Azeroth Monster Manual

“Ah!”

Lianda awoke from a nightmare,慌乱掀开被子, looking down at her lower body.

Her two fair legs were suddenly exposed to the cold air.

She shivered involuntarily and hurriedly pulled her legs back.

“So… so cold…”

Her teeth chattered incessantly, but the fear in her heart suddenly subsided.

She had just had a nightmare in which that wrinkled-skinned, yellow-toothed, and even abnormally turbid-eyed, Earl Salona pounced on her, tearing at her clothes…

Remembering Earl's repulsive, aged face in the dream, Lianda couldn't help but gag.

“Ugh!”

“Young Miss, you're awake?”

Lola's surprised voice came from beside her, and Lianda suddenly snapped out of it.

“Lola! You're okay? That's great!”

The two elven girls, as close as sisters, hugged each other, crying and laughing.

“Cough cough…”

A soft cough sounded from outside the door, startling the two survivors.

Lianda suppressed the doubts in her heart and quickly put on the cotton coat by the bed.

After a long while.

“May I come in?”

A magnetic voice sounded from outside the door.

“Please… please come in.”

Although wearing a bulky cotton coat and unsure of where she was, Lianda instinctively modulated her tone, straightened her posture, and put on a ladylike demeanor.

The simple wooden door opened, and a tall figure walked in.

The young miss subconsciously raised her head, her delicate face slightly tilted, and her two beautiful eyes were unconsciously drawn to the figure before her.

That slender figure petrified her completely, like Medusa's snake eyes.

Lianda stood there dumbfounded.

What a beautiful young man he was, with a rare head of silver hair (as mentioned in the text, he lost a lot of lifespan due to using Titan magic in the battle with Heschis).

A delicate and soft face, skin even whiter and more tender than her own, a straight and well-defined nose, pink thin lips, and a pair of dreamy, azure blue eyes.

He wore a fiery red robe, and Lianda clearly knew that this robe was not some common item, but the Sunfire Robe, which only Archmages were qualified to wear.

The young man's slightly furrowed brows and icy face still couldn't hide his intoxicating aura.

His ice-blue eyes seemed to be surrounded by mist, and there seemed to be a strong sense of sorrow within them.

His brow exuded maturity, but did not appear old.

“Young Miss, Young Miss?”

Although Lola had seen the young man's true appearance beforehand, her body still couldn't help but stiffen when she saw him again.

“Young Miss!”

“Ah?”

Covering her throbbing ears, Lianda finally came back to her senses amidst Lola's exasperated shouts.

Earl looked at the two compatriots in front of him, who seemed to be subtly leaning towards Holley (Angor Crater arc, the nymphomaniac younger sister of Willid Marshall), and couldn't help but have a headache.

‘Did I pick up two burdens?’

The young man sighed helplessly.

Lola: I'm wronged, it's all the Young Miss's fault.

… …

Time rewinds to seven days ago.

Earl finally returned to the Hinterlands, and the first thing he did upon his return was to come to Aerie Peak.

The Grim Batol fortress, originally like an ice and snow castle, had long been unsealed, but Heschis's corpse on the training ground had not gradually decayed due to Earl's departure.

This was all thanks to the Eclipse Legion, which had arrived in advance.

Although the Hinterlands in December were cold, in order to ensure the freshness of the corpse, Salorean ordered more than a dozen high-ranking mages from the Eclipse Legion to constantly cast ice spells to preserve the freshness of this behemoth's corpse.

“Lusk, commander of the Eclipse Second Legion, greets you!”

The sudden, deep male voice startled Earl, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look in the direction of the voice.

“Hello, I am Earl Salona.”

After Earl saw who it was, he couldn't help but feel surprised in his heart.

‘They even sent this man here? It seems His Majesty is even more concerned about the situation in the Hinterlands than I am.’

The man in front of him had a fierce aura, which was rare among the Quel'dorei, who valued gentleness.

Lusk had a hideous scar on his left eye, which he had received when he killed a high priest possessed by a Loa.

Not only was the young man sizing up Lusk, but the Eclipse Legion commander was also sizing up Earl.

Looking at the young man in front of him, who seemed as delicate as a willow in the wind, Lusk couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart.

‘This sissy is actually the commander-in-chief appointed by His Majesty? Isn't this taking the lives of the soldiers as a joke? Sandra's vision is really terrible!’

Lusk was angry in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

Seeing the unusually calm Eclipse Legion commander, Earl only thought that this man was a taciturn elf.

“Well, Commander, could you have your men leave here? I may need to move around a bit next.”

Earl felt a little embarrassed looking at the busy mages.

He had wasted so much time in Quel'Thalas, and now he still needed the mages of these legions to help him clean up the mess.

Lusk didn't react much, he just waved his hand to his subordinates.

After seeing the commander's instructions, several high-ranking mages gathered together in an orderly manner and came to Lusk's side in neat steps, standing quietly.

‘What crushing Antonidas and killing Belovair in seconds, those newspaper editors are all scoundrels without professional ethics! They should all be arrested and thrown into that… what was it… A Yew breeding farm to feed the pigs!’

Kenar Sunstrider: He's slandering me, he's slandering me!

‘This Earl Salona is not as fierce and good at fighting as the rumors say.

He was in a hurry to study the corpse of this beast as soon as he came back.

It seems that he is a research-type Archmage without a doubt.

