"Cough cough... cough"
Anduin was coughing hard. He wondered if he had had bad luck recently, or if someone Mysterious Will was controlling all of this. In short, he had been having bad luck recently.
However, there is always good luck after bad luck. For example, right now, Little Prince is sitting in a warm room wrapped in sheets. On the exquisite wooden table in front of him, there are two dishes, one meat and one vegetarian, as well as two bowls of fragrant rice., this special food is quite common in Kalimdor, there is Seeds in Druid, but it is rarer in Eastern Kingdoms.
Anduin had some difficulty using the special tableware known as "chopsticks". Thanks to the period of traveling with Li Li and Chen Stormstout, he barely learned how to use this kind of tableware that requires extremely high finger skills. Little Prince once thought that this thing was used by Pandaren and Rogue to practice their finger dexterity.
He put a piece of perfectly fried lamb into his mouth and chewed it twice. The delicious smell almost penetrated his taste buds. It was even more delicious than the beggar's chicken made by Chen Stormstout. It was unimaginable that these chubby Pandaren had reached such an astonishing level in terms of dietary attainments.
Little Prince heard Mentor Dick say it more than once, but in terms of food, the whole Civilized World looked like Barbarian to Pandaren. Now it seemed that he had to admit that Mentor was right.
While Anduin was eating, a chubby Pandaren sitting opposite him had been observing the "outsider" who was rescued by Podong Village's fishermen.
It has been forty years since Lorewalker Cho became the glorious Lorewalkers. He was sent to Lorewalkers's school when he was a child to learn how to deal with ordinary Pandaren's extremely obscure historical knowledge, and later he used his own feet to cover the entire Pandaria. He went to the sacred Kun-Lai Summit and hiked up the mountain to see Holy Spirit. Xuen, I have also been to Krasarang Wilds, I devoted myself to studying the lost history of Mogu at Temple of the Red Crane, I even walked around the Great Wall, and even went to Townlong Steppes and Dread Wastes, which are undoubtedly more ordinary than Hell, and finally returned to my hometown.
When Lorewalker Cho returned, he was even received by the elders of Tian Monastery, which was a rare honor. After that, Lorewalker Cho seemed to live a leisurely retirement life, but in his heart he had been longing for adventure, but Pandaria is too small for one Lorewalkers. Lorewalker Cho has stood on the highest point of Jade Forest and on the edge of Seaview and Sound of the Waves Forest countless times, watching the sunset and sunrise, imagining what kind of world and scene is outside Mists.
He once thought that he would be like his father and mother, born in Jade Forest and died in Jade Forest, but now, when Anduin and Li Li appear, Lorewalker Cho's heart, which had long been unmoved by everything, began to beat violently. He realized that he was only one step away from his dream. As long as he pushed away gently, he could enter another new world that he might never complete in his lifetime.
That was the dream of countless Lorewalkers, but... Lorewalker Cho found himself shamefully afraid. Only then did he re-examine everything around him. Jade Forest The scenery he thought he was tired of turned out to be still so beautiful.
Lorewalker Cho was thinking hard about whether he should... should ask this child about everything outside, but he had not yet made up his mind.
So his attention finally shifted to Anduin. This is a child who is both heroic and handsome. Even with Pandaren's critical eyes, Anduin can be regarded as a child. He is a handsome young man, but also has some childlike fear and curiosity. He should be from a famous family. Although Lorewalker Cho can't understand his etiquette, there is no doubt that from his dining posture, it can be seen that this child has received a very decent education since childhood.
He was very hungry, and his eyes reminded Lorewalker Cho of himself when he was lost in Townlong Steppes, but he was very restrained from this hunger and the temptation of delicious food. He used chopsticks with some difficulty and put the stir-fried mutton in his mouth bit by bit, and paired it with rice. He didn't seem to like eating vegetables, maybe it was because of his habits, but Lorewalker Cho felt that it was more likely because he didn't recognize the refreshing bitter melon in front of him.
