Section Fourteen: The Unexpected Guest
No normal land creature would like to sail for a long time, unless he was the freshness of the first two days of his career, Sophie stayed in the cabin and played chess with Reagan. It is said that this game was the invention of Medivh, the last guardian of the mainland. Since Reagan took out the box to install chess, the elves were deeply impressed by this elegant and confrontational game.
"Why are you still moving after the car has moved?"
"oh"
"God, I haven't walked two squares yet, how can I be considered a passerby?"
"oh"
“The Holy Light is above….”
Regan regretted his whim at this time very much. Sophie was completely an idiot: either he couldn't figure out the rules or he was walking around with a horse. The knight who was a first-time teacher felt that his enthusiasm for teaching was greatly hit. Just as Regan set up the chessboard again at Sophie's strong request and was preparing to have another duel that made him feel that he was reluctant to die, a pleasant ringtone rang on the ship-Minaisheil Port arrived
"Okay, since you have arrived at the port, let's keep this game of chess for us to go to Storm City again." Regan ignored the elf's resentful eyes and happily put the chess pieces away from the ship.
"Hmph, who cares about it? A man who is impatient?" Sophie saw that she was pitiful and ineffective, and attacked the fast-moving knight in front of her with a fierce roll of eyes.
Regan led Sophie to the griffin management office and found that there was no one on duty at the reception at the door. Regan pulled the Zhikeling: "Is anyone here?"
"Come here!" A thin man ran out of it, "What's wrong with you?"
Regan was slightly stunned. Generally speaking, the person in charge of the griffin management office would not be replaced unless he encountered a magnificent natural disaster. He still clearly remembered that the last time he received him was an enthusiastic female dwarf named Saida. Regan asked tentatively: "Are you the new griffin administrator? I remember that he was a dwarf named Yoda some time ago."
"Hey, you remember this wrongly. It's true that I am the new administrator, but the previous one was not named Yoda. She is the warmest Seda aunt in our city." The thin man introduced enthusiastically
Regan secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, it seems that I remembered it wrongly, sorry, sorry! Please prepare two griffins for us to fly to Stormwind City. We need to set off immediately if we have urgent matters."
The thin man said with a look of distress: "It's really a coincidence that all the griffins flying to Stormwind City have been rented out. If you have to wait for the next batch of griffins, it may not be completed until noon tomorrow."
Regan frowned and said, "How could this happen? You don't have griffins available in the afternoon, so wouldn't all those who rushed to Stormwind stay here for one night?"
Sophie interrupted, "Can't you temporarily second the griffin from other routes to Stormwind City?"
The thin man lowered his head and covered his greedy eyes: "Beautiful elf lady, it's not that we don't want to do this, but that the number of griffins on each route is strictly regulated. If the route is paralyzed due to private transfer of griffins, we will lose our jobs..."
"Okay, let's go, Sophie" Regan interrupted the chattering man impatiently and walked towards Horse City with the elf
After the two walked away, a strong man in Theramo's armor walked out of the house and threw a small bag of coins to the thin man, "It's done well, dry firewood."
"It is my honor to serve you, Lord Handel," said the man named Ganchai, hunching, "How do you plan to deal with these two people?"
Handel glanced at him coldly: "Don't ask if you shouldn't ask, be careful to become like the dwarf in the room! Just hold the wallet in your hand."
"Yes, yes, thank you for your kindness," Gan Chai said hurriedly
"I found a place to bury the corpse inside. I don't want to be chased by dwarves all over the city."
"As for orders, sir." Han Chuan tried hard to put the dwarf's body into a bag and dragged it to the back of the house. Just as he was about to throw the body into the dug cave, a long sword poked him into the piercing hole. He looked at Handel, who had pulled out the sword from his chest, and slowly fell into the big hole he had dug.
——Regan and Sophie, who didn’t know that all this happened, just rode away from Minaihil. “Regan, do you see that,” Sophie whispered to the Knight, “That thin man was lying just now.”
