6. Garrod's doubts
The three girls rode on one horse, Dick and Garrod rode on the other, and if it weren't for the fact that the war horse domesticated by the Silver Hand with the secret method was tall enough, just three people in weight, it would have been enough to crush it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Half an hour later, the group returned to the Ashen Valley defensive line, which had been greatly strengthened and aesthetically pleasing under the command of Erigor, and the mages of Dalaran and Quel'Salas had built rows of rudimentary barracks with magic and wood, but given the year-round weather in Ashen Vale, such barracks were more than sufficient.
Garrod watched his wife being sent into the barracks of the female priests, and his heart, which had been raised, was finally a little calmer, and the top commander of 10,000 years ago was so concerned that he didn't even notice that Dick had been secretly observing him.
In the history known to Dick, Garrod was the sheriff of the upper-elven city of Sulama, and her sister Mavi, the priestess of the moon god, was a colleague of Tyrande.
As Queen Azhara's obsession with magic deepened, the elven nobles of the upper echelons began to extract the infinite power of the Well of Eternity, only to attract the prying eyes of the demon legions.
Refusing to admit her mistakes, the oppressed Night Elves and the druids who believed in the spirits of nature, led by the priestess Tyrande and the Grand Druid Malfurion-Fury, no longer obeyed the rule of the High Elves and rose up.
This originally had nothing to do with Garrod, but he accidentally saved the red dragon Crassus... Yes, it was the Red Dragon Mage of Dalaran, after that incident, he was completely swept into this great tide of oppression and resistance, invasion and counterattack.
Later, Ravenkes, the upper elven lord of Ravenkes, who was on the side of the Night Elves, was assassinated, and Garrod, who was also the lieutenant, carried the banner in danger, and he found the guardian dragon, the demigod of the wilderness, to form an alliance against the demons.
The white-haired elves are on the front lines, commanding armies against countless demons, ultimately buying precious time for the Fury Brothers and Tyrande who ventured to blow up the Well of Eternity.
It can be said that without Garrod, this world would have been destroyed 10,000 years ago, but for some reason, after the end of the War of the Ancients, this guy and his wife chose to live in seclusion, and even his sister never saw him again.
Dick smiled and handed the wooden teacup to Garrod's hand, the latter's warm face showed a decent smile, first sniffed the aroma of the top black tea from the Stormwind Kingdom, and then gently took a sip, the sweetness made Garrod's eyebrows curl.
It can be seen that he is a person who is easily satisfied, and even this sweetness can make him feel happy.
And Garrod's every move has a unique temperament that can't be concealed at all, even if he is just drinking tea, the surrounding decoration is only a simple wooden chair and wooden table, but he forced this action to drink the feeling of attending a ball in the palace.
Even Herold, a reckless man, ran over to drink a glass of water after carrying the wood, but after noticing Garrod's movements and temperament, he couldn't even make the iconic cow drink, not only did it become a small sip of the drink, but even the sound of drinking water was suppressed by him to a minimum.
The aura is powerful!
This is the first unforgettable impression that Garrod left on Dick, just unconscious movements, can affect other people's senses, this is no longer a charm can be described, this can definitely be called talented, no wonder even the moody wilderness demigods, can be pulled as comrades.
Dick stretched out his hand and gently put it on the shoulders of Erigor and Herrod, waking up the two guys with their heads down, the moment Erigor woke up, he took a step back and held one hand on the hilt of the sword, and Herrod's reaction was more intense, he drank the water in his hand in one gulp, held the water cup in his arms, turned his head and ran out.
"Uh... I'm sorry I lost my temper!"
Herold's actions also woke Garrod from tasting black tea and falling into thoughts, obviously, he also knew his own problem, and smiled innocently at the vigilant Errigor, this smile, the aura that filled this land, all dissipated.
Dick looked at Garrod's embarrassed smile, and his heart was vigilant enough, no wonder Garrod, as a commander, didn't even learn martial arts, in the later events of the Elemental Lord's invasion, as soon as he appeared, he was captured by ogres, and he had to let the foot men play Infernal Affairs to save him.
But now, relying only on this almost natural charm of the hand, he was enough to save himself in most cases.
None of these old bones that have survived from ancient times are easy to deal with!
Dick pursed his lips, a smile appeared on his face, he straightened his armor, and said gently,
"Reacquaint, Mr. Garrod, I'm Dick Don, the commander of the First Expeditionary Legion on the Eastern Continent, this is our advance camp, you and your wife can live here at any time, and I also need a local who is familiar with the terrain of Ash Valley as a guide, you shouldn't refuse, right?"
Hearing Dick's words, Garrod paused for a moment, he put down his cup, and asked in a solemn tone,
"You're coming from the Eastern Continent?Expeditionary Legion?Who is your enemy?Demon or?"
Dick nodded, and his face became serious,
"The undead have summoned demons in the Eastern Continent, they have destroyed a country, and the Sun King has told us that the demons are here for the World Tree, and if they succeed, the whole world will be destroyed, and we are here for revenge! ”
When it came to the end, Rao couldn't help blushing a little with Dick's face, this kind of lofty excuse really didn't suit him, although it was high-sounding, in fact, Dick didn't think that in the face of the demons all over the mountains, his ten thousand people could do anything.
