8. Vanessa. Rite of passage

Stormwind City is especially lively today.

The streets of the city were lined with horse-drawn carriages, bearing the emblems of the great merchants of the Federation, as well as low-key official carriages or simply young men riding mechanical motorcycles.

These are the beneficiaries of the federal system, or have accumulated a lot of wealth, or have been promoted to high positions because of the federal system, or some famous literary and artistic workers, poets, actors, or some famous collectors, explorers, and so on in the spiritual and civilized life of the federation.

These characters gathered today in one of Stormwind's mansions to celebrate a young girl's coming-of-age ceremony.

Vanessa. Van Cleeff, Speaker of the Federal Assembly Edwin. Mr. Van Cleef's precious daughter, and the Speaker's only relative, will celebrate her 18th birthday today, and then become a true adult after that.

Although there is no too luxurious aristocratic style under the federal system, Speaker Edwin's original intention was to hold a small banquet and invite the original old guys to sit together and chat, but the news somehow got out, and it turned into a large banquet.

Speaker Van Cleef was very unhappy about this, but he also had to join in ... Eleven of the 13 members of the Supreme Council came today, plus he is 12, and the last member who did not come was not absent for personal reasons, and the undead congressman is still in charge of federal immigration affairs in the South China Sea, and he really can't come.

You see, even the simple-minded undead have become long-sleeved and good at dancing because of political reasons, and politics is really scary.

Just pity Speaker Edwin's baby daughter, it was supposed to be her big day.

But let's be honest, Vanessa wasn't disappointed at all... She had her plans, except for showing her face at the beginning of the celebration and saying a few words, Vanessa quickly got rid of the promising young people and eldest ladies who flattered her, and disappeared into the bustling celebration with a swift attitude.

Today was indeed her big day, but not in the way that her poor old father had imagined in his poor.

"Hey, did you get it done?"

After changing her ornate dress for a set of leather armor that Assassins often wear, Vanessa stumbled into a basement in Stormwind's Midnight Garden District, where several children of bears were already making their final salutes as she entered.

Take a closer look, all the bear children of the Dawnblade family are here...

Even the stupid little Yuna who rode behind Arceus put on a set of leather armor for a long journey, Anduin, whose cheeks were red with excitement, was even more fully armed, dressing himself up as a little knight like a cowboy, and Sarantia, who didn't like to talk, was wearing a small set of armor and carrying a long sword and shield behind his back, which was really not bad.

After seeing Yuna and Anduin, Vanessa, who was still expecting it, stretched out her hand and covered her eyes, and she said in despair:

"Why did you bring these three little oil bottles with you..."

Dornan and Tyria shrugged, and Anduin threatened to go to Aunt Aurelia to sue if he didn't take him and Sarandia on an adventure, so what could they do?

As for little Yuna... For this elusive little ghost, it is almost impossible to hide her whereabouts in front of her.

"Wow! Vanessa is here! ”

Yuna didn't have the consciousness to drag the oil bottle, she grabbed Arceus's neck and let the soul deer rush to Vanessa's side with her, Yuna proudly showed off the fish ball on her shoulder to Vanessa:

"Look at yo~ new baby!"

The fish ball on the little ghost's shoulder probably sensed Vanessa's threat, and the evil fish-man who had been dressed up again let out a high-pitched grunt, and the demonic wings behind it spread out, and both hands grabbed the miniature moonblade, which Yuna had made for the little fish-man based on Illidan's moonblade.

The two knives looked good when the faint but pure fire of evil ignited the weapon, and Yuna had covered the fish-man's eyes with a black strip of cloth, which, combined with the demonic horns growing from the fishball's forehead and the evil lines on its body, made it look like a fish-man's version of Illidan.

"Yo, that's pretty good!"

Vanessa stretched out her finger and flicked the grumpy fishball's head, watching the evil fishman scream and jump on Yuna's shoulder, and the originally depressed mood became much happier.

The Assassin lady crossed her waist and said earnestly to Yuna in front of her:

"Listen, Yuna, Anduin and Sarantia, I'm not going out to play this time, Lady Silent Blade gave me the final test, she asked me to infiltrate Silysus on my own, where I hunt down a hidden Twilight Hammer Lord, and Dornan has her own important mission there, and Delia is with us in pursuit of the warrior's blade! This is a very serious matter. ”

"So, we can take the three of you with us, but you have to make sure in advance! Can't get us in some trouble? Otherwise we'll throw you back! Do you understand? ”

"Understood!"

Yuna raised her hand crisply and shouted loudly, but judging from her jubilant smile, the little girl probably didn't understand Vanessa's words at all, but Anduin and Sarandia nodded, Anduin is 9 years old and still a child, but thanks to Tyrion's strict teachings and adequate nutrition and the replenishment of all kinds of rare things, his body is already as tall as some 13 or 4-year-old boys.

As for the silent Sarantia, this girl has inherited the excellent physical qualities of the High Elves, and she is a little higher than Anduin...

And while Vanessa was reprimanding a few bear children, Dornan, who had just recovered from a serious illness, and Delia, who was wearing heavy armor, were also in the corner of the basement, tapping the materials needed for this "hike".

"This thing is so heavy..."

