Lingpingan felt a little chilly, so he put on the autumn clothes he bought two days ago.
Then I looked in the mirror and saw that it fit me perfectly!
He is very satisfied!
Meow!
Kitten Best was playing coquettishly at his feet.
Lingpingan picked it up, rubbed its head, and then said: "Let's go upstairs and have a look..."
"Move the little peach tree back into the house first..."
It's late autumn and the temperature will be getting lower and lower.
Although Jiangcheng City is in the south, winter is also very cold.
Therefore, the peach tree will have more days to take care of in the future.
When the sun comes out, you have to take it to the terrace.
When it rains, you have to move it back.
snow……
Well, growing up, Lingpingan has only seen heavy snowfall in the north in the news...
So, holding the kitten in his arms, he walked up to the third floor.
At a glance, I saw the small peach tree in the plastic pot at the foot of the wall.
The little peach tree seems to have grown a little taller.
Pieces of tender green leaves have grown out.
There are even traces of patterns on the young tree trunk.
"It's so beautiful!" Lingpingan looked at these patterns and liked them very much.
Because these patterns seem to be black and white lines.
Just like Gungun and the killer whale, they look so cute!
So, he held the plastic basin and carefully placed it next to the slow oven.
Meow!
The kitten in my arms meowed softly to the little peach tree in the plastic basin.
The cry sounded a little unhappy.
He seemed to be scolding.
Lingpingan listened and shook his head in amusement.
My cat seems to be at odds with this little peach tree.
So, he touched the little guy's head and taught softly: "Little darling, please be obedient..."
The little guy immediately stuck out his tongue affectionately and licked the back of his master's hand.
Then he shouted triumphantly at the sapling in the plastic pot.
Meow!
The small saplings slowly unfold their leaves in the autumn wind.
Lingpingan looked at it, smiled, and walked downstairs with the kitten in his arms.
The moment he turned around, Kitty Best's amber cat eyes saw the leaves of the sapling in the plastic pot, with traces of golden veins looming.
……………………
Sunwell Plateau.
The once sacred temple has now become more solemn.
The sunlight falls on the golden well water, reflecting layers of ripples.
The little sapling slowly spreads its leaves by the well.
On the emerald green leaves, golden veins flow slowly.
Countless high elves gathered around.
Today, the Ranger General is no longer here.
The mother tree has become the backbone of everyone.
These refugees, who managed to escape from the nightmare of natural disaster that day, have never been so firm in their belief in the sacred Sunwell.
As for the mother tree, they worship the mother tree with utmost piety.
Because, the Mother Tree purified the polluted Well of the Sun.
He also decomposes and purifies arcane energy.
Let people enjoy purer and healthier arcane energy.
No need for arcane crystals anymore.
Every time the mother tree expands its leaves, a large amount of arcane energy can be volatilized into the air.
The entire island of Quel'Danas is filled with pure and abundant arcane energy.
The refugees healed their past wounds in the arcane.
Thus, the belief in the mother tree naturally began.
This is the characteristic of elves.
Since the Well of Eternity era, all elves have an irresistible fascination and worship for the World Tree.
The various magical miracles of this young mother tree made these surviving refugees fall into fanatical worship.
Therefore, every time it reappears on the Sunwell Highlands, it will attract thousands of cheers and worship.
People trust it and believe in it.
It's even impossible to leave it.
but……
There are dissident elements among the crowd.
These people gathered together quietly, and they were whispering.
"Where exactly is Sylvanas of the Windrunner family going to take us?"
"Why doesn't she contact the Alliance general in Lordaeron?"
"Why not contact the Sunstrider family?"
"Does she want to usurp power?"
In the discussions of these people, the refugees on Quel'Danas Island have inevitably been a little shaken in the past few days.
But the high elves soon forgot all this in the energy of arcane magic.
However, the seeds of doubt have already been planted.
Therefore, some people believe that the time has come.
It’s time to restore the country!
They took advantage of the opportunity that others were on their way to the Sunwell Highlands to make a pilgrimage, and quickly controlled every key point on the island.
armory……
port……
And most importantly, the arcane giants that were just repaired.
In an instant, most key points on the entire island fell into the hands of the royalists.
They knew the time was ripe.
So, someone lit the arrow.
The magic arrow flies into the sky.
In the distance, a fleet that had been waiting on the coastline saw the command arrow.
They started to set sail.
Kael'thas stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the high elf island in the distance.
"Would it be inappropriate for us to do this?" He asked the people around him: "Why not wait for Windrunner to come back from Stratholme?"
"Then I'll ask her myself?"
"Your Highness the Prince..." The human general wearing heavy armor said behind him: "We think this is the best opportunity..."
"The Ranger General of the Windrunner family is no longer reliable!"
"Our intelligence shows that she disappeared from the battlefield inexplicably when she was fighting against the natural disaster that day..."
