11. Covert operations
"Stay away from me, human!"
Wen Leisa. Windranger looked at the human mage Ronin beside him in disgust, the two of them were hiding among a rock in the hills of Hillsbrad, near the Arathi Heights and the Saldo Bridge, and in the evening, a red dragon swept across the sky, which made the two of them quickly hide.
"Don't touch me! Otherwise, cut off your hands! ”
Wen Lesa waved the dagger in her hand, which still had a trace of blood on it, and Ronin had seen with his own eyes how the dagger had stabbed into the back of an orc scout's heart ten minutes ago.
The ruthlessness shown by the Windranger chick made Luo Ning a little frightened, he shrugged his shoulders and took two steps back, a little farther away from Wen Leisa, but the mountain stream was so big, he didn't want Luo Ning to retreat again, and the rhythm of his breathing still made Wen Leisa, who had good hearing, even worse in her bad mood.
However, for Luo Ning, the start of the mission sent by Dalaran this time was not bad, at least there was a pleasing elf girl around him, which made his dark mood a little better.
Ronin accepted the commission of his mentor Crassus to go to Grimbaatar to investigate the situation of the red dragon and the orcs, which was a very dangerous operation, but Ronin still accepted, maybe he wanted to wash away his bad "reputation" in Dalaran, maybe he wanted to prove something, in short, he came to the Hillsbrad Hills alone with a portable teleportation array made by the ** masters themselves.
As for the other member of this covert operation, Wen Lessa. Windranger, the excellent ranger from Quel'Thalas, this time she's just out to relax.
"Hey, human!"
The figure of the red dragon disappeared into the dim sky, and Wen Lesa shook her head, jumped out of the mountain stream, leaned against a tree, and said to Luo Ning:
"Is there any wine?"
"Huh?"
This request somewhat surprised the mage, in his impression, the high elves represented by Prince Kael'thas are very elegant and respectful of etiquette, before he set off from Dalaran, Prince Kael'thas also made a special trip to receive him, temporarily taught him a few reconnaissance magic that only elves can use, and the send-off dinner in the prince's mage tower also made Ronin feel the only trace of warmth in the cold city.
This somewhat made Luo Ning have a good impression of the High Elves, but the silver-haired beauty in front of him subverted Luo Ning's impression of the High Elves.
It can be seen that Wen Lesa is from a famous family, and she has a temperament in her every move, but she is rough and reckless in form, with a hint of venting, and if you look closely, although Wen Lessa's eyes are very beautiful, she can't hide the dark circles at all, this is not formed overnight, this girl must have had a bad time recently.
"Give."
Ronin took out a flask from his storage backpack, froze it with frost magic, and handed it to Wen Leisa, he didn't have any thoughts about the elf, in fact, no human mage would have such a delusion.
With knowledge and insight, they know very well that the love of short-lived and long-lived species is destined to be a tragedy from the beginning.
However, any man, watching such a little beauty drinking alone, will be more or less curious and... Care.
So Luo Ning sat quietly 10 meters away from Wen Leisa, he took out a piece of bacon, cut it, and handed it to Wen Leisa with a magic hand, who took it in his hand, and heard Luo Ning ask in a low voice:
"You... You're from the Windranger family, right? ”
"Huh?"
Wen Lesa's eyes narrowed into a line, and she stared at Luo Ning with a dangerous gaze:
"I don't remember telling you my last name!"
"No, no, no, don't think about it."
Luo Ning took a bite of the bacon and said with a smile: "I am friends with Mares, Mares you know, right?" Nathanos. Mareth, Lordaeron's first Ranger General, is said to have studied with Windranger's Ranger General in Quel'Thalas some time ago, but was accidentally injured, so he returned to Lordaeron to recuperate. ”
"Oh, that disgusting human."
Wen Lesa was already a little drunk, she was not a good ranger, she looked at Luo Ning, and said mockingly:
"He wants to play with my sister's feelings! A disgusting crumb! You should ask if I shot him accurately when I was on a date! Does his left leg still hurt? ”
"Uh..."
The atmosphere of the conversation became awkward again, Ronin did hear that his friend Nathanos was injured unexpectedly and had some inside information, but Maris himself was reluctant to say, and Ronin was not easy to ask, and now it seemed that the gossip about Maris and the Sylvanas General that was circulating by Lordaeron was not groundless.
"But I've heard that Mareth has a very pure relationship with the Ranger General, and that he himself is a polite gentleman, and he doesn't know how to do it..."
Ronin decided to defend his friend, but as soon as he said that, he saw Wen Lesa draw his war bow with a backhand at a super-fast speed, and opened the bow with an arrow, almost in the blink of an eye, a sharp arrow that emitted a cold light pierced the ground at his feet, less than a finger's width from his legs.
This scared the young mage into a cold sweat, and he jumped up and shouted to Winlessa:
"Are you crazy?"
And Winlessa's eyes were dangerous, staring at him like a hunter in the night:
"Don't mention him in front of my eyes!"
There was silence between the two people again, until ten minutes later, Luo Ning lit a bonfire in the dark night, and the two sat silently by the bonfire, Luo Ning secretly glanced at Wen Leisa, and then said:
"So, you were expelled from the Far Wanderer Legion because of this?"
Sitting by the campfire, with her hands on her knees, and without raising her head, she replied:
"You know a lot, human."
"It is essential to know about your companions, and before I left, Lord Lotherma told me something about you."
Luo Ning whispered:
"He felt sorry for this, he said that you were supposed to be a good Ranger Lord and assist your sister, but because of impulse, you sisters had a big fight, and he asked me to take care of you during the mission."
