Enter World of Warcraft with Dark Skills

Chapter 193 A warm little home

When Taelan Fordring returned to the Crossroads, he was warmly welcomed by the Alliance high-ranking officials and ordinary Alliance members led by King Calia Menethil.

He returned with honor. Before Sylvanas Windrunner could speak to him, a girl threw herself into his arms. After a month of separation, Jaina saw him again.

In the evening, he finally returned to his little home and his tense nerves relaxed.

He sat comfortably at the dining table and skillfully opened a bottle of Booty Bay Rum.

Then he took out three wine glasses from the closet. He didn't drink often. He would only have a drink with Janna on anniversaries or special days.

He stood up and picked up the golden Booty Bay rum, which had a mellow taste from its brief cellaring.

Booty Bay is a tropical region where the temperature is high all year round, so the rum produced there has a special fruity aroma and a spicy taste like the tropical sun.

Taelan Fording took out a large cup and poured water into it. Then he activated the Holy Freeze.

The water in the cup was immediately frozen into ice. He casually drew a line with his finger, and a ray of holy light was pulled into a blade. The ice cube was split into three. Then he said to Jaina, who was helping to serve the dishes:
"Honey, do you want ice?" After getting permission, he put an ice cube in each cup.

Tandre watched in amazement as he manipulated the holy light at will.

“How convenient!”

Strong rum is slowly poured into the iced glass along the wall. The golden liquor reflects attractive light under the magic crystal lamp. The liquor is in full contact with the ice cubes, which not only makes it cool, but also allows people to taste the different flavors of rum from pure liquor to "water-cut".

Taelan Fording raised his glass. He had already gotten over Carrie's sacrifice a little.

“Tandre, welcome back to the Barrens. Let’s have a drink!”

Jaina also raised her glass: "It's rare for people in our family to sit down and have a drink."

She looked at Taelan Fording and said, "Father has brought bad news again. We may not have a few days of vacation."

Taelan Fording turned to Tandre, who shrugged and said, "It will be difficult for my father's fleet to help the Alliance in the short term.

Kul Tiras is now in chaos, and the child labor problem in Ashvane's house is more serious than expected. Kul Tiras is no longer what it used to be, and everyone has a lot of savings. They are very disgusted with this behavior.

The protests are getting more intense now, and the military factory has stopped production. Fortunately, my father went back, otherwise I don’t know what would have happened.”

Tandre is a man who likes to make friends with people from all walks of life. He is also very considerate of the sailors under his command and sympathizes with the plight of ordinary people. He may not be a qualified commander, but he must be a good person.

After a pause, he continued, "It's not just Ashvane. More disturbingly, a naga force attacked Kul Tiran ships, but fortunately we didn't lose any lives. They blocked some routes. We can't get close to the Maelstrom.

It took me 10 days longer to get here than it would have otherwise.”

Jaina naturally sat next to Taelan Fording, poured him half a glass of wine, and then took the bottle of rum away.

Taelan Fording looked at her helplessly.

Jaina continued, "Uncle Brann has also sent news. Uldum has been blocked off, and all the people he left there are missing."

Maybe Jaina didn't know what was behind Uldum, but Taelan Fording knew. There was a node behind it that could open a portal to the awakened city of Ny'alotha.

It was incredible that when C'Thun was about to break free from his cage, N'Zoth closed all the passages leading to his lair. He looked back at the Blade of Xal'atath Light hanging on the wall. She had been a little abnormal recently, and she didn't even talk trash.

Jaina glanced at Taelan Fording in confusion: "Dear, why don't you speak?"

Tyran Fording said, "It's okay, I just feel very strange. It seems that the relationship between the Old Gods is very bad!"

Looking at their intimate and natural interaction, Tandre laughed and said, “Taelan, it seems that you have adapted to your new family life.

The women of the Proudmoore family have always been strong." Faced with the trivialities of life, his reaction was still a beat slow.

Jaina gave Tandre a stern look, stood up, took the bottle of rum and put it back in the closet.

Taelan Fording laughed at Tandre, who was holding an empty wine glass awkwardly. He should be worried about himself. Jaina had long been accustomed to the life of the Fording family. She was a woman with a strong opinion, but she especially yearned for a beautiful and harmonious family life.

Tandre stood up and tried to get closer to Jaina to get some wine, but Jaina immediately backed away in disgust.

This is not because the relationship between the siblings is cold. It is because Tandre met with many alliance leaders today. As a courtesy, he used a very expensive perfume.

Taelan Fording knew that Jaina was particularly sensitive to perfume, and she never used it. Sylvanas was just the opposite. Even if she was not on a mission, she would use a special perfume. That weird thing made her not emit any smell.

After dinner, they did not choose to go out for a walk. After a long journey and the struggle between life and death, they chose to sit down and chat.

Jaina suddenly said, "I have to go to the hospital tomorrow morning. Dad has recovered. He will be discharged soon." If there is no emergency, she will visit her parents-in-law every day.

Tandre was a fan of Tyran Fordring. He was very sorry that he could not participate in the Battle of Mount Hyjal. But he was relieved to see that his sister had a warm and happy family.

After all, no one wants their daughter to marry far away. Every woman who marries far away is gambled with her life.

Fortunately, she won the bet, and they have announced their marriage. All that’s missing is a grand wedding.

Maybe she lost the chance to be a big shot, but she lived well after all. She was able to marry and have children with the person she loved since childhood. This was a happiness that no princess dared to ask for.

Although Tandre had a low sense of humor and was always slow to react to trivial matters in life, it did not prevent him from caring about his family. He had heard his parents discuss Jaina's future a long time ago.

They talked about Jaina's marriage, and they analyzed those noble sons one by one. Even Daelin and his wife, who doted on their daughter very much, did not mention listening to their daughter's future opinions.

They mentioned Varian Wrynn and Arthas Menethil. The debate ended with the appearance of Taelan Fordring. His mother liked the Fordring boy very much, and his father shared the same political views.

If Jaina had chosen Arthas Menethil, she might now be sitting on the Frozen Throne in Northrend.

Then, someone started talking about the miserable child labor in Ashvane's house. Taelan suddenly said:
"It takes thousands of years for an animal to evolve into a human being, but it only takes a moment for a human to turn into an animal."

When it was night, Tandre put his tired body on the bed. He had worked with Taelan Fording many times and they got along very well. He knew that this powerful demigod brother-in-law had a strong sense of family and treated his relatives sincerely. So he was very casual here.

It was late at night, the night breeze in the Barrens brought coolness, and Jaina fell asleep peacefully.

Meanwhile, in an outpost, Sylvanas Windrunner had another nightmare.
