Chapter 83: Varian
In three days, in just three days, Van Cleef turned Winter Village into a huge construction site.
Compared to the movements made by Van Cleef and the group of craftsmen, the previous construction work in Winter Village was simply the level of children and mud.
Looking at the entire area north of Winter Village with various signs planted in the land, and many people digging pits, David had a clearer idea of what the Azerothians were capable of doing.
"I've heard that Winter Village is about to be upgraded to Winter Town, and I think I'm more than capable of being the Archon of Winter Town." Sheldon stood in front of Davy and stared at David with eager eyes: "I promise to keep Winter Town in order." ”
"I'm sure you can do that." With Sheldon's obsessive-compulsive disorder, if he was the consul of Winter Town, he would indeed keep everything in order, but at that time, the people in Winter Town almost wanted to kill Sheldon, the consul: "If you want to be the consul of Winter Town, there is a problem that cannot be ignored. ”
"What?"
"Are you ready to quit your job at college? And then move to Wintertown to settle down? ”
"Uh......" Sheldon thought only for a few seconds, and felt that his ability was completely balanced: "It's not a problem, I can run at both ends." ”
"However, as an archon, you must be stationed in Winter Town for a long time to ensure that you can give timely instructions in case of emergency." David knows Sheldon's temper, this guy doesn't seem to be young, but many times it's just a child's temper, it's useless to reject him directly, he will use all kinds of reasons to make you speechless.
At such a time, it is necessary to follow his temper, such as first recognizing his ability, and then asking some irrefutable objective questions, and he himself will say the reasons for not being able to serve as an archon, and the matter will be over.
After a few words made Sheldon realize that it was unrealistic for him to serve as the consul, David gave a piece of candy at the right time: "However, I would like Dr. Cooper to serve as the chief scientific advisor to Winter, and provide all kinds of valuable scientific advice for the development of Wintertown." ”
"I am honored to accept this invitation."
After appeasing Sheldon, David glanced at Van Cleef, who was directing the craftsmen not far away, and suddenly remembered that Sheldon had been pestering Van Cleef before, why didn't he go to the former leader of the Defia Brotherhood today: "You don't go to Edwin today?" You've mastered all the techniques of assassination? ”
At the mention of this matter, Sheldon, who was originally in high spirits, instantly wilted: "No...... I don't think the Way of the Assassins is for me. ”
Although reluctant, Sheldon could only admit that he couldn't learn the things that Van Cleef had taught him - let alone the skills of perceiving the shadows and integrating himself into the shadow and the real world, he couldn't even get started with the most basic skills.
"Don't be discouraged, if you can't be an assassin, you can consider learning something else."
It was just a word of comfort, but it brought Sheldon back to life: "Do you think I can be a good hunter?" I'm still very talented in bows and arrows. ”
"Oh? Do you know archery? ”
"WELL, ON THE WII."
“……”
David said, 'What the hell am I expecting?' With a speechless expression, he turned his head to look at Ferdin, who was waving to him in the distance: "I have some things to deal with, Sheldon, do you still have something?" ”
"No, I don't have anything to do, I can go with you."
"......" David was stunned for a moment, and shook his head helplessly, this is indeed Sheldon's brain circuit, and he can only remind him: "It's okay to go together, but don't be too excited next." ”
"Why am I so excited?" Sheldon, who was moving southeast with David, immediately guessed something: "Who are you going to meet?" Is it someone I know? ”
"It's someone you know, and you can't talk about it with the rest of the villagers, especially the craftsmen from the Brotherhood." David believes in Sheldon's ability to keep secrets, and he doesn't usually take the initiative to communicate with 'strangers'. It doesn't matter if you're showing off with your friends: "Leonard, they can tell ...... Maybe you can get a game back with Leonard. ”
"Oh, Davy~ I suddenly felt that it was the right thing to do to accept your invitation." Sheldon smiled very happily, and when he saw Fordin, he had already guessed a few candidates, and his face was not only happy but also excited and expectant.
By the time he followed David and Furding half around the south side of the village to the banks of the Winter River, and met two men wearing cloaks and hoods to hide their faces, he had begun to lose control of his curiosity, and the feeling of scratching his lungs was like waiting in line to see the sequel to his favorite movie.
"Varian Wrynn, King of Stormwind."