"After she appeared again, she already had many characteristics that high elves did not have, and she even called herself a sun elf..."
"Who knows what she went through?"
"Who knows if she has been corrupted by something evil?"
"The tragedy of Alsace cannot be repeated again!"
Kael'thas listened, the expression on his face changing.
But he actually had no choice.
because……
This human being is the only strength he can rely on and rely on.
I want to revive the high elves and rebuild the kingdom of Quelsanas.
And to survive in this increasingly dangerous world, it is obviously impossible to rely solely on the high elves that have been completely destroyed and dispersed by natural disasters.
His father died in the war.
The entire upper echelon of the Silver Moon Council died in the battle.
The war destroyed almost everything!
Silvermoon City, Quel'Danas, and even the Sunwell were contaminated.
The last elite of the high elves were Sylvanas, her two sisters, and him, the prince.
"Marshal Garithos..." Kael'thas could only say: "I hope your judgment is correct!"
The other party laughed.
The weakness of the high elf prince was easier to deal with than he thought.
"Elf..." He sneered in his heart.
The past events of the second war were recalled bit by bit in his mind.
The death of parents and brothers in the war, the pain of the people in the territory.
He remembers it clearly so far!
And the culprits that caused all the disasters were other than those dirty orcs.
The first ones to bear the brunt are the arrogant elves who are allies but refuse to save them.
Now, the time is ripe for revenge.
He wanted to torture and humiliate those proud elves bit by bit.
Let them know what it feels like to suffer the pain of destroying a family and losing a fellow human being!
Of course, on the surface, the marshal who actually had the largest number of troops after the destruction of the Kingdom of Lordaeron actually said to Kael'thas in a friendly manner: "Your Highness, don't worry too much..."
"Even if General Sylvanas is really innocent..."
"Then, after she comes back and finds out, it won't be too late for us to restore her reputation!"
"Everything is to fight against natural disasters and for the world!"
"I believe that the noble Windrunner family will understand this sacrifice!"
Kael'thas listened and could only nod.
He has been studying magic in Dalaran and is too immature.
He is also too young.
In addition, the entire Kingdom of Quel'Thalas was undergoing drastic changes, and the country and its people were in dire straits, so he didn't have so much to think about.
He only thinks about restoring the country, rebuilding Silver Moon City, and appeasing the people.
The fleet cut through the waves, quickly crossed the strait, and landed on the island of Quel'Danas.
One ship after another, the ships docked directly.
The deck was lowered, and heavily armed human heavy cavalry began to land.
The alliance's battle flag waved high.
The people who responded to them immediately opened various defense facilities and got out of the way.
So, surrounded by a whole group of knights.
Prince Kael'thas returned to the Sunwell where he thought about day and night, and also returned to his people.
only……
All the high elves looked at their prince with suspicious eyes.
"Your Highness..." A veteran who lost a leg in the war asked: "Why are you with humans?"
"Where is General Sylvanas?"
When Kael'thas heard the question, he smiled and said, "I just came from the Kingdom of Lordaeron..."
"I haven't had time to tell General Sylvanas yet..."
"I believe General Sylvanas will understand me..."
"As for..." He looked at Garithos beside him: "Please allow me to introduce to you..."
"Baron Masmar from Blackwood Lake in Lordaeron, His Excellency Garithos, Marshal of the Restoration of Lordaeron!"
"Your Excellency, Marshal, is here to help us restore our country!"
The high elves immediately started talking.
The descendants of the Sunstrider family are back, which is indeed a happy event.
But he comes back with humans?
Moreover, there is an entire heavily armed knight order and even a fleet.
This is different.
Some mature people even immediately thought that if these human beings stayed here, they would not leave.
So, is the Kingdom of Quelsanas or the country of the high elves?
More seriously, is the Sunwell still owned by the high elves?
Some high elves who lived longer even remembered many things during the Second War.
So, someone in the crowd said: "In that case, thank you Marshal!"
"Now, since His Highness the Prince has returned safely..."
"Then please ask the Marshal to take your people and withdraw from Quel'Danas!"
"This is our sacred place!"
Garithos's expression immediately changed.
"High elves are still as arrogant as before!" He sneered in his heart: "But a group of homeless dogs, what is there to be arrogant about?"
The high-level combat power of Quel'Thalas was almost wiped out in the natural disaster war!
The Silvermoon Council is gone.
The old king also died in the battle.
Even the Sunwell was polluted by natural disasters!
How dare you scream like a beggar?
So, he winked.
The loyal cavalry under his command immediately drew their swords.
The Paladins began to infuse the Holy Light.
"His Royal Highness Prince Kael'thas..." Garithos smiled and said to Kael'thas: "I suspect that there are minions of natural disasters remaining in your kingdom..."
"For the sake of your safety, I hope you can agree to my search of everything on the entire island to prevent the minions of natural disasters from mixing in the crowd and plotting evil..."