Dressed in draenei-style shamanic chain mail, Dornan struggled to grasp a heavy alien longsword in both hands, this thing was nearly 1.7 meters long, and the snow-white blade was not an ordinary weapon style, but was melted into a double blade split like a tuning fork, the shape was extremely simple, but it revealed a rough and violent beauty.

This thing has no blade, it has no soul, this is the original embryo of a weapon, it is the original embryo that Tella spent a lot of money, with the precious materials collected, and ordered the original embryo from the best forging grandmaster Magni in the Forgotten Kings, this time Delia's adventure is to inject the soul and its due power into the original embryo of this legendary weapon.

"Huh"

The long sword, which seemed heavy to Dornan and required two hands to lift, was easily grabbed by Tella and swung it in the air several times, the whistling sound of the wind making people's scalps tingle.

"The weight is okay... But I'm more looking forward to the gesture of it being truly awakened! ”

The black-haired girl in front of her is 1 year older than Vanessa, 19 years old, she has reached an astonishing 2.1 meters tall, obviously this is inherited from her father Boval Vortagen's excellent bloodline, she is wearing black heavy armor, which is a gift from the Black Iron Emperor Thoresen on her birthday, this set of armor is an expensive enchanted armor, the shape is very violent, embellished with spikes and heavy shield emblems, it is full of power after wearing, and it can also show Delia's perfect bodyline.

Of course, this thing weighs 50 kilograms, and ordinary adults can't afford it at all, but it is engraved with special runes, and when Delia wears it, she doesn't feel a heavy oppression, and if this thing is placed in the black market of goblins, less than 200,000 gold coins are sold, it is considered a big loss.

But overall, it's really worth the money, but it's expensive to build, and often makes Dornan laugh at Delia for going out to war wearing "a bunch of gold coins".

"Ten essentia ingots, hundreds of arcane crystals, and other treasures, and the beard's expensive craft... You spent all your savings and pocket money for the original embryo of this sword, and borrowed a lot from me and Vanessa... I heard that you also took some money from my mother, and you are selling yourself to my parents... Do you know? Little Tyria. ”

Dornan watched with some pain as Tellia carried the cold sword behind her back, and the little hoof girl snorted and said with malice:

"Hopefully it won't let you down..."

"Of course it won't! I'm going to take it to Tyrion..."

Tylia carried a heavy, thorny shield behind her back, then picked up her black full-coverage helmet and buckled it to her head, her posture at this time, like a completely armed killing machine, she said to Dornan angrily:

"But speaking of which, you're not the same... I've heard that Tyrion spent nearly a million gold coins on your warhammer, and that money is enough to crush your little body more than ten times, do you really think you deserve it? Do you want to give it to me... I can sell myself to you for the rest of my life~"

"Cut! Who wants you! ”

Dornan flicked her tail proudly, she rubbed the flame gem ring on her finger, and she whispered:

"My dad said that was the best blessing he gave me... He wants me to protect myself in the future... I won't let him down! ”

The next moment, the shaman little hoof girl raised her head, and her blue eyes flashed with a trace of stubbornness and firmness that was the same as Tyrion's, and she looked at the wind elemental totem in front of her that was made of gems but lacked a soul, and she whispered:

"So, what a wind chaser, it can't let me down!"

"Huh"

Dornan fastened a crown-like elemental tiara to her head, fastened the chainmail gloves on her hands, then grabbed the heavy totem in her hands, turned her head and threw something to Vanessa, she asked:

"Are you ready?"

Vanessa looked at the orange-yellow skull in her hand, like a cut half of a perfect crystal, and she held the crystal skull close to her ear, and she could hear a faint, meaningless moan coming from the skull, like a restrained wind.

She tossed the half of the skull into her storage ring, then nodded to the others:

"So, let's go..."

"Go to Silisus and take ours... The first prey! ”

"The kids are leaving?"

In the wasteland of the Dead Realm, in that oversized garden, Tyrion stood by the thriving tree of reincarnation, and behind him, the face of the Blood Lady was somewhat worried, and she said to her husband:

"That's a Wind Elemental Prince, are you really comfortable letting those children challenge it?"

"I'm not worried, I'm just like you, I'm worried about whether they will get hurt, whether they will fail..."

Tyrion stretched out his hand and stroked the branches that radiated pale light, and at this moment, he was like an old father worried about his children, his face was full of emotion:

"But no matter how uneasy we are, we can't stop the children from exploring the world and conquering it... I told the Night Elves that if you want your children to be weak, give them everything they need, but if you want them to be strong, you have to be strict. ”

"I can't break my word... Besides, it's just a weak Wind Elemental Prince, and if they can't even complete this challenge, it means that I have truly failed in my career of nurturing children. ”

"Speaking of which, did you give those two shackles to Dornan?"

The High Lord asked, and the Blood Lady nodded:

"I snuck it into her package, and the stupid kid shouldn't have found out yet, but... Those two shackles, do they have any special effect? ”

"That's what I asked Director Mavi to take out of her Warden's Cave, it's the shackles of the ancient Lord's War, and if they can defeat Sunderland, there's nowhere to escape that Wind Elemental Prince..."

Tyrion turned and took his wife in his arms, and he whispered:

"I'll keep an eye on them, don't worry..."
