Wearing a well-tailored tuxedo, a gorgeous top hat on his head, and shiny leather boots on his feet, he has a tall figure, fair skin, deep-set eye sockets, a straight nose, and a neat and symmetrical mustache.
As soon as Davar Presto appeared in the city of Lordaeron, he became popular among the people there. Not only were women fascinated by his appearance, men were also ashamed to mention jealousy due to his demeanor.
However, only Li De knew what kind of ferocious face was hidden under his beautiful painting.
Lord Prestor? Black Dragon Deathwing!
This was the first time that Li De felt such tremendous pressure because he encountered an enemy powerful enough to destroy the world: Deathwing.
Neltharion, the Black Dragon King, fell into madness ten thousand years ago. After suffering a heavy blow, he lurked in the dark for these long years, but he still did not give up his abuse of the world.
The Theft of Demon's Soul was his first performance back on stage.
How could an orc from another world know how to use the artifacts of this world? And how could he capture the Red Dragon Queen so perfectly?!
All of this is caused by Deathwing in secret.
The invasion of the orcs gave this guy hope. He secretly used magic to guide the orcs to discover the demon soul. Although he could no longer control the demon soul due to the spells cast by other dragon kings. But he could after the orcs obtained the demon soul.
, transformed into an orc, and "accidentally" taught the dragonmaw orc how to use it.
Although the orcs failed in the end, Neltharion did not lose heart.
Some recent events gave him hope of reopening the Dark Portal.
He wanted to give the guy he tortured a chance to help that interesting orc contain the alliance countries.
Since you want to fish, how can you do it without bait? The scented bait provided by Neltharion is Alterac.
He wanted to use Alterac to arouse the greed of all countries, let the kings focus their energy on fighting for the land of Alterac, and create an opportunity for the orcs to reopen the Dark Portal.
So Deathwing forged the identity of an Alterac noble for himself.
The Presto family is indeed an ancient family among the human race. It has a long history, maybe just a little shorter than Barov.
At least before Lordaeron split off from Strom, there were records about them in history.
When the last King Thoradin abandoned Strom City and moved south to establish the Kingdom of Stormwind, another branch of this family followed him southward. Today, there is still this small noble in the Kingdom of Stormwind, belonging to the line of Duke Gregor.
It's just that in Presto today, there is actually no family member left alive.
This family has long been secretly replaced by the Black Dragon. Not only Davar Presto in Alterac was transformed by Deathwing, but all the Prestors in the Kingdom of Stormwind are also minions of Deathwing.
.
When Deathwing came to the city of Lordaeron, he was not in a hurry to ask for an audience with Terenas because he knew very well that if he wanted to ask for an interview now, all he would get would be a rejection.
The king and nobles of Alterac openly betrayed the human race and committed such an unforgivable crime. How could the king of Lordaeron meet an Alterac noble?
And instead of asking for an audience by force, it would be better for Terenas to take the initiative to ask for an audience with him.
Deathwing is actually very wise. In fact, before he fell into madness, Neltharion can be said to be the embodiment of elegance, heroism, calmness, strength and wisdom. Among all the guardian dragons, he is the most charming.
of male.
Of course, even after becoming Deathwing, he retained many of his good qualities. After all, being crazy does not mean becoming stupid.
The strategy Deathwing has formulated for himself is to build momentum for himself:
The graceful demeanor of Lord Prestor he transformed, coupled with the shadow magic that can confuse people's hearts, was able to make the people of Lordaeron ignore Altranger's crimes for a while, and the most sought-after man from the land of sin was him.
noble.
In almost one day, the entire city of Lordaeron changed its previous trend and all discussed this elegant lord. The so-called "human twin stars": Turalyon and Li De, all became yesterday's news.
And it's not just the common people who are talking about Presto, even some nobles, driven by curiosity, have begun to be arty and send invitations to Presto to attend salon dinners among nobles.
There are deep class feelings between nobles. Even with negative filters like Alterac, as long as you look handsome enough and behave elegantly enough, you can still be accepted by some nobles.
Especially when they discovered during the dinner that Presto spoke calmly, was knowledgeable, and was proficient in music and literature, those nobles completely regarded Presto as one of their own.
Some nobles even expressed their views directly to their faces: Daval Prestor really shouldn't have been born in Alterac! In front of Lord Prestor, Alterac is not worthy.
Unexpectedly, in response to such high praise, Presto would still speak reservedly and with a bit of sadness.
