No normal land creature would like a long sea voyage, unless he himself is doing this business. After the novelty of the first two days passed, Sophie stayed in the cabin and played chess with Reagan. It is said that this game
It was the invention of Medivh, the last guardian of the mainland. Ever since Regan took out the box containing chess, the elves have been fascinated by this elegant and confrontational game.
"The car has moved, why are you still moving?"
"oh"
"God, I didn't move two squares, how can this be considered a passing soldier?"
"oh"
"Holy light is above..."
At this time, Reagan regretted his whim. Sophie was a complete idiot at chess: either she couldn't figure out the rules, or she mistook a deer for a horse. The knight who was a new teacher felt that his enthusiasm for teaching had been greatly affected. Just as Reagan was playing with Sophie
At the strong request, he rearranged the chessboard and prepared for another duel that would make him miserable. A pleasant bell sounded on the ship - the port of Menethil had arrived.
"Okay, now that we've arrived at the port, let's keep this game of chess until we get to Stormwind City." Reagan ignored the elf's resentful eyes, happily put away the chess pieces and got off the ship.
"Hmph, who cares about this? You're an impatient man." Seeing that pretending to be pitiful was ineffective, Sophie attacked the knight who was walking fast in front with a fierce eye roll.
Regen led Sophie to the Griffin Management Office, and found that the reception desk at the door was unusually unattended. Regen rang the bell and asked, "Excuse me, is anyone here?"
"Come on, come on!" A slender man ran out from inside, "What do you want?"
Regen was stunned for a moment. Generally speaking, the person in charge of the Griffin Management Office would not be replaced unless there was an irresistible natural or man-made disaster. He still clearly remembered that the last time he received him was an enthusiastic man named Saida.
The female dwarf, Regan asked tentatively: "Are you the new gryphon administrator? I remember that there was a dwarf named Yoda some time ago."
"Hey, you are remembering it wrong. It is true that I am the new administrator, but the previous one was not named Yoda. She was the most warm-hearted Aunt Saida in our city." The skinny man introduced enthusiastically
Ragen secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, it seems that I really remembered it wrong. I'm sorry! Please also ask you to prepare two griffins for us to fly to Stormwind City. We have urgent matters and need to leave immediately."
The skinny man said with a troubled expression: "It's unlucky that you came here. All the griffins flying to Stormwind City have been rented out. If you have to wait for the next batch of griffins, your trip may be delayed until noon tomorrow."
Ragen frowned and said, "How could this happen? It's only the afternoon and you don't have any griffins available. So don't all the people rushing to Stormwind City have to stay here overnight?"
Sophie interjected: "Can't you temporarily second the griffons from other routes to Stormwind City?"
The thin man lowered his head to cover his greedy eyes: "Beautiful lady elf, it's not that we don't want to do this, but the number of griffons on each route is strictly regulated. If the route is paralyzed due to the private transfer of griffins,
, we are going to lose our jobs..."
"Okay, let's go, Sophie." Regan impatiently interrupted the chattering man and led the elf towards the horse market.
After the two of them walked away, a strong man wearing Theramore sergeant's armor came out of the house and threw a small bag of coins to the skinny man, "Well done, some firewood."
"It is my honor to serve you, Lord Handel," the man named Gan Chai said with a bow, "How do you plan to deal with these two people?"
Handel gave him a cold look: "Don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked, or you may become like the female dwarf in the house! Just hold on to the purse in your hand."
"Yes, yes, thank you for your kindness," Gan Chai said hurriedly
"Find a place to bury the body inside. I don't want to be chased by dwarves all over the city."
"Yes, sir." Gan Chai laboriously put the dwarf's body into a bag and dragged it behind the house. Just as he was about to throw the body into the dug cave, a long sword stabbed him through. He looked in disbelief.
He glanced at Handel who had drawn the sword from his chest, and slowly fell into the big hole he had dug.
——Legen and Sophie, who didn’t know what had happened, had just left Menethil on horseback. “Regen, can you see,” Sophie whispered to the knight, “that thin man just now was lying.”
