In Sunsail Anchorage, a dozen ships of different sizes are gently swaying with the slightly rippling water in the harbor. Sailors and merchants coming and going on the shore are constantly loading and unloading various goods.
Among the buildings on the shore, there are guards wearing Quel'Thalas standard equipment patrolling back and forth, maintaining the order of Harbor District. Not far away, there is a magic tower shining with purple Arcane light, shocking this Quel'Thalas's only external port.
"Don't get too close. The magic tower over there can hit targets in the air." Vereesa tugged on Aaron's clothes and reminded.
Aaron nodded and controlled the griffin to slowly land not far away from Harbor District.
Just when Aaron was still looking at the busy Harbor District and didn't know where to go to find the ship bound for Broken Isles, Vereesa dragged Aaron familiarly to a ship that was obviously not High Elf's style.
"This is..." Looking at the green anchor flag hanging on the ship, Aaron turned to look at Vereesa: "Kul Tiras's ship?"
Vereesa nodded and confirmed Aaron's guess. Most of High Elf's own ships only ran some offshore routes. In the past two years, Northrend also tried to open a route to the north. However, because there were very few elves willing to go to the ice and snow, that route was basically abandoned and only happened once a month.
On the other hand, ships from Kul Tiras traveling to and from Northrend often stop at Sunsail Port for rest. However, because of the closed tradition of Quel'Thalas, these Kul Tiras people basically do not stay here permanently and will only trade with elven merchants in the port area.
As for the relatively closer Broken Isles route, because this route is too dangerous, the elves simply did not open this route.
But the merchants Kul Tiras, who is famous for his navigation skills, opened a connection to Broken Isles The routes of Kul Tiras and Silvermoon City, these merchants usually transport a large amount of food and ore needed by the elves from Kul Tiras to Sunsail Anchorage, then take the exquisite handicrafts and magic products of the elves to Broken Isles, where you can load some high-quality ore special to Broken Isles and return to Quel'Thalas.
Only the merchants of Kul Tiras, who are extremely advanced in shipbuilding and navigation technology, can do this. Ships from other countries have no problem taking the offshore route, but taking the ocean route is a matter of luck. It is said that the navigators of Kul Tiras also plan to conquer Maelstrom, which hinders them from going further, and want to see the legendary land of eternal starlight on the other side of Maelstrom.
The ship that Vereesa helped Aaron find takes this route. Originally, the captain only planned to load cargo and did not prepare cabins for guests. Even though Aaron said that he
Although he didn't mind crowding the bunk with the sailors, the captain was still hesitant. It wasn't until Vereesa handed a heavy bag of money to the captain that the fat captain looked like he had the blood of Drust. Then he agreed with a smile on his face, and even asked his crew to free up a crew room for Aaron.
"Isn't this bad?" Aaron looked at Vereesa slightly uneasily. The bag Vereesa just handed to the captain showed that it contained a lot of money.
"Um..." Vereesa blinked his bright eyes, with a smile on his lips, "Actually, that's the money I want to give you."
Hearing Vereesa say this, Aaron was a little confused for a while and didn't know what it meant.
After listening to Vereesa's explanation, Aaron realized that it turned out that in order to reward Aaron for his previous contribution in the battle to defend Farstrider Lodge, out of the elves' usual high Ao, the long-eared people felt that they could not ignore Aaron's contribution, as this would make the elves appear ungrateful, so Sylvanas took a sum of money from the ranger unit's funds as a reward for Aaron.
"So that's it..." Aaron couldn't help but sigh. The elves were more generous than Dalaran and Lordaeron. At least they were really willing to give rewards.
But Aaron quickly realized, wait, this money seemed to be spent every time it came to him. Thinking that the bulging money bag just now should actually belong to him, Aaron couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken. He wanted to ask the captain to get some back, but he thought it was a bit too embarrassing, so he didn't go in the end.
"Okay, the ship is about to leave soon. You should go back first." After chatting with Vereesa on the pier for a while, a crew member came over to remind Aaron that the ship was about to leave. Aaron hurriedly said goodbye to Vereesa.
"You can get on the boat first, and I'll go back after you leave."
"Then I'll leave."
"Goodbye... wait a minute." Vereesa suddenly called out to Aaron.
Aaron stopped suspiciously, looked at Vereesa, and said with a smile, "Is there anything else? You can't bear to leave me?"
"It's nothing." Vereesa shook his head and saw Aaron turning around to leave. He gritted his teeth, took two steps forward, opened his arms and hugged Aaron, and gently laid his head on Aaron's shoulder, but said nothing.
After the two hugged each other in silence for a while, Vereesa let go of Aaron, with a slightly forced smile on his face and said, "Okay, you go quickly, the ship is about to leave."
"Ah, I..." Aaron deliberately said that he might as well stay, but thinking that if he stayed, he would probably end up becoming a dead soul under Scourge's soldiers. He clenched his fist, waved to Vereesa, and boarded the ship along the springboard between the trestle and the deck.
At this moment, the sailors on the deck were shouting slogans and turning the wheel. The chain attached to the wheel was slowly pulled up, and the heavy anchor slowly rose to the water.
After the anchor was brought up, the sailors put away the gangplank and raised the sail, and the cargo ship slowly started to move. Vereesa, who was standing on the trestle, waved to Aaron, and Aaron raised his arm in response to Vereesa.
Seeing that the ship was about to leave the pier area, Aaron waved his hand to Vereesa, then slowly left the side of the ship, standing on the deck, looking at the busy sailors coming and going on the ship, Aaron sighed, but heard Xal'atath's voice in his mind. "Why, I missed her as soon as the ship started? Do you want me to fly you back?"
Aaron rolled his eyes and ignored Xal'atath. Ever since she appeared in front of Aaron that day, the woman who calls herself Old Gods has made no secret of her existence and is always in front of Aaron was chattering in his heart, either despising High Elf's aesthetics or laughing at Aaron. In most cases, he was still laughing at him. After all, the elves couldn't hear Xal'atath's words, but Aaron had no place to escape.
"Boy, you should think about it. Your life span is at most a hundred years, but that little girl can live for thousands of years. It's impossible between you." Xal'atath had no intention of shutting up. After helping Aaron analyze the cross-race (love) (love) for a long time without good results, he suddenly said in surprise, "How could this be? I really underestimated this little elf girl."
"What are you talking about?" Aaron was intrigued by Xal'atath's scream, which could make this guy who had witnessed tens of thousands of years of history scream out in surprise, but Xal'atath stopped making a sound, no matter how much Aaron urged him to.
Aaron shook his head. He didn't know which song Xal'atath was singing, but he heard the crew behind him scream in surprise. Aaron just turned around to see what happened, but saw a familiar figure quickly leaping down from the back of the ship and heading straight towards Aaron.
Aaron subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but he still controlled his body and stood on the spot. The figure that rushed over like a gust of wind ran directly into Aaron's arms.
In order to prevent the opponent from getting hurt, Aaron didn't use any defensive skills at all. Being hit by someone like this made Aaron grin in pain for a while. After giving himself a shot of Heal, he looked at the opponent and said, "It's too dangerous for you to do this."
Vereesa showed a happy smile on his face, "I knew you would catch me!"
"What if I don't catch it?"
"Didn't you catch it?"
