Volume II Storm Falls 202 Gloomy Revelations

The sunlight outside the window confused me, I didn't know if I slept for a while or for a long time, I couldn't tell if it was morning or afternoon. Just lying quietly and looking at the slightly reddened sky outside in a daze.

Images of the battle came to me like a movie, charging into battle, riding and slashing. Then my hand was ...... Smashed......

Only then did I remember what I was doing, I slowly raised my hand, and the miraculous thing appeared to me again, not only the swollen area had disappeared, but I tried to move it, and the broken bones of yesterday had also recovered.

When I walked out of the room, I was stunned for a second to find that the tavern was full of people, and I remembered that there was no one in the tavern when I moved in.

As you descend the stairs, there is a sea of joy in the hall below, where people sing, dance, sing and dance. How long did I sleep......

I sat down at the bar and found the bartender looking at me with wide eyes, "What are you looking at?" I lifted my eyelids and glanced at him.

"Are you alright?"

"How?" I said, gesturing to the beer in the hand of the person next to me.

"Not really." He turned around and poured me a drink. I turned my head to look at the man next to me, then behind me, and it seemed the same as before. The bartender pushed the glass in front of me, "Sir, I've seen you." ”

"Maybe I've seen it, maybe I haven't seen it." I turned my head and picked up my glass. I'm so thirsty right now, I don't have any taste in my mouth, and I need some liquid to get my tongue excited.

"How long did I sleep?" I took a sip and pushed the cup back to him.

"One day." He blinked, "All day." ”

"What time is it?"

"I didn't understand ......"

"Is it afternoon?" I say. The man next to him burst out laughing. I squinted at the guy next to me, "Are you sleepy?" He laughed.

"It's afternoon, sir. You came over yesterday afternoon, and then ...... It's been a whole day now. The bartender tries to keep a harmless smile as much as possible.

"The orcs are back?"

"Yes." The bartender said. "You're a soldier, aren't you...... ...... on you," he pointed at me. I looked down, and there was dirt and blood on my body. "Yesterday I was charging outside the city." I say.

"You're one of Duke Berval's?" The man next to me turned his face to look at me.

I squinted at him. "Hmm......" he pouted. I'm sorry for what happened to you. ”

"What's wrong with them?"

"Duke Bervar went after the orcs with his men, Lord Lothar led his troops to relieve the siege, and your brothers went to raid the town of Shining Gold and burned the reserves of the orcs, and the orcs retreated to the town of Shining Gold after retreating in front of the gates of Stormwind and encountered your surprise attack. Now the orc forces have largely collapsed. Ha! He laughed, "I didn't expect orcs to be nothing to fear. ”

"yes, it's far from when the trolls were besieging the city." Another person interjected. "You've heard that Lord Lothar rushed into the ...... with a thousand iron horsemen?"

I looked at the bartender, "Give me another drink." ”

It only took one day for Stormwind to go back to the way it was before, but now happy people didn't care about people like me and even threw me a kind smile.

When I found Reggie, he looked at me in amazement, limped up to me, and touched me. Luke was the last person to see me, but after the battle, the count found me, Luke said I was slashed, but my body was not found when the battlefield was cleaned.

He patted my chest excitedly and said it was okay.

Stormwind's forces have reclaimed all the land west of Grimm, and it is now said that the orcs have fled to the town of Eastvalley.

I sat in my chair, and the light of the setting sun shone in through the window, reflecting the shadow of me and the window on the ground. The colorful windows took on a different glow to make me a little dizzy.

After saying hello, I was ready to leave, but Reggie advised me to stay, since I was not injured, I didn't need to rush to the front line for the time being, and I didn't have to worry too much about the good situation. He also laughed at me and said that I was overthinking and cranky, and the result was different from what I expected.

Indeed, Stormwind was saved. This is different from my impression of the fall of Stormwind. And Garona didn't come to Stormwind to assassinate the king. History has really been changed......

The sudden liberation at this time left me a little at a loss, I got what I wanted, Stormwind was not destroyed, and what I wanted to save was lost. Crumpling the ring on my left index finger, I sat dumbfounded, not thinking about anything, but everything was coming to mind.

Reggie saw that I was a little dazed and consciously lay there without speaking, and now I was suddenly surrounded by a sense of loneliness. What do I have? What do I get? Is this the result I want?

I glanced at Reginald on the bed, and I could trust him, but did I really regard him as the kind of brother who was a friend of life and death, who talked about everything, who poured out his heart and lungs?