However, this series of righteous and awe-inspiring words still made Garrod awe-inspired, he had personally experienced the battle of the ancients, he understood how powerless and frightened ordinary people were when facing an opponent like a demon, this human commander, dared to propose the will of revenge to the demon, but this was enough for him to take it seriously.
And Garrod, as a commander, thinks far more deeply than other elves, although he has been in seclusion, he is not a guy who doesn't know anything, he has his own sources, and he also understands that with the power of the night elves now, there is no chance of winning against the demon alone.
Garrod had barely managed to fend off the demon's attack by relying on a multi-race alliance for the first time, and he wanted to replicate the victory of the year, and in his opinion, Dick and the elite generals in this camp already had the strength to be part of the alliance.
But Garrod did not reply immediately, but went back into the same state of thought, which made Dick a little puzzled, but he waved his hand at Erigor anyway, signaling that he could leave.
After a long wait of a few minutes, Garrod's eyes brightened again, and Dick asked just then,
"Mr. Garrod, do you have any troubles?"
"Uh... I didn't... Well, there's one thing that I can't figure out. ”
Facing Dick's curious face, Garrod originally wanted to deny it, but thinking of what he had just thought, he decided to try the guts of the human in front of him to see if he was a true hero or a hypocrite.
Garrod made up his mind, cleared his throat, and lowered his voice again.
"Actually, I'm wondering about one thing, you humans don't know much about Ash Valley, in this forest, there is actually a temple left by the guardian dragon, by the way, what is the guardian dragon, is there one in your legend?"
Dick froze for a moment, not because of Garrod's problem, but because of a task that was inexplicably triggered.
"Drop... Trigger the side quest, "Under the Shadows"
"The shadow of the devil once again looms over the world, but after passing Garrod's narration, a mystery hidden beneath the shadows is discovered by you. ”
"Description: Discover the dilemma facing the guardian dragon!"
"Mr. Dick?
Garrod's voice woke Dick from his doubts, he glanced at Garrod, put the doubts triggered by the task behind him, and hurriedly nodded and said,
"Guardian Dragon, I know, actually, my friends and I also saved a dragon from the Red Dragon Legion on the battlefield of Dalaran's destruction, his name is Crassus!"
"Oh, Crassus, does that trouble-making guy still like to wander around?"
Garrod muttered in a low voice, and before Dick could ask back, he raised his head and said in a deep voice,
"It's good that you know, but the guardian dragon temple of Gray Valley is not the Red Dragon Legion, it belongs to the Green Dragon Legion. The temple itself is for the convenience of the green dragon to monitor the changes in the entire world. It stands to reason that the Green Dragon Legion will find out about this kind of thing as soon as the demons invade, and then report it to Mount Hyjal, but this time, until the demons occupy most of the Ash Valley, Mount Hyjal has not received a report from the dragon, so I suspect that something has happened to the Temple of the Green Dragon Legion. ”
"Wait!"
Dick suddenly stretched out his hand, and Garrod's words made his mind a little confused. He rubbed his forehead and asked with a confused expression,
"I myself have followed the most famous mage of mankind, and I remember that mage told me that the four temples were not set up as gates to ensure that druids and other creatures could enter the Emerald Dream Realm?
Garrod glanced at Dick with a strange gaze and shook his head as he explained,
Sure enough, the longer the legend goes, the bigger the flaws will be. First of all, the druids and other dream creatures themselves can connect to the Emerald Dream through sleep, and there is no need for a gate at all, and secondly, the bronze dragons are not in charge of a single world, they are responsible for managing the endless derivative worlds on the timeline, and the monitoring of each derivative world is to be handed over to the Green Dragon Legion."
Garrod picked up the teacup, drank the rest of the black tea, and continued to talk about the ancient secrets,
"Queen Ysera, as the controller of dreams, can monitor everything that happens in the world through the tower called "Sleep of the World", and they are the real world watchers. The Blue Dragon Legion and the Black Dragon Legion are responsible for defending against invasions from outside the world and cataclysms within the world, and the Red Dragon Legion is responsible for the reenactment of life after every catastrophe that annihilates the world, do you understand?"
Dick nodded, his mind was in confusion right now, Garrod's statement was a little different from the setting in the game, but if you think about it, maybe this elf is right.
However, he also realized the purpose of Garrod's words, this powerless but highly developed brain guy planned to fool himself into crossing the demonic blockade and going to the Temple of the Green Dragon Legion to investigate the situation.
What is this?
The paladin looked at the white-haired elves, he took a deep breath, suppressed his dissatisfaction with them, and nodded.
"So, Mr. Garrod, do you mean to leave us with the task of contacting the Green Dragon Legion? And who are you? I don't think that an ordinary elf would know so much about the guardian dragon!"
Garrod shrugged his shoulders in Dick's way, and a mysterious expression appeared on his warm face.
"It doesn't really matter who I am. The important thing is that when you hear my name, I know from the look on your face that you must know me, don't you? Mr. Dick, no ordinary human can ever hear my name, so let's be honest, and this time it's a small favor for me, how about it?"