"Oh, you also noticed it?" Regan was a little surprised by the elf's keen intuition.
"Well, he was a little panicked when he first came out of the house. Although he calmed down quickly afterwards, the feeling of being overwhelmed was too obvious," Sophie said with her fingers, "and he had a very strong smell on his body.
The faint smell of blood suggests that he had fought with or killed someone in the room, and he looked at me with a very lewd look, and he was definitely not a good person!"
"Well, except for the last one, everything else is very reasonable." Regen smiled and nodded.
"But why did he lie? Even if he didn't provide the gryphon, we could still get to Stormwind City if we rode overnight," Sophie asked puzzledly
"Because then they don't have to ride on griffins in the sky to intercept us," Regan replied nonchalantly, "I'm right? Friends behind the tree."
"As expected of the strong man who killed Van Cleef," a high elf in black walked out from behind the tree, "Come out, our guests have arrived!"
Following his shout, seven or eight interceptors, also dressed in black, jumped out from both sides of the road and surrounded Regen and Sophie.
Regen narrowed his eyes and stared at the leader-looking high elf: "I remember where we should have met, right?"
"Excellent memory," the high elf took off the black scarf that covered his face, bowed to the two of them, and said, "The manager of Theramore Wizard Tower, Alex Shiloh, greets you."
Sophie took off the long bow hanging next to the saddle and said with a stern expression: "It seems that you traitors who betrayed Elune must be the culprits who kidnapped King Wrynn."
"Oh! Beautiful Miss Night Elf, thank you for showing such favor to a small character who runs errands for others, but my master and I are not the protagonists of this game." The high elf was not moved by Sophie's accusation.
My Lord, I just hope that you can give up this dangerous journey, knowing that your purpose will cause trouble to many people."
Regan patted the snorting horse beneath him: "Thinking about it this way, the last meeting in the Mage Tower was probably not a coincidence. At that time, I also wondered why Ms. Jaina would appoint a rude and uncivilized elf as the housekeeper. Now
I finally got a clue."
Sophie sneered: "When you first arrived in Theramore, you praised that woman as a wise monarch. I think she is just an overly ambitious fool."
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: "Your Excellency Alex, you are so eager to show us the power behind you. Are you treating us as dead people, or do you want us to follow your lead?"
How to doubt a great female lord?"
Alex was startled, and then he forced himself to calm down and said: "You are joking, we will never..."
"Your master will never be Ms. Jaina," Regan interrupted the high elf's defense. "Your poor acting skills cannot hide your true intentions. Although I don't know who your real master is, I think he
It would be nice to see the misunderstanding between Darnassus and Theramore."
Regan slowly drew out his long sword: "In other words, what he wants to provoke more is a fight between all mortal species! Let your men reveal themselves, Sir Alex."
"I have to say, you are indeed a very good human being." After a moment of silence, a man in black next to Alex emerged from the crowd, and in Sophie's low voice, he lifted his hood, revealing a ferocious figure.
The black dragon head said, "You know, plots and tricks are not what our dragon clan is good at. I am very happy that you can see through this plot. If it were not for the master's instructions, I would be more inclined to kill you directly, although in this way the master's
The next plan will be a lot more troublesome.”
Regen smiled: "So this high elf chess piece was sent by you to mislead me?"
"No, it's just a skin controlled by the mind." The dragon man used his claws to tear the high elf in half with dull eyes. "He should feel honored that he can at least serve us with dignity before he dies."
Queen's Service"
Sophie looked at the dragon man with blood on his claws in disgust, and whispered to Regen: "The queen they talk about should be the female dragon who hides in the dust mud swamp and digs holes all day long."
"The mistress of Black Dragon Valley—Onyxia?" Regan was stunned.
"Yes, you humble mortals should shudder when you hear this name!" The dragon man blew out a stream of sulfur-smelling smoke from his nose.
Regen shook his head: "Incomprehensible reptile, why can't she just stay in her nest and lay eggs for fun? Wasn't the defeat of Deathwing enough to extinguish this female dragon's ambition?"
