Chapter Seventy-Seven: New Expectations
"Your Majesty the Sun King, this is how it happened......"
Gianna makes a ladylike salute to Annastarian, the unhurried narrator, Stratholme.
Anastarian had come to Dalaran a few days earlier, and his visit was no secret to the upper echelons of Dalaran, but it still caused quite a stir.
Antonidas led the Council of Six to greet him personally, and the old man knew the real purpose of Anastarian's visit, and Dalaran did not have the face to let the Sun King, who had ruled the ancient empire for thousands of years, come in person.
After Anastarian came to Dalaran and heard about Etis's absence, he nodded when he knew that Kael'thas was also with him after a little inquiry, but waited patiently in the nearby High Elf gathering area, and then Gianna took Kael'thas back to Dalaran, and what happened later made the Sun King frown.
"So..... Etis went to the north, didn't he?" the Sun King Anastari was very old, but the years had not left much of a mark on his face, and the face that resembled Kael'thas was now full of disappointment.
"Your Majesty Anastarian, don't worry so much, I'm sure Etis will be fine. Antonidas comforted His Majesty the Sun King with confidence, after all, didn't Medivan follow him?
Fortunately, Antonidas didn't know that Medivan didn't follow Etis anymore in order to complete his so-called plan, otherwise ...... Hehe.
After Gianna reported about Stratholme, she came to the shopping street, and Pastor Mary, who had been waiting there for a long time, couldn't wait to step forward and take her hand and said with a slight complaint, "Gianna...... You're too slow, I've been waiting for a long time....."
Mary herself is the daughter of a Lordaeron nobleman, who was baptized into the cathedral by Alonthos Fao when she was very young, and is also somewhat famous in Lordaeron, and has met with Gianna a few times before, and in this mission, because she has been taking care of the injured Gianna, she has become a best friend, and later when Alsace left Stratholm and went north, he appointed Mary as an envoy to visit Dalaran, on the one hand, she expressed her gratitude to Dalaran, on the other hand, Mary had a good relationship with Gianna, so by the way, I would like to see if I could ask for some help, after all, in addition to Stratholme, there are also many undead disasters wandering in other places in Stratholm.
Gianna smiled slightly and patiently explained to Mary that it made her very happy to have a girl of about the same age accompanying Gianna, she actually had very few friends in Dalaran, and most of the mages were guys who liked to stay at home and study, which made her feel very lonely sometimes, "Fortunately, Etis came later, I don't know how that guy is now." ”
"Hey, hey. Mary interrupted Gianna's thoughts and asked mysteriously: "Gianna, His Royal Highness Prince Arthas likes you very much, but I don't think you seem to like him, tell me honestly, are you ...... to that elf?"
Gianna's face turned red and gave Mary a white look: "As long as you talk too much, you better take care of yourself first!"
When I first met Etis, I thought he was a daredevil, and his mouth was unforgiving, and his sarcasm often made her angry, because they often quarreled, and sometimes they even fought, uh...... Although it was only Etis who was beaten unilaterally, Gianna encountered many dangers later, and Etis sacrificed himself to save him, as a royal ...... Without the arrogance that the aristocracy possesses, they often accommodate themselves.......
You must like him, right?" Gianna asked herself unconfidently.
"But when did it start?"
"It's over, it's over, it looks like you're really stuck in it!" Mary said with a teasing smile as she looked at Gianna, who was blushing.
Gianna, who seemed to have been poked in the center, was annoyed and angry, and attacked Mary's slender waist directly: "Dead girl, look at your nonsense!"
"Hah.... Ha.. Don't make a fuss...."
Mary and Gianna's laughter echoed in the sky above the shopping street, and the people around who knew Gianna showed good-natured smiles, as they had watched Gianna grow up since childhood, it was the first time they had seen Gianna so 'messing around' on the street.
You must know that for some old things at home, the cute and beautiful Gianna is like her own daughter, and the sentence that Gianna threatened Atis at the beginning, "If I shout casually, five fireballs will hit you in the face immediately" is not groundless!
Just like now, the alchemist Lynch of the pharmacy squinted at this scene with a smile and nodded with relief, although little Gianna's pranks often gave him a headache, but now he is still happy that little Gianna finally has a good friend.
......
The estuary of the Sodoril River.
On a mountain peak by the sea, a raven suddenly took on a human form, and looking at the mast of the departing ship, the man whispered to himself, "Is it a fateful choice......?
Medivan, who had been quietly following Etis, had witnessed everything that Etis had in Stratholme, and it was only a guess before, but now he was sure that this elf, albeit only on a small scale----- this elf did have the ability to change his fate.
Medivan hesitated for a long time and finally sighed, "Uther shouldn't have any problem following him, and you can't just pin your hopes on Etis...... The original plan still has to be carried out. ”
"But I can't let him do that..... It's dangerous over there..... He should be given an insurance ......."
As if to convince himself, Medivan began to gather his magic, and a violet-shaped symbol appeared in his hand, and a blue light flashed in Medivan's eyes, and he punched the mark in his hand into a passing seagull.
The seagull struggled for a moment, and as if given some order, it chased after Etis.
"That should be fine..... Let's hope he comes back safely. ”
At this time, Etis didn't know what the next journey would be, he thought about everything in the north in his room, silently thinking about his plan in his heart, and had some exchanges with Alpha from time to time.
"Alpha, I've wanted to ask for a long time..... You.... Isn't it smarter?"
[Why does the Supreme Guardian think so?]
"Uh.... You used to communicate with me very mechanically, like a real ...... system, now I feel like you're more like a ..... Well, intelligent creatures. ”
[Evolution]
"Huh?"
[I was given intelligence and mission when I was created, and now it is only the result of alpha self-learning, and it does not fully represent the biological intelligence I have. 】
"Really?" Etis smiled, then looked at the Heart of Azeroth with his chin propped up.
"I'm really looking forward to it after that......"
