Chapter 606 Eat well
The last time I had a proper meal was probably a week ago in Thurbercher...
No, it was at the mayor's banquet in the town of Hillsbrad.
It used to taste like chewing wax, but we had to pretend it was delicious.
Lorraine was attending a banquet hosted by the local nobles, enjoying herself with the townspeople and tycoons. Major William once spoke with Lorraine's teacher about war and honor.
Do beliefs and factions really matter?
As it turns out, faith is priceless, and alignment is important!
One second the residents of Hillsbrad were dancing joyfully, the mayor was entertaining distinguished guests, the prince of Stromgarde was in high spirits, and Countess Katarina and Master Yuvel of the Silver Dawn were discussing Operation Storm to attack Undercity.
The Alliance suffered a crushing defeat in Operation Stormwind and ultimately failed to capture Undercity. However, in reality, the Alliance did not suffer any significant losses.
Humans still hold an absolute advantage in the Eastern Kingdoms.
The future of Lordaeron is bleak; the undead realm is unchangeable, and the Lich King's ambitions remain unchanged.
Of the seven human kingdoms, only the Storm Kingdom has reached its zenith... All races must accept human leadership, and the ancient and mysterious races are firmly suppressed by the seemingly weak humans... Humans are the embodiment of justice.
The Alliance is the justice of the Holy Light.
Of course, Lorraine never thought that way. In the hearts of Lorraine and her apprentice, the only true light was the once benevolent General Marcus...
Dalaran flew away. The day the purple Dalaran declared neutrality, the last few major powers of the seven human kingdoms had lost more than half. The remaining human kingdoms finally rallied under the Lionheart banner of Stormwind.
Whether forced or not, Gilneas is now a mere shell of its former self. The Wolf King has become a key figure in the Stormwind Alliance. If he wants to reclaim his territory and take revenge on the rebels and the undead, he must cling to the coattails of the Varian & Wrynn family.
As for Stromgarde, the former capital of the oldest human empire has long since fallen into ruin... The Stromgarde prince's efforts have all been in vain. It's uncertain whether he is still the same prince. What is known is that Stromgarde has joined forces with the Blackwater Raiders, the Syndicate rebels behind them, and Defias's group, making them enemies of the Alliance.
To be honest, there is a troublemaker and unstable element in the human alliance, and that is Lady Jaina.
This former Lich King's fiancée, the personal disciple of the Lord of Dalaran, a leader of the refugees from Theramore and Old Lordaeron, and half of the Kul Tiras navy, her goal is undoubtedly to recreate the glorious era when Lordaeron and Stormwind were on equal footing...
She spared no effort in mediating between the Horde and the Alliance, while simultaneously strengthening her influence in Dalaran. The Alliance's navy was practically under that woman's control... she herself was a magical fleet.
A new human magical weapon, Jaina's ambitions have never been spoken of before.
But anyone with a discerning eye could see that this socialite archmage who frequently changed boyfriends was actually a hidden big shot in Stormwind City who didn't respect her.
A powerful socialite, the daughter of the sea, she both prevented a greater conflict between Thrall's new Horde and the Stormwind Alliance, and never ceased her attacks and vengeance against the Forsaken of Lordaeron.
On the surface, the Alliance for the Restoration of Lordaeron is led by Archmage Anthrem, a staunch human force within the Six-Man Council of the Kirin Tor in Dalaran. In reality, however, the Silver Covenant and its allies include the new Chancellor-elect, Jaina Proudmoore.
Recently, through her battles with the Forsaken in the northern seas, Lady Jaina indirectly gained the approval of the remaining forces of Kul Tiras. The Daughter of the Sea will become the Queen of the Sea, regain command of the Kul Tiras Navy, and expand her territory overseas. The potential queen of an island nation may very well rival Stormwind!
The ice archmage that Lorraine had met, and even fought against, was his senior sister. The powerful mage's goal was probably to become the leader of the Kirin Tor, surpassing a woman like Aegwynn, the human weapon of the past.
And that's exactly how things have unfolded...
My senior sister is methodical, ambitious, upright, possesses exceptional temperament and extraordinary strength, and is nearing the end of her life...
What is Lorin, the protégé of Lady Aegwynn and a member of the Council of New Tirisfal, doing now? He's having a feast at Chen's Stormtavern, the Pandaren's home...
Panda Man Old Chen is not only a brewer, but his cooking skills are also superb.
Compared to the roasted bear, fried spider legs, and fried wolf kidneys at that country feast... or the mushroom soup, salted fish, roast turkey, vegetable salad, wine, and jerky...
Stormy Liquor & Chen made a steamed fish, chicken stew with mushrooms, stir-fried some kind of vegetable, as well as roasted meat and some unidentified animal offal. Lorraine found both the appearance and taste novel.
