Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 977 73. Your son is more promising than you, so stop being the king and give him the throne

While Muradin and Bu Laike were talking about dwarven secrets, the mead hall was bustling with activity.

The mortal warriors who entered Hell, killed Hela and returned victoriously were sought after by the heroic spirits. On the table full of delicious food and wine, the heroic spirits shouted the name of the warriors and competed with them for wine. .

No warrior would refuse such a feast, and even Grom the Destroyer enjoyed the noise.

That's how soldiers should be.

Drink the strongest wine and fight the craziest battles.

But not everyone was here, Jin and Darius had already left first, and they used the Rainbow Bridge of Sky Fortress to jump directly into the northern end of the Kalimdor continent.

Then, under the leadership of Odin's raven Munin, they headed towards Ashen Valley to find the moon god's sickle that had been lost for nine thousand years.

It is a matter of the safety of a country. As a king, Gene really has no time to waste on a celebration banquet. However, given the huge area of ​​the Ashenvale forest and the rugged terrain, even with Mu Ning leading him, Gene will have to complete the task of searching for the holy relic. Things take time too.

"Give me another drink! I'll tell you about the fight that Bo Laike and I had with N'Zoth in Kul Tiras."

At a table at the edge of the mead hall, Fenner sat there in a state of intoxication, bragging to the crowd of Valkyries surrounding her who were congratulating her.

She was talking loudly about her adventures with Braike. The Battle of Dalaran was also a hot topic in the Hall of Valor. After all, Emperor Thoradin also took the heroic warriors to participate in that battle.

Now listening to Fenner bragging in the first person, a group of Valkyries who came to relax are also very engrossed in listening.

The stories of mortals certainly lack a sense of power.

But that kind of unyielding fighting spirit and the turning point of defeating the strong with the weak can always make people want to stop.

Fenner was just a little regretful.

Her eloquence is not very good. If Xiao Xingxing is allowed to come here, she will definitely be able to tell a story with twists and turns and attract everyone's attention.

Alas, other people's talents cannot be envied after all.

However, Fenner, who was drunk and bragging, looked around, only to find that the stinky old man who was here just now had disappeared, and she didn't know where he went.

Hey, what a dispirited, annoying guy.

But Fenna is not pleasing to the eyes of people, so what that person did was wrong. She really misunderstood her father. It wasn't that Dai Lin didn't want to stay in the mead hall to enjoy the celebration banquet, but that he was summoned.

Summoned by a "hidden boss" who exists in the Hall of Valor.

From the honey wine hall to a palace shining with arcs in the east, after crossing the unique portal of the Hall of Valor, Dai Lin entered the hunting ground in the large area of ​​the Hall of Valor.

Eternal Hunting Ground!

This is a place built by Odin for the heroic spirits to enjoy the fun of hunting after fighting. It covers a very large area, and there is a rolling mountain.

There must be a strange magic and a demiplane connection similar to the Kingdom of Shadows.

Maybe this hunting ground is actually located in a certain mysterious area of ​​the material world, otherwise it would be hard for Dai Lin to imagine the feeling of such a mountain floating in the sky.

And the "leisure" of the heroic spirits is still too exaggerated for mortals.

The panhorn sheep and deer at the bottom of the food chain in this hunting ground are as big as the tallest war horses in the human kingdom. The goat strolling leisurely in the grass was hit hard by Dai Lin, and the admiral probably would have been in pain for a while.

As for those predators, it's even more remarkable.

From time to time, crimson storm dragons fly in the sky. They are the guards of the hunting ground and a part of the ecological chain, and occasionally prey on goats and deer.

The predators on the ground are mainly shadow cheetahs, iron mane bears, and a group of giant wolves wandering in the mountains.

The human heroic spirit who led Dai Lin into the hunting ground was still introducing it to him with great interest.

"We all like the Hall of Valor. We didn't get used to it when we first came here, but after a big hunt, we quickly became familiar with it. Emperor Thoradin really likes this hunting ground where power and danger coexist.

It's where he spends his free time when he's not fighting.

Recently, the emperor is trying to challenge the horror legends in this hunting ground.

A giant wolf named Fenrir.

That terrifying beast is the wolf king in this eternal hunting ground. Many heroic spirits have died in its hands, and no one has dared to challenge it for many years. But the emperor is expected to succeed.

He likes wolves very much, and has always wanted a war wolf as his pet. "

"After all, Stromgarde was built under the guidance of the black wolf, and the emperor should like it."

