Early the next morning, Tirisfal Glades, Lordaeron.

Lordaeron is still a busy scene as it was a year and a half ago, with 20,000 industrious zombies and skeletons working under the command of high-level undead and human architects, and after a year and a half of hard work by more than 20,000 low-level undead, more than half of the city has been built, including a majestic royal palace.

Barons Alexton looked at the newly built Royal Palace of Lordaeron with satisfaction, and said to Darien Mograine, the youngest son of the human paladin --- Grand Lord of Mograine, who was sent to garrison Lordaeron City, "This palace will definitely be the highest masterpiece of my life, and it is indeed an honor of my life to be responsible for designing and presiding over its construction." ”

"I heard that you also presided over the construction of the royal palace of Stormwind, I wonder how it compares to this palace?"

"How can this be compared," Barons couldn't help but laugh, "Stormwind City Palace, also known as Stormwind Fortress, is more like a military fortress than a royal palace, and in terms of defense, it is naturally first-class, but there are not many places where I can draw up my construction art." ”

Darien smiled and was about to answer, when suddenly his face changed, and he reminded Barons, "The Lord Regent is here." ”

Barons hurriedly bowed and saluted with Darian, only to see James Sean with an expressionless face and a look at the Forsaken and the army passing by the two of them with Thassarian, Natalie, Koltila, Veronara and other Forsaken high-ranking and the army, after the army left, Ballons looked at Darian:

"Look at the way this regent looks, it's going to war again? He had only returned to Lordaeron City to rest for a month. ”

"If it weren't for the Seventh Legion and the Crusaders who needed to rest, they wouldn't need to come back for a month, and the undead wouldn't need to rest." Darien looked at the army running to the front with envy, Darien also wanted to go to the front, but his father only ordered him to watch the house in Lordaeron.

Barons didn't notice the subtle change in Darian's expression, but he agreed: "The undead who don't need to rest are simply the most dedicated workers, if it weren't for the Cathedral of Light, I would have wanted to bring a few zombies back to Stormwind City to help me work." ”

"Yes," Paladin Darien agreed with mixed feelings, "I have to admit that without this group of low-level undead, it would be an impossible task to rebuild Lordaeron, and now although the population of Lordaeron cannot recover for a while, with the help of the undead, at least we will not lack supplies." ”

Darien's words were not just his own thoughts, but had become the consensus of the surviving humans of Lordaeron, especially after the fanatics of the Holy Light Church had all been killed in battle at the hands of Tyr, and the current situation was that humans could not do without low-level undead, and these low-level undead who did not have much intelligence were the best slaves, they could work day and night, and they could use it for many years with very little material and regular maintenance by a corpse sewer, which was much better than ploughing oxen.

With this group of low-level undead, relying on the exploitation of low-level undead humans can not only survive, but also live very comfortably, so as far as Darien knows, there are already many people who want to find the undead regent to buy some low-level undead as slaves.

On the same morning, on the hill behind Stormwind.

The bald head said coldly to Vanessa: "Nightingale, start the first lesson today, let me see the results of your past studies with Edwin and Abigail, and I will allow you to take a dagger at me, come up, and kill me." ”

Vanessa couldn't figure out the intention of the bald head, instinctively hesitated, only to hear the sound of breaking the air, and with a snap, Vanessa's forehead was hit by a stone, and blood immediately flowed out.

"Are you deaf? Or was it eaten by a wild dog? Tell you to come up and kill Lao Tzu, can't you hear? Or are you just as stupid as Edwin if you don't even understand such simple words? ”

The last sentence successfully stimulated Vanessa, she became furious, quickly took out the dagger, followed the steps that her father had taught her, and used the knowledge of using the dagger taught to her by the previous teacher, jumped up three meters away from the bald head, and shot with all her might.

In the face of Vanessa's stabbing cold, the bald head didn't use his weapon at all, his hand moved in an instant, as fast as lightning, the last hair came first, and the little girl was slapped out with a strong slap.

The little girl fell to the ground like a rag doll, and the bald head scolded with an unkind face: "Fool, have you fed the dog the first two years of study?" Did you learn this? ”

Vanessa didn't answer, she slowly got up in pain, but there was a thick disbelief in her eyes, she thought that her ability was the top among her peers, and the bald head in front of her was a big bully.

The bald head naturally knew what the little girl was thinking, and scolded: "Don't you know how to kill people from the side?" Take a broken dagger from the front, you treat you as a warrior! We are assassins, fools! Knowing who they are, a qualified Assassin would only choose to confront him head-on if he had to do so. ”

Vanessa admitted that the other party had a point, and whispered, "Yes." ”

"One more time, kill me." The bald head said coldly, "I will give you the opportunity to launch the first attack on my flank, this week, if you can force me to leave the position where I stand, you will continue to be my apprentice, if you can't do it, I will kill you, and I will be embarrassed by Lao Tzu during the trial." ”

Although the bald head said this in a flat tone, Vanessa had already understood that the other party's threat was not a joke in the past few days of getting along, so she whispered "Understood." She began to attack again, this time with a light foot, and very neatly went around the back of the bald head, who kept the promise and did not turn around, and Vanessa immediately backstabbed with all her might, and then ...... She was fanned out again.

"Idiot! What kind of bullshit are you using this time? We are assassins, the most explosive existence of all classes, and the moment you emerge from the shadows is your strongest moment, so you must use up all your spirit for the first attack, and you don't even need to fight after the first blow is soft! ”

"Yes."

Vanessa whispered as she felt the burning pain of the wound, and then she pounced again, but she still didn't know how to summon all her energy like the bald head said, so she was fanned out again......

