Volume III Kuroshio 37 Varian's Old Times

-pestilence

-Tut...... Truly! That damn plague changed the course of events.

-I remember that in the Book of Light it was recorded that there were originally four giants in the human world, who were once god-like beings, but were contaminated by human nature due to the continuation of the race. They originally represented conquest, victory, abundance, and well-being, but then they became plague, war, famine, and death.

-Samuelson:......

- Well, you've got to read a little more, lad.

- The four giants I'm talking about are the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse that Grandma probably won't talk about.

-They were born by man and degraded by man. They tend to be ...... Ensued. There was never who was left because of who showed up.

-Samuelson:......

- As long as there are people, groups of people! They will be there, and they will be with them. War...... Then there was death, then the plague, hunger. or plague or famine...... And then came war and death.

- Death is eternal! My lieutenant. Only death is eternal. And the impact of this plague is actually unimagined by many people.

- It is true that the plague started in our refugee camp, but this plague is completely different from the previous accounts, and the scar on your face is proof of that, am I right.

- I was outside the camp with Lothar, Varian was far away in Lordaeron, and you were in the camp. You must have known better than I did how sick I was. However, this plague spread from the town of South Sea to Gilneis, and if it weren't for Lordaeron's far north and not sending many people, it is estimated that Lordaeron would have fallen into a ...... Punishment.

- I'm not mistaken, the poor living conditions of the refugees may be one of the causes of the plague, and the failure to properly arrange the refugees has led to death and the plague, this thing...... They also have certain responsibilities.

-Varian wasn't particularly sensible at the time, and he couldn't handle these things very well, especially when dealing with an old fox like Terenus. And the nobles at this time......

-Alas...... What about him! If I could join Lordaeron and become their dog, I guess some people would not hesitate to take refuge in the past, and they would already grovel and want to lick their heels.

-And our people are like useless, damned outcasts abandoned in the wilderness.

- Lothar did her best, you have to admit this. He was thinking all the time about how to fight for a better survival for the people. But that's the way it is...... He couldn't help it.

-Samuelson:......

-I know the people of the church, and Lothar wanted me to contact them, so I ran back to Lordaeron to find Uther and Master Fao.

-Master Fao is definitely the benefactor of our kingdom, and the people of the Storm Kingdom should know about this matter.

- Actually, Master Fao has met Varian several times, and he has a high opinion of our king, and this man is a benevolent man, he is well known in the kingdom of Lordaeron and even in the whole north, especially in Lordaeron he is known as Grandpa Winter.

-His prestige was so high that it was only when he intervened that King Terenus finally agreed to send some priests to his aid. At that time, the leader of the team was the commander of your regiment at that time, Tulayan.

- This guy used to be my little henchman for a while...... When I was originally in Lordaeron.

- Well, before the orcs arrived. Do you have any questions?

-Samuelson:......

- This kid died...... Somewhat...... It's a pity.

- Two of the things that pleased me the most when they came to Southsea from Lordaeron were that Tulayan had actually realized the path of the Holy Light, and he had grown from a minor monk to a powerful priest. The second is that he is very generous in helping our people to walk on the path of Light.

-Samuelson:......

- Generous, that's right. Ever since Master Alonsosfao understood the path of the Light and materialized the Light, the Art of Light was truly born. Since Uther, Master Fao has been more than willing to teach this skill to any clergyman who is willing to learn the art of Light.

-Soon after the clergy of other countries came on pilgrimage, King Terenus forbade the leakage of this secret art. And Lordaeron, who monopolized the art of holy light, undoubtedly strengthened the position of the leader of the entire north. Religion...... But it's a good way to control the people.

- But you also know the situation of the plague. Almost half of the people in the camp were infected with the disease. It was also at this time that Tulayan came with his men.

- When he arrived at the camp outside our camp, he told me that he would try, but the disease was a recurring one. The scars on your face are from the first few fevers?

-Samuelson:......

-And when the plague began to spread to the town of Southsea and the kingdom of Gilneis, the situation was basically out of control. You know the situation, it's literally ...... It didn't take long for him to fall down again.

-Later, the clergy also began to get infected, and it caused a lot of damage, right......

-If it weren't for Master Alonsos Fao's instruction to teach the clergy and the nuns who joined later, we probably wouldn't have had to explain the final outcome without the orcs coming.

- This thing King Terenus ...... It was said that he was very dissatisfied, but in the end it was like that. A large number of qualified clergy in our kingdom today are the foundations laid at that time.

- Sometimes I go to the archbishop for a chat. He wasn't in the camp at the time, and he had quietly learned the art of light from Master Fao while he was in Lordaeron. This guy is okay now...... No one can compete for the position of archbishop of the Stormwind Kingdom, and he still considers himself a high-ranking disciple of Master Fao...... Hum......