Dai Lin was walking on the path of the hunting ground. While looking around, he said:

"If the emperor really wants a wild wolf, I can consider knocking Jin unconscious and sending it over.

I think the Emperor would like him. After all, the people of Gilneas have been trying to compete with Stormgard for the orthodoxy of Stromgarde. If Genn is given a chance to serve the Emperor, he will never refuse.

The emperor can put him on a dog leash and let him bite people, he will be a good dog, I can guarantee it. "

"Hahaha, you really know how to joke, Admiral."

The human heroic spirit laughed loudly, and said:

"It's a pity I didn't fight alongside you while I was alive."

"No, soldier, of course I am also on the Burning Plains. We have fought together, and it was your bravery that allowed us to defeat the group of greenskins."

Dai Lin said seriously:

"Also, I'm not joking, I really intend to do so, Gene has been very arrogant since he became a werewolf, I think he should be taught a lesson.

But speaking of it, was the emperor always alone in the Hall of Valor? "

"Why do you ask that?"

The human spirit said in amazement:

"Everything is good in this palace, except that there are no women. The Valkyries are all graceful and powerful at the same time. If you dare to tease them, you will end badly, and you will be hanged and beaten.

And the emperor has always kept himself clean."

"you sure?"

How Dai Lin looked at the surrounding environment felt familiar.

After all, when he was young and had a tryst with Mrs. Jin Jian, he also liked to choose such a woodland. Firstly, it was safe for no one to approach, and secondly, coming here would make people feel free and exciting.

Dai Lin, who had two wives, understood this well. He felt that Emperor Thoradin was not just in the Eternal Hunting Grounds just to pass the time.

Maybe the Emperor has conquered a Valkyrie, or more?

But these are very personal guesses, so there is no need to tell others.

"Okay, it's here. In front of you is the hill where the emperor observed Fenrir's activities. Go there by yourself and don't just run around."

The human spirit who led the way exhorted:

"In this hunting ground, apart from Wolf King Fenrir, there is also a Bear King and a Leopard King. The Bear King is very difficult to deal with. As for the Leopard King

It is said that he escaped many years ago, and now he does not know where he went. "

After speaking, the human heroic spirit made a standard military salute to Dai Lin, then turned and strode away.

He's going back to the mead hall for today's feast.

I heard that the Valkyries also came to participate, which is very rare. The Valkyries have their own banquet hall, and they rarely come to the mead hall to have fun.

Maybe if you are lucky, you will meet a drunken Valkyrie, and then cough.

Watching the heroic soldiers leave, Dai Lin straightened her clothes and strode towards the hill in front of her. After going around for a while, she saw a tall male heroic spirit hiding in a high place, holding a The cast iron war bow is looking down.

"Come on, come on, keep your voice down, don't disturb that beast."

Emperor Thoradin sensed Dai Lin's approach, he beckoned and said something in a low voice.

Dai Lin also cooperated with her body, hid in the grass and approached, looking down from a high place, in front of the cave under the cliff below, a golden giant wolf was resting in the sun.

That guy is huge!

Each tauren is probably the same as chewing snacks. On the waist and legs of the giant wolf, there are mysterious natural magic patterns of khaki, as well as many scars, and even broken arrows stuck on it.

But the wolf king didn't notice it, and didn't care about such a small injury at all.

"Fenrir is a famous legendary beast. It is growing towards the level of the wilderness demigod, but that is not an easy task. After I came to the Hall of Valor, I fell in love with it at first sight."

Emperor Thoradin, who looked very similar to his previous appearance, stroked his beard and said to Dai Lin who was watching him:

"I want to tame it as the first memorable victory of my heroic career. I invite you to hunt with me, Dai Lin, and I will have a chat with you before the official start.

Don't be so nervous, just relax.

I will not eat you. "

"Your Majesty, what you said is so light, but it cannot conceal the fact that you are the ancestor of mankind."

Dai Lin said helplessly in a low voice:

"Who can remain relaxed when facing you? We descendants have all grown up listening to your legendary stories, and our respect for you has been engraved in our bones.

No human being can calm down at this time. "

"who said it?"

Emperor Thoradin shrugged and said:

"That little guy from your family just talks and laughs happily with me, he's not nervous at all, he looks like someone who does big things."

"Drake? He's seen you?"

Dai Lin blinked, and the Emperor smiled and said:

"He not only met me, he rescued me from the long garrison, and he also sent me into the Hall of Valor. It seems that there are many things your kid didn't tell you.

