Sylvanas rode a pure white Quel'Thalas Chocobo, followed by her sister and brother, and slowly walked towards the Sun King's Gate.
The gate of Silver Moon City is called the Gate of the Sun King. There is a huge statue at the entrance, which is the statue of the former king Dath'Rema. On the walls of this magic city, there are countless statues of various kinds.
Most of them are the deeds of famous heroes, mages and former kings in the history of high elves.
To be honest, some senior scholars of Azeroth feel that the high elves like to name their energy source after "the sun" to show their disconnection from night life, so it seems that the capital city named after "the moon" seems a bit strange.
The name of the most important capital city of the high elves who worship the sun is Silvermoon City.
Why the high elves chose this name instead of the sun is unknown. Some scholars and high elves speculate that perhaps when Dath'Remar was building the city, he was still sad about abandoning his past life, so he
(Only) this was retained to remind his people not to forget where they came from.
In addition to language and some architectural styles, the only traces of the high elves' past life are the names of their capitals.
Like most of the architecture in Quel'Thalas, Silvermoon City was heavily influenced by the Highborne Art Nouveau style.
In this luxurious city, magic and nature merge into one, with lawn-paved open-air courtyards and ornamental flower bushes everywhere (a large part of which are shaped into impossible shapes under the influence of magic).
The city's favorite colors are gold, white and red, which have not changed in 7,000 years.
All high elves love this city, and all high elves love their country.
At least that's the case for now.
Just like the three siblings of the traveler family who are preparing to pass through the Gate of the Sun King.
Sylvanas is a tall elf girl with a slim appearance, a curvy figure, and a beautiful face. This elf's appearance, even among the high elf tribe that is rich in beauties, is still of a level worthy of more description.
.
Behind her were her younger sister and younger brother, who were also riding Chocobos. Her younger sister, Vereesa, had not grown yet and was a head shorter than her older sister, but her pretty face showed that the Windrunner family genes were very strong.
Outstanding. Behind the two high elf girls is Lylas Windrunner, their younger brother.
Compared to his sisters who attracted the attention of the elves while walking on the road, Lylas Windrunner was a little more ordinary. He was now following behind his two sisters, skillfully controlling the chocobo and preparing to enter the city of glory of the elves.
The road connecting the Gate of the Sun King to Yongsong Forest is very lively, with a large number of high elves constantly coming in and out. Occasionally there will be traces of some dwarfs and humans, but there are no other races.
Humans are the only allies of the elves on the surface, and Dalaran, which is dominated by humans, is also the only magic academy in Azeroth that Silvermoon City recognizes. Therefore, elves and humans have always been relatively decent. Of course, here
Humans specifically refer to human mages.
Due to their generally extremely high intelligence and research on enchantment engineering, gnomes have also attracted some elves to identify with them.
The three elves, the Windrunner sister and brother, who control the chocobo, still seem a bit conspicuous when walking among the elves, attracting the attention of some ordinary high elves.
Lilas Windrunner is not very used to this kind of sight, because he only accepts the baptism of this kind of sight when he is walking with his sisters.
But his second sister and youngest sister have long been accustomed to this kind of public attention and have taken it for granted.
When they were almost under the Gate of the Sun King, the three elves, brother and sister, noticed that many high elves gathered on the left side of the city gate, making the originally spacious gate seem a bit crowded.
Vereesa and Lyras, who had rarely come to Silvermoon City, were a little curious, and the younger brothers of the Windrunners even stretched their necks to look over there.
This earned him a scolding from his sister: "Lalas! Tell me, I told you when I was training you, what are the most important qualities that an outstanding person should have!!"
Lilas Windrunner's body trembled visibly when he heard his second sister's call. He had three sisters, but among the three sisters, the one he feared the most was the unsmiling second sister.
Lilas Windrunner lowered his head, counted the feathers on the neck of the chocobo in front of him, and said softly: "Second sister, you said that the most important quality a ranger should have is first to be focused, then to be focused, and finally to be focused.
"
"That's right!" The girl Sylvanas looked down at her younger brother. "So, do you think you were focused just now?"
"No..." Lylas Windrunner lowered his head in frustration. He was very curious about the group of elves over there and stretched his neck to take a look. It obviously did not comply with the Windrunner family's rules for rangers. When he was on his way, he should
Concentrate on going on your way, rather than stopping and looking around!
