Volume 5 The Return of the King 165 Marlan
I've seen this girl before, but I feel like I've been seeing her for a long time.
After Lordaeron was finished, I could see very few human women, even more girls, and beautiful girls were absolutely rare. So although this kind of posture is not a country and a city, it can be regarded as a middle-class appearance, and it is impossible for me not to remember.
She is also not destined to be a southerner, a Stormwind Kingdom or a ...... Elsewhere. And I think it is necessary to be able to be a consultant, which means that she is a nobleman.
Since it is an aristocracy...... Then her family must also be a lord or official somewhere here. Since that's the case, then I want to see her is probably Lordaeron, not before the destruction.
That's all I can think of.
There wasn't a lot of discussion in the meeting where the girl was really involved, she spent more time listening, listening to a few of you talking. Those guys were like they were colluding and they were going to tear up when they described the situation here.
In the end, however, the girl gave them no promises, no more hints or comforts, she just spoke calmly to the men and the archmage, and then nodded her head in approval from time to time.
She looks at people's expressions very sincerely, as an outsider I sit cutely on the side to watch people's expressions express words and actions, those casual expressions can show whether that person is eager or casual, sincere or hypocritical, real or false, friendly or vigilant.
And this girl's face is relatively calm from beginning to end, at most serious and serious, she has no other expression on her face, the average man will occasionally grit his teeth or something, once he grits his teeth, his mandible will be tight, and even the muscles in his neck will be tensed together.
But there was no such phenomenon on the girl's clean little face, and she didn't blink much. Not to mention those small movements in hand, there are none. She just sat upright in the chair, her back was straight but she didn't feel stiff, I would unconsciously collapse when I sit, and when I wanted to straighten my waist, I was not only very deliberate but also tired. But people sit upright, and it's very natural.
With both hands on the legs, the fingers have not made small movements, and there is no picking of fingers or nails. She sat upright until at last Terosus let out a long sigh and announced that this was the end of the discussion for the day. And the expression on the woman's face did not change until she left at the end.
Anyway, I feel that this woman has been listening carefully, and the way she nods from time to time feels very sincere doesn't make me feel a little perfunctory. But after the meeting, Tairosus was visibly unhappy.
"You seem to be annoyed." When everyone was gone, I leaned against the wall and said.
"What do you think of that woman?" He said.
"You mean Marlan?"
"Who else but her? Angela is her own person. ”
"Won't the Scarlet Crusaders help you in your time of need?" I asked knowingly.
"You saw her attitude just now."
"That's just her attitude, it doesn't represent the will of the upper echelons of the crusaders." I say.
Tairossos frowned, "She's the representative of the upper echelons of the Crusaders. ”
"But can she, a woman, call the shots in this matter? I don't think she has the guts or the wisdom. I snorted.
"You don't understand, Bill." He looked at me, "The Crusaders weren't as good a talker as Terenus was back then. ”
"So you mean she won't help us, do you?"
"You saw it too, do you think she will?"
"I don't think she will." I looked at him with a non-smiling smile.
"Are you serious?"
"That's what you're thinking, isn't it?" I say.
His eyes looked at me and he snorted heavily.
"I'll meet her." I patted him on the shoulder, "I think I should have seen her." ”
I was sitting in the back garden, and I knew she could see me in her room, and I was betting that she would come down to find me, and even if she didn't, I wouldn't have anything to lose. And this time I was right, and she came behind me.
"Did you come specifically for me?" I said without looking back at her.
She didn't answer me immediately, but stood for a moment before moving a few steps closer. "Your name is Bill."
"Didn't you just introduce it?"
"Bill Max, native of the Stormwind Kingdom." She repeated.
"How?" I stopped what I was doing and turned my head to look at her.
"You were there with Arthas when he was alive, am I right?" Her face remained unfazed.
I looked her in the eye, "What do you want to say?" ”
"What about Arthas?"
I frowned, "He ...... In the far further north. ”
"How do you know?" Her tone changed slightly.
"How do I know...... Ha! I laughed, "What do you want to know?" ”
"You were there when Alsace slaughtered Stratholme." Her eyes changed.
Looking at her face, my heart suddenly darkened, and this girl was not so cute in an instant. "I'm here." I said slowly.
