Yes! ”

A miserable wail rang out from the dwellings of Astrana, the largest elven city in the Grey Valley, the screams of a night elf woman that sounded like they were in danger.

But that's not the case.

A robed Night Elf male circled anxiously outside his door, looking worriedly at the closed door of his room, where his wife and the Luna priests had arrived to deliver the baby.

Giving birth to a child is not uncommon in the civilization of Cadore for more than 10,000 years, but it is strange to say that after the World Tree was burned by the hateful undead half a month ago, Cadore's life has changed drastically, and the other changes have not shown their power for the time being, but the most important one of them has made the entire Night Elf society uneasy in the last two weeks.

The frequency of night elf female pregnancy and childbirth has become more frequent, in just two weeks, there are nearly a thousand female night elf pregnant in the entire Astrana, which is a phenomenon that does not exist in the previous Kadore society, the night elf race that was immortal in the past, may take several years before a newborn is born, and adult elves are not very enthusiastic about getting married and having children.

And the pregnancy rate has increased greatly on the one hand, on the other hand, the life of those expectant Night Elf mothers-to-be has also become worse, and I don't know if it is because the blessing blessed by the World Tree on the Night Elves has failed, in short, the childbirth that used to seem very sacred has become "bloody" in these two weeks.

"Ahh

The Night Elf mother who was tossing and turning on the bed let out another scream, her beautiful face had become distorted by pain, and the Luna priest on the side nervously wiped her face with water, while beside the bed, several other Luna priests were a little scrambling, not knowing how to help the mother.

Because the births in front of them are completely different from the ones they have seen in their previous lives... It can be said that it is beyond their understanding.

"What are you doing in a daze?"

Eventually, a human Sister of the Light, who was staying in Astrana and trying to preach to the elves, rushed to help, rushed into the room, and saw the embarrassing scene of the Luna priests who were in a hurry, and the nun of the Church of the Light immediately became angry.

In the culture of the human empire, the Holy Light Church is the most knowledgeable group of people, and the nuns in it occasionally play the role of midwives, and this old woman with sincere faith has helped at least 30 children to be born in her short life in the eyes of the elves, and her experience is so high that she doesn't know where to go.

"You! Chick, hold her hand and don't let her scratch herself! ”

"You, girl with big pigtails, come over and help, wait, go wash your hands first!"

"And you, go and prepare some hot water!"

The human nun used her rich experience to hold the scene, after a busy time, when the elf mother was about to faint, a pair of beautiful twins finally gave birth smoothly, the old nun wrapped the two elf babies in a clean blanket, and handed them over to the helpless father, in the night elf couldn't stop thanking her, the old nun looked at the young and beautiful moon priests around her with some confusion.

As a fellow believer, the old lady of the Holy Light Church didn't care about the beautiful face of the elf, she cared more about the beauty of the heart, but now, she had a strange doubt.

"I have heard the archbishop say that each of you has lived for thousands of years..."

The old lady of the human nun asked curiously:

"Then you must have been through a lot of baby births, why... Why are you acting so flustered, as if it is the first time you have seen this kind of scene, look at the poor little girl, you almost fainted when you saw the blood, this shouldn't be! ”

Faced with the questioning of the human Sister of the Holy Light, the high-ranking priest of the Astrana Moon Temple whispered with some embarrassment:

"Sister of the Light, you don't know much about our Night Elf traditions, and in the years before, Night Elf mothers didn't need our help in giving birth."

"Yes, old woman."

A young priest answered, dancing and pointing to a moon well on the edge of the city:

"We will put the mothers who are about to give birth into the water of the well drawn from the well of the moon, and with the blessing of the moon god, she will not suffer or bleed, and the moon god will help the baby to be born smoothly..."

"Oh, that sounds like a convenience."

The old human mother turned the rosary and commented:

"No wonder you've never seen such a natural birth... But why don't you use this method now? ”

This question made all the Luna priests around her grief, and after a moment, the older senior priest whispered:

"Because the World Tree is gone... The blessing of the moon god is gone. The moon well still has a healing effect, but there is no way to help mothers give birth to babies smoothly, and we have been busy for the last few days, but unfortunately, we don't have as much experience as you, and frankly, we haven't even experienced the experience of giving birth to babies naturally. ”

"It's strange, and it feels... Very scared. ”

The young Luna priest couldn't help but shudder, and she whispered to the old human mother:

"That mother looked so miserable, she was bleeding a lot... I'm scared, I'm not going to get married. ”

"Hahaha, silly boy."

