Chapter 1261 Arrival at Stormwind City (I rolled off the bed)

A group of cultists are no match for Duanmu Huai, but the Old God they believe in does interest Duanmu Huai. After helping the dwarves recapture Dun Modr, Duanmu Huai found Sargas and asked about the situation of the Old God.

According to Sargas, Azeroth was ruled by the Old Gods a long time ago, which was called the Dark Empire. Later, the Dark Empire ended, and the Old Gods who ruled Azeroth were also sealed. There are now three sealed Old Gods, namely N'Zoth, C'Thun and Yogg-Saron.

As for the location of these three Old Gods, Sargas is not very clear, only knowing that C'Thun is sealed in Ahn'Qiraj. And these Twilight Hammer believers hope that the Old Gods they believe in will one day break the cage of the seal and return to this world. As for why these lunatics want to do this... it is unknown.

Although there is not much information, it is enough for Duanmu Huai. It just so happens that his Old Ones also need to be upgraded, and devouring other Old Ones is the easiest way to upgrade. Since there are still three Old Ones in this world, and they are still sealed weaklings, don't blame Duanmu Huai for being rude...

Since he met the dwarves here, Duanmu Huai was too lazy to go to Ironforge again. Sargas also patted Duanmu Huai's chest and promised to tell the dwarves about Dun Garok. So Duanmu Huai directly threw this task to Sargas, and he took the others to take a boat from Menethil Harbor to Stormwind City.

He didn't want to stay in this dirty and ugly quagmire for a minute.

"Huh..."

Standing on the deck, looking at the sea in the distance, the girls also breathed a sigh of relief. Compared with the swamp full of mosquitoes, this sea seems much more relaxed.

"It seems that the seas in other worlds are not much different from ours."

Homura Akemi stood on the bow curiously and looked around. Looking at the ship sailing forward against the wind and waves, she always had an indescribable feeling.

"I haven't been on a boat before."

Naruse Mio also seemed quite excited. After all, even if she had lived in Japan, it didn't mean she had the opportunity to ride a boat. At this moment, she was also lying in front of the railing, curiously looking at the scenery around.

But compared to them, the other two were miserable.

"Uh... When will we reach our destination..."

"Mio, I'm dying..."

It's strange to say that Wan Liya and Kisara, both of whom can fly, are seasick for some reason. Since they got on the boat, they have been dizzy. In addition, the ships of this era are not as comfortable as modern ships, so these two unlucky guys have been half dead since they got on the boat.

"Hahaha, please be patient, ladies."

Looking at the miserable two people, the captain of the ship also laughed and comforted them. On the one hand, there are beautiful girls here, and as a man, he will certainly take care of them. On the other hand, well, Duanmu Huai gave too much.

"If everything goes well, we will arrive at Stormwind City at noon today, and then you two can have a good rest."

"Captain, didn't you say that we could arrive early in the morning?"

"Uh............"

Faced with Wan Liya's complaint, the captain's expression stiffened slightly.

"The main reason is that we brought more goods this time, so the speed will be slower......"

"I knew it!"

At this moment, Wan Liya also complained weakly.

"It's because Lord Duanmu is too heavy, so it hurts......!"

"Say it again?"

However, Wan Liya's words have not been finished yet, and Duanmu Huai's big hand stretched out from behind, grabbed Wan Liya's little head, and lifted her up directly.

"Who are you talking about?"

"I didn't say anything, nothing! I'm sorry, I was wrong, Lord Duanmu, let me go, my head, my head is going to split ah ah ah ah ah!!"

"Humph."

Duanmu Huai snorted coldly and threw Wan Liya to the ground. The latter sat there holding his head, looking aggrieved.

Duanmu Huai ignored her, but walked to the captain's side, took out the map and discussed with him. The latter traveled all over the country, and had a certain understanding of both Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms. Duanmu Huai also heard some things about the Alliance and the Horde from this captain.

According to the captain, the Alliance and the Horde have been fighting each other for many years. When there is a threat from an external enemy, they can occasionally put aside their past grudges and unite against the outside world. For example, the previous Scourge, but when the threat disappeared, the Alliance and the Horde began to fight each other again.

Of course, on the surface, the two sides barely maintained peace, but they also fought privately. Basically, the Alliance and the Horde are like this every time. At the beginning, both sides did not interfere with each other and made small moves in private. Just like what the Forsaken did to Nanhai Town before, digging the corners of this side, blocking the road over there, and then cutting all the sausages.

In this way, the snowball kept rolling until it got bigger and bigger, and then the two sides did not hide it, and directly started a full-scale war to make a big wave. Then when both sides were exhausted, they tacitly stopped fighting, went home to lick their wounds, and waited until they were well again.

Of course, since the two sides have similar strength, they have been in a stalemate for a long time. Now that the Forsaken have been wiped out, it will naturally bring great turmoil and influence to the Alliance and the Horde. As for what kind of influence, the captain can't say for sure. He is just a businessman, who cares about so many political and military matters. For him, these things happening on land are not worth mentioning at all. Instead, the Zandalari troll fleet makes him more upset.

Trolls...

Listening to the captain's complaints, Duanmu Huai silently made a note in his little notebook.

Let's find a chance to deal with them later.

Although the captain promised Maria that they would arrive in Stormwind City at noon, it was already afternoon when they actually arrived in Stormwind City, and Mu Geng and Maria fell to the ground as soon as they arrived at the dock, and they could hardly get up.

"It's useless."

Looking at the two half-dead people, Duanmu Huai, who had already completed the handover procedures with the guards, rolled his eyes helplessly, and then looked at Naruse Mio and Akemi Homura.

"Take them to the inn to rest first. I'll go to Stormwind Fortress to hand in the quest."

