Chapter 12: The Wolves of the Hills
Looking down from the sky, the northern werewolves gathered more and more, like a tide like a sea, and the howl shook the heavens and the earth, Vanessa flew over from above on a void ray, and her scalp was numb to see. I never imagined that the most closed human country would become like this.
She didn't go directly to Dalaran, but turned west, and flew all the way to the Wall of Greyman, which was full of wild wolves mixed with werewolves, and there were no complete human beings.
The Wall of Greymane is 30 meters high and 10 meters wide, enclosing the essence of the Kingdom of Gilney. In order to build this high wall, Gilneth even gave up part of the territory and mobilized the whole country, which took ten years to complete.
Since then, the Kingdom of Gilneth has never participated in the affairs of the mainland again, and has begun a long period of seclusion, but I didn't expect them to show it in front of the world again, it was in this posture, what happened during the period?
None of this was known, but after Vanessa flew near the Wall of Greymane, a line of human archers stood at the head of the towering city, loudly threatening to drive away, and she could only give up her observation and turn to fly north. However, the soldiers defending the city did not become werewolves, which made her feel a little relieved and added a lot of doubts.
After leaving the vast forest, Vanessa did not hesitate to delay and sped up her flight, occasionally passing over Gilneth and entering the territory of Dalaran.
Dalaran is powerful because of their ability to control magic, and in terms of territory alone, this realm is much smaller than Altranch. After leaving the Wall of Greymane and flying north for about three hours, the hemispherical magical barrier came into view.
"Hold on a little longer, it's coming." Vanessa glanced at the sleeping woman behind her, her face grimacing.
This woman was fished up in the sea that night, and she was unconscious, but she couldn't find anything abnormal, so she found her father, Manlanoor, and got a shocking answer: her soul was sealed by a large number of psychic elements.
Vanessa, of course, knows what psychic elements are, and also knows how difficult it is for magicians to get them, this woman is just an ordinary person, and she is pregnant, how did this massive amount of psychic elements come from? Manranor didn't know about it, and he couldn't do anything about it, so he had to let her come to Dalaran for help.
Flying directly above the enchantment, seeing that there was no one around, Vanessa simply followed Cheng Xiaotian's example, clasped her hands and shouted: "The daughter of Manlanor the Firewalker is coming to visit, please open the enchantment."
The magical barrier was closed in one direction, both in sight and in sound, and Vanessa's cry was clearly heard through the city, echoing at the top of the tallest spire. At this time, on the top floor of the tower, the Kenrito Council was in a regular meeting, and the voice was heard, and the members of the council immediately adjourned the meeting and walked to the minaret terrace to look up.
Dalaran's Kenrito Magic Council has six members, and there was a rule that only those who have reached the level of weavers are eligible to enter, but time has passed, and now there are only four weavers in the Council of Six, and the remaining two are elemental walkers. However, this lineup is strong enough, at least for now, no country dares to take a light offense, and of course, everyone does not want to make friends with these withdrawn and eccentric magicians.
"Speaker Ansleem, do you want to get her away?" Wenlesa asked, who was also a member of the Kenrito Council.
Ainslem shook his head, but didn't make a decision right away.
"Let her in." Words came from behind them, and everyone turned around, and it was Archon Luo Ning.
"Ronin, this ......" Weenlesa was about to disagree, but was interrupted by Speaker Ansrem.
He seemed to have made up his mind, and said, "Manranor is now an important minister of the Water Elf Kingdom, and in addition, adhering to the principle of knowledge sharing, Dalaran should not refuse the mage's visit."
After hearing this, the councillors nodded, and one of the female councillors raised her staff and pointed upward, and a little purple starlight flew out of the staff and landed gently on the barrier. The point immediately rippled and spread outward, revealing a circular notch. Vanessa, who had been waiting for a long time, flew in on the Void Ray, the ripples echoing behind her, and the gap closed again.
Ansrem stood at the top and raised his head and shouted, "Mage from afar, welcome to the City of Magic, this will be your second home."
The speaker greeted her in person, which did not make Vanessa excited, she landed on the platform in a hurry, turned over and jumped down without waiting for a stop, and after standing in two steps, she said with a solemn face: "Your Excellency, let go of all politeness, I brought the news of a patient and a catastrophe, which one do you want to hear first?"
The parliamentarians looked at each other when they heard this.
At the same time, in the hamlet on the border between the Hills-Bled Hills and Alterac, Fallon looked worriedly at the northwestern sky. The sun had already set, and there was only a glimmer of blood, and night was coming.
Behind him, the villagers lying on the threshing floor were all tied up with thick hemp ropes, and their faces were colorless. Along the barn, a circle of old and weak women and children stood in a circle, sadly watching the pillars of their homes tied to the ground like piglets.
"Why hasn't the lord arrived yet? The blue moon is about to rise! The female avenger asked anxiously.
It is said that after being infected by a mad wolf, the first night with a blue moon will completely turn into a werewolf, a zombie nature.
Faeron shook his head, "It can't be so fast, everyone get ready, you'll have to watch it later!" ”
As soon as his words fell, the last rays of sunset on the west side went out like a lamp, and the heavens and the earth fell into darkness for a moment. At this moment, a wolf howl came from the west, the sound was strange and desolate, full of blood, and the crowd on the side of the barn immediately became noisy.
Fei Lun Huo Ran turned around, looked at the people in the square, and shouted: "Don't speak, stand back a little, and get everything ready."
Hearing his words, the villagers immediately ran away, and the village chief ran to the edge of the threshing floor with the remaining uninfected young adults, each carrying a wooden stick in his hand, and stared nervously at the people on the ground. The sticks in their hands are all the strongest chestnut wood, with forked ends and a "Ya" shape.
After another moment, a touch of blue appeared in the east, and the blue moon was about to rise.
"Weeping."
I don't know which woman couldn't help but sob, and with the blue moonlight scattered to the earth, the sadness spread like a plague, and there was an instant cry outside the barn. On the contrary, those who were infected were able to control their emotions and comfort their families loudly, but this seemed to have the opposite effect, and the crying was louder.
Feren and his three Avengeance Legion soldiers shook their heads vigorously to dispel the panicked cries, and their eyes widened as they looked at the people tied to the ground, their faces a little hideous.
In the eastern sky, due to the obstruction of the Alterac Mountains, the blue moon came belatedly, but it finally climbed up and hung above the mountain range, and the wolf howls in the west became more and more, one after another, and the atmosphere became more and more strange.
When the first blue moon light reached the barnyard, the crying suddenly stopped, and everyone covered their mouths and stared at the infected. In front of everyone's eyes, the villagers' bodies began to stiffen, unable to speak, a layer of gray hair appeared on their skin, and two pairs of fangs began to slowly extend outward in their wide open mouths.
"No!" Screams suddenly rang out, and some people began to cry and rush into the barn.
"Stop them!" Fei Lun was so anxious that he yelled, and the old village chief hurriedly led the people to drive the villagers out, but more and more villagers lost control of their emotions, and their weak defense line was instantly rushed away.
At that moment, there was a hurried sound of horses' hooves, and it was Djoka who arrived on a black cloud. She rushed to the villagers, turned over and dismounted, blocked the way, knelt on the ground, bowed her head deeply, and cried: "All this is my fault, you can kill me, but now, everyone really can't go over."
After shouting, Zhuoka raised his head, knelt straight to the villagers with tears streaming down his face, choked and closed his eyes.
"Zhuoka ......" The old village chief wanted to pull up his granddaughter, but after all, he retracted his hand and sat on the ground with his butt in tears.
When the villagers watched this scene, they finally couldn't do anything, and collapsed on the ground and began to cry.
