Azeroth Trail of Light

The first half of the Black Gate's 21st year slowly dissipated in the aftermath of the Battle of Mount Hyjal, seemingly calm, but in the second half of the year, the storm raged, bombarding Northrend from the Eye of Sargeras, causing the Titan Ruins to appear, and suddenly it happened. In the battle of the dragons, all the real bosses hiding under the peaceful curtain feel that the world has become a bit unreal in an instant.

In addition to the 20-year undead natural disasters of the Black Gate and the Battle of Mount Hyjal, the emergence of 4 major events in a row seems to indicate that the ten thousand years of calm has been broken, and the whole world seems to have entered a disaster. , The path of disorderly progress.

In the eyes of those who really know how to do it, all these changes are inseparable from one person.

The mysterious knight, rising from the northern border, shines in the undead and natural disasters, and then participated in the Battle of Hyjal, helping the demon hunter bombard Northrend, and finally was recognized by the dragon kings in the dragon battle.

It is often said that the way to measure a person's worth is to look at his friends and his opponents.

From this perspective, the mysterious fire of justice, Dick Tang, the knight of the dawn, is truly a legend, and the attention of the upper class will naturally attract the discussion from the lower class, especially in the 22nd year of the Black Gate. In January, when Theramore's envoy visited Stormwind City, the chants of the elven bards who came with the team gave the Dawn Knight a veil of mystery.

In the 21-year Dragon War of the Black Gate, the residents of Lakeside Town in the Kingdom of Stormwind saw the dragon that covered the sky and covered the sun. It was almost a deed that was preached as a myth and legend. Dick was a human warrior who participated in it. , Naturally, it is specially written by the official human book.

Especially after the archbishop of the Cathedral of Light, the saint Benedict personally awarded Dick the title of "Knight of Dawn", Dick of Theramore became the holy sage with Mograine, the Ashbringer who was active in northern Xinjiang. The two spokespersons of the Cavaliers.

There are rumors that after the Battle of the Dragon, the Dawn Knight took his noble wife to live in seclusion in the North County Monastery. When the world faces disaster again, he will still stand up.

There are also rumors that Dick was regarded as a guest of honor by the elves, and even the Moon High Priest committed himself to marry him.

The most exaggerated rumors are that the Dawn Knight is actually dead, died in the Knights Civil War in Northern Xinjiang. The reason is that everyone who has seen Dick knows that he wears the badge of the Silver Hand on his chest, and it is well known that at the end of the Black Gate's 22nd year, the Scarlet Crusade, who received military support from the Kingdom of Stormwind, officially left the Silver Hand. The two fought, but the Silver Hand defeated miserably and gave up most of the defense area of ​​East Dalungmir.

Finally, under the intervention of the Silver Dawn and the Elf Empire of Quel'Thalas, the Silver Hand, which was almost broken up, was able to preserve the Light's Hope Chapel.

That was also the last time Dick-related matters appeared in the eyes of the world, and since then, there has been no news from the Dawn Knight.

In the 23 years of Black Gate, almost two years have passed since the Battle of the Dragons. Two years are enough for many things to happen. For example, no one talks about Dick anymore. Now even Theramore hates visiting this country soon. The ruler of Kul Tiras, the hero of mankind, "Admiral" Dailin-Proudmoore.

Dick is like a shooting star, so brilliant when it crosses the sky, but the silence is also extremely fast, passing away in a flash!

"Clang, clang, clang!"

A very regular beating sounded in the guard camp of Theramore Palace. It was a hot stove, the most popular high-temperature stove for forging in Azeroth. Dick was naked, holding a black hand in his hand. His forging hammer, with a serious face, banged on a long sword that had been roughly formed.

This long sword is the template of the classic knight sword popular in Azeroth, but it is shorter than other knight swords. Its whole body is white and silver, and the handle placed aside is also very simple and atmospheric, without too much texture. Modification, and from the holy breath from its sword, it can also be seen that this is a real magic weapon.

This kind of weapon is a fine product in Azeroth, and generally has good special effects and is very robust.

This sword was carefully forged by Dick for a month, using the blueprints of the "True Silver Holy Sword" in his forging list. Although it took a lot of effort, it only took 2 years. Naturally, Dick's forging level could not be improved too fast, and considering the age of the user, he deliberately made a style between the short sword and the long sword, so the quality of this sword is actually only blue.

But for its upcoming owner, this level of weapon is actually enough.

"boom."

The door of the forging room was pushed open, and Anduin, wearing a white shirt and blue jacket, walked in, holding a letter in his hand, and playing with a small group of warm holy light in his other hand. The flexible little hands changed shapes, sometimes it was a rabbit, sometimes it was a steed, and finally it became a lion and a wild boar.

The little prince should have just eaten lunch. Princess Kalia has strict requirements on him. She personally serves as Anduin’s etiquette instructor. That kind of regular eating scene is not only for Anduin, but even for Die. It is a painful experience for K.K.

"Tutor, Median sent a letter, he invited us to Karazhan to attend his coming-of-age ceremony at the end of this month!"

Anduin dissipated the holy light, and then happily said that he has been in Theramore for 2 years. Compared with when he first came, he has lost a lot of delicacy, is a bit green, and his body is much stronger. Although it is only 8 years old now, it looks like a teenager.

Anduin will officially accept the initial training of the Paladin next year, but to be honest, the little prince’s light has been used quite well during the two years with Dick, even though as a child, from the boring royal family After he got out of education, he was somewhat playful and lax. He even ran into the swamp outside Theramore City secretly, trying to see the dragon's nest that imprisoned his father at the time, but when he wandered through the swamp, Fell into the hands of the ogre.

