Skipping a small chop, a fallen leaf fell on Karina's blonde hair.

"Damn, why is this leaf so wet."

Karina frowned and complained, picking up the leaves with her hands and tossing them aside.

"Probably from last night's dew, plus the humid climate near the ocean."

Kael'thas replied with a smile that it wasn't a gathering of fallen leaves, and if it hadn't been stained with a lot of water, the leaves wouldn't have been blown off by the wind.

A light breeze blows in the forest, carrying with it humid air.

This is below the Silverpine Forest, near the edge of the Endless Sea, before reaching the Wall of Greymane.

After leaving the Hillsbrad Hills from Lake Lordanmere, the Kael'thas had intended to head north through the Silver Pines Forest to the shelter in Lordaeron.

But on the way, they came across a closed mountain, where Lordaeron's soldiers were sweeping down the northern part of the Silver Pines Forest.

From the passing merchants, they learned the reason for the action: an important orc had escaped from prison.

But for Lordaeron to carry out such a large-scale sweep, Kael'thas has already guessed who the orc is, and only that orc, Orgrim, would make humans so cautious.

At the end of the Orc War, Orgrim was defeated by Tulayan and imprisoned in Lordaeron, but his escape was expected by Kael'thas.

However, the actions of the humans also made Kael'thas and their plan of action come to naught, and they had to walk down to avoid searching.

"By the way, Karina, you're familiar with the Silverpine Forest?"

The ones in charge of leading the way are Kael'thas and Karina, who know the way because she had been here for a long time in her previous life, but Karina is no stranger than him.

"Oh, I've lived here for a while."

Karina replied with a smile, her face naturally kind.

Kael'thas believed.

"We had already made the road in the middle of the night last night, and we should have distanced ourselves from the soldiers."

Thrall looked at Teresa with some concern, and suggested:

"Can you take a break?"

Karina thought for a moment.

"Let's go a little longer, and rest at the border in Gilnehs."

She pointed to the south and smiled:

"I heard that Gilneth had built something amazing and wanted to check it out."

Ever since Gilneth seceded from the Union, it had begun to build a huge wall to isolate the country, which is now in place.

【Wall of Greymane】

Kael'thas was also interested in going over and having a look.

On the way, he began to tell Sal the story of Gilneth and the Alliance, and told him what the Wall of Greymanne was.

"Why do you know so well?"

Thrall felt that Kael'thas was going into too much detail, so he wondered why.

Although he knew that Kael'thas was a High Elf, he did not know his identity.

“”

Kael'thas was stunned for a moment, but he replied in a deep voice:

"I've fought in orc wars."

He was curious to see how Sal would react, but Sal didn't have any extra emotion on his face except for a momentary surprise.

"Don't you hate me? I'm the one who killed so many of your people. ”

Kael'thas asked with interest.

"I'm not familiar with my people, but I know they're invaders, so I can't hate you just because you've fought orc wars."

If Thrall were in Kael'thas shoes, he would also be in the fight.

Rather than guessing, Thrall trusted Kael'thas in the kindness he had always shown him, and he didn't believe that the elf was a bad person. On the other hand, Kael'thas was able to maintain his friendship with him as an orc after participating in the battle, much to Thrall's admiration.

Forgiveness is much harder than hatred.

"If everyone thought like you, there would be no war in this world."

Kael'thas smiled wryly at Sal's words.

"Can you tell me something about the war?"

Thrall suddenly looked up at Kael'thas :

"I want to know more."

He wanted to know what the orcs had done, how many people had been harmed, and why they had caused so much hostility among so many races.

Thrall also wanted to remember these things and look at everything that had come before him with the right attitude.

"Okay."

Kael'thas nodded in agreement, he did know better than most the causes and consequences of war. Kael'thas wasn't worried that his words would anger Sal, because what he said was the truth.

Thrall may lose faith in his people, but that doesn't matter.

The future tribal leader will surely learn much older things from the shaman of the Frostwolf Clan, as well as the glory and dignity of the orcs in the past.

The fall of the orcs is the cause of the demons, and the demons are the ones they should really hate.

Keep heading south, and soon you'll see a continuous stream of black shadows in the distance.

Those shadows are clearly not mountains.

"That's the Wall of Greymane?"

Even though he couldn't see it because of the distance, even Thrall knew what it was.

"yes, that's the Wall of Greymane."

