Continuing to carry Mavi to the southwest, the destination was to find some kind of person from Thrydes, at this moment, Mavi looked serious, but even so, I was curious about the story that Zarta told. Especially about the fact that she was involved in some things, and in other ways wanted me to know what was going on between them...

"Who is Zarta? ”

"Ten thousand years ago, not long after the Burning Legion was first driven out of this world, that Zalta, the eldest son of Cenarius, fell in love with Thrydes, the daughter of the Mother of Stone, and I warned him not to associate with this alien race, it would not end well, but he did not listen, and after marrying him, they gave birth to centaurs, and now they are a problem on this continent, and Zarta has died at the hands of his descendants. ”

Mavi's words confirmed my suspicions at the time, although I didn't want this to be the case, but since she said so, then I can't doubt anything, yes, if Mavi thought that the union with the other race was a mistake at the time, especially now that the ending proves that the two of them are wrong, then Mavi may really not be able to go with me.

"It's such a sad love story...", I replied in a low voice, yes, I was a little sad in my heart, sad about the story, but more about connecting with myself, but to hide this feeling, I continued to ask other things. "Who is that daughter of the Stone Mother, the daughter of the Elemental Lord?"

"That's right"

Mavi's answer reminded me of the Wind Elemental Lord's subordinates I had seen in Northrend at the time, if they were all kinder to us like that, it might be fine, but if they were like the Fire Elemental, or even enemies, then it would be just us... Feeling lost in my heart, I couldn't help but sigh.

"Hey..."

"What are you sighing about!"

"If you are really like that Zarta, who warned him at that time not to come into contact with the daughter of the Mother of Stone, then why are you so close to me now? Didn't you listen to the warning that Zarta had just told you. ”

I let it go and said, yes, I think it's better to spread it out to her directly. Because this will also get him the most straightforward reply

"You died a lot in this battle with the Burning Legion, and I just want to compensate you for it. And if I want to say anything emotional, all I can say is that it's a pity that you're not one of our Night Elves, and I'm the Night Elf Lord. ”

"Yes..."I understood what Mavi meant, and to avoid embarrassment, I didn't continue to talk about it, but wanted to move on to something else, but I found myself really unable to say anything, after all, we had already said the most straightforward words.

After a long day of flying, I came to the bleak place that Mavi said, and I didn't communicate much in between, Mavi just warned me to be aware of the possibility of fighting next, so I tried to maintain my strength and rest after the flight.

After all she had been through, it was time for her to rest. But I realized in my heart that maybe after she helped me complete the task of rescuing the refugees, there would be no rest on my back, and there would not even be a scene where we would continue to fight side by side... After all, our greatest threat is gone, and the enemy we humans are about to face will not necessarily be their Night Elves' enemies, which means that we can't fight side by side. Thinking of this, I cherish the time I can snuggle with her even more....

After a full day's rest, I probably wouldn't be tired anymore even if I flew for a few days, so I continued to fly in the southwest direction that Mavi had said, and the next day, when Mavi woke up, she confirmed and adjusted her position to continue flying. After a day and night of flying, we made it to that area.

The Bleak Lands are located on the western side of the entire continent of Kalimdor, and there is no vegetation in the entire land that lives up to his name. And Maladon is like a pearl, because compared to the desolation of the whole bleak place, Maladon is simply a paradise, and his karst terrain and turbulent water make it easy for me to think that the princess who lives here must be a kind demigod.

Mavi came here from memory, and it was clear that she wasn't very familiar with it. But one thing she was sure of was that it wasn't very friendly to us.

We descended, and we were greeted by centaurs of other colors, apparently with murderous aine in their eyes. It's just that because of my large body, I didn't attack rashly.

"The Night Elves sit on the Red Dragon, interesting, but if you're asking us to help you fight the Burning Legion, don't be delusional. "One of the largest centaurs is roaring at us, apparently the Night Elves must have been approached by the Night Elves to fight the Burning Legion.

"I am a friend of Thrydes, the daughter of the Mother of Stone, and I bring her a token of your ancestor Zarta. As she spoke, Mavi took out the stone and held it aloft to show it.

Mavi's statement caused a stir among the horses, yes, they were surprised that this would be the case, and there was a serious disagreement between them about their ancestor Zarta. Because some people of all colors show great respect for it, while others are very disgusted. Of course, I see more of the contradictions between centaurs of every color, probably greater than any race I've ever seen.

"Why should we believe in you, this is the token of our ancestors. ”

The dark-skinned centaur continued to question, and Mavi continued to explain.

