Where to go from here5

When I regained my senses, I was already in the intensive care unit, which is a hospital bed in a real house, maybe my body did not reach such a place, but the wounded had been treated, so I became the last person to lie on the hospital bed.

As I woke up, Mavi, who was the closest to me and was also treating me, retreated because of the others who came up. Yes, I woke up and immediately got everyone's attention, and they all gathered around. I looked around and made sure it was still this time, not long after the evening, but looking at everyone's tired look made me realize that this might not be the day I was unconscious. Especially since I saw that some of the Night Elf material had already been delivered here, I was even more convinced of this...

"I think I was just in a coma for a day at most. ”

"All day. Gianna explained, noticing her backing down as she said this..."It's all due to Mavi, and our paladin physician thinks you'll be asleep longer. ”

I paid attention to Mavi again, and as expected, she was as calm as ever... And I can only nod my head to her for such a performance, yes, sometimes after experiencing something, I feel that a nod in response in the crowd is the best thanks. I don't need to explain anything at all... And in the context of where we are now, there are more important things to deal with

"I think you weren't just here to watch my condition while I was sleeping. It's time to discuss where we go from here. ”

"We discussed it, but to be honest, we didn't have any good opinions about rescuing the hostages. Gianna looked at everyone and nodded, and stepped up to the side to grab Mavi, who wanted to leave. We're discussing something now, and as a Night Elf, she naturally wants to avoid it, but no one will treat her as an outsider at this time, even if her purpose here is really to spy on us humans, it's understandable. Of course, there are other reasons why Gianna held Mavi back..."But it may not be just here, I have to go back, Kurtilas is still fighting the undead navy, and I want to minimize the bad news of my father's death." ”

"Well, you're right, I'm going to bring Manic and those guards with me this time. I replied to Gianna's comments. Yes, I knew the necessity of this, and although Gianna might have had other opinions, I didn't let her express it, because..."Kul Tiras can't afford to lose!"

I said this, but Gianna objected.

"It's my home, it's not anywhere else, I don't need to bring many people, they're more useful to you. ”

"No, Gianna, I think there are almost no people we fully trust except for you, a few of you here, and Ronin and Wenlesa who haven't come back yet, and I don't think that the black dragon's minions have just infiltrated Stormwind, and some Dreadlords have added a lot of power that is more suitable for infiltration, think about Stratholme at the beginning, Marzanis is just a small character of their can be disguised very well. So you have to pay attention to the people around Kul Tiras, after all, that's the last inheritance we have...."I immediately got out of bed, and put my arm on her shoulders and said heavily, yes, although this statement seems very selfish, and I take Gianna's father's things directly as my own, but now I don't seem to need to care about anything, but this tone is more convinced that Gianna accepts my advice and brings my only remaining powerful team. "As you said, Kul Tiras is tricky, but I think it may be trickier than you think, and you can't let your hometown go the way of Lordaeron with them. ”

"I know, I'll go over here. Gianna agreed with my understanding, so she immediately prepared the portal, after my analysis, she was relatively relaxed, she quickly became nervous, yes, she knew that my guess was not superfluous, and it is said that if I hadn't passed out last night, she might have gone back.

"Take care all the way," I admonished... If I didn't have anything else on my side, I would definitely go with him, but now we refugees are not resettled, so I have to stay here to negotiate and even more extreme ways to save my own people. Of course, that doesn't mean I'm going to face any better than Gianna.

Soon, the portal to Kurtilas was formed, and it was at this time that Gianna spoke out about my side,

"Our refugees... It hasn't been made public yet. ”

"That's right. "I sighed, yes, if the soldiers had known the status of our relatives, maybe they would have gone desperately to the Minotaurs. "I'll go to Thrall and the minotaur called Bloodhoof and see how they react. "I'll negotiate with him, and I'll find a way to get to those who are imprisoned by centaurs." ”

"Take care..."Gianna and the others left, and with the end of the portal, the scene suddenly became deserted, and now only me and Mavi, and some night elves in the distance, all the humans here followed Gianna to the portal. And I can't rest and I have to do my side immediately. And in my murderous eyes, I can make others guess where I'm going. Yes, if the Minotaurs really stood by their opinions, perhaps I would not be able to endure any longer.