Kael'thas nodded, with some sighs:

"It's only been a few years to build such a huge wall, it's really a country to be reckoned with."

Gilneth is rumored to be a powerful country and pursues a policy of isolation, and this wall shows its strength.

But Kael'thas only felt pity.

A wall that allowed Gilneth to keep the territory intact in several wars, but it also caused more tragedy.

"Woo-"

At this time, the leopard that Teresa was riding suddenly let out a low roar.

"What's wrong?"

Karina frowned and approached the leopard, talking carefully to it.

"What's going on?"

When Karina stood up, Teresa asked her nervously.

"It smells blood."

Karina explained, but was not at all worried:

"It looks like a wolf, so you don't have to mind."

Wolves are one of the most numerous creatures in the Silver Pine Forest, but they pose no threat to the team.

"Let's go and have a look, maybe you'll find today's food."

Kael'thas offered loudly.

Several people followed the leopard into the dense forest.

A few minutes later, the wolf, which had been lying on the ground with snow-white fur, appeared in front of them.

"It looks like I've been caught in a hunter's trap."

Karina's eyes were sharp, and at once she spotted the wolf's bleeding hind legs.

"Whew"

The wolf looked at the four men with a fierce gaze, and it tried to stand up, but suddenly fell down again.

"Looks like it's dying."

Thrall stared, picked up his broadsword and walked towards the wolf.

"What do you want to do?"

Karina immediately stopped him.

"Huh? Isn't it meant to be food? ”

Sal asked, puzzled.

"Wait, I have a better idea."

Karina tells Sal to back off, then walks over to the leopard and tells Teresa to come down.

"Teresa, you go and try to tame that wolf."

Karina commanded her.

Teresa has been training for a while and has mastered how to tame the beast, but her strength is too low.

If a healthy animal can't, then an injured and dying animal is the best choice.

The wolf in front of them now obviously has no power to resist, and it is the best opportunity to experiment, even if it fails, it can be eaten.

"Hey, yes, yes!"

Teresa replied with some nervousness, and then walked in front of the white wolf.

"Be quiet, we'd better take a few steps back."

In order not to disturb Teresa's actions, Karina took the lead and stepped back some distance.

The three of them watched Teresa from afar.

The girl carefully calmed the wolf, and then communicated with it little by little, with a little jerky movements but no mistakes.

"Will it work?"

Sal asked Karina with some concern.

"Looks like it should be fine."

Karina carefully observed the wolf's reaction and explained:

"The wolf resisted very little."

And as she said, after more than ten minutes, Teresa succeeded.

As they walked over, they could see Teresa crouching on the ground, happily touching the wolf.

"I can feel it listening to me."

She said this, and then felt a little distressed:

"But it can't move, can we cure it?"

After the hunter tames a pet, the pet will never betray its owner unless it is discarded by himself, so it is only natural to treat the white wolf.

But now there are few people who don't know how to treat, the white wolf is too seriously injured, and ordinary herbs are not of much use.

"I know there's a burning wood village up ahead, maybe we can go inside and see if there's a veterinarian."

Karina suggested.

The offer sent a shiver down the sleeve of Kael'thas.

Burning Wood Village, which is a very famous place in the game, is no different from other places during the day. But when the moon rises, the villagers inside will turn into beastly werewolves, and they will roam the forest and kill everything they come across.

In his previous life, when Kael'thas first came to the Silver Pine Forest, he had slaughtered the werewolves in the village at night, and then he had come here to shop during the day. In the first few days, he was unfamiliar with the road, and even thought that there were two villages here, but later he realized that it was not very comfortable to come over for a while.

[It's okay, anyway, the curse of the werewolf hasn't come yet.] 】

Kael'thas comforted himself, then managed to rescue Teresa's wolf and made a stretcher for him with some pieces of wood and vines.

"Let's carry it over first."

Together, he and Sal carefully placed the wolf on a stretcher and walked towards the village of Burning Wood.

Of course, when he was about to arrive, Thrall was left outside, leaving the other three people into the Burning Wood Village.

The area where Burnt Wood Village is located in the southernmost part of the Silver Pine Forest originally belonged to Gilneis, but after the establishment of the Wall of Greymane, this area has secretly become the land of Lordaeron.

Kael'thas and the others failed to find a veterinarian in the village of Burning Wood, but they met a priest of the Church of the Light who promised to heal the wolf.
