Chapter 17: Parting and arriving

"Well? Didn't you say you have a year off?"
"The trolls near Quel'Thalas were a little changed. The horrible old men who were afraid of death sent me back with an urgent order."
Soon after they met, Duke was still very grateful to Aurelia, and suddenly heard that this genuine gold thigh was about to go, Duke still felt a little bit lost.
"So I wish you all the best."
Aurelia froze. The word Bon Voyage is definitely the best wish for a windrunner. Unconsciously, Duke warmed her irritable heart.
"Well, you inadvertently coaxed me again. Then tell you a little thing. If you are in trouble, go to him." Then, Aurelia lost a little thing.
Duke took a look at it, and it was a small silver ornament with a name engraved in high elven language.
Duke was desperate: "I don't speak high elves."
"Then learn! Although I am a windrunner, from the Ranger family who has been walking in the forest for generations, I still have to say-the magic of the high elves is the greatest magic!" Exposed. Alleria raised her proudly.
Well, you have big breasts, you have the final say.
"Yes, yes." Duke did not refute, after all, the boss who played magic in Azeroth was still a high elf.
"Hey, why are you trying to send me away?"
"No no no, how is this possible!" Duke quickly sighed.
"Hum--" Aurelia suddenly jumped to the tree, holding her right elbow with her left hand, and gently holding her chin with her right hand. She sat on a branch and looked at Duke, and suddenly changed the subject: "Actually I envy you. "
"Ok?"
"You are young, energetic, and not afraid of power. Unlike me, you are clearly a ranger general, but in the presence of the councillors, I am afraid that I am not even as good as a self-conscious magic construct. So when I saw you I was very happy when I fanned the noble master. "
Hey! You really peeped!
"I thought, if only I had the courage to hit those legislators with a few slaps. Unfortunately, I can't do it ... I am the eldest daughter of the Windrunners' family. Face, because my every move will be magnified infinitely. "
Suddenly hearing Aurelia's bitterness, Duke was silent.
"So, the curious me you see is definitely not me on weekdays. After returning this time, I'm the serious and unsmiling Ranger general again. Of course, it's because Quel'Thalas and Stormwind Kingdom Almost a thousand miles apart, we will never have a chance to see you again in my life, I will tell you this. Seriously, I want to thank you. At least these two days you made me feel interesting and very happy. "
Duke suddenly laughed and asked tentatively, "So ... we're friends now?"
Aurelia shook her head: "No, the high elves are not interested in making friends with humans. It should be said that we all avoid being friends with humans. Because of the infinite life of high elves, human life is too short. Humans The dozens of years of life are a snooze for us. When we are in love, we suddenly can't bear life and death so quickly, we will feel unbearable. "
Duke sighed: Sure enough, the values ​​of different races are very different.
But Duke smiled mysteriously: "But I have a hunch, I will see you again in 5 years."
"5 years? Impossible! Those bad old men will call me. I have not been on the front line for less than 50 years. Our front line will not allow humans to approach."
"Then we'll make a bet. If we meet again within five years, then you swear to be my friend?" I don't know why, Duke secretly added a "female" in front of "friend".
"Huh! Bet on it!" Aurelia was unbelievable about the magic stick, she was holding her chest in her hands, as if looking at a daydreaming little guy.
Well, to her, Duke is a crazy little guy.
Alleria was gone, and in her mind at this moment, Duke, the human fellow, was just a passenger. She had no idea that she was being counted by Duke.
If Duke's calculations are correct, the [Dark Door] incident will erupt in five years, and her Aurelia, as a member of the alliance, will once again come to the human world to join forces to resist the invasion of the orcs ...
The next morning, Duke was on the road again, and he spent almost the next two days in a carriage.
Sitting on the carriage, with the body constantly bumping, Duke found himself adapting to the world of Azeroth. I had a feeling of vomiting shortly after I got in the car, and I'm used to it now.
But what made Duke feel a lot more was what happened on the road: "Even as the most peaceful Elwynn Forest, ordinary people can't travel alone!"
The wagon convoy was attacked.
Old Norton did not take the three apprentices alone on the road. Accompanying him was his magical apprentice Sasha, and a heavily armed sixteen guard. Together with the coachman and the servants, there were more than twenty people and three carriages with nearly thirty horses.
Even a Duke lineup that looked extremely luxurious was still under attack.
The next night, it was attacked by hundreds of Timberwolves and driven away by Old Norton several [Fire Walls].
The third night was a werewolf. These half-tall, human-headed wolf-headed monsters are more brutal than Duke encountered in the game.
These cunning and fierce predators will not only sneak in at night, but also come in groups, holding crossbow arrows to put cold arrows in the grass, trying to disrupt the team's defensive camp and then besieging.
Duke, protected by six shield guards, saw with his own eyes a servant not far from him was shot through the neck by a crude crossbow.
Looking at the dying face, the blood-sucking mouth still opened and closed hard. Duke, who thought he was getting used to the world of Azeroth, felt a sense of suffocation again.
Death-Even if you know you can try it many times, you will never get used to it!
The 1% humanity restored in the North County Abbey certainly made Duke happy. But I always feel that this is not a simple method. It's still a time of peace. Once the war comes, don't fall too fast!
By Duke's side, Daniel and Itana seemed normal. When Duke asked them, the answer was: "In this world of monsters everywhere, the dead are the most common."
Duke was a little speechless.
Fortunately, finally, in the evening of the third day, he arrived in Stormwind City.
