Taking advantage of the moment when Zhou Zhuo's storytelling had captivated the children, Alleria and Sylvanas exchanged glances, inquiring about Galen and the Azure Dragon's conversation.
Galen pointed outside and then took the lead, walking out.
Alleria and Sylvanas watched as the children became engrossed in Zhou Zhuo's story, and they also stepped out with peace of mind.
"How was it, Galen? What did you talk about with that strange beast?"
"That priest is so stingy, not even letting us eavesdrop on the side!"
Clearly, Sylvanas was a little unhappy about the preferential treatment she had just received.
Listening to his two wives' different focuses, Galen smiled.
"That is Azure Dragon Yu'lon, one of the four demigods guarding Pandaria. They educate the creatures of Pandaria while suppressing the echoes of the ancient god Y'Shaarj buried in this continent."
Galen showed Alleria and Sylvanas the jade pendant on his wrist, "I promised Azure Dragon that I would help them purify the Sha in Pandaria. In return, she will allow the Pandaren to join the Alliance and fight against the Burning Legion with us in the future, and this little Azure Dragon is also one of the rewards."
"Her name is Yu'lei, the daughter of Azure Dragon. If properly cultivated, she should be able to become a demigod in the future."
"Wow… this feels great!"
Sylvanas reached out and touched Yu'lei's small body, and a cool sensation transmitted from her fingertips.
Yu'lei seemed to sense Galen calling her, struggling to raise her head, looking at Galen and the Windrunner sisters with sleepy eyes.
"It's okay, it's okay, you continue to sleep, Yu'lei!"
This little guy had just been born not long ago and was still in a weak period, needing to adapt to this world through a period of sleep.
"What do you want to do? Galen."
"I originally wanted Azure Dragon to directly open the seal, and I would directly destroy the local Sha, but Azure Dragon told me that what's underground is the Sha of Doubt, you understand."
Alleria nodded to show her understanding.
"So I plan to arrange a good show at the Heart of the Dragon God, west of the Temple of the Azure Serpent, using the negative emotions generated by a fight to lure out the Sha of Doubt!"
"Do you need our help?"
The Windrunner sisters volunteered and took the initiative to ask for help. Since they became pregnant a few years ago, their children were now over two years old, and they had been staying in Stromgarde for so long that they had long wanted to move around.
"Are you interested? I originally wanted to recall Rexxar and let him cooperate with Old Chen, but if you two are interested, then let your sisters take care of this fun thing!"
Sylvanas was eager to try: "Tell us, what do you want us to do!"
"So, so, and so, and so."
Galen motioned for his two beloved wives to bring their ears closer, quietly revealing his plan in its entirety, and at the end, taking advantage of the two's lack of reaction, he kissed each of their delicate faces.
"Aiya!"
"Annoying!"
"Hehe he…"
… … … … … … … … … … … …
After coming out of the Temple of the Azure Serpent, Galen and the others once again boarded the ox cart. Old Chen waved goodbye to Liu Yanxin at the gate of the Temple of the Azure Serpent while pulling on the reins.
This guy went to compete with the young Azure Serpent priest while the children were listening to the story. I just don't know if there was any friction between the two Pandaren.
Old Chen, Old Chen, you can't let down Yalia, even though you two don't know each other yet!
"Father, where did Mother and Brother Wanyu go?"
Little Legolas asked.
"They went to do important things, to save this continent. But we will reunite soon. How about I take you to ride dragons next!"
"Is it a big dragon like Azure Dragon?"
"Oh! Okay, okay, let's go ride dragons!"
It seemed that the two children were very shocked by Azure Dragon's appearance from the clouds and had deeply imprinted it in their minds.
"Uncle Chen, I want to ride a dragon too!"
"Then hold on tight, the Misty Isle racer is here! Giddy up! !"
Under Old Chen's skillful driving skills, the speed of the ox cart soared, heading towards the Baomu Arboretum north of the Temple of the Azure Serpent.
The Jade Forest was once the central area ruled by the Pandaren Empire. In Galen's understanding, this could be regarded as the capital area of the Pandaren Empire.
This point was also verified by Zhou Zhuo.
This wanderer told everyone that Pandaria is divided into seven regions, of which the Dread Wastes and the Mantid Plateau in the west are inhabited by terrifying Mantid.
