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

"Hoo-hoo! Wakatuna! Return to your posts!"

One-eyed Gao En's roar was like a muffled thunder exploding in the narrow cave, making the cave walls buzz.

In desperation, he mixed the language of the fur monsters with that of the Kaldorei, roaring and driving away his overly enthusiastic compatriots.

His huge body pushed and shoved in the crowded group of bear monsters, and his fan-like bear paws carefully pushed away the furry bodies that blocked the way, especially the overly excited little bear cubs who tried to touch the "Miracle Priest" with their claws covered in honey or moss.

Finally, under Gao En's intimidating roar and body movements, the bear monsters who had surrounded him reluctantly dispersed, looking back every few steps, and made way for a barely passable path.

Alvin and his companions were finally able to catch their breath, but they looked quite miserable.

He breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if he had just survived a furry "storm".

I subconsciously raised my hand to wipe the sweat from my forehead, but my fingertips touched a slippery stain.

He looked down and saw that his originally clean robe of Eternal Light was covered with several blurry, huge bear paw prints covered with mud and unknown mucus!

His face also felt sticky, so he wiped it with the back of his hand - wow, a stain mixed with meat scraps and some fishy smell appeared on the back of his hand.

He had a vague impression that it seemed like the saliva was smeared on him by a cub in the arms of a mother bear.

"This has been a truly... uh, 'magical' experience..."

Alvin looked at his filthy hands and robes with a mixture of laughter and tears. His voice was filled with relief at having survived, yet also a hint of helplessness. "Goen, my dear friend, I sincerely appreciate the hospitality of your people... but this smell is a bit strong."

He felt like he was being "baptized" by a group of overly enthusiastic large stuffed animals.

Green Shadow beside her couldn't help laughing, and her clear eyes were filled with a gentle smile.

Seeing that Alvin tried to wipe his face with his dirty hands but only made it worse, she chuckled and shook her head, took out a clean handkerchief with a faint herbal fragrance from her small bag and handed it to him.

"Hahahaha! That's still the lightest of warnings! If I hadn't stopped you just now, you would have been dragged away by those enthusiastic girls to be their husband!"

Gao En laughed out loud, and his words made everyone stunned, and Alvin even opened his mouth wide.

"Can this still happen?"

"I have heard rumors... that some Kaldorei men were invited to Timbermaw Hold. When they returned, they became depressed for many days... and never again..."

Shandris blushed and whispered in Alvin's ear,

"So this is what they encountered! No wonder they refused to explain what happened!"

"Forehead......"

Gao En looked at Alvin's embarrassed look, and instead of apologizing, he burst into a loud, rich, bear-monster-like laughter: "Hahahahaha! Alvin, my friend! We all like you so much! We really want to get your blessing! It's a blessing to touch it! Haha!"

"This blessing... is truly too hard to bear."

Alvin took Green Shadow's handkerchief, wiped his cheeks and hands carefully, and responded with a wry smile.

Green Shadow couldn't help but burst out laughing, and even the usually stern Shantis couldn't help but smile slightly.

......

Under Gao En's leadership, everyone continued to move forward along the winding passage inside the fortress.

There are clear cutting marks on the walls of the passage, indicating that it was excavated in a later period. The wooden walls on both sides are inlaid with moss or small mushrooms emitting soft fluorescence, providing lighting.

The air was warm and cozy with a mixture of dry wood, moss, herbs, and a hint of mead.

They passed through several busy small "workshop" areas, where they saw bear monsters tanning leather, weaving, and grinding herbs, and finally came to a relatively open natural cave.

The interior of the cave is spacious, with a high dome and the walls covered with luminous moss, like a natural starry sky.

The central floor was covered with thick, dry hay and animal hides. In the deepest part of the cave, an elderly bear monster elder sat on a throne naturally formed by the coils of giant tree roots.

This elder is even bigger than Gao En, but time has left deep marks on him.

The originally shiny brown hair became sparse and gray, especially the hair on the chest, which was almost completely white, as if covered with a thin layer of snow.

His face was covered with crisscrossing wrinkles, like the growth rings of an ancient tree, recording the long years.

The two eyes seemed to be blind, appearing a turbid grayish-white color, like an ancient well penetrating the fog.

His breathing was slow and heavy, with a soothing rhythm.

