The sky lit up slightly.

Thea looked at the morning star in the sky and suddenly felt a tap on the shoulder. "Uncle Ferdin, are you awake?"

"Why didn't you tell me to get up for the night?" Furding scratched at his hair and smiled embarrassedly.

"I don't need to sleep, I see that you sleep so soundly, so I'll ......" Thea hurriedly stepped forward and helped Ferding clean up the blanket on the floor.

"When people are old, they really don't accept old age!" Fording sighed as he tucked the blanket into the package he had placed on horseback and tightened his pockets. "When I was younger, I could go from Stormwind to the Elwyn Forest to Crimson Mountain in one breath without even resting, but now...... Alas. He sighed softly, his eyes tinged with some desolation, and his voice became more and more inaudible. If I could have been quicker at that time...... Hurry up......"

"Uncle Ferdin?" Sensing keenly that something was wrong with Foding, Thea interrupted Foding's memories with a loud voice.

"Ha, when people are old, there are some things that they like to put on their lips all day long, haha. Let's hit the road. Furding smiled to hide that something was wrong with him.

As she traveled all the way, Xia faintly heard the sound of water, and the fierce sound of the water did not resemble the sound of this gentle river at all.

This is......? She thought confused and curious.

"We're here." Finally arriving at the destination, the roaring sound of the water made Foding have to keep his voice up. He untied Miranda's reins and patted her, and Miranda ran away cheerfully.

"Wow!" Xia was already fascinated by the scenery in front of her at this time, and she couldn't help but take a few quick steps.

A beautiful waterfall about twenty yards wide rushed down the mountain wall and smashed into the Sodoril River, causing small splashes in all directions. The mist of water evaporated, reflecting a very small rainbow in the not strong sunlight of the plague lands. And the most amazing thing is that when you look at it from the bottom of the falls, you will see that the sky is blue, not gray like the rest of the Plaguelands. Such a view may not be much in other places, but it is rare in the plague lands of death.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Ferding walked up to her and said loudly.

Although Thea couldn't hear Fordin's words clearly, she understood what he meant very tacitly. She nodded.

"You can enjoy the meeting first, I'm tired all the way, my house is not far away, you can come in when you've seen enough." Fording gestured to a small cabin not far away.

Having said that, Sia immediately chose to give up admiring the view and followed Ferding into the house.

The house was dusty, and it was clear that his owner had been out for a long time. Furding sneezed several times as soon as he entered, smiling embarrassedly. "You better wait outside for a while, I'll clean it up first. I didn't go home for a few days, and my home was so dirty that I couldn't serve guests. ”

"If it's not too cumbersome, I'll help too." Thea smiled and rolled up her sleeves.

Ferding went to the river at the door and came back with a bucket of water, and the two began to tidy up the house, chatting as they tied.

"The waterfall is beautiful, isn't it?"

Thea nodded.

"This is the source of the Sodoril River," said Ferdin, with a little pride. It is one of the few living water sources in the entire plague land. Both the Plague Creatures and the Scourge hate water and won't approach it until they have to, so it's safe. ”

"Uncle, how long have you been living here?" Thea asked casually.

"Well, I think about it, alas...... It's been many years...... I've lived here since I was exiled from my territory. Ferdin, looking at Thea, asked, "I'm an exile, aren't you afraid?" ”

Shia wrinkled her nose a little playfully. "Uncle Ferding saved me, Uncle Ferding is a good man."

"I didn't save you." Ferding waved his hand, emphasizing again.

"Not everyone will stop for someone they don't know." Xia sighed. "Uncle, you think I'm dead, but you can just walk away. You said afterwards that the place was actually quite dangerous, but if my uncle wanted to bury me, he would have stayed there for a while. How can a person who is willing to risk an attack just for the sake of a dead person who has nothing to do with it not be a good person. Moreover, the uncle is also willing to take strange forgotten people back to his home. So, I believe the uncle. ”

"Mercy and mercy...... This is the rule of knights, although ...... I can't call myself a knight anymore. ”

"Uncle......" Thea felt that this Tirio Ferdin's body seemed to be hiding some secrets, and she was suffering from it. But she wasn't prepared to ask any deeper. After all, her relationship with Fording is not a relationship that can talk about such profound issues.

"Hey, why is there a note here?" Thea, who was wiping the table, suddenly noticed a small brown envelope on the table. Because it was very similar to the color of the wood of the table, I didn't notice it at first. She hurriedly wiped the water from her hands and handed the envelope to Foding.

Ferding opened the envelope, he even vaguely knew who had written it to him, and there was a slight tremor in his steady hand.

"Dear Lord Fordin,

We are ashamed of not keeping the Tyrans safe. When we visit you again, we find that you have not yet returned home. Maybe you need some time to buffer the pain caused by this incident, and we understand this and are willing to wait for your emotions to calm down.

Since the departure of Lord Uther, you are the only wise man we can trust. We believe in your innocence and share your philosophy. When the Light visits you again that day, we know that all who are pure and unsullied will be protected by the Light. The Light has washed away the shame of those rumors. And my lord, what are you waiting for? The noble Order of the Silver Hand should not end there.

We all hope that you will come back to us to lead us and show us the way forward.

The Silver Dawn may be a sword against the scourge of the undead under your hands.

Fighting the Scourge of the Dead and bringing glory to Lordaeron - this is also Tyranta's wish in life.

We are waiting for you at the Chapel of the Wish of Light and look forward to your response.

Also: Your old friend, General Da Sohan, has accepted our request and agreed to send an envoy to negotiate a joint fight against the undead scourge, which is expected to arrive in the near future.

May the Light be with you.

Your Loyal ...... Yours sincerely. ”

"What's wrong?" Seeing Furding put down the letter with a complicated expression, Xia asked tentatively.
