Chapter 100: Ask for help
Andy glanced coldly at the door, then threw down what he was holding and turned to go upstairs. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info this old drunk obviously knows something, but people don't want to say it, and he can't force him to say it, so he also told himself the solution, and there is no difficulty in settling the account for him.
Early the next morning, Andy took Doyle and the others on the road, still taking the official route. When you go to the town of Red Ridge Mountain, even if it is within the scope of Stormwind City, as long as you don't go to the depths of the forest or the mountains, there is basically no danger.
After the triangular crossing, you will enter the Elwyn Forest. Andy boarded a convoy of timber at the nearest East Valley lumber yard, and after paying a few silver coins, the captain agreed to his request.
The captain was a bearded man, no more than forty years old, with a square face that was distinctively characteristic of the Stormwind Kingdom, and a pair of piercing eyes. He drove out one of his family's carriages, just in time for Andy to ride the four. The four of them who had been walking for two days were also relieved, there was nothing wrong with them, but Doyle couldn't, and he couldn't walk fast even when he was trembling.
The captain himself led the way in front of the timber convoy in the wagon, and they took the main road, which was always patrolled back and forth by Stormwind cavalry, and they did not worry about safety. The convoy behind pulled the wood, a little slower, but faster than on foot, and according to the captain, they would reach Stormwind by evening at the latest.
Andy is bored in the car and asks about the situation in Stormwind. When the orcs invaded, the entire city was destroyed by the orcs, and it was completely rebuilt. Speaking of this situation, the captain also sighed with emotion, his own timber is to support the construction of Stormwind City. Although Stormwind is largely restored, there are some details that still need to be perfected over a long period of time.
Around noon, they arrived at a small town on the outskirts of Stormwind, the famous Shining Gold Town. The town was also completely destroyed during the war, but it didn't take long for a town to be rebuilt to its former glory. Andy and the others finished lunch at the Lion King's Pride Hotel, and the team captain urged them to hit the road.
Andy has seen that after more than a year, the Elwyn Forest is progressing to its former appearance, but there is one area that remains bare and unplanted. Andy knew that it was a land eroded by Gul'dan's evil magic, and that there would probably be no more life. Overall, the entire Stormwind Kingdom is recovering well, and it seems that the regent of Lothar is doing a good job.
As the sun set, the convoy reached the gates of Stormwind, and the captain of the convoy stopped the carriage and said, "I can only send you here, my convoy cannot enter at the main gate, and the gate where I enter and exit does not allow you to enter or exit." ”
Andy stepped out of the carriage to show his understanding, and when everyone got out of the carriage, Andy gave the team captain a dozen silver coins as a reward for taking care of him along the way. The captain of the convoy said goodbye to Andy and took his timber to the city for delivery.
Andy helped Doyle, who was still trembling, and walked to the city gate step by step, Doyle's condition was a little serious, he had to be treated earlier, otherwise no matter how strong a person was, he couldn't bear such torture. Andy glanced up at the gates of Stormwind, the white walls and arched gates made it look majestic.
In the middle of the gate there is a huge alliance crest, the arrow holds the shield, the hammer is stuck behind the shield, and the golden eagle ornament is shining with golden light. On top of the shield in the middle of the coat of arms, there is a golden lion head, although it is at night, but people can also see his golden light, and can also make people feel his majesty.
Andy walked into the city gate, which was guarded by only two groups of soldiers, keeping a close eye on passers-by. There weren't many people who came in and out at night, and most of them were risk-takers like Andy. The two pairs of soldiers looked at the adventurers who were hurrying out, and they all showed a look of pity, they watched as many people went out at this time, wanting to go to the depths of the forest to win some wealth, but not many returned, and most of them were injured. They watched Andy and the others come in, their eyes did not change in the slightest, and they saw them as those adventurers who had returned from serious injuries.
It was getting late, so Andy found a hotel in town and stayed first. Due to Doyle's mobility problems, he was still assigned a room on the first floor, and Leila accompanied him all night.
