Chapter 323: Old Friends Reunited
When to go?
Of course, the sooner the better!
Without any guidance, Michaela knew that the key to Angela's door, the legendary Scepter of Quicksand, had been broken into three pieces by the troll of Vandal-Deerhelm, and became the red, blue, and green pieces, which were given to the three dragons for safekeeping.
With Michaela's social circle today, it is easy to get rid of the red and blue fragments, and the only green is more troublesome, but it is not impossible to get it.
"Because the most crucial thing in it, the dragon language, Michaela would have been!"
Tolina will definitely jump out of the opportunity to show her presence: "In the first place, I was the one who poured all kinds of information into Michaela's brain, so it's all my credit. ”
Back in reality, the job of finding the three pieces to reassemble the quicksand scepter is obviously not a task that can be done by one person, so Commander Maris assures Michaela that he has prepared a good group of adventurers to complete the task for Michaela.
Of course, Michaela also has the right to arrange for a group of adventurers he has designated to help. For such a major task, the more helpers the better. As for the reward, Commander Marris said that there was no need to worry, and that when the mission was completed, the Cenarion Council would be grateful.
What?
Why didn't the Council of Cenarion send people themselves, and had to find adventurers to do it?
Don't you need to ask, don't you feel sorry if the adventurer dies......
Ahem, let's get down to business.
According to the official version of the Cenarion Council, the council's forces were to prepare for the next major battle in Silishus, including but not limited to receiving reinforcements from the Alliance and the Horde, building a strategic stronghold in front of Angela's Gate, building fortifications, and so on.
In short, the task of retrieving the Scepter of Quicksand is entrusted to our great, unique, chosen, strongest, most handsome, and most perfect protagonist, Michaela!
Well, the above is Torina bragging, but Michaela loves it.
According to Baristols, the Warden of Quicksand, Michaela first travels to the Cave of Time in Tanaris, where she meets the bronze dragon Anaklos and gets a way to reforge the Scepter of Quicksand.
Well......
Michaela only knew where the three pieces were, but how to put them together to form the quicksand staff, Michaela didn't have the skills, so she had to find the bronze dragon.
Actually, with Michaela's temperament as a traverser, he doesn't need to accompany him at all, just let Tolina summon the player for a second, but Commander Maris said that he will arrange for him to be accompanied by adventurers, so let's go according to his arrangement, and he only needs to bring his sister Maleia.
At this time, Tolina spoke again: "Michaela, do you want to tear them apart because you often see Malenia and Glade-Steelaxe walking very close in the fortress?" ”
"Nonsense!"
Michaela said: "I will never accept an orc brother-in-law, never!" ”
"Smack", very soon.
The next morning, the adventurers that Commander Marris had arranged for Michaela had assembled, and according to the latter, they were the best warriors, the best of warriors who had played a role in the battle to clear Twilight's hammer.
"Marlis's cowhide is blowing big, what a warrior, what a master."
Tolina couldn't help but complain: "Michaela, it can't be someone you know." ”
Don't poison your milk with your crow's mouth!
It's a pity that it's late, and Tolina is an instant poisonous milk.
"Cut, Michaela, it's you."
Mariana's familiar voice reached Michaela's ears, and Michaela's expression twitched several times.
I knew it was you!
Could it be her, in the previous operation to clear the Twilight Hammer, it was Mariana who wanted to snatch the head from Michaela every day and take the credit, and she really had this ability with the Flame Hammer in her hand.
You see, Mariana said to her husband Agri in front of Michaela, "Honey, how about we just do Michaela now, and then we can fix the quicksand scepter ourselves?" ”
Convex (艹)!
It's good that Agri didn't answer, otherwise......
"Wait, Michaela."
Torina reminded, "Agri seems to have drawn his sword. ”
, do you really want to do it!
Fortunately, Agri was calmer, and his words were: "Anna (Mariana's nickname), it is inconvenient to do anything in the fortress. ”
Do you really want to do it!
At this time, Barry Stors, the Quicksand Warden, came over and said to Michaela: "Michaela-sama, you were the one who led this group of adventurers before, and now they help you complete the mission, I believe that you will be able to succeed, good luck." ”
Good luck?
Good you're big!
With Mariana by my side, I was afraid that she would make me and replace me.
Mariana also said cooperatively: "Yes, that's what I thought. ”
Even Maleia thought: "Sister Mariana, hello, I haven't had a chance to greet you officially before, do you have a good relationship with my brother?" ”
Look, even my sister...... Wait, what are you talking about!
Michaela's eyes were about to pop out, and in just a few seconds, Malenia and Mariana were already walking together!
"We women have to know how to dress ourselves."
Mariana touched her lipstick and said to Malenia: "This set of lipsticks is very popular now, even Ms. Liadeline is using it, I heard that Gianna from Theramore and Ms. Presto from Stormwind City are all endorsing it on the Alliance side......"
Hearing this, Tolina asked on the spot, "Michaela, did we receive an advertisement from our sponsor's father?" ”
This is, where did the ad come from!
Ahem, let's get down to business.
After a "friendly" exchange, Michaela finally got to know the members of Mariana's team.
