Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 207 26. Message from afar

In Ravenholdt's stronghold in Dalaran, the young intelligence agent Jack wiped the sweat from his forehead nervously.

He was on his counter, writing an urgent report.

The content is that Ravenholdt's high-level assassin, "Orc Killer" Bu Laike Shaw appeared in Dalaran, and reported Gul'dan's death to the organization by the way.

He's a very smart guy.

Being able to be sent as an intelligence agent in a city like Dalaran has proved that he is a "key training target" in the organization.

He knew that what Laike said just now was not for him.

But to use his mouth to convey to the top of the organization.

Bo Laike has won another epic victory for Ravenholdt Manor, and he is asking the organization to give him a title and power corresponding to his merit.

For a huge organization like Ravenholdt, the title of Master Assassin cannot be given out casually.

The appearance of a master means that there will be another faction in the organization.

It's not difficult for Jack to imagine that once his letter is sent out, there will definitely be a major earthquake inside Ravenhold Manor, which is currently preparing to assist the Alliance in completing the decisive battle against the Horde.

but.

They had indeed hunted down two legends of orcs. With such feats here, if the League of Assassins did not respond at all, it would indeed be chilling.

"Jack."

"what?"

Bu Laike's voice, suddenly heard behind Jack, startled the young intelligence agent.

He is also a high-level assassin.

But before Bu Laike spoke, he didn't notice the existence of Bu Laike at all.

This means that the ubiquitous shadow loves Bo Laike to a degree that Jack cannot reach.

"You can be sent to Dalaran, you must be very familiar with the local area, so, can you do me two personal favors?"

The pirate chuckled, patted the shoulder of this "young man" who was older than him, took something out of his bag, put it in Jack's hand, and said:

"I'm paying for this."

Jack glanced at his hands.

What Bo Laike put there was an exquisite wand. The forearm is short and long, with polished and slender magic rubies at both ends, and the handle is made of the finest yew wood.

Just put it there, you can see a layer of psychedelic light beating.

Advanced Magic Items!

Absolutely!

Jack's eyes narrowed immediately, and he judged instantly with his vicious eyes that this thing was priceless.

And Ravenholdt does not prohibit members from entrusting work to each other.

In fact, the organization allows this kind of behavior. The top management believes that in peacetime, such behavior can effectively promote the skills and combat effectiveness of the members of the organization.

But there is one thing, rewards and tasks for companions cannot be released.

"What kind of service do you need from me?"

Rubbing his fingers over the wand, Jack asked:

"Is it intelligence, or?"

"No, no, just two simple tasks."

The pirate walked to the counter, casually picked up a ceramic decoration on the counter, played with it in his hands, and said casually:

"I'm in love with the sea now and plan to expand my career on the sea in the future, I hate life on land. I've got a few boats.

But the lack of crew is a big problem.

Coincidentally, I learned some local rumors in Dalaran today. "

Bo Laike glanced at Jack and said:

"I just heard from my sources that the orcs of the Dragonmaw clan burned a large farm near Dalaran in the recent war, causing the farmers there to be displaced.

Already starving to death.

Master mages don't have time to care about those civilians, but I happen to need a lot of people right now.

So, can I privately entrust you with recruiting some sailors for me? "

The red-haired young man thought for a few seconds, looked at Bo Laike and said:

"So, Lord Laike, how many sailors do you need to recruit locally?"

This change of title made the pirates very satisfied.

He put the ceramic decoration in his hand back to its original position, stroked his chin and said:

"At least three hundred people, time, the sooner the better.

Send them to the Beiliu coast outside the Silverpine Forest, I will arrange people there, and when the time comes, there will naturally be a boat to pick them up to sea.

I am a person who emphasizes fairness in doing things, so I have to sign a work contract with them, which must be legally binding, start at least ten years, and the salary is easy to negotiate. "

"That's all right, my lord."

Jack said in a relaxed tone:

"I've also heard about the displaced farmers. It's not that the mages in Dalaran don't want to help them, but now that the frontline is in an emergency, all supplies must be given priority to the army.

And no salary, my lord.

Now those farmers are doing so badly that they will take any job as long as they have enough food to feed their families. If there are three or four hundred people, it is very easy. "

"Then leave it to you."

Bu Laike smiled and said:

"Second thing, I need you to do me another simple favor. Can you send me a letter to Master Antonidas' mage tower?"

"Master Antonidas?"

Jack's smile froze on his face, and the priceless high-end wand he held in his hand became hot.

He just knew it.

With such a good reward, the things to do are definitely not easy.

"What? Can't it be done?"

Bu Laike shook his head in disappointment and said:

"That's really a pity, I originally planned to recruit you into my faction after I became a master, as my recruiter.

It seems that your ability is not as outstanding as I imagined. "

"No, Master Bo Laike."

Jack felt hot, thought for a while, clenched his fists and said:

"I can do it!

Please wait a moment, I will arrange it immediately, but I can only send one letter in at most. Please understand, Master Antonidas is the leader of Dalaran, and under his eyes, there is really nothing I can do."

"It doesn't matter, a letter is enough."

The pirate smiled again.

