After all, they were in the infirmary. After some intimacy, the two made no further moves.
Li De buried his face in Shandis's graceful neck and sniffed her long hair, while letting his strong male aura wrap around her.
Shandis put her hands around Li De's waist, and she enjoyed the caress between each other. A strong life also needs an equally strong opposite sex to match it. The two of them are extremely attractive to each other, and
The union of the two souls also immersed them in ultimate joy.
After a long time, Shandis said softly.
"I need Min Duo's consent for this matter, and of course I think she will definitely agree."
Li De raised his head and smiled silently. It seemed that Shandris really admired Tyrande to the extreme, so much so that she was thinking about her Mindo at this moment.
"I am a foreigner. The high priest of Tyrande won't be prejudiced against me, right?"
Li De asked curiously. As a human being, he naturally had no inferiority complex when facing the Kaldorei, but this issue between different races still had to be considered.
Shandis tilted her head and thought for a while before speaking again.
"The Kaldorei do not shy away from cross-race unions. In our belief mythology, cross-race unions are actually noble. But there is only one exception, and that is that the Kaldorei reject all twisted lives."
In the ancient mythology of the night elves, mixed blood represents the supernatural. The wilderness demigods revered in the Druid sect, such as Cenarius, the king of the forest, are the product of cross-race and even cross-life forms.
"Reject the twisted life?"
Li De was a little curious about Shandis's statement. He happened to maintain the same posture for a long time, so he adjusted it slightly. Shandis followed the situation and lay in his arms, telling him a story that was spread in the world.
Stories among the night elves:
The time was shortly after the Great Schism. Due to the invasion of the Burning Legion, the world's environment had undergone tremendous changes. As the king of the forest, Cenarius had the responsibility to repair the damaged environment.
He led his descendants to repair the violent energy that spilled out from the regions due to the Great Schism. However, in today's Desolate Land, due to the great changes in the environment and the elemental shamanistic beliefs of the Tauren, the earth element lord
—Princess Theradras, the daughter of Stone Mother Therazane, was summoned to the physical world.
The elemental lords had done something to succumb to the ancient gods in ancient times, so in the eyes of the wilderness demigods, the elemental lords were twisted and impure.
So Cenarius sent his eldest son Zaltar to deal with the matter of the earth elemental princess. However, what Cenarius did not expect was that his most valued eldest son not only failed to banish Princess Theradras back to the elemental plane, but instead
And fell in love with each other!
Cenarius was completely opposed to the combination of Zalta and the earth elemental princess. He insisted that the twisted bloodline of the elemental lord would bring disaster to Zalta.
However, Zaltar did not listen to his father's words, and finally merged with Theradras, and gave birth to a twisted life with the blood of both a demigod and an elemental lord: a centaur.
It can be said that the prophecy came true. Those twisted heirs really brought disaster to Zaltar as Cenarius said. Not only did they completely disobey Zaltar's teachings, they even committed the disobedience of patricide.
Human evil deeds.
The death of her lover also completely angered Princess Theradras. She took back her husband's body and hid it in the temple of Marathon. She guarded Zalta's body day and night, and at the same time cursed her offspring, the centaurs, to be eternally unhappy.
When Cenarius learned of the death of his eldest son, although he was very sad, he still set this incident as an example to teach other children and the Kaldorei that they must never accept any love that distorts life.
Li De burst into laughter after hearing Shandris tell this story from the perspective of a night elf. Although he had heard about this story in the past, but now that he thought about it, the combination of Zaltar and Theradras was indeed very twisted.
One incident is enough to prove that Zalta is half-human and half-deer like his father, but after merging with the daughter of the elemental lord, he gave birth to a centaur. From a cloven-hoofed deer to a strange-hoofed horse, it is indeed
Twisted enough.
Thinking of this, Li De couldn't help but burst out laughing, which aroused Shandis' curiosity. When Li De told her the joke, she got a somewhat annoyed look from Shandis.
"Okay, okay, I won't make trouble anymore, so how should the high priest define me? Will I be considered twisted?"
Li De asked with a half-smile, and Shandis began to analyze it seriously.
