Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Chapter 1369 2. The eldest lady of the Qiao family and the queen in distress【320】

"Well"

In the shaking carriage, Mrs. Mia Greymane opened her eyes in pain.

She looked at the dilapidated carport swaying above her head and let out a groan with difficulty. She felt as uncomfortable as being run over by an elephant after a night of hangover.

My left hand seemed to be broken, my head hurt, and I felt like I had a concussion.

My chest was also tight, as if I was dizzy after suffering a heavy blow.

Lady Mia tried hard to recall everything that had just happened. Her last memory before she fell into coma was that she tried to ask for help from a passing Gilnean caravan, but the bold businesswoman actually ran her horse into her.

The impact was so powerful that Mrs. Mia felt that her tall chest, which she had always been proud of, was about to be flattened.

asshole!

How dare a little businessman ride his horse to charge at Her Majesty Queen Gilneas? How many heads will you and your family have?

But it's okay

Lady Mia is not one of those traditional noble ladies.

Although she is not a top female warrior like the stupid Fenner who can move mountains with her fists and run horses with her arms, her tough body that has been trained for many years means that she will not lose her life just because of a single impact.

However, taking into account the fatigue accumulated all the way from the royal city to the border and the coma caused by the impact, it is certain that he will be uncomfortable for a long time. And before he was hit by this damn carriage, he had already been injured by the werewolf assassins.

Yes, I was injured!

Damn it!

Queen Mia raised her right arm as if reflexively.

This action touched her wound and caused her to moan in pain again, but the queen still gritted her teeth and endured great pain as she pulled away the guard on her right arm.

When she saw the swollen and gray-black wolf claw wounds, the queen's face suddenly turned pale.

Ruined.

She actually got scratched by a werewolf.

For a Gilnean, she knew all too well what such an injury meant.

"parking!"

A few seconds later, the weak Queen Mia began to slap the carriage, asking the businesswoman who was driving the carriage forward to stop. Her hoarse voice sounded in the carriage, startling the distracted Caitlin.

The eldest lady hurriedly tightened the reins of the horse and relied on her very skilled "driving skills" to park the rickety caravan on the side of the road that was about to leave the Silver Pine Forest.

She looked around, then jumped out of the driver's seat of the carriage with a guilty conscience, and then boarded the carriage from the back of the caravan. Looking at the huddled woman in front of her, Miss Caitlin coughed nervously.

she says:

"Well. I'm sorry for what happened before, madam. I didn't mean to bump into you, and I won't try to get rid of my responsibilities. I will send you to the best doctor in Nanhai Town.

We can coordinate this privately, I mean, privately! Don't go to the authorities.

I don't want to experience the feeling of being in jail in Gilneas. Oh, by the way, I am from Dalaran! "

Miss Caitlin raised her finger and emphasized guiltily:

"Even if you don't agree to negotiate, you have to judge me according to our laws in Dalaran. What I mean is, you can't turn me into a werewolf!

Werewolves are the ugliest, and I don’t want to be like that. "

"What are you talking about? You little idiot."

Queen Mia was in a very bad condition. She was dizzy when she heard Caitlin Barabara talking a lot. She suddenly had a headache and yelled:

"You little girl are so ignorant. Come here and help me clean up. Do you have any clothes? I need to change my clothes. They won't let me go so easily.

The direction you are going in is heading to Nanhai Town, right?

To go there, you must pass the inspection at the Silverpine Forest border. If they find out that I am with you, you will be finished, little girl. "

"ah?"

Caitlin was a little confused by Queen Mia's words.

It took her a few seconds to react. She took a cautious step back and looked at Queen Mia in front of her. She quietly held the magic scroll in her pocket and said suspiciously:

"You sound like a big shot. Who are you? And you said 'them'? Are they werewolves? Why did you get into trouble with werewolves? Ah, I heard from the mages before that the werewolves under Jean's command were in Silver Pine recently. Forest and Ren De will fight.

Are you from Rendehui? "

"I"

Queen Mia originally wanted to reveal her identity, but she rolled her eyes, coughed a few times, and said:

"Yes, I am a human druid apprentice of the Rende Society. I have important news to send back to Moonlight Grove, but I must first get rid of the werewolf pursuers.

Little girl, you don't look like an ordinary person either.

Although you try your best to pretend to be a rude guy, you can't hide the 'nobility' in you. I'm not interested in your secrets, but I don't want to involve you in my troubles.

So leave your carriage and your disguise to me.

You go home quickly!

Warn your family to stay as far away from Silverpine Forest as possible during this period. It is best to move to Ironforge or Stormwind Kingdom. Something terrible is going to happen here. "

The queen sighed and warned again:

"If you still have the means to contact the Church of Holy Light and the big figures in the Kingdom of Lordaeron or the Kingdom of Stromgard, you must warn them.

