Volume 5 The Return of the King 275 Khadgar
Khadgar's appearance was really hard for me to accept, his face was a little too old, his originally square face was now only skinny and bone, and the towering cheekbones and protruding eyebrow bones were really indistinguishable This face is the head left after Khadgar has lost his flesh and blood.
And his beard ...... It's not very dense, and the sparse white beard on his chin is hard for me to associate him with the Great Magician, after all, almost all the male Great Magicians I've ever seen have a lot of beards. His hair was white, too, but it wasn't eye-catching at all, really.
"I remember you've only been missing for a dozen ...... Twenty years or so, but your ...... How can it change so much? ”
"How do you stay young." He spoke to me but looked at Egwene on the side. He nodded to Egwene, who looked at the man curiously.
"I didn't expect you to be so old." Although Egwen's words were not particularly appropriate, she made sense to say so.
"What?" Khadgar was a little surprised. "This elegant lady...... Presumably not an ordinary person. He looked at Egwene again, "You're a magician too?" ”
"Yes." Egwene smiled, "I know some magic. ”
Khadgar looked at me with interest, "I didn't expect you to choose a magician as your companion in the end. ”
I smiled and didn't continue to answer the conversation, "I have a lot of things I want to tell you, but now...... I want to ...... more," I said, looking at the huge relief. "Let's talk to the prophet."
Seeing this intelligent creature called the Prophet Adar with my own eyes was very different from what I had imagined, especially its size, I really didn't expect it to be so big.
When talking to someone, the expression, eyes, and posture on the other person's face can show some meanings that can be expressed without words, but this thing is composed of a ball of light and a pile of stones, except that it is suspended in the air, and the pattern on its body is dead and has not changed at all.
"Is this the source of the Light?" I looked up at the thing and said to Khadgar.
"You can say the same thing." "They have the power of the Light, and they can bless those who believe in it." ”
"The word blessing is well used." I said, "But it really doesn't look like I imagined." ”
"My friend...... Speak more directly. Khadgar was a little embarrassed.
Honestly, I say this because I can't connect the thing in front of me with something intelligent or something like a god.
There was no reaction from what was in front of him, and Khadgar turned to look at me and said, "Let's talk in a different place." ”
After walking out of the building, Khadgar took a deep breath and spat it out, he turned his head to look at my face, "How can you talk like that!" ”
"What's wrong?" I smiled.
"He's the god of the Draenei."
"If our people see the god they believe in, I believe that at least half of the believers will have to reconsider whether to continue to believe in it." I snorted.
"Don't judge it by its appearance alone." Khadgar made a face.
"Bill, he's right, that ...... Well...... It does possess extremely great power. Egwen said.
"Extremely powerful." I looked at Egwen, "It's the first time I've met you. ”
Egwene looked at me with some seriousness, "It's true, it's powerful. ”
"What about you back then?"
Egwene smiled and didn't speak.
"That's it, it still doesn't seem to be as good as you." I say.
Egwen shook his head, "More than me." She said.
"You're ......," Khadgar interjected.
"You're kidding." I said deliberately.
"This lady ...... Extraordinary temperament! Are you a registered mage in Dalaran? I haven't seen you before. Khadgar asked curiously.
Egwene smiled and shook his head. Khadgar looked at me curiously, as if seeking answers from me. "She's really good." As I spoke, I dragged him forward.
"I met Danas at Fort Glory." I said, "There's something I need to check with you." ”
"Who sent you? Is it King Varian? Northern Kingdom ...... How's it going? ”
"Varian sent me." I said, "But more than that, I really want to see you." I patted him on the arm, "I really didn't expect you to be alive and ...... There's so much going on here, so much so I might be able to tell you more than I can tell you in a while, so ......," I glanced at Egwen, "find us a place, I need to take a shower, and then get something to eat, and I'd like to talk to you tonight if you don't sleep early." ”
The baths here are completely different from those of humans, there is no hot water! And the place where they bathed turned out to be a pool, or public!
