Chapter 138: The Return Voyage and the Reaching Out Party (Part II)
The female elf, who was determined to make trouble for him, disappeared from sight for a long time after Shane made the decision to kill one out of ten, and Shane Kurd was very strange and asked unconsciously.
But it was immediately clear that they were wrong, and the two sisters reacted violently, without any verbal rebuke, but Shane clearly felt that Sylvanas and Wenresa were like big cats with their hair on end.
"Hey~~" Sylvanas glared for a while, and let out a long breath: "When a ranger hunts and encounters difficult prey, the general practice is to observe the habits and weaknesses of the prey first, and then find an opportunity to set traps, and finally kill the prey with one blow. You have to be careful. ”
Listening to Sylvanas's words, Shane secretly warned himself that he must be careful and always keep his agreement with the two sisters.
At this time, Wen Resa and her sister met their eyes.
"What's wrong?" Shane asked
"My sister and I have a secret to talk about, it's a secret between girls, Shane ......."
"Is that so? Then I'll go first," Shane replied with a smile, and the ladies talked about secrets, and the men immediately avoided them.
The moment the door closed, Shane saw Sylvanas and Winresa and quickly whispered something.
"Aurelia ...... Shane...... What to do?" the words flew away from my ears.
Sean really wanted to use his spirit to investigate, but after thinking about it, forget it, the female elves have a sharp intuition and will definitely be discovered.
In the rest of the voyage period, Shane could only see one of the two sisters during the rest of his Arcane practice, and the other said that he had gone to accompany Aurelia.
Wenresa and Sylvanas put up a protective ring for Shane.
The behavior was understandable, but the pattern was a little strange, and Shane asked Wenresa curiously what she had whispered to Sylvanas.
"What? Shane, instead of caring about this, you should think about how you will pay back the money when you get back to Quel'Thalas, you have a lot of modifications to do. Your income of hundreds of thousands of gold coins is not enough, this time, I will not help you. Wen Resa said, her eyes squinting to the left.
Azeroth's most versatile mystical power, the gold coin, has always been Shane's shortcoming. Received the family property offering more than 100,000 G per year, and the master's annuity of 100,000. The annual balance of the construction and operation funds of the Arcane Academy is almost 100,000 G, and the timber, herbs, and grain are all hoarded for their own use, and the annual balance is about 700,000 yuan after counting the trade income and the gold mined by Kalimdo.
But! However, it took 400,000 G to build two new ships (saving 100,000 G by my own dock), and the team cost more than 100,000 yuan per year. The trip to the Northland owed a lot of money, and it is estimated that there is no hope of repaying it within the year.
Wen Leisa's ability to divert the topic is also too poor. But Shane didn't ask, and gave the girl a secret space. So she asked Sylvanas, and the elf raised her eyebrows, crossed her waist with her left hand, and put her right finger on Shane's chest: "Why do you think I'm looking at Aurelia, huh!" As the leader of the Northlands, you should obviously be thinking about how to grow and develop, and how to solve the problem of the Sky Knight. There are too many elves counting on you to give you a path of development, and at this time you are thinking about female elves. Are you getting something wrong? ”
Sean is a sensible person, the words of the two sisters. Reading between the lines reveals a position for his sake, raising his imminent questions. Since they won't say anything, let the secret stay where it is.
…… Dividing line ......
The speed of going south was not due to the increase in operation proficiency, and it took a few days less than the time to go north. Approaching Quel'Salas, Shane ordered to avoid Silvermoon City, Sunsail Harbor. Drive from the sea to the Tower of Windranger and then go straight back to the academy.
The long-lost scenery and the people who have not been seen for a long time greeted him.
To the left is the cloud-like building of the college, and to the south is the bustling street district. On the right-hand side is the barracks and training ground where the rangers are stationed.
The floating tower remains above the original site. "Master", "Chief", and "Principal" came one after another, and Shane walked into the academy like a star.
There were many mentors who wanted to talk to him, but he only said a few words of greeting and then walked into the principal's room of the academy and closed the door. The Windwalkers have all returned to the Windranger Tower, so he is alone.
"Chief Shane, you've got all the people you're looking for."
"Come in"
The door opened, and some of his most trusted lecturers entered.
"Master Shane"
Shane nodded: "Let's talk about the academy first." ”
Most of the lecturers said that the college controls the step-by-step process, there are no ups and downs, the teaching philosophy is more practical, the emphasis is on experiments, and the cultivation of students' learning habits. The only thing that was unusual was that Dalaran approached the Academy through Prince Kael'thas to ask how the exchange was going.
