17. Rescuers
"Second sister..."
In the most heavily guarded mana cage on Queldanus Island, the silver-haired Winlessa leaned boredly against the edge of the purple mana cage as she whispered to the other prisoner next to her.
After hearing his sister's call, Sylvanas, who was also leaning against the side of the magic cage, but his face was pale and seriously injured, snorted:
"What's wrong?"
"I'm sorry."
Wenlesa whispered:
"It's all my fault... I'm too naΓ―ve, Darkan has set a trap for us, and I stepped into it without even thinking about it, not only for you, but now for my eldest sister. β
"yes, you really should say you're sorry."
Sylvanas flipped her body with some difficulty, she let out a groan of pain, her fingers stroking the bandage on her abdomen, and she whispered:
"If you can't control a power, you'd better not use it in combat... Look at what you've done to me, I can't stop Aurelia right now. β
"You should have avoided it."
Wen Lesa said with a look of lovelessness:
"You should be able to dodge..."
"I thought you were just expressing your frustration and anger... Which sister will guard against a sudden attack by a silly sister? β
Sylvanas said irritably:
"Who knew you'd get a crazy punch and it would be so powerful... Did you really drink the blood of the Dragon King? β
"I didn't drink it!"
Winlessa retorted:
"That thing can't be drunk directly, it's like magma, drinking it will only burn through your stomach, I will only absorb a little bit every month, the eldest sister actually left you a copy, but I put it in Luo Ning's place, it doesn't matter if you hurt you, as long as we can get out, just a little dragon blood essence, you can recover as before."
"Ah, genius, you're such a genius."
Sylvanas smiled wryly, turned over with difficulty, and whispered:
"I may be out soon, but you, no one knows how long you're going to be locked up here, the council insists that you have something to do with the attack on the Red Dragon Queen, and you refuse to give the details of your eldest sister's involvement, those cowards will definitely hide your existence in order to prevent the dragon from seeking revenge... Maybe you'll be locked up for hundreds of years. β
"I used to think that humans and Tyrion were boring enough, but now I know that the darkest thing is our home."
Winlessa grabbed her hair, and she whispered:
"When you are safe, second sister, I will escape from here, and Luo Ning will leave Quel'Salas far away, away from those scheming bastards, and never come back, even if I go to the eldest sister, it is much better than staying here and being bullied."
"How are you going to escape? Winlessa. β
Sylvanas's voice was low:
"This mana cage is built just under the sunwell, it's the most heavily guarded area of Quel'Thalas, so even if you get out of the way, where can you run to the sea? Maybe those bastards will send me to get you, just like this one... It's disgusting to see our sisters cannibalizing each other, and those bastards like this kind of drama. β
"Tyrion!"
Winlesa uttered a name, and she whispered:
"Do you think Tyrion will let them keep his dear sister in a cage for hundreds of years? He won't... He and his sister will come to save me, he is not only an older brother, but now a brother-in-law... Or, you can refuse them and leave Quel'Thalas with me, and after this incident, will you still be as loyal to Quel'Thalas as you were before? Even if they hurt your loved ones. β
"Well, I can't, sister."
The two sisters, who had fought so much, opened their hearts in this dark cage, probably because of the weakness of their bodies, and Sylvanas's usual indifferent appearance was also removed, and she folded her arms alone, leaned against the magic cage, and said to her sister:
"In general, there is a person who stands up to uphold the tradition of the Windrangers, and gives everything for the motherland, it used to be a mother, and now it is me, as long as there is one person who pays loyalty, maybe you are right, now Quel'Salas, a power sorcerer like Darkan is rampant, it is no longer worthy of the Windranger to be buried for it."
"Bang"
While the two were talking, the door of the black tunnel of the mana cage was opened, and Sylvanas and Wenlesa raised their heads at the same time, and saw a very vigilant group of four of the flame blade ** masters guarding the sun well, imprisoning a large blood-red gem with magic power, making it levitate above the ground, and under the guard of an astonishing number of spell breakers, this red gem was carefully imprisoned in the cage below the sun well.
