Azeroth’s Death Track

Chapter 276 6. Sal--adding more for the transcription of Brother Ji [1930]

Uh, although my knowledge of the orc clan is limited to the progress of the war, this...

Thales rubbed his chin, looked at the reassembled animal skin under his feet, and said softly:

This emblem has never appeared on the battlefield, from beginning to end.

He glanced at Thrall who was lost in thought, and asked:

Is this the clan you came from?

I have no idea.

There was a little more tremor in Thrall's voice, he stared at the white head emblem, and said softly:

I have never seen it. When I was brought back to Dunholde Castle, I was covered with half a piece of animal skin. In fact, I didn't know which clan I was from. I was... I was raised by humans, I don’t know why my parents abandoned me, but I really haven’t had much contact with the orc race.”

Taresa patted Thrall on the shoulder, and she whispered:

I have always believed that Thrall's soul is no different from that of a human except for his appearance. Even Captain Drake, who hates orcs the most, thinks Thrall is innocent. Trank Valley survived and raised us, but unfortunately, the captain's injuries were so severe that he passed away 1 year ago.

Thales narrowed his eyes. He sat back on the chair, looked at the orc and the human girl in front of him, and asked in a low voice:

You said that humans raised you. Who is it? Your sister is only 16 years old today. Judging by your appearance, she is probably 14?

Sal glanced at him and shook his head:

I am 12 years old.

Um???

Thales' eyes widened. The orc in front of him stood up a head taller than him. He was almost 2 meters tall. He was only 12 years old? What did these orcs grow up eating? Are you in such good physical condition?

Don't underestimate Thrall, you dishonest thief.

Taresa sat on the side, teasing Snow Wolf, and looked at Thales with malicious intent:

He began to receive gladiator training at the age of 4. When he was 8 years old, he killed a veteran with his bare hands. Captain Drake taught him all his martial arts skills. The bearskin cloak on me was killed by Thrall last year. A bear, he is definitely the deadliest hunter in the Alterac Mountains.

That's why you brought me here?

Thales stared at the eccentric girl, and said softly, Do you think Sal can protect you? Come on, kid, I didn't intend to hurt you at all, and I didn't come here for Sal.

He was silent for a moment, and decided to say everything he knew:

I'm here to find Orgrim, do you know him?

Thrall and Taresa looked at each other and shook their heads:

I have heard of Orgrim, but I have never seen him. The tribe he commanded once fought against General Blackmoore. I don't like those crazy orcs, even if they are my compatriots. Now, there are some bad things hidden in their bodies, when Taresa and I were fleeing, we avoided them.

Then there's the problem, Thrall.

Thales said playfully:

Orgrim, who has never met you, is looking for you. Even under the siege of several human countries, he is still unwilling to leave here, and this piece of animal skin was obtained from him, do you understand? ? That great chief, the target of his stay here is you!

Um?

Thrall frowned, and he asked:

Then why did he seek me? When the Horde was in its heyday, he had tens of thousands of orc warriors under his command. He didn't lack me. Or is there a part of my unknown life experience related to Orgrim?

You ask me, who do I ask?

Thales spread his hands and made a helpless expression:

I'm also confused. I'm looking for Orgrim because of a special entrustment. I receive money to do things, and I never ask about the behavior of my employer. If you don't have news about Orgrim, I won't would say that, but now it looks like you probably don't know as much as I do, which is a pity.

He looked at the Saar siblings, the assassin shrugged, and asked curiously:

What I actually want to know is who had the guts to adopt an orc child when the second orc war was in full swing a few years ago. As far as I know, in that brutal war, orcs killed many Human children, and humans have returned with merciless revenge, I guess it should be a big man, because if you don’t have a certain power, it is impossible to shelter you from the anger of the soldiers.”

This question made Taresa silent, she seemed to recall some bad things, she glared at Thales angrily, turned around and left the basement with Snow Wolf, this sudden anger made Thales a little helpless Understanding, Thrall looked at him, and after a moment, he replied:

You're wrong about two things. First, when I was adopted, the Horde hadn't invaded the northern frontier. They hadn't even started attacking Stormwind City at that time, so I was lucky to survive. Second, the adoption Mine is not a big man, Edrus Blackmoore, you've heard his name, haven't you?

Thales nodded, he took a deep breath:

A few years ago, I took a private job and captured a priest from General Blackmoore's castle for my employer. That was the only communication I had with that general, but I heard later that on that night, Dunholde Castle, which was guarded by General Blackmoore, was razed to the ground by the death knights, and even the general himself died in that battle.

The assassin pursed his lips, and said softly:

I hope that tragedy has nothing to do with me.

Do you think that's possible?

Thrall's tone became cold, he stared at the assassin Thales, and said in a deep voice:

When the castle was captured that night, Taresa and I tried our best to escape. I saw General Blackmoore die in front of my eyes. The battle came so suddenly that no one was prepared for it. , my adoptive father, Captain Draco, has been wondering why the death knights came so suddenly, if he was still alive, he would have pulled out his weapon and cut you at this time.

Thales narrowed his eyes, but the next moment, Thrall's voice became gentle again:

But that's him, the soldier who will always be loyal to Blackmoore, not me... I used to think of Blackmoore as my father when I was young, but when I grew up, I realized that he just used me as a tool, as a vehicle for his ambitions , he trained me to be a gladiator and abused me occasionally, but you know what? I don’t actually hate him.”

Without his kindness, I couldn't have survived. At that time, he was only a major in the Kingdom of Alterac, but he took me back. At great risk, he molded me in his own way, taught me knowledge, taught me My martial arts, taught me how to protect myself, I don’t want what he thought at first, but he still made me into the current me, a soul that is incompatible with the tyrannical orc.”

