Volume 5 The Return of the King 234 For the Son
When Stormwind fell, Anduin Lothar protected the young prince from Stormwind and went into exile in Lordaeron. I returned to Lordaeron after much hardship, where I took up the role of guardian and training him.
When the master who trained him died in the Broken City, I took his place when I was in Lordaeron. There I was in charge of training Varian, and Uther was Arthas's teacher, and Gianna was a little girl.
I taught Varian all the martial arts skills he had, but during one of his training sessions, he injured his ankle and left a very small scar on his heel. I don't think anyone knows about it now, except me. The scar was inconspicuous, but I remember it clearly. Varian has several scars on his body, and I know exactly when they were left. I guess even his former queen Tiffin doesn't know as much as I do.
And the scar on the heel, I guess Varian himself forgot about it!
I looked at the Savage King, and his eyes were full of incredulity, I guess it was because he never expected me to say such a thing.
Everyone looked at him.
No one spoke, and his face took on a completely unbelievable expression.
Varian bent down and lifted his left foot, tilted his foot to look at his heel, and a small inconspicuous scar appeared in front of my eyes.
When I saw this, I turned my attention to the Savage King Varian again, and the Savage King was a little overwhelmed at this time, but more angry, but he also took off his boot on his left foot.
When the people around him saw that there was also a very inconspicuous scar on the heel of his left foot, they let out an exclamation.
The Savage King raised his eyes and glared at Varian, and then at me, as if to say, "Look! I have it too! ”
I was stunned at this moment, really stunned.
The elf beside the Savage King frowned and repeatedly checked the heels of the two of them, and finally looked up at me, the expression on his face clearly saying that it was indeed the same!
"I also have scars on my right ring and middle fingers." Varian held out his right hand.
But the Savage King dropped his weapon and revealed his right hand, and when the two hands were put together, everyone let out another exclamation of surprise.
"That doesn't mean much!" The Savage King said.
"Nope! That's too telling. Varian said. It seems that the person who copied you made a bloody investment! ”
"Fart! It's the one who copied me who made a bloody deal with you! The Savage King slammed back.
"You don't even know him!" Varian raised his voice.
"I'm just having amnesia!" The Savage King retorted.
"Stop!" The Night Elves spoke, "Stop this pointless argument! He turned to the Savage King, "Isn't it time to find a way to get your children back first?" ”
"It's my child!" Varian corrected.
"Alright!" I shouted impatiently.
"He ......," I said, pointing to the Savage King, "there is a curse on his body, and he has been enchanted, and we can't tell who he is, but if we find the source of the magic and remove the curse, the problem should be solved." "I looked at Varian as I spoke," Brohl is right, Anduin has been captured, now we have to find him first, I don't think the enchantress will eat your son, but the longer we delay, the less likely Anduin will survive. ”
At this point, both Varians stopped talking.
"As for where your son is being taken now...... I paused, "didn't you kill all the dragonmen?" ”
It was impossible for anyone to rest that night, interrogating the captured dragonmen overnight was the most important thing, this matter was difficult to say, but it was also very simple to say, it was difficult to let the dragonmen turn back into human form, but it was much easier to let them speak.
Dragons can endure more than humans, and torture is not worth mentioning in front of them, even if they are skinned and cramped and ripped off their scales, they can't make them speak, but Brower has his own way, which is to sneak into their dreams, and it is far easier for the horned druids to connect with this creature than it is to humans.
It worked well, and Brower saw the Blackstone Mountain, the place where he had fought some time before, but there was another place that caught his attention, which was a swamp, and mountains, and a scene he saw that reminded him at once of the place where they had set out, and that was Theramore.
Brower guessed that it was very likely that the black dragon had taken the child there. But this is just speculation, it can't be confirmed, once you make a mistake, it's nothing to waste some energy, but no one can afford to waste time.
And the fastest way to reach Theramore is by airship, an airship made by goblins. However, there are no airships in Stormwind, and two of them have been destroyed last time in Ironforge. It's a bit of a long way to get to Ironforge from here, but it's much faster to get to Booty Bay!
It still fell on my head, after all, no one but me could communicate with the goblins. Broll and Valilla went with me to Booty Cove, my dragon eagle made Valeera like it very much, as a creature unique to her homeland, Redmouth did not reject her, but I couldn't ride on the Night Elf, so I rode the dragon eagle, and Broll took Valilla and set off for Booty Bay that night.
There was one more thing that didn't have time to deal with that night, and that was Reginald's death.
He died, and after pushing me away, he saved me with his own life, but I had to get on my way so fast that I didn't have time to see him one last time.
I can't say how he felt about his death, it was strange and awkward. He was my closest comrade-in-arms, and I used to treat him like a brother, but since I was arrested and put in prison, a series of things have happened until now! I don't know what he thinks, I didn't expect to see him again in the abyss of Blackstone Mountain, really! Although Lagash has lost his memory, he still has Varian's body and identity.
