Chapter 40: Ah Qiang

Azeroth has a double moon and the night sky is quite bright, so many of the stars are much dimmer than on Earth.

Known as the 'Sunshine Boy', the golden griffin slashed across the starry sky, leaving a flickering black shadow on the ground.

It had been nearly a day since he left the Hearthplace, and Su Chen's level of controlling the griffin had been much higher, and he finally dared to let it fly in the sky.

However, although the speed of high-altitude flight has increased a lot, the strong wind around him has become even more fierce, and Su Chen sat on the simple saddle and had to hug the griffin's neck tightly to avoid being blown down by the strong wind.

If you don't die on the battlefield, but you accidentally fall to your death from a griffin, it's too dramatic.

The strong wind was blowing, Su Chen looked down with some difficulty, the ground was pitch black, the world of Azeroth was still too backward after all, and there was almost no light at night.

Unfamiliar with the terrain, he didn't know where he was now.

Luckily, before setting off, he quietly asked Uther how to use the moon to determine the direction, and before each take-off, he carefully checked that he was assured that he would not deviate too far.

Su Chen soon noticed that the height of the griffin began to drop rapidly, but he was already used to this situation, which indicated that the griffin was hungry and needed to land down to eat and replenish his strength......

Griffons in flight eat at least twice as much as they normally eat, and in the case of carrying a heavy load, the amount of food will increase even further.

Naturally, it was impossible for Su Chen to take a pile of meat on the road, in fact, in order to reduce his weight, he only brought Frost Sorrow and an ordinary short sword and a small amount of gold coins.

He and the griffons had to take care of their own food on the way.

The Sunshine Boy landed in a wood, his massive body raising dust and barely making a sound.

With just the ability of this griffin to lift weights when it took off and landed, Su Chen knew that the griffin was definitely a top hunter!

However, due to Tyran's advice, he had to hunt himself and then feed the griffon.

"30 meters ahead left, wild boar." Maybe it's because he knows it's for food, and Zhinao Xiaohei is also extremely active, and he immediately gave a hint after landing.

Under the sorrow of frost, the wild boar soon turned into pork chops.

To Su Chen's surprise, after eating most of the wild boar, the griffin stared at the fragrant roast pork leg on the fire with bright eyes.

Su Chen had to throw it a piece of roast meat casually, but it was swallowed by it in an instant, and then stared at the fire again, its eyes were even hotter than before.

"I hope you don't get into the habit of eating barbecue, otherwise Tailan will be busy in the future......"

When the entire wild boar was solved by one man and one beast, the huge wings of the 'Sunshine Boy' flapped, and immediately carried Su Chen into the sky again.

……

The sky is slightly bright, and the sky shows a hint of fish belly white.

The griffons began to land again.

"No, didn't we just eat a deer for less than half an hour?" Su Chen was about to complain, but suddenly noticed that the scenery below seemed to be something abnormal.

"This red and white thing is...... Tower? Su Chen rubbed his eyes, and as the height dropped further, he was finally able to confirm that what was below was indeed a tower...... A beautiful mage tower!

"Is this already in Silvermoon City?" Looking at the mage tower, which definitely belonged to the High Elf style, Su Chen was extremely surprised, and finally did not waste his hard work of flying overnight.

The griffin fell quietly, and Su Chen hurriedly ran to the mage tower not far away—he was anxious to determine if the undead scourge had arrived.

This mage tower towering next to the avenue will naturally not be a place for mages to cultivate, most of them are built here as a defensive building, you must know that the mage tower is extremely powerful when used as a weapon, and it is generally built as an important war defense center in a key strategic location.

There was silence around the Mage Tower, which made Su Chen feel uneasy.

"Could it be that I'm already a step too late, and Silvermoon City has already been broken? But I don't seem to have found the rotten breath of the undead around......"

Su Chen stepped forward in surprise and knocked on the door of the mage tower.

After a long time, the door engraved with exquisite patterns finally opened, and a disheveled elf man yawned and appeared in front of Su Chen.

"Who came knocking on the door so early, and if there is a banquet today, it would be nice to stuff the invitation in...... Huh, a human?! ”

The elf's eyes widened, staring at Su Chen as if he was looking at something strange.

Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief, judging from the demeanor and tone of this elf, the undead should not have come here yet, and these high elves are still living a life of drunkenness and dreams.

"The griffin is a good thing...... It's a good feeling to crush your opponent technologically. Su Chen couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, the undead fleet set off more than ten days before him, and he hadn't even arrived first.

"Hello, I'm from Lordaeron, and I want to go to Silvermoon City, I don't know how far it is from here?" Su Chen asked with a smile.

"You're from Lordaeron? Didn't you say that there was a plague going on there? Has the plague subsided now? Perhaps out of professional habits, the elf looked at Su Chen with some vigilance, and at the same time touched behind him.

But when he realized that there was nothing behind him, the elf smiled awkwardly, and then hurriedly closed the door.

When Su Chen was surprised, the door of the mage tower opened again, and the previous elf appeared in front of him again, but this time the elf changed into a suit of armor, and he also carried a big bow behind him, looking quite heroic.

"This ...... Isn't this the Mage Tower......" Su Chen couldn't help but be stunned, no matter how the elf in front of him looked, he looked like a ranger.

"Well, this is indeed the Mage Tower, but the mage stationed here went back to Silvermoon City for a vacation the year before last, and I will help take care of this place for the time being." The elf said with some embarrassment.

Due to the extremely long lifespan, many elves' concept of time is measured in 'years'.

"Oh, I don't know what to call Your Excellency?" Su Chen couldn't help but be a little speechless in his heart, the vigilance of this Silver Moon City was really low, and the mage tower used for defense was actually a ranger who didn't understand magic at all.

Moreover, the news of these High Elves seems to be very obscure, and they are still at the stage of the initial outbreak of the Lordaeron plague!

How long has it been since these guys had been in contact with the outside world......

"Ahem...... My name is Lotherma Theron, and I'm a ranger of the Windranger unit, and the Far Wanderer camp I'm stationed in is in the nearby woods. The elf introduced himself quite formally.

"Lotherma Theron? Cuong?! Su Chen's eyes couldn't help but widen after hearing his introduction.

If you're not mistaken, in World of Warcraft, after the death of Prince Kael'thas, Silvermoon City was led by Lord Regent Lothmar Theron!

However, because its presence in the game is too low, it has been ridiculed by players as a passer-by.

"Cuong? What Ah Keung? When the elf in front of him heard this, he immediately frowned a little displeased.

"Oh...... I'm sorry, but it was a friend of mine, and his name was somewhat similar to your Excellency's, and I was surprised to say it. Su Chen said apologetically, for this future leader of Silver Moon City, he should still respect it to some extent.

"It doesn't matter, are you going to Silvermoon City, go directly along this road, and it will be about two days away."

"It will take another two days...... That's good......" Su Chen was completely relieved now, even if the army of the undead was behind him, it would take two days to start attacking Silver Moon City, and he had enough time to go to the Sun Well to get well water.
