The refugees from Stormwind City have finally arrived.
The leader of the old man was tall and strong. Although he was wearing heavy armor and carrying a huge storm sword engraved with golden runes on his back, he still moved swiftly and swiftly.
He was not wearing a helmet, had a thick mustache, and a smooth head. The few hairs he had were tied into a single ponytail at the back of his head.
This is the Lion of Azeroth, the future supreme commander of the Alliance army, Sir Lothar.
Huang Shang stood beside the king, looked at the legendary hero, and found that he did not have serious injuries on his body.
People who don't know much about the detailed plot of Warcraft may not have much impression of Sir Lothar, but this guy is indeed an important role in the early stage, so he was selected as the protagonist of the movie version.
Medivh, possessed by Sargeras, was killed by Lothar and Medivh's apprentice Khadgar.
It was a legendary battle, and there were many factors that led to its success. However, even if Medivh, who was possessed by the Demon King, died, Lothar would inevitably be seriously injured.
The injuries were so severe that he did not recover until he died.
But now, Huang Shang did not feel any serious injuries from Lothar's body.
There are no traces of magic or fel energy.
"Then there are only two possibilities..."
"Either Lothar defeats Medivh, who is possessed by Sargeras."
"Either that battle didn't happen, and Medivh might not be dead yet!
"Both of these changes are definitely related to the reincarnations in the West. Combined with the fact that the orcs can reach the border of Lordaeron in advance, the latter is more likely!"
Huang Shang has noticed a lot of undercurrents over the years, but he didn't expect the other party to play such a big role.
You must know that saving Medivh, who is possessed by Sargeras, is something that affects the whole body. You can't see it now, but it has actually changed the direction of the entire plot. The guardians of Azeroth and the guardian giants
Dragons will never give up.
To accomplish this, the difficulty will not be any lower than the previous Heroes Conference that controlled the Void Land. It seems that there are many powerful people coming here.
"Thanos didn't catch them for me before, but now Azeroth is closed, I don't believe they can't be touched!"
Huang Shang's heart began to surge with murderous intent.
Here he was thinking about Sargeras, the King of Demons, who was still comforting the remnants of the Kingdom of Stormwind.
In the king's opinion, the Kingdom of Stormwind was finished, and all that was left was a group of defeated soldiers and a skinny prince.
Indeed, Prince Varian was tall and thin, looked pale, exhausted, lost, lonely and frightened. It was not until he was asked a question that he managed to regain some energy and answered politely.
It's nothing to worry about.
In order to show his broad mind, the king planned to take in the child as his own, and then naturally form an alliance and become the leader to jointly defeat the orcs.
"Welcome to the Kingdom of Lordaeron. It's a pity that we couldn't meet under more pleasant circumstances. Don't worry, kid, we will definitely drive those ugly and cruel monsters out of the human kingdom!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty the King!"
After a heart-to-heart talk, Varian became much closer to him, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
As for Lothar, who was smelly and hard, he didn't like this very much and kept looking at Huang Shang.
This was obviously the prince of Lordaeron. He was wondering why a child was involved in such a major military event.
Although this child is tall and tall, there is a faint sense of oppression about him.
Huang Shang saw that Lothar was always looking at him. In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Huang Shang took advantage of the actor's father to hold Varian's hand and have a heart-to-heart talk. He introduced himself: "I am Al-Sa-S. Nice to meet you.
Dear Sir Lothar."
"Does this Prince of Lordaeron stutter? How come he speaks his name so slowly and so slowly?"
Lothar was somewhat sympathetic.
Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite!
But the answer was soon revealed.
Uther came to his side, patted Huang Shang on the shoulder, smiled at Lothar and said: "This is my apprentice Er Fool. Despite his young age, his understanding of the Holy Light is no longer inferior to mine!"
Lothar and Uther were originally close friends. They fought against the orcs together some time ago and formed a deep friendship.
