Chapter 106 The Leap of Faith
Before Godfrey went up the mountain, the four members of the [Death Whisperer] had already successfully evacuated.
Inside Shadowfang Keep, Lorraine had already ascertained the elves' request...
He sensed that apart from the Night Elf female rogue being relatively polite to him, the attitudes of the druids and elven archers around him seemed rather subtle.
There was a greater sense of disgust and fear than before.
He stared at Lorraine warily.
This made him very uncomfortable.
The teacher was also watching everything inside his body.
The teacher sensed that these night elves were not particularly strong, and their life strength was not much different from that of the archmage Arugal.
The level of magic power is far beyond that...
The elven druids are not expected to exceed level 40.
Only this masked night elf female rogue possessed an unusually high level of vitality... she seemed to be on par with the elite soldiers of the [Hand of Vengeance] legion from Undercity.
It could be an elite level 50 or higher...
The opponent's main strength lies in their agility; thieves excel at stealth, making their actual combat capabilities difficult to detect...
During her journey to Shadowfang Keep, Lorraine accumulated a considerable amount of necromantic energy. Although most of it was absorbed by her right rune eye, at least it leveled up and gained a new skill...
I've recovered about half of my vision...
Although his field of vision had blind spots, and his perception wasn't as sharp as it had been at the beginning—he could even see behind Lorraine...
Now that the Eye of Light has been found, it can only see part of the field of vision ahead...
Perhaps it's because there hasn't been a formal integration.
We still need to find the Eye of Shadow in Dalaran!
Only then can the goal be officially achieved...
.......
The elf's request was simple: to restore the giant wolf to human form...
Although they didn't know how the she-wolf Fenris had done it, they saw Lorraine right there.
The giant wolf attacked him, was knocked away by him in one move, and then transformed into human form.
At the time, the druids thought Lorraine was a terrifying necromancer...
Now that it's been confirmed, he's not too scary, but he is indeed a dangerous person!
He was relatively safe until Lorraine helped the druids save Fenrus...
"Well, Master Lorraine, have you come up with a solution?"
The Watcher nodded in acknowledgment, and Lorraine stared at the giant wolf, lost in thought for a long time...
In fact, after internal discussion, Lorraine and her apprentice concluded that the anti-magic potion that Lorraine obtained from the Grand Alchemist could undo the giant wolf's transformation!
If poison were to be produced at this point, it would easily lead to murder and robbery...
The master and apprentice spent some time figuring out how to fulfill the elf's request in front of everyone.
How can we prevent them from discarding us after we've served our purpose?
This is a dilemma facing the Plaguebringer; at his current level, dealing with this group of druids is very dangerous.
......
"My teacher said that Druids excel at life spells, including the famous Earthbind, Entangling Roots, Hurricane, Moonfire... which can easily restrain enemies. At my current level, without helpers or a skeleton army, and with a powerful rogue leader on the enemy side..."
Lorraine pondered to himself, sensing something was amiss, and turned to the female elf, saying:
"Actually, I don't know how that wolf became one of your kind... but I can give it a try. I'm not 100% sure, so what will happen if I fail?"
"Failed? It's okay. As long as you have a chance to save one of our compatriots, you will be our benefactor. Similarly, even if we don't succeed, I will guarantee your safety."
"Alright then, we'll comply. Could you please turn your heads away?"
"Huh? Why?"
"There's no reason why, this is my secret magic... I can't easily demonstrate it..."
The elven druids and archer guards shook their heads. The watcher chuckled, "We need to maintain the soothing spell. We can't stop, or the giant wolf will revert to its frenzied state!"
Lorraine waved her hand: "It's okay, it'll only take a few seconds."
The latter nodded, signaling the shooter to turn around first.
She and the druids counted down from 5...
"5,4,3,2,1!"
The elven druids stopped casting Soothing spells...
Lorraine quickly turned around, advancing instead of retreating, to confirm that the elves had not sneaked away.
He teleported to the giant wolf Fenrus's mouth and, before the wolf could fully wake up, kicked out one of its sharp teeth.
The giant wolf roared angrily, and Lorraine casually tossed out a small bottle.
