Chapter 1124 22. Farewell and Reunion

Derek Proudmoore, a man who has experienced war, has also seen suffering and disaster.

He inherited the wisdom and strength of the Proudmoore family. Under his management, the business of Kul Tiras recovered quickly after suffering a setback from the disaster of the empire, relying on the business network with the empire and the federation , the entire Kul Tiras not only did not weaken after the Battle of Northern Border, but became more prosperous, and among the kingdoms of the current empire, Kul Tiras' national strength is undoubtedly the number one!

He has also saved many, many people in times of crisis. To this day, among the common people of the empire, His Majesty Drake's reputation is still very, very high. In the past period of time, when people talked about the choice of the emperor At that time, Drake also received the support of many people. If the position of emperor is really decided by people's vote and there is no shady scene, then Drake is also very hopeful to become emperor.

Moreover, in the past few years, Kul Tiras has been fulfilling its responsibilities and obligations as a vassal state of the empire. The rebuilt fleet of Kul Tiras patrolled the empire's waters, combating pirates, and protecting commerce. During several major incidents, The Kul Tiras fleet has performed extremely well, and after the night elves suffered a disaster, Kul Tiras was also the first human country to lend a helping hand to the night elves. diplomatic relations between.

It can be said that Drake is definitely a qualified ruler and a real wise king.

But his choice in the face of Varian's coronation ceremony this time was surprising. His performance did not meet the level of wisdom he should have had in the past. Even during his quarrel with Jaina, Jaina once suspected that he Did my brother's thinking suffer from the interference of some kind of psychic spell?

In the confrontation between Drake and Tenred, Drake confessed to his younger brother that he could not forget the disaster that happened to his father, and that hatred drove him to make that choice, which sounds reasonable, but If you study it carefully, you will find that this seemingly normal statement is also somewhat untenable...

If his hatred was really that serious, then he would definitely not wait until now, until this critical moment to burst out.

That said, there's a deeper reason behind Drake's choice against Varian, but he'd rather turn against his sibling than confess to that reason.

It can be seen from this that it should not be a pleasant thing.

And now, in front of Dai Lin, Drake, who had bruises on his face and blood on the corner of his mouth, wiped his mouth, got up from the ground, looked at his father, and Drake's eyes sparkled Seeking fire, he said:

"I saw it, father."

"I saw everything that happened on Tide Falling Island more than ten years ago."

Hearing his son's words, Dai Lin frowned. He had already guessed that Drake must have difficulties, but he didn't expect that it would be the reason.

"I saw my original destiny. I should have died in the attack of the red dragon manipulated by the orcs, and then followed my battleship to sleep in the deep sea, until one day I was resurrected by an evil banshee to attack my poor loved ones."

Drake closed his eyes, the horrific scene echoed in his mind, he said in a voice mixed with pain and despair:

"I also saw you being betrayed by my sister, your daughter Jaina Proudmoore to a lowly orc, and I saw you being attacked to death alone on the coast of Durotar...Tanred He will not come back so early, he will be blocked on the edge of that world, and he and his fleet will not return to this world until more than ten years later, when Anna returns to Kul Tiras, which has internal and external troubles. "

"And then...then I saw those things that really happened."

Drake's voice seemed to be crying bitterly, and he covered his face tremblingly, like a poor man who had been hit badly, and he said:

"I saw that you were forced to make a deal with Tyrion just because you wanted to save my life, I thought I earned everything for myself, but no! I'm just a poor wretch who deserved to die long ago, My father needs to sacrifice his life because of me to be saved, father... the one who lives should be you, not me!"

"All this, all that I have should belong to you, I stole it! Tenred said I was a monster, yes, I was a monster, I was born when my father died, and I shouldn't be there at all. Monsters in this world!"

Drake fell to his knees on the ground. In this windy and rainy night, the king of Kul Tiras completely collapsed. He choked up and said:

"My quarrel with Anna was not because I really hated her, I love my sister as much as you love your daughter, but when I see Anna's face, I can't help thinking that it didn't happen there In the historical history, how she cruelly betrayed her father in exchange for the peace of the orc bastards... I can't stand her betrayal, even if it didn't happen at all! But I can't convince myself to forgive her..."

"I couldn't face Varian. I didn't go to the ceremony because I didn't dare to go. Father... I was a coward. I saw Varian's original fate. He should have lived a more miserable life, but he was a A real hero, even in a world that has not yet existed, is a hundred times braver than me, and no one is more suitable for the throne of emperor, I know this. But I can't face him... "

"He is like me, even Garin, Arthas and Liam are everything, we are all pathetic people whose fate has been changed by Tyrion! Garin will become a lunatic undead, Liam After the destruction of Gilneas, he will be killed by the evil banshee, and Arthas, he will become the real synonym of evil, but Tyrion reversed all this, and he gave us a brighter life."

"I've always hated him, Father, I hated him for taking you from me, but...but I was wrong, I was the real fool, what Tyrion did saved the world more than once ...God! The evil I thought was justice, but the justice I uphold is more like a dream, how should I accept all this, father, tell me..."

"How am I supposed to accept this, I'm really, really going crazy..."

Seeing her collapsed son kneeling at his feet and crying bitterly, Dai Lin, who originally came with anger, could no longer maintain the cold anger in her heart.

He guessed right, Drake did have a hard time, everything he did was not his intention, but he also guessed wrong, his son did not make such a wrong decision because he was greedy for power, he just saw the world by accident He was too close to the cold truth. It was a heavy pressure that a mortal like him could not bear. It was a sad reality that should have been hidden behind the history.

