Vanessa is a very assertive person, she has the right idea, she will do whatever comes to her mind, even if I don't agree or don't support it. And the inner world of this girl sometimes does not look like a girl, especially not the world of a little girl, her mental age is more than a little bit older than her actual age. The tenacity and stoicism she showed was definitely not something she could have at her age.

Born in troubled times, her character can allow her to survive better, but at the cost of more unbearable, responsible, and psychological burdens. She will live a very tired life.

Although the vast majority of people in this world are not living well and are very tired, the suffering of people who don't think much about it, especially the mental torture, will be less, and the numbness shown by those who are obedient is not numbness but habit, but self-identification in the heart. If she wants a child from an ordinary family, maybe I can help her. Money, more money. But what she is burdened with is not simply survival, making money, and growing up.

I've always had a hunch that she's definitely not something in the pool, she's definitely not going to just leave it at that, she's definitely going to do something. Now she's not small, even Varian's little gadgets will remember him for the rest of his life when he saw his father killed, Vanessa is much more than Varian back then. The only chance she could forget was that she would go completely insane or die.

If she was a cowardly child, a child who was very unassertive and had no willpower, I wouldn't have bothered, but the reality is that she inherited her father's character very well, and even surpassed it. So I insisted on not teaching her the skills to wield knives and guns. I promised Edwin to take care of her, first to ensure that she could grow up smoothly, safely and healthily, and then get married and have children to live a normal life.

So I changed my mind, I decided to give her a lot of money, even if she developed the habit of spending lavishly, it didn't matter, I wanted her to let go of the past and become an ordinary person. But she would not accept my money, nor the many gifts I gave her. Although I was okay on the surface, I always felt unsure.

I asked James about this, and he said it was nothing, it was just Vanessa's self-preservation. This surprised me, I was her uncle, her only blood relative in this world, I didn't want to hurt her or think about her bad place, what did she protect herself?

James said he understood me, but he also hoped I could understand her. He said that at least the kid hadn't been't bebehaved very rebellious with me, and that it was good that he hadn't run away from home. With his comfort, I acquiesced in my current situation and relationship.

This kind of days passed like this, the information here in Minethil Harbor is very developed, and it is relatively timely, and I feel that the news I got in the tavern is not much later than I know in Stormwind City.

The fall of the Brotherhood of Defia didn't cause much of a stir, which was a bit unexpected by me, but this organization can be regarded as an organization that can have a great impact on the Stormwind Kingdom, but to outsiders, the only thing that can talk about this organization is that it participated in the kidnapping of the king back then. But it didn't take long for this topic to be replaced by another.

As the communication within the alliance continued to deepen, the Night Elves began to appear in the human world, I remember that when the Night Elves appeared here, it really caused a huge sensation, and people who had never seen this kind of world rushed to see the appearance of the elves first, and as a result, the Night Elves were arranged into various plot stories in the discussion in the tavern, and even some not very good rumors, such as they could transform and eat children.

The world is changing, and the discord between the tribe and the alliance continues, but the two sides still have the same goals for some public issues that arise, such as facing the orcs and black iron dwarves on the Black Rock Mountain, such as the other side of the Dark Gate.

These two things have always been big things, not only affecting people's hearts, but also affecting the economy. Goblin technology is a serious threat to the sales of the products made by the gnomes, on the one hand, the price, and more importantly, the quality and effect. After all, the things they make are not used in industry, agriculture or basic science, but more in warfare.

Although the dwarf's inventions were first used and promoted by the Alliance, as the exchange deepened, the goblin gadgets and invention drawings brought back by some people from Treasure Bay or Ratchet City across the ocean surprised everyone on the Alliance side.

Competition means progress, high-speed progress! And it's not just arms traffickers who benefit, but civilians as well.

The sensation caused by the Black Rock Mountain War was no less than the destruction of Lordaeron, this war lasted for nearly a year, the Alliance sent troops, the Horde also sent troops, and the Alliance and the Horde can be said to have spared no effort into this war. The end result was that the Alliance and the Horde paid a very heavy price to take the Blackstone Mountains.

Not mountains, but mountains.