How can this have the feeling that his creditor has come to the door.
"Did you also participate in the massacre?" Her tone wasn't harsh, but I suddenly didn't know how to pick it up.
I raised my head slightly and pointed my chin at her, "What exactly are you trying to say?" ”
"Looks like you're involved." She snorted softly.
My eyelids twitched, "Yes, I did." "It feels bad to be exposed.
"You have a share in the evil deeds of Arthas." The way she looked at me suddenly made me feel like I was being judged.
"As an eyewitness, this matter is definitely not worth mentioning, and there is no need to discuss who is right and who is wrong." I said, "I ......."
"As a first-hand witness, this incident should be mentioned often and must not be forgotten, and this kind of hatred must not be forgotten." Her eyes hardened.
"Witnesses? Are you still an eyewitness? I looked at her seriously.
"You didn't expect that, did you...... I just crawled out of that hell. The way she looked at me was finally unfriendly.
I narrowed my eyes, then shook my head a little incredulously, "Your life is big. I nodded again, "Your life is indeed very big. ”
"Do you think the people of the city are dead?"
"I don't think so." I say.
"Do you want to die inside?"
I squinted at her, "No. ”
"Is this a lie you're telling against your will to cover up your embarrassment at this moment?" Her words are so sharp.
"Can you not speak so sharply."
"Can you answer my question? Then...... When you stand outside the city and look at the fire in the city, you hope that a fire will burn the whole city to ashes, and burn all the living and the dead, and all the sins they and you have committed, I am right. ”
"This ...... Lady. I also straightened my face, "Do you have a better way?" ”
"You should at least leave a way for the people of the city, the living, to escape, am I right?"
I nodded, "Agreed." ”
"But why didn't you do that?"
"That is the will of Arthas."
"He was just a crown prince at the time, not a king yet."
"Uther has been dismissed on the spot, girl, I see you speak easily, if you were me, what would you do then?"
"I will convince and will do my best to fight for it."
"Humph!" I laughed.
"You don't respect life at all, you don't care about the lives of ordinary people!"
I shook my head, "Quite the opposite! At that time, his goal was to save more people. ”
"But he not only killed hundreds of thousands of Stratholm civilians, but also buried this kingdom and this world!"
"I can understand your feelings, but this is not the way to solve the problem." I say. "It's a matter of facts."
"Why didn't you follow Arthas further north?"
"I'm a soldier, but I'm a human being." I say.
"Humph!" She snorted disdainfully. "My father, mother, and my brother all died in that fire."
"I'm sorry." I said, "But I didn't set the fire." ”
"But your current attitude doesn't give me the sense that you have anything to apologize for, and you still seem to understand Arthas's misdeeds, do you?" She had already begun to question me.
"I don't want to argue with you about who's right and who......" I shook my head, and I realized that I was about to be emotionally seduce by this woman. I deeply sympathize with what happened to you, and I deeply regret the hurt that happened to you. ”
I slipped the dagger into the scabbard, tucked the grinding stone into my pocket, and gestured gently, "If something like this happens, I'll save as many lives as I can." I...... I don't want those innocent lives to be cut off......"
"But! Now the question is...... The undead scourge is now back, and they're back. It is said that there is a debtor who is wronged, and I will pay back what I should repay, and I will pay it back, but the person most responsible for this matter is still in the far north, and his minions have destroyed the world again, and this time it will be true. ”
"So...... Our goals are very similar now. I said, "Destroy the plagues for your father and mother, for your brothers...... and thousands upon thousands who died by their swords and because of them...... Settle an old score! ”
I looked her in the eye and said, "Am I right?" ”
There was light in this woman's eyes, and her emotions seemed to be stirred up by me. Her nose moved, her body inhaled, and I knew her emotions were being satisfied to a certain extent as I watched her slowly exhale her breath.
"The most important task now is ...... The undead scourge was completely removed, and now the one who is reviving it is Kel'thugad, I think you should know the name. I said, "He commands and controls hundreds of thousands of undead Scourge soldiers, and the Scarlet Crusade, as the largest resistance organization and the most authoritative leader organization in the entire north, should respond in time when the Alliance forces counterattack. ”
I felt that I was touched.
