Chapter 12: Greetings from the Scourge Legion
When this inexplicable worry rises in his heart, it is difficult for Hiko to calm his heart. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info He knew that little Pamela was not like himself, he was a being outside of this world. He couldn't touch everything in this world, and nothing in this world could hurt him. In one word, it's a mirror.
Pamela, on the other hand, is just a ghost, a dead soul that cannot rest in peace. If it were on Earth, maybe no one would have been able to hurt her. But in Azeroth, where natural disasters are raging and holy light and magic are all in unison, the ghost of a little girl is really not a great existence.
Any necromancer in the Scourge can inflict fatal damage on her, let alone the Scarlet Crusaders who can slash people on sight like madmen. So Hiko kept telling little Pamela to hide as much as possible from anyone who looked dangerous.
Now, something as terrible as an abomination has appeared, little Pamela must have gone into hiding. With this in mind, Hiko immediately ran towards Pamela's hut. As soon as he entered the dilapidated hut, he immediately called out at a loud voice.
"Pamela, Pamela. Are you here? It's me, I'm your friend Mr. Ghost. Answer me!"
No one answered him, and the room was as quiet as a cemetery. This situation made Hiko's heart even more anxious.
"Little Pamela, it's really me. Have you forgotten what I promised you? I promised you to get you the news of your Uncle Carlin, and now I have done it. I found Carlin and brought back news of him. ”
As soon as he said this, a small head suddenly peeked out from behind the crack in the door. Then Hiko heard the ghost girl's timid voice.
"Is it really you? Mr. Spectre. ”
"It's me, it's really me. Great, it's great that you're okay. ”
Seeing that the little girl was safe and sound, Hiko's heart suddenly let go. Although he can't touch this child who makes him feel distressed. But he rushed to her with a quick stride and hugged her.
Of course, this action had no effect, and the little girl did not know what was going on. She just instinctively sensed Hiko's concern for her in her voice, so much so that she immediately began to babble to him about the recent events that had happened in the ruins of Talonshire.
"Mr. Ghost, it's been months since you've been gone. Did you find my Uncle Carlin, and Aunt Maraine?"
"Also, there's been a bunch of weird guys in town lately. They arrested them all. Especially the ugly and smelly big fat man, it was so bad that it ate everyone. I was so scared that I kept hiding in this corner. Mr. Ghost, you say, does that stinky guy eat children?"
"Don't worry, little Pamela. That monster can't hurt you. ”
The little girl's incoherent words made Hiko immediately comfort her with a gentle voice.
"That's right, Pamela. Don't you want to know about your uncle? I've found your uncle, and I've found your sister. ”
"Yes, yes, really?" the little girl was immediately overwhelmed with excitement as soon as she heard this. "Tell me, tell me how they are. Please, please, Mr. Spectre!"
"Alright, alright. I know. ”
Listening to the little girl's innocent and carefree voice, Hiko's face finally showed a rare smile.
"Your Uncle Carlin is now in a large organization called Silver Dawn. Well, what can I tell you? You know the Knights of the Silver Hand of Lordaeron. ”
"Yes, yes. Daddy told me that!" As soon as she heard her familiar name, little Pamela immediately rushed to say excitedly. "Dad said there were a lot of great big people in there. They are all strong and compassionate people like Lord Uther. Dad said that his biggest dream was that I could join there and become an amazing knight that people will always remember. ”
"Yes, you're going to be an amazing person. You will be remembered as someone to remember. Reaching through little Pamela's head, Hiko awkwardly withdrew his hand again. "I just said where I was, by the way, your uncle joined the Silver Dawn. He was a great warrior, and every day he fought against those terrible undead. Everybody respects him, and he misses you, Pamela. Even at night, when he is talking in his sleep, he is saying your name. ”
"Pamela misses Uncle Carlin and Aunt Maraine too. Also, Pamela didn't want Uncle Carlin to think about me all the time. When the little girl heard this, she had a sad look on her face.
"Pamela......" Hearing the little girl say this, Hiko immediately choked up. He didn't know how to comfort the little girl, let alone how to remove the sadness from her heart. Soon, however, the optimistic little girl regained her spirits.
"Don't talk about such bad things, Mr. Spectre. You said you also found news of my sister, where is my sister now?"
