Chapter 83 Varian
Three days, in just three days, Van Cleef turned Cold Winter Village into a huge construction site.
Compared to the noise made by Van Cleef and this group of craftsmen, the previous construction work in Lindong Village was as small as children and mud.
Looking at the various signs planted on the entire area north of Cold Winter Village, and many people digging pits hard, David had a clearer understanding of the working capabilities of these Azerothians.
"I heard that Cold Winter Village is about to be upgraded to Cold Winter Town, and I think I can be the consul of Cold Winter Town." Shelton stood in front of David, staring at David with longing eyes: "I guarantee that Cold Winter Town can be managed in an orderly manner."
"I believe you can do this." With Sheldon's level of obsessive-compulsive disorder, if he served as the consul of Winter Town, everything would indeed be in order, but at that time, the people in Winter Town almost wanted to Sheldon, the consul, is about to be hacked to death: "If you want to be the consul of Cold Winter Town, there is a problem that cannot be ignored."
"What?"
"Are you going to quit your job at the university? And move to Wintertown?"
"Um..." Shelton thought for a few seconds, feeling that his abilities could take care of both: "It's not a problem, I can run both ways."
"But as a consul, he must be stationed in Cold Winter Town for a long time to ensure timely instructions in case of emergencies." David knows Sheldon's temper. This guy looks not young, but he is often a A child has a temper, it is useless to refuse him directly, he will pester you with various reasons that make you speechless.
In this case, it is necessary to follow his temper. For example, first recognize his ability, and then ask some irrefutable objective questions. Let him himself say the reason why he cannot be the consul, and the matter is over.
After a few words made Sheldon realize that it was unrealistic for him to be the consul, David gave another piece of candy in a timely manner: "However, I really hope that Dr. Cooper can serve as the chief scientific advisor of Rinwinter Town. The development of Wintertown provided all kinds of valuable scientific advice."
“I am honored to accept this invitation.”
Comforting 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 Defias Brotherhood today? The former leader said, "Aren't you going to find Edwin today? Have you already mastered all the skills about assassins?"
Mentioning this matter, Sheldon, who was originally in high spirits, instantly withered: "No... I don't think the way of an assassin is suitable for me."
Although he was very reluctant, facing the hard facts, Sheldon could only admit that he could not learn the things Van Cleef taught—let alone feel the shadows, integrate himself into the interlayer between the shadows and the real world. Skills, he couldn't even get started with the most basic skills.
"Don't be discouraged, you can consider learning other things if you can't become an assassin."
It was just a consolation, but it brought Sheldon back to life with full blood: "Do you think I can become an excellent hunter? I am still very talented in bows and arrows."
"Oh? Do you know archery?"
"Well, on the Wii."
"..."
David was like 'what am I expecting? ’ With a speechless expression, he turned his head and looked at Fording who was beckoning to him in the distance: "I have some things to deal with, Sheldon, do you have anything else?"
"No, I have nothing to do, I can go with you."
"..." David froze for a moment, then shook his head helplessly. This was indeed Sheldon's brain circuit, so he could only remind him: "It's okay to go together, but don't be too excited next time."
"Why am I so excited?" Sheldon, who was moving southeast with David, immediately guessed: "Who are you going to meet? Someone I know?"
"It's someone you know. You can't tell this matter to other villagers in the village, especially the craftsmen from the Brotherhood." David believed in Sheldon's ability to keep secrets, and he would not take the initiative to talk to "strangers" to communicate. It doesn't matter if you show off with those few friends: "Leonard and the others can tell... Maybe you can win the game with Leonard."
"Oh, David~ I suddenly felt that accepting your invitation was the right thing to do." Sheldon smiled very happily. After seeing Fording, he had already guessed a few candidates, and besides being happy, there was also a smile on his face. Excited and looking forward to.
"Varian Wrynn, King of Stormwind."
One of them lifted his hood to reveal his true face. Although there were some differences, but with Fording leading the way, and knowing that Fording was in the Kingdom of Stormwind, Sheldon had already delineated several possible names, so seeing Recognize each other immediately after arriving in person. Moreover, Varian's shape is very recognizable.
