Inside the secret base in the Falaki Mountains, the celebration party held for defeating the Super Beast has ended for several days.
Having experienced so much together, the members of the special operations team have become close to each other.
Without the threat of super beasts and faceless men, everyone's spirits have been relaxed and they can enjoy this leisure time in the base.
On the night when the super beast was defeated, Jack's identity was exposed, but everyone in the special team tacitly chose to keep it secret.
Just because of the confidentiality, everyone also became curious about Jack.
Brian and Hiloma, who were extremely curious about knowledge, even touched Jack's body to see if he was different from ordinary people.
This also aroused strong dissatisfaction from Kel'Thuzad - of course his dissatisfaction was because Shilomar could not be the bearded one of Brian.
But Anita raised a very crucial question.
"Jack, your identity has been exposed, what are you going to do? Will you leave here?"
Hearing this question, Jack himself was confused.
"This...I don't know either."
In this matter, the giant's memory could not provide him with any help.
Strange to say, the giant family has visited many worlds in the universe, but the people in those worlds seem to be blind and forgetful, and will never think of the giants possessing the "locals" until the last moment.
In the memories of the giants, many mortal bodies fought side by side with the giants for dozens of battles before their identities were exposed.
After the identity is exposed, either the giant leaves the mortal body, or the mortal body follows the giant to wander in the universe. There has never been anyone like me who exposed his identity in the second battle.
"Okay, don't ask such serious questions. After all, Jack is our closest friend."
It was Buck Romworth who spoke up and helped Jack ignore this question.
After this battle, Buck also confirmed his status as a majestic captain and was quite reliable in the hearts of his teammates.
But then Buck smiled and asked his question.
"That... the transformation of the giant of light is also a transformation magic like our dragon? If you have a chance, can you transform it up close and let me see?"
This immediately ignited everyone's enthusiasm for asking questions. Some asked where the giants came from, some asked what kind of race the giants were, and some asked what abilities the giants had...
The most unserious question was Brian's question. This dwarf with a clear mind asked carelessly.
"Does the Giant of Light poop?"
Needless to say, this question caused the two female team members to laugh and scold each other, but when everyone asked the question, they all consciously avoided the question.
That is the current Jack. Is he the human paladin Jack or the giant of light from the sky?
Regarding Jack's identity, no one is willing to take it seriously, whether it is a generous gift from heaven or a cruel attempt to occupy the magpie's nest.
Because this is likely to destroy the beauty in front of us, everyone has a tacit understanding not to break it.
But if everyone doesn’t want to break it, naturally someone will break it.
A rapid bell rang, and Buck received a report from the field staff: Li De, the direct superior commander of the special operations team, is here!
The atmosphere in the base instantly became tense, and everyone stood in a row, preparing to be inspected by Li De.
The opposite doors of the command room were opened to both sides, and Li De strode in accompanied by his entourage.
Walking up to the special operations team members, Li De stood at attention and saluted them with standard military salutes.
"You have worked hard in the battle against the super beasts. I came here to visit you today."
In fact, Li De was acquainted with most of the special operations team. After completing some fixed procedures, Li De asked everyone to sit down and listen to the special operations team's work report in a relatively relaxed manner.
During this process, Kel'Thuzad keenly noticed that Li De had adjusted his sitting posture several times inadvertently. After noticing this detail, he saw a tired look in the corner of Li De's eyes.
‘He looks tired.’
Kel'Thuzad thought this in his mind, but then another question arose.
'In such a tired situation, he did not choose to rest, but spent a long distance from Gadgetzan to get here. What on earth did he do?'
Thinking of this, Kel'Thuzad glanced at Jack unconsciously.
He believed that with Li De's mind, he should also have guessed about Jack's identity.
Sure enough, Li De made another request there that was not within the normal inspection process. He rejected his entourage and claimed that he wanted to experience it like an ordinary special operations team member for three hours in the base, and truly feel the special
The status of soldiers on duty on the front line.
Martin Lei, who was accompanying him, was a little embarrassed. When he arrived, Nogfogg specially explained to him that Li De needed rest urgently and that this inspection could not take too long.
But Li De's attitude was so firm that Madin Lei was anxious and at a loss.
Kel'Thuzad sighed and took out a bottle of potion from the magic package.
"Drink this. This is the Ten Ground Drink, which can restore your energy."
