Chapter 140: Little Annie and Little Vanessa (1)

Welcome, please remember the address of this site: Read on your mobile phone, so that you can read the latest chapter of the novel "The Journey of the Shadow Bear Tibbers"...
In the dim and damp Death Mine of the Westfall, at this time, it has become more terrifying and more gloomy than ever.
Because, here, there is no more popularity, no sound, and no light. Not long ago, a large group of tin people wearing bright white armors shouted various slogans and attacked directly... They wantonly He hacked, and brutally killed all the living people they could see!
After that, not long after, when everything calmed down, this death mine literally became a new place of death...Here, there was only death...
Vanessa VanCleef carefully drilled out of a pile of slag. She didn't dare to make too much noise. She was very worried, afraid that the evil tin people have not gone away. They must be bad guys? The very bad kind...
The reason why Vanessa hid in this pile of was because her father had forcibly covered her with a pile of planks and mine carts before the battle began. At that time, he had also told her many times that she would never come out before the noise outside was over.
Vanessa listened to her father's words very much, so she stayed quietly in this pile of slag, even if there were a lot of screams and weapon collisions at the beginning of the battle, even if she saw her with her own eyes When her father was taken away by a group of ferocious tin people, she did not dare to move more... She was terrified...
It was not until a long time later, knowing that the outside began to quiet down, and until her stomach became too hungry to bear, she carefully pulled out from the pile.
Vanessa didn’t know what was going on here, or why it became like this... She could only use the ashes and flames that had not been completely extinguished, and began to stumble slowly towards the mine. She crawled out...Even if there were a lot of cuts on her body by sharp rocks, she didn't notice...
When she finally ran outside the mine and saw the clear sky, it was already near dusk.
Outside the mine, there is no one living...
Here, there are all kinds of corpses...
Countless black and crushed crows are constantly gathering from high above the sky, stopping on the eaves, among the branches, they... are preparing for a carnival feast...
Now, Vanessa looked around blankly, she couldn't see any living people here...there were no uncles and aunts in the past, nor the ferocious tin people who just rushed in, she was so stunned. I stayed at the entrance of the mine and stood there for a long time...
"Vanessa...want Dad..."
In the end, without knowing why, she just started to follow the traces of the people in the iron armor when they left, took her small and fragile steps, and followed steadfastly...
She didn't know why she did this... She always felt that maybe, as long as she followed the footprints of these tin people when they left, she would definitely find her father, her Edwin father...
Days just pass by...
Vanessa still stubbornly and firmly follows the direction of those bad guys leaving...
When she was hungry, she went to the farmland or the house to steal some food... When she was thirsty, she went to the creek or the jungle to drink some dew... So tired that she couldn't walk, she ran to The farmers slept on the haystacks in the field, and when they had enough sleep, they set off again on the road that seemed to never reach the end...
During the period, she was chased by a vicious dog from a farmer beside the road...
I have also been chased by some bad boys with clubs and stones...
Fortunately, I took a ride in the carriage of a widowed merchant...
Of course, there were some kind uncles and aunts who gave her food and wanted to take her in...
However, she was stubbornly rejected by the little girl Vanessa. She had to follow the path that the tin people walked on, and before these traces completely disappeared, she caught up with them and found her Edwin. father…...
Finally, she didn’t know how many days passed before she finally followed the traces and came to a huge, tall and majestic city... But now, there was a majestic rain in the sky, the traces on the ground. I can't find it anymore.
Vanessa knew that she had completely lost the chance to find her father. She could only let the cold rain poured through her thin body, and then she began to look at the huge outline ahead at a loss. To the city...
Vanessa was about to go to the huge city gate to take shelter from the rain, but... there were two bad guys in iron armor standing there, which made her feel very scared, so she hesitated, just so cowardly The ground huddled in the cold rain, not daring to move forward.
"Hey, head! Look, there seems to be a little girl over there?"
One of the sharp-eyed soldiers of Stormwind quickly spotted Vanessa in the distance, so he began to ask the captain of the guard who was standing guard in the city gate with him.
"Huh! You have nothing to do when you are free, right? It's nothing more than a little beggar. There are so many outside Stormwind City, you don't need to pay attention to her!"