"Shut up! Damn mortals," the dragon man shouted angrily, "Lord Winkley will not give you death mercifully. I will pull out your souls and throw them into the lava of Blackrock Mountain to beg for mercy from the master!
"
"Oh, your hobbies are really special." Regen shook the long sword in his hand, and the holy energy wrapped around it like a golden flame. "My hobbies are different from yours, but grilling big lizards is definitely one of them.
Xiang!" Before he finished speaking, an extremely sharp sword light struck Winkley.
The dragon man stretched out his right hand disdainfully. He planned to crush the human being together with his weapon, but the huge pain in his palm at the next moment almost made him faint.
"Damn it! You disgusting insect!" Winkley held his almost broken right palm and howled angrily. "You all, go up and kill him!" The dragon man shouted to the human puppets beside him with red eyes.
Order
The soldiers whose minds were taken away by magic drew their swords and rushed towards Regen, but several long arrows with almost no gaps whizzed over and pinned them to the ground one by one.
"Good archery skills! My beauty!" Regan shouted a title that made Sophie blush, and the epee dance was airtight. Winkley was overwhelmed by his fierce offensive, and soon his huge body fell on him.
It was almost covered with sword marks, but Reigen was fighting more and more freely; the excitement of the holy energy in his body made him almost scream, and the judgment spells poured out like a tide towards the dragon and the servants around him.
"Damn humans!" Winkley roared helplessly and desperately. He painfully discovered that he was no match for a mortal. "No, the dignity of the dragon clan cannot be violated. I want to die together with these hateful insects!" Winkley blushed redly.
His eyes were fixed on the night elf who was aiming at him not far away.
"Roar!" The dragon man roared angrily and used all his strength to fight with Regen. The body transformed by the sacred book actually took several steps back under Winkley's hateful blow. Before Regen could get out of his surprise,
Slowing down, the dragon man's huge body ran straight towards Sophie at an incredible speed!
"Danger!" Regan was anxious. He was about to catch up and stop Winkley, but was surrounded by soldiers who staggered up from the ground. "This damn reptile!" Regan chopped with all his strength.
The undead summoned by the dragon man at the cost of overdrafting his life, but these tough undead creatures could not be destroyed immediately even in the sky full of holy light. Regen almost despaired as he watched the dragon man move towards Sophie, who had nowhere to hide.
Pounced on
There was a loud "clang" sound, and just when Lei Gen almost closed his eyes and couldn't bear to watch, a long sword shot out from the side pierced the dragon man's chest in disbelief.
The power attached to it even carried this huge monster a dozen yards away
"Sophie! Not hurt." Regen, who had escaped from the entanglement of the undead creatures, rushed over. Looking at the elf who was still frightened, he couldn't help but ask: "What happened to that sword just now? Did you throw it out?"
"It's okay, only my arm was scratched. Oh my God, I was so scared just now that I could even smell the bad breath of that dragon!" Sophie said in shock.
Regan walked to the dragon man's huge corpse and pulled out the long sword with a little force; the sharp sword flashed with dark blue light, which should be some kind of powerful magic blessing: "What a good sword!, It's a pity that it doesn't
"Know its origin" the knight sincerely admired
"Her name is Salamaini," a tall human in black robes appeared behind the two of them at some point. "She is formed from the fusion of two twin swords; one is named Sharathol, and the other is
Called Eremeni"
Sophie jumped back a dozen steps like a reflex, and pointed her bow and arrow at the unidentified visitor. Regen looked at the elves in a funny way: "Don't be nervous, Sophie, if this guest wants to kill us, you are the one to do it."
Even if you jump a hundred steps, you won’t be able to escape from his grasp.”
Regen held the long sword upside down and handed the hilt to the man in black: "Thank you very much for your assistance. Forgive me, may I know your name?"
The man in black looked at Regan, nodded and took the sword: "You should know my name. Isn't it because of this mission that you two are standing here?"
Regan and Sophie looked at each other in shock. After a while, they squeezed out a name that no one could believe through their teeth: "Varian Wrynn"