Li De showed a happy expression on his face and took the potion from Kel'Thuzad's hand.
"I knew you had a way, you should have come up with it a long time ago."
After taking the Shidi Drink, Li De felt his mind refreshed and the soreness and numbness in his neck and shoulders disappeared. Li De subconsciously sat up straight and made a series of noises from his waist.
Seeing that Li De had indeed improved significantly, Madin Lei and others looked slightly better.
Kel'Thuzad then said to all the people.
"Don't worry, I will take care of you, Commander. Nothing will happen to you."
"Okay, you can go out first. Buck and Kerr are both here. What's the difference between this place and my office?"
After hearing what Li De said, the entourage reluctantly left here.
After confirming that everyone had left, Li De moved his shoulders.
"Kerr, thanks to you being here, I feel much better.
When the Archmage left this morning, he handed over the command of the frontline mage troops to you and had a few words to say to you.
But let’s leave all that for later, what we want to talk about now is the special operations team.”
When Li De said this, he paused for a moment and glanced at everyone's faces. Everyone's expressions were a little unnatural.
Li De just pretended not to notice, and then looked at Kel'Thuzad.
"Create a soundproofing magic, what I want to say next is very important.
I am here today not only to listen to the work report from the previous period, but also to make arrangements for the next stage of work.
as well as……
Pay a visit to the giant of light in our special operations team."
At the end of the sentence, Li De's eyes fell on Jack's face.
Several people were shocked. They had been thinking about how to hide this matter, but they didn't expect that Li De would reveal it.
'How did the commander-in-chief know about this matter! Who among us reported it to the commander-in-chief?!'
Except for Kel'Thuzad, who knew what was going on, everyone else was coughing, yawning, squeezing their eyes, and waving their eyebrows to communicate.
First, Shiloma signaled Buck with her eyes, because after the battle ended that night and the battlefield was cleaned up, only Buck made a private report to Li De.
But there was also Brian who nuzzled at Kel'Thuzad, because this old god was the only one who was not participating in everyone's "discussion".
These little actions made Li De funny, so he said it thoughtfully in a timely manner.
"Are you all suffering from any illness? Why don't you ask Kerr for some magic potion? The little purple bottle he gave me just now is quite effective when I drink it."
Several people immediately stopped their little moves, but looked at Li De a little at a loss.
Li De also told them the truth here.
"You don't have to guess, no one reported this to me, it was me who guessed it.
Although the light was relatively dark that night, because of the special angle I was at, I happened to be able to see the scene where Jack was glowing when he transformed.
After the battle, except for Kerr who came to return the Staff of Nozdormu and Buck who came to report at the end, the entire special forces team was just inspecting the battlefield.
After the inspection, you evacuated in a very low-key manner... To be honest, you overacted. If you pay more attention, you can find your intention to hide something.
Don't think that others are fools. There were so many representatives of various nationalities gathered that night. These are the best talents from all sides.
In fact, some people began to express doubts that night, and I secretly made some changes in the internal battle report after that.
He also rambled on about how the light was dark at night, and the giant should have been a smoke bomb like falling from the sky, which barely covered the matter."
After hearing what Li De said, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but soon questions arose again.
Why did Li De help hide this matter?
Even Kel'Thuzad was curious at this moment, wondering about the deeper meaning of Li De's actions.
In the end, it was Jack, the person involved, who spoke first.
"Thank you for doing this, can you tell us why?"
Li De looked at Jack, who was a little reserved. For a while, he was not able to connect this young man with the invincible giant of light.
But that doesn't stop him from answering everyone's questions.
"An extraterrestrial being with infinite power descended on Azeroth and revealed himself to be the old enemy of the Old Gods.
How should we deal with such a life?
Is He beneficial or harmful to us? It is beneficial in the short term, but what about the long term?
Azeroth is not a whole, it is divided into many countries, and the attitudes of these countries towards giants are destined to be difficult to unify.
Some countries may regard Him as a god, while others may regard Him as a weapon.
Correspondingly, how do giants view Azeroth?
Does he want to help the world? Or is he the pioneer of space colonizers? Or does he simply use this place as a fighting arena?
In my opinion, the attitude of giants towards us is more important than our attitude towards giants.
It is difficult to unify the attitudes of various countries, and the attitude of giants is still unclear.
So I think it's not appropriate to reveal the identity of the giant before we figure this out.
I am here today precisely to confirm this matter."
