Chapter 126: The Pearl of the Palm
"Gianna, Gianna...... What happened to you? ”
In the darkness of the castle of Theramore, Gianna was holding on to the cold walls with one hand and vomiting at the sink. This scene was discovered by Egwene, and the Guardian hurried over and held Gianna. Years of experience led her to observe and discover that something was wrong with the Alliance Archmage.
"It's okay, I'm just a little tired. You know, there's so much to do here. ”
Gianna said tiredly.
"No, you're not tired. I've noticed that you've been vomiting more and more often lately. I have a hunch. ”
Egwen said, placing his hand on Gianna's belly.
"Guardian, what are you doing here?"
Gianna asked hurriedly.
"Wait."
But Egwen, despite Gianna's objections, continued to carefully feel the movement in Gianna's belly.
"You're pregnant......"
It took a long time for her to let go of her right hand from Gianna's belly and said softly.
"Are you kidding? I, how could I? Oh, it can't be ......"
But Gianna was clearly not mentally prepared.
"Ares and I haven't ...... so many times How can it be? ……”
The sudden good news caught Gianna off guard, and she wasn't even ready yet. Surprise, confusion, and confusion spread across her face.
She and Ares had always wanted to have a child, but it had been fruitless, and now, Ares had just left, and she was on her own? Gianna was a little overwhelmed by the fact that she was at a loss. She had never been a mother, not even a wife. But suddenly...... I don't know if this is good news or not? In short, unexpected emotions flooded her brain.
"Life is like that, you can't predict when he's coming, but he's coming."
Faced with Gianna's doubts, Egwen replied with a smile. She stroked Gianna's belly like a kind grandmother, continuing to feel the child's heartbeat. Yes, she has this ability, the power of magic is omnipotent.
"But he's not coming at the right time......"
Gianna said.
"No, there is a reason why Heaven wants him to be born. It's not up to you and me to do it. All we can do is take good care of him. For he is so precious, like a pure pearl on the surface of the sea of Kul Tiras, yes, I am sure he will. ”
Egwen replied with a smile.
"Don't let the tribe know......"
"You should think about how to give birth to him and take care of him. Leave the tribal affairs to me for the time being, and I'll take care of everything for you. Even though I passed on my mana to you, it was more than enough to deal with orcs and trolls. ”
"Is it a boy or a girl? What should I name him? ”
Before Gianna could object, Egwen continued happily.
"Can you sense his gender?"
Gianna asked softly.
"No, I can't. The Creator has not given us such power. We can only concentrate on welcoming the arrival of this little life. But it doesn't matter if he's a boy or a girl, we should teach him some magic. Teach him some more etiquette and knowledge. Well, knowledge is indispensable. It will make people wise and courteous. Just like his mother, full of aristocratic temperament. ”
Egwen smiled as if Gianna was her daughter and the fetus in her womb was her niece.
……
"Single-handedly, smash into Naxxramas and capture the Ember Bringer; Go deep into the bottom of the Blackstone Mountain and destroy the Dark Furnace City; Summoning the Light and defeating the Horde; Kill the Twin Emperors of Angela and the Ancient God Cthun...... Don't lie, Ares, I know you did it. ”
On the deck of the voyage ship to the Eastern Kingdoms, Valera said with a smile. After a few weeks of getting along, she and Ares had grown to get acquainted and began to joke informally.
"Hehe, no, no, no, I didn't do it alone, they spread the word about me too much, in fact, the raid on Naxxramas was an accident and a very lucky thing, at that time, there were six of us going in together. But when it came out, there were only three. And I just happened to pick up the Ember Bringer. At that time, the sword was still in its fallen form, and it was the soul in the sword that guided me to escape from the flying fortress. ”
Ares replied with a smile.
"You're so honest...... If it were someone else, he would definitely take the credit for himself, and even depict the scene as even more terrifying and difficult. ”
Sipping her drink, Valera grinned. She has never liked or been good at hiding her emotions, and she talks very freely about people she looks good with. And for people he doesn't like and hate, he directly shows a disdainful attitude. Obviously, Ares belongs to the former. There will be no credit, no boasting. More importantly, you can joke and not put on a show. Unlike some human aristocrats, who always pretend to be superior.
"Haha, there's no need to do that. Facts are facts, facts are what I said, I am a mortal, an ordinary person. It's just that luck is always a little better than others. It's like a coin, always face up, and I'm the lucky one. ”
After taking a sip of the high-strength wine, Ares returned heartily.
"By the way, I also heard that you used to be to Quel'Salas in your early years?"
Valilla asked suddenly, solemnly, and her smile stopped abruptly. Accustomed to the capricious mood of the blood elf thief, Ares often joked that Valera was a madman, even to herself.
"Yes, very early. At that time, I was a young man who was nothing. ”
Ares replied lightly.
"Quel'Salas was beautiful back then, wasn't it?"
"Well, it's beautiful. It was the most beautiful place I've ever been to in my life. It's a little unrealistically beautiful. ”
Speaking of her hometown, Valeera's expression began to become more and more serious. She seemed to be listening, and she seemed to be recalling. Hometown is so far away for her. She had even forgotten the taste of her hometown, what color was the Yongge Forest? The clear stream flows through memories...... There are also dragon eagles dancing in the sunset, and fishing boats in Yangfan Harbor...... Ares said, and Valera sank into her memory.
"But then the Scourge undead invaded her."
Ares continued.
"Well, I've heard that the army of the undead in Arthas was so overwhelming that in just a week Quel'Thalas had fallen. And, after the Scourge left, they left a trail of death in Quel'Thalas. ”
Valera said, biting her lip.
