Chapter 926: A Family Portrait
It's one thing to deal with the onslaught of quicksand scales, it's another to go to Karazhan.
Leo wouldn't stop what he was doing just because the Bronze Dragons would come to trouble him, neither would Scarlett, nor would Kael'thas.
In fact, Sanoli really came to remind Leo that if she hadn't made such a fuss, who knew that the Quicksand Scale would have gathered the Time Guardians in the Bronze Dragon to deal with Leo?
With mental calculations or not, these guys will really cause a lot of trouble for Leo.
More than just a reminder, there was something else in Sarnoli's words.
The forces in the Bronze Dragon are divided into three, Queen Soridomi and Prince Anaklos and the Scales of Quicksand are on the sidelines, and now they are going to attack the Scales of Quicksand, while Soridomi and Anaklos are standing by and watching, unless the King of Eternity appears and gives the order to kill Leo, the Queen and Prince of the Bronze Dragon will not take action.
Sanori's quarrel in the palace of Araso doesn't stop there, at least from Leo's point of view, he sees that the queen and prince of the bronze dragon are interested in helping him enlist the blood elves as allies against the scales of the quicksand.
It seems that these two Bronze Dragon Kings are still very much looking forward to him making things bigger and muddying the waters of this world as much as possible, preferably to the point that even the Eternal King Norddorm can't handle it.
The reason for this is that they also saw something that would happen in the future, and they were unwilling to do something, but they were limited by their identities or afraid of the eternal king who had never appeared and did not dare to come forward, so they wanted Leo to help them make a scene.
Thinking of this, Leo couldn't help but laugh.
He was laughing at Soridomi and Anaklos, the two dragons closest to Nozdorm, who were probably not aware of it, and even their Eternal King was in deep confusion.
There is a saying that if you care, you will be confused, but if Soridomi and Anaclos think about it, they will find the mystery in it.
In the war of Deathwing's betrayal, the five guardian dragon kings gathered, and Nozdorm, the Eternal King, was the last to arrive, arriving much later than the other four.
At that time, it seemed that there was no problem, after all, one of the five dragon kings gathered to arrive last, but what happened next made Nozdorm's late arrival this time have a special meaning.
The five guardian dragonlords gathered, and the four dragon kings of Alexta, Ysera, Malygos, and Nozdorm infused their power into what would become known as the Demon Souls, and it was this thing that made Deathwing powerful.
The reason why after that battle, the Guardian Dragon Kings no longer have the intimacy they used to be, and there is also suspicion between each other, is probably because the other few people are suspicious of Nozdorm.
Is it possible that Nozdorm, the Eternal King, doesn't know what's going to happen next?
If not, why are you so late?
Since you know that such a tragedy will happen, why don't you Nozdorm warn?
"How surely Noz is now confused as to whether he should do his duty and watch himself perish or make a change, using his knowledge of the future to resolve the crisis."
Leo muttered quietly, and then his gaze turned in the other direction.
Danas. Thorbane, one of the Seven Heroes of the Alliance, was a human commander who was reused by Scarlett but was secretly on guard, and he was standing in some remote place, looking at his palm, not knowing what he was thinking. Although Danas is strong, it is not difficult for Leo's ability to avoid his perception and get close to him.
"Marshal Danas, is this your relative, why have you never seen it?"
A voice rang out abruptly beside him, startling Danas, who was falling into some kind of memory.
In Danas's hand was a picture that resembled a photograph, it was a magical image, on the image was a man and two women, the man was Danas, the woman was a human woman, and the last person was a little girl of three or four years old, and her long golden hair was very dazzling.
A family photo.
Leo made a judgment in his heart, and could see that this should be Danas's wife and children, maybe it was a wife and daughter, and the baby's surname was Bereo. He wondered why he had never heard of or heard of the woman if she was Danas's wife.
And why does the woman look familiar?
"So you, Marshal Leo."
Despite his somewhat uneasy face, Danas kept his restraint.
Strictly speaking, Leo's behavior is very rude, and sneaking close to Danas like this is a kind of disrespect to Danas, with the intention of snooping on people.
Why is there such a big reaction?
Glancing at Danas's hand pressed on the hilt of his sword, Leo shrugged his shoulders innocently, as if he didn't realize anything, but it wasn't clear what he thought of others.
"It's my lady and ...... Daughter. ”
Danas had an inconspicuous pause when talking about his daughter, and looking at the shape of his mouth, Leo realized that he wanted to say that it was his son, but he didn't know why it was his daughter.
This guy must be hiding something.
Leo wondered even more, was it a son or a daughter?
If it's a son, why does Danas say it's a daughter, and if it's a daughter, why does he want to tell me it's a son, what's the inside story in this?