"I don't need to take care of it! I appreciate your kindness. ”
Wen Lesa said indifferently:
"The women of the Windranger family don't need men to take care of them! Just don't hold me back. ”
"Also, I'm curious, I'd like you to answer a question that has been buried in my heart for years."
Ronin's expression also became sad, and he looked back at the Hillsbrad Hills behind him, which was shrouded in darkness, and he whispered:
"During the Orc War, I lost my friends in this forest, and I was the only one who survived, and we were ambushed by the Death Knight in the forest, but not the Death Knight who belonged to the tribe."
The mage stared at Winlessa across the campfire, knowing that the question might anger the moody ranger in front of him, but he had to ask:
"I want to ask you, those Death Knights, Tyrion, Tyrion. Dawnblade, what is his relationship with the Windrangers? Where is he now? What's he doing? Will he ever come back? ”
"What? Do you want to avenge your dead companions? ”
Wen Lesa raised her head, she looked at Luo Ning, the pain on the mage's face was not disguised, the ranger could tell it, therefore, she was willing to answer the question, but her tone was still as bad as before:
"Just you?"
"Die of this heart, Ronin, even if it was Tyrion 4 years ago, he could easily strangle you, let alone now..."
Wen Lessa's voice became hoarse:
"My sister, Aurelia, the original patriarch of Windranger, volunteered to stay in Draenor to save that dark soul, and she was sent to her death! She grew up with Tyrion, and she always felt that Tyrion still had kindness in her heart... Well, well, I admit, maybe he does still have some conscience. ”
Chick the Windranger curls up by the campfire, she hates Ronin, but now, after being away from the upset Quel'Salas in the middle of the night, she is willing to tell the others, especially a stranger... The guy who will die in the mission at any time.
"When the orcs attacked Quel'Thalas, Lilas and I hid in Silvermoon City, and I wanted to go out to fight, but I was stopped at the gate by the eldest sister and the second sister."
Wen Lessa's eyes were out of focus as she stared at the campfire in front of her, and she whispered:
"They took the Ranger to support the frontline of the battlefield, where our mother was lost, and everyone was worried, we didn't know that Tyrion was already in Quel'Thalas, he opened the barrier and put the orcs in the Eternal Song Forest... But at the most critical moment, he closed the barrier again, trapping the orcs in the battlefield. ”
"It's hard to say why he did it, but then everyone said he was actually helping Quel'Thalas, but I don't believe it! I didn't believe a dead man could be so kind until I saw my mother's tombstone, Tyrion, Tyrion's tombstone... Oh, I haven't said it yet, he's the adopted son of our family, and his mother treats him like her own son. ”
Winlessa spoke upside down, representing her chaotic state of mind at this time.
"He avenged his mother, killed the orc warlock, and then pursued him for thousands of miles, and completely killed him in the tomb of Sargeras, these are all said in the letter sent back by the eldest sister, she thinks that Tyrion can still be saved... But what does it matter to me whether Tyrion is dead or alive? Although I call him my brother, I care more about my sister! My eldest sister Aurelia... She stayed in Draenor, and no one knew what had happened to her, no one knew what the cold undead would do to her. ”
Two tears burst out of the corners of Winleysa's eyes, and her voice trembled a little.
"I don't dare to think about it, I can't sleep every night, and the second sister is also very sad, I can feel it, she is upset, she is also worried, but she is always cold, she will not show it, until I find out that she is still dating that human... The eldest sister obviously told her before leaving! And when her family's life and death are unknown, she is still dating! ”
A flash of anger shone in Winlesa's eyes:
"I shot Nathanos with an arrow, I just wanted to warn her that I could have aimed at his heart... Nathanos made me see the shadow of Tyrion, they were the same polite, the same affectionate, the same comforting, but the more this happened, the more I couldn't let the second sister suffer the same fate! I'm going to protect my family! In my way! ”
The stubbornness that came from that language made Ronin shudder, but after a moment, after he had calmed down, he looked at Wen Lessa, he sighed, handed a handkerchief to the ranger, and he whispered:
"Actually, you're thinking about him, right? From your words, although you say that you hate Tyrion, I can hear that you really treat him as a relative, sorry, I can't imagine what my relatives will be like after such a fate, maybe even more extreme than you..."
The mage shook his head:
"Compared to what happened to you, my past suffering is not worth mentioning, I'm sorry it reminded you of your heart."
"Your suffering?"
Wen Leisa sneered, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and she looked at Luo Ning: "What kind of suffering do you have?" How can you understand my pain. ”
"I, I'm a useless person."
Luo Ning was not angry at Wen Leisa's taunt either, he smiled self-deprecatingly and whispered:
"I'm also an unlucky man, you know, the mages of Dalaran like to play tricks on their juniors and give them nicknames, my nickname is... Walking disaster, everything is because of my bad luck and my incompetence..."
In the quiet night of the hills of Hillsbrad, humans and elves chatted aimlessly, in the light of a bonfire, the night had slowly passed, and at this time, in the wind and snow shrouded in Kazmodan, Aurelia reached out and brushed her long dark golden hair, she looked at the north beyond the mountains in front of her, and behind her, it was the five blood elf watchers led by Nasa.
The icy snowflakes of Kazmodan crashed against the group's bodies, but they didn't make them feel cold, because the blood flowing in their veins was colder than ice.
Aurelia reached out and took a touch of snowflake in her palm, her scarlet tongue licked her lips, and whispered:
"It's almost there, Grimbaatar, the red dragon, the black dragon... It is said that the fresh dragon blood will be delicious..."The first free king of the Tang Dynasty
