Chapter 227 It’s hard to escape even if you have wings
After leaving Dalaran, and especially after obtaining the complete form of his teacher's eye, Lorraine unknowingly discovered that his hearing had become stronger...
To be precise, he felt that his perception had improved.
Wearing the Mirror of Truth allows one to perceive the subtle flow of magical elements nearby.
You can see even further...
The unique life-detection ability that was once exclusive to the teacher within his body has, after switching bodies, allowed Lorraine to regain control of his body, expanding his detection range to at least 35 yards beyond...
The degree of integration between the two seems to have increased considerably...
Heart to heart...
The Mirror of Truth is worn on Lorraine's face, yet no one else can see it...
It seemed as if it didn't belong to this world at all.
The advantage is that... the conversation between the leader of the pursuers behind them was overheard by its skeleton minions, which were already lurking at the bottom of the lake, and Lorraine could also share the surrounding commotion from afar through the skeleton beasts summoned by the vengeful spirit.
Every word of their conversation reached the ears of both master and apprentice.
Lorraine then realized that Dalaran hadn't taken everyone with them...
A significant number of people were expelled from Dalaran...
Ordinary civilians were brutally murdered by thugs... and those groups of guests from nearby organizations actually participated in this hunt.
A core condition of the Dalaran Neutrality Declaration is that, apart from Horde members recognized by the Sunreavers and Alliance members recognized by the Silver Covenant, all other outsiders must undergo more stringent vetting...
This time, the black market organization that has been entrenched in the sewers for years, engaging in smuggling and underground transactions, is also facing a purge...
The small waterway no longer has secret passages, and its exit is now monitored by the Violet Eye...
A large number of insignificant refugees without legal status or reason for staying were driven away... Before Dalaran teleported to Northrend, the Kirin Tor ordered the relevant personnel to arrange the evacuation of these civilians and guests.
Players can choose to return to the Horde's capital city of Orgrimmar, the Alliance's capital city of Stormwind, or several other major cities on either side via the portal.
The Horde's Undercity (Forsaken's), the Tauren's Thunder Bluff, the Blood Elves' Silvermoon City...
On the Alliance side, there's Ironforge, the stronghold of the Bronzebeard dwarves; Ironforge, controlled by the Council of Three Hammers; the Night Elf sanctuary in a secluded overseas realm; Darnassus, under the protection of the Tree of Life Teldrassil; and the newly joined Alliance draenei Isle of Azuremyst...
With the coordination of the Draenei garrison commander, the Cenarion Council Watchers, and the Stormpike dwarves, a dedicated passage was opened.
Most of the tribe members chose to evacuate with the Queen, while a smaller group stayed in Dalaran with the witch doctor troll ambassador Kalai... They also wanted to understand Dalaran's next plans...
The High Chieftain has heard the elemental wails and warnings echoing from the Earth Ring; it seems a strange, newly discovered ruin in Northrend holds the secrets of life...
Jaina, who volunteered to be their guide, also stopped in Dalaran with Kalecgos, the blue dragon envoy, to continue their discussion about the mess the dragons were in...
The subordinates of the bigwigs and the guests stranded in Dalaran are all safe for the time being.
They are simply about to face new challenges and unknowns on another continent...
Those matters were for the high-ranking officials and heroes of the Horde and Alliance to consider... Even minor figures like Lorraine, who suddenly disappeared from Dalaran, went unnoticed.
It's pitiful that those civilians who were supposedly safely evacuated from Dalaran are now stranded in the Dalaran crater, and this group of poor souls on the shores of Lake Lordamere cannot escape their fate...
The people originally assigned to see the unfortunate man off and protect him turned out to be ruthless executioners in collusion with outsiders...
This group included merchants who had previously sought refuge, nobles fleeing from danger, transient onlookers, and hired adventurers...
They were slaughtered the moment they landed, their bodies kicked into the crater left behind by Dalaran...
The sole survivor was none other than Marcus, a paladin who was preparing to head north to find his old friends from the Argent Dawn... Khadgar advised him not to leave Dalaran, but he insisted on going to the Plaguelands to speak with his friends from the Argent Dawn; that last hope was the key to peace in the North...
Marcus jumped off the train midway and, along with civilians and bystanders, was teleported out of Dalaran...
