Chapter 12 - Fog Veil Plank Road
…………
Sylvanas is not used to the slow speed of the dragon turtle, but she has to admit that this shell-carrying mount is much more stable than a road bird.
"The slope over there is the fog-sha plank road." Zhou Zhuo pointed ahead. "We can reach Kunlai Mountain by passing through the cave inside."
Intuition told Sylvanas that things were not that simple. She couldn't wait to see Nathanos.
"Is there no avenue? That looks like a shortcut." asked the female elf.
"The Misty Plank Road is a mysterious area of Pandaria. It is located between the Emerald Forest, the Four Wind Valley and the Jinxiu Valley. The Plank Road starts from the Hundred-level Trail of the Four Wind Valley Grass Sea, and is connected to Kunlai Mountain through well-connected caves. It is the only road leading to Kunlai Mountain."
Zhou Zhuo's explanation was that they had no choice. Sylvanas sighed, it was a shortcut and a tunnel, and he always felt that something unexpected would happen in the middle.
When they climbed the higher slope, they heard a lively sound on the mountain. Sylvanas was about to ask Zhou Zhuo what was going on, but the panda man had already driven his dragon turtle to the front.
"If we don't mind, we can stay for a while." He said with a smile.
General Ranger's snow-white eyebrows frowned. "What?"
The three words "unhappy" have been written on her face.
"It's okay, it's just a while, a little while."
Zhou Zhuo ignored Sylvanas's reaction and couldn't wait to arrive at his destination as soon as possible.
At first, the female elf thought he had discovered some famous places and historical sites, but the closer he got, the mellow fragrance in the air instantly made her understand everything.
"It's wine!" Sylvanas said fiercely, then glared at Zhou Zhuo's back.
There is indeed a tavern at the end of the Hundred-Step Trail on the Mishi Plank Road, next to two paths.
Without Zhou Zhuo's help, Sylvanas could not find Nathanos's place, so she could only wait patiently for the Panda Man, hoping that his belly would be filled with wine quickly.
"You can't miss the wine from the Misty Winehouse when you come to the Misty Plank Road."
She followed Zhou Zhuo into the tavern and could see that the pandas and dwarves were very similar in style, and they both regarded such places as places to vent their emotions.
"Tong Fu, give me two large cups of fine wine from Four Wind Valley."
Zhou Zhuo was talking to the tavern owner.
The entire mist diner left two deeper impressions of Sylvanas: there is only Tong Fu, the manager here, who takes into account the role of the boss, bartender, and waiter. Secondly, what Sylvanas is most vigilant about is that there are two figures in the tavern that should not appear, or that should not appear at the same time - a female orc and a female human. They have been staring at each other since Sylvanas walked into the tavern. Moreover, their expressions were exactly the same, both of them looked angry.
Zhou Zhuo was waiting for his wine. Sylvanas walked to him calmly and knocked on the bar twice.
"What do you need?" Tong Fu asked naturally, obviously not so surprised by his unconventional face.
"Who are those two over there?" Sylvanas asked whispered. Tong Fu did not answer, but just smiled and continued to prepare wine from the Four Wind Valley for Zhou Zhuo.
Just as Sylvanas was becoming more and more curious about the women of the two mortal rival races, a voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Oh? A distinguished guest is here?"
She saw a dark-skinned human. The other party was wearing extremely loose trousers and long coats. The turban on his head made him look very unique.
"Who are you?" Sylvanas asked, feeling a little confused in her heart. She couldn't tell the smell of this human.
"You can call me Rashio, Ms. Sylvanas. Of course, you must have never heard of me, but I have long been familiar with your deeds."
"Is that so? I'm curious about your true identity. Are you... really human?" Sylvanas asked.
There were so many strange things: the man's outfit and the two women, when Rachio appeared, they stood up immediately, holding a crossbow in their hands.
"I have a sharp intuition, General Ranger. But compared to my identity, how about we have a drink and make friends?"
"I don't drink, nor am I a socialite."
"What a pity." Rahio showed a regretful expression, but in the eyes of the female elf, there was a humorous element between his eyebrows. Rahio walked to the other side of Zhou Zhuo and said to Tong Fu: "A good wine of storm wine."
The atmosphere slowly fell into silence, and only Zhou Zhuo swallowed the wine in his throat. The comfort and freedom of the scholar-in-law could not stop Sylvanas from gradually becoming nervous. Although Rashio was just drinking, it gave her an invisible pressure, as if something was stepping on her.
"Thanks."
After two large cups of Sifeng Valley wine were drunk, Zhou Zhuo burped with satisfaction. The female elf thought it was finally over.
As soon as she walked out of the foggy winery, the pressure disappeared instantly. She just wanted to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
"How long will it take for us?"
"It's almost half a day's journey."
...
Rachio looked at the wine that was still bubbling in the wooden cup, and his meditation alone made people wonder whether he was looking at his own reflection or savoring the smell of the wine.
Not long after, another blood elf assassin wrapped in a face came to the mist wine shop.
"Your Highness, Prince." This man was blocked by Rachio's guards on the left and right sides of the road.
"How is the situation?" asked the Black Prince. At this time, the tavern owner Tong Fu had already gone out.
"They entered the tunnel to Kunlai Mountain. If nothing unexpected happens, they should be going to Baihu Temple."
A smile was outlined on Rachio's face. "It happened that Nathanos was taken to White Tiger Temple by Xueqi. Very good." He said, "You keep staring at them and report any situation at any time."
The blood elf assassin slowly retreated with his head down.
The winery fell into complete silence.
It took a long time before Rachio's voice broke the tranquil atmosphere.
"The Burning Legion?"
No one doesn't know about this name. Rashio likes his left and right guards' reaction when they hear this name.
The human city of Dalaran was instantly destroyed by the demons. The orcs were also enslaved by the demons.
"If the Burning Legion is back at this time, do you think Azeroth can stop it?"
The first person to speak was the female orc: "The historical experience is that the alliance and the tribe must unite to win, the prince. It turns out that neither side can face the legion alone."
The woman continued: "But at the moment, they cannot unite."
