5. The reclusive sage

Hardcore veteran players who have played the game actually know that Ashenvale is a place with many secrets, here is one of the entrances to the Emerald Dreamland, here is the place where Grom died in battle, here are the sleeping beast dens of the druids, and even on the eastern coast, there are traces of the Naga haunted by Queen Azhara. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

But what are the secrets near the inaccessible Falling Star Lake?

After all, it was three years ago, and Dick's memory was not good enough to be unforgettable, so he could only quietly, according to the guidance of his left hand, towards the northwest of the Falling Star Lake.

The paladin didn't alarm the eldest lady and Liadline who were playing in the water, don't underestimate these two girls, Gianna won't talk about it, she is a lord mage herself, and after the bonus of Ebony Cold, Dick is not necessarily her opponent when it comes to really fighting.

After a long period of adaptation, Liadeline also began to show her extraordinary talent on the path of the Paladin, perhaps due to the addition of the mysterious power in Dick's body, in short, Dick's skills, she basically will, one-on-one fighting, even Dick, if you want to suppress this more and more violent, more and more indifferent to others High Elf beauty, it will take a lot of effort.

But the farther northwest he walked along the shores of Falling Star Lake, the greater Dick's astonishment, for after a stretch of overgrown woods, a path curving upwards appeared in front of his eyes.

Dick's curiosity drove him to step forward quickly, and after rounding a col, the paladin bent down and reached out to touch the ground, and a missing piece of the ancient gem was held in Dick's hand.

Although he couldn't understand the dense runes on it at all, he had been with the eldest lady for so long, and Dick had also learned a little bit of knowledge to distinguish magic patterns.

The gem in his hand was clearly a magic weapon mixed with the style of the High Elves, to be precise, a part of the magic weapon that should be arranged with some kind of magic circle.

Dick held the gem in his left hand, and his peculiar power of order seeped out, and when he turned around in this gem, a dim spark jumped out of his palm, and Dick's eyes immediately narrowed.

This energy counteract reaction is demonic energy! To be precise, the remnants of an energy attack from a demon.

The paladin put the broken gem on the ground, reached out and pulled out the standard longsword of the silver hand from his waist, this kind of small scene, the arrogant little Lori Anvina will not allow him to use the fire of justice.

Dick bent over, following the rudimentary stealth posture of the Assassin professor of the Syndicate, clinging to the shadow of the mountain wall, and quietly made his way to the small peak.

A demon guard, leading two hellhounds with dark green evil iron chains, is walking down the hillside, this 3-meter-tall guy is wearing a green iron helmet, with three sharp horns on the top of his head, and a thick machete behind his back, his upper body is bare, and his body is covered with muscles shaped by magic energy, and he looks like a ruthless character.

But just as it swaggered to the back of the hillside, a small flail of holy light suddenly appeared above its head, and without even a sound of wind, it knocked the large demon guard unconscious.

Dick jumped out of his hiding place, slashed his sword, and with his own strength, slashed off the heads of the two Hellhounds that pounced on him, stabbing the demon guard in the chest before he could come to his senses, and then placing his left hand on top of the demon's head.

"Bang!"

A dull sound of falling to the ground sounded, and the highly compressed power of order and the power of holy light mixed together like a small dagger, piercing the demon's head and making a mess inside.

Dick took out his handkerchief and wiped the green blood from his hands, and it took him 20 minutes to reach the top of the mountain without alerting the demons, but the next step was not something that his clumsy stealth skills could handle.

He poked his head out from behind the boulder on the hillside and took a general look at the situation on the peak, and to his surprise, there was a rare dreaddemon patrolling back and forth in such a small place, and beyond the half-destroyed elven-style room, an ultra-small demon camp was in sight.

These demons are not moving right!

Dick's brows furrowed, this style of hiding is not the way demons fight, the blue dreaddemon should be regarded as the low-level commander of the demon legion, no matter how stupid Malones is, he will not put this kind of demon in this place that is not helpful to the battle situation.

There's weirdness in that house!

Dick sniffled, held the holy deed around his waist in his hand, flipped a few pages casually, his fingers drew a few circles on the page, and the next moment, two golden rays of light rose up in Dick's body.

Although it is possible to release blessing spells without the help of the Holy Contract, after the battle of Quel'Thalas, Dick discovered this problem, with the help of the Holy Contract, the blessing spell released lasts longer and has a slightly better effect than the one released empty-handed.

The paladin no longer hid his form as the golden fist and the golden and blue shield flew over Dick's head, and he jumped out from behind the boulder, his right hand holding the sword diagonally behind him, his left hand clenched into a fist, and slammed it down on the Dreaddemon who was casting the spell.

Although the difference between the Dread Demon and the Dread Demon King is only one word, they are two completely different demons, the latter is the senior commander of the Burning Legion, as a high-level demon, the weakest has the strength of a high-level lord, and the former is just a low-level demon promoted step by step by the small devil, although it is more hideous than the Dread Demon King, but the actual combat power is much weaker.

And this kind of monster with a demon's mouth on its belly is biased towards the French system, and for Dick, who is experienced in PK, it is simply the same as a dish delivered.

The giant flail of holy light flashed through the sky like a meteor, and the brilliant blow not only interrupted the spell that the Dreaddemon was chanting, but also smashed it directly to the ground. Order Judgment has a strong vertigo effect, which is difficult to work on a strong guy, but for this weak chicken, Dick's blow is enough to make it sober after 1 minute.

