War of the Ancients 11
On the other hand, Rafincrest and some of his own soldiers arrived at Sulama, knowing that he had to capture the orc so that he could give an account to the Empress, and of course, there were other things, that is, to find out who had stolen the orc, and what was the purpose? A Night Elf who went to steal an orc that disgusted their race, he would rather believe that the Night Elf killed the anomaly, but there was a plausible reason, that it was a conspiracy, such as the work of his political enemy Harvis, after all, some of his informants had heard that in Harvis's territory, one of his subordinates was also doing a similar mission of his own, but failed, and if he succeeded, he might lose points in front of the Empress.
Of course, this is just speculation, and I have to figure it out. However, in this matter, Rafincrest did not think to blame Garrod, after all, he said that he would let him deal with it, just like the empress had explained to herself. The empress has treated herself unfairly, so she should not treat her subordinates unfairly.
Although Galafenkress didn't blame himself, Garrod still felt that he had done something wrong. Indeed, it was a surprise to Garrod that a fellow clan wanted to hijack this thing, and that he had evaded so many guards to complete this task, which in itself was very worthy of investigation.
Still, he trusted the new squad leader, Illidan, to complete the task, as Garrod had decided at first glance that he would be a formidable battle mage. But just as he was thinking this, he got an answer that he didn't expect, he failed, he failed to catch the kindred.
Yes, before, Illidan "pursued" them out of the city. Then, on the outskirts of the city, where no one was around, the two siblings and Brooks consulted with each other about their whereabouts, that is, they were going back to Cenarius.
Throughout the time, Illidan was reluctant, knowing that it would be a very risky thing for Tyrande and himself. So he wanted to blame his brother for thinking like this, and before parting, Illidan couldn't help but blame Malfurion for such behavior, but Malfurion just took this blame completely, thinking that since Tyrande didn't say that it was the archbishop's idea, then he didn't need to say it, so he looked very sorry for Illidan and said that he wouldn't do it next time. And said that he must not let Tyrande have any stubble. However, Illidan only scoffed at Brother Malfurion's concern for Tyrande, obviously such a thing did not need to be explained by him at all, and it should not be something he should explain. Broxs and Malfurion headed for their destination, and Illidan left to return to the station after seeing their location.
In general, the two brothers ended the meeting amicably, but Illidan had an extra heart, that is, he gave Brocks a bracelet with a positioning device, and said goodbye in the future, but in fact, when Illidan was worried that he would regret it, he would catch the orc again.
However, Illidan did not believe that he would do this, because he knew that Broxs was locked in such an open place, and he had not prepared food for him, in fact, Garrod wanted to kill the orc in disguise. Now that it had run away from Surama, there was no need for Garrod to pursue the matter.
But to his surprise, when he came back to his life, he got word from Garrod that this was what the Empress wanted... Illidan was glad that he had installed a positioning device for the orc. And he also planned a plan to capture the orc: as long as the orc was away from the forest and close to the city, it was the time for his own action, because then he would be sure that Cenarius had finished meeting the orc. And when they met, Cenarius wouldn't say anything even when he saw the bracelet, after all, the king of the forest wouldn't think he had malicious intentions.
Compared to Illidan, Garrod was not so happy. Especially when Rafencrest, the lord of Crow's Castle, arrived here because of this. It happened that Garrod and Illidan, as well as some of the parties involved, separately recounted the incident. But compared to this incident, Rafincrest felt it compelled to meet the priestess of the month who had healed the orcs. Illidan was nervous about this, fearing that Rafincrest would torture Tyrande, and bent his knees to say that she had nothing to do with it.
"Dear Lord Rafinclrest, I can assure her that this has nothing to do with her, and the Holy Priestess of the Moon would not do such a thing. β
Rafincrest was very curious about Illidan's attitude, in fact, of course he didn't believe that the priestess would release the orc, and the reason he met the priestess was because he had heard that the priestess was the youngest one, and he was so favored by Elune, so he wanted to use this as an excuse to get to know the young and promising priestess, yes. It was not for nothing that Rafincrest became a lord, he used himself to constantly cultivate young and promising youths, and the life span of the night elves was so long, so he fed back to himself after his valued juniors made a fortune, and it was in this way that with the support of the majority of rising stars, he gradually came to the position of lord, and the Illidan in front of him was, and the priestess was also one of the targets of his observation, he knew that he was a once-in-a-century wizard of magic and combat, and a rising star of the Moon Temple, and most importantly, they were less than twenty years oldγ
"Illidan, I guess you're not the Moon Guardian yet. β
"You, do you know my name?"
