Azeroth Shadow Trail

   Chapter 1452 85. There must be a Windrunner to become the Banshee King, this is destiny - Happy Holidays [23]

   "I'm curious, Your Majesty, how have my brother Nathanos and his elf goddess lover been doing your 'persuasion' on the day I'm gone?"

   Riding behind the sky in the frost of the north, the stinky pirate galloping all the way on the frozen dragonbone wilderness for thousands of miles opened his mouth in the high altitude of the forest, but was grinned by the oncoming cold wind.

   The gloomy cold air passed through the lungs and almost froze the heart. It felt so sour.

   But he asked his own question before his tongue froze.

   "I guess they must have prepared a very beautiful and touching speech, maybe they will collect the calls and pleas from your old friends and your former subordinates to you.

   might even bring out your ancestor Thoradin the Great to convince you.

  To be honest, I am a little worried, what should I do if His Excellency the Lich King is moved by these words? "

  Black watched the wingless armored warhorse flying in the sky beside him, like Lothar the Lich King galloping forward on the ground.

The latter wears a crown made of ice on his forehead, and the cold air pours down from the crown, creating a face-covering ice grimace for Lothar, which also makes Lothar look more and more cold and dark. Cool temperament.

   Of course, this embellishment is also effective in drawing attention away from Lothar's bald Mediterranean hairstyle.

   After all, as the Lich King who rules all spirits, having such an embarrassing middle-aged hairstyle really makes the stylists of the undead natural disaster desperate.

   It seems that the search for the Helm of Domination must be put on the agenda quickly.

  Lothar seemed to sense the bad thoughts surging in Black's heart, but the ruthless Lich King didn't care. He didn't even take the time to look at Black's feigned respectful expression, but looked ahead and said calmly:

   "Their efforts are commendable, but unfortunately they failed.

They talked to me a lot, and I could tell that both Nathanos and Sylvanas, or those who sent them to find me, sincerely wanted me to be free from Frostmourne. control.

   They hope to save me and bring me back from a dark future into the light.

   But they obviously did not understand my desire and my pursuit.

   They also failed to understand the situation they were facing.

   Their call seems to me more like a kind of 'capitulation', they want me to lay down my arms and face future disasters with a weak posture.

   They want me to be a coward!

   It made me feel angry, cold anger. "

  The Lich King stopped, and in the chill of the ice crown above his head, he shook his head and said:

   "Since I held Frostmourne, this docile magic sword has been projecting that hopeless future upon me, and in every rest of my soul, I am in a burning dream.

   The enemies that howled from the stars, the corruption that hides in the darkness of the back of the world, the threats that I have never been aware of but have always been real.

   The world is clear before my eyes, Blake.

   I am fully aware of how fragile it is, it needs protection, and that may be my destiny.

   I swore to protect my people, to protect my kingdom and civilization.

   But my potential is much more than that.

   I can do more and I want to do more. This is my choice, and it has nothing to do with the prayers and calls of the living world.

   It has nothing to do with all laughter, sadness and tears.

   It is closely related to all wars, destruction and death. "

   "Well said, Your Majesty, it's almost the same as nothing."

  Blake clapped his hands in appreciation and said:

   "You are obviously more melancholy after being the Queen of the Dead, and you express the coldness of death and your dark determination in a more poetic and artistic way.

   This beautiful wording makes me forget that you were once a warrior, but fortunately, standing in front of you, I may be one of the few people on this earth who can understand your mood.

   So you'll keep going, right?

   No matter what Fao and Anastarian try to save you, you're going to teach them a lesson, right? Why don't we start with this tiresome war I'm facing now?

  Let's join hands and teach those arrogant people an unforgettable lesson, Your Majesty. "

The words of the pirates silenced Lothar for a moment. The Lich King pulled up the reins and made his death steed gallop faster in the air. In the fierce cold wind blowing, only one sentence was left so gloomy that it seemed to come from a tomb. The resounding response:

"certainly."

   "That's what I'm here for."

—

   As Black and Lothar got closer and closer to their destination, there was a simultaneous conversation under a strange hill in the southwest of the vast Dragonblight.

