Chapter 1075: A Story and a Punch
Four people stand in the cathedral, which can accommodate thousands of people, making it look unusually empty.
Renaud was in the middle of the cathedral with Whitemayne beside him, talking to Scarlett, and this was what he saw when Leo walked into the church.
Renault has no good impression of Leo as a warlock, and he has never given a good face from beginning to end, and paladins who believe in holy light have a natural hostility to warlocks who control demons, just think about what happened when Scarlett and Leo met at the Westspring Fortress.
Renault didn't mind what kind of attitude he had, although he was in Renault's territory, Leo didn't have the consciousness of being a guest at all, he looked around at the cathedral, and his mouth made a smack sound from time to time, as if he was evaluating something.
Originally, Renault didn't plan to pay attention to Leo, no matter how strong the warlock demigod is, I don't like you if you don't like it, and it won't change because of your strength.
However, when Leo put on a critical appearance of the cathedral, Renault finally couldn't hold back.
This is the cathedral of the Scarlet Crusade, and it is already very embarrassing to let you in as a warlock, and it is too arrogant for you to look around and not say anything, and dare to shake your head and make judgments.
Renault snorted angrily, expressing his displeasure and asked Leo, "Is there anything here that displeased you?" ”
"Not satisfied? How could it be! Leo shrugged his shoulders and looked innocent, "I should be honored to let me, a warlock who wields dark powers, enter the Scarlet Cathedral, shouldn't I?" ”
This guy really thinks he's a demigod warlock, and I can't help him?
Leo's movements and tone looked very yin and yang in Renault's eyes, his face darkened again, and he was about to speak, Leo rushed ahead of him and said another word.
"I just thought of a story, and I was a little emotional."
Thought of a story?
You trick the undead into going!
Renault didn't believe Leo's words at all, and he said with a calm face: "I really want to hear what story you have in mind." ”
As he spoke, a large sword appeared in Renault's hand, and if Leo couldn't answer, he would have to do it.
Scarlett was enraged, Renault's hostility to Leo was to provoke her, and Scarlett didn't care who he was to provoke him, if you dare to provoke me, I will cut people.
The sword of Ashkandi was held in Scarlett's hand, and as the two paladins' swords were unsheathed, the atmosphere in the cathedral suddenly became tense, as if a fight would break out at any moment.
Whitemane took two steps back, untied the staff from his back, and prepared himself for battle.
The tension in the church didn't affect Leo in the slightest, he looked at Renault with a mocking expression, and said, "I'm not thinking of an ordinary story, are you sure you want to hear it?" ”
I see what the hell you're messing with.
Renault didn't answer, just sneered repeatedly.
"If you don't say it, I'll treat you as a default."
Leo showed a good temper that Scarlett didn't expect, and the female paladin felt a little pity for Renault for no reason, and she knew that whenever Leo did the opposite of usual, it meant that someone was going to be unlucky.
"The story is not complicated, and there is not much earth-shattering, just ordinary father and son."
Leo raised his eyebrows as he spoke, and Renault's heart skipped a beat for no reason.
"It is said that there was once a powerful knight, he had two sons, the eldest son followed him all the years to receive various knightly training, and he pinned all his expectations on this son, and the higher the expectations, the stricter the knight was on this son. In this way, the eldest son's memory of his father is a stern and unsmiling person, and the eldest son has nothing but fear of his father. ”
"Originally, this was nothing, the father was strict, and the eldest son was used to this kind of life. Although he did not feel his father's love, but under his father's strict training, his strength far surpassed that of his peers, and every time he found others looking at him with adoring eyes, he felt that the hardships and reprimands he endured were worth it. ”
At this, a smile appeared on Leo's face that made Renault's heart beat faster, and a feeling of unease welled up in the latter's heart.
However, when the father saw his younger son, he changed his usual sternness and showed kindness that had never appeared before the elder son. Seeing this scene, the eldest son felt resentment in his heart. He hated the same father's son, why was his father so strict with himself, he couldn't tolerate the slightest mistake, and if his younger brother made a mistake, his father would never blame him, but would only tell him not to make it again next time. ”
"Differential treatment, the same is a mistake, the eldest son will be severely reprimanded, but the younger son will be comforted by gentle words, you say, who will be convinced?" Leo paused when he said this, and winked at Renault, whose face was very ugly, "Renault, what do you think?" ”
The uneasiness in Renault's heart grew stronger and stronger, and he couldn't help but think of himself as he listened to Leo's so-called story.
"The eldest son has resentment in his heart, but he doesn't dare to show it at all, his father's years of accumulation of power make him dare not think about it, and besides, it is his father and younger brother, he can only bury this resentment deep in his heart, but no matter how casual he pretends to be, the seeds of resentment are planted after all."