One of them lifted his hood to reveal his true face, although there were slight differences, but with Ferding to lead the way, plus knowing that Ferding was in the territory of the Stormwind Kingdom, Sheldon had already circled the names of several possible people, so he immediately recognized the other party after seeing him. Moreover, Varian's styling is very recognizable.
"Is this the prophet you are talking about?" Varian looked at Sheldon, who was tall and thin, dressed in strangely heavy clothes, and only thought that this young man was strange, and he was not at all the same thing as the prophet he expected.
"No, this is David, the prophet you mentioned to you, Your Majesty." After some contact, Ferding already knew Sheldon as a person, and although this person was a little strange, he was actually a very good person: "This is Sheldon Cooper. ”
"Hello, Venerable Prophet." Varian maintained enough respect for David, although his own men objected when he received a reply from Verding that David was willing to see him.
Having just experienced the conspiracy of the Black Dragon, the high-ranking people of the Stormwind Kingdom are worried that this is another conspiracy against Stormwind City, even if the famous Paladin Ferding is present, they are not willing to let their king go to an unknown place alone to meet some prophet who has never heard of it at all.
However, Varian insisted on coming, and everyone had to decide to send someone to protect him, and this difficult task fell to the Duke of Stormwind, who had committed many mistakes in the matter of the Black Dragon Princess, and now urgently needed to make some credit to dispel His Majesty's bad impression of his own family, and at the same time he was strong enough to be strong enough to do so.
This kind of trip to an unknown territory to meet an unknown prophet is to consider the paladin's strong 'protection and medical ability', so he chose the strongest paladin in Stormwind City, Bovar Vortagen.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Majesty the King of the Stormwind Kingdom." David only nodded slightly, he was not a subject of the Stormwind Kingdom, not even a native of Azeroth, and the two of them were meeting on an equal footing this time, so there was no need to go out of their way to salute Varian.
Later, Fording introduced David to Boval Furtagan who was pestled next to him.
After introducing each other, David and Varian looked at each other.
In David's eyes, Varian is his familiar appearance, but the temperament of Varian in front of him is more 'gentle', without the experience of becoming a gladiator with amnesia, Varian's violent side has not completely exploded, but considering some of Varian's decisions, maybe it is better to hide.
In Varian's eyes, David in front of him was just a very handsome young man, although the other party's figure could not be considered thin, but in the eyes of Azeroth's top warriors, it was not related to the word strong.
Considering that Foding introduced this David as a prophet, then it means that the person in front of him is a powerful spellcaster who holds some kind of mysterious power.
After looking at each other for a full minute, David was the first to break the silence: "Your Majesty wants to see me, what is it for?" ”
"Just call me Varian." Varian lowered his posture: "I heard Tirio say that you have 'seen' through the conspiracy of the Black Dragon Princess, and you have also 'seen' the impending disaster that will befall the kingdom of Lordaeron. ”
David glanced at Fordin, one of the most powerful paladins in Azeroth, looking up at the sky as if there was something new in the clear sky where there were no clouds.
"I did 'see' something." David did see those things and participated in them in a special way, but these details don't need to be mentioned.
Varian took a deep breath, the cold air calmed his slightly upwelling blood, and Varian finally asked the question he wanted to know, which was the real reason why he came to Davy on purpose: "So will the Kingdom of Stormwind encounter any disasters that are enough to bring down the kingdom like the Kingdom of Lordaeron did next?" ”
David looked at Varian with a serious face, and gave a positive answer very happily: "The Stormwind Kingdom will be one of the centers of the vortex for many years to come. ”
When he agreed to meet Varian, he roughly guessed what question Varian would ask, and thought about how to answer: just tell the truth.
If he didn't want to reveal anything, he just refused to meet with Varian, who couldn't find it himself.
Therefore, David made up his mind to let the people of Azeroth feel the power of spoilers: "The conspiracy of the Black Dragon Princess is just a prologue, don't forget that Onexia will stay in the Stormwind Kingdom, and the mastermind behind it is Deathwing." ”
Perhaps thinking that this kind of crisis, which can be imagined with a little brain, is not enough to deter Varian, David let go a little bit of surprise: "In addition, Archbishop Benedictas is not trustworthy. ”
“……”
As David expected, Varian and the people of Stormwind could think of the threat of Deathwing, but what about Benedictas? Isn't this the Archbishop of the Holy Light? Could it be that even the most trustworthy of the Light has become an enemy?