"It's good to know!" Sylvanas said. "Be careful next time."
"Yes..." Lylas Windrunner replied weakly.
Seeing her younger brother, who was a little frustrated because of her reprimand, Sylvanas had already become famous at a young age and had the hope of catching up with her equally talented sister, a trace of unbearability flashed in her heart.
She said: "Don't be curious. Lilas, there are just some civilians watching a dirty beast over there."
"Beast? What's so good about a beast?" Lylas Windrunner asked curiously.
Due to the cleansing of the forests by the elves, the beasts that can live in the two places of Eversong Forest and Moonsong Forest are all harmless to the elves. Even the very fierce-looking mountain lion of Quel'Thalas, in the mountain forest
When encountering elves, they will lie down and act cute. Mountain lions without this ability were eliminated by the high elves thousands of years ago.
Therefore, Lylas Windrunner was curious about what kind of beast it was that had everyone watching like this. Maybe it was a rare beast from outside Quel'Thalas?
"It's not really a beast. It's...well, it can also be regarded as a beast." The girl Sylvanas responded to her brother's curiosity with rare patience.
The younger sister Vereesa, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke.
"A beast that's not a beast? Oh, I know what it is! I heard everyone say it when I was in Windrunner Village!" Vereesa said happily.
"Yes, it's just like you thought. Vereesa, so there's nothing interesting to see." Sylvanas said calmly.
"A beast that is not a beast? What kind is it?" Lilas Windrunner listened to the conversation between the two sisters, and he became even more curious.
"Hahaha~" Vereesa looked at her brother and laughed. "My dear Lyras! What Sylvanas is talking about is not actually a beast! Those civilians should be watching a forest troll!"
"Forest troll? Beast? Oh..." Lilas's voice was long, and the smart young elf brother already understood.
As the male of the Windrunner family, Lylas Windrunner, who is likely to inherit the position of patriarch in the future, has been trained as a ranger since he was a child. In addition, he lives in Moonsong Forest, and his father and mother are the descendants of all rangers in Quel'Thalas.
Leader, so he often participates in conflicts between elves and trolls.
There were many times when the elves captured the forest trolls. In order to exercise the children's courage, Lyras's father asked his men to escort the trolls in front of Lylas and his sisters.
So in fact, although he has not officially participated in the battle, or is not even an official ranger, Lylas has seen many times the rangers' main enemies, the dirty and ferocious forest trolls who are full of hostility to the elves.
Such an ugly thing can indeed be called a beast that is not a beast. But what is there for everyone to watch about such an ugly thing? In order to show off the elves' bravery and let the elves not forget the threat of trolls, Silvermoon City captures them every year
Live some trolls and send them near the city gate to kill the elves and see.
So in fact, except for some young elves and country elves who have never been to Silvermoon City, most elves should have seen forest trolls.
"Why are you gathering around a forest troll?" Lyras finally couldn't help but asked his sisters out of curiosity.
Sylvanas didn't answer him.
Sister Vereesa responded to him with a smile: "Because this beast is not simple. He is the king of the "beasts"! That's right, the king of a forest troll! He is the culprit of this troll war. He was killed
We have caught it! In compliance with the orders of the Sun King and the Silver Moon Council, this beast is locked up here at the city gate, and every elf who passes by should spit on him."
"Oh..." Liras said in a long voice.
He understands.
A forest troll, but not an ordinary forest troll, but the king of those forest trolls.
That's really worth watching.
Lilas Windrunner also wanted to see the king of trolls. How was he different from ordinary trolls?
The young Windrunner became more curious and wanted to see the excitement.
But he didn't dare to go there.
Because at this time Sylvanas had spoken again: "Don't delay here. We have to go to Sunfury Square! Mother and father are still waiting for us! Maybe it has something to do with Alleria! Our sister left Silver Moon
The city has not been back for half a year!"
"Yes! Let's go to the square." Vereesa also said.
Lilas Windrunner had no objection at all to the two sisters' decision.
He knew it was useless to object.
At home, the father has the highest authority. Then the mother, then the sisters.
The young elf boy followed quickly on a chocobo. But while he was on his way, Lyras couldn't help but look back at the bustling place to the left of the Sun King's Gate.
Lilas was really curious.
Does the king of trolls look like ordinary trolls? Or is he just bigger...
There is no elf in Silvermoon City who can answer Lylas's doubts.
