The glow of magic shimmered atop Karazan's Mage Tower, and every time the mage tower flickered at the top of its tower since it was built, something big happened, and this time was no exception.

Thousands of warlocks and more than three times that number of demons are constantly pumping energy into a magic circle just to keep it alive.

Ainan withdrew the spiritual power he had proclaimed, and Egwen, who was beside him, reminded him, "There is a problem with the coordinates given by the orcs. ”

"That's right if there's a problem, if it's okay, I'll look down on Naozu."

Ainam's answer was unexpected, but it made sense.

Anyway, Nao Aozu is also a leader of one side, and if he believes whatever Ainan says, then Nao Aozu is really stupid, such a person is not worthy of being a leader. If a leader easily trusts others, he will not only fool himself, but also kill those who follow him.

A good leader can be brutal, murderous, and never assertive. You must be aware of what you should do, what kind of goal you want to achieve, and how to do it and what means to use to achieve the goal, that is secondary. Some people say that heroes are not judged by success or failure, but in fact it is the opposite, the success of the prince and the defeat of the Kou is the unchanging conclusion.

Don't look at the alliance between Ainan and Naozu, but it is a verbal alliance, the two have never even met, who can really trust whom?

Nao Zu would defend himself, and even use his side to teleport to his advantage for the sake of others, which Ainan had long expected. When Egwen said that there was a problem with the coordinates, he was not surprised, but thought it was normal.

Pointing to the demons who were working with the warlocks to maintain the magic circle, Ainan leaned into Egwen's ear, pecked her earlobe lightly, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Otherwise, why do you think I would use so many demons?" ”

Ainan's scorching breath sprayed at the base of Egwen's ear, causing the female mage's body to soften. The latter couldn't help but pinch Ainan, and said angrily: "You cunning bad embryo." ”

If you're not cunning, I don't want to be an honest person who is bullied by others.

Ainan shrugged his shoulders and looked in a certain direction, which was just east of the Elwyn Forest.

Ever since humans set foot in this vast forest, the demand for timber has never stopped, and the lumber yard was born. As an officially operated lumberyard, the Eastdale Lumberyard, located in the easternmost part of the Elwyn Forest, is the largest lumberyard in the entire Stormwind Kingdom - if not one, it supplies 80% of the kingdom's raw material market.

Due to its proximity to the Red Ridge Mountains, where the activities of the gnolls are rampant, and the abundance of wild beasts, the lumberyard is home to a kingdom army all year round. When there are more people, there is naturally more demand, and there is a demand means that there is a market, and there is a market to provide services in order to make money, and the arrival of these people has further prospered the logging site, so that the surrounding area of the logging site has naturally prospered.

Naturally, there are no nobles among the people who depend on the East Valley lumberyards for their livelihoods, and the vast majority of them are commoners, and places like this have a natural attraction for some people.

Dressed in black monk's robes, Tath walked down the path, smiling and saluting the civilians and adventurers he met in return. Having volunteered to Pastor Alonsos Fao to go to the Red Ridge Mountain as a missionary, he stayed here for a month, during which time he fulfilled his duties as a monk and developed a large number of believers.

With the increase of believers, the scene of Tass preaching became bigger and bigger, from a few people at the beginning to three or four hundred people now. It can be said that there is no one near the East Valley Lumber Yard who has not heard of Tass preaching, and there is no one who does not know Tas, and he is already a well-known existence here.

Before men Tarth was a kind monk and a pious preacher, but what about after men?

Leaving the crowded avenue, Tath turned onto a remote path, and when he was sure that there was no one around, he recited a spell, and a vague black shadow emerged from him.

"Humble fellow, what's the matter?"

The Black Shadow has no respect for Tas, and his attitude towards Tas is like a dog, beating and scolding him at will when he is unhappy, and even killing him mercilessly. Tas, accustomed to the other party's attitude, replied without the slightest fluctuation of emotion: "Mighty master, your small and humble servant has discovered a strange place, and perhaps you will be interested in it. ”

"It's better to be like this."

Seeing that the black shadow had given him a chance to speak, Tath hurriedly continued: "There is an island in the Stone Tablet Lake north of the East Valley Lumberyard, and I have found some strange stone tablets on it, and after my investigation during this time, I can determine that the inscriptions on it do not belong to any kind of writing known to man. ”

"What do humans know?" The Black Shadow has a contempt for humans in his bones, an attitude of a being from above who overlooks the ants on the ground, "Take me to see it." ”

"Yes, please come with me."

Tas was still respectful on his face, but he despised the other party in his heart: What are you angry about, don't let me take you if you're really angry. Obviously curious in my heart, I still don't admit it, and the one I look down on the most is a duplicitous guy like you.

After spending half an hour and killing several waves of fishmen who had come to find fault, Tarth and the dark shadow set foot on the island in the Stone Tablet Lake.

Standing in front of the stone monument in the center of the island, the black shadow stood for a long time, and quickly walked around the entire island, and finally he came to a conclusion: the location of these stone tablets is actually a magic array, if my estimate is correct, it is a surface teleportation array.

This is really an amazing discovery, I didn't expect such a good thing to exist in such a broken place. It's a pity that this circle is damaged and can't be used again, otherwise you can activate it and see where it leads.

While recording the location of the stele and the words on it, the black shadow combed through the information on it so that he could rebuild the circle in a suitable place, and said to Tarth, "You are still useful, remember, forget about today's events." ”

The dark shadow didn't want to spread the word about the plane teleportation circle, although he knew that Tarth didn't understand magic, but he didn't want him to go out and talk nonsense. If it weren't for the fact that Tath was still valuable, the Black Shadow would have been wiped out.

"Do as you tell me."

Tass was as deferential as ever, and he stood honestly on one side while the shadow was recording information, and he didn't say a word without asking him. Forced to be his servant by this dark shadow for so many years, Tas has long figured out how to get along with him, and those untouched ashes don't know where to go.

When the dark shadow left satisfied, he hurried back to experiment with the new discoveries on the stone tablet lake island, and Tath quietly left the place, leaving a secret mark somewhere before leaving—the fish had been hooked.
