Volume IV The Rule of Chaos 57 The Ominous
"I don't care if there are any spies around the king, I just want to know what happened to me." I say.
He snorted contemptuously, "When I see your corpse...... No, it can't be called a corpse, I was surprised or utterly shocked. His voice grew serious.
"You know what? Mason, I thought you were dead. He said, "I'm not surprised to see your body, but I don't care if you die or not, huh...... Does that make you feel sad? Hum...... But what surprised me the most was that you didn't die! ”
"You didn't die when you were burned like that!"
I stared into his wide eyes, and his exaggerated voice and expression made me feel uncomfortable. "Just like you are now." I say.
"I remember you weren't a paladin at all." He said.
"How?"
"And how did you survive?"
"I don't know."
"Do you not know or don't want to say?" He asked.
"I really don't know." I say. "Why do you ask?" I stared at him, "Are you trying to say that the reason I survived was because I had the power of Light like you?" ”
His face twitched.
"But I remember...... You don't seem to be a paladin either. ”
"Humph!" He snorted disapprietously. "You don't know me at all!"
"Yes, I don't know you, so you survived because...... What? ”
"Isn't it true that the paladin can't have the power of the Holy Light hidden in his heart? Are they all as shameless as you? He retorted.
"So the reason you survived was the power of the Light! Tut...... "I smacked my tongue.
"Are you despising me?" He seemed to be angry.
"Don't dare, my lord. I'm just curious...... Maybe I have the power of Light in me. ”
"A despicable villain like you, a shameless coward, deserves to say that he too can have the power of the Light!" He squinted at me with disdain.
"Just now you said that people who are not paladins can ......"
Before I could finish speaking, I was interrupted by Berval. "How do you prove it?"
"I ......"
"You and I were burned by the flames, but after you peeled off a layer of skin, it turned smooth and slippery, and even the disgusting scars on your face were gone, you must have used some other method, right?"
"I don't know." Again, I stressed, "I think you're lying to me, but since you've found me, aren't you the ones who have become like this?" ”
"If you had become like this in Stormwind, you would still be at the bottom of Stormwind prison." He said. "Or your head has moved, just like your brother."
My face sank instantly.
"Humph! When I met you, you weren't in the King's Fortress, but in the Mage's Tower in the Mage's Garden. At that time, you were all carbonized, and you were even better than I am now. But...... Your heart is still beating, you're ...... And breathing! ”
"And then?"
"And then? Scold...... And then there's the fact that you're treated like a monster. ”
"I was burned like this by Katrana, don't you doubt it?"
"Doubt? Why be skeptical? But you were found in the ruins of her house, what do we suspect of her? Harbouring you? Or is it covering you up? ”
"yes, shouldn't that be the case?"
"Should? No, Katrana has ample evidence that it wasn't her who shielded you but you who broke into her home. ”
"What evidence?"
"Do you think MI7 people are all waste who just eat and drink?"
"Seven?"
"The news was reported when you arrived in Stormwind."
"Then why didn't you arrest me?"
"I want to see what you're going to do next." He said.
"Then the king knows the news that I entered Katrana's house?"
"Of course I do."
"That'...... Does Katrana know that the king can spy on her? ”
Bolval groaned, "I don't know. ”
"At least...... King...... There is reason to suspect Katrana. ”
"Hmph...... Are you really confused or pretending to be confused? Bowall's eyes were full of disdain.
"I'm ...... Don't understand. ”
"The king believed in her, and always has been."
"Why?"
"No why." Boval did not explain.
"Shouldn't we doubt that she's all right when the fire burns like that?"
"If it weren't for the incident at her east window, no one would suspect her now." Bowall said.
I gritted my teeth, "What did you do to me?" ”
"I've only seen you a few times, and you've been burned to charcoal and soaked in ...... Special potions. He shook his fingers, "You haven't woken up, but you're still breathing, your heart is still beating, it's just ...... Your body is not like mine. ”
He stretched out his palm, and Berval's palms were black but shiny, and there were tiny cracks in his skin, and those cracks emitted a faint red glow, like the magma of a volcanic crater.
"You're completely scorched, but I'm ...... But gained power! He clenched his fists hard.
"I'm soaked in water?"
"Stuff you into that vat, you're like a hydroponic plant." He laughed.
"How long has it been soaking?"
"I don't remember a lot, but it's a long time. The wizards of Stormwind are completely helpless and helpless against you, which makes Varian angry until the mages of Dalaran come to see your thing. ”
I frowned, "Even alarmed Kenrito?" ”
"Hmm...... I can't remember the name, Kenrito, yes, that's the name. They sent a dozen men, two or three groups. ”
"What are they coming for?"