He hasn't said anything to me, maybe because Varian is there, I have a lot to say, a lot of questions I want to say to him, I guess he has a lot of things to say to me! But suddenly it's life and death!
I left to find an airship to save the king's son, I don't know if there will be a funeral for Marshal Reginad in the next few days, such a big thing happened in Stormwind, so many people died, and there was another king, or Reginald brought it back......
Yes! As soon as he died, what about the army outside the city? What does this say? To be honest, I was nervous when I was in the air. These are big questions!
The road from Stormwind City to Treasure Bay would be fast in ten days and a half months, but we flew quickly in the sky, and it took less than two days to get there.
It was a real feeling to look down on the jungle from the air where I had lived and fought, and the two of them had never been here before, but they were also very interested in the land.
I told them stories about how I lived and fought here, and although I can't remember some of them, I was still very impressed by some of the key things. For example, how did I come into contact with the gods of Loa here, how did I meet a troll leader on the tribe now, what is going on with the trolls, their living customs, etc.
So the girl became more and more interested in me, until she also asked me a question if I had gone to her in the Hammer of Doom a long time ago.
I said yes and asked her how she knew, and she said that the Minotaur had told him that a male human had come to see her, and that the trainer wanted her to sleep with the man to earn some extra money, but the man refused.
It wasn't until she heard that I had gone to the Hammer of Doom to look for Lagash, and she remembered if I had gone looking for her. She said that she didn't have a good impression of me at first, but now she thinks I'm not a bad person.
I accepted her compliment, and I liked that I was being praised for being a good person, although it didn't make me happy, but she could treat me as a companion. That's the only thing that made me feel a little happy along the way.
This girl has a strong personality, and I told her that I have been in contact with many, many Blood Elves, including Sylvanas Windranger, the owner of the Forsaken who now occupies the ruins of Lordaeron. Valera said she had heard of the legend of Sylvanas, and she said she had been a hero.
I told her that Sylvanas was a hero, but she is now. Although I don't like her anymore, I can't deny that this woman is a very strong and scheming guy.
She didn't know that I was a dead man, and I wasn't going to tell her. Her face is full of pain as she talks about the downfall of the kingdom as a child, the upheaval, the displacement, and the last life she endured.
I didn't tell her about my story with Arthas, and I didn't want to ruin the goodwill I had just developed. Hmph, this girl is quite vindictive.
As I flew over the Valley of Thorns, I was amazed to see that the tribe had also come and set up camp here, neither of them had a good impression of the tribe, and she said that he hated the orcs for the days when he was taken as slaves and forced to fight. And although Browl doesn't like orcs either, he doesn't seem to have any desire for revenge or hostile war.
Treasure Bay has really become a commercial center city, there are more boats on the sea than the last time I was here, the city has not only expanded, but some of the buildings in the city have also been greatly repaired and renewed. When the three of us landed on the dock, it attracted a lot of attention, especially when Browl transformed from a giant eagle into a human form, and the people around him screamed in surprise.
Our presence also caught the attention of the Treasure Bay Guards, and after some cross-examination, we paid a small amount of money to get them to stop pestering us.
Renting an airship is a very expensive thing, but in order to save his son Varian, he is willing to spend money, although he also knows that he should not spend too much money morally, but I am not good at bargaining, and this elf, a big one, a small one, a man and a woman, is not good at this kind of thing.
We were pressed for time, and I was here for a few hours, and I found the best weapon master here to see how the guns could be repaired, but when the goblins came up with better and more powerful muskets, I didn't hesitate to buy them and replace all my muskets.
In particular, the rapid reloading device invented by the goblins won my heart, although the price is indeed quite expensive, but this thing is not a spoon and a knife but a living thing, expensive is expensive, easy to use is the most important.
I used the money to lease the airship, of course, I only embezzled part of it after the lease was completed, and I also wanted to save Prince Anduin, and Varian should not be counted with this money, right?
After renting two large ships, we hurried to Stormwind, and seeing that we were so anxious that they were underquoted, and seeing that they wanted to blackmail, Valeera wanted to teach them a lesson, but was stopped by Broll.
The ship was fast, but Brower was even faster, and he went back first to tell Varian to get ready and leave as soon as our ship arrived.
When we got back, I noticed that the two Varians were still looking at each other unpleasantly, but they were just as eager when they saw the ship coming. After all, they all said that Anduin was their own son.
Two large ships carried us and more than a hundred carefully selected soldiers on the journey west. The two kings, both said that it was for their children, and they both said that it was their own children, no matter what it was, killing the black dragon and finding the truth about their disappearance was also what they really had to do.
Then set sail and go! For Anduin, for ...... The truth.
