CHAPTER XXIV

In the hall of the temple, Claudia faced Tyrande's question, and lightly opened her cherry red lips:

"We are humans, a race living in the Eastern Kingdoms, and the undead summoned the Burning Legion after destroying the three kingdoms of the northern part of our alliance. A prophet told us that there was a way to defeat the undead and the Burning Legion on the western continent, so some of the surviving humans of the Northern Kingdom came to this continent in search of salvation. As for what you call the green-skinned orcs---"

The maiden paused a little and organized her words, and continued in front of Tyrande and Malfurion:

"Orcs were not originally inhabitants of our world, they invaded our human homeland twenty years ago, and fought a long war with us humans, in fact, none of us thought that we would cooperate with orcs one day before coming to the Western Continent."

"Then why do you help each other?" Tyrandeqi said, and Malfurion's gaze on the side also showed an inquiring meaning.

"The Prophet has found the leaders of our two races and told us that the Burning Legion is planning to attack the heart of this world, and that if the demons succeed, the whole world will be destroyed, and we can only defeat the demons if we unite."

"Sure enough, Akmund's target is Nodashir." Malfurion, with green beards, and Tyrande looked at each other, and with a worried look on their faces, they explained, "Your prophet speaks of the heart of the world as Nodashir, the tree of life of this world, and the sacred tree of our Cadore. ”

After hearing this, Claudia asked tentatively, "In that case, can you form an alliance with us humans and tribes and defend Nodashir?" ”

Malfurion wanted to speak again, but Tyrande frowned and objected: "The orcs killed Cenarius, and I will not cooperate with the orcs." ”

There was a brief silence in the room, after which Claudia tried to justify:

"If you're talking about the demigod, I know a little bit about it, the orcs killed the demigod because a tribal leader drank the blood of a great demon named Manolos, and their entire clan was enslaved and controlled by the archdemon. But by this time Manolos had been slain by our coalition forces, and the clan had regained its freedom. ”

Malfurion, who was on the side, suddenly spoke: "Wait, you actually killed Manolos the Destroyer?" How many of you went? ”

"There were less than a hundred, but in the end it was nine people who took part in the siege of Manolos, and the others were stronger than me." The girl replied truthfully.

"Honey." Malfurion turned his head to look at Tyrande: "Since the outsiders have this kind of strength, I think we can consider forming an alliance with them for the time being." ”

"We'll talk about that later." Tyrande still didn't let go, but his gaze at the girl had become more friendly: "I still have questions about you humans, you are a priest among your humans, can you tell me about your church over there?" ”

"We humans are a race that believes in the light, but we don't have a specific god, and the job of the members of the church is not to worship the gods but to teach the virtues of the light to the common people."

Tyrande then asked a few more questions about the teachings of the Light, and Claudia answered and asked about her most important concerns: "Lord Tyrande, although I am very grateful that you saved me, can you let me go back to my companions now, and if you need me to repay me in the future, you can always ask." ”

"It is my duty to help living beings from evil, and you need not be polite. Now that you're free, I'll have your horses and weapons back to you in a moment, but --- Tyrande changed his mind "As far as I know, the vast forests and roads leading to the human and orc camps in the Grey Valley have fallen into the hands of demons, and it's dangerous for you to move alone, so why don't I help you find a guide or make a detour to Mount Hyjal with our army in a few days?" ”

Claudia quickly made her choice: "If you can, help me find a guide, my companion must be in a hurry after I have been missing for so many days." ”

After Tyrande agreed, Claudia left, and looking at the departing girl, Malfurion turned to her partner and asked, "Honey, why didn't you agree to cooperate with them?" Judging from the information from the sentinels, the current human orc alliance can be nearly 20,000 people, and there are many strong people, you and I both know how powerful it is to defeat Manolos, and if the alliance joins, our chances of victory can be improved a lot. ”

"And the Mentor hasn't really left us, and even if he had known about it, I think he would have agreed to accept the coalition for Nodashir's sake."

Tyrande shook his head: "Humans are okay, their roots are far away in the Eastern Continent, and the light they believe in is also related to the goddess, so they are our potential allies. But I always have a sense of foreboding about orcs, let me think again, maybe the goddess can show me the way. ”

Malfurion nodded, then asked another question, "What is Illidan doing?" I'm always a little worried about him. ”

Speaking of Illidan, Tyrande also fell into thought: "He ran to tell me about something last night, he had a plan to kill Tikdios who was polluting the forest in Fywood. ”

Malfurion's brows furrowed: "What the hell is he up to now?" Did he talk about his detailed plans? ”

Tyrande shook his head: "He only said that he planned to start in two days, let's just wait for his good news." ”

Malfurion's face was immediately extremely displeased, and he said categorically: "I have to find someone to watch him, he is too dangerous, and I have had enough of his unspeakable plans." ”

"Don't do that, Malfurion, he's your brother, you should trust him."

