Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 486

"Second sister?"

In the afternoon at the Windrunner Manor, the little brother Lilas, who was still pale, walked into the room where Cirvanas was resting, carrying a lunch.

This is actually the residence of the third sister Vereesa Windrunner.

Because Nathanos was placed in Cirvanas' room, the injured second sister was moved here.

The younger brother knocked on the door, but got no response. He thought that the second sister was resting, but when he entered the room, he found Cirvanas lying on the bed.

Leaning there, staring blankly at the front.

Her eyes were wide open, but the light in them was scattered and out of focus, like a wooden man.

The injured calf was carefully treated by Lady Liadrin, who dispelled the chill of death with warm holy light, herbs and bandages.

There was also a bandage on the second sister's cheek.

The wound on her face is not serious, and the wound is not big, but according to Ms. Liadrin, because the condensed shadows were drawn across, a small scar may be left on Cirvanas' cheek .

For pretty girls, this is an intolerable flaw.

Daniela believes that the downcast posture of the second sister is definitely not caused by knowing that she will have a scar on her face.

The second sister also has a lot of scars on her body.

She participated in the battle with her mother very early, she is not the kind of delicate elf lady. She doesn't see scars as flaws, but like those men, she sees them as a badge of honor.

To be honest, the second sister is much more imposing than most male high elves.

At home, Lilas is most afraid of the second sister, especially when she is angry, she is exactly like her mother, full of majesty.

"Second sister?"

Lilas put the dinner plate on the table, he walked forward, sat beside the second sister's bed, and called out softly.

"Huh? Brother, what's the matter?"

Cirvanas' consciousness seemed to be called back from a distant place, she looked blankly at her younger brother, and the focus in her eyes gradually recovered.

She didn't seem to know what expression to use, so she could only show a blunt smile.

"Ms. Liadrin said that Mr. Nathanos' injuries are not serious and he may recover in a few days."

Lilas said something in a low voice.

"Really? That would be great."

Cirvanas replied, the tone was still so hollow, which frightened Lilas, he suspected that the second sister was stimulated last night, and she hadn't recovered yet.

Thinking about it, the second sister who has always been proud was first easily defeated by a pirate, then learned that her lover was actually a member of the pirates, and finally learned from the big sister that her mother was still alive.

In the end, he was almost shot by an arrow from the damn pirate.

But it was the lover she thought was a traitor who sacrificed his life to save her life.

Lilas still remembers the embarrassment of the second sister holding Nathanos Maris tightly at the end of last night. At that time, Mr. Maris bleed a lot, as if he was dead.

The second sister's expression at that time was already a little bit wrong.

A series of blows, all-round stimulation from body to mind, Lilas was a bystander throughout the whole process, and he could empathize with his second sister.

If he had encountered such a situation, he would probably be even more miserable than the second sister.

"The big sister went to see the Sun King."

Lilas held the cold and frightening hand of the second sister, and he whispered:

"She didn't tell me what she was going to do, but I overheard Lord Halduron talking to Lord Lor'themar from outside his chambers, they said"

He peeked at the second sister's expression, and said cautiously:

"They said that Big Sister might take over your position as Ranger General, and they also said that Big Sister is indeed more suitable to be Ranger General than you. It's not that you are bad.

It's just that you are still lacking in prestige and diplomacy.

However, the Sun King should give you the position of Ranger Lord and Second General of the Farstrider Legion. "

"They were right."

Cirvanas didn't show disappointment or anger. On the contrary, she clenched the quilt with both hands, and said in that empty tone:

"I simply don't have the ability to take over my mother's position. Whether it's in terms of strength or knowledge, I'm too far behind. I'm just a poor imitator.

It took my mother less than a year to train a more qualified disciple.

I'm not a genius at all.

I'm no match for Aurelia, in every way."

"No, Second Sister! Don't listen to that annoying pirate's nonsense."

Rilas retorted:

"Lord Halduron told me that the pirate finally shot that arrow with some kind of power, in the whole of Quel'Thalas, and even in the Kaldorei's Silverwing Sentinel Legion, few people could do it.

At the skill level, he has even surpassed his mother when he was young.

Even if it wasn't you who passed last night, but any knight-errant lord, they would only lose even worse.

