Chapter 130: Departure 2
Old town streets.
Newly emerging from the Crucible Block, Rhodes walked slowly through the streets of the Old Town with a giant decapitating sword on his back, his steps slow but steady.
Suddenly.
Rodton was on the street, looking up, he stretched out his right hand, and the light on the top of the rock slipped down on his face through the gap between his fingers, making him a little trance for a moment.
"This neighborhood...... It's familiar! He sighed for a long time.
The old town has changed a lot.
According to the information obtained by Rhodes back then, the original old town should have been built on the ruins of the City of Bones built by the Lich King in the Dry Bone Age.
The Lich King doesn't look easy.
The land he was looking for seemed to hide a lot of secrets.
In the past, there were frequent undead phenomena and strange events in the Old Town, which people often attributed to the poison of the evil magic experiments of the Lich left over from the Dry Bone Age.
But now it seems.
The bones and spirits of the dead in the eyes of people are just a cloak to hide those secrets.
When the secrets hidden under the dust of history come to the surface, all the mysterious unknowns seem to be no longer frightening after stripping off that coat.
Just like now.
The old town, which was once eerie and full of historical decay, has been rejuvenated by a catastrophe.
Rod didn't think of it either.
Not long ago, the entire old town was full of traces of war, and the destructive power of magic had almost razed several neighborhoods to the ground, and the evil aura left by various monsters lingered for a long time.
But only once into the ruins.
Look back.
This old town presents a scene of a construction site in full swing.
Mage apprentices were directing the large golems to carry some supplies, and in the distance, some cavemen and spirits were being driven to build buildings next to the streets.
Although the whole old town is still dilapidated.
But vaguely.
Rhodes can still see a rough outline of the old town, such as the familiar stall area, such as the old warehouse area that is jokingly called the "Taobao District".
Today's old town is like a person who has been sick for a long time, through a big explosion, broken and later, and the ruin is full of new life.
"This is the Stormwind City I remember!" Rod sighed.
In Rhodes' mind, this area under construction planning will become the largest trade area in the Scarlet Defense Region, and warriors from all over Ash will gather here.
"Get out of the way!" A deep voice rang out behind Rod.
Airplanes!
A hot breath came to his face, and on the side of Rod's body, he saw a little man in a black cloak hurrying by.
There was a faint flash of magic on the black cloak, which should be a magic item.
Beneath the cloak is a little man with dark skin and glowing orange eyes, and with this strange and small appearance, it is easy to mistake people for a fire giant child.
"Fire Gnome ......"
At the moment when he just passed by, Rod recognized what race the little man was.
Legend has it that this race originated from the weakness of the barrier between Elysium and the Fire Elemental Plane, and after countless years of toiling in the mines deep in the depths of a strange being, they created a hybrid creature with both dwarf and fire elemental traits.
Fire gnomes are extremely resistant to heat but are highly susceptible to cold, and while they share some common interests with their cousin, the Underground Gnomes, Fire Gnomes are far less withdrawn and paranoid than they are.
However, during the last Holy War years, they were banished to the Shadowlands for some reason.
Now.
This fierce and tenacious race has long since become a powerful race in the Shadowlands, and they occupy an area close to the underground volcano.
But Rhodes remembered that after the Shadowlands had fallen into complete chaos, the fire gnomes had formed an alliance with their nemesis, a powerful red dragon.
It's not just fire gnomes.
As Rhodes walked towards the tavern, he found a number of other dungeon races, and when he counted them, almost all the dungeons around Stormwind were alive.
Walking from the Furnace Block, Rhodes found out.
There seem to be a lot more people from other forces in Stormwind.
In fact, it's not hard to understand when you think about it.
With the current tension in and around Stormwind, any dungeon that is sensitive to the situation in the Shadowlands will have their eyes set on Stormwind.
More than six dungeon forces have sent their forces to gather in this area, trolls, fallen orcs, gray dwarves, gnolls, ...... These forces have gathered in the vicinity of Stormwind, causing the area to be like a powder keg.
Once detonated.
Most of the dungeons in the Shadowlands will be involved.
History has taught these dungeon lords of the Shadow Realm not to underestimate any regional events, in the chaotic history of the Shadow Domain, there have been several large-scale bloody battles caused by wars between two dungeons.
It's not just tensions.
The recent series of events in the territory of Stormwind City have made this group of exiles who seek power and power have to pay attention here.
Take, for example, the recent Operation Dawn in the Old Town.
Although it is said that the high-level of Stormwind City has blocked the old city and tried their best to suppress the news here, in the Shadow Domain, there are too many means to obtain the news, and it is impossible to hide it at all.
Of course, the higher-ups of Stormwind are clearly aware of this.
They simply gave up the right to develop the underground ruins, and since they couldn't eat alone, they simply threw them out to make some trades.
Whatever the reason, it's not hard to understand how many forces are gathered in Stormwind City right now.
But.
The angle of the station is different, and the things he sees are also different, in fact, there are too few ways for Rhodes to get the news, many things he doesn't know at all, and there are some more important reasons why these dungeons are gathered here.
"Who!"
Suddenly, Rhodes stopped, and the beheading sword in his hand was horizontal in front of him.
"Stop!"
A man in a blue cloak appeared on the flagpole in front of Rhodes, dressed much like some Assassin's Creed costume, and his face hidden under the cloak made him mysterious.
"Rod, someone wants to see you." This man speaks very directly, in a very blunt tone, and cannot be refused.
"Raven Guard?"
Although the man on the other side was dressed mysteriously, Rhodes saw a familiar pattern, a black crow-shaped vein.
Raven Guard, chasing the Raven of the Wind, the dark force of the Knights of the Windchaser, is generally responsible for handling the intelligence gathering, assassination, and reconnaissance of the Knights of the Windchaser.
They belong to a very powerful knight.
One of the Three Horsemen of the Storm, Grefa Falco.
