Volume 5 Return of the King 113 Maghasa Totem of Terror
Although this so-called archmage doesn't have much weight in my heart, I like the fact that he likes it here, and I like the feeling of having my opinion recognized.
Anak was walking to my left, my right hand holding her hand tightly, and although the view was good, she still felt nervous in the crowd of minotaurs who were watching us curiously, and she was clenching my hand tightly.
The eyes of the minotaurs were generally not very large, but the herd of beasts, or in our human mind, it was livestock or something like that, and now they not only stood up, but they were also clothed, armoured, and decorated, and built houses and held in their hands tools that animals could not have made.
Last night was because it was late, and the cows had all retreated after showing their faces a few times, but now even I felt a little uncomfortable at this time. This feeling of being watched is not good at all. It's different from walking on the streets of human society, whether it's receiving praise and welcome or being scolded for thousands of years, I feel more awkward in front of this group of guys than I did when I dealt with trolls.
They were curious, I thought they wouldn't be like humans, but they were no different from humans, pointing at us, talking to each other, whispering.
We became the scenery on the Thunder Bluff, most of the words I didn't understand, in Ratchet City they all spoke the lingua franca, which was orc language, orc language was not a problem for me to speak, but I was now dealing with a completely unfamiliar Minotaur language. Their moo moo is only a tone, which makes me have to guess what they are saying, but what they will say, you can tell what they are talking about us by looking at their eyes.
From the bottom of Thunder Cliff, it looked really big, but after walking down the street, I suddenly realized that it didn't seem to be that big, and we crossed a district to the edge of a rattan suspension bridge, and another high platform was at the other end of the suspension bridge.
When they rode the elevator, they only felt the shock of getting higher and higher, but now when they walked on the rickety suspension bridge, they were really scared. Arnack was at the front, I followed closely behind holding Bill's hand, and they looked like they were eager to get on the ground.
This suspension bridge is actually quite wide, three meters wide, but the suspension bridge will shake with the wind when it is blown by the wind at such a high place, even if it is gently shaken, it feels like it is going to shake, and the handrail of the suspension bridge is still quite high, but it is useless, when the hand holds the guardrail handrail, it is a high and a little dizzy in the air.
It was already great courage for them not to climb on the suspension bridge.
Anak turned back to us and smiled as he walked across the drawbridge, and I knew what that smile meant.
"How tall is that?" I asked him.
"At least a hundred as tall as me." He gestured to himself. "Probably more than that." As he spoke, he waved his hand, "The Great Witch is waiting for you below, come quickly." β
I was a little confused when he said this, what do you mean down there...... And when he led me from a very narrow cliff to a cave beneath the platform, I convinced them.
The suspension bridge above is wide and insecure, and the road is so narrow that I feel like I could stumble and fall down at any moment, and I don't know if there is something wrong with this big witch, it has to be in this kind of place, and we don't know if it is deliberately pretending to show others or if there is really something good here.
The entrance to the cave was not large, but as soon as you walked to the entrance, you could feel the cold air coming from inside. To be honest, there is a huge difference between the warmth on the outside and the cold on the inside.
The hot air coming out of Anak's nostrils as he walked ahead showed how cold it was here. He looked back at us, and when he saw me, he had a strange look on his face.
The cave is not dim, there is no torch here, there is no brazier, the ice on the wall is emitting a faint blue light, and after walking in for a while, there is really a cave here, there is a pool of water in it, and there is a bright light under the pool from under the water, and this light reflects back on the cave wall to make this light feel very soft.
There was no sound of dripping water in the cave, but there seemed to be the sound of the wind or a whisper that seemed to be there. There was an altar at the edge of the pool, and in the middle of it stood a figure who was lighting a bunch of hay or something, and a light smoke wafted through the silent space.
As we approached the altar, she turned to look at us, and I was surprised by the way she looked, Anak said she was a great witch, but the one in front of her looked very young.
I looked at her face, and I believe everyone was looking at her, but she stared at me alone, but I could not see much more in her eyes, there was no indifference, no scrutiny, no doubt, no surprise, not even worry, no hostility!
That's what they look at me, just that's what they look at me. But I was a little ...... by such a gaze Hairy.
I don't think she's very talented for her age, even if she's a genius, I've seen geniuses. I felt that she looked at me like an old man looking at a child, and she could see through it at a glance.
I made eye contact with her.
There is nothing embarrassing or embarrassing at this time! Just one point, you must not take your eyes off.
Finally she spoke, "So the person I've been waiting for is you. β
I was a little confused when I said this, but suddenly I realized if it was a new routine. So I frowned slightly, "Then am I coming early or late?" β
The way she looked at me didn't change at all, and she was silent, "Just right." β
I laughed, "But I don't think you're surprised to see me." β
"I'm already acting surprised." The cow was all black, and the black was very uniform. I could see her face, but I didn't really see the slightest hint of surprise on her face.
"Your surprise is the most subtle I've ever seen." I say.
"You're the most daring I've ever seen." She said.
"Yes, thank you for the compliment."