"Varian means to let you live first, he doesn't want you to die." Bolval snorted, "Maybe I don't want you to die so easily." ”
"I know what he's thinking, there must be countless things in your mouth that are still hidden." Bolval laughed and made me uncomfortable.
I breathed a sigh of relief. "What do you think...... It's not okay. ”
"Hmph, who do you think you are? His iron guard, the relationship with him is enough? You underestimate him, he's the king, the seed of the Ureon. ”
"I don't believe he doubts me." I say.
"Maybe it has been before, but after your identity is revealed, he can't trust you, and the more you do, the more he will doubt your motives." "There is a lot of work, and a lot of mistakes," Boval said. ”
"Especially when you find out so many good things you've done...... Hum...... You are fortunate not to have experienced a purge campaign in Stormwind City that followed, and if you were in Stormwind City, your fate would have been miserable, and then you would not have died several times. ”
"What do you mean?"
"Your brother's last ...... Uh, and you, Mason. Your accounts are all on your brother's head, and you are a family that has done the same thing, and it is no problem to count it on your brother's head. "But as your brother's behavior becomes more and more outrageous, he wants to kill the king and usurp the throne...... That's a lot of people involved. ”
"You talk nonsense! Edwin wouldn't have thought that way. ”
"Is it necessary for me to lie like you? Your brother doesn't have that kind of thought, but someone does, and even if he doesn't, he needs to do it in order to survive. Bolwal said.
"Tell me straight!"
"The head of the gold lord behind you is probably still preserved in the historical archives of Stormwind Fortress!" Bolvar snorted, "You know who I'm talking about. ”
"Where's Deria?"
"Ah, I heard you had a leg with her?"
"Where's she?"
She ...... Also dead. ”
"How did she die?" I asked.
"I don't know, maybe it's suicide." "She'...... It is not painful to die. ”
"You're not her, how do you know!"
"You...... It's distressing. He stared at me and said, "Although her face is still peerless, she is no longer young, and I have seen her body, it is not hideous, it is very peaceful." ”
I pursed my lips and gritted my teeth, "What did you do with me after that?" ”
"They studied you, cast spells on you, and applied potions and oils to you. But you never woke up. Bowval pouted, "Seeing that you woke up hopeless, Varian asked the mages to read your memories. ”
I frowned when I heard that. "Did you find anything?"
"You're worried...... Right? He laughed, "There's a lot you're still hiding from Varian. ”
"And what do you know?"
"Hmph...... You're nervous, aren't you? ”
"Don't be funny, okay? The group of mages...... What was found? ”
Bolvar stared into my eyes, "I've always believed that you are an outcast of the Light, and I've always believed that you have nothing to do with the Light being what you are today. ”
"Don't sell it!"
"Hmph...... I don't know what I found, maybe I did, but that was later. The two mages who first spied on your mind died violently. ”
"Ahh
"Huh...... It's ridiculous that you just pretended to be surprised. He smiled contemptuously, "There's another one you've completely driven you crazy." ”
"I don't know any of that."
"Hmph...... The first group of people still can't do anything to you, but in the end Dalaran has another group of guys, and then ...... You're disposed of. ”
"What do you mean I'm being disposed of?"
"Archbishop Benedictas has also tried a lot on you, but he has also failed."
"And then?"
"You're thrown into the ocean!"
"Why?"
"It was a strange proposal, and although the king did not immediately agree to it when he heard it, he agreed after a moment of silence."
"Why? What is the rationale? ”
"One of the mages of Dalaran said that you are a hoodoo and that it is best to bring you back to Dalaran to continue your research. But...... "Burn Vard paused," and his proposal was immediately opposed. ”
"Uh......"
"There's a mage who says you have to be disposed of, and that brushing your ashes won't bring you back to Dalaran."
"What's this man's name?"
"Gacoyne, I remember his name, especially his big head and his stern, stereotyped face, but the guy then said that you can also be banned under the Mage Tower, and you can continue in the future...... Study. ”
"What about the mage who is going to take me back to Dalaran?"
"Evolan, Ollie Evolan."
"Nobody." I say.
"Benedictas has also agreed to send you to Dalaran."
"Why?"
"A living dead like you will bring disaster to the Stormwind Kingdom!"
"Varian agreed because of his opinion?"
"Yes." He nodded.
"Then why did it end up being thrown into the sea?"
"Can you believe it? They said it was a pure accident! Bowel said mysteriously.
