Volume 4 Reign of Chaos 4 Ice and Snow

-Wake up...... Hey......

Is it dawn?

- It's not too early...... Last night we agreed that we were going to the coast this morning.

Is it dawn?

- It's coming.

No one has ever dared to disturb my sleep before this morning, boy, do you know how much sleep weighs for the elderly?

-You don't look like an old man, get up...... Wait a little longer for the sky to get bright. The early worms are eaten by the birds, that's what you said.

I didn't say that we don't need to eat any birds...... Damn it...... It was still dark. Unlucky, are you ready to wait?

- What preparation?

Disappointed.

-What do you mean?

Life is full of surprises, and life is full of fright. Looks like you're missing this lesson. Let's go, boy, and see if it's a surprise or a scare.

You're wearing such clothes?

It seems that there is still a lack of life to beat you. Not only do you have to face disappointment, you also have to face death.

-Yes!

- What temperature is this!

Didn't anyone mention it to you when you were about to come here? Or is it Theramore's warm tits that make you forget where you're going?

- It's too cold!

Let's go......

Let's go!

-I'm sorry...... Uh, do you have thicker clothes?

I'm sorry? Oh, what do you have to be sorry for?

- Can you lend me two pieces of clothing?

Of course not.

-I......

I don't have any extra clothes, boy.

- You just don't want to take me!

Ha, are you provoking me? I could have rejected you directly, and I couldn't have wasted time with you and let you disturb my sleep.

- Thank you so much for saving my life...... But I really need to go see my companions.

So now let's hit the road, and I'll take you to see your broken companions and incomplete lovers.

-I...... A piece of clothing is required.

As a dignified magician, don't you have a spell to keep yourself warm? Those who believe in the path of light can at least allow themselves to survive in a bad environment for a little longer, don't you even have the most basic survival skills?

- But it's too cold outside. How much energy is there to withstand this cold?

Hum...... You know it's cold, too...... Do you now know how great the warriors who went to Northrend were back then?

-Yes...... Belch...... Please!

Okay, but I really don't have any clothes here. But I can get you some skins so you don't freeze to death.

How long will that little bit of magical energy last yours?

- One hour ......

Then you'd better be prepared for three hours.

-Yes?

This is Northrend.

Keep up, boy, clench your arms and neck, shut your mouth, you see...... Henry was over there.

Hi! Henry!

Ha, he saw you! Hurry up, boy, he doesn't know you at all, he's going to eat your brains!

Come on!

-That...... Some...... The Walking Dead...... Why not...... Will it freeze?

-They...... Don't...... No...... Shouldn't...... Like a frozen ...... Meat is the same...... Is it stiff?

Resurrecting them with power will make them immune to the cold, which is at least twice as cold in Icecrown! But in that place they still don't freeze.

They will freeze...... Like your snot right now.

Ordinary bows and arrows, ordinary swords are no different from tickling for them. In that place, the sword is as crisp as potato chips. Only magic and absolute power can shake them, destroy them.

Do you want to have the same hardiness as him?

-No...... I don't...... Think!

Why?

- I know ...... Know you...... Think...... What do you say...... Yes.

What do I want to say?

-You...... I want to say...... Just change ...... into his ...... Shape...... Only...... Own him...... This hardiness ...... Competence, right?

Ha! You've suddenly become smarter.

- You bring ...... I'll go...... Which?

Go get some clothes.

-Go...... Which?

Shut your mouth and save some effort, okay? Not talking may allow you to live a little longer. Hum......

You don't need to warm others, just keep yourself from freezing to death, your poor magical energy...... It seems to be frozen as well...... We've got a long way to go.

-Still...... Far away...... Is it?

Far away.

- Can we ...... ...... Finish...... Is it?

If you don't, you'll freeze to death.

-We...... Can...... Can be ...... Build a fire and let me ...... I gasped...... Tone.

You won't feel warm by lighting a fire in this kind of place, it will only delay time. And starting a fire might invite something you don't want to see.

-Miscellaneous...... Is it?

Bugger.

-That...... What is it...... Is it?

will eat you until you are only a skeleton of bugs.

- Can I ...... Definitely feel ...... There is a ...... Dot...... I can't hold it anymore...... Can you tell ...... sue me for ...... How ...... How far?

It seems that last night I said that you can hold on for three days, which is really high for you. Shut your mouth, swallow that little heat in your body, and use your nose to ...... Your snot is frozen...... Shut your mouth, shut your mouth, and your teeth can be pulverized at the moment.

- But I'm really ...... The cold ......

I know.

Almost there...... Hey...... Your lips are purple like a dead man.

