The airship that had come from afar had been allowed to land in Stormwind, and instead of replying, they came directly. Gianna, a woman, still knows what to do.

Varian didn't arrange any grand welcome ceremony, after all, there was no reply, and their arrival seemed to be expected by Varian.

Varian showed the enthusiasm he should have as a landlord, which was very different from the other day when he was in Theramore, and Egwene was still dressed in that attire, and when I met her, she had a faint smile on her face.

The dinner was not as grand as expected, except that several important generals and some dukes were invited, but Deria's father, Duke Leskova, was not among them.

Varian asked me to join me at the table, which I wanted to decline but he insisted on. Some of those old faces had surprised expressions on their faces when they saw me, but what could I say? After a brief greeting I sat at the end of the long table, and next to me was Valeera, who accompanied the little prince Anduin.

The food of the king's house was indeed good, and I chose to fill my stomach first, while the nobles who were accustomed to eating the delicacies of the mountains and the sea were not so enthusiastic about these meals, they only ate symbolically, and more often toasted the two noble ladies with wine glasses.

During the feast, Varian explained his thoughts to Gianna in detail and the current situation, and they were all surprised when they heard that the Dark Gate was open again, even more surprised when they heard that the expeditionary force was not completely wiped out and that no one was still alive, and the expression on Egwen's face suddenly became serious when they heard that Khadgar was still alive. But Gianna didn't react so strongly when she heard the news.

I expected Varian to tell the two ladies about the current Night Elves, but Varian didn't say a word about it until the banquet was over. And interestingly, Varian only understated that the Night Elves had sent some troops when he told about the Dark Gate opening again, and that Bolvar had also sent a helping force to the other side of the Dark Gate before he returned to Stormwind, without much fanfare.

During the feast, Bolval didn't say much, most of it was Varian talking to the two ladies, and the two archmages finally put down the dishes and stopped eating.

The feast ended much quicker than I expected, and in the end Varian expressed his wish to know what was going on on the tribe's side and why Galana had reappeared.

Gianna was not familiar with the name Garona, she didn't know what the details of this orc were, and Egwene didn't seem to have explained these things to Gianna. She curiously asked about Garona, but Varian didn't tell her everything, and I don't think Varian knows more about Garona than I do.

When I knocked on the door of Egwen's room, I found it unlocked, and she was leaning against the window and looking out. She didn't look at me when I walked in, but still looked out the window.

I closed the door and walked over to her, and the night view of Stormwind was out the window, and the night view of the city from this tower was really beautiful. The evening breeze blew in through the window, blowing her long hair, and the refreshing fragrance made my heart flutter a little.

She turned to look at me, but there was a hint of sadness in her deep, gentle eyes.

"What's wrong?" I reached out and stroked her face. She didn't dodge, her face pressed slightly against my hand. Seeing this, I reached out to take her into my arms, and when she reached out and held my ribs, she reached out and held my ribs.

She looked up at me. "Not really." She said.

"You seem a little unhappy, what do you remember?" I looked into her eyes, but she turned her face out of the window again.

"It's changed a lot." She said.

"You used to ......," I was about to say something, but I stopped, so I changed my mouth and said, "Well, it has changed a lot. ”

She smiled and seemed to sigh softly, "Varian is hiding a lot of things tonight, right?" ”

"Why do you think that?" I smiled too, let go of my hand, and leaned against the window.

"What the hell are the Night Elves doing in the Outlands? Varian didn't make it clear, as an ally, and as a king, he couldn't possibly not know, was it that he didn't want to say it or couldn't say it? Other than that...... Your king has hidden more about Garona. She said slowly.

"What do you do when you talk so much during the banquet, eating is eating." I squinted at Egwen.

"No, not only does your king not trust the tribe, he doesn't trust Gianna either." Egwene gave me a look.

"Normal!" I casually said, "After all, there was an assassination in Gianna's territory, and there were orcs and ogres, and this Garona was a repeat offender. ”

"I'm also curious why this woman is still alive." Egwen said.

"After killing Varian's father, she followed the tribe all the way to the north, and when did she lose it...... I forgot, it seems to have been at the end of the Northern War. I said.