"Go away!"
After throwing the anti-magic potion, he turned and ran towards the nearest castle window...
.......
The giant wolf Fenrus was slowly waking up a second ago, but after its teeth were kicked out, it entered a state of frenzied roaring.
He suddenly opened his eyes and let out a huge howl, which was heard even by Lord Godfrey, who had come down the mountain with his men.
The human cavalrymen's expressions changed drastically.
Godfrey immediately had a very bad feeling.
The elven druids wanted to turn around and look immediately, but when they saw that their leader, the Watcher, was still standing with his back turned, seemingly detached from all sorts of nonexistent beliefs and principles, the druids could only patiently refrain from turning around to peek.
The giant wolf could attack them at any moment, but they stood still.
If Lorraine had known they were so trustworthy, perhaps she wouldn't have panicked and fled.
"Master Lorraine? Can we turn around now, Master Lorraine!"
"Lorraine?"
.......
There was no response after several calls, which surprised the female elf watcher.
But the giant wolf's howl lasted for less than a few seconds. Instead of the wolf's frenzied running and leaping, one could faintly hear its trembling, convulsing whimpers...
The night elf had excellent hearing; she seemed to hear Lorraine's fleeing footsteps.
Perhaps we're more concerned about the giant wolf's condition...
The giant wolf whimpered for a moment, then began to shrink rapidly.
After a series of convulsions, it lay on the ground, naked, its long animal hair gone...
Long purple hair covered half his body, but one could still vaguely make out that he was a strong male night elf...
"Success!"
There was no sound behind him, and the Watcher cried out in surprise.
The druid and his guards turned around at the same time, and the female elf was already crouching in front of Fenrus, who had returned to human form.
"Are you alright, senior?"
The long-haired green-haired elf looked up in confusion at the Watcher's mask, and he vaguely saw the markings representing the moon goddess Elune...
May Elune forgive our sins...
The man muttered something and then collapsed again.
The druids were overjoyed, while the druid who had once chased Lorraine in bear form shouted, "Damn it! That necromancer got away!"
"Let's hurry and catch it!"
"Yes, yes, they definitely didn't go far."
......
Several archers and druids prepared to pursue Lorraine.
The Watcher scolded, "What are you doing? Do you think I'm just talking nonsense?"
"But we can't let it go."
"Necromancers are the death of life; they are evil creatures. They bring death, and represent disaster and destruction."
"We must uphold justice!"
......
"He fulfilled his duty. He helped us. He was also a free man with a life!"
The Watcher then angrily retorted, "The Cenarion Circle's duty is not to kill! Nor is it to betray our faith. We are not paladins."
Upon hearing this, the elven druids lowered their heads...
"Alright. Let's get back to Gilneas quickly. Don't get involved in this mess. Alliance reinforcements are arriving soon. Sending them back is our duty!"
The Watcher pointed at the wounded Fenrus the Great Wolf Druid, who had already taken human form...
These members of the Cenarion Council finally came to their senses.
There seems to be a strange aura emanating from Shadowfang Keep, constantly drawing people into a bloodthirsty urge...
The female Night Elf rogue, the Warden, also sensed it.
She blew the horn...
Several giant black hippogriffs soon descended from the sky, and the druids quickly retreated...
Lorraine, however, was running for her life.
.......
"It seems they haven't followed us, teacher!"
"Don't worry about whether they chase us or not, just get out of here. You'll be fine. Don't entrust your life to the mercy of others, especially the enemy!"
"Yes, teacher."
Following the shortcut her teacher had mentioned, Lorraine immediately jumped off the observatory and from Aruga's study table into the corridor.
Looking out the tower windows, I covered the route that used to take me tens of minutes in just a few minutes...
Especially jumping from the top of the high city wall, stepping through the window onto the top...
They quickly returned to the top of the castle gate.
Faced with the closed gate, Lorraine followed her teacher's advice and headed directly towards Ambermill.
Choose the leap of faith!
He leaped directly off the cliff above the castle gate, bound for the edge of Burntwood Village...
Is he trying to commit suicide?
