Chapter 411: The Plague (Part II)
"I think Terenus is quite wise in his opinion of you. Antonidas's cold snort made Gianna extremely curious, and the little girl thought about it and decided to go in through the window. Although Gianna knew she was better off leaving before she was discovered, curiosity drove her on. Maybe I'll make a new discovery this time. Curiosity has led Gianna to make new discoveries, such as the island of Kozan, Sal, and the sins of Dunhold......
"You should be smarter than the kings who only care about politics!
"As I said, I'm not interested in this kind of nonsense. Antonidas's tone was still condescending. So the Prophet was silent for a moment, then sighed, "Then I'm wasting my time. ”
The next moment Gianna was shocked, Gianna couldn't take her eyes off it, and the stranger's form blurred before her eyes, and began to shrink and deform. A man in a monk's robe, a moment ago, is now a black raven. It let out a frustrated scream and jumped into the air, flapping its wings and flying away.
Antonidas was still staring at the blue sky, and the visitor was now a vanishing black dot. "Gianna, you can come out. ”
Gianna's cheeks flushed, and she recited a spell to unspell the spell, then stepped forward. "Teacher, I'm sorry for eavesdropping on your conversation......"
"Okay kid, I know you're curious about a lot of things, so it's your inquisitive nature that we're going to use next. Antonidas laughed and said, "That crazy and stupid guy is talking about the end of the world, pure. I think he's exaggerating the plague. ”
"The plague?" These days, Gianna has been at the gate of Dalaran, concentrating on sorting out the previous information, and she really doesn't know about this new plague.
"I went to the royal capital to shoot some messengers, nominally to discuss the issue of orcs, but the issue now seems more urgent. ”
Gianna listened quietly, Antonidas waved his sleeves, and the magic teapot automatically poured tea for the two, and took a sip, Antonidas continued: "It is possible for orcs to negotiate with humans, but disease cannot. The report pointed out that a plague was spreading in the north, and there were a lot of suspicions there, so I thought Kenrito needed to investigate the matter. ”
Gianna looked at her teacher suspiciously, shouldn't it be the priest who went at this time, let the mage investigate the plague, unless......
"Do you think there's magic in there, or is it a man-made accident?"
Antonidas nodded his head to confirm Gianna's guess: "It's very likely, that's why we sent you to investigate this matter, and it's a great opportunity to go out and explore, you've learned almost everything I can give you, and now is the time to put your learning to the test." Plus, this time it's not solo action, and you'll have a couple of great helpers. As for who it is, you'll find out when you get there. ”
"Okay teacher, I'll go now. ”
To the north of Dalaran, Arthas leaned against a tree, his eyes closed in the faint sunlight. He knew he was conveying calmness and confidence, and he had to. His men were worried enough to let them see that they were nervous too. After all, this time it won't be easy...... How are they going to get along? Maybe it's not a wise decision. But all the reports were urgent, and he knew she had the coolest mind. This will work out smoothly. It has to go well.
"I'm going to stumble on you!" Arthas heard a roar in the distance, and eighty percent of a creature had broken into the ogre's territory. Like a leopard napping in the sun, Arthas jumped vigilantly, with a war hammer in his hand. He looked down the road and saw a slender female figure running over the top of the hill. Behind her was a green whirlpool of water, with a gruff head and limbs, and Arthas knew it was an elemental creature. Standing behind her were two water elementals.
Arthas watched from the heights and did not go down to help. And Gianna was indeed able to dispose of those guys on her own. Although Gianna majored in ice, the flames were also her good play, and in an instant, the white and chubby bodies of the two ogres were engulfed by the flames, and one of the ogres wanted to escape, and Gianna suddenly set him a confinement ice trap. The ogre, whose feet were frozen, threw himself straight forward, and Gianna warmed it up. Soon, the two ogres were silent except for the smell of burning. The most amazing thing happened here, the flame that could bake people into charcoal did not burn the ice cubes, but all the tissues inside the ice cubes were burned into charcoal.
Gianna saw Arthas and simply greeted him, Gianna didn't even sweat from the battle just now.
"Gentlemen, this is Miss Gianna Proudmoore. She is Kenrito's envoy, one of the most talented young mages on the mainland. ”
After introducing everyone, Arthas looked at Gianna and said enthusiastically, "I'm so glad to see you." ”
Gianna nodded: "Me too." ”
Compared to Alsace's enthusiasm, Gianna seems to be a lot colder, over the years, Gianna has been playing more on the island of Kozan than on Lordaeron, and has not communicated so much with Alsace.
"Your Highness, let's not be greetings, let's get down to business, what do you know about this plague we are going to investigate?"
"Not too much. I had just received orders from my father, and had been fighting the orcs with Uther. But I think that since Dalaran's mage wants to investigate the truth, it must have something to do with magic. ”
She smiled and nodded, but she was complaining in her heart, as if she didn't say it, Gianna sighed and said, "You're right. Although I don't know exactly what is going on yet. That's why my teacher, Antonidas, sent me. We must investigate the villages near the King's Road and ask the villagers for useful information. It's likely that they haven't been infected yet, and it's a localized outbreak at best. ”
Seeing Gianna frowning, Arthas quickly changed the subject: "I don't know if this plague works for orcs? ”
Gianna looked at him and said nothing, but looked very unhappy. Arthas was a little confused, not knowing what he had said wrong. After studying with Uther and so many paladins who were full of affection for so many years, no one told him how to talk to the girl so that he wouldn't die of chatting......
