CHAPTER 4 - THE ESSENTIAL FACTORS

…………

When Nathanos stepped into the hotel in Nanhai Town, he realized that it had been renovated. It had become...larger than before, but more deserted. There was only one table of people in the hotel, and those people

He looked like a member of the Knights of the Silver Hand. When Nathanos first came in, he was stared at by those people in a strange way, which made him very depressed, but he still managed a smile at those people.

, and then took Lilas and Nat to sit down opposite the door. His attention was attracted, and he knew two of those people. Alexandros Mograine and

Tirion Fordring, Lord of Hearthglen. Interestingly, Mograine was holding a box in his hand. It was unknown what was in it, but he looked very careful. Nathanos was wondering if he was

He missed a good show, what happened here just now? At the same time, he also cared about the other four people. They all wore Lordaeron's robes, two men looked like priests, and there was a man who was full of blood.

A man with a strong magical aura, and a young woman with burgundy hair standing to the left of Tirion.

'It looks like Nanhai Town is very lively today! Many big shots are here.'

Lilas watched Nathanos sit down with only a cup and free boiled water. Not only did he feel that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, he coughed twice and spoke first: "Let me introduce him, he is my friend Nat.

Pug, a fishing expert. This is Nathanos Maris, my...my sister's lover." Lilas did not mention which sister it was here, because he only knew it from the trail.

I heard that a Windrunner in Quel'Thalas fell in love with a human named Nathanos.

"Uh...Hello!" Nat Pagle politely stretched out his hand, waiting for Nathanos to respond to him. The other man took a large amount of the cup before extending his hand to avoid embarrassment to Nat.

The receptionist at the hotel placed some freshly baked bread with honey in front of them, followed by some desserts and the seafood that Nanhai Town is famous for. While eating, Nathanos did not speak until they had a full meal.

After a pause, he spoke: "Nat Pagle?"

"Yes...this is my name."

"Are you a native of Lordaeron?"

Nat shook his head, "I am a Gilnean, but I like Lordaeron." He smiled. Nathanos wanted to find the flaw in his expression, but he didn't know whether this guy was a good actor or something.

, Nathanos did not smell a trace of lies.

"The mountain horses of Gilneas are very good."

“Lordaeron’s pancakes are also pretty good.”

The two smiled at each other. Nathanos turned his eyes to Liras and said directly: "It's your turn, answer the question I just asked."

The elf almost spat out the snack he had just stuffed into his mouth. He wiped his mouth, "Okay..." while speaking, he wiped off the debris on his trousers, "I will explain, um... let me think about it.

Where to start?”

"The fire eight years ago, when Quel'Thalas was attacked by the Red Dragon Legion." Nathanos helped him recall. Lilas disappeared at that time, and he had been gone for so many years. If it hadn't been for Or

Lelia showed him the portrait of Liras, and he was afraid that he would miss this guy today.

"Yes, I remember. The fire was very fast, and there were many red dragons spitting flames in the sky. I was fishing by the river, and then... I happened to meet the troll when I was escaping. Fortunately, I escaped

I couldn't get up without being discovered." He wiped his forehead and looked ugly, as if he was experiencing such a disaster at the moment. "In the end, I had no choice but to jump into the river, escape the flames, and escape from Quill.

Silas."

Jumping into the river? What a joke! Nathanos tapped his left index finger on the table carelessly, and Liras's nonsense made him a little angry. He had personally experienced how terrifying the red dragon's flames were, and the temperature could make the river boil.

"You plan to explain it to your sister like this then?"

As soon as he said these words, Lilas completely lost his confidence.

"I don't want to go back."

"What?" Nathanos began to get annoyed, and even wanted to get angry the next second, but he chose to give Lilas a chance to explain.

"I don't want to go back. In Quel'Thalas, I didn't have the right to choose what to do, but here, I can do whatever I want."

Nathanos blinked, "Does staying in your hometown restrict your freedom?"

"Yes!" Lilas slapped his hands on the table, and he almost jumped up angrily. However, he suppressed his excitement, and played with his long hair in disgust.

Fa, "You simply don't understand, in the Tower of Windrunner, there! There are only two roads in front of me, ranger or mage, my mother and my sister, whether it is Alleria or Hill

Vanas and even Vereesa always remind me of my responsibilities as a Windrunner. What I will do in the future and who I will become are all arranged by my last name. I am like a slave.

"He tensed up, "I can't have as good a consciousness as my three sisters. Maybe I'm not born qualified to be a person respected by thousands of people." When Lilas said this, his face had softened.

After a while, I vented out the dissatisfaction that had been accumulated for a long time, and then my eyes showed that I was ready and it was time to go back!

