As the pair of huge wings behind Anveena slowly opened, a complex expression finally appeared on Cirvanas' pretty frozen face.
Shocked, vigilant, uneasy, and forced calm, these expressions are mixed together, and I can't help but sigh that even the faces of undead creatures that have lost their vitality can make such rich expressions...
Facing an angel who can be called a natural enemy (although Anveena is not a real angel, but just an angel apprentice who has just started to learn about sacred science, Cirvanas has never seen a real angel, so naturally he can't tell the difference. Come out), Cirvanas did not immediately call the guards outside as I expected, but said in a still calm tone: "I see... Ever since I heard the news of the arrival of the envoy, I have So, today is the so-called Judgment Day? Are you here to purify the undead creatures in this world?"
Are you mistaken? You must have misunderstood something!
However, I really admire Cirvanas' composure at the moment. As an undead, she still maintains such composure when facing Anveena in the posture of an angel. I have to say that she is a very good leader. At least this composure is beyond my comparability.
"I think you misunderstood something." Although scaring Xi a little bit is a very fulfilling thing, but now it's time to get down to business, "If I treat you as enemies, now you are not facing two A special envoy, but a whole army, in fact, Anveena and I came here not to preach the justice of the Holy Light, but to invite the Forsaken to join our army."
At this moment, Cirvanas was shocked...
What? Invite the Forsaken to join the angel's army? ! Has the world gone mad
What's even crazier is that this sentence came from the mouth of a divine envoy! This is crazy! This is simply as nonsense as a billionaire inviting an unknown beggar on the side of the road to create a better future together!
Under my explosive remarks, Cirvanas remained in that dazed posture for a long time without any movement. After playing the role of a large searchlight with her wings spread for a few minutes, Anwena finally couldn't hold on anymore and dispersed herself. That little bit of divine power turned to step forward curiously, and stabbed Xi twice.
"Master, petrified~~~"
The above scenario is purely completed in my mind, please choose to forget...
After being stunned for more than ten seconds, Cirvanas seemed to finally confirm what he heard, and looked towards me with blood-red eyes full of shock.
"You're surprised?" I said with a smile.
"Shouldn't I be surprised? Anyway, the news you told me is beyond common sense." Cirvanas said, I noticed that she used the honorific "you" in her address, which seemed to be believed In the face of the angel Anveena, who is surging with holy light, a person on earth who has received scientific education since childhood may still question our identity a little bit, but for a standard Azeroth resident like Sylvanas, , she would not doubt the other party's identity at all.
"Don't use your common sense to measure our point of view. For us apostles, undead creatures are equal to any other species. Justice or evil only applies to individual individuals. It is simply stupid to label the entire race as good and evil extreme."
To me, Cirvanas showed a momentary sluggishness, and then a huge surprise. The frost mask that had to be kept for a long time in front of other people no longer exists at this moment, and she revealed everything in her heart without reservation. on the face.
equal!
It turns out that in the eyes of God, undead is not synonymous with evil!
Ever since he was sacrificed in the battle to defend Silvermoon City and was turned into an undead creature by Arthas, Cirvanas felt for the first time that there was not really a gleam of light in front of him, leading the Forsaken Such a race that is rejected by all living beings in the entire world is struggling to survive in the cracks, fighting alone under the attack of the remnants of natural disasters and the Scarlet Crusade, Cirvanas almost forgot what the word "hope" means, even though she also Never despaired, but now, she suddenly felt that she and the people she led could not only face the endless dark future!
If the role is changed a little, Cirvanas is an earth person who has no feeling for things like gods, maybe my words will not have much impact on her, but she is an elf who grew up in the magical world , under this major premise, the "God Envoy" personally told her that the undead are not creatures that are hated by the gods. Such a simple sentence will definitely magnify her touch countless times!
What's more important is my last sentence, "It's so stupid to label the whole race as good and evil", this sentence touched her the most. For a long time, the Forsaken have been regarded by most people in this world Labeled as evil and filthy, no matter whether the other party is guilty or not, those so-called emissaries of the Holy Light can kill an innocent undead without hesitation, and call it: Purification, who can accept this kind of treatment
If I said that sentence from an ordinary person, Cirvanas would be happy at most, but when I say it from the mouth of an "angel", the meaning is quite different, it is a kind of recognition, The most precious recognition in the world!