Thrydes would naturally recognize. ”

"Our grandmother, Thrydes, we haven't seen each other in our lifetimes, and you think you'll see each other. ”

"I knew she was inside. And I knew she was going to let me see her. Mavi said, which made the centaurs very hesitant, but neither the people who admired their ancestors nor those who were disgusted didn't want us to disturb the princess easily.

But whoever it is, for at the door of their grandmother, none of them dares to poison us who hold the tokens of their ancestors. Of course, there is a way that works for them.

"If you can afford to meet our grandmother, then show proof of your strength. The centaur pulled out his weapon and challenged Mavi. Maybe that's their way, like ogres or orcs in the past, going to fight heads-up duels. Only the strong have the right to speak.

This is what I don't want to see, Mavi is a night elf, she doesn't need to risk my affairs, so I wanted to change back into human form instead of Mavi to challenge this guy who is twice as tall as my human form, but Mavi stopped me, yes, I understand what she means, I can't change back into human form, otherwise we will be in a dangerous situation, they don't dare to rush at us because they are taboo for me to look like a giant beast in dragon form...

My actions were noticed by the challenger, but he only treated me like a mount.

"We can't have anything else to help, and we can't use magic. ”

"Of course, I'll use my weapon to defeat you. As she spoke, Mavi pulled out her ring-shaped blade that had shrunk into a roll, yes, this telescopic pole-like weapon was indeed very easy to carry... That's not the point, though. I didn't want Mavi to go, but I knew I wouldn't be able to stop her, so my best bet was to protect her from sneak attacks. Because I knew that with her flash, I should be able to dodge the threat of this centaur.

At the same time, the centaur also took his huge stone axe and duel with Mavi, the rules of the duel seemed to be very similar to those of the orcs, except that the crowd surrounded the city in a circle, which was obviously their range. It's just that to my surprise, this range is not very large, and it is even smaller than the dueling arena in the orc world.

The duel began, and the centaurs cheered. In the midst of such noise, the centaur launched an attack on Mavi, originally thought that it would be difficult for such a small field to accelerate the huge centaurs, but in fact, I underestimated their explosive power, they jumped very quickly, and of course, the most terrifying thing was that they were no less powerful than ogres.

He lunged at Mavi and stretched out his axe and slammed it into Mavi, yes, with Mavi's body, even a weapon that hit her would have killed her instantly. Apparently aware of this, Mavi dodged the attack by rolling on the ground. At this time, I wondered why Mavi didn't flicker, maybe because she was worried about being judged as magic. However, although the playing field is small, it is enough for the agile Mavi.

But she couldn't do it forever, just as I thought about what Mavi could rely on to defeat her enemies. The surrounding centaurs gradually moved closer to the middle. Yes, it's not fair.

I tried to use my power to intimidate the centaurs, but Mavi learned a fact.

"That's how they rule..."

I was helpless, and the centaur saw that I didn't make any further moves, so the fight continued. Mavi, on the other hand, continued to dodge the centaurs' attacks, but did not launch a single charge.

The situation was moving in the direction of Mavi's unfavorable, and the same man seemed to be complacent. I know that Mavi must have some plans, but I am still worried about some accident in my heart, after all, she is here to help me, of course, there are more emotional factors, I really don't want her to have any accidents...

"How long are you going to hide, there won't be so much room for a while. ”

The dark-skinned centaur scoffed, but Mavi was unmoved, and didn't respond. Yes, she's waiting for an opportunity, that chance for the centaur to let her guard down. This centaur is a little anxious, his words are the best proof of this, and of course his actions...

This time the centaur launched an assault again, but his mind was not to face Mavi Gang, but to predict the direction of Mavi's dodge. However, she also saw the mind of the centaur after a hundred battles, and she did not dodge this time, she threw her double blade at the moment when the centaur galloped off the ground.

The unprepared centaur immediately used its stone weapon to block it, and although it barely managed to keep it out of the way, Mavi clearly had a second move, and at the same time she threw out the blade, she threw the poison dart she had hidden on her body, and the poison dart grazed his weapon and shot it in the chest as the centaur dodged the blade. The painful centaur instantly threw down her weapon and covered the place where she was stabbed, and of course, as a would-be assassin, she obviously had a way of killing. Mavi instantly jumped into the air, and then released the blades embedded in her body in the air, but these blades did not shoot at the centaurs, but around the two of them, around the centaurs that they were about to surround, that is, to prevent them from continuing to shrink the scope of the battlefield.