The mana cage was different from the cage that the two Windranger sisters were in, it was directly charged by the energy of the sun well, and the golden mana thread was wrapped around the cage, and after the flame blade ** masters who didn't say a word left, Sylvanas stared at the blood-colored gem not far away, and after a moment, her golden eyes showed a trace of undisguised sadness.
And beside her, Wen Lesa knelt on the ground with a painful face... In front of them, in the golden cage, in the irregular blood-red gem, like a frozen princess in the ice, Aurelia with her eyes closed and her face full of pain. The Windranger, the Blood Master of the Dark Blade, is being sealed in it, without the breath of life, as if she had... Dead in general.
"It's ironic..."
Sylvanas reached out and wiped the corners of her eyes, and she whispered:
"The three sisters who have been separated for a long time are actually reunited in this scene, mother, have you seen it? That's what you're giving your life for... Quel'Salas. β
ββββββββββββββ
Corona Village, a town at the intersection of the Eternal Song Forest and the Southern Forest of Quel'Salas, is supposed to be a small but beautiful town, where General Lilesa of the Windranger Family established her headquarters to meet the incoming orc army a few years ago, and is said to have been killed in battle near Corona Village.
Now, Corona Village is in ruins, not destroyed by the fire, but by the silent blood demon in the quiet night of last night.
"You should eat."
Kordana handed a roasted crab to a shivering little elf girl, and she patiently said to the frightened child:
"Obedient, you're not like us, you have to eat to live."
"Kodana, don't be stupid, this kid is frightened, maybe stupid."
The orc death knight Tur led the knights to rummage through the ruins, trying to find some survivors, but no, buried under the ruins were the terrifying remains of blood-sucked up, and in the purest burst of the blood of the ancestors of Sarein, these High Elf civilians could not have survived.
But that child, that little girl, she was the only survivor of Corona Village, and she didn't know why Aurelia who was in a blood frenzy at that time would let her go, maybe, maybe it was this child who reminded Aurelia of her daughter... But now it is impossible to verify.
"What can I do!"
Looking at the stupid little girl in front of her, Kodana also had a little headache, last night, after witnessing Aurelia's madness, Kodana and the Death Knights have been following her far behind, in order to avoid irritating the blood master, this distance is very far, and earlier today, after a large-scale explosion of the golden sunwell energy, they completely lost the trace of Aurelia.
So the little girl found now is probably the only child who knows where Aurelia ended up.
"We must find out the whereabouts of the Mistress before Her Majesty personally kills Quel'Thalas, and hopefully she won't rush all the way to Silvermoon City."
The Blood Warden stuffed the roasted crab in her hand into the hands of the stupid girl in front of her, she leaned to the side a little dejectedly, this journey was a nightmare, all kinds of things that shouldn't happen happened frequently, and now, Kodana's biggest concern was not that Aurelia was captured by the High Elves, from the previous situation, the High Elves set up an ambush to capture the Mistress, just to threaten His Majesty.
In that case, Aurelia would not be in danger of her life, and what Kordana feared most now was that Aurelia would suddenly wake up from the madness of blood, and once the good mistress realized what terrible slaughter she had done, she would probably deny herself from the inside...
Once the Mistress is lost in endless guilt, and His Majesty's anger is unappeased, then they can only be the vehicle to bear the king's wrath, and she may encounter a more terrible end than Nasa.
"Chief Kodana, we've found someone! Come on! By the sea! β
The spiritual connection of a high-ranking knight sounded in Kodana's heart, and this voice immediately moved the busy death knights in the ruins, and ten minutes later, Kodana came to the mouth of the forest river in the middle of Quel'Thalas, and on the deserted coastline, several death knights were standing by a Sarein elf who was burned in the eye.
Kordana stepped forward, half-kneeling beside the strange Sarein, who she could see was wearing silver armor, but the armor had been melted in the extreme heat, and he himself seemed to have suffered a terrible energy attack, as if he had been thrown into a furnace to melt and reassemble.