   But compared to the "sympathy" between the stinky pirate and Lothar, the scene of this dialogue is very bad. The atmosphere between the two sides of the conversation was antagonistic, and the words were sharp, as if they were arguing and complaining.

   "Alleria seems to have changed her personality. After she became a Ranger General, she seemed diligent, but in fact she has been neglecting her duties! She turned a blind eye to the various threats Quel'Thalas faced, and only knew to obey the orders of the Sun King.

   Although this made her a favorite of the court, it also made her no longer seem like an upright windrunner.

  I know what she's doing, and I know all this has changed because she met you before! You are asking Alleria to give up the principles you taught us.

   You are asking us to do treasonous deeds for you! "

In the gloomy cedar forest of the Dragonblight and the dead wood, Sylvanas Windrunner, who was a little disappointed that he could not complete the diplomatic mission entrusted by the Sun King, was excitedly facing a man about the same height as her, but with a The elf lady in the black mask roared:

   "And Vereesa!

   Alleria's indulgence to her made her a wild child! She no longer lives in Windrunner's Tower but runs to live with an unmarried human mage!

  I wrote her several letters to no avail. She rebutted me with conviction that her relationship with Ronin has been approved by you!

  Lyras at the end."

   Shiva gasped violently, and it could be seen that the second Windrunner sister, who was like an iceberg on weekdays, was really excited now. She couldn't help reaching out and grabbing the wrist of the indifferent elf in front of her and shouting:

   "You don't care about him? He did something nasty and shameful! Without the permission of the three eldest sisters in the family, he made a private life with a demon addicted elf from Suramar!

   That's not enough, he also hooked up with other people's sisters in a shameful way!

   What is this for?

   Such behavior has never happened in the Windrunner family's history for nearly 10,000 years. It is a shame for the family.

   After you left, everything went haywire.

   It was as if everything changed overnight.

   My sisters and brothers have become strangers to me, and all this has left me at a loss. "

   Facing Shiva's out of control emotions, the indifferent elf who was grabbed by her wrist kept looking at her with a calm look, until Shiva's voice was low, she said faintly:

   "It's nice to see you too, my daughter."

   Maybe because of too much contact with Black, General Windrunner also got the **** humor.

   Shiva's long list of questions contrasted sharply with her one-sentence response, which made Nathanos Maris, who was watching the mother-daughter quarrel by the way, almost laugh out loud.

   Mother's calm response also seemed to make Shiva feel his gaffe.

   She lowered her head and fell silent.

General    Lireza shook his head, reached out and took off the black mask on her face, revealing her face that was almost indistinguishable from when she was alive.

   Except for the weird "smoky makeup" on his face, General Liresa is really exactly the same as the mother in Shiva's memory.

   "Of all my children, you will always be the strongest, my Shiva."

General Lireza hung the black mask representing the identity of the undead and the hunter around her waist, and stretched out her hand to lean on the hunting master's halberd. She looked up at the cloudy and cold sky above her head, and could vaguely see a few in the falling snow. Snowy owl rises and falls.

   After a few seconds of silence, Mother Windrunner spoke in a hollow voice characteristic of undead:

   "Your strength makes you constantly challenge your own limits since you were a child, and makes you unwilling to lose to your sister and your sister in anything.

  You always demand yourself with the highest demands, and never give yourself excuses and reasons to back down.

  You are amazing without a doubt, you are my pride, I used to be proud of you, but it wasn't until after my death that I realized that you are stronger than you are, my daughter.

   Beneath your tough exterior, you are actually a very sensitive person.

  You need to be good to earn more praise, you care about how you appear in the eyes of others, and you are far less free than your sisters.

   Maybe there is something wrong with my way of education.

   I gave most of my energy to my eldest daughter Alleria, and most of my love to my youngest daughter Vereesa and youngest son Lilas.

   I don't care enough for you, but you never complained or asked for more.

  I'm sorry, my daughter. "

Mama    Windrunner looked back at Sylvanas and said softly:

   "I didn't have time to say goodbye to you when I left you, and I didn't have time to express my concern and feelings to you when I started this dark life again.