"Is this the prophet you mentioned?" Varian looked at Sheldon, who was tall and thin and wearing strange and heavy clothes, and felt that this young man was weird, and he was completely different from the prophet he expected.
"No, this is David, the prophet I mentioned to your majesty." After a period of contact, Fording has already understood Sheldon's character. Although this person is a bit strange, he is actually a Nice guy: "This is Sheldon Cooper."
"Hello, respected prophet." Varian maintained enough respect for David, although when he received Fording's reply that David was willing to see him, his subordinates expressed their opposition.
Having just experienced the black dragon's conspiracy, the upper echelons of the Stormwind Kingdom are worried that this is another conspiracy against Stormwind City. Even if the famous Paladin Fording is present, they are unwilling to let their king go to an unknown place alone. Meet a prophet you've never heard of.
But Varian insisted on coming, so everyone could only decide to send someone to guard him. This difficult task fell to the fact that he made many mistakes on the issue of the Black Dragon Princess. Now he urgently needs to make some contributions to eliminate His Majesty's bad impression of his family. , and at the same time his own strength is also strong enough on the Duke of Stormwind, Bolvar.
This kind of meeting with an unknown prophet in an unknown area is because of the powerful "protective and medical capabilities" of the paladins, so he chose the strongest paladin in Stormwind, Bolvar-Fortagan.
"Nice to meet you, Your Majesty the King of the Stormwind Kingdom." David just nodded slightly. He is not a subject of the Stormwind Kingdom, nor is he even a native of Azeroth. Salute to Varian specifically.
Afterwards, Fording introduced Bolvar Fortagen, who was next to him, to David.
After introducing each other, David and Varian looked at each other.
In David's eyes, Varian is the same as he is familiar with, but the Varian in front of him has a more 'gentle' temperament. Without the experience of losing his memory and becoming a gladiator, Varian's violent side has not completely exploded Come out; but considering some of Varian's decisions, maybe it's just better to hide it.
In Varian's eyes, David in front of him was just a very handsome young man. Although his figure was not thin, in the eyes of Azeroth's top fighters, it had nothing to do with the word strong.
Considering that Fording introduced David as a prophet, it means that the one in front of him is a powerful spellcaster who possesses some kind of mysterious power.
After looking at each other for a full minute, David was the first to break the silence: "Why does Your Majesty want to see me?"
"You can just call me Varian." Varian lowered his posture: "I heard Tirion say that you've seen' broken the plot of the Black Dragon Princess, and you've also 'saw' to Lordaeron The impending calamity of the Kingdom."
David glanced at Fording, one of the most powerful paladins in Azeroth, looking up at the sky at the moment, as if there was something new in the clear sky without even a cloud.
"I did 'see' some things." 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, and the cold air calmed his surging blood a little bit. Varian finally asked the question he really wanted to know, which was the real reason why he ran to find David on purpose: "Then, will the Kingdom of Stormwind encounter any disasters that can destroy the kingdom like the Kingdom of Lordaeron?"
David looked at Varian with a serious face, and happily gave an affirmative answer: "The Kingdom of Stormwind will be one of the centers of the vortex for many years to come."
When he agreed to meet Varian, he roughly guessed what questions Varian would ask, and he also thought about how to answer: just tell the truth.
If he didn't want to reveal anything, he could simply refuse to meet Varian, and Varian couldn't find him himself.
Therefore, David made up his mind to let the people of Azeroth feel the power of spoilers: "The plot of the black dragon princess is just a prelude, don't forget that Onyxia will stay in the Kingdom of Stormwind, the mastermind behind the scenes It's Deathwing."
Maybe feeling that this kind of crisis that can be thought of with a little brainstorming is not enough to deter Varian, David made a little bold statement: "In addition, Archbishop Benedictus is not trustworthy."
"..."
As David expected, Varian and everyone in Stormwind could think of the threat of Deathwing, but what happened to Benedictus? Isn't this Archbishop Shengguang? Could it be that even the most trustworthy Holy Light has become an enemy?
