Chapter 342: Parting

Under the bright moonlight, the snowfields look beautiful and cold.

Kael'thas stood outside the Frostwolf Clan camp and waited for Thrall's arrival - the orc had successfully integrated into his clan, and it was time for Kael'thas to leave.

He couldn't wait to find Medivan for answers.

But before that, he needs to do one more thing.

Tiny footsteps rang out, and Kael'thas turned to see Thrall, who was approaching with a snow-white frostwolf.

The best companions of the Frostwolf Clan are the Frostwolves, strong wolves who will form a friendship with an orc of their own choosing, a better companion than a hunter's pet, and will accompany their master for the rest of their lives - unless one of them dies.

One night, Kael'thas saw the wolf choose Thrall: it walked out of the pack and walked up to Thrall and lay down.

The people of the Frostwolf Clan seem to be able to communicate with their own Frostwolf, whose name is Snow Song, its own original name.

"You already know who I am, do you?"

As Thrall approached, Kael'thas swept his eyes over the frostwolves, then at the orcs.

"Well, Drektar already told me."

Nodding, Sal replied that he was now certain that he would inherit his father's position, and that the old shaman was not hiding anything from him.

"Are you leaving?"

Thrall asked Kael'thas a question, but there was a certainty in his blue eyes that he had expected it.

"Yes."

Kael'thas tightened his clothes, then chuckled softly:

"I'll leave tomorrow morning, what are you going to do?"

He paused, then added:

"What do you want to do with Teresa?"

That's what Kael'thas really wants to know.

Theresa's story begins in the middle and leads to another chapter, but this one is not easy to deal with.

There is nothing more difficult about the relationship between orcs and humans.

Thrall, who had already studied and grown up in this clan, could not have known what kind of hostility the orcs had towards humans, and what choice would he make now?

"Uhhhhhh

Frostwolf rubbed his body against Thrall's feet, as if waiting for his answer.

"Snow Song..."

Thrall bent down to touch it, and then whispered:

"You'll have company."

He then looked up at Kael'thas:

"I'll go with you tomorrow, I'm going to take Teresa over."

A decision that never changed.

Kael'thas looked into Sal's eyes and felt a little admiration.

He didn't say anything more, saving it for tomorrow.

After daybreak, Kael'thas said goodbye to Drektar, and Thrall briefly left the clan with him.

The old shaman had already heard the story of Sal when he was a child, and he knew that Sal couldn't let go of the girl, so although he sighed with some regret, he didn't stop the two of them.

Kael'thas walked back with Sal and called Karina out.

As soon as they met, Teresa was a little worried and asked Sal for warmth.

Kael'thas didn't stop the two men until they calmed down, and then he told Thrall about it.

Teresa cried under her breath.

But it wasn't crying for Sal to pick her up, it was crying for separation.

"No, I can't..."

She shook her head with tears in her eyes:

"I can't go back with you."

After understanding everything, Teresa was reluctant to return to the Frostwolf Clan with Thrall, no matter who persuaded her.

"Sal you are different from me, I have felt since I was a child, you will be a hero..."

In the prison where she lived, Thrall had eyes that were completely different from the others, and Teresa watched them go from hazy to wise - they were never tainted.

[This person is different. 】

Teresa understands this, and because of this, she can always be accepted by Sal for being ugly.

"You should do what you want to do and achieve your dreams."

She touched Sal's face with trembling hands and forced a smile:

"I don't want to be the one to tie your wings, so let me go..."

"I'll wait for you."

Teresa's eyes became gentle and full of pleading:

"The moment you're free, can we be together again?"

For a while, the few people left were uncontrollable.

"Maybe that's not bad."

Kael'thas said before Thrall could speak:

"I can settle Teresa first, and Sal can go about your business."

"Even if your dreams are out of reach..."

He turned his head slightly, smiled softly, and said:

"In a few years, you might be able to have enough strength to pick her up."

Thrall and Teresa are still young, and this orc is only more than 15 years old, so there is no need to think about these things for the time being.

Kael'thas analyzed it carefully with Sal, and he thought it was too dangerous to meet Teresa now.

Thrall has not yet become a chieftain, or even has a power of his own, and the presence of a human can destroy everything he has so hard to obtain.

