As the main town of the Stormgard Kingdom, the Refuge Canyon is the backing of Fort Riptide in the middle of the Arathi Plateau, where grain is abundant, and not far from the Refuge Canyon is the most grain-rich town in the Arathi Heights.

The gloomy thunderstorm has not stopped since it appeared a few days ago.

Laurena sat in a chair in a white and yellow-trimmed priest's robe, and there were only two people in the makeshift hotel with umbrellas, one of her bodyguards, Miss Gera of Stormwind, and herself.

Her demeanor was not natural, and it was not an easy task to send Lordaeron this time, but she was more worried about another thing than Lordaeron, that is, the kingdom of Stormgard had died, and it was rumored that the king's son had killed him.

It's hard to imagine what kind of torment Laurena suffers in her heart, after all, as the princess of the kingdom of Stormgard, she also has the right to inherit this kingdom that exists in name only.

"Forgive me, I'm already a nun, brother." She thought to herself.

In a short time, Laurena had finished reading the letter on the table: "Recently, a line of forest trolls and ogres in the Arathi Highlands has captured the orc's farm, and is active in the Arathi Highlands. ”

"It's worth noting that instead of attacking humans, the forest trolls traded with farmers and goblins with their furs, and began enslaving humans to farm for the trolls."

She placed the letter on the table and looked out of the Vault Canyon, but it was just a continuous rain, or a curtain of water that the cavalry of the Vault Canyon had trained to pull out in the rain: "We must get out of Riptide Fort as soon as possible, the longer we stay here, the more likely it will be that something will happen." ”

Miss Jera, who was beside her, nodded. Miss Gera is a brilliant paladin in the Stormwind Kingdom, and although she was born and raised in a farmstead in the Wild West, it doesn't prevent her from knowing anything about the sordid between the nobles: "Let's leave as soon as possible, according to etiquette, we must at least go to Riptide Castle to note Prince Garson who has passed through Riptide Castle." ”

Laurena was a little depressed.

"Do you know how long Riptide Castle has been around? Gera? ”

Gera was slightly stunned, she was not very familiar with history, but rumored, it seems that Fort Torrent was the first capital city established by mankind, and it was also the first monument to the establishment of civilization by mankind. The city was founded after six years of unification of the human tribes by the Emperor Arathso, and Fort Rapids was a symbol of human splendor for a long time.

"It's been thousands of years." Gera said that she knew what Laurena was thinking, after all, she was also the woman who had the inheritance of the city, but in order to bring her to her senses, Gera added, "But Prince Garin should be on the throne in a few months." ”

"In a deserted, stone-built capital?" Laurena couldn't help but say. Speaking of this, her eyes couldn't help but redden: "I'm sorry, Riptide Castle is a place that everyone has forgotten, no matter how glorious its history has been, no matter how glorious its achievements have been. ”

"Now it's just a city made of stone inhabited by ogres and humans."

Gera stood up and said, "Laurina, you have sworn to serve the Light. ”

Laurena stopped crying quietly and wiped the tears from her face with her hands. The Church of the Light has always been above the king, and although it will not interfere in the politics of the kingdom, its authority is still not to be underestimated, not to mention that since the appearance of the Cathedral of the Light, no one has dared to betray the Light.

"With just one Gera, I can't resist my brother's plot." She thought.

At this moment, Laurena looked into the canyon of refuge, the city in which it was very small, and several makeshift wooden houses were placed in the canyon, all of whom were residents of Fort Riptide, and were forced to run out because the ogre had run to live in Fort Riptide.

In the rain, Laurina sees a knight, technically a down-and-out knight.

At this moment, the bell of Riptide Fort rang, and this crisp sound could clearly be heard even in the refuge canyon that was far away from Riptide Fort. This bell tower indicates that it is already dusk.

"It's a civilian knight." Miss Gera looked at the human's outfit and made a judgment.

"No, it should be a down-and-out noble knight." Laurena glanced at the man and couldn't help but say, "Look at the black cloth he is carrying behind his back, which emits a faint light, which is obviously a magic item, and the necklace on his body exudes strong fire element energy." ”

"It's not just that, but it's strange that he's just wearing an ordinary and somewhat worn piece of armor, so it's easy to judge that this is a down-and-out noble knight who has brought all his possessions out."

"Do you want to go out on an adventure? The Light tells us that actions that are gambling in nature will lead to the most evil results. Jayla shook her head.

Laurena didn't agree, because since she was born, she had gambled one after another, just to survive, and now, it was time for her to gamble again.

………………

Not to mention that the continuous heavy rain made Locke feel terrible, and when he came to the Shelter Canyon, he was extorted some money by the guards, which made Locke even more angry.

"Refuge Canyon, which backs Fort Riptide and has a population of nearly ten thousand, is housed with sprawling canyons and farms, and simple city operations with soldiers. It's not so much a town as an offensive castle. However, the heavy military burden made the city's original trade function completely abandoned. ”

Locke thought back to the information he had collected earlier, and let out a sigh of relief, although he had done his homework to the human world, when he came to the Canyon of Refuge, he still looked out of place.

"Excuse me, are you a down-and-out knight? Interested in getting a job? A crisp voice sounded in his ears, causing Locke to turn his head to look.

I only saw a young Miss Paladin in front of her, and the coat of arms on her chest was an image of a lion painted on a blue background, which was the pattern of the Storm Kingdom.

He hesitated slightly, but nodded, after all, in addition to collecting information on the Refuge Canyon and Riptide Castle, he also had one more thing, and that was to completely integrate into the human world, and it seemed that being a guard for others could also do these things.
