Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 1376 9. Underage fighters, the desperate survival of the next generation of hunters and north-nosed thieves [1020]

In the big garden of the Gilneas Royal Palace, yes, it was the big garden where a wall was blown down by the Rende Society before, causing all the rare and exotic beasts domesticated by the royal family to escape.

Liam Greymane, whose body was covered in mud, was lying in the weeds that grew wildly due to neglect.

The eight-year-old boy, with a short knife at his waist, is "on sentry" in a manner that lacks the grace of a prince.

Behind him, the little girl Luo Na Ke Luo Lei, who was also covered in mud, was holding a wooden bow she made herself, and several rabbits that had just been killed were hung around her waist.

These two mud monkey kids seem to have just finished a "hunt".

But in Lorna's arms, there is still a very strange thing.

A crystal bottle filled with fresh milk from the goats at the edge of the garden.

"They're coming, quick! Children! Get back! Dodge their dog noses the way I taught you!"

A few seconds later, Prince Liam, who was lying in the grass, suddenly heard a reminder in his ear. He didn't say much, and moved backwards nimbly, pulling Lorna towards the back.

The two children pinched their noses, and without hesitation plunged into the muddy pool in the back to hide.

Soon several dark werewolves ran from all around, sniffing around with their slender noses, as if looking for "prey",

But the bad smell from the bad-smelling mud made the werewolf's "delicate" nose a little unbearable, so after a few angry roars, these werewolves quickly disappeared into the night.

It was almost dawn.

Sunshine is what these newly transformed werewolves hate the most, and Liam and Lorna who are hiding in the mud can breathe a sigh of relief.

The palace in the dark is the most dangerous place, and it can be better during the day. The sun is their best defense, and it can provide them with the best shelter to look for food.

"Thank you for your help, Lord Ghani."

The two children hid in the mud and did not crawl out until the first rays of sunlight fell.

Like the mud monkey, Lorna no longer saw the delicateness of being the daughter of the great lord. Instead of cleaning up the bad-smelling mud on her body, she sincerely took out a wooden carving of old Gani and thanked it for its warning.

"You can find half a box of dried bread under the rockery on your left. It should have been dropped by the werewolves when they were messing around. The taste of the bread is not good enough, but it is enough for the two of you to have a full meal."

Old Garni's shrill voice sounded from the wood carving, and it was a friendly reminder to the two ex-princes and noble daughters who had undoubtedly become scavengers:

"Don't go out today, Jin's werewolves and those dark werewolves are switching defenses, they may step up their pursuit of you, just hide in the hiding place and don't come out.

Remember to take good care of little Tess and don't make her cry.

I will find a way to keep the milking goat for you. Oh, yes, there is no need to keep it, let the werewolves eat the goat.

Anyway, I don't like its bad temper. "

"Ah! Old Mr. Gani, are you going to abandon the two of us?"

Upon hearing this, little prince Liam suddenly said sadly:

"We know we haven't been able to find too much rubbish as a tribute for you, but we will continue to work hard, please don't give up on us, at least... at least send little Tess out!"

"Hahaha, little fool."

Old Garni laughed at the child's innocence, and the god of scavengers said in a relaxed and mysterious tone:

"Go back to your hiding places, brave children, your runaway mother has found great helpers for you, and they will come to your rescue soon.

Although we haven't known each other for a long time, I really appreciate the courage and wisdom you two have shown in the past few days. I thought that if there is a chance in the future, I would welcome you to be my scavengers.

You guys are really talented.

But it's a pity, you two were born noble, and you are destined not to belong to the humble, so let's take these few days as a good memory between us.

Goodbye, boys.

Old Garney is going to pick up the trash. "

After finishing speaking, the old Ghani woodcarving in Rona's hands crumbled into debris. This was the silent farewell of the God of Garbage, and the big eyes of little girl Rona were filled with tears.

She felt that she had lost a good friend, and after a few days of torment by the manager, it seemed to the well-born girl that being old Garney's scavengers was not unacceptable.

"We'll find it, don't be sad."

While comforting Lorna, Liam took her hand and went back to their hiding place.

As he walked around the crumbling rockery and entered a half-flooded cave, the little prince said:

"I heard that good old Garni has believers in the Stormwind Kingdom. It is said that there are also some poor people who worship old Garney in Stratholme. When we find Mom and Dad and they regain their senses, we can go find them. They, find old Garni again, and thank him."

