Chapter 537 What do you know?
"The Abyss Council? Cho'gall, I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before... Teacher?"
The teacher didn't respond. It wasn't that the teacher didn't want to recall, but rather that she was weak, helpless, and didn't know where to begin. The teacher just silently watched Lorraine. The teacher had so much to say, yet didn't want to utter a word...
It ruins Lorraine's enjoyment of exploring on her own.
However, while the teacher remained silent, the Stonejaw Shaman Elder opposite them seemed to love showing off; it could speak not only Undead but also Orcish...
"Our duty was to eliminate the invaders. Now that we have completed our mission, we hand them over to you, you ugly creatures..."
The Stonejaw Monster spoke in Orcish towards Lorraine's direction. Lorraine and Lilith were puzzled, but seemed to have heard a few words as well. Looking around, they didn't seem to see anyone else.
.......
After the shaman elder finished speaking, the stone-jawed monsters began to retreat. They lined up, collected the corpses of their kind, and sang songs that Lorraine couldn't understand...
Thump, thump!
One after another...
Thump, thump, splash...
The Stonejaw Monsters threw the corpses of their kind into the lava, where they were instantly cremated. There was no sadness in their eyes, only excitement. The shaman chanted incantations and quickly disappeared around a distant corner with his people, leaving Lorraine and Lilith somewhat bewildered.
......
"What did you say?"
"You're not even listening to me properly, what kind of attitude is that?"
......
"Stop! Let's talk... Don't get angry, getting angry will cause pimples, disrupt your blood circulation, and give you wrinkles..."
"Where did you learn such nonsense?"
"What the teacher taught..."
"A teacher? You have a teacher? Isn't your teacher Lady Elwin? She's a Grand Magus, the mentor of all spellcasters in Undercity, the Speaker of the New Barren Council, and the Queen's advisor! She would teach you this? Nonsense..."
......
"Hey girl! Let's get this straight, are we friends?"
"Yes and no, you're an idiot! A moron, a big bad guy..."
......
Hearing this, Lorraine was speechless. He roughly understood that in front of the angry undead girl, nothing you said would matter until her anger subsided, and she wouldn't care about the current situation.
They didn't care about Lorraine's urgent matter...
At this point, Lorraine made a decision.
"Next, in the name of [Silverleaf], I sincerely hope that Miss Lilith, [Peaceflower], can help her guildmates and companions to have a happy and carefree adventure ahead, without arguing, cursing, fighting, being sarcastic, or rambling on..."
"What's the point of that? No way, I just want to tease you, Lorraine, so what...bite me..."
.......
Negotiations failed, and the clueless guy, Black Iron, expressed his helplessness: the necromancer Lorraine is not a lovable person; he is a messenger of death...
After slapping himself hard several times, Lorraine recalled the words of the Stone-jaw Monster, reviewed his previous plan, and compared it with the map. He decided to jump into the sea of fire!
Seeing Lorraine's expression change, Lilith noticed that although it was difficult to discern the complexion of an undead, she could tell from the magma and firelight of the Ragefire Rift that Lorraine's eyes had become resolute, his expression serious, and his gaze sweeping across the distance.
"Lorraine? Are you alright? Has your brain been poisoned too? I can cure diseases, but I can't cure poisoning. I'm a priest, not a druid... or a paladin. By the way, why can paladins cure poison? Is my holy light not as good as a paladin's piety!"
You mean Lorraine?
"Lorraine!"
......
"No, I know! The problem is on the map. Following the map is suicide! Follow me... watch out, jump with me..."
Lorraine recalled his experiences in Hillsbrad Foothills, remembered his teacher's instructions, and even thought of the Twilight's Hammer crystal hammer he always carried and the three-piece Twilight's Cultist set he kept hidden away. The figure of an evil cult appeared.
The old orc of the Fireblade Clan in Ragefire Chasm, the Demon Heart mentioned by Guild Leader [Black Lotus], and the [Deathwhisperer] guild members who had long been pursuing the Burning Legion's demonic spies, venturing deep into Ragefire Chasm to find the enemy and receiving commendation.