Dalaran is testing the power structure of the Academy, a clever approach.
"Select fifteen active students, and fifteen excellent students, tell Dalaran half a month to a month, and we will go."
"Let's go to Ann"
"Wait," Shane called out to a few of the people who were leaving.
"Master Harold, Master Solan Lian, I have obtained a batch of metals and plants, as well as animal and plant specimens from the Northlands, and donated them to the Academy, and after you have studied them, we will explain them to our students."
Several lecturers gladly accepted.
The materials donated to the academy will soon flow out, and the harvest of the Northland, where ordinary elves are still half-covered with harps, will be said by those elves who are always watching him or opposing him, and it will be more effective than Shane himself saying that the propaganda is more effective.
In the plaza outside the academy, Karlinda and Sashana became stars in place of Shane. The students of the two houses were centered around them and asked about the trip to the Northland.
"Miss Sasana, is it cold in the Northland?"
"It's colder, but it's comfortable, there are thousands of miles of ice in winter, and the scenery is covered in silver, it's a pity not to see it." Sashana said coldly, her personality like this, as if a cold wind was really blowing, and the students turned to another chief apprentice.
"Miss Carlinda, is the Northland dangerous?"
"There is no danger in staying in the Northlands, it is not easy to say outside, there are many creatures that have not been seen, but danger comes with wealth."
"What's the catch?"
Carlinda held a puddle of hands in one hand, a small dagger exposed, ugly as if she had been pecked by a chocobo, but the color was dark blue, not any known metallic color of Lordaeron.
"We were in the Northlands, and we dismantled a kind of golem called the Iron Dwarf, and after smelting them, I made this."
The small dagger is activated by Carlinda, which unleashes a set of magic missiles.
"The barrage is firing faster than before," a keen student spotted the difference.
"That's right, the dagger increases the coordination of my spell casting, and in layman's terms, it increases the speed of spell casting."
"So is there a lot of this metal in the Northland?"
Carlinda didn't answer the question, whetted the appetite of the juniors, and made a ladylike smile. "The story of the Northland will be given to you tomorrow, now let's rest for a day."
Everything in the academy can't be hidden from Shane, and the trip to the Northland is spread in a subtle way, and after a while, the Northland metal products are on the market, and the rangers who have some harvest have returned home, so that the elves can see the harvest of the Northland more intuitively.
In fact, a double enchanted weapon obtained by each ranger to deal with the Iron Dwarves is not a small property.
The materials brought back from the north were transferred through the magic circle one by one, and a vacant space was set up for the academy to build a warehouse.
In the late summer season, the heat reveals its last madness.
Elves, accustomed to enjoyment, how could they be bothered by the heat, the cool breeze gusted in the headmaster's room, the marble floors, the walls, and a circulating waterway passed under the floor. And a small conch on Shane's waist always casts a spell to produce cold water vapor to regulate the temperature
"Master Shane, it's not good" A ranger from the Red Sun Guard, sweating profusely, found the headmaster's office.
"Don't rush, speak slowly"
The Ranger took a breath and said, "We have lost some of the Northland materials, and the Northland metal obtained by smelting the iron dwarves is less than three hundred ingots, and a lot of specimens have been lost. ”
It must have been done by the stalker, and Shane made up a task: 'sneak to the academy warehouse to collect ten substances' or something, and after the thieves came in, they looked at it, okay, it's all over the ground, no need to look for luminaries carefully, and then finished the task with joy and went back to receive the reward.
"The plan is going well, and when I leave Quel'Thalas and go to Dalaran to communicate, the rumors about the Northland will ferment faster." Shane thought that he only had to nod his head back and forth anyway. If you are not afraid of any chaos, you can even communicate in Dalaran in the morning, go back to the White Tower in the afternoon to handle official business, and practice arcane arts in the Floating Tower in the evening.
When she was about to leave, Wen Leisha was unsupervised and came to the White Tower Academy freely. Seeing Sean squirm and squirm with her hands behind her back, she leaned against the window of her room, the red sun of the setting sun in the background.
The girl looked up at Shane, her face flushed with light: "This thing is for you, you don't want it." The girl took out a paper bag in both hands and stuffed it into Shane's arms.
"What is it?" Shane took it and weighed it, it was heavier, very weak, but a very stable magical aura lingering in it. (To be continued......)