The worgen of Gilneas are no longer under Genn's control.

A very scary guy has emptied out and bewitched Genn Greymane. He and his evil servants are gathering the werewolves, and they are preparing to launch a 'great conquest' to the outside world.

The werewolves plan to turn all the land in the northern frontier, even the elven territory of Quel'Thalas, into the earthly kingdom of their dark evil god. "

"Ah this!"

Caitlin's hair stood on end when she heard this, and she instinctively planned to retreat, but then she felt a wave of ecstasy amidst her fear.

Isn't this the life she wants?

Encountering such an exciting thing as soon as she left home was really frightening and exciting. However, after finally escaping from the house, Caitlin was definitely not willing to run back to Dalaran.

Apart from anything else, if I go back, my old man will definitely grit his teeth and lock him in the damn mage tower.

It would be difficult for her to escape. The Archmage's Mage Tower was definitely not a place where she, a little mage and a half-time thief, could escape.

So Caitlin also rolled her eyes. Under Queen Mia's stunned gaze, not only was she not afraid, but she approached with a weird smile.

While taking the initiative to take out the magic spring water to help Queen Mia wipe her messy cheeks and body, she whispered to her:

"Well. I can't go back for the time being, so I won't tell you the reason. In short, I thank you for not wanting me to get into trouble, but I am a person who naturally loves to join in the fun.

You said you have terrible news and evidence, how about this? "

Caitlin blinked and said:

"I happen to be going to Tol Barad, why don't you come with me? Let's go there to seek help. The mages from Narthalas Academy will definitely help you inform other big shots.

And there is also a very powerful defense force there. If you go there, you won't be afraid of werewolves chasing you.

There is also a Druid College there.

You can find your organization once you go there. "

Caitlin's suggestion made Queen Mia laugh.

She looked at the energetic little girl in front of her, and her smart and energetic eyes, and she seemed to see herself twenty years ago in this girl.

At that time, I was also so rebellious. I was surrounded by a boring life all day long and longed for adventure. Then when I ran away from home for the first time, I met Jean who had returned from being a soldier when he was young. As a result, he was tricked into sleeping with him.

Perhaps it was the good memories of the past that made the queen's tone become gentler.

She shook her head and said:

"Your idea is very good, little girl, but there are two very important problems. First, the elf mages of Narthalas have arranged a mysterious barrier around Tol Barad, which cannot even be seen on the ocean. it.

It is difficult for ordinary people to find it, let alone land on the island.

second

I have something I must tell you. "

The queen gritted her teeth and opened the wound on her arm.

The strange scar made Caitlin cover her eyes in horror at the first glance. She heard the mature and steady elder sister in front of her with a good figure and still charming voice saying to her in a hoarse voice:

"I was scratched by a werewolf, kid. Although it is not as fatal as a direct bite, but according to my experience, it will take up to a week for me to transform into a terrifying out-of-control werewolf.

I don't have time to accompany you to slowly search for Tol Barad. I have to go to Tarren Mill. I have to contact the Church of the Holy Light. My son and daughter are still in Gilneas City.

My husband has gone crazy.

I have to get my children out before he hurts them! "

"Then you have to go to Tol Barad with me, big sister."

When Caitlin heard that the big sister in front of her wanted to save her children, the sense of justice in her heart immediately exploded. She didn't care about exposing her identity, grabbed Queen Mia's hand, and said to her:

"I have a way to land on that island directly. As long as we reach Nanhai Town, you can find your fellow druids in one day at most. They will definitely help you rescue your relatives.

It’s useless for you to go to the Holy Light Church now!

You believe me.

I have inside information, and I can tell you clearly that the mages of Dalaran, His Majesty Faao and the Paladins have all gone to the Kingdom of Stormwind, and they will not be able to come back in a short time!

It's useless even if they want to help you.

You'll need to seek out the powerful spellcasters of Narthalath.

They are the closest powerful force to Gilneas. "

"Where did you get this news?"

Queen Mia frowned when she heard the news, and she asked in return.

Caitlin gritted her teeth, turned her face away, and said guiltily:

"Don't worry, I have inside information anyway, and it's absolutely accurate."

"Are you a mage from Dalaran?"

The queen looked Catelyn up and down and said:

"No wonder you have a bookish air, but you definitely don't want to be a mage. You have energy. Like a bird that will never be restrained in a cage, every feather exudes the brilliance of freedom.

All right.

I trust you.

But now the question is, how do we get through border control?

Although the guards over there look like humans, I tell you, little girl, they are all werewolves in disguise."

Queen Mia said painfully;

"The dark forces that invaded Gilneas possess a mysterious spell, and that guy named Lyal Flamefang can hide the appearance of a werewolf.

