That... is Cenarius? The legendary king of the forest?" Tandred looked at Cenarius standing not far away with some hesitation, and matched the other person's figure with an image he had heard of a long time ago.
"Huh? You actually know him?!" Now it was Aaron's turn to be surprised.
"Well... this is what I heard from Drustvar's Druid before, that they had seen this half-man, half-deer king of the forest before," Tandred said and glanced at the surprised Aaron, "I didn't expect that there are things that even you, the prophet, don't know."
Aaron really didn't know about this, because it was the eve of the Battle for Azeroth version when he traveled through time. He only knew that the Kul Tiras people had the inheritance of the Druid profession, but the specific situation was not clear. He thought it was a local inheritance similar to the Gilneas people's Harvest Witch, but he did not expect that it was passed down by Cenarius.
"It's a pity that those Druid only like to hide in caves and basically don't go to sea," Tandred shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He said to Aaron, "What language does the king of the forest speak? Can we communicate with him smoothly?"
"What language does Cenarius speak? Kaldorei language right?" Aaron thought for a while and then added, "Since you have been to Kul Tiras, maybe you can speak Kul Tiras?"
This clearly exposes once again that Aaron does not understand Kul Tiras's past history. Cenarius When Kul Tiras left the Druid inheritance, what was active on that land was between The transitional species between Vrykul and humans - Drust. Even if Cenarius can speak the language used in the land of Kul Tiras, it should be the language used by Drust people.
Thinking of this, Aaron suddenly remembered Ysera and Ursoc who could communicate with him smoothly... Maybe Cenarius could also say Common.
"Anyway, let's go try to communicate with them first." Aaron pointed at Cenarius and Shandris·Feathermoon who were looking at him, "Even if Cenarius can only use Kaldorei language, he should be able to communicate."
Facts have proved that Cenarius can indeed speak Common. The king of the forest greeted everyone with his low and friendly voice and welcomed their arrival.
Then Cenarius looked at Aaron emphatically. "You are the Aaron that mother said, right? Welcome to Kalimdor, my brother."
"Your mother?" Aaron scratched his hair and realized who Cenarius was talking about, "You mean the king of dreams Ysera?"
Cenarius nodded and showed a generous smile to Aaron, "Thank you for everything you have done for my mother, the guardians, and this planet."
Aaron began to wonder how much Cenarius knew, until he saw a giant bear appearing in the forest behind him. After Ursoc turned his head around, he found Aaron, and while waving his huge bear claws at Aaron, he let out a continuous roar.
"So Ursoc has come back from Northrend?" Aaron waved at Ursoc, turned to look at Cenarius, and asked the other party's purpose of coming. It should be more than just coming to say hello to him. Frankly speaking, as for the fact that Kul Tiras people want to establish trade channels with Night Elf, it probably has nothing to do with Cenarius. Although he is Malfurion's teacher, he is not the leader of Night Elf.
But Cenarius smiled and said to Aaron, "Don't be in a hurry about what I want to say. Just come back to Mount Hyjal after you have finished talking about everything. As for now, let's leave the matter to Shandris. She was sent by the high priest Whisperwind to communicate with you. If you have anything to say, just tell her."
"It turns out that Ursoc came here because... if you put it this way," Shandris had been muttering to himself in a low voice just now, his eyes turning on these people from time to time. It wasn't until Cenarius mentioned her that he started to say hello to everyone., I didn't expect that as soon as she opened her mouth, she shocked everyone present. "Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. Hello fellow travelers from Eastern Kingdoms, I am Shandris, Shandris·Feathermoon."
This sentence sounds ordinary, but the key point is... this sentence was said by Shandris using Common!
When he heard Cenarius say Common before, Aaron was mentally prepared. After all, all the Wild God he met could say Common - although he didn't know where they learned it.
But the fact that Shandris could speak Common Language was a bit beyond Aaron's expectation. Theoretically speaking, except for a few druids who planted the World Tree all over the world with Fandral Staghelm, the other night elves should have been huddled in Mount Hyjal and Ashenvale.
But there are always surprises. There are some unique ones in any race, and Shandris is one of them.
Everyone present - even Aaron - didn't quite know that Shandris·Feathermoon had visited Eastern Kingdoms about two or three thousand years ago. At that time, Shandris had come into contact with High Elf and humans.
Evidence of this appears in World of Warcraft Battle for Azeroth version of the Alliance camp campaign mission (as I said just now, Aaron traveled through the camp on the eve of this version), in the fifth chapter of the camp campaign--Chasing Darkness mission line, the relevant text explains Shandris and Horde's ranger captain Alleria Windrunner Areiel We met two or three thousand years ago.
So who is Ranger Captain Areiel? This character first appeared in the Wrath of the Lich King version, and released several small tasks to players in Vengeance Landing of Howling Fjord. Then he appeared again and was killed by the Alliance players in the Nazmir quest line.
Shandris conveyed the meaning of Tyrande to everyone. If Kul Tiras people just want to go around Kalimdor, then Night Elf people can provide a little help within their ability.
If Kul Tiras people want to do business with Night Elf, it is not unwelcome at all, but they need to establish a business store within the greedy defined scope, just like Goblin.
How did Goblin do business with Night Elf? Build a central city far away from the core territory of Night Elf, and then build some small-scale business stores around it - the common Goblin stores in Warcraft are basically of this nature.
To put it simply, you can do business, but don't dream of entering the core territory of Night Elf. The conditions are even worse than those of High Elf - at least High Elf allows humans, dwarves and other races to establish shops in Silvermoon City.
