Chapter 14 - Help
…………
"What did you say? Maris was caught?" Vereesa looked at Ronin with wide eyes.
It was already evening, and at dusk, Falstad, Ronin and his party happened to rush back to Hask, and met Vereesa, Centulus and others.
Then problems arise, and a dispute inevitably arises between the two parties. Centulus sees Ronin and wants to arrest him without saying a word. But Falstad disagrees. He claims that Ronin is a witness and must be reconciled with him.
He went to the Eagle's Nest Mountain together, and the dwarf leader did not like the Paladins more than the mages, because these guys had always regarded them as barbarians. As the focus, Ronin tried his best to prevent the conflict between the two sides, and told Sen sternly
Tulus, the explosion he mentioned had nothing to do with him.
"Enough!" Vereesa shouted, quieting the endless chatter. Everyone focused on her.
"Shut up, everyone. Can we clarify the matter by arguing?" the female elf said angrily. "We must clarify the context of the whole matter. First..." She looked at Luo Ning and asked: "You
, why did you leave alone with Maris? You didn’t even say hello to me!”
"Say hello to you?" When Luo Ning heard this, he immediately became angry. "You have almost forgotten what your mission is! Only Nathanos still remembers to send me to Husk. But you,
There is still time to chat and laugh with some pretentious guy." The mage glared at Centulus, who also looked at him with the same look.
"Lord Centulus promised to escort us here, which will be safer."
"Come on, they are escorting you, not Maris and I." Ronin sneered, pointing out this fact: "I don't want to stay with these guys like a prisoner. What's more, Husker
Haven't you seen the tragic situation at the port? By the time I arrive here with them, I'm afraid my mission will have already failed!"
Vereesa was very angry. This mage was simply unreasonable. The female elf simply turned to Falstad, "Who are you, dwarf?"
"Watch your tone, elf." Falstad said angrily: "Standing in front of you is Falstad Wildhammer, the current lord of Eagle's Nest Mountain! Brother of Kurdran Wildhammer." His beard trembled.
, as if demonstrating against Vereesa.
"Why are you taking this mage to Khaz Modan."
"It was the young man named Maris. He begged me to help this guy." He pointed at Ronin and continued: "He told me a lot of stories about my brother and some other things. I was moved by him.
Only then did I agree to his request. We flew for several hours, and my gryphon was almost exhausted! We were almost there, but I didn’t expect..."
"Falstad!" Ronin interrupted him and gave him a look. The dwarf immediately shut his mouth.
"Unexpectedly, some accidents happened. Maris was caught." The mage took over and said. He did not explain who captured Nathanos, nor did he express some details clearly.
Vereesa happened to have some doubts about this, but Centurus got there first and said, "The story is well written, devil. Do you think finding a dwarf can clear your suspicion?"
"What are you talking about? How dare you confuse me with this mage!"
The two sides quarreled again and were about to draw swords at each other. At this moment, a melodious horn sounded from the forest behind them. Vereesa was very familiar with this sound, and at the same time, everyone's dispute was suspended.
"It's the horn of the ranger of Quel'Thalas." Vereesa explained. She was curious as to why such a sound appeared here. It could only mean that an elf was approaching.
There was a noise in the woods and shrubs, and a light figure jumped out and landed gracefully in front of them.
"Sister!" Vereesa couldn't believe her eyes, her second sister Sylvanas appeared here.
"Vereesa." The newly appeared female elf smiled back, but immediately put her expression away. She could tell at a glance that something was wrong. There were mages, paladins, dwarves and griffins. What's going on?
Sylvanas looked at them doubtfully, just as they looked at herself doubtfully. No one knew why a beautiful female elf appeared again.
The first one to break the silence was Vereesa, who ran over and hugged Sylvanas.
"Why are you here?"
As an elder, Sylvanas showed an unsatisfied look, "Why am I here? Vereesa, my sister. Have you forgotten that today is the deadline for you to report on the completion of your mission?"
Vereesa looked stunned, knowing in her heart that Sylvanas was here to test her progress.
"Is this the mage?" Sylvanas glanced at Ronin and nodded. "It seems that your mission has been completed. He has arrived at Hasker Port."
"That's true." Luo Ning stepped forward and approached Sylvanas with courage. The temperament of this female elf was very charming, but she felt unapproachable.
"But, beautiful lady. I just encountered misfortune, I..."
"That's your business." Sylvanas interrupted him coldly, and looked at Vereesa lovingly to make sure she was intact. "My sister just needs to send you here.
, the rest is not our business to engage in or worry about."
Luo Ning gritted his teeth. The female elf's words seemed irresponsible, but they were not wrong.