"The human race is the descendant of the Vrykul, a Titan creation that belongs to order. Admiral by blood, you naturally do not belong to the distortion.
But innate bloodline is not the only criterion. If some bad behavior is considered as depravity, it will also be unacceptable to the Kaldorei."
When talking about this, Shandris couldn't help but think of a person. Ten thousand years ago, he was an elf mage who was a genius in the world. He also made great contributions in the ancient war, but he ended up being a prisoner.
"Our society doesn't understand you nor the Protector of the Hanhai Sea, because your behavior of provoking conflicts has caused Nordrassil to misunderstand you.
I need to return to Nordrassil next and report truthfully what happened here to Mindor and the Sisters of Elune.
Let them know that you are bringing freedom to the oppressed races and doing a just cause."
Hearing Shandis say that she was about to leave, Li De held her hand with some reluctance, and suddenly he said something original.
"How about I accompany you to Mount Hyjal? It just so happens that I also want to officially visit Kaldorei, hoping that Nordrassil will establish diplomatic relations with the Protectorate of the Vast Sea."
Regarding Li De's proposal, Shandis still did not agree after thinking about it.
"Now is not the right time. I should act as a bridge of communication first so that both parties can understand each other and establish a certain foundation before considering establishing diplomatic relations."
After establishing a partnership, Shandris became more cautious. She could not ignore the Kaldorei because of Li De, nor did she want to make things counterproductive due to improper operation and affect Li De's image among the Kaldorei.
Li De also reacted at this time. He was naturally very familiar with the night elves, but the night elves still looked at him with a blank look. Many things cannot be rushed, and they still need time.
In this process, Li De also realized more deeply that Shandis would never give up her career for love. She would definitely have to be stationed in Feralas for most of the future.
"Let's hurry up and find a way to get through the Thousand Needles Stone Forest. It will be much easier for the Hanhai Protector to communicate with Feras in the future."
Shandis could hear Li De's anxiety from his tone, but she could only give him a wry smile in return.
"When I left here last time, I left you a map. Actually, that's the most I can do.
If I want to travel through the Thousand Needles Stone Forest alone, I can only avoid all kinds of dangers by sneaking.
After listening to the story I just told, you should also understand that our faith and power are incompatible with elemental life.
The night elves do not have the ability to appease the elemental life forms. If we are allowed to get through the Thousand Needles Stone Forest, the final solution can only be to eliminate all the elemental life forms there."
Shandris Feather Moon told the truth, and Li De's originally good mood suddenly turned bad.
Opening up the Thousand Needles Stone Forest to facilitate communication with Feralas is the second most important thing. The most important thing is the giant Kodo beast that haunts Li De.
Lying in Li De's arms, Yu Yue's eyes glanced at the trouble on Li De's face, and she raised her bare hands to smooth Li De's frown.
"Things will always find a solution. From the Hanhai Protectorate to Feralas, I believe there won't be only one path on the ground of Thousand Needles Stone Forest."
With Shantis' comfort, Li De felt better.
Niebuhr did mention before that he could climb over the mountain behind Zul'Farrak and reach the cliff highland on the opposite side for exploration.
In more than two months, certain results have indeed been achieved, but the venomous snakes and giant scorpions scattered on the cliffs have seriously hindered the exploration.
In addition to the road behind Zul'Farrak, on the other side of the narrow Thousand Needles on the north side, Van Cleef also discovered a road to the west starting from Shining Highlands.
It's just that the situation is similar to the situation on the south side of Thousand Needles Stone Forest. The road heading west on the northern highland of Stone Forest crosses the Razor Plateau. The wild boar people haven't recovered it yet, so that road is temporarily impassable.
"Okay, don't think about that anymore. The war with the goblins has just begun. The most important thing is to prevent the goblins from coming back."
The beautiful General Sentinel deeply agreed with Li De's words, and now both of them agreed that it was time to return to work.
Both of them have strong self-healing abilities. Li De's injury was more serious, but the scabs had already formed. The two of them had been staying in the infirmary, just wanting to enjoy this beautiful scenery for a while longer.
After opening the door and walking out of the infirmary, Li De instantly felt several eyes focused on him.
"When Bishop Benedictus came out, he told you to rest for a certain amount of time, so we didn't bother you."
