Juvenile Beginnings Chapter 9 Hitting the Wall and Continuing (I)

Marcus and the miners who were still alive were saved, and Edlan was pained by the Paladin's lack of good group healing spells, and even though his "MP" wasn't bad, he felt a little helpless watching a dozen people waiting to be cleaned and healed lined up there.

In the end, after more than half an hour of uninterrupted initial treatment, the saved people were all out of danger, and on Elke's corpse, Adlan's delicate dagger and dagger that were still useful, as well as some change, were all taken for himself.

Here's an intriguing episode, when the rescued miners regained their strength and slowly walked out of the mine and saw the light of day, many people chanted words like "Praise the Holy Light, thank its selfless and brave followers for risking great danger to save us", but only one middle-aged man who looked very thin knelt on the ground and bowed to the southwest with a crazy face, saying something "Thank you to the wolf god." ”

The Wolf God, the Wolf Cult, the Shadow Fang Castle, and at this time, Arugao, a parallel trade archmage, already had an idea in this regard?

Forget it, Gilneth can't afford to support the mud, let him play by himself if he wants to play autism, and at this time, the wall of Greymane should also have a prototype, right?

Edlan was thinking about what he didn't have, and Marcus buried Elke's body in a nearby cemetery with mixed feelings, and erected a simple wooden cross tombstone for him. In this regard, Edlan really wants to use the Holy Light to completely purify the round, so that when the natural disaster and plague come, Elk and others will be pulled up and become members of the undead army.

But he thought, what should the so-called purification do? I don't know, he has not been trained in the relevant aspects, so he can only consider the advanced aspect of the cleansing technique, but can he develop a spell that can be done in a day or two? So in the end he gave up on this idea, anyway, when the sky fell, there was a tall top, Uther, old Mograine, these two banners are fine.

After this inexplicable life-and-death situation, Edlan restrained a lot, he no longer thought about what kind of chosen son he was, all the "NPCs" would treat him amiably when they saw him, even if it was chosen by Old Mograine and the Abbey of the Holy Light, there would be guys like Elke.

So in order to do something great in the world of Azeroth in the future, he now just wants to improve his ability as much as possible to increase his survivability, instead of being betrayed inexplicably like just now, and then if he hadn't dealt with it like a god properly, I'm afraid he would have died on that dagger long ago......

The two of them passed through Ambermere and arrived at Dalaran, the magical capital of the Alliance, which has a strong atmosphere of freedom, academics, and commerce.

Edlan and Marcus kept their horses and carriages in a special stable outside the city to be cared for by the Nato, while they traveled lightly to the bustling city of Dalaran. There is no fixed facility of the church in Dalaran, which is not to say that the relationship between the church and the mage is not good, but there is no need to open a branch here, because the people here are all people who serve the mage except for the mage and their apprentices, and the countless mages and supporting medical centers are enough to free the people living in this big city from ordinary diseases.

As for Adelan's purpose for coming here, he had thought about it for a long time after the crossing, but he didn't get an answer.

Why didn't the five-colored dragon, as one of the guardians of Azeroth, appear in the upcoming catastrophe of the undead? Well, even if they didn't participate in this war defined as mortals, the battle of the Well of the Sun almost caused a large number of demons to tear the space into Azeroth, or when Akmund was summoned to the present world to completely destroy Dalaran, or when the Lich King stole the bones of dragons fallen from the Frost War from the Icecrown Glacier and from the Dragonbone Wilds and transformed them into frost dragons, And when the millions of Night Elves on Mount Hyjal desperately faced the onslaught of the undead and demon armies led by Akmund with their allies, what were the guardian dragons doing?

After Ulduar was controlled by the whispers of Yugsaron, the guardian dragons became almost the last high-end combat force in the living world to protect Azeroth, and the dragons who have been faithfully carrying out the power and mission given to them by the guardians left behind by the Titans, except for Nesario and his black dragon, who were deranged and rebellious by several ancient gods, there is no reason for other guardian dragons to turn a blind eye when Azeroth is in crisis.

Edlan, who knew almost nothing about this secret, didn't know what to do, so he had to analyze it first.

Bronze Dragons, as the guardians of time, they are mysterious, fighting the Eternal Dragons who try to destroy the timeline in different timelines, they are usually unable to participate in the wars of the present world, and they are the least likely to affect the present world.

The Black Dragon, originally as the guardian of the earth, but after the Elder God used constant whispers and illusions to make the Black Dragon King Nesario fall, the entire Black Dragon Clan has completely fallen into chaos, and now the Black Dragon King should be fighting with Goron in Draenor, right?