"Ah, your sister!" Collecting his feelings, Hiko immediately said what he had heard. "Your sister Jessica is now in the town of Eonwang in the Winterspring Valley of Kalimdor, a place like a world of ice and snow. She's doing well, and you can rest assured, little Pamela. ”
"It's great that my sister is okay, Kalimdor's Winterspring Valley, do you really want to see where my sister lives?" Hiko's description filled little Pamela with longing, and her longing was almost impossible to accomplish. Ghosts, especially young ones like her, can't move around at all. They are imprisoned in a fixed place until their souls are completely gone.
This is a fact that Hiko learned from the small talk of a group of priests, and this fact is simply unacceptable to him. He couldn't accept that little Pamela had such a tragic end, so he strengthened his determination.
Be sure to give her rest.
It's something that's easy to say, but almost hopeless to do. After all this time, after working hard for so long, Hiko still found that all that he had done did not achieve the results he wanted. Neither Carlin nor Jessica's news could make the poor little girl feel satisfied. Although she was happy, Hiko could still clearly see the loneliness and sadness in her heart.
He knew why little Pamela was in this mood. However, he could not solve her problems. This distressing little girl has been waiting for the day when her father returns, and even if she becomes a ghost, she always insists on this little wish of herself. And in the face of this little wish, how can Hiko tell the cruel truth and tear all the sweet dreams in her heart to shreds?
He had to remain silent, but little Pamela, who was already full of longing, opened her mouth to him and asked him.
"Mr. Ghost, have you heard from my father, Joseph? He said he would come back to pick me up, but I waited so long that I couldn't wait for him to come back. Mr. Spectre, do you have any news of him? Even a little. ”
This question made Hiko's heart feel like a block, and he had a feeling that he didn't know how to answer. But in order to prevent little Pamela from noticing that something was wrong, he forcibly adjusted his mind after a while, and said to her in a calm tone.
"I'm sorry, Pamela. You know, I can't communicate with anyone other than you. So I can't ask them about your father. It's already extra lucky to meet your uncle. So, I'm really sorry, I can't help you. But I think your father must have missed you too, but what he did was too important to take a break. When he's done with his business, he'll be sure to come back and reunite with you. ”
"If that's the case, that's great. ”
The little girl bowed her head so deeply that Hiko couldn't see what her expression was like now. But he could hear it clearly, the disappointment and sadness in her words. She seemed to have guessed something, but she didn't want to admit it yet, and she stubbornly waited and persisted.
Both fell silent. At this moment, it was as if they had lost the ability to speak, and they didn't know what to say. At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from outside the house.
A stout iron hook covered in rust suddenly tore through the dilapidated walls and hooked onto the last remaining beams. Then, with a strange, scalp-tingling roar, the chains behind the hooks suddenly straightened, and with a loud bang, the entire roof and half of the walls were forcibly dragged out.
The dust and smoke filled the air, and everything in the house was unreservedly exposed. At this time, Hiko noticed that he and little Pamela had been surrounded by two strange guys.
One of the strange guys looks like a mountain of meat. But in reality, he is even more terrible than Roshan. Because his entire body was pieced together by countless corpses. Dense thick threads covered every wound on his body, and the large iron hooks wrapped around his thick arms were full of black-brown marks. And the sinister smile on the faces that looked weird and awkward, as if they had pulled out parts of the faces of more than a dozen people and then reassembled them into one, made people even more frightened, and their limbs were weak.
This is the Abomination Butcher, the terrible monster created by the Scourge Legion, a real battlefield meat grinder. However, such a monster is not an existence with the right to speak, and it is another guy who is really speaking at this time.
It was a skinny creature cloaked in a scarlet cloak, so tightly wrapped that there was barely anything to be seen except for a pair of dark blue ghostly eyes. He rode on a skeleton horse with only bones and saddles left, and although he didn't look very tall, he unleashed a power that was three points stronger than that of the butcher.
And when he saw little Pamela, a soul-like trilling sound came out of his throat.
"It's funny, there's an undead here that isn't controlled by the Lich King's will. Looks like I should give her to His Majesty the Great Lich King, and let him see what difference this rare little creature makes!"
