Chapter Ninety-Eight: Sal's Arrival and Cooking
Thrall helped Taresa out of the carriage and looked at the majestic human city in front of him: Stormwind.
The white walls looked majestic in the sunlight, the huge gates were open, the caravans of people coming in and out, and the occasional detachment of griffin patrols flying through the air proved that the capital city was well defended.
The Valley of Heroes made Sal feel a sense of solemnity and solemnity. Here, only those who have made great contributions to the Alliance and humanity as a whole will stand in the valley in the form of statues. However, at this moment, the position of the statues on both sides is still very empty, and only a statue of Emperor Soladin quietly raises the long sword in his hand and makes an offensive posture.
And in the innermost part, in the center of the end of the Valley of Heroes, stands a huge statue. It was the image of an unusually young human mage. In his hand he held a magnificent giant staff, which was lavishly made entirely of Thorsilver, and the top of the staff was carved with a gemstone eyeball, which radiated a multicolored light. The mage was dressed in a black robe, dotted with endless starry skies and incomprehensible runes. Behind it was a huge disc that also carved runic circuits that shone with magical light, slowly turning.
"This is the Divine Venerable, the embodiment of the mortal world of the god of magic, the founder and guardian of the Alliance, the Dawn of Dawn, the ruler behind the Night Elves, and the Eternal Night God Emperor of the future Dark Night Empire. Sylvanas gestured faintly to Thrall, but the orc was keenly aware of the elf's pride and adoration that she had tried to hide.
"And the founders of the Iron Tribe. Grom rode his undead wolf and answered sullenly. His black wolf was dead before he died in battle, and after Grom was resurrected, he sent someone to dig up the body of his old friend, bring it back, and resurrect it as an undead. The wolf, known as the Tooth of Blood, has skyrocketed in power since becoming an undead, both in terms of his greatly increased speed and the fanged claws inflamented with plague toxins, which are a great help to Grom.
Upon entering the city, Thrall saw many orcs wandering the streets in full gear, some even hooking up with humans, talking and laughing. Although Grom had told him all of this, Sal was still suspicious until he saw it in person. Growing up, he had never had a human other than Taresa give him a good look and real care.
And in this Stormwind City, it seems that it is already the feeling of another world. Humans, orcs, elves, dwarves and gnomes come and go, without any discrimination or racial contradictions against each other. And the most common symbol on their body is the alliance symbol surrounded by vines and a golden lion's head on a blue background. Or an eyeball sign that glows golden.
It seems that under the guidance of these two signs, all races have forgotten their grievances and all kinds of unpleasantness, and have come together to unite into an invincible force.
When will the tribe be like this? What will be the situation of his father's new tribe on the Kalimdor continent? Thrall watched all this silently, but his heart was extremely complicated.
The Royal Quarter is very quiet, it is sparsely populated, and the guards are countless times stricter. At least five or six waves of guards tried to stop them from questioning and interrogating, but when they saw that Sylvanas was leading the way, the guards shrugged their shoulders and gave up. Some of them also smiled and greeted Queen Xi and saluted.
"Good day, Lady Sylvanas, is this the return from a mission?" asked the captain of the guard standing guard in front of the Stormwind Fortress with a smile.
The female ranger also nodded, "Are there any tricky bounties recently, I'll come over tomorrow to take them, it's been a long time since I've been to the Elwyn Forest to comfort those kobolds and fishmen, and I really miss them." ”
"Of course, but you miss them, those kobolds and fishmen hate you and your sisters, haha. ”
The captain said with a laugh as he waved his hand to let him go.
Coming to the corridor of the side hall, the guards here have all been transformed from human royal guards to the children of the night who shimmer with purple arcane light and have become energy symbiotes. Their expressions were indifferent, and their eyes were full of spell rune circuits. The Children of the Night have an eyeball mark carved on their chests that is different from the outside world, proving their identity as the Cult of Truth.
The emblem of the Holy Order is different from the outside, which uses the emblem of the purple Eye of Truth that glows with golden light. The emblem of the Holy Cult Army was a golden flame, and the eyes of the Eye of Truth in the middle were also much sharper and colder, with slightly narrowed eyeballs and sharp energy spikes around them.
Sal clearly sensed that Grom, who was beside him, didn't like the children of the night very much. However, it is not surprising that Sal himself saw these cold, expressionless children of the night for the first time, and his heart also resisted and instinctively wanted to stay away.
Only an existence with a special identity like Sylvanas is still a big grin, leading them on a rampage and no one cares. When the members of the Holy Sect Army saw Queen Xi, they rarely bowed their heads slightly, which was regarded as a salute. Don't blame them for not knowing etiquette, you must know that in the hearts of this group of holy cult soldiers, except for the gods, any other existence is dispensable in their eyes.
And Queen Xi is one of the few people who has gained their respect and recognition, Queen Xi is decisive in killing, ruthless to the enemy, and after performing several missions with the Holy Cult Army, she is very compatible, and the two can be said to have a temper and appetite for each other.
"Is Hu Feng in there?" Queen Xi casually asked a Child of the Night of the Holy Cult.
The latter nodded slightly, "The master is inside, Lady Sylvanas." And also... No matter how many times I say it, I will warn you to stop calling your master by his disguised name, please call him the god Sarodhar. ”
"Okay, okay, I know, a big man cares about this all day! Hu Feng wants to see this green-skinned orc and this human woman, and Grom wants to report on the military situation, so I took them in. Queen Xi waved her hand casually, led the three of them to push open the door and walked in. The Child of the Night behind him had a headache, why did Lady Sylvanas disobey her so much?
"I'm back!" cried out Queen Nozomi as she entered.
Aurelia was sitting in the hall, grimacing as she read a pamphlet that was a recipe given to her by the panda man Lao Chen, and the elf wanted to learn how to cook for her lover herself.
Hearing her sister's voice, Aurelia looked up and looked at the group that had entered.
"Be quiet, Winnesa is sleeping next door. Hu Feng is inside, you guys go in, I have to continue to study these complex recipes. Don't these panda people have a simpler way to cook? The recipe for these foods is as incomprehensible as the martial arts of their warrior monks!"
Queen Xi nodded approvingly.
"So I've given up, it's better to leave the cooking to my sister. ”