After the leader of the squad glanced in the direction the soldiers under his hand was pointing, he ignored him. There are too many beggars like this kind of beggar outside of Stormwind. Where can they manage it? These things are what the king and noble lords should worry about!
Besides, instead of wasting money and materials to help the disaster, it is better to give him a drink! This kind of beggars and refugees, what use do they do to the Kingdom of Stormwind? Dead and pulled down!
Finally, after seeing that the two bad guys didn’t seem to care about herself anymore, she could no longer stand the cold rain. Vanessa carefully walked forward step by step. She found that beside the city gate, there was A small corner will not be exposed to rain.
So, she waited until she got close to the two iron-skin villains, and when she saw that the other party really didn’t want to pay attention to herself, she quickly walked to the corner of the wall farther away from them and squatted down. Now, here, she It will no longer be drenched by rain.
It's just that Vanessa still feels cold and cold now... She desperately needs to take a good rest, if, if there is a cup of hot water here, that would be great...
It's a pity that no one cares about her life and death here, and there is no Edwin father to take care of her, so she can only curl up her thin body tightly, curled up in the rain. Under the foot of the city wall, put his hands in front of his mouth and breathed lightly.
Don't know why, maybe it's starving? Still tired? Vanessa felt that her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier. She seemed to want to sleep here...
...
At the same time, outside the square of the Cathedral of Light in Stormwind, although today is not a good day for worship or important celebrations and festivals, although the sky is still drizzling, but now here, But inside and out, the locals were full of citizens of Stormwind.
The reason why they squeezed here enthusiastically is because, today, here, they will execute a mob that they hate to the bone-Edwin VanCleef! He was the villain who led the riot in the Masons' Guild before, and now the leader of the Defias Brotherhood, and at the same time, he is now the chief wanted criminal in Stormwind!
Earlier today, the citizens unexpectedly found a piece of news in the bulletin board. Their great King Varian, led his troops, and captured the mine of death silently. Captured Van Cleef alive, the culprit who created the Phidia Brotherhood!
Finally, this evil Van Cleef, he is about to be executed on the newly erected execution platform in the square of the cathedral! And like this kind of lively important event, the people of Stormwind City who are idle, they will definitely not miss it!
Therefore, the citizens of Stormwind City, as long as they don’t have important things on their hands, they braved the cold rain from the sky and got here with extraordinary enthusiasm. They just wanted to see the thug, the Fan Kerry. The excitement when the husband was pushed to the guillotine!
"My lord Bourval...Why don't you tell me about the matter of His Majesty the King's privately leading troops to the Death Mine?"
Countess Katrana Prestor was now standing under the eaves of the church gate behind the execution platform, and saw that the wooden platform had been bound to be strong, and was being kicked by her hand, but still stubbornly did not want to Van Cleef, who was on her knees, smiled, and in a slightly coquettish tone, softly questioned the Duke of Bourval who was standing next to her.
At this moment, although Katrana Prestor was smiling on her face, she was already cursing in her heart!
This idiot Van Cleef, and his Phidia Brotherhood, but Katrana worked hard to play a good game! But now, it was so, inexplicably abolished by that King Varian?
Or... Could it be that his Varian saw any clues to her Katrana's identity? That's why you deliberately kept it from yourself? Let's cut first and play later? Countess Katrana squinted her eyes slightly and began to think about it.
Is all this a coincidence? Or is it specifically targeted?
If it is really the kind of result that she least wants to see, then it will really be a big trouble for her in the future! Maybe, the hard work that she has put in and arranged in Stormwind for so many years is likely to be all in vain. In case, the situation is really bad to that point, it will be the last thing she wants to see.
"Oh! No, dear Katrana, you must believe me, I have not deceived you in any way! I don't even know about this!"
Seeing that the Countess beside him looked a little angry, he hurriedly explained in a panic that he really didn't know about this!
"I have asked the king's royal guard commander before. He said that at that time, His Majesty the King was indeed planning to go out of the city to hunt and relax, so he brought less than two hundred royal guard cavalry."
"It's just that when your Majesty wandered outside the city, without knowing why, His Majesty suddenly became upset. Then, in a fit of anger, he directly led the soldiers stationed south of Shinjin Town and rushed to the west. The wilderness has gone...At that time, they didn't even have time to send someone back to report!"