Malfurion's attitude was extremely resolute: "I know him too well, of course I believe that he can kill Tikdios, but what will be the price?" All the creatures of Felwood Forest are dead light? Or was there a major earthquake in the center of Felwood Forest? He has always been a man who will stop at nothing in order to succeed. ”

Tyrande couldn't be persuaded again, and the two moved on to something else.

Not to mention the priestess and the Grand Druid, not long after Claudia returned to the room, someone sent her weapons and armor back, the broken armor had been repaired, and the maiden and the Silver Hand exchanged with the Silver Hand about the progress of the Titan's learning and the separation of what had happened these days, and when it came to facing Elune last night, the maiden asked:

"Silver Hand, do you know Elune, how she was able to recognize me as the heir of Tyr by the Word of the Titans alone?"

"I can't tell who Elune is based on your description, but the power of the true god is unimaginable, and perhaps she can see your past and future directly. As for the necklace you get, it contains a powerful life source inside, which is good for your body and even your soul after wearing it for a long time. ”

"I see, and the goddess mentioned it last night, so that I don't be blinded by the light?"

The Silver Hand quickly replied, "Don't worry, you don't need to worry about this until you study the Book of Order, let's go back to the Titan Word, the next word you need to learn is life." ”

Then the Silver Hand sent Claudia's mind a pronunciation of the word, and the girl memorized it and planned to find time to practice it.

Tyrande was very efficient, and in the afternoon he informed Claudia that he had found the guide, who would wait for the girl in the hunter's hall near the temple early the next morning, holding Tyrande's token, and Claudia also received a letter from Tyrande to the leader of the Alliance.

Claudia packed her belongings for the rest of the day, rested for the night, and said goodbye to Draz, and proceeded to the temple gate, where the warrioresses had been instructed by Tyrande to let Claudia go, and enthusiastically pointed the maiden in the direction of the Hunter's Hall.

Before Claudia could reach the Hunter's Hall, she was stopped by a strange Night Elf, a tall and strong elf, with a naked upper body engraved with green magic patterns, black strips of cloth blocking his eyes, and a pair of huge alien moon blades on his back, which glowed with dark green light.

This pair of weapons is an artifact.

In addition, this elf is different from other elves, why does he have a strong demonic smell on him?

Claudia wondered, and the Night Elves spoke first, "I'm Illidan, and Tyrande asked me to escort you to the human camp at the foot of Mount Hyjal. ”

This is the guide Tyrande found for me? Do the Night Elves have the luxury of sending a warrior of this caliber to me as a guide?

Illidan seemed to see Claudia's confusion and showed a token, Claudia believed Tyrande's token after seeing him, but she still asked a little strangely, "I'm sorry, but what's going on with your eyes?" ”

Illidan explained disapprerovingly, "Don't worry, even though I'm blind, I can see everything around me. ”

On the way out of the Night Elf city, many of the Night Elves looked at the duo with panicked faces, and Claudia initially thought that the elves were afraid of her as an outsider, but when it came to the sentry-guarded sentry, she realized that she was wrong.

A huntress stopped the two of them, and first bowed to Claudia: "Hello, priestess, I am Daria, Lord Tyrande once told me that you were leaving today, but the person next to you cannot be with you, he is an extremely dangerous person." ”

Claudia was puzzled when Illidan stepped forward and showed the seal of Tyrande: "It was the High Priest who ordered me to be her guide and send her to the foot of Mount Hyjal. ”

Daria took the seal and looked at it several times, before finally giving the order to let him go, and when she was about to part, she told the maiden: "Be careful of Illidan, though the High Priest has always been merciful to him, but the crimes he has committed seem to me are enough to kill him a hundred times." ”

Claudia heard the huntress and looked up as she walked and asked Illidan, "What did you do, and why is everyone afraid of you?" ”

Illidan shrugged his shoulders and showed a disapproving expression, "As you can see, in order to understand and destroy demons, I use the same evil energy as demons, and this is the root cause. ”

Claudia suddenly realized that this kind of person who uses demonic power is like a rat crossing the street even in human society, let alone in the old-fashioned night elf society, according to Dracel, in the eyes of the night elves, even studying magic is a heinous crime.

Although she is a paladin, Claudia has the experience of her previous life after all, so she does not reject warlocks and people who use demonic powers, and the demon hunter in front of her has the mark of Tyrande after all, and she should also be able to be trusted, she comforted Illidan with some sympathy: "There is no good or evil in power, believe me, as long as you have a bright heart, you will be accepted by your compatriots sooner or later." ”

Illidan stopped abruptly after hearing this, and after a moment he sighed with mixed emotions, "Thank you, priestess, this is the first time I've heard such words, thank you very much." ”

Claudia smiled at him with a friendly smile, "You're welcome, I'll have to trouble you a little more this time." ”

Some time after the two of them set off, a panting hunter ran up to Daria and asked eagerly, "Did the Illidan Sutra pass through here?" ”

"He's been gone for a while, and he's taken the human priestess with him. ”

Hunter stomped his foot angrily: "He's an impostor, hurry up and inform the Great Druid!" ”
