Chapter 31: The Winter Curtain
A few months after the end of the Luna Festival, Cadore was at peace. The word war was forgotten for a while, and with the arrival of the winter moon, the Winter Veil Festival gradually approached. Although not as large and formal as the Moon God Festival, the Winter Veil Festival is also a favorite festival for many Cadore. The Winter Veil Festival is not as ceremonious and solemn as the Moon God Festival, and it is the first more relaxed and pleasant festival that was passed down from the Minotaurs; As a result, humans followed suit and this festival became the biggest day in Azeroth.
The term "Winter Veil Festival" is derived in many cultures from a supernatural thing: Grandpa Winter. He will appear all over the world at the end of the year, and with it will be a bitter cold wind. His awakening means that the earth will be shrouded in snow, so some people say that it was Grandpa Winter who covered the earth with a winter curtain. Although the continent of Azeroth is covered in snow, it is pregnant with rebirth and the beginning of new life. The dwarves are always keen to seek the secret of their origins, and they will celebrate this season as a tribute to Grandpa Winter. They are an incarnation of the Titans of the ancient continent of Azeroth, who claim that the blood of those mysterious creatures runs in their veins, and the dwarves who inhabit the snowy city of Danmoro rightfully believe that they have been blessed by Grandpa Winter.
The Minotaurs understand winter with their shamanic consciousness and druidic beliefs, and understand the legend of the Winter Veil Festival. Their primary focus is on updating their knowledge, however, in their view, other races simply worship the legend rather than pay more attention to its contents. Many minotaurs choose this time to express their gratitude for being able to find a new home in Mogore. Other civilizations began to realize that the Winter Veil was a celebratory holiday, although some traditions were not exactly the same as the legends suggested. Customers don't think much about the origin of the festival itself, all they care about is that they can celebrate and exchange gifts during the festival, which is the custom of the Winter Veil Festival nowadays.
The arrival of the Winter Veil Festival has given a new look to the somewhat dull Cabreath of the past, and the roads are carefully decorated; Even the statues were garlanded to add to the festive atmosphere, and Moon Shadow couldn't help but feel a little more relaxed as she stood on the stargazing tower overlooking her city. At this time, Angel and Lisa also brought eggnog and gingerbread. These are all essential foods for the Winter Veil Festival. Moon Shadow motioned for the two of them to sit down, thinking that it had been many years since they had eaten together in such a calm manner. Things in the world are unpredictable, and even if Moon Shadow knows the direction of some history and has the strength of a demigod, it won't help. A change in one thing like the butterfly effect may lead to large-scale changes in the future, not to mention that the current Moon Shadow has changed history to a certain extent; So there is no way to predict the future.
"Have you ever been to the Black Coast again, I've heard that the former people have gone back and rebuilt the Moon Shadows." After taking a sip of eggnog, Moon Shadow asked, and slowly turned her gaze to the west; The Black Sea witnessed the first half of his life. There are countless memories there; But the more this happened, the more he didn't dare to go back, there were also many memories of him and Mavi.
"I've heard about it, but we've never been back; For us, where you are, host, is our home. Lisa smiled slightly and glanced at Angel, her face filled with happiness; Looking at the two of them, Moon Shadow's eyes fluttered slightly. For this gentle elf, she is everything, and over the years everything has become habit and need; For these Moon Shadows, I can't help but feel a little heavier.
"Well, it's not a good day, but I have a gift for you. Lisa. With that, Moon Shadow stood up. Reaching out and gently picking up a strand of her hair. Lisa's face was indifferent and slightly curious, as long as it was given by Moon Shadow, she would like it very much. The faint body fragrance came, and Moon Shadow was slightly fascinated by her eyes, and then asked, "In the endless years to come, are you still willing to accompany me like this forever?" ”
"Do you need to ask? Naturally, I would like the master. Even if Mount Hyjal will one day be wiped out by a strong wind, I will always follow you as long as I live, until you don't want me. Lisa's words were categorical, and she thought that Moon Shadow was doubting her loyalty, so she immediately got up from her seat and knelt down.
"Thank you." Moon Shadow glanced at Angel with a knowing smile, then turned her gaze back to Lisa; Then a burst of light began to light up all over his body. Then a bright light poured into Lisa's ears and body, and Lisa only felt that a large amount of energy was rushing in to make her a little breathless; It's as uncomfortable as drowning. She couldn't help but scream. Until the light finally dissipated, it dissolved into Lisa's body. Angel looked at Lisa's face with a slight joy, this scene she had experienced before. But there was something crazy about the Lunaris spirit that time; The frenzied energy made her feel as if she had been raped. But she also knew what Moon Shadow meant. It was because of this that she survived, and the little family in his mind was resurrected again.