In Bervard’s view, His Majesty the King really made a temporary motive this time. Not only he did not know about this matter. At that time, none of the noble members of the Kingdom Council nor anyone else in Stormwind had even responded to this. In the know!
"Well, it seems that I really misunderstood you, so let's do it, another day, I will invite you to lunch again, and I will be apologized."
After hearing the explanation, Katrana nodded slightly, then shifted her gaze, frowned and continued to look at the execution wooden platform, the Van Cleef who was still cursing with the executioner.
The more she looked at the other person, the more angry Countess Katrana became!
This VanCleef is really an idiot! How could it be so easy to be caught by Varian's army? How could their Defias Brotherhood dare to go head-to-head with the regular legions of Stormwind?
The countess really wanted to grab the other person’s head and ask: This is obviously something that cannot be beaten, won’t you run away early? Drilling into the mountains below the mine, could he Varian send an army all over the mountains to find you? Are you so dedicated to staying in the mine? Now, let’s catch a turtle in the urn. It’s not easy to catch you!
"Dear Katrana, where does another day need to be made? Why, let's just tonight..."
Just as Boval was about to say something ambiguous to the Countess, King Varian, the Bishop of the Cathedral of Light in Stormwind, Benedictus, and the two royal guards from behind, dignified from the cathedral. Came out.
Frightened, Bolvar hurriedly stopped what he was about to molest the Countess's exit, and stood up straight, pretending to be serious, and looked at the high platform ahead without squinting.
After the heavy footsteps of the armor hitting the ground, King Varian came to the cathedral gate and stood with the nobles under the eaves. Then, he nodded slightly to the bishop Beneditas who was next to him. , And then, the other party also nodded slightly at the same time, braved the drizzle, and walked over to the wooden high platform built.
"Borval, you said... Is it really good for Van Cleef to behead directly like this? There is no need to interrogate for a few days or try?"
Katrana didn't know what she was thinking about, she seemed to want to fight again.
She didn't want this easy-to-use chess piece to be killed inexplicably. She needs to give it a try to see if there is any room for reversal. As long as this Van Cleef doesn't have to die now, she has 10,000 ways to get the opponent out of prison!
"Oh...I also know that this matter is a bit rushed... However, it's better to end this matter as soon as possible! Everything before, don't mention it again, so there will be no more twists and turns..."
Bolvar sighed. He understood what the Countess Katrana meant, thinking that her idea was to first straighten out the troubles of the Masons' Union, and put this Van Cleef to death after the kingdom stood on the moral high ground.
It's just... this matter, in his opinion, there is no way to go into it. Once I got to the bottom of it, it turned out to be embarrassing on the side of Stormwind Kingdom... Therefore, I still caught the opponent now and went straight down. It was a hundred!
This is the best solution for the Stormwind Kingdom that he thought of Bolvar at present!
Fortunately, His Majesty the King was witty, he didn't even say hello, he directly led his troops to catch the opponent back. Otherwise, once the formal process is followed, I am afraid that he has not waited for the dispatch of troops. After this Van Cleef heard the news, he might have been ready to evacuate with his hands?
"Hey...it's a pity..."
Seeing that there was no room for reversal, Katrana sighed softly again. For a while, her expression looked a little wilted, and her whole body became melancholy.
"Yes, it is indeed a pity to kill this person!"
Boval nodded in agreement, he seemed to have misunderstood what the countess really meant.
"Edwin VanCleef is a great engineer, and the planning and layout of our Stormwind City is his handwriting!"
"We have also seen it at the beginning. Under his leadership and hard work, the leader of the Masons’ Union, the Masons’ Union has assembled a large number of people to carry out the construction of a new Stormwind City... This majestic city in front of you In the hands of their group of genius masons, they showed Stormwind City, showing the majestic momentum and majestic demeanor that our Stormwind Kingdom should have..."
Boval looked at Van Cleef on the high platform and sighed deeply.
"No one can question this! In the field of mason engineering, Edwin Van Cleef is indeed a genius... Now, he died with such an infamous method of death... This is true. What a pity."
