Chapter 62: Azeroth National Geographic (Part I)
A carriage pulled by chocobos drove out of the Wraith Lands and into the territory of Eastern Lordaeron (Eastern Plaguelands).
"The coachman" was a subordinate of Hadurun Mingyi...... Haduron was unusually promoted to Captain Ranger for his achievements in the Ghost Lands and Quellins, and he also has several loyal subordinates!
Passing through the sentry of the human sentinels, the carriage drove slowly through the emerald green land of Eastern Lordaeron.
"We're going to Stratholme first, and we'll be there about tonight!" Haduron explained to Karin, "We're going to change to human horses in Stratholme, after all, there won't be a chocobo station further south!" ”
Carlin nodded, looking like he was going to take a short detour.
Through the window of the carriage, you can look out at the emerald green scenery...... Thinking that in a few decades, this place would be a scorched earth corroded by the undead, Carlin couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
When night fell, the carriage stopped at the inn of Stratholme.
"I'll have to get a human dealer to buy a few docile horses, and a guide by the way...... After all, I've only been here in the south, and I don't know the way south! The Ranger said, "Mr. Carlin, you can walk around the city of Stratholme, you must be the first time you have come to the city of humans...... We're leaving tomorrow morning! ”
With that, Haduron took his subordinates and headed to the bazaar in Stratholme.
Carlin had been wandering around for half an hour when something suddenly came to mind.
In Stratholme, he seems to have acquaintances.
When I traveled to Northrend half a year ago, I met the Lygooli caravan, whose shop seemed to be in Stratholme, and they had left an address for themselves at the time.
Finding the note in his bag, Carlin followed the address described on it and asked a few passers-by to find the shop.
There were a few gangster-looking humans standing at the door of the shop, and they looked at Karin's seemingly expensive robes and hurriedly approached; But when he saw the staff in Carlin's hand, he retreated in amusement.
Even these thugs at the bottom of society know that a mage, no matter what level, is something they can't afford to mess with!
Carlin ignored them, and walked into the shop:
"Excuse me, is Captain Lyguli here?"
"No, he's shipping a shipment to Kul Tiras, please come ......back in two months," a lazy voice sounded from behind the counter.
"yes, that's unlucky...... But it's been a long time since we've seen us, Nathanos, haven't we? Carlin said with a smile.
"Wait...... It's Mr. Carlin! The young longbowman, Nathanos-Mares, jumped up from his chaise longue and shouted excitedly.
"It's been a long time, Mr. Carlin, and I'm glad to see you...... Wait, I'm going to call the others! Nathanos first came to Karin's side, then rushed out again.
Despite Captain Lygooli's absence, there are still many familiar figures in the shop: such as the fat dwarf Kingsley, the goblin first mate Hana, and the taciturn musketeer Buck......
After a few pleasantries, Carlin took out a few magic gems as a greeting gift...... These things are not uncommon in Quel'Thalas, but they have some value in Stratholme!
Before leaving, Carlin stopped Nathanos:
"Didn't you always want to be a Ranger, but it just so happened that this time I met a Ranger Lord, and it was an easy-going Ranger Lord...... If you're really interested in the Way of the Ranger, head to Quellins and find Lord Hawksbier, and say you're my friend! ”
As she spoke, Carlin wrote a letter of introduction to Nathanos.
And Nathanos was so excited that he could hardly express it!
……
Declining the caravan's gracious invitation, Carlin stayed for a short time before returning to the inn...... There is still a long way to go on the journey.
The next morning, they were on their way.
Haduron brought in a young guide, but he seemed quite clever.
"Elven adults, the nearest route to Dalaran...... Drive south along the King's Road to Talon County, then follow the junction west across the Sodolil River to Andorjar, and then cross the Ice Cover to the south to enter the territory of Dalaran! ”
Led by their guides, the elves hit the road.
Haduron brought with him a batch of horses, enough for each party to get two horses, and they switched to ride to maintain speed...... However, several elves had never ridden this kind of human mount, and they were very unfamiliar, but their speed slowed down.
Carlin is undoubtedly the worst rider of all the people here...... The reality is not like in the game, where you learn a beginner riding technique, and all mounts with a 60% speed bonus can be swapped!
In fact, in his opinion, chocobos are much more comfortable and easy to ride than these horses!
He was not the only one who held this view, and Haduron also commented simply and rudely: "How did those humans come up with the idea of taming such a rude beast into a mount? ”
Just stumbled and walked for a few days towards the south.
When walking on the road, when you meet other passers-by, you will usually take the initiative to give way to them, and at the same time cast a curious and fearful gaze...... Not only because of their High Elf faces, but also because of the costumes of rangers and mages.
In several areas where the guide had deliberately warned that there were likely to be thieves and robbers, they did not notice a single figure.
It seems that these thieves and robbers of Lordaeron are not fools either...... Carlin also wanted to find a target to practice, his latest learning of the Plastic Energy Three-Ring Spells Flame Blast and Frost Nova!
Three days later, the group arrived in Taloung.
"Find a tavern for a few drinks and a break?" Haduron suggested that the camping life along the way was indeed a bit tiring.
"I have no objection!" Carlin said.
The group stopped and walked into a somewhat humble tavern.
The human customers inside immediately turned their eyes to these relatively rare foreign visitors.
However, under the influence of alcohol, their curiosity did not last long...... The bartender hurriedly rushed over and greeted these guests!
Those drunks, let's talk together!
"His Majesty Terenus is a good king, and he takes good care of us, even for us at the lowest level!"
"yes, I'm proud to be a Lordaeron!"
"I hope that His Royal Highness Arthas, like His Majesty the King, will grow up to be a good king!"
"Why don't you have a toast to His Highness Arthas?"
Carlin was amused, he raised his glass, and shouted, "Then let's toast to His Highness Arthas, I wish His Highness good health, and will not be accompanied by disease and plague in his life!" ”
The drunks looked at the elven mage on the side, and they understood that it was a blessing from Quel'Thalas.
"Cheers to His Highness Arthas, I wish His Highness good health and will not be accompanied by disease and plague in his life!"
They drank heartily.
