Volume II: The Storm Falls 53 at its own peril
These days the soldiers have been arranged into the ranks of repairing the town, and I do not approve of my soldiers doing this kind of work.
After training, the bandits who had nothing to do went to play in the town, which inevitably aroused the jealousy of the other soldiers. Also because ...... Money on them.
Listening to Green say that I am now the god of wealth in everyone's hearts, this group of bandits never expected to be so proud now. They all said that for the first time, they could live so happily in front of anyone. Some people even say that it feels really good to be treated like a human being.
But I also told Ralph to restrain them, at least not to cause trouble. But exhortation is exhortation, and in the end, it was a series of beatings and punishments that made this group of guys who had just been adults a little restrained.
I finally had a little time to spare that day and decided to check out Morgan. This guy has been injured for more than ten days now, and I don't know how he is recovering...... And also...... I decided to take a look.
Now the town is being tinkered with, the orc houses are not as detailed as the humans, and the town has been badly damaged by war.
As I walked down the street, I suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu. Encounters are not all beautiful, and there are many more that are sad and regrettable. I try to shift my attention to the people and things around me in a vain attempt to get rid of the memories of the past, but the reality is that the past is constantly reminding me of what happened in the past.
It made me feel sad for a while. I can't say how I feel, it's just a very tangled, unhappy, and ashamed kind of awkwardness.
As the saying goes, there is no single line of disaster. The more you annoy yourself, the more things tend to happen. As I walked near the square, a few workers stepped out of the tavern, followed by a few of my men.
As my gaze swept over a few workers to look at my men, a man's face caught my eye.
I just felt my legs tremble suddenly, and I instinctively wanted to dodge to the side. A familiar figure. Not one, but two. One is Felix and the other is ...... Will!
Felix was a logistician on the original construction site, and was the deputy to the then-secretary Vernon. And this Will, I will never forget, is the closest partner of Tim's side. Also one of the first four people I came into contact with.
He...... How is he here!
My brain pumped for a moment, what expression should I use? All of a sudden I panicked.
"Lord Bill!" Behind them, my men greeted me respectfully.
When I came back to my senses, I instantly felt hot on my face. Quickly moved his gaze to those guys. I just pretended to be calm and walked past these people. I can see it clearly...... The two of them froze on their faces.
"Ran out so early!" I lowered my voice.
"Today is our rotation." One of them grinned.
"Drink less! Less effort on those women! Empty your body, and I'll fill you in the pit in front of town. I reached out and hammered them in the chest.
"Yes! Lord Bill! "A few people stood up and saluted me.
With a sigh of relief, I didn't go into the tavern, but continued on my way. I felt like they were staring at me behind me! I could hear them talking about me.
That's a problem! This is big trouble! Are they still members of the Masonry Brotherhood?
The thought made my sweat burst out. Oh, yes...... If they are still from the Brotherhood of Masonry...... A few days later, Edwin must have known me better. What about the man who followed me in Stormwind......
I strode into the building where Morgan lived.
Walking briskly upstairs, I had just reached the door of Morgan's room...... That's Morgan! How is that not him! He was holding a man in his arms......
They turned their backs to me, but the sight made my head dizzy. I was stunned for a second and I twisted to the side! I couldn't believe it was real, and I wanted to see it again, but I couldn't help it!
I'd rather tell myself I was wrong! It must have been a hallucination just now, and it won't be like this if I come back in two days! So I turned around and left, but as soon as I reached the staircase, I heard the voices of two people.
"He must be upstairs, Elle is there!"
"Quick! I must have read that right! ”
I turned around and walked back, turning around and walking into a hospital room.
"Who are you looking for?" The guy asked me with a wink.
I closed the door and reached out in a silent motion.
"Who are you? What do you want? He didn't mean to shut up.
For a moment, I felt murderous in my heart. He jumped over, and before he could open his mouth to call, I grabbed his throat. He was screaming and grabbing my face with both hands.
Somehow, when I came back to my senses, he didn't move. After laying him flat on the bed, I rolled out the window.
In the evening I did not return to the barracks, but walked out of town and east until I walked into the woods. I hate alcohol, but I can't find a way to forget everything I just saw and heard. I wanted to get angry, but I couldn't find someone to vent to.
This frustration, shame, chagrin, and unwillingness took over my heart.
Staring at my eyes from dark to dawn, I didn't feel sleepy at all.
I slipped back to camp early in the morning, and unlike what I had imagined, it was as if nothing had happened. Until dawn, I found the two brothers who had been with me from birth to death.
"There's something I need you both to help me do." I looked at the skinny Abuli and Handy.