"Why don't you go to the tribe right now? Mavi stopped me, it was clear that he knew what I meant, and was going to go as hard as he could, such as the armor I probably didn't need, the lightweight, hard armor that Sylvanas had given me, which was worn out.

"Of course!"

"It's not a good idea to go at this time. They're not like us Night Elves like to be active at night. ”

"I know. I continued to dress, looking at the relic of Dalin, the Tideblade, thinking about the death of this father-in-law-to-be after all the support he had given him, and I was even more determined to avenge him. So I held it tightly in my hand.

"Kane Bloodhoof is not a selfish minotaur, and there must be some reason for that. ”

Mavi continued to dissuade me, and apparently, we were about to start arguing again.

"I don't think he's either, so I want to see what he thinks!"

"If you go to him for a reason, it may not be the best way to save your people, if you want to save your people, then don't judge it, but understand the situation and admit your mistakes. "Mavi's words made me angry, but she was right, and I had better listen to her advice. "There must be a reason why the Minotaur is hostile to you, and recognizing this mistake and acknowledging it to him may be more helpful for you to solve this problem. ”

"I see," I said, suppressing my anger, yes, if we really made some mistake to have them imprison my refugees and kill Dalin. Unless he attacked the Minotaur first? I don't think Dalin would have made such a mistake. But if not, then why. "Naturally, I want to be informed. ”

"That's right. But don't bring a weapon if you really want to get your hands dirty. You can't beat him, let alone his people," Mavi said sensibly, and made a promise to me when she couldn't calm my anger, "As for those people, I'll try to help you out." ”

"You're going to send your troops to help us. ”

Yes, this promise made my anger go away. I was thrilled to hear this, yes, I didn't expect her to use the power of her people to help me, but it wasn't what I thought it would.

"It's not something that war can solve, I'll do it my own way. Mavi explained, she seemed to be trying to hide something from me, but I wanted to know what it was...

"In what way?"

"Go to their ancestors, we had some friendship 10,000 years ago..."Mavi didn't want to explain too much. "You'd better go find Bloodhoof and Thrall my way. I'll help you solve the problem on the Centaur side first. ”

Mavi said and left, leaving only the doubts in my mind, yes, I remember that the Night Elves don't seem to have anything to do with those creatures, if she really has the means, and not by force, it will really surprise me, does she want to kidnap the leader of the centaurs? If that's the case, I really don't want her to take such a risk. So I walked and grabbed her as she left the room... It was almost as hard as he took her into his arms...

"If there's something in your plan that puts you at risk alone, I'm not going to let you go alone, even if you don't get out of the refugees. ”

"I won't be in danger...", although Mavi's tone was still calm, I vaguely noticed that her heart was still a little fluctuating... While it was probably my concern for her safety, I was more worried that she was hiding it from me, for I could think of no other way to get the centaurs to let my people go down than kidnapping. "Trust me!"

"That's... I'll go with you, just like I did against the Burning Legion before. ”

"Well... As before. ”

This time, I didn't reject my argument in Mavi, yes, I could see how much she was looking forward to our previous experience against the Burning Legion, and although we might have been precarious at that time, we didn't have to take into account political factors like that now... It's become some good memories.

So I arranged for Mavi's deputy, Nasha, to control the situation on my side, and then went into action with Mavi, yes, our soldiers don't treat these priestesses who treat them as outsiders now, if they let them maintain order here while I'm leaving, they will definitely not have any opinions, and naturally there will be no chaos.

To be quick, I turned back into a dragon and flew her south. But she motioned for me to turn north. So we flew north.