He wore a robe made of special plant fibers and soft animal skins, decorated with simple bone ornaments and feathers, symbolizing his lofty status in the tribe.

The huge bear paw rested quietly on the crossed legs, and the nails were long but polished to be round and smooth.

At the entrance of the cave, Gao En lowered his footsteps, restrained his smile, and his expression became extremely respectful.

He walked to the center of the cave, bowed his head deeply in the direction of the elder, and made a series of low, slow, respectful gurgles from his throat, as if he was performing an ancient reporting ceremony.

The elder's cloudy eyes slowly raised up, sweeping over Alvin and the others like a knife.

His "gaze" lingered on Alvin for a moment, especially on his robe with the "mark of blessing". His nose under his gray beard seemed to move slightly, as if he was smiling silently.

Then he raised a huge, wrinkled bear paw and uttered several equally low, yet unmistakably majestic grunts in Gao En's direction.

Gao En responded immediately, turned around and shouted a few words outside the cave.

Soon, several strong bear monster guys came in with several bundles of thick clothes and placed them respectfully on the ground in front of everyone.

The bear monsters also winked at Alvin, and Alvin discovered that these bear monsters were wearing flowers on their heads...

Irwin was sweating profusely.

It seems that it is not a young bear monster, but a female bear monster!

"Clothes!" The elder pointed to the clothes on the ground. "Put them on... and keep warm! Winterspring is... cold!"

These are obviously warm clothes carefully prepared by the Timbermaw Bear Monsters.

They are made of multiple layers of thick, treated animal skins (mainly the docile thick wool sheepskin and the belly skin of some large forest beast), and the inside is stuffed with fluffy, dry, and extremely warm giant moss wool and dried cattail fluff.

The style was extremely simple and crude - it was just a huge tube with sleeves and a hood, with only an opening in the front and tied with a tough leather rope.

After everyone thanked him, they each picked up one and looked at it carefully. Alvin didn't think it was a big deal and just put the cotton jacket on.

The scene suddenly became a little funny!

Alvin's figure is quite tall among humans, but after putting on this huge bear monster cotton jacket, his whole body was immediately submerged in thick and fluffy fur and moss stuffing.

It's just become a clumsy, moving ball of fur.

The hood was so huge that it almost covered half of his face, leaving only his eyes exposed, and his voice became muffled when he spoke.

Green Shadow and Shandris exchanged a glance, then, seeing Gao En's earnest gaze, they also picked up their cotton jackets and put them on...

Although she also looks bloated, Green Shadow's quiet and peaceful temperament, coupled with a few strands of silver hair showing from the edge of her hood, makes her look like an ancient tree wrapped in warm moss, with a strange sense of harmony.

The one with the most subversive contrast effect is none other than Tis!

This night elf sentinel general is known for his slender and agile figure, upright posture, and wind-like movements. He is a model of the combination of elegance and strength.

However, at this moment, when she put on the bear monster cotton jacket that was too big for her over her close-fitting leather armor... all her elegance and slimness disappeared in an instant!

The huge, furry, shapeless cotton jacket was like a bulky cover, tightly wrapping her from the neck down.

A slender waist? None, just a round, bulging, furry outline.

Long legs? They were buried in equally bloated trouser legs that hung down to the ankles (the quilted jacket was a one-piece).

She tried to raise her arms, but the huge, bear-paw-stuffed sleeves made her movements clumsy and slow.

The hood was even more exaggerated. When it was put on, only her beautiful face with cold lines, which was now full of astonishment and a hint of imperceptible embarrassment, and the pointed tips of her ears were exposed - this strong contrast made her look like a serious elf head that was forced into a huge ball of fur!

Shandris looked down at her bloated "new image," then looked up at Alvin who was trying to suppress his laughter and Green Shadow who had already burst out laughing. She angrily wanted to take off her cotton jacket, but in the end she stood there stiffly and resignedly, trying to maintain the last bit of dignity of a general, but the slightly twitching corners of her mouth revealed her inner collapse.

"Hahahahaha! Brother Alvin, after you put it on, you'll look like a bear standing up!"

Akalitasa laughed loudly, pointing at Alvin and the others.

"Little girl, don't you wear a cotton jacket? It's very cold!"

Gao En asked.

"cold?"

Akali shook her head. "I'm not afraid of the cold. I can't wait to roll around in the snow!"
