Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 478 31. Believe it or not, I am a true prophet

In the main tower hall of the Windrunner Manor, it was almost midnight, but the magic wall lamps on the walls were not lit, leaving the entire hall in quiet darkness.

Alleria Windrunner sat alone in the position of the head of the house. She closed her eyes and maintained this position. From dusk to now, the fatigue of the journey has been relieved, and the legendary ranger has also adjusted her state to the best.

Then, she heard a faint voice.

It is not the sound made by humanoid creatures, but the footsteps of wild beasts walking in the dark night. Even if there are soft pads to silence the sound, the faint sound made by cats walking on the ground still cannot be deceived by the ranger. perception.

As a high elf, Alleria also sensed a trace of magic vibrating with her footsteps.

It should be a magical creature.

Such beasts are not uncommon in Quel'Thalas. This land has been illuminated by the light of the Sunwell for nearly seven thousand years, and it is not only the elves who live here that have been infected by magic.

But it is indeed very rare that the beast in front of him is so perfectly integrated into the magic power.

In the darkness, Alleria opened her eyes, and was lightly lifted up by Sasdora who was leaning on her hands. A magic arrow was quietly pulled away with the war bow, and was placed on the bowstring.

As she arose, Myonix also emerged from the shadows of the spirit walk.

This beautiful magical alienated spirit beast looked at Aurelia curiously with its eyes that glowed in the dark.

The arrow aimed at it made it feel extremely threatening, but Big Leopard didn't really care. It is like the most obedient cat, squatting where it appears.

The tail with the shining magic pattern is still sweeping around in place.

As a legendary ranger, Alleria immediately recognized the breath of this beast, a rare spirit beast. What made her even more ominous was that the posture of this beast in front of her was completely tamed.

In other words, this is a hunter's pet.

Its appearance means that its owner is also nearby, maybe right here.

"Snapped"

A cold hand was suddenly placed on Alleria's shoulder, making the legendary ranger's body tense and stiff for a moment, and she almost jumped up.

She swore that she didn't feel any breath approaching at all.

The slender body of Windrunner's mother, who appeared from the shadows, was still entangled with the black smoke of the shadow that had peeled off and dissipated. Her posture was very similar to that of a high-level assassin breaking out of the shadow.

It's a secret that even Boo Laike doesn't know.

In the constant exchanges with his disciples, Laike is not the only one who has grown up.

General Liresa, who is good at learning, also learned many useful skills from her disciples, and even quietly completed the shadow trial, becoming a high-level assassin.

In the dead darkness, Liresa let out a light sigh.

she says:

"You are the same as ever, my daughter.

Since childhood, you have always been attracted by the things in front of you, and ignored the changes around you. In this respect, you are far inferior to your sister.

And you are so careless now, is it because you have found a support that allows you not to care about the danger behind you? "

"Do not."

When she heard this illusory but real voice, the tense body of the eldest daughter of Windrunner relaxed for a moment. She put down the bow in her hand and said in a low voice:

"I'm so careless because I believe I won't get hurt tonight.

I believe that no matter what kind of stranger you become, you will never stab your own sharp knife at your favorite family. You see, I didn't even set a trap.

Not ready to face a fight either, I'm just looking forward to a reunion with a traveler. "

She turns around.

Unprepared, he threw himself into the arms of the ghost with a body behind him, and hugged her tightly.

"I miss you so much, Mom. I'm sorry that I wasn't by your side when you needed me the most. If I could fight by your side, maybe

It was my willfulness that killed you.

I can't forgive myself, I dare not go back to my hometown, I dare not face Cirvanas and Vereesa, I dare not face Lilas, and I dare not face the questions of the clansmen.

They are questioning the choice I made between my family, my motherland and foreigners, but I never want to give up on you.

If I had to choose again, I would never keep that stupid oath again."

The eldest daughter was crying in her arms.

The intensity and sincerity of this burst of emotion made Windrunner's mother, who was already holding back her anger, soften her heart in an instant.

She didn't question her daughter and that human again.

She stretched out her hand and patted her daughter's shoulder lightly, just like when she was young, every time she was reprimanded in training, she sneaked up to talk to her.

poor child.

These words, these self-blame and remorse that cannot be told to others, must have been held back in her heart for a long time.

"I believe that if you have another chance to choose, you will still support human beings. I can't understand what kind of character you are, my daughter.

Brave, righteous, never yielding, and at the same time, there are some innate idealism in my heart that cannot be wiped away. "

Liresa hugged her silently sobbing daughter in the dark, she felt Alleria's emotions venting, she said softly:

"But which windrunner is not like this? From the ancestor Natalas to the present, generations of windrunners have shed their heads and blood for this country and this land.

We guard Quel'Thalas, we dedicate our loyalty to it, we know that this country is not perfect, but we use our own strength to make this country more perfect.

You have done nothing wrong.

You just stood up when everyone acquiesced to let Quel'dorei bear the stain of the oath, and used your sacrifice to preserve the dignity of all high elves.

As it turns out, my daughter is the most sober person in the country, and the most far-sighted.

My misjudgment of strategy killed me on the battlefield. And all your hard work in the early stage brought back trusted allies to Quel'Thalas when he needed it most. "

Windrunner's mother patted her daughter on the shoulder, with a sense of pride as a mother, and said:

"You did nothing wrong, you saved this country, you saved Windranger's reputation, and you made up for my fatal mistakes of arrogance and stupidity.

You make me proud even in death, my Alleria. "

"But you praise me so much, it can't erase my pain after hearing that you died in battle, mother."

At this moment, the legendary ranger is like a coquettish child. She raised her head, with tears in her eyes, and carefully looked at her mother's current posture.

Her affectionate prayer said:

"When you come back this time, do you want to stay?