The Vale of Eternal Blossoms in the center of the continent was once the base camp of the Mogu. Their successive monarchs lived here. However, the Mogu never built palaces themselves. The Mogu'shan Palace, Two Moons Shrine, and Seven Stars Shrine in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms were all built by Pandaren and other races as slaves.
However, this area also hides many unknown secrets, which were personally closed by the four Celestials after the collapse of the Mogu Empire.
The Kun-Lai Summit in the north is steep and belongs to a bitterly cold place. The Krasarang Wilds in the south are low-lying. Although there are abundant fishery and forestry resources, the environment is relatively primitive and not suitable for living.
The real core areas of the Pandaren are the Valley of the Four Winds and the Jade Forest.
Among them, the Valley of the Four Winds is the main source of food for the Pandaren. There are abundant fields here and irrigated by natural rivers, and the food is quite abundant.
The brewing industry here is also quite large. The Stormstout Brewery is located here, but Galen stayed in Halfhill for a few days, and the Pandaren there called the Valley of the Four Winds the place where rural farmers live.
The Jade Forest is the political, economic, and cultural center of the Pandaren.
Zhou Zhuo's words sounded quite confusing to Galen, but their emperor was gone, and everyone was playing rural area autonomy together, which was considered a new thing in Azeroth. Galen only needed to shout 666 from the side.
Galen's destination on this trip, Baomu Arboretum, is the production site of Pandaren writing materials. There are dense plantations here, and many Baomu Arboretum wasps are raised in the plantations.
The stingers on the tails of these insects can be used to make good brushes, and the petals of Baomu Arboretum are excellent for developing ink.
Of course, Galen didn't come for brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones. Although he was a Chinese soul, he didn't know calligraphy. His goal was the Cloud Serpent Riding Order's garrison behind Baomu Arboretum!
The Cloud Serpent Riding Order was founded after the demise of the Mogu Empire. At that time, the Zandalari Empire agreed to the Mogu remnants' request for help and sent troops to invade the Pandaria region, which had not yet stabilized.
The newborn Pandaren Empire faced severe challenges. In addition to a large number of ground troops, the Zandalari army also had many Pterrordax riders as the air force.
The Pandaren monks were not afraid of the trolls' ground army, but they were helpless against the Pterrordax riders.
Later, a female Pandaren named Jiang and her Cloud Serpent partner appeared. She trained other Pandaren how to ride Cloud Serpents like her.
Jiang and his companions became the earliest flying corps of the Pandaren Empire, the "Cloudwing Dragon Riders."
Who could have imagined that the reason for the Pandaren's comeback was actually a kind-hearted little girl who rescued an injured and fallen Cloudwing Dragon?
History is always full of drama.
The ox cart traveled for almost a day, and in the evening, they finally arrived at their destination. Before their eyes was a pink ocean, the leaves of the trees in the Hundred-Wood Garden all being pink.
Old Chen drove the ox cart onto a wooden bridge, and after crossing the river, they entered an island in the river. Small workshops for making blank scrolls and manufacturing ink could be seen everywhere on the island.
"Chen, keep going straight ahead. There's a tavern there, opened by my old friend Qile. He's quite the chef!"
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go have a feast! Without Wanyu, I only ate buns for lunch!"
That night, they were treated by Chef Qile. In his hotel, Galen and the others ate Pandaren-style rice cakes, green curry fish, and peanut chicken, which was very similar to Kung Pao Chicken.
After a hearty meal, the children enjoyed peach pie and preserved peaches for dessert, drinking yak condensed milk and rich yogurt.
Galen, Old Chen, and Zhou Zhuo sipped Four Winds Brandy while admiring the night view of the Hundred-Wood Garden.
"Pandaria, so beautiful."
Galen took a sip of the wine, then took a piece of preserved peach from the fruit plate in front of his son. Seeing that his father liked it, Legolas pushed another plate of peach pie over.
"Oh, thank you, Legolas!"
"You're welcome, Father."
Zhou Zhuo watched this scene: "Galen, you have taught your child very well. In the future, he will surely become a great king like you."
"Oh? Thank you for your praise, Zhou Zhuo."
Galen swallowed the food in his mouth and said again: "Zhou Zhuo, after I finish traveling Pandaria, follow me to the Eastern Kingdoms. You can travel and study, and in your free time, come back and help me teach Legolas and Arathor. I previously invited Master Shang Xi from the Wandering Isle to give these two little guys martial arts enlightenment, but now they still need a teacher to teach them knowledge."
