When to set off?
Of course, the sooner the better!
No guidance was needed at all. Michaela had long known the key to the door of Ahn'Qiraj, which was the legendary Scepter of Quicksand. It was smashed into three pieces by Fandral Staghelm and became the later Red Scepter. , blue and green fragments, and were given to the three dragons for safekeeping.
With Mikayla's current social circle, it is easy to get the red and blue fragments. The only green one is a bit more troublesome, but it is not impossible to get it.
"Because the most crucial thing among them, dragon language, Mikaila already knows!"
Torina will definitely seize the opportunity to show off her presence: "I was the one who poured all kinds of information into Mikayla's brain at the beginning, so all this is my credit."
Back to reality, the task of finding three fragments to reassemble the Quicksand Scepter is obviously not a task that can be completed by one person. Therefore, Commander Marlis assured Mikaela that he has prepared a group of outstanding adventurers to help Mikaela. Keira got the job done.
Of course, Michaela also has the right to arrange for a group of adventurers designated by him to help. For such an important task, the more helpers the better. As for the reward, Commander Marlis said there was no need to worry. When the mission was completed, the Cenarion Circle would be grateful.
What?
Why didn't the Cenarion Circle send their own people instead of asking adventurers to do it?
No need to ask, don't you feel bad if the adventurer dies...
Ahem, let’s get down to business.
According to the official statement of the Cenarion Circle, the forces of the Council must prepare for the subsequent war in Silithus, including but not limited to receiving reinforcements from the Alliance and the Horde, setting up strategic strongholds in front of the Gates of Ahn'Qiraj, and building defenses. fortifications, etc.
In short, the task of retrieving the Quicksand Scepter is left to our great, unique, chosen, strongest, most handsome, and most perfect protagonist, Michaela!
Well, the above is Torina bragging, but Michaela loves it.
According to Barry Stowers, the Watcher of the Quicksand, Michaela must first go to the Cave of Time in Tanaris to meet the bronze dragon Anachronos, and get the method to recast the Quicksand Scepter from the latter.
Um……
Mikaela only knew where the three fragments were, but how to put these three fragments together to form a quicksand scepter, Mikaela did not have the ability, so she had to find the bronze dragon.
Actually, with Michaela's temperament for cheating on time travellers, he doesn't need to be accompanied at all. He can just ask Torina to summon the player and everything will happen in seconds. However, Commander Marlis has agreed to arrange for adventurers to accompany him, so Just go according to his arrangement. You only need to take your sister Marlenia with you.
At this time, Torina spoke again: "Michaela, do you want to separate Malenia and Glade-Steel Ax because you often see them getting close to each other in the fortress?"
"nonsense!"
Michaela said: "I will never accept an orc brother-in-law, never!"
There was a "pop" sound, very quickly.
Time came the next morning, and the adventurers arranged by Commander Marlis for Mikaela had already gathered. According to the latter, they were the best warriors who had stood firm in the previous battle to clear the Twilight Hammer. A master of great achievements.
"Marlis boasts a lot. He is a warrior and a master."
Torina couldn't help but complain: "Michaela, it can't be someone you know."
Don't be so poisonous as your crow's mouth!
Unfortunately, it's too late, Torina is an instant poisonous milk.
"Tch, Michaela, it's you."
Mariana's familiar voice reached Michaela's ears, and Michaela's expression twitched several times in succession.
I knew it was you!
Couldn't it be her? During the previous operation to clear out the Twilight Hammer, it was Mariana who thought about snatching people away from Mikaela every day and taking the credit, and she really had this ability while holding the Balrog Hammer.
You see, Mariana also said to her husband Agri in front of Michaela: "Dear, how about we just make Michaela now, and then we can repair the Quicksand Scepter ourselves? "
Protruding!
Fortunately, Agri didn't answer, otherwise...
"Wait, Michaela."
Torina reminded: "Agri seems to have drawn his sword."
Damn it, are you really going to do it?
Fortunately, Agree was relatively calm. His words were: "Anna (Mariana's nickname), it's not convenient to do anything in the fortress."
Damn, do you really want to do it?
At this time, Barry Stowers, the Watcher of Quicksand, came over and said to Mikaela: "Ms. Mikaela, you were the one who led this group of adventurers before. Now they will help you complete your mission. I believe it will be successful." ,Good luck."
good luck?
What a good person you are!
With Mariana by my side, I was afraid that she would do me and replace me.
Mariana also said cooperatively: "Yes, that's what I thought."
Even Marlenia thought: "Hello, sister Marianna. I have never had the chance to formally greet you before. Do you have a good relationship with my brother?"
Look, even my sister...wait, what are you talking about!
Michaela's eyes almost popped out of her head. In just a few seconds, Marlenia and Mariana were already walking together!
"We women must know how to dress ourselves up."
Mariana took out her lipstick and said to Mariana: "This set of lipstick is very popular now. Even Ms. Liadrin is using it. I heard that Jaina from Theramore in the Alliance and Ms. Prestor from Stormwind City are also using it. Speaking for him..."
Hearing this, Torina asked on the spot: "Michaela, have we received any advertisement from the sponsor's father?"
Where did this advertisement come from?
Ahem, let’s get down to business.
After some "friendly" exchanges, Michaela finally got to know the members of Mariana's team.