"Dad and them."

It was fine for Liam not to mention it, but it made Lorna even more discouraged when he mentioned it.

These two children have seen with their own eyes how Lord Jean and Darius were lured into darkness by the damn scythe. If Queen Mia hadn't tried her best to protect them, they might have become the slaves of those werewolves. one of them.

After Queen Mia was forced to flee the royal city, the two children became even more helpless.

If it weren't for the sudden appearance of the old Garni statue that Lorna had collected during the trip, it would be impossible for the two children to escape the werewolf's pursuit.

And even if the situation has gotten so bad, Liam and Rona still have a "little oil bottle" beside them.

"Tess slept soundly."

After washing their bodies in the pond at the entrance of the cave, Liam and Lorna tiptoed into the depths of the cave.

Her Royal Highness Princess Tess Greymane, who is just over one year old this year, is sleeping soundly on a "crib" made of straw, strips of cloth and blankets picked up from the garbage dump.

Her chubby face did not have the sorrow of big brother and sister, as if she was still lying in a comfortable palace, well protected by her mother and nannies.

"The little guy really doesn't have any worries, and he's heartless! This little guy doesn't even know how much danger we have to pay to get her a bite to eat."

Lorna complained unhappily, and the daughter of the great lord put her wooden bow aside, and took out the crystal milk bottle from her bosom that had been kept warm with her body temperature.

With an unskilled gesture, he picked up little princess Tess and nursed her.

Although children of this age still need some other complementary foods, even a garbage god as powerful as Old Ghani can't drive two children under ten years old to find more things.

"My sister must thank you when she grows up."

Liam squatted aside, watching Rona, who grew up with his childhood sweetheart, take care of his younger sister. Although he was young, the scene in front of him still made him feel the "virtuousness" of little Rona.

He took out the air-dried bread he had just found under the guidance of old Garney from his waist pouch, and took out a bottle of jam with a strange taste from under Tess' "baby crib".

The little prince spread the jam on the bread with a wooden fork as if he was having a hard time. He first made two pieces of sandwich bread for Lorna, and took the remaining pieces of broken bread for breakfast by himself.

Although down and out.

But there must be some dignity that should be there.

"Tell me, who is the helper my mother found?"

Liam ate the bread and looked at the peaceful entrance of the cave. While leaning on his short knife to "watch" there, he whispered to Rona:

"Is it Lord Godfrey and them? I heard that the Lord has been organizing troops on the border to resist werewolves."

"Probably not."

Lorna shook Tess in her arms. The little princess smiled on her chubby face while eating goat milk. This child was really well-behaved, and she seemed to have a natural keen sense of danger.

Little Tess seemed to know that the current situation was bad, so when Liam and Lorna hid in the cave, she almost never cried, and slept until food was brought to her mouth when she was hungry.

While teasing little Tess's face, Rhona said:

"Although Lord Godfrey has soldiers, they are obviously unable to cross the forest that has been occupied by werewolves to reach the royal city. I guess, Mia's mother should have found the Church of the Holy Light, or the assassins.

"The Uncrowned?"

Prince Liam frowned, and he said:

"But Father says the Uncrowned are our enemies, especially Brad Laike Shaw, who caused the chaos in Gilneas and who spread the werewolf curse here.

Or he turned Lord Darius into a werewolf.

He is our enemy! "

"I hate him too, Liam."

Lorna sighed.

Girls are always more mature, especially after suffering the disasters of the past few years, little Rona seemed to mature all of a sudden. She shook little Tess in her arms and said in a low voice:

"But do you know what dreams I have when I sleep these days? Do you remember that night in Keel Harbor more than a year ago? It was the two of us, Tess, and mother Mia who were assassinated in the rainy night"

"Of course I do, and I'll never forget it."

Prince Liam looked at the dagger in his hand, and he whispered:

"It was Bu Laike Shaw who appeared in the dark rainy night, he was the one who drove the assassins away like a heavenly soldier, and it was he who saved the injured mother and us who were terrified.

It was his subordinates who sheltered us through that chaotic night until dawn.

I admired him back then, but now

wait!

there's noise! "

The little prince hadn't finished expressing his emotion when he heard the noisy sound from outside the cave, which surprised Liam, and quickly rushed up to lie down at the entrance of the cave to take a look, his hair stood on end.

