Chapter 270 Crossing the Line Again
Eileen was still made of flesh and blood, her body half-human and half-corpse, though most of it was actually concealed by Aegwynn's magic...
The reason Dalaran's purple magic shield couldn't detect Eileen was twofold: firstly, Lorraine and her group had already significantly damaged the foundation of Ambermill's magic array; secondly, Aegwynn's magic protected Eileen and Taylor.
As for Lorraine...
He managed to get through by taking Ambermill on his own, which destroyed the magic circle and reduced the power of the Dalaran shield.
The Supreme Ring and his collection of treasures shielded him from a great deal of magical burning...
It appears safe, but it is actually dangerous.
What appears dangerous is actually entirely under control...
As for whether he would survive a goblin iron bomb, Lorraine wasn't sure. Judging from Eileen's injuries, he seemed likely to be injured as well... If the mage didn't activate ice armor or a magic shield beforehand, some conventional weapons and physical damage would be fatal.
Eileen saved him, that's a fact.
Perhaps it was mutual redemption... or maybe it was to repay Lorraine for rescuing Eileen.
"Hey, wake up, wake up... don't sleep..."
"..."
The teacher suddenly discovered that his apprentice was an oddball, seemingly having absolutely no concept of women... It was unclear whether he was pretending, or had become a ghost with decreased intelligence, diminished hormones, or simply didn't know how to handle the situation.
Lorraine hugged Eileen and shook her again, but this time Eileen couldn't withstand it.
She groaned in pain, unable to open her eyes, seemingly suffering from a broken bone; the metal sheet had damaged her bodily functions.
You can underestimate goblins, but never underestimate goblin bombs...
To learn the skills of goblin engineers, you'll have to spend a fortune to buy their membership cards, which are also time-limited. Goblins are greedy and also like to tinker with unique gadgets.
Lorraine heard from his teacher that besides convenient tools like airships, goblins also possessed terrifyingly powerful goblin harvesters; a single goblin harvester could destroy an entire forest. The output in a few hours was greater than what hundreds of orc laborers could cut down in a day.
It was because venture capital firms and orcs were rampantly logging in Ashenvale that the demigod Cenarius fell.
This left an unhealable hatred and conflict between the Warsong Clan and the Night Elves, as well as their distant relatives, the Children of the Forest.
Goblin bombs are indeed world-renowned and expensive items. It's said that the ancestors of gnomes were originally mechanical lifeforms, but were corrupted into flesh and blood by the Curse of Flesh. Gnomes are naturally adept at tinkering with machinery...
Goblins are similar to them, except their mental state is unstable, making them veritable mad scientists...
Strictly speaking, gnomes, dwarves, and goblins all live in the underground world... Among the Titan creations, records of mechanical life are one of the treasures that the Alliance expeditions most hope to find.
Not to be outdone, the tribe also studied the power of the earth's elements and sought the mysteries of flesh and blood life.
The goblins were a great help.
......
The flesh and blood body is far too fragile.
Pain is one of the weaknesses of all life... The fear of pain can keep people away from danger, but for physical injuries to heal, flesh-and-blood life forms are actually a more advanced product than mechanical life forms...
Humans disagreed with dwarves and gnomes on this point. The night elves, who followed the balance of life, parted ways with the high elves who sought endless power. Orcs, tauren, and the like, who inherited ancestral traditions and enforced primal laws, had their cultures largely ignored, serving only as topics of conversation among the Alliance's people...
The legends of the Forsaken and the Undead are basically a horror story series...
Now, Lorraine is facing a dilemma: how to save Eileen.
......
It was already dark when we started climbing the mountain. Climbing the snowy mountain in the snowy night was a challenging experience, and plans could not keep up with changes.
Lorraine was unharmed; both enemy leaders had been killed...
The current priority is to move forward; keeping a low profile is no longer an option...
Coming up the mountain from a distance was Death's Oath, who had been following Lorraine closely. As for Yurev, Lorraine gave him other tasks. He carefully instructed Yurev to be cautious, and Lorraine still gave Yurev his Plaguebringer's insignia.