"Oh, you can see it too?" Regan was surprised that the elves' keen intuition was a little surprised.
"Well, he was a little panicked when he first came out of the house. Although he calmed down quickly afterwards, the feeling of trying to cover up was too obvious," Sophie said with his fingers, "and he had a very faint smell of blood on his body. He probably had fought with someone in the room or killed that person. Moreover, his eyes looked at me were very vulgar, and he would definitely not be a good person!"
"Well, except for the last one, everything else makes sense." Regan nodded with a smile.
"But why did he lie? Even if he doesn't provide griffins, we can still get to Stormwind City if we ride horses overnight." Sophie said in confusion
"Because then they don't have to ride griffins in the sky to intercept us," Regan replied dismissively, "I'm right? Friends behind the tree."
"It's worthy of being the strong man who killed Van Cliff," a high elf in black walked out from behind the tree. "All out, our guests have arrived!"
With his shout, seven or eight interceptors in black suddenly jumped out on both sides of the road, surrounding Regan and Sophie.
Regan narrowed his eyes and stared at the high elf who looked like a leader: "I remember where we should have seen it, don't we?"
"Excellent memory," Gao Elf took off the black scarf covering her face and bent down to the two of them, "Alex Hilo, the general manager of the Theramo Master Tower, greeted you."
Sophie took off the longbow hanging next to the saddle and said with a cold expression: "It seems that you, the traitors who betrayed Eluen, must be the culprits who kidnapped King Urien."
"Oh! Beautiful Night Elf Miss, thank you for loving a little character who runs errands so much, but my master and I are not the protagonists of this game," the high elf was not moved by Sophie's accusations. "The despise Lord just hopes you can give up this dangerous journey. You must know that your purpose will cause trouble to many people."
Regan patted the horse with a sniff under him: "Thinking of this, the last encounter at the Mage Tower was probably not a coincidence. At that time, I wondered why Ms. Gianna appointed a rude and unwilling elf as the housekeeper. Now I finally saw a clue."
Sophie sneered: "When you first arrived in Theramore, you praised the woman as a wise monarch. I think she is just a fool with overly ambitiousness."
Alex's face changed slightly: "Night Elf, please take back your words that shame the moon god. Even Ms. Tyrande cannot insult an outstanding ruler!"
Regan raised his hand to stop Sophie who was about to retort: "His Excellency Alex, are you so eager to show us the power behind you? Is it because you have regarded us as dead people, or do you hope that we will follow your thoughts and doubt a great female lord?"
Alex was startled and then said calmly: "You are joking, we will definitely not..."
"Your master will never be Ms. Gianna," Regan interrupted the high elf's defense. "Your poor acting skills cannot hide your true intentions. Although you don't know who your real master is, I think he must be happy to see the misunderstanding between Danasus and Theramore."
Regan slowly drew out his sword: "In other words, what he wanted to provoke more was the battle between all mortal species! Let your subordinates appear, Lord Alex."
"I have to say that you are indeed a very excellent human being," After a moment of silence, a man in black around Alex came out, uncovering his hood in a low voice of Sophie, revealing the hideous black dragon head. "You know, conspiracy and tricks are not the best at our dragon clan. I am very happy that you can see through this strategy. If it weren't for the master's order, I would rather kill you directly, although this will make the master's next plan a lot more troublesome."
Regan smiled: "So this high-elf chess piece was sent to mislead me?"
"No, it's just a mentally controlled skin," the dragon man tweaked the high elf with his sharp claws in half. "He should feel honored to serve our noble queen at least before his death."
Sophie looked at the dragon man with blood on his claws in disgust and whispered to Regan: "The queen in their mouths should be the female dragon hiding in the dust swamp and digging holes all day long."
"Onexia, the hostess of Black Dragon Valley?" Regan was stunned.
"Yes, you lowly mortals should be trembling at hearing this name!" The dragon man sprayed a smog of sulfur from his nose.
Regan shook his head: "Why can't she stay in her nest and lay eggs in peace? Is the defeat of Death Wings enough to destroy the ambitions of this female dragon?"
