Evil will not deceive you

Arthas was very angry, and his heart was full of unwillingness to have his plan interrupted, because he had never expected such a thing to happen.

It will take at least half a month to go to Stannblad, and it will take more than a month to come back after dealing with the orcs. By then, there will be no more living people in Stratholme! Everyone here will become undead!

This is not the plan he wanted! He doesn't want everyone to die!

"Can……"

He subconsciously wanted to say that he had a plan, but he also knew that he could not have anything to do with releasing the plague in Stratholme.

He was a little irritated, because the plague would not disappear on its own, but just when he was irritated, he suddenly realized something.

The longer the plague drags on, the more undead there will be, and the more undead there will be—

The more reasonable his reasons are, and the more irrelevant they are to this matter.

But if this happens, the entire Stratholme will become a country of plague. He, he...

We must be ruthless.

He couldn't reveal that he had anything to do with it, and he couldn't tell his teacher what he thought, because Uther and his father wouldn't agree.

It is even more impossible for him to break away from the team and take them to Stratholme, then everyone will be able to see that there is something wrong with him, and then the parents of the nobles he killed will realize that something is wrong and will hold him back.

So just because of his father's decision, he had to go back! You have to watch the people you didn't want to kill die!

He could only watch helplessly!

because……

This is a necessary sacrifice...

This is a necessary sacrifice!

He thought to himself twice before nodding reluctantly.

"Yes, teacher, we are ready to go."

He was very unwilling, but he didn't realize it himself. When he knew that his late arrival would turn all the people in Stratholme into undead, he made a decisive decision.

after all--

This is the last drop of blood.

But his mentality gets better, and the other person's mentality gets worse.

Because Alsace's team and the Silver Hand's team were mixed together, the psychics did not dare to make any mistakes in a team full of paladins. Theodix, who was constantly preparing various psychic traps, was in Stanso Mu waited for three days before receiving the summons from the psychic.

"Alsace goes to Steinblade."

Theodix: “………………”

Unhappily, he crushed the secret message in his hand. Theodix felt as if he had eaten the Holy Light. He who had always tried his best to wait so long for such a strange reason was really disconcerting. He wants to kill people.

"Very well, Alsace, very well."

Taking a few deep breaths, Theodix continued his work, including but not limited to dismantling the mixing magic, magic traps that exploded at regular intervals, special plots of staying here for a limited time, lovers who parted ways, and prepared baby zombie bombs .

Since Arthas gave him so much time, he must prepare some sumptuous spiritual feast for Arthas in Stratholme!

The kind who are not allowed to leave until they are full!

But at this moment——

"Hope our journey goes well."

Ronin, who used Krasus's magic to disguise himself, looked at the sail swaying in front of him and glanced at the dwarf standing on the bow of the ship looking out.

The opponent's name is Muradin Bronzebeard.

A member of the dwarf royal family, but like his brother Brian, this royal Bronzebeard is also an avid adventure enthusiast. After getting a treasure map about the North Pole, he became anxious. Wants to head to Northrend for his own adventure.

Therefore, he recruited crew members at the Port of Lordamre. Many mages from Dalaran joined this team in order to make money.

There is no way, although it is difficult to become a mage and a mage is really valuable, a mage is also really not valuable.

There are only so many lords who need spell consultants, and mages who only know some fireball and frost spells are not very popular. How will a mage who has studied in Dalaran for four years face a warrior one-on-one? They all win.

But if you are facing two warriors, then the outcome is not certain. In addition, popular industries such as enchantment and alchemy are very complicated and expensive. Magic forging is even more difficult for elves, dwarves, and a small number of people. The secret of passing on.

It directly led to one thing.

Mages are very expensive, which makes mages very poor and unemployed.

It is very difficult for a moderately wealthy person to become a mage, and one will almost lose everything. However, a person with moderate wealth can live happily without the help of a mage. Even if a mage is needed, it only costs a few dollars to hire one temporarily.

And ordinary people?

Ordinary people don't have the trouble that a mage needs to solve, and even if they do, they can't afford a mage.

As for the lords and a small number of people who needed mages, it directly made it difficult for mages to find employment. Luo Ning was once worried that after leaving Dalaran, he would have to return to farming or work as a bartender.

He had a senior who was very good at using frost spells, but in the end he became a bartender because there was no job, and all his frost spells were used to chill drinks.

