Volume 3 Kuroshio 31 Ascending to the sky
- There are a few things in this world that are the hardest, the most hurtful, the most frustrating, you know what they are?
-Samuelson:......
-Heaven.
-Samuelson:......
- That is, fly. Can you fly?
-Samuelson:......
- Hmph, this is not a joke, there is more difficult than flying.
-Samuelson:......
- Ask someone to do something.
- Especially because of money to beg for errands.
- Am I right?
- Hmph, words that smell of copper...... But sometimes money is really the best and fastest way to solve many problems between people.
- While money is not everything, wealth can solve most of the world's problems.
- For you and me, and even for this country, to put it bluntly, money is everything, do you agree?
-Samuelson:......
- What kind of way do you think the affection between people can be measured?
-Samuelson:......
- I'm talking about business.
-Samuelson:......
- Favors...... The first is what kind of person is right, and then what kind of thing. Human affection can be as big as the sky or as thin as paper. The ice in spring is thin, but human affection can often be thinner.
-Samuelson:......
- Why am I saying this? Hehe...... dragged on for a whole year......
-A year...... Lordaeron gathered all the kingdoms together to discuss strategies against the enemy.
-Tut...... This sentence is actually not very appropriate, it is not a strategy to defend against the enemy, it is how to deal with us.
-No...... It wasn't Lordaeron who facilitated it, it was Anduin Lothar.
- Of course, he couldn't have hoped that the nations would have sent us away like that, but that's how it was at the time.
- To be honest, I feel sorry for him.
- It's a bit serious to say that he has lost his dignity, but even the people who lost the territory of the country and completely fell their homeland are really ...... in front of them
-Alas...... If that person were you, how do you think you would feel?
-Samuelson:......
- Aren't you going to listen to what's going on? That's what happened, and no one in the Stormwind Kingdom knew about these things except me and him, and Varian wouldn't know about it.
-Our king did go through hardships, but he didn't experience real humiliation, and I don't blame him, who wouldn't want to be lucky enough to have someone who could stand up to everything and let himself be protected by others?
- At that time I could have told myself that I was only here to help you, it didn't matter much to me, I could feel sorry for him, yes, I could comfort myself so much, but he couldn't.
- I don't think you can either.
-Lieutenant of the Iron Horse Brotherhood of the Stormwind Kingdom, the pride of a soldier of the kingdom, the face of the national army, a competent iron-blooded soldier, can you tell me, do you feel the helplessness in his heart?
-Hum...... I want you to tell the person who wrote the book, and the person who wrote the story, so that people remember what he did.
-Samuelson:......
-He...... He kept ...... Pleas, keep saying good things about the nobles of the North, he used to be a very proud man, you should know him, right.
-Samuelson:......
- He doesn't smile. Anyway, I rarely see him laugh. But with him went to Gilneth, to Alterac...... Went to ...... Riptide City, and Dalaran.
-That smile is so uncomfortable for me to look at.
-Samuelson:......
- We first went to find Terenus, I naively thought that we were all like this, they should be surprised, surprised, shocked, and then reacted quickly, and then everyone shouted: "We support you!" "Then everyone sent troops to help us restore the country.
- Like I said earlier, no. The folds on King Terenus's withered face crumpled tightly and uncomfortably. He asked us about it...... Ah, I didn't go with him for this meeting, I hadn't arrived at Lordaeron at that time, that's what he told me.
-King Terenus only asked about the casualties, and asked about the orcs, but in general...... I think he'd forgotten that I was in jail a few years ago for prophecy, and maybe he didn't even know it. Or ...... What if he knew? I don't think he'll admit anything or feel upset, but if that does, I'm even more worried.
-Lothar told me that he was already feeling disappointed at this point, that he felt that King Terenus was not interested in what was going to happen to us, and that he had summoned him out of political considerations.
- Do you understand?
-Status is fought out and earned by oneself. When the lion of Azeroth becomes a dog...... Hum...... But you can't see that.
-The lion will bow his head, but he will only look down to see the road.
-Samuelson:......
- Do you still need to say this? I had thought of everything I could think of, but what was the use? Friend...... Yes, Uther and Master Fao are very good people, and they are really the best friends in this world.
- If you're going to write a history book, be sure to write about the exploits of both of them.
- Like here!
-I told the two of them about what happened to them in the Stormwind Kingdom, and then they approached King Terenus, who did their best to speak for us, but to no avail.
-Samuelson:......