Please, please stay, please let me make up for my regrets and make this family whole again. I dare not tell Cirvanas the news that you still exist.

I know she can't take it. "

"I have come to say goodbye to you, my daughters."

Windrunner's mother gently wiped away her daughter's tears, she whispered in the dark:

"I have embarked on a road that I don't know what the outcome will be, but I must finish it. This is for a great goal, and it is an important thing for the Windrunner family to fulfill their oath of loyalty.

I must remain in the darkness until the light comes.

You must forget about me.

You cannot tell other people the news of my existence, you have to accept the fact that I am dead, and you have to continue to do your duty and mission as the eldest daughter well.

I want you back to tell you my decision. "

Liresa looked at the family war bow in Alleria's hand. She stretched out her fingers to touch it, and she could still feel the magic power inside the war bow, cheering for the master's return.

"As the head of the Windrunner family, I announce that Alleria Windrunner will become the new leader of all Windrunners, and the family relics will truly unlock the power for you."

In the announcement of Windrunner's mother, Alleria looked at the war bow in her hand in surprise.

Sasdora, who has been used by her all the time, seems to have truly come alive at this moment, showing in her hands the incomparably vivid posture of the ranger sacred object when it was in the hands of her mother.

An invisible wind whirled around the bowstring, and its shape seemed to be changing.

As a sacred object created by Quel'Thalas with all the power of civilization, it naturally has multiple forms to adapt to the power characteristics of different users.

"Now, you are the real master of Sasdora, go and lead your sisters."

Liresa took a step back, as if to melt into the shadows, and she severed the last connection between herself and Sasdora, so that her daughter could truly control the power of this family relic.

This is the truth she did not tell her disciples.

But Windrunner's mother is very suspicious. Bu Laike probably guessed this point a long time ago, because in the hands of his disciples, there are many sacred objects of power similar to Sasdora.

Her disciple had no intention of stopping this action, which made Liresa feel a little more at ease.

"Mother."

Alleria didn't have the joy of holding the sacred object in her heart. She had a strong feeling that if she let her go now, she would lose her mother again.

And this time, it is likely to be a longer loss.

"I'm not done yet."

Liresa raised her hand, interrupting her daughter's hold. In the darkness, she pulled up her hood to cover her eyes.

she says:

"I want you to stay in Quel'Thalas.

I want you to succeed Sylvanas as Ranger General. Your sister is excellent, and she can perfectly fulfill her mission to Quel'Thalas.

But her personality is too indifferent, not sociable, and politically ignorant, so she is not suitable to be a ranger general.

Only if you take over that position, can the alliance between humans and elves be solidified. The Sun King allows members of the Silvermoon Council to attack your sister in the hope that she will voluntarily give up the position of general.

The Sun King also saw Sylvanas' flaws.

Your sister lacks enough prestige, she is not ready, but what she lacks, you have earned for you through your foresight.

She will be your best lieutenant.

You must do as I tell you. "

"Do not!"

Alleria refused loudly:

"Quel'Thalas needs a better general than me and Shiva! That's you. You can't just abandon your mission and duties and flee into the darkness like a coward.

I've lost you once.

I will not allow you to leave me again, I have arranged for you to be promoted by the Holy Spirit in the Holy Light Church, mother! You can't leave me, you can't leave this land that calls you. "

Liresa was silent for a few seconds after her daughter's speech.

Afterwards, Windrunner's mother casually took off the dark war bow behind her and let out a playful laugh. Minnie, who had been squatting there all the time, moved her body and escaped into the soul walk.

"I didn't intend to talk to you about this matter again, but since you brought it up, I'm going to ask you a question."

Liresa raised her war bow, looked at her daughter, and said:

"Do you think that paladin is your life's destiny? You know, in my opinion, he is not worthy. In some weird dreams when the Naglfar was asleep, I saw another You in this posture.

my daughter.

In that story of yours, your partner is a true god.

Also, how are you going to stop me from leaving? "

"use this!"

Alleria also raised the hunting relic that had been released with power in her hand. She looked at her mother without fear, and casually threw a few relics of holy light wrapped in her hands.

As soon as the thing hit the ground, a golden chain bound Liresa Windrunner in place.

This is the imprisonment of the undead in the holy light magic.

The eldest daughter of the Windrunner brushed her long golden hair, revealing the sky-blue battle patterns on her face, and said:

"Turalyon may not be perfect, but I have my heart set on him, and I don't need anyone's blessing for my marriage, and your weird dreams don't affect that.

I said, I won't let you leave me again! "

"Ah, my disciple is worthy of being a prophet."

Windrunner's mother sighed. Being imprisoned in the holy light, she moved her arms and said softly:

"He was instilling his weird thoughts in me all the way, he predicted that my trip would not be smooth, and he said crazy things like 'mothers are kind and daughters are filial'.

Probably because I have family problems, I desperately want to see others like him.

What a bad character.

but."

When Liresa was speaking, she reached out and took out a black epee covered with sword cloth from her bag, and carried it behind her back. She clasped the golden chain that bound her in front of her.

In the entanglement of the blue necromantic sparks on the fingertips, and in the astonishment of Alleria's gaze, the Holy Light Charm that Turalyon handed over to her was so easily pinched inch by inch by his mother. break open.

"You don't really think that this holy light trick can trap your old mother, do you? My ignorant daughter."

Windrunner's mother moved her fingers in a piece of golden broken light. When she raised her head, the eyes under the hood changed into ghostly blue soul fires that made Alleria's heart tremble.

"If you come back with your little lover, it might still make me feel tricky, but tonight I'll give you the last lesson of your ranger lessons.

The most powerful hunters often appear as prey.

You are not the only one who made preparations in advance, daughter.

Come, hold your arms and strengthen your will. Let me see how much you have improved since I died? "
