Chapter 342: Children's Day

More than four months have passed since the Ulduar crisis was resolved. After the coalition forces from the expedition set foot in Northrend, in a short period of time, the two ancient gods were completely ended, and now only Enzos, the living ancient god, is left in the entire Azeroth, in addition to it, there is also a living Ascha on the continent of Pandaria waiting to be resurrected, but in this timeline, even the living ancient gods are difficult to protect themselves, and a dead Ashaji has no chance to make waves.

After Yugsaron's death, its corpse quickly necrogenized and decayed, so that many places in Northrend collapsed and earthquakes, and many cracks and depressions formed on the ground.

This is just one of the costs to be paid for winning the war.

This is the 24th year since the Dark Gate was opened. It has been four years since Jiang Weihan set foot on the land of Hinterland.

The last remnants of the Scourge have recently been purged of the Scourge and the Lich King Arthas has fallen;

The Burning Legion's invasion ended with the death of Akmund, and while Kil'Gardan was still planning the next invasion, it was far less threatening than the one he had when Akmund arrived;

The "Austro-nuclear war" came to a successful conclusion, and Malygos regained his consciousness and resumed his duties as a "weaver";

The Nightmare Crisis is also resolved by Shun, and Harvey is completely dead;

After the Twilight's hammer was devastated, the cult's activities have gone almost completely underground, and the various forces of Azeroth are intensifying their hunt for the remnants and further purging them of the cultists;

The second "Battle of the Quicksands" didn't even really break out. The Zermen Empire was completely buried along with their god, the Thousand-Eyed Demon Cthun;

Coupled with the death of Yugsaron, there is no real threat to the lands of Azeroth.

Four years of chaotic warfare. After countless wars and ruins, the world finally ushered in temporary peace.

β€”β€”

Jiang Weihan said goodbye to Almansour at the stargazing platform. Temporarily dismissed the idea of opening the Elemental Plane Seal immediately.

It's all well and good to chase after victory, but once the Elemental Plane is opened, no one knows how much damage Deathwing, along with the four Elemental Lords, and possibly even a Colorful Dragon, will cause.

The earth has suffered too much. The Burning Legion's evil flames have burned almost the entire Eastern Kingdom, and most of Kalimdor is desolate, and the earthquake and tsunami caused by Cthun's death have left the land that many farmers have worked so hard to cultivate almost nothing.

If the food crisis is not addressed, it can be even more dangerous than other catastrophes.

People need to recuperate, at least to recover from famine.

Today is Children's Day in Azeroth, a festival for children. But the big guys weren't in the mood to celebrate.

In order to solve the famine, the leaders of various races and forces have become anxious. I heard that there will be good news today, that the think tank of Valoran head Jiang Weihan has drawn up a "package" to deal with the famine, which will be announced at today's meeting.

Pearl City attaches great importance to Children's Day, and holiday blessings can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys, with various shops taking advantage of the festival to be greatly discounted, and playgrounds are extremely popular.

With simple laughter on their faces, the children ran from the streets to the alleys to enjoy their festival.

This time, representatives of other forces and countries came in the name of a joint celebration of the holiday. Of course, some superficial work was done.

It was very special to have a few little children on the street. They are very well-dressed and have elegant manners, which makes people know at a glance that they are not ordinary children. If anyone could recognize them all, they would be amazed.

Because all of these children come from extraordinary backgrounds.

These are the children who come to Children's Day celebrations with envoys from all over the world – not all of them. For example, the leader is a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl. She has beautiful straight chestnut hair, a beautiful face, and a darker skin than the average aristocratic girl. The figure looks toned. The hands were not dancing and playing the harp, but hands accustomed to holding weapons.

"Are we almost there? Bridget? Another teenager next to her, who was slightly younger than her, a year or two younger, asked. He was much stronger than the average boy of fifteen or sixteen, and he was tall and tall. It's very sunny and smiling.

"It should be soon, let me ask." The girl was a little unsure.

Pearl City was so big that they walked for almost half an hour, but they still didn't find their destination.

