Chapter 3 Sad Varian

The door to darkness has been opened, and countless orcs have passed through the door of sin. The once glorious and solid Stormwind City has been reduced to ruins in the surging tide of darkness. The protector of Stormwind City, Anduin Lothar, took Prince Varian and the remaining troops of Stormwind City to defect to Lordaeron. In that dusk, Xavier was taking good care of Invincible, the little pony that could walk upright, as usual, when he met Varian. Arthas happily introduced his new friend Wrynn Varian in front of Xavier. He was a tall, thin boy with broad shoulders. He looked to be 13 years old, but his face was a little pale, and his deep brown-black eyes revealed endless sadness."Hello," Xavier's extended hand held a pair of cold, obviously grieving hands. Alsace on the side also realized that his happiness came at a bad time,"Varian, can you tell us about the orcs?" Varian looked at Alsace, holding back the tears of sadness, which he had been controlling for a long time. sadThe dam finally broke at this moment, and the rushing tears drowned all Xavier's happiness. Xavier secretly pulled Alsace's sleeve, and the two comforted Varian at the same time,"I'm sorry, I forgot that your father died heroically in the battle. I believe his soul must be watching you in heaven. He doesn't want you to be so sad. We still have to defeat those hateful orcs."

Varian finally stopped crying sadly,"Father never discriminated against other races. He reused a female half-orc. He once believed in it so much. The orcs betrayed him in the end. They fought together and spent a wonderful time together. But when the orcs began to attack heavily, he changed. In front of the picture table where his father was directing the battle, a sharp dagger pierced his father's chest. Chest. Why was he rejected by his race? His father kindly accepted him but paid the price of death. When his father died, he didn’t believe this was true. Why!" Varian could no longer control his noble humility. Run to escape everything here. Arthas was stunned for a moment. What had he done? He had completely broken his friend's heart."Why did that stupid happiness come at such an untimely time?"""Alsace? Xavier shouted softly,"I want to apologize to him like a man.""Alsace chased Varian away, leaving Xavier at a loss. So Xavier also put down his work and ran as hard as he could, as if he would never have the chance to run like this again. The same, but what he saw in front of him was petrified.

After running all the way, they had entered the Silver Pine Forest, and the snowflakes were falling beautifully. The elk that was supposed to come out for a walk was never there. Oncoming was a huge Spider, Alsace was fighting a poisonous spider. Oh my god, how could that thin body possibly win? Alsace's thin arm was waving a wooden sword, and the poisonous spider's foot flew away with just a flick. Going out, life seemed to be leaving Alsace at this moment, and his eyes full of green light seemed to have seen a delicious meal. Seeing such danger, Xavier didn't know where he got the courage to rush forward and pin down Alsace. The man rolled rapidly in the snow, and the sharp claws carved a deep crescent-shaped groove around him. The two generals avoided this fatal blow. However, nothing is worse than a poisonous spider that has lost its food. Dangerous, it paddled its eight legs and chased them as fast as two children. The God of Death chased them without missing a step. A swift figure saved them, and the snow-white sword light flashed past and cut off one of the poisonous spiders. The foot quickly pierced its body, and green body fluids splashed out, polluting the earth. Xavier and Alsace opened their eyes at the same time and looked at the hero who saved their lives, tall and thin, wide and wide. shoulders,"Varian!"The two men called out the name almost at the same time.

Varian turned around and looked at them, the traces of tears still not receding, but his brown-black eyes were a bit strong,"I'm sorry, it was my willfulness that put you in this situation. in danger, never again. Arthas ignored Varian's apology. He shouted cheerfully,"Varian, your swordsmanship is so good. How about we learn swordsmanship together?""Varian smiled reluctantly, acquiescing, but Xavier, who had been lying in the snow, became a little angry,"Two princes, the snow in Silver Pine Forest is really cold. Can you help me up? My foot is sprained""Okay, I swear in the name of the Holy Light that your feet will get better and you can go on your own."Alsace's joking in the name of the Holy Light made Xavier roll in the snow with joy. Varian finally showed a faint smile, and the happy life of the three children officially began. The child sprained in the snow Xavier's life has not been easy recently because of his feet. He is extremely depressed when he lies in bed every day or limps and sits in a daze at the door. Fortunately, Arthas and Varian can come over to see him from time to time. Alsace Sass is still the most naughty and can make Xavier laugh every time, while Varian is still silent. Maybe he can only be a little happy when he beats the orcs. The two princes were sitting in Xavier's bed They agreed together on the bedside that they would go to the Silver Pine Forest to play. This time everyone must single out a poisonous spider. Although this was a fantasy, it still made Xavier happy for a long time. However, the ruthless iron hooves of the orcs crushed their dreams. The war has already reached Silverpine Forest."The Alliance's shameful traitor, King Alterac, has betrayed. The tribe has easily crossed the Alteran Mountains, and the tribe's army has already reached the city," Arthas said bitterly."I believe that Sir Lothar will lead the alliance to defend Stormwind City. After all, this is our last hope."Turalyon and Uther are also very powerful. They will definitely kill all those savage green-skinned monsters." I hope to hear the victory song of the Alliance soon. May my father's soul rest in peace in heaven."Varian muttered silently."Let's go see Invincible together." Xavier didn't want to continue this heavy topic. National events are still far away from children like them, and the happiness in front of them is the most important. Al Sass started praising his invincibility endlessly in the stable again. Xavier occasionally echoed, but Varian was a spectator from beginning to end, and the smile he occasionally showed was also very forced. Happy times are always short-lived, maybe in the future Good news will continue to come, and Xavier has had another pleasant day.