The team currently has a total of seven people, the blood (saint) knight Mariana is the captain, the warrior Agri, Forrest Gump and Distel are all known to the two warlock brothers Michaela, and the remaining three are:
Frem - Storm Totem, an orc shaman, is also the orc shaman who made Michaela's eyes shine before, and it turns out that he is also a member of Mariana's team.
Bane Swifthoof, the Minotaur Shaman, has previously followed Michaela in the battle to destroy Twilight's Hammer, but his performance is not very obvious because he seems to have taken the path of restoring his talent.
Shadel - Shadow Blade, female, undead stalker from the Undercity, is said to have been a husband and wife when Shadel and Forrest Gump, who were still humans before the outbreak of the Scourge War.
Michaela couldn't help but squint her eyes and look at Forrest Gump, are you lucky kid, even if you are hit by the natural plague, my brother and wife are all saved.
Forrest Gump also noticed Michaela's gaze and turned his head away in embarrassment......
In this way, Michaela took the map given by Barry Stors, the Quicksand Warden, and set off with the team, leaving the fortress and embarking on the journey back to Garkison.
After all, the Bronze Dragon's base, the Cave of Time, is in the desert southeast of Garkison.
"Moreover, we have walked this road many times and are very familiar with it!" Torina also raised her little hand and said loudly.
However, just as Michaela walked out of the fortress, he felt a strange gaze.
"Who?"
Michaela turned her head to see a female dwarf priest nodding at her, then turned and walked away.
This dwarven priest is a little familiar, but why can't I remember?
"Michaela, that dwarven priest is an adventurer, and he has participated in the battle to destroy the Twilight Hammer before, so you must have seen it a few times." There aren't many Alliance adventurers coming to Silishus now, and with the height of a dwarf, it should be very conspicuous. You don't remember? ”
Michaela didn't say anything before leading the team away.
Over the next few days, Michaela returned to the Marshallese camp in Angolo Crater and headed south through the passage back to Tanaris.
Feeling the familiar wind and sand in front of her, Michaela continued to lead the team on the march to reach the quicksand outpost the next day, the only place in the Tanaris Desert where fresh water could be replenished.
Mariana also complained: "Michaela, you are very familiar with this road." ”
Michaela smiled, can you be unfamiliar, she has walked many times, and the nests in the west have been cleaned, and the local xenomorph insect population has not recovered until now, so this road is very safe, safe enough to camp at night, Michaela can sleep in the tent.
However, at this critical moment, Tolina spoke: "Michaela, wake up and someone is coming. ”
Michaela rolled over from the folding bed and saw Mariana walk in with the Flame Hammer:
"Yo, wake up."
Michaela gritted her teeth and said, "Mariana, do you want to take the opportunity to kill me and replace me, and then throw all the crimes to the swarm next door!" ”
The person who could answer Michaela turned out to be her sister Malenia, who followed Mariana and walked into the tent at the door:
"Brother, what are you talking nonsense, Sister Mariana is just worried about the safety of the camp so she is patrolling."
Well?
Michaela was stunned, and Tolina also said, "Michaela, hurry up and teach your sister how she turned her elbow out." ”
Fortunately, Michaela ignored Tolina's nonsense, and he immediately asked, "Mariana, are you really on patrol?" ”
Mariana dropped a sentence: "There is a worm nest next door, isn't it guaranteed to be safe?" ”
Marlenia also said: "Brother, even if the hive has been cleaned, after this period of time, the number of xenomorphs has recovered a lot, so we must pay attention to safety." ”
Well...... Doesn't seem to be wrong, right?
Michaela had to say, "Mariana, you did the right thing, please continue." ”
Tolina also said: "Michaela, didn't Mariana want to do you, how did she change?" ”
Michaela can only say: "People (elves) are complex. ”
Nothing was said all night.
The next day they were back on the road, heading north and reaching the quicksand sentry at dusk, where they successfully set up camp by the pool.
Once here, you'll be able to come to Gakison tomorrow.
Michaela thinks the trip should go well, and Tolina says, "It's going to be smooth with me." ”
And then?
Then something went wrong.
"Huh? Someone's coming! ”
Noticing the external movement, Mariana immediately informed the members of the camp, and Agri, Frem and others immediately prepared for battle, and even Malenia opened the mechanism of the prosthetic limb and reached out for the long sword to prepare for battle.
The freshwater springs at the quicksand outpost are one of the very few places to get water in the entire desert, so there are a lot of people coming and going, including caravans, sandfury trolls, bandits, and even xenomorphs, so they have to be guarded against.
Soon, as the group approached, Michaela immediately recognized them as a goblin caravan from Garkisen.
Seeing this scene, everyone put away their weapons and breathed a sigh of relief.
The goblin caravan also spotted them, and after setting up camp next to the freshwater spring, the goblin merchants also took the initiative to greet Michaela and the others.
It turned out that the destination of this goblin caravan turned out to be Silisus, trading with the Cenarion Council. So they also brought with them a new group of adventurers who went to Silishus.
New adventurer, do you have any acquaintances of mine?
Don't say there really is!
"Hey, Michaela!"
Celestine, who had not been seen for a long time, walked up, and the unexpected reunion also surprised Michaela very much: "Celestein, you are also preparing to go to Silishus!" ”
This is not over, at this moment, another acquaintance appeared......
