Chapter 42: Meeting the Night Elves

The next morning, Gianna opened her eyes and found that the girl next to her was still sleeping soundly with a pillow, at this time her creamy face was flushed with the pink of her deep sleep, her slender eyelashes trembled slightly, sometimes frowning, with a little cute, a little naughty, the upper half of the sleeping girl was only wearing a close-fitting coat, the quilt had slipped down to the chest, the white and smooth shoulders were exposed, and the perfect shape of the chest was almost about to tear the corset, and it was accompanied by a slight breath.

Gianna re-covered Claudia with the quilt to cover the girl's leaking spring light, and then recalled Claudia's dishonesty when she fell asleep last night, and at the same time rubbed the girl's original soft and brilliant blonde hair funny and angry, a faint curiosity appeared in her heart:

"What happened to Varian with her last night, made her so happy and excited that she couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, I really didn't expect Varian to look serious on weekdays, and he still has the talent to coax girls."

Gianna then got up to bathe, change clothes, and had breakfast, when she came back, the girl was still sleeping soundly, seeing the quiet sleeping face of her female companion, Gianna couldn't help but have a hint of teasing thoughts, she lifted the quilt and gently patted the girl's shoulder and joked:

"Wake up, it's your turn to sleep."

The girl who heard such explosive words in a cold and hazy chest subconsciously covered her chest with one hand and her face with the other, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, let me put on and get dressed, and then go to bed." ”

Hearing the words of her female companion full of logical loopholes, Gianna couldn't help but laugh, and continued to tease: "Don't wear it, take your hand away, and let Your Majesty take a good look at your current appearance." ”

The girl first began to redden the part of her face that was not covered by her hands, and then she finally came to her senses, and removed her hand and complained: "Your Highness, if you don't make such a joke, I'm almost scared to death." ”

"That's how fast it is for you, get up quickly, I'm all packed, and I'll be gathering and leaving in a while."

Claudia also noticed that it was not too early, and began to dress quickly and get moving,

Gianna looked at the busy girl and asked, "I was so sleepy last night that I forgot to ask, why did you go for so long and come back?" ”

"Your Majesty asked me about the Night Elves." Claudia tried to hide her hair as she brushed her hair in the mirror.

How long can the Night Elves ask about it? And you're suspicious when you come back, huh?

Gianna wondered, but she didn't ask any further, for it seemed to her that the girl was having a good time, and then she ordered the Arcane Servants to help Claudia prepare food and change, and soon, the girl, who was quick and didn't like to dress up, took care of herself and had breakfast.

The two then arrived at Varian's central position, where Varian and Adjutant Arthur were planning the final route before setting off on the map, sorting out the scout's reconnaissance intelligence and destination information.

Seeing Gianna and Claudia come in, Varian greeted the two and fixed his gaze on Claudia: "Good morning, Gianna, Claudia. ”

"Good morning, Varian."

"Good morning, Your Majesty."

After asking, Claudia took the initiative to approach Varian: "Your Majesty, is there anything I can do for you?" ”

"I'll make arrangements, you can rest first, and then set off with me later." Varian looked at the girl dotingly, and he was not in front of a bunch of ministers, so he didn't need to hide himself too much.

"Yes." Claudia obediently retreated to Gianna's vicinity, she believed the man in front of her, and since he said that he would make a plan, she would just listen to the other party's orders.

Faced with the slightly ambiguous situation between the two in front of him, Arthur on the side pretended not to see anything, and Gianna, who was smart and smart, also understood that there was a breakthrough in the relationship between the two last night, and she smiled with some relief.

Soon, Varian was planning with the help of his lieutenant, and summoned the members who needed to go with him today to announce his decision.

The destination of today's meeting with the Night Elves is not far, about two hours away, and because of the fact that fighting may break out at any time on the front line, Varian does not plan to bring too many people, he only brings a team of royal knights, two scouts, and Gianna, Claudia, and Arthur to go together, and the others will carry out today's defense and combat work under the command of Marshal Wendsol today.

Today's destination is located on the hill and is one of the sacred sites of the Night Elves, the Sanctuary of Malorn, and the temple of the demigod Malorn.

Claudia had read about Malorn's deeds in the Night Books, and it was said that he was Elune's consort and roamed the continent as the guardian of nature, and was once known by the Night Elves as the most powerful creature walking on Kalimdor, and was one of the most powerful creatures in Azeroth along with the Dragon King, and it has countless honorific titles and titles such as Guardian of the Path, Holy Spirit of Shelter for All Beings, Great Ancient Guardian Saint, White Deer God, White Deer King, Guardian of Peace, God of Guidance, Guardian of Travel, Purifying Holy Spirit, and countless other honorific titles and titles.