"Didn't you think about the consequences of coming here?"
"All I know is that when I see your people in the far east and here in Ratchet City, I feel like you're the one I'm looking for."
"Then you're looking for us...... What do you want to do? β
"The world is changing dramatically, the future is already full of great uncertainty, and a crisis is coming." I looked into her eyes and tried to see a change, but her gaze remained unchanged, "You were lucky to win the last time the Burning Legion invaded, but this time it wasn't, their minions are back. β
I suddenly felt that there was something wrong with my expression, and she listened to my words, and her face was still sinking like water, without any waves.
"The last time you were in Mount Hyjal, if it wasn't for the elves who gathered hundreds of thousands of elven souls to blow up Akmund, now you have all been exterminated." I say.
She still didn't speak.
I suddenly felt that I had fallen into her realm, and what I said could not arouse her desire to talk to me.
"And on behalf of all those who have been enslaved by the Burning Legion, I have come to ask for help."
She was still looking at me, but now her gaze was much looser than it had felt before, and I could feel the energy she was releasing had changed, very slightly, but I could feel it.
Finally she blinked, "Give me a reason to help you." β
"After we are destroyed, you will also disappear from this world as quickly as possible." I say.
"Humph!" She snorted softly, slightly but full of disdain. "Are you destroyed? I don't even know who you are. β
"Didn't you say you've been waiting for me for a long time?" I asked rhetorically, "Then you must have known about the news I brought a long time ago." β
The expression on her face finally changed, and she smiled slightly. "You're a disaster man." After that, her smiling face gradually became serious, revealing a hint of hideousness. "The Man of Calamity...... Brought ...... Disaster! β
I frowned, shook my head and shook my head gently, "I didn't bring the disaster, I'm just a whistleblower, I ...... Brought the news of the disaster, but also ...... Brought the ...... of survival Wish! β
Her slightly hideous face gradually regained its calm, and now her gaze on me was no longer the same as it had just been, and I felt that she was melting.
"Our living conditions are in a way...... It also determines your future. "I continue to infiltrate.
"I saw you in the last war." She said. "I didn't expect you to still exist."
"Last time...... You mean the Burning Legion invasion a few years ago...... Right? β
"Yes, listen to you...... You also participated, right? β
I nodded.
"But you...... It's not like them. She said.
"How is it different?"
"It's not just you...... And also...... They. The Great Witch pointed to the man behind me.
I was wondering if she might say something again, but after thinking about it, it seemed like it would be better to see what she said!
"Why don't you go looking for ...... Orcs? She asked.
"There were some misunderstandings and ...... between us Holidays. I said, "As you know, in the last war, our main enemies were orcs. β
She smiled, "You're smart. She paused and said, "Very good at speculation." β
"If it was the prophecy that was predestined, I think I must have come here because Mother Earth was in charge of all this."
At this point, the smile on her face was obviously much kinder. "I've heard a little about the conflict between you and the orcs, but I don't know much about it yet."
"This looking ......," I pointed to myself, "orcs don't like it very much, orcs are not creatures of this world, they came from another time and space, and they came here in the first place to conquer, to conquer us. β
"But unfortunately, they failed. After being defeated by us, for some reason he ran away and fled here. I said, "I heard that they have learned to be good and helpful since they came here." I looked at her: "You guys...... And those trolls have been blessed by them, haven't they? β
She smiled in acquiescence.
"And the last war, we went to war again, this was not our intention, it was completely involuntary." I said, "You should know, right?" β
She shook her head, "I don't know. β
"We ...... It's different from normal humans. I said.
She nodded, "I know. β
"So we're all coerced, and the guys who controlled us are back again after losing the last war, and this time they're not just going to destroy us, but all the guys who are alive." I say.
"That's why you're coming to us."
"Yes, go straight to the orcs...... They will not agree, and they may even sit idly by and wait for us to perish. I said.
"Then you're looking for us...... Why do we have to help you? She asked the question again, "I don't think the legions of the dead will do much harm if they come here again, and now that the tribe is strong, we are not afraid of them at all. β
I shook my head, "Your allies...... Night Elves. I said, "They have a distant relative...... Just east of the human kingdom, this race possesses no less magical power than the Night Elves, and in some ways I think it completely surpasses the Night Elves. But in front of the army of the dead, their magical power and magic army are like papier-mΓ’chΓ©. β
"You should know what it means to crush, the army of the dead of the king of the dead will swallow up all those who dare to stand in his way like a hurricane tsunami."
"You're exaggerating." She pursed her lips.
"Not really!" I said solemnly: "You don't know that your comrades and compatriots around you were killed one second and resurrected the next, but after they are resurrected, they will raise their weapons and slash at your head. β
She frowned, "I've been there. β
"Your army will only be able to fight less and less, but the army of the dead will always be replenished, and those enemies who have just been killed, you, orcs, trolls, and anyone will once again stand up and be loyal to the king of the dead!"
"Once the Maharaja of the dead, the man known as the Lich King, returns to earth, there will be nothing left alive in this world!"