"Your family has been worried about you for eight whole years!" Nathanos said to him in a scolding tone.

"Yes." Lilas nodded, "I can't face them, whether it's for my country or my family."

"Then be mentally prepared before going back." Nathanos stood up.

"What?" Liras looked at him in surprise, unable to say a word, but Nathanos didn't give him any explanation and walked straight out of the hotel. Wasn't he here to take him back? Liras

He asked questions for him in his heart, but it was a pity that the other party couldn't hear him.

On the contrary, Nathanos also knows what Lilas is thinking, and at this moment he is also hesitating whether his decision is right or not. Should he take Lilas back? Of course he should, Alleria found him

For so many years, he has been dreaming of the day when his family will be reunited. But what will happen after Lilas returns to Quel'Thalas? Will he stay in Yongsong Forest honestly? The answer is no, as he said himself

In that case, he has no right to choose there, and he is likely to choose to leave again. It is just a matter of time. In this case, what is the point of taking him back?

Nathanos sighed. He still chose his own idea, but Alleria would not agree. He was now considering how to explain this matter to the female elf...

In the evening, when Leryan arrived, Nathanos had already written a letter and was just waiting to send it to Quel'Thalas when he returned. But at this moment, looking at the friend he hadn't seen for a long time, he felt deeply in his heart

He was very happy, and Llayan also brought a dwarf. Like him, this dwarf wore silver-white armor. The only difference was that there was no blue "L" logo of Lordaeron on the chest of the armor.

"You are so slow." Nathanos sat opposite Lelane. He had been to the hotel in Southsea Town during the day, but the people he faced were no longer the same.

"I'm busy with official duties, and they're all temporary. I don't want to either!" Lerain explained, and then introduced: "Let's meet my new friend. This is Beagle, my colleague."

"Hello!" The bronze-skinned dwarf grinned and shook hands with Nathanos. It was two or three years ago that the ranks of the Paladins began to accept other races. At that time, it was led by Uther and

Tirion personally conducted the promotion ceremony for a high elf. However, this also attracted a lot of opposition. Some people believed that only humans were worthy of using the Holy Light, which did not affect the development of this situation. Next, there are more

Many dwarves and elves became paladins.

"I have long admired you, Lord Nathanos. Lyraine has told me many things about you."

"Really? I really hope he's not talking nonsense."

All three people laughed, adding a cheerful atmosphere to the night. They talked about many topics, some pleasant and some unpleasant.

"The situation in Lordaeron seems not to be very good recently?"

"What's wrong?" Nathanos took a sip of the local wine, still tasting the residual taste in his mouth.

"There are many things you should know. For example, there are complaints about His Majesty the King from all over the country. Many people are overwhelmed by the damn taxes. They also say that His Majesty the King's imposition of heavy taxes to promote economic development is a foolish dream."

Nathanos disagreed with this view. The reason was very simple, because those taxes were used to pay for the orc prisoner-of-war camps. Moreover, what Nathanos did not say was that Terenas would be killed next month.

Raise taxes again.

"Terenas seems to have changed since the war." It was Beagle who said this, and he didn't need to call him the king. "It has become different. It seems to have gotten older, and it happened overnight.

He's getting old. But his son will become a good king one day." He changed the topic and laughed. But Lerain didn't look good on him.

"You mean Prince Arthas?" Leryan's rather dissatisfied tone aroused Nathanos' curiosity. He wanted to know what other people thought of this prince.

"I'm telling you, I heard that he seems to spend all his time pursuing Proudmoore's daughter. Much more time than he spends on state affairs!"

Beagle put away his smile and nodded, "I'm not sure, but I remember that today is the day he became a Paladin."

"Oh! God! I really don't know if it's right to drag a favored prince into the Knights of the Silver Hand. Maybe he is wearing armor at the banquet now, holding a wine glass in his hand..." Lelayne said.

, and began to make such movements in his hands, "Then accept the blessings from those celebrities and distinguished guests..."

"Maybe there are girls secretly spying on him, imagining themselves as the princess of Lordaeron."

"Yes, that's right. There are also some businessmen who will please him and then start discussing cooperation with the future king."...

The two people talked more and more passionately. Nathanos did not stop them, but leaned helplessly on the bench. In his mind, he tried to find a reason to defend Arthas. Leryan said it well, he had listened to it a long time ago.

They talked about Arthas' pursuit of Jaina Proudmoore, but it didn't seem to go well because the two people seemed to have absolutely different opinions on a topic. As for what it was, Nathanos didn't ask, and he never did.

Take the initiative to ask the prince what he thinks. King Terenas is also very concerned about what is going on between his children and Proudmoore's daughter. If this can be done, then Lordaeron and Kul Tiras will be in harmony.
