Azeroth, is the name of this world originally called Azeroth?
Turani's eyes unconsciously turned to the blackened land of the Blackrock Mountains and the Burning Steppes. Although it seemed that Azeroth had suffered the same disaster as Draenor, the Soulbinder really felt it. Realize that this world is not just what it seems.
"You said you saved me? But why did you save me..."
Turani didn't know how she traveled through the dark universe and came to another planet, but she could think that completing such a thing would definitely not be without a price.
She didn't know who actually rescued her from the Pool of Agona, nor did she know what Alsace's purpose was.
But spending so much effort to save a stranger cannot be explained by kindness and kindness. Even Turani, who believed in the Holy Light and had a pure heart, had to be suspicious of Alsace's purpose.
But Alsace was surprised by Turani's straightforwardness, "Maybe you have also thought of it. Indeed, your identity is very helpful to our cause. This is half the reason why my knight rescued you from the pile of demons." Bar."
My own identity?
Turani couldn't understand what Alsace said. What identity could she have? A Draenei priest, an Auchenai, or a Soulbinder? But these identities are not considered special and noble, and after the destruction of Auchindoun, he was just an ordinary priest.
She really didn't know what could be attempted on someone like her. Even if she was caught by a demon, she would be killed immediately and her soul would be thrown into the furnace as fuel.
Arthas saw Turani's confusion. He walked up to the Delaney with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Are you thinking about your identity that others can take advantage of? It's actually very simple. , because you may be the first Draenei who enters Azeroth and is mentally and physically healthy."
Turani was obviously confused for a moment, but she quickly asked, "Besides me, are there any other draenei in Azeroth?"
Obviously, she only focused on noticing in the entire paragraph that Arthas' subtext was that there were other draenei on Azeroth.
Arthas nodded, "This is not incomprehensible. When the orcs first invaded Azeroth? They also brought a large number of Draenei prisoners of war with them? During the chaotic process of the orcs' invasion and defeat, among them, It's normal for some people to be able to escape."
"Them? Are they okay?"
Is there any hope for Turani to survive? Arthas obviously knows that there are draenei living on Azeroth, so maybe these compatriots can be found again.
But soon? Turani suffered a blow.
Arthas shook his head this time to deny Turani's thoughts, "The torture the orcs inflicted on Delaney? And the hardships on the way to escape? Coupled with the harsh environment of the place where they currently live, most of them They’ve all lost their minds.”
"Losing...your mind?"
Turani suddenly shuddered, and she suddenly realized what Arthas might be saying.
"Without the protection of holy light and magic, how can a group of unarmed prisoners of war survive in the harsh swamp? What's more, there are orcs pursuing them behind them? At that time? The orcs had not yet been completely defeated, and... The swamp they were in was already a dangerous place."
Alsace's words extinguished the last glimmer of hope in Turani's heart. She could imagine what kind of suffering her compatriots endured during those years. In the end, she became one of the lost.
"The Lost, the Broken, that's what you call these guys, right?"
"They are still our compatriots." When Turani said this, she didn't even have the slightest confidence. She had not forgotten how her own people drove those who had undergone strange changes from the camp.
What turned the draenei into the lost and broken remains a mystery. Even the prophet Velen didn't know why these draenei suffered so much. There was no way to reverse this change.
Is this like a disease hidden among the draenei tribe? No one knows when it will break out in someone's body, twisting a beautiful draenei into a "hateful" monster.
Turani has come into contact with the Lost because of her special experience and identity. They are different from the Broken who have fallen even more completely, almost completely losing their minds and relying only on instinctive activities. Most of them still retain their noble hearts, but They suffered a lot because of the changes in their bodies.
Think about it, any person, due to unknown and irreversible reasons, becomes a deformed monster that everyone despises. No matter how kind or noble you are, you can still feel the rejection and hatred from others.
Therefore, some draenei have both sympathy and fear for the Lost, because they don't know whether they will become the same deformed creatures by getting close to these Lost.
But Turani was very sure that the "curse" of the Lost was not spread due to contact, but was something that even the prophet Velen and scholars had not figured out, and it was even less possible for her to fully understand it.
She only came to this conclusion through her own personal experience - many of the Delaney refugees who fled with her became the Lost inexplicably. If this was really a contagious disease, she He should not be spared.
But the fact is that Turani still remains normal and has not become deformed and ugly.
In any case, when the kind-hearted Soulbinder heard that her people living in Azeroth had become lost or broken, she could not hide the sadness and disappointment in her heart.
"They finally escaped from the clutches of the orcs, why do they still have to experience such a fate...Holy Light...please tell me..."
Turani whispered a prayer to calm down her somewhat negative and decadent emotions.
"If the Holy Light can really tell you the answer, then Prophet Velen will not be equally helpless."
Turani was shocked by Alsace's words. She stared at Alsace closely, as if she didn't understand why this human knew so clearly about Draenor and his own tribe.
At the same time, she couldn't help but add a sentence, "The Holy Light may not be omnipotent, but it still brings us hope in our most desperate moments."
Arthas smiled after hearing this and raised his hand casually, "The Holy Light may become faith, but it does not bring you hope, but your hope summons the Holy Light."
Turani blinked in confusion at first, and then she saw a scene that she couldn't believe at all.
