Eighty-eight Exchange
Crossing the Sodoril River, passing through the county of Talon and heading north across the rich lands that would later be known as the Plaguelands, but which had not yet been trampled by the Scourge Legion. Instead of stopping at the city called Stratholme, Gao He continued north, plunging headlong into the Queldanus Forest.
His destination was Queldanus Island, the settlement of the High Elves and the descendants of the Sun Dynasty.
Although in the near future, the Scourge will destroy this forest with an unstoppable force, and even leave a cruel scar on this land that will never heal, but at least now, walking in the forest of birds and flowers, Gao He's depressed and depressed mood due to Wusha's death has also eased a lot.
Moreover, it was more smooth than he thought, and soon, he was already approached by a ranger from the High Elf elite unit "Far Traveler", who was responsible for guarding this jungle, which was used as a natural barrier between humans and elven society.
"Human, show who you are and what you want to do."
Sensing that his body had been locked by a dozen bows and arrows and moon blades in the hands of the High Elf Ranger, Gao He did not show the slightest nervousness or fearβor rather, after witnessing the endless tide of the undead scourge, this small scene was no longer enough to move him.
"Knights of the Left Hand of the Silver, Paladin Abu."
He gestured to his own robe, which Usha had draped for him before leaving Andorhar, the silver-white Hand of Tyr emblem shining brightly in the warm sunlight shining in the shade of the trees.
"Paladin?"
Several High Elf rangers communicated with each other, and then the one in the lead spoke in a stiff tone again.
"You should know that the land of the High Elves does not welcome humans......"
"I would like to meet the leader of your Travelers...... Well, if I'm not mistaken, your current leader is Sylvanas of the Three Windranger Sisters. β
Speaking of which, seeing the look of surprise and confusion on the face of this familiar but much younger elf, Gao He smiled at him with a wicked taste.
"I'm right, Lotherma Theron...... Or should I call you 'Cuong'? β
ββ¦β¦β
Half an hour later, Gao He, who was under the strict defense of a squad of high-ranking rangers, met the person he wanted to see on this trip.
"I am Ranger General Sylvanas Windranger, leader of the Far Travelers."
Dressed in delicate chain mail handcrafted by the High Elves, the cloak that wrapped around her body did not stop Takakazu's eyes from scanning her slightly slender figure compared to humans, but with a slender figure - in fact, any of the three Windranger sisters were first-class beauties by human standards, otherwise, a certain undisciplined mage would probably not have staged the so-called bloody drama of love at first sight, but inherited the beauty of his mother and the heroism of his father (and now his mother) Atola, the redeemer. Nor will the entire Uncle of Overwatch become a complete daughter control.
Maybe it was because Gao He had been in reverie for too long, or maybe his eyes were too offensive during this period, and in the next second, the ranger general had already used the dagger in his hand to resist Gao He's Adam's apple.
"Now, show me your intentions, or I wouldn't mind using your blood to offset your rude offense against me, the noble Windranger family, even if you're a paladin."
ββ¦β¦β
Although the dagger could easily pierce his throat in the next moment, Gao He sighed slightly when he looked at Sylvanas who was close at hand.
"I see, that's how I was tempered from the beginning."
It won't be long before the haughty and glamorous Ranger General dies at Arthas's sword and is revived by Frostmourn, after which her tormented soul will merge with the human maiden Selyse to break free from Frostmourn's grip and become the Banshee King who will end the undead scourge raging.
Judging from the current situation, the character after the complete fusion is obviously dominated by Sylvanas's character, after all, this noble and cold appearance is also very consistent with the image of the future banshee king in Gao He's impression, but ......
"If the split personality is Ceris, then ...... What is hidden under this cold appearance is actually the soul of a blue pool? β
"Human! Don't try to challenge the patience of the Windrangers! β
Sylvanas was obviously a little annoyed by the appearance of the other party completely out of the realm of life and deathβit was clear that it was the first time that she had been so despised by the High Elves as the stars and the moon.
"Well, before we start our conversation, please keep your men away - besides, I don't think this weapon will hurt me, but please be careful."
"Lord Sylvanas!"
