Tales of the Highborne
Chapter 9 Out of the Valley of Ashes
"It seems that you and your brother have a good relationship," Yueying sighed. This reminded him of another pair of brothers he knew, and they had a good relationship. It wasn't until later that he learned that Illidan and Malfurion were twins. He had never thought that the two brothers were twins before. After all, there was a big difference between them in appearance and personality.
"No way. He is always disobedient and running around alone is worrying. I must teach him a lesson the next time I see him." As she spoke, Maiev snorted fiercely. It seemed that for all her brothers or sisters, Brother Yan is always disobedient. Moonshadow remembered that Malfurion always complained about Illidan's disobedience.
The two were chatting casually when Maiev suddenly frowned and looked at the big tree next to her. Seeing Maiev's expression, Yueying quickly opened the "Arcane Barrier" for herself and looked at Maiev warily. The direction of Wei's gaze. "Don't be nervous, there should be no danger. I don't feel any murderous intent." Maiev shook her head.
A figure like the wind slowly emerged from the shadow of the forest, and then stopped in front of them. It was a tree demon, with the upper body of a female night elf, but the body of an antelope below the waist. Yueying's pupils shrank. At the first moment he saw her, he thought it was Lilith, but after taking a closer look, he immediately realized that he was wrong. Lilith had long grass-green hair. The other person had short moon-colored hair and two silver eyes staring at Yueying and Maiev.
"Hello, we are travelers passing by. I hope I didn't disturb you. We will leave here soon." Maiev said politely. Because travelers through Ashenvale know that if they hope to reach their destination, they need to respect the guardians of these forests.
"~It's great outside. It's nice to go out for a walk. My name is Alice. Can I help you?" Alice kicked her legs and said with a smile. The body shape of the dryads is very suitable for living in the forest. They have quick reflexes and get along well with other creatures in the forest. Although dryads abhor unnecessary violence, if forced to do so, they will risk their lives to defend the forests they love.
"Well, tell me your name quickly, otherwise you will definitely be afraid of the terrible anger of the forest deer, hum." Suddenly Alice's silver eyes turned to Yueying, grabbed Yueying's shoulder and sniffed it several times. Next, he wrinkled his nose and said mischievously. These creatures are very naughty and active. Maiev knew that Yueying would not be in danger and couldn't help but smile softly when she saw the awkwardness of Yueying being sniffed. Yueying turned to look at Maiev, but Maiev immediately turned her head and looked away, as if pretending not to recognize him. Yueying was speechless.
"My name is Yueying. I'm Lilith's friend. Nice to meet you." Yueying felt a little frightened when she was looked at by Alice's silver eyes and turned her head slightly. "Oh, that's it. Why do you have a familiar smell on your body?" Alice let go of her hand holding Yueying's shoulder, but when she turned her head, she seemed to feel something was wrong, and grabbed Yueying's shoulder again. She clearly felt that Yueying's body was There was also a familiar scent, that was their father's scent.
"No, you're lying to me. I clearly smell another person's breath on you. That's my father's breath. If Xiaolu gets angry, I'm going to beat you up." Alice shook Yueying's shoulders and gritted her teeth. .
"Actually, my mentor and I have been studying the Druid way for a while." Yueying said hurriedly. "So that's all. Did you tell me earlier?" Alice let go of Yueying and said with a smile, as if what just happened never happened. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Yueying secretly thought that you didn't even ask me. This little deer is really difficult to get along with, so Lilith is better. Thinking of Lilith, Yueying felt a warmth flow through her heart.
"Where are father and the others now?" Alice asked in surprise. "We separated in Felwood half a year ago. I don't know where he is now. My mentor just said that he would meet us again in Moonlight Grove in 30 years." Yueying frowned and replied slowly.
"Are you going to the Black Coast now?" Alice asked curiously.
"No, I'm going to Jin-Assaline." Yueying shook her head and said.
"Then why are you running here? After coming out of Felwood, just walk straight ahead until you reach the three-way intersection and then go east." Alice said feeling a little strange.
"Really?" Yueying looked confused. He didn't know much about the geography of Ashen Valley.
"Of course it's true. There is a tree dwelling on that road, and many sisters live there. Even the eldest sister Halania is there." Alice said in disbelief when she saw Yueying. Yueying suddenly remembered that he ran into him not long after leaving Felwood.
