Chapter 060: Make a Statue of Me?
Katrana, the woman in memory of turning Stormwind upside down, didn't show up?As she slowly walked along the renovated walls, Lanlos lowered her head and her face shifted.
In the gamer circles of the previous life, this name may not be like thunder, but her real name is well-known.
One of the Black Dragon siblings, Onexia.
Her appearance completely intensified the contradiction between the aristocratic class and the workers and peasants in the Stormwind Kingdom, and pulled Stormwind City, which had finally regained its life, into the whirlpool of destruction again.
Under her guidance, the aristocracy refused to pay the masons most of their wages for the rebuilding of Stormwind, and arranged for the assassination of Queen Tiffin Ureon during a protest riot. His wife was killed, and Varian expelled all the stonemasons in a fit of rage, and he was depressed every day.
The brotherhood of stonemasons, who did not receive a dime salary, forced them to Liangshan and became robbers and bandits in the territory of the Stormwind Kingdom.
At the same time, Countess Caterina Presto easily climbed to the top of the aristocracy with her great control and leadership. In order to completely control Stormwind, she even secretly teamed up with Van Cleef, who led the stonemasons to form the Defia Brotherhood, and kidnapped the king of Stormwind.
The infiltration of the black dragon's harboring evil intentions led to the increasing corruption of the aristocratic class, and the Defia brothers became more and more rampant, and even once shielded his brother Nefarian's colorful dragon experiments in the Black Rock Mountain, causing the people in the Stormwind Kingdom to live in poverty.
Although Varian eventually returned to Stormwind with the help of many parties, the damage caused by Onexia still took a toll on the Stormwind Kingdom. After that, Lordaeron fell, the nations of humanity fought their own battles, and demons invaded......
Luckily, under Varian's rule, the Kingdom of Stormwind regained its strength and eventually became the vanguard of the Lich King's efforts. But that's another story.
Now the question is, why didn't Katrana come as expected, could it be because of Deathwing's early exposure?
Lanloth's brows were tightly knit together, and he was more uneasy than doubtful.
The world has changed, and although there are signs of it very early, the staggered distortion of the timeline has made him slowly unable to see the future. The biggest advantage of being a traverser is moving away from him step by step.
For one thing, in order to get rid of the threat of the Burning Legion and Sargeras, he has not had the opportunity to devote himself to the development of his roots in this world. Although the potential of the Arcane has expanded countless times because of the opportunities of Saragossa and Tanaris, his arms are still too thin compared to the impending danger of this world.
He needs time, he needs a helper.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but speed up his pace forward.
Lanlos didn't notice that Farad, who was far behind him, was silently looking at his back, and his cold and dark eyes buried all his emotions deeply, and he couldn't see the slightest change.
——————————————
"Look at you, how old you are, why do you still look like a child......"
Looking at the girl in front of him covered in mud and lime, Madias was so angry in his heart. What a good seedling this girl is, why do you like some mud-legged things?
"At least it's much cleaner than the work of MI7. Edwin saw through the guy's prejudice at a glance and sneered.
Madias is noncommittal, he is not discriminatory, things are prioritized, Vanessa has a talent that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve, at this stage of the Stormwind Kingdom, it is definitely a serious waste to bury such talents under lime dust and dirt. Besides, there is a division of three, six, nine and so on in this world.
"Hee-hee, I'm still a kid. Seeing that the two adults were about to go toe-for-tat again, the embarrassed little girl grinned, her white teeth contrasting sharply with the sludge on her face. The funny shape, coupled with this seemingly headless excuse, made the two adults laugh.
"Alright, kid, since we've had enough fun, we should go back. Madias grabbed the little girl by the wrist, not minding the plaster, and dragged her to leave.
Of course, Edwin knew the reason why he was in such a hurry, and while he was amused, he didn't stop it. The reconstruction of Stormwind City is about to be completed, and it is becoming more and more difficult for him to find time to spend with his children these days, although Matthias has his own selfish intentions, but thanks to his help to take care of it, otherwise he will be saddened to death by this bear child day by day.
"Go ahead. Edwin smiled kindly at Vanessa's pleading gaze, "Don't forget to wash your clothes yourself." ”
"Got it!" Vanessa's good mood after a morning of playing was instantly shattered, Vanessa drooped her little face, glared at her father indignantly, and turned to follow Matthias away.
But at this moment, the Master Assassin suddenly stopped, and his originally loose body became as sharp as a blade at this moment, and his fierce gaze was like the fangs of a fierce beast in the shadows, accurately and fatally biting the slowly approaching figure.