It took a lot of effort to boil some hot water for Egwene to wash the dust, and then I jumped into the big public pool and rubbed myself up. Khadgar's banquet that night was already grand in his words, and I believed him, but it was really ...... It's shabby.
It was late in the night, as we were talking more, and I told Khadgar about almost everything that had happened in the past, what had happened to me and some of the things that I felt I could talk about. Khadgar's brows were furrowed from the beginning, to his solemn complexion, and at the end, he supported his face with his hands, and felt that the whole person was not in a good state.
When I saw him, I wanted to say less, but he insisted that I talk about it in as much detail as possible, and he insisted on listening to my story.
I have only seen old ladies crying, I have never seen old men crying, I have never seen old men crying, I have never seen old men crying, let alone what it is like for old men to choke up, but he choked up and cried several times when he listened to me. The way he looks makes me feel very uncomfortable. When I finished, I felt like I had been hollowed out, and he leaned back in his chair more like he had been completely drained.
He couldn't understand why they weren't allowed to retreat from the home they had defended with their lives, and he said that even King Varian should be considerate of their plight. I wanted to excuse King Varian, but after thinking about it, I didn't say it for the time being, and he won't listen to it now.
When Khadgar calmed himself down, I asked him what he was going to do, and he wiped his face and said, "I really want to, but I can't go back right now, and things might be a bit complicated here." ”
His answer was beyond my expectations, and his intellect made me a little confused. "Are you sure you're okay?"
He glanced at me, "I'm not as weak as you think. ”
"It's irrational." I smiled, "The Draenei are in charge of the Draenei, and aren't the Night Elves already involved in this matter now?" ”
He shook his head and said: "It's not that simple, Adar not only has great power, he sees problems in breadth and depth beyond us, I have learned a lot and understood more during the time I have been in contact with him, and it can be said that I can see more and farther than simply what is happening in front of me." ”
The way I looked at him changed. "What you're saying makes me feel like you're no longer an ordinary magician."
"Although I don't have much information, but the appearance of demons in this world must not be a simple problem, Adar They fought against those demons tens of thousands of years ago, they have seen too many worlds rise and too many worlds to perish, this world is the one they have experienced."
"You're saying they're the way the world is?"
"It's a demon."
"But the cause of the orc invasion is...... Medivan. I paused.
"But the orcs here are bewitched, and it's the demons." He said. "Demons bewitch orcs, orcs invade our world, and Medivan is just one of them."
"What else?"
"Didn't you just say that demons once invaded our world?"
"How?"
"Our world is not dangerous just because of the orc invasion, and demons will not abandon our world." He said.
"Last time they failed, the orcs, along with humans and elves, stopped the demon invasion, as I said."
"Because they failed, they wanted to find other ways to continue their plans. Otherwise, the Dark Door would not have been opened again for no apparent reason. ”
"Do you know who reopened the Dark Gate?"
"I don't know, but after the dark door was opened, many people escaped from our world, such as those blood elves, and many demons also ran from this world."
"And what else did you learn from this Adhana?"
"The orcs here are restless, they're using demons, and they're ready to take a gamble." Khadgar said.
"The orcs over there probably don't know about the Dark Gate reopening yet." I say.
"Sooner or later, we'll know." He said: "How can such a thing be hidden. ”
I pursed my lips, "So what are you going to do if you stay?" ”
"Investigate the truth, and then ......," he sighed softly, "I will continue to report to the human king, including to the dwarven king and Dalaran." ”
"Does Dalaran know you're still alive?" I asked.
"I don't know yet." He said, "I've sent people to report it many times since the dark door opened, but I haven't received a good response, and as for you to come, it's the first time in months, and I really didn't expect you to come." ”
I looked at his face for a long time, then said slowly, "How much do you know about the hunted Night Elf?" ”
He frowned slightly, "This guy is an extremely dangerous guy, and this is the one he allowed the Blood Elves to attack. How? What do you think of? ”
"Adar didn't tell you much about him, did he?"
"You...... What do you mean? ”
"I didn't mean anything, brother." I said, "This guy's name is Illidan!" ”