As the guardian of Azeroth's magic, the Blue Dragon was betrayed by the Black Dragon in the Battle of the Ancients, and the Blue Dragon Clan, which was the most capable of fighting, was also attacked by the Black Dragons who had been planning for a long time at the first time, resulting in heavy casualties among them, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as almost annihilation, almost 95% The death of tens of thousands of years old adult dragons, and even the death of Sindalgosa, the spouse of the Blue Dragon King Malygos, at the hands of Nesario, made the Blue Dragon King completely radical and radical, and his clan and beloved died one after another, making him only one step away from becoming a madman.

So you can't expect a dragon king who is going crazy to do much.

Then the red dragon is next, and the guardian has given Azeroth the authority to live, it stands to reason that they should be "jealous and hateful", they are in the temple of the dragon's sleep and always pay attention to the safety of Azeroth, and the red dragon queen Alexstrasza was given the mission to protect all the lives of Azeroth, so it is easy to understand, the undead and life are mortal enemies, but why didn't they appear in time?

The Temple of Dragon's Sleep was in the middle of the Dragonbone Wilderness, and when the Lich King stole the bones of the dragon that had died in battle, why didn't they stop this blasphemy?

Edlan's own explanation to himself was that during the orc war, under the conspiracy of Deathwing, the Red Dragon Queen was captured by the orcs with the dragon's soul, an artifact of the dragon clan, and no dragon could resist the power of this artifact, so her heir was also forced to become an accomplice of the orcs, and later was dismantled by Luo Ning, the child of destiny, and others dismantled the conspiracy, and in this crisis, the loss of the Red Dragon Legion was not too great.

So the Lich King took advantage of the time lag to steal the dragon bones when the Red Dragons were struggling to take care of themselves for the sake of their queen? This is understandable, so what was the Red Dragon doing when the World Tree planted by Hyjal Mountain was threatened by Akmund to kill the Archdemon by self-detonation?

And then there is the calamity of the green dragon, for them in charge of the Emerald Dream, Adlan can only say that if the Nightmare King is not eliminated one day, the Green Dragon, a group of guys who protect the world by sleeping all day long, can only wait to be corrupted by the nightmare into monsters, and eventually become accomplices in the destruction of the world, and in the "later history", even the noble Green Dragon Queen Ysera was corrupted in the battle against the Nightmare King, and finally fell......

Although the dragons had already lost their dragon power at that time, thinking about it this way, it was so simple that Azeroth had a difficult future, and it was almost a direct game over several times, so the green dragon could not be counted on.

After thinking about it for a while, he found that none of the thighs he wanted to hug seemed to be able to hug, and Edlan, who was in a bad mood, looked at the dazzling shops along the way and felt that he was out of mind, and then he found that there was something wrong with Marcus beside him.

"Hey, Marcus, why did you always look scared when you arrived in Dalaran?

"Uh......" Marcus scratched his head, he didn't know what to say, he and this young "young master" had already been friends with each other, so he held back for a long time and only said one sentence, "It's all a mistake made when he was young...... There is a beautiful lady here, she ...... Been waiting for me ......"

Well, it looks like this guy really is that kind of (harmonious) Marmarcus. His first lover was a female mage, and he went on a fish-killing mission with her, and rewarded him...... It's a meat compensation bridge that is not suitable for children, and the young and merry Marcus has a night of passion with Miss Mage, who likes excitement.

Looking at him now, it can't be said that Marcus is ruthless, at least he still seems to be very nostalgic for the old love, so it can only be said that he ...... He hasn't reached the level of a brave man who even the forsaken, the cow-headed and the man will dare to be in the future, but what changed him?

After this episode, Edlan decided to find a place to settle down first, so he naturally went to the Magic Hotel in Dalaran.

After renting a room, looking at the ghostly Marcus, Adlane decided to give him a paid vacation, and he also had to think carefully about how to hug the dragon's thigh.

So, after some deliberation, he decided to write a letter to whom, of course, to Crassus, the Red Dragon Mage in the Council of Six, who always liked to use Transfiguration to come to the humanoid race to observe and learn from them.

Here is a six-member council of Dalaran, Dalaran is the capital of free mages, there is no king here, so the mages themselves elected 6 respected members to form a council, which is considered the highest existence in Dalaran's ruling body, and they and their subordinates are responsible for handling various affairs of Dalaran.

Of course, Adlan chose to give Crassus firstly because he was the youngest consort of the Red Dragon Queen, secondly, because he was willing to get close to the mortal race, and thirdly, because of his high status in Dalaran.

But here's the problem.

With Edlan's status, it's almost impossible to meet a member of the top ruling class in Dalaran, but let's try it anyway.

Now, Edlan was dressed in the bathhouse, putting on the coat representing the Abbey of the Holy Light in Lordaeron and taking the letter he had written...... As for the content of the letter, it is roughly a slightly vague description of the five-colored dragon fighting against demons during the battle of antiquity, lacking the necessary embellishment and using gorgeous rhetoric to describe it, in fact, it is just a dry narrative poem.