There was a valley with many wild wolves. In order to avoid those wild wolves, he veered a little westward, and then was chased by a bear and deviated a little further westward. Yueying always thought that he was not far off, and besides, he didn't know what the Valley of Ashes looked like. He always walked in the direction of the Well of Eternity that he remembered during meditation. Unexpectedly, he deviated so far, and Yueying couldn't help but blush.
"Okay, I'm here to see my mother. Anyway, I've almost finished reading it. Now I'm going to go back to my eldest sister's place, so I'll take you a little further." Alice said with a smile, and by the way, Yueying winked, and a picture The expression that you made a lot of money. Yueying looked at Maiev and saw that Maiev had no objection and nodded.
Alice is worthy of being the forest protector who lives in Ashvale all year round. During the next three days, there was no danger at all on the road. Alice also told them some about the customs and customs of Ashvale. I also met some very friendly tree people. If Alice hadn't always played some tongue twisters along the way, it would have been a lot of fun, and we soon arrived at Astrana.
Astrana is considered the capital of Ashenvale. There are no upper-level elves in this forest, so the entire town is populated by civilians from the night elves. This is a city built on an island in the middle of the lake, beautiful under the shade of the forest. The houses are wooden houses with dark night elegance, and some tree houses that look like woodpecker nests. The city is managed by sentries stationed in Ashen Valley and a priest of the Moon God. In addition to the night elves, there are some other residents in the small town. There are about 4000 night elves living there. Seeing so many elves for the first time made Yueying very excited. He also saw a strange creature with green skin and less than five meters tall. Maiev explained This kind of creature is called a goblin. This kind of creature is very good at doing business. Be careful of being deceived when dealing with them. Their footsteps are all over the world, and there is an exaggerated rumor that you can meet a goblin merchant at every three-way intersection in Azeroth.
Yueying couldn't help but remember that Illidan once said that a hateful goblin defrauded him of the money he planned to buy weapons and let him buy an orb made of moonstone. This made Illidan unhappy for several years. Later, Illidan gave that orb to Yueying when they parted ways. It was very practical to increase some magic strength.
The small lake northeast of Astrana is famous for the Tears of Elune, a stone with healing properties. Unfortunately, this place is overrun with swamp beasts and other foul creatures, so be sure to hold on to your weapons if you come to collect Tears of Elune. Another similar stone, the "Moon Stone", is found in Lake Fallen Star in the southeast, and they can be used to treat several other illnesses. In addition to these two lakes, Ashenvale has several other water bodies, including the lake surrounding Astrana, and two rivers.
Moon Shadow's arrival caused some turmoil among the night elves. His appearance was different from other night elves and the magic robe that represented the upper class elves made many people look at him with curiosity and disgust in their eyes. This greatly reduced Yueying's enthusiasm for seeing the first city. After Maiev bought what she wanted, she hurriedly set out on the road again. She felt that this was not a place that belonged to her.
After leaving Astrana, they walked for a whole month under the leadership of Alice. They arrived at a fork in the road. During this period, Yueying saw the moon well for the first time. This is a place used to worship the moon god, and it is also a dark night. Although the theme necessary for elf life is very light, Yueying feels the aura of the Well of Eternity in it. It is said that the ancient night elves believed that the Well of Eternity was the place where the moon god Elune slept during the day, so they worshiped it. Later, after the expansion of the group, the elves who no longer lived near the Well of Eternity used this kind of elf containing a drop of eternity. Instead of the Well of Eternity, prayers to the Moon God were performed through the Well of the Moon. Alice said that it actually took more than half a month to get here by walking straight down the road from Felwood. He wasted a whole five months by wandering around. Afterwards, Alice invited them to visit the tree dwelling of the dryads, but Yueying declined because she had to go on a journey, promising to go back to her when she came back in 30 years.
For Yueying, reaching the Well of Eternity is the first priority. After arriving here, he felt the call of the Well of Eternity more clearly, which made him unable to stop at all.
After parting ways with Alice, he and Maiev were the only ones left on the road. Without the dryad whispering in his ears, his ears were much cleaner. This area was relatively safe. They traveled during the day and rested at night as usual. Two months later, they arrived at the border of Ashen Valley. As long as you cross the river in front of you, you will arrive at Jin-Assaline, the capital of the elves, which is one month ahead of schedule.
Feeling the strong call of the Well of Eternity, he looked at the moon shadow on the other side, already close in front of him, with a strange light shining in his green eyes. It finally arrived, and he didn't know what would happen to him when he arrived, but he had no choice. There seemed to be a force pushing him forward.