After a few successions, the bald head was already a little impatient: "Don't always be, what about your murderous aura?" Now think of me as your father-killer, that I killed Edwin's idiot, that I chopped him up and fed him to the dogs, ....... ”

Before the bald head could speak, the furious Vanessa had already regarded the bald head in front of her as an enemy who was not in the same place, forgot her fear of the bald head, and threw all her strength and anger into this blow.

The bald head easily took Vanessa's attack, and kicked her away before grinning: "Yes, that's the energy, come, adjust the way you just exert your strength, continue to kill me, I killed your stupid daddy ......!" ”

For the next few days, the bald head cursed Edwin in various ways every day, although this trick was vicious but indeed very effective, Vanessa's progress was very obvious, greatly exceeding the bald head's expectations, and on the third day of the seven-day covenant, the bald head was forced to jump back and move his position, and his arm was also scratched by Vanessa.

In the palace of Stormwind City, in the martial arts training ground, Claudia was standing in the corner of the venue with a silver hand, communicating.

Claudia said, "I've always felt that the monsters of the Nirub horror lore are too much like the Faceless, and I thought I should hire adventurers to investigate." ”

The Silver Hand said, "The adventurer is unreliable, so leave it to the Tyr Guard, and in a moment you ask Evrina to summon Tawad over, and I will tell him to carry out another mission by the way." ”

"Okay."

The Silver Hand changed the subject: "You have learned Order and Judgment, and the next thing you should learn under normal progress is teleportation or instant, but because of your pregnancy, the content involving time and space can only be temporarily abandoned, and pregnancy has already affected your cultivation progress, so I suggest that after you finish giving birth to this hatchling, you should pause for a few years and finish your business before doing something similar." ”

"I'm sorry, I'll follow your advice." Claudia said with some embarrassment.

"Well, we're going to advance the most important part of the Book of Order, Order and Kingship, and all the other abilities you've learned are grouped around 'Kingship', which will allow you to give the power of order to energy items at will or deprive them of the power of order ......."

In the teaching of the Silver Hand, Claudia gradually understood the meaning of the ability of "kingship" mentioned by the Silver Hand, the courtiers of the mortal king are mortals, and the courtiers of the king of order are the source of order, after learning the power of order and kingship, Claudia's mastery of the source of order will be greatly enhanced, which allows her to command the source of order, deprive or give order.

This is a very powerful ability, for example, if the arcane energy is stripped of order, it will become an evil power, and in the same way, if the evil energy is given order, it will become an arcane power.

When a mage or warlock casts a spell, if the condensed arcane energy becomes evil energy, or the evil energy becomes arcane energy, the spell caster will interrupt, fail, or even reverse.

Of course, in order to achieve this step, in addition to mastering the "royal power", you must also have strong mental power, and all Claudia needs to do now is to practice mastering the royal power in a preliminary way.

To practice this ability, Claudia summoned Shirley, who served in the Mage Tower, into the palace.

"What do you want Arcane Crystals for?" Shirley was curious, "This thing is very expensive, I can't afford to eat this kind of snack lately." ”

"Snacks?"

"Yes, for me, the magic of the Mage Tower is a feast, and the Arcane Crystal is a snack, so I like to buy two as a snack...... But recently, because the prince of Quel'Thalas has stipulated that there is no fruit without contribution, a large number of clansmen have recently paid for their own Arcane Crystals to eat, and the price of Arcane Crystals has increased by ...... recently. ”

Claudia suddenly felt bad, and hurriedly asked, "How much does the Arcane Crystal cost now?" ”

"Two gold coins for one."

After thinking that she needed at least a hundred crystals to practice every day, Claudia decisively changed the subject: "Then do you know where to get evil energy crystals?" ”

Shirley shuddered, "How could I know about this kind of problem, only that disgusting warlock in the 'Lamb to the Slaughter' needs this kind of thing." ”

Shirley left, Claudia also sent the guards to the "lamb slaughtered" in the mage quarters, and soon an old woman, Demisette Klaus, entered the palace under the disgusted eyes of the guards.

"Demisset, I need evil energy crystals, the amount is relatively large, and please ask if you have anything corresponding there, and how to set the price."

Although De Misset wondered why this paladin-turned-queen would need something like an evil energy crystal, she still replied truthfully: "The market price is 40 silver coins each, in fact, His Majesty sent someone to say the required amount for such a trivial matter, and then we can send it over." ”

This price is within the range that Claudia can accept, plus the evil energy crystal can be converted into arcane crystals and sold for money in her place, so Claudia, who thought she could make a profit, was in a good mood and said: "Let's get 1,000 first, and come for 50 silver coins each." ”

"Your Majesty, can you say it again, how many do you need?" Thinking he hadn't heard, De Misset asked again.

Claudia repeated her request: "The amount of 1,000 pieces every ten days will take at least 3 months, and the price of each piece can increase by 10 silver coins according to the market price." ”

De Misset looked embarrassed: "It's not a matter of money, Your Majesty, although this thing is not expensive, we only have a total of more than six hundred pieces of stock here, but this is already the consumption of the Warlock Association of Stormwind City under normal circumstances, because of the low demand, so the original production of this thing is also very low, and other cities will not have too much inventory ......, so I suggest you think of other ways." ”

……

The old warlock left, Claudia also had a headache, she couldn't really buy expensive arcane crystals to play with, but her problem was easily solved by Varian when she lay down and chatted with Varian that night: "You actually only need a few crystals, you can first convert the evil crystal into an arcane crystal, and then convert the arcane crystal into an evil crystal, so that repeated conversion is not enough." ”

Claudia suddenly realized: "yes, why didn't I think of that, thank you, Varian!" ”

Varian smirked, "And how do you thank me?" ”

"Varian, you're tired from a busy day," Claudia sat up, unbuttoned her corset, leaned over and said softly, "Just let me use this here to give you a good massage." ”
