Chapter 17 Parting and Arriving

"Huh? Didn't you say you have a year's vacation?"

"The trolls near Quel'Thalas have changed a bit. The group of old men who are afraid of death sent me back with an urgent order."

Not long after they met, Duke was still very grateful to Aurelia. When he suddenly heard that this genuine golden thigh was leaving, Duke still felt a little bit disappointed.

"Well then, I wish you the best of luck."

Alleria was taken aback. The word "bon voyage" is definitely the best wish for a windrunner. Unknowingly, Duke warmed her restless heart.

"Okay, you accidentally coaxed me again. Then let me tell you a little thing. If you are in trouble, you go to him." After finishing speaking, Alleria threw a little thing.

Duke took a look and saw that it was a small silver ornament with a name engraved in high elf language.

Duke pressed bitterly: "I don't know High Elvish."

"Then learn! Although I am a windrunner, I come from a family of rangers who have roamed the forest for generations, but I still have to say-high elf magic is the most powerful magic!" The pride of the high elves, at this moment Show everything. Alleria puffed out her chest proudly.

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

"Yes, yes." Duke did not refute, after all, the boss who played magic in Azeroth was still a high elf.

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

"No, no, how is this possible!" Duke quickly yelled.

"Alas—" Alleria suddenly jumped onto the tree, resting her right elbow on her left hand and gently resting her chin on her right hand, she just sat on a branch and looked at Duke, then suddenly changed the subject: "Actually I envy you."

"Um?"

"You are young, energetic, and not afraid of power. Unlike me, you are obviously a knight-errant general, but in front of those councilors, my status may not even be as good as a magic construct without self-awareness. So after seeing you When I slapped that noble young master twice, I felt very happy."

Hello! Sure enough, you are still peeping!

"I would think, if only I had the courage to slap those bastard congressmen a few times. Unfortunately, I can't... I am the eldest daughter of the Windrunner family. I not only want to be an example for my younger sisters, but also represent the Windrunner family. face, because my every move will be infinitely magnified."

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

"So, the curious me you saw is definitely not the usual me. After going back this time, I am the serious and unconstrained Ranger General again. Of course, it is precisely because of Quel'Thalas and the Stormwind Kingdom. We are nearly ten thousand miles apart, and we will probably never have a chance to see each other again in this life, so I will tell you this. Seriously, I want to thank you. At least these two days, you have made me feel interesting and very happy."

Duke suddenly smiled, and asked tentatively, "Then...are we friends?"

Alleria shook her head: "No, high elves are not 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 high elves, human life is too short. Humans The life expectancy of several decades is just a nap for us. We just fell in love, and suddenly we are about to die so quickly, we will feel unbearable."

Duke sighed in his heart: Sure enough, different races have very different values.

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

"Five years? Impossible! Those bad old men will call me. I have been on duty at the front line for at least 50 years. Our front line will not allow humans to approach."

"Then let's make a bet. If we meet again in five years, you swear you will be my friend by then?" For some reason, Duke secretly added the word "female" before "friend".

"Hmph! Just bet!" Alleria didn't believe in magic sticks. She put her hands on her chest, as if she was looking at a little guy who was daydreaming.

Well, to her, Duke is a lustful little guy.

Alleria was gone, and in her heart at this moment, Duke, a human boy, was just a passerby. She didn't expect at all that she was tricked by Duke.

If Duke's calculation is correct, then the [Dark Portal] incident will break out within five years, and she, Aurelia, as a member of the alliance, will come to the human world again to jointly resist the invasion of the orcs...

The next morning Duke was on the road again, and he spent most of the next two days in the carriage.

Sitting on the carriage, with his body constantly bumping along with the carriage, Duke found that he had begun to adapt to the world of Azeroth. From the first feeling of vomiting shortly after getting in the car, it is now a habit.

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

The carriage convoy was attacked.

Old man Norton did not take the three apprentices alone on the road. He was accompanied by his magic apprentice Sasha, and a sixteen-man escort in full armor. Together with the coachman and servants, there are a total of more than 20 people, and three carriages with nearly 30 horses.

Even such a lineup that Duke looks extremely luxurious is still being attacked.

The next night, he was attacked by hundreds of Timberwolves, and was driven away by old Norton's [Fire Wall Technique].

And the third night was Gnoll. These werewolf-headed monsters, who were only half the height of an adult human, were much more ferocious than the ones Duke encountered in the game.

These cunning and ferocious predators will not only sneak attacks at night, but also come in groups, prostrate in the grass with crossbows and shoot cold arrows, trying to disrupt the defensive camp of the convoy and then encircle and suppress them.

Duke, who was protected by six guards with shields, saw with his own eyes that a servant not far from him was shot through the neck by a crude crossbow arrow.

Looking at the dying face, the mouth spitting out blood bubbles was still opening and closing hard. Duke, who thought he was beginning to adapt to the world of Azeroth, once again felt an uncomfortable suffocation.

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

The restoration of the 1% of humanity at Northshire Abbey certainly pleased Duke. But I always feel that this is not an easy way. Now is still a time of peace, once war comes, then... don't lose your morals too quickly!

Beside Duke, Daniel and Itana seemed normal. When Duke asked them, the answer he got was: "In this world full of monsters, dead people are very common."

Duke was a little speechless.

The only fortunate thing is that they finally arrived at Stormwind City on the evening of the third day without any risk.
