Chapter 303: Facing the smear

At this moment, Michaela, who had just arrived at the Cenarion Fortress, did not know about the high-level meeting, and he also took Marlenia to familiarize himself with the situation inside the fortress first, and at the same time followed Forrest Gump to find his brother, which can be regarded as meeting new friends.

At this time, the Cenarion Fortress was completely different from the last time Michaela came to Silishus.

At that time, the so-called fortress could only be regarded as ruins, but the remains of the battle of quicksand thousands of years ago, and there were even the existence of the ghosts of the night elves in it.

Now, with the Cenarion Council activating the legion-level portal hidden within, the council's troops have driven into the ruins, clearing the souls of the dead and renovating the ruins into the bustling fortress it is now.

The council forces that came to Silitsus knew that outnumbered people were powerful, so they openly recruited adventurers and cooperated with the goblin merchants of Garkison, resulting in the Cenarion Fortress becoming more of a fully functional city, with not only barracks and castles, but also shops, artisans, and inns.

Oh, that's good.

Michaela also noticed that Marlenia was attracted by gem beetles sold in a goblin shop, and Michaela was a little tempted to buy a few and give them to Marlenia......

"And other women."

Torina added: "Like me! ”

Cut, just talk a lot to you!

By this time, Forrest Gump had arrived at the door of an inn, where he and his brother had agreed to meet, and Michaela noticed a Forsaken Warlock standing in the doorway waiting for someone.

At the same time, Tolina's voice also testified: "Michaela, the warlock standing at the door of the inn is the same person you saw last time. ”

Michaela nodded, no wonder this person was so familiar.

"Brother, I'm here."

Sure enough, Forrest Gump walked up to the man and said, "I'll introduce you to a few new friends." ”

The man nodded and said, "Forrest Gump, we are waiting for you, so your new friend is ......"

As he spoke, Forrest Gump's brother noticed Michaela, and Michaela noticed him, and the two happened to look at each other.

"By the way, that's my brother Distel, who, as you can see, is a warlock."

Forrest Gump continued: "Brother, he is ......"

"He's Michaela, I remember him, I don't need to introduce him."

Distel said to Forrest Gump, "You can introduce Michaela to the people. ”

"Okay."

Forrest Gump said, "Her name is Malenia, and she is Michaela's sister, and the minotaur is Minodour, the hunter we met on the road. ”

Actually, Forrest Gump deliberately missed one, the succubus Melina who followed Michaela, after all, everyone is a warlock, and it is a tacit thing to keep a succubus by his side on weekdays.

As Forrest Gump finished his introduction, Michaela also stepped forward politely, stretched out her right hand to shake hands with the other party and salute.

However, Distel did not shake hands with Michaela, but said in a non-salty tone: "Michaela, I thank you for your help in Tanaris last time, but I really can't believe that an existence like you would actually come to Cenarion Fortress." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present felt that something was wrong.

Tolina jumped out directly and said, "Have you forgotten this guy?" If it hadn't been for Mikaela defeating the Sandfury Trolls last time, you'd have been everyone's lunch. Michaela, teach him a lesson! ”

Michaela didn't say anything, because the most embarrassing person at this time was Forrest Gump, and his intention was to introduce new friends to help him with his future adventures, but Distel didn't appreciate it.

"Brother, what's wrong?" No wonder Forrest Gump had to ask about the situation.

Instead of speaking, Distel turned his head to look into the hotel, from which a slender figure walked out, and at the same time brought out an astonishing sentence:

"Because Michaela is no ordinary adventurer, but the leader of Twilight's hammer!"

Mariana walked out of the hotel and appeared in front of the stunned Michaela, and shouted to the adventurers, the Sentinels of the Cenarion Council, and everyone else:

"Not long ago, it was you, Michaela, who led the forces of the Twilight Hammer to Silysus and began collecting the mysterious powers of the Wind Stone here."

Tolina immediately jumped out and said: "How can you defile people's innocence without evidence!" ”

But Michaela knows that Mariana is not without evidence, the contrary is here!

I saw Mariana pointing to Distel on the side and saying, "Because of some coincidence, my companion Distel met Michaela by chance, so I found out his identity!" ”

Distel also cooperated, "That's right, when I was working as a bodyguard for the goblin caravan, I saw Michaela leading the Twilight Hammer's troops, including Mona the Twilight Marauder, many of whom were Michaela's diehards!" ”

"Is this revenge?"

At the same time that Torina was complaining, in reality, except for Malenia and the succubus Melina, everyone else even kept their distance from Michaela even Forrest Gump and Minodall, who were traveling together.

As for the Cenarion sentries who were already standing guard in the fortress, they even picked up the swords in their hands and walked to Michaela's side.

Actually, Distel did not do anything wrong, as he did not know that Michaela led Twilight's hammer to Silisus under duress by the Dreadlord Gullentesa. From Distle's point of view, Michaela is the leader of the Twilight Hammer and is now running undercover at Cenarion Fortress.

Also, in fact, Michaela is the leader of Twilighthammer, even if he was bought......

"Stop, don't move!"

As Mariana "debunks" Michaela's old roots, the surrounding Cenarion sentinels have surrounded her, ready to arrest Michaela.

"Brother?"

Maleia looked at Michaela and wanted to get instructions from her brother, and Michaela was also thinking about what she should do.