"Of course I do, but I'd love to know why you're so sure that the priestess didn't free the orcs? β
"Because... Because, I was with her that night. We've lived together since we were kids, and it just so happened that I was assigned here as a squad leader, so we met privately. β
Illidan explained this, causing many people in the audience to snicker. Yes, it was a very private thing, and for good reason, it was actually the one he most hoped for, and Rafincrest was more interested in it. That is, not to deceive this young night elf:
"Young Illidan, you may have misunderstood me, I saw her so that I could remember her name, as I knew you. Maybe you'll soon be the Moon Guardian, and maybe I should write to Archbishop Hairney to ask her to keep an eye on this young priestess, you see?"
"Yes, I understand Mistress Rafincrest very well, and I will call her. β
Illidan said and went to the Temple of the Moon, while the people here continued to discuss some other matters, such as the possible escape route of the orc, and some recent rumors about demons, as an enlightened lord, Rafincrest knew what was the most important thing in his territory, and it was obvious that the appearance of demons was his real concern. In this regard, Garrod also tried his best to describe what might happen, and his own worries, that is, someone is creating this chaos, just like demons, they are different from any kind of fierce beast herd that threatens the safety of the town before, but they are very intelligent, so Garrod guesses that the mastermind behind it is probably related to this night elf who released the orcs, and before, Garrod thought that you were another race, such as minotaurs or dwarves, trolls, etc., but now it seems that it was his own people who did it. Rafincrest has a few thoughts of him, and that is Harveys, because some of his extreme claims have almost led to the splitting of some noble elves into a subspecies similar to the Night Elves, and this subspecies almost does not intermarry with the Night Elves. He even looked down on himself, the lord who climbed up from the grassroots. However, these were all speculations on Rafinclest's part, and he did not mention them to Garrod, but instead prepared for the possibility.
On the other hand, Illidan went to the Temple of the Moon, he found Tyrande and told him about it, compared to the worldly mentality of Illidan, he was not at all impressed by this kind of promotion by the leader, but Lafenkres wanted to see her, so she had no reason not to see him. It's just that at this time, I met Mavi again. Mavi ignored herself, and although Tyrande had shown respect for this senior earlier, this senior's disgust for the way these two people were together was self-evident.
However, she didn't argue with them in person like last time, but went to take a look, and after looking at it, Mavi realized a situation, that is, the person who came yesterday was not this Illidan squad leader, but another person, and that person and maybe the Night Elf who released the orc, after all, according to the news from the guards, there was a Night Elf who looked very similar to Illidan did the work. And he also has a relationship with Tyrande, but seeing that Tyrande is about to be summoned, Mavi is very relieved, not only because he has revenge, but also because he finds that his brother seems to have a strong consciousness, and in such a short period of time he can guess who the mastermind may be. She was even proud of her brother.
Tyrande... This young priestess is now very unpopular with Mavi, and it is a very worthless thing for her to be locked up because of her, and now that she is questioned, it is indeed very suspicious, after all, the Night Elf who hugged him yesterday is very suspicious, and Tyrande may not be able to escape the involvement, of course, even if she doesn't, her unclear relationship with the Night Elf will directly affect her status here, and even sweep her away. However, after thinking that the captain of the guard named Illidan was very similar to the fugitive, Mavi felt that the Night Elf squad leader might also be the mastermind, so when Istan and Tyrande went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Mavi still followed him, after all, he was worried that Illidan would run away with him.
However, Mavi miscalculated. Although she saw Tyrande's very reluctant appearance all the way down, the guards at the gate of the city's internal affairs hall did not embarrass Tyrande, but looked very respectful, and at this time when she wanted to take a look, she found some strange guards, and under the guidance of some familiar soldiers, Mavi realized that it was Rafenkres, the lord of Raven Castle, who had entered here and came to investigate the orcs, so Mavi did not continue.
As a priestess of the moon, she is still a little worried, this worry is not for Tyrande, but for their Moon Temple, if Tyrande is really the mastermind of releasing the orc, it seems that her Moon Temple will be charged with something. Just when she didn't know whether to be excited or unlucky, Mavi finally chose to avoid this problem by herself, after all, she couldn't change anything, and after thinking about it, she would go to the Moon Temple to deal with her own affairs as if it was nothing.
Overall, he was very happy, at least even if the priestess who had embarrassed herself was not an accomplice, then his unclear relationship with the Night Elf would have caused her to be punished... But three hours later, when Tyrande and someone were about to arrive at the Temple of the Moon God, Mavi at the door was dumbfounded...