-Actually, thanks to Master Fao, he taught the art of holy light. Or...... Maybe it's hard to say what Hillsbride won.

-Samuelson:......

-I? I wanted to learn it, but I didn't have the talent for it.

-Learning the art of holy light is not like a child learning arithmetic, no matter who can learn how much one plus one equals two, of course, some theoretical knowledge of the art of holy light can be memorized by this person as long as he is not a fool, but this thing ...... Speak with someone who has studied it...... It takes some talent.

-Master Fao and Uther also wanted to enlighten me with the Light and want me to become a Templar...... I can't force it, but even if I don't know the art of light, it doesn't mean I'm worse than those paladins. I'm not bragging!

- The plague seems to have lasted for a long time...... Maybe it's more than half a year, probably so. By that time I had returned to Lordaeron, with Varian. That's it.

-Samuelson:......

- Yes, during my time in Lordaeron's King, I not only had to defend our little king, but I also had to teach him some skills, and Varian's mentor, Master Andrew, died a heroic death during the fall of Stormwind. And after this lion cub arrived in Lordaeron, he was thinking about revenge all the time. It's just that he couldn't play politics at that time, and he was more interested in fighting and assassinating at that time.

-He has told me more than once that he is going to lead the Storm Soldiers back to their homeland, exterminate the orcs and rebuild their homeland.

-Samuelson:......

-At that time, of course, I also told him about the fall of Stormwind, but every time he heard it, he would be furious, adolescent children are prone to such mood swings, I understand him, not to mention seeing his father die in front of him, seeing his kingdom fall with his own eyes, maybe this is a knot in his heart that can never be untied.

- It's just me...... Perhaps because of his upbringing, I still can't understand his obsession with his mother's death. I tried to explain it to him once, but he chose to interrupt me and go into more aggressive training.

- Sometimes I see him training desperately and I can't bear it. He was a king and did not need to lead a charge, and would never let him charge most of the time, but he was always preparing, and it seemed that he never thought of himself as a king, but as an ordinary soldier. A soldier who knows that if he doesn't train rigorously, he can die in battle at any time.

- Prince of Alsace.

- Have you seen him?

-He's fought Varian before, and that's pretty interesting. Ha......

-Prince Arthas has a very strong self-esteem, he also lives in the King's Castle, he often sees Varian crawling around on the training ground, sometimes we train him to stand from a distance, but when Varian looks at him, he always raises his head and turns his face and leaves.

- I can't see Alsace training during the day, but I've seen Uther open a small stove for him at night. Terenus had a muted response to this, as Arthas's sister had told me.

-His sister was a gentle little girl, and although she wasn't so stunning, I remember her little nose and chin like a doll.

-Belch...... Princess Kalia happened to be seen in the courtyard when Varian was learning equestrianism, and she told me about it as we talked. Arthas wouldn't let her tell anyone. Ha......

-Princess Kalia is a lady, she is only two years older than Arthas, and after we got acquainted, she often watched Varian train, and I thought she might marry Varian...... Hum......

-Samuelson:......

- Don't ask the king about these things, although this kind of thing is not a big deal, but the king will never admit it.

-Samuelson:......

-Varian...... Mature later, at that time he had a tiger in his heart, but he only had a tiger in his heart, to be honest, his elegance and romance were just polite and needed, just like saying thank you. Of course he is polite, but this is not who he really is.

-I guess it's because of the late development, maybe it's because of the fright...... For a while he grew very slowly, and now he was as big as a lion, and for a long time he barely grew taller, and at one point he was even surpassed by Alsace, who was several years younger than him...... Ha.

-He just doesn't feel good about Princess Kalia, but the princess seems to be pregnant early, and there aren't many such little boys in the palace. Hum...... The way she sat on the swing under the tree and looked at Varian made me a little envious.

-Samuelson:......

-Envy...... Of course envy. Scold...... Do you have a wife?

-Samuelson:......

-Ha...... It has always been a man chasing a woman, but in fact, he can be liked by a woman, even if it is a crush. It's a thing that you can be proud of, if she has ever confessed that you can't sleep well...... No matter what happens in the end, it's enough for you to blow for a lifetime.

-Samuelson:......

- Do you have a goal now? Whose girl is it?

-Samuelson:......

-Hum...... Very good...... Sir Mel Seljek of Rose Manor is said to be a very good old man. I haven't heard of his daughter...... But as long as you can like it, it's the best.

- Where are you two at this point?

-Yes...... Right...... I was a little confused just now...... Rose Manor is in Lordaeron...... Hum...... Forget it. The beauty of distance......

- But often just make you sad and poignant, fooling yourself.

-Belch...... How did you know her?

-Samuelson:......

-Right...... That's when you joined the army! Yes...... That's right, that jousting ...... That's what I didn't finish.

- That match of Arthas made his father very unhappy, and it was the first time I saw Terenus's face that long......