The look in the eyes of both of them told me I could trust them. "From today onwards, I need you two to keep an eye on two of them, and I'll take you to get to know the two of you who you're going to be following in a moment. Mistakes are not allowed, mistakes are not allowed, and if there is danger or the situation does not allow it, the first thing is to protect yourself and hide yourself. In case you accidentally get discovered, do it yourself. I stared at the two of them and said, "Can it be done?" ”
The two of them nodded in unison and said to me very firmly, "Don't worry." ”
"I want to know as much as I can about what they say to each other, even what they do, including who they meet." I said to them in all seriousness.
I went to see Morgan that day, and the guy had become so much more cheerful, and this eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy described to me the beauty of love, and he took Ellie...... No, it should be called Lisby to be an angel in the sky, a bright moon in the night, and a morning star in the dark.
Looking at his young, content, happy, longing face, I looked at him with a smile. She walked in suddenly, and I stood up and tried to keep smiling as much as I could. I looked at her, and she only glanced at me.
Quickly saying goodbye to the two of them, I left the room. The way she looked at me just now was no longer a doubt, and that glance instantly broke my heart.
"Isn't that what you want?" A voice roared.
"How the could this be!" I roared inwardly.
"It's all your own doing! What to pretend to be pitiful? Do you want to pretend to be pitiful when you abuse yourself? The voice was not polite.
"Get out! Get lost! Shut up! Shut the fuck up! How could he do that! Morgan! He...... How can it be ......"
"Who are you when you are? It's good if you admit it, do you dare? You can't give Ellie happiness, why don't you give her a new life? Don't you keep saying you love her? The voice was extremely high-pitched.
"Shut up!"
"You think she can feel your pain? It's just self-deception! You poor guy who likes masochism and likes to touch himself. The voice was gone.
I felt my whole body tremble, and I sat down on the side of the street.
For a few days I felt bored, I didn't want to go anywhere, I didn't want to eat anything. Abuli and Handy would occasionally come to me to report what had happened. Will has left Blackwood.
I wasn't surprised at all to hear the news, I was even a little looking forward to which scene in my heart would happen, and I wanted to see what everyone's expressions were.
"What's wrong with you?" Reggie stood in the doorway of my house and looked at me.
I was too lazy to talk to him, too lazy to talk to anyone.
"It's been a few days, what's the matter with you? Feeling bad? He looked at me with an eyebrow raised.
Seeing that I didn't speak, he said to himself, "I'm going to go to investigate, for a few days." He said.
"Hmm." I snorted.
"Ugh." He got up and walked out.
"You wait!" As soon as he walked out of the house, I suddenly stopped him. "Don't go yet. I have other arrangements. ”
He looked at me in amazement, "What do you want to do?" ”
"Don't go, you and your brothers can enjoy themselves at home, leave this task to me." I said and patted him on the shoulder.
He was walking in the yard when I rode into Grayson's estate.
"What are you doing here?" He was shocked.
"Urgent mission, ask if the adults are interested." I lied.
"What task?"
"Scouting, it's been a little too quiet in the forest lately. When things go wrong, there must be demons. Would you like to come with me? I said.
"Someone! Gather my guards! "It felt like he was going to jump.
"Not too many people, twenty is enough. Too much is a nuisance. "I said." Tell your people to take off the heavy plate armor and don't want the scales. We're here to investigate, not to attack. ”
An hour later, twenty elites had changed into fine leather armor. I frowned, looked at the decently dressed Grayson and pouted. "Let's go!" I let out a loud shout.
The dilapidated village east of Brightwood is deserted, and the villagers here have either been killed or fled. It's mostly deserted. Until the end of the war, it is estimated that they will no longer settle down from the forefront of the front.
I told Grayson that this time we were going to find the place where the orcs came.
Grayson said casually, "Didn't they come out of the sea?" ”
"Who did you listen to?"
"That's all said." He said.
"Orcs come from another world."
"Not the bottom of the sea? The bottom of the sea is also another world. ”
"No, no, no, the bottom of the sea is part of this world, I mean they come from another ...... Spacetime. Got it? Spacetime. ”
He shook his head. "Did they live in the past, or what?"
"You can say that." I don't know how to explain it to him. "In short, they are not monsters from the bottom of the sea, the monsters at the bottom of the sea are changed by elves, more than 10,000 years ago." I say.
"What is an elf?"
"Have you heard of Quel'Salas?"
"I've heard of it."
"Ten thousand years ago, they were destroyed, and what remains is what is now Quel'Thalas, as you heard in the story. What is destroyed is the stuff at the bottom of the sea. Got it? ”
He nodded pretending to understand.
I explained a lot to him along the way, and after stepping into the forest, I showed them how to treat and prevent swamp gases. Later, the way he looked at me became a little adoring.
Scary things always come slowly when you're happy, that's the law. I don't know why.
We're lost!
