"Huh? Didn't he say it a long time ago? He is a night guard in Goldshire." Arthas was a little surprised. He remembered that his thoughtful partner was not a person with a poor memory. On the contrary, the other party But a genius with a photographic memory.
How could he forget the origins of his companions along the way?
"Of course I know, I'm just wondering, are ordinary night watch guards so powerful?"
Seeing that Arthas still looked confused, Anduin couldn't help but laugh, and then patiently explained to him.
"It's normal that you don't know. This is a unique profession in our kingdom, because the kingdom is located on the north coast of the Black Sea. Although it is not as dangerous as the Gray Valley and requires people to be on duty in shifts, there are often dark creatures that harass the border from time to time. , so every town will arrange night watchmen to prevent problems before they occur, and these people are usually hired by local people and paid by the Stormwind City authorities. However, because they are not professional soldiers, let alone professionals, these night watchmen People's standards vary, and there are even many towns that lack young adults and can only use older people to serve as night watchmen."
Having said this, Anduin paused, seemingly flicking the burning fire intentionally or unintentionally, and then continued.
"So, the night watchmen are not ranked at all in the kingdom's military system. I don't mean to look down on the night watchmen when I say this. On the contrary, I think they have paid a lot and deserve respect..."
"So, you suspect that Wolov is not a night watchman?" Alsace asked.
"No, probably not. After all, his file is on my desk. My father wants to hand me over to this person. How could he not investigate the origins?" Anduin shook his head.
"Then what are you worried about?" Alsace was a little confused, and even felt that the other party was thinking too much.
"I don't know if you have heard of a very rare dark creature. This creature has no entity and can only possess other creatures. And once possessed by him, he can completely copy all the characteristics of the creature possessed by him. Gene, in the end, he will gradually break away from the possessed host and eventually form a creature exactly like the host. In the end, he will accumulate nutrients for the next possession and will completely swallow the host so that he can maintain The image of the host for a period of time until he finds his favorite new host."
Alsace nodded while listening: "The creature you mentioned has been seen before, in the book... wait, you suspect..."
"What's wrong? What are you talking about? It seems very interesting."
As Anduin interrupted Arthas, Li Yi happened to be standing in the distance, carrying the body of a beast behind him.
That's a deer.
"We'll have venison tonight!"
Li Yi happily put down the prey behind him, causing a heavy cloud of dust to rise from the ground.
This deer was very big, enough for three people to have a delicious meal. Li Yi put down the prey and began to handle it carefully, draining the blood, then cut off the larger parts and set them aside, and then cut off the tender parts. Cut it into small pieces, put it all in a bag, take it to the river, wash it, wear it directly, and bake it on the fire.
While roasting, Li Yi said, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally: "What were you talking about just now? Can you let me listen too? I feel...I should be very interested too. Let me guess...don't you Are you talking about me?"
Alsace screamed and almost touched the roasting venison. Then he glanced nervously at Li Yi and found that he didn't care. He was relieved.
However, the next moment, he almost stood up in shock at Anduin's words.
"What we just talked about is indeed related to you, because I suspect that you are possessed by a dark creature. The original Wallef is most likely dead. As for who you are... we haven't had time to discuss it yet."
Arthas wanted to shout loudly: "You guys, don't you know how to hide it a little bit? What if this guy is really a dark creature? With the fighting power this guy has shown, we may not be able to defeat him. , No, you can’t beat it for sure, you, a priest, don’t have much attack power.”
"Oh? You told me so honestly, aren't you afraid that I really am, and then suddenly get angry and hurt someone?" Li Yi glanced at Alsace who was a little restless, smiled slightly, and asked.
"No, as far as I know, this dark creature called 薨 will only consider devouring the host after it has completely mastered the host's genes, all skills and memories." At this point, he glanced at Li Yi, and then Shaking his head, "According to the records in the book, the closer he is to the day he devours his host, the more his temperament will change drastically, making it impossible to understand what he is thinking, and he will show strong violence. I will tell you about these things." I haven't seen it on my body, and the physiological characteristics of the dead body will not change, so even if you are really dead, we will not be in danger."
Having said this, he paused for a while and then spoke again.
"Besides, I don't believe that my father would hand us over to such a dangerous dark creature. You don't think that my father can't see through your disguise, do you?"
"Haha, let's eat first."
Li Yi waved his hand and handed the roasted venison to Anduin. The other party took it and ate it without even thinking about it. Alsace, who was watching with fear, felt flustered.
"What are you looking at? Eat, don't worry, as Xiao An said, even if I am really like that, I won't eat you two right now."
Arthas glanced at Anduin, and then stared at Li Yi for a long time. In the end, his appetite defeated his reason. When he took a bite, he felt a salty taste explode directly in his mouth, and he immediately refused. He chewed hesitantly.
"It's delicious, I really enjoy it!"
Li Yi looked at the two of them eating deliciously, smiled, and said.
"Actually, your father has known this for a long time. As you said, he knows very well that I am not the original Wallef. No matter how you look at it, that ordinary young man from a small town will not change easily. Lord Wa Wang still has the ability to do his job."
"So who are you?" Anduin stopped chewing and looked at Li Yi, "Or maybe you have devoured many people before this, and the one who is talking to us now is just a certain host you devoured. That’s all.”
"I have to say that you have a very rich imagination." Li Yi praised, and then changed the topic, "But there are still great limitations. Before answering your question, I can point out some of your shortcomings. So that you can better understand what has happened during this period, which is why your father agreed to let me take you two out, are you willing?"
"good!"