Mavi began to fly north, I think it was to hide their eyes and tell them that we were going to find the Night Elves. But in fact, we're the Night Elves we're looking for. Mavi pointed me the way, and I knew exactly where it was.

"To go to the World Tree, is it to find Malfurion?"

"If he is willing to help you, he will take you there. ”

"Why? It's here, is it here that the centaurs can submit?"

I wondered what Mavi had said, and her reply was even more confusing to me.

"I remember when you said you could see those souls!

"Yes, but so what, is there still an ancestor of the centaurs? ”

"Sort of. Mavi sighed... Not explaining anything. And I can only do what she says if I am skeptical.

The path of the World Tree is still very recognizable, and although the giant tree is gone, the peak of Mount Hyjal where it stands is still there. Many of the Night Elf druids had gathered around the ruins to discuss something, and the presence of Mavi and me had apparently disturbed them.

They packed up their work and prepared to deal with us, and I thought Mavi was taking me to meet these druids, but in fact she was surprised that these druids would be here, but from her somewhat wary eyes, she didn't want them to be here.

"Why are you here? The Great Druid among them said, apparently on the same level of speech as hers. It should also be the status of a lord. In or rather second only to Malfurion's druids. "Humans favored by the red dragon may be a good attempt. ”

The druid looked at me, yes, I understood his purpose a little, but I was skeptical of Mavi because I somewhat understood that the Night Elves wanted to use me as a test subject.

"No, Vandal, I'm not here to bring you experiments! I'm not like you, I'm here to find a soul. ”

Mavi explained, yes, she was a little angry at the druid's actions, but she didn't want to have any conflict with him at this time. So the reply was somewhat calm, but even so, this druid was already angry.

"The World Tree has withered, and the souls that live here have no place to live. If you're serious about our race, you should help me. Instead of wandering among these human beings!"

"The World Tree was tasked with destroying the Demon King when it appeared! Now that she's done with it, as for the Ancestral Soul, isn't that something to be handed over to our priestess?"

"The Temple of the Moon is nowhere near enough to hold all the souls, and Ysera won't allow all the Night Elves to enter his world, and to be honest, I'm not happy with your casual work!"

"Isn't that satisfying for what you're doing, Malfurion doesn't disagree with your actions, and you want to restore the World Tree so that we can live forever. What's the difference between this and the High Elves of 10,000 years ago!"

"This should be what we deserve!"

....

The two Night Elves blamed each other, and this made everyone around them shocked, yes, I am still satisfied with the attitude of the other druids, at least, those druids did not unite to help their lords, otherwise, we would definitely not be able to eat and walk around. Maybe Mavi also recognized this, and she still gave in to this druid at the end.

...

"I'm looking for a soul here, and I won't get in the way of you, so don't get in the way of me! I won't go to Malfurion to sue you."

"Of course, I can't detain you, you're still in charge of the prison!"

"It's good to know!"

"But I want you to leave as soon as you see that person. This is my territory, don't forget. ”

Mavi didn't explain, and the druid named Vandal stepped aside and stepped aside, and then used Mavi to step forward and shout a name with his heart, and this name surprised the originally dismissive Vandal, yes, in his mind, he probably thought that Mavi would call out the previous Priestess of the Moon, but it was actually a druid's name. So he regained his interest, stopped and turned his head.

"Zarta!"

"You're shouting druids?"

Originally wanting to leave, he turned around and came behind Mavi, but Mavi ignored him and continued to shout. Yes, soon he came out. And to my surprise, I could see him. A half-human, half-deer form, I've seen it before, like the Forest Dryad who helped the Night Elves, but apparently this one is male. He has a long beard, four hooves like a deer on the lower half of his body, and a night elf on his upper body.

It reminds me of Cenarius, who was supposed to be in this battle against the demons in the world. Maybe I didn't see it. But this soul is obviously not because he is very young, although it may be thousands of years old.

