Chapter 8: The Past of the Upper Elves
In the bleak lands, in the sky of the Kodo Beast Graveyard, Drunken Wind is sitting on the back of a can with Bane Bloodhoof. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Because it was the first time Bane came to the sky, he always stretched his neck and stared at the ground along the way, sometimes twisting around, and Drunken Wind could only hug Bane tightly on the one hand, and distract Bane by telling stories on the other hand.
"Bane, have you ever seen the Night Elves?"
"Uh, Uncle Drunkenwind, are you talking about those purple-skinned ones?"
Drunken Wind nodded.
"I met once, when I was very young, in the Stonetalon Mountains, and my father had something to discuss with them. My father wouldn't let me listen, so I looked at it from afar. ”
"So, have you ever met Naga?"
"I haven't seen it." Still in the midst of his curiosity, Bane was interested in things he hadn't been able to get his hands on.
Successfully attracting the attention of the little one, Drunken Wind begins the "storytelling" mode.
"Bane, you know what, Naga don't have feet, their lower bodies look like fish. So they are very good in the water, but it is more inconvenient to move after they go ashore. They'll drive the fish-people to work for themselves, have you ever seen the fish-people? ”
"I've seen it, it's those fish that can whine, lalala, and have long legs!"
"Yes, actually, Naga and the Night Elves are inextricably linked. Your shaman must have told you the story of the 10,000-year-old battle, right? ”
"Yes! The story of the big heroes fighting the demons! ”
"Do you know how the demons came to our world?"
"Nobody told me this."
"Bane, feel the power." Drunken Wind stretched out his left hand and used a little bit of the skill of the Fabric Warrior Monk - this is not something Drunken Wind is good at, but at least he knows a little - weaving a cloud of mist, "Isn't this feeling very comfortable?" ”
Bane Bloodhoof stretched out his hand, felt the green mass of unidentified substance, and thought about it carefully, "It's very comfortable, like Mother Earth, no, like the spring breeze and drizzle nourishing the earth!" ”
"Not bad, not bad." The drunken wind dissipated the mist, his left hand clenched into a fist, and after he stretched it out, a blue rune lay in the palm of his left hand, "So, what about this?" ”
Bane touched the rune lightly and quickly retracted his hand: "Cold, it's not right, it should be said to be cold, lifeless, I'm uncomfortable." ”
"It's arcane power, I'm not a mage, so that's the limit of what I can demonstrate, but you know, it's very powerful, but it's hard to control. Ten thousand years ago, the Night Elves used this power to defeat the trolls and establish their own empire. At the time, the source of this power was the Well of Eternity. ”
"The Well of Eternity contains a tremendous amount of energy that has aroused the prying eyes of the demons of the Twisted Void, and the upper echelons of the Night Elves, the most skilled in the use of arcane arts, have colluded with the demons because they are eager for greater power. They opened the portal for the demons and brought them into the world. ”
"Those upper elves are so hateful!" Bane clenched his fists in anger.
"The pandas had already sensed the threat and warned the elves, but the elves were unwilling to give up their power. So, the panda people gave them a gift, the last gift. ”
"Gifts?" Bane scratched his head, "Why do you want to give a gift?" ”
"This is a wise warning. The pandaren poured out their entire clan and weaved an ornate robe with arcane art. The robe was so beautiful and noble that all those who were lucky enough to see it couldn't help but admire it. ”
As the aria of the drunken wind unfolds, Bane is immersed in the story, trying to imagine what the robes will look like.
"Queen Eshara was so overjoyed when she received the robe that she treasured it in a box and prepared many gifts in return, including a beautiful crown."
"But the panda envoy was very disappointed, and even though he received a valuable gift in return, he looked sullen and left quickly."
"At a later celebration, Queen Azhara took out the dress containing the robe and intended to wear it to the ceremony, but the box was opened, and the robe inside was missing! Guess where the robes went? ”
"Was it stolen? No, how could the Queen's precious collection be stolen. Or was it dropped? It shouldn't be......" Bain was puzzled.
"Dissipated." Drunken Wind ended the output of energy, and the rune in the palm of his left hand disappeared, "Just like this, it dissipated." ”
"Bane, can you understand the meaning of the panda people at that time?"
Bane was confused.
"All the power is just a dream. Power is most useful only when it is most needed, and the excessive pursuit of power is nothing more than a castle in the air. I think your father must have taught you to remember your own people and not to lose yourself in the pursuit of power, right? ”
"Finally, these Naga are the former upper elves."
Seeing Bane fall into deep thought, Zuifeng also sighed a little - he and Zhou Zhuo have worked together for too long, and it seems that he has also contracted the problem of liking preaching, well, that's it.

By the time Bane had recovered from the reflections evoked by the story, it was already dark and the two of them had to get off the cans and take a rest.
Drunken Wind expertly lit up the fire and began to roast the hind legs of a wild boar that had been prepared.
"Uncle Drunken Wind, after I watched the battle between you and my father, I always thought that you were a strong warrior, I really didn't expect that you still have such a wise side, you are really a wise man!"
Looking at Bane's adoring little eyes, Drunken Wind laughed: "Actually, I prefer to be a chef compared to a wise man!" Even if my intelligence and combat skills are combined, they are not even one-tenth of my cooking skills! ”
Bane's face was full of disbelief: "I'm thirteen years old, not a child anymore!" ”
"I kid you not!" As he spoke, Drunken Wind sprinkled a handful of spices on the hind legs of the golden boar that had been roasted, "Come, Bane, taste this!" Tranquility can make you sleep well, cumin makes you have a good dream~"
At this time, Bane was completely immersed in the wonderful barbecue, the coolness of the Ningshenhua touched the greasy hind legs of the wild boar, and the just right heat made the barbecue crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, biting into the mouth, not only did not have the roughness of the wild boar, but was full of vitality, sweeping away Bane's tiredness. The cumin was the finishing touch, the rich aroma spreading in his mouth, hitting Bane's tongue - Bain was sure he had never eaten such a delicious barbecue, never!

According to Brian Copperbeard's Miscellaneous Azeroth, the great Minotaur chief Bane Bloodhoof's favorite delicacy was roasted wild boar with tranquil cumin.
