The night was dewy and the ocean monsoon, more than 100 kilometres away, affected most of the Hillsbrad Hills. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this time, in this woodland, which was far from the main road and far from the common people, Grand Duke Joraci Ravenhod of the Kingdom of Alterac personally met with Oss in private, with his newly acquired apprentices and trusted henchmen.

As Duke Choraci said, over the years, there has been a force of unknown origin that has infiltrated the entire kingdom of Alterac. Until now, even his alliance of assassins, in his Ravenhold manor, there have been some thieves who are not under his control, forming a very close-knit and thorny group.

If it weren't for the sudden turn for the better in this matter, Duke Choraci would not have wanted to show up rashly, let alone seek help from outsiders. And his original plan was, first, to prepare to suspend all operations of the Assassin Alliance; The second is to gradually close the Ravenhold manor until he completely finds out who is leading the force of unknown origin and what its purpose is.

It's just that this time, that time!

When Duke Choraci received the news that the forces were going to deal with Os, he knew that his opportunity had come! This is because Oss is not only the son-in-law of His Majesty Aiden Pirenod, not an outsider, but also a child of light of the Church of Light, a paladin who can be willingly "borrowed"!

In Duke Choraci's projections, no matter what his identity is, there is no reason for Oss to refuse to cooperate with him!

In fact, as Duke Choraci had expected, Oss immediately knew what was going on when he heard it, and was willing to listen to Duke Choraci continue. And the forces that have infiltrated the Alterac Kingdom, Oss is naturally clear - His Majesty the Black Dragon King Nesario!

At this moment, as Duke Choraci appeared, and the conversation continued, the wails around him gradually faded away.

In the distance, the true henchmen of Duke Chorazi, those incomparably elite thieves, were silently and neatly treating the young apprentices who had been injured by Oss and Khadgar.

Seeing this, Oss first lightly stepped on the ground with his right foot, and his spiritual power flourished along the earth, unlocking the petrification seal. Then he made his friendly stance: "Let me treat them." ”

As he spoke, Oss raised his hands and aligned his thumb, index and middle fingers to form a triangle.

However, Duke Chorazi took a slow step forward, but in an instant, he crossed the distance of three meters that he had just retreated. His left hand gripped Os's right wrist and praised him, "Praise you for your integrity and selflessness, Your Excellency, son of light, but this little injury will not bother you." I'm glad that my unsuccessful apprentices were able to survive a failed operation, and the enemy they'll face in the future won't be a paladin like you. ”

Oss nodded and lowered his hands: "Can I know if the enemy you are talking about is the enemy I think you are?" ”

The way the nobles talk with each other is always something to say, and they never say anything to death, nor do they ever take a stand in a few words.

In contrast, Oss is much more direct.

"I think our enemies are unanimous, after all, I've been watching the four-clan alliance talks from beginning to end." Duke Jorazi knew that Oss was still the King of the Dwarves, and of course he knew what Oss really cared about, "Burning Legion!" ”

Oss nodded again, and after a moment's thought, said with some reservations: "It's Count Presto. ”

Behind Os, Onexia shuddered involuntarily, and the body of the Terran girl looked trembling! Even if she only heard the name of her father's incarnation in the human race, it could still evoke her memories and make her feel terrified!

Duke Choraci nodded noncommittally, neither agreeing nor asking any further questions. To say that he doesn't have his own guesses and information, it is definitely impossible, and when it comes to the people who are most suspicious, they are naturally those lords who have suddenly appeared over the years and have been divided into territories by His Majesty Aiden.

Sensing that Oss would not be vain, Duke Choraci made it clear and said, "In three hours at the latest, the first wave of people who really want to kill you will arrive." ”

Oss frowned, raised his eyes and looked at Duke Choraci, and asked, "What do you think I should do?" ”

Duke Choraci simply replied, "To kill or not to kill is entirely up to you." ”

Today, Os's phrase "My sword, do not kill" has been passed down by word of mouth among the aristocratic class of the Terran kingdoms, and it is famous. Even among the general public, there are many who have heard that the Church of Light has produced a good man who never kills.

Faced with Duke Choraci's seemingly true and false words, Oss did not respond immediately, he was waiting, waiting for Duke Choraci himself to say his true intentions. And the reason why Oss is not in a hurry is actually because no matter what Duke Chorazi's intentions are, he is dealing with Count Presto and calculating His Majesty the Black Dragon King.