"He's dying, it's terrible."
The Blood Watcher looked left and right, and there was no creature around him that could drain the blood of the dying Salen, and once the strange Salein in front of him died, Aurelia's last whereabouts would be a mystery.
Just as Kordana looked at the silly little girl behind her with a dangerous gaze, the sound of a rope was heard in the dense forest behind her, which alarmed the Death Knights, who were quickly put into battle despite the hard work of being suppressed by the Banty Renor Line.
A moment later, a young mage in a robe, walked out of the forest, followed by a human black-haired ranger wearing ranger chain mail, carrying a war bow and wielding two swords.
"It's you! What are you doing here? β
Kodana had also participated in the Battle of Grimbaatar a few years ago, and she recognized the young human mage at a glance, it was Ronin, a human who had been entrusted to her sister by His Majesty.
"Don't be nervous, Mareth."
Luo Ning whispered to the human ranger general who was waiting around him:
"They are not enemies, at least for now, they are on our side."
And the human ranger general beside him had an ugly look on his face, and he whispered:
"I knew you had secrets, Ronin, but I didn't expect you to hang out with a bunch of filthy undead."
Ronin ignored Mares's complaints, he opened his arms, took a few steps towards Kodana, and then took out a bottle of bright red liquid from the pocket on his belt and threw it to Kodana:
"Give this thing to Salein beside you to drink, the diluted dragon's blood, it can save his life, as for what I'm here for..."
A hint of determination flashed in Luo Ning's black eyes, and he said in a deep voice:
"I'm here to save my wife, Mares is here to save his ex-girlfriend, let me guess, you're hiding here to find a way to save the blood housemother, right? It seems that our purpose is the same. β
"How?"
Kordana asked, handing the dragon's blood in his hand to Tur, the orc death knight half-knelt on the ground, twisted the bottle, put it to his mouth and sniffed, as the first batch of death knights to receive dragon blood reinforcement, he could distinguish the smell of dragon blood, after confirming that it was correct, the orc slowly poured the liquid on Sarein's body at his feet.
As for why not give him a drink... Uh, his whole face melted and he couldn't find a mouth at all.
And in the face of the question of the Blood Watcher, Luo Ning breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the Silver Moon City in the distance, and said softly:
"Winlessa was captured, and the conspirators of Silvermoon City, in order to capture Aurelia without being disturbed, simply put the seriously injured General Sylvanas into a cage, in the name of "protection"... If the Blood Mother is also unfortunate enough to be captured, the three sisters of the Windranger family may be locked up together at this time. Listen to me, Tyrion Warden, we can work together! β
"Sounds good, but I can't trust you just yet."
Kordana glanced back at Sarein, who was rapidly recovering from the dragon's blood, and the Blood Warden motioned for Ronin to stand still, and she whispered:
"I've got to get some news from our people first... By the way, the little brother of the Windranger family is with you, right? Hand over that bastard kid! All this is because of him, and I have to settle this account with him. β
"Don't blame Liras, Watcher, he's just a child, and he's been forced into this conspiracy."
Luo Ning coughed lightly, and said helplessly:
"And he wasn't with us, he just sent a letter to Stratholme to inform me and then disappeared... According to him, before he was imprisoned, General Sylvanas specifically told him to let him go to southern Xinjiang when he couldn't do anything... Let him go to his all-powerful brother-in-law to solve all this, damn it, I'm his brother-in-law too, and I've invited him to dinner in Stratholme and go hunting together, shouldn't I be trusted? β
"What's wrong with you, Lady Watcher? Is it sick? β
Luo Ning looked at the watchman Kodana who was trembling all over his body in front of him in surprise and the high-ranking death knight Tur who was covering his face and seemed to be hugging his head and crying, he was a little dazed and didn't know what was going on, until a few minutes later, Kodana forcibly suppressed the fear in her heart, she whispered:
"No... It's okay, something so big has happened, it's time to let Your Majesty know... Got it."
