After hearing the "big news" thrown out by Gianna, Old Tang Meng's heart trembled.
Angrily, he secretly complained about his negligence, but Old Tang looked puzzled and asked hurriedly:
"What is he doing in Kalimdor?"
¡¡
It has been ten years since I traveled to Azeroth.
After all, Old Tang is not a sophisticated computer, nor is he a genius with excellent memory. Ten years of frost knives and snow swords, ten years of battlefield fighting have already caused many once-familiar memories to slowly fade away.
If it weren't for the "Prophet Scroll" that records the early years that can be read in one's spare time, I'm afraid that Old Tang, a half-hearted "pseudo prophet", would have been able to control the "future" earlier than the natives of Azeroth. There is no advantage at all.
???????????????????? But Old Tang¡¯s past life has been blown away, and he is just an old player who has some understanding of the background of the story, rather than a know-it-all who knows everything. There are inevitably many omissions in the memory and understanding of many things.
Therefore, Old Tang was naturally unable to prepare everything in advance.
For example, this time I caught myself off guard
"The disappearance of Varian"
Silently lighting up a Hot Sand Consortium cigar and holding it in his mouth, Old Tang waited for Jaina's answer and began to search for the scattered memories about this matter in the depths of his mind.
Such a thing did happen in the previous game. The disappearance of this king of a country has caused a lot of uproar and uproar in the alliance. Even Old Tang, a die-hard tribal player, had heard about this "big event".
But the key thing is Old Tang¡¯s memory of this matter is limited to hearing about it!
It would be really difficult for Old Tang to tell him in detail about the ugly Yinmao
The only thing that can be determined is the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes: Black Dragon Princess Onyxia - the Countess Katrana Presto who had a relationship with Old Tang in Stormwind City!
¡¡
"Varian came to Theramore at my invitation to meet with Thrall."
While Old Tang was searching through the memories in his mind, Gianna, who was opposite with a sad face, pursed her sexy lips and pondered for a moment, then released another piece of news that surprised Old Tang:
"If everything goes well, a new peace agreement will be signed between the Alliance and the Horde!"
"pity¡¡"
"Thall? Varian?"
"Meeting?"
The female mage¡¯s unexpected answer made Old Tang raise his eyebrows. He was stunned for a long time before he recovered from the shock, and then asked in disbelief:
"Sign a peace agreement between the alliance tribes?"
"Gianna, we are old acquaintances Are you sure you are not kidding me?"
Seeing that the female mage looked a little ugly after hearing her questioning. Old Tang quickly added a few more words to avoid causing the other party's displeasure because of his subconscious questioning:
"I meanI wouldn't be surprised if Thrall was pursuing peacebut Varian"
"As far as I know, the character of this Storm King iswell, a bit impatient and tough. In addition, because of the history of the Dark Portal and the invasion of the orcs. He almost destroyed his country and his family, even if he can't praise the orcs, If you hate me so much, you won¡¯t be willing to negotiate peace with the new tribe, right?¡±
"Do you think this isreliable?"
After finishing speaking, Old Tang still couldn't help but pursed his lips in disbelief. But seeing Old Tang's attitude full of suspicion and distrust, Theramore's Queen Jaina Proudmoore's face slowly turned serious. In Old Tang's unexpected expression, she refuted with some annoyance. :
"Good, I hope you put away your prejudice!"
"Varian is a good king. He is a wise leader who truly knows how to consider his people." Jaina smoothed her blond hair that was scattered in front of her forehead, her expression was solemn, and her words were filled with anger, not like The former friend was as casual as meeting him: "I don't know how much you know about Varian, and I don't know why you are prejudiced against him"
"But as the leader of a clan, you should never judge a person's good or evil based on your imagination, and you should not let your prejudices influence your decisions and concepts!"
"You are irresponsible to your people. You are far inferior to Wa in this regard."Have a safe mind! "
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, and Old Tang was a little confused when faced with Gianna's sudden rebuke. Then a burst of fire rose in his chest. At his core, Old Tang was just a good-looking homeboy. Being humiliated and lectured by a woman, it was inevitable that he would lose his face.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Old Tang was not the kind of idiot who made trouble without reason. He took a deep breath and put the rising baby back into his stomach. At this time, Gianna, who seemed to realize that her words were a bit harsh, also softened her attitude and tone, and Wen Yan narrated to Old Tang:
"Varian is a truly wise monarch. He knows how to consider for his people. No matter what happened in the past, no matter what he has lost, the interests and safety of the people are the most important to him."
"There is indeed a deep-seated hatred between orcs and humans. For Varian, this hatred and sorrow are far more than others. His father, King of Rhine, died at the hands of orc assassins. His life mentor. Anduin Lothar Jazz also fell in front of the battle against the tribe, and even his kingdom was destroyed by the old tribe and all life was in ruins"
"But when I tried to contact him this time, he was willing to put aside the hatred in his heart and reach a peace agreement with the new tribe."
