Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 664 217. It is very reasonable for you to work for me and then pay me

"The strongest metal, well, I still have a few boxes of source quality ore, as long as Onyxia sends me craftsmen who can smelt them, this one will be satisfied.

The tendon of the dragon is now also available. "

In the darkness of the night leaving Lordaeron for Silverpine Forest, Bo Laike held a complex weapon blueprint behind the Hippogryph to examine.

He looked at the material requirements on this drawing, rubbed his chin and said:

"Now there is only the toughest wood for the main body of the hand crossbow, and the original embryo of the 'Crow Guard' can be made. It happens to be quenched together with the set of Moonlight Armor.

Well, wait, there's that Muradin thing.

Ask him to get the sword out first, and then quench the three things together.

Perfect! "

The pirate blew a whistle, made up a plan in his mind, put away the drawings again, squinted his eyes and thought:

"When these things are all ready, and when the beast covenant between me and the stupid wolf and the big bear is further advanced, it's time to prepare for the wilderness trial. According to the turtle man, the spear of the wilderness gods fell into Hela's hands.

This time, he might go to Hell.

Well, it's exciting to think about it.

But high-risk, high-reward, challenging the most difficult wilderness trial, once I pass the estimate, my hunter profession can directly reach the elite level.

After the three ordinary occupations have reached the full level, they can shape the power of legend and advance to the realm of legend. And the career improvement of the hunter can also unlock new powers for my watcher career.

Whether it can take off or not depends on this wave. "

He moved his fingers, and a trace of longing for power flashed in his eyes, and he quickly suppressed this impulsive thought, took the hippogryph's rein, and flew under the night.

Turning your head slightly, you can see the huge purple enchantment below.

The great enchantment shining with magical power is like an eggshell, buckled on the ruins of Dalaran city and Lake Lordamere, cutting off all connections between the inside and outside.

In the middle of the night, you can still see some casters below busy back and forth.

"It's really hard work."

Bu Laike sighed perfunctorily.

He glanced further away and found that the giant staff that Archimonde had left on the ruins of Dalaran had disappeared.

Probably those mages put it away, and wanted to use it to study the mysteries of Argus and the like.

Bu Laike didn't intend to come down to help, those mages probably hated him by now.

But when Laike was about to leave, he was sharp-eyed and locked through the eye of Keir Rogge, and saw the figures of two guys on a hill in the Silverpine Forest outside the Dalaran crater.

One of them is very familiar.

"Well, the little cat man doesn't sleep in the middle of the night, what are he doing there? Sneaking cats?"

The pirate recognized the man as the high-ranking mage Kel'Thuzad. He immediately became interested, turned the Hippogryph's flight direction, and flew towards the hill.

What is Kel'Thuzad doing?

I'm not doing anything bad.

In fact, he is currently fulfilling the task given to him by the Council of Six.

"This "Book of Ur" is the collection of knowledge left by your mentor. As the only disciple of Archmage Ur, you are qualified to inherit it, Arugal."

On a hillside away from the ruins of the city, Kel'Thuzad, with a sleeping kitten on his shoulders, had a serious and indifferent tone, and handed a thick black magic book wrapped in chains to him, who was carrying a staff in front of him. , a young man in a low-key but elegant robe.

The latter looked at the book brought to him with a complicated expression, sighed again, reached out to take the book, and rubbed it in his hand.

He said in a low tone:

"Actually, you don't have to give it to me.

Although Master Ur is my mentor in name, he didn't really teach me.

After realizing my weak spellcasting ability, the mentor was not willing to waste time on me, he just used me as his assistant.

Later, after he was expelled from the Council of Six, although I still lived in his mage tower, I learned magic from other mentors.

I don't think I have the right to inherit the Tome of Summoning, which records the brainchild of Master Ur.

You take it back and put it in the Great Library for other mages who are interested. Well, the Great Library has been destroyed. "

Speaking of this, Master Arugao suddenly understood.

He glanced in the direction of the Dalaran pit, and said in a strange tone:

"Did the council of six feel that it was not safe to give this book to other people, so they sealed it up on purpose and left it to me, a guy whose spellcasting ability is weaker than paper?

They want me to take this book out of Dalaran and into Gilneas for safekeeping? "

"That's about it."

The indifferent Kel'Thuzad said calmly:

"The council of six learned that you are going back to your hometown to develop your own business, but since you, um, lack spellcasting ability, it is difficult to find a job in the magic field that can make a living.