Leo may not be much to the others, he is not so gossipy, and he will not be idle to inquire about other people's **, but who made Danas the one Scarlett suspects?
"Oh?"
A look of surprise appeared on Leo's face, as if wondering why he had never heard of Lady Danas and his daughter.
Of course, Danas's sophistication could not fail to see that Leo was interested in this, so he had to explain it slightly.
"Marshal Leo should know that I used to be a mercenary, and although I had a little ability, I still inevitably fell into poverty, and my wife suffered a lot with me."
In fact, Danas didn't say this, Leo could also see it.
In the magic image in his hand, the three members of Danas's family were really not very well dressed, and the two adults wore coarse cloth clothes, even the children who needed to be taken care of. You must know the child's skin and squeamishness, if it is really a girl, the unexpected clothes on the body will have an impact on the child's skin, and people with a little bit of assets will not let the child dress so shabby.
It can be seen that Danas was not easy to mix when he was a mercenary, and he did not have a good life.
"Although it was very hard at that time, our family was very happy together, originally I thought that this life would go on forever, and my wife and I would watch our daughter grow up day by day, and then she left us to marry into a good family......" Danas had a little sweetness on his face, and it was obvious that he was stuck in a memory, he may have lived in poverty but his family must have been very happy, "but one day, when we went out, we met a knight who went out to try. ”
Knight?
Leo's eyes flashed, and he had a few guesses about the identity of this paladin.
"As you may have thought, that knight is Sir Lothar." Danas confirmed Leo's guess, "There were no paladins at that time, and Sir Lothar was not very strong, and he was trapped by a group of gnolls. ”
I didn't expect that the first meeting between Lothar and Danas would be like this, so the appearance of Danas helped the Grand Duke of Lothar a lot, no wonder he would be so trusted by Lothar in the future.
Without the support of the Grand Duke of Lothar, even if Danas had the ability, he would not be able to stand out as a mercenary in this society that pays attention to his background.
"At that time, if I saw that Sir Lothar was not dressed like an ordinary nobleman, I thought of fighting, and rushed forward with my sword."
Danas sighed as he spoke, and Leo couldn't figure out why he was sighing.
If it were him, he would have done the same.
No one wants to be poor, whether as a husband or as a father, Danas has a responsibility to create a good life for his wife and daughter, when there is a noble knight in trouble, as long as saving him may change his future, anyone in Danas's position will choose to help Lothar.
"You know, until now I regret why I rushed up like that, why I didn't think about their safety, because I killed them because of my negligence."
Well, Leo got it.
Danas's fight really changed his life, he saved the weak Lothar, but he killed his wife and daughter, which is a real tragedy. Perhaps the Grand Duke of Lothar felt extremely guilty about this, and he trusted Danas so much because of this.
Leo gave Danas an apologetic look, he really didn't expect to ask such an ending, which reminded others of the sad past.
Danas was very generous about this, he didn't say anything, waved his hand and walked away slowly.
Leo scratched his face, he wasn't in the mood to hang out, he still had to ask Scarlett about the Torbane family.
Now that Danas's wife is dead, what happened to the Galen brothers?
If it's Danasna's house-filling, then what about this woman, why hasn't this woman ever appeared? Could it be that this woman is also dead, and if so, Danas is too wifey.
"Your Excellency!"
The guard guarding outside Scarlett's room saluted Leo respectfully, and Leo made a silent gesture before he made a loud announcement, according to Scarlett's habit, the silly girl should be resting now, he just came to see, and didn't want to bother.
Gently pushing the door open, the door did not make any noise under the subtle magic control, and Leo quietly walked into Scarlett's room.
As he expected, Scarlett was resting on her desk, and next to her was a pile of Kingdom government affairs messages that she needed to see.
The sun's rays shone through the open windows, casting a dazzling golden hue over the room, and Leo walked over to Scarlett's side, reaching out to hold a purple strand of Scarlett's purple hair in the palm of his hand.
This stupid girl is good at everything, but she works too hard, and she obviously has so many ministers of the kingdom who can do things well and go into battle herself, I really don't know what to say about her.
Leo shook his head helplessly, Scarlett opened her eyes with a feeling, and saw that it was Leo Paladin who was just resting her head on the table and smiling sweetly, the sun shining on her face, adding a bit of brilliance to this smile, and also adding a different kind of golden yellow to the purple hair.
Leo felt something, and a picture suddenly flashed through his mind, and his heart was shocked, and his face suddenly stiffened a lot.
"What's wrong?"
Scarlett noticed the change in Leo, whose smile was a little reluctant.
"It's nothing, it's just that I met Marshal Danas and talked to him just now, and I'm about to say something to you."