A pure, bright and flawless light rose from Alsace's palm and slowly rose into the sky until it disappeared into the thick clouds.
At this moment, the breeze suddenly picked up, and the clouds illuminated by the holy light rising from Alsace's hand were slowly pushed aside by the light, revealing the azure sky behind the clouds.
Turani was stunned, not knowing whether she saw the long-lost blue sky or the holy light summoned by Alsace.
The Delaney "prisoner" rubbed his eyes and looked at Alsace again in disbelief, "So..."
She was still wondering why she felt inexplicably close to Arthas. It turned out that he was also a user of the Holy Light!
Arthas didn't speak for the time being, but just looked up at the scattered clouds: It seems that Ragnaros has really left, and there is no way to affect the climate of the Burning Plains.
After a while, Turani finally couldn't help asking, and this time it was a series of questions, "You also believe in the Holy Light? But why did the death knight call you His Majesty? What exactly do you want me to do?"
"Don't be anxious," Arthas said slowly after hearing Turani's questions, "I will answer them one by one, but let us talk about you first."
Turani nodded. After discovering that Alsace could also summon the Holy Light, she suddenly became less resistant. Perhaps she believed from the bottom of her heart that people who could be recognized by the Holy Light would at least not be evil people.
"What I want you to do is very simple, and that is to say hello to Prophet Velen on my behalf and invite him to Azeroth."
Alsace's plan made Turani hesitate for a moment. After she said "hmm", she froze in place for a long time before replying hastily, "Let me go see the prophet Velen..." But I'm just an ordinary Draenei, how can the prophet see me? As for your other request, I can't help you much."
Unexpectedly, Alsace was not discouraged. Instead, he held Turani's arm with his hand, and with a gentle force, he unlocked the magic shackles on her body, allowing Turani to call upon the power of the Holy Light again. And the arcane ring that can translate languages is considered a gift.
Turani held her wrist and moved her hands. She also found that she could get the response of the Holy Light again. The restrictions set by Onyxia no longer existed.
"Aren't you afraid that I will run away or attack you?"
Alsace really wanted to laugh. Turani must be quite young, so why does she look so innocent? It stands to reason that a Delaney who has experienced the massacre of Shattrath and all the subsequent events should be wary of strangers.
"Since you consider yourself a believer in the Holy Light, you will not take action against your savior. What's more, during this period of time, apart from forcing you to stay here, we have not done anything to force you. "
Arthas said naturally, "Your identity is very special and you cannot move around freely in Azeroth. After all, you are a creature that has never appeared in the eyes of the public in Azeroth. That's why I let Oni Xia will take control of you and check whether you can adapt to the environment of Azeroth."
So the blood and tissue samples that were taken away from me were used for this?
Turani always felt that her experience was a bit strange. She was imprisoned by an evil-looking "woman" and had a terrifyingly oppressive death knight guarding the door. However, the boss of the other party turned out to be a pleasant paladin. ?
Thinking of this, she immediately used the holy light to thoroughly check her soul to see if she had been blinded by any evil magic.
Arthas didn't say anything, and just watched Turani summon the Holy Light there, watched her cleanse her soul with the Holy Light, and then watched the light of the Holy Light gradually fade away.
"There is no influence of magic, right?" Arthas said, regardless of Turani's reaction, he continued, "As for Thassarian - the death knight who is now standing guard at the entrance to the terrace, he once It was my loyal subordinate who died in the confrontation with the devil."
"Fighting against the devil...could it be said..." Turani seemed to finally understand the root of all the problems.
"As you can imagine, we and Delaney have a common enemy, and that is the Burning Legion. I think this reason alone is enough for you to talk to the Prophet."
"The Burning Legion..."
This hateful and despised name is remembered by almost every draenei, and they are also the source of all disasters and disasters.
However, Turani replied with some frustration, "Maybe you are not lying, but, as I said, I am just a very ordinary Draenei. The prophet is busy with his affairs and can hardly spare time to see me."
"He will meet you." Arthas replied categorically. This time, his words became serious and unquestionable, "Because only joining forces is the only hope to defeat the Burning Legion, or in other words, do you want to Let your compatriots spend the rest of their lives forever in that world or those spaceships that may be destroyed at any time?"
Turani couldn't help but feel nervous. She noticed that Alsace's aura was completely different from before. She was almost overwhelmed by the power exuded by Alsace.
"No, maybe you can't survive just yet, because the Burning Legion has long been eyeing the broken Draenor. Do you want to continue to linger in a broken world, or do you choose to join us and smash those damn legions into pieces? Completely defeated?”
The barrage of sentences caused the power of the arcane bracelet to flash almost continuously. Turani was stunned for a while when she was told, but she always felt that Alsace was not talking to her, even though now In front of him, I am alone.
This strange thought just flashed through Turani's mind. Alsace's tone suddenly became soothing, and he returned to his original kind attitude, but his views were still very firm, "If you understand this, At one point, the prophet will definitely meet you, Turani."
Turani pursed her lips. She didn't know why Arthas was so sure, but she still replied, "But I have to return to my own world first and find my tribe."
Alsace looked at her and said slowly, "It won't be long. Before that day comes, you should follow me first, so that at least your safety can be guaranteed."
