Everyone's eyes were attracted by the evil green lightning that suddenly appeared in the sky in the distance, and one by one green meteors were falling.

"I don't know which creatures are fighting with the Burning Legion again, but it shouldn't be our or the Horde's line of defense." Gianna worried.

Varian's expression also became grim: "I will ask the messenger to inform Marshal Windsor to be on guard, Gianna, you also go back first, and let the mages of Kenrito be ready to support at any time." ”

Gianna nodded in agreement and prepared to leave, and Claudia also said goodbye to Varian before leaving: "Your Majesty, if you need me, send someone to inform me at any time, and I can come over immediately." ”

Varian looked at the blonde girl who was also a little worried, her grim face softened a lot and comforted: "There may not be a fight, you just came back yesterday, just rest today." ”

The three then separated, and on the way back, Claudia learned from Gianna about the battle she had been fighting in the days since she left.

After the girl was rescued by the Night Elves, the coalition army soon had a violent collision with the main force of the Scourge Legion who arrived, and fell into a disadvantage in the battle and was forced to retreat.

A few days later, Theramore's follow-up of more than 4,000 soldiers and the mages reinforced by Kenrito arrived, and the armies of the Alliance and the Horde were stationed separately from then on, but they would still help each other, and the offensive of the Burning Legion and the Scourge Legion became stronger and stronger, but fortunately, there were other lives in the forest scattered the firepower of the other side, so they could still hold on.

Until a battle a week ago, the leader of the demons personally intervened, and under one blow, the commander of the Theramore army on the battlefield, the heroic warrior Duke Reinhardt and many of his own soldiers were directly killed by several red lightning bolts, Theramore lost more than 1,000 soldiers in the battle and was forced to retreat, and the reinforcements sent by the tribe also lost a lot, and finally the alliance retreated to the current camping position for repairs, and this week the vicinity of the alliance camp has been relatively calm.

From Gianna's story, Claudia could feel the tragedy of the battle, and finally asked, "Then when did Your Majesty come?" ”

"It's only been a few days since Varian came, Stormwind's reinforcements landed directly on the northern coast of Azhara, after hearing about the death and rout of Duke Reinhardt on my side, Varian brought the Royal Knights and Royal Guards to help me straighten out the morale of the army, fortunately he came, I'm really not good at handling military affairs."

"And how about the front line now?"

Gianna explained: "The front line is temporarily formed by Marshal Wendsol led a part of the army to form a defensive line, and then there is the camp of the tribe, during this time the undead and demons seem to be dragged down by other lives, so the battle is not fierce, and the last two days have been calm. ”

"Hmm." The girl answered, then bowed her head.

After a while, Gianna noticed that something was wrong with the girl and asked, "Claudia, what's wrong with you?" ”

Claudia raised her head, already determined: "Your Highness, I want to go back in the afternoon." ”

"Huh? Have you figured it out about Varian? Gianna wondered, judging from Claudia's appearance last night, it was impossible to figure it out so quickly, right?

"I don't know what my feelings are for him." The girl was confused again, "But now the situation is so critical, many people are desperate on the front line, how can I hide behind and do nothing because of my little emotions, I have to at least help His Majesty work." ”

"You're right." Gianna looked at Claudia with a faint appreciation, "You can get back to work after packing up your things, about Varian, you can try my advice, try to like Varian, so you can know how you really feel about him." ”

"I've thought about it just now, in fact, my own feelings don't matter, if His Majesty really needs me, I just promise." Claudia whispered.

Gianna misunderstood the girl's concerns and reassured her, "Trust me, last night was an accident, Varian would never bully. ”

"I believe in Your Majesty." Claudia nodded, her worries were not what Gianna said, in addition to the kindness she owed the king to repay, she also cherished the care and warmth that the king brought her.

"It's your own feelings that matter, you can try to like him when you get back, and come to my side in the evening if you're not busy." The Archmage encouraged.

"Thank you, Your Highness, I'll try."

After returning to the camp, Shirley had retrieved Claudia's luggage and was engrossed in a table with several potions, which had been consumed a lot during the fierce battle of the previous days, so after the herbs were supplied, Shirley had to spend several hours a day to prepare some potions.