Haggard spoke with great sincerity, but Li De did not believe a single punctuation mark in his words.
"Ah! Miss Shantis is here too? Yes, I heard from the military doctor that you were also injured in the battle."
As if he just saw Shandis standing behind Li De, Haggard said in surprise.
Li De couldn't help but curl his lips.
"Minister Haggard, I discovered that you have a shortcoming. You will not pretend to be confused."
The expression on Haggard's face was very surprised.
"Exactly! Protector, before I was born, the fortune teller pointed at my mother's belly and said: The biggest shortcoming of this child is that he can't pretend to be confused.
Protector, do you think I can change it?"
Li De was too lazy to talk to him, but Shandis took Li De's arm gracefully.
This surprised everyone present. They all thought that the Kaldorei, a mysterious ancient race, must have more reserved traditions.
But I didn't expect that the two of them would establish a relationship so quickly and express their feelings so boldly and strongly.
"Okay, let's stop joking. How is the cleanup of the battlefield going?"
When Li De asked about this, Haggard's expression changed color.
Listening to Haggard's report on the statistical casualties, Li De's face looked particularly ugly.
Shandis also let go of her arm, but instead held Li De's hand.
"One last thing..."
At the end of Haggard's report, he hesitated and did not dare to say any more. Li De patted Shandis's hand and took a deep breath.
"Just tell me, I can hold on."
"Minister Nogfogg was captured by the Hotsand Group."
This news was a huge blow to Li De, as Nogfogg had always been his right-hand man.
"Calling all commanders and instructors together, we must hold a battle summary meeting regarding this battle.
To sum up all the mistakes we made in this battle. In the war with Kezan, we must win!"
…
During this battle summary meeting, Li De rarely lost his temper, but this time the target of his anger was himself.
Just after the meeting came to an end, the guards on duty outside came in and reported to Li De.
"Protector, two giant dragons are coming outside and want to see you."
Li De, who was staring at the sand table in a daze, was stunned when he heard the guard say this, and then asked,
"Which legion of dragons is it?"
"They didn't tell me. They just said that if you saw it, everything would be clear to you."
If he likes to trick people into showing off, I guess only a bronze dragon can do it.
And when the visitor followed the guard in, it confirmed Li De's suspicion.
Two bronze dragons using transformation magic walked in. The one in front was also Li De's "old acquaintance": "The Little Dwarf Girl" Chromie.
Li De, who was following Chromie, had never been seen before. He transformed into a human officer, wearing tight-fitting and neat armor, and with thick blond hair on his head.
"He is Anachronos, our guard captain."
As soon as they met Chromie, Li De was introduced to him. When Li De heard the name, he suddenly realized that although this was the first time he had seen the bronze guard captain's human form. But during the expedition to Gorongas, Li De remembered
When Nozdormu is gone, he will be responsible.
This shows that Anaclos's strength can gain the Dragon King's trust. However, Li De still doesn't know why the two of them visited the Hanhai Protector at this time.
"What's the matter with you two coming here today?"
The person who answered Li De's question was Chromie.
"We know that the Hanhai Protector has just experienced a battle and suffered heavy losses.
I'm sorry that the bronze dragon was absent during this process.
Goblins are accomplices who collude with the black dragon and endanger the security of the world.
From this aspect, the dragon should be the front-line combat force, but we were absent."
Only then did Li De suddenly realize.
It is indeed strange to say that after the previous institutional design of the stacked bed frame house, the connection between the dragon and the mortal world has been quite close.
But in the previous battle, even reinforcements from another continent arrived, and the bronze dragon was a neighbor in Tanaris, but he didn't even show his face.
However, Li De did not rush to express his position, but continued to listen and wait for Chromie's next words.
Sure enough, Chromie has something more to say.
“The reason we didn’t participate in this battle is because we really have reasons that we can’t get away from.
From the mouths of the captives brought back by the Black Dragon Legion, we found out a terrible thing! The Black Dragon Legion will once again bring disaster to Azeroth!
In order to deal with and solve this crisis, all bronze dragons are required to guard, experience and perceive the endless flow of time, and try to find a solution to the problem."
