"Ahem... Ahem"

Anduin coughed hard, he wondered if he had been out of luck lately, or if there was some mysterious will at work, in short, he had been in bad luck lately. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But bad luck is always followed by good luck, for example, now, the little prince sits in a warm room wrapped in a sheet, and on the delicately shaped wooden table in front of him, there are two dishes, one meat and one vegetarian, and two bowls of fragrant rice, this special food is quite common in Kalimdor, and the druids have seeds, but they are rare in the Eastern Continent.

Anduin had some difficulty using special cutlery called "chopsticks", but thanks to his time traveling with Lili and Lao Chen, he barely learned this kind of cutlery that required extremely high finger skills to use, and the little prince once thought that this thing was used by the Pandaren assassins to practice their finger dexterity.

He put a piece of fried lamb meat into his mouth, chewed it twice, the delicious smell almost penetrated his taste buds, even better than the flower chicken made by Lao Chen, it is really unimaginable, these chubby panda people, in terms of food attainment, have reached such an amazing level.

The little prince had heard his mentor Dick say more than once, but in terms of food, the whole civilized world seemed to the panda people to be barbarians, and now it seemed that he had to admit that the mentor was right.

While Anduin was eating, a chubby panda man sitting across from him had been observing the "outsider" who had been rescued by the fishermen of Podong Village.

Zhou Zhuo has been a glorious traveling scholar for forty years, he was sent to the traveling scholar's school as a child to learn historical knowledge that is extremely obscure for ordinary panda people, and later used his own feet to walk all over Pandaria, he has been to the sacred Kunlai Mountain, hiking up the mountain to meet the Holy Spirit Snow Fury, he has also been to the Kasanlang jungle, in the Zhuhe Temple to study the lost history of the ancient demons, and even walked around the Great Wall for a week, and even went to the Praying Mantis Plateau and the Fear Wasteland, which are undoubtedly hellish for ordinary people, and finally returned to his hometown。

When Zhou Zhuo returned, he was even received by the elders of the Heavenly Zen Academy, which was a rare honor, and after that, Zhou Zhuo seemed to live a quiet retirement life, but he had actually been eager for adventure in his heart, but Pandalia was too small for a traveling scholar, Zhou Zhuo had stood at the top of the Emerald Forest countless times, watching the sea and listening to the edge of the forest, watching the sunset and sunrise, imagining what kind of world and scene was beyond the fog.

He once thought that he would be like his father and mother, born in the Emerald Forest and died in the Emerald Forest, but now, when Anduin and Lili appeared, Zhou Zhuo's heart, which had long been unmoved by everything, beat violently, and he realized that he was only one step away from his dream, as long as he gently pushed it away, he could enter another new world that might not be finished in his lifetime.

It was the dream of countless traveling scholars, but... Zhou Zhuo found that he was shamefully afraid, and it was only at this time that he re-examined everything around him, the emerald forest, the scenery that he thought he was tired of, turned out to be so beautiful.

Zhou Zhuo was thinking hard about whether he should or not... Should he have asked the kid about everything outside, but he didn't make up his mind.

So his attention finally shifted to Anduin, this is a child who is both heroic and handsome, even from the critical eyes of the panda people, Anduin is also a handsome guy, but there is some childlike fear and curiosity, he should be from a famous family, although Zhou Zhuo does not understand his etiquette, but there is no doubt that it can be seen from his dining posture that this child has received a very decent education since he was a child.

He was very hungry, his eyes reminded Zhou Zhuo of himself who was lost in the Praying Mantis Plateau, but he was very restrained from the temptation of hunger and food, and used chopsticks with some difficulty, little by little to put this stir-fried mutton in his mouth, with rice, he didn't seem to like to eat vegetables, maybe it was related to habits, but Zhou Zhuojue's was more likely because he didn't know the fresh bitter gourd in front of him.

"Haha, what the hell is a child. ”

Zhou Zhuo thought so in his heart, so from this child, he could deduce a part of the outside world: they don't use chopsticks, so panda people should be rare, because panda people use chopsticks, and their craftsmanship level should be not bad, which can be seen from the ring on Anduin's finger and the long sword he has been carrying behind his back.

They are martial arts, use a unique system of magic, and have the ability to travel to and from the deep sea, where Pandaria is sealed away, as every pandaman knows.

And they should have spoken a completely different language than the panda people, which can be seen from the dream words that Anduin said when he was not awake, and their society should still be in the monarchy, and the child in front of him should be a member of the ruling class.

Finally, there is their diet, judging from the plate of fried mutton that has been eaten cleanly, Zhou Zhuo can be sure that their enjoyment, at least in terms of diet, is too far worse than that of the panda people.

In general, with the insight of the traveling scholar, Zhou Zhuo easily deduced the appearance of the civilized world, which is full of vitality and hundreds of ethnic groups, but also has the scourge of war.

A very suitable place for a study tour, Zhou Zhuo's heart beat violently again.

He thought about it for a while, stretched out his hand to give Anduin a cup of tea, this time after eating enough, Anduin did not refuse again, but accepted this cup of tea very decently with the bearing of a prince, but just as he smelled the tea, Zhou Zhuo spoke.

Very pure... Salas.

"Where are you from, child?"

Anduin was shocked, but quickly realized that as a member of the royal family, Salas was not a compulsory subject, but Andu was very glad that he had an old-fashioned history teacher, Dr. Harrison, from whom he learned the complete grammar of Salas, although it was a little difficult, but it was no problem to listen and speak.

So he thought about it for a while, and decided to tell the truth, these panda people are definitely Lao Chen's kindred, so it is conceivable that Anduin still thought that he had come to Lost Island, Lili's hometown.