-Of course I'm sure he's really helping me and not fooling! I'm with Uther...... It was because of the Light that I became acquainted, and he believed in me, and I believed in him even more. Uther was an apprentice of Master Fao, who helped me more than once when I was in Lordaeron. There is no element of doubt in this, and the two of them will do their best to speak for me, and there is no need to doubt.
-But it didn't turn out to be useful, and they both told me that Terenus didn't take a stand. Of course, after the two of them approached the king, the treatment was indeed better from a humanitarian point of view, but the request for military reinforcements such a thing as Terenus said that it needed to be investigated. Most people don't really care about it when there isn't enough evidence that orcs are harmful, or when the fire has burned to their butts.
-Samuelson:......
- Who knows. The king, he is the king. We can only guess what he was thinking. And that incident of mine was unpleasant at the time, Lieutenant. I was expelled from Lordaeron. He was expelled because he was warned of the calamities to come. I...... The tribulation seen in the prophecy is what happened later.
-Samuelson:......
-Prophecy, a witch I once met showed me the future, and the future is dark, with nothing but death and disaster. And the origin of the catastrophe was when the Kingdom of Stormwind was infested by an evil race.
-At that time, I was still in Lordaeron, and I heard that there was a lord in the Kingdom of Stormwind, and I told many people about it, and many nobles knew about it, even Varian. When that guy brought news of the Stormwind Kingdom, I guessed that the future should have come.
- But no one believed what I said at the time, huh...... This kind of statement is hard for anyone to believe.
- Lieutenant, I tell you now that in the future the North will fall into a death spiral, a full-scale war, and the kingdom of humanity will completely collapse, will you believe it?
-Samuelson:......
-You believe in a ghost, you believe in it.
-In order to verify the truth of the prophecy, I decided to spy on that guy, and I was even ready to take him out and torture him. But I missed, he wounded me, he actually knew magic! I've never been in contact with someone so powerful. When I woke up I was in a cell and I was ...... Banished.
-Samuelson:......
- Spell, I thought he was Dalaran's man. But then I commissioned Khadgar to investigate, but there was no clue, he used to tell me that the magic would leave traces when it was released, and I don't know if it was because of the time that Khadgar found nothing in the place where we clashed. That guy just disappeared, in fact, before this guy appeared, the Storm Kingdom had sent a message for help, but it was disturbed by this guy. There were no troops sent from the north...... Hmph, I don't think the north would be able to send troops even without that man. It's not that I'm underestimating us or saying something cool......
-Belch...... I'm talking about it.
-Lothar's request was not answered by Terenus, which, in Terenus's words, was a long-term consideration.
- What do you mean by thinking in the long term? It's not just about pinching us, Terrenus is really ...... He had other ideas. Later I realized why, and it was only after we went to Alterac that we found out.
-The place where you landed is not the land of Lordaeron, the landing site of Southsea Town is the territory of the Kingdom of Alterac, and it is a tax land. So Lordaeron is not in a hurry, it should be the Pyranord of the Alterac Kingdom that should be in a hurry.
Terenus doesn't say help, he doesn't say no help, he keeps emphasizing the difficulties, and at this time there is nothing left in the Stormwind Kingdom in exchange, and all verbal promises have no meaning at this time. Can you understand?
-Samuelson:......
- At that time, Lothar negotiated with them about the terms of sending troops to help......
-Samuelson:......
- The condition is ...... Financial Compensation.
-Samuelson:......
- Three million gold coins.
-Samuelson:......
- I know a lot, but this money can buy back your country, are you willing?
-Samuelson:......
- You hesitated......
-Samuelson:......
-You really don't have this concept, you used to live in a wealthy family and didn't suffer much from life. How are you doing in the camp? Have you ever been a slave?
-Samuelson:......
-What do you mean? If you are now deprived of everything you have and you become a pauper, will you be able to bear it?
-Samuelson:......
- But someone can't stand it. Although they had been complaining about the amount of compensation, they had agreed to it in Lordaeron. Now it's biting back...... I have heard some of them talk about the reparations that Lothar had promised at that time.
-The person who does things without blushing and feeling that he is righteous and fair, and the person who is good for others should have his tongue cut off and roasted before letting him eat it.
-Samuelson:......
- Do you agree?
- That's the case, now you understand?
-Samuelson:......
-King Terenus claims to meet with King Alterac to find a proper solution, but ...... The meeting was delayed again and again, and it was not a coincidence.
-In the end, King Terenus couldn't drag it anymore and sent us away...... Gilneth.
-Samuelson:......
- But Lothar did not agree, he had his own idea. So we went straight to Alterac.
-Belch......
-You......
- With Ms. Katrana...... Is it cooked?
