Somewhere in the city of Dalaran, inside a mage tower.

"Dear, where are you going?" The sleepy beauty on the bed asked, she lazily stretched out her snow-white arms to suppress the brocade quilt that was slightly lifted because the people around her got up, covering the infinite spring light below.

"It's okay! You continue to sleep. The man who had already rolled over and got out of bed turned back and softly comforted his wife. But his movements were diametrically opposed to his soft words, and he eagerly and quickly put on his dressing gown and headed for the private study next door. Entering the study, he skillfully took out a Mithril box from the hidden compartment on the bookshelf and opened it almost without thinking.

On the black velvet inside the Mithril box, a red gem was shining brightly, and the sound of a dragon's roar was faintly heard in it.

"Sure enough...... It's not a delusion......" The man smiled wryly and rubbed his short red hair, which had slept heavily, put on his robe neatly, and took his staff.

"Really, don't you need me to go with you?"

He looked back at his wife in pajamas standing against the wall and smiled. "No, it's not dangerous, it's just a little rushed. Don't worry. ”

After saying that, he didn't even have time to go to the public teleportation hall, so he directly recited the teleportation spell. A white arcane light flashed, and the man had vanished in place.

"Really......" his wife grumbled softly, "probably only that guy's business would make him so excited." Hmph......"

She threw herself back into the bunk room in a bit of a rage, but she didn't feel sleepy. The long, pointed ears quiver slightly.

The voice just now was really not an illusion. It's a dragon's roar, right?

North of the Hillsbrad Hills, in the snowy Alterac Valley.

The behemoth, who was sleeping in a hole somewhere, opened his eyes and slowly paced out of the shelter.

"The roar of the dragons...... I don't know which one it is? Well, although it has nothing to do with the purpose of my trip. But let's go and have a look......"

The behemoth flapped a pair of huge wings. Slowly flew into the sky.

Although there were no stars tonight, the beautiful scales on his body could still be faintly recognized in the reflection of the snow, and they were as charming as sapphire.

It seems that tonight's lower city of Dalaran is not destined to be a peaceful night.

And these things. As the initiator, Sia is completely ignorant of the series of changes she has caused.

She was now carefully hiding in the wreckage of a dwelling that could only be faintly seen under the city of Dalaran.

Said to be wreckage, of course there is no roof. All that remains of the building is the base of the house and the ruins of the two crumbling but supporting each other. And Sia is taking advantage of the shadow formed by the angle formed by these two broken walls, carefully hiding herself here.

"I don't know...... Who could that person be......? And, how can I tell if that person is the one I'm waiting for? Thea leaned into the crack in the wall and looked out, squeezing her hands uneasily and muttering to herself.

Soon a figure appeared in her sight.

It was a tall man in a violet robe. It was the most common and common robe of Master Dalaran. The man held a staff in one hand and a red, glowing gem-like object in the other, and muttered as he looked around the area.

"It seems like it's here. That's right! But what about people? ”

Is that the person?

Thea narrowed her eyes and secretly observed the mage in front of her in the darkness. However, she quickly made up her mind.

Because she couldn't think about it anymore. Through the cracks in the planks, she saw a red fire in the distance from where she was hiding. And that direction was where the Lordamire asylum was when she came. This shows that Simon should have succeeded and finished the mission without a hitch. In that case, it shouldn't take long for Simon to find out that she's gone.

It's okay if it were someone else, but with what Simon knew about him, he would never leave without finding her.

And Thea didn't want Simon to know what she was doing now.

It's a pity that at this time, Xia didn't know that Simon had discovered the clue earlier than she expected.

At this time, the mage of Dalaran not far in front of Xia also seemed to have noticed the fire in the distance. There was a hint of hesitation on his face - it was time to rush to the Lordamire asylum where the fire had started. Or stay and continue to search for the person who gave the signal.

Thankfully, he hesitated for a moment, and just as he hesitated in the direction of Lordamir's asylum, Thea flashed out of hiding.

"Wait a minute!"

Hear a voice coming from behind you. The mage finally turned around in surprise.

"So...... Is that the one who just gave the signal? …… Lady? The staff in his hand shimmered red, reflecting Thea's appearance. And after seeing Xia's appearance, he frowned faintly, and seemed to be a little suspicious. "Forsaken?"