As soon as it was dawn, Andy approached Leila and said, "I'll go check on the situation first, and when I find the cathedral, I'll come back to pick up Doyle." ”
Layla's eyes were bloodshot, and there were dark circles around her eyes, and it was obvious that she hadn't slept all night. Andy sighed when he thought of this beautiful girl with a good face and fair skin before, and became the haggard appearance she is now.
There weren't many pedestrians on the street, most of them were early morning merchants, and he stopped a quick-haired merchant, thanked him for the way to the cathedral, and walked briskly in that direction.
The cathedral of Stormwind is a district of its own, known as the Church District. In this district, there are no shops, no soldiers, and no ordinary households. In the early days of Stormwind's reconstruction, the bishop of Stormwind gave Stormwind's subjects great spiritual encouragement, otherwise they would not have been able to rebuild Stormwind in the short term. Lothar was respectful and gave the place to the church to the priests and monks to practice in peace.
At this moment, the morning sun shines on the silver spire of the cathedral in the church area, which is full of peace. At this time, in the cathedral, there were bursts of chanting, which made the listeners' hearts calm. There were also quite a few people gathered around and listened quietly, but they were all outside the church area, and none of them set foot in it.
Andy walked straight into the church area and headed towards the cathedral.
"Wait, you're not going in!" A person who looked like an ordinary person grabbed Andy's arm and said.
Andy paused, glanced back at the man, and a strange look flashed in his black eyes. "Why?" Andy asked displeased. Could it be that there is some sense of superiority in this kind of cathedral, and no one else is allowed to enter? What else does he need to do in such a church?
"At this time of the morning, everyone has to enter the church district, that's the rule!" The man had anger on his face, and suddenly his eyes swept into Andy's ears and he exclaimed, "Oh my God, he's an elf!" ”
Andy's eyes froze, Stormwind City still has such a rule, which he didn't expect at all. Andy looked at the eyes of the crowd around him, took back the foot he had stepped in, and waited quietly outside before the crowd gradually quieted down.
After nearly an hour, the crowd around him gradually dispersed, and the chanting was no longer heard in the church, and Andy strode in. The pastors in the church were gathered in twos and threes, and it was clear that the morning service had just ended, and Andy walked in to get the pastors to notice.
"Is there anything wrong with you?" A voice as soft as water burrowed into Andy's ears.
An Ding turned his head to see a young woman, dressed as a priest, walking out of the side room. Andy nodded at her, then said, "I have a friend who is said to have fallen under a kind of magic, and I was told that the pastor in the church could help us, so I took the liberty of coming." ”
The priestess frowned slightly, and then said, "Is there such a thing? I don't know who you're pointing you to, but it's unfortunate that not all priests can exorcise magic or curses, only those with profound mana inside the cathedral. But the priests were not in the church at the moment, they were sent down by the archbishop to preach. ”
Andy frowned, there was such a situation, which was really unexpected. But Doyle's health is getting worse day by day, and if he doesn't deal with it, I'm afraid his life will really be in danger.
"Then will you ......?"
"I can't, I'm just an ordinary pastor." Before Andy could finish speaking, the other party interrupted him.
Andy pondered again and again, and asked, "Then can you tell me the one closest to here, and I'll go to find him right away, maybe my friend still has a chance to live." ”
The priestess shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, I can't. ”
Andy only felt powerless, and although the place was found, it could not solve the problem. He sighed, turned and walked out, then suddenly turned back and asked, "After all that, I still don't know your name?" ”
The priestess smiled and said, "My name is Laurena. ”
Andy thanked Laurena and sighed as he walked out of the cathedral. Laurena looked at Andy's lost figure, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, although she knew that this did not meet the standards of a pastor, but the teacher he would forgive me, all this was explained by him, and she just did what he was told. Laurena shook her head and walked back to the cabin on the side.
The moment Andy walked out of the cathedral, he looked back deeply at the church gates. Laura, the name he remembered.
