Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 47 46. Anduin Lothar's Invitation

Boo Laike had a good night's sleep.

Although the time was quite short, the carriage stopped in the outer part of the small town of Steinblad, on an inconspicuous street. After the carriage stabilized, Braike jumped off and pulled his face covering towel.

In front of him was a group of heavily armed knights in heavy armor.

Their war horses were placed on the periphery, each tall, wearing full-face helmets, and blue military cloaks wrapped around their bodies.

They carry huge two-handed swords on their backs, or long halberds that are more suitable for horse warfare. They look well-trained and full of strength.

"Warriors, please follow us."

A knight of some status, probably in his thirties, stepped forward and made a "please" gesture to Laike, and other knights lifted Nathanos off the stretcher.

Bu Laike resisted the idea of ​​throwing a scout to the knight captain in front of him.

After all, the muscular man in front of him is not easy to mess with at first glance, and in the current situation, anyone with few brains can guess that there must be a big person staying here.

Good guy.

Not just the street in front of me.

The entire small town may have been cordoned off by the soldiers, and when Laike got out of the car, he felt the vibration of shadows in the surrounding night.

There are plenty of "peers" lurking in the shadows.

The pirate took a sneaky glance at higher places by moving his body. Around this inconspicuous hotel, on those commanding heights, there were soldiers with muskets standing guard.

He also saw several slender figures that resembled high elf rangers.

the defense strength

It's kind of scary.

The knight with the rank of colonel walked into the hotel with Bo Laike.

Around the dozen or so tables on the first floor of the hotel, there were heavy armored knights resting, and before they set foot on the stairs to the second floor, a bald old knight stretched out his hand towards Laike with a blank expression.

"Hand over your weapons."

He said something businesslike.

The knight colonel leading the way obediently took off his epee and put it aside, then drew the knight's long sword from his waist and handed it to his companion, then looked at Bu Laike.

The pirate shrugged.

Passed the blade fist, then the one-handed dagger of the smiting blade, and took out the dwarven musket from his arms, and untied the ammunition bag from his waist, and it was not over.

He took out three small daggers that were used as throwing knives from his belt, then bent down, pulled out two daggers from his trouser boots, and finally pulled them lightly behind his collar.

Two needle-like weapons were also taken out.

"What's in the sleeve, take it out."

The bald old knight looked at Bo Laike expressionlessly, like a tattered king, he took out weapons from various places, and added a sentence at the end, making the pirate curl his lips.

This is meeting a master.

The bald knight in front of him must have rich experience in dealing with thieves.

Bo Laike took out the pack of glitter powder that Shaw had given him from his sleeve, threw it into the hands of the old knight, patted his magic luggage again, and said:

"There's a lot more in here, do you want to take them all out?"

"You are here, can you still open the magic suitcase?"

These words made the old knight raise his head, glanced at Laike, and said something in a low tone. Only then did the pirate realize the problem, and he tried to take something out of his bag.

But he found that the magic power on the luggage was blocked, which was the first time he encountered such a situation.

There must be a mage here!

"Okay, warrior, come with me."

Seeing that all the weapons had been taken away, the Colonel Knight said something softly, his attitude was very gentle, and he was not overbearing. Laike nodded and pulled the veil again.

He didn't take it to heart.

The current situation has already made it clear that there are quite important people upstairs. In connection with what Ms. Passonia said before, it is not difficult to guess that Marshal Lothar should be upstairs.

Sir Anduin Lothar, this is the soul of the alliance's military strategy in this decisive battle between humans and orcs.

Commander of the Human Alliance.

This Grand Marshal is also the last blood descendant of Emperor Thoradin left in the world. It is a heritage of 2,800 years. He is also the regent of the Stormwind Kingdom in exile in the northern border.

Such diverse and important identities deserve such protection.

To be honest, Laike still has a little anticipation in his heart. This is almost the highest status and most legendary existence he has ever met since he entered this world.

Is he really a bald old man in the Mediterranean as recorded in the background of the game?

It's really exciting.

Before he reached the second floor, when he was close to the exit of the stairs, Bu Laike heard a burst of laughter and conversation. There were a lot of people, and he could tell that the loudest laughter belonged to Muradin Bronzebeard.

There is also a lower one, which belongs to Ms. Passonia.

"Why did you come here?"

When Bo Laike walked up to the second floor, Shaw, who had changed into a noble hunting suit, was already waiting for him there.

In the small room next to him, Halduron Brightwing, a ranger from a prominent family in Quel'Thalas, could be seen also arranging his clothes in front of the mirror.

The ranger took off his chain armor and changed into a fiery red elven noble robe.

I'm combing my hair.

whispering sound.

It really is an elf.

Whenever possible, appearance and demeanor should be the first priority, which is really pompous.

"They sent Maris to the next room for treatment, and I stayed there for a while."

Bu Laike replied, Xiao Er nodded, Maris looks like this, it is really not suitable to meet now.

"Your clothes are not good."

Shaw frowned, looked at Bo Laike in front of him, still wearing an assassin leather armor, wearing a face scarf and a long hood, he said:

"There are still dresses in the room, go and change them.

Marshal Lothar didn't care about the dress of the soldiers, he was quite easy-going and respected the soldiers, but there was also a king himself, and Archmage Antonidas was also present.

and other envoys of the king, who, in this regard, have some

Anyway, it's Grandmother who wants to make your debut a bit more dignified, after all, you did act a hero tonight. "

"Ok?"