"He is willing to sacrifice all this just so that the people who trust and support him can stay away from the pain of war, so that the soldiers who are willing to die for him can support their parents. Take care of his wife and children just so that he will no longer let The tragedy of wives and children separated and families destroyed happened again"
"In my eyes, he is the only leader who can compare with Thrall in terms of mind."
"At this point, we are not as good as him"
Gianna slowly raised her head, stared into Old Tang's eyes, and said seriously and sincerely:
"So, Gud I hope you can respect Varian's sacrifice and not treat him with ridiculous prejudice!"
Gianna¡¯s heartfelt words made Old Tang silent.
??Old Tang, who has always thought highly of himself, suddenly felt that his previous performance was like a clown in the Dark Moon Circus
In fact, Gianna¡¯s rebuke and criticism were not wrong. In terms of attitude towards Varian. Old Tang is indeed looking at things from the perspective of colored vision and prejudice from his previous life.
Varian is impatient, aggressive, tough, and reckless. He is a guy as "dumb" as Garrosh Hellscream These impressions are all impressions that Old Tang got from the game in his previous life, but he has no chance at all in this life. to verify.
¡°Without investigation, there is no right to speak. This is one of the mottos Lao Tang believed in in his previous life. But this time, Old Tang ridiculously put his prejudice on Varian's head without any research. This is really a ridiculous mistake.
Actually, Old Tang doesn¡¯t know that Varian today is indeed not the hawkish boss he remembered from his previous life.
Even in the history of previous games, Varian at this time, like Thrall, has not given up the hope for peace in his heart, and is equally committed to finding common interests between each other, and using this as an entry point to promote Peace. In the following days, rounds of peace negotiations were promoted more than once.
It¡¯s a pity that these negotiations are ultimately rejected by those who don¡¯t want to see them. The Alliance and the Horde, the two giants of Azeroth, were destroyed by evil forces that maintained peace.
It was the successive conspiracies and instigations of the Black Dragon Legion, the Ancient Gods, and even natural disasters and demons, coupled with the competition between the two sides for resources and land, that caused misunderstandings again and again, and finally caused the Alliance and the Horde to fall back into suspicion and tension. So much so that they fought against each other.
It wasn't until his friend Bolvar "died" at the Wrath Gate, and the bellicose and powerful Garrosh succeeded him as the chief of the tribe, that Varian's way of thinking and behavior finally became more and more consistent with a The standard of the warchief of the tribe, not the king of the alliance!
¡¡
"I apologize for my ridiculous comments. Gianna."
??Old Tang has never been a hypocritical person, and he will never cover up his mistakes irresponsibly for the sake of face.
Jaina defended Varian. It really made Old Tang a little ashamed. After changing his attitude, Old Tang also began to actively pay attention to the issue of Varian's disappearance:
"I will do my best to search for Varian!"
"Now let's talk about the specific situation! For example, the location of the disappearance, the suspicious target, etc This will give my people a direction to pursue."
Reaching back, he pulled out a map of Kalimdor from the table and spread it out in front of Jaina. Old Tang seemed to have entered "working mode"."The location of the secret mission's incident is roughly here." Seeing that Old Tang responded to her request for help, Jaina breathed a long sigh of relief and stopped being polite. After observing for a moment, the mistress of Theramore reached out and pointed on the map.
Looking at the location pointed out by Gianna, Old Tang couldn't help but scratch his head, and finally solved the doubts in his heart.
Since Varian came to meet with Thrall secretly, this also explains why Varian went to Kalimdor instead of being a good King of Storms. And the sensitivity of the location explains why. Why did Jaina immediately come to Legion Fortress to ask for help after Varian disappeared
The location of the incident happened to be between Grimtotem Post and Theramore's North Point Tower. There is no doubt that if Varian was really deliberately kidnapped, then the tauren border garrison at the Grimtotem Post would most likely find some clues about the "robbers".
But others don¡¯t know the person behind the king¡¯s disappearance. But Old Tang knew that this was a conspiracy directed and acted by Onyxia. But when Old Tang was still thinking about how to speak and point the clues to those black dragons who were unwilling to be left alone, Jaina, who had been pondering for a long time, hesitated and told another piece of information.
And it was this piece of information that made Old Tang¡¯s face suddenly become extremely gloomy
"Other than a large amount of blood and the damaged armor of Varian's eight guards, there were no bodies left at the scene."
"But at the same time, it also left a lot of clues that are difficult to distinguish between true and false"
"The red turban of the Defias Brotherhood, a few broken black dragon scales, a piece of an ogre's finger, a large amount of murloc slime and Naga scales"