Lothar knew very well that Uther was an unsmiling, serious and restrained knight. He didn't expect to be so cheerful now, and he was suddenly moved: "A famous teacher will give birth to a good apprentice! A famous teacher will give birth to a good apprentice!"
Huang Shang: "..."
Uther, are you sorry?
If it weren't for my secret reminder, you might not be a paladin yet, and the Knights of the Silver Hand don't have such a systematic paladin teaching process now!
"Varian! Come here!"
Lothar didn't know this. Seeing how much Uther respected this little prince, he understood that his status was indeed deserved, and he just happened to take care of Varian.
Varian took a step forward and saluted gracefully: "As I said to His Majesty Tenaris, during this difficult time, I would like to thank your country for your support and friendship. Thank you!"
His voice was a little reserved, nervous and tired, full of the embarrassment of being dependent on someone else.
There is no way, it can be seen from the clothes. They are obviously sewn with rune cloth and magic pattern cloth, embroidered with exquisite patterns, but now they are as dirty as a beggar's clothes, and there are still stains on the forehead and nails.
Stain, this is too unseemly for a prince.
Huang Shang ordered the guards on his left and right: "Prepare food, towels, hot water and a bathtub. Prince Varian, you can take a rest."
Hearing this title, Varian's eyes became slightly moist.
The other party emphasizes the meaning of the title so much, obviously telling himself that even if he loses everything, he is still the prince of a country and shoulders a heavy burden.
It’s not encouragement, but it’s better than encouragement!
Overthinking, Huang Shang just reminded him to prevent him from calling her by the wrong name, you should also call me that~
As a result, Varian became excited and spoke faster: "Thank you, you idiot prince!"
Huang Shang: "..."
Why didn't you think of this name when you were selecting candidates?
…
More than an hour later, the two arrived at the bedroom on the fourth floor of the palace.
It is winter now, and white snow has fallen from the sky, covering the earth, and it is as silent as a blanket.
Huang Shang sat next to the fire. Although the temperature on his body could be hotter than the fire if necessary, he still stretched out his hands to keep warm in order to share the cold with the people.
Varian stood by the window and looked out, just in time to see Lake Lordamre.
Even in the midst of heavy snowfall, there was a unique beauty on this beautiful lake, but at this moment, all he saw was deathly silence.
"My father was assassinated."
Varian spoke slowly, his voice too cold to sound like a living person. Only his brown eyes, which had washed away the stains but not the bloodshot and hatred, showed a bit of anger: "A trusted female orc, try to
Have a private meeting with my father, and then kill him, piercing his heart with a sword..."
"Well, it's Gul'dan's fault. Daniel Wu expressed full responsibility for this assassination of the emperor."
Huang Shang listened silently to what the prince said. After he came to an end, he took out a set of cards from under his body and said, "Would you like to play a game of Hearthstone to relax your mind?"
Varian was startled: "What is this? Chess?"
Huang Shangdao: "A card game that is much simpler than chess. I designed it casually when I was practicing Holy Light."
Varian started to speak but stopped.
Compared to the Kingdom of Stormwind, which has a strong martial spirit, the extravagant atmosphere in Lordaeron is obviously much more serious. For example, when he was ten years old, he had already learned fighting skills in depth, and the opponent...
Well, the opponent is already a Paladin and is qualified to play cards.
Varian knew that this new good friend wanted him to get out of the gloom.
He was very moved.
"Idleness is also idleness..."
Huang Shang thought to himself and started cutting flowers.
In fact, there is nothing to show off. With the support of mana, seven major professions have emerged, namely warrior, mage, priest, paladin, thief, hunter, and druid. Each profession has thirty cards. Currently,
There are very few neutral cards, and most of them are professional cards, which are the abilities represented by the major professions.
"Are there even druids?"
Varian was a little surprised.
I heard that this is the exclusive occupation of elves, which can summon the power of nature to form all kinds of incredible spells and changes.
Humans have had a certain degree of contact and understanding of elves, but most people have only heard about them, and may never have seen an elf with their own eyes. I didn't expect that this person actually has such an in-depth understanding, even if it is just hearsay, it is very powerful.