It's no disgrace to lose to him. "

"Because he is too strong, is it only natural that I lose? Because others can't beat him, so am I not a loser?"

Cirvanas asked in a complicated tone.

The choked Lilas had nothing to say.

"Little brother, your second sister is not so weak that she can't even accept failure."

The second sister closed her eyes and said softly:

"What I can't accept is that my mother would rather choose a pirate than return to our side. How disappointed are our relatives?"

"no!"

When Lilas heard this, he stood up immediately, and the young elf said seriously:

"I believe that mother will never give up on us, second sister, don't think about it. Big sister had a deep talk with mother last night, maybe she knows more details.

The mother must have had a hard time, and it must be that evil pirate who is persecuting her. "

"Doesn't that prove the incompetence of us people?"

The second sister said:

"We, who can't even protect our mother, are we really qualified to inherit the surname 'Windrunner'?"

"she just"

Lilas wanted to say more, but felt the door behind him being pushed open again.

"Little brother, help me check the situation of General Nathanos. I have something to talk to your second sister about."

Big sister Aurelia's voice sounded at the door.

Lilas turned his head and his expression became dull.

Big sister is still that big sister.

But she has already changed into a set of old green armor. It was the armor that Liresa wore when she died in battle. It is a magical chain armor that only Ranger Generals are qualified to wear.

She hangs her arms and carries her family's battle bow behind her back.

Although his left arm was injured, for a ranger of Alleria's level, opening a bow with one hand was only a basic operation. Anyone who thinks that the wounded Windrunner is easy to deal with is really out of their wits.

"What are you doing there?"

Alleria just came back from Silvermoon City, and she was not in a good mood, and her tone was a little bit more reprimanded. Lilas pursed her lips and glanced at the weak second sister. He stood up silently, Go out the door.

"boom"

The door closes.

There was silence in Third Sister's room, and the two sisters who didn't have a good relationship were looking at each other.

"Not bad, sure enough, this armor is more suitable for you."

Cirvanas who was lying on the bed spoke first, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone, she said:

"Congratulations, you finally took back what belongs to you from me, a 'thief'. You are indeed mother's favorite child.

When she comes home, she must first dismiss me, this annoying bastard, and talk to you alone. "

Alleria didn't answer, she just walked slowly towards her sister.

Cirvanas didn't care.

she says:

"What are you going to do next? As the Patriarch, announce something to me? For example, ban me and Nathanos from continuing."

"Snapped"

The second sister's words were interrupted by a sudden slap.

Her cheeks were turned outward from the blow, the bandages on her face flew out, and the wound that had stopped bleeding began to bleed again.

This slap stunned the second sister.

She covered her face and looked at her sister blankly. Although the two had been in a competitive relationship since childhood and had fought many times, they had never been this simple and rude.

"You feel that you have failed, you feel that you have done something wrong, then I will punish you for what you did wrong. Now the punishment is over, and what happened last night is over, okay?

No matter how hard it is to accept, no matter what its truth is, stop thinking about it. "

Alleria sat beside her younger sister's bed, she looked at Cirvanas tenderly, and said:

"I desperately need you back to your best right now, we have a lot to do.

I can't do it alone, I need your help.

Mother asked me to take over as your general, not because she thought you were not good enough. She chooses to see me instead of you, not because she doesn't love you.

Quite the contrary, Mother's plan for all this, including having Marius usher you away, was to keep you out of the way.

She originally planned that I would be the only one who knew the cold and hurtful truth. It was me who was too reckless to involve you and make you look like this.

It's all my fault.

This proves that I have my shortcomings too. You and I were both losers last night, but together we two loser sisters can do what mother tells me to do well. "

She paused, looked at Sylvanas, and said:

"Calm down?"

"Ok."

The second sister covered her face and nodded.

"Then listen up!

My mother ordered a very important matter to protect the reputation of the Windrunner family. She didn't tell me her reason, but I am willing to believe her.

I would also like to believe you.

Only the two of us can do this together, and once discovered, there will be no place for a Windrunner in all of Quel'Thalas.

We can't do it to someone else, we have to do it ourselves. "

Alleria approached her younger sister's ear and whispered something, and Cirvanas' eyes widened in the next moment. She grabbed Alleria's wrist and said in a deep voice:

"You're crazy! You can't do this!"