Zhou Zhuo was stunned. He didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to teach the crown prince. After thinking for a moment, he agreed.
"Chen, after the Jade Forest affair is over, we can set off for the Valley of the Four Winds. When the time comes, you can go find the ancestral home of the Stormstout family."
"I look forward to that day, Great Lord."
Just as Galen was about to say something, a commotion came from a distance.
"What's going on?"
Zhou Zhuo watched Qile rushing out, and quickly grabbed him to ask about the situation.
"It must be pirates. They often attack the fishing villages on the coast. Judging from the situation just now, members of the Cloudwing Dragon Riders must have been dispatched!"
Qile quickly answered Zhou Zhuo's question, and then hurriedly ran out again to inquire about new information.
"Pandaria has pirates too?"
Old Chen looked surprised. It's been shrouded in mist for tens of thousands of years, and there are still pirates?
"There are indeed pirates. Not only are there pirates in the Jade Forest, but I've also heard that there are often bandits raging in the Valley of the Four Winds." As a local, Zhou Zhuo had also heard some rumors about pirates.
"There is a villain named Sea Lord on the east coast of the Jade Forest. I have heard some rumors about this Sea Lord. Their leader is a strong Hozen named Uuna. Wherever they go, life is ruined, they frantically plunder the villages on the coast, and after burning, killing, and looting, they conquer the next village."
Oh my, there are such talented monkeys among the Hozen!
Although it was noisy outside, Galen didn't have the habit of watching the excitement.
"Children, it's time to rest. If you don't sleep well, I'll be scolded when your mother comes back. If I'm scolded, you won't be better off either."
"We'll go to sleep now, Father."
"Sister Lili, let's go upstairs and sleep!"
Galen followed the children upstairs, tucked them in, and began to meditate in the room.
Unlike those Wild Gods, since becoming a demigod, the amount of sleep he needed had been greatly reduced. At first, he was not used to it, but since being taught some monk skills by Master Shang Xi on the Wandering Isle, he had replaced sleeping with meditation.
Nothing happened overnight. A new day in the Hundred-Wood Garden began with the calls of the Cloudwing Dragons from the cliffs.
After greeting the children to wash and eat breakfast, they headed towards the depths of the Hundred-Wood Garden.
After walking for a while in the pink forest, they saw a huge training ground, with Cloudwing Dragons of all sizes flying in the air, red, blue, gold, and green!
At this time, a team of Hundred-Wood Garden guards spotted them and came forward to check.
"Oh, Zhou Zhuo, it's you. Are you here to pick up Master Mi?" The captain of the guard recognized Zhou Zhuo at a glance. In Pandaren society, the leader of the Shado-Pan, Zhou Zhuo, was quite a celebrity.
"Yes, that's right, Dabao. I'm here to pick up Master Mi, and by the way, help me notify Elder Anli, and tell her that the emissary of the Azure Serpent has something to look for her!"
The guard named Dabao was stunned when he heard Zhou Zhuo's words, and looked at the outsiders beside Zhou Zhuo. After carefully looking them over, he noticed the Azure Serpent bracelet on Galen's wrist.
Dabao respectfully saluted Galen, and then said apologetically: "Emissary of the Azure Serpent, you may have to wait a while. Elder Anli took the members of the Knights yesterday to hunt down pirates. Perhaps you will need to wait for a while!"
"It doesn't matter, we can wait, and take a walk around the Hundred-Wood Garden."
"As you wish, Emissary of the Azure Serpent, I will arrange it!"
The captain of the guard named Dabao led Galen and the others into their base, and Galen, holding a child in each hand, began to visit the place.
"Galen, this is just the area where the Cloudwing Dragon Riders train whelps and practice flying. The place where the dragons are actually hatched is on Windward Isle overseas. That is the home of the Cloudwing Dragons. They live on the island and hatch Cloudwing Dragon eggs."
"See those tracks? Every so often, the Knights will hold a Cloudwing Dragon flying competition, and the entire Pandaren of the Jade Forest will flock to watch."
Dragon racing, Galen had played it.
By the time they had finished visiting the entire base, it was almost noon, and Elder Anli, who had gone out to sea to track down the pirates, returned to the Hundred-Wood Garden with dozens of members of the Knights.