Solving the Dread Demon, Dick rushed into those low-level demons like a wolf into a flock, with a knife falling in his hand, a knife falling in his hand, and a knife falling in his hand, the power of the lord ensured that every slash he could have a crushing effect, almost one sword at a time, and soon all the demons around him would be wiped out.

When the Dreaddemon woke up, he saw Dick stepping on the head of a demon guard, pulling the blood-stained sword out of the unlucky man's skull, and its subordinates were slaughtered by the sudden appearance of the human in just a minute!

This made the Dreaddemon commander roar angrily, and with both hands brandishing a long whip and machete, he was about to rush over, but the next moment, a sly laugh sounded, the demon's mouth on its stomach opened, and a black light sprayed to Dick's side at a very fast speed, and the paladin only had time to cross his hands and block in front of him, and was swept away by this sudden energy attack.

The paladin rolled into the half-damaged elven house, and when he got up from the smashed table, he saw a white-haired elf in the room where the chains were located, and a beautiful female elf who was holding in his arms, and the breath of life was extremely weak.

The white-haired elf was obviously stunned by Dick's unique appearance, and the two of them, four eyes looking at each other, Dick coughed lightly with black smudges on his face and some burns on his body.

"Ahem, wait a minute, I'll take care of some personal matters!"

As he spoke, the holy energy poured into the long sword, and the ordinary long sword seemed to be ignited by a golden flame, and outside Dick's body, a burning holy flame also appeared, which was a manifestation of his real use of a large amount of holy energy.

Dick jumped out of the room like a berserker, his roar echoing through the mountain.

"Bastard! it hurts!

1 minute and 11 seconds later, Dick walked into the room with a deformed demon head, and sat opposite the white-haired elf, covered in blood, he looked like a corpse collector, but the deformed head that was smashed by a huge force was the trophy left by this rare elite dreadful demon to Dick, which is said to be a good material for making magic weapons.

Dick took his pipe from his bosom, put it in his mouth, and swung his sword to cut the chains that bound the elves, and with the blessing of the mysterious power that Nogannon gave him, Dick opened his mouth and spat out a series of fluent elven words,

"Tell me who you are and how you got locked here. ”

The white-haired elf rubbed his wrist and hugged the female elf in his arms tightly, and he looked at Dick, his pale green eyes sparkling with gratitude.

"Thank you, human, I don't know who you are, but please accept my gratitude, I'm Garrod - Song of Shadows, the elves who live in seclusion, this is my wife Sarah Hill, those demons took advantage of the night to break through the barrier I arranged, and wounded Sarah Hill, if it weren't for you, we'd probably be... In short, thank you, human!"

Dick opened his mouth and exhaled a puff of violet-scented smoke, and his hand clenched violently where the white-haired elf didn't see it.

Garrod! It's Garrod!!

The hidden elven sage, the elven commander of the Demon War 10,000 years ago, led the Cadore coalition army at that time, and blocked the legendary general of the Demon Army's crazy offensive head-on, this guy... No wonder...

Dick had doubts before, although Garrod took his wife into seclusion after the end of the War of the Ancients, but at the time of the Second Demon War, the commander who loved his own race did not appear from beginning to end, until the World Tree was destroyed, the Night Elves lost their eternal life, and his wife was seriously ill, and he returned to Darnassus.

This is undoubtedly not in keeping with his qualities!

What prevented Garrod from participating in the Second Demon War?

Now the mystery has been revealed, when the demon had just invaded the Gray Valley, the Great Demon sent men to imprison Garrod, and I am afraid that it was not until the end of the war that the demon fled in a hurry that Garrod managed to regain his freedom.

As for why the demon didn't kill him.

Dick glanced at the elven sage who was gently wiping his cheeks for his wife with a strange gaze, I'm afraid that Akmund also wanted to convert Garrod into the camp of the Burning Legion, such a legendary commander, if he really joined the Burning Legion, with his excellent war thinking, it would be a disaster for this world.

However, Garrod did not identify Dick, so he was probably still on guard.

Dick pursed his lips, he didn't intend to just dismantle the disguise of the elven sage, but if such a good commander returned to the elf, Dick would not do such a stupid thing.

"Mr. Garrod, you just said your wife was injured?"

Dick raised his brow, he stood up, put his sword back into its scabbard, and held out his hand to Garrod,

"Come with me, then, back to my camp, where there is an experienced priest who can treat your wife, and her condition cannot be delayed any longer. ”

Garrod looked at Dick's outstretched hand, then at the kind-faced knight with his pipe, and finally at his pale wife, who gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand, and held it together with Dick's hand.

A few minutes later, the nervous eldest lady and Liadrin, who had already drawn her phoenix sword and stirred up the holy energy, had just reached the foot of the mountain full of demon corpses, when they saw Dick and a white-haired elf holding his wife walking down the hill.

Dick hugged Miss Gianna who rushed over, nodded to the relieved Liadeline, and then introduced,

"This is the elf who lives in seclusion here, Mr. Garrod, and this is my subordinate. ”

Garrod nodded silently, his gaze lingering on Liadrin's body for a moment, and then indistinctly transformed into a warm smile.

Dick was in a good mood, with the presence of Garrod, it was already a sure thing to connect with the elf high-level, and the first step of the First Expeditionary Force was finally taken.

He looked up at the sky, and the dim light like night made this jungle seem so quiet and beautiful, just like his mood, with Garrod joining the Second Demon War, the situation of this battle will change differently.
