"Huh? Didn't you say that your vacation was a year long? "
"The Trolls near Cuel Salas are acting strangely. Those cowardly old men sent an urgent order to transfer me back. "
They had not known each other for long, so Duque was still very grateful to Aurelia. Suddenly hearing that this golden coattail was about to leave, Duque still felt a little disappointed.
"Then, I wish you a safe journey."
Aurelia was stunned. The phrase "safe journey" was definitely the best wish for a Windrunner. Unknowingly, Duque had warmed her frustrated heart.
"Alright, you've unintentionally coaxed me again. Let me tell you something small. If you're in trouble, go find him. "With that, Aurelia threw a small item over.
Duque caught it and saw that it was a small silver accessory with a name engraved in the High Elves' language.
"I don't know the High Elves' language," Duque said bitterly.
"Then learn it! Even though I'm a Windrunner and come from a family of rangers who have been roaming the forest for generations, I still have to say that the High Elves' magic is the most powerful magic! "The pride of the High Elves was on full display at this moment. Aurelia puffed out her chest proudly.
Alright, you have the biggest chest, you have the final say.
"Yes, yes, yes." Duque did not refute. After all, the High Elves were the ones who played magic in Azeroth.
"Hey, why do you look like you want to send me away?"
"No, no, no, how is that possible!" Duque hurriedly cried out.
"Sigh —" Aurelia suddenly jumped onto a tree. Her left hand supported her right elbow, and her right hand supported her chin. She sat on a branch and looked at Duque. She suddenly changed the topic. "Actually, I envy you."
"Huh?"
"You're young, energetic, and not afraid of power. Unlike me, I'm a ranger general, but in front of those councilors, I'm afraid my status is lower than a magic construct without self-awareness. So when I saw you slap that noble young master, I was very happy. "
Hey! As expected, you still peeped!
"I would think, if only I had the courage to slap those bastard councilors a few times. Unfortunately, I can't do it … I'm the eldest daughter of the Windrunner family. Not only do I have to be a role model for my sisters, but I also have to represent the face of the Windrunner family. My every move will be magnified infinitely. "
Suddenly hearing Aurelia's bitter confession, Duque fell silent.
"So, the curious me you see is definitely not the usual me. When I returned this time, I would once again be the serious and unsmiling Ranger General. Of course, it is precisely because Cuel Salas and Stormwind are so far apart that we will most likely not have the chance to meet again in this lifetime that I am telling you all this. Seriously, I want to thank you. At least for the past two days, you've made me feel interesting and happy. "
Duque suddenly smiled and asked tentatively, "Then … are we friends?"
Aurelia shook her head. "No, the High Elves are not interested in being friends with humans. It should be said that we all avoid being friends with humans. Because compared to the infinite life of the High Elves, the lifespan of humans is too short. A human's lifespan of a few decades is like a nap for us. We would not be able to bear the sudden separation of life and death so soon after we have invested our feelings. "
Duque sighed in his heart. Sure enough, different races have different values.
But Duque smiled mysteriously. "But I have a feeling that I will see you again in five years."
"Five years? Impossible! Those terrible old men will order me around. I have been on duty at the frontline for no less than 50 years. Our frontline will not allow humans to come close. "
"Then let's make a bet. If we meet again in five years, at that time, you will swear to be my friend." For some reason, Duque secretly added the word "woman" in front of the word "friend" in his heart.
"Hmph! Let's bet! " Aurelia did not believe in a scammer. She crossed her arms in front of her chest as if she was looking at a little guy daydreaming.
Well, to her, Duque was just a lecherous little guy.
Aurelia left. At this moment, in her heart, this human boy, Duque, was just a passerby. She did not expect that she would be tricked by Duque.
If Duque's calculations were correct, then in five years, the [Dark Portal] incident would break out, and she, Aurelia, as a member of the Alliance, would once again come to the human world to resist the invasion of the Orcs …
The next morning, Duque was on his way again. He spent the next two days in the carriage.
Sitting in the carriage, his body constantly bumping along with the carriage, Duque found that he had already begun to adapt to the World of Azeroth. From the beginning when he first sat in the carriage to the feeling of vomiting, he was now used to it.
But what made Duque even more emotional was what happened on the road. "Even the most peaceful Elven Forest is not a place that ordinary people can cross alone!"
The carriage team was attacked.
Old man Norton did not take the three apprentices on the road alone. Accompanying him was his magic apprentice, Sasha, and a fully armed guard of 16 people. Including the coachman and servants, there were more than 20 people, three carriages, and nearly 30 horses.
Even with such a seemingly luxurious lineup, Duque was still attacked.
On the second night, they were attacked by hundreds of Forest Wolves, but old man Norton chased them away with a few Fire Walls.
On the third night, they were attacked by Gnolls. These wolf-headed monsters, only half the height of an adult human, were much more ferocious than the ones Duque encountered in the game.
These cunning and ferocious predators would not only launch sneak attacks at night, but they would also come in groups. Armed with crossbows, they would crawl in the grass and shoot arrows, attempting to disrupt the defense of the convoy and then encircle and annihilate them.
Duque, who was protected by six shield-wielding guards, saw with his own eyes a servant not far from him get shot in the neck by a crude crossbow.
Looking at the dying face, the mouth that was spitting out blood bubbles still struggled to open and close. Duque, who thought that he was beginning to adapt to the World of Azeroth, felt uncomfortable and suffocated again.
Death — even if he knew that he could try it many times, he would never get used to it!
Recovering 1% of his humanity in Northshire Abbey made Duque happy. But he still felt that it was not a simple method. It was still a time of peace. Once war came, then … Don't lose your integrity too quickly!
Beside Duque, Darnielle and Itana seemed very normal. When Duque asked them, the answer he got was: "In this world full of monsters, dead people are very common."
Duque was a little speechless.
The only fortunate thing was that they finally arrived at Stormwind City on the evening of the third day.