A girl named Bridget found a middle-aged man selling toys and asked, "Hello, sir, how should I go to the 'Pearl Welfare House'?" ”

The toy seller said enthusiastically: "Hello, beautiful young lady, are you going to the welfare house?" Follow this street and turn left at the third intersection! Go to see the orphans? I have a lot of toys that children like, would you like to check them out? ”

Bridget really couldn't refuse, and paid for a few cute-looking dolls.

"Say hello, let's go, it's not far away." Bridget came back and tossed a bag of toys to the Sunshine Boy beside her, "Help me hold it, Darien." ”

Her full name is Bridget. Abydis, her father Alfred. Abidis was the deputy of the High Lord Mograini.

The teenager who helped her with the toys was Darien. Mograini, the youngest son of her father's lord. They grew up together since childhood, have a close relationship, and are childhood sweethearts. Otherwise, ordinary people would not dare to let their lord's son be their follower.

Darien has always regarded Bridice as his sister, and of course he doesn't mind.

Darien's eyes rolled and he separated the doll and handed it to the other child: "Tyran, you can help me with that!" ”

"You're lazy, Darien!" Tyran. Fording glared at him, but took it anyway.

Tyran. Fordin is Tirio. Fording's son, who will be an adult in two monthsβ€”he is as old as Bridget, and because he exercises regularly, he is the tallest of their group.

The group of children behind them is even more noble than the other.

For example, 9-year-old Anduin, the little prince of Stormwind. Ureon. He also followed the crowd. The little prince inherited his father's benevolent and weak side, innocent and kind. It's just that he has a somewhat introverted personality, and his father, King Varian, has always wanted him to look like a man who stands up to the sky. A brave and fearless warrior.

So his cousin was a little disappointed in his father.

Next to Prince Anduin was a short-haired girl, who was close to the little prince, but very distant from the other children.

Her name is Vanessa. Van Cleef, is Edwin. Van Cleve's daughter.

When the Burning Legion invaded two years ago, Stormwind finally chose to reconcile with the leader of the Brotherhood of Defia in order to obtain the ship in Van Cleve's possession.

Until Archbishop Benedictas' true identity is revealed, Varian will never forgive Van Cleeff, the murderer who instigated the Masonry Brotherhood rebellion and killed his wife, Queen Tiffany, but it turns out that everything is Benedictas's secret work. So Varian untied the knot, and took the opportunity to introduce Van Cleef to carry out a purge, killing all the nobles who were found to be involved with Twilight's hammer and themselves corrupted or imprisoned.

In this regard, Varian should even be grateful to Van Cleeff, the former leader of the thieves who has now become the admiral of Stormwind, who has surrendered his intelligence network and assassins. With only the navy in charge, and after integrating MI7 and Defia's elite, Stormwind has become the second largest agent and intelligence unit in the second largest group after the Valoran Federation.

However, Van Cleef's identity has always been criticized, and Vanessa also grew up in an ordinary family. Although she is beautiful, she does not have any aristocratic temperament, nor does she have the so-called upbringing and connotation. Therefore, he has always been ostracized in aristocratic circles.

Only the simple-minded and kind-hearted little prince Anduin doesn't care about her origin at all and is willing to play with her. So Vanessa is only willing to play with the little prince and ignore the other noble children.

This time they came with the legations. On behalf of their respective countries and forces, they visited the Wèn Pearl City Welfare Institute. It's not a formal event, and adults have meetings to go to, so let them go to their destinations on their own.

Although they are noble, they don't have to worry about safety.

Pearl City is almost the safest place in Azeroth, where no one will dare to attack them.

Besides, there have always been people secretly protecting them, but they haven't shown up directly.

Bridget and her party had just walked through two intersections, and before they reached their destination, they saw several children greet them.

Leading the way are two elves, a boy and a girl.

The girl's appearance is very delicate, and her eyes are crystal clear. When she saw them, she took two steps forward, saluted with the horns of her skirts, and saluted, "Excuse me, are they the little guests from the envoys?" ”

"Yes, we came with the legations." Brigitte glanced curiously at the elven children.