The Duke of Bourval was so eloquent that Katrana next to him was dumbfounded for a while.
What she meant just now was actually saying: This Van Cleef is a good chess piece that she has finally raised up, and it is so dead now. It is a shame to waste her efforts! Does it have anything to do with whether he is a genius? Why would she care about the other party's achievements in the field of masons? What does this have to do with her? what! This is true, where did you Bovar go? Simply unreasonable!
"Edwin VanCleef, poor lost lamb, may the light..."
Archbishop Benedictus finally walked to Van Cleef when Katrana and Boval were muttering softly.
Looking at the handsome black-haired man who was unwilling to kneel down in front of him, Benedictus also sighed. When he was about to read the quotations from his holy light book, he was bloody. His thick phlegm was spit on his face severely.
"Ah! Fuck away, old stuff! I don't believe in your aristocratic hypocrisy! You, ah..."
When Van Cleef wanted to say something with his face full of disdain, the two executioners behind him kicked his waist and legs desperately, forcing him to interrupt his words and stubbornly stubbornly Kneeled down.
"Well...Then, now begin to pray for the mercy of the Holy Light, lost child..."
Since the other party didn't give himself face so much now, Bishop Benedictus didn't want to do more entanglement here. He decided to shorten the process a little and speed it up.
Therefore, he ignored the drool on his face and let the rain wash it off. He just stepped forward and made some routine gestures to Van Cleef, and then cast a holy light spell to purify and expel the undead on the opponent. , To ensure that the opponent would not be transformed into an undead after death, and then he nodded to the two executioners, and walked off the high platform slightly embarrassed, with a dark face, and returned to the eaves of the cathedral gate gloomily under.
"Edwin VanCleef! Do you have anything else to say now? This is your last chance!"
King Varian pressed the hilt of the sword on her waist and stepped forward two steps, letting the icy rain that was getting bigger and bigger wet her cloak and cloak, she just looked so cold and looked towards the upper half of the platform. Van Cleef was kneeling and began to ask loudly.
"Hmph! Kill if you want! What can you say to you filthy nobles? Pooh!"
Even if he was half-kneeled on the ground by the two executioners behind him, Van Cleef still looked at Varian in front of him with a mocking expression, the so-called King of Stormwind Kingdom.
"Don't you feel the slightest remorse for your crimes?!"
Continuing to keep a sullen face, Varian glared at Van Cleef, who had not repented until he died, and he increased the volume of his voice and continued to question.
If it weren’t for the other party’s actions too much, if they hadn’t killed his Queen Tiffin, or if their Defias brothers would have done too much damage to the Kingdom of Stormwind, Varian really didn’t want to do what he saw. The point of endless death!
"Hahaha...this is the funniest joke I have ever heard in my life!"
After Van Cleef laughed wildly for a while, he began to refute loudly. He first looked around the crowd of onlookers and this magnificent city built by their masons' guild.
"Before you say this hypocritically, please take a look at this beautiful city around you. Please open your eyes and take a look! This is Stormwind City formed by the hard work of our Mason Union! Look! Look, it is so magnificent, it is so magnificent..."
"But! You look at these people around you again, you look at yourself again!"
Van Cleef gradually increased his tone, staring at King Varian in front of him with fierce eyes.
"When you are filled with the joy of returning to your hometown, when you sit on those stone benches and admire the beautiful fountain garden, when you walk on the cobblestone streets to see the beauty of Stormwind City Have you ever wondered who did the heavy work for you? Who did all this hard work for you? And who built a new home for you without getting the slightest amount Return?"
"Ah? Why, you dare not speak anymore?"
Van Cleef looked at the sullen King of Stormwind mockingly, and then glanced at the crowd who had begun to become silent before he started laughing.
"Hahaha... are you dumb now? That's right! We did all of this! We did it! So, I can't see at all, where is the crime you keep on targeting me? Who can? Tell me, where is our crime?"
Van Cleef was like a wild beast, with bloodthirsty eyes, he scanned the high-ranking officials and nobles of the kingdom standing in front of the church gate without flinching.
"When your nobles in Stormwind expelled us recklessly and indifferently, while you so-called citizens were eating dinner in a warm house, our craftsmen union and our family members were expelled by you. A city built by our own hands!"
