Volume 5 The Return of the King 235 Reminiscences of the Past
Riding in an airship scares me more than taking a boat.
It's true. It doesn't feel anything when it's not taking off, and when it's ready to take off, it's nothing when it first takes off, but when it's gradually climbing, that feeling comes.
I don't like things that I can't grasp.
The boat is in the water, although there are ups and downs, but even if the boat capsizes in the end, it will not drown, or the possibility of drowning is not too great. I hate places with a lot of water, not because of the width of the water, but because of the depth of the water and the unknown underwater. It's a heart disease.
It's a different feeling when I'm in the air, I'm just getting used to flying in the sky, and Redbill is a strong guy, and it carries me and makes me feel safe, but this big ship is different, I always feel that the big balloon above my head is very fragile, and I'm worried that this thing won't explode or be hit by a bird or something, and if it really gets hit by a bird, it will be a joke.
For this reason, I also asked the goblins to repeatedly confirm that they would not be hit by birds, and they patted their not very wide chests and said that they were okay, and they could rest assured.
Redmouth was happy lying on the deck, and Brower saw my concern, and there seemed to be a hint of mockery in his smile.
Reginald's funeral was put on hold for the time being, and Varian was visibly unhappy, as I expected, and it was incomprehensible that we weren't arrested now. Really, if I were the king, I would arrest these guys immediately, regardless of your reasons for this, and don't ask for reasons first.
But he didn't catch us and set off with me...... I couldn't read him anymore, and the two Varians still didn't speak to each other. But on this day, when we were all basking on deck, the Savage King suddenly came up to me and said to me solemnly, "I seem to have remembered something!" ”
I looked at him curiously, and he said to me solemnly, "I remember who you are." ”
His words made me smile, "Names don't count." ”
"No, I remember how you came here, you lied that King Alterac sent you to support, but your name is Mason, and you're Van Cleaf's brother."
I looked into his eyes, and he looked at me, and I wanted to see something in his eyes, but there didn't seem to be the look in his eyes that I was expecting. I'm talking about...... Anger, disappointment, or ...... Hatred.
"You and your brother were both stonemasons in the Stormwind Kingdom, but you...... Then it disappeared, and then changed its name, which is your current name, Bill. He said calmly, "Your presence did not arouse the suspicion of most people, and you did help my father a lot, and made an outstanding contribution to saving my kingdom, and then Stormwind fell, and I followed...... Anduin Lothar fled to the north. ”
"Do you remember Anduin Lothar?"
"Yes." He nodded, "This belt of mine ......" he patted the lion head belt around his waist with his hand, "This is his, I know it." ”
"Do you know who Lothar is?"
"My mother's brother, my uncle." He said. "You trained me in Lordaeron, and then the war escalated, and you drove the orcs out of the north and reclaimed the kingdom of Stormwind."
"There should be all this history in the book." I say.
"You think I flipped through the books?"
I squinted at him and didn't speak.
"My mother, Queen Talia, you were the last person to see her." His expression became more serious, "Some people say that you killed her, but I don't believe it, but what about my mother's death...... I do have a haunting feeling. ”
My eyes filled with surprise, "You know a lot. ”
"I remember a lot, including why I'm here now." He said.
"Hey!" I shouted to Varian on the side, "Your Majesty! ”
Varian looked at me, and I beckoned to him, "I have something to tell you." ”
Varian glanced at the Savage King and walked over a little displeased, "What's the matter?" ”
"You go on." I said to the Savage King.
The Savage King glanced at Varian beside him, "I remember how my father died. ”
Varian's face changed dramatically, and he was about to open his mouth when I reached out to stop him.
"My father died in front of me, assassinated by an orc he trusted, no, a female orc." The Savage King frowned. "You're on a mission......"
"They're going to destroy the already crazy Medivan." "Anduin Lothar and Marshal Reginald were there. ”
I looked at the Savage King, and he continued, "But you've killed the orcs and you've still not been able to save the Stormwind Kingdom. ”
"After the war, the rebuilding of the Stormwind Kingdom is your brother's job." The Savage King continued, "I know I owe you a lot of money. ”
"This has a lot to do with Catlana." Varian said, "I ...... I was bewitched by her at the time. ”
"Not only was I bewitched, I think more than half of the nobles at that time were bewitched." "At first I wasn't very impressed with the fees paid, but ...... When Katrana came to me with the ledger and the ledger, I was amazed at how much money could be spent. ”
"That money was indeed too much to spend, and many nobles at the time told me that there must be a huge amount of trickery in it." "I also thought the fee was too high, so I ...... it," Varian said.
"I took their word for it, and Catlana said she had a way to deal with it." The Savage King said.
"Katrana did promise to take care of the matter, and the Masonry Brotherhood was initially pushed down, and the matter was unanimously praised by most of the nobles." Varian said.
