Chapter 266 Asking for blessings
"Thank you, Lord Lorraine, for saving me..."
Once Eileen's physical functions returned to the point where she could move on her own, the first thing she did was thank Lorraine.
Lorraine was momentarily speechless, only letting out a rough, evil laugh, "Oh, I just happened to run into you... I didn't expect it to be you."
......
Lorraine did indeed discover Marcus and Eileen by accident, but he had been paying attention to Marcus the whole time, and Eileen had long been forgotten by the kid.
Eileen, a genius magical girl from Lordaeron, is in the prime of her life as a human woman. However, our Lorraine is utterly devoid of normal human desires; her body has long since lost its basic functions, with only necromantic energy sustaining her entire form...
The teacher inside my body is an old gentleman...
Judging from his lustful gaze towards the Queen and Jaina, it's clear that Rowling, the teacher, has always harbored feelings for the Queen...
......
Strictly speaking, the humans of Azeroth are different from the humans of other worlds...
They are larger in size. Even the common people of Lordaeron are mostly 1.89 meters tall. Some powerful generals and elites are like they have taken a stimulant, several times larger than ordinary people. Can you believe that there are three-meter-tall human strongmen?
Groups of giants, each ten meters tall, are ancient creatures, the earliest creations of the Titans, possessing almost superhuman physical abilities.
Humans are relatively the most vulnerable; in reality, orcs, elves, and tauren are much larger. High elves and night elves are a bit more slender, but they are all of volleyball player size.
Even the so-called dwarves are close to 1.7 meters tall; only the gnomes seem genuinely small, not even as tall as a dragon's toe...
They are all corrupted Titan creations, descendants of the Titan Guardians afflicted by the Curse of Flesh. At least in the history of Azeroth, there is a traceable lineage of life originating from a creator; the legend of the creator has always existed and remnants remain...
The dwarves have always been dedicated to finding the treasures of the Creator. They know their ancestors were earth spirits, and they have a strong reverence for them...
Comparatively speaking, races with long lifespans and ancient existence naturally place greater emphasis on inheritance and history.
......
Eileen is also a very beautiful woman with a curvaceous figure and a healthy appearance...
Overall, her privileged life in Dalaran gave her the air of a noble lady... delicate skin, bright eyes and white teeth, and a stunning figure... However, all of these qualities vanished with the arrival of war and plague.
She was merely one of the more outstanding apprentices of the Dalaran mages.
To gain true status in Dalaran, one needs not only connections and background, but also strength and talent. Mage apprentices who fail to successfully advance their class or advance in rank are likely to remain only as ordinary peripheral servants or clerical assistants...
Eileen was already very lucky to have met Master Joseph and been chosen by him as his disciple!
......
After expressing her gratitude, Eileen fell silent, awaiting Lorraine's instructions.
Eileen seemed to know that Lorraine was different from him; nominally Lady Elwin's disciple, the Plaguebringer Lorraine was actually a full member of the Council of Tirisfal... Eileen glimpsed the original Kirin Tor insignia on Lorraine's body...
She remembered Lady Elwin's instructions; the trip to Dalaran was not only a test for Lorraine, but also for Erin and Taylor...
Lorraine has a lot of insignia on him.
He wished he could wear rings on every single one of his fingers; after all, he didn't feel any discomfort. The withered, shriveled, and crooked undead torso and limbs were indeed unsightly, and Lorraine's robes looked like an apron, a far cry from the magnificent image of a grand mage he had once imagined...
Looking like a hunched old lady, Lorraine couldn't understand why her teacher insisted that necromancers were the most handsome!
He had seen ordinary human mages cast spells, and he had also seen Arugal and Thule chant incantations... After understanding the differences in hand seals and the basic principles of guiding magic, the movements were entirely a matter of personal style...
A wide variety of techniques are involved, but a deep understanding of the composition and flow of magical elements, and mastery of spellcasting and empowerment are key...
With the Mirror of Truth, Lorraine seemed to have stumbled upon the secrets of magic.
After several minutes of silence, Lorraine watched Eileen remain motionless, and Eileen dared not move either.
Wearing the Mirror of Truth, Lorraine could see through all pretenses. Eileen had no privacy in front of him, yet he felt nothing... Perhaps the undead do not have the worldly desires of humans.
