Chapter 117: The Barov Family
Sheep Transformation! Frost Imprisonment!
I have to say that it is really much more convenient to have a mage on the road, it takes at least a week to travel from the Valley of the Hearth to Fort Keldarron, and it is impossible for everyone to carry a week's worth of dry food, so it is really heavy-duty, and it is easy to be constipated if you eat dry food for several days in a row.
As a result, hunting on the road became an essential activity. At this point, Gianna's spell became very useful, and the wild boar running in the forest was first turned into a sheep by the mage, and then the crowd surrounded her. Before you get ready to start, perform another frost spell to trap your prey firmly on the ground. Now, it doesn't take much effort for everyone to rush up and eat wild boar. And the poor boar didn't know how he died until he died......
"Fire, dear."
Ares then brought the skewered wild boar meat to Gianna. As soon as the archmage raised his hand, the pile of dry wood ignited a scorching flame. There is a mage in the wilderness of this Nima, who is simply a survival expert...... Ares suddenly sighed, no wonder everyone wants to be a mage...... Piercing walls, changing sheep, phantoms, teleportations, and even changing faces, as long as you are proficient in magic, only you can't think of it, and you can't do it without them......
When they finally arrived at Lake Daron Mill, they even had at least two days' worth of dry rations.
"This is it."
Norman, the Silver Knight of the Dawn, said.
However, there was hardly anything to be seen except for the filthy lake and the yellow mist rising from the water.
But Ares knew that the psychic academy was in the middle of the lake, and the mist on the surface of the water was probably deliberately created by the necromancer in order to hide people's eyes. After all, the Psychic Academy is not like your average undead fortress. It is a place where cursed cultists and necromancers learn necromancy, and it is not heavily guarded by undead soldiers. Such a place, similar to Dalaran in the human world, the city of mages. This place, to put it bluntly, is a place that provides a steady stream of necromancers for the Scourge Legion, and naturally does not want the outside world to know.
"Well, now it looks like nothing, how are we going to get there?"
Drumm asked. He saw that the fog rising from the sky was like the pine forest of Gilneth, so damp that it was boring.
"Not far from here is a town of the undead, where cursed cultists or necromancers often come out of the island in the middle of the lake, and they usually choose to land there. We only need to wait at the docks for a while until the necromancer who came out of the boat lands on the shore, when the time comes to assassinate him, and then use his boat to cross back to the center of the lake. ”
Knight Norman replied earnestly that this island was detected by him, and Norman would know better about its actual situation. And when he got here, Ares didn't speak the whole time. After all, I am only familiar with the game, and I don't know the real situation at all...... The so-called pretending to be forced should also be stopped in moderation......
In this way, everyone spent a long night by the cold lake, not daring to set up tents, not daring to make fires, not daring to camp, but to lie on the spot, Gianna was shivering with cold, but Ares hugged her tightly and spent a difficult night.
But patience paid off, and the next morning, Norman, the Silver Knight of the Dawn, who was in charge of keeping the wind in charge, discovered the Cursed Cultists' landing. But there was more than one believer who landed on the shore, and there were three...... To this end, Ares sent all the stalkers, known as the thieves, on his team to assassinate the three unlucky ones. After a "fierce fight", the three cursed cultists were all wiped on their necks, and their bodies were lying on the shore of the pier. Their ships were captured by Ares.
The Scarlet Crusaders have some good traditions that they can't afford to lose, such as being good at receiving and absorbing soldiers of all professions. It doesn't have to be paladins and warriors, the Scarlet Abbey recruited people of almost any profession during the leadership of Renault, thieves, priests, mages, warriors, hunters.
Now, the multi-class mix-and-match squad has shown its strengths. If it weren't for the thieves, Ares promised that by the time the paladins and warriors rushed forward, the Cursed Cult would have fled in their ships, and would even have returned to the city to tell their boss that the enemy was coming...... Therefore, compared to the weakness of the single class of the Silver Dawn, Ares still maintains the original "tradition" of the Scarlet Crusaders in this regard.
Lake Dallommere, rather than a lake, is an inland sea, and it is so vast that even a boating boat would have to paddle all day to reach the middle of the lake. This was something that Ares didn't expect, but when he thought about it, it wasn't surprising that Ares overlooked a problem, and in the Second Orc War, there was even a naval battle...... So the area is natural and self-evident. Once again, Ares was misled by the game's unreliable maps...... Fortunately, the team members still carried more than two days of dry rations, enough for the boat to row to the center of the lake.
And when it comes to the Psychic Academy, we have to talk about the famous World of Warcraft Barov family. Because the psychic academy was actually built under the ruins of the fortress of the Barov family. The Barov family was originally part of the Seven Kingdoms of Humanity, the Kingdom of Alterac. But this family is not ordinary, he has a vast fiefdom, and he has noble Alahi blood, and the assets of the Barov family in its heyday can even be compared with the royal family of Alterac.
During the Second Orc War, the Great Orc Chief Orgrim. The Hammer of Doom leads an army of orcs against the Alliance. Fearing the destruction of the Alliance, the weak King of Alterac Aiden surrendered to the Orc Great Chieftain and promised the Hammer of Destruction to allow the Orc army to pass through the Alterac Valley, in exchange for the Orc's victory, which would ensure the safety of the Alterac Kingdom.
In this way, the Hammer of Doom led the orc army across the treacherous Alterac Valley to the base of the Alliance, Lordaeron. But in the end, due to the betrayal of the orc sorcerer Gul'dan, the Hammer of Doom was unable to capture Lordaeron, the last great city of humanity. And in the Battle of Blackstone Mountain, the orc army led by the Hammer of Destruction was defeated by the Alliance.
After winning the war, the Alliance was furious at the betrayal of the Alterac Kingdom. Led by Lightbringer Uther, the Alliance quickly routed Alterac's rebels. Desperate, the remnants of Alterac fled to seek refuge in the Barov family, located in the middle of Lake Daron Mill. As a result, the Barov family sided with the Lordaeron Alliance, and cooperated with the fleet of the elves of Silvermoon City to hand over the rebels to the Lordaeron Alliance.
The Kingdom of Alterac was then incorporated into the Kingdom of Lordaeron. After everything seemed to be calm, King Terenus of Lordaeron made a decision that upset the Barov family. He deprived the Barov family of many fiefdoms in Alterak. This move seriously harmed the interests of the Barov family. They began to curse King Terenus. At the same time, the surviving nobles of the Alterac Kingdom were also extremely hostile to the Barov family.
In the end, the Barov family had to bear the name of the renegade and the endless curse on this isolated island in the middle of Lake Daronmeir. More than a decade later, when the Lich King ordered Kergassud to unleash the Plague of Death on Lordaeron, the Barov family took refuge in the Lich King and dedicated the land to the Lich King. They paid for their own lives in exchange for revenge against the kingdom of Lordaeron.
What a sad family, every time I think of this, Ares feels sorry for this family. Everything is caused by conflicts of interest, and human beings are such a race, for the sake of interests, power, and strength, they can fight for their heads and bloodshed. Even if it is cannibalism, it will not hesitate......
