Chapter 57: The Black Panther in the Vineyard
Further on, there is a beautiful vineyard, with bunches of purple grapes hanging from the trees, covered by lush foliage, and the sunlight spills through the gaps in the leaves, creating a beautiful scenery on the ground. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"...... here?" I asked curiously.
"This is the vineyard of Althea!" Lily got off her mount, took me by the hand, and walked to the middle of the vineyard.
"Look, the grapes are ripe!" She pointed to a bunch of plump and purple grapes, took out her bow and arrows, and revealed two small dimples: "Nitya, do you want to eat it?" ”
I was still in a daze, but I saw that Lily was already holding a bow and arrow, and with a graceful and dashing movement, she shot an arrow with a "whoosh".
The arrow hit the vine with unmistakable accuracy.
The ripe bunch of grapes shook twice and fell.
Seeing this, Teraidas took two steps forward and reached out to pick it up, and the grape landed firmly in his hand.
"Oh my God, Lily," my eyes widened in surprise, "how good your archery is?" ”
"Of course!" Lily proudly raised her chin and said proudly, "This bow and arrow was given to me by my teacher, called the Ancient Guardian, is it much more accurate than the previous bow and arrow?!" ”
Although I hadn't seen the "old bow and arrow" in Lily's mouth, I didn't want to spoil her interest, so I nodded vigorously and agreed: "It's much better!" It's so beautiful, too. ”
As she spoke, Lily smiled and pulled out another bow and arrow from the quiver at her waist and placed her hand on the bowstring.
This time the target grapes were much farther away than the bunch earlier, but Lily's arrows were still accurate.
There was another "whoosh", and the bunch of grapes was about to fall from the shelf overhead.
Suddenly, a swift black shadow jumped out from the side of the vineyard.
All three of us were taken aback.
The black shadow opened its mouth, grabbed the vine of the bunch of grapes, and then leaped down and landed firmly in front of us.
Only then did I realize that it was the black panther I had seen on the waterfall that day!
was in a daze, only to see that the wild druid actually "soared" again and turned into a beautiful girl.
She looked at me with a smile on her face with her slender Danfeng eyes and grape vines in her mouth.
Dressed in wild leather armor, with a ring around her waist that seemed to be made of beast's teeth, and five fingers on one hand wearing a weapon in the shape of a "cheetah's claw", which was in the shape of an animal's sharp claws and shimmered with a cold metallic sheen, Althea took two steps forward and handed the grapes to Lily.
"Althea," Lily laughed as she saw her take her human form and take the grapes, "Teacher Van Linkev asked me to bring Nitya to meet you." ”
As he spoke, he pointed to me beside him.
However, within 24 hours, I was continuously brushed by my teacher and Althea in two forms of druids, and my brain was a little stunned for a while.
After the wild druid in front of me turned into a human form, it was none other than a member of the guild, Druid Aisyah, and one of my best friends.
Speaking of getting to know Althea, it's also very magical.
That year, I had just left the Horde and managed to train the Alliance Druid to full level.
The first thing to do was to climb to the auction house at Ironforge (Note 1) to sell inscription scrolls in the hope of earning some money to learn advanced horsemanship.
I don't have any acquaintances in the league, so naturally I can't find someone to sponsor me.
At that time, World of Warcraft's "Fight Club" (Note 2) had just been launched, and Ironforge had already declined, so there were basically no players coming to play.
Everyone likes to stay in the subway in Stormwind and watch high-end players perform at Fight Club.
The reason why I like to go to Ironforge is because I'm a road idiot, and the city layout of Ironforge is simple, and professional trainers and auction houses are easy to find, so I have always tied my "Hearthstone" (Note 3) to Ironforge.
That day, I jumped up and down to withdraw money from the mailbox in front of the auction house, and when I turned around, I saw a druid in the form of a leopard sitting at the head of the bridge leading to the suspension bridge of the bank.
I leaned over curiously, and saw that the druid's name was beautiful - "Aisya".