What happened in between these three hours:
Tyrande walked in here, although she was very uncomfortable with the guards on both sides alone, entering the hall to meet the chief, but she still walked over with a calm step, she knew that she was a little suspicious in helping the orcs escape, and it was best not to let herself show her flaws, thinking of this, she was more calm, and it was the aura brought by this calmness that made many people stand up unconsciously, as far as the decoration was concerned, Tyrande was just a very ordinary priestess costume, but under the guidance of Tyrande's will, some blessings of the moon gods surrounded her, these looming brilliance, making her appear dazzling enough, as if an important person appeared.
The well-informed Lord of Rafincrest sensed her peculiarity at first sight of Tyrande, he had seen many priestesses, but similar to the temperament she was showing now, perhaps except for the High Priest Gelderny, I am afraid that no one could achieve such grace, he stepped forward and took the initiative to kiss Tyrande's hand. Yes, this is a ritual invented by the upper elves to try to popularize this ritual to kiss the Empress Azhara on some important occasions, and now Lafenkres actually used it on Tyrande, although Illidan looked a little jealous, but he had some pride in her heart, and his original state of mind that was still ignorant had completely changed, and he was determined to get Tyrande, even if it was his brother or someone else who was competing with him.
Originally, Rafenkres wanted to pretend to question Tyrande about the orc, but after Tyrande showed it like this, he seemed to have forgotten about it. He asked her about some other knowledge, such as knowledge of the moon god and the legendary Cenarius. To this, Tyrande also replied very philosophically, for example, he explained in detail that the blessing of the moon god is to anyone, not just the elves, to which she even took the initiative to take the initiative to deal with the orc, and used this as an example to end the fraternity of the moon god. In the same way she expounded her knowledge of Cenarius, and he even stated that she and Illidan had studied under him. However, she did not mention Malfurion, and Illidan took the opportunity to express a mutual affection between the two of them, and they had come to the city for the sake of their respective beliefs, for the sake of the Night Elves, and had gone to the city separately under the blessing of the moon god.
Yes, Tyrande felt a little disgusted by Illidan's statement, yes, she didn't want Illidan to dominate her relationship, but she knew that she couldn't show Malfurion, so she could only admit the relationship, but in order to show her mind, she still said something that made Illidan die
"I will serve Elune all the rest of my life!
"Well, I can tell. Rafincrest nodded, he knew the will of this priestess, and his attitude towards Illidan, he also thought that he might be able to have her, a female priestess, by his side, but after hearing some of Illidan's words and her, he also determined that neither he nor this Illidan could be melted into her heart, he didn't force anything, and he didn't want the young Illidan to have more contact with the priestess, after all, such a result could only hurt the feelings of the young Night Elf. In this regard, Lafenkress decided to let her leave, but some of what she said still deepened the understanding of this Night Elf, that is, the moon god is fratern, and the Night Elves have no highlands like any race, just like he has come from childhood to the present, maybe he is not inferior to those upper elves as a single Night Elf, and other races may be the same, although their appearance, culture, Beliefs vary, but they all share the same vision for the unity and stability of the country, as well as the pursuit and protection of the people.
Just as he was thinking this, Garrod next to him asked her a very strange question, obviously he had been paying attention to the young Night Elf, because the similarity of his childhood and his belief in nature and fraternity made him realize that they were the same kind of people, and she was a priestess, and a great duty of a priestess was to teach others and help others, and it was obvious that she needed her to listen to her feelings and experiences, and more importantly, her words evoked an awareness of him, an understanding of legendary characters:
"Lady Tyrande, did you really grow up with Cenarius, and was he like the Temple of the Moon?"
"He's always existed, he's been the Lord of the Forest since the Night Elves were born, there's no doubt about his existence? β
Garrod seemed to remember something, that is, he had seen the figure when he was younger, but his sister had always denied him and questioned him for daydreaming.
"I, can I go to you to confess to you, or get your blessing?"
"I'll be there for you!"
Tyrande agreed, apparently unaware of his relationship with Mavi, and Mavi's suggestion that some others should not let him come into contact with the confessions and blessings of anyone other than himself, for Mavi feared that what he was saying was childish and would make people think that he was not worthy to be the captain of the city's guards.
In this regard, Lord Lafenkres himself felt that he had lost a lot of time, so he stopped there, and instead carried out his original purpose. He performed a simple ritual of elevating Illidan to the guardian of the moon, and this ritual was simple, even hasty, but a crucial process was essential, and that was to swear faith in Azhara. Of course, there is also the point that Illidan will follow him through that mission, tracking down the orcs and night elves.
In response to this order, Illidan accepted the ritual of becoming a Moon Guardian without hesitation, and was given a Moon Guardian robe.