"Shut up! Abominable mortals," the dragon man shouted angrily, "Mr. Winkley will not give you death mercilessly. I will pull out your souls and throw them into the lava of Black Rock Mountain to wail and beg for mercy to the master!"
"Oh, your hobby is really special," Regan shook the sword in his hand, and the Holy Aviation wrapped around like a golden flame. "My hobby is different from you, but the barbecue lizard is definitely one of them!" Before he finished speaking, a sharp sword light slashed at Winkley.
The dragon man stretched out his right hand disdainfully. He planned to crush the human being with his weapon directly, but the huge pain from his palms next moment made him almost dizzy.
"Damn it! You hateful bug!" Winkley held his almost broken right palm and howled angrily, "You all go up and kill him!" The dragon man gave an order to the human-shaped puppets beside him with red eyes.
The soldiers whose minds were taken away by magic drew their swords and rushed towards Regan, but several long arrows with almost no gaps roared and nailed them to the ground one by one.
"Good arrow! My beauty!" Regan shouted the title that made Sophie blush and made the heavy sword dance airtight. Winkley was struggling under his fierce attack. After a while, his huge body was almost covered with sword marks, but Regan became more and more comfortable. The holy energy in his body made him almost roar, and the judgment spells poured over the Dragon Man and his servants around him like a tide.
"Damn human!" Wenkley roared helplessly and desperately. He found in pain that he was no match for a mortal. "No, the dignity of the dragon clan cannot be violated. I want to die with these hateful insects!" Wenkley stared at the dark night elf not far away who was aiming at him.
"Roar!" The Dragon Man howled and used all his strength to fight Regan. The body transformed by the Book of Holy actually took several steps back under the blow of Winkley with hatred. Before Regan could recover from his surprise, the Dragon Man's huge body rushed towards Sophie at an incredible speed!
"Danger!" Regan was anxious. He was about to chase after him and stop Winkley, but was surrounded by soldiers who were shaking from the ground and getting up again. "This damn reptile!" Regan struggled to chop the undead summoned by the Dragon Man at the cost of overdrawing his life, but these tough undead creatures could not be destroyed immediately even in the holy light in the sky. Regan watched the Dragon Man pounce on Sophie who was nowhere to be avoided. Regan almost desperately watched the Dragon Man pounce on Sophie who was nowhere to be avoided.
There was a loud "clang" sound, just as Regan was almost closing his eyes and unable to bear to look at it, a long sword shot out from the side pierced his chest in the incredible gaze of the dragon man. The power attached to the sword even brought this huge monster for more than ten yards away
"Sophie! Not injured." Regan, who had escaped the entanglement of undead creatures, rushed over and looked at the elf who was still in fear, and couldn't help asking: "What's going on with that sword just now? Did you throw it out?"
"It's okay, only my arm was cut. Oh my God, I was scared just now, and I could even smell the bad breath of the dragon!" Sophie said in a panic.
Regan walked to the huge corpse of the dragon man and slightly tried to pull out the sword; the sharp sword was shining with a deep blue light, which should be some kind of powerful magic blessing: "What a good sword! Unfortunately, I don't know its origin." The knight sincerely praised
"She is Salamani," a tall human in a black robe appeared behind the two at some point, "it was formed by the fusing of two twin swords; one was called Salator and the other was called Eremeni."
Sophie jumped backward like a conditioned reflex, pointing vigilantly at the unidentified visitor Regen, looking at the elves who are full of soldiers with a bow and arrow, amused: "Don't be nervous, if Sophie wants to kill us, you can't escape his palm even if you jump a hundred steps."
Regan held the long sword inverted and handed the hilt to the guest in black: "Thank you very much for your help. I'm sorry, can you know your name?"
The guest in black looked at Regan, nodded and took the sword: "You should know my name. Are you not the two of you standing here because of this mission?"
Regan and Sophie were shocked and looked at each other. After a while, a name that no one could believe was squeezed out from their teeth: "Varian Wrien"