Especially when Old Chen poured out a strong liquor that was as clear as water, Lorraine almost spat out flames from her throat after just one small sip.
Soon I saw stars, felt dizzy, and my vision blurred...
This is really strong liquor!
The world is blurry; the dwarven spirits have similar effects, but taste completely different...
Lorraine seemed to feel an increase in her magical power; she didn't understand what Old Chen meant by "aphrodisiac." The rootless and unblemished Lorraine was completely overwhelmed by the storm of strong liquor, this time not through force...
It was merely a warm welcome to a necromancer from afar.
......
"You have three friends. Don't they need to eat? Why don't you invite them over to sit with you?"
"they?"
"The guys at the door who could kill me at any moment... If I'm not mistaken, those two orcs aren't real orcs, but that satyr is definitely a demon. My senses are correct."
"They don't need to eat, and they're absolutely loyal. Don't worry, Old Chen... they won't harm anyone without my orders..."
"That's good..."
......
"By the way, if you want to get out, there are a few troubles ahead."
"What? Ge'er!"
Lorraine vaguely heard the Panda Brewmaster say that there was more trouble ahead, and he immediately perked up his ears...
"Ahead is a troll village, where people are also seeking refuge from the war, but they are wary of strangers entering. After passing through the troll village, you'll have to go through the underground city, which is not safe. If you go ahead and out to sea, there's a secret passage to Ratchet. To the left are the Great Beast Cave and Sen'jin Village, the troll village. Razor Hill is your tribe's territory. But to the right, there are not only Kul Tiran coastal castles and outposts along the way, but further down is the human-occupied Dustwallow Marsh, Theramore Outpost."
"Troll Village? Ratchet? Sen'jin Village? Razor Hill? Theramore? Geyser!"
Lorraine, still dazed, quickly shook her head...
"This isn't where I want to go. I want to go to Razorfen Downs, not Razor Ridge... Razor Highlands... *burp*"
“I understand, you need to go the other way, towards the crossroads.”
Old Chen, a man who could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, solemnly gave his newly acquainted special friend some advice...
"The Troll Village is unavoidable, and so is the Underground City! The Elemental Plane entrance connects to the Storm Altar. I know you already know the biggest secret here, and it's best not to let anyone else know. This secret cannot be discovered by outsiders, and the monsters from the Abyss Web must not be allowed to escape... The Barrens hold many dangers and latent powers. Your tribe simply doesn't have the capacity to fully control them. Forget everything else, the underground kingdom of Ragefire Chasm alone has more than one level..."
"Troll Village! Underground City? Where does the Underground City lead to? Ah... hiccup... no, I've never heard of an Underground City... hiccup~"
......
"【Underground City】is the goblin black market. It's normal for outsiders not to know about it. It's just a filthy, mixed-up dump... It's said to be connected to Theramore, and the nearby Dread Isle is also their territory... The goblins are more powerful than you imagine. Venture capital firms' henchmen have been searching for this place."
"The seal that imprisoned the four elements at the Storm Altar has long since shattered, and the surrounding area is fraught with danger. The ancient path on the cliff face is broken. If you want to get out, you'll probably have to go through the Wailing Caverns or exit through the entrance to the Hall of Heroes. There's a group of Twilight Cultists nearby, and I sense a demonic aura emanating from them..."
“They’ve been plotting something on the mountaintop, and there are many of them! It must be the evil demon warlocks who are secretly corrupting this land. I’ve already sensed the unease in the elements.”
......
"I've heard of Ratchet. It's the place where you take a boat to Stranglethorn Vale, the territory of the Goblin High Tinker, a neutral seaport built on the coast with the Warchief's permission. I was planning to go there anyway... I haven't heard of the underground city you mentioned... Uh, I vaguely remember Wailing Caverns, but what about Halls of Valor? Hiccup..."
"Ghostmist Peak, the highest peak in the Barrens! You'll understand everything I'm talking about once you get there. But even after passing through Wailing Caverns and the Hall of Heroes on Ghostmist Peak, there are still the quilboar territory and the tauren camp of Taurajo blocking your way. If you take one wrong step, you'll encounter centaur bandits and the human army of the Northern Castle... Be prepared, not every race is friendly and hospitable."
......
"It's alright, uh, I'm going to Razorfen Downs. No difficulty can stop me. I'm going to Dire Maul, Winterspring, Moonglade, Tanaris... nothing can stop me..."
The panda nodded, smacked his lips, savoring the fine wine and food he had brewed. Seeing Lorraine's drowsy appearance, he smiled.
Confused, Lorraine felt a wooden toy resembling a whistle appear in her hand...
Old Chen's blessing echoed in her ears: "When danger strikes, blow it, my friend, Lorraine... You will surely succeed... You have a kind and courageous heart. The Stormbringer family blesses you, wishing you good fortune and health..."
