560【The troubles of happiness】
——"You... still know about coming back?"
——"You made me wait for 1 years... In these 1 years, you appeared in front of me no more than five times..."
——"Angemar, do you know how rare it is for night elves to be pregnant?"
Standing in the western suburbs with a wide view, my nose is filled with the fragrance of earth after rain.The conversation with Maiev Shadowsong in the underground prison of Felwood a few years ago also came to Angmar's mind again.
He made someone pregnant, then abandoned his wife and disappeared for 1 years, and never entered the house five times...
But the question is, where are the children?Where did the child go?
At that time, he felt that no matter what the reason was, there seemed to be no reason for his future self to do this, and the title of scumbag was firmly established.So, now I am on the road to becoming a scumbag?
He was amused by this idea, shook his head, turned around and returned to the courtyard along the way he came.Except for a group of maids, the small courtyard was empty and seemed particularly quiet.
The "Three Travelers" all have their own things to do.
Brox does not belong to this world, and is incompatible with the ancient era dominated by night elves.He has always been very withdrawn in a foreign land and rarely talks to others.Worried that his presence would affect others, he simply moved to the west to live by the forest.
After rejecting Angmar's offer to build a house for him, he only used some thick and cheap cloth to make a tent that was suitable for shelter. He trained every day in addition to training.Angmar knew that this old warrior had a fire burning in his heart, and everything he did was to kill demons in the coming war, interpret his own glory, and face a heroic death.
Crassus was still like that, knowing the direction of history but being unable to change the tragedy that would eventually come, which made him feel even more gloomy.Apart from occasionally helping Angmar and teaching his apprentices, there was nothing he could do here.
It looked like he should go for a walk in the forest again.
Among the three, Luo Ning undoubtedly suffered the heaviest psychological burden.Back in ancient times, his beloved wife Vereesa was pregnant. He was worried that he would not be able to catch up with the birth of his child, and he was even more worried about what danger would happen to his wife.In desperation, he had no choice but to settle down under Angmar's persuasion and read the night elves' magic books in his spare time to learn about the arcane ways of ancient times.No matter what, for a legendary mage like him who is thirsty for knowledge, this method still works.
As soon as he saw Angmar coming back, Vashj, who was waiting here, came up to him, saluted and said: "Sir, you are back."
It happened that Angmar also had something to ask her, and nodded: "Vashqi, help me go to the city to buy some small gifts, the kind for children. Toys, candies... anything will do, the more the better."
The Double Moon Festival is the most important festival. According to Angmar's previous understanding, this festival is equivalent to the combination of Chinese Valentine's Day, Spring Festival and other festivals. Night Elf relatives and lovers who celebrate the festival will interact with each other on this day. Send a Gift.
Since Maiev and I had made an appointment to go to the Morrowind Village Orphanage to spend the holidays together, we couldn't go empty-handed.He was relieved to leave this deeply troublesome task to Vasqi.
"A gift for the child? Yes, I will order someone to buy it right now..." Wasiqi thought for a moment and quickly agreed.Out of professionalism, she didn't ask anything she shouldn't, but her beautiful eyes still shone with confusion.
Seeing this, Angmar explained: "Tomorrow is the Double Moon Festival, and Ms. Maiev invited us to the Morrowind Village Orphanage to celebrate the festival with the children. We can't go empty-handed..."
Vashchi suddenly understood, and then with some embarrassment, he took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to Angmar.I saw that the envelope was made of very exquisite materials, with gorgeous gold inlays, and was sealed with high-quality lacquer and stamped with a royal seal that Azshara had used.
"But... while you were away, Her Majesty the Queen sent a messenger to invite you to spend time together..."
Before she finished speaking, Vashj suddenly stopped, turned her gaze behind Angmar, and saluted, "Miss Elisande."
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the unique magic wave that broke out of the invisibility spell came from behind, followed by the sound of cheerful footsteps. Someone took a few steps and hugged Angmar from behind. Behind him, A light peck on the neck.
"Guess what I prepared for you?"
In fact, there was no need to listen to the voice or Vashj's greeting. Angma knew who she was just by relying on the girl's unique body fragrance.
It's Elisande.Only this cheerful and lively girl would hide in the invisibility spell to launch a surprise attack and make such an intimate move - Vashj was already accustomed to this, because Elisande did not avoid her at all.
Angmar hid the faith in his clothes without leaving any trace, and asked expectantly: "What is it?"
Elisande walked around to him, showed the thing hidden in his hand to Angmar, and said happily: "Happy Double Moon Festival!"
Angmar looked at his gift carefully.
It is a small pendant. The pendant chain is made of rare precious metals and exudes a strong magical atmosphere. It must have been carefully enchanted to ensure its sturdiness.A crystal clear moon stone hangs from the lower end of the pendant chain.On the bottom of the moonstone, there is also a line of beautiful small characters engraved - Elisande, unwavering love.