"This is," Lisa got up and felt a little incredible, her whole body full of strength; It was as if he had been born again. Seeing the success of the ceremony, Moon Shadow smiled, Angel rushed up and hugged Lisa with an excited expression, Moon Shadow said that his blessing could make people never die while he was alive, she would naturally be happy for Lisa, and hurriedly explained: "This is the master's blessing." Now you're just like me. There will be enough strength to help the master in the future. ”
"Thank you Master for giving us strength." Angel and Lisa saluted Moon Shadow again, and Moon Shadow shook her head and helped them to their feet. He had never treated these two people as subordinates, and in his mind it was more of a sister and a younger sister-like feeling; It's just that he didn't say it explicitly, and the two naturally understood; A lot of things don't need to be explained.
In the far north, in winter it is an endless night; The light is colorful. Brilliant, red, orange, yellow and green, ever-changing. Sometimes like strings of glittering pearls, skimming the sky; Sometimes it looks like a band of glitter, stretching across the sky; Sometimes it is like a brilliant curtain that hangs down to the sky. This kaleidoscopic and captivating landscape can only be enjoyed in Northrend.
"It seems that everything is late, Moon Shadow's movements seem to have a great effect, and Yugsaron's aura is already obvious." At the top of the storm, the cold wind mixed with snowflakes eroded everything. A thin figure on the top of the mountain flickered slightly, and its black hair trembled in the cold wind. This person is the sword spirit Yue Yin, and his current position is above Ulduar; His eyes were fixed on the temple, and he shook his head slightly. He expected that Moon Shadow would have problems using a wide range of forbidden magic, so he made a trip to the North Pole as fast as he could, but nothing could keep up.
At that moment, a portal opened, and a silver-haired elf dressed in silver robes walked out. The moment he came out, his green eyes locked towards the sword spirit Yue Yin, and the person who came was naturally Moon Shadow, the king of Kadore; He naturally thought about the consequences of what he had done, so he had to come and see where the defenses of the Far North were the weakest.
"Why are you here?" Moon Shadow looked at the sword spirit and narrowed her eyes slightly, and asked.
"Do you feel it? You've gone a little too far this time. The Sword Spirit looked at Moon Shadow, and Moon Shadow looked at him; He broke the silence with a word.
"I naturally have my own principles in doing things, so you don't have to worry about it." Speaking of which, Moon Shadow was slightly angry, no one dared to dictate his actions for many years; The Sword Spirit's words made him extremely angry.
"I know what you think, but there are other species in this world, each with its right to live; You're already a demigod, think about it. Sword Spirit snorted coldly and shook his head, he knew he couldn't convince Moon Shadow. Just like he couldn't convince himself, Moon Shadow was born of his inner obsession, and naturally he wouldn't be easily shaken.
"Other races, what do they have to do with me? I am the king of the Kadore, not the king of the peoples. Moon Shadow also snorted coldly, although the words of the sword spirit made sense; But in this scenario, he could not compromise with the other side. And he could feel that the other party had enough power to threaten him.
"I'm just here to see, you have my memories and know a lot of things. With your help, Yugsaron's threat has manifested itself in advance, so it's better to think about it sooner. Sword Spirit said as he turned around and prepared to leave, he wasn't angry at Moon Shadow's attitude, but it was useless to talk too much now.
"Wait." Just as the sword spirit was about to leave, Moon Shadow shouted to stop him, and the sword spirit bit his lip slightly, and his eyes were a little more vigilant. He squinted slightly and asked, "What else is going on?" Are you going to do it with me? ”
"I just want to ask, why did you save me last time in Deep Rock Continent? Don't say any life-threatening jokes, I'm already a demigod with some knowledge. Moon Shadow said as he stared at the Sword Spirit, something he couldn't figure out; The sword spirit disappeared for nearly 10,000 years, but suddenly appeared in the Deep Rock Continent to help, but he was not easy.
"Hehe, what's wrong with this? I love the world of Azeroth too much, and I won't let it be destroyed. The Sword Spirit smiled slightly, turned and walked into the portal; Moon Shadow looked at his back and didn't stop him, although the answer was slightly different from what he thought, but at least he could convince him. (To be continued.) )
PS: I'll speed up the progress recently, otherwise I don't feel like it will be finished before the Spring Festival