Tyrande was unimpressed by Illidan's promotion, as it was based on his oath to capture Malfurion. However, Tyrande is still somewhat relieved, he still firmly believes that blood is thicker than water... Maybe Tyrande's guess was right, but when it comes to some issues, that is, about his own feelings, maybe this blood connection may be dispensable.
Lafenkres quit Tyrande and set off, yes, he didn't take the others here, including Garrod, only Illidan, who he believed would be able to prove himself by completing the task.
For Illidan to be valued by the lord, and to give this task that can become famous, to this newcomer. Garrod was not envious at all, as he realized that Illidan had a talent for magic and a passion for politics, which he lacked. On the contrary, he was also very happy, he was able to contact Tyrande, at least there was a priestess to communicate with her, in fact, this has always been what he longed for, he had been lonely in his heart for a long time, and it was obvious that Tyrande was also happy to help this same young sheriff share his inner unhappiness. And he was able to communicate about Cenarius, yes, he was going to tell his sister about it, so that he could prove that some of his family's rumors about the fairy tales related to the Castle King's fortifications might be true.
After a long time, after talking and Tyrande's blessing to Garrod, the captain of the guard, as the captain of the guard, decided to send Tyrande back in person, and on the way they discussed a lot of relationships, such as Garrod said how strict his sister was with himself, and he longed for his sister to really understand herself, and care for herself like when she was a child, etc., but Tyrande, who did not know that Mavi was in a relationship with him, warned him how to try to communicate with his sister and understand his sister's distress, after all, during the conversation, Tyrande learned that he was a noble family in declineγ
Garrod didn't tell her who his sister was. It was also because of some of the previous experiences that he learned that once he broke down her relationship with himself, the average priestess would give up talking to him. But this matter could not be concealed at all, because Mavi was waiting for them. She saw the two of them coming here together at the door of the Moon Temple, and received blessings and greetings from passers-by from time to time...
"Damn!" Mavi was furious at this, especially watching them talk happily from afar, so Tyrande added another charge of seducing her brother in her mind. And this crime is probably worse than all of Tyrande's previous sins. It was decided to stop their relationship, and asked him why he hadn't caught Tyrande, who had been with the fugitive the night before. But just as she was about to walk over, Hairney appeared, she felt some of her apprentice's thoughts, and she also realized what this apprentice had realized, after all, this matter was not so glorious, and just when Mavi wanted to move forward, she stopped Mavi.
"Archbishop!" Mavi only realized that the archbishop was behind her, but the archbishop did not say anything more to her, but only said a word to her, and left.
"For the sake of the glory of the Temple of the Moon God, don't do anything too out of the ordinary. β
Mavi hesitated, she realized that the Night Elf had been summoned by her master, the Archbishop, and that if it was Tyrande who was behind it, it would be better to say that it was Hairney himself. Mavi hesitated, and there were two options in front of him, one was to denounce her, and the other was to bury the matter in his stomach, and Tyrande, who was obviously extremely attached to the Moon Temple, would choose the latter, but she still stepped forward.
For this choice, Helderney didn't care, she knew how Mavi would choose, she knew Mavi very well, like she knew her own children, about this, the archbishop's henchman Grinda was ready to remind the archbishop, but the archbishop didn't care, but returned to his bedroom, she knew that Mavi would question her, and she would have enough evidence... Halderney thought so, but it was then that she suddenly realized something unusual, that someone had arrived in her bedroom, and she was more alert to hurry there to check what was going on, yes, maybe no one but herself could detect the anomaly, but it was so capable for her, and especially at this time it was only Aishara herself who appeared in her room. Of course, she apparently didn't know we existed.
Mavi walked over, and Garrod first noticed her sister and unconsciously took two steps back, and then Tyrande noticed Mavi, and of course she noticed Garrod's state, and in her performance, and in the recollection of their surnames, Tyrande guessed about their relationship, and guessed why Garrod had never had a chance to pray or ask the priestess of the Temple of the Moon for comfort. Of course, she also knew that Mavi might be angry with herself again.
However, in response, Tyrande still politely showed respect to her, but to their surprise, this was not the case, although Mavi's eyes were annoyed, but she did not get angry with herself, but directly picked out one thing, before Garrod called out her sister:
"I want you to go with me to the archbishop. β
"What's the matter?"
Tyrande asked with concern, but just as Mavi was about to speak, she seemed to think. After all, it wasn't very neat to do it yourself, and it still left the tail.
"Our business!"
"I see, if you think it's necessary, then I'm willing to go with you. And I have something for you, and it's your business, and you know how much your brother wants it..."
Tyrande said this, but Mavi obviously didn't have the patience to make her evaluate her relationship with her brother, she was already angry, so she responded extremely lethally.
