A few days later, the pandaren Lao Chen, who followed the wolf cavalry to Azshara, returned to the Rolling Rock Valley with great joy, followed by two pandaren, one large and one small.
"This is my lovely niece, Lili!" Old Chen proudly introduced to Prell and others. Lili Stormstout looks young. She is taller than Prell and has black hair.
Simply tied on the back of the head, wearing a pink Pandaren martial arts uniform, a pair of big eyes flickered and looked at Prell and others curiously.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Prell!" Lili bowed politely and said in Panda language. Prell also replied in Panda language: "Welcome to you and your companions, this is your home."
Got it!"
"This is Lili's first teacher, the geographer Zhuang Bo!" Lao Chen continued to introduce. Zhuang Bo looked stronger than Lao Chen, and his figure was also a bit bigger. It was like the first time he met Prell.
Like Lao Chen, Zhuang Bo was also wearing a bamboo hat, but he had taken it off and hung it on his back.
He picked up two bamboo boxes and placed them at his feet. He held the bamboo cane used as a burden in both hands, clasped his fists and saluted the group, and then stood quietly aside.
Prell had already arranged a lunch to welcome them. He noticed that Lao Chen was particularly excited about the arrival of Lili and Zhuangbo. Even if he returned to the Stonetalon Mountains all the way from Azshara, he was so excited.
None have disappeared.
After lunch, Lili and Zhuangbo went to rest, and Lao Chen told Prell about Lili's travel experience in detail. During the meal, he had already briefly told everyone,
But obviously that doesn't satisfy his strong desire to show off his niece.
Due to some special reasons, Pantalia, where the Pandaren live, has always been shrouded in fog and thus isolated from the world. However, Pandaren love liveliness and adventure by nature.
Therefore, there are always many Pandaren travelers who brave the dangers of sea waves and leave Pantalia to explore the outside world.
About two thousand years ago, there was a great adventurer Liu Lang in Pantalia. He chose to take an adventure on a huge sea turtle. In the Valley of the Four Winds in Pantalia, Liu Lang asked a big grocer about the gods.
Zhen Zhen purchased a lot of supplies, so Shenzhen gave him an umbrella and encouraged his adventurous behavior.
Because in the eyes of many Pandaren at the time, Liu Lang was a free-spirited lunatic who wanted to get out of the fog of Pantalia and see the outside world. Liu Lang was grateful for the grocer's encouragement, so he named him after him
Got his own turtle mount.
It took him five years to return to Pantalia for the first time when he went to sea. At that time, many pandas thought that he had died in the storm at sea. Seeing him return safely, a female panda
Joined his adventuring party.
And when he returned from his second adventure and told his experiences and stories to his compatriots, more and more pandas chose to go with him to see the outside world.
The turtle Shenzhenzi's body is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more pandas are partners, stepping on Shenzhenzi's back shell and following Liu Lang to explore the outside world.
Liu Lang was getting older and older. When he returned to his hometown for the last time, no pandas were willing to follow him to continue sailing. So Liu Lang chose to continue setting off. Perhaps feeling that his end was approaching, he talked to Shenzhenzi.
Farewell, and then passed away on a hill on the back of Shenzhenzi who had grown into a huge island.
The Stormstout family is the family of brewers who followed Liu Lang when he went to sea. After the legendary adventure master Liu Lang passed away, Shenzhenzi felt very lonely. It still remembered the agreement Liu Lang made with it before his death, which was to keep starting.
One great journey after another.
So Shenzhenzi continued to swim around Pantalia. At first, the pandas living on its back were able to communicate and contact Pantalia, but gradually, the mist of Pantalia engulfed the pandas.
Surrounded by continents.
The pandas lost contact with their compatriots in Pantalia and heard nothing from each other. So Shenzhenzi was named Wandering Island by the pandas and made it their home. There are still pandas who followed Liu Lang's example and explored the outside world.
, on the one hand, I want to continue to see the outside world, and on the other hand, I want to find the way back to Pantalia.
Inspired by Liu Lang's spirit, Lao Chen, like many of his predecessors on Wandering Island, left Shenzhenzi on a sea turtle. He had gone to sea several times before, and every time he returned from his travels, he would write a diary and take notes.
A few years ago, Lao Chen went to sea again, and then he came to the wetland, where he met the bronze-bearded dwarf Grim Thunderwine, and won the unanimous approval of the dwarves in the wine fighting competition with the other party, and
He also defeated the famous Dark Iron Dwarf brewmaster Colin Spirits who came to cause trouble.
King Magni Bronzebeard of Ironforge expressed his gratitude to Lao Chen and turned the wine fighting competition between Lao Chen and Grim Thunderwine into a wine festival, which began to spread in the dwarf country.
But Old Chen didn't stay in Ironforge for too long. He didn't even learn much dwarf language, so he continued his adventure and exploration, all the way from Dun Morogh south to the Kingdom of Stormwind, and then stopped in Booty Bay for a while.
, and then came towards the sea again.
