Chapter 494 Yurev's Message
When the Frost Bone Dragon was burned away by the blue magic, Lorraine also successfully escaped.
The ice dragon flew northeast until it was completely reduced to ashes. Lorraine fell into the sea. The ice dragon was completely devoured by the Eye of Frost, and his newly acquired Frost Dragon runes solidified... The positions of his left and right eyes were fixed. His left eye became the Eye of Frost, its socket not filled with Frost Dragon runes... His right eye remained a black vortex rune prison...
Let's leave that aside for now...
Lorraine, fortunately, soon discovered he had fallen into the North River Valley, where the Spider Mine felt strangely familiar...
The sons of Arugal, who once lived nearby, guarded this secret port for the Archmage Arugal, smuggling and selling corpses; they were all merchants controlled by the Dreadlord...
The hideous and lowly creatures—Gnolls, Worgen, Kobolds, and Cave Dwellers—are actually the henchmen of the Syndicate and Necromancers, as well as the Scarlet Crusade, Bloodsail Buccaneers, and Blackwater Raiders—who are involved in the secret dealings of Azeroth.
Selling the remains of humans or other humanoid races to the Dreadlords of Undercity, the Scourge, and Scholomance for experiments... to create more undead puppets... Lorraine should have discovered some clues, but unfortunately, he was only focused on getting promoted and making money, and overlooked many details.
They even ignored the truth about his tragic death back then...
......
Compared to other races, goblins and pirates are practically inseparable, especially the four major goblin trading powers: the Hot Sands Consortium, the Venture Capital Corporation, the Blackwater Consortium, and the Rustwater Consortium...
The Rustwater Clique, having been saved by the tribe's chieftain in the past, has a close relationship with the tribe and is inclined to join it...
In reality, the goblin race, including the Azeroth Post Office and Goblin Airlines, prioritizes neutrality and maximizing their wealth and profits... they have no sense of honor or loyalty whatsoever.
The war between the Horde and the Alliance intensifies. Of course, the territories of the Horde and the Alliance don't entirely belong to either side as one might imagine. The so-called Horde territory and Alliance territory mainly consist of outposts established by each side. In reality, many neutral or hostile smaller factions live within these territories, and even the Horde and the Alliance lack the capacity to completely eliminate them...
For example, gnolls, kobolds, ogres, and the troll natives who have lived in forests, islands, and deserts for many years...
The teacher once said that the so-called kingdoms and territories of Azeroth are actually just those with greater power, which is completely different from the concept of eastern territories in Rolin's world... The so-called lords and kings of the West simply occupy and own the territory within their small castles and nearby manors...
Therefore, their concepts of the world are completely different...
Lorraine didn't understand this point. He only knew that nobles did indeed have many privileges, the power of life and death, and that it was difficult for commoners and the weak to rise up... At least when he was still a magic apprentice, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't change the fact that he was just an orphan and a servant.
Lorraine once dreamed of marrying a princess or becoming a knight, but the blond-haired boy from Azeroth was just an ordinary mortal... without even magical talent.
It takes an ordinary young man thirty years to realize his ordinariness; his dreams and aspirations can only be fulfilled after death and resurrection...
Was this a joke played on him by the Creator...?
Without a teacher, he might really be nothing...
The teacher always saves and guides Lorraine, and this time is no exception.
So, Lorraine, who had narrowly escaped death from the sea, and her weakened teacher discussed their next move... Time was of the essence; they had exceeded the time limit for collecting the eyes in the first week. The clue Lorraine had obtained was that the teacher's second part involved many choices...
It seems that the undead city of Stratholme might hold what they need, but the Northern Deadlands and the Plaguelands are far too dangerous...
Lorraine's current strength... prevents it from heading north!
Stratholme is off-limits! And Outland, the Burning Legion's transit point, the orcs' former homeland, the perilous Blade's Edge Mountains, the land where the black dragon perished—all are unacceptable... Even a single Faceless One is insurmountable; facing a true demon, Lorraine cannot be certain what resistance mortals could offer...
Now only the third clue remains...
Go to Kalimdor across the sea!
......
Lorraine cannot return to Undercity, cannot return to Tarren Mill, cannot return to the Frostwolf Den...
At least not for now. Yurev did not come to Lake Lodanmir to find his master as agreed, but he left a secret message.
When Lorraine arrived near the grave of Serbercher Yurev from the Northern River Valley, he saw a familiar object: the base of the Bloodstone Egg Necklace he had previously stolen from the asylum...
That thing was once arranged by Lorraine to be carried by an undead puppet, but after it fell into the abyss, it was never heard from again.
When the necklace appeared on Yurev's tombstone, Lorraine realized that this was a message her most loyal subordinate wanted to convey.
"To the Unfading Sun, my master, revered Necromancer, King of Death, Messenger of Plague, Lord of the Tides, King of the Murlocs, His Majesty Lorraine:"
"My rank is responsible for protecting Marcus and tracking down our missing comrades. After Marcus was rescued by the Church of Light, he was subjected to mind control magic by a mysterious figure and sent to the Tomb of the Lightbringer. Later, he was appointed Marshal of the Alliance Vanguard...responsible for eliminating the Forsaken and reclaiming human territory."
"Based on our investigation and analysis, the three missing and deceased commanders are likely in the hands of Silvermoon City, Scholomance, or Blackwing Lair..."
"Your humble servant has infiltrated Scholomance... to seek a rescue... Scholomance is in league with the dreadlord Varimathras... The Scarlet Crusade is Varimathras's doing, so please prepare yourselves, Master... They have already listed you as their number one target. Rhys & Frostwhisper have already put a bounty on your magical image; in the entire dark market, you are worth a fortune... dead or alive..."
After reading the long string of comments... the master and apprentice were speechless with emotion...
"We've been exposed after all!"
"It's still too high-profile..."
"If we're targeted by a natural disaster, is it still possible to go north?"
......
Fortunately, Serbercher was an acquaintance, so Lorraine had no reservations and inquired about the recent movements in Undercity from the Gravekeeper Commander Carlos. After listening, Lorraine fell into deep thought and confusion.
The Shadow Priest reminded Lorraine that the Dreadlord had issued a secret detention order to the Forsaken army: whoever saw Lorraine, the Plaguebringer, should be sent back to the Undercity Royal Quarter for questioning...
The dreadlord's inquiry... was certainly not a gentle greeting...
What awaits Lorraine may be the instruments of torture in the dungeon and the experiments of necromancers...
Lorraine had already witnessed this in Undercity. Irene's teacher, Joseph, had been tortured to death right before Lorraine's eyes. Lorraine reluctantly made him one of her eleven Death Knight servants.