Thrall lowered his head, stroking the worn animal skin in his hand, and his voice became a little sad:

Even at the moment of his death, he blocked the death knight for me and Taresa, I still remember his cry, he told me to run, he said his will will continue in me Come down, he said, and I'll be king of the orcs . . . Oh, what a ridiculous prophecy.

From Thrall's voice, Thales could hear a hint of deep sadness. He didn't know where this weird orc got so sentimental, but he had to admit that this was a fairly good story.

Thales drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, stood up, patted his body, and said to Thrall:

Then you probably won't join the orcs again in your life? Don't you want to pursue your own background? Maybe your parents have no choice but to abandon you? Maybe they are still big shots, chiefs or something.

I won't!

Thrall raised his head and looked at Thales with clear eyes. There was a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth. Even though the fangs set off this smile, it was not gentle, but Thales felt a trace of kindness from this smile. .

I don't want to pursue so much. As an orc, I am very satisfied to spend this life peacefully. No matter who my parents are or what status they have in the past, these have nothing to do with me. I I don't even know my own name, Thrall, it's not a good name, but it's really mine... I don't fit in with humans, and I don't fit in with orcs, either.

I will stay here and watch Taresa grow up, get married, and have a family of my own. I will leave alone. Taresa is a good sister. She deserves a better life. In this world, as long as you are with Taresa's life will be over if she gets involved with the orcs, so I hope you can keep this secret for us.

OK fine!

Thales shrugged:

Your sister is not easy to deal with. She is full of evil ideas, and those dwarves treat her very well. As long as she continues to live in Tarren Mill, no one will make things difficult for her, but it is the price of keeping a secret.

Thales reached out and grabbed two pieces of animal skins on the ground, he said softly:

I want to take these two things away, they will help me find Orgrim... Don't worry, I have no ill intentions towards that old orc.

Watching Thales roll up the two pieces of animal skins and put them in the package, Thrall had a trace of reluctance in his eyes. After all, it was the only item related to him and his life experience, but in the end, until Thales left The hut, he didn't stop it either.

Perhaps in his heart, Thrall also hoped that all this would go away from him, and only in this way, Thrall could truly spend his life peacefully according to his own ideas.

However, at the moment when the assassin waved goodbye to the girl Taresa and the weird orc Thrall, Thales had a premonition in his heart, this different orc, Thrall, maybe, maybe the prophecy of General Blackmoore back then was true , Thrall may really accomplish something in the future.

Aha, I'm starting to think about it again.

After leaving the Taresha and Sal's hut, Thales was like a real high-level assassin, advancing rapidly on the snow. He didn't even leave a footprint in the places he passed. He looked at the sky in front of him With the fluttering wind and snow, I was anxiously thinking about where I should camp today.

In fact, Thales didn't lie. In the hut just now, if he thought about it, Thrall and the snow wolf weren't a problem at all... How could an orc warrior avoid the dagger stabbed from behind?

Could Thales be stupid enough to fight Thrall head-on?

Hey, those siblings are still too tender.

Thales smiled while carrying his bag, and quickly climbed up the cold mountain ridge. Before leaving, Talesa gave him a leather jacket and enough supplies so that he could survive in this minus ten degrees. Keep the environment warm.

Then the next step! Find Orgrim, and take the money and leave!

Thales whistled. He didn't want to stay in this ghostly place for a minute. Next time he went on a mission, he must find a way to go to the warm south. It is said that the newly built Stormwind City is very majestic. He has been I want to see it.

And the assassin who likes to think wildly raised his head, seeing the sky getting dark, he looked back, sighed secretly, he knew it was getting late, he should have rested in Sal's hut tonight, but when he thought of that The ferocious snow wolf, forget it.

And spending a night in the ice and snow is definitely an experience that a high-level assassin will never forget. When he crawled out of his sleeping bag the next morning, the ice covered his eyebrows. It took him a while to let himself His stiff face recovered, and after eating a few pieces of jerky, Thales patted his stomach and continued on his way, but this time, good luck did not favor him.

Throw away your weapons, human!

A roar rose from the snow, Thales turned his head suddenly, and saw more than a dozen orcs riding giant wolves appearing behind him, his figure was erratically moving forward on the snow, as a An assassin who has not yet become a master, in this shadowless environment, it is difficult for him to enter stealth, and after running for more than ten meters, a whole row of orcs appeared on the hillside in front of him, and the leader The one he was looking for was the orc chieftain he had been looking for.

Orgrim...

Thales recognized him, and he also participated in the battle on the Burning Plains. At this time, beside Orgrim, there was an old orc who was blindfolded and wearing a strange robe. Seeing the old orc When he waved his hand, Thales felt extremely dangerous, but before he could dodge, a gust of howling wind mixed with falling snow smashed his body hard to the ground.

Kneel! Kneel!

Those orcs drove the war wolves to run around Thales. Looking at the ferocious spear and those ferocious war wolves, the assassin gritted his teeth. In the end, he threw the dagger in his hand on the ground, half-kneeled down, and raised it Put your hands behind your head.

boom

Thales who was tied up was thrown in front of Orgrim and the elder Drek'Thar, and an orc handed two pieces of animal skins to Orgrim, who held it in his hand, only to see With one glance, his fists were clenched.

He grabbed Thales from the ground and stared at him:

I have no interest in Grom's and Fenris' invitations, now tell me, human, where did you find this thing!

Have you ever met my nephew Guyle?
