"No?" Upon hearing her subordinate's report, Aurelia frowned, her face full of worry.
"Madam, what happened?" Little Abidis asked, seeing the doubt on Aurelia's face.
“Child, have you seen any of us elves in this troll camp?” Alleria asked.
“I’m sorry, but apart from those few human prisoners, I haven’t seen any of your companions!” Little Abidis shook his head with a serious expression.
"Ah, perhaps this is fate!" A trace of sadness flashed across Aurellia's face as he sighed.
"General, perhaps Vereesa wasn't kidnapped by the trolls... We can keep searching!" the ranger beside him comforted him.
Just then, a whistle rang out.
"What happened?" Oreria immediately recovered from her grief and stood up warily to ask.
"General, it's a large human force. Judging from their destination, they should also be heading towards this troll tribe camp!" a ranger sentinel immediately replied.
"What day is it today? Is this troll tribe camp that important? Or... do you two brats have some special status?" Alleria was a little stunned when she heard her subordinates' answer, and then looked at Abidis and Mograine and asked.
"It must be reinforcements that Tirion called!" Faced with Alleria's question, the two mischievous children could only reveal their identities and exclaimed with delight.
Upon hearing the identities of the three mischievous children, Alleria suddenly realized why. Aside from Abidis, Tirion and Mograine were the most distinguished and powerful scions of the human kingdoms, second only to the royal family. It was no wonder that the humans had gone to such lengths when this happened.
So, accompanied by Aurelia, the two mischievous children went together to prepare to welcome their good friend.
"Not good!" Mograine, who had been groping Alleria's hand, immediately turned and ran away after seeing the face of the human general leading the group.
The human general was no slouch either. He spurred his horse and charged toward the fleeing child, scooping him up just before passing Mograine. Then, his large hand, clad in heavy chainmail gloves, slapped the brat's bottom.
The child was beaten until he screamed in agony.
They were wearing chainmail gloves when they fought that. It's only because humans from Azeroth are physically stronger that they could do that. If it were a human child from Earth, they would probably be half dead.
Even so, it can be said that the perpetrator was extremely ruthless.
Alleria frowned as she watched... The elven race has a very low reproduction rate, so they rarely hit their children, let alone hit them so hard.
Even though she couldn't stand it, she didn't stop it; she even stopped her subordinates who tried to stop her.
Because she knew this general, the current head of the Mograine family, the great lord of Northvale, and also the highest-ranking general in the northeastern region of the Kingdom of Lordaeron.
To put it simply, this is Mograine's father, so this beating is perfectly justified.
And just look at those human soldiers gazing up at the sky, and you'll know that these are just family matters, and there's no way to interfere.
As for Abidis and Fording, watching their friend get beaten up, they were also terrified... Would they get the same treatment later?
"I'm sorry, General Windrunner, my son has caused you trouble!" After beating up his own brat, old Mograine greeted Alleria with a bit of a smug look on his face.
As guardians of their respective kingdoms' borders, the two were already old acquaintances.
And don't let Alleria's youthful appearance fool you; due to the lifespan of elves, in terms of age and seniority, she far surpasses Old Mograine. She was already famous in the middle of the Troll Wars, which is several hundred years ago.
So when facing this wandering general, old Mograine didn't dare to put on airs at all.
"It's alright. It's our responsibility to clear out the trolls harassing the kingdom's borders, and as long as everyone is safe, that's all that matters!" Alleria said nonchalantly. "Besides, we didn't do much in this matter."
He then relayed Abidis's words.
Upon hearing what Alleria said, Old Mograine looked at Little Abidis with great surprise. Had the engineering skills of dwarves become so formidable?
However, the current human kingdoms do not have a deep relationship with the dwarf race. The two sides became familiar with each other and formed an alliance only after the orc invasion.
After all, Gnomeregan was located underground in the remote mountains, and apart from the dwarves, the other kingdoms at this time did not have a deep understanding of gnomes, and the various advanced technologies of gnomes were far from being valued by the other races.
However, if the dwarves' engineering technology has truly advanced to this level, then perhaps the kingdom should pay more attention to it.
Old Mograine looked at young Abidis thoughtfully.
That deep gaze sent chills down little Abidis's spine.
After all, the way that bearded man beat up his friend was just too fierce, and little Abidis felt that his young mind had been severely hurt.
After Old Mograine and Alleria had a discussion and exchanged some information about the trolls, they parted ways. After all, given their positions, they were both very busy, and since the matter was resolved, there was no need to waste too much time here.
The three mischievous children were naturally brought back by old Mograine, and after arriving at Northvale Fortress, the three children were separated and strictly supervised.
Mograine, in particular, was beaten so badly that he was paralyzed on one side and is said to be confined to his bed, cared for by the army chaplain.
Tirion's situation isn't much better; I've heard that Lord Tirion Fordring is already on his way.
In other words, Little Abidis, because of his status as a robot and the fact that he has no family in the North, actually received the best treatment among them.
Taking advantage of this time alone, Abidis reconnected with Josie.
"Is the matter resolved?" Josie asked after glancing at the surroundings of little Abidis.
"Yes, it's all resolved, everyone's fine... By the way, Josie, do you want an elf? They're really pretty high elves!" Little Abidis chuckled.
Chapter 249 The Elves Are Eternal...
"Elves? Where did you get elves from?...Wait, what about that troll tribe from earlier?" Josie asked in surprise.
