Chapter 17: Parting and Arrival

"Huh, didn't you say you had a year off for you?"

"The trolls near Quel'Salas are a little unusual. The bad old men who were scared of death had an urgent order to transfer me back. ”

Not long after they met, Duke was still very grateful to Aurelia, and suddenly heard that this genuine gold thigh was leaving, Duke still felt a little lost.

"Well, then, I wish you a smooth journey. ”

Aurelia was stunned. The word "safe journey" is definitely the best wishes for a windranger. Duke unconsciously warmed her irritable heart.

"Well, you've inadvertently coaxed me again. So let's tell you a little thing. If you're in trouble, you go to him. "Anyway, Aurelia has lost a little thing.

When Duke got his hands on it, it was a small silver ornament with a name engraved on it in High Elf language.

Duke was bitter: "I don't know High Elf." ”

Even though I'm a Windranger, from a family of rangers who have roamed the forest for generations, I still have to say that High Elf magic is the most powerful magic!" The High Elf's pride was evident at this moment. Aurelia puffed up her chest proudly.

Well, you have big breasts, you have the final say.

"Yes, yes, yes. Duke didn't argue either, after all, the boss who played magic in Azeroth was still the High Elves.

"Hey, why do you look like you want to send me away. ”

"No, no, no, how is this possible!" Duke hurriedly shouted.

"Ahh ”

"Huh?"

"You are young, energetic, and fearless of power. Unlike me, I'm obviously a ranger general, but in front of those councilors, I'm afraid my status is not even as good as a magical construct without self-awareness. So when I saw you slap that noble young master twice, I was very happy. ”

Hey, you're still peeping!

"I would think if only I had the courage to slap those bastard congressmen a few times. It's a pity I can't...... I am the eldest daughter of the Windranger family, and I am not only a role model for my sisters, but also the face of the Windranger family, because my every move will be infinitely magnified. ”

Suddenly hearing Aurelia's bitter confession, Duke fell silent.

"So, the curious me you see is definitely not my usual me. After I went back this time, I was the same serious and uninhibited ranger general again. Of course, it's precisely because Quel'Thallas is nearly 10,000 miles away from the Stormwind Kingdom that we will probably never see each other again in our lives, so I'm telling you this. Seriously, I want to thank you. At least you've made me feel funny and happy for the past two days. ”

Duke suddenly smiled and asked tentatively, "What about ...... We're friends?"

Aurelia shook her head, "No, the High Elves wouldn't be interested in being friends with humans. It should be said that we all avoid being friends with humans. Because compared to the infinite life of the High Elves, the lifespan of humans is too short. The decades of human life are a nap for us. We will feel unbearable when we are just emotionally invested and suddenly we are parting with life and death so quickly. ”

Duke sighed in his heart: sure enough, the values of different races are very different.

But Duke smiled mysteriously: "But I have a hunch that I will see you again in 5 years." ”

"Five years? No way! Those bad old men will call me. I have been on the front line for no less than 50 years. Our front lines will not allow humans to come close. ”

"Then let's make a bet, if we meet again in five years, when the time comes, you swear to be my friend?"

"Hmph, bet, bet!" Aurelia didn't believe the stick, she clasped her hands to her chest, as if she were looking at a little guy who was daydreaming.

Well, for her, Duke is a little guy who is a lust obsessed little guy.

Aurelia was gone, and in her mind at the moment, Duke, a human boy, was just a passerby. Little did she know that she was being calculated by Duke.

If Duke's calculations are correct, then within five years, the Dark Gate event will erupt, and she, Aurelia, as a member of the Alliance, will once again come to the human world to join forces to defend against the invasion of the orcs......

The next morning, Duke hit the road again, and spent the next two days almost in a wagon.

Sitting in the carriage, his body jolting with it, Duke found himself beginning to adjust to the world of Azeroth. From the initial feeling of vomiting soon after getting in the car, to the current habit.

But what made Duke feel a lot more was what happened on the road: "Even as the most peaceful Alwyn Forest, it is not something that ordinary people can cross alone!"

The wagon convoy was attacked.

Old man Norton didn't take the three of them on the road alone. He was accompanied by his magic apprentice, Sasha, and a heavily armed escort of sixteen. Including the coachman and servants, there were more than 20 people, three carriages, and nearly 30 horses.

It's such a lineup that Duke looks extremely luxurious, and it's still being attacked.

The next night, he was attacked by hundreds of timberwolves, and was driven away by a few [Fire Wall Techniques] of Old Norton.

And on the third night it was the Gnoll. These wolf-headed monsters, which are only half human-height for adults, are far more ferocious than the ones Duke encounters in the game.

Not only do these cunning and ferocious predators sneak up at night, but they also come in groups, crawling in the grass with crossbow arrows in hand to release cold arrows, trying to disrupt the defensive camp of the convoy and then encircle it.

Duke, who was protected by six shielded guards, saw a servant not far from him being shot through the neck with a crude crossbow arrow.

Looking at the dying face, the mouth with blood bubbles still trying to open and close. Duke, who had thought he was beginning to adapt to the world of Azeroth, felt uncomfortable suffocation again.

Death - even if you know you can try many times, you will never get used to it!

The 1% humanity restored at North-County Abbey certainly delighted Duke. But I always felt that it was not an easy way. It's still peacetime, and once the war comes, then ...... Don't fall too fast!

By Duke's side, Danielle and Itana seemed normal. When Duke asked them, they were answered, "In this world full of monsters, dead people are commonplace." ”

Duke was a little speechless.

The only fortunate thing is that there is no danger, and finally arrived in Stormwind City on the evening of the third day.
