In this way, after getting off the ship, Carlin inexplicably had an extra follower.

But it's not a bad thing, Nathanos is a nice and innocent young man...... Plus, his longbow shooting skills are great, and with him by his side, Carlin doesn't need to worry about safety.

Port Valgard may nominally be the largest city in Quel'Thalas, but in reality it is just a small town in Carlin's eyes! Outside the harbor are dotted with small wooden houses, and a few shops can be seen faintly on the gravel road...... There are few things that Carlin is interested in.

Under the guidance of the All-Seeing Eye, Carlin only bought a little bit of Ice Thorn Grass, Alfalfa, and Northland Flowers...... These herbs are harder to come across in the south. After throwing his head into his pocket, he decided to take a stroll around the neighborhood.

The weather in the Howling Fjords is mild, not as cold as Carlin expected...... About a dozen miles north of Valgard Harbour is Lake Caudus, where the fresh water is taken for their daily needs...... Karlin suddenly saw a mysterious and ancient castle in the distance, standing on the shores of Lake Cowdus in the Howling Fjord!

Memories of past lives began to come to mind.

This is the castle of Utgard, the resting place of the flesh-and-blood Viku.

……

The Vikus, the first creation of the Titans, were forged from rock by the Titans! However, after the Titans left, some of the Viku were influenced by the Elder Gods, and became flesh and blood curses, becoming flesh and blood viku. When the Titans descended on Azeroth for the second time and sealed the Elder Gods, they thought their flesh curse was acceptable and did not clear them!

As time went on, the Viku people, who had become flesh and blood, began to multiply in the world of Azeroth, hunting, building, and living in groups, most notably the Dragon-Raiders of the Viku. The Viku of this tribe were skilled in domesticating Archaeopteryx as their fighting companions, entrenched in the southern region of ancient Northrend, and under the command of King Imiron, defeated the bear monsters and other beasts, and soon established themselves in what is now the area of the Howling Fjord.

However, the Titans' seals on the Elder Gods gradually relaxed, the influence of the Flesh Curse on the Veku people was further strengthened, and the women of the Dragon Raider Clan even began to give birth to skinny and deformed children! King Imiron saw that all the changes in the clan were due to the inaction of the Titans, so he convened a general meeting in the royal capital, calling on the people of the Dragon Raider Clan to abandon the Titan faith and execute the deformed children born in the clan.

However, this was of no avail, and the Flesh Curse continued to grow, and after a few years, the curse had reached a point where it was uncontrollable among the Clan, and more and more of their newborns became deformed, dwarfed creatures, and by the end, most of the Viku, including King Imiron, had no choice but to use magic to put themselves into a deep sleep, hoping to avoid further effects of the Flesh Curse.

And some of the female Viku who did not want to see their children just born but face the fate of execution chose to betray the community, they secretly fled from the community with these deformed children, they went all the way south, away from Northrend, away from the community, these viku children who fled to other places are the future human ancestors.

This is only the history of the Viku people, but Carlin also knows the future.

In the future, the story of the fall of a human prince will take place and unfold. Arthas-Minehir, or perhaps the "Lich King", ruled by the Scourge legion in need of greater combat power, so he awakened the long-dormant flesh of the Viku. and promised that as long as King Imiron was loyal to the Lich King, they would be able to get rid of the curse of flesh and blood, gain eternal life, and gain endless power, and Imiron led his flesh and blood Wiku to officially join the Scourge Legion and become the Lich King's right-hand man.

……

"Mr. Carlin, it's an abandoned castle that has been deserted for at least thousands of years!" Nathanos said from the side.

"Let's go check it out!" Carlin said.

Together, the two of them circled Lake Caudus and walked to the castle. The walls of the castle are covered with dust, and when Carlin gently wipes it, he can see a lot of strange words, which is probably the remains left by the Titans?

After all, the Viku people are the creations of the Titans, and this "Utgard Castle" is also the relics left by the Titans; According to the records of previous lives, the castle itself was built to forge the rock into the Viku people.

"Mr. Carlin, this deserted castle is very strange!" Nathanos whispered, "Rumor has it that many of the inhabitants of Port Valgard tried to break into this place, but none of them survived......"

"Is that so?" Carlin nodded...... In the ruins of the Titans, there must be some traps and other devices, ordinary people who break into them rashly will definitely encounter trouble.

However, hearing Nathanos say this, Carlin suddenly retreated.

He's just a one-ring mage, not much different from ordinary people.

Thinking of this, Carlin couldn't help but feel a little emotional, he was too weak......

If he is a mage of the Sixth Ring or even the Seventh Ring, he can completely encourage the local residents in Valgard, lead the local residents to the south to destroy the lair of the North Sea pirates, and gain enough prestige to become the protector of Valgard...... In this way, if there is any change in the future Scourge Legion, maybe Arthas wants to land here, he can be the first to know, and even do something about it!

He can also go to the top of Utgard, awaken all the Viku here, and then defeat the leader of the Viku, King Imiron! The Viku people, who respect martial arts, will naturally worship him as their leader, so that they can completely recover this group of Viku people of the Dragon Raiding Clan, and they can even go straight to the hinterland of natural disasters in the future......

It's a pity that all this can only be imagined, he is just a one-ring mage, and it is impossible to accomplish this.

"Let's go, Nathanos!" Carlin shook his head, about to leave.

"Hey, an elf!" A rough voice came from behind him: "It's rare that I can actually see an elf in Northrend!" ”

Carlin looked back and saw that it was a yellow-bearded dwarf who looked young...... He had a shotgun in his hand and was flanked by a gorilla about his height, apparently his pet.

"How did you talk to Mr. Carlin!" Nathanos shouted at the dwarf with some dissatisfaction.

"Oh, sorry, sorry!" The dwarf had a good temper: "Introduce yourself, this is Glebe!" ”

He gestured to the gorilla next to him.

"And I, the great explorer Brian Copperbeard...... Both, are you also here to explore this castle? ”
