Chapter 7: The Scourge of the Dead

Leaving the Church of Light, Song Zheng began to return to his residence, at this moment it was already sunset, and the fiery red sunset was hanging on the huge bell tower of the Church of Light, making the originally white church seem to be plated with a layer of gold, looking very magnificent.

Song Zheng looked back at the majestic church, but he couldn't help but feel a little regretful in his heart, if he agreed to go to the Alterac Mountains with Little Abydis, maybe he could gain a lot of experience.

"It's a pity that I'm not a real hunter, and I don't know what skills the hunter profession will have after crossing......" Song Zheng secretly thought in his heart, if he could obtain a skill like beast taming, it would be very useful, at least he didn't have to worry about leveling.

A loud and chaotic sound caught Song Zheng's attention, it was a carriage galloping down the street, even in the denser part of the crowd, there was no intention of slowing down, making others look sideways.

However, because of the clear insignia of the Violet Eye of Dalaran on the outer wall of the carriage, many people who were about to spit on the carriage also secretly swallowed their saliva...... No one here wants to offend a high-ranking mage.

Song Zheng also didn't want to provoke the mage, so he avoided the road early, and was slandering in his heart that he had no privileges in his profession as a thief, but a burst of exclamations suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Get out of the way, kid!"

At the same time, the shrill neighing of horses sounded.

Song Zheng looked up, but it was a little girl holding a rag doll who ran to the middle of the road for some reason, and the coachman on the carriage from Dalaran had already scolded and finally began to slow down, but because the speed was too fast before, the horse still crashed into the little girl at a fast speed at this moment.

The little girl cried in fright, but she didn't know how to dodge.

Seeing that the fast horse was about to hit the little girl, Song Zheng didn't have time to think about it, and rushed over instinctively, relying on his thief's excellent speed and agility, and finally pulled the little girl to the side of the road before the horse's hooves stepped down.

A woman hurriedly rushed over, crying and hugging the girl, and after she nervously found that the girl was not injured, she relaxed and hurriedly thanked Song Zheng repeatedly.

The carriage finally came to a stop after rushing forward for dozens of meters.

However, the coachman did not apologize in the slightest, but scolded with anger on his face: "You woman is really damned, why don't you take good care of your child, if you startle my horse and disturb the noble mage, can you be responsible!" ”

Although the passers-by around had anger on their faces, they were afraid of the identity of the other party's Master Dalaran, but they didn't dare to say anything loudly, and could only muttered in private that this coachman was too arrogant.

The mage in the carriage did not make a sound the whole time, apparently acquiescing to the coachman's dominance.

Song Zheng shook his head lightly and walked past the carriage with a calm expression.

However, when he squeezed back into the crowd next to him, there was already a delicate money bag in his hand that had been reaching into his arms.

This is what he obtained by using the 'stealing' skill when passing by the carriage, which is also the power of the 'stealing' skill, even if it is through the wall of the carriage, as long as the distance is not more than half a meter, it can still be stolen.

"It's so heavy, the mages are really rich people......" Song Zheng felt the weight of the money bag, and his heart was slightly happy, but soon his face changed slightly, because from the feel of the hand, the things in the money bag did not look like gold coins.

For fear of arousing the suspicion of others, Song Zheng did not check on the spot, but walked around the most prosperous streets in the east before returning to his residence, and then he couldn't wait to take out the money bag.

But when he opened the money bag, he couldn't help frowning...... What appeared in front of him was a few gems, and they were black gems!

These gemstones don't have a bit of luster and have a chilly feel to the touch, which makes you want to stay away.

Song Zheng had stolen a lot of gems before, and judging from his past sales of gems, these lusterless black gems would definitely not sell for a few bucks in those pawnshops, and might not even sell them at all.

However, after thinking of the other party's mage identity, Song Zheng's heart suddenly moved.

"It won't be so unlucky, is this a magic gem that can only be used by mages......"

While magic gems are certainly more expensive than regular gems, they are also more difficult to sell and can be easily traced.

"It seems that the cooldown of a steal was wasted, but it can be regarded as a punishment for the arrogant mage." Song Zheng casually put those black gems aside, for safety reasons, this thing must not be sold, so it can only be left as a souvenir.

However, he soon discovered that there was also a very delicate crystal bottle in the money bag, which contained some green liquid, and he didn't know what it was.

In addition, there is a sealed letter.

Song Zheng casually opened the letter, wanting to see what kind of letter it was, and by the way, to learn about the identity of the mage.

"Master Gu Xin is now appointed to Nanhai Town to take full charge of the affairs of the church...... Song Zheng couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this, as far as he knew, there was only one Bright Church in Nanhai Town, why would a mage be in charge of managing it.

However, when he saw the signature and imprint at the end of the letter, he couldn't help but shudder.

"Barov? This is a letter from the Barov family! ”

Although he has not come into contact with the Nabarov family since coming to this world, Song Zheng is no stranger to the Barov family...... It was a once-wealthy noble family that controlled territory from Lordaeron to Tarunmere, and was the lifeblood of the kingdom of Alterac.

However, because the kingdom of Alterac mistakenly chose the side of the orcs in the battle with the orcs, and even helped the orcs attack Dalaran, as a result, after the defeat of the orcs, the kingdom of Alterana was retaliated by the Lordaeron Alliance, and the entire kingdom fell apart, and the once glorious Barov family also lost most of its territory, only retaining its manor on the island of Keldaron, and when the undead disaster arose, the Barov family in order to take revenge on Lordaeron, He also took refuge in the Lich King out of greed for power and immortality, and his manor on Keldaron Island became the core of the Cult of the Damned, known as the ...... in the game of Warcraft Psychic Academy!

Is the church spoken of in this letter a cursed church? Damn it...... The Scourge of the Dead is really coming! Song Zheng's hand holding the letter was trembling slightly.

He knew better than anyone how big the threat of the Undead Scourge was, the entire human race of Lordaeron would be devastated, and even after the failure of the Undead Scourge, Lordaeron fell into the hands of the Forsaken and was never recovered by humans again.

Thinking of this, Song Zheng couldn't help but start worrying about Cheng Yuan, who had joined Lordanlun's army.

Although Cheng Yuan was confident in trying to convince Arthas, the prince was a stubborn man and might not follow the advice of others.
