Chapter Thirty-Nine - Patrol the Runestones

…………

Wenleza quickly walked into the Tower of Sun Rage and was having lunch when she came to Aurelia.

"I'm sorry to disturb you, sister. But this news will definitely make you happy."

Before the Ranger could tell the news, the Regent wiped his mouth and asked, "The Alliance has agreed to cooperate."

"Yes." Wenleza saw an excited smile on Aurelia's face, just like her. "It was Varian who agreed in person, and he sent Jaina to negotiate with us."

"I am grateful to Ms. Theramore, who almost destroyed her city, and she was still willing to negotiate with us." Aurelia hurriedly ended her rest time and quickly put the cloak hanging on the hanger on her body. "I informed Leah Delin and set off immediately and couldn't wait any longer."

"Are you too anxious? Maybe it's best to leave at night." Wenleza saw some cheese and bread on the table, worried that Aurelia was not full.

"No, the faster this matter is, the better." The Regent took Sasdora in his hand. The long-lost feeling made her feel comfortable. "By the way, we cannot forget that this operation was to deal with the King of Thunder and Lightning, but we don't know them. Contact Shiva immediately and ask her to send a reliable person to contact the Shadow Sect, inquire about the Emperor of the Demon Clan, and then go to Thunder Island to meet me."

Wen Leisa nodded. "I'll do it now."

Just as she was about to leave, Aurelia thought about it for a while and called her again.

"etc."

Ranger General turned around.

"To be safe, I think before I meet Jaina and I, I will send a representative to contact each other and act honestly to avoid conflicts at that time."

"I understand, Regent."

...

You have to stay and learn to take care of this kingdom.

Belorel remembered his mother's instructions when she left Quel'thalas. Although he wanted to follow Aurelia to Pandaria, it was very dangerous to go to the front line, especially the ruler and the crown prince went to the battlefield together.

One must be left.

This is almost a matter of no choice. Aurelia will never push her son to the battlefield and stay behind to watch the show.

"Auntie, when will my mother be back?" Belloril asked while oiling the bread.

In fact, your mother had just left for a few days. Wen Leisa smiled but said nothing, and was still as usual, comforting him and saying, "Be patient."

"When my mother left, she just told me to take care of Quel'thalas, but she didn't tell me exactly what to do. I think it's impossible to just let me not waste my studies." Bellorell shook his head, then looked at Wenleza, hoping that she could give herself some advice.

General Ranger laughed, "It seems that the little guys from the Wind Walker family have grown up and have started to speak in an adult tone."

Bellorel blushed and lowered his head with a complaining look.

It was obvious that he was a little dissatisfied, Wen Lesa thought about it carefully. His sister did see Belorel too hard and took good care of him. It was not to say that Belorel was forbidden from doing anything? But every time this little guy left her sight, there must be a team of elite guards behind him.

Since he wants to prove himself so much, why not give him a test now?

"Belorel? I happen to have a task to hand over to you."

The elf boy suddenly looked up and cast a curious look at the Ranger General, but soon his eyes dimmed. I guess what boring job is it? A bunch of people followed him.

Wenleza knew what he was thinking? So she emphasized: "This is a very important task. Once the Regent leaves, Quelthalas will enter a short period of power vacuum. There may be problems in the kingdom's security. There are soldiers guarding Silver Moon City and various village strongholds, so there is no need to worry about it. But other places are different. The ghost land may still hide threats, and the three rune stones on that territory are particularly important."

Bellorel became serious and nodded. Quel'thalas was invaded twice, the old tribe and the Scourge? They both tampered with the runestones in the forest. Each time, Quel'thalas paid a huge price.

"Do you want me to check the rune stone?"

General Ranger's lips raised? "Will you accept this task?"

"Of course." Belloriel took on the errand without thinking. "It's much more fun than staying in Silver Moon City."

Wen Leisa frowned in dissatisfaction. "Little devil? Be more serious. This is not a joke. The ghost land is full of undead and dangerous beasts."

As soon as he heard the danger, Bellorel suddenly became worried. "Auntie, the person who went with me this time..."

"I will send two teams of rangers to follow you? Make sure you are safe."

There are at least six or seven members in the first team of Rangers, and now there are two teams. With so many people following, Bellorier feels that this time it is someone else's work and he is watching the situation.

"Auntie, I..."

"No negotiation is needed." Wen Leisa vetoed.

The elf boy felt helpless.

...

The locations of the three rune stones are all in the Ghost Land. On the road, what Belorel didn't understand is that since the rune stone is so important, why not send heavy troops to guard it? Although from the map, the three rune stones were placed in the Moon Temple, the Sun Temple and the Golden Mist Village, forming a triangular defense. However, Belorel asked the Ranger Captain Vienna, who was traveling with him. Most of the main forces of the Sindore in the Ghost Land were concentrated in Taquelin, which means that only the Sun Temple, which is close to its geographical location, can be effectively protected by military protection.

"Your Highness, what are you thinking?" Vienna's gentle voice made Belorel turn around. It was hard for the elf boy to believe that a ranger's voice was so gentle.

"I was wondering where to go first?" Bellorell said evasion. Wenleza once commented on him, saying that he inherited his mother's appearance, but his personality was very similar to his father. He would never tell others if there was anything until he closed his eyes.

"We are almost at Qingfeng Village. We will enter the ghost land in another hour. Please make a decision early."

Belorel, who was riding on the robe, suddenly became nervous and showed a surprised expression at Vienna. Captain Ranger just smiled faintly at him.

Bellorell believed she had more experience and judgment than herself. It might be better if she had to decide where to go first...

The Wind Walker Boy immediately threw away this idea, and at this moment he understood the real purpose of Wenleza assigning him this task. General Ranger must have advised Captain Ranger before he set off and asked him to command the team.

