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

Speechless all the way.

This time the operation was light and simple, and Shandris also left the army and chose to act alone with Alvin.

Apart from hurrying on their way, the group only stopped in a tree house in the forest for a while to let the Night Blade Leopard replenish its water.

Unfortunately, the three tree demon sisters were not at home.

Shandris shook her head as she walked down from the tree house.

"They might have gone on patrol in the woods and had bad luck."

"Don't worry, Alvin. We will definitely meet them again later."

Green Shadow smiled and said, "But their tempers are a bit strange. Alvin, you are worthy of being friends with the tree demon!"

Although I know that Green Shadow didn't mean any harm, it still sounded weird.

So the group did not stay for long. After the mounts were supplied, they immediately turned around and headed north along the road.

The Timbermaw Bearman Gao En was very talkative, and he spoke Kaldorei very well, with almost no accent. He was completely different from the bear monster that Alvin had met before.

After talking to him, I found out that Gao En, who looks big and strong, is actually very delicate.

He introduced Alvin to many of the living customs of the Timbermaw Bearmen. Alvin discovered that these bear monsters actually possessed a lot of strange alchemical knowledge and made a fortune with it.

There is even a group of short green goblins who come to Timbermaw Hold once a month to purchase a batch of alchemical potions from them.

But in the bear people's social environment, money is completely useless.

These clever goblins adapted to local conditions and, in accordance with the bear people's needs, paid Timbermaw Fortress with runecloth and some food instead of money.

Therefore, the bears did not live a secluded life isolated from the world. Instead, they lived a very comfortable life, not much worse than the Kaldorei in Astranaar.

"But what's strange is that the trading day with the goblins has passed this month, but the goblins haven't appeared. So we're also wondering if the cultists are blocking the Timbermaw Hold, preventing the goblins from getting through."

"Let's focus on business first. You can do your business anytime."

Shandris turned around and said to Gao En.

Gao En nodded hurriedly: "Of course, but speaking of this, I just mentioned that there are quite a lot of supplies in the fortress."

The further north you go, the narrower the road becomes, until it is almost indistinguishable.

If it weren't for Shandris and Gowen, Alvin would probably have quickly gotten lost in the forest.

Unlike the corrupted forest in the future that Alvin was familiar with, the Felwood Forest at this time still looked like a primeval forest.

Tall trees one after another completely blocked out the sunlight, and all kinds of exotic flowers, plants and wild animals appeared one after another.

But there was not even a single large beast in sight.

"The more ferocious the beast, the more cunning and clever it is. We entered the forest so brazenly, and those guys will definitely flee far away once they notice us."

The giant bear under Gao En made a huge noise when running, but this earth-shaking sound was probably enough to make the beasts retreat.

It got dark very quickly in the forest, and soon after noon,

The sunlight was so weak that it could hardly penetrate the shade of the trees. The whole forest seemed to be covered with a mysterious veil, becoming even more gloomy and mysterious.

Alvin took out his staff and lit the holy light for illumination. Finally, when the Night Blade Leopards were exhausted, they arrived near the Timbermaw Fortress.

"Roar!"

One-Eyed Gao En signaled everyone to stop moving forward and roared with all his might.

Soon, the bushes on the roadside began to shake, and several bear monsters covered with leaves and bright feathers emerged from behind the huge leaves.

"Ouch!"

When the bear monsters saw Gao En, they excitedly surrounded him and communicated with each other in a language that Alvin could not understand.

As Gao En spoke, he signaled to Alvin and others with his eyes, apparently introducing this group of people to his companions.

"Everyone follow me!"

Gao En quickly ended the conversation and waved to everyone.

"My people said the campsite is now rotting and smelly. Luckily we got back in time and they are preparing to clean up the site. Why don't we just go over and take a look together?"

......

The thick air, mixed with rotten meat, cheap leather and some indescribable sour smell, enveloped Alvin and his group like an invisible, sticky net.

Alvin had never imagined in his life that there would be such a tragic scene and such a foul smell in the world.

They followed closely behind the huge, furry figure of the bear monster Gaoen, stepping deep and shallow on the muddy ground, and finally arrived at the hastily abandoned camp of the Twilight Hammer orcs.

The scene before him could only be described as a mess, the kind of rough and dirty mess that was characteristic of orcs.

The campground was roughly bounded by crooked, sharpened logs.

Many places have collapsed or been roughly kicked open, as if it is too troublesome to even take a few more steps to go around them when retreating.

There were tents of all sizes scattered inside. They were more like fig leaves put together with crude techniques than tents.

Thick, untanned animal hide scraps were haphazardly placed on the crooked wooden frames, many of them torn, blackened, and stained with suspicious stains.

The ground was full of trampled mud pits, discarded broken bones,

And the skinned and rotten corpses of various wild animals.

Ashes and half-burned wood lay scattered around several extinguished campfires, with dented, makeshift iron pots lying nearby.

The strange smell in the air, a mixture of excrement, sweat, blood and mildew,

The green shadow behind Alvin couldn't help but retching, and Gao En spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm in disgust.

"Bah! These cruel green-skinned bastards are even more disgusting than the slime monsters in the south!"

Gao En cursed in a muffled voice.

"These guys left in a hurry,"

Alvin observed calmly, his sharp eyes sweeping over the overturned makeshift weapon rack, the low-quality weapons scattered on the ground, and several pools of dark brown, dried blood.

"These guys practically threw away their unused weapons and their filthy luggage. Why did they do that?"

"We need to confirm whether there are any traces of the Twilight's Hammer's magical rituals left here."

As he spoke, Alvin took out a stone emitting a soft moon-white light from his arms - the moonstone.

He closed his eyes and chanted an ancient and mysterious spell.

The light of the moonstone suddenly became brighter, the surrounding air seemed to condense, and the temperature dropped several degrees in an instant.

A hazy, translucent female figure slowly condensed into shape from the light, accompanied by an almost inaudible whimpering sound like a distant sigh.

The banshee Farah appears.

She maintained the elegant silhouette she had in life, wearing an ethereal long dress that seemed woven from moonlight, her long hair moving without wind.

However, her eyes, which were sparkling with a faint blue light, were now filled with undisguised extreme disgust.

She hovered in the air a few inches above the ground, as if afraid that the filthy earth would taint the purity of her spirit.

"Alvin!"

Farah's voice was ethereal and cold, even with a hint of crying.

"You summon me—a noble High Elf lady—to this... this filthy pigsty? This sickening stench! This visual desecration! Look at the mud! Look at the garbage! And this... this pervasive, barbaric stench! Even the swamps of Hades smell more like a garden than this!"

She exaggeratedly covered her mouth and nose with her imaginary sleeve (if it could be called a sleeve), even though she didn't need to breathe.
