Varian was furious on his throne.

His most relied on advisor, Grand Duke Berval of Stormwind. Vortagan disappeared in an unknown way, along with the dragon head of the black dragon princess Onexia at the gates of Stormwind.

Although the nobles were silent under the king's authority, the small citizens at the bottom didn't care.

For a while, various versions of rumors were rampant.

Some people say that the Grand Duke is actually the real accomplice of the Black Dragon Princess, and when he saw that his deeds were about to fall, he stole the Black Dragon's head and went to join the Black Dragon Army.

Some people say that the duke's disappearance is the revenge of the Black Dragon Legion, and they are especially angry after they get back the head of their princess. And the palace was well defended, so it was angry with the duke.

It is also said that all this is a good show arranged by the king to cover up people's ears, in fact, the king sent MI7 to secretly execute the duke, and the disappearance of the black dragon head is just to blame, intended to divert attention.

Stormwind is coming again, and the whole city is on alert.

……………………………………

The Hippogriff, unconscious with dark energy, flew and flew towards the distant sky, through the night, through the dawn, until exhausted before landing on an empty wasteland.

"Let me see, what did Twilight guide me?" A woman's hoarse voice rang out.

The Hippogriff looked at her warily and let out a low cry of menace.

Not far away, a Forsaken woman walked slowly, dressed in a purple bone mage robe, with a headband studded with purple gems on her head, and a bone staff in her hand, her hair glowing green.

"Little thing, don't make a fuss...... the woman raised her staff menacingly to the horned eagle. At this time, she finally saw Xia, who was shrouded in a thick dark energy.

"Ah...... Yes...... Praise Twilight," the woman smiled as she threw up her hands and reached for the Hippogriff. "Alright. Come back with me, little one. Be good...... If you don't want to be eaten clean by the Sagron satyrs......"

The Hippogriff fluttered in horror.

The woman waved her staff impatiently, and a burst of green light came from the head of the staff. Under the light of this magical light, the horned eagle leaned down in fear, not daring to move any more.

"This is the obedient good man." The woman smiled eerily and pulled the horned eagle beast towards her abode.

When Thea opened her eyes in a daze, there was a strangeness in front of her. The past seems like an unreal dream. And the figure in front of her gradually became clear. It's a woman of the Forsaken. She couldn't help but panic, there weren't many Forsaken in Kalimdor.

And when she woke up, the woman seemed very happy.

"Where is this? How did I end up here? Thea asked, confused. She didn't think the Hippogriff would be able to fly across the Endless Sea, and, she remembered, she was headed northwest of Theramore. So where is it?

The woman giggled at her question, and the laughter was high-pitched. But there was no malice. "That's what fate will do, Miss. But with so many questions, which one should I answer to you? She seemed to think for a moment, then smiled and pointed at herself. My name is Willow and I'm just like you. It's a forsaken. This is a bleak place. ”

"Bleak land?" Xia couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly, this is really a good name for her now. "That'...... Or in Kalimdo, right? ”

"Of course. I found you in the wasteland not far from here. When I found you, you were filled with dark magic. Your horned eagle seems to be frightened by you, and the poor little thing seems to have been flying exhausted before it landed. But don't worry, it's resting in the pen at the back of my house. ”

She took a bowl of herbs from the table next to her and handed it to Xia. "Drink this first, it will make you feel better."

Thea looked at her hands, still shrouded in the dark shadows. Thereupon. She took the medicine bowl from Willow's hand, took a sip, and then poured it down.

"If it weren't for the fact that you were of the same race, I wouldn't have saved you."

"Thank you, Willow." Thea put down the bowl and looked at her hands silently. She could feel it. The light in her body had disappeared completely, and she couldn't feel it at all. Years of reliance were lost, and although she knew in her heart that the shadow power that voice had given her was bound to be stronger than her holy light, she still couldn't hide the loss in her heart.

Become the Forsaken...... Now even the Light is gone. She felt like she was at a loss for a moment.

"What's your name?" Willow sat beside her. She carefully examined Thea's face hidden in the darkness, and her eyes showed a look of great satisfaction.

