Varian and Ciel worked together very well, and in the face of the combined attack of the two of them, Hogg had no chance of turning the tables.

Hogg's attack power is indeed large, but its attack speed is correspondingly much slower, so Varian has plenty of reaction time to use the warrior's shield in his hand to block his attacks.

Hogg's axe slashed Varian's shield to the point of cracking the iron and sending sawdust flying, but it was difficult to inflict any real damage on Varian.

Ciel's arrows were fired at various vital parts of Hogg's body from time to time, causing his health to continue to decline steadily.

Sometimes Hogg tries to leave Varian behind and attack Ciel in the distance, but is always re-attracted to hatred after Varian strikes him in the back of the head several times in quick succession.

In this way, although the dignified trumpet killer Uncle Hogg has achieved an honorary kill of 250,000 in the game, he still can't change the ending that he is about to lose and die today.

Ten minutes later, Hogg couldn't hold it anymore, and as Ciel's last arrow hit it in the neck, Hogg let out a miserable wail and finally fell limply in front of Varian.

"Whew~~~" Varian, who was almost out of strength, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and sat on the ground, and the shield and one-handed hammer were also put aside by him.

Ciel put away his bow and arrows, walked over, leaned against the trunk of the eucalyptus tree beside him, pointed to Varian's left arm and asked, "How do you feel?" ”

Varian moved his arm, frowned and replied, "I didn't feel anything when I was fighting just now, but now I can't lift it up." ”

Varian's shield-holding left hand was still trembling slightly and unnaturally, a sign of muscle fatigue.

The Elite Hogg's attack was indeed heavy for Varian at the moment, and even the durability of the Warrior's Shield, which was made of thick oak wrapped in iron, had dropped considerably, and the strength of his hand holding the shield could be imagined.

Hill looked at it twice and said, "You're just temporarily out of strength, and you'll be fine after a while." ”

Now that Hill said it was okay, Varian was relieved. He rubbed his left arm with his right hand, trying to relieve the soreness, but to no avail.

Ciel walked over to Varian's side and crouched down and said, "What's the use of you rubbing your breath like this?" How can the muscles relax in this way? Take your hands off and watch how I do it. ”

With that, Ciel took Varian's wrist with his left hand, and the white and slender fingers of his right hand pressed and kneaded on Varian's left arm along the texture of the muscle.

Ciel's hand was warm and soft, much to Varian's surprise. He thought that as a dark ranger of the undead race, Ciel's hands should be stiff and cold.

Hill's strength is sometimes light and sometimes heavy, and it seems to be a bit casual, but the relaxation effect is surprisingly good.

After a few minutes or so, Ciel stopped, let go of Varian's hand and stood up, saying, "Alright. ”

Varian made a few fist-bending movements, feeling his left arm regain sensation again.

"I didn't expect you to have such a hand, it's amazing." Varian said admiringly.

"What's this is just one of the many skills you need to master as a Ranger."

The High Elves' Ranger training system originated from the ancient Night Elf Kadore, which has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, and naturally has many unique methods.

Once his arm had recovered, Varian went to Hogg's corpse and began picking up loot.

Hogg drops the quest item Giant Gnoll's Claw, 2 linens, 1 hard jerky, and a gem Shadowstone of green quality.

Varian submitted the quest item to complete the quest, and saw that his experience points suddenly increased a lot, and it seems that the rewards of the elite quest are really rich, much stronger than ordinary quests.

Varian then brushed a few more normal copies with Ciel, and only then did he get out of the system when he was a little tired.

Ciel, on the other hand, temporarily dormants in the phase space created by the system until the next time Varian enters the dungeon again.

……

"Bang~Bangbang~~" Varian, who was a little tired after brushing the dungeon, was resting on the bed in the hotel room, when there was a long and short knock on the door.

The knock on the door was soft, but it seemed to have some kind of magical rhythm that Varian could hear clearly.

Varian got up and opened the door, and there was a very ordinary old woman in the doorway.

"Greetings, Your Highness the Prince." The old woman lifted the hem of her skirt and bowed to Varian, and then said, "I have something I want to talk to you about, I wonder if you will give me this opportunity?" ”

Varian looked at the old woman in front of him, dressed in a light gray linen dress, with gray hair, and so ordinary that it was hard for Varian to remember her if he wasn't looking.

Despite her ordinary-looking appearance, Varian was sure that the old woman was no ordinary character.

The rooms upstairs of the inn were occupied only by Varian and Card, and with two elite guards guarding the staircase, how could they possibly let an unidentified old woman casually walk to the door of her room without informing her?

Obviously, this old woman is very strong, has superb stealth skills, and even has hidden methods such as breath blocking, and even evades Khadgar's spiritual perception.

However, Varian could sense that the old woman had no ill will towards her, and seemed to be respectful to herself.

Therefore, Varian did not make any gestures such as calling for help from the guards or Khadgar, but thought quickly in his mind about the characters who matched the identity of the person in front of him.

This old woman is supposed to be a high-level stalker. Stalkers, in turn, can be divided into assassins and thieves. They are accompanied by shadows and are at ease when it comes to stealing, murder, espionage, and assassination.

Because most of them are behind the scenes, few of the well-known stalkers in Azeroth are aware of them.

In Varian's memory, the powerful stalkers include Garona, the orc who assassinated his king's father, Ryan, and Valera Sangunar, the High Elf who later teamed up with him to farm the arena in the original timeline.

As for the stalkers among the humans...... Varian's first thought was the organization that made him almost vomit when he played games and practiced the Stalker Trumpet in his previous life, Ravenhold Manor.

Thinking of Ravenhold Manor, Varian suddenly remembered that there seemed to be another Stalker organization with the same name as it......

Varian had a clue, and he nodded at the old woman, "Of course, please come in, Mrs. Shore." ”