The teacher's frequent praises and obvious excitement indicated that the teacher within him had completely entered a state of sagehood...
While admiring a priceless treasure...
"teacher?"
"What? Stop messing around... at least it's a volleyball!"
"?"
The evil old wizard...
The teacher ignored Lorraine, so Lorraine could only focus her attention on Marcus.
He was conflicted... Should he wake Mr. Marcus?
Or should we just turn around and leave with Eileen, letting the ungrateful bastard fend for himself?
"How about we send Mr. Marcus to Southshore?"
"no!"
Before Lorraine could make a decision, the master seemed to realize something. He objected to his apprentice doing something so foolish. To explain the situation to his apprentice, the master spoke at length, recounting Hillsbrad's history—its location at the crossroads of several kingdoms, a focal point of contention between various powers in the past.
This is even more true now, with Southshore and Tarren Mill being absolute enemies!
The two sides are very close to each other. Following the stream flowing down from the Hinterlands Plateau, Tarren Mill is at the foot of the hill, and Southshore is at the end of the river by the sea!
This place was once a human settlement, only slightly less developed than the city of Stratholme to the north.
In the Hinterlands, the Wildhammer dwarves and the Hinterlands troll tribes have frequent conflicts in the northwest corner, with the Wildhammer Fortress at Ark's Nest being the main stronghold... The forest trolls have been forced to live by the sea. The relationship between the Badtooth Village and the Horde is ambiguous... but they are still reluctantly willing to accept Warchief Thrall's help.
Tarren Mill is now a ruin, occupied by the Forsaken in order to connect it to Hammerfall in Arathi Highlands.
In order to support the battle in Arathi Basin!
At the same time, they assisted the Frostwolf Clan... blocking the humans from Southshore in front of them.
Southshore is firmly in Stormwind's hands. Ships cannot sail there, mainly because the surrounding waters are not safe, and there are dangerous undercurrents in many places in the Endless Sea.
Under unsuitable hydrological conditions, the safety of Nanhai Town is also not guaranteed.
Comparatively speaking, the Horde has been on the offensive in the north, and the dreadlord Varimathras has indeed been sparing no effort in launching attacks against humanity.
Battles raged in Alterac Valley and fought for control of Arathi Basin.
In a life-or-death situation, you rescued the highest-ranking commander of Stormwind and sent him back to human territory. Isn't that blatant treason?... And even if you were to do it, it shouldn't be done by the Plaguebringer.
There are at least two big shots watching you in Undercity right now...
By doing this, you're giving people something to talk about; you really aren't afraid of not being able to clean up your mess.
Completely clueless.
......
Lorraine naturally listened to her teacher.
But he didn't think that far ahead; he had simply saved his friend. He was worried that if left unattended, the friend wouldn't be safe there. Sending him back to South Sea Town was simply because he felt that way someone would be able to take good care of him.
"They don't need your help. They have a beautiful woman by their side! Marcus rescued them, what are you, an Unsullied, worrying about? Hurry up and get out of here. If you dawdle any longer, the enemy will realize something's wrong, and it'll be harder to leave. Have you forgotten we're running away? The human camp over there isn't far; the bandits must know their hideout will be exposed, that's why they moved..."
indecisive...
Drag your feet.
The standard for the weak...
As a strong person, you must be decisive even if you are wrong!
I was scolded, mainly because I disturbed the teacher's enjoyment of beauty...
"Eileen, come with me. Let's go back to Undercity."
"Yes, my lord."
Eileen had no objections, glancing at Marcus out of the corner of her eye...
Lorraine felt uneasy, but since her teacher had already reprimanded her, she figured she might as well get her revenge. This time, she had saved Mr. Marcus. Plus, she had let him and Tyran leave Ambermill last time; she had done more than enough!
The plague messenger gritted his teeth, grabbed a bunch of grass, and covered Marcus up completely, out of sight, out of mind.
Lorraine destroyed the cellar door.
He left the weapons he had picked up next to Marcus... a few swords and shields, and also made some magical bread and water and set them aside. He left behind a complete set of armor and clothing, as well as some extra potions and bandages.
After thinking it over, Lorraine took out the Silver Hand Badge of Honor, the Scarlet Crusade, which she had received from Mr. Marcus sixteen days ago, and gently placed it in Marcus's hand.
He gently shook his head: "Good luck to you..."