Sure enough, seeing that Oss did not respond, Duke Choraci reminded him pointedly: "I cannot, and no one can question the beliefs and principles of a paladin. However, Your Excellency the Child of Light, the current situation is difficult, and the Alliance army led by Sir Lothar is not far behind, not to mention defeating and retreating, and occasionally winning can hardly affect the entire battle situation. At this time, the kingdom of Alterac, as the rear, if something happens again. ”

Before the words are finished, there is no need to finish them, everyone present can understand it at a glance.

Oss finally replied, "Don't worry, Duke, I will make the right choice. ”

It was the words that Duke Joraci wanted, and he assured: "Then, please rest assured that Your Excellency the Children of Light will be there to assist Ravenhold and the Assassin Alliance to provide you with a steady stream of information in the shortest possible time." ”

This was unexpected, but it was a reasonable help, and Oss asked, "How do I get in touch?" ”

Duke Choraci smiled, although his smile was not ostentatious and very kind, but the confidence that came out of his bones could not be concealed: "As long as you don't deliberately hide your traces, my people can find you." For example, this time, when you and your companion leave New Taquilin on the front foot, someone will send me a message on the back foot; You walked out of the Violet Gate with your front feet, and then your Excellency the Mage sent you information on your whereabouts, including the fact that you ordered a full table at the Hero's House; And when Her Highness Gianna and Deliana left for another drink, you were gone, and it took me and my men only seven hours to arrive here to meet you. ”

Oss stared at Duke Jorazi without blinking, and the intelligence capabilities of the Assassin League terrified him!

On the side, Khadgar, who was a mage, exclaimed in surprise and asked incredulously, "Wait, wait a minute, Your Excellency Duke, are you a mage?" Listen to you, there are quite a few mages in Dalaran who have joined your Assassin Alliance? ”

"It's cooperation, Lord Khadgar." Duke Chorazi didn't care about Khadgar's impolite questioning tone, and after a bow, he said, "Your return to Dalaran is not long, so I don't know it, it's almost a secret on the surface." ”

Khadgar asked again, "What do you say?" ”

"As a mage, you should know that the daily use of mages is really huge, and it consumes a lot, such as further study, research, experiments, purchasing materials, traveling and investigating, etc., if you count the daily maintenance of the magic tower, the cost is undoubtedly astronomical for ordinary people."

The expression on Khadgar's face froze suddenly, and then he realized that since he had taken over most of the teacher's property, he had not had a headache about expenses at all! Including the Kenrito Council and the Violet Eye, they also often pay for him!

Duke Chorazi's eyes were extremely sharp, and as soon as he saw Khadgar's expression, he understood what was going on: "Therefore, most of the mages will exchange some information, magic items, rare beasts, experimental items, and so on for gold coins to maintain the huge expenses in Dalaran. It's just a win-win cooperation model, and the Kenrito Council is also aware of it. ”

Khadgar was speechless and embarrassed to say anything more, could it be that he still admitted that he was an upstart and had never understood the current situation of the mages!?

After an innocuous episode, Oss said to Duke Choraci, "Now that the cooperation has been agreed, there is not much time left, Lord Duke, you and your men should leave quickly." ”

Duke Choraci waved his hand and said, "The war in the south is the most important thing, and this wave of people should also be solved by me." ”

"Why?"

"Because this wave of people is still from the League of Assassins."

"I see." Oss was no longer verbose, and immediately saluted, "Then I'll leave it to you." ”

"Goodbye, good luck." The Duke of Choraci also did not delay any longer, and after saluting, he watched the four of them pack up the supplies of the camp and fly away.

Time passed, and only two hours later, when the four of Oss flew over the Arathi Heights and saw the morning light rising far away in the east, the men who had really assassinated Oss arrived at the woodland ahead of schedule.

This wave of stinging guests was covered in camouflage, wearing a uniform style of dark green night clothes, and the number of people was about twenty or so. As soon as they arrived, they saw "a mess" of woodland.

"My lord, the target is gone, there was a battle here!"

The leader did not speak, and there was no sound of wind between walking and stopping, let alone the slightest sound, and he was firmly at the grandmaster level! He walked slowly to the already cooled campfire, inspected the camp, and ordered in a changed voice: "Spread out, don't let any trace go!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

"Yes, sir!"

The twenty-odd Assassins immediately took orders and scattered, inspecting inch by inch, a radius of several kilometers centered on the camp.

The darkness before dawn, incomparably silent, without any breath of living people nearby. But right next to the chilling campfire, opposite the leader of the wave of Assassins, Duke Jorazi Ravenhod was standing motionless.
