"Aren't you waiting for Vero?" Asselie looked at the figure of Bolval walking forward first, and said with some hesitation.

"What are you waiting for?" Sandknife said impatiently, "If we let this guy strike first, then we won't get anything." ”

"But the elders have said that Princess Thrydes of Maladon is not so easy to deal with, she is the only daughter of Lord Shimu." Compared with the fearlessness of the sand knife, Athelly, who believes in the way of shamanism, is more in awe of the power of the elements because she understands it.

Xia frowned and said, "How much does Athelly know about this princess?" ”

Esselly bit her lip, her eyes wandering.

"If there's anything to be afraid of, just say it." Sandknife, who had grown up with Essery, was clearly aware of Essery's every move, and he said impatiently.

“…… Since the Titans sealed the Old Gods, the Elemental Lords, who were loyal servants of the Old Gods, have retreated to their respective elemental realms one after another, and no longer appear in our main plane. But for some reason, Princess Thrydes, the only daughter of the Stone Elemental Lord's Stone Mother, was stranded here. Athelly whispered what the elder shaman had taught her. As the only daughter of an elemental lord who can fight the Titans, we can't be her match. ”

"Cut!" Sand Knife pouted. "Stupid, I have lost my ambition to be a young man. Of course, that's what the elders taught you, but do you think that in order to prevent the elemental counterattack, the Titans also weakened the various elemental powers of our plane before leaving, right? Otherwise, we can still have the peace we have now? Since she is an elemental princess who has stayed in this plane, after so many years, and there is no elemental power to replenish, there must be nothing to be afraid of. ”

Thea pondered. "Sand Knife's words also make sense. Elthelly, don't worry too much. From what I know of the druids of the Cenarion Council. I don't think they're going to send someone to die for nothing. But we'd better follow the knight. Because the sand knife injury was just right for a violent fight, and Willow hadn't caught up yet. Besides, we don't know what dangers lie ahead, in case there are any dangers...... We also have more time to react. Thea bit her lip, feeling a little guilty about her little calculations.

"Well, Xia was right. That's it, sand knife, don't be reckless. Elthelly looked at the sand knife with a pleading look in her eyes and shook it as she grabbed his hands.

"Okay, okay. You let it go first! You're shaking my wounds! ”

Hearing Sandknife say this, Etholi hurriedly let go. The sand knife unnaturally held his head in his hands and looked at the sky with his eyes drifting. But his pace increased stealthily and quickened to follow Bowval.

Elsenley reluctantly glanced at Thea. He was speechless about the sand knife, and he trotted all the way to follow.

Perhaps because of the reflection of light from the water waves, the inner maradon is much brighter than the outer maraton. Looking at the knight walking in front, Xia had a strange sense of familiarity. But before she could think about it, a huge mutant lizard suddenly sprang out of the dense bushes on the side of the road, baring its sharp teeth and biting at Boval.

Elthel screamed.

Shia also shouted, "Be careful! ”

Bolval reacted quickly, raising his shield almost as soon as he noticed the noise around him, blocking the lizard's sharp teeth, and with his other hand, he raised his one-handed sword and stabbed it into the lizard's open bloody mouth, piercing the lizard's head. Then with a clean flick of the shield, the lizard slapped away from the distance.

But another lizard sprang out from behind him, and Berval hurriedly slashed back with his backhand sword, blocking the lizard's attack.

"Soul Shock!" A cloud of dark energy struck the lizard's back faster than his next move. The lizard let out a loud cry and turned toward Thea with blood-red eyes.

Bolval flew out of his saber and pinned the lizard to the ground.

Meanwhile. Thea then added another spell, and the lizard was finally too dead to die.

The two cooperated tacitly, and their movements were as smooth as flowing water, and it was over before the sand knife and Etholi on the other side reacted.

Boval walked quickly to the lizard's side, drew his sword with great force, and swung it into its sheath. After all this, he stood still. Waiting for Xia to step forward, he whispered, "Thank you." ”

"I should thank you." Thea replied softly.

Boval's eyes narrowed, and in the bright light of Nemaradon, he could only see Xia's clear eyes, but he always felt as if he could see her face under dark energy just a little closer, a little more.

He suddenly felt like he had lost his usual patience. I couldn't help but ask, "Can you use the Holy Light now?" ”

As long as Sia used the Light, he would be able to immediately confirm her identity.

As soon as Sia opened her mouth to speak, she heard a shrill voice coming from behind.

