Azeroth Shadow Trail

   Chapter 977 73. Your son is more promising than you, so don't be the king, give way to him

  While Muradin and Black were talking about the secret dwarves, the mead hall was buzzing with excitement.

The mortal warriors who entered hell, killed Hela and returned victorious were sought after by the heroic spirits. At the table full of food and wine, the heroic spirits shouted the name of warriors and fought with them. .

   No warrior would refuse such a feast, and even Grom the Destructionist enjoyed the din.

   That's how warriors should be.

  Drink the strongest wine and fight the craziest battle.

   But not everyone is here, Jean and Darius have already left first, and they jumped directly into the northern end of Kalimdor Continent using the rainbow bridge of the Sky Fortress.

   Then, under the leadership of Odin's raven, Munin, he headed towards Ashenvale to find the lunar sickle that had been lost for nine thousand years.

It is related to the safety of a country. As a king, Gene really has no time to waste on a celebration feast, but with the huge area and rugged terrain of the Ashenvale Forest, even with Mu Ning's leadership, Gene has to complete the search for the holy relic. Things have to take time.

   "Give me another glass of wine! I'll tell you what Blake and I fought with N'Zoth in Kul Tiras."

   At a table at the edge of the mead hall, a drunken Fenna sat with a golden sword, bragging to a group of Valkyries around her who were congratulating her.

   She was talking loudly about her adventures with Blake. The battle of Dalaran was also a hot topic in the Hall of Valor. After all, Emperor Thoradin also participated in that battle with the heroic warriors.

   Now listening to Fenna's first-person bragging, a group of Valkyries who came to relax are also very absorbed.

  The stories of mortals lack a sense of power.

   But the unyielding fighting spirit and the turning point of defeating the strong by the weak always make people want to stop.

  Fina is just a little regretful.

   Her eloquence is not very good. If Xiao Xingxing comes here, she will definitely be able to twist a story and attract everyone's attention.

   Alas, the talent of others cannot be envied after all.

   But the drunk and bragging Fenna looked around, but found that the smelly old man who was still here just now has disappeared, and he doesn't know where he went.

  , what a disgusting nerd.

   But Fenna is not pleasing to the eye, so the person is doing nothing right. She really blamed her father. It's not that Dai Lin didn't want to stay in the mead hall to enjoy the celebration banquet, but that he was summoned.

   was summoned by a "hidden boss" who existed in Valhalla.

   From the mead hall to a palace shining in an arc in the east, after crossing the unique portal of the Hall of Valor, Dai Lin entered the hunting grounds in the large area of ​​the Hall of Valor.

  Eternal hunting ground!

  This is the place where Odin built it to give heroic spirits time to fight and enjoy hunting. It covers a huge area and has a rolling mountain.

   There must be strange magic and demi-plane connections similar to the Land of Shadows.

   Maybe this hunting ground is actually located in a mysterious area of ​​the material world, otherwise it would be difficult for Dai Lin to imagine the feeling of such a mountain suspended in the sky.

   And the "leisure" of Heroic Spirits is still too exaggerated for mortals.

   The argali sheep and deer at the bottom of the food chain in this hunting ground are as big as the tallest warhorse in the human kingdom. The goat leisurely strolling in the grass gave Dai Lin a hard hit, and it is estimated that the admiral would also suffer for a while.

   As for those predators, even more so.

   From time to time, crimson storm drakes fly across the sky, they are the guards of the hunting grounds and a link in the ecological chain, and occasionally prey on goats and deer.

  The predators on the ground are mainly shadow cheetahs, iron maned bears and a group of giant wolves wandering in the mountains.

   The human heroic spirit who led Dai Lin into the hunting ground was still excited to introduce him here.

   "We all like Valhalla. We didn't get used to it when we first came, but after a big hunt, everyone quickly became acquainted. Emperor Thoradin really liked this hunting ground where power and danger coexisted.

  He spends his free time here when he's not fighting.

   Recently, the Great Emperor is trying to challenge the horror legend in this hunting ground.

   A giant wolf named Fenrel.

   That terrifying beast is the wolf king in this eternal hunting ground. Many heroic spirits have died in its hands, and no one has dared to challenge it for many years. But the emperor is expected to succeed.

   He likes wolf creatures very much, and has always wanted a war wolf as his pet. "

   "After all, Stromgarde was built under the guidance of the Black Wolf, so the emperor should like it."

   Dai Lin was walking on the trail of the hunting ground. He looked around and said:

   "If the emperor really wants a mad wolf, I can consider knocking Gene over.