"I thought it was Vandal calling out to me, but it was you, Mavi! there must be something you're looking for me, isn't it? ”

"Yes, I want you to do me a favor. ”

"If there's anything you need our druid's help with, you can go to him. The soul pointed at Vandal and said, "I'm a dead man, there's nothing I can do to help you!"

"It's about the centaurs, they've imprisoned some humans, and I hope you'll let your children and grandchildren let them go. ”

"You're kidding, Mavi, if you remember 10,000 years ago, you should know how I died!"

He explained, I was a little puzzled by this, it was too funny that he was killed by his children and grandchildren. But depending on the content of their conversations, this may be the case.

"Of course I know, but I think your children and grandchildren will be upset, and if you can ask your wife, Thrydes, she will certainly grant your request. ”

"But Mavi, why are you doing that? The soul of the zarta questioned Mavi's claims. "Do you remember what you told me when I was dating Thrydes? I think I should have warned you!"

"Aliens cannot be trusted! Yes, that's what I said. But if you wouldn't have told me in the first place, then I can tell you why you didn't listen to me in the first place, and I know now, so I don't need to explain too much to you. ”

"It's him!" Zarta looked at me, as if sensing something strange about me. Not a dragon. But Mavi ignored him and continued to reason with him.

"Maybe, maybe not, but I'm going to help them humans this time. ”

"All right, but I warn you, your end is wrong in the end!" Zarta sighed. "It's like you told me 10,000 years ago"

"Perhaps, perhaps, it was wrong in the first place... But I admit it, just like you said 10,000 years ago!"

What did I realize during the communication between Mavi and him, what did that Zarta and Mavi experience 10,000 years ago and this similar scene, but their roles have been reversed, but what can I say. The druids around me and I watched their conversation in silence. Nothing was said ... It seems that they also know what history is.

"Well, I'll help you, if she's still taking care of my feelings, but she's not very good-tempered, you know. ”

"That's right, and I can tell you that her temper may be worse than when you were alive, and of course it's not just her temper that's worse. ”

Instead of saying anything, nor asking anything, Zarta asked Mavi to pick up a stone, then reached to it with her own empty hand and recited some words.

"You give it to Thrydes, it's the daughter of the Mother of Stone, and you should hear the request here, and of course my request will work. Zarta said, and his soul faded away. Or maybe he didn't want to talk about these worlds, and only left half an unfinished sentence. "Actually, I wanted to forget about her for a long time, it's better for me, and you'd better too..."

Mavi ignored it. Instead, he was about to leave with me, but just then, Vandal came over.

"We, the druids, have done you a favor, Mavi, and you humans, and I hope you will do us druids a favor too. ”

"If I can do it, of course I can, Lord Vandal. "I showed him respect, and yes, although he wasn't too friendly to us, but looking at it that way, if his demands weren't too excessive, I had few reasons to refuse.

"If I can get a few liters of your blood, it shouldn't be a problem. "He said to me, yes, it's not a problem, a few liters of blood for a dragon is almost no different from a few milliliters of blood drawn by an ordinary person, and it is almost negligible compared to the blood shed on the battlefield. Of course, it depends on what Mavi means. Mavi was unimpressed, and her silence upset the Great Druid. So he turned to me. "And this will be applied to my research on the World Tree. This will go a long way in the interests of our Night Elf race. You don't want to want to do something for Mavi's race. ”

"Absolutely. "I didn't hesitate, but bit the flesh of my claws. Drained the blood into the container he had prepared. When I was sure there were a dozen liters, I withdrew my bleeding paws. "That's pretty much enough. ”

I replied, and the archdruid ignored me, but put away my blood.

Yes, although these efforts are insignificant to me, I still wait for his thanks, but he does not. And Mavi saw what I was thinking, and she just reminded me what to do.

"Then let's go, your people are still waiting for you to save?"