"Thea...... "Thea looked up." How did you end up living here, Willow? Won't the people here reject you? ”

Willow laughed, "Bleak land...... As the name suggests, it is a wasteland, uncultivable, and several of the minerals that produce them are occupied by the centaurs, the native inhabitants of the area. They are savage and belligerent, and there are constant conflicts between their kind. It is even more intolerant of outsiders. It's not a great place to live, girl. ”

"But why do you live here alone?" Chiana said.

Willow whispered softly, with a hint of pride in her tone. "I naturally have my reasons."

Since she said this, Xia was inconvenient to ask, and after thinking about it, she changed the topic: "That...... Willow, when am I going to be back to normal? ”

Willow raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Normal? Is this normal for you? Your shadow power is the strongest I've ever seen. The Shadow Priest is like that, if you get used to it. ”

"Shadow Priest ......" Thea remembered the Shadow Priest she had seen occasionally, but they were not usually haunted by dark energy. She asks Willow her question.

"That's because their cultivation is not enough." Willow scoffed at this. "It's like the Holy Priest's dependence on the Light, the Shadow Priest's ...... The dependence on dark energy is also very large. But the dark energy itself is much more powerful than the Light. The body carries more ground, and the damage to the body is great, but if it is less, it must be saved. Like you, the Shadow is so strong that it overflows beyond its reach, and is rare even among the Forsaken. ”

"Why?" Thea was a little puzzled: "Are there many Shadow Priests among the Forsaken?" ”

"yes...... The dead themselves have a stronger affinity for the Shadows than the Light, and, on the day of regeneration. Resentment and unwillingness will promote the energy of dark energy. It is not uncommon for many Light Priests to become Shadow Priests. Willow said calmly. And, you know, the food of the forsaken is comparatively ...... Don't pick. If it's a pharmacist, it's better, and you can dispense potions to neutralize the corrupted parts, otherwise this depraved process will be very fast. And you know, when you become a Shadow Priest, you're not much different from us Warlocks or Mages - you're warriors rather than healers, so the Queen has always been bothered by this. ”

"Verlo, you're a warlock?"

"yes, what's wrong?" Willow looked at her.

"Then why do you know so much about the priest?"

"Because ......," Willow smiled, "this is my research topic." ”

"That'...... Can you heal me? Thea asked her hopefully. For himself in such a form surrounded by shadow energy, no matter how much Verlo's praise is overflowing. But she was still not used to it.

"What if...... If you have to be cured......" Willow frowned, "I can try." But I can't guarantee it. ”

"It's okay, please try it." Sia seems to have grasped a life-saving straw from drowning. "In any case, it can't get any worse than it is now."

Willow sighed softly. Just as she was about to say something, a loud and loud voice came from outside the door.

"Willow! Willow! ”

Willow frowned angrily. He patted Thea on the shoulder. "I'll take a look."

Willow walked out of the hut and began to talk to the people outside.

Far away, Xia only heard a few vague words in the big voice, "What? …… That's not going to work! ”

The loud voice shouted excitedly. "You're in breach of contract! Lady! ”

Thea couldn't sit still, and she hurried out the door. "What's wrong, Verlo?"

"Nothing." Willow sneered: "It's just that I promised him what I promised him now, but now I don't want to do it." ”

Sia didn't have time to say anything. A green figure had rushed in front of her like a gale.

"She's the reason you rejected me?" The voice came from a position below Shia's waist.

Chia then noticed that Verlo's conversation partner was a goblin.

"Uh, hello."

The goblin didn't bother to say hello to Xia in circles, and he directly interrupted Xia's words.

"Long story short, friend, time is money. We are the reputable Kizelton caravan and I am the leader of the caravan, Cork. We're going to get the goods out of the hell uh every week...... Delivered to uh...... You know the trade secrets! The goblin jammed a few times. Then he continued, "We have a long-standing relationship with this esteemed lady Willow, and she will help us through those vicious and vulgar ...... The point is not to give money!! ”

Saying this, the goblin stomped his foot a few times in anger, obviously thinking of something very unpleasant to him, and his green face turned red, and he gasped for several breaths before continuing. "The domain of those evil centaurs. You know. It's not easy to find a suitable bodyguard in such a ghost place. ”

Thea was confused, what the hell was this goblin talking to her about? What does this have to do with her?

Willow grew impatient, too. "I'll come on, because I'm going to entertain you, so I'm not going to escort you this time."