  I think the Great Emperor will like him, after all, the people of Gilneas have been trying to compete with Stromgard for the orthodoxy of Stromgarde, giving Genn a chance to be loyal to the Great Emperor, and he will never refuse.

  The Great Emperor can put him on a leash and let him bite people, he will be a good dog, I can guarantee it. "

   "Hahaha, Admiral, you are really joking."

   The Human Heroic Spirit burst into laughter and said:

   "It's a pity I couldn't fight alongside you when I was alive."

   "No, soldier, of course I'm in the Burning Steppes. We've fought side by side, and it was your bravery that allowed us to overcome the greenskins."

   Dai Lin said seriously:

   "Also, I'm not kidding, I really planned it, Gene has been arrogant since he became a werewolf, I think he should be taught a lesson.

   But speaking of it, has the Great Emperor always been alone in Valhalla? "

   "Why do you ask that?"

   The human hero said in surprise:

   "Everything is good in this palace, except that there are no women. The Valkyries are all graceful and powerful at the same time. If they dare to provoke them, the end will be miserable, and they will be hanged and beaten.

   And the emperor has always kept himself clean.”

"you sure?"

  How does Dai Lin feel familiar with the surrounding environment.

   After all, when he was young, when he had a tryst with Mrs. Jinjian, he also liked to choose such a woodland. First, it was very safe for no one to approach, and secondly, coming here would make people very free and exciting.

  Delin, who has two wives, knows this very well. He feels that Thoradin the Great is alone in the eternal hunting grounds not just to kill time.

   Maybe the Emperor has conquered a Valkyrie, or more?

   But these are very personal guesses, there is no need to tell others.

   "Okay, it's here. In front of it is the hill where the emperor observed Fenrel's activities. Go over by yourself, don't run around."

   The human heroic spirit who led the way warned:

   "In addition to the wolf king Fenrel, there is also a bear king and a leopard king in this hunting ground. The bear king is very difficult to deal with, as for the leopard king.

   It is said that he escaped many years ago, and now he does not know where he went. "

   After finishing speaking, the human hero gave Dai Lin a standard military salute, then turned around and strode away.

   He is going back to the Mead Hall to enjoy today's feast.

   I heard that the Valkyries also came to participate, which is very rare. The Valkyries have their own banquet halls, and they rarely come to the mead hall to have fun.

   Maybe if you are lucky, you will meet a Valkyrie who is drunk and coughs.

Watching the Soldier Heroic Spirit leave, Dai Lin adjusted her clothes and strode towards the hill in front of her. After walking around for a while, she saw a tall male Heroic Spirit hiding in the high place. The cast iron war bow is looking down.

   "Come, come here, be quiet, don't disturb the beast."

   Emperor Thoradin sensed Dai Lin's approach, he beckoned, and said something in a low voice.

  Dai Lin also squatted down, hiding in the grass and approached, looking down from a height, in front of the cave under the cliff below, a golden giant wolf was resting in the sun.

   That guy is so big!

   One tauren is probably the same as chewing snacks. There are khaki mysterious natural magic patterns on the waist, abdomen and legs of the giant wolf, as well as many scars, and even broken arrows stuck on it.

   But the wolf king didn't notice it, and didn't care about such a small injury at all.

   "Fenrel is a famous legendary beast. It is growing to the level of a demigod of the wilderness, but it is not an easy task. After I came to Valhalla, I fell in love with it the first time I saw it."

   Emperor Thoradin, who had a very similar appearance to his life, stroked his beard and said to Dai Lin, who was watching him next to him:

   "I'm going to tame it as the first memorable victory of my Heroic Spirit career. I invite you to hunt with me, Dalene, and I'd like to have a chat with you before the official start.

   Don't be so nervous, relax.

I will not eat you. "

   "Your Majesty, what you said is such an understatement, but it can't hide the reality that you are the ancestor of mankind."

   Dai Lin said in a low voice helplessly:

   "Who can remain relaxed when facing you? All of us descendants have grown up listening to your legendary stories, and our respect for you has been engraved in our bones.

   No human being can calm down at this time. "

"who said it?"

   Thoradin the Great shrugged and said:

   "That little guy from your family just chatted and laughed with me, he wasn't nervous at all, he looked like someone who did big things."

   "Drake? He saw you?"

   Dai Lin blinked, the emperor laughed and said:

   "He didn't just see me, he rescued me from the long garrison, and he also sent me into the Hall of Valor. It seems that your boy didn't tell you a lot.