The old human mother recited a few prayers of the Holy Light, and she smiled kindly, and stroked the hair of the young priest of the moon god, and she whispered:

"In my faith, human beings are born from suffering, bearing the sins that make their mothers miserable, and they have to wash their lives with good deeds, but flesh and blood are not defiled, they are sacred rituals, representing the inheritance of life and blood... So, I'm going to teach you how to help mothers who are in pain, and in your current situation, you really need to learn this. ”

After speaking, amid the thanks of the other priests, a shrewdness flashed in the old woman's eyes, and she whispered:

"But you also have to give me the right to preach here, at least a small church, and I still live in your inn, which is a bit unorthodox for a believer."

"Astrana has had 213 babies in the last two weeks? And a third of them are twins? ”

In the Temple of the Moon on Mount Hyjal, Tyrande looked at a report in her hand in amazement, and she looked at Ryan, who was still a little pale in disbelief. General Wolfwalker, she asked:

"Is this true? Are you sure you're not mistaken? Checkmate! More than 200 newborns, which is the number of new people we have only had in the last 10 years! ”

"I know it's unbelievable, High Priest."

General Wolfwalker shrugged his shoulders a little helplessly:

"But it's true, you haven't seen the next demographic table yet... Pregnant mothers have reached a peak that Cadore has never had in 10,000 years in the past half a month, and it is foreseeable that at the beginning of spring next year, Astrana, and even the entire Cadore civilization, will usher in an unprecedented wave of baby booms, and it is initially estimated that Astrana, the number of babies born next year will reach a staggering 2000-3000! ”

"This..."

Tyrande felt that her mind was a little confused, and even she was well-informed, but she was a little overwhelmed by the sudden situation in front of her.

Since Queen Aishara created the Elven Empire, the elves are not a race that reproduces rapidly, their physical conditions are too superior, so the difficulty of reproduction has become a standard for the elves, and even the high elves, which are very different from the night elves, have a pitiful fertility rate compared to humans.

And this unprecedented, rapid arrival of the baby boom is undoubtedly abnormal.

"These newborns... Are they healthy? ”

Tyrande suspected that this might be the conspiracy of another Elder God, and he looked at General Wolfwalker, who replied solemnly:

"The Luna priests of Astrana have examined the newborn's body, and it is very healthy, even a little too healthy..."

"Bang"

Just as Tyrande and Wolfwalker were speechless, the door of the Temple of the Moon God was suddenly pushed open, and one of the Luna guards walked over briskly and said to Tyrande:

"The High Priest... General Garrod, who has been missing for thousands of years, is back! ”

"What?"

The news made Tyrande and Wolfwalker's eyes widen at the same time. Song of Shadows, this is Warden Mavi. Song of Shadows' younger brother and commander of the frontal battlefields of the War of the Ancients, who had commanded dragons, demigods, and night elves, as well as the Lords of Nature and the Burning Legion, would have had the outcome of the War of the Ancients very different without Garrod's command.

And at the end of the War of the Ancients, Garrod's reputation among the Night Elves was higher than that of Tyrande and Malfurion, if Garrod wanted to be the king of the elves at that time, it is estimated that he would not get too much opposition, but unfortunately, Garrod was not a person who coveted power, especially after being almost killed by Illidan, Garrod soon took his wife into seclusion.

Why did he return to the Kadore civilization at this juncture?

Tyrande and Wolfwalker looked at each other, and finally Wolfwalker asked aloud:

"Guards! Did you ask the reason for General Garrod's sudden return? ”

"Asked... Belch. ”

The guard's expression was somewhat strange, and under the questioning of the eyes of the two commanders, she said in a stammering manner:

"General Garrod's wife was about to give birth, but she was seriously ill, and he didn't know who to turn to for help, so he had to return to Mount Hyjal, as he said himself..."

——————————————————————————-

By the time Tyrande returned to the Temple of the Moon, it was already a moonlit night.