"When we are facing the threat of hunger and beasts in the wilderness, dying in the cold and mud, and women, children and children continue to die, what are you doing? Are you confessing again?!"
Van Cleef used his last strength, and took advantage of the dumbstruck of the two executioners and threw them away, and then stood up directly. He did not make any other moves, just standing on the high platform. Looking up at King Varian in the distance.
"So! I can tell you clearly! I do not regret everything I have done! I will not confess to the Holy Light! Because I do not believe in it!"
"Neither will I admit any of the crimes you imposed on me! I will not pray for the hypocritical mercy of such aristocrats! I only believe that justice will be done one day! Everything will be repaid !"
"Come on! Now, please come and chop off this head of mine! I firmly believe that one day, the hungry and cold people who are oppressed by you will eventually step on my blood and destroy you dirty The nobles of the United States took down your hypocritical throne! You continue to be proud, I firmly believe that my death is not the end, but only the beginning! Ahahaha..."
Van Cleef just stood in place, in the heavy rain that was beginning to become majestic, just so presumptuously, unscrupulously raised his head and laughed loudly, he laughed so wildly, so unscrupulously... …
And after VanCleef’s words were finished, the nobles he questioned also began to commotion. They either genuinely or pretended to communicate in whispers...
Perhaps, among them, there are indeed many enlightened people who sympathize with the Masons’ Union... It’s just that the current Stormwind City is a maelstrom of murder and blood, and everything is not three or two. It can be easily changed.
"you……"
Bastard!
King Varian suppressed the anger in his heart forcibly, and also suppressed his urge to step forward and hack the opponent to death. After a few breaths, he watched coldly in the heavy rain. The figure who laughed wildly.
According to what the other party said, should everything be blamed on Stormwind Kingdom, the king and these nobles? What logic is this? He didn't pay them the masons' union wages in time, because he, the king, was incompetent. About this, he Varian also admitted!
However, the Masons Union had not waited for the king to face the council and mediate to the nobles, and they brazenly launched an armed riot, and killed his Varian's beloved queen Tiffin! Could it be that everything they had done by the Masons' Union was all right?
After two more violent breaths, Varian closed his eyes as if accepting his fate, turned black and said nothing, and walked into the cathedral.
He knows that this will be a mess that will never be clarified and unclear... It's just that everything will be over from today... For this matter, he believes that time will dilute everything... Perhaps, from now on, this matter will never be mentioned again, never again.
"Your Majesty... what does this mean?"
Seeing that Varian hadn't said anything and walked directly into the cathedral, the Duke of Bourval was a little confused. What does your Majesty mean? Does Van Cliff kill or not? You're a good word!
"Heh! Boval, you are really hopeless! Forget it, since you don't want to bear this infamy, then, this kind of thing, now I am a woman to do it..."
Katrana Prestor shook her head, smiled sweetly, and stared at Bolvar, who was upset by Van Cleef's words and His Majesty's reaction.
"Executioner, listen to my orders...execution!"
After putting on a spell shield to protect herself from rain, the countess walked a few steps forward into the rain curtain, and drank coldly to the executioners on the high platform.
Originally, she Katrana didn't want this Van Cleef to die so easily. But now, after hearing what the other party said just now, she suddenly thought of a wonderful idea. It seems...this useless Van Cliff, if he is dead now, what will happen to her next plan? , It will be even more beneficial! If this is the case, please ask him to die quickly.
Click!
Under the majestic rain, with the harsh rubbing sound of the guillotine when the guillotine fell, a handsome head with black hair just rolled down so quietly...
Now, the executioners don’t even need to deal with those splashes of blood, because the heavy rain has already washed them away...Tomorrow after it’s clear, there won’t be left in the square of the Cathedral of Light. Any traces...here will still be as solemn as ever...
At the same time as the head rolled down, in the rain curtain that no one could see, Countess Katrana Prestor’s mouth pulled up a triumphant bend. No one knew, she was thinking of taking this again. What the did you make...
At the end of the twenty-year winter of the Dark Portal, the Defias Brotherhood, which had ravaged the Kingdom of Stormwind for a long time, finally declared that it was completely suppressed! The bandit leader Edwin VanCleef was already beheaded in front of the square of the Cathedral of Light in Stormwind, in a heavy rain, in this magnificent city built by their masons' union with their own hands...
