Chapter 139: To the Barren Lands
"I like you."
In her life (whether in her previous life or in close life), Michaela, who received a confession from a female orc for the first time, was stunned on the spot.
, facing this woman with green skin, taller than me, with a thicker waist than me, and a mouthful of fangs, this is really, really......
"Accept it, why don't you accept it!"
Fearing that the world would not be chaotic, Tolina took the opportunity to shout: "Michaela, you will become the first blood elf ever to deal with a female orc, this is a glorious deed that will go down in history!" ”
Who wants such glorious deeds!
Even Maleia on the side looked at Michaela with expectant eyes.
Hey, what's there to look forward to in this kind of thing!
Fortunately, Tessa's next sentence cleared Michaela: "I like you, Michaela, I like people who are strong in doing things." ”
Speaking of this, Tessa noticed Michaela's relieved expression, and immediately laughed heartily:
"Ahaha, Michaela, you don't think I'm confessing to you, do you?"
"Don't be funny."
Tessa waved her hand and continued, "I only like beings who are stronger than me, and you are too thin. ”
On the way back, Tessa didn't forget to ask, "By the way, Michaela, what spell did you use before?" I see you summoned a very powerful stalker who killed all the humans in the castle. ”
Torina hurriedly reminded: "Michaela, Tessa is not familiar enough to tell me about it." ”
"Don't worry, I'm measured."
Michaela tells Tessa, "As you can see, I'm a warlock, and I'm good at summoning powerful minions to fight. ”
This is a truth, because the players who are summoned by the system are also summoned, right?
Sure enough, Tessa believed Michaela's "truth" and said, "I see, although orcs don't like demons, it is undeniable that demons are indeed powerful. ”
"Huh?"
Tolina said to Michaela, "Doesn't Tessa, an orc, seem to have no aversion to demons at all? ”
"Maybe it's because everyone thinks differently." Michaela reassured.
Afterward, Mikaela and his party returned to Razor Ridge and told Gasok that he had cleared the humans of Tiragad Castle, and took out "General Prodmore's Order" as proof.
Seeing this document, Gasook looked at Michaela with surprised eyes, originally he thought that Michaela was just killing a few human guards, and then deterring the other party not to stir up trouble, who would have thought that he actually got this order document.
Gasock was eager to ask Michaela how he got his hands on this document, apparently such an important document could not have fallen into the hands of the sergeants, only the commander. But he soon dismissed the idea, because now that the document was in Michaela's hands, the result was obvious.
The sprouts in front of you, oh, the Blood Elves, the new allies of the Horde, have slain through the castle of Tiragad, and killed the commander to seize important documents.
At this moment, Gasok looked at Michaela with respect in his eyes, and agreed with the decision of the Great Chief Sal from the bottom of his heart:
"The Blood Elves must be allies of the Horde, and such a powerful help must not fall into the hands of the Alliance!"
Putting away the document, Gasok immediately said: "Thank you, blood elf, you have relieved us of the human troubles, I will give this document to the Great Chief, and I will not break my promise to reward you." ”
With that, Gasook immediately beckoned to his men, bringing a bag of coins and three magic mounts, which were the swift gray wolf, the swift black wolf, and the snow-white frost wolf judging by the thumb-sized statue.
There were 10 silver coins in a bag of coins, and the three magic mounts were one of three, and in the end, Malenia chose the frostwolf.
"You've got a lot of vision."
"The Frostwolves are a specialty of the Frostwolf Clan, known for their hoarfrost-like fur, and if you have the chance in the future, you can go to the Alterac Valley and see the real Frostwolves, trust me, you'll like them," Gasok said. ”
Michaela, who completed the mission, also said goodbye to Gasook and embarked on her own journey. As for Gasock, he also has to prepare his own wolf mount and go to Orgrimmar in person.
However, before leaving, Gasok was still waiting for his scouts to investigate the current state of Tiragad Castle.
Soon the scout returned, and told Gasock a shocking news, and Gasock exclaimed:
"What, there is not a single living mouth left in the castle of Tilagad!"
In the meantime, Michaela and Malenia had mounted their respective magical mounts, chocobos and frostwolves, and marched along the road towards the barren lands to the west. A lot of time has been wasted trying to deal with the humans of Tiragad Castle, and I'm afraid I'll have to spend the night in the wilderness before we can reach the crossroads in the heart of the Barrens tomorrow.
"Michaela, come on."
Torina, holding the game map, said, "At the junction of Durotar and the Barrens, there is an orc sentry where you should be able to spend the night. It's a pity, if it's a game, it's good, the journey only takes more than ten minutes. ”
"But reality is not a game."
Michaela said, "The game map is actually a miniature version of the real-life Azeroth, which is much larger than the game map. ”
"I see."
Tolina continued, "By the way, what about Tessa? ”
"Huh? Tessa? What Tessa? ”
Michaela felt strange, turned to look at her sister and asked, "Do you know Tessa?" ”
Maleia also said, "Brother, who is Tessa? ”
Torina sighed and asked, "Michaela, if it weren't for the sudden appearance of the orc Tessa who asked you to help clean up the humans, would you have delayed going to the crossroads until now?" ”
Michaela was stunned when she heard this, and even the boasted Chocobo mount stopped, and even led Maleia to hurriedly stop the frostwolf mount and looked at her brother:
"Brother, what's wrong?"