She personally greeted Garrod, who had returned to the society of Cadore, at the pass of Mount Hyjal. The Song of Shadows, along with his wife Sarah Hill, a gentle and generous female elf, and the blood of the upper elves, probably because of the sudden disappearance of the World Tree, which made Sarah Hill's already poor physical condition worse, and she was replaced with a very serious illness.

To make matters worse, this strange wave of "baby boomers" also affected Sarah Hill, and judging by the elf's big belly, this is definitely a twin, maybe even a triplet.

Tyrande calmed the somewhat agitated Garrod, but she did not tell Garrod a tragic fact, that is, all of Sarah Hill's life force has been used to feed the newborn in her womb, and this is the honorable mother is willing to do so, that is, once the child is born, it is likely to be the day when the terminally ill Sarah Hill will die.

Even as the Archpriest of the Luna, Tyrande was unable to heal the injury, and with the loss of the World Tree, Sarah Hill's last hope of survival was gone.

And there was an even more terrible fact that Tyrande had concealed.

Garrod's only relative, his sister Mavi. Song of Shadows, has been confirmed... Having died on the battlefield of the Black Sea, and most likely, having his body and soul taken away by those damn Darkblade undead, Tyrande still felt that it was better to hide the news in Garrod's current state.

Tyrande pushed open the window of the Moon Temple, this newly built building was not as majestic as the original Moon Temple, and even shabby, but after communicating with Elune personally, Tyrande had already understood the reason for the birth of the Night Elves and their mission, although Elune did not tell her explicitly, but Tyrande was a smart woman, she could guess...

The Elder God, hidden in the darkness of the world, is Elune's greatest enemy and the one the Night Elves must defeat!

"Whew"

A cold wind blew abruptly through Tyrande's room, and the Night Warrior jerked back, a silver double-headed scythe in her hand, and she looked vigilantly into the shadows behind her in a standard warrior stance, only to see someone she knew best.

Malfurion... Her dead husband, her beloved.

"Bang"

Tyrande's scythe fell to the ground, and the poor woman took a step forward with a sad face, reaching out to touch Malfurion's cheek, but the latter shook his head and took a step back, keeping herself in the cold darkness.

"My Tyrande... I'm not the Malfurion you remember, and I'm here tonight to tell you something you need to know. ”

"But I want to hear you say more, I want to hear you say in person, you won't leave me!"

Tyrande, who was as tough as steel in front of outsiders, at this time, like a vexatious girl, took a sharp step and hugged Malfurion in front of her, who wanted to push Tyrande away, but in the end, he sighed, stroked his wife's hair as before, and whispered in an emotionless voice:

"Tyrion has taken the Night Elf's legacy... But Elune himself descended on the Dead and forced the Lord of the Dead to return all the elven souls he had plundered to you as newborns... This process may continue for several years, and after this baby boom is over, the Night Elves will have the same fertility rate as the High Elves, and the Cadore civilization will not collapse due to the loss of the World Tree..."

"But the rules of the Dead Realm have begun to change the present world, my Tyrande, elves, humans, orcs, all civilizations will eventually be included in the cycle of life and death established by Tyrion, but don't worry, Elune is still sheltering Kadore, and under the majesty of the moon god, the night elves will get a new form of reproduction that will no longer be restrained..."

"This is a disaster, but it is also a new life, the shackles that bind Cadore have been completely broken, and despite the heavy price we have paid, you are finally free, and you are brave enough to continue walking, Tyrande, together with Illidan and Garrod, continue to walk with your people, and finally become a link that cannot be ignored in this changing world..."

"I don't want that! I don't want to hear that! ”

Tyrande burst into tears and screamed:

"All I want is you! All I want is you! Malfurion, don't leave me! ”

"Ugh..."

Malfurion stretched out his cold fingers and lifted Tyrande's cheeks, which were full of sorrow and tears, and he leaned down and kissed Tyrande lightly on the forehead, and said:

"I've been with you for 10,000 years, my Tyrande, and that's the best 10,000 years of my life..."

"But, that's in the past, forget me... I must also be forgotten. ”

"Let's start a new life... I'll be in hell and pray for you. ”

"Goodbye... My dear..."