"Hehe, yes, we just wiped out that troll tribe. Besides capturing a few special trolls, we also found some humans and high elves who had been captured by the trolls. I released all the humans, and only the elves are left... I think you'll be interested!" Little Abisti chuckled.
“…I am indeed quite interested, but are you sure there won’t be any trouble?” Josie asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Absolutely not. The humans and high elves captured by the trolls were captured at different times and imprisoned separately. They had no idea of each other’s existence. And those trolls who deserved to die are all dead. Even those who didn’t die have been put into the warehouse by me… So there is absolutely no way the news could have leaked out!” Little Abidis said with great confidence.
"That's good. Let's trade them all over and use it to offset the cost of the mechanical legion... Hmm, one high elf for two robots!" Josie nodded in relief. Anyway, even if something went wrong, the trouble would be with this brat, so why should she worry?
He was indeed quite interested in the high elves, which could somewhat make up for the loss of so many robot legions he had traded to this kid.
Although he and this kid had a good relationship, business is business, and Josie couldn't just give away a large army of robots for nothing!
"Huh? So little? Those are elves! Do you know how much a high elf slave is worth on the black market?" Little Abidis became anxious when he heard that Josie was only willing to offer a price of one elf and two robots. "One of them might even be the sister of General Alleria Windrunner from Quel'Thalas!"
Although Quel'Thalas and the human kingdoms are allies, and Quel'Thalas holds a higher position in the alliance, it does not mean that humans will not target the high elves.
After all, it's a medieval fantasy world with magic and other wondrous powers, and there are always some nobles or mages with peculiar tastes. Coupled with their power, even though obtaining high elves is extremely difficult, it's not impossible.
With their elven bodies, they could easily be turned into private treasures with just a little bit of magic-suppressing measures.
Of course, just like in other worlds, this kind of thing belongs to the deep, dark side, and ordinary people cannot come into contact with it.
Basically, once discovered, the entire family of the person involved will suffer.
Back in the capital, Little Abidis learned by chance that such a thing existed among some of the kingdom's high-ranking nobles.
This is why he thought of hiding the existence of these elves when he was in the troll camp.
"Wait, what did you say? Ranger General Alleria's sister? Sylvanas or Vereesa?" Josie's eyes widened upon hearing Abidis's words.
This kid is really out of control! He even dares to mess with the Windrunners?
I just don't know which sister he got involved with.
Vereesa is alright... but if it were Sylvanas—oops!!!
"Huh? You know that? But it should be Vereesa, because when we met General Aurelia before, they were looking for this Vereesa. So I'm just guessing. You'll probably have to verify it yourself!" So Little Abidis relayed to Josie the situation of meeting Aurelia before, as well as the conversation between Aurelia and her subordinates that he had heard.
"I see, Vereesa... I must say, you really gave me a huge surprise!" Although it's a little disappointing that it wasn't Sylvanas, Vereesa is still pretty good. I just wonder what kind of impact it will have on Azeroth if it really is Vereesa and the third sister of the Windrunner family is gone.
Despite Vereesa's limited screen time in the game, her importance in the relevant chronicles is in no way inferior to that of her two older sisters.
Without her, Luo Ning, the most unlucky chosen one, would probably have died countless times already, without even having to wait until he was hit by the Focusing Rainbow.
“Trade those elves over. If there’s really a Vereesa Windrunner among them, I can give you 100 robots as a discount! As for the rest of the elves, we’ll do a 1:3 ratio!” Josie said after thinking for a moment.
"Ah... only a hundred?" Little Abidis continued to shout.
"If you don't want to, then forget it, this deal is off!" Josie said immediately upon seeing this.
"No, no, no, I'll trade. There are six elves in total, one male and five females. I'll trade each of the other five for three robots, plus 100 for Wenlesa. That'll be a total of 115 robots. Is that okay?" Little Abidis had no choice but to agree to Josie's request.
However, his mind was already racing. There were hundreds of thousands of elves in Quel'Thalas... If he had the chance when he grew up...
“By the way, Josie, besides the elves, I also caught some trolls. Do you want them? There are quite a few witch doctors, sorcerers, and even a Loa priest among them. He's the one who killed dozens of robots!” Little Abidis asked again.
“Oh? That’s quite interesting. And trolls have regenerative abilities, so we can study them. Give them all to me! Warriors 1 to 1, spellcasters 1 to 2, and the priest you mentioned, count as five!” Josie quickly gave a ratio.
"Alright!" Little Abidis readily agreed. In the eyes of the humans of Azeroth, the lives of trolls were worthless, and Josie's offer of such a price was already quite generous.
Little Abidis quickly traded all the trolls and elves.
There were six elves and more than thirty trolls.
However, compared to the ugly trolls, Josie's attention was naturally more focused on the beautiful elves.
Ignoring the male high elf, the remaining five female elves were all beautiful and charming, and much prettier than the blood elves in the game.
Because the High Elves and the future Blood Elves share the same lineage, some people often confuse them. However, the difference arose after Kael'thas renamed the elves Blood Elves and followed Illidan.
The reason for this lies in addiction.
Illidan taught the blood elves to alleviate their mana addiction by absorbing mana energy. This caused the blood elves' skin to be affected by mana energy, turning slightly reddish. The deeper the mana energy, the darker the color.
Conversely, high elves who have not absorbed magical energy have very fair skin.
Since the calamity of Quel'Sara has not yet occurred, all the high elves still have very fair skin, which is much more attractive than red.
However, at this point, Josie couldn't help but frown.
If you were to "adopt" these elves, magic addiction would indeed be a very troublesome matter.