"Haha, he is a child after all."
Lorewalker Cho thought this in his heart, so from this child, we can infer part of the outside world: they don't use chopsticks, so Pandaren should be rare, because Pandaren all use chopsticks, their craftsmanship should be pretty good. This can be seen from the ring on Anduin's finger and Longsword that he always carries behind his back.
They are very martial, use a unique magic system to fight, and have the ability to travel to and from the deep sea. Pandaria is sealed in the deep sea, and every Pandaren knows this.
Moreover, they should use a completely different language from Pandaren. This can be seen from the sleep talk Anduin said before he woke up. Also, their society should still be in the monarchy, and the child in front of them should be a member of the ruling class.
Finally, there is their diet. Judging from the plate of fried mutton that has been completely eaten, Lorewalker Cho can be sure that their enjoyment, at least in terms of diet, is far worse than Pandaren.
In general, based on Lorewalkers's knowledge, Lorewalker Cho can easily deduce what Civilized World looks like. It is full of vitality and full of hundreds of tribes, but it also has the scourge of war.
A very suitable place for study tour, Lorewalker Cho's heart beat violently again.
He thought for a while, then stretched out his hand to offer Anduin a cup of fragrant tea. This time, Anduin, who had eaten his fill, did not refuse. Instead, he accepted the cup of fragrant tea with a King attitude. However, just as he was smelling the aroma of the tea, Lorewalker Cho spoke.
Very pure...Thalassian.
"Where are you from, child?"
Anduin was shocked, but quickly realized that as a member of the Royal Family, Thalassian was not a required course, but at this time Anduin was very lucky to have an old-fashioned history teacher, Dr. Harrison, from whom he learned the complete Thalassian grammar. Although it was a bit difficult, listening and speaking were no problem.
So he thought for a while and decided to tell the truth. These Pandaren are definitely the same race as Chen Stormstout, so it is conceivable that until now, Anduin thought he had arrived at the hometown of Wandering Isle and Li Li.
"Dear Pandaren elder, I come from Kingdom of Stormwind of Eastern Kingdoms. I am one of the... well, a noble. When the ship I was traveling on returned from Theramore to Eastern Kingdoms, I encountered Storm and came to Wandering Isle by accident. Thank you for your rescue and hospitality. In addition, how are some of my friends? Li Li is a local, you should know her!"
Anduin's answer made Lorewalker Cho stunned for a moment, and he asked back,
"They are fine and still resting. It may take half a day to wake up, but Wandering Isle? No, we are not Wandering Isle, child. The Pandaren child named Li Li, Podong Village, no one knows her either."
"Not Wandering Isle?"
Anduin was also surprised, he shouted, "But Li Li told me that only Wandering Isle has Pandaren!... Wait a minute, you guys, this is Pandaria, right? Pandaren's former hometown! Right?"
Now it was Lorewalker Cho's turn to be surprised. The middle-aged Pandaren stood up from his chair in a flash.
"It's unbelievable! You actually know about Pandaria. Are there any legends spreading in this continent?"
Anduin is a good boy, he said,
"It does not exist in Human World and the alien world. It is said that only Pandaren of Wandering Isle has this legend. However, I heard from Swen that some seniors in Night Elf also said something about Pandaren, but there is very little historical information passed down."
Lorewalker Cho walked a few steps in place. His special Lorewalkers robe made Anduin very curious. It was like a book hanging on his body, filled with all kinds of elegant words. Symbols and Chen Stormstout are also good at handwriting, but Li Li's handwriting is much worse. Chen Stormstout often says that she writes like a dog crawling.
Thinking of Chen Stormstout, Anduin, I couldn't help but think of my father and Mentor. It was at least the third day since I disappeared. How worried should they be?
Thinking about it, Anduin's mood became depressed. Lorewalker Cho felt this keenly. He clapped his hands and said kindly,
"Here, little one, let me show you something."