Although in my opinion, that sentence is just telling the truth and has no special meaning at all...
"Calm down?" I looked at the other person's eyes and finally calmed down, so I smiled and said, "Can we discuss the business now?"
A hint of imperceptible embarrassment flashed across Cirvanas's face, and then nodded.
"In fact, we came to this remote world this time to eliminate a very dangerous force. This force has already destroyed tens of thousands of worlds that are stronger than Azeroth. If we don't stop it, I am afraid that one day, all living beings will be completely destroyed by this power, and your world is also being eroded by this power—the Burning Legion, those demons are the distorted race produced under the influence of this power, and Now, as this power becomes stronger and stronger, the demon race is also undergoing changes that you can't imagine... "
I gave a general account of the mutant demon squads that frequently appeared around the world recently and the reasons why they were mutated by the power of the abyss. Of course, I still kept some things that are not suitable for public announcement, such as how terrifying the power of the abyss can be. To what extent—this kind of thing is simply not something that the natives of Azeroth can handle, and talking about it will only increase Cirvanas' worries.
Knowing such a grim situation, Cirvanas is calmer than I imagined, perhaps because she is used to similar situations in this devastated world, she has not been affected by the Burning Legion, she is already stronger and will make a comeback at any time Shocked by this fact, he asked calmly: "That is to say, you and your army came to this world just to destroy the Burning Legion and the... abyssal power behind the demon race?"
"Yes, it is our mission to eliminate the power of the abyss, but the abyss in this world is more powerful than we expected. Without more reinforcements, even the army of apostles cannot fight against the increasingly powerful demons. So we want to organize a more powerful legion, a powerful coalition that unites the entire Azeroth against the Burning Legion. We have sent envoys to every intelligent race that has reached the standard in the entire Azeroth at the same time. The two of us in front of you are the same—the angel feather you saw just now is our token. It is not only used to prove our identity, but also a proof of joining the Salvation Army. If you agree to join, I will will break the seal on the feather."
I took the big feather from the inner edge of Alaya's wing from An Weena's hand, and the tearful image of the angel sister flashed again in my mind. Grabbed a lot and said, and then the angel sister would draw a magic circle on her feathers with tears in her eyes... Enen, hard work pays off, hard work pays off...
"I'm willing to join," Cirvanas agreed more happily than I imagined, saving me a lot of trouble, "The account between us and the Burning Legion is not a sum of money, but this matter Things I have to ask my people for advice, after all, joining the Salvation Army means we will have to fight alongside those paladins and the like-even for me, making such a decision is very difficult, I hope you understand."
"Of course I can understand. Your understanding of righteousness has already surprised me. It took me a lot of effort to persuade a paladin to accept the ally of the undead. I didn't expect you to agree so happily."
"Hatred and fighting... I'm tired of it. The Forsaken are undead, not wraiths. If it weren't for the blind hatred of humans, we don't want to have so much fighting..."
Saying this, Cirvanas felt deeply helpless. No one likes war, especially after being forced by the Lich King's iron-fisted rule to serve as a tool of war for many years, even though there are still undead that hate the living , but there are also many Forsaken who just want to live quietly and freely. Even if it is revenge, they only regard the Lich King and the Burning Legion behind the Lich King as the target of revenge, but humans and other races are blind to them The suppression forced these Forsaken who could have become allies to stand up and resist...
This is just the Forsaken just becoming independent, if this kind of confrontation continues, I am afraid that the entire Forsaken race will completely become an avenger who hates all living beings, that is not Cirvanas' original intention.
I also thought of this point. Long-term confrontation will change the mentality of a race as a whole. For the time being, it seems that the hatred of the Forsaken towards creatures is not as serious as I imagined, at least compared to the hatred of humans towards them. It's much lighter, but I'm afraid it won't be long before the conflict between the Forsaken and humans will really be as irreparable as in the game...
"We will correct this mistake." I looked at the thoughtful Sylvanas and said, "Joining the Salvation Army is also an opportunity. Perhaps in the process of uniting against the Burning Legion, the Forsaken will gradually be replaced by other races." Accepted, if some races are still obstinate... I'm afraid we're really going to have to exercise some godly power!"
I believe that this is definitely a tempting guarantee. Unless it is a lunatic, no one wants to be regarded as an enemy by the whole world forever. A chance to live on an equal footing with all races, Cirvanas has no reason to give up.