Just looking at the pathetic world line that has not been changed is enough to crush a mortal's mind, and Drake's ability to persist until now has shown the firm will of this man's heart.

But he was still affected... Fortunately, it wasn't too late for Dai Lin to find out, her son was still saved.

As for who projected all this cruelty into Drake's mind, and who can completely restore all of this, there is almost no need to guess.

It seems that the last ancient god, N'Zoth, was really impatient. After provoking the great lord Tyrion by hurting his relatives, he once again provoked the devil of the sea in the same way.

Dai Lin knelt down and patted his son's shoulder with his cold hand. He said softly with a gentle attitude that shouldn't belong to the undead:

"Drake, look at me..."

"Don't destroy the present you have because of the past, and don't blame your family for the things that haven't happened. I already knew everything you saw, and I was on Tidefall Island with Terry When Ang signed the life-and-death contract, I didn't have any regrets in my heart, because for a father, saving his son from hell, even at the cost of his life, is worth it."

"I have never regretted my decision, so I don't want you to give up your long life because of it. Yes, your survival is indeed based on my death, but that is what I do willingly Yes, my death not only redeemed you, but also freed my daughter, your sister Anna, from that horrible, sad fate... and also saved Tenred from a miserable life that was trapped for more than ten years ,look..."

"My son, sacrificing me alone can save my family and all my loved ones. This is the greatest feat a father can do, so don't feel sorry for me, my son."

"Father!"

Derek, who was in tears, stretched out his hand and hugged his father in his arms. He hugged Dai Lin's body tightly, just like playing with his father when he was a child.

"I was wrong, father, I have done too many wrong things, take me away, I can't stay here, I can't accept all this, take me away!"

"No!"

Dai Lin broke free from his son's restraint, he stood up, looked at Drake, and said in a deep voice:

"You are a man of the Proudmoore family. Escape is not in your dictionary. If you really feel pain, my son, remember that I exchanged my life for yours. On you What you bear is not only your life, but also mine, so you must live as wonderfully and magnificently as the lives of two people added together."

"Don't tell them, Drake, the truth of what you have seen, never tell anyone else, if you already know how precious and beautiful the world is, then do your best to protect it, just Just as we, the dead, guard the future of you, the living."

"I'm leaving, Derek...tonight, a real farewell, a great destiny awaits me."

Dai Lin's figure slowly dissipated in the mist like quicksand, and his voice echoed in the room:

"And I've been putting it off for too long, tell your mother, your sister, and your brother for me that I love them..."

"My son, let's see you after you die."

Drake was stunned, watching the fog dissipate in front of him. In the cold rain that fell on the floor, there lay a gemstone as blue as the sea, and it was wrapped with the most beautiful mithril necklace. Dressed up, the phantom of a restored keel warship shone within that inner halo of water.

That was Dai Lin's last gift to her grandson.

Drake picked up the gemstone necklace, put it in his hand, and he pressed the necklace to his forehead, like a confession and a true farewell.

The violent storm outside the window subsided slowly, and the stars shone brightly, heralding another brilliant weather tomorrow.

Tomorrow is another day.

"Father..."

"goodbye..."

—————————————

When Drake said goodbye to his father, his younger brother Tenred was staying alone in the captain's cabin of his flagship "Jackdaw". On this stormy night, this heavy warship also Swaying endlessly in the tide of the harbor.

But such shaking, for such an excellent admiral as Tandred, is almost no different from flat land. In the slightly dim light of the captain's room, Tandred sat on the captain's chair, drinking alone. Boozy, a person recalls the past life.

He was born a prince, and he has lived a good life since he was a child. In his life, countless women tried to leave their own places in his memory. De Zeng thought, that was his life, like the best sailor, although enjoying the warmth of the port, but always with the sea in his heart, never really anchored.

until that woman appeared.

The other women in Tandred's heart, those romantic stories have long been blurred, he can't remember any woman's face, but only the white shadow that sinks to the bottom of the sea in the cold sea, the rescuer The elf who sacrificed his life for him...

He had erected a gravestone for her in the family graveyard in Proudmoore, and he called her his wife, but none of that could save the stupid elf's life.

When the prodigal son turns back, it is often only for a moment. Unfortunately, in that moment, the price they paid was too expensive.

"boom"

The empty wine bottle was thrown on the ground by Tandred. He staggered up and took down an elf lyre from the cabin wall. He leaned against the window of the cabin, watching the storm that was gradually subsiding outside, and plucked the lyre. Strings, a hoarse singing sounded, it was a night elf ballad, representing the longing for the lover.

There is nothing more suitable for a sad man who has no love in this cold night than the singing that no one is listening to.

At the moment when the singing subsided, the sound of knocking on the door came from outside the captain's cabin, interrupting Tandred's longing for his dead wife. This made the admiral a little angry, and he yelled at the people outside the door, Let her go away, however, the knock on the door did not stop, until the angry Tandred couldn't bear it anymore, he stood up, strode towards the door, and opened the door fiercely.

But the next moment, his scolding voice remained in his throat. In front of his eyes, an elf wearing a white elf robe and a garland was standing there, looking at him.

That was the clearest face in his memory, and those eyes full of longing and tears.

The elf who returned from death looked at her lover. She was about to speak, but she saw the dull-faced Tenred slam the door shut, and the next moment, the door was opened again.

This slightly drunk man seemed to think that maybe the way he opened the door was wrong, which caused him to have hallucinations.

"Tenrad... my love."

The elf Tiana Xingge, whose face never changed in the slightest, took a step forward. She stretched out her hands and hugged her sluggish man. She put her head on Tenred's chest, listening to the wild beating heart, She said softly:

"Your father brought me back..."

"Are you still willing to marry me?"