"Run! Lorna! Take Tess and run! The werewolf is coming!"

The little prince turned around and shouted, his face twisted.

His legs were shaking.

In front of his eyes, there were several werewolves screaming and rushing across the pond towards the cave where they were. Without the cover of old Gani's divine power, the smell from these three children could not hide from the werewolf's keen sense of smell. .

Lorna was also taken aback, and hurriedly grabbed the wooden bow at hand. Tess in her arms seemed to feel a fatal crisis, and this well-behaved child began to cry loudly.

She seemed to be trying to use her cries to attract someone who could help them.

"Liam, come back! Come with us!"

Lorna hugged the crying Tess and was about to run out of the garden from the blocked exit at the back of the cave, but when she looked back, she saw Liam holding a dagger and a firecracker hidden in his hand, blocking the entrance of the cave .

"You're crazy! Run!"

Rona screamed.

"Someone has to stop them, or you two won't be able to run away, go! Leave me alone! Go!"

The young prince was trembling.

It can be seen that he is very scared. He knows that even a werewolf can't stop him with his combat skills, but rather than running away, what he wants now is to see his sister and his future wife leave this dangerous situation.

It was what Gene had taught him to do since childhood.

A real man has to protect his family at all times.

I have to say that although Gene himself is more hip, he educates his children really well.

"boom"

The firecracker in Liam's hand fired at close range.

The lead bullets sprayed from the muzzle of the trumpet roared and hit the werewolf who was pounced all over his face. The unlucky ghost was wounded in the nose, and he lay on the ground screaming.

The little prince instantly killed his heart.

Regardless, he jumped forward and stabbed with a sharp short knife. It was his luck that the first knife pierced the werewolf's throat, causing the guy to twitch and struggle in severe pain.

The stinky blood sprayed out, turning Liam into a bloody man, but the little prince seemed to have gained courage from the first kill, allowing him to face the remaining werewolves that rushed towards him.

"Come on! Beasts! The sons of Greymane are not afraid of you!"

The little prince roared and wanted to throw himself out.

But the moment he threw himself out, a hand with a black gauntlet pinched his back collar precisely, dragging him back from the air of death.

While the world was spinning, Liam saw a familiar figure walk out of his own shadow and circle around in place. The cloak inlaid with jagged blades cut the several werewolves in front of him into chunks of flesh flying all over the sky like cutting knives.

Amidst the blood splattering, the bastard who instantly killed the Dark Werewolf turned around and crouched in front of Liam, who was covered in blood, in a familiar posture.

Laike took off his battle helmet, brushed his blond hair, and looked at Liam, who was panting with wide-eyed, sea-blue eyes on the brave boy in front of him.

He said seriously:

"I doubt if you are the son of Jean. This kind of reckless courage is not like the blood of cunning Jean. You'd better ask your mother who is your real father after you go back?"

"Behind you!"

The little prince raised his finger and exclaimed:

"Werewolves! Watch out!"

He saw the pack of wolves rushing behind Bo Laike, yelling.

But the pirates didn't care at all.

The moment those werewolves rushed into the security circle, the Void Watchers hiding around appeared in unison, and the knife wheels and pyramids with faint purple light flew around, and a massacre was staged almost in a second .

And in the cave behind Liam, Maiev held the trembling Lorna with her left hand, and held Princess Tess who had calmed down in her right arms.

Madam Warden looked at the little baby who was sleeping soundly against her cold breastplate.

There was also surprise in her eyes.

she says:

"This baby is simply a natural born assassin. Her instinctive perception of danger and safety is a valuable talent. She even has the aptitude to be a watcher."

"Tess Greymane will not become a watcher, she has her own destiny."

Braike stood up and put his helmet back on. He took the sleeping little Tess from Maiev's hands. Strange to say, when Tess came into Braike's arms, she suddenly opened her eyes, Also showing a giggling smile towards Braike.

"This child will become the assassin queen of human civilization in the next era!"

The pirate stretched out his finger to tease the giggling and happy little princess. He lifted up the little princess Tess in front of his eyes with the classic movement like a baboon lifting a little lion.

He said aloud:

"Whether the Uncrowned One can become bigger and stronger and achieve greater glory in the future depends entirely on her, you brat! Why didn't you say anything before peeing! Bastard!

Is this revenge for your father?

How can you do this! "