The next day, passing by again, the druid was still in the same motion, sitting upright at the head of the bridge.
Day 3 & 4...... Finally, I became curious about this druid.
"Your name and mine are three words, so fateful, why don't you make a friend?" I walked over and whispered a word to this druid who sat like a door god and sat idle in Ironforge all day.
I saw Aisya scratch her head with her claws, then jumped off the suspension bridge and asked, "Are you the girl who sells fish all day?" ”
I was in a state of breath. What do you mean by "selling fish all day"?!
This must be explained! On my way to collect medicines, I often saw glittering fish spots on the minimap (Note 4), so I couldn't help but go fishing, and the fish I caught filled my backpack, but I was reluctant to throw them away, so I had to hang them in the auction house and sell them to others as cooking ingredients.
No, the point is, how does the other party know that I am a "girl"?
Later, Althea joined our guild, and I always asked her a lot about the Druid's profession, and she became very familiar with it.
The guild's offline party, Althea also went, I didn't expect that the wild night elf girl in the game, the reality was actually a quiet teenager who looked a little thin.
Not only is it very Sven, but also a special literary person, everyone speaks, he only listens silently, and occasionally smiles shyly.
After three rounds of drinking, I had the audacity to ask him about the first time we met.
"By the way, what were you doing at the bridgehead of Ironforge Castle every day?" I asked, looking at my friend's reddened cheeks.
"Aisya" obviously drank too much, and replied with a smirk: "Wait for someone." ”
"Waiting for whom?" My eyes sparkled a little, and my gut told me that there must be a story in this!
"Aisyah" didn't answer, just smirked.
I rubbed my eyebrows, thinking to myself that it was better to forget it, and if you don't ask, who doesn't have a secret.
Later, Althea, a brilliant wild druid, led the guild through the Lich King's version of the epic dungeon "Ulduar" (Note 5).
On the night of the fight against "Algalon the Observer" (Note 6), the guild was excited.
Althea looked at the snow-capped mountains in the distance and said to me, "President, I will be working in a while, and I may be very busy, and I will want to AFK (Note 7) for a while. ”
I nodded at him in the game and said, "Okay, reality matters." ”
After that day, however, I never saw Althea again.
Later, when I passed by Ironforge Fort, I would always subconsciously glance at the suspension bridge, but I could no longer see that familiar figure.
vaguely felt that, probably, Aisya had given up "waiting for others".
Speaking of which, I haven't seen him for about three years, right?
Hey?
That's when I remembered that if a bug in the system brought all the players who were there that day into the game world.
That illustrates...... That means that "Althea" was also on the scene that day!
He watched his guild compete for the first kill in the audience!
Thinking of this, my heart also beat violently.
I couldn't wait to pounce on it and ask: "Jiyou, it turns out that you came to see the guild to compete for the first kill!" ”
"Friends, it turns out that you haven't forgotten the friends of the guild!"
"How have you been doing in the past few years?"
However, at this moment of fugue, Lily had already explained the teacher's instructions to Althea.
Ahill's eyes also turned to my face, and he said with a smile: "Don't worry, with me, you will definitely be able to pass the career test this year and succeed in the make-up exam!" ”
I was poked by this sentence, it was like a deflated ball, how could I forget that no one other than myself has no memory of reality.
I had to look at my friend's familiar face with a pitiful face, and sighed: "Then please!" ”
Lily stepped onto the Nightblade Leopard again, waved her grape-holding hand at the two of them, and said, "Then I'll flash first!" I'm on patrol! After saying that, he walked away.
Tyridas also looked at the two of us and said, "Then I won't bother you to make up the lessons, I'll go around the town of Nodashir." ”
With that, he also sat on the Nightblade Leopard, waved at me, followed Lily, and ran.
Now, it was just me and Althea, standing under the grape trellis in the vineyard, staring at each other.
A gust of wind blew, and I felt that my "make-up lessons" seemed to ...... There is a long way to go......