"Dear Pandaren Elder, I am from the Storm Kingdom of the Eastern Continent, and I am one of them... Well, a nobleman, my ship was caught in a storm on the way back to the Eastern Continent from Theramore, and I came to Lost Island unexpectedly, thank you for your rescue and hospitality, and besides, a few of my friends, are you okay? Lili is a local, you should know her!"

Anduin's answer made Zhou Zhuoleng pause, and he asked rhetorically,

"They're fine, they're still resting, it might take half a day to wake up, but Lost Island? No, we're not Lost Island, kid, that panda man child named Lili, and no one in Podong Village knows her. ”

"Not Lost Island?"

Anduin was also surprised, and he called, "But Lili told me that only Trace Island has panda people... Wait, you guys, this is Pandaria, isn't it? The panda people used to be home, right?"

This time it was Zhou Zhuo's turn to be surprised, this person stood up from the chair as soon as he was middle-aged Panda Man,

"Unbelievable! Do you know that Pandaria, there are still legends circulating on this continent?"

Anduin was a good boy, and he said,

"There is no such thing in the human world or the alien world, it is said that only the panda people of Trace Island have this legend, but I heard Swain say that some of the old-timers in the night elves have also said things about the panda people, but there is very little historical information handed down. ”

Zhou Zhuo walked a few steps in place, his special traveling scholar robe made Anduin very curious, it was completely like a book draped on his body, full of all kinds of elegant symbols, Lao Chen also wrote well, Lili's words were much worse, Lao Chen often said that she wrote like a dog crawling.

Thinking of Lao Chen, Anduin couldn't help but think of his father and mentor, he had been missing at least for the third day, how worried should they be?

Thinking about Anduin's mood became low, Zhou Zhuo keenly felt this, he clapped his hands, and said kindly,

"Come, little one, and show you something. ”

Anduin didn't want to move, but the traveling scholar in front of him was too enthusiastic, and he followed him out of the room.

To tell the truth, the little prince had never observed the place where he lived, but when Zhou Zhuo really pushed the door open, the fresh breath of life came to his face, the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, the elegant crane was playing with a huge spotted tiger, and when Anduin came out, a snake-like red creature flew in front of Anduin from above, startling him.

It was a cute creature only the length of an arm, it had four eagle-like claws, the body of a snake, the scales of a fish, the head of a horse, the horns of an elk, the mane of a lion, the ears of a cow and the big eyes of a rabbit, these completely different features came together to make this little creature beautiful and noble, it flew through the air as if it were swimming in water, and circled Anduin as fast as it could, and its two eyes looked curiously at the new guest.

Anduin thought it was so amusementous that it was like reaching out and nodding his head, but this action made the creature angry, and it opened its little mouth and roared at Anduin, and at this moment, a loud sound seemed to explode in Anduin's mind, and the little prince shook his head and sat on the ground, and his eyes went blank.

"Alright, Mishi, don't scare him! That's a good boy, just like you. ”

Zhou Zhuo walked over with a small basin in his hand, You Xue was already a little used to this situation, he stretched out his finger and gently rubbed it a few times on the back of Anduin's neck, the little prince quickly recovered, he looked at Zhou Zhuo, and pointed to the rice master,

"What's that? ”

"Oh, that's Mishi, my partner, come, Mishi. ”

Zhou Zhuo stretched out his hand, and the little red thing flew over, tangled in Zhou Zhuo's injury, and then lay on his palm and began to rest.

The traveling scholar patted the rice master on the head dotingly, and then said to the little prince,

"Mi Shi is a juvenile Xianglong, soon to reach maturity, each scholar master has his own partner, some are white tigers, some are Zhu He, and Xuanniu, when I met the Qinglong Lord, I met Mi Shi, it is willing to be my partner, these decades are it with me to protect me, and after I die, it will go back to Xianglong Island, where is its real home, I am just a scenery in its long life. ”

Anduin looked at the peaceful Zhou Zhuo, a little distracted, he couldn't help but ask,

"Scholar You, why do you look at death so calmly? Isn't that a terrible thing?"

Zhou Zhuo looked at Anduin, shook his head with a smile, and reached out to give him his small basin,

"Come, help me feed my cranes, this is a rare opportunity, these proud creatures never pay attention to people with impure hearts, in our legends, after death, the soul will ride the crane to a happier world, of course, there are some wise people who say that life and death are just reincarnation, and everything we do in this life is not important to this world. ”

Anduin picked up the bird food and walked to the edge of the garden, he followed Zhou Zhuo's example and opened his palm, those cranes originally ignored him, but after Zhou Zhuo withdrew his hand, they finally approached Anduin and began to peck at the bird food in Anduin's hand with a long beak, the little prince originally thought it would hurt, but in the end he found that it was very fun, the cranes were very smart, and they knew what kind of strength to use to eat, and they would not hurt this stranger.

But the little prince still has a lot of questions, especially for what Zhou Zhuo just said, he looked at Zhou Zhuo with an indifferent face,

"Isn't our life meaningless?"

In the low-hanging sun, Zhou Zhuo was bathed in the light of the setting sun, he breathed a sigh of relief, put his hand on the top of Anduin's head, and looked at him,

"No, child, it is precisely because everything we do is not important to the world that we have to find a way to make ourselves important, after all, life is only once, you have to live more excitingly, in order to be worthy of your life. ”

After speaking, the scholar took out a teapot and two teacups from the table next to him like magic, with a smile of curiosity on his face.

"So come, son, tell me about your world. ”