Although the font is small, for the night elves' excellent eyesight, it is not difficult to see it clearly as long as they stand closer.
This... seems to be a nameplate used to declare sovereignty no matter how you look at it.But he still said with "full of joy": "Thank you, I like it very much."
"You know, we will give each other gifts on the Double Moon Festival. This tradition has been around for a long time..." the girl said as she put on the pendant for Angma with her own hands.
The pendant chain is just the right length and tight enough to fit the size of Angmar's neck, so it won't be obscured by the collar when worn.During this period, Elisande also noticed the "Salvation" he wore personally - the supreme artifact that he personally crafted and contained the origin of order and shadow - and then said: "It doesn't matter, the 'Salvation' is worn on Inside, the pendant is worn outside, just right..."
Angmar couldn't laugh or cry.
After completing all this, Elisande looked at him eagerly, with a look of expectation on his face, "Then... where is my gift?"
"you guess."
Angmar looked at her thoughtfully, but in fact he was not prepared for anything.If it weren't for Maiev, he wouldn't have known that the Double Moon Festival was coming.Even so, the face must show that everything is in order, "This is a surprise, you will know tomorrow..."
The girl smiled even more happily.
Angmar secretly thought about how to prepare an original gift in just half a day, and changed the subject: "Why are you back so early today? Didn't you go to the secret library to study the Eye of Aman'Thul? ?”
"Because of the Double Moon Festival, I've been so busy recently. If someone hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have been able to remember it..." Elisander said, "What are your plans for tomorrow? Celebrate the Double Moon Festival with me. OK?"
Thinking of the agreement with Maiev and the invitation in his arms, Angmar suddenly had a headache.
But before he spoke, the keen Elisande noticed something was wrong. He frowned and asked, "You have an appointment? With whom? Azshara?"
She looked at Vashchi, who had been trying his best to reduce his presence. Vashchi blinked innocently, indicating that he didn't know anything.
"Of course not," Angmar said with a normal expression, "Do you remember that not long ago we funded the orphanage under the Sisters of Elune."
"Remember." Elisande was puzzled.
Angmar gently held her shoulders and smiled: "The children are very grateful to us. Before you came back, Ms. Maiev, on behalf of the children of the Orphanage in Morrowind Village, invited me to spend the festival together there... You say, how can I let the children down? Don't worry, I won't be gone for too long. I promise to come back soon after giving the children gifts. The rest of the time is yours, okay? Or... Can you go with me?"
After saying these words, Angmar suddenly realized that his ability to lie was too strong.His face didn't turn red, his heart didn't beat, and he easily made up a complete lie - the guilt was another matter.
"So that's it..." Elisande put away the disappointment in her eyes and hugged him with understanding, "You really can't let those poor orphans down, so you go ahead. I think I'd better wait for you at home. It’s better, because I’m not very good at dealing with children. By the way, don’t forget to take me to say hello to Sister Maiev.”
Three years ago, after being rescued by Angmar from Zuldazar, it was the high priestess Maiev Shadowsong who helped her heal her psychological trauma, so she had a good impression of Maiev.
Angmar secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Okay, I will. What about today? I think otherwise, don't go back to Suramar, come with me."
"No, I'm going back," Elisande shook his head, "I haven't learned the 'Time Warp' you taught me last time. I'm just trying to understand this spell through the Eye of Aman'Thul."
Although time distortion is named after this, in fact it has nothing to do with the profound time. At best, it can only be regarded as a rough imitation and application of arcane magic in this field.However, it would be a good choice to educate Elisande, who has related talents, so Angmar taught her this spell very early.
"OK then."
"Come back early tomorrow, I'll wait for you..." Elisande waved to him reluctantly, and walked back towards Suramar City three times a step.
After watching her disappear from sight, Angmar relaxed. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, took out Azshara's autographed letter from his arms, opened it and read it.
Vashqi on the side smiled and said, "Sir, maybe this is the trouble of happiness."
"Trouble? The pain is not the same." Angmar sighed and raised the letter in his hand, summoning a ball of flame to burn it away. "Help me convey this to Azshara. I may have to... visit her later. ”
Azshara, Elisande, Maiev...
He felt more and more like he was dancing on the edge of a knife.But as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped, and his whole aura changed drastically, which shocked Vasqi.
An early warning spell deployed in Zin Aissalin's palace has been activated!
The strong spell fluctuations spanning thousands of kilometers impacted his mental space like a piercing scream.
This means that there is a being that is extremely powerful, so powerful that even he finds it difficult... is trying to pass through that portal and descend on Azeroth!
"No need, I'll just say it myself."
Angmar said with a cold expression, and then activated the teleportation spell, and went to Zin Aissalin in a sudden burst of lightning.Only Vashchi, who had not yet reacted, was left standing alone in the small courtyard at a loss.
