Chapter 37: The First Gamble
Our group spent the night in a tent camp near the burned monastery. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Early the next morning, Severn and his party turned back from the trail to the Alterac Valley in the Silver Pine Forest.
I have the impression that the heart of the Alterac Valley is a large mountain range, with a very steep terrain, rich in minerals and precious flora and fauna, across Lake Lordamere and the Tirisfal Woodlands.
Crossing the narrow valley of Alterac and heading north leads to the famous town of Stratholme, which was one of the major towns of Arathas before the catastrophe and was very prosperous.
We entered the territory of Alterac with great difficulty, the domain of the nobles of Aratho, the Perinod family, but because of the steep terrain and sparsely populated area, there were few people living here.
Strangely, as soon as we entered the middle of the valley, we were confronted by a huge convoy of convoys.
The pole held by the leading guard was tied to the banner of the Perinord family, and the totem of the flag was a white eagle flying with its wings outstretched.
"Your Highness, look over there." One of the guards pointed to the troops in the distance and said to Severn.
Saiwen was riding on a horse, and when he heard this, he also looked up.
A huge army is coming this way from a distance.
"Looks like we've met a lord?" Severn said to himself.
I thought about it carefully in my mind, but I still couldn't remember who the lord was at this time.
The horse team approached, and saw a young man who looked to be in his teens, riding a tall horse, wearing a beautiful feather top hat, dressed in the costume of a human nobleman, wearing a retro and exaggerated white shirt and tuxedo, with the insignia of the Perynolds family embroidered on the neckline, a dark blue silk bow tie on his chest, adorned with dazzling gemstones, a pure red shawl inlaid with gold thread with various fine colored pendants, wide breeches underneath, and black riding boots on his feet.
"Are you from Silvermoon City?" The aristocratic young man greeted us in a friendly manner.
"This is presumably Lord Knorr of the Parinor family." The guard whispered in Severn's ear that he wasn't sure, but it looked like the formation.
"Hello, Lord Knorr." Severn cautiously stretched out his right hand and took the man's hand.
The boy laughed out loud and said, "Noel. Parinor is my father, I am his son, and my name is Aiden. Parinord. ”
My heart moved, how can this name be so familiar?
His eyelids jumped, and he suddenly remembered in his heart, "Aiden. Peranord: "Isn't that the same king who founded the kingdom of Alterac and later betrayed the Alliance?!" How did he end up here?
Severn probably felt that it was rude to recognize the wrong person, so he got off his horse and stood on Aiden. In front of Parinold, he stretched out his hand again and said, "I'm really sorry, I don't go out much, and I actually recognized you by mistake." ”
Aiden laughed out loud as if he didn't care, and got off his horse and said, "It's okay. ”
After a few pleasantries, when he learned that Saiwen was actually one of the members of the Silver Moon Council, Aiden sighed in surprise: "I didn't expect you to be one of the members of the Silver Moon Council at a young age!" ”
Saiwen smiled awkwardly and said, "After the magic of our High Elves passes, we will become the same as when we were young, which is really a joke for you." ”
Aiden was even more surprised, and said, "It turns out that magic is really so magical, I have told my father many times that I want to learn magic, but he has never allowed it. ”
Severn was going to change the subject, so he asked, "I wonder what you came to the barren mountains of Alterac for?" ”
Aiden looked at the huge mountains around him and said with a smile, "I'm here to find out the mineral deposits of the mountains. ”
As he spoke, he took out two rocks from his arms: "I have found at least three ore logging sites this time, and the minerals here in Alterac are too many to count. ”
I stuck my head over and looked closely at the two rocks in his hand.
Aiden also noticed me, so he smiled and asked, "Who is this?" ”
"My name is Nitya, Your Highness."
Severn was about to answer, but I got ahead of him, so he glared at me.
Aiden laughed out loud and said, "My father is a baron, and I don't have a title, so you can just call me Aiden." ”
I was secretly surprised to see that the person in front of me did not have the title of hereditary Perynold.
Suddenly, a trace of uneasiness welled up in my heart, if Aiden in the history of World of Warcraft. Perinod, who established the later kingdom of Alterac, wouldn't the person in front of him be ...... in the future?
So, I couldn't sit still while sitting on the horse, jumped off the horse, looked at the young man in front of me, and asked tentatively, "Aiden...... Your Highness, I wonder if you would like to make a bet with me? ”
As soon as these words came out, Aiden and Saiwen were stunned.
"Please, Miss Nitya." Aiden replied with a smile.
"I want to bet you that you will definitely establish a kingdom of your own in the future, and you will be called Your Highness by your people." Even though I said this, my heart was pounding like a drum, and I wasn't sure if the history I knew would ever happen in such a game world.
"This ......," Aiden replied hesitantly, looking at me.
Severn looked at me in surprise.
After a while, Aiden smiled quietly: "Then what is the bet?" I'd be interested to know. ”
I looked down and thought for a moment, then said, "If I guess correctly, I hope His Highness Aiden will promise me that if I need your help, he will be able to help me......"
If I'm not mistaken, Alterac was a very prosperous and powerful country in the early days, and just in case, it's always a good idea to seek peace charms first.
"And what if you're wrong?" Aiden asked me with a smile.
"If I'm wrong and you're in danger, I'll help you just as well." I looked up at Aiden. Parinord.
"Hahahaha......" he laughed, "but what can you help me?" ”
Yes, Aiden is right, with me as a little Night Elf girl, how can I help him?
I shrugged my shoulders and said, "But Your Highness, you have nothing to lose, so you can make a joke with me." ”
I say this, but I know that the most important thing for human beings is identity and honor, and Aiden will definitely agree to this bet.
If I win this bet by luck, I will definitely get help from the Alterac Kingdom in the future if I need it, and no matter how many years have passed, the bet will still exist, even if it is hundreds of years.
After Soladin's death, the kingdom of humanity ceased to be united, and soon Alaso was about to fall apart......
Aiden was slightly stunned, thought for a moment, and said, "Since Miss Nitya wants to make this bet with me so much, then I naturally have to agree...... Just ......"
"Just?" I don't know what he wants to say.
Aiden smiled and said, "It's just that if you guess wrong, I'm still my lord young master, I don't think I'll encounter any danger, why don't you gamble on something else?" ”
"What do you want to bet on?" I asked without thinking.
Aiden smiled, "If you guess wrong, please exchange it for a treasure." ”
"Okay, I don't know what kind of treasure it is?"
Aiden looked at my neck and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this amber neck ring around your neck is very precious, would Miss Nitya be willing to bet on it?" ”
I subconsciously covered my neck, this neck ring is naturally precious, not only the legendary Nitya's mother made it herself, my teacher, the great druid Van Linkoff. The treasure that Furious Paw gave me, and Varna said that this neck ring was blessed with the blessing of the Red Dragon Queen.
This is probably the most important and precious thing I have in the game after life!
"What? Don't want to? Aiden raised an eyebrow with a sarcastic smile.
"To show my sincerity," I gritted my teeth and said, "I am willing to bet on it, and if I lose, I will send it to your territory, Your Highness." ”