Rumor has it that your father and son are at odds? "

"Uh"

The general said embarrassingly:

"It's a bit of a 'little contradiction'."

"That's not okay. As a father, you have to set an example for your children, but I'm not qualified to say that you are just fine."

The Great Emperor sighed, and said in a dispirited manner:

"The empire I left behind fell apart very quickly, which shows that I was not a good father, and my children failed to grow up, but what makes me happy is that I still have children that I don't know yet survive.

It was a pleasant surprise. "

"You mean, besides Marshal Lothar, you have other direct bloodlines?"

Dai Lin immediately widened her eyes.

This is a shocking secret for a king who rules one side like him. If what the emperor said is true, it means that the divided human kingdom still has a chance to reunite.

"No, I know what you're thinking, but her existence has nothing to do with the human kingdom."

Thoradin shook his head, glanced down, and said:

"Fenrir is about to wake up, let's get down to business.

I asked you to come here today, and I have three things to say, first, about the union of the human kingdoms, the demons are coming soon, and you have also been reminded by the Lord of War.

After you go back, you must promote the unity of the kingdom as soon as possible. The scale of this war must be far beyond your imagination, and it is not enough to have only humans participating in the war.

Only by uniting all forces that can be united will it be possible for our civilization and the world to survive the crisis. "

"Well, I'll do my best to do it."

Dai Lin nodded and said:

"I know the weight of this matter, and my fleet will make all preparations, but I have to find my missing soldiers first."

"Well, the next thing is the second thing, which is a little personal."

Emperor Thoradin pursed his lips and said in a low voice:

"About Lothar... I already know about him, maybe the moment of Lothar's final destiny is coming, and it may be guided by Bu Laike.

You cannot interfere in this matter, and try not to let others interfere. "

"I will do my best."

Dai Lin said with some uncertainty:

"The factors behind Marshal Lothar are intricate, not only the worldly Wang Quan, but also the power of faith, I don't know what Bu Laike intends to do.

But if he needs help, I will try to help. "

"Very good, that's the kind of attitude you want! Just like Arom back then, he was brave and fearless, never bowing to any difficulties. This is where the character of the Kul Tirans comes from."

The emperor laughed and said:

"You may have inherited that personality. I like you quite a bit, Dai Lin. In my time, you were destined to make a career. But the next incident may make you a little angry. "

Thoradin moved his fingers and said to Dai Lin:

"I saw your performance in the final trial, and frankly speaking, it made me a little dissatisfied. This kind of insufficient victory cannot be sought after by the heroic spirits.

And as a king, you always think too much, which seriously affects your combat effectiveness.

Maybe it's time for you to consider giving up the throne, get rid of the oppression of those mundane affairs, untie your shackles, and be more purely obsessed with finding the power of anger.

I believe that you are far from the end now.

You can also become stronger, you can become a new star in the Hall of Valor, that is the destination of a warrior.

I think Bo Laike is very suitable to be a king. He has begun to approach the essence of darkness and needs a chain to keep him on the side of order.

What do you say? "

"I've thought about it, not to perfuse you, I've really thought about it."

Dai Lin laughed, but was not angry, but said very seriously:

"But not yet, there is still the last cancer in my country, and that is my trouble, and I cannot leave it to my son.

I should give him a pure country for him to show off.

and"

Dai Lin shrugged, breathed a sigh of relief, and said:

"I also want to take advantage of my old age and frailty to try my ideal again, as a last-ditch effort. After that, whether I win or lose, I will take off this burden.

I never liked the crown.

It made me miss a lot. "

"It shouldn't be."

Emperor Thoradin looked at Dai Lin in front of him, and after a few seconds, he said:

"You are so open-minded, so wise, full of courage, and your son is even more outstanding, but he shouldn't have such big differences and conflicts with a father like you.

Also your daughter seems very unhappy with you.

So, Dai Lin, which one is the real you? "

"I don't know, Your Majesty, I ask myself this question every day."

Dai Lin avoided the question, he glanced down and said:

"And I know that if you don't shoot this arrow, Fenrir will be gone."

"It doesn't matter, you can chase after the prey has run away."

Emperor Thoradin stood up abruptly, while drawing his bow, he said:

"It's something that can be tried many times, I just need to win once, but other things don't give you that many chances. I mean, you're a fighter, right?

Then don't avoid the problem.

Come on bravely, like a man from the Asola Empire, and deal with it! "