Originally, Duanmu Huai thought that he could let others hand in the quest, just like he did with the dwarves before. However, after seeing Marshal Oslet's handwritten letter, the captain of the guard said that Duanmu Huai should go to Stormwind Fortress in person to hand over the letter to the current King Varian... It's really troublesome, but it's also good to go and see what kind of person the current human king is. Maybe he will be the governor of Azeroth in the future.

So, led by the guards, Duanmu Huai came to Stormwind Fortress and met Stormwind King Varian Wrynn.

To be honest, Duanmu Huai's first impression of Varian was just average. In fact, he asked the captain about the king on the way here, and the latter didn't have a very good impression of Varian. On the contrary, he highly praised the deeds of Varian's father, Llane. According to the captain, when the orcs came to the Eastern Kingdom through the Dark Portal to attack humans, it was King Llane who led the army to drive the orcs back, but in the end he was killed by an orc assassin, and his end was quite sad.

As for King Varian, the captain did not have a good impression. According to the captain, the royal family had hired the Stonemasons Guild to rebuild Stormwind City before, but after the work was completed, the royal family owed wages and did not pay. This naturally made the workers very dissatisfied, and they began to rebel and demanded that the royal family pay. At that time, King Varian's queen tried to appease these workers, but was hit on the head by a flying stone during the riot and died.

The death of the queen hit Varian hard, and at the same time, the Stonemasons Guild was brutally arrested and suppressed, and the latter were either caught and killed or fled.

Therefore, Varian's reputation among the people is not very good-after all, in the final analysis, it was not the royal family's arrears of wages that caused the matter, but you actually slandered the Stonemasons Guild for maliciously asking for wages?

Although Duanmu Huai didn't care about this kind of thing, Varian was greatly disappointed by it. What's the point of a governor who can't even handle his own country's internal affairs?

Now that he met Varian, how can I say it... Looking at the drowsy and somewhat Alzheimer's king in front of him, Duanmu Huai really didn't have a good impression of him.

Forget it, this one is probably useless and can't be used.

Varian naturally didn't know what Duanmu Huai was thinking. Looking at the tall warrior in front of him, he was a little timid. However, after reading the letters from Mayor Mareb and Marshal Oslet, Varian also praised Duanmu Huai's bravery and said that he would give Duanmu Huai some rewards. Well, Duanmu Huai didn't plan to have any deep contact and communication with this seemingly useless king. He just expressed his gratitude lightly, and then waited to receive the reward and leave.

It should have been like this.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise from behind. Duanmu Huai turned his head and saw a warrior in armor striding in. The guards standing on both sides of the corridor had no intention of stopping the warrior. On the contrary, they saluted him one after another, seeming to respect the warrior.

"Reginald?"

Seeing the warrior, King Varian seemed a little surprised.

"Why are you here?"

"Your Majesty."

Facing King Varian, the warrior saluted him respectfully, and then stared at a female mage standing next to King Varian with a serious face.

"I came here to stop all this... The masquerade is over, Countess Prestor, or should I call you by your real name - Onyxia!"

"What?"

Hearing the warrior's words, King Varian widened his eyes in surprise and looked at the female mage standing next to him, while the latter just chuckled.

"How foolish, Reginald. Do you know what you are saying? You are provoking a nobleman, do you think you can get away with it unscathed? Believe me, you will be imprisoned, and I will be happy to see them convict you and send you to the gallows. Perhaps when your limp body swings on the gallows, I will be happy that a madman's life has finally come to an end. After all, what evidence do you have?"

"Evidence?"

Faced with the Countess's ridicule, the warrior stretched out his hand.

"You can't escape your fate, Onyxia. The prophecy has already doomed it all - the illusion in the hall of Karazhan has foreshadowed your end, let's make an end now!"

As he spoke, the warrior suddenly took out a stone tablet from his arms and pointed it at the woman.

"You dragon, let the truth be known to the world!"

As the warrior chanted the mysterious spell on the stone tablet loudly, the next moment everyone saw the young and beautiful countess suddenly flashed and turned into a huge black dragon!

"What?"

"Oh my God, a dragon!!"

Seeing this dragon, everyone in the hall was shocked.

"Guards, catch this monster and protect the king!"

Soon, amid the shouts, several fully armed guards rushed over and blocked King Varian, but the black dragon just stretched out its claws and waved, knocking all the guards away.

Then it narrowed its eyes and stared at the warrior.

"Is this fate, Windsor? If you are here to die, then the prophecy has come true. Your thoughts will rot in the twisting void. Kill other nosy guys, my children!"

Accompanied by the roar of the black dragon, the guards who were standing still suddenly flashed and turned into four-legged dragon monsters and rushed forward. At this moment, the guards outside also rushed over and fought with these dragon monsters.

"Heh......!"

Looking at this scene, the black dragon didn't care at all. It glanced at King Varian with contempt and chuckled.

"You are a good puppet, Bolvar, but that's all. So......"

However, before the black dragon finished speaking, suddenly, a huge figure jumped up, and Duanmu Huai raised his war hammer and smashed it hard on the black dragon's head! At the same time, the black dragon also felt that an incomparable aura of terror erupted from the dark warrior, as if a mountain range fell from the sky and pressed down on it. It couldn't even move!

"How could it be?"

At this moment, the black dragon's expression of confidence suddenly changed. It widened its eyes in surprise and looked at Duanmu Huai in horror.

"Who are you......"

"Bang!!"

However, before the black dragon finished speaking, the thunder hammer in Duanmu Huai's hand drew an arc in the air and hit the black dragon's forehead directly. Then the black dragon's head exploded like a balloon, and the broken head instantly lost its strength, and fell heavily to the ground with the huge body.

"…………………………"

Seeing this scene, everyone present was stunned.