  I know that my departure caught you off guard.

  I also know that all the changes caused by me will make it difficult for you to adapt and make you exhausted.

  I can understand better that you chose to leave your hometown in self-imposed exile and came to Northrend not only to avoid the task I gave you, but also to seek inner peace amid the constant changes.”

   Having said this, Mother Windrunner turned her head and glanced at Nathanos Maris who was standing beside her. Before Maris noticed the look, General Lireza turned her gaze back to her daughter.

   she asked:

   "Have you found the peace you were looking for? Daughter."

"I"

   In the face of Windrunner's mother's "truth reveal" attack, Sylvanas, who was full of anger and grievance just now, was obviously a little caught off guard and responded in a hurry.

  Especially when faced with a meaningful question from her mother, Second Sister Windrunner moved her body uncomfortably. After a few seconds of silence, she nodded inaudibly.

   said in a whispered voice:

   "I realized that it was not a place, a tower or a place called 'home'. I realized that the peace I was looking for was not a stay in a certain place at a time.

   The point is with whom.

   During this period of time in Zudrak, according to the records of the ancestral handbook, I was completely immersed in the power of the wilderness, and I truly found my inner will and spiritual desire.

  I recognized myself, and by the way, I have a deeper understanding of the world. "

   Sylvanas looked up.

   She wiped her slightly red eyes, and said to General Lireza who was looking at her with satisfaction:

   "I will not run away from the responsibilities I have to shoulder, Mother, I will return to Quel'Thalas and I will continue to fight for my people and my country."

"Ugh"

  General Liresa raised her hand and helped her daughter wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes. She touched her cold forehead with Shiva's forehead, feeling her daughter's temperature. She said softly:

   "You are a formidable enemy that can be solved with tears and smiles, my Shiva.

  You have to keep walking your way until you are really strong. I am very happy to see that you finally stop walking alone, and that you finally have a life of your own apart from your sisters and brothers.

  I'm also glad that you two dared to challenge the Lich King head on, but you didn't get killed

  Seriously, when my disciples passed on your news to me, I was already ready to welcome you into the ranks of undead hunters. "

   Windrunner's mother made a not funny joke, she patted Shiva on the shoulder and said:

   "Listen to my mother's advice, go back to the Eastern Continent, and never come to Northrend. This icy continent will be ruled by Emperor Lothar, and it will be called the lost kingdom of the dead, and it will be a forbidden area for all life.

   Go back and tell those who sent you on this adventure

  Anduin Lothar doesn't need to go back to that bright home, he is already in his own home, let them stop trying, and stop adding casualties.

   Than call back Lothar.

   They obviously have more important things to do. "

   "Well said, as expected of my chief retainer, his understanding of the general trend of the world is really clear and admirable."

After Windrunner's mother finished her warning to her daughter, Black's **** annoying voice also sounded in this withered and cold woodland. He Shi Shiran stepped out of General Liresa's shadow and glanced at the cold-faced Xi. Selvanas, he said:

   "These truths that even the dead can see, but the living people who think they are smart but whose brains are not yet rotten can't understand them. It really makes people feel suspicious about what is in their minds."

Before Shiva could respond to the sarcasm, Blake took out a black ribbon and a large icy military emblem from his hand as if offering a treasure, and like an award, he personally wore these two ornaments for Windrunner's mother in battle. on the armor.

   He whistled, looked at the majestic General Liresa, and said:

   "Your workload recently is a little too small, which is not enough for you to reach your potential, so I found you a 'part-time job' with His Majesty Lothar.

   From now on, my chief retainer, you are the military intelligence commander and death hunting lord of the Undead Scourge.

  Let's pack up, lady lord.

   His Majesty the Lich King is coming soon. "

  Black winked at Windrunner's mother and whispered:

   "It is said that your generous majesty will give you new powers. The Windrunner family must produce a 'Queen of Banshees', my mentor, this is the fate of the Windrunners.

  If it wasn't you, it would only be the weak ranger in front of you who can be dismissed with smiles and tears. "