   Rumor has it that your father and son are at odds? "

"Uh"

Admiral    said awkwardly:

   "It is indeed a little 'small contradiction'."

   "That's not good. As a father, you have to set an example for your children, but I'm not qualified to say that you are."

  The Great Emperor sighed and said in a gloomy mood:

   "The empire I left behind soon fell apart, which shows that I was not a good father, and my children were not successful, but what makes me happy is that I still have children I don't know yet.

   This was a surprise. "

   "You mean, besides Marshal Lothar, do you have other lineages of your lineage?"

   Dai Lin's eyes widened immediately.

   This is a shocking secret for a king who rules a party like him. If what the emperor said is true, it means that the divided human kingdom still has a chance to reunite.

   "No, I know what you're thinking, but her existence has nothing to do with the human kingdom."

   Thoradin shook his head, looked down, and said:

   "Fenrel is about to wake up, let's get down to business.

  I came to you today, and I have three things to say. First, about the union of the human kingdoms, the demons are coming soon, and you have also been reminded by the king of war.

  After you go back, you need to promote the union of the kingdoms as soon as possible. The scale of this war is definitely far beyond your imagination. It is not enough for humans to participate in the war.

   Only by uniting all forces that can be united can our civilization and the world survive the crisis. "

   "Well, I'll do my best to do it."

   Dai Lin nodded and said:

   "I know the weight of this matter, and my fleet will be ready for everything, but I have to find my missing soldiers first."

   "Well, next is the second thing, a little personal."

   Thoradin the Great pursed his lips and said in a low voice:

   "I already know about Lothar. He, maybe the moment of Lothar's final destiny is coming, and it may be led by Blake.

  You cannot interfere in this matter, and try not to let others interfere. "

   "I try my best."

   Dai Lin said with some uncertainty:

   "The factors behind Marshal Lothar are intricate, not just the secular kingship, but also the power of faith, and I don't know what Black is going to do.

   But if he needs help, I will try to help. "

   "Very well, that's what I want! Just like Arom back then, he was brave and fearless, never bowing his head to any difficulty. That's where the Kul Tiran character comes from."

  The Great Emperor laughed and said:

"You may have inherited that kind of character. I like you a lot, Dai Lin. In my time, you were destined to make a career. But the next thing may make you a little angry. "

   Thoradin moved his fingers and said to Dai Lin:

   "I saw your performance in the final trial, and frankly speaking, I am a little dissatisfied, this kind of insufficient victory cannot be sought after by the heroic spirits.

   As the king, you always think too much, which seriously affects your combat effectiveness.

   Maybe it’s time for you to consider giving the throne away, get rid of the oppression of those mundane affairs, untie your shackles, and be more purely dedicated to finding the power of anger.

  I believe that you are far from the end.

  You can also become stronger, you can become a new star in the Hall of Valor, that is the destination of warriors.

  I think Blake is a good fit to be a king, he is getting close to the essence of darkness and needs a chain to keep him on the side of order.

   What do you say? "

   "I thought about it, not to perfunctory you, I really thought about it."

   Dai Lin laughed, not angry, but said seriously:

   "But not yet, there is the last tumor in my country that has not been removed, and that is my trouble, and I cannot leave it to my son.

   I should give him a pure country and let him show off.

and"

  Dailyn shrugged, breathed a sigh of relief, and said:

   "I also want to try my ideals before I get old and frail, as a last-ditch effort. After that, whether I win or lose, I will take off this burden.

   I have never liked this crown.

   It made me miss a lot. "

   "Shouldn't be."

   Thoradin the Great looked at Daelin in front of him, and after a few seconds, he said:

   "You are so open-minded, so wise, and full of courage, and your son is even more brilliant, but he should not have such big differences and contradictions with a father like you.

   And your daughter seems to be very unhappy with you too.

  So, Dai Lin, who is the real you? "

   "I don't know either, Your Majesty, I ask myself this question every day."

  Dailyn avoided the question. He glanced down and said:

   "And I know if you don't fire this arrow, Fenrel will run away."

   "It doesn't matter, the prey can be chased after it runs away."

   Thoradin the Great stood up suddenly, and while drawing his bow, he said:

   "You can always try this sort of thing, I just need to win once, but you don't have as many chances to try other things. I mean, you're a warrior, right?

   Then don't run away from the problem.

  Go on bravely, like a man from the Azora Empire, and take it down! "