I'm sure you'll be dead when you feel sleepy, or if you feel a white light or even warmth in front of you.

Hold on a little longer, boy. See that castle? Here we are, open your eyes! Hey!

Tut...... It looks like it's dying......

You guy...... In the future, you may be grateful for what you have experienced today. Definitely......

You can't die, open your eyes.

Hey...... Don't sleep......

-Yes...... I still...... Alive?

You're awake again.

Congratulations, Master Avenson, you're still alive.

- I'm not dreaming.

If you want, you can think so.

-I'm here...... Which?

A safe place.

-I felt like I had a dream...... A nightmare.

Ah, it's good if someone is like you, it's like a dream, waking up...... Things are in the past. Ha......

-This is...... Where? How can there be a castle in this?

Drink the water and your lips are cracked......

Don't lick ...... Hey...... The more you are not allowed to do anything, the more you have to do.

-Thank you.

Thank yourself, I just dragged you three or four hundred meters. The front is all on your own, but fortunately, you didn't freeze to death.

- If you hadn't dragged me over, I would have frozen to death. Thank you anyway.

I didn't bother much, you're as light as a goose. I can grab you with one hand. How many pounds do you have?

- Seventy kilograms...... Probably.

Hum...... In this kind of place, you will freeze to death at this weight, you need fat, fat and strong, like those Karouac people, you can live bare-chested even in such a place, and even jump into the suffocating sea.

-Yes?

The chances of going to see your lover today are zero, so we'll have to spend the night.

- What time is it? How long did I sleep?

Is it a coma...... He was in a coma for most of the day. It's almost dusk now.

- Can we still get back to your hut?

No...... I don't go out at night unless there are special circumstances.

- Dangerous?

is quite dangerous.

- The Walking Dead?

There are other gadgets like wolves, bears, ghosts...... Or something.

- How can this be done here?

This is a wild place, and it is dangerous for anyone to survive in such a place.

- You just ...... Pretty good.

You're complimenting me, aren't you? Ha...... Pretty good...... You're trying to say I'm dangerous, aren't you? I'm dangerous......

- What kind of castle is this? How can there be a castle here?

At that time, the Northrend expeditionary force was really numerous, and of course there were explorers and some speculators who were not afraid of death. It is natural to have a castle.

- After the battle, you will leave, evacuate...... Who would want to be in a place like that? Also build castles?

Gee...... This battle was not fought for a day or two, in fact, there were people who had already come here a long, long time ago, before the Alliance troops came here.

- And such people?

Here...... Do you know?

- Whose clothes is this? Where did you get the clothes?

Those guys' ......

- Those dead bodies...... You...... This is the clothes of the dead?

You're almost like them, what are you wearing without this? Hey...... You're picking it up...... Now is not the time to freeze to death!

-No...... I...... No...... It's kind of ......

What?

- Not very respectful of them......

They're all dead, they don't need these things, and besides, they don't feel warm in their clothes, you need them more than they do.

And...... This group of people...... You don't need to respect them.

-How?

Don't you recognize the emblems on your clothes?

-No...... I don't know ......

You're such an idiot, and you're a magician......

-I...... I've never seen it, I've never seen it......

Hum...... So this group of guys is gone...... Ha...... That's nice...... It's all right......

-Who are they?

They have a nice name, and they were once the embodiment of justice, the embodiment of light...... They are called - Scarlet Crusaders!

-I...... Heard of the name.

It's a name you've heard.

- These people do not appear in my hometown, they exist only in some stories. I am...... I know these people from the story.

Where are you from?

-I was born in Stormwind, and I am a native of Stormwind.

Hum...... Are your mom and dad from Stormwind too?

-No...... No.

What is the story about them?

- They are...... A group of ...... with strong beliefs Zealot. Crazy...... Followers of the Light.

-They hate the scourge of the dead, are passionate about destroying them, and are committed to spreading light and justice on earth.

Who wrote this story?

-I don't know...... That's what I heard anyway.

What kind of people do you think they are? Good guy or bad guy?

-Belch...... It must be a good bunch of people.

Should...... What do you think?

-Didn't they fight against the scourge of the undead?

They also fought against humans, elves, dwarves, blue-skinned guys with turbans on their heads. They all killed, including the tribes, of course...... Beast.

Come, show you around here......

See...... This one......

- The woman...... Well......

What do you think?

-Very...... Beauty......

Beautiful? Do you think this woman is beautiful? What attracted her the most?

-Feel...... Her eyes ...... It's very charming, but the face is full of heroism.

What else?

-It is...... Well...... Who is she?

Real people are actually not so good-looking, this is retouched by the artist.

Hum...... The woman's name was Bridget Abydis.