Not only are there the remnants of the Blackstone Clan, the old orc tribe that survived back then, but the Black Iron Dwarves have completely transformed this place into an impregnable underground castle. It's nothing, there are people from the Twilight Cult in there! This incident made the Alliance's side very angry, because when the Twilight Sect was exterminated, almost all the people of the Twilight Sect here were tribal people.

Minotaurs, orcs, and even trolls!

If these shocked the Alliance, what made the Alliance feel extremely frightened was that there was a dragon here, the Black Dragon! And not only did the black dragon appear, but in the deepest part of the earth, an elemental creature that did not appear in the historical documents of mankind at all appeared. The discovery of these things is also due to the Black Iron Dwarves, but also because the price paid by the Alliance and the Horde is a big one.

If it weren't for the Night Elves' help in finding a way to restrain these elemental creatures, the war would have lasted much longer and killed more people. The fire elemental creatures I encountered in the underground didn't appear for no reason, not because of the high level of magic of the Black Iron Dwarves, but because their excavation finally dug up the Fire King.

This Lord of Flames is as old as this world, so this group of black iron dwarves was actually all controlled by these elemental creatures in the end. It is said that some of the captured Black Iron Dwarves were grateful to the Alliance troops who dared to come.

The Black Iron Dwarves were inadvertently rescued by the coalition forces, but the Black Iron Dwarf King has been dead for many years, and now the Black Iron Dwarves are ruled by Muradin, the king of the Copperbeard Clan, who rules Danmoro. Copperbeard's younger sister. King Copperbeard's sister became the queen of the Black Iron Dwarves, and various versions of this history have been interpreted since the event was worn.

And there is one more thing that makes the dwarves feel very faceless, that is, although he was rescued and the King of Flames was sealed, the Black Iron Dwarves did not appreciate it, and the current King of the Black Iron Dwarves, Moella, the sister of the King of the Copperbeard Dwarves, Muradin, did not give his brother face at all. More and more legends have also made the dwarves angry for a while, and the topic is forbidden to be discussed when the dwarves are around, but of course, if you want to fight with the dwarves, you can talk freely.

The Twilight Sect on Blackstone Mountain has not been completely destroyed, it has indeed been killed a lot, and in the words of the tribe, it is called ruthless and completely eradicated, but the fact that it is almost all tribal members makes the tribe still unable to get rid of the suspicion of whether they are still secretly poking and prodding behind the Twilight Sect. There's a lot of speculation anyway.

And the dragon that appeared on the Black Rock Mountain, and the series of tricks that the dragon was doing shocked both sides, a huge black dragon, it is said that the king of the black dragon is still sitting in the Black Rock Mountain, but he controls not the Black Iron Dwarf, but the remnants of the old tribe, the orcs of the Black Rock Clan, who claim to be the real tribal chieftain Red. The Black Hand, the Great Chief Destroyer Blackhan. The second son of the Black Hand, the guy who betrayed Orgrim with Gul'dan back then.

The orcs were exterminated, and the black dragon named Nefarian, who claimed to be the king of the black dragons, was killed in the castle on the Black Rock Mountain by the combined forces of the two sides. It is said that when the head of the Black Dragon King was transported to Stormwind City and hung at the head of Stormwind City, the entire Stormwind City and even the surrounding residents ran to watch it when it was hung with the dragon's head back then. Varian's reputation has also reached unprecedented heights.

Immediately, Varian announced a friendship agreement between the Alliance and the Horde, and signed a plan with the Horde to deepen friendly relations. Because the tribal army that came to help in the war this time did not mean to go back, but to go to the other side of the dark gate to have a look.

The Alliance negotiated with the Horde for a period of time on this matter, and accompanied by the Alliance's high-level leaders, the tribe also sent high-level officials to the other side of the Dark Gate to investigate and investigate.

After both sides learned about the situation on that side, the Horde's army was allowed to sail to the Cursed Lands with the help of the Alliance, and prepared to go with the Alliance to their former homeland to eradicate evil.

