14. Wake up
The colonel eventually accepted the kindness from Huron.
Part of it was because the Governor's sincere words touched the heart of the veteran, who was not a saint who had no desires, and who would have thought more about his children and his family.
Another part of the reason is that the consumption level in Stormwind is really high, and their monthly salary is barely enough for the best hotel in Stormwind City, with a night's rent inlaid with gold roses.
However, the city's prosperity was still an eye-opener for the two leading soldiers, Kelman and Basilon, who followed the well-known Huron and Grace to meet His Majesty Morton Ureon, the current Emperor of the Stormwind Kingdom, in a private capacity, and then to an auction at the Royal Auction House.
The Colonel was surprised to find that there were indeed civilizations from outside the Federation, 12 incredibly strong, half-mechanical, half-flesh warriors who were said to be able to defeat the most powerful demons with one enemy to a hundred.
But they appeared as slaves, and there were also some women of wandering civilizations, who did not have their own great civilization, and were trophies of the Union army's conquest, and the federal law was very lenient in this regard, but it would not casually grant some racial equality status that was not even a complete social system.
At Huron's suggestion, Kelman bought 20 beast-eared maids from the distant Voodoo Star District as servants in the future mansion, just by listening to the name, he knew that these "orcs" were from the star sector ruled by the Zandalar Troll Empire, and the major, who was a single dog, used all the military salary he had saved to buy 2 Sun Elf girls from the Green Forest Star District as servants to serve him.
But the major doesn't have to worry that his amorous behavior will make him destitute, Colonel Kelman has hired him to be his lieutenant, although he is not a real blood noble, but he has half a foot in this circle, as long as the major is not bad, in 20 years, he will definitely have a chance to become one of the real blood nobles.
And it was only on the later journey that they learned that the elves of the Sunlight Elves, who have excellent appearances but no difference in physical fitness from ordinary people, are actually considered "guilty".
They are a race brought back from an expedition by the Moonlight Expeditionary Legion of the Cadore Empire, and these unfortunate fellows have deceived Tina Fury, the Governor of the Green Forest Sector, on the information of their planet, resulting in heavy losses for the Moonlight Expeditionary Legion.
The Governor was the leader of the Kadore Empire, the only daughter of the Lady Tyrande of the Moon, and so after the war, the planet was destroyed, and these weak elves, who had no firm faith and could not recognize the situation, were sold as slaves by the angry General Wind.
No one will anger the Governor because of this kind of thing, after all, the Federation is no longer a force that once needed to accept all the good and bad civilizations to become stronger, and now there are more than 400 vassal civilizations that want to really join the Federation, such as the Sunlight Elves, such a bad civilization, the administrative censors will not look at it.
At nightfall, Huron invited Kelman on a pilgrimage to the Northshire Abbey, a sincere believer of the Light, as did the Colonel, so they rode in an official carriage heading towards Northshire, where Huron gave the Colonel an itinerary for the next two days.
"We're going to Theramore tomorrow, which is the seat of the federal parliament, and you need to go to a hearing. ”
Huron turned the light blue crystal gemstone rosary in his hand, this is a treasure carefully carved by the priests of the Holy Light of Delaney, the conduction of energy is almost 100%, so it is also a powerful spell casting amplification item, it is said that in the black market in some star districts, this thing can be exchanged for a whole army!
The Colonel sat across from the Governor, and in his hand he was playing with a sheathed sword, a weapon gifted today by His Majesty Morton of Stormwind.
Hearing Huron's words, the colonel put down the saber in his hand and asked seriously,
"Do I need to prepare anything?"
Huron shook his head,
"For others, there may be a lot of things to prepare, but for you, it's just a formality, Lord Dick's awakening ceremony will be carried out in 2 days, and the federal censor has no grass in his head, if it goes well, you will be able to get your identity nameplate within half a month, and you are probably the most successful bloodline nobleman in the last 1000 years. ”
Kelman nodded knowingly, but soon, he noticed another problem.
