Chapter 106
Ocean sailing is actually very boring. In this world where there are not many entertainment items, most of the days when sailing on a ship can only be stupidly looking at the vast sea in a daze.
Fortunately, he was accompanied by his girlfriend on this trip. When he was bored on the boat, Charlemagne simply told Alleria the past secrets and future predictions he knew like a story.
"Naru...I didn't expect there to be such a creature made of pure holy light energy in the vast universe."
"Well, but naaru are not purely made of holy light, remember what I told you before? Light and shadow are actually two sides of one body. Naaru will gradually transform into pure light after being seriously injured and depleted of its holy light energy. of shadow energy aggregates."
In fact, Charlemagne has always been skeptical and wary of these jigsaw puzzle-shaped holy light batteries. When later generations counterattacked Argus, the original Naruzela's abnormally tough style obviously did not conform to the style of the order camp.
Fortunately, Zela was finally dismantled into a piece of broken toys by Illidan's "I can't help my fate", and after death, he was used by the prophet Velen to become a part of the void furnace...
The long journey finally came one day. When the arcane calendar that Aurelia carried with her reached the 95th day of her voyage, there was a shout of joy from the watchtower of the foremast.
"Captain! We have seen land, it should be the island you mentioned!"
The lookout's loud voice spread throughout the ship almost instantly. Charlemagne, who was writing the sailing diary in the cabin, also heard the call, and hurried out of the cabin together with Aurelia, who was taking a nap.
When the two came to the foredeck, the sailors who were not assigned to work, the captain Corey, and the first mate Mancini had already arrived here, and Corey was already observing the distance with a long tube telescope.
At this time, Corey has completely lost his previous drunken appearance. Wearing the hat representing the captain, he revealed a capable temperament. In the past three months, with the assistance of the first officer, he managed the sailors. Organized.
First Officer Mancini is Corey's friend for many years. He originally worked as a navigator on another merchant ship. After being called by Corey, he immediately resigned from his original job and came to help.
Mancini is very strict in his work, especially good at management and overall planning, and he is able to restrain the sailors.
You must know that these sailors who live at sea all the year round are not like soldiers who say that they are one-on-one. Stealing, cheating, and disobedience are commonplace for them. It is very important for every captain to find a balance between sugar and whip. is a puzzle.
Charlemagne was relieved to have such two capable employees who were in charge of running the business. It seemed that the deposit and rent paid for the charter should be earned back quickly. After earning enough money, he simply paid for the ship Just buy the boat.
"That's right, the front is the area called Azsuna by the locals, but there are too many beaches and reefs here that are not suitable for docking. Let's continue north along the coastline."
After observing with the telescope, Corey issued new instructions, and the helmsman adjusted the course with the assistance of the surveyor, and continued to head north to the Suramar area.
Three days later, the ship finally docked at the south coast of Suramar. After entering the sea area of Suramar, it was easy to see the extremely conspicuous huge purple magic barrier in the distance.
Cory stood on the side railing and looked at the lush forest in the distance with some emotion.
"I was rescued by the locals near here, and I don't know if those benefactors are still alive."
Corey shook his head with a heavy expression, "Of course ordinary people are like this, but the aborigines here are rather strange. They seem to have some kind of disease. Once they can't absorb the magic power, they will gradually become crazy and eventually lose themselves. This is the same as death." It makes no difference."
Charlemagne's expression changed, just at this moment, Alleria also gently tugged at the corner of his clothes, and the two looked at each other and then nodded tacitly.
'The Nightfallen and the Withered...'
In the period when Suramar's enchantment is still intact, the entire huge enchantment can go out but cannot enter. These exiled night children will gradually degenerate into nightfallen elves because they don't get enough magic power, and finally become similar to lost. The withered of the heart.
Cory didn't plan to stay for long after docking. After putting Charlemagne and Aurelia down, he planned to continue heading towards Northrend.
"Cory, don't you plan to find your original benefactor?"
"No...I'm afraid, just like what they said at the time, they will gradually lose themselves after I leave."
"But boss, if you meet an aborigine named Fanke, please help send my thanks and blessings."
Before leaving, Corey handed over a night saber wood carving that was obviously in the style of night elves to Charlemagne, hoping that this handicraft produced in Suramar would play a positive role in his contact with the locals.
Appointed to meet at this place a year later, Corey immediately ordered to set sail again, and then they will break the ice all the way to the Howling Fjord with a ship full of supplies.
Charlemagne and Aurelia were still a little uncomfortable when they set foot on the land they had been away for three months. They were used to the rickety life on the boat, which made them feel a little discordant after they set foot on the ground. Even Dudu and Xun Yu walks crookedly.
The two of them simply took the chocobo to camp on the coast to rest that day. They just took this opportunity to conduct a preliminary exploration around and learn about the ecological environment of the Suramar area.
After all, they will be operating in the Broken Isles for a long time. After arriving in a new place, it is a compulsory course for a ranger to first understand the local situation. Food and water issues must also be ensured.
After observation and comparison, Charlemagne basically determined that the coast they landed on is near the Evil Soul Fortress of later generations.
However, the Burning Legion has not yet descended again. It is still a dense jungle, and the local animals are also very diverse.
The two even found a small lake on a high ground a little far away, and then at Aurelia's suggestion, they moved the camp to a hillside not far from the small lake.
"It seems that this is the west of Suramar City. If my memory is not wrong, there should be a small river that nourishes the entire Suramar area to the north. I think the nightfallen elves who were exiled should gather there. Live near a river."
Charlemagne began to draw the place they walked on a piece of parchment after determining their location, and Alleria also told her lover some details that she had written down so that he could make a simple map.
However, the real first contact with the local aborigines was far faster than the two expected.
When Charlemagne and Aurelia were roasting rabbits by the bonfire that night, a skinny figure with faint purple light in his eyes had already quietly touched the two elves near their camp, quietly observing the two never-before-seen elves. .
Thanks to the book friend "Xing Yuqiang" for his reward and support.