"The rules of Hearthstone are very simple. We each control a hero unit with thirty drops of blood, and the cards have followers, weapons, magic, etc. The two armies face each other and use followers and spells to attack the opponent's hero. Which side's
When the hero's blood volume reaches zero, he will admit defeat."
"These magic crystals increase as the number of rounds increases. Starting from the first one and continuing to the tenth, the number is capped at ten. The crystals required to use the cards in each chapter are also different. They are also capped at ten.
"
Huang Shang introduced the rules, and a battle platform slowly unfolded, exactly like the Castle of Lordaeron. Similarly, the portraits of heroes corresponding to each profession also appeared, either majestic or solemn, or pure and beautiful.
Somehow, looking at the priest's profile picture, Varian always felt that there was something between his eyebrows that looked like himself.
He yearned for the Holy Light, but did not want to become a priest. After looking at it, he moved away and landed on the warrior.
This warrior looks a bit like Sir Lothar, but not.
To prevent infringement, any similarity is purely coincidental.
But even if he is not as peerless as Lothar, Varian still likes warriors.
Deep down in his bones, he yearns for iron and blood.
Now the Kingdom of Stormwind also needs iron and blood to recover.
So, with a click of his finger, the warrior hero turned into light and shadow and came in front of him. At the same time, thirty cards were placed on the right hand side, waiting to be drawn.
"Then I will choose a priest. I yearn for the Holy Light."
Huang Shang smiled slightly and chose the priest.
The game begins.
The warrior hero roared: "The battle ax is my punishment, the plate armor is my protection, my faith comes from blood and thunder, my strength turns into anger and death, even if I fall, I will have no regrets, heaven is on the left,
If a warrior turns to the right, he will win!"
Priest Hero Wow: "Following the guidance of the Holy Light, every holy word I chant shall give my comrades the power of rebirth. Every dark word I chant silently shall destroy the enemy's spirit and mind. Maybe I will hold the shadow in my hand, but in the end
With light in my heart, the Holy Light will give me victory!"
"A very ceremonial duel!"
Varian immediately liked this feeling. Although the priest's tone was a bit strange, the warrior's roar seemed so majestic. Looking at the cards again, charge, rage, whirlwind, shield slam, armorcaster
,Wow, it looks amazing at first glance.
Varian fell in love with it and read the cards several times in a row, writing down the introduction and use of each card.
On the other hand, the old god Huang Shang is here.
The cards in his hand are Mind Sight, Thought Stealing, Shadow Frenzy, Entombment, Mind Control...
There is no need to think about it, it just depends on what cards the opponent has.
bite!
The game begins.
The two sides drew three and four cards respectively. Since the crystal mechanism gave the first move a great advantage, the second player was dealt an extra card in the initial round, as well as a lucky coin, which could temporarily increase the number of crystals.
use.
Well, it's very rigorous.
Varian began to concentrate.
Obviously, this is not just a small game, but also shows the skills and overall view of both parties.
The more he reaches the end of his rope, the less he wants to lose.
It's just that his luck was not very good. In the first two rounds, because there were not many crystals and the cards in his hand were too big, he couldn't use them at all, so he had to pass by.
Huang Shang's priest, on the other hand, first used two "Psychic Sight" cards, and inexplicably had two more cards in his hand. Then in the third round, he also used "Thought Stealing".
Looking at the description of the opponent's card, Varian frowned and felt something was wrong.
"Thought stealing, copying two cards in the opponent's deck and putting them into my own hand. Now my warrior hero card has been stolen by the priest?"
"Is this something the Holy Light did?"
Varian had some doubts, but when he thought about how rigorous the other party's design was and how good his starting point was, he suddenly felt ashamed.
How can you doubt your friends?
"Shadow frenzy, temporarily gaining control of the enemy's followers..."
"Bury, shuffle an enemy minion into your deck..."
