The sky is getting brighter, and the snow-capped mountains glisten in the sun.

Oryx and Illusia led the way, while Alexandros Mograini and two other paladins followed far behind, and the group headed towards the mountains to the north.

Climb up to get an unobstructed view of the southeastern part of Icecrown, and even better if you can spot signs of Scourge activity.

The northwestern part of the Crystal Song Forest is bordered by the southeastern part of Icecrown Glacier. The mountains on the north and south sides of the river form a relatively narrow pass at the border, and at the pass is a vast area of water, which is the lake called the "river" of weakness in later generations, sparkling, and the snow-capped mountains reflect each other, and the scenery is quite magnificent.

Orix couldn't remember the origin of the name, but now it seemed that at least one possibility was ruled out - it was not caused by the meltwater of the snow-capped mountains, and as for whether the lake was worthy of its name and had debilitating powers, he didn't care too much, and he didn't jump into it anyway.

At this point in time, the "Iron Wall Dam", the gateway to the southeast of the core territory of the Gongwei Natural Disaster, has not yet been completed, and the terrain difference is not obvious, unlike the ground dozens of meters above the side of the Jingge Forest as in later generations, it is just a gentle slope, and you can directly enter the icecap glacier area if you walk up.

"It's called the Crystal Song Forest, and it's located right in the middle of the continent of Northrend. We are now on its northwestern edge, just a few kilometres away from your target area. The view to the east is even better, and it is said that everything was crystallized in a magical explosion, and we can see even better if we go there in the next few days to survey the anchor point. ”

In Illusia's eyes, Oryx, who had been looking around, was no different from a first-time visitor to Dalaran.

Maybe it's because she was finally able to come out to relax after a few months, and she was still in an extremely easy job, she was in a very good mood, so good that she chatted with Oryx, who was still slandering not long ago.

Although she didn't expect the dumb paladin to reply.

"Well, it's beautiful, I hope to see a better view." Sure enough, Oryx just said a perfunctory sentence and continued to look at the scenery.

In fact, his mind was not on the scenery, but on the possible signs of undead activity. Whether it's the "Lich King's Eye" hovering in the sky, that is, the gargoyle who performs reconnaissance work; Or the undead laborers who are moving building materials to this pass, preparing to build a towering wall called the Iron Wall Dam.

"Why do you keep looking over there?" Seeing that he had been looking at the northwest pass, Illusia couldn't help but ask curiously.

"It's nice over there." This is Oryx's answer.

Illusia was bored, pouted, and thought to herself that this guy was really boring, so she said no more. However, her attention was soon drawn to the view, and she had never been to the Crystal Song Forest, and her knowledge of the forest was limited to a map of the geography of Azeroth, written and illustrated by the High Elves, in the Great Library of Dalaran.

As a person who was born in the white mountains of the kingdom of Alterac and grew up in the kingdom of Lordaeron, although he is no stranger to snow, the snow scene of Northrend is unique, revealing a pathos from the primeval times, and people can't help but fall into it.

After walking for a while, she put away the portable Magic Net Energy Detector. This thing is used to detect the energy of the magic net, in fact, this thing is not needed in this direction at all, and the reason why she has been holding it in her hand is just for show, lest these dull customers think that they are not working.

But now it seems that it is completely unnecessary. Not only was the young wooden head next to him not thinking about this, but the three in the back were also distracted by other things.

She had been observing them, and these paladins had come here for no idea what they were for, as if they were really trying to discover some great secret, making them mysterious, but they didn't want to show it easily, holding this holy deed and reciting a prayer from time to time, casting some kind of sacred spell, and then stopping to observe the feedback of the spell, which seriously slowed down the march.

But Illusia didn't care, they were the patrons anyway. The only thing she found strange was ...... It's clear that Alexandros Mograini is the person in charge of this trip, but why do you listen to Oryx's opinion on everything?

The middle-aged paladin suggested climbing the gentle slope to have a look, but as soon as Oryx said that it would be better to climb high and look into the distance, the former immediately agreed, as if Oryx was in charge.

It's so weird.

As she walked, she suddenly noticed that there was no one around, and when she looked back, it turned out that Oryx had stopped and was stretching his old neck to look at the sky.

What to see? She also looked up, only to see a bird of prey flying extremely high......

"What do you see?" Alexandros and the others were also solemnized by Oryx.

"Undead creatures," Oryx said, adding, "an undead creature called a gargoyle that I saw in my prophecy. ”

Everyone was shocked, and Illusia was also a little confused, what undead creature? What prophecy?

"Miss Barov, could you please help us see a little further?" At this moment, Aurix's voice came from afar.

Illusia nodded, she knew this spell, and it was not difficult, and immediately cast arcane vision on everyone—essentially an eye spell that used arcane energy to refract light into the eyeball, acting like a telescope. Of course, there are many other useful uses, such as changing the spell model to allow the user to visualize invisible magical energy, or seeing through obstacles to objects that emit heat, etc.

It could be seen that it was the first time that the paladins had this strange visual amplification, but they quickly got used to it, and after seeing the "bird of prey" in the sky, they all gasped. Illusia also looked at it with arcane vision, but she didn't know if she didn't see it, and she was startled when she saw it.

Which is a bird of prey? It's clearly a "bat" that has been magnified dozens of times! According to the imaging distance of the arcane vision, she quickly judged that the wingspan of this "bat" was four or five meters, which was quite large, the whole body was gray, there was not a single hair, the feet were sharp and clawed, the head was similar to that of a bat, and the red eyes did not have a trace of the brilliance of a living being.

She remembered what Oryx had said, and her heart moved, and she adjusted the arcane vision's spell model so that it could survey necromantic energy. The "bat" in his eyes suddenly became different again, and there was quite a strong necromantic energy around his body.

It's quite rich, indeed.

Necromancy and any study of the relevant Origin Realm are considered taboo in Dalaran. Otherwise, the former Kenrito MP Kel'thugad would not have been expelled for violating the ban again and again.

Illusia had never seen an undead creature in her life, not even in Dalaran's psychic science course for the younger generation of leaders. To her, a mediocre gargoyle of the Scourge was truly terrifying—a sentiment shared by most of the mages of Dalaran who had witnessed the Scourge envaing Lordaeron for the first time during the Third War.

"That'...... What exactly is that? ”