"Even if he commits another heinous crime, Alterac has nurtured my motherland. I came here this time to express my repentance to all countries and ask everyone to give Alterac a chance to change."
While talking, he pretended to take out his handkerchief and gently wiped his tears.
A handsome melancholy nobleman cried in front of him. What could be more poignant for the nobles than this? For a moment, all the nobles put down the crystal wine glasses in their hands, and accompanied Presto with tears in their eyes under the soft light.
.
In just a few days, the streets of Lordaeron were filled with anecdotes about Lord Presto:
For example, he generously gave money to beggars; he knelt before the fallen soldiers at the Lordaeron Cemetery; he sang loudly at dinner parties where he invited envoys from various human races; he responded with gorgeous sonnets to the noble lady who gave him flowers...
Facing everything that happened before his eyes, Li De's heart was filled with worry.
Alterac can be said to be crucial to his future development and the balance of the continent. He must not let Deathwing play with him and the leaders of various countries.
Perhaps Terenas has lost interest in the land of Alterac, but there is no guarantee that Trollbane will not have the intention to occupy this place. Coupled with Deathwing's magic, the situation is likely to be out of Reed's control.
!
Faced with Li De's worries, Pumillo and the others thought it was Li De who was jealous of Presto. Although they wondered that the guardian should not have such a character, out of their loyalty to Li De, they were also aggrieved by this.
"Hmph, he is just a hypocritical guy! Why are you praising him! You, the Protector, caught Orgrim with your own hands, and you have never seen those nobles invite you to any salon! You are all superficial people who only judge people by their appearance!"
Fortunately, Deathwing is not proficient in the magic of bewitching people. He can only guide people by creating some small psychological suggestions, but it is not enough to hypnotize people to the point of changing their stance, otherwise the world may have been destroyed long ago.
But Pumiro's words could not make Li De feel better at all.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly at this. Even the people around him were only thinking about himself and had no doubt at all about the good and evil of Presto.
In such an environment, what can he do even if he questions Presto with a clear-cut stance? He is destined not to be understood by anyone, and will only stand on the opposite side of everyone.
What was even worse was that immediately after, Li De, who was living in a short-term rental house, heard that Terenas would bring several leaders to publicly summon Presto ten days later!
This news came from Daelin, who was returning to Lordaeron with the ship that had previously picked up the immigrants. From Daelin, Lid also learned that Terenas seemed to have taken this opportunity to discuss the issue of how to deal with Alterac.
"If you still want to carry out the plan against Alterac that you and Lothar made before, you have to hurry up. I think Lord Prestor is a good person. Maybe you can try to cooperate with him."
Even Dai Lin said this, and Li De felt even more pressured.
Not only that, everything came together in a hurry. News came from the Kingdom of Stormwind that Varian would officially succeed the king in five days, and he was asked to return to the Kingdom of Stormwind quickly to participate in the succession ceremony of the new king.
!
The long-planned plan is about to come to an end. Deathwing is causing trouble in Lordaeron. How can Li De dare to leave Lordaeron?
But Varian's succession ceremony was equally important. Lothar was Li De's ally, and it was all thanks to Lothar to march into Alterac. If he was not present at this time, would it be considered a dissatisfaction with Varian?
respect?
If there is a misunderstanding and Lothar no longer trusts him, then all the hard work of the past six months will be ruined!
Two things weighed on Li De's heart, making him feel breathless! And all of this came from Deathwing. This evil Black Dragon King made Li De despair for the first time. This was a person he could not defeat.
of enemies.
Deathwing deceived everyone with his mask and tricks, but Li De didn't know how to expose him yet.
For enemies who are good at playing tricks, Li De can even occasionally ignore procedural justice and directly destroy them physically. But can he physically destroy a world destroyer like Deathwing?
To be fair, Li De now is afraid that even if he jumps up, he won't be able to hit Deathwing's knees, and instead he will be crushed by the opponent's kick.
The anxiety of not being able to break through the situation made Li De's eyesight cast a layer of gray. He picked up the Flagellant in a hurry, as if slashing into the void to release himself.
But in the end, his reason made him give up his impulse. Such incompetent rage could not solve the problem. He once again put the whipper behind his back, and Li De wandered blankly in the yard of the residence with his head lowered.
"Clang!"
Suddenly there were two muffled sounds from behind! Li De, who was awakened, suddenly turned his head. On the stone tile floor in the yard, there were two giant swords! And the leather scabbard holding the whipper behind him was also torn into two pieces.
Pieces of leather!
The Lashers split again, becoming Sansas the Counter and Gassas the Protector!