"Wait..." Sylvanas glanced again. Except for Vereesa, the person she wanted to see the most was missing.
"Where's Nathanos?"
For the second time in the past few days, Nathanos finally woke up. There was no one to greet him, only a headache and a feeling of soreness throughout his body. In front of him was a dark sky and complete silence.
There was no wind around, and Nathanos judged that he was trapped indoors, and he felt a faint heat on the stone ground. An ominous feeling came over him. Slowly and carefully, he raised his head
, looking around.
"Ah, you finally woke up...?"
who?
Luo Ning turned his head and looked to the left. In fact, he had just inspected it, but now he was surprised to see a group of black shadows gradually emerging, and then formed a hooded image.
"Who?" Nathanos muttered to himself. The dark figure in front of him was full of arrogance and confidence.
A face emerged from the hood, a deep, handsome, confident man. A noble face... at least on the surface. "Are you okay?"
Prestor Nathanos almost exhaled in surprise, but he held back! Why was Prestor here, and he...
The corners of Deathwing's thin mouth raised slightly, forming a very shallow smile, as if Nathanos's heart had been seen through. "So, do you know who I am, human?"
"It seems we have never met."
The black dragon laughed, and with his voice and the looming shadow behind him, Nathanos felt threatened for the first time. There was a smell of tar in the air, and it was an uncomfortable feeling.
"who are you?"
The surrounding shadows began to move and became dimmer. The human face became much clearer. "I have many names, one of which you must have heard of, that is Deathwing!"
"The legendary World Destroyer?" Nathanos looked at him, as if finding a dragon scale from his exposed skin to make sure he was not lying.
Black Dragon laughed and tilted his head to one side, and then continued: "I know I have chosen the right person. You don't seem too surprised by my appearance."
Because I've seen you before, Nathanos thought to himself, but didn't say it. "A human skin, what should I be surprised about?"
"Mortal friend, you are indeed smarter than the average person. I think we can have a good talk." Deathwing leaned against Nathanos and moved his chin. He didn't want the newly awakened humans to see that he couldn't restrain himself.
of excitement.
"What did you want to do by bringing me here?"
"I don't need you to do anything for me, human. On the contrary, I want to help you complete your mission."
"my task?"
"Oh, yes, your mission." Deathwing's smile elongated to a look that no human should have, and the teeth exposed were actually sharp. "Releasing the great Dragon Queen, the extraordinary Alexstad
Sa!”
Is this Ronin's mission? Nathanos understood. It seemed that Deathwing had misunderstood. But he was curious as to why only Ronin was sent to complete such a mission.
Nathanos reacted deliberately and instinctively, like Deathwing showing a surprised expression as to why he knew his true mission. If the black dragon knew that he was just a guard, he would definitely kill him.
Fortunately, the black dragon did not notice this, and instead laughed a little complacently.
"Do you know where this place is?"
Nathanos shook his head, but he roughly guessed it was somewhere like a volcano.
"This is Grim Batol."
"Grim Batol? You just said you would help me complete the mission, so..."
"Then the Red Dragon Queen will be imprisoned here." Deathwing moved forward, and his figure became more substantial.
The fact that Deathwing can change human form makes Nathanos very worried. Who knows what monsters like him will do among mortal races? Moreover, he knows that Deathwing has already started to spread in this way.
Evil. The noble Prestor, it seems that Terenas and the kings of the alliance are his first targets.
"Then there must be a lot of orcs around." Nathanos laughed at himself, "I simply can't do it."
"So you need me to help you." Deathwing said again.
Nathanos didn't dare to ask why he did this. He wouldn't have a good purpose anyway, and he was just his pawn.
"How can you help me?" he tried to ask.
Black Dragon replied: "You will know soon, but now you have to play a role, the role of a prisoner."
As soon as he finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and a bright rectangle appeared around the darkness, which was a door. Two strong bodies walked in, and you could tell from the way they walked that they were orcs.
"Leave it to you." Deathwing said to one of the orcs, and then he retreated to the position where he appeared, and his figure became fainter and fainter until he disappeared.
The orc looked at it for a while. Nathanos was sure that he was waiting for Deathwing to disappear. Finally, the orc with white hair and beard turned his head to give instructions to the other orc.
Nathanos was roughly pulled up from the ground. Humans originally wanted to resist. If Deathwing wasn't here, he could still deal with one or two orcs. But unexpectedly, Nathanos found that his whole body was covered with blood.
He didn't have any strength at all, he could only vaguely feel that he was recovering, something had drained all his strength away.
The old orc patted Nathanos on the shoulder and looked at him, which caused a burst of disgust from the human. Finally, the orc showed a satisfied smile.
"I'll take him to Nekros immediately. He should have the big reptile ready."