"Mr. Huron, shouldn't you call that lord 'Old Grandfather'?"
Hearing this question, the rosary in Huron's hand stopped, and he breathed a sigh of relief, with a wry smile on his face,
"You probably can't understand this feeling, Kelman, when your grandfather and grandmother were the big names of those times, you have a terrible pressure to deal with them, Grace often complained to me, and when he followed his father to meet Master Garrosh, he also felt that his grandfather spoke to him in a tone similar to that of a stranger. ”
"Time, this is the most deceitful thing for mortals, we are mortals, Mr. Colonel, I have lived with my old grandmother since I was a child, until I became an adult, you have seen heroic spirits, they are not old, but under the young appearance of my old grandmother, there is a soul that is tired to the extreme, in the exhaustion of this time, their feelings for mortals will become weaker and weaker, there is this kind of saying, that it is a kind of bias towards "divinity" In the washes of time, they will eventually be called "gods" who are not affected by emotions. ”
Huron silently put away the rosary in his hand and said to the colonel, who was fascinated by the hearing,
"The theory itself is, but it describes it correctly, the feelings of the Heroic Spirits are very indifferent, my old grandmother is one of the more normal of them, but I have never seen her smile at me, for 17 years, I have never seen even once, the Minethil family is very lucky, my grandfather and my father are very mediocre and will not enter Valhalla, but you know, sometimes, mediocrity is also a kind of happiness. ”
The Governor opened the door of the carriage, and the two of them were greeted by a town wrapped in holy light, and just feeling the warm atmosphere was enough to make these two holy light believers feel a lot of emotion.
But the small talk between the two continued,
"Can you imagine the pressure that His Majesty Moulton was under every time he entered Valhalla, which we just met today?"
Huron waved his hand a little frightened, "The Urion family is a family with many talents, Varian Ureon, Valera Ureon, Anduin Ureon, Caesar Ureon, three Majesties and a queen with a foreign surname have all entered Valhalla, and His Majesty Morton is very likely to be the first emperor of the Ureon family to be unable to enter Valhalla in the interstellar era 2000, and his pressure has been unimaginable." ”
"When your grandfather and your father are all famous in history, your goal from birth has actually been portrayed. ”
Before entering the church, Huron tilted his head and said to Kelman, "It's a terrible mission to do everything to make yourself worthy of your last name... By the way, get ready, Colonel, your first mission may be difficult, and I don't want the next time I see you at your funeral. ”
"Well, if it's a demon, they can't take the life of a veteran!"
Kelman grinned, "I have this confidence!"
But Huron looked at him with meaningful eyes,
"Demons, no, no, no, in your opinion, demons are our opponents, but in fact, on a higher level, we stand with demons, Colonel, this world is far more mysterious than you think, do you know why the bloodline nobles have suffered so many casualties, but they have rarely seen them on the frontal battlefield against demons?"
"Because our battlefield is not there! In addition to the Federation's 137 major star sectors, there are 7 hidden star regions, and that is our battlefield! The blood of Azeroth is covered with almost every inch of land there... Kelman, demons will only destroy your home, ruin your life, but they will destroy your soul, Chaos... Chaos is the ultimate enemy of order!"
Not to mention the shock of the Colonel stepping into the edge of secrecy with one foot, on the other side, at the pinnacle of the world of Azeroth, the top of the mountains that are forever wrapped in the endless storm, in the city of the steel Titans, a sacred ritual has been arranged, and the final moment has arrived.
Freya, the Guardian of Life, alone channeled the energy of the Life Conservatory into the Hall of Stars of Ulduar, which had not been opened in the 2,000 years since the city's master left, and for the first time today, after she and Orlia, the scribe of Ulduar, had worked together to open the doors of the Hall of the Stars, the landscape that had not changed for thousands of years.
But at the moment it seemed cold and cold, as if it was rejecting anyone who entered it, but Freya and Orria quickly set up the Hall of the Star Dome as a meeting place where a ceremony would take place in 2 days, and there could be no mistake at all.