Moreover, he married an illiterate wife who weighed more than 200 kilograms. Every day in the winter, his wife complained that it was useless.

He clearly remembered that his senior could pierce dragon scales with his ice spear!

But now I can only freeze beer every day, and then my wife hits my head with a frying pan in the winter. My life is miserable.

There is no way, compared to the mage positions that Lordaeron can provide, there are too many mages.

There are even mages who specialize in lighting street lamps in Dalaran!

However, what is ridiculous is that after investigation in Dalaran, it was found that the entire human society needs more mages.

Every time he thought about this, Luo Ning wanted to scold the elves for taking enchantment, magic forging, and alchemy so seriously. He also hated the Valve School in Dalaran.

Why doesn't he stay in Dalaran anymore?

Not only because he wanted to calm down, but also because Krasus' identity was exposed and he couldn't stay in Dalaran. He lost his teacher and sect, and everyone thought he was Krasus.

Luo Ning, who was thinking about this randomly, couldn't help but look at Krasus beside him. Seeing the serious look on his face, he couldn't help but want to curse.

They could have gone directly to Northrend, but that bastard Krasus forgot his money!

The two of them were unable to buy equipment, supplies, or hire manpower.

Luo Ning didn't even have money to buy cotton-padded clothes!

Although there is magic to keep warm, who knows what they will face. It’s not a bad thing to be more prepared. That’s why they appear here, relying on the magic of warmth to keep others warm and food warm. A hand job and money...

This really filled him with resentment.

"So I said, Crassus, you are..."

But just when he was mentally preparing to curse Crassus for the 36,000th time, Crassus spoke, and it was a basin of cold water.

"There's no way our journey will go smoothly, Ronin."

Krasus looked at Ronin seriously.

"There must be Deathwing's minions on our road, and the one you should be worried about most right now is Vereesa."

But Ronin shook his head, he didn't want to mention Vereesa.

"Vereesa will take care of herself."

But the fact is...

"Thank you for your hospitality, Ms. Ilucia Barov. I will compensate you as soon as possible after arriving in Dalaran."

Vereesa looked gratefully at the noble mother and daughter in front of her. Damn it, Ronin and Krassu took away all the money, and all the prey around them were eaten up by the orcs.

This forced her to brave the severe cold and go to a village near Dalaran to seek help, but fortunately she met a generous noble mother and daughter who gave her a warm meal and took her to Dalaran. A natural commitment.

"No, it's us who should thank you for allowing us to meet a member of the Windrunner family, especially a beautiful elf like you."

Ilucia looked at Vereesa with a smile, her face was full of smiles.

"Um?"

Vereesa felt something was wrong, but the next moment, the tired ranger realized that the woman in front of her was just a phantom. She immediately reached out to grab her bow and arrow, but the next moment, a sense of powerlessness suddenly surged into her heart, and fear And fatigue also broke out in an instant.

But that's not the most deadly thing. The most deadly thing is that countless phantoms appeared in all directions around her, and each phantom launched countless arcane missiles at her!

Vereesa could have avoided them all and fought back.

but--

She hasn't rested for too long, and the effect of the tired curse on her can be said to be more deadly than anything else!

Her body was knocked away by arcane missiles, and the bow and arrow in her hand fell to the ground. Just when she was about to wait for the enemy to come and fight back, she heard the sound of countless spells, and more curses and restrictive magic fell on her. The sound of crossbows was heard from her body.

She saw that her limbs were hit by tiny crossbow arrows, and her dizziness became even more intense. Finally, with the help of a black energy bomb that flew over from far away, she finally fainted.

But even so, the mage outside the door still used magic to remove all the equipment on her body and tied it up before she dared to enter the house.

"It's really troublesome. Ordinary elves only need one spell. The people of the Windrunner family are really powerful."

Jandis Barov looked at Vereesa and couldn't help but sigh.

Because they knew that the other party was a ranger, they did not use any medicine, but used curse spells and even treasures given by the Dread Lord. But even so, the elf still had the ability to resist, leaving them unable to do anything. The second treasure was not used.

"But it's worth the money, isn't it? Look at this girl, she's prettier than most of the elves we brought. And there's no future trouble, after all, she's a wanted criminal."

Ilucia knelt down, touched Vereesa's face, admired the delicate face, and couldn't help but chuckle.

"What a perfect gift."

Well, 3k for this chapter as compensation.