In today's Gilneas, you don't even know whether the person sleeping with you is a human or a monster."

"It doesn't matter, I have this!"

Caitlin licked her lips, rummaged through her luggage, and finally took out a strange magic orb and stuffed it into Queen Mia's hand.

she says:

"This thing is called the 'Orb of Deception'. I spent a lot of money to buy it from other mages on the pirate black market. It allows you to disguise yourself as anyone.

But your injury is a problem and will be sensed by the werewolves.

Their sense of smell is too keen. "

"The enemy's keen sense of smell is actually not a bad thing, little girl."

Queen Mia looked at the Orb of Deception in her hand. This wise and brave Gilnean woman quickly thought of a way. She held herself up and said to Caitlin:

"Give me a crossbow. And, can you hunt? Little girl."

An hour later, a rickety caravan driven by a Gilnean businesswoman arrived at the border post. As expected, it was stopped by several gloomy soldiers on duty.

"Oh, hurry up and check! Don't delay me from making money!"

Caitlin, who was sitting on the top of the carriage, pretended to be a young lady and shouted impatiently:

"Asshole, do you know how much money you can make selling this meat to Tarren Mill now? There are so many greenskins in the shelter there, and there is never enough meat to eat."

"Shut up! Of course we know this is meat. It's very fresh meat."

One soldier grinned and licked his lips with a bright red tongue.

That gesture made Caitlin shudder, as if she was frightened. The other soldiers opened the caravan, only to see a petite old maid in the car cutting and packaging the fresh prey in the small space.

The old maid was very old, with gray hair, wearing an apron full of blood, and holding a kitchen knife in her hand. When she saw the soldiers, she immediately raised her hands to show that she meant no harm.

"How old are you to be hired to do such backbreaking work?"

A Gilnean soldier complained:

"Your boss is such a bad person."

"Hey, you have a special smell."

Another soldier twitched his nose, trying to distinguish the peculiar smell in the caravan filled with rabbits, deer, and wild boars before him, but unfortunately he failed.

The werewolf's keen sense of smell became a liability for a moment.

In the carriage with so much blood, excrement and animal smells mixed together, the werewolf took a deep breath and almost couldn't control the wildness in his heart. Stimulated by the rich smell of blood, he almost turned into a werewolf on the spot.

Seeing that their companion was about to transform, several soldiers hurriedly suppressed him and yelled at Caitlin to leave quickly.

There is a sentry post of the Kingdom of Stromgard not far from here. It would be troublesome if at this critical time, the border post changed on the spot.

In the leaving caravan, Caitlin and Queen Mia breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

They were also thankful that the Society of Benevolence had launched a "no hunting" campaign in Gilneas, which allowed the two of them to hunt so many prey in a forest full of wild beasts in a short period of time.

This wave is probably a victory for the Rendehui.

The rest of the journey was uneventful, and three hours later, the dirty caravan arrived in Nanhai Town.

The wealthy Caitlin directly sold her caravan and the prey in the car to the first "lucky spectator" she met in the town for a copper plate.

It was a dark-skinned weird elf lady.

Then, she took Mrs. Mia into the office of "Nat and Hal Fishery Company".

At this moment, Boss Hal had just returned from Tol Barad when he saw Caitlin taking out the admission invitation of Narthalas College from her arms.

The eyes of this energetic girl, whose body was full of the smell of blood, were shining with expectation, and she shouted:

"I'm going to Tol Barad! Let's go now! I can't wait!"

"No matter how anxious you are, you have to wait until evening, girl."

Hal carefully checked the admission certificate, smiled again, and said comfortingly:

"It's not a good choice to go to sea. Although the sun in early winter is not intense, it will still pose a threat to your beautiful skin. Listen to me and wait patiently here."

"Evening? That's okay too."

Caitlin tilted her head and thought for a while, feeling that she didn't need to rush.

But she was not in a hurry, but Queen Mia was.

She was still worried about her children, so she no longer bothered to hide her identity. After removing the disguise of the deceptive orb, she said to Hal in front of her:

"I am Queen Mia Greymane of Gilneas. I have a deep friendship with your captain Black Shaw. I must go to Tol Barad immediately!

I have something very important to tell him. "

"Ah! You are not a druid!"

Caitlin's eyes widened and she looked at her mature sister.

The latter smiled apologetically at Caitlin, while Hal froze in place. He was not shocked by Queen Mia's identity, but mainly because he had heard a rumor from the Uncrowned One before. .

It is said that when the Uncrowned first set up a branch in Gilneas, Mr. Black did have an encounter with Queen Mia in an accident.

It is said that Queen Mia, who was alone at the time, spent the night alone with Mr. Black. Could this be the captain's love debt?

A queen.

Tsk tsk.

Captain, when it comes to having high eyesight, it’s you.