Anduin didn't want to move very much, but the Lorewalkers in front of him was too enthusiastic, so he followed him and walked out of the room.
To be honest, Little Prince has never observed the place where he lives, but when Lorewalker Cho really opened the door, the fresh breath of life rushed to his face, the birds were singing Floral Fragrance, elegance Cloud Serpent was playing with a huge spotted-skinned tiger. When Anduin came out, a snake-like red creature flew from the sky into front of Anduin, startling him.
It was a cute creature that was only as long as an arm. It had four Claws like eagles, a snake's body, fish scales, a horse's head, an elk's antlers, Lion's mane, cow's ears and big eyes like a rabbit. Eyes, these completely different features come together to make this little creature beautiful and noble. It flies in the air as if swimming in water, quickly circling around Anduin, looking at this new guest curiously with its two eyes.
Anduin thought it was so funny, and reached out to tap his head. As a result, this action made the creature very angry. It opened its small mouth and roared at Anduin. At this moment, a huge sound seemed to explode in Anduin's mind. Little Prince shook his head and sat on the ground, his eyes blank.
"Okay, Mishi, don't scare him! He's a good kid, just like you."
Lorewalker Cho came over with a small basin in his hand. Lorewalkers was already used to this situation. He stretched out his fingers and gently rubbed the back of Anduin's neck a few times. Little Prince quickly recovered. He looked at Lorewalker Cho and pointed at Mishi.
"What is that? Lorewalkers."
"Oh, that's Mishi, my partner, come on, Mishi."
Lorewalker Cho stretched out his hand, and the little red thing rushed over quickly. Lorewalker Cho was injured and tangled up in a ball, then lay on the palm of his hand and began to rest.
Lorewalkers patted Mishi on the head lovingly, and then said to Little Prince,
"Mishi is a young Cloud Serpent, which will soon reach maturity. Each Lorewalkers master has his own partner, some are White Tiger, some are Chi-Ji, and some are Black Ox. I When I met Lord Jade Serpent, I met Mishi. He was willing to be my partner. He has been accompanying me and protecting me for these decades. After I die, he will go back to Cloud Serpent Island, which is his real home. I am just a scenery in his long life."
Anduin looked at Tranquility and Lorewalker Cho, a little lost. He couldn't help but ask,
"Lorewalkers, why do you view death so peacefully? Isn't that a terrible thing?"
Lorewalker Cho looked at Anduin, shook his head with a smile, reached out and gave him his small basin,
"Come on, help me feed my Cloud Serpent. This is a rare opportunity. These proud creatures never pay attention to people with impure hearts. In our legend, after death, the soul will ride Cloud Serpent to a happier world. Of course, some wise people say that life and death are just reincarnations. Everything we do in this life is not important to this world."
Anduin Pick up the birdseed, Walking to the edge of the garden, he imitated Lorewalker Cho and opened his palms. Those Cloud Serpent ignored him at first, but after Lorewalker Cho took back their hands, they finally approached Anduin and began to use their long Beak pecked the bird food in Anduin's hand. Little Prince originally thought it would be very painful, but in the end, he found out that it was fun. Cloud Serpent was very smart. They knew how hard they should use to eat without hurting the stranger.
But Little Prince still has many problems, especially those that Lorewalker Cho just said. He looked at Lorewalker Cho who looked indifferent,
"Then wouldn't our lives be meaningless?"
In the low sun, Lorewalker Cho was bathed in the glory of the setting sun. He breathed a sigh of relief, put his hand on the top of Anduin's head, and looked at him,
"No, kid, just because everything we do is not important to the world, we have to find ways to make ourselves important. After all, you only have one life. You have to live a more exciting life to be worthy of your life."
After saying that, Lorewalkers magically took out a teapot and two teacups from the table next to him, with a curious smile on his face.
"So come on, kids, tell me about your world."