After the battle of Argus, Freya and Orria lost their companions, and even Mimiron imprisoned himself in the laboratory, trying to save his brother who had died in battle, but no one could save them, and the Guardians were distraught by the bombardment of the main guns of the fleet.
The ancient city fell silent as a result, and Odin later transported Valagar back to Ulduar, where it was rejuvenated by the noise of the newborn Heroic Spirits.
Freya looked at the starlit gate in front of her, and a glimmer of hope flashed in her gentle gaze, for the lord of the city was about to return, the backbone of the guardians.
Clerk Orlea, who has always been sullen, even hummed a song, and it could be seen that she was in a good mood.
"Whew"
A large black shadow slashed past the two Guardians, circled twice across the icy sky of Ulduar, and finally landed on the ground, stretching its terrifying, purple energy storm wings, clasping the ground with its four fully crystallized claws, its spur-covered tail landing on the ground, allowing the two screaming figures to slide down from its beautiful and terrifying body.
Alduin, the Twilight Dragon who was born in Ulduar and grew up in Ulduar has become a full adult, and it has beautiful dragon horns on its head, perhaps because it has been devouring the energy of the Void for many years, and the hideous dragon horns are like crystallized treasures, emitting purple light.
Alduin has a portion of the Void Dragon's blood in his body, so when fully adult, it has the ability to soar through the Void, and even cross it, and has carried its master through countless worlds in the past 2,000 years, both to find Dick's traces and to relax.
The angry Lord Avena will become a big unstable bomb that everyone fears, and during the time of Dick's disappearance, she even ignores Elune's guidance, sometimes alone, sometimes with Argus, the star spirit who likes to play as much as she does, sitting on Alduin, and traveling through the worlds.
Anvina never believed in the nonsense that Dick was dead, she and Dick had already become one, and if Dick died, she should also be gone, she just felt that the idiot must be hiding somewhere in the stars, waiting for her to find him, and that was the only thing that the Light had been busy with for the past 2,000 years.
"Haha! I'll just say, that idiot will definitely come back!"
Anvina, who had just returned from a certain world, yelled at Argus beside her, "Look, he's back now! And he's going to wake up in two days! I'm going to beat him up!"
In the past 2000 years, Agus has supplemented her "malnourished" body with the help of Azeroth's Titan energy, and has made a home on the planet Shakan, turning that world into a star spirit world, and now she looks about the same size as Avena, becoming a young girl with black hair and black eyes.
Hearing the light's bragging, she grinned, brandished the World Scepter in her hand, and said disdainfully, "You can't even beat me, and you still want to beat Dick? Beware of Liadline and Gianna spanking you, as well as Sylvanas and Kalia, they are so fierce when they hear you scold Dick!"
"Cut, as long as Dick wakes up, I'm not afraid of them! I tell you, they sleep with Dick... Ahhh
When Avena squeezed her eyebrows and instilled bad information for Argus, her ear was grabbed by a hand, and then lifted, and the puffed Sylvanas stood behind her, grabbing the light and lifting it into the air, Avena screamed loudly with her teeth and claws,
"Let go of me! Shiva, you violent woman, let go of me, or I'll tell you all the things you and Dick did on Stormkeep!
"What did you say?"
A dangerous smile appeared on Sylvanas's face, which didn't seem to be affected by time at all, and Anvena trembled when she saw it, and her light form flashed, and she disappeared into mid-air, and then appeared on Alduin's head, grimacing at Sylvanas, and then slapped Alduin's head, and the dragon roared and flew up, and quickly disappeared into space.
"You wait for me, you wait for me! I'm going to play in the scroll world too! You wait for me!"
Agus flicked the World Scepter, and his star-filled body quickly disappeared into Ulduar's space.
Shiva chased away the peasant, then turned to look at the Hall of the Star Dome, where a round black crystal was placed, and the moment she saw it, Sylvanas' eyes soured, and then she quickly turned her head.
"You're finally coming back... Great, this world without you is really... It's boring. ”10