"It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous, the eldest son doesn't understand his father at all." Leo shook his head with emotion, "The eldest son who has a grudge in his heart fails to understand his father's painstaking efforts, in his father's opinion, his eldest son is strong, he will become a respected knight like himself, and his younger son is far inferior to his older brother, and the younger son needs not strict teaching but encouragement, and because of this, this father will adopt a completely different attitude towards his two sons." ”
"You...... You ......"
Renault's lips moved, and he wanted to stop Leo and shut him up, but when the words came to his lips, only two words appeared in his mouth.
At this time, Scarlett and Whitemane saw that something was wrong with Renault, and if they couldn't find out who Leo was talking about from Renault's performance, then they were really fools.
The ordinary story of father and son in Leo's mouth is actually the Mograine family!
Scarlett admits that she was very surprised, how Mograini treated her two sons is not so easy for outsiders to know, and it has been many years since this happened, how many people are left after the war with the Scourge and the Burning Legion?
Renault's reaction did not surprise Leo, he ignored Scarlett's probing gaze, and continued: "If there was no next thing, maybe the tragedy would not have happened." ”
Tragic!
Scarlett's heart moved, and she noticed a look of horror on Renault's face as Leo spoke of the tragedy.
Could it be that there is no secret in this?
"The eldest son fell in love with a beautiful girl who had no noble origin, she was just an orphan adopted by the father of the eldest son during the war. When it comes to identity, a girl is not worthy of having an eldest son from a noble background at all, but in the face of love, what is the difference in life and experience? ”
Leo spread his hands at Whiteman, who was looking at him in amazement.
If the three of them were still a little uncertain before, there is no room for that uncertainty anymore, and the story Leo tells is the Mograine family.
"In that girl, the eldest son got a feeling he hadn't felt since he could remember, the first time someone cared for him, the first time someone visited him when he was injured in training, the first time someone comforted him after he was reprimanded by his father...... Too many firsts made the eldest son love this girl inexorably. ”
"The eldest son and the girl fall in love, a strong and brave knight, a beautiful and gentle girl, listen, what a pair, but why are some people resolutely against it?"
Looking at Renault, whose whole body was trembling, the banter on Leo's face was even stronger, and he hadn't reached the point yet.
The father's opposition made the love of the two young people go underground, and even the meeting with his lover had to be secret, and the resentment in the eldest son's heart can be imagined. It was at this time that one of my father's comrades-in-arms found him......"
"Shut up!"
Renault's body trembled violently, his eyes were wide open, his eyeballs were full of blood, his face was distorted, his face trembled, and the corners of his mouth were still twitching.
Scarlett clenched her sword tightly, and the paladin was eager to hear what Leo would say next.
"Don't you want to hear stories? Then I won't talk about it. Leo was very considerate Renault stopped telling the story and moved on to something else, "Renault, I think you've also heard the news that Dassault Khan was possessed by the Dreadlord of the Lord, it was the Dreadlord who was behind him that made the Scarlet Crusader become what it is now, your father spent countless efforts to kill the Scarlet Crusader's prestige, can you bear to watch it be ruined by a Dreadlord who is good at demagogy?" ”
Speaking of this, Leo paused for a moment and accentuated his tone: "Shouldn't you do something?" ”
The biggest secret in his heart was leaked out, and the thing he was most afraid of was known to outsiders, Renault's face was hideous, and his heart was at a loss. He didn't know what he would do if Leo really spoke up about it.
Leo is a warlock demigod and has the status of a prophet, the weight of the words that come out of his mouth is naturally different, no one believes what Farbanks, who is infected with the plague of the undead, and no one will investigate, but what about what Leo said?
Renault couldn't imagine how he would face others, especially Whiteman, after the truth of the matter was revealed.
Fortunately, Leo kept his mouth shut at the most critical time and did not tell Renault's biggest secret, which made Renault feel relieved and helpless.
"You won." Reno's face was full of frustration, Leo took his biggest handle, as long as he didn't want to be ruined, as long as he still wanted to be with Whitemane, he could only do what Leo wanted, "I will gather Herod and tell everyone that from now on, the Scarlet Crusade will merge into the Silver and White Crusaders." ”
"I won?" Leo snorted coldly, and his figure suddenly appeared beside Renault from the same place, "You coward!" ”
Before he could finish speaking, Leo threw a punch and slammed it into Renault's face, knocking the Scarlet Crusade commander to the ground.
"How long do you want to escape, and do you need others to make up for the mistakes you have made? Look at Dalyan, your brother is braver than you, and now that Dalyan is dead, and your father and your brother are puppets of the Lich King, how long are you going to stay here and protect your fragile happiness? ”
"If you're still a man, stand up for me, take your sword, gather your troops, and go to Ebon Fortress to tell everyone that Mograine's son is not a bad seed."