"Maybe you're interfering too much, hillbilly!"
"That's enough, sister, how can you say that about your colleague, and it's all my will, not anyone!" said Garrod and left angrily,
In fact, she was very angry when she heard this evaluation, but seeing that Garrod had responded to her sister like this, she was not so angry, and if Mavi knew what he was doing, he did have enough reason to be angry, he didn't chase anything, but wanted not to make any mistakes, so he asked her to stop.
"We can't argue here, Mavi, and I think we should go to the archbishop, as you wish. β
Mavi snorted at this, and walked briskly towards the archbishop's bedroom almost in unison with her....
At the same time on the other side.
At this moment, Gianna returned to her own appearance, apparently only disguising her true identity. However, in terms of appearance, she has changed her appearance, and her body is full of powerful magical power. The full head of gray hair seemed to remind me of the old Egwene, but in some physical terms, I could still recognize Gianna's young appearance, but her hands were old enough, maybe this was her normal appearance, the result of learning destruction, necromancy, and giving Isera's bestowal.
But Gianna obviously doesn't care about her appearance at this time, but the voice, Gianna has palpitations, maybe I was resurrected by him, I also heard that voice, for that voice and some sporadic understanding of this era, we guessed that he should be Sargeras, the most powerful being. Coupled with our knowledge along the way, we learned that it was the Empress herself who caused the disaster, and we decided to tell Cenarius the news so that he could prepare to stop it, but the question was what would happen if we met him.
"Cenarius must have been disgusted by the red dragons spying on him, and the two dragons were clearly worried that they would be noticed by him. Apparently he and the Red Dragon weren't as friendly as we thought they were, so we should go back and tell him about what's going on here, that Night Elf Empress is going to unleash the most powerful demon into this world. β
Gianna, who had almost completely figured out to me, barely had to communicate on some of the details, but on some of the different points of view, they had to be dictated. As for my understanding, Gianna objected.
"I don't think we should have done that!Cenarius doesn't want to offend Alexstaza, and we might make things difficult for Ronin if we go back against the Red Dragon Empress, and if he sides with us against the Red Dragon Empress, she might ignore his past contributions to the Red Dragon and attack him. Gianna said this, of course, one of the premises of what she said was that Crassus had already told Alexstasa some news about the future, but in fact we didn't know that Crassus was..."That's right, Crassus will definitely tell her what will happen in the future, then there is no need for us to go back, after all, there is no better understanding of this history than this red dragon that has survived for nearly 100,000 years. β
"So what do we do?"
"Let's go to the Temple of the Moon to find Mavi, he served in the Temple of the Moon 10,000 years ago, by the way, let's go and see Tyrande, Malfurion, maybe we can convince them to do something, after all, they are the ones who changed this catastrophe. β
"Yes, let's go find Mavi. But the question is how do we get there? "It's so far away from Darnassus that you can't locate it
"Maybe it's not a problem. We have a map, and I can roughly locate the location... And that location was not Darnassus, but another location, Mavi had told me that the location of their former Moon Temple was not there, she had marked it on the map of our time that it was on the sea, and that location on the map of our era happened to be the existence of the Night Elves after their main city of Aishara, and Surama was here. β
Gianna said with certainty that I could be sure of one thing in her tone:
"I think you'll be able to teleport into that city. β
"Of course, I can pinpoint the center of the Temple of the Moon. I really don't know if the archbishop at that time was Tyrande. β
Yes, Gianna and I remember Tyrande's countenance, and indeed her temperament and appearance are fresh in my memory, and indeed it is an elegance that all the elves I have seen, including Mavi, cannot match, and if there is anyone who can compare to her, it must be herself in that younger age 10,000 years ago. Apparently, Gianna said this because she had felt a sense of temperamental frustration for the first time when she met the Night Elf leader. But Gianna didn't care anymore, not just because of the situation we were in now, but more because of the frustration she felt when she met Aishara today.
"So it's important for us to visit the Temple of the Moon God. β
"Maybe I'll have time to prepare. Gianna said this, and I thought she was trying to groom herself, but it wasn't, but it was for me, in my current form, to go there as an undead spirit, and he had prepared me with a helmet that covered my entire face, and a cape, plus gloves and heavy armor all over my body, with almost only my eyes and nostrils leaking out. It was exactly like Mavi's fully armed decoration, except that the armor was a little thin for me, and I could only live with it, but before I could complain, I noticed that Gianna had actually transformed into Azhara, but she didn't want to explain much about this appearance, she just reminded me to cast a spell, and then we were instantly in the center of the Moon Temple, which is the chamber of the Archbishop of this era.....