In Lorraine's mind, the cult that aimed to destroy the world, the Twilight Hammer, the Twilight Eye, the Twilight Council, including the mayor on Redemption Island, the shaman priest just now, the legendary code of "Fish Don't Lose" and the fallen terrifying totem Tauren shaman's backpack—everything connected.
Lorraine has touched upon the truth!
Ragefire Chasm is the root of all suffering in Azeroth, one of the strongholds of the Burning Legion. Behind it lie Cho'gall's Twilight Council, Gul'dan's Shadow Council, and the new Royal Apothecaries...
These people are carrying out the devil's plan, and they've never stopped...
The teacher said that Azeroth's true enemy is the demons from beyond the realm.
The demons from beyond the realms wreak havoc by corrupting the traitors within the various races of Azeroth. Fortresses are always breached from within. While the threats posed by open enemies can be detected, the hidden, internal enemies are always the most terrifying cancers and the key to victory or defeat.
"I know! I know. I've always known."
Lorraine jumped and skipped happily on the dangerous cliff face. He had figured it out; he knew; he understood the secrets of this world. He was happy; he had deciphered the message hidden in his teacher's ramblings.
......
But so what?
Lilith frowned as she stared at the crazed Lorraine.
"So what if you know? You didn't tell me. You know, so what? The sun is still in the sky, the stars and moon haven't changed, people are still eating, and people are still alive. What do you know? Stop making such a fuss. We're about to be burned alive, you know that?"
Lilith pulled Lorraine aside and casually cast two levitation spells on them...
But his eyes were fixed on the fragile stones, their edges already brittle from the scorching lava, which Lorraine had been stomping and breaking...
As the cracks continued to widen, rubble fell...
Lorraine felt his body lighten. He pointed to several lower protrusions; these footholds were in the gaps between the lava flows and the waterfall. A slight misstep could lead to the same fate as those cave dwellers...
"collapse..."
A signal came through my ear: free fall requires force to guide its direction...
Lorraine shouted, "It's too late! Jump! I'll tell you the secrets I know later!"
"What secret?"
.......
"Jump!"
"Humph..."
.......
"This is troublesome... A little to the left, yes, watch out for slipping..." Lorraine jumped down first, landing safely, but the surroundings were still lava, with no clear path... "To the right, this way, be careful... don't get your skirt burned..."
Supporting Lilith, Lorraine navigated through the gaps in the lava, finally arriving at a slightly darker, more open platform.
After looking around, Lorraine finally found her target.
It was a giant human face embedded in the wall, a stone statue...
Its mouth and nose were slightly open, as if there was an entrance.
Lorraine smiled gently.
Confident...
Lilith was completely confused. "Stone statue? Entrance? Exit? Didn't you say the map was a trap?"
"Ugh!"
Lorraine rushed forward, taking three steps at a time, and peered into the giant mouth of the stone statue. In the dim light, there did indeed seem to be a faint glow...
“The monsters have seen this map too, so we can’t follow the same route. But the direction and layout are correct, and the markings are right. The Stonejaw Monsters are quite intelligent, but they’re not smart enough to know everything.”
"Even someone as intelligent as me can't understand the guild's markings, so how would those monsters possibly comprehend them?"
"If it weren't for that five-stripe shaman's command, these stone-jawed monsters would only be slightly more intelligent than wild beasts. The monsters you killed before must have been without any commander..."
.......
"Yes, yes, you're so clever. The brilliant bald necromancer, what's next?"
"What do we do? Go in! Didn't the chairman and your brother say that the exit would be no problem?"
.......
"That's not necessarily true! I've never been through the secret exit before, and this is my first time at the base... I don't know what dangers it might pose."
"Alright, there's no turning back here. I spent ages observing before I discovered the hidden markings pointing to the area under the Firefall Bridge... Let's hurry! It's so hot in here..."
Having said that, Lorraine took the lead and was the first to crawl into the mouth of the giant stone statue, with Lilith following closely behind...