When Bu Laike heard this, he immediately raised his head, glanced at the room, and asked in a whisper:

"The emissary of Kul Tiras is here?"

"Well, His Majesty Dai Lin sent his most trusted knight, His Excellency Cyrus, to represent him. That His Majesty is now commanding his fleet, chasing orc ships in the northern waters."

Xiao Er also replied in a low voice:

"Marshal Lothar invited him, but he didn't come, we can all understand, His Majesty Dai Lin, after all, he just lost his son, he"

"I know, I survived that naval battle."

Bo Laike took a step back.

He glanced at the conference room in the center on the second floor, shook his head, and said to Xiao Er:

"Apologize to Lady Passonia for me, but tonight, I must betray her kindness, before I can fulfill my sworn vengeance for my companion, my prince.

I am ashamed to meet people from my hometown! "

"You don't have to!"

Xiao Er glanced back and discouraged:

"You assassinated a legendary orc tonight, even the harshest person has no right to accuse you of fleeing back then, and I also know about the Kaz Modan naval battle.

I have seen the battle report.

That's not a tragedy you can turn around alone. "

"I don't want to go, and I can't, Shaw."

Bo Laike sighed.

He raised his head, and for the first time in front of Xiao Er, he pulled his face covering away. The severe burns on his face and the scalp that had just grown hair shocked Xiao Er.

"This 'honor' will frighten those big shots."

The pirate showed a regretful and terrifying smile, and put on his long hood and face mask again. He took another step back, opened his hands, and said jokingly:

"You go, Shaw. You go to represent the three of us. I'll go and see what's going on in Nathanos. I don't like this kind of banquet at all. I'm a rude person.

You know.

Thank your grandmother for your kindness for me, I appreciate it.

But as she taught, it is not good for an assassin to be too famous. "

After speaking, Bo Laike turned and walked down the stairs.

The knight colonel did not stop him.

He also saw the terrible face of Boo Laike just now, he followed behind Boo Laike, watching him take back his weapon in silence, and sent him to the door of the hotel.

He looked at Bo Laike and said softly:

"Before, my subordinates said that the three of you had done great things. I still didn't believe it. After all, you looked too young. But now, I believe it."

Colonel Knight smiled and said:

"I can't imagine what kind of disaster you have experienced, but after going through that kind of pain, not only did you not get knocked down, but you returned to the battlefield to challenge powerful enemies.

You are indeed a worthy warrior.

I apologize for my earlier slight, warrior. "

The knight, taking off his gauntlets, held out his hand towards Bo Laike.

He said very seriously:

"My name is Alfred Abedis, the adjutant of Duke Alexandros Mograine. It is my honor to fight side by side with you in this war!"

"Abbendis?"

A question mark popped up in Bu Laike's mind.

But he didn't hesitate in his actions, and he stretched out his hand and held the hand in front of him, saying:

"I'm just a deserter, but you are the real heroes. I wish you success in your battle, Colonel. Maybe next time we meet, you will already be a general.

But I have a question, has an excellent knight like you not been absorbed into the Knights of the Silver Hand? "

"Your news is well-informed."

Colonel Abedis laughed and said:

"The paladins just appeared on the hilly battlefield a month ago, but you assassins already know the news of the establishment of the Knights of the Silver Hand.

My baptism will be next month. If you are lucky enough to meet again, Orc Slayer, I will treat you to a glass of wine next time as a paladin. "

"I'm looking forward to it, Colonel, no, the future General Abedis."

Bu Laike responded with a smile, then waved his hands smartly, turned and walked towards the resting place of Maris, where he planned to sleep.

He will leave early tomorrow morning and go to Alterac. He has not forgotten that he still has a small errand to finish with Auriden Perenolde.

In a sense.

This small job was the real starting point of his career as an assassin.

However, when he really waited until the next morning, Bu Laike received a news that could not be said to be bad or good.

In the morning sun, he looked at a commendation order handed over by Shaw, which also had the autograph of Marshal Lothar and the seals of the Seven Kingdoms.

It just came with the commendation order and an invitation.

"What? Marshal Lothar invited me to the Royal City of Lordaeron?"

Bu Laike looked at Shore in front of him, who nodded.

Say:

"It's not just you, Maris, I, Captain Bright Wing, Master Farad, and others have all been invited. The assassination of Chief Burning Blade is important news of victory.

The Marshal asked us to go to the city of Lordaeron to inspire courage among our people, and this time you don't have to show your face, you just need to go there. "

Shaw patted Bu Laike on the shoulder and said:

"Don't say no.

The Marshal heard about you, and specially arranged for you to meet with Pope Fao. Although your burns are serious, a powerful priest like the Pope should be able to heal you. "

"But that's what I'm afraid of! After they know my identity, Dai Lin, that bad old man, will definitely kill me with his own hands.

It is impossible for the Proudmoore family to tolerate the existence of a pirate prince with ties to Hell. "

The pirate groaned inwardly.

He was about to say no.

But suddenly thinking about it, his eyes rolled, and he smiled again, saying:

"Ok."

"The Marshal's invitation, if I refuse again, it will appear that I am too arrogant, I will go with you."