I can beat ten of this kind of Archmage, and when I go back, I will expose the true face of this sissy in front of that idiot Sandra!’

Lusk spat on the ground, looking at the young man's back with disdain.

Although not in Quel'Thalas, the name of Aier Salona had spread throughout the kingdom, and even Lusk, stationed on Quel'Danil Island, had heard of him.

It's funny to say, the Eclipse Legion is a staunchly pro-royal faction, similar to the Sunfury, Firewing, and Flameblade... these pro-royal families, the entire legion's structure is basically based on the family core.

Lusk, Sandra, and even Serena are all formal members of the Eclipse family. Except for Serena, who has severe social anxiety, Lusk and Sandra each serve as the legion commanders of the Second and Fourth Legions within the Eclipse Legion.

This time, only Lusk, the commander of the mage legion, came. He was appointed by Anasterian to temporarily take over the duties of the Fourth Legion commander. (One person leads two legions)

Lusk and Sandra are cousins, and Serena is Lusk and Sandra's niece. ('Cousin' is used by the author in the Chinese way of addressing relatives. The author wants the readers to understand it better, because Western ways of addressing relatives are basically either calling them by their first names, or just saying sister, brother, uncle... without distinction, which is quite confusing.)

Lusk is known for his iron-blooded strictness. This legion commander, who is over 2000 years old, is called 'Cold-Blooded' Lusk by his soldiers and adjutants.

This is because, as a legion commander, he doesn't like to sit in the rear, but fights on the front lines. His subordinates never leave anyone alive, completely disregarding those Amani trolls who kneel and beg for mercy. Even prisoners are cruelly killed by him.

Relying on his physical fitness far exceeding ordinary people, Lusk has become the only 'Spellblade' not on the roster (a nickname, Quel'Thalas at this time does not have Spellblades, here the Spellblade refers to mages with strong physical fitness who like close combat).

The reason he heard the rumors about Aier was not because he heard the discussions of his soldiers, nor was it because Salorean and Anasterian, who came to inspect from time to time, told him.

But it was his uncle's daughter, his cousin, that old maid Sandra Eclipse who had failed in 864 matchmaking attempts.

At a family gathering, in order to escape those disgusting compliments and flattery, Lusk quietly came to the window sill on the second floor alone, preparing to relax.

But when he walked to the window sill, he found Sandra, the 'shame of the family,' drunk as a skunk in the corridor.

Sighing helplessly, Lusk decided to send Sandra back to her room.

But when he arrived at Sandra's room, he became interested again.

It wasn't that Lusk had any forbidden desires, but that he saw a huge banner hanging on his sister's wall with 'I Love Aier' written in Thalassian.

"Alas, it seems that those people have wronged you. My sister is actually such an infatuated elf..."

"In Quel'Thalas's decadent, **ed up marriage market, my sister can actually remain chaste, only loving one elf. I am proud of you."

Wiping away the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes, this iron-blooded tough guy gently placed Sandra on the bed, even thoughtfully covering his sister with a light blanket.

That's right, Lusk is such an upright 'old-fashioned' soldier to the point of being appalling.

In his army, improper X behavior between men and women is never allowed, not even falling in love.

In his opinion, the army is a sacred place, and those disgusting love affairs will only tarnish this purity, which is also a black mark that the entire Eclipse Legion slanders him for.

Lusk turned to leave, but saw something incredible.

There was a thick stack of newspapers on his sister's bedside table, which had obviously been cut.

These newspapers were of different sizes, but they all had one thing in common: the content on them was all related to Aier Salona.

"Ar'yew Pig Farm? Not bad, this young man is a man of action. The atmosphere in the kingdom is so impetuous, there are not many young people who can take root in the masses and do things with humility."

Lusk said admiringly as he put the neatly cut Magic Silvermoon newspaper back on his sister's bedside table.

"Arcane Annihilator and Arcane Guardian? Even the Flameblade Guardians of Sunwell Plateau are the work of this Aier Salona? He is truly surpassing his predecessors, not only willing to do practical things, but also able to do research and produce results. Not bad, really good."

Lusk praised endlessly, continuing to browse until he flipped to a brand new Truth Daily.

'Master Aier is deeply involved in emotional entanglements, countless young maidens shed tears in the streets, a fierce collision between the princess and the mage girl! What!? The Eclipse Legion commander is eyeing them covetously, who will be the final winner in this love triangle? New artist Mr. Barton's masterpiece [Funeral of Roses] will be featured in the Truth Daily tomorrow, let's meet there! — Editor-in-chief: Kenael Flameheart'

"San—dra!"

The roar full of anger resounded in the small room, and the crumpled newspaper was burned to ashes by the flames erupting from his hand at some point.

"Crackle pop..."

Several slaps without a trace of moisture woke up the drunk Sandra. Looking blankly at her cousin who appeared in front of her at some point, Sandra had not yet woken up from the paralysis of alcohol.

"Crackling popping..."

Another series of crisp slaps sounded, and Sandra finally let out a scream and jumped off the bed.

"Lusk! What exactly are you trying to do!?"

Sandra roared indistinctly, covering her swollen cheeks.

"Sandra, you fickle matchmaking failure! I don't agree to your marriage with that pretty boy!"

Sandra Eclipse:? ? ?

"Do you know how much psychological damage a big slap causes to a 1500-year-old child! Wuwuwu..."