In my memory, I just knew him as a person, and then I knew him and wishfully wanted to be friends with him. Yes, he's a nice guy, he cares about me, we've fought and lived together, but I just feel like I'm almost wrong.

I leaned against the window and watched the hustle and bustle outside the window, watching the sky gradually darken, and suddenly I remembered the people in the north, I thought of Gage with no bones left, I remembered Uther, who had been willing to be near me countless times, I thought of the kind old man Alonsos Fao, I remembered Lawrence's laughter, I thought of Ralph.

Is it all wishful thinking?

I should have a friend......

I walked out of the barracks and wandered aimlessly through the dark streets, when suddenly the bell rang and I couldn't help but look up to find the source of the sound. The evening bell indicates that the day's work is over, and it is time to go home and find mom.

Slowly walked to the cathedral, where there were few people left praying, and the monks were arranging the candles on the altar. I found a darker seat and sat down until all the people in the church had dispersed.

If it weren't for Archbishop Benedictas, I would have been invited out by the monks. I remember his name, and I remember his deep eyes and emaciated face.

"You're not...... Gone? "He remembers me, too.

"I'm not done yet." I say.

His eyes were like torches, and those eyes seemed to want to see through me. He paused and said, "You're a little tired. ”

"Just drove the orcs away outside the city, this is really not easy." I say.

He shook his head, "I mean here. He pointed to his chest.

"You like to show people's faces."

"Hmph, I like it." He graciously admitted.

"As the archbishop of a country, do you know about this fetish king?"

"Kings like to judge people by their appearance."

I laughed. "It's also an advantage to look good."

"When people are young, their looks are given by their parents, and beauty and ugliness can't be the master. But the appearance after middle age is made by yourself, especially the eyes...... It's hard to deceive. He said slowly. All the state and psychological changes of man are manifested through his eyes. ”

"What about the blind?"

"Therefore, if a blind man deceives, it is difficult to be detected." He said.

"Isn't this a fool?"

"Born from the heart, different people have different phases, there are not thousands of people who come here to pray every day, but there are eight hundred, what kind of person each person who comes to pray, whether he is sincere or not, you can roughly judge by his appearance."

I stared into his eyes, but his flat eyes suddenly made me shudder.

"Do you usually like to look at people like that?"

"It's observation." He said.

"When everyone speaks, their eyes are the most betrayal of their true thoughts, such as ...... You're trying not to blink your eyes. He pointed at me, "You want your eyes not to dodge, but deliberate restraint will make the muscles around your eyes stiffen, and your eyes will become sharp." He breathed a sigh of relief, "Are you nervous?" ”

"What do I have to be nervous about?"

He smiled, "You've changed. ”

"You're just mentally attacking and brainwashing me." I pouted.

"It's not a psychological offensive, I'm just stating the facts you showed."

"What happened to me?"

"You're disappointed, you're disappointed, you're ...... Lonely. He slowly spat out the words.

There was no expression on my face, I was waiting for him to continue.

He stared intently into my eyes, and I was even a little uncomfortable to be looked at by him, and I really wanted to escape from his gaze. "What are you looking at?" I hastened to break this embarrassment with words.

"Defects are eternal, perfection is just wishes. What you think doesn't necessarily match what you see, like if you plant an apple tree and the fruit may be very sour. Will you cut it off? Or do you keep this useless tree, a sour memory? Ha...... No, you're not that kind of person, but your weakness will hurt you. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" I think my facial expressions are pretty good at this point. I'm good at covering up my thoughts with a look of doubt, suspicion, and doubt.

"It's not to be expected, but be prepared." He continued, "Prepare for the worst. His eyes narrowed as he stared at me.

My right eyelid twitched.

"When the rift exists, even if it is mended, it is only mended, it will not help, it will last forever." His face was a little stiff at this point. "It's all your fault, but you have to learn to be relieved."

I frowned and let out a sigh. "That's how you usually talk to your followers?"

He stared at me for a moment before he said slowly, "Ordinary people are only worthy of being taught by ethics and morality, their lives are like ants, and only the Holy Light can save their barren souls. ”

"You've changed more, Master Benedictas." I stood up. "Thank you so much...... Teachings. I nodded and was about to turn away, when he suddenly spoke: "Your assumptions are just assumptions, since you choose not to regret it." ”

I stopped and looked back at him, "You didn't bring back the Light and Salvation, the book wasn't, and neither did the man. He stretched out his hand to me and then to heaven, "The way of salvation is not here. ”