According to the texts, Marrow was killed in a battle against Akmund 10,000 years ago against the Burning Legion, but it is said that he did not actually die, as is the case with the Wilderness Gods of the Night Elves, who return to the Emerald Dream after death, and can return to the present world after a long enough period of time and cultivation.

Thinking of this, Claudia was a little puzzled, in this world, the destination of demons after death is the Twisted Void, the destination of the Wilderness Demigod after death is the Emerald Dream Realm, and the fate of mortals after death can really only be the eternal tormented Shadow Realm?

Claudia once entered the Shadow Realm once in the Northern Rift, and she was deeply impressed by the horror and weirdness inside, so although she had the ability to enter the Shadow Realm, she never dared to enter the Shadow Realm since then.

Claudia asked the Silver Hand with the doubt in her heart: "The Silver Hand, is it true that the fate of mortals after death must be the Shadow Realm?" ”

The Silver Hand quickly replied: "If a mortal dies for no special reason, once he dies, his soul will be led into the darkness of the Shadow Realm, and he will never be able to escape, and eventually he will slowly decay in the cold prison in the depths of the Shadow Realm. ”

"Then why is the Wilderness Demigod's destination after death the Emerald Dream? Isn't there a brighter place for mortal souls after death? ”

"The Emerald Dream is a plane carved out by Freya, who connects the souls of her beloved Wilderness Gods with the Emerald Dream, so that when the Wilderness Gods die, their souls return to the Emerald Dream. As for other races, if the soul is strong enough, it can also connect its soul to some specific planes, so that the soul will not be attracted to the shadow world after death, such as the demigod named Medivan you have seen, who will connect his soul to another plane. ”

"What does it mean to be powerful? And can you get rid of the Shadow Country? Claudia is very concerned about this issue, and she doesn't want her relatives and friends to suffer the doom of the Shadow Nation.

The Silver Hand understood what she meant and explained: "Generally speaking, although heroic souls initially have the qualifications to connect with other planes from the beginning, whether they can connect depends on whether the person in charge of the plane is willing to accept it, of course, even if it is not at the hero level, there are other ways, aren't you Valkyrie created for this?" ”

"I see." Claudia replied that Valkyrie would be able to take souls from the surface of the Shadow Realm and send them to Valhalla or the Abyss of Hell, thus leaving them out of the Shadow Realm.

In any case, if I have enough strength in the future, I must not let the people around me fall into the Shadow Realm.

Claudia stopped talking to the Silver Hand and secretly made up her mind.

The two-hour journey didn't make any extra waves, after all, it was a relatively safe rear, so soon the group reached the vicinity of their destination, and a temple with a huge statue of a white deer appeared in front of them, and Tyrande, Malfurion, and a few sentries were waiting for the arrival of humans at the entrance of the temple.

With a wave of Varian's hand, the royal knights all rolled over and dismounted, while Varian, Gianna, and Claudia stepped up to meet Malfurion and Tyrande, who were coming to meet them.

Claudia, as the only familiar character on the Night side today, played the role of introducer, and she took the lead in stepping forward to salute Malfurion and Tyrande: "Long time no see, High Priest, Grand Druid, thank you for your care. ”

Malfurion bowed slightly to Claudia, and Tyrande smiled kindly at the girl, "You're welcome my sister, Elune's blessing is always with you. ”

Claudia then introduced the leaders of both sides: "Venerable High Priest and Grand Druid, this is my Lord Ureon, the King of the Stormwind Kingdom, the supreme commander of the human army, and next to me is His Highness Proudmoor, the mistress of the Theramore army. ”

"Your Majesty, Your Highness Gianna, this is High Priest Tyrande Whisper, and this is Grand Druid Malfurion Fury, they are the Supreme Leader of Kadore."

Varian spoke to Tyrande as he had done beforehand, "It's a pleasure to meet you and the High Druid, High Priest of Whisper. ”

Tyrande returned the salute in return, "I am also glad to meet you and your Highness, King Ureon, under the guidance of Elune. ”

Then the two sides entered the temple along the steps, saying that it was a temple, but in fact this temple did not have a house or anything like that, and under a huge statue of a white deer was a stone platform, on which the leaders of the two sides would meet.
