After traveling for more than an hour, the team entered the "Headwind Trail" area of the cliff and abyss terrain.
The road dug into the cliff is very narrow, only about five meters at its widest point.
The cliffs blocked the already dim sunlight, making the plank path look very dark.
Anduin Lothar looked at the sky, then reined in his war horses and greeted everyone: "That's it for today. Let's prepare to set up camp."
Everyone got off their horses one after another.
Anduin Lothar dismantled the salute on horseback and said to Khadgar: "Bookworm, you stay with me for the first half of the night."
"I'm sorry, Commander."
Khadgar was very helpless: "I am not an apprentice, a boy, or a nerd. I have a name. My name is Khadgar!"
Anduin Lothar glanced sideways at the other person and raised his eyebrows, then turned to face Khadgar with an unceremonious expression, and then pretended to caress his chest and salute: "I deeply apologize, Master Khadgar... young apprentice
bookworm."
One second, Khadgar showed a smile, but the next second, his expression froze again.
Looking a little aggrieved, Khadgar lowered his head and muttered: "After experiencing so much together, I thought we could become friends..."
Anduin Lothar chuckled softly, and then raised his chin towards Cowen: "If you want to be friends with me, your ability must be at least half of Cowen's."
"Isn't that..."
Khadgar felt ridiculous: "Except for the Guardians, no one is qualified to be friends with you?"
Anduin Lothar's eyes were a little strange.
He found that Khadgar wanted his approval too much.
This made Anduin Lothar think of his past self.
At the beginning, he had a similar mood to Khadgar and also wanted to gain Coven's friendship.
Thinking of this, Anduin Lothar's attitude softened.
He chuckled softly, and then comforted him: "Okay, kid, I just gave you a metaphor and expressed some expectations for you. If you want to be friends with me, it depends on your behavior later."
Khadgar suddenly felt happy. He looked at Anduin Lothar in surprise, and then nodded repeatedly.
Anduin Lothar shook his head helplessly, then walked to the foot of the mountain wall with a bow in his arms, and bent down to spread the bedding.
…
Late at night, Anduin Lothar and Khadgar were replaced from duty by the two legion commanders.
After returning to his bunk, Khadgar subconsciously wanted to continue reading, but the light from the oil lamp and the small campfire was too dim, making it difficult for him to distinguish the words on the book.
Therefore, he had no choice but to put down the book that he had read from Karazhan.
At this time, Anduin Lothar came back holding a relatively flat stone slab.
He set up the stone slab on the bonfire, then took out a few pieces of cold barbecue from his bag and placed them on the stone slab to heat them up.
Khadgar was doing nothing. After watching Anduin Lothar's movements for a moment, he looked at Garona again.
Unknowingly, he started to lose focus while looking at Garona's sleeping posture.
Perhaps because she was too sensitive, Garona suddenly opened her eyes in a light sleep and immediately noticed Khadgar's sight.
Garona frowned slightly, and following Khadgar's direct gaze, she lowered her eyes and looked at the two hemispheres that had squeezed out of her breastplate.
At this time, Anduin Lothar looked at Kewen who was lying on a bunk. After careful observation, he smiled and asked softly: "Kewen, do you want some midnight snacks?"
Amidst the rustling, Ke Wen stretched out his hand from the quilt and shook the wine bag in his hand: "No, I have this, that's enough."
"I knew it……"
Anduin Lothar chuckled: "You drunkard, you have to be more restrained when you are scouting in the orc camp. Don't let those beasts smell the smell of alcohol. Sorry..."
Anduin Lothar said to Garona who made some movements: "I'm not talking about you."
Garona looked at Anduin Lothar but didn't respond, and then looked at Khadgar again.
Khadgar came back to his senses when Anduin Lothar spoke and came out of his state of meditation.
However, his gaze at this time was still fixed on Garona.
Seeing Garona looking at him, Khadgar realized that he seemed to be rude, so he quickly avoided her gaze.
Anduin Lothar took off the hot barbecue from the stone slab, happened to notice Khadgar's movements, and said casually: "You finally stopped reading your book, so what were you doing in a daze just now?
"
Khadgar wanted to respond to what he was thinking about in the book, but he thought that Anduin Lothar didn't understand magic, so he gave up the idea of explaining.
Unexpectedly, Garona suddenly spoke over there: "He wants to sleep with me."
Both eyes looked at Garona at the same time.
Anduin Lothar sat there and stopped for a moment preparing to bite the barbecue.
Khadgar said blankly: "I'm sorry I didn't hear clearly...what did you say?"
"You're going to get hurt."
