Chapter Eighty-Nine: Tarendor I
Crossing the endless darkness of the swamp, through the dense Black Forest, and rowing a canoe on the Black River, the road to Tarendor was much more difficult than expected, and two days was ideal, and when Ares actually penetrated the Black Forest, he realized that it was impossible to reach that mysterious forest town in two days.
And along the way, Crowley's body slowly changed, his nails became harder and sharper, just like the Timberwolves' claws. His limbs and body were covered with thick hair, and his body became stronger and taller. And the biggest changes are also in his face and head.
His ears narrowed and elongated, and his mouth and nose protruded from the center of his face, fusing together into a large mouth of blood. The sharp teeth look like beasts. This change does not happen overnight, you can hardly feel the change in front of him, but when you wake up, he has an amazing change.
On the fourth day, Lord Crowley was completely transformed into a werewolf...... It's just that fortunately he is still in a coma and has not woken up yet, otherwise, Ares doesn't know if he wants to kill him when he wakes up, loses his humanity and bites like crazy?
On the fifth day, the team finally arrived at Tallendor, a mysterious forest sanctuary. It's almost like a city built on trees, with intricate waterways connecting the city, and canoeing is all about getting around.
On the towering trees, exquisite wooden houses have been built. The whole city is shrouded in a mysterious shimmer, and countless tiny elves float in the air, with a dreamlike sense of tranquility.
Sunlight can barely penetrate the dense forests here, which are the dwellings of the Night Elves. It was here that Ares met for the first time this amazing and great race. I originally thought that I would meet the Night Elves in Kalimdor, but I didn't expect that Gilneth also had the existence of Night Elves. As long as there is a suitable forest for them to live in......
Their skin is a dark purple color, they are slightly taller than humans, and their stature is almost perfectly proportioned to that of the High Elves. The face is slightly longer than that of humans and high elves, and a pair of eyes glow with a faint blue light.
Both men and women have all kinds of bizarre tattoos on their bodies. Perhaps for their agility, they wore very little clothing, just a few pieces of fur to cover those private parts, and in other places, there was not a single cloth, which was really natural......
"Priestess."
The canoe rowed into the city, and Ulla, as a guide, stood at the bow of the boat and greeted the Night Elf leader on the shore. Apparently they knew each other before. Lord Crowley also had a personal relationship with the Night Elves. No wonder he was so supportive of Gilneth opening the country. And King Jean may not have known that his own country was mixed with such a group of outsiders.
"Lord Crowley?"
"Yes."
When the canoe landed, the leader of the Night Elves stood on the shore, and without any polite words, he leaned down and observed the newly arrived werewolves. Among them, the Night Elf, known as the Priestess, quickly recognized Lord Crowley.
Ulla replied solemnly.
The wounded Gilneth soldiers, and the Gilneth soldiers who were transforming into werewolves, were quickly sent to a huge sacred site in the woods to heal. It was a tree hole under a giant old tree. The space inside is large enough to accommodate hundreds of people at the same time. Perhaps it was the Night Elves' natural spell that became a sacred place to heal the wounded.
"Who are these two?"
After directing her men to transport the wounded, the priestess turned around and asked curiously.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce it. Ares, High Lord of the Scarlet Abbey. Gianna, a high-ranking mage of Dalaran and daughter of Admiral Proudmoor. ”
After Ulla introduced Gianna, she saw a look of displeasure on the priestess's face, and then she quickly welcomed her with a polite smile.
"Belissa, my name, I am the priestess here. Welcome. Ares, Gianna. ”
The priestess replied with a smile, and Ares found her to behave elegantly, except for the fact that her outfit was a little too natural, and in other respects, she looked exactly like the High Elves. Of course, the two races were originally one family......
"Is this a place dedicated to treating injured people?"
Walking along the path woven by the roots of trees, Ares asked curiously. The mysterious garden is filled with a variety of bizarre flowers that Ares has never seen before.
"In fact, this was not originally a place to treat injured people, we came to live far from home, just to live a peaceful life, and since the first injured refugee was sent here, our mission has changed."
Belissa the priestess replied calmly and gracefully. Her steps were light, and the Night Elves who came and went cast respectful glances at her. At the moment, they were all like doctors, diligently treating the wounded Gilneys, even though it was not their duty in the first place.
"We don't know how they found it, but we can't stand idly by when someone needs help. The werewolf curse, in fact, originates from my race, and the story is so complex that I can't tell it all for a while, but I can only say that in Gilneys, only we can heal these wounded people. If we don't help them, there's no hope for them. ”
"Healing? Is it a complete cure? ”
Gianna asked.
"No, in fact, people who are bitten by werewolves will inevitably become werewolves, whether they are humans or elves, they can't avoid it. However, through our healing, these werewolves can be restored to their sanity and sanity as human beings. They will be werewolves for life, but they will be able to preserve their memories as humans. In the werewolf form, he can also control his bloodlust and desire to kill. What's more, with treatment, they can transform into human form again. It is also possible to maintain a werewolf form. ”
Belissa turned and replied solemnly.
"Can Crowley be cured?"
Ares asked with concern.
"It's hard to say, Lord Ares, my people and I will do our best to heal him, and we, like you, hope that he will get better. But I can't guarantee that he will not be 100% cured, we have had cases of failures, halfway through the treatment of the wounded, wolf relapse, died in wailing, this kind of thing also exists. ”
Belissa said, looking at Ares with those glimmering eyes, which made Ares very unaccustomed, the night elves looked at people's eyes, but could not see the eyeballs, only two light spots......