Michaela looked at her sister and asked, "Malenia, why did we go to Tiragad Castle to fight the humans?" ”
Malenia opened her mouth and said, "Aren't we being one, eh? ”
Suddenly, Maleia was stunned, and Michaela said, "In my memory, there is a vague shadow that guides us to fight humans, but I can't remember who it is. And Tolina in my head told me that it was an orc named Tessa who told us to fight humans. ”
"Thai...... Sha? Maleia thought for a moment, feeling that the name was both familiar and unfamiliar, as if she had heard it somewhere, but had forgotten the specifics.
"It's a strange thing."
Michaela simply asked Tolina directly: "Tolina, you tell me everything you know!" ”
Tolina immediately told Michaela about the first time Michaela had met Tessa in Orgrimmar and the second time she had seen Tessa in Durotal, and had followed her to Tiragad Castle to clear out the human forces.
Michaela checked her memories and found that Tessa, in Tolina's mouth, was a completely vague shadow in her memory, he only knew that he had met someone, but he couldn't remember who this person was.
"Michaela, that's wrong."
Not to mention Tolina, everyone present knew there was a problem!
Could it be an evil god?
Wrong!
If it's an evil god, there's no reason for me to waste my time, he's still waiting for me to pay my debts!
Sensing Michaela's thoughts, Tolina immediately reminded: "Michaela, why don't you ask the evil god, he is a great god, he must know the situation." ”
Michaela was right when she thought about it, and the evil god definitely didn't want anyone to interfere with his debt repayment, maybe he was really willing to help, but he ......
Michaela is all around, and as it gets late and the sun is about to set, it's better to find a place to stay overnight.
"Malenia, let's move on to the tribal outpost on the map."
"Good!"
So, together with Malenia, Michaela continued to move forward on the road ahead. After that, there were no accidents, and the two of them crossed the Nushui River to the barrens shortly after sunset, and successfully found the tribe's watchtower.
The orc soldiers in the sentry tower were very bold and willing to set aside a safe open space for Michaela to spend the night, of course, the money must be collected, twenty copper plates per person, a total of forty copper coins!
Here is a brief introduction to the price of Azeroth, don't look at the bosses of the gold group in the game, they take out tens of thousands of gold coins to buy equipment at every turn, but in the real Azeroth, ordinary people only have dozens of copper plates for a meal, and one gold coin is enough for ordinary people to live for a few months.
Recall that Michaela's former minister's salary was ten gold coins, plus his mission reward rebate, this is a real rich man!
But just as Michaela and Maleia were sleeping peacefully around the campfire, an unexpected storm was brewing.
At the same time, in Orgrimmasal's fortress, the Great Chief Sal was fighting in his office at night, reviewing all kinds of political documents, and when he saw the report sent by Gasock, his eyelids immediately jumped, and he exclaimed:
"All the humans in Tilagad Castle have been killed, and not a single one is left?"
Today, although the Horde and the Alliance are still hostile, under Thrall's leadership, the two sides are not at all-out war, but only small clashes in local areas. Moreover, Thrall knows that the history of orcs coming to Azeroth back then is not glorious, so since he came to power, he has been committed to whitewashing his race, so that the local forces on Azeroth can accept them with confidence.
To sum up, whenever there is a conflict between the Horde and the Alliance, the Horde never does anything to kill them all, but instead treats the wounded as much as possible after the battle, and exchanges prisoners to show the civilization and rationality of the orcs.
So, when Sal saw the report, he knew there might be radical moves on the side of the Alliance.
Sure enough, the space behind Thrall suddenly tore apart, forming a portal, and a beautiful blonde human female came behind him.
You know, this is the office of the Great Chief Thrall himself, the absolute core of the tribe, and its teleportation coordinates will be controlled by a human, does Thrall still dare to sleep with confidence?
He dared, for it was:
"Gianna, I knew you were coming for me." Sal turned and looked at the other man.
Gianna asked with a solemn face, "Sal, do you know what your men have done?" ”
"I've read the report."
Sal said helplessly: "I'm sorry, I didn't know that the blood elves would do such a great job and not even leave a single mouth alive. What did Stormwind say? ”
"That's what makes me feel weird."
Gianna said to Sal: "Because it was a human who died this time, the elves, dwarves and gnomes did not react violently, but the response of Stormwind was also very slow, and it was clear that MI7 had already told the regent Boval the information." ”
"So, Gianna, what about you?"
Thrall looked at the beauty in front of him, the humans of Tilagad Castle were all Kurtilas, nominally belonging to Gianna's men.
"They used to be my father's people, and although they have been co-opted by me, they are very aggressive. ”
Speaking of men means that these people do not listen to me, but as their nominal chief, I must ask for an explanation for them.
Thrall nodded: "Understood, I will adjust the trade tax with Theramore, and promise that there will be no next time." ”
