Chapter 7 The Paladin's Choice (Part 2)
As night fell, we also ended our disturbances to Ronin and Wenleza and went back together. Lying in bed, 21?? Recalling what happened today. First, Muladin's departure, I don't understand what made this dwarf know such information. Although I know that the dwarf's thick and rough skin is not afraid of the cold, it can make him abandon the luxurious life of delicious lunch and infinite spirits every day, and go to the cold north to pursue illusory things. It is definitely a strong temptation to make this dwarf who has no idea what is crooked to make such a choice, or his thinking should not have thought in a normal way.
But no matter how ridiculed you, some things must be considered.
Knowing some things, I understand that he is definitely not the ultimate goal, because I really can't imagine that Ner's lord, as a lich king, would want to have a dwarf's body. So he is just a chess piece, a chess piece that I became his slave. Maybe he has already considered me, such as those experiences that I know I should have.
As for this result, I may not be able to change it except being careful. And some things may not be avoided after all, but some things can be done better, such as I am thinking about the Paladin's affairs. I will pull my thoughts back.
There is no need to worry about the plan to save Tiriofordine. But as for the Ranger to become a Paladin, this progress is up to date. I don’t know that I can really guide Wenleza to the right path, nor do I know what she thinks about the Holy Light in her heart. Or I am just like saving Thrall in Dunholder, this is just my wishful thinking, that is, the Elven Ranger doesn’t take the Holy Light seriously at all.
But no matter what, I will continue my plan. Even if I can't create a Ranger of Light, I need to let her understand the true meaning of the Holy Light, and all this will be for something as important as the Muladin Exploration Team tomorrow...
With such thoughts, I fell asleep again...
The next morning, everything was walking on the road to the mage as yesterday. But the difference was that our partners were much more serious. And I could see that they were whispering something on the way. When we walked to a place where no one was around, Sasarian said something that worried me.
"The orcs escaped in the cellar have spread."
"Is that so? Then they suspected Luo Ning and the others and let them go?" I asked with concern, because I knew that at such moments, the residents of the royal city always got pregnant first and foreigners.
"No, they all know that the elves, especially Wenleza's hatred for the orcs is far more than us." Manic explained. "But some of them doubted whether these orcs were assassinated by her, because the cellar was full of dead orcs... Of course, this is just the smallest version circulating in the gossip."
"What do my father think?" I couldn't help but ask the questions I care most about.
"It's still under investigation, but he hasn't found out that the Hammer of Destruction has been lost, and he doesn't even think that the chief can go out alive."
Sasarian explained, but this made me feel guilty.
"Yes...he would never have thought that I was that 'raid'."
"This is not important, we believe you are right." The three of them said to me with affirmative and comforting eyes. Obviously I knew they were moved by yesterday's images "and we will keep the secret."
I couldn't help but feel excited and surprised at their change in their views on the orcs. Because this also means that the Ranger will also understand my behavior. Maybe I can't wait to see what she looks like now. So I accelerated my pace.
"It seems you are in good shape."
When we broke into the new home of the mage and the ranger again, he said to Luo Ning, and they both ignored it. Instead, they continued to stare at the scene in the crystal ball, and replied to me after a long time.
"Yes, I saw what you are worried about." Ronin replied slowly. "The Paladin made his own choice."
Instead of seeking explanation from Ronin, we looked forward and observed the story inside with our own eyes.
I saw Tyrioford, who was plainclothes, lurking near the execution ground. On the execution ground was the dying orc. Although the orc's health was not optimistic, this did not make him feel any pity for the citizens. Perhaps the stones that kept flying towards him would make him die early before being executed.
"He is very pitiful..." When this sentence was spit out in the Ranger's mouth, I was immediately surprised. I didn't expect that the orc's cold-blooded killer would now have sympathy for them. "The Paladin cannot save the orc with his own strength."
"Maybe, but he has done his best." I didn't care about the Ranger's concerns, but smiled in my heart. First, I was happy that she had changed and no longer had only hatred for orcs. Secondly, I saw those suspicious people in the crystal ball. They were tall, and except for their concerned and alert eyes, they were covered with cloth and clothing. I think these had already exposed their identities to me. And at this time, no citizen would care about the existence of such a few guys.
.....
"So, we have to pass it over and help them." Luo Ning said with great energy. "I should be able to teleport it so far."
"Didn't you ask Crasus for help?" I looked at Ronin in confusion, and heard his tone that he did not fulfill his promise to me.
"Sorry, I might anger him if I do this." Luo Ning showed a regretful look. "You don't know the hatred between them..."
Luo Ning didn't continue to talk, of course I don't have to ask about the result. But this is nothing. I believe that Orgrim, the legendary chief, can do it.
"Then don't try it." I replied to Ronin.
"But…"
Wenleisa was still asking questions, but when I pointed my finger at the masked men, the sensitive ranger quickly realized what I was talking about.
"And they."
When I pointed to the masked people, everyone realized that those orcs who were definitely not ordinary humans, but those orcs who were released by us in Lordaeron. At this time, everyone understood the plan I mentioned and the so-called redemption of those orcs.
"Is that the idea?"
"It's just part."
I answered Wenleza's doubts proudly and calmly. Wenleza did not feel disgusted with my arrogant explanation, but instead made her excited and shouted and said something that surprised me without any concealment.
"I understand why my sister fell on you."
Faced with such explicit boast, I could only become even more aggressive, so I smiled at the Ranger,
"Of course, this is not all I plan, and you will be there in the end." Obviously this is an ambiguity.
I was just trying to make a joke, but I didn't expect everyone to show seriousness, as if they believed what I just said really covered my heart.
"Well...it may be too late, my prince." Wenleza immediately recovered from shyness when she heard me teasing her like this, or he thought I shouldn't have made such a joke in front of Ronin, of course, if it was just a joke.
At this time, Luo Ning also showed doubts and vigilance to me again, but the doubts and anger expressed in his face were no different. Or I should cause him some trouble and divert his attention.
"No, I don't think it's too late. I discussed this with Luo Ning, and Luo Ning also recognized it." I turned to the mage, "I was in my room the night before yesterday, right?"
"Yes, but..." Luo Ning answered honestly again. Obviously, he didn't understand that the problem was not like this, because he or I had not explained this to Wenleza. Now the Ranger and my Paladin friends still think that my plan was the same as they thought. This means...
"Roning, you..." I saw Wen Leisa facing Luo Ninghuo for the first time. Perhaps the elf wants to beat this 'unfaithful' human being now, but the emotional frustration still makes her cry like a little woman. "I didn't expect you to betray our feelings..."
"That plan is not what you think, but..." Ronin quickly realized the seriousness of the problem. He wanted to explain it to her beloved, but her stupid mouth and the sadness of the ranger did not let him touch it. These completely overwhelmed the mage and turned to me for help. "Arsace, you should explain it to everyone."
I also know that I might be playing big this time. But I know that I have to do this, because only when her relationship is most fragile can she accept a belief. And things have been like this. I believe that no one should understand that the relationship between us is definitely not as complicated as I said. Perhaps the Ranger now understands that this is just a misunderstanding, but he just needs a step. Of course I will not give it, but I can help them or change the topic.