Rothmar, who had just been annoyed and angry by Yi Cheng's call "Ah Qiang", the regent of the future blood elves, and the current ranger miscellaneous soldier, spoke out against it almost immediately.
"This human is suspicious, I think...... We should ......"
"Lotherma, I have my own opinions!"
After coldly refuting her subordinates' advice, Sylvanas gave Gao He a deep look before retracting her dagger.
"You guys, keep patrolling, this human paladin...... I'll cross-examine. β
"Yes!"
The surrounding elven rangers apparently had great faith in their leader, and left soon after receiving the order, and even Cuong himself chose to obey the order of the respectable teacher after a little struggle.
"So, tell me, human, what stupid trick are you trying to play?"
After dismissing his subordinates, the ranger general once again regained his cold posture and looked at Gao He with contempt.
"Or do you think you can defeat me on your own? The Ranger General of the High Elves? β
"Although what you say is true...... Well, actually, the purpose of my visit this time is just to meet you, other than that......"
Knowing that any attempt to change history would be futile, Gao He couldn't help but mention it when he thought of the tragic losses that the High Elves would face in the future.
"The army of the undead, led by Arthas, the prince of the Lolita Kingdom, will soon set foot in this land."
"Undead?"
Obviously, the Ranger General's intelligence is not closed, but what she shows is still disdain and ignorance of Gao He's reminder.
"If these filthy, rancid fellows try to invade Quel'Thalas, my Ranger force and I will be happy to give them a taste of bows and arrows."
Knowing that with the arrogance of the High Elves, even if he told her now, "This is your destined future", I am afraid that he will never gain the slightest trust, Gao He sighed and shook his head, once again choosing to succumb to fate.
Yes, after all, what he is familiar with is not the cold ranger general in front of him, but the banshee king who will merge with the soul of the poor and innocent human girl in the future, cold on the outside and hot on the inside.
So, after giving up his unrealistic fantasies, Takawa took out a ring from his bag.
"That's ......"
Almost as soon as he saw the ring, Sylvanas' body moved.
"You...... Mankind! This ring...... Where did you get it from?! β
"You don't need to know where I got this ring, in fact, I'm here to make it with you...... Exchange. β
Playing with the "Ranger General Ring" in the palm of his hand, Gao He's heart was full of emotion.
This ring was a gift from Atora, and the original owner was Atora's mother, the eldest sister of the Windranger who disappeared with Tulayan in the Twisted Void, Aurelia.
And now, Sylvanas had apparently recognized the origin of the ring, and it was no secret that her sister Aurelia had entered the Dark Gate, which was why she was so excited now.
"My sister...... Aurelia ...... Have you really seen her? β
"Frankly, I didn't see her in person, but I can tell you...... She's alive. β
ββ¦β¦β
Sylvanas, who had fallen silent at such an answer, suddenly spoke in a somewhat hoarse voice after a moment.
"Say, you want ...... What to exchange? β
"Whoa."
Gao He pointed to her chest.
"Human!"
Almost instantly, Sylvanas's face was red to the tip of the pointed ear.
"Are you...... Do you really want to be killed by me? β
"Huh?"
Seeing Sylvanas's annoyed and angry look, Gao He was stunned for a moment, and then realized that his actions just now probably made the ranger general misunderstand something.
"What I'm saying has nothing to do with what you're thinking."
He spread his hands helplessly, showing his innocence.
"I want to exchange...... It's that necklace for you. β
ββ¦β¦ Necklace? β
Sylvanas looked down in surprise and confusion and looked at the necklace hanging from her slender neck.
It was a thin chain of fine gold, of ordinary workmanship, and at the end of the chain hung a crescent-shaped pendant, which looked very ordinary...... Of course, this is also true in practice.
"I ...... I don't understand......"
Bei Fang bit his light-colored lip slightly, and the ranger general, for the first time, looked at the paladin in front of him with a serious gaze.
"There are some things that I can't explain to you right now, but I want to ......"
Gao He held the ring in the palm of his hand and sent it to her.
"Maybe, one day in the future...... You'll see the meaning of what I'm doing. β