The days always pass peacefully, Arthas and Varian are practicing swordsmanship, Xavier's foot injury has long been cured, and he is starting again He took good care of Wudi carefully, with a focused expression as if this pony was going to be his partner in the future. When Xavier was fine, he began to think of his wish that could never be realized. He fantasized about the great palace in Lordaeron. In the church, Archbishop Alonsus personally prayed for himself, and the holy light shone on him. Duke Uther announced that Xavier Cuan had become a member of the Silver Hand, a glorious paladin.

Xavier's first Walking into the cathedral of Lordaeron was a sad moment. The late winter snowflakes began to drift. This year's Winter Veil Festival was destined to be uneasy. The orc army suddenly retreated sharply after Gul'dan defected. The Alliance went all out to encircle and suppress it, and achieved victory. A decisive victory. However, the great Duke Lothar was killed in the battle with Grom Doomhammer. When Turalyon, the deputy of the Alliance army, brought back the body of Duke Lothar, Varian and Al Sass and Xavier witnessed this moment together."A heroic spirit has passed away. May he find peace under the illumination of the holy light. Be brave and strong, your monument will be remembered by the world, and you will find eternal peace in heaven."In the cathedral, Master Alonsus sang hymns for Lothar. General Turalyon also said that he would wipe out the remaining orcs and inherit Duke Lothar's legacy. The nuns sprinkled countless flowers on Lothar's body. , the moment King Terenas Menethil covered Lothar with a white veil, Varian turned his head. He didn't want others to see those sad tears. He secretly swore in his heart that this would be his The last tears in his life, he must stay strong no matter what happens. He may have fulfilled his oath in the name of the Holy Light. Alsace on the side has lost his former naughtiness. Perhaps the sadness has infected him, and his body For the first time, the responsibility of being the crown prince made him feel heavy, and he seemed to see the arduous future that Varian would face. Biting his lip, Varian looked at the sky sadly and angrily,"I hate winter!"Varian's strong and resolute eyes ignited sparks, sparks of hatred. When Duke Lothar, whom he regarded as a father-like existence, also returned to the embrace of the Holy Light, Varian completely chose silence. In the last scene The war with the orcs was truly over, the Alliance was victorious, and the leader of the Horde. The once powerful Orgrim Doomhammer was escorted to the capital. This powerful orc was paraded through the streets of Lordaeron, and he killed After the noble Anduin Lothar was defeated by the young paladin Turalyon, Turalyon mercifully spared his death. Terenas was a compassionate man from the bottom of his heart, and the scene at that time was full of ridicule. and boos. It was morale-boosting to see the orc who had so long engrained terror in our hearts end up like this, the butt of jokes and a punching bag. But Orgrim Doomhammer would not suffer in the hands of Terenas. Hurt. This was the first time that Arthas, and Xavier saw Varian's face twisted with hatred, but they couldn't blame him. If someone murdered Terenas and Uther, they would definitely feel guilty as well. The ugly green thing spat loudly."He should be killed," Varian growled in a low voice. When he saw Doomhammer being escorted towards the palace, his eyes were full of anger,"And I want it to be me.""Forget it, maybe living is a better punishment for him, let him spend the rest of his life in a dark dungeon."Arthas comforted Varian."Oh, that dark and disgusting place, let the rats bite his toenails." Xavier looked at Varian's retreating back half-jokingly,"He needs to be alone. Yes." Alsace shook his head helplessly,"I hope hatred will not destroy him." The ancient royal tombs, dungeons, sewers and winding alleys deep under the palace are collectively called the"underground city", which sounds like another City. In reality, it was a dark, damp, filthy place that belonged only to prisoners and the dead, but often the poorest of the poor would find their way in. For the homeless, it was better than freezing to death outside; and for those who wanted to get contraband, even Alsace knew where to get it. The guards would go down every now and then to"clean up" the place, but they never expected to get it clean."Turalyon should take this opportunity to kill him." Xavier also obviously hoped to kill the hateful orc.

Unfortunately, Xavier got it right. This powerful orc leader only pretended to be defeated by hatred and humiliation. Later events proved that it was far from the case. According to the information that Arthas overheard, it was the orcs' apparent depression that made the guards paralyzed and gradually relaxed their supervision. No one is sure how Orgrim Doomhammer orchestrated his escape, as no one came back alive to report it, and every guard who crossed his path had their necks broken. But he left a trail of blood from the opened cell door, paved with the corpses of guards, poor people, and criminals. Doomhammer didn't discriminate against anyone, and escaped through the smelly sewers, the only way out. Orgrim was captured again shortly afterwards, and this time was imprisoned in an internment camp by the Alliance. When he escaped again, the entire Alliance was on alert, thinking that he would make a comeback. But no. Maybe Doomhammer is finally dead, maybe his fighting spirit has finally been drained.