An oath of death, to protect Lorraine to the death.
Lorraine didn't want to make too much of a fuss. He always wanted to prove himself and get past the enemy's defenses... but the result was not only the teacher's ridicule, but also the injury to his companion while saving him, which gave Lorraine a huge headache and made him depressed.
The potion could prolong her life, but Eileen's injuries were exacerbated, further slowing down the progress.
Climbing mountains is inherently more difficult than imagined. A straight-line distance of 500 meters might only take a short run. But for a small hill of 500 meters, it would take several times longer. Not to mention the descent, there are also the dangerous monsters and wild animals lurking in the snow-covered mountains...
The environment was icy and the terrain was difficult.
Walking on his own two feet is extremely painful, and now he also has to carry a wounded person on his back...
"Once we reach the Frostwolf Clan at the foot of the mountain, I'm determined to get a Frostwolf mount! I'm willing to pay any price!"
The town of Stanburn is a wasteland, but at the foot of the mountain, a hidden cave leads to the Alteran Valley, where a completely different scene unfolds. The Frostwolf Clan, exiled for many years, has occupied many prime locations in the valley and has thrived for over a decade.
It has been almost twenty years since the Dark Portal opened.
New alliances, new tribes, but war is eternal...
......
"Friend, haven't you crossed the line?"
Concerned about Eileen's injuries and ignoring the syndicate bandits fleeing in all directions, Lorraine prepared to carry Eileen up the mountain.
The Syndicate bandits at the forward camp were blocked by his vengeful puppets. Those who tried to escape down the mountain were all killed by Deathsworn. The tide of the undead surged in, and the Syndicate members were filled with fear and had lost all will to fight.
Here on the mountainside, the banshee is also seeking revenge.
Lorraine released her control, and Lorraine unleashed her skills indiscriminately, slaughtering Syndicate members in a frenzy. The surrounding area was a scene of utter devastation.
In the snow, specks of crimson...
Lorraine was waiting for the area to be cleared before heading directly up to the main ridge trail of Alterac.
But a strange voice came from behind...
Lorraine whirled around, only to find that the vengeful puppet seemed oblivious to him, standing less than three meters away. He tried to urge the puppet to attack, but it couldn't find a target!
Lorraine broke out in a cold sweat...
"who are you?"
Lorraine's fourth awakening of the will of the undead seems to have failed; she only gained two new skills: [Soul Possession] and [Wraith Conversion]. She also gained [Soul Scream].
These are all new spells related to soul control.
There was clearly a person standing in front of him, yet his puppet remained unmoved. Lorraine sensed danger.
A vow of death is still a long way off for him...
"Me? Who I am is unimportant... What matters is that you've crossed the line, necromancer!"
"Did I cross the line?"
Lorraine was baffled. He had climbed this mountain to break through the Syndicate's blockade, detour through Alterac, find the Frostwolf Clan, then descend to Tarren Mill, the Forsaken's military town, and finally fly back to Undercity on a bat...
This plan can be described as crossing the line.
"Out of bounds?"
This sounds familiar... Oh right! During the battle with the Wolf God's offspring at Shadowfang Keep... the giant wolf used the same explanation back then... I didn't understand it then, and that's when my adoptive father's chains broke... his headless horseman rode his headless warhorse against his will towards the Blood Moon...
Since it didn't seem to have any other impact, Lorraine forgot about it.
Now some people are jumping out to say that the line has been crossed. Where exactly is the line?
"Sorry, I don't understand what you're saying. If you want to fight, please wait for my men; they're still down the mountain..."
Lorraine said calmly, but in reality he was secretly touching the Tide Amulet, ready to make a move at any moment!
.......
The speaker seemed to blend into the darkness, almost invisible unless one looked closely. Lorraine sensed him; the other was also observing him.
No sooner had he finished speaking than the other party revealed himself.
It was the same kind-faced shadow archmage who had previously coveted Eileen.
Lorin recognized the newcomer, began chanting an incantation, and immediately unleashed his Frost Finger...
"Wait, necromancer. We're not the enemy..."
......
