Chapter Twenty-Three: Negotiations with the Light

Li Ke pulled out a somewhat dilapidated but well-kept map from the tavern's room.

He sat at the table, looked at the map in front of him, and couldn't help but have a headache.

Because his town is very close to Stratholme, very close, basically next to Stratholme.

In other words, if something happens to Stratholme, then he basically didn't run.

Although Li Ke doesn't know much about the plot of World of Warcraft, he still knows the plot of Stratholme, a fairly classic game.

The general plot is that when the prince named Arthas clears the cultists, he discovers that there is a plague in the food that can turn people into undead, and then the people killed by these undead can become new undead.

This food has spread in and around Stratholme, and neither the Doctors, nor the Light, nor the Wizards have been able to solve the problem. And there is a demon named Marganis who is competing with him to kill people, and those who are killed by him will also become undead.

Worst of all, they don't even have the ability to tell if they're poisoned.

On one side are the undead who are not afraid of death, have no fear and most of the vital points, and will not die without breaking their heads. On the other side are ordinary citizens who can tremble and fear.

Whether to sit back and wait for the people of a city to become undead, and then under the command of Marganis, hundreds of thousands of undead will rush straight to Lordaeron, or kill most of the human beings here in advance to prevent the further outbreak of this plague.

The Prince of Alsace chose the latter.

Then Stratholme became a dead city, Li Ke didn't know what the surrounding situation would be, but he had forced the current prince to the point of slaughtering the city, so it would definitely not be very good.

Moreover, they also investigated all the way there according to clues.

In other words, it's not just that there is a problem in one city, but that there are problems everywhere else.

"That's really ......"

Li Ke saw the original town on the map, the original town was farther away from Stratholme, and when he ran away, he couldn't be called sane in that state, so he ran to the side of such a big pit.

"The problem now is that I want to be a knight, and I want to leave Lordaeron as soon as possible. If I'm not mistaken, it wasn't long before Stratholme went completely insane and became the Lich King. ”

Li Ke didn't know much about the plot after that, but later he still knew about the death of the Lordaeron Kingdom to which he now belonged.

I have also considered this kind of thing in a hurry to become a human master, wanting to earn enough money before Lordaeron is finished, and then run to another human kingdom for refuge.

It was only when he was interrupted by the matter of the succubus, so after being reminded by the holy light, he suddenly remembered.

There's no way, not everyone can calmly face the broken corpses of an entire town after experiencing strong winds and waves.

"With my current wealth and ability, it's absolutely fine to go to the Storm Kingdom safely, but if I run away now, then I won't talk about the damage to my reputation, and I feel that the lord who was deceived by me will definitely want me. And even if I run away to another human kingdom, without a proper identity, I will still be a person with a lot of money. ”

Li Ke tapped his fingers.

The status of a knight can never be given up, and I haven't heard anyone talk about cults now, so everything is still in time.

"So how do you go without a trace? Let the lord believe that I don't mean to run away......"

Li Ke's mind kept thinking.

At this time, another sound of footsteps came out, and Jennifer, who seemed to be like an undead, walked down holding a candle, and Li Ke looked at Jennifer through the window who was constantly groping for things in the kitchen in the dark, and the answer immediately appeared in his heart.

Jennifer ...... So how about using the credibility of the Holy Light to make the lord think that I was taking Jennifer somewhere else to ask for help? ”

Li Ke's mind kept coming up with various thoughts, and the best way was undoubtedly to leave here with Jennifer on the pretext of going out to see a doctor.

And for good reason.

But there are two problems with this plan.

One is whether the lord is willing to release people.

From the fact that Jennifer was raised by his old subordinates, it is known that the lord definitely has feelings for Jennifer, but this kind of affection is not very much......

"Moreover, after I have demonstrated the ability to use the Light, he may not be willing to let me go, the allegiance of a user of the Light can greatly enhance his credibility and authority."

Unless......

This user of the Light has abilities beyond his control.

A plan quickly took shape in Li Ke's mind, as long as he could become a powerful holy light to use, and have a certain effect on Jennifer's injury, then it would definitely not be a problem!

This town is a small town after all, and it can't accommodate too talented people, and this lord is not a stupid person, as long as I am willing to marry his daughter......

This plan definitely works!

But now the question is how he will become a powerful user of the Light.

Thinking of the person who called himself Naru, Li Ke was entangled for a moment, after all, he personally hung up the contact with the other party, and now contact the other party......

Actually, there's nothing to be embarrassed about.

It's all about practicality.

Li Ke closed his eyes and summoned the Holy Light again.

But this time, he kept chasing the feeling he had before, so that he could connect with that feeling, and if the other party really valued him, he should be like a demon, constantly paying attention to him!

There is no doubt that this is gambling.

But he was right!

"Have you changed your mind? Mortal? ”

Volos's voice with some doubts sounded in Li Ke's heart.

It was really puzzled, the time for Li Ke to take the initiative to contact him was too short, not to mention the time scale of his Naru, even with the time scale of mortals, it was difficult for a person to make an important choice.

"Well, not exactly."

There was some embarrassment in Li Ke's tone, but soon, he abandoned this useless emotion.

"That's?"

"I mean, do you still have temporary workers here?"

"Temporary??"

Volos's mind was full of dazed feelings, he had only heard of the words of dedicating his life to the Light, but this was the first time he had heard the term temporary.

"What do you mean by mortal?"

It doesn't understand.

"It's, well, I'm here to do something for you, you pay me some of the Light and the Light's skills or something, well, it's mutually beneficial."

Li Ke actually wanted to talk about contract workers.