"Thea...... I'm not mistaken, you're fighting for the Alliance? When did you have such a good relationship with the Alliance. ”

Hearing this sarcasm, Sia couldn't help but move slightly, taking a step away from Bolval.

"Willow. You're here......"

"Well...... if I don't come again, I'm afraid that one of us will be a traitor......" Willow looked at Bolval defiantly, smiling and crossing his arms. I'm so relieved to see you get along so well! ”

Willow's tone made Bolval frown.

The atmosphere that had just been a little harmonious immediately became awkward again.

Bowwal pointed to the lizard that had just died on the ground and said-for-tat. "The creatures here have corrupted and mutated and become extremely aggressive. If you're willing to explore your way ahead, I don't mind. ”

"Yes," Willow stretched out his hand to look at him, "return my Soul Stone to me, and I can call my Cerberus to explore the way in no time." ”

Bolval turned his head away from her and walked forward.

Sia, who was caught in the middle, felt embarrassed, but fortunately Esselly came up to play the round. "Vero, you're here, we've been waiting for you for a long time, and we thought you weren't coming."

Willow smiled and tilted his head, meaningful. "Come on, why don't you come, anyway, if you want to share the stolen goods, you have to wait for the stolen goods to arrive, right? Besides, if he really broke his oath and killed you all, I can go out and report to your family when I see the corpse, and by the way, publicize the treachery of a certain knight, right? ”

Hearing this, Bolval could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb, and he turned his head to glare at Willow. Not to be outdone, Willow raised his chin and glared back defiantly. For a moment, the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

"Alright, Verlo. Say less, it's important to hurry. I don't know what else awaits us......" Thea whispered, knowing that Vero was resentful of her.

"Humph!" Willow glanced at her and uttered a sound through her nose, but still held on to her staff and walked forward.

Looking at Willow's back, Xia sighed slightly and tapped her head in annoyance.

"Thea, don't worry." Isoli patted her on the shoulder and comforted.

"It's not...... Thank you, Elsenley. Thea reached out and patted Esselly's reassuring hand on her shoulder. Willow's worries are not unreasonable, it's me...... The question of my own position. ”

"Although he has not made any threatening moves against us now, who knows what will happen next." Esselly said worriedly. "The Alliance is, after all, our enemy."

"I know." Thea smiled and didn't want to say more. She followed Esselle and caught up with the others in front of her.

Nemaraton's water is sparkling and reflects bright light. Looking at the knight who was walking in the front, the strange familiarity made Xia hold her heart hard to speak. Why does a heart that has stopped beating feel painful?

She also felt that she had trusted the strange knight too much. But what is the reason?

Is it really as righteous as she says?

Thea closed her eyes in shame and looked straight into her heart.

Because...... This knight is really very similar to that man.

The figure, the tone of the voice, and the way of doing things were all different from him, which made her habitually believe it unconsciously.

However, that person should be by Stormwind's side by Varian's side by now. Varian had just returned to Stormwind, and there were so many places to rely on him. How could he be here alone.

Thea shook her head slightly, laughing self-deprecatingly at her unrealistic thoughts.

It must be because this is the first relationship she has encountered since she was reborn that is not a hostile paladin, it must be her delusion, it must be her...... I miss him so much.

Only then did she find out deeply and sadly that looking at the back of the knight, the longing for him that she had forcibly forgotten and suppressed slowly filled her heart.

Speaking of which, it turns out that she and he have been separated for so long. And while she was alive, they had never been apart for that long.

Even when he was fostered alone by his father in the Wild West......

Even while studying at the Monastery of the Holy Light in Lordaeron......

The longest was the weeks when he was secretly ordered to reinforce the Alterac Valley at the time of her wedding.

Xia fell to the end in a trance, looking at the front of Athelly wrapped around the sand knife and whispering, a smile unconsciously appeared on her face. Reminds me of the story about conch.

"Nothing! You're hiding something from me! "She's so angry that she's jumping to her feet!" No, you have to tell me! ”

But his eyes were gentle, and finally he couldn't stand her rubbing, and blushed and whispered in her ear: "...... I will always be by your side to protect you in my lifetime. ”

"That's what you said, we want to be together forever!" She raised her face in satisfaction and smiled triumphantly.

"Of course! I swear. He laughed, but he still hid the last sentence, the one he could never have resorted to—"I**you!" "With the conch returning to the sea again.