"Yes, it's me!" Sia said urgently. The trepidation in her heart forced her to hurry up and finish what Valastaz had told her. "Yes......"

"Wait!" As she spoke, the mage's expression changed dramatically. With a wave of his hand, a magical explosion exploded around him. The wind whipped up by the strong impact and made Thea fall backwards to the ground, and she hurriedly covered her head and face with her arms.

"Mantra. Shield! ”

As her golden shield spreads to protect herself. An icy dagger silently stabbed out from behind the mage.

"Be careful!" Xia didn't have time to apply the shield spell for the mage for a while, so she could only remind her loudly.

The corners of the mage's lips curled in a contemptuous curvature.

"A character like you. Want to sneak up on me too? ”

"What a big breath!" The dagger-wielding assassin smirked. The dagger in his hand had already pierced the mage's neck.

Thea was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

But there was no joy on the Assassin's face.

"Damn it!" The feeling from the dagger in her hand told her that she had stabbed only the remnant of the mage.

So. What about real mages?

The Assassin scrambled to search for his target, only to see a huge fireball!

"Flame Blast!"

The mage was already standing ten yards away, proudly putting away the staff in his hand. With such a distance and such a fast spell casting, he has absolute confidence, and this blow will definitely not be able to escape from the assassin who dares to assassinate him!

"Boom!" The Fireblast hits the target with a dull explosion sound.

As he expected, the female assassin was shot directly in the chest by the Flame Blast. Even though she reacted quickly and crossed her hands to protect her heart, she was still knocked to the ground by the Flame Blast. The Flame Burst exploded her flesh and skin, and the flames instantly vaporized the blood. The pain was so great that the Assassin lost even the strength to wail, and he lay on the ground like a dying fish, only his head could move slightly, and he gasped greedily for air, but soon he was out more and less in and in.

The air was filled with the smell of burnt flesh.

Thea looked at the unknown mage Dalaran in horror.

From the Assassin's appearance after he was stopped by Shia and he began to force himself out with a magic explosion, to dodging the Assassin's critical blow, and then calmly killing the Assassin with a fire blast counterattack. It all sounds slow, but it's just a few breaths.

Thea recognized the female assassin lying on the ground, even though half of her face had been licked off by the flames. But judging from her dress and body shape, she is vaguely the female forsaken who was left behind with her. If Xia is not mistaken, the elite assassins who followed Simon to carry out the beheading plan this time were at least the seventh order. The mage who discovered the sneak attack of the seventh-order assassin in an instant and made a counterattack and killed in seconds, how strong is his strength?

However, what puzzled Xia even more was why the female assassin followed her here. Is it a coincidence behind all this or is someone manipulating?

But I don't know why Xia is sure that if there is a manipulator behind the scenes, that person will definitely not be Simon. With the style of Eamon, he should have knocked her unconscious and brought her back at the beginning of the discovery that she wanted to leave, instead of patiently waiting for her to connect with others before killing them to fish in troubled waters.

Here, Thea is still thinking about this series of changes. Over there, Master Dalaran had slowly walked to her side.

"You're the one who summoned you?" The mage's voice was gentle, but the staff in his hand was quietly aimed at Xia. The jewel of the head shimmered red, and it seemed that as soon as he judged that Xia was lying, he would immediately kill it without mercy.

"It's me!" Thea withdrew her gaze from the female assassin on the ground, looked up at the mage and asked, "But how do I know if the person I'm waiting for is you?" ”

Surprisingly, the mage was not annoyed by her straightforward questioning, but the corners of his mouth rose slightly. He reached out and handed the hand holding the ruby to Thea.

"This is a token from my side, if you also have a token, then take it out. As you get closer, the brighter you become. He paused, and then continued, "Otherwise, the area under the city of Dalaran is not large, nor is it small—what do you think I found you on?" ”

Thea glanced at the red gem in his hand, and felt that it was indeed indescribably similar to the piece in his hand.

As she said, she spread out the token of Valastaz in her hand. Sure enough, as the red shard approached the gem in the mage's hand, the dark red light of the shard gradually brightened.

Both finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Great, ma'am. None of us looked for the wrong person. But...... Here," the mage said, glancing at the female assassin on the ground, who was still breathing. "It doesn't seem to be the place to talk, would you mind talking to me in a different place?" (To be continued)