Anyway, that's what the evil is eradicated, and I don't know what kind of evil has been eradicated. I only know that there is also a dark fight there, and this war has dragged on for a longer time, and it is this war that has brought the relationship between the Night Elves and the human side closer and closer. As for what was gained in the last war, I don't know anyway, but in the mouths of the masses, there are all kinds of things, some say it is for resources, some say it is for the invasion of demons, and some say it is to prevent the orcs of that world from invading again.

Although I still don't understand what the purpose and outcome of this war is, the outcome of this war is very interesting, a new species has entered the alliance, it can also be called a species, they are just like humans, half of the body is very similar to cattle and horses, I mean the lower body, their legs and feet. This is the Draenei who fled to escape the collapse and carnage of the world, came to our world, and landed not very far from the Night Elves.

The Night Elves had known about this for a long time, but they were not friends with each other, and the Night Elves had provided them with some shelter, and the Draenei had provided them with some magical guidance, including knowledge of the Light. With the gradual development of the reopening of the Dark Gate, the Draenei actively joined in this matter, so under the recommendation of the Night Elves, the Draenei joined the alliance.

And the tribe did not stop, I don't know if it was to balance the power, the blood elves joined the tribe. It is rumored that the Blood Elves joined the Tribe, and Sylvanas, the leader of the Forsaken, was provoked, but some people say that it was not she who provoked it, but that the tribe's higher-ups found Sylvanas and asked her to find the Blood Elves. Anyway, for whatever reason, the two races that once had a deep blood feud actually stood under the same banner.

I can even imagine how the Blood Elves would look at his allies, all of them looking strangely like humans. However, balance is a very, very important thing for both sides now, and the balance of power can keep the two sides from falling out as much as possible, although I don't know under what conditions the blood elves agreed to join the tribe, but it is absolutely impossible to achieve it if it is not for absolute interests.

I don't know how strong this peace is, but I can also hear in the chat that the alliance kills the tribe, and the tribe kills the alliance, and this friction is constant, but at least now the two sides are okay at the top. It would be great if there were no major armed conflicts.

I also feel more and more that it is really the right time to move here, although the Stormwind Kingdom has shown its muscles here back then, but this place still does not recognize the territory of the Stormwind Kingdom, and the dwarves and gnomes have not nodded and agreed that the Stormwind Kingdom has the ownership of this land, so this has become a free land.

There are no Stormwind Kingdom guards here, and while it seems likely that the governor here will also become hereditary, the inhabitants of this place have acquiesced in this.

Life is like this, plain but reassuring. Although I don't feel like I'm more in Vanessa's heart than James, I think James treats her like a daughter, and it's better to have someone to take care of me than to make things worse for me to face something I'm not good at.

Until one day I wanted to go to Theramore to see Egwen, and I hadn't seen her in over two years, so I came up with the idea of going on a trip, but Vanessa didn't get a response. Although I described the trip well, I said that I could even take her to Thunder Bluff to see the Minotaur and meet Mr. Heavy Punch, but she was not interested.

Later, James said let me go, and he would take care of her, so I didn't think much about Vanessa when I wasn't interested at all, so I set out to get on the boat to Ratchet City.

During my time in Theramore, I finished my book with Egwene about everything that happened after we separated. I said why don't you come with me, and I thought she would gladly agree, but instead of agreeing to me, she wanted me to talk to Vanessa about it first. I think it makes sense, but living with her here is so comfortable that I really don't want to be separated from her.

Maybe it's because I'm old, really old, and when I met Egwen, I had a feeling that I didn't want to leave again, I didn't want to wander anymore, and I was tired of separation. Even if Egwene told me that something was wrong with Lordaeron again, and that the Alliance and the Horde were now starting a new operation, it wouldn't shake my desire to settle down. Let those people toss, human beings are no longer alone, and the alliance and the tribe are still more reliable in cooperating with each other in some major matters. Besides, what does this have to do with me?

Egwen didn't contradict me, I felt that she would be happy to live like this, so I set out on my return journey after staying here for more than two months. I've rehearsed this countless times in my mind, and I fantasize about what it would be like for our family to live in harmony and beauty.