Where should the first destination go? This question is also the first part of the test, and it came a little unexpectedly.

Bellorel calmed down a little and asked Vienna: "Do you have any opinions on Captain Ranger?"

I don’t know that Vienna knew he would ask this long ago, so she said, “Personally, we can choose to go to all three places first, it’s just a matter of the length of the journey.”

The length of the journey just happens to reflect the efficiency. The earlier they return to Yinyue City, the more successful the task will be.

Wienna's suggestions are not referenceable to Bellorell. Choose one of three, three fair choices, and he still needs to make the decision.

"Then go to Taquelin first, the Temple of the Sun is not far from there."

"I understand." Wienna nodded expressionlessly, and at the same time announced the decision of the Regent's Crown Prince loudly.

Bellorel was very surprised. No one in the team raised objections or complained. Even if he wanted to read something from the Rangers' faces, it would be impossible.

Without the judgment of others, it is difficult to distinguish whether the decisions made by oneself are right or wrong. Bellorell now feels the importance of consultants. Usually, there are always politicians around Aurelia, and he wonders why his mother doesn't drive them away. It is precisely because of the opposition that every decision of the leader can be repeatedly pondered, and the possibility of errors will be smaller.

Thinking of this, Bellorell also began to think about whether his decision should be improved. What he thought was that the location of the Temple of the Sun was closer to the south of Quel'thalas, and the strategic significance of Taquelin was also very important, so he should first inspect that area, and then decide to go to the Temple of the Moon or the Village of Golden Mist. But if you follow Vienna's ideas and judge from the long-term route, after entering the Ghostland, going to Taquelin first would undoubtedly waste some time.

There are pros and cons. Bellorell pondered that according to subjective factors, he certainly supported his ideas, but he could not ignore other suggestions. If there is no best of both worlds, he must give up between the two proposals. The prerequisite is that he has to find more reasons to prove that his decision is more favorable.

"By the way, after arriving in Taquelin, I want to hear the defense of the Ghostland." Belorel flashed with an inspiration, and couldn't help but feel that the problem that troubled him was solved. Since Taquelin is the most important stronghold in the Ghostland, he naturally understands the entire forest, with the Moon Temple and the Golden Mist Village among them. He can listen to the general situation first and then decide on the next step.

The elf boy breathed a sigh of relief, and he could still enjoy the hard-earned ease before the next question arose.

Taquelin was headed by Mrs. Olifilos, whose husband died in the battle against the Scourge. The person who led the Rangers to guard the place was the senior executive Marron, one of the few who survived the war.

Belorel's arrival was not noticed in advance. Taquelin's people were surprised and quickly prepared for the reception. Belorel said that he would not stay for too long. He and Orifelos and Marlen exchanged a few simple words, and then asked Fredigga, the supply officer here, to confirm that there was no problem with the supply of materials.

Less than twenty minutes later, Belorel embarked on the road to the Temple of the Sun, and also rejected Marlen's suggestion. The executive planned to send additional staff to protect him.

"I thought you would stay for a rest, Your Highness," said Vienna.

"I thought it would be the case, but I don't want to cause trouble here," said Bellorir. "The purpose of this trip is not to allow me to stay in Taquelin for a while."

The rune stone outside the Temple of the Sun is so huge that the symbols on it emit fluorescent light.

As Bellorell suspected at first, there was no guard around the rune stone.

"Wenna? Why aren't people sending guards here?" he asked. Since Captain Ranger was ordered to not give him guidance on the mission, it is still possible to popularize some information.

"Quelthalas' defense has long stopped relying on the magic barrier of runestones." Vienna explained.

"Why?"

"In the past, the barriers of rune stones were relied on the well of the sun to provide energy. Now the well of the sun is no longer the source of magic, and the rune stones cannot provide their original function, but are only placed here as a symbol."

Belorel raised his head, and he could feel the boulder falling into a sleepy state and needed magic to activate it. Vienna's explanation confirmed this.

"Then can't you find another source of magic?"

Captain Ranger shook his head. "No. This is the conclusion given by the great magician Romans. The magic energy required to activate the rune stone is already a lot, and it needs to be continuously provided. Quel Thalas cannot do it at all."

The two elves circled the rune stone for a whole circle. Bellorel stroked it again, and its surface was smooth and boundless, but there was a gap on the left.

"Is that the trace left by Gul'dan?"

"Yes, many years ago, Gul'dan of the old tribe snatched this rune stone to perform a ritual for the ogres. Although the rune stone was later found, it could not make up for the damage caused by the evil magic."

That long history was completely blank for Belloril, but he knew that his mother and father had worked hard to get the stone back. The boy closed his eyes, meditated for a while, and then ordered his trip to the Moon Temple.

The first rune stone was safe and sound, and Belloriel prayed that the next trip would go smoothly. But Vienna's words made him feel a little uneasy.

Only powerful magic energy is needed to make the boulder work. What should anyone do if he masters such power, steals the rune stone, and imitates Gul'dan of that time again?

It is better to be careful. Bellorier decided to discuss with Aunt Wenleza after going back.

On the other end of the Moon Temple, Belorel was able to arrive under the cover of the Ranger.

After inspecting the rune stones outside the Moon Temple, the last destination was Jinwu Village, which is also the closest stronghold to Yongge Forest.

"I heard that Jinwu Village was occupied by some resentful spirits and ghosts before."

"Yes." A trace of sadness flashed across Vienna's face. "Those souls were our fellow citizens. They were able to rest in peace after recovering the Golden Mist Village."

Bellor's heart tightened, and even the roaring bird under his crotch was a little uneasy. He touched the neck of his mount to comfort it, but it did not calm down. The elf boy realized that the situation was wrong. The animal's perception ability was very sharp, and there must be something else that scared him.
