Oryx was assassinated again, and the weapon in the assassin's hand was even more suspected to be the long-missing Salatas, which aroused the attention of Dalaran's side.

After Mrs. Jandis reported the news, only two minutes later, Ronin, the captain of the firefight, personally led the team to conduct a detailed investigation of the manor.

It's a pity that nothing was found, that assassin was very clever, not to mention that he didn't trigger any protective spells, leaving any video data, and even the residual aura was wiped out.

In the end, Luo Ning had no choice but to apply for a batch of expensive magic materials, preparing to use half a month to improve the manor's protective spell array's ability to defend against Shadow and Legendary Stalkers.

While Ronin's mages were busy with their work, Oryx stood in the garden, tending to his wounds with the help of Bridget and the others.

"By the way, Master Ronin, about the tariff......" Oryx, with a bandage on his chest, asked tentatively.

"Rest assured, Dalaran will bear all the upgrade costs, and you don't have to pay for it." Luo Ning smiled reluctantly, and replied weakly.

He had not yet recovered from the wounds he had sustained during the Tenth Legion, and his left hand was hung from his neck with a splint, and he wore a net-like hood on his head to secure the ointment to the wound on the top of his head, and even his neck was held in place by a ring to restrict the movement of the cervical spine.

It stands to reason that he was supposed to stay at Dalaran's home to recuperate.

It's just that the situation in the north is too bad now, and Dalaran needs to monitor the activities of the Scourge in Northrend on the one hand, and on the other hand, he needs to do everything he can to help the Northland countries, and there are really no more people available, so he has to hand over this work that does not require too much energy.

The two wounded and sick stood together, so that they seemed to complement each other.

Oryx sighed when he heard this...... Just don't have to pay for it.

Although he didn't know magic, and he couldn't understand what the spell models that mages carved and woven into the spell array, the kind of magic materials that exuded a unique rhythm piled up on the ground must be worth a lot of money without thinking about it.

"May I ask how much gold is the total value of these magic materials?" Oryx still couldn't hold back after all, and said more.

Luo Ning half-turned, glanced at him, and joked: "It's almost equivalent to a Rivendell collar, just a little more." ”

A chill chilled in Aurix's heart.

Ronin did not linger long, leaving with the evidence gathered here, claiming that Dalaran would do his best to investigate the origin of the assassin and the whereabouts of the suspected Salatas weapon. The new mages remain in Rivendell and will complete the upgrade of the protective spell array in the next half month.

Aurex had no hope of finding the whereabouts of the Assassins, and if Saratas had been that easy to find, he wouldn't have been so legendary. Only when she wants to show her face can others find out about her.

The fire captain who sent Dalaran away, he received a magical summons from Arthas. For this king, who was already anxious about the domestic turmoil, he could naturally say it lightly, and he didn't want to trouble the other party.

Arthas is well-informed, the truth of the way of nature is not as frivolous as Orix said, he must pay attention to his personal safety and health, if not, do not force it.

The Ninth and Twelfth Legions in East Lordaeron were already under the temporary command of General Alfred Abydis, a World War II veteran with experience in commanding 10,000 men, and Oryx did not have to participate in the war on the eastern seaboard immediately, and it was okay to stay in Stratholm to improve the defense for the time being.

In the end, Arthas said that he would send the captain of the guard, Faric, to protect him, and expressed his helplessness. The great Lordaeron, the head of the Seven Kingdoms, could not find a strong man who could protect the kingdom's important ministers more than his neighbors.

At the end of the communication, the palace received a battle report from somewhere.

Arthas almost lost his temper and told the worried Oryx again, but after hearing this, Oryx also gasped.

Brill was attacked from the inside by a gang of traitors. The commander of the 3rd Legion, who was stationed there, was assassinated, and half of the troops preparing to move to the northern region of Tirisfa to stop the tide of corpses were also massively infected by the source of the plague that broke out among the population as they assembled.

Now that Brill has changed hands, the remnants of the army are retreating towards the capital with civilians in pursuit of the undead.

In this regard, Oryx can only say that what should come will always come. This is certainly not an isolated case, and it will happen many times in the future. In the face of the pervasive infiltration and destruction capabilities of the Burning Legion and the Scourge Legion, limited by the times, no matter how well Lordaeron is on the surface, it can be called full of holes.

……

Ten minutes later, in the bedroom.

Oryx sat shirtless on his bed, letting a room full of paladins and priests continue to heal him.

All present were the high-ranking members of the Church of the Light and the Knights of the Silver Hand, who could be named. After hearing about this, they all came with the help of the portal, so that the most anxious Brigitte could only stand in the corner and watch from afar.

Oryx reveals the arrival of this catastrophe.

In people's hearts, he is the medium of the Holy Light to help humanity out of the predicament, a kind of mouthpiece. He is in danger, and of course many people are afraid, what if he can no longer be guided by the Light?

And the matter of Saratas is also closely related to the Church of the Light.

The high-ranking members of the Silver Hand Knights, even if they do not concurrently hold positions in the Church, still have a very high status in the Church. Basically, we know the story of Natalie Selin and her Oblivion Shadow Sect, as well as the missing Ominous Blade.

This ominous blade is not a good sign for the Burning Legion to invade and the Scourge to poison the Northland. So that the high-level who was not on the battlefield and did not count the 100,000 urgent things at hand came to come.

Even Archbishop Benedictas arrived, first treating Orix himself, and then beginning a ten-minute treatment that summoned pure divine energy to wash the wounds on his chest and purify the maggots of tarsal maggots.

The archbishop behaved very naturally, still with that compassionate face, without the slightest flaw.

But Aurex was full of vigilance in his heart.

At this point in time, it is strange that the blade of the Dark Empire of Saratas, apparently in the hands of Benedictas, appeared in the hands of an assassin who came to assassinate him.

In his opinion, there are three possibilities.

The first is that Salatas sensed the situation in the Northlands and left Benedictas on his own, no longer dormant until the Cataclysm was about to begin, as was the case in the original history, before he began to corrupt and induce the archbishop, causing him to degenerate into the notorious Father Twilight. And Benedictas didn't know about it, and the reason why he acted so naturally was that he didn't want more people to know about the fact that he had held Salatas for a long time - after all, he was the only one who knew the secret. When the others are gone, he may stay, and choose someone worthy of trust, and discuss the matter with Oryx;

Or, although the official history does not record the specific time of Benedictas's fall, in fact, as early as this point in time, Benedictas had already surrendered to the forces of the ancient gods, and only hibernate until the period of near the cataclysm came into people's field of vision with the attack of the Emerald Nightmare and Deathwing. The Assassin was instructed by him;

Or, in other words, Salatas, who sensed the change in the situation, corrupted it in advance.

The latter two are the worst outcomes.