Edlan stood under the tallest spire-shaped building in Dalaran, where the Council of Six of Violet Castle was located. After explaining to the two battle mages standing guard at the door, "I am the messenger of the Monastery of the Light, and this is a letter addressed to His Excellency Archmage Crassus", Edlan handed the envelope in his hand to the other party in a mock manner.

After they glanced at each other, a short dwarf mage said: "The rich holy light on your body tells me that your identity is indeed not simple, but although you are wearing the coat of the Holy Light Monastery, there is only the breath of holy light on this letter, why is there no fire paint that belongs to the Holy Light Monastery?"

Faced with such a question, Edlan didn't notice it, but at this time he could only lie, "Sorry, due to the tight time of travel, I didn't notice that this letter was not stamped with fire paint." ”

At this time, the eyes of another human mage on the side were already full of suspicion, "The scent of soaphorn emanating from your body is obviously the toiletries provided in the magic hotel, you told me that time is tight?"

"......" Adelan was speechless, it is true that if he is a messenger with a heavy responsibility, the first thing he should do when he enters the city is to complete the task immediately, not to go to the hotel to take a shower and dress neatly like Edlan. Lacking the necessary "experience", Edlan simply sighed, "I'm sorry, I lied about the identity of the messenger, but this letter does have important content, and I hope it can be passed on to Lord Crassus." ”

"Hmph, how did the Church of Light come up with such a lying creature like you? Your lies make me ashamed of you! Get out of here!

Under the anger of the human mage, Adlan left a little stupidly, although he could expect the ending, but what he didn't expect was that he still lacked too much experience.

Walking through the streets of Dalaran, the beautiful violet heterochromatic style streetscape filled the entire field of vision, and it didn't cheer up Edlan in the slightest, and he unconsciously walked back to the magic hotel. The first floor of this inn is not much different from a normal tavern, where guests eat and drink, and the second floor is where they stay.

Seeing that it was about to be evening, he hadn't eaten yet, so he ordered a plate of roast rabbit meat, to be honest, the taste of this meat is really flattering, far less delicious than making it himself, but it seems that because he doesn't drink alcohol, the grilled dishes sold in the store should be eaten with wine to be more flavorful.

So Edlan added a large glass of moonberry foam drink, and this sweet and sour taste quickly diluted the bloody smell of the poorly grilled rabbit meat. "I can finally eat ......" Edlan, who muttered quietly, relaxed a little, and also came back to his senses from his preoccupied appearance, and then the loud ridicule of the surrounding diners also entered his ears-

“...... I've heard that the orc forces in the Alterac Valley are really difficult to deal with, and I've heard that the conflict between them and the dwarves who went there to explore is getting more and more intense!"

"Why hasn't Lordaeron sent his troops to encircle the damned orcs, what if they rush out of the valley?"

"Who knows? Dalaran is safe anyway, don't worry about it, man. ”

"Well, that's right, I hope Lordaeron will send troops soon...... Hi Gizzy, two more Highland spirits!"

As the conversation between the two big-mouthed humans ended, a haggard-looking female goblin quickly served them two large glasses of spirits with a wine tray, and soon there was laughter at the table.

Only then did Edlan realize that there were money-hungry goblins in Dalaran, but this goblin attendant didn't seem to be doing well.

"Hey, Gizzy, I still have four more glasses of Winter Springs here!"

"Here, Gizzy, I want a full glass of Lordanlen rice and wild fish fillet!"

"Bring me a pot of dwarven honey, by the way, another pork liver pie without pork liver......"

The sound of shouting and shouting came into his ears, representing the arrival of the "evening rush" time of dining, Adelan originally enjoyed a table by himself, but soon there were so many people that he had to share a table with strangers, so he got up and left after eating his meal in twos and threes.

But before he left, he seemed to hear someone teasing the female goblin named Gizzy, some complaining about why the innkeeper didn't find a succubus to be a waiter, and some people obviously drank too much and started to talk badly...... But eventually, Edlan's eyes lit up when he heard someone laughing at her for trying to earn money to open a barbershop by working as a waitress.

Yes, goblins who value money as life, if they are given enough money, I'm afraid they will dare to kick the dragon's ass......! Worth a try?

After the night, Marcus returned to the Magic Hotel in the morning, when Edlan was eating breakfast on the first floor, and when he saw that Marcus looked as if he had fought 10 battles with orcs in the Burning Plains, he smiled and said nothing.

It seems that Miss Mage is also very nostalgic.

In the afternoon, Edlan, who had finished his meditation and spell development, woke up Marcus, who was still in a sweet sleep, and asked him to make contact with the female goblin named Gizzy first, mainly to see if she was capable of doing what he wanted to do for Edlan.