"Long time no see. "The visitor stopped outside the warning range with good interest, his hands sticking out from under his tattered cloak, and slowly lifting his hood to show his harmlessness," said Matthias Shore. ”
Almost at the same time as Madias stopped, Edwin was already in front of Vanessa. Although he hadn't worked with him for many years, he knew very well that with his old friend's skills, there were only a handful of people who could make him so nervous.
"Yo, what kind of wind is blowing today? Seeing the face of the visitor, Madias was startled at first, and then quickly regained his caution. It wasn't the spirit that made him like this, it was ......
Glancing at the stranger hanging far behind Lanlos, Matthias's eyes narrowed slightly. Having been in this line of work for a long time, his intuition can always judge the source of the crisis one step ahead.
Although Matthias's expression changed slightly, Lanlos was still aware of it. However, he didn't think much of it, and in his opinion, as a colleague, Madias's wariness of Farad was taken for granted.
"I heard that the reconstruction of Stormwind is in full swing, so I was not curious, so I came to observe the new life of the lion. As he spoke, Lanloth's gaze slowly shifted to the father and daughter behind him.
The black-brown hair was draped very casually, and although the stubble had not been taken care of for a long time, the hard outline of the knife was faintly recognizable. The plain overalls have obviously not been renewed for a long time, and the color is badly faded, and new stitching marks can be seen from time to time, which sets off the dark complexion quite inconspicuously.
At first glance, this man is an ordinary stonemason.
Edwin Van Cleef, role model for outlaws, nightmare of the Wild West, leader of the Brotherhood of Defia.
Of course, not now. Now he is just an ordinary person who is keen on family life and creating the future with his hands.
Lanloth's gaze shifted slightly downwards to the small, smart, curious eyes that poked out from behind him.
"The little girl is so cute. The suave elf slowly showed a sunny and friendly smile, "It's just a little naughty." ”
The praise at the beginning combined with the fairy's heroic, clean and kind and charming appearance really made little Vanessa's heart skip a beat. As a result, after hearing his later words, the little girl who was still indifferent to the dust and mud instantly blushed embarrassedly.
On the other hand, Gianna in the rear, hearing this deliberately flattering flattery, and the shy reaction of this black-haired little sister, the corners of her mouth were almost crooked to the sky. Poor boy, fortunately, he saw his true colors early on. Hypocrisy, the next work!
The idea of whether this guy has any special disgusting fetishes about the age of the opposite sex suddenly popped up in his heart, and Gianna couldn't help but shudder. After glancing at the soft, warm smiling face of the elf with resentment, a trace of doubt rose in her heart.
Is this smile really fake?
Somehow, looking at Lanlos, who had always cast a gentle look at little Vanessa, an emotion that made Gianna inexplicably irritable kept hovering in her heart.
Van Cleef had also seen the world when he was in MI7, and he was more wary of his daughter's curiosity about elves.
"Madias, don't you want to introduce your friends?" Although the person who came was unruly in his clothes, Van Cleef still keenly sensed the difference of the other party. The momentum that made people seem to have to look up not only made him subconsciously protect Vanessa behind him, but also desperately wanted Shore to give him a reassuring answer.
After repeatedly confirming that Farad, who was in the distance, would not sneak closer, Matthias was also relieved, and then turned his head to hear Van Cleef's nervous question, and he immediately laughed: "Why, don't you even know this adult? If I'm not mistaken, you carved his name in the Valley of Heroes yourself a few months ago." ”
"Valley of Heroes?Elves...... It's you!" Following his words, Van Cleve's eyes suddenly widened, and his deep voice became sharp with surprise, "You're Lanloth!
Hero Valley? Won't you give me back a sculpture? This is not very good? Hey, hey......
Hearing the conversation between the two, Lan Luos was stunned for a moment, and then his heart couldn't control the ecstasy: "Haha, I didn't expect that the names under me were actually engraved in Stormwind City, it seems that when I do some stealing things in the future, I will have to find another name." ”
Hearing this, Gianna behind her took a step back with a grim face. Phew, nature is hard to change.
Van Cleef was originally cramped because of the other party's prominent status, but in a blink of an eye, this powerful elven archmage actually complained like a rogue. The huge contrast made him not react for a while, and when he came back to his senses, Vanessa, who was hiding behind him, suddenly screamed.
"Ah, you're the prisoner who was captured by Dalaran!"