"Even if your king doesn't invite us, I'd like to meet this woman." Egwen said.

"How?" I'm a little curious.

"She has a lot of secrets." She looked at me and said.

Madisvan...... There seems to be something with her. ”

Egwene lowered his eyes and fell silent.

The weather the next day was not very good, the sun was not bright at all. Varian didn't meet with the two of them again, but took the two directly to the wizard park in Stormwind City, where the magicians left behind by Dalaran and their apprentices, and as the orthodox of Dalaran and the heir of the great magician Antonidas, Gianna's appearance also made the magicians here very excited.

After a short period of contact and condolences, the prisoner van escorting Karona also arrived.

Under the watchful eyes of dozens of royal guards, Garona was dragged out of the prison cart, and she was carried into the hall by four men without touching her feet.

The floor of the hall had been rearranged with a circle, and a large group of mages gathered around it. After fixing Garona to a wooden shelf, the entire wooden shelf was carried into the center of the circle. Two magicians were chosen as assistants, and their cage niches began to circle around the circle, and the smoke began to fill around the circle as they walked.

Egwen and Gianna stood beside Garona, and the two of them sat on the floor and put their hands on Garona's head. Garona's head and neck were immobilized, and she couldn't move even as the orc roared.

The ritual began, and the orc came to an abrupt halt with a half-howl at the end, her entire body visibly stiffening and stiffening at once. Her wide-eyed eyes and gap-open mouth showed that she had been controlled by the two of them.

The two assistants continued to circle around the circle, and soon I felt that the air seemed to thicken, and the smoke that came out of it drifted into the circle as if it had been frozen by something, which was very different from the last time.

Gradually, there was more and more smoke in the magic circle, just like the fog in the early morning of autumn, and gradually the three people in the magic circle were shrouded, and after being shrouded in smoke, there would be occasional flashes of light inside, and Garona's body would occasionally writhe a few times, and there were a few times when Garona let out a heart-rending cry, startling the unprepared people outside the circle.

Time was ticking, and the ritual had been going on for about four hours, but it was still not over. The faces of the magician's apprentices began to grow a little impatient, and some even began to whisper, and Varian sat aside, and one after another, some generals also stood beside the king and watched patiently.

It wasn't until after noon that the ceremony was over, when it was already afternoon, the sky outside was completely overcast, and suddenly, the smoke in the circle settled directly like the transparent film that wrapped them in an instant, and then dripped.

Smoke filled the floor until it covered the floor of the entire hall. The three people in the middle of the circle didn't change much, Gianna staggered to her feet, and I rushed straight up to help Egwen, who was trying to stand up.

"It's fine." She said with some difficulty. But by this time her face was already pale.

After helping her to sit in the chair, Gianna's face was also sallow, and it seemed that this ritual consumed a lot of energy. Varian looked at her face, and she waved her hand and said, "Let's talk somewhere else!" ”

Garona, who was still unconscious, was carried away by the guards directly with the shelf. The king, on the other hand, directly asked to help the two magicians down to rest first, and the matter of the meeting will be discussed tomorrow.

All the magicians and apprentices whispered, and the expressions on their faces were even more varied, and some of them even glanced at them with a little disdain.

I sat in front of Egwen's bed and held her hand, I don't know if it was an illusion, she seemed to have aged a lot as she lay on the bed. She slept until midnight before waking up, and she woke up not to wake up but to wake up. She looked at me in horror and was sweating all over her head.

"Nightmare?" I asked with concern.

She stared at me for a few seconds, and then went limp.

I tried to cast some light spells to give her some power, but she pulled her hand back.

"How?" Her movements made me feel a little uncomfortable.

She didn't speak, but stared at the roof for a few moments before she spoke, "I want water." ”

"It's a nightmare, isn't it?" I helped her up and put the water to her mouth.

After a drink, she turned to look at me, "Where's Gianna?" ”

"I don't know, I've always been here." I say.

"We should both see the same thing." She swallowed, "Something terrible is going to happen!" The world may be in real danger! ”

"What do you see?"

When she heard this, she looked at me and the way she looked at me suddenly made me feel so strange.
