Volume 5 Return of the King 163 Traces of the Blade
"Fish look for fish, shrimp look for shrimp." I snorted, "The undead can always tell at a glance whether the other person is human or not, am I right?" ”
She didn't speak.
"You're the only dead man who looks like a living person."
"Curse, let's talk about curses." I lifted my foot and kicked the stone from the ground into the deep ravine.
"This ditch is not a natural formation, you should not be a local so you don't know much about this place, this place did not have this ditch originally, but ...... Unfortunately, when the undead completely destroyed this place, a death knight named Marduk led a team to occupy this place, where our souls are their source of energy, he tortured us, at that time we did not know about death, although we were already dead, but this state of death was for us...... It's not much different from being alive. ”
Her voice became low, "We still don't know anything about the ashes, but when we look forward to the ashes, we really can't survive and die. ”
"Our suffering is the source of their strength." She looked at me.
"Can pain be turned into strength?"
"Have you ever heard the weeping of thousands of souls?"
"I don't understand, but it sounds ......" I shook my head, "uh...... You continue. ”
"The knight named Marduk has been stationed here for a long time, but suddenly one day, an army of humans came here." Her voice suddenly rose up, "I thought our savior was coming." ”
"Whose troops is that?"
"I don't know." "But that fight Maduke lost, he ...... Defeated. But the result of his defeat was that no one would come to this land again, no one would dare to come again, and no one would be able to save this land. ”
"How did he corrupt the land?"
"His sword...... Broken. ”
"Sword? Broken? I squinted at him, his eyes widened a lot.
"He has ...... A black sword, that black sword...... Kill us, torture us, corrupt us, curse us. Eventually, his sword broke and landed on the ground outside the town, and the place slowly sank down like lard melted until it became like this. ”
"It's been a long time?"
"What do you mean for a long time?"
"I said about the defeat of Marduk."
"It won't be long." "But the ravines outside the city are sinking at a rate visible to the naked eye, and I'm really worried that one day this place will corrode through the earth, even to hell, and release all the demons underground." ”
"Hmph......," I glanced at her, "you're pretty good at fantasizing, and if you make up a story, you can really scare a lot of children." ”
"You're wrong, it's only been a few months since he was defeated and fled." She said solemnly.
"A few months?" I looked down again in amazement. "This ...... Where has it spread? ”
"I don't know." "We...... Can't leave the town. ”
"That'...... How do I do that? "I said." What are some of the promptings in the prophecy? ”
"Killing will solve all problems."
This made me squint at her for a long time, "Kill...... Will solve all problems......" I laughed out loud, "it's killing right now, it's killing everywhere, kill first and then resurrect, resurrect and then kill." I shook my head and rolled over my horse.
"I dare not tell you the truth of your prophecy...... I sighed, "but since we all said killing, we will solve ......the problem...... Then there may be a real war in the future. I smacked my tongue and said, "I hope that one day in the future I will be able to solve your problems, but ...... If I do it, I can't guarantee the timeliness. ”
"You've already appeared, the rest is just waiting for the end to come, it doesn't matter when it happens, the most important thing is that it will happen, time ......" her hair fluttered in the air, "we don't lack the most now...... It's time! ”
I didn't remember until I left the town, and forgot to ask the lady what the town was called, but I really didn't want to go back and see her again. I can now clearly picture the woman's big eyes and small pupils. So much so that I can't remember what a beautiful woman should look like now, except that I can imagine the women's big breasts, thighs, and buttocks, but whenever I think of a woman's face, it's her face.
Yes!
I continued along the road, ahead of which was the road to the Chapel of the Light's Wish and Tyre, and of course to Stratholme.
To be honest, I don't know what the use of going to that bird place is, but I still want to see it, to see the dying Order, to see the Baron Maxwell who I shot blind in one eye.
After a day's walk there were traces of people on the road, and at that triangular junction there were footprints, horseshoe prints, and rut marks, and the direction was not elsewhere but Stratholme and Tyre.
The sky here is still so gloomy and hazy, and the dusky sky always makes me feel a sulfur smell in my nostrils, but the indescribable smell still makes me feel very uncomfortable.
I was avoiding people all the way, and I don't know why I was crazy about seeing people a few days ago, but now I'm a little timid when I can meet people.
I don't really want to deal with them, especially the Scarlet Crusaders.
When I got to the Chapel of Light's Wish, I suddenly noticed a treeless clearing on the west side of the road, stretching for a long time to the southwest, I thought it was a lumberyard or something, but just as I was about to reach the Chapel of Light's Wish, and even when I saw the top of the Cathedral, I saw what the treeless land looked like!
My heart hung in the air.
It's not going to spread out of that town and extend here! I opened my mouth wide in surprise, it really didn't feel deep for this ditch to spread to the periphery of the Holy Light Wish Chapel, but under this situation, it was only a matter of time before the Holy Light Wish Chapel collapsed!
Ah! If it was really the sword in the hand of the guy named Marduk, I really admired him, I felt that the power of this sword was more powerful than Frostmourn, more than any weapon!
I think that when he followed Arthas to attack Quel'Thalas, he was able to unleash a withering power as the commander of the undead, and that green smoke would linger around his body, and all living things would die on the land he walked on, and even the land would turn black.