When he thought he could leave everything behind and go to the Church of Holy Light alone...
The paladin was horrified to find that ordinary people around him were falling victim to gunfire and magic... Marcus looked up and saw that Master Ansrem, the Kirin Tor Chancellor in charge of the evacuation, was simply watching as people teleported from Dalaran were killed...
The mages responsible for guarding the area were actually standing on high ground as sentries...
The Scarlet Lords Tyrande and Fordring, who had come out with Marcus, also seemed like strangers, avoiding the gaze of their savior. They ignored the Scarlet Crusade and bandits slaughtering civilians, robbing them of their possessions, and destroying the evidence.
The bishops of the Holy Light Inquisition, who were previously imprisoned in Dalaran and have now been released, have also changed their previous holy form.
Participating in the trial of the remaining non-human races...
Are the Scarlet Crusade and the Inquisition of Light in cahoots?
Syndicate bandits directly captured members of the Ravenholdt Assassin Guild who were withdrawing from Dalaran, dragging them away to be subjected to inhumane torture. It seemed there was a deep-seated hatred between the two sides...
The Duke of Ravenhold, the owner of Ravenhold Estate, has never been involved in any politics... They are simply paid to do what they are asked to do.
Syndicates were originally militias spontaneously organized by the people of Alterac in the past, but are now also defined as bandits and outlaws.
The two seem to have a long history; Marcus vaguely remembers that the entire Hillsbrad Foothills region, including the people of the Alterac Mountains, had been incorporated into the Kingdom of Lordaeron...
The Syndicate is a key member of the National Salvation Alliance, an organization that first emerged after the rebellion broke out in Stormwind...
Stonemasons' Guild, Thorium Brotherhood, Iron Horse Brotherhood, Mithril Guild... Venture Capital Firm, Goblin Merchants' Guild... These were the organizations of merchants, artisans, assassins, and mercenaries that once roamed between the major duchies and various noble estates...
Unable to escape the shadow of war and the crisis of survival...
The Stonemasons' Guild is now officially designated a rebel organization, and their leader, VanCleef, along with a large group of rebels, are wanted by Stormwind. The Stonemasons' Guild no longer exists, and the Defias Rebellion has ignited war across the land...
Countess Katarina declares that Defias is suspected of kidnapping the King, and all Alliance members are to kill anyone who sees her!
The Thorium Brotherhood has lost its prestige among the dwarves... The Dark Iron dwarves are similarly alienated from the Council of Three Hammers, dissatisfied with the rule of the Bronzebeard dwarves, and the Wildhammer dwarves have even lost their original capital city...
Ironforge isn't as stable and prosperous as it seems on the surface...
The gnome high craftsman is determined to return to Gnomeregan... to cure the strange leprosy virus... but mechanical technology has backfired against the infectious disease, forcing the gnomes to rely on Ironforge...
The Iron Horse Brotherhood has now become the backbone of the Seventh Legion... The Seventh Legion, composed of Iron Horse veterans from the Alliance, is more renowned than the Horde Warchief Kor'kron Elite Guard, but they still remain outside the power circle of the Alliance's upper echelons.
MI7, the Silver Hand, Ravenholdt—these seemingly unrelated organizations are actually all old friends whose members were originally members...
Marcus witnessed firsthand the murder of his MI7 agent and Ravenholdt's bodyguard...
The guards of Ravenholdt Manor seemed to be protecting someone leaving the city. The enemy's target wasn't just theirs; everyone who left Dalaran, and all the survivors on the shores of Lake Lordamere, were killed, except for Marcus who rescued the unconscious...
Marcus didn't have time to explain; he was stabbed in the back by his teammate...
Upon seeing Lorraine, he merely greeted her and ran off... Two fists can't fight four hands; Marcus was no fool, though he possessed unwavering faith in the Holy Light, was benevolent and compassionate, and could attract all things with the Holy Light...
Marcus wouldn't say, but Lorraine and his apprentice wanted to know exactly what had happened...
Are these humans insane?
There are no undead here.
If there is one, it's only one person for now, and that's Lorraine.
Lorraine found himself suddenly surrounded by this group of madmen, right by the shore of Lake Lordamir, which he had just emerged from... Turning around, he saw several dwarves riding griffins hovering overhead above the lake.
Clearly, Lorraine has nowhere left to run in the world...