This summoning grimoire left by your mentor is in your custody. On the one hand, it is thanks to you for obtaining the temporary right to use Shadowfang Castle for us through your contacts in your hometown.

This is the Kirin Tor's tribute to you.

On the other hand, this book can also bring you some power to protect yourself and show yourself.

As Master Ur's former assistant, no one knows this book better than you.

You also don't have to worry about getting your summons out of control.

The council of six has sealed this book, and until your spellcasting ability reaches the level where you can break the seal, the summoning spells of those dangerous creatures will not be open to you. "

"Uh, I don't think I can break the seal either."

Aru shrugged his shoulders. The young mage quickly adjusted his mentality and threw the Book of Ur back into his bag. He solemnly performed the spellcasting etiquette to Kel'Thuzad, saying:

"I am grateful to the Council of Six for trusting me. Although I am not capable, I will do my best to protect the precious knowledge left by my mentor. I will bring it back to Gilneas and hide its secrets.

After this difficult time in Dalaran, I will return it to the city's library. "

"Well, the Kirin Tor will remember your devotion, Mage Arugal."

Kel'Thuzad glanced at the night sky and said:

"It's time for you to set off. I wish you a happy life in your hometown."

"goodbye."

Arugal smiled cheerfully, waved to Kel'Thuzad, looked at the kitten on his shoulder with a strange expression, turned around and walked down the hillside.

There was a low-key carriage waiting for him.

Judging from the family crest on the carriage, the family that Mage Arugal belongs to should have an unusual status in Gilneas. It's no wonder that this guy with poor spellcasting ability can join the Kirin Tor openly.

It seems that in the wizarding world, the same canon of ability applies.

"I said, it doesn't seem like a good thing for you to hand something like the Book of Ur to an ambitious but incompetent guy?"

Just when Kel'Thuzad was about to return to the station with his beloved kitten, a voice that he was familiar with but disgusted sounded behind him, causing the high-ranking mage to frown immediately.

He glanced back.

In the shadows of the branches behind him, cloth Laike sat in a safari suit, clutching a half-full wine bottle, dangling from his dangling feet.

"If you are unable to find a suitable hiding place due to the dire situation, I don't mind keeping that book for you. Speaking of which, it is thanks to me that you can get that book back.

Turns out the dark knowledge in that book almost killed me.

real.

Just a little bit. "

The pirate squinted his eyes, and raised his fingers in a serious gesture of "Yi Diu Diu".

"Dalaran keeps a lot of dangerous things. Compared with them, the Book of Ur has very little destructive power. With Dalaran destroyed, it is easy to continue to store those forbidden knowledge together. Attract malicious peeps.

I don't think there is a problem with the handling of the Council of Six. "

Kel'Thuzad looked at Boo Laike indifferently, and said:

"Arugal is one of us. He is a rational person and would not choose to betray us. He has his own ambitions, but they do not conflict with our interests.

As for you.

You are much more dangerous than him. "

"You know I'm so dangerous, how dare you take your precious egg kitten and face me alone?"

Bu Laike laughed, looked left and right, sniffed his nose in a playful way, and sniffing lightly in the night, he said:

"Well, I see, you're not alone. There's a newly dug cemetery around, and you're on your 'home ground', and you're fearless."

He jumped down abruptly, stood in front of Kel'Thuzad, took a sip of wine, hooked his fingers at the high-ranking mage, and said:

"Come on, let me see your 'Undead Army'. You, a genius of forbidden magic, have been secretly learning spiritism for so long, so you should come up with something that will catch my eyes, right?"

"I'm not interested in showing you what's inside me."

Kel'Thuzad protected his cat, took a step back vigilantly, and said with disgust:

"I'm not interested in fighting you either."

"But I'm interested in bullying you, kid."

Bo Laike laughed and retreated into the shadows with full of malice, he seemed determined to see the hidden power of Kel'Thuzad.

The high-level mage was forced to do nothing. Under the harassment of fingers and fists protruding from the shadows, he backed up, gritted his teeth, and squeezed out a magic handprint. With the burst of hidden shadow magic power, several people around Immediately there was a strange movement in the newly-covered tomb.

"Okay, stop!"

As the first twisted arm protruded out of the ground in horror, Bo Laike appeared in front of Kel'Thuzad's eyes and made a "pause" motion.

He was holding a recording board and a magic pen in his hand, writing and drawing on it, with no hostility on his body, acting like a "magic test".

While writing something on the clipboard, he said in a very professional tone:

“It’s enough to do this.