...
"Hey! You lazy people, hurry up! Hang this Van Cleef head on it! Say you, hurry up!"
When Vanessa was trembling and preparing to go to sleep in a daze, she suddenly heard noises coming from the city gate next to her. Then, she woke her up immediately. Trembling, and looking up at the past with difficulty in doubt, but didn't want to let her see that scene that she couldn't forget in her life...
Her most beloved father of Vanessa, her father Edwin who loved her, his head was put into a wooden cage by those iron villains and hung up?
"No! Dad!!!"
Finally, at this moment, the stubborn Vanessa collapsed. She would never expect it to be like this... These days, when she followed through all the hardships, she finally saw the terrible scene in front of her. ?
As a result, she finally began to burst out the weak power in her body that had been tortured by hunger, cold and fatigue, and she cried loudly and rushed to the wooden post with her father's head...
"stop!"
One of the gate guards had quick eyes and quick hands, and grabbed Vanessa's thin arm and held her tightly.
"Let go of me! Let go of me! No..."
Vanessa still wants to struggle, but it is a pity that her strength is so insignificant in the hands of the soldiers...
"Haha! Brothers, we are really going to make a fortune! Look, this is the remnant of Van Cleef! Did you hear that? What did she just call? Dad? Haha! Great!"
The guard captain ignored the crying and struggling little girl, stepped forward to possess and grabbed Vanessa's dirty face, and then began to carefully compare the head of VanCleef hanging on the wooden stake.
"Sure enough, look at this hair and eyes! That's right, it must be his bastard! Go away, brothers, let's take her to get the reward! Tonight's wine money, can be considered It's gone, hahaha!"
The captain of the city gate guard was overjoyed. He immediately carried the crying heart-piercing his shoulders, ignoring Vanessa’s wet, dirty hands and feet kicking him. He just greeted his companions wantonly and asked them to accompany him to collect the money.
For them, this is really a lucky day! Even he didn't expect that in this cold rainy day, they guarding the city gate would still encounter the windfall that Baba sent up?
"Hey! Who? I think...you must be the kind of bad guys, right?"
When the captain of the guard rearranged the guards and was about to carry the little girl around and head to Stormwind City, another little girl's voice came out from the rain curtain outside the city.
The voice in the rain curtain is Little Annie.
She had just parted from Brian today, and she teleported directly north from Stranglethorn Vale several times before she could barely find the Roshzi Stormwind City that Uncle Bearded Dwarf said!
In the eyes of Little Annie, that bearded dwarf must be unable to distinguish the northwest, southeast and northwest. This Stormwind City is clearly in the northwest, okay? As a result, she made the wrong transmission several times and ran a lot of wrong ways to find here.
What annoys Annie more is: when she teleported here, it happened to be raining heavily here, which made her drown all of a sudden!
But before Annie started casting spells to isolate the rain and dry her clothes, she was here at the city gate and saw one thing that made her even more uncomfortable-several strong human soldiers, they were actually bullying one and A little girl about her own age? Then, Little Annie felt that these people must be bad people, right? Must be?
"Haha, here's another one! This must be an accomplice too! Come on, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com will arrest her too, and discuss the crime together and receive a reward!"
When he saw a little girl walking out of the rain curtain again, the captain of the city gate guard was broken. Today was really good, it was a double happiness! Look, they easily caught the two remnants of Van Cleef at once. After today, they are really going to make a fortune!
"What a laugh! Is this funny? As soon as I see you, I know you are that kind of bad guy! So..."
While Xiao Annie was still hesitating whether to take action or how to punish them, she didn't expect that the villain on the opposite side sent two soldiers and drew bright knives, and wanted to come over and grab herself? what! That's great! Then, they must be bad guys, that's right!
"flame……"
The few soldiers who didn't know the death came, rushed into the rain curtain in ecstasy.
When all they were thinking about were the shiny gold bounty coins they had obtained, they seemed to vaguely heard the little girl in the heavy rain, she seemed to be using her crisp voice to yell something, and then , They don’t know anything when they see a flash of red light in front of them...