When I returned to Minahir Harbour, I felt refreshed and a good life ahead of me. But when I got home, I found that the door was locked, and the dust in front of it made me chuckle, and the thickness of this dust was definitely not formed in a day or two or a week or two.

When I opened the door and entered the house, there was no sign of fighting, no sign of theft, no dead body, no destruction, even the bedding that had not been smoothed on the bed was so natural. But I found anomalies in the kitchen, where the rotting food in the pot and the food that hadn't been eaten meant that they hadn't eaten at all. Or ask the people who didn't come to eat.

Finally I found a letter in my room, which James had left for me two months earlier.

When I saw this letter, I felt a blackness in front of my eyes, Vanessa was gone!

This letter was written two months ago, but it is believed that the contents were written to me three days after Vanessa lost it.

He apologized to me and said that he was sorry for not taking care of her and for letting her run away from home, but I didn't care about the apology at all, I just wanted to know why he wasn't at home anymore.

The second half of the letter said that he was going to look for Vanessa, and I knew that he was going to look for Vanessa, but the dog thing didn't write why she lost it, how she lost it, how he found it, why he left home, and where he was going to leave home. What should I do if I don't see him when I come back.

I only felt angry, very, very angry, that I wanted to tear the letter apart, and after reading it several times, I would crumple it into a ball and hammer it flat.

How to find someone if they are lost?

Can anyone tell me how to find it?

Where do I find it?

I've been missing this for two months, how can I find it!

Neighborhood, then school, then all the places Vanessa could go, taverns, docks, even shops in the city that forged weapons, shops that sold food, and so on.

James is not a celebrity, but there are still many people who know about the guy who collected the rags, but despite this, people don't have much impression of his disappearance, and this was two months ago, and people have no way of knowing where James went.

I scolded as I searched, if this fool couldn't find it, at least he sent a letter back, in case I didn't come back and saw him, I at least knew where he was, where he went, and what was going on. But this fool didn't do anything! This made me feel some bad thoughts.

The thought made me feel uncomfortable, and I immediately shifted my mind to try to stop thinking about it, but the more I drove it, the more it felt like the real thing.

Without clues, I can only estimate the most likely thing. So I immediately bought a ticket back to the Stormwind Kingdom. I wonder if she's going to run back west while I'm away, and I really didn't notice anything special about her in the time I was gone.

I started inquiring in King's Harbour, but to no avail, I crept along the way to Stormwind, then inquired all the way to the Wild West, then I went straight to Sentinel Ridge, then to Mooncreek, and finally to every destroyed Defia settlement, even the sealed pit.

It was impossible to get in from the land through the tunnels in the mines, and almost all of them were sealed, so I went to the beach, and along the seashore I would eventually find the shipyard hidden in the canyon.

I thought I would find her here, and I had a strong premonition that she would be here when I came to the canyon and saw the half-sunken warship.

There were patches of white bones in the shipyard, and the bones of the humans had been thrown there, their bodies devoid of flesh, and the only scraps left could make out that they were all members of Defiya who had died in battle.

Their bodies were badly damaged, with severed limbs and heads strewn everywhere, most of which could be seen to have been gnawed. That is, these are leftovers that are eaten.

Seeing this scene, I suddenly felt that I might not be able to find her, she should not come here, it was too scary here.

When I climbed aboard, the scene on the boat was not much different from below, but here I heard the sound of the fish-people in the lower cabin, except for the dry bones. The top floor was burned down, and Class A was also burned through. The captain's room was burned down. I found no recent signs of anyone in that ruin, nor did I find the bones of Edwin.

The discovery here made my mood hit rock bottom, and I couldn't accept this reality. I felt like I was going to go all over the Wild West, and I'd ask wherever there was anyone, but I still didn't hear from me. It was only during small talk that I heard the last news about Edwin, which was that his head had been cut off and hung from the head of Stormwind.

I was in Stormwind again, and an indescribable feeling stirred in my chest as I looked at the human head.

I will find her, no matter how much time it takes, no matter what the cost, I will find her!

I don't care about destroying the Fethia Brotherhood, but if you treat Edwin like this, this revenge will definitely not be counted like this!

I swear.
