Aurex glanced at the other party.

During this time, he came to the inn to change things, and often met this young man who was quite similar to the Khadgar in his impression. After going back and forth, he became more and more sure that this guy was Khadgar.

But this is the first time the two have spoken to each other.

"No, you recognized the wrong person." Khadgar or anyone else, he didn't want to have anything to do with each other, so he pushed open the door of the inn and entered the rainy night.

"Wait, take this. I don't think the rain will stop for ten days and half a month, so it's used to warm up. ”

Khadgar did not chase him, but the innkeeper did, handing him a small barrel of spirits, with a pair of leather boots and a knife tied with an oilcloth.

The innkeeper is a nice guy and has always taken good care of Oryx.

"Okay, thank you." He nodded and left the inn.

The village outside Karazan is not large, and in addition to the main buildings such as inns and blacksmith shops, there are several simple houses built later, which are very simple.

The rain was pouring and the roads were muddy, and Oryx headed north, away from Karazan and into the woods to the north.

As usual, as soon as he entered the forest, several "ghost fires" appeared dozens of meters away, and when he took a step forward, the "ghost fire" took a step back, and kept hanging from a safe distance.

Orix was not afraid, picked up a stone from the ground, weighed it in his hand, and threw it out with his round arm, which happened to hit the "ghost fire". Hearing only a wail, the "ghost fire" fled in the wilderness.

It wasn't a ghost fire, it was the eyes of a giant timberwolf.

During these days, in order to exchange for the necessities of life, he had no less idea of fighting the timberwolves, and he was about to kill all the wolves nearby, and naturally became the most wanted criminal in the wolf pack.

In a "30v1" scuffle, Orix kills half of them, and then the wolves don't dare to mess with him anymore and run away without a trace. However, this forest is rich in abundant fruits, and there are many herbivores, and the few who have taken him as prey are members of the wolf pack that has just migrated from afar in the past few days, and they always want to touch him, the head snake of the land.

When he returned to his shack in the leeward place, he took off his soaked clothes and wrung them a few times, added a few thin twigs to the fire that was still igniting, and sat down. Picking up the few taut wolf skins tied to the wooden branches on the fire, he picked up a bowl of a fishy mixture of animal fat and brain pulp, and got busy.

The hides are stiff, like hard boards, and must be tanned to become soft, which is conducive to sales and secondary processing. Of course, nitrate is the best way to tann fur, but nitrate is not available to everyone, and in this case, smoking and oil tanning are the more common methods of tanning - even in the era before the Auris crossing, there were still many old stubborn people who believed that the best leather was tanned by the "oil tanning method".

After smoking, the fur has softened slightly, and the wolf brain pulp and fat that were applied before leaving have been half dry. Put the mixture in the bowl on the fire and heat it, stir well, and then rub it on the skin, and rub and beat it with stone chips.

This is how Aeryx made money during this time. Make do with it, at least in exchange for the most basic necessities of life, enough for him to live here. He didn't want to get better, he just fooled the one-year deadline of the mission.

This is the first year of the Black Gate calendar, and it is still two years before Medivan is discovered and killed by Khadgar after a wisp of soul control by Sargeras, which in turn leads to an imbalance of unmanaged Karazan energy, and the entire Headwind Trail and the southern Elwyn Forest are reduced to a barren land shrouded in darkness all day long.

In the past two years, the Stormwind Kingdom and the Orcs have been in a terrible fight, but it has not affected this side, and nothing else has happened in Karazhan.

This means that Oryx, who has been here for three months and is nine months away from the mission, will be fine as long as he holds on to his death in the spirit of not seeking merit but seeking no fault.

For him, hunting during the day, honing his sacred spells and melee skills in his spare time, and going to the villages outside Karazhan once every ten days and half a month to exchange for supplies, such a life is not too difficult.

After a busy day, he hung the tanned leather on the ceiling and continued to smoke, and lay down on the little cot covered with fur on top of the hay at the bottom, and opened the book of time.

——

[Objective]: Collect Khadgar's "young" memories.

[Collected Quantity]: 0.

[Description]: Please continue to enter the host's description of Khadgar.

——

The mission description is very vague, and he is never told how exactly he has collected so-called "young memories". Only there was a blank page at the back, which had been specially set aside for him to write on, and there were already a few lines of small print on it, all of which he had written according to what he had known about Khadgar.

[The target is about 180 cm/5.9 feet tall, thin, handsome, likes to read, and is eager to learn about magic.] He is the best of Dalaran's younger generation, with a tough, cautious, and humble personality, and is more respected by his mentors. At the end of the first year of the Black Gate calendar, he was sent to Karazhan by the Kenrito Council to participate in the selection of Medivan's apprentices, and to spy on Karazhin's intelligence. 】

But these things are known to everyone, and the Book of Time did not reward him with time energy for this. He had already guessed that perhaps the things that the mission wanted him to collect were unknown ones.

For example, Khadgar takes off his socks and likes to smell them, and likes to be inside the flowers. The quirk of the pants, the quirk of the horn and the like when you sleep.

He suddenly had an idea, and added a sentence at the end of the description [I love milkshakes, and I suspect that I have a soft spot for dairy products].

With the sliding of his fingers, the golden quicksand formed the text on the page on its own, and a ray of golden light swirled out.

[Collection Quantity +1]

[Gain 1 time energy reward, current time energy: 6.] 】

Oryx finally confirmed his guess, and sure enough, he had to collect some unknown things before counting.

But just such a trivial taste preference, you get 1 point of time energy, doesn't it mean that other things will be richer?

Looking at the [Velon's Spell Experience] on the store page that had been locked by himself for more than a hundred rounds for free, he was a little moved for a while, but quickly extinguished this thought.

Do you understand delayed gratification? It's still a small life.

Just as he was about to close the Book of Time, suddenly a dense sound of horses' hooves came from afar, mixed with a crisp crashing sound.

Aurex was all too familiar with the voice. Wearing armor to ride, the armor will inevitably collide with each other with bumps.

It's a team of heavily armed knights! But who would come to Karazhan at such a time?

He frowned, the fire on his side was very conspicuous in the night, and it must have been noticed a long time ago. If it is a group of defeated troops who have retreated from the front, it is difficult to say what else will happen. So he grabbed his hunting knife and got out of the shack. I saw that in the woodland in the distance, a group of knights dressed in black armor, all hidden in heavy helmets, and even the horses were wearing black vests, were galloping in the direction of Karazhan.

They had apparently noticed the fire, and when Oryx came out, the knight with the horned helmet at the head stopped his horse and gave him a curious look.

At his glance, Oryx's backbone was bubbling cold, his heart was alerted, and the divine energy in his body worked on its own as if he had encountered an enemy of life and death.

Those eyes were full of evil and ominousness that was difficult to describe in words! Fortunately, the knight at the head quickly lost interest, waved his hand, and led his men on the road again.

Oryx breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly thought of the legend about the "Dark Knight" of Karazhan.
