Chapter 184: Alterac (3)
For Lieutenant Adras Blackmore of Dunhold Manor, life was not easy during this time.
The horde's army has completely occupied the south, and it is said that the dwarven territories have fallen, and there are even rumors that the Arathi Heights will be plunged into war at any time; The people in the manor were terrified, and many farmers were so frightened that they fled for their lives in Lordaeron in the north!
But Blackmore couldn't do that, though he was scared too.
After all, he was a nobleman, and nobles could not leave their domain, that was the truth...... A nobleman with a territory is a nobleman, and a nobleman who loses a territory is a down-and-out nobleman, and Blackmore, although he is not literate, understands this.
For example, the down-and-out nobles of Lordaeron who fled to Stormwind City had heard of the miserable life of Blackmore.
Took out a lot of money from the castle and gathered a group of farmers a little...... The estate was temporarily stabilized.
But Blackmore still has a secret in his heart...... A secret that could bring him danger.
More than a year ago, by chance, by a river in the Blackmore Forest, I picked up an extremely ugly, green-skinned orc cub......
Logically speaking, if you encounter this kind of monster, you should throw it into the water and drown.
But Blackmore, all of a sudden, had a strange idea.
Over the years, Blackmore has done more than he can get to get the same position as someone of similar background and qualifications. Because of his father, he lived in the shadow of his father's shameful betrayal, and although he did everything he could to gain power and power, he was still suspected by many people; The people around him always privately called him a "traitor", thinking that he couldn't hear.
So by divine send, he left the baby behind and left it to his butlers, the Tamis Foxton family, to raise!
Originally, this is a very common thing, and no one says that you can't keep a monster as a pet......
But a few months ago, news of the Horde invasion reached here...... In this case, if there is an orc in your manor, even if it is a young orc, it is easy to be mistaken for an orc mole!
Fortunately, the news did not get out, and the Tamis Foxtons are also trustworthy enough for Blackmore.
Until......
Five minutes earlier, one of his guards had reported:
"My lord, a mage from Dalaran has come to visit, and he said he wants to see you!"
Blackmoult was a little flustered.
……
"Hello, Mr. Blackmore!" Carlin said with a smile.
"You are ......" Looking at the familiar elven mage face in front of him, Blackmore recalled his name as best he could:
"Lord Carlin, it's an honor to see you again!"
Fortunately, his memory is not bad, and the appearance of the elven mage is also very characteristic and easy to remember, and this mage once came to his manor on behalf of Dalaran to collect taxes...... Looking at the blue robes on the other side's body, Blackmore realized that the mage had been promoted.
Although he didn't understand the class composition of the wizards in Dalaran...... But he still knows a common saying, the wizards of Dalaran outside the purple robes are extremely terrifying wizards......
The expression on his face suddenly became a little more respectful: "My lord, I don't know what you are doing?" ”
Carlin smiled slightly, pointed to the tin man behind him, and said, "This is my attendant, Manjix......"
Blackmore then noticed that standing behind the blue-robed mage was a bald warrior monk in armor; Strange costumes, and the monk's face was very pale, and his armor and clothes were soaked.
"This stupid follower accidentally fell into the river when he passed by the Sodoril River before!" Carlin shook his head helplessly: "Although I scooped him up, his body seems to be a little cold because of the immersion, and he looks weak......"
Blackmoult suddenly understood what the other party meant: "You want Mr. Mangicz to rest with me for a while?" ”
Carlin nodded, then asked, "Is that okay?" ”
"Of course!" Blackmore hurriedly said, "Lord Carlin, it's my honor to serve Dalaran!" ”
As he spoke, the lord of Dunhold Manor called his butler: "Tamis, take this Mr. Mangicks to rest and prepare some medicine and tonic for him......"
At the same time, Blackmore also glanced at the butler; You can't let that orc cub be discovered by this mage's henchman.
Tamis nodded slightly.
"No need!" I saw Carlin smile: "Manjix's physical fitness is still very good, it's okay to rest for one night!" ”
"Then do what the adults say!" Blackmore hurriedly ordered again.
"Mr. Blackmore, then I thank you for your help in advance!" Carlin nodded: "I owe you a favor!" ”
Blackmoorton's eyes lit up, the favor of a high-level wizard of Dalaran was very precious.
While thinking about how to turn this favor into a greater good, Blackmore excused himself: "Where, then how embarrassing......
……
The bald warrior monk Mangicx, along with his armor, was taken to a bedroom by Tamis Folkestone, the butler of Dunhold Manor.
His soaked clothes were changed, and the butler prepared a coarse cloth shirt for him.
"Mr. Mangicx, do you need anything?" The butler asked gently.
"No need!" The bald warrior monk lay down on the bed and covered his body tightly with a quilt: "Thank you very much, I think I can sleep for a while!" ”
Butler Tamis Foxton nodded, then quietly closed the door and walked out.
Soon came the loud snoring of the bald monk...... The butler nodded and quietly left.
Almost five minutes later, Manjix, a warrior monk who seemed to be sleeping soundly in his bed, suddenly got up.
Khadgar glanced around cautiously...... The previous paleness on his face has been swept away.
It was just a very simple "Fatigue Touch" mage, but unfortunately it was difficult for ordinary people to tell the difference; When the "Fatigue Touch" is removed, the performance will naturally disappear.
Khadgar crept out of bed, then pulled out the staff hidden in his armor......
There was a thought for a while, and then a vision that was exactly like him appeared on the bed.
"Mirror Imagery!"
Khadgar nodded with satisfaction, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I didn't expect it, a bald warrior monk like me who is so unsightly is actually an archmage!" ”
After speaking, the staff in his hand waved, and the whole person's body disappeared.
"Invisibility!"
Now, stepping into the shadows, it's time for him to look for what Carlin said.