Claudia checked her luggage before leaving, trying to see if anything was missing, when she suddenly remembered something and asked Shirley, "Did you find that bracelet?" ”

As soon as Shirley finished preparing a bottle of potion and put it on the shelf, wiped her sweat with a handkerchief, and showed Claudia her left hand, a green opal bracelet appeared, and the elf girl said apologetically: "I found it, it was chaotic at the time, and I didn't remember to return it to me until the afternoon the next day after someone else got it." ”

"That's good."

Claudia continued to examine her belongings, eventually discovering the oval-shaped yellow crystal she had exchanged for a magical two-handed sword from the orc chief shaman.

The girl touched the crystal with her hand, and the moment she touched the crystal, her mind instantly calmed down, her attention became more concentrated, and her thinking became clearer.

What is it about this crystal that attracts me so much?

With doubts, Claudia injected the holy light, and the holy light was immediately absorbed by the crystal, and her thoughts were transmitted faster and more accurately, and in an instant, dozens of spell models appeared in her mind.

Well, it looks like it can at least be used as a learning accelerator, and the cast time should be a little shorter.

Claudia understands the first function of the crystal, which is very important for scholars and spellcasters to speed up their thinking, and as for shortening the cast time, it will not be useful for her for a short time. She was a paladin after all, and this crystal was about the same size as a smaller egg, so it was impossible for her to hold the crystal in one hand all the time when she was fighting, and the size of the crystal was too big to make jewelry, and she didn't know who the jeweler was.

Claudia injected a lot of holy light into this crystal, and then held this crystal and closed her eyes to think about the life in the Titan Sacred Word that the silver hand had taught her, and a picture of the night elves and nature in Astrana emerged, with the assistance of this crystal, her thinking ran at high speed, and more and more insights appeared, but soon after, Claudia still encountered a bottleneck, but this is by no means a limitation of thinking, but it needs a certain opportunity, or more understanding of life.

After Claudia opened her eyes, she found that Gianna had noticed the crystal in her hand and asked curiously, "What is this?" ”

Claudia handed the yellow crystal to Gianna: "I got it from the orc shaman with a magic two-handed sword, according to him, this crystal was originally a sacred relic of the light race, but I tried it, and it seems that the effect is only to increase the speed of thinking and slightly increase the speed of spell casting." ”

"It's so calm, all distractions are gone." This was Gianna's first reaction after receiving the crystal, and then the archmage tried the power of the arcane, only to find that the crystal did not react much, and finally after Claudia injected the holy light, Gianna also experienced the feeling of thinking at high speed.

Mages and paladins are different, for mages knowledge is power, so this feeling is undoubtedly a huge attraction to Gianna, after a while, she is a little reluctant to put down the crystal: "It's a pity, only the holy light can trigger this effect, I have solved several problems in the time just now." ”

"Your Highness, why don't you put this crystal here first?" Seeing what Gianna liked, Claudia hesitated.

"Thank you but you don't need it," Gianna immediately refused. "I have just felt the limit of my thinking, I am afraid that this crystal can only have such a good effect if it is used every once in a while, and when you really want to use it, I will let you bring the crystal to help."

"Hmm." Claudia answered, and then the girl packed up her other things for a while, and after lunch with Gianna at noon, she heard the sound of fireworks in the sky, and several purple magical fireworks were blooming in the sky.

Gianna's expression immediately became serious, and she said to Claudia urgently: "Urgent military situation, Varian is gathering everyone to prepare for battle, it must be assembled within a quarter of an hour, I will go to Kenrito first, you have to hurry up and go to Your Majesty's side yourself." ”

"Understood."

Claudia hurriedly replied, and after Gianna's teleportation technique disappeared, Claudia also picked up the silver hand and rode on the war horse and galloped quickly towards the Chinese military camp tent under the golden lion.

When Claudia arrived at the main tent, she found a guard at the door with a pocket watch, and many officers had arrived and separated from each other, and Claudia then stood next to Devon and Arthur according to her rank and duty.

Varian is wearing a full body uniform, standing in the middle with a majestic and murderous face, his body has been covered with a thick layer of plate armor, and the fine Mithril chain mail under the plate armor is exposed in the parts that cannot be covered by the plate armor, the Mithril chain mail is not only quite light in weight but also can block magic damage very effectively, which can greatly ensure the safety of the warrior, but the price is too expensive, that is, Varian is a king and is willing to spend money on equipment to get it.