His original intention was to return to the Wandering Island, but he was swept by the ocean currents to the Dustwallow Swamp on the Kalimdor continent. Next, he met Prell and his party.
As for Lili, this adventurous little panda girl found a note left by her uncle at home. Inspired by this, the little girl actually planned to go to sea alone, but was discovered by her teacher.
Zhuangbo tried to dissuade Lili to no avail. He knew that in addition to the pursuit of brewing, adventure was also a family inheritance in the blood of the Stormstout family. As a martial artist and geographer, Zhuangbo also wanted to see
Take a look at the world outside.
After getting the consent of Lili's father and Lao Chen's brother, the master and the apprentice, one older and one younger, set off on the road. They landed on the Gold Coast in the western wilderness, where they met a goblin who claimed to be a merchant.
.
After all, the pandaren on the Wandering Island have been isolated from the world for too long. They are simple in nature and lack enough guard against strangers, so they were quickly tricked by the goblins.
Lili and Zhuangbo arrived in Stormwind City, and then went to Ironforge, where they were warmly received by Magni Bronzebeard. They learned that they were following in the footsteps of Lao Chen, and Magni Bronzebeard specially sent
People escorted them to the port of Menethil in the wetlands and took a boat to Theramore.
However, their ship unfortunately encountered another ocean current and was blown to Azshara. Lili and Zhuangbo decided to explore Azshara. After saying goodbye to the captain who brought them there, they headed inland from the broken coast of Azshara.
.
At this time, the goblin they met in the western wilderness caught up with them. The goblin hired a troll hunter from the Bloodscalp clan in Stranglethorn Vale, a naga siren, and an evil orc warrior from the Dragonmaw clan in the wetlands.
Followed Lili all the way.
They came for the Pearl of Pantalia, and their purpose was to regain the treasure that was said to be able to predict the future.
It's a pity that after the tribe was established, although the orcs were still building the city of Orgrimmar, they sent patrols and scouts to Azshara in the north to continue to monitor this land.
This was one of the agreements reached between the night elves and the Horde after the Battle of Mount Hyjal. The Battle of Mount Hyjal did great damage to the night elves, but in the previous battle to defend Azshara, a small group of undead still escaped.
In order to completely eliminate these undead remnants, the badly weakened night elves had to cooperate with the tribes, especially the orcs.
The goblins and three of their men tried to force Lili to hand over the Pearl of Pantalia, but Lili and Zhuangbo retreated while fighting, and soon encountered the orc wolf cavalry patrolling the left side of the Azshara area.
Most of the orcs knew Lao Chen and saw the two pandaren being attacked, so they came to help. The goblins were unwilling to offend the orcs and the tribe, so they reluctantly chose to retreat.
Old Chen told the story of Lili and Zhuangbo in detail. He said in a tone that could not be concealed: "Ah, my lovely little niece is so brave and lucky!"
Prell asked: "What's the name of the leading goblin?" Lao Chen thought for a while and said: "It seems to be Salazar or something. With Lili's skills, they will not be opponents at all, haha!
"
Prell hesitated and asked, "So, what is the Pearl of Pantalia?"
"Oh, that was an orb that Lili and Zhuangbo discovered on a small island not long after they went to sea. Lili and Zhuangbo found that the orb could predict the future, so they named it the Pearl of Pantalia.
.That goblin’s companion, the Naga Siren, claims that the orb belongs to her, which is really ridiculous, she can’t even tell where she lost the orb!”
"That orc warrior, do you know him?"
"Is that the orc swordmaster who calls himself Rahgak? Many years ago when I was traveling in the wetlands, I met him and had a fight with him, but he lost. Orcs always seem to like to fight with others!
"
"These people should still be hiding in the Azshara area. I don't think they will let go of their targets easily. Maybe Lahjak intends to challenge you again! I don't think we can leave any trouble! We have to
Find them and get rid of the trouble!" Prell suggested.
Lao Chen hesitated for a moment. He was so excited to see Lili and Zhuangbo that he forgot about other things. After hearing what Prell said, he finally nodded: "Yes, these
Leaving people behind is always a hidden danger!"
He stood up: "Let me go and get rid of them all!" Prell quickly stopped: "I'll go with you. Since you dare to follow Lili, you are offending our Kingdom of Thresh. I must
Teach them a profound lesson!"
Old Chen laughed: "Don't worry, my friend, you are now the chief of the kingdom. There are too many affairs that need to be handled by you personally. You can't move lightly. Lili and I can handle these small things, so don't worry."
alright!"
The more he said this, the more Prell insisted on his decision. He knew that the moment he saw Lili appear, Lao Chen might have the idea of embarking on an adventure again.
It's just that Lao Chen is a panda who values love and justice. If he were asked to give up everything right away, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to do it. After all, his current status in Thresh Kingdom is respected, and many things cannot be settled by words.
In the end, Lao Chen had no choice but to follow Prell's advice. For Prell, this might be the last time he and Lao Chen team up to fight side by side.