"Must do!"

Big sister gave her a firm look.

Cirvana fell silent for a moment, and after a few seconds, she asked:

"And what about that pirate? He's part of Mother's plan, too?"

"I do not know."

Alleria shook her head and said:

"My mother didn't want to talk about him. She just warned us to stay away from him. I felt that my mother was protecting us. That pirate must be a very dangerous person.

Mother didn't think we could handle him.

Facts have proved that we really can't deal with it, at least at sea, we can't deal with it.

But about him, perhaps more can be known from Nathanos.

Sister, I know your character, but Nathanos proved with his practical actions last night that he is indeed worthy of your favor, and he has feelings for you"

"I don't want to talk about it."

Cirvanas lowered her head, she said hoarsely:

"That might be part of that pirate's plan, too.

It's hard for me to trust him like before, and I don't know how to face him. As soon as I close my eyes now, it looks like the arrow pierced his body last night.

At that moment, I saw his eyes.

He is laughing.

He seemed to think that it would be good to protect me like that, even if he died, but the more he was like this, the more contradictory I became. "

"You should talk to him."

In terms of feelings, it was also the first time for Alleria to experience love in the world, so naturally she couldn't give advice to her younger sister. After much deliberation, she could only say:

"Maybe it's okay to talk about it.

We know nothing about the pirate right now, and Nathanos is our only opening. He was able to form a brotherly alliance with that pirate, and the relationship between them must be extraordinary.

I will also check the origin of that pirate through my contacts in the human kingdom. "

"Well, I will."

Before Cirvanas finished speaking, there was a hasty knock on the door, and Pastor Liadrin pushed the door in, holding two letters in her hand.

The priest looked serious, and said to the Windrunner sisters in the house:

"Nathanos is missing, and he left a letter for General Sylvanas. Also, your brother, Lilas Windrunner, went with him.

He also left a letter for you. "

"what?"

Alleria stood up in disbelief, she said:

"There are two legendary rangers, two ranger lords, more than 200 elite far-striders guarding the surrounding area, and the magic monitoring of the Phoenix mages!

A wounded person in Nathanos, how did he disappear without a sound?

Is he also a hidden demigod? "

"It's Hearthstone."

Pastor Liadrin replied helplessly:

"The mages have checked in the past. Nathanos used hearthstones, which should be fine hearthstones made by spellcasters in Dalaran.

You also know the characteristics of that thing. Without raising Renault Bandier's enchantment, the magic barrier of Windrunner Manor cannot prevent Hearthstone from taking effect.

He must have prepared in advance.

No one knew he was carrying that thing, and couldn't track where Hearthstone fell. "

The senior priest handed the letter to the trembling Alleria, and she said:

"Perhaps you can learn what the two of them are thinking from the letter, alas, the affairs of your Windrunner family are always full of such strange twists and turns.

May the Holy Light bless you all. "

——

"hum"

In South Sea Town, nearly ten thousand miles away from Quel'Thalas, Nathanos suddenly appeared from a room and shook his body.

He watched the white rune hearthstone in his hand dim, and then covered his bleeding abdomen and sat on the chair next to him. Beside him, Lilas Windrunner, who was carrying a bag, looked around curiously.

It was the first time he was so far away from home.

"Ahem, let me ask you one last time, have you really made up your mind?"

Nathanos, who was pale, glanced at Lilas, and said:

"Going out to sea from here, you can reach Braike's island in at most three days. You will meet him and your mother there, but have you ever thought about what you will say and what you will do after seeing him? ?”

"I do not know."

Lilas grasped the bag on his shoulders tightly. He carried the bow of the second sister on his back, and the two swords of the second sister stuck in his belt. He said:

"But I don't want to be a burden to my sisters. I'm going to my mother. If she has the time to train a pirate, then she must have time to train me."

The boy said with a tinge of resentment:

"I've had enough of seeing the grief on my sisters' faces, they never told me anything, they kept treating me like a child. But I'm the last man of the Windrunner family.

I'm not such a bitch as the pirate said.

From now on, I will protect the smiles of my sisters and the future of the entire Windrunner family! "