The Savage King looked at Varian in some surprise, and Varian looked at the Savage King with a puzzled expression. "And at that time Katrana said you...... Also participated. Varian said slowly.
"Why?" I said, staring into the man's eyes.
"Because she said she had investigated you, and she had conclusive evidence that your presence was not an accident, that you weren't Bill, that your name was Mason." The Savage King looked at me as well.
"What else did she say?" I turned to look at the Savage King.
"This made me anxious, but I chose to believe you." Varian said.
"And then?" I looked at Varian again.
"I wasn't the one who issued the arrest warrant." The Savage King said.
"Hah!" I laughed out loud.
"He's right!" Varian glanced at the Savage King in some surprise, "I wasn't the one who ordered you to be arrested, but Catlana said you had secret contact with the Masonry Brotherhood during that time. ”
"I wouldn't be worried if it was just one person who said you weren't good, but then ...... Not only Katrana, but also many people have accused you, and some people have even come forward to prove that you are indeed not Bill, but Edwin's own brother Mason Van Cleef. Varian said.
"I'm ......," the Savage King glanced at Varian beside him, "If I let you out, it will cause more gossip, and I didn't release you to protect you." ”
"Humph......" I snorted softly.
"That's true, but then after you were temporarily imprisoned...... Katrana says you're not honest in prison either, and you're still in secret contact with people from the Brotherhood outside. "You used to be the person I trusted the most, but all the rumors were against you. ”
My eyes twitched.
"I want to find out, but ...... I don't know what happened during that time...... It's very irritable, and it's really not in the mood...... I'm very uneasy, I don't know what's wrong, it's just ...... Very ......"
"It's unsettling." The Savage King took Varian's words, "I started to have insomnia all night, and then nightmares. ”
"Did you send Reginald to find out what I was talking about?" I looked at Varian.
Varian didn't deny it.
"I still want to find a glimmer of hope in you, and I hope you're not like that." The Savage King's face showed a hint of regret.
"But...... The end result was completely unexpected. "My people have betrayed me, and my queen has been killed by a mob," Varian said. ”
This phrase made me squint at Varian, and it made me feel harsh.
"My favorite Tiffin was hit in the head by a mob's rock, and I was furious that day when there was a mess and then ...... Katrana said that she and I had been deceived by the Masonry Brotherhood, and in a fit of rage, I ordered the liquidation of those people. ”
"The Masons of the Masonry Brotherhood have stormed Stormwind prison, and you're missing." The Savage King continued, "I couldn't control the anger in my heart, and Katrana kept whispering in my ear about you and your brother's schemes. ”
His words made me suddenly not know what to say.
"The riots are ongoing, and the more they are suppressed, the more they get worse." "The situation is completely out of control, and I'm ...... I was very depressed, my heart was completely filled with grief, my spirit was shattered, and I felt a sense of disappointment and helplessness that I had never felt before. ”
"Frustrated, I'm very frustrated, I want to be angry, but what I feel more is frustration, the sadness of being betrayed and the grief of losing a loved one." The Savage King said.
"And then you entrusted the power to that enchantress, didn't you?" I said coldly.
"I ...... I don't know, I can't remember what I thought at the time. The Savage King said.
"I have a very vague memory of that time, and I can't remember what I thought about it now, I just felt hollowed out, completely devoid of energy, and I found that I couldn't concentrate at all."
"No, I'm only slightly better off in front of Anduin." The Savage King corrected Varian's words.
Varian's eyes at the Savage King at this time were no longer the original disdain, hostility and suspicion, and his eyes were full of disbelief at this time.
"I left everything to her at that time." The Savage King continued.
"What about Bolval?"
"It was also handed over to Bolval, but at that time Bolval and Katrana were still on good terms, and I believe in them." Varian added
I frowned, "You've been manipulated by her. ”
"Now it seems that yes, I was indeed toyed with by that enchantress, and she made me her puppet." Varian said.
"You were shirtless when we came to the palace that day." The Savage King glanced at Varian, "Have you been sleeping with her?" ”
Varian's face suddenly became a little tense.
The Savage King snorted, "Does it feel good to sleep with a dragon?" ”
"I just got scammed!" Varian retorted.
"If you're Varian too." I glanced at the Savage King, "You haven't slept with her before?" ”
The Savage King glanced at me, turned his face to the side, and stopped talking.
I looked at the two of them, and then said to Varian, "Is he right?" Varian's face suddenly became solemn.
I looked back at the Savage King Lagash, "Did he say the same as you thought?" ”
At this time, the two looked at each other, "Exactly the same." The two spoke in unison.
Looking at the two of them again, "So...... For the fact that you were attacked...... Do you remember it? I turned my head to look into the eyes of the Savage King: "You speak first!" ”
