The reason why I went to the appointment alone before was because hundreds of brothers were just outside the door, with an arrow piercing the clouds and thousands of troops coming to meet me.
Now the kidnappers just gave the teleportation coordinates and expected Carlos to attend the meeting alone.
Don't make trouble. If you fall into it, who will rescue Ilucia?
So Carlos was betting that the kidnappers would contact him again if they didn't get a positive answer.
Although there is the possibility of kidnapping, Carlos must endure the mental torture.
The simplest logic.
If the kidnapper's goal is the Book of Medivh, or Kalos. Then Ilucia's role as a hostage is irreplaceable.
Even if the kidnappers want to force Carlos to surrender by hurting Ilucia, they have to put fingers, ears, blood letters, etc. in Carlos' hands.
But Carlos openly declared that he would conduct short-term ascetic training in the largest church in Alterac City and would not see anyone at all, which made it difficult for the kidnappers.
Can a blind man not see a ferocious expression?
Even the object of the threat no longer exists, and the act of threatening itself becomes a useless exercise in venting anger.
Although the possibility of the kidnapper harming Ilucia's life in anger cannot be ruled out.
But this was already the last resort when Carlos couldn't think of any other solution.
Fortunately, he was right.
In the closed confessional, the only door to the outside world opened.
"Please allow me to introduce myself, Your Majesty the King. I am a loyal servant of my master, named Nigda Sabi. As you can see, I am a mage. And Your Majesty the King, your sister is now in my hands."
Carlos, who was wearing a brown linen smock, slowly stood up from the ground and ended his less focused meditation.
Because you keep doing the same thing for a long time. Carlos's legs and feet were a little numb, and his muscles were a little stiff, but these did not prevent him from walking in front of Master Nige with a sense of oppression. Looking down at the kidnapper from a high position.
"You have three sentences to give your last words."
Carlos suppressed his anger and said in a cold tone.
"No. No, no, Your Majesty, the initiative is now in my hands. I have to say that you have added a lot of workload."
"one."
Carlos observed carefully and determined that this Nige was the owner of the shadow in Khadgar's spell.
"Oh, noble King Carlos. You scare me."
Nige patted his chest in an exaggerated manner.
"two."
"Well, it seems that our King is a ruthless guy and doesn't care about his sister's life or death, so we have to..."
Carlos grabbed the paw in his right hand and grabbed the throat of the mage Nige, and lifted him into the air with one hand.
The mage had no idea that human beings could be so powerful and so fast that he could not react at all. He could only use his arms to pinch Carlos's wrists in vain, and kicked him hard with both feet, trying to escape from Carlos's control. .
"You talk too much nonsense. This time tomorrow. Twenty miles southwest of the city, under three lightning trees. The Book of Medivh is exchanged for Ilucia. If you like, exchange. If you don't exchange, get out."
After finishing speaking word by word, before Nige reached his limit, Carlos let go of his hand and watched indifferently as the mage collapsed to the ground, breathing heavily, his chest rising and falling like a toad, and he was coughing violently. The "sharp" sound.
The violent coughing lasted for about a hundred and fifty times, and Master Nige was finally able to speak intermittently.
"Cough cough cough cough, master... master... master. Cough cough cough cough, no. Yes, I will let... you go. Cough cough cough, cough cough cough."
"get out."
Carlos waved his hand impatiently.
After a short while, Master Nige's coughing and wheezing finally subsided, but it could be heard from his voice that Carlos's rough actions had completely damaged his vocal cords. His voice, which was still magnetic at first, was now like a broken bellows. Just as hoarse.
"I said, the initiative is in our hands. Before the sun goes down tomorrow, there is an abandoned tower southwest of the three-way intersection leading to Beishan Ranch. The transaction is conducted there. You can bring up to ten people with you. If there is one more, I will take your place. Sister, collect the body, you hypocritical paladin."
"snort."
Carlos snorted disdainfully.
"Hahahaha, cough, cough, cough, I know how the guy who can be the king can be a pedantic paladin. From the fact that you blocked the news, I can see that you don't care about your sister's life or death at all, you only care about your own reputation! "
Nige had a look of hatred on his face that had seen through everything.
"Do you need me to count to three?"
Carlos asked back, and Nigel's expression changed drastically and he quickly left the confession room.
"Do you need me to track him?"
After Brother Bald waited for Nige to leave, he ducked into the confession room and asked Carlos in a low voice.
"No, don't underestimate any mage. Just trust Khadgar's spells at this time. Then, prepare people who are good at infiltration and assassination in case of trouble."
Carlos knelt down again, facing away from the door.
Brother Bald couldn't get any more instructions, so he had to exit the confessional and help Carlos close the door.
In this claustrophobic confessional room, Carlos was not confessing and praying to illusory gods, but was sorting out his thoughts through meditation.
Too many disputes and complications consumed so much of his energy that Carlos felt a little confused.
Too much praise covered his tender heart. After reflection, Carlos understood a truth.
The world never revolves around you.
Whether he travels through time or is reborn, he is no different from others.
But for the world of Azeroth, there shouldn’t be too many people who travel through time and are reborn, dead and alive again.
I want a good life and a happy ending for everyone.
Then risk your life!
"You can't refuse what I give you, and you will take what I want."
Carlos' thoughts flowed, and finally he softly uttered these words.
You can't be spineless as a man, and you can't be domineering as a king.
Since the Ilucia kidnapping case, I have been passively responding to it. Although from the perspective of my family, there is nothing wrong with putting the safety of the hostages' lives as the top priority.
But what to do next.
Do you not let your family go out because you are afraid of being kidnapped?
Sure enough, a good person is bullied by others, and a good horse is ridden by others.
You are still too weak. If you have that kind of power, the kind of power that no one dares to capture, who would dare to take advantage of your family and friends!
Carlos had a strange feeling that he knew his thinking was biased, but he didn't feel it was wrong.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and a clue he had forgotten appeared.
In the human world, especially in this era, mages are not a common commodity. Even mage apprentices are very valuable resources. And whether it was the guy who was trampled to death or the guy who was just hung up, they all kept calling a certain guy "master".
If you are an ordinary person, you will probably think that there is someone behind them, and there is a mysterious force supporting them. But after Carlos turned this corner, his thoughts became clear.
In Azeroth, "master" may also be a reference to something indescribable!
Calculating time, Gul'dan should have found the Broken Islands and even entered the Tomb of Sargeras.
Originally, Carlos had been worried about what would happen if history went awry and Gul'dan obtained the Eye of Sargeras and inherited the power left by Sargeras in Azeroth.
However, this sudden kidnapping gave Carlos a new idea.
Gul'dan died, just as he deserved. In the eyes of Sargeras, Gul'dan's existence was not worth mentioning.
Cho'gall was still alive, as if he had been destined to do so. After being rewarded by its "master", the two-headed beast should have gone to Silithus to complete his heinous mission.
If these speculations are true, then everything has an explanation.
The Church of Twilight will appear soon.
The ancient gods are coming. To be continued.
