Chapter 8: Winresa
"What's your plan?"
"I'll make it clear to you from beginning to end."
........
Intelligent beings always have times when they are confused, and Winnesa is no exception.
On the wooded path, she headed south again.
After sarcastically mocking Hadurun, she knew some information that made it difficult for her to choose.
It turns out that the Quel'Salas of this world has been shattered by the undead scourge, and the forest trolls have taken the opportunity to make a comeback. With the help of another kind of undead, the elves slowly regained their lost ground, but it was only a situation that they were trying to maintain, and it was not a good decision to storm Zuaman. It is precisely because of the lack of manpower that this cooperation has been established. Quel'Salas would spend a month cleaning up the perimeter of Zuaman and would meet in front of Zuaman a month later.
'This level of thinking, I really am still far behind, if it is the second sister and Shane, they should be able to see through the fog and make the right choice. ’
In fact, Wen Leisa was the one who was asked for help, and Lotherma hoped that she could use her connections in the alliance to organize a stronger expedition. Just like the pioneers of the first generation of Queldore in the story, they will work with the existing elites of the kingdom to defeat Zuaman and win a complete victory in the secret realm of trolls.
'Go to Dalaran to find another self?' Forget it. ’
'There's a Far Traveler post in Quellins, I'll go over there and have a look. ’
The maiden ran through the forest again, a canyon that stretched inland from the mountains by the sea, and served as a training ground and garrison for the Far Travelers.
Then there was a light rain in the sky, and the raindrops fell on her cloak, but instead of soaking in, they slid down the texture, and her shoes and clothes were also waterproof, but she still felt a little cold.
'The elves of this world have lost their sunwells, and they should feel even colder. ’
Braving the rain and relying on her memory, she found the hidden entrance to the mountain and leaped into it, at which point the forest became disgusting to her, and the trees twisted like monsters in the dim rain. Winnesa held back the discomfort, and halfway through, she felt that there was no sucking and no ranger guarding in the shadows.
'Are there no elves here?' ’
Approaching the hut, the doubts were solved.
'It's been abandoned, but it shouldn't be long, there's no dust in the room, at least not more than two days,' Wen Leisha wiped her fingers on the table, and there was no trace of it.
It looks like I just missed it, so I'll wait until tomorrow to look elsewhere, and I'll have to think about what to do." ’
Winetha found a food bowl from outside, which was supposed to be a stone trough for feeding chocobos, and she moved it to the hut to use as a brazier for making a fire, and found some wood and rags, and lit them with fire oil, so that her body was much warmer. Set up a pot and start making food for yourself.
After eating, after being tired from running around for days, the girl took out a blanket, wrapped it around her body and fell asleep by the fire.
It was dripping and crackling, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and from time to time lightning streaked by. The mud on the mountain road can sink your shoes into it for a few minutes, and a few figures walk in the dark mountain road.
Boom, lightning flashed again, and a miserable white light shone through the window, and Winnesa suddenly opened her eyes.
"I said earlier, Long Ears was done yesterday, and if you follow them out of the footprints, you can find a place of refuge, why don't you believe it?"
"Without further ado, we're going to spend the night here today, thanks to the elves for building this shelter from natural disasters."
"No, you see, it's a fire, and the elves didn't all leave."
"Hah! At least not the worst-case scenario, as the undead don't need to make a fire. ”
Someone else came in? In an unfamiliar environment, Wen Leisa's senses will remain a certain level of sharpness even when she falls asleep, and the sound coming from the rain is no quieter than speaking in the house.
"Anyone? Excuse me, we need to spend the night. ”
With a 'bang' the door was pushed open with a bang, and a dwarf with a great axe walked in.
"You're so rude"
"No, it's the door that's too light."
The dwarf was followed by a red-robed mage, and listening to the voice, he was the one who had just said that he was disturbing, and the mage was followed by three others, and they all squeezed in together, and the floor was a mess with rain and mud. They saw only a brazier on the ground, but not its owner.
Wen Leisa cautiously scrept through the stairwell, observing the group of uninvited guests through the small window. It's a strange combination, it's a team of humans, trolls, and dwarves.
'Team? Dwarven warriors, human knights, mages, and priests, trolls are also knights? Adventure Squad? ’
"Who are you?" She asked from the elevator shaft, but didn't appear to be stealth.
"Hell, it's a long, invisible ear," the dwarf said recklessly.
"Shut up, I'll do the talking." The mage was angry, and the dwarf was silent.
"This elf..... Ma'am, we're members of Silver Dawn, and we're sorry to disturb you, but as you can see, we need to spend the night. ”
"It doesn't look like a bad guy" Wen Leisha didn't say anything, and thought for a while before saying: "The first floor can be lent to you, but don't come up, if you die, you can only blame yourself"
"Yes, rest assured, Elven Lady," the mage said, "Elven Lady? Lady? It seems to be leaving. ”
After two speeches, but no answer, the adventurers sat on the ground around the brazier.
There's no way Wen Lisha could leave so easily, she secretly hid and listened to the conversations of the adventurers. Their organization seems to be dedicated to fighting the undead scourge. Observing their physical conditions, they have undergone very rigorous exercise. Of the five of them, one of the four was trying to persuade the other human knight, Darien, not to take any chances, Naxxramas was not an easy place to get in and out.
'Are they going to venture somewhere?' Hearing this, Winetha thought strangely, 'Maybe I can hire them too.' The Paladin and his companions should be trusted. ’
"I've got something to eat here, do you need it?"
Several people turned their heads and saw Wen Leisha standing at the top of the stairs, holding a bag in her hand. However, because the circle is different, they didn't recognize her at the first time.
"Yes, thank you so much" or the mage was talking to her.
Wen Leisha made some military rations and boiled them in a pot, and added some dried meat, and the aroma came out after a while.
The dwarf couldn't help it first, and it loaded some with its iron helmet, and took a few sips: "If only there was wine?" ”
"Shorty, you talk too much," the mage reproached the dwarf again.
"Well, that's not what I meant."
"I have," Wen Leisha smiled, and took out another bottle of elven wine from her magic bag, which even the mage was a little moved.
After a few people had finished their drinks and food, Wen Leisha put away the shelves and pots on the fire: "You are adventurers. ”
Knights and priests are silent, and dwarves are supposed to be nagging, but they are restricted by mages because they speak too badly.
"Thinking about what we're going to do, I guess we're supposed to be risk-takers?"
Wen Leisha smiled again: "Can I hire you?" ”
The man's expression immediately became strange.
"For commissions, I'll pay for them with special magic items and gold, as well as fine wine."
"Well, drink your wine, if you have anything to say, we will help you," the dwarf said suddenly.
"Are you drunk?" The mage hurriedly turned his head and asked
"I didn't, I wasn't drunk."
"Okay, this thing...... Ma'am, it's not about the pay, it's about other reasons, we don't accept employment. But after this is done, we are still alive, and you can find us in the Chapel of the Light's Wish, and we will help you within our means. ”
"How long will it take?"
"If it's fast, three days. Ma'am, you don't have to wait long, besides us, maybe you can find the people you need there. ”
Wen Leisha thought for a moment, except for the people dearest, there was no help was not an exchange, everything was marked with a price when it was born.
"I can go with you."
Boom, thunder sounded again, and the light of lightning shone on her face, and not only her, but the faces of everyone turned pale.