But the bottom of this ditch does not feel black and black, which is completely different from the impression of being corroded, but if it is really corroded, it is really too exaggerated. And I still have an impression of this Marduk, that's it...... One of the vassals of the Barov family, a guy who volunteered to sacrifice himself when Arthas came to Keldaron, didn't feel like him at the time...... Besides, this guy's strength doesn't seem to be good, and he was defeated with such a powerful weapon. It's really unreasonable.
With a stomach full of questions, I walked in the direction of the church, and the same process as last time, checked, reported, and came to greet me. But fortunately, the people who came to greet me this time not only moved quickly, but also seemed to be taking my arrival seriously.
There were obviously a lot more garrisons here than before, and there were dwarves and elves here, not the Night Elves, but the arrogant guys of Quel'Thalas. Fortifications are being built here, and I'm a little confused by the thickness of the walls they built, which can't stop the army of the undead.
But then I thought about it...... The walls of the Valley of the Hearthplace are high, and they are not blocked...... Alas! The one who can hold back the army of the undead hasn't yet appeared.
I was taken into the backyard of the chapel, which was actually quite large, and it was really a cave, which reminded me of the days when I was in Lordaeron with Uther and Fao at Lordaeron Cathedral.
There was a two-story building in the backyard, and there were a few people in the open room when I was taken up to the second floor, and the guy with only one eye heard my footsteps and looked back at me.
A smile appeared on his face as he watched me walk towards him. As I walked into the room, I looked around at the people around me, "Welcome back." He held out his hand to me.
I grabbed his forearm and his hand grabbed mine very strongly. "Don't come unharmed? Lord Maxwell Taylorsus. ”
He looked back at the group, "Let me introduce you...... His name is Bill. He nodded.
I glanced at him, "That's it?" I said.
"Heh......" he smiled, "what else would you like to introduce?" ”
"Can't you compliment me?" I laughed and told him.
"Ahh He opened his mouth, then turned his gaze to the crowd, "He's a great guy. ”
"Your humor is not humorous at all." I pursed my lips and raised my eyebrows to look to the side, and suddenly I saw a little girl in the crowd looking at me seriously, and I looked at her for two seconds before I nodded and looked away.
She...... How do I feel a little familiar.
"We're discussing what's next, and you're here." He tapped me on the shoulder and motioned for me to sit down.
"Tsk, discuss......" I sat down on the stool, "don't you have a stool with cushions?" I frowned.
"What mat do you want?"
"I'm here on horseback...... Do you know how far you have come? I said, "It's not too much to give me a soft seat." ”
He waved his hand and smiled a little helplessly, "Where are you from?" ”
"From the Stormwind Kingdom."
"That's far enough." He said. "By land or by water?"
"The first waterway, of course." I say.
"I guess so." He nodded, "Did you land from Nanhai Town?" ”
"You know a lot." I say.
"What's going on out there now?"
I glanced at the girl and saw that she had been looking at me, so I looked at her again, "Won't you tell us who this is?" "I waved my hand, it was rude to point at people.
"This is Father Innigo Montor." He first introduced a white-bearded man sitting on a chair, this man didn't know why his skin was very dark and his hair was white, but this color difference was a bit abrupt, and this guy didn't seem to be an old man when he looked at his face, but his black face was really awkward with white hair.
"He is a very respected priest here and the presiding officer of many of our ceremonies." Maxwell Taylorsos said. The priest nodded slightly at me, and I quickly returned the salute.
"That's a very powerful magician in Dalaran, and an archmage, Angela Dusatus." The woman nodded at me, and I smiled in return.
Enchanter...... The Great Magician. Ha! It seems that since the death of Antonidas, there have suddenly been many great magicians in this world, and the title of great magician originally carried a lot of weight in my heart, and it was definitely not something that ordinary people could call themselves great magicians. I thought as I smiled.
"His name is ...... Marland. He pointed to the girl who had been looking at me. I can finally look at her face in the open air.
Ah, a young girl is good, her complexion, her lips are tender, and that healthy complexion is pleasing at first glance. And...... Her eyes are so pretty.
"Ahem......" Maxwell coughed, and I glanced at him, "She's our ...... here Consultant. ”
I was slightly surprised by his words, and I noticed her dress again, and the red logo caught my eye. Consultant...... It reminds me of the Valley of the Hearth. There seems to be a ...... in that command post when I was in Hearthvale Counselor, and the girl was good-looking, but I can't remember her name.
Maxwell saw that I wanted to speak, but he didn't give me a chance, "This is our warrior here, Paladin Colfax. ”
I seem to have heard of this name, but I only think about it, and I don't remember where or when I heard it. I glanced at this middle-aged man leaning against the wall with a serious face, he estimated that he was almost fifty years old, but it was not good to have long hair at this age, but I didn't squeak.
"I ......"
Maxwell interrupted me again with a wave of his hand, "Now we have a very important question. He said, "You'll talk about it later." ”
I was suffocated by his words, and just as I was stunned, he said, "Now we have a huge problem that we can't solve, and I would like to hear your opinion." ”