"This..." No matter how stupid Kael'thas is, he understands that this human marshal is threatening, a naked threat!
But, he didn't have any good ideas.
After all, he doesn't have anyone under his command.
A polished commander!
To a certain extent, what Garithos did was something he was happy to see.
The Sunstrider family wanted to regain their rule, especially to regain control of Quel'Danas.
You have to rely on external forces.
Humans are a good choice.
but……
He also understands the truth that it is easier to ask God than to send Him away.
If Garithos can act unscrupulously according to his wishes, then in the future, the high elves may become human vassals and pawns.
Even he, the prince of the Sun Chaser family, is probably no exception.
Maybe, these humans will even rebuild their kingdom in Silvermoon City!
And who will appeal to the high elves?
Night Elf?
Do not make jokes!
To the night elves, the high elves are probably more hateful than the orcs!
If everyone died, how many tears would you shed?
Therefore, Kael'thas thought for a while and said: "Marshal, there is no need to be so serious... I believe that my people are all pure!"
pity……
At his words, Garithos just sneered.
He drew out the knight's sword.
"Your Highness, it's not that I don't believe you..."
"Indeed, the corrosion caused by natural disasters is everywhere..."
"For the safety of you and my soldiers, I have to take this step. I hope you can understand!"
So, he pointed forward: "Anyone who dares to disobey will be regarded as a betrayal of the Sun Chaser family and a blasphemy to the sacred alliance!"
"Soldiers, obey my orders!"
Groups of cavalry began to urge the horses forward.
Heavy armored infantrymen holding large shields formed a human wall.
Behind him, the magician began to accumulate magical energy.
The griffin knights even began to circle.
Although the Kingdom of Lordaeron was destroyed, the remaining military power is still unstoppable to the current high elves!
At least, in Garithos' eyes, those crooked refugees on the island in front of him are absolutely impossible to fight against!
Therefore, he is full of confidence!
Kael'thas was completely panicked.
He dared not speak out to object now - if humans were offended and started killing people on the island, even he might not be able to survive.
He even dared not support it - it was no different from a traitor, and the glory of the Sun Chaser family would be tarnished!
At this moment, a group of Dragon Eagle Knights suddenly appeared from the clouds in the distance.
Lieutenant of House Windrunner, Lotharmar rides on a dragonhawk.
The surviving elites of Quel'Thalas fell to the ground one by one.
"Salute to you!" Lorsama bowed to Kael'thas: "Your Highness the Prince..."
Then he looked at Garithos: "Your Excellency, Marshal, I won't bother you here..."
"The great Quel'dorei will handle his own internal affairs!"
"Right?" He looked at Kael'thas, the only bloodline of the Sunstrider family: "Your Highness the Prince!?"
As Kael'thas listened, beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.
He finally understood that this was a trap.
Humans and high elves are all calculating against each other.
The target of the calculation is him, the Windrunner who currently controls the island of Quel'Danas.
Otherwise, why hasn't Lotsama appeared for a long time, why has he appeared now?
He and his Dragon Eagle Knights are probably already waiting in the distance.
Just waiting for this moment.
No doubt about it!
This is a coup!
This is a power grab!
It’s also a usurpation!
But what can he do?
He has no soldiers under his command, only the title of the Sunstrider family.
even……
Because of what happened just now, even his people no longer believe in him.
"You..." After Kael'thas understood, he no longer hesitated. He finally looked like a real prince and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Garithos laughed.
Now, he no longer hides it.
"Stormwind City has an order..."
"The Sunwell of Quel'Danas has been contaminated by natural disasters!"
"To prevent it from causing more damage and disaster!"
"I was ordered to destroy it!"
Garithos said righteously: "Holy Light! For the sake of the overall situation of the alliance, please cooperate with us, Your Highness!"
Lor'themar laughed loudly when he heard this: "Humans...hehehe..."
"I see that in addition to orders from Stormwind City, you also have instructions from Darnassus!"
"In the Sunwell, a young world tree of unknown origin appeared..."
"Other World Trees have felt it..."
"I want to destroy it before it grows..."
"The alliance's calculations are indeed very loud!"
"But...the Alliance, do you listen to Stormwind City or Darnassus?" Lor'themar asked maliciously.
Kael'thas' thoughts were completely confused.
Since Garithos is following orders from Stormwind City and even Darnassus.
What about Lor'themar?
Where did this former adjutant of the Ranger General follow orders from?
What does he want to do again?
Prince Sun Chaser, no matter how hard he thinks about it, there is another force that he can rely on in this world?
But Lor'themar didn't say anything, he just looked at the human opposite him quietly.
"Let's go!" He said: "If you don't leave, you won't be able to leave..."
The sea is rolling.
One after another, thick Nagas squirmed and crawled out.
Kael'thas looked at the naga, and he finally understood.