The team currently has a total of seven people. The blood (holy) knight Mariana is the captain. The warrior Agri, Agan and Distel are all known to the two warlock brothers Michaela. The remaining three are:
Frame - Storm Totem, the orc shaman, is also the orc shaman who made Mikaela's eyes shine before. It turns out that he is also a member of Mariana's team.
Bane - Swifthoof, the tauren shaman, although he followed Mikaela in the battle to destroy the Twilight Hammer, his performance was not obvious because he seemed to be taking the path of restoration talent.
Shadel-Shadow Blade, a female, undead stalker from the Undercity. It is said that before the outbreak of the Scourge War, Shadel and A-Gump, who were still humans, were husband and wife.
Michaela couldn't help but narrowed her eyes and looked at A-Gump, are you lucky? Even if you were hit by a natural disaster or plague, your brother and wife were all saved.
A-Gump also noticed Michaela's gaze and turned away embarrassedly...
In this way, Michaela took the map given by Quicksand Warden Barry Stowers and led the team, leaving the fortress and embarking on the journey back to Gadgetzan.
After all, the Bronze Dragon's base, the Cave of Time, is in the desert southeast of Gadgetzan.
"Besides, we have walked this road many times and are very familiar with it!" Torina also raised her little hand and said loudly.
However, just when Michaela just walked out of the fortress, he felt a strange sight.
"who?"
Michaela turned around and saw a female dwarf priest nodding to her, then turned and left.
This dwarf priest looks familiar, but why can't I remember him?
It was Torina who reminded: "Michaela, that dwarf priest is an adventurer. He has participated in the battle to destroy the Twilight Hammer before. You should have seen him a few times. Now the alliance adventurer who comes to Silithus and Not much, and with the height of a dwarf, it should be very conspicuous. Don’t you remember?”
Michaela led the team away without saying anything.
In the next few days, Mikaela returned to the Marshall camp in Un'Goro Crater along the road, and then went all the way south through the passage and returned to Tanaris.
Feeling the familiar wind and sand in front of her, Mikaela continued to lead the team forward, striving to reach the Quicksand Post the next day, which was the only place in the Tanaris Desert where fresh water could be replenished.
Mariana also complained: "Michaela, you are very familiar with this road."
Mikayla smiled "haha", can you be familiar with it? I have walked it many times, and the insect nests in the west have been cleaned up. The number of local alien insects has not recovered yet, so this road is very safe. It was so safe that Michaela could fall asleep in the tent when setting up camp at night.
However, at this critical moment, Torina spoke up: "Michaela, wake up, someone is coming."
Michaela stood up from the folding bed with a start, and saw Mariana walking in, wielding the Flame Demon Hammer:
"Yo, wake up."
Michaela gritted her teeth and said: "Mariana, do you want to take the opportunity to kill me and replace me, and then throw all your crimes to the insect swarm next door!"
But the person who answered Michaela turned out to be her sister Maliania who followed Mariana and walked into the door tent:
"Brother, what are you talking about? Sister Mariana is patrolling because she is worried about the safety of the camp."
Um?
Michaela was stunned, and Torina also said: "Michaela, hurry up and teach your sister why she turns her elbows outward."
Fortunately, Michaela ignored Torina's nonsense, and he immediately asked: "Mariana, are you really on patrol?"
Mariana said: "The insect nest is next door, isn't it guaranteed to be safe?"
Marlenia also said: "Brother, even if the insect nest has been cleaned up, the number of alien insects has recovered a lot after this period of time. You must pay attention to safety."
Hmm...it seems like there's nothing wrong with it, right?
Michaela could only say: "Mariana, you are doing the right thing, please continue."
Torina also said: "Michaela, didn't Mariana want to have sex with you? Why did she change?"
Mikaela could only say: "Humans (elves) are complicated."
A night of silence.
The next day everyone set off again, heading north and arriving at Quicksand Post at dusk, and successfully set up camp next to the pool.
Once here, we can come to Gadgetzan tomorrow.
Michaela thinks this journey should be smooth, and Torina also said: "It will definitely be smooth with me here."
Then?
Then something went wrong.
"Huh? Someone is coming!"
Mariana, who noticed the movement outside, immediately notified the members of the camp. Agree, Frame and others immediately prepared for battle. Even Mariana opened the mechanism of the prosthetic limb and stretched out her sword to prepare for battle.
The fresh water spring at Quicksand Post is one of the very few water sources in the entire desert. Therefore, there are many people coming and going, including caravans, sandfury trolls, bandits, and even alien insects, so it has to be guarded against.
Soon, as the group of people gradually approached, Michaela immediately recognized each other. They were a goblin caravan from Gadgetzan.
Seeing this scene, everyone put away their weapons and breathed a sigh of relief.
The goblin caravan also discovered them. After setting up camp next to the fresh water spring, the goblin merchants took the initiative to say hello to Mikaela and others.
It turned out that the destination of this goblin caravan was Silithus, to trade with the Cenarion Council. Therefore, they also brought a new group of adventurers to Silithus.
New adventurer, do you know anyone I know?
Don’t tell me it’s true!
"Hey, Michaela!"
Celestine, who had not been seen for a long time, walked up, and the unexpected reunion also surprised Michaela: "Celestine, you are also going to Silithus!"
This is not over yet, at this moment, another acquaintance appears...