If Rexxar hadn't happened to stay in the Jueqiang Ogre Clan at that time, I'm afraid the little prince would suffer. But even so, when Rexxar sent back the yelling Anduin with the warhawk Spierre, the blood on that body made Princess Kalia almost fainted.

Since then, the scope of this kid's activities has been strictly controlled in the city of Theramore.

Since Varian’s situation has not been very good, Anduin only has three months to return to Stormwind every year. Among them, at least one month is spent in Karazhan, and there is his " "Good brother" Mediian accompanied him. For a child of this age, the whole world is very mysterious. Karazhan is simply a playground that will never get bored.

Of course, this does not mean that the little prince had an unpleasant life in Theramore. After all, there are things that are not available in other places here, such as friendly and mysterious, tall and mountain-like tauren, treacherous people always want to deceive him into his pockets. The goblin merchants of royal gold coins, the mysterious and beautiful elves and druids, the dumb and ugly boars, and the big boars that often appear near Theramore.

Agamagan, the power of a demigod allows this kind and cheerful giant wild boar to appear wherever it wants to appear. Of course, the injuries caused by the Battle of Mount Hyjal have not healed yet, so it spends most of the time. Wandering in the emerald dream, but occasionally when he gets interested, he will go back to the razor heights covered with thorns for a while, or come to Theramore for lunch.

The little prince likes this super-giant handsome wild boar with clean body and armor of thorns. Although at his age, he may not be able to tell what kind of terrible power this wild boar contains, but it doesn’t. It does not prevent him from becoming friends with the friendly demigod, especially after sharing the secret cream cake made in Stormwind, Agamagan also fell in love with this little man.

Dick knew from Jaina that every time Agamagan appeared, he would quietly take the little prince to the Emerald Dream or other places to play. Of course, this is a child’s secret and is protected by Agamagan. Anduin is even safer than staying in Theramore, so Dick didn't break it down. Who doesn't have a childhood yet?

Dick put down the hammer and sword in his hand, took a handkerchief and wiped his face and hands, reached out and accepted the letter in Anduin's hand. On the envelope made of the best paper, there was a delicate The wax seal of the crow's head, in this view, was made by Moros.

After the old mage Meri Dongfeng closed Karazhan for more than half a year, he finally succeeded in sealing the inverse tower below Karazhan. At that time, Median went back to Karazhan, and Ms. Aegwynn was unwilling to face that full of sorrow. The place of memory, so I stayed in the court of Theramore.

Dick knew that this lady who had become an ordinary person did not want to see the man who had been deeply hurt by her, Medivh’s father, and Madion’s grandfather, the only person who had had skin close to her. , Now in the form of a ghost living in Karazhan, the Royal Archmage of Stormwind-Nilas-Ellan.

The tragic man who had exhausted his efforts to save his son, and even after he died, his obsessive soul had to protect his son.

"Well, he also invited Ms. Aegwynn, which is good."

Dick returned the envelope with satisfaction to Anduin, who was obsessedly touching the unfinished sword on the table with his hand, and patted him on the head.

"Go and hand the letter to Ms. Aegwynn, and then find a way to persuade her to agree to go with you. If you succeed, I will teach you how to use the holy light to get out of the scabbard."

"Really?"

Anduin’s eyes lit up, and he had long been greedy for this skill that could throw the brilliant light sword with his bare hands. This was something that no other paladin could do. After getting Dick’s affirmation, He excitedly helped the ceremonial saber hung on his waist and ran out quickly.

Dick picked up the forging hammer. He actually doubted that if he really had the attribute talent, the little prince’s light affinity might be the terrible MAX, otherwise it would not explain that the light would take the initiative when he was sleeping. Protect his wonders.

That was a scene that Jaina occasionally discovered, which shocked Dick and Liadrin who had come after hearing the news. Even Anwina clamored to leave Dick and become the hero of this cute little guy.

But today was destined to be troublesome. Before Dick could fix the blade of the long sword, the sound transmission stone on the table jumped, and Jaina's anxious voice sounded in the forging room.

"Dick, come back soon, Thrall that idiot accepted the Blackrock orcs! Now they are picking up the orcs and disembarking in the port of Durotar!"

"boom!"

The Paladin closed the sound transmission stone with a gloomy expression, picked up the gray cloak next to him, and strode out of the forging room.

"Thar, Blackrock Orc... is this crazy?"

On the other side, the barren port of Durotar, here is a docking point built by the orcs. Generally, only goblin merchant ships pass by. The orcs use fur and wood, as well as the rare herbs they grow, in exchange for those profiteers. Food and weapons.

In general, the goblin's Bilgewater Cartel has found a good buyer in Kalimdor, and even the goblin towns in the Barrens have become a lot more prosperous because of this new route.

But this time, the goblins' movements were a bit bigger. At the same time, a fleet of more than 30 large merchant ships were floating on the shoreline of the Barrens. This immediately attracted the attention of the scouts in the northern fortress. When the elite scouts trained by the watchmen sneaked into the astonishing number of merchant ships, they discovered the "cargo" transported by the goblins this time.

It's not some moldy food, or rusty weapons, but people!

Black-skinned orcs!

More than 30 merchant ships were loaded with these Blackrock Orcs and crossed the ocean from the Eastern Continent to Kalimdor. The end of their voyage was at the Knives Bay in Durotar.

The commander of the Northern Fortress, Baron Erigol of Theramore immediately notified the Theramore official. After an hour, all the senior officials of Theramore were concentrated in the conference room of the palace, with every face The facial expressions are not pretty.

Most of the people here have experienced the orc wars, and some old ministers even went to battle to kill the orcs themselves. Therefore, for Orgrimmar, who lives almost next to Theramore, the entire Theramore is neutral. It responded with a hostile attitude.

The same goes for the orcs. There was too much blood shed on both sides, to the point that unless this generation died, it would be impossible to wash it away.
