The next day, the ceremony in Cathedral of Light went on as usual, but this time there were a lot fewer people coming to watch. Even Varian didn't come, presumably to receive Lordaeron's messenger.
With Church of the Holy Light's influence in all human countries, no one would say anything if Varian asked the messenger to wait for a day because he had to attend Paladin's promotion ceremony. However, it would be inappropriate to make the messenger wait for too long. After all, as a king, Varian still has to prioritize state affairs.
As for Aaron and his group, Aaron originally thought that these people came to Stormwind City to watch the fun, but today, Aaron found that everyone had their own things to do.
Liadrin was asking Paladin, who had a lot of free time today, to teach her some fighting skills. How could that young Paladin withstand the soft words of a beautiful High Elf? She agreed with just a few words.
Falstad claimed that he wanted to see the Gryphon Riders stationed at Stormwind City by Aerie Peak. Previously, in order to monitor Dark Portal, Alliance who stood at Blasted Lands built a fortress named Nethergarde Keep near Dark Portal. As a member of the Alliance, Aerie Peak naturally sent a team of Gryphon Rider to act as sentries.
Later, Dark Portal was destroyed, and the defenders in Nethergarde Keep gradually withdrew. Gryphon Rider sent by Aerie Peak was no exception, but at that time Stormwind City has begun to rebuild. In order to help this fragile newborn city defend itself from enemies on all sides, Aerie Peak ordered those Gryphon Riders to temporarily station themselves in Stormwind City.
As for Sicco Thermaplugg, as mentioned before departure, this master craftsman really has to check whether the Stormwind City subway is in normal working condition. It is the first time for the dwarfs to preside over the construction of such a large-scale project, so they can't help but be distracted.
After everyone else left, Aaron happened to be walking around Stormwind City with Vereesa. However, the current reconstruction process of Stormwind City was just that, even by Alonsus Cathedral of Light, which raised a large amount of funds for reconstruction, has not yet been completely completed. The progress of other buildings can be imagined. The most common scenery seen when walking in Stormwind City is the various dilapidated buildings. Although they look fresh at first glance, it becomes boring after seeing too much.
"It seems that the reconstruction progress of Stormwind City is very worrying." Aaron thought about one thing before time traveling. Stormwind City started to rebuild eight years after Dark Portal started rebuilding. It was not until Dark Portal's seventeenth or eighth year, when the little prince Anduin was already two or three years old, that Stonemasons' Guild started a massive wage demand movement.
However, Valley of Heroes had completed the construction ten years before Dark Portal. Aaron thought that Stonemasons' Guild had spent several years peacefully begging for salary and only resorted to violence when it became unbearable. Now it seems that the reconstruction of Stormwind City was not that fast.
However, when thinking about this, Aaron immediately thought that his company had sold Stormwind City a batch of construction machinery, so he decided to go to the construction site to see the working status of the machinery, which was also considered as an after-sales investigation.
"Aaron, why did your shield light up?" Walking among the ruins filled with broken bricks and rubble, Vereesa suddenly noticed the changes in Aaron's body and pointed at Aaron's back and said in surprise.
"Shield? Isn't it normal for my shield to glow?" Aaron didn't react at first. As he explained, he took off Truthguard from his back. Looking at the faint light blooming on the shield in his hand, Aaron suddenly reacted. "Damn, there shouldn't be anything here..."
But Aaron realized something halfway through saying this. The Truthguard in his hand had been tested before. It would glow when encountering Undead or Old Gods monsters, and it should also glow when encountering demons. Since Truthguard is glowing now, it means that there are these kinds of monsters nearby.
The question is, is it strange that these monsters appear in Stormwind City? Aaron's answer is, it's not surprising at all. As the main stage of human power on the Alliance side after the Scourge war, Stormwind City lurks various monsters from dragons to Faceless Ones. It would not be surprising to find any monsters in this city.
Although the current Stormwind City is not an important presence of the Alliance, the city is in the chaotic stage of post-disaster reconstruction, so it is not surprising at all that there are some lurking monsters mixed in.
"Think carefully, maybe it's a certain Black Dragonflight?" Aaron muttered. Although it was tested on the Blue Dragonflight of Azurewing Whelplands before, Truthguard will not react to Blue Dragonflight, but Black Dragonflight has already been tested on Aspect of the Black Deathwing joined the Old Gods side under the leadership, which might make Truthguard react.
"Vereesa, pay attention and see if there is a black-haired human woman nearby. She is most likely a mage." Aaron recalled the image of Onyxia in his memory after turning into human form, and said to Vereesa. At the same time, he was also patrolling around to see if he could find any trace of Onyxia.
However, Aaron has little hope for this. After all, since Black Dragon Princess dares to sneak into Stormwind City, he must be very confident in his disguise. According to Aaron estimates that unless he can get all the people in Stormwind City to line up in front of Truthguard, he probably won't be able to find the disguised Onyxia.
"Is that the one over there?" Vereesa seemed to have discovered something, pointing to a construction site in the distance where the ruins were being cleared and said.
Aaron followed Vereesa's instructions and looked over, just in time to see a black-haired female mage standing next to the construction site, whispering something to a construction worker who looked like a foreman.
"Maybe," Aaron tightened his grip on Truthguard and took a few steps closer to that direction. He noticed that the light emitting from the shield was getting brighter and brighter. He felt more certain in his heart and immediately accelerated towards the female mage.
Unfortunately, the noise caused by Aaron running and tossing in the ruins was still a bit off. The two people over there were quickly alerted. The human mage who was suspected to be Onyxia quickly ran away. The human craftsman who stayed behind pretended to have nothing to do with me and ran to other craftsmen and started working seriously.
"I'll go after him, Vereesa you keep an eye on that guy." After Aaron said that, he quickly chased after the black-haired female mage in the direction in which he was fleeing.
However, this area was full of ruins, and many roads were blocked by various garbage. Not long after Aaron chased him, he was completely confused. When he remembered to summon the griffin to fly into the air to pursue him, he found that the other party had disappeared without a trace. He could only sigh and returned to the construction site, preparing to chat with the craftsman who was talking to the mage just now to see if he could get any useful information from him. 2k network