Soon, Marcus, who has been in the "rivers and lakes" for many years, inquired about some useful information about Gizzy, who was a little different from other goblins, and her desire for money only stopped at being able to open a barber shop in Dalaran, she was very confident in her craft, she came to the Eastern Continent from Kalimdor to save money to open a shop, but in fact, when she came to this metropolis of commerce, freedom, and magic, she found that she was still far from her dream.

If people have needs, it's good to "prescribe the right medicine", anyway, Adelan didn't look for her to do anything unseemly, just let her use her relationship in the goblin group, find a guy who can speak well, and do Adelan a small favor.

"Do something for me, and I can give you a reward of 100 gold when it is done. ”

Although Gizy was judged by Marcus to be not very hungry for money, now she couldn't help but let out the goblins' mantra after hearing Edlan's offer, "Speak up, time is money, my friend!"

"Well, it's very simple, it's not like you're going to kill people and set fires, you just need to help me find a guy who can speak, and through him, I'd like to hire the whole of Dalaran to sing a little tune for me in 10 days, how about it?

"Hi ~ generous stranger, your generosity is far beyond my imagination, in fact, you don't have to look for any more talkative guys, I have worked in the magic hotel for several years, and I know as many juggling guys as I want!"

Hearing this, Edlan's eyes lit up, and then he suddenly said, as a waiter, this kind of interpersonal relationship must be not lacking, "Yes, I will give you a deposit of 10 gold coins first, and then no matter if you steal or rob it, as long as there are more than 100 people who take the initiative to help me sing this tune, and I want to use the most touching melody to impress all those who listen! At the end of the checkout, I will give you an extra 1 gold coin for every 10 more people, how about it?"

"Deal!" the green-skinned goblin happily took the bag of gold coins that Adelan had thrown her, and ran away in a whirlwind of joy.

"Young Master, this ...... No problem, right?" Marcus on the side was also rare and strange, although he knew that Edlan had a lot of money, but he didn't expect him to give them the only 10 gold for the trip without the slightest hesitation.

"It's okay, go find your old lover, remember not to play too crazy this time, tomorrow I need you to help me keep an eye on that goblin." ”

"Uh......" Marcus laughed at the broken heart, and then he slipped away happily again.

Pinching his nose, Edlan pulled out two more bank notes from the compartment of his leather boots, filled in a string of numbers on them, and stamped his lord's seal, one for the goblin after the deed, and the other for the next two people's travel expenses, after which he began to toss the so-called "minor".

In fact, it is said to be in a minor key, but in fact it is just a vernacular text without any rhythm at all:

The myth of the legend of 10,000 years

The darling of the gods

Guardian of the Colorful World

The vanguard of the fight against evil

Ahh......h A forgotten cause

Lur, lur, lur...... The weeping of the earth being divided

La, la, la......

La, la, la......

Emerald Blurred Dreams

Nightmares black and cloudy dreams

Burning shattered dreams

Moonfall dreams

At this point, Edlan stopped, if Crassus really heard this tune and came to him to question, at this point it should still be able to be explained by dreaming, after all, there is such a thing as an emerald dream, and this kind of thing can still be pulled. But if he touched on a little more information, such as revealing the whereabouts of the black dragon, it would not be something that the Jade Dream could explain......

Things are going very well, and in the past few days, almost all the bards and entertainers have been using their own different understandings, compiling songs, and slightly modifying the lyrics, which allows the originally not very smooth words to flow in the streets of Dalaran in a different way, and even some mages who are closed to the door have learned about it through the relays of their apprentices, but usually, the mages who are bent on magic experiments do not pay attention to these interesting stories of the market at all......

Ten days later, Adlane happily paid, but he was still disappointed, because the "propaganda offensive" he had carefully created that he thought would be powerful did not attract the attention of any mage, not even those academic mages who liked to read various texts all day long.

"It seems that the tragedy of the Emerald Dream is really going to continue......"

Feeling that he had done enough, and that he had done his duty, Adlan and Marcus left Dalaran and continued south, his second stop being Ironforge, the hill castle of the Copperbeard Dwarves and the temporary residence of troublesome gnomes.

But what Adelan didn't know was that on the 10th day after he left Darla, Crassus, who had returned from an outing, heard about it and quickly traced down the source driven by curiosity, but he couldn't find this human who claimed to be the messenger of the Holy Light Monastery.

Words like the War of the Ancients, the Red Dragon Legion, and the Emerald Dream were not words that mortals could often hear, and Crassus was puzzled and curious.

Although he was not sure of the connection between the letter that had been given to him and this "minor", and he could not believe that the noble and powerful Green Dragon would be in trouble, it was true that he had not seen his fellow Green Dragons for thousands of years, so driven by curiosity and nostalgia, the next day, Crassus once again left his affairs and went out, which caused the work that he had to deal with to pile up again, and also gave the other members of the Council of Six some headaches......