He nodded to Jack, and walked out of the shop with the magic suitcase. A few seconds later, he came back, opened the door, and reminded the sweaty Jack in a friendly way:

"The thing I gave you is a bit 'hot'. It's no exaggeration to say that with your current ability, you can't deal with the trouble it brings.

So, hurry up and make your move.

May you live until the next time we meet, Jack.

If you are still alive at that time, I will definitely fulfill my promise. "

After finishing speaking, Bo Laike turned around, put on his top hat, and quickly disappeared into the night of Dalaran, while Jack glanced at the magic wand in his hand that was emitting a beautiful light.

He doesn't have a headache about shooting this thing.

As long as you are a qualified mage, you can see the value of this elf-style wand. The best part is that there are many people who know what to buy in Dalaran.

Jack could easily make a fortune out of it.

This can also make him feel better about the possibility of losing a pony.

That was sending a letter to the mage's tower of the leader of Dalaran. It is certain that the horse boy who changed hands will be exposed, and Jack must be prepared in advance to deal with it.

Let's hope that unlucky guy who is about to be sacrificed by a big man's private affairs doesn't end up in Violet Prison, it's not a good place.

——

Two hours later, at midnight.

On the streets of Dalaran, a man wearing a Gilneas merchant dress and a top hat was carrying a magic suitcase and leaning on a cane.

Roam alone in the cold streets.

Laike felt the magical effects covering his body.

It was an amazing feeling.

His height has been compressed a bit, and his skin has also been changed to a slightly yellowish color as he remembers.

When he walked to the corner of the street not far from the mage tower of Archmage Antonidas, he looked around and sat on the bench under the lit magic street lamp.

Putting the cane aside, he took out a small mirror from his pocket and looked at the face in front of his eyes.

He has black hair, black eyes, slightly fat, a slightly collapsed nose bridge, and a not-so-luxury beard. When he smiles, his eyes are always crowded together, just like an old cat.

Be friendly.

"It's only been three months, and I'm not used to you."

Bu Laike touched his cheek, looked at the face in the mirror, he said to himself:

"Hello, me."

This face is the one from his previous life.

That is the past that can't be found long ago, and this kind of disguise magic can only be used to relive the old dream, which somewhat makes the pirate's eyes a bit sad like a girl.

This is an emotion that cannot be expressed in a pirate captain.

This will greatly destroy the fierce and cold image he has been trying to create, and it will tell others that he has weaknesses! He can be bullied!

It's a pirate's taboo

The magic street lamps on the streets of Dalaran are magically lit by a white-bearded dwarf mage wearing a pointed mage hat at night, which emits a warm light.

It's not harsh.

Laike sitting on the bench casts a fat shadow on the ground.

Ahead, a Kirin Tor battle mage wearing a purple robe and holding a staff patrolled by.

He glanced warily at Laike, who was sitting there alone, and the latter raised his head, showing a gentle smile to the indifferent battle mage.

Pointing to his suitcase, he pointed to the mage's tower not far away.

The battle mage looked back, and there was a short figure wearing a robe over there, coming out of Master Antonidas' mage tower and walking towards this side.

So the battle mage understood.

This is an appointment with a mage in the city. Then he no longer put his vigilant eyes on Bu Laike, and walked away quickly with his staff.

Bu Laike shook his head. These Dalaran battle mages are really as vigilant as the legends say, and they have the arrogance of spellcasters.

Too bad it was so stupid.

It's really hard to like.

But he quickly adjusted his mood and turned his head to the other side.

On the other side of the street, wearing a hood to cover her body and hair, Jaina Proudmoore, who was walking slowly, was looking at the fat businessman sitting on the bench in front of her with curious and vigilant eyes.

She never met him.

But the little princess glanced at the note in her hand, and took a few steps forward vigilantly.

This note was delivered to her room by a servant in the mage's tower half an hour ago, saying that a guest from afar wanted to see her.

As the little princess of Kul Tiras, and as a genius, she studied magic under the command of Master Antonidas since she was a child. Little Jaina is well-known both in the human political circle and in the circle of spellcasters.

She has always ignored such "seeking a meeting".

But the problem was that there was a message in the note that was sent to her at this time that she couldn't ignore.

It is precisely because of this that little Princess Jaina sneaked out of the mage tower at midnight when all mages were supposed to meditate, and ran to meet this stranger.

She is not afraid of danger.

Although little Jaina is only ten years old, her magical talent is indeed a genius.

If the stranger in front of her wants to hurt her, Jaina can solve most of the problems by herself without the help of others.

In the mage's tower behind her, there is still a very powerful "senior brother".

She is not afraid.

But there was an inexplicable fear in her heart. In a mixed mood of anticipation and apprehension, little Jaina walked quickly across the street holding an ice staff half taller than herself.

She stood five meters in front of Bo Laike.

Holding a magic gem that can be activated at any time, with a little vigilance, he stared at the businessman sitting on the bench in front of him with his big sea blue eyes.

she says:

"You said, you brought news about my big brother?"

"Ok."

The pirate nodded, and carefully looked at the face of the little princess in front of him. Her face was like the memories floating in her heart, without fading.

"I brought a message, and this gift, here to give you."