In the spiritual world, Torina is also analyzing: "Resist, you are sitting on the identity of Twilight's hammer, if you don't resist, the next situation will be difficult to say." ”

There is a way to get more help and less help to lose the way, and at the critical moment, someone is coming

"What's going on?"

A familiar majestic figure walked over and recognized it at first sight: "Malenia! ”

It turned out to be the long-lost orc warrior Glade-Steel Axe appeared. In fact, Glade Steel Axe and his younger brother Graka Stone Axe have long been hired by the Cenarion Council to help in the war.

Now, after discovering the movement inside the fortress, Glade Steel Axe immediately came to check on it, and happened to meet Malenia!

So, he pushed through the crowd of onlookers and walked inside, and asked the sentry who was about to arrest the Michaela siblings, "What happened?" ”

A female Night Elf sentry pointed at Mariana and said, "She accuses Michaela of being an undercover agent for Twilight's Hammer, so we're going to arrest her." ”

"It can't be!"

Glade-Steelaxe said categorically, "I know them, they can't be members of the Twilight Hammer, you can't convict them on an inexplicable charge!" ”

The sentry replied, "We didn't pronounce a verdict on the crime, we just arrested him and investigated." There are allegations, and it must be investigated, and it is our duty. ”

Mariana also helped: "That's right, Michaela's identity is definitely problematic and must be investigated!" ”

Glade Steel Axe looked at Michaela and Malenia, then turned to look at Mariana on the other side, and immediately frowned at Mariana and asked:

"Who are you? You look like you're a Blood Elf like the Michaela siblings, why would you want to report your own people? ”

As soon as these words came out, Malenia may have been a little ignorant, but Michaela raised her eyebrows, and Tolina said, "Glade is good!" ”

That's right, Glade is helping Michaela, and as a straightforward orc, Glade believes in his friends, so he will definitely help to the end.

And Glade is smart.

In the face of smearing, the best countermeasure is never to prove one's innocence and useless, because everyone has some stain to a greater or lesser extent, after all, man is not a god, man is not perfect, so there must be a stain.

To sum up, the best countermeasure in the face of smear is to fight black, question the other party's behavior, question the other party's motives, and question the other party's purpose!

For example, in Glade's words, he named Mariana and Michaela as the same race, and it is obviously not normal for the same race to report the same race, which is to question Malenia's motives.

Sure enough, the sentinels hesitated.

If Michaela is really in trouble, then the Sentinel must do his duty to arrest him, but if Mariana reports Michaela for other reasons, then the Sentinel is using Michaela to arrest him.

The sentinels weren't stupid, so they didn't move.

But the fact that the sentry didn't move didn't mean that Michaela didn't react, as smart as he immediately seized the opportunity and said:

"Glade, her name is Mariana, if you read the newspaper a lot, you should ......"

Without Michaela's reminder, Glade immediately took out a copy of the "Good Night Tribe" newspaper from his pocket, flipped out the third edition of the content reprinted from the "Sunshine News" in Silvermoon City, and pointed to the headshot of the character printed on the newspaper, and asked Mariana:

"Is that the genie in the photo you?"

Without hesitation, Mariana admitted: "That's right, it was me, I was very thin at that time. ”

"Very well, you've already admitted it."

Since the other party took the bait, Glade pointed to the newspaper and said, "According to the newspaper report, Lady Malenia, you seem to want to squeeze Michaela out of your blood elf clan because you are jealous of his prestige and status. ”

In fact, after so long, the interview about Mariana in the "Sunshine News" has been reprinted by many newspapers and magazines, and many people have read it, and even the female sentinel who spoke to Glade before also said:

"I think I've seen this report."

At this moment, everyone's attention shifted to Mariana, who in the hearts of everyone, has also changed from a warrior who dares to expose the undercover agent to a villain who is jealous of the hero.

However, Mariana was not ashamed but proud, and opened her mouth to say: "Now is the era of heroes, and heroes of the previous generation like Michaela should be trampled under the feet of me, a new generation of heroes, and rolled into the garbage heap of history, is there a problem?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Distel on the side immediately covered his face with his hands, as Mariana's teammate, Distel knew her temper very well.

Michaela can be regarded as well-cultivated, and if she changes to a grumpy person, I'm afraid the film has already started.

"What's more."

Mariana continued: "Whatever my purpose for reporting Michaela, his own identity as the leader of the Twilight Hammer is a fact and cannot be questioned! ”

It was Mariana's temper that was the only one in the world that dared to speak like this in front of everyone, and even Glade was a little speechless.

It's all here, will smart people drop a few cruel words and run away, why are you still on the hard top?

"Alright, Mariana."

At that moment, Agri walked out of the inn and walked over to Mariana.

At the same time as Agri appeared, Glade's eyelids jumped slightly, and Michaela keenly noticed this!

"Honey, they bullied me!"

With the appearance of her husband, Mariana instantly turned into a cute child, hid in Agri's majestic back and began to be coquettish, such a huge change surprised everyone present.

Then, Agri looked at Glade and said the latter's name directly: "Glade, that's the end of today's business, okay?" ”

Glade didn't mean to dwell on it: "Okay, Agri, that's all for today, right?" ”

Michaela did not object, and then said: "Yes, Glade, it's time for the farce to end. ”

"Thank you."

Agri nodded to Glade and Michaela, and then dragged Mariana back to the hotel.

It looks like it's over.

But is that really the case?