Garona had no idea of her astonishing words, and still reminded her seriously: "Your body is too weak, you can't bear my movements."
"Crack!"
Glutinous rice
Anduin Lothar almost spit out the roast meat in his mouth, and then he stared at Khadgar and laughed non-stop.
At the same time, another suffocating voice appeared.
Kewen, who was under the quilt, laughed so hard that his body kept shaking.
"No!" Khadgar became anxious. With a blushing face, he repeatedly raised his hands and lowered his hands, explaining in a hurry: "I just stared at you not because I wanted to sleep with you or anything! I was just thinking about something!!!"
"That's good."
Garona didn't take it seriously and said calmly: "You will not be a qualified sexual partner."
"Hiccup, hiccup, hiccup..." Anduin Lothar couldn't bear it anymore, and he was laughing very painfully.
"Why are you laughing?" Garona was puzzled.
Anduin Lothar reluctantly suppressed the corners of his mouth. He glanced at Garona and then at Khadgar.
The power will be broken in the next second.
Unable to bear it any longer, Anduin Lothar waved his hands to Garona repeatedly, while covering his face with the arm holding the barbecue, and once again let out a painful and suppressed laugh like a box of boxes.
Garona still didn't understand what Anduin Lothar was laughing at. She continued to explain seriously: "If you choose us orcs as your partners, I don't think you humans can survive."
"Without strong muscles, fragile bones are so easily broken, so I advise you not to have any delusions and find your human partner."
Anduin Lothar and Corwin couldn't hold back their laughter, but the immature Khadgar was so embarrassed that he subconsciously retorted: "Your physique looks similar to ours."
"But I can survive."
Garona continued to explain seriously: "We orcs have different physiques from yours. Even if I am not pure blood, I still inherit the talent of the orcs. Broken bones will become stronger after healing..."
After a pause, Garona continued: "So, my bones are very tough."
The suppressed laughter quickly disappeared.
Anduin Lothar slowed down for a moment, then looked at Garona.
He recalled the scenes in those memory phantoms. In those scenes, Garona really suffered too much pain.
"Sorry." Anduin Lothar said a little embarrassed.
"No need."
Garona didn't care and said nonchalantly: "My name 'Garona' means curse in the orc language."
"I don't know who my father is, and my mother was burned alive, so I have long been accustomed to my fate."
Khadgar felt a little uncomfortable hearing this.
The child was kind-hearted and couldn't help but want to appease Garona's painful memories, so he brought the topic to himself.
"cough……"
He made a noise, and then confessed: "My parents sent me to the Kirin Tor when I was six years old. That was the last time I saw them...including my brothers and sisters."
"Sending your child to the sky city of Dalaran to learn from the most powerful mage in that country is an incomparable and huge honor, but..."
Khadgar shook his head: "But I ran away... without any honor or even shame."
After saying that, Khadgar smiled bitterly.
"Uh..." Anduin Lothar blinked and echoed: "It seems it's not easy for anyone."
"Did you choose to escape on your own?"
Kewen slowly sat up, took a sip of wine and asked, "Were you still forced to leave the Kirin Tor?"
"It's my own choice."
Khadgar smiled bitterly and shook his head: "As you know, as a 'Kirin Tor', you must bear the responsibility of guardianship, but I have no confidence in myself, and I am tired of the same boring study life."
"So..." Card took a deep breath and pretended to smile calmly: "I gave up my oath in shame and chose to enter the colorful world outside."
Ke Wen nodded slowly.
Through the secretly released magic of 'Ingestion of Spiritual Thoughts', he knew that Khadgar was not lying.
From this point of view, the plot of the movie has completely changed the original plot. Khadgar in this world is not a spy sent to Medivh by the Kirin Tor Council.
"And you?"
At this time, Anduin Lothar suddenly asked Cowen, who was thinking: "You have been wandering around before, and it is also not easy, right?"
Ke Wen was slightly stunned, but after feeling the current atmosphere, he simply cooperated.
So he started making up nonsense, fabricating his adventures around the world, and focusing on fabricating the various life and death tests he encountered during his adventures.
This made the three audience members nod their heads repeatedly, showing expressions of pity and recognition.
…
One night passed, and early the next morning, the team packed up the temporary camp and continued on their journey.
After a day of traveling, the team passed through the 'Deadwind Pass' and 'Swamp of Sorrows' areas, and stopped at the mouth of the valley entering the 'Black Swamp'.
After finding a secluded area as a camp, the team spent another night repairing.
On the morning of the third day after setting off from 'Stormwind City', the team of six finally crossed the valley and entered the 'Black Swamp' area...
