[Santis Yuyue]

This is similar to the friendship effect of the previous Hydraxian Water Elemental, except one summons ogres and the other summons water elementals.

The Ogre King sounds powerful, but it's better than nothing. Most of the summoned ogres are level 5 units, much like the Water Elemental, which is of little significance in Rowe's challenging trials.

Rowe inspected another drop, the tribute reward from Dire Maul. The tribute reward also includes two items, but in comparison, it's much more appealing and catches his eye immediately.

**[Forging Blueprint: Querceira]**

**[Item Level: Level 7]**

**[Description: The sword of the High Elves! Those who wield this sword will be protected by the High Elves and have exceptional physical defense.]**

Querceira!

Among one-handed weapons in Azeroth, Querceira is a renowned piece. Only the Blessed Windseeker Sword, the legendary Wind Sword, can rival it.

Seeing this forging blueprint, despite already possessing Sulfuron Warhammer, Rowe couldn't help but feel moved and considered crafting one for himself.

Of course, from a practical standpoint, this item holds little value for him, and it might be more fitting for Brunnock, as Querceira is generally used against mounted foes.

In addition to this forging blueprint, there's also a tome of experience.

**[Book of Experience: Shandris Feathermoon]**

**[Type: Hero]**

**[Experience Level: Level 8]**

General Shandris Feathermoon, adopted daughter of Tyrande, stands as one of the top heroes of the Night Elf race.

General Feathermoon is renowned for her "Lunar Railgun," which has carved out an impressive record in Orgrimmar alone.

Another hero-type experience book, akin to the old King Magni, also level 8.

Forseti naturally took an interest in General Feathermoon and decided to engage in this encounter.

Predictably, General Feathermoon's training simulation was at Feathermoon Fortress, the base for the Night Elf Sentinel forces.

Shandris Feathermoon, a formidable Night Elf warrior, armed with a moon blade and a longbow at her side, observed Rowe's arrival. "Human, you challenge me."

Rowe tightened his grip on the warhammer, prepared. Though not overly optimistic, wielding Sulfuron Warhammer instilled a sense of worthiness, suggesting he could possibly defeat Feathermoon.

Flames surged forth from the Sulfuron Warhammer, blazing fiercely.

Instantly, Rowe charged forward, clashing with Shandris Feathermoon's moon blade. The battlefield resounded with the clang of metal, as Rowe and Feathermoon intertwined amidst Yuyue Fortress, alternating between fiery flames and arcane magic.

Their battle, a symphony of sight and sound, seemed to tip in Rowe's favor, bolstered by the brilliant, dazzling flames of his warhammer.

In the heat of battle, Luo Wei leapt into the air. Feathermoon swiftly drew her bow and released an arcane arrow, shimmering with moonlight, aimed directly at Rowe.

Rowe's mind raced; the Sulfuron Warhammer transformed into a flame-shaped shield, absorbing the impact of the arcane arrow.

Even in flame form, Sulfuron Hammer retained many original attributes, such as durability. It likely ranks among the most robust shields, born of flame.

Following the arrow's deflection, Rowe swiftly reshaped Sulfuron's flame into a long whip. With a vigorous swing, he lashed out towards Shandris Feathermoon.

Caught off guard, Feathermoon winced as the fiery whip struck her, causing her to cry out in pain, swiftly evading backward.

Then, she declared, "Feel the wrath of the Moon Goddess Elune!"

Before the words had fully left her lips, moonfire brilliance enveloped her, while simultaneously, a radiant full moon materialized overhead, bathing the surroundings in lunar light.

Was this General Feathermoon's famed Lunar Railgun?

Though familiar with the Lunar Railgun, Forseti remained uncertain of its manifestation within this training simulation. Pausing for a brief moment, he immediately retreated.

In that moment, the full moon radiated intensely, descending swiftly.

**[BOOM!]**

In an instant, from all directions, without exception, Rowe believed he might escape the attack range. But within the blink of an eye, he found himself submerged beneath the bright moonlight.

This potent spell, known as the Prayer of the Moonlight Goddess, proved more ferocious than anticipated.

Though brief, the bombardment left Rowe smoking, his body trembling.

Shandris Feathermoon snorted softly, wielding her moon blade, advancing toward Rowe.

After a moment's hesitation, Forseti chose not to withdraw from the simulation. Instead, he continued his skirmish with General Feathermoon, evading until she unleashed the Lunar Railgun three times without fail.

Exiting the simulation, Forseti recalibrated his emotions and organized his thoughts.

The Lunar Railgun proved particularly tricky, boasting formidable lethality. Forseti estimated he could withstand up to five strikes.

Most alarming, the spell possessed an extensive reach. Despite Rowe's every effort to evade, and even preemptive action, he failed to elude the railgun's killing range.

If he could dodge a few more times, victory seemed achievable.

Spacecraft transformation involves intricate details, incorporating numerous design elements. Naturally, completing such a task overnight remains unfeasible, so Rowe lingered in Nidavellir for several days, conversing with dwarves over drinks.

Unexpectedly, before spacecraft transformation concluded, Heimdall initiated contact.

"What's the matter, Heimdall?" Rowe inquired.

"A major incident transpired yesterday," Heimdall replied gravely. "Prison in Vanaheim spiraled out of control, triggering mass prisoner escape, accompanied by arson, bloodshed, and pillaging, causing considerable havoc."

Prison break?

Rowe frowned. "Why?"

"Uncertain at present. Yet, evidence suggests someone breached Ulik, Troll King's cell from outside," Heimdall reported.

Ulik… isn't he deceased?

"Not yet, though his demise appears imminent. Unexpectedly, as his end approached, Ulik escaped prison. This is unlikely his final chapter."

Pausing briefly, Heimdall continued, "Ulik once reigned as Troll King. Despite advancing age, he commands respect. Moreover, troublesome escapees among the prisoners pose a challenge… Hence, His Majesty Odin resolved to dispatch you and Prince Thor to Vanaheim, to apprehend fugitive prisoners."