But gradually, as the Priest Huang Shang card was used more and more, Varian's expression changed from excited, to anxious, and finally to dazed.
"You stole my cards again?"
"Why did you still steal my cards?"
"It's obviously the Holy Light, why are you so... so..."
His good upbringing prevented him from uttering curse words, but Varian was obviously impatient and hated the other party's fair-looking priest hero with a dirty heart.
How did your father educate you?
Why are the methods so dirty?
However, Huang Shang still diligently seizes the other party's followers and conducts spiritual counseling.
Yes, it looks like this is playing cards, but it is actually helping Vari arrange his emotions.
As we all know, the more sad you are, the more you need to vent it out. Only if you keep your emotions bottled up in your heart will big problems arise.
So Huang Shang used a card called "Mind Control" to control the Sea Giant, the most powerful follower in Varian's camp.
"Wow!!!"
Varian looked at his empty hand and all the minions that had become the opponent's subordinates, and finally burst into tears.
The sadness of losing his father and the anger of being driven mad by Zang Mu turned into tears and burst out.
Men, it’s not a sin to cry!
Squeak!
At this moment, the door opened, and a small figure flashed in. She was a beautiful little girl with light steps, dazzling blond hair, and a slim figure.
She had bright eyes and a lively smile. She looked at Varian who was crying in surprise, and then looked at the cards in Huang Shang's hand with a clear look on her face: "You used dirty animal husbandry again!"
Huang Shang corrected: "How can we call Holy Light's affairs dirty?"
The girl shook her head and looked extremely angry. She raised her mouth and said, "It's Zang Mu. My magic is going to tear Zang Mu into pieces!"
When Varian saw someone else, he quickly wiped away his tears and looked over.
She immediately changed her expression and said in a very ladylike manner: "Hello, I am Jaina Proudmoore."
As soon as I heard this last name, I knew it was related to the King of Kul Tiras.
This country is also one of the seven human kingdoms. It is located between Lordaeron and Stormwind City. It is a huge island country with the strongest navy in Azeroth and the highest per capita disposable property.
They are poor and have only money left.
Now, the seven human kingdoms and the heirs of the three kingdoms are beside the fire, warming themselves and playing Hearthstone.
After a few rounds, Jaina was furious, her face turned red, and she tilted her head and said, "I heard from His Majesty the King that you also want to study in Dalaran?"
Huang Shang nodded: "I am very interested in arcana."
Varian was confused: "Aren't you a paladin?"
Huang Shang shrugged: "This does not prevent me from being interested in arcana."
Jaina snorted and immediately struck: "It's a waste of effort, arcane magic will not open its arms to those who have faith in the Holy Light!"
"Then we'll see!"
Huang Shang smiled and looked at Varian: "Let's go together?"
Varian was a little moved, but he still shook his head: "I want to settle the people and be with them to tide over the difficulties together!"
Huang Shang nodded and handed over the deck in his hand: "If you miss us, just open the card. As long as you are in the kingdom, you can contact us through it. Don't show it to others, even those who are close to us."
Varian solemnly accepted the deck belonging to the warrior, vaguely feeling that this deck of cards was not just for fun. Jaina opened her eyes wide and fiddled with the deck: "Really? I don't believe it!"
Huang Shang looked concerned about being an orphan: "Okay, okay, I'll give you one too!"
"That's pretty much it!"
Jaina suddenly became happy, and happily put away the set of cards belonging to the mage, thinking about how to target Dirty Priest, gnashing her teeth again as she thought about it.
The best way is not to play with him?
Hey, I’m so angry!
Huang Shang put away the rest of the decks. The professional skills of the deck belonging to the priest were emitting a faint golden light, and the patterns on it flowed and appeared vivid.
The power of Holy Light in his body was also divided into two parts.
The Paladin practices in the light and in the training ground with real weapons, and the Priest practices in the dark. While constructing the deck, he also integrates his understanding of the profession and the many changes of the Holy Light into it.
You think I'm playing cards?
In fact, I am practicing dual cultivation of Holy Light!
