Dalaran is a prosperous city protected by the spell of mages, and because of its geographical location and status as a mage, it has become the most special city in human society at this time.

It is not only the dream land of mages, but also the place of peace that ordinary human civilians crave the most, and it is also a place of indulgence enjoyed by nobles.

Without the destruction of Dalaran, if you don't look at a series of Kenrito-dominated areas led by Violet Castle, it would be a literal capital of pleasure in other places.

The laws here are naturally skewed towards the mages, and because most of the mages are from noble backgrounds, the laws here are naturally skewed towards the nobility. At the same time, because it is so prosperous, it has a natural attraction to civilians, and it is also a dream place for ordinary people.

The only people who are not welcome here are the royal families and members of the royal family of a few kingdoms.

Dalaran is a popular weather vane in the human world; Dalaran was the largest transit point for trade among the northern human nations; Dalaran was also the cultural capital of mankind at this time.

It is a huge city with a permanent population of more than 200,000, a population of more than 300,000 near the city, and a daily floating population of more than 200,000. During this time period, Dalaran is undoubtedly the most prosperous city.

Under the prosperity, darkness will grow.

Out of the reach of mages and city administrators, the gray-black area known as the "Dalaran Sewers" is occupied by some of the smartest, most cunning, and most stealthy thieves from the human world.

Moros is one of them.

With a smart brain, powerful equipment, and excellent skills, Moros is a newly rising star in the "Dalaran Sewers", and he has attracted a large number of thieves and gangsters to run rampant in the gray and black area of Dalaran.

However, at this time, the sewer star, holding a piece of paper, was touching his head, a little overwhelmed, and the eyes and eyebrows that only appeared on his scarf-wrapped face were also a little wrinkled.

"Boss? What's wrong? What is it that makes you like this? A henchman whispered beside him.

Moros shook his head.

"Boss, is the Sands Party stealing our territory again?"

Moros shook his head anyway.

This time, without waiting for his subordinates to ask questions again, he crumpled the paper in his hand into a ball and stepped on the ground before he spoke: "That's not it. Those cubs have been scared by us, and they have not dared to reach out to this side lately. Come on, little ones, come here. I have a good deal here that makes money, come over. ”

Dozens of excellent thieves, gangsters, and thieves hurriedly approached the boss. When everyone should be able to hear him, Moros said, "There's a mage going to buy a bunch of owls!" Let's go catch the owl! ”

"Catching an owl? We're not hunters, we're thieves, we're stalkers! Boss, how can we do such a thing as a farmer and a hunter. ”

"That's right! And there are no owls in the city, only in the mountains and in the wild. ”

"I caught owls when I was a kid. It's a tough beast to catch. They fly very high and fast, and they only appear at night. ”

"That's right! Some breeds are still terrifying, and even the hilly lynx is their prey! Boss, why do you suddenly want us to catch owls? ”

“……”

Since they are all gangsters, thieves, and thieves, these guys also admire Moros's skills. But in the case of danger or unprofitability, this disorderly and chaotic person cannot be 100% obedient, and of course will have his own voice.

In response, Moros quietly stretched out a finger, "A gold Dalaran coin." A live owl, the mage bought it for one Dalaran gold coin! ”

This sentence suddenly made the little ones "boom", and the sound became lively again.

"It doesn't matter if it's gold or not. I'm just a natural hunter, so let's say, boss, how many do you need? ”

"Boss, can an owl really sell for a Dalaran gold coin? Are you sure? ”

"Where to sell? I'm going to catch it right now! ”

"Careless, boss. There are two young owls who are immoral and come to my house every day to harass them, and they still don't listen to me when I persuade them! I'll go back and catch them now! Boss, you wait! ”

“……”

Driven by interests, the thieves are boiling. An owl and a Dalaran gold coin, what kind of fairy price is this?! The risk of thieves chopping their hands is to steal, and they can only touch a few gold coins at a time.

Now catching an owl can be exchanged for a gold coin, so a fool won't do it!

Moros smiled, he knew it would be this reaction. Although I don't know how the little master came up to catch the owl, could it be taken to eat meat? He still carried out his master's instructions, and tried to catch as many live owls as he could and give them to his master.

"Alright, alright! Come all over, it's true! A living owl, the younger the better, worth one gold dallaran! An owl egg, if it is good, can be sold for 20 silver Dalaran coins! After I got caught, I exchanged it for money. ”

"Remember, live! Alive! I don't want a dead owl! Go now, I'll just need 2,000 live owls, or 5,000 good owl eggs! Go, go! ”

The thieves dispersed and left the city to catch owls.

The other side.

Orondo Sephorosa unveiled his new idea to his friends.

"Domesticated owls? Let them be pets or messengers......" Kel'thugad frowned, thinking about the possibilities.

Owls are large birds, and in Azeroth they are more intelligent and powerful than their counterparts on Earth. In the more mysterious legends of the West, the owl is even a messenger of the gods and a protected animal for the Night Elves.

Orondo now proposes to use magic to domesticate owls on a large scale, and to domesticate these clever and powerful birds into mage's pets or messengers.

"Think about it!" Orondo confides in his friends.

"Every month, on the day of the release of Sephorosa's Secrets, thousands of owls fly out of us and fly to the homes of the various mages who have ordered the monthly magazine, and deliver them to their doors! I don't have to send them one by one! ”

"And the clever owl, with the help of magic, can also appreciate some simple requirements of humans. In the future, we can do our own express logistics, and we can send some small express delivery or help people deliver letters through owls. ”

"They can fly much faster than messengers can walk on the ground or ride horses."

"What? What is Courier? Oh, courier is to help people deliver things, and then collect money, hmm...... It's about the same as the messenger. ”

"The elite of those owls, the smartest and most brilliant owls, may be used as mages' pets. No matter how bad it is, there are many nobles who are willing to buy such pets! ”

"And...... Kel'thugad, don't you think owls and cats are actually very similar? They're flying cats! ”