The operation of shadow magic power is very skillful. It seems that it is not just recently that you have started to transform the nature of magic power. I doubt that you have used some magician skills to transform your arcane magic power into shadow attribute.

Being able to wake up four corpses at once without touching them, allowing them to break through the tomb and crawl out by themselves, undoubtedly exceeded the strength that normal corpses should have.

You have enhanced them with shadow magic.

Very good, it seems that you have mastered the technique of 'Domination of the Dead' in the spiritism inherited by the Shadowmoon clan.

I have reason enough to deduce that waking four corpses at once is not your limit.

What a genius in this area!

I doubt Ner'zhul could have done this when he was as young as you. "

Bu Laike sighed in admiration, raised his head, glanced at the defensive Kel'Thuzad, and asked:

"Can you hear voices in your sleep?"

"What noise? What are you talking about?"

Kel'Thuzad hugged the cat in his arms, backed away and wanted to leave, the expression on his face was still indifferent, but the panic light in his eyes couldn't hide from Bu Laike.

"Don't play dumb! I'm asking you something."

With a whoosh, the pirate blocked Kel'Thuzad's path with flashes.

He raised the paper and words in his hand and said:

"I'm assessing whether your professional level is enough to enter a 'confidential subject' project team that our Nazaras College has just started. For a young man like you, participating in such a high-level research project, yes Your future prospects are definitely in good shape.

Young people should not think about making money to support their families, and do not aim too high, and move forward step by step, first accumulate experience and reputation, and then be able to make money independently by doing research projects.

Don't worry about immediate benefits, but invest more in the future.

Are you right?

Now, tell me, can you hear the sound?

I mean, the voice from the Shadowlands, the voice that promises you the knowledge of death.

You also need to make a contract.

Give you knowledge and power during your lifetime, but after your death, your soul will belong to, uh, should be owned by the Ritual Academy, and become an orthodox war lich.

And maybe promise you to be a 'Death Baron' or something. "

After the pirate finished speaking, Kel'Thuzad looked at him not only with vigilance and suspicion, but also with shock and bewilderment.

Apparently, Bo Laike hit his mark.

Seeing the change in his expression, the pirate nodded, stretched out his hand to write and draw on the recording board in his hand, finally tore off the piece of paper, and handed it to Kel'Thuzad in front of him.

He said:

"Very well, the forces of death have noticed your super talent, they have issued a call to you, but now is not the time to respond to it, because you are not ready yet.

I now formally invite you to join the "Death Knight Professional System Exploration and Death Aura Utilization and Research Research Group" of Narsalas College. If you agree, you can report to Tol Barad as a junior researcher within seven days.

If you're quick enough, you'll even be lucky enough to witness a lich's ascension ritual. This can bring you enough theoretical knowledge and practical possibilities.

All in all, a rare opportunity, don't miss it.

Oh, right.

Because it is a junior researcher, we are not responsible for providing you with salary, room and board, you have to prepare these yourself.

In addition, as a student who learns valuable knowledge from us, you need to pay an additional tuition fee to join this project team.

Don't look at me with that crazy look!

This is for the contribution of valuable knowledge, which represents your attitude.

And I heard that Suramar, the city of the Nightborne elves, has also begun to study the feasibility of the death knight professional system. "

Bu Laike spread his hands, and said helplessly to Kel'Thuzad, who was already dumbfounded:

"This is an air-to-air battle between two highly skilled magic research groups, and it is also a magic competition that affects the reputation of Nazaras College in the magic world.

Frankly speaking, with the current magical attainments of Dalaran's spellcasters, they are not qualified to join such a competition.

It is really a great honor for you to join the research of this topic as a selected talent.

But I don't want to stress this anymore.

So, remember, seven days!

If you are late, you lose this opportunity forever.

When you come to work for us, remember to bring your tuition fees. "

"I work for you, I dedicate my wisdom and talents to you, and then I have to pay you an extra sum of money in order to win this job without being paid at all?"

Kel'Thuzad looked at the elegant "certification letter" in his hand, looked at Bu Laike with strange eyes, and said:

"Why do I feel like I'm a fool being played by you? Do you really think I will accept this harsh condition?"

"You can refuse, but will you refuse?"

Bu Laike grinned, pointed towards Dalaran, and said:

"Others can learn valuable knowledge there, but you are just wasting your life there. Dalaran can't give you what you need, but we can.

Welcome to Narthalas College, the future master of death magic. "