Karina and Kael'thas share the same idea.

For half a day, Sal reluctantly gave up the idea of taking Teresa.

Kael'thas gives Sal a scroll to connect with.

"This scroll can contact me a few times, and I'll get Teresa to a safe place."

As he was leaving, Kael'thas told Sal:

"If you want to pick her up in a few years, contact me."

He chartered a carriage and left the remote village with Karina and Teresa.

But after half an hour of carriage travel, Sal came out of the forest on his wolf again.

"Teresa, I'll pick you up!"

"I'm not anyone's effort, so I won't listen to anyone..."

He followed the road and shouted:

"No matter what others want me to do, I'll pick you up!"

At this time, Teresa in the carriage began to weep.

Kael'thas looked at the crying girl and suddenly felt a little sad.

[Will one day, I be able to treat a girl wholeheartedly? 】

He couldn't see the answer.

Karina was right, she couldn't return to her original posture after a long disguise.

Since Kaelsala's death, Kael'thas has abandoned his personal dreams and impulses little by little, and it has been difficult for him to return to his original self.

Perhaps only when true peace comes, can he love such a person.

Thrall's voice quickly died down, and the carriage headed south from Alterac before returning to the Hillsbrad Hills.

"I'm leaving, too."

Karina stopped the car here and said goodbye to Kael'thas and the two with a smile.

This is something that has been known for a long time.

"Where's your home?"

Kael'thas asked her with a hint of sadness, but didn't do much to hold back.

For him, this huntress can only be regarded as a companion who has met and lived together for a while, and it does not mean much.

I won't see it again in my life...

"My home is far away."

Karina smiled perfunctorily, then raised an eyebrow.

"It's not easy to get acquainted, and it's not good to be separated like this."

She stared intently at Kael'thas:

"Aren't we going to have a hug?"

This bold statement stunned Kael'thas for a moment.

"No, I guess it's better to forget it..."

He had heard that there were humans in this world who had this custom, and although he was a little unrighteous towards Karina, Kael'thas was still not interested in it.

"Oh, you're so sure?"

Karina had a strange look on her face—a mischievous look.

"I was going to give you something, but it looks like you don't want it either..."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand, and out of nowhere, pulled out a delicate dagger, startling Kael'thas.

The appearance of this dagger is familiar.

"The name of this dagger seems to be Infinity Blade..."

Karina smiled a little hatefully.

She had gone with Kael'thas to look for weapons, and of course she knew what he was looking for.

"When did you get it?"

Kael'thas asked a little unwillingly.

"Hmm... Just the last time you left, Teresa and I were hanging out in the Arathi Heights. ”

Karina explained with a smile:

"Do you want it?"

"If you want, hug me."

Typical seduction, but she believes Kael'thas won't refuse.

No, I should say that no man would refuse...

A beautiful woman hugs you and gives you something, you don't need to pay anything except for a little bit, what man would refuse?

The rejection is certainly not normal...

Kael'thas did the same, and he and Karina hugged each other gently.

"Remember this feeling, we'll see you again later."

Karina pinched Kael'thas on the arm slightly, then parted casually.

Kael'thas was stunned to remember the sentence.

But what's even stranger about him is that familiarity...

"Here you go."

Karina interrupted his thoughts by throwing the dagger at Kael'thas before waving her hand to leave.

"Wait."

Teresa stopped her, then asked, looking at a pair of still damp eyes:

"How can you do that, you're still..."

She stopped without saying anything.

Karina's hand blocked her mouth.

"That's it."

Karina knew that Teresa wanted her to confess, but it was impossible and the situation was not suitable.

"Don't worry about me, I have a way."

Her smile was as confident as ever, and every time she showed it, Karina never failed.

Teresa could see that the smile wasn't fake.

[Does she have any other methods?] 】

Professionals and civilians don't think the same, because they have always gotten along, and Teresa can only believe Karina's words.

Karina is not like her, this huntress is capable enough to pursue what she wants.

So Teresa didn't say anything more, and said goodbye to Karina with Kael'thas.

The two men continued on their way.

"Where are we going?"

On the way, Teresa asked a little uneasy.

"A beautiful place."

Kael'thas replied simply.
