I traveled through time and space and became the Archbishop of Stormwind!

The sharp claws of the Night Sabre Panther crushed the wet dead leaves.

The air wrapped in the salty sea breeze rushed into Alvin's nostrils.

The dense forests of the Black Coast appear dark green in the early morning sunlight, with twisted firs and hemlocks entangled with each other, and the trunks are covered with glowing blue moss.

Occasionally, a fluorescent butterfly would be startled from among the hanging vines, and the phosphorus powder shaken off its wings would draw a fleeting starry sky in the dark.

The journey was not boring. In addition to the scenery, there were also a few small animals running out from time to time on the roadside.

The Night Blade Leopards were very light. Before the small animals could react, they had already jumped up nimbly and jumped over their heads.

From time to time, a strange "cuckoo cuckoo" sound could be heard from the jungle on the side of the road.

&34;It's an Owlbeast.&34;

Shandris's cloak beneath her silver armor swept through the damp bracken. She slowed down and pointed to the side of the road.

&34;Look at the hollow of the old oak tree.&34;

Alvin looked around and, sure enough, an owl-like round face poked out of the tree hole, and its body covered with brown bear fur was as big as a warhorse.

This legendary magical creature was sizing up the uninvited guest with its amber eyes, its wing-like forelimbs clutching some kind of glowing berries.

"Eat yours!"

Alvin laughed and said, "It seems we have disturbed its feeding."

At this moment, the bushes on the right side of the team suddenly shook violently, and four hunched black shadows stood up, breaking through the thorns and waving wooden sticks on the side of the road.

Alvin subconsciously grabbed Xal'atath. The guys on the roadside were all covered in black hair and had bear-like heads - they were bear monsters!

These bear monsters were about the height of an adult man, with dark brown hair stuck to them from rotting resin, and their chests covered with hideous scars from necklaces of broken bones.

The leader was about to raise the wooden stick with flint chips nailed on it, but the moment he saw the sentinels and their Night Blade Leopards, he let out a terrified grunt and crawled away into the lacquer bushes.

"It seems like you guys and the fur monster are getting along pretty well."

Alvin looked at it in amazement and said to Shandris.

"Those violent plans actually retreated when they saw you. I thought there was going to be a fight."

&34;There are some bear monster tribes on the coast, and the totem poles they worship are located nearby. &34;

Shandris said softly, "In fact, the furbolgs are the native creatures here. They have lived here for perhaps even longer than the Kaldorei. Some furbolg sages also possess natural powers similar to those of druids. We are all just children of nature."

"General, we're almost there!"

The sentry captain in front turned around and said, giving Alvin a sweet smile.

Alvin remembered that she seemed to be Shandris's adjutant, and her name seemed to be Arya Starwind.

Shandris nodded.

"We slowed down and stopped in front of the wooded area ahead. Alvin and I went into the woods."

Alvin was shocked.

What's going on? Shandris wants to go into the woods with me?

Before he could think about it, the troops slowed down and stopped.

Shandris dismounted, handed the Nightsaber Panther to Arya Starwind, gave her a few instructions, then said to Alwyn, "Follow me," and turned into the woods.

"Wait for me!"

Alvin said as he and Akali Tasha chased after him.

"I am going to visit an elder. Remember, show your humility. This elder lived from the time of the Well of Eternity."

"We're going to meet someone?"

Shandris said nothing, but hurried forward.

Alvin knew that this woman was very stubborn. If she didn't want to talk, even if he put a knife to her neck, it would be useless.

Soon, Alvin realized that something was wrong.

The surrounding plants seemed to have consciousness, and the silvery-white petals of the moon thistle automatically made way for their footsteps.

There were also small animals leading the way ahead. A silver squirrel ran and stopped in front of them, as if waiting for them.

Alvin reached out to touch the wildflowers on the roadside, but was stopped by Shandris's sharp eyes.

"Here we are."

The three of them came to a clearing in the forest.

Alvin was already sweating from running.

"No one here, are we too early?"

Alvin looked around, and there was not even a ghost in sight except for ancient trees, wild flowers and weeds.

It was the ancient tree in the open space that attracted Alvin's attention.

I’m afraid that tree trunk is so big that even two people can’t hug it together?

The emerald-colored treetops intertwine to form a dome nearly ten meters in the air.

The hanging aerial roots are like the curtains of a temple, and this tree is like a forest.

It is early spring now. Although the morning sun is warm on the Black Coast, the temperature is still very low. However, this woodland is surprisingly warm, as if it has been cast under the spell of eternal spring.

"Shh,"

Shandris rolled her eyes at Alvin.

"Daughter of Moonlight, why did you come to see me? Um, and this is a human and a dragon? What a strange combination!"

A hoarse voice sounded and the ground began to shake.

Alvin suddenly realized that

The bark of the ancient tree in front of him began to reveal patterns like a human face, and the gnarled knots slowly opened - they were two pupils flowing with liquid emerald, and the hanging vines weaved into a beard with a low hum.

&34;May the veil of Elune smooth the rings of your years, Anu the Great Wise.&34;

Shandris' voice held a rare awe.

The trunk of Anu hums like the rich sound of rolling oak barrels, and as the ancient tree sage leans over, thousands of emerald leaves play a wind chime-like melody on his crown.

Alvin looked up at the wooden face emerging from the tree trunk - facial features naturally formed by the interlaced growth rings, and moss formed eyelashes in the eye sockets.

Unlike the corrupted treeman with pus oozing out of it seen in Storm Fortress, Anu's bark shines with the luster of morning dew, and looks like a thorny old grandfather.

"Many years ago, I saw your mother flying in the sky, but the Great Split later separated your nests on the other side of the ocean. Is your mother okay?"

Anu turned to Akritasa as if he was looking at his junior.

"Ah! Dad and Mom are fine, nice to meet you, Mr. Ancient Tree!"

Akalitasa laughed, "So you know my mother."

"Hahahaha, more than just knowing each other, I also received your mother's kindness in the past."

The ancient tree laughed and said, "And this human little friend, why do I feel like you also have a very familiar feeling?"

"He is Green Shadow's... friend..."

Shandris whispered beside her.

"Oh! I see. No wonder you feel so familiar. You're Green Shadow's friend!"

"Hello, Mr. Ancient Tree, my name is Alvin Priest."

Shandris unsheathed the longbow carved with the moonbeast totem and bowed slightly.

"Respected Anu, I have come to you with something I would like to ask you. A group of terrible cultists have come to this land and attacked the green dragon and our sentinels."

The female general paused and said, "I know that nothing that happens in this land will escape your eyes. Please tell me, where are these guys now?"

"Hmm... I see... The squirrels in the forest told me that those strange creatures came from the sea."

"They used pickaxes to dig up the Moon Temple in Amisalan in the north. It's unknown what they were looking for there, and then they went south and should be in Ashenvale now."

Alvin suddenly felt strange. He turned to look towards the north from which he had come and asked Shandris, "But we clearly came from the north, which means we passed by Amisalan. Why didn't we investigate along the way?"

Shandris was speechless.

Anu nodded.

"It's not her fault, because Amisalan was once one of the glorious cities of the Kaldorei Empire, but it was also destroyed in the devastating explosion. Even now, the souls of the high elves are still wandering in it."

Shandris continued,

"Respected Ancient Tree, let me tell you... The newly born Kaldorei decided to abandon the extravagant life of the former Queen Azshara, decided not to rebuild those destroyed cities, and started a new life anew."

"So now Amisalan is a forbidden place for the night elves."
