Chapter Twenty-Four: Going Deeper Again
Gianna was a little puzzled by the huge difference in Jon Mills' attitude, but didn't ask much. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At the same time, the young priestess, known as "Bridget", had a trace of concern on her face, but she did not stop Mills from doing so.
Jon said yes, and since he promised Gianna, he set off at once.
Traveling through the portal to Soridan's farm, Jon suddenly began to tell the mages beside him why he did so.
"Miss Proudmoore, there may be something I must explain to you!" Jon said solemnly.
"Oh?" Gianna glanced up at the priest beside her.
"My name is Jon Mills, an exile from Stormwind, and I followed General Anduin Lothar's fleet to Lordaeron when I was five years old!" Jon begins to talk about his past!
Gianna nodded, in fact she had already read the information in Kenrito before.
"When my ship was about to dock in Nanhai Town, it was suddenly attacked by the orc fleet, our ship's armed forces were very weak, and it was no match for the orc fleet at all, although I was still young at the time, I still clearly remember that it was a Kul Tiras's warship that saved us!" Jon said solemnly.
"The captain of that battleship is none other than Admiral Prodmoor, so I swear afterwards that no matter what, I want the Prodmore family to return this favor!"
It turns out that he still has this relationship with his father! Gianna thought to herself, this seemed to explain his somewhat strange behavior before.
"Looks like I'm stained with Admiral Proudmore!" Gianna said with a smile.
She didn't want too many people to know that she was the admiral's daughter, and she preferred Dalaran's status as a mage to the princess of Kul Tiras.
……
"This is it!" Walking to where he and Polly Monie had arrived a few days ago, Jon paused and explained to the mage beside him, "The last time I was with Miss Monie, it was here that I found traces of evil powers. ”
Gianna nodded, looking down carefully at the dead grass on the ground.
"Follow this dead grass to a cave, which is supposed to be the warlock's lair! Then next to that cave, I was separated from Miss Monie, and I didn't know what happened after that! Jon continued.
Gianna carefully examined the marks on the ground, as if she was thinking about something.
Jon just silently followed behind her.
Following the trail of dead grass and trees, they came to the cave again.
"This is it!" Jon spoke, "In fact, the last time we visited, there was only one Warlock here, and we suspect that the Warlock has long since left the colony!" ”
Gianna nodded lightly and walked into the cave.
The stench emanating from the cave was worse than it had been a few days ago, but Gianna seemed completely unaware, just searching for something.
"Got a problem? Miss Prodmoore. Jon asked, curious.
"I'm afraid so!" Gianna nodded, "Actually, I guess this cave is not the stronghold of that warlock!" ”
"What?" Jon frowned suddenly.
The mage patiently explained, "I can feel that the concentration of evil energy in the cave is not high, if there was a warlock who lived here for a long time, it would definitely not be like this!" ”
Jon suddenly remembered that when he first came to the vicinity of this cave that day, he also vaguely felt that something was wrong, and it seemed to make some sense to hear Gianna say this.
"So, this cave is really?" Jon muttered.
"That's right!" Gianna nodded, "This is a trap, and I suspect that those traces on the outside were set up by this warlock himself, and his purpose was to lead you into this cave!" ”
Jon already understood: "Is he trying to make us think he's gone, so that we can let him go!" But Miss Monie insisted on going deeper, and I was afraid that he really found something, so he tried to hurt Miss Mony! ”
"I'm afraid so!"
"No, that's not right!" Jon shook his head suddenly: "This is too unusual, an orc, living in seclusion in the forest, after knowing that his secret has been revealed, the first thing to think about is not to leave, but to try to deceive others that he has left!" ”
Gianna understood Jon's doubts, because the orc's decision was too risky, you must know that there are many villages and many hunters in the vicinity, once the news spreads and attracts their attention, it will not be so easy to leave!
"Maybe there's something important here?" The mage guessed.
"Perhaps?" Jon had an even more surprising thought in his head, could it be that the orc could guarantee that he wouldn't be easily discovered?
But that's just speculation.
"What are we going to do next?" Jon's gaze turned to the mage beside him.
Gianna frowned, then spoke, "If my guess is correct, this orc warlock is still in this forest, and it won't be far from here!" ”
"Let's do a good search!" She raised her staff, and began to search the neighborhood cautiously.
Jon thought about it, but followed her.