The girl and the boy looked like they were fifteen or sixteen years old, but Bridget knew that elves and humans didn't have the same lifespan, and elves who looked fifteen or sixteen years old generally had to multiply their actual age by ten, which meant that it was likely that any of them would be older than Bridt's grandparents combined.

"Hello! I'm Anvina, this is Aratol, let's show you the way! Elf girl Anvena said with a smile.

"That's great!" Bridget blinked.

Unbeknownst to her, though, the two elves were much younger than she had guessed.

Anvena is still only two years old, and she's not even an elf - but the embodiment of the sunwell. After detonating the Sunwell, Crassus used the life essence of the red dragon to condense such a body for Anvina, who was not actually a High Elf.

Arator is also not a pure-blooded elf. His mother was High Elf Ranger General Aurelia. Windranger, but his father is an authentic human, the commander of the expeditionary force, Tulayan. Arator was a half-elf, but he didn't have any obvious human traits on his body - other than growing almost as fast as a human.

They soon arrived at the "Pearl Welfare Home", where more than 2,000 orphans who had lost their parents or were abandoned for various reasons, most of them because of war and disaster, and a few because of disease and hardship.

However, the children here are almost all normal, they are not afraid of strangers, and they do not feel inferior because of their status. Because of Children's Day, children play in groups in the welfare home, and they also organize themselves to do various activities.

"I've been to the orphanage in Stormwind, Vanessa, do you see, these orphans are very different from the children in the orphanage in Stormwind." Although the little prince Anduin is not yet ten years old, he is keenly aware of the differences between the orphans of the two countries.

"What's the difference?" Vanessa asked.

She also saw the difference, but she couldn't say it, and she didn't know how to express it.

She had also seen many orphans who had been displaced, and after her father had occupied the Mines of Death and organized the Brotherhood of Defia, the Wild West had become very unsettled, and many people had been displaced by the confrontation between Stormwind and the Brotherhood, and naturally there were a large number of orphans wandering in the Wild West.

Vanessa had seen orphans snatch food from wild dogs, and turn over dead people's bodies. Some of the children younger than her will do anything to survive.

Fortunately, a qiΔ“ has passed, and she has not seen such a tragic situation for a long time.

"These kids are confident, they don't feel sorry for themselves because they are orphans, they don't seem inferior at all, they are full of energy – I have to write it down!" The little prince Anduin pulled out a small notebook and quickly wrote down what he saw.

He's going to ask someone for the answer, or find out the answer himself.

This was a task given to him by his father, and he himself liked such "homework".

If he learns the method, he might be able to get his father to do the same in Stormwind. After all, the erection of personality has a very great impact on life, and the future achievements of a confident orphan and an orphan with low self-esteem must be very different.

"That's a good point, Anduin!" Vanessa applauded him and praised him from the bottom of her heart.

Anduin smiled shyly, he liked to hear compliments, but his father rarely met his needs and often criticized him.

"Hey, there's a stage over there, are they putting on a show? Let's go, let's take a look! ”

Tyran. Ferding pointed to a stage in the distance, where a group of friends seemed to be acting in a play.

"Let's go, let's go and have a look." Anvina led them over.

On the stage were the most popular children's recent "Amumu and Annie", and the performers were none other than themselves, plus the best supporting actor Timmy.

Anne is Amumu's best friend, and although he later makes a lot of new friends, Anne has a different place in his heart. He wanted to protect Anne.

"Amumu and Annie" is a series of adventures he takes to protect Annie.

Timmy is a supporting character and often plays as a villain boss.

He was also an orphan, but was fortunate enough to be adopted by Bron the "Heart of Freljord" and had a new home in the Valoran Federation.

The children from the Legation came to the stage to watch the play with great interest and listen to Anvina explain the previous story.

Tyran. Ferdin, Bridget. Abydis, Vanessa, Little Prince Anduin, Aratol, Anvina, Timmy...... These children don't know their fate in the classic story, and they naturally don't know what kind of future they are enjoying now. (To be continued......)