Her scene stunned all the mortals present. Yes, if only a portion of these blades were fired at this centaur, he would have been killed on the spot, but Mavi didn't do that. Obviously, it was to save the life of this centaur.

"The battle is over, you've lost. Mavi said to the centaur.

At this time, the centaurs reacted. However, he was not reluctant to do this, yes, after all, Mavi also defeated him with some righteous and bright tricks, and he also had the strength to fight, and he would definitely not easily surrender to this Night Elf who was much smaller than him. He took advantage of Mavi's seemingly unsuspecting surprise attack.

I couldn't help but feel nervous seeing this, yes, I'm not there for her at this time, if Mavi wasn't prepared... But there was no such possibility, and Mavi noticed, even the moment he was waiting, and took advantage of the moment when he stretched out his axe in anger and smashed it into the air to hers, and threw his neck behind the sleeve of his shirt. The centaur's head and his axe fell to the ground at the same time, and the blood gushing out of the centaur's neck splattered all over Mavi's body, causing her to instantly turn blood-red.

This is what a cold-blooded killer should look like, yes, she was not just a priestess of the moon in the first place.

Her actions sent chills to everyone, but that was it, no one questioned her anymore. And consciously made way for Mavi.

So, Mavi put away her weapon. and motioned for me to go in with her.

Just as I was about to transform into human form and go into the cave with her to find the princess of the Stone Mother, a voice came out at the entrance of the cave. And that one with a majestic female voice. Apparently she was a testament to her identity, but it was very different from what I imagined princesses like Isera and Alexstrassa.

"You've come to see me, Mavi, but I can tell you that if you want to get Zarta back, don't be delusional. ”

"No, I'm here to ask for your help!"

"I don't want to fight the Burning Legion, they're bound to lose this time. I don't want my people to make unnecessary sacrifices. ”

"No, we didn't pit your people against the Burning Legion, we just didn't want to have a misunderstanding with you..."

"I have no misunderstanding with you, I didn't care at all when you dissuaded Zarta, and not now, if you don't have anything else, you can leave. I don't have the heart to see you!"

"Then please let your people imprison some innocent human refugees in the desert. ”

"Imprisoned humans?" the voice said, confused. Apparently she didn't know what was going on recently. Is it true that he hasn't been out for centuries, as Centaur says?" "If Centaur really did that, I can help you, but I want to know something. Why are you doing this?"

"I think it's a righteous thing..."

Mavi murmured, apparently hiding her words. The princess of the stone mother naturally heard it clearly in her heart.

"There are many more righteous things, and this is not something you should worry about at all!"

"All I can say is that I think the same thing as you did. If I could do anything for him, that's all I could do. In the face of doubt, Mavi could only tell some truths, and the princess seemed to understand something. What is it that will make her find herself who she didn't want to meet in the past 10,000 years.

"Good, but I want to warn you that if you're really like me, nothing good will come of it. ”

"Then my answer, as you said at the beginning, I admit it. ”

Mavi's statement shocked me, of course, the same shock was the princess of the stone mother, she never came out of the hole and did not let anyone approach, of course, the most interesting thing was what happened to them at that time, and what they said....

"Well, I'll let those centaurs spare those humans... And I thank you for helping me bring Zarta's message to me, but I don't need it anymore. The princess said this, and at the same time, the stone that Mavi was holding turned to powder in an instant. "It's already a thing of the past. ”

"That's as it should be, thank you for helping me, not for the sake of Zarta's face..."

"If nothing else, you can leave. I don't want to be bothered by anyone, and I don't want to reminisce about those old days. ”

As she spoke, the hole began to collapse and was eventually sealed with stone. Mavi, who had also been greeted, didn't say anything, but flashed onto my back and motioned for me to leave. Yes, it's never safe to be in such a heap. And after we get her reply, there is no need to stay any longer.

On the way back. I can't wait to ask Mavi about those histories:

"The story of me and Thrydes, I told it when we came. I don't want to talk about it either. ”

Mavi said as she tried to clean the blood from her body, but it was obvious that she couldn't do without water, but she tried to hide her thoughts anyway. Yes, I know she's already said that, but that's obviously not what I'm trying to ask about, if it's really like she said. Mavi said, 'I admit it,' and it seemed to me to have something else. That's what I want it to be... It's just that as with reality, maybe it's not the time yet.

Thinking of this, I recalled the current situation, although I have achieved some tasks, but the unknown of the future still makes me deeply aware that everything may not have been certain, which is also somewhat hopeful for me, no matter in that aspect....
