Chapter 20: Overture to the Dead I

The bright moon was hidden by dark clouds from the night. Gusts of wind crept in through the cracks in the rocks, and layers of dark clouds obscured the two bright moons, and the moonlight had disappeared from the land.

It was already the middle of the night, and the cries of night crows could be heard from time to time in the dark night sky. Locke raised his head and stared at the hidden moon in the sky, silently calculating the time, waiting for the moment when the darkness was at its strongest.

Three o'clock in the morning.

In the dark night of Riptide Castle, a dark figure appeared, in the darkness it was like a sharp blade cutting through the air, leaving behind the "hehe" sound produced by the friction of the air.

The gravedigger ghoul had come to Locke's side, and the ghoul respectfully took a gem from his palm and offered it to Locke.

"Is that really the case?" Locke took the gem from the ghoul's hand.

He didn't speak, but there was a stir in his heart, no matter what, the ghost lurking in the Riptide Castle finally began to act, and the illusion of the undead that he had just worked so hard to enter was finally about to be rewarded beautifully.

If captured, Locke will have a ghost, which will greatly increase his combat power and successfully bring the human forces of the Arathi Heights under his command.

But if that fails, Locke stares closely at the dark clouds in the night, and sees nothing in his eyes except the lightning that occasionally cuts through the clouds and tears the sky.

He won't fail because he's a knight anymore.

Locke glanced at the ghoul beside him, causing the ghoul to bow his head and look respectfully at Locke in front of him. Although most ghouls are irrational, they can basically analyze the strength of the enemy, and a powerful person like Locke can make it rise and fall with just one look.

The layers of dark clouds did not obscure Locke's vision, and after one last glance at the black sky, he turned and entered Riptide Castle.

Because, the dark forces are rising in the Riptide Castle.

He listened to the footsteps of the ghouls behind him, and then walked into the dark castle of Riptide Castle, as if he had not been reborn, but had wandered through the Necropolis of Naxxramas.

This made him feel a little in a trance, assuming that he was not reborn, would he still be willing to become the Lich King's killing machine at this moment?

Locke doesn't know the answer because there is no answer in the Scourge Legion.

………………

"Laurena, come along, let's get out of here."

Laurena looked at Miss Geral's back, this once reliable back, it looked so petite in the dark, which made her a little disappointed, the elite level of combat power could not solve her current situation, if Miss Gerala could reconcile with Locke and then run away together, it would be good.

The dark hallway looked like a haunted castle in the thunderstorm, though Laurena felt the same, and she followed the steps of the paladin Miss Gera and quickly walked into the dark corridor.

Gera drew her broadsword enchanted with the Seal of Light, and although she was a paladin of the Cathedral of the Storm and had destroyed many undead, she still felt a little timid at the moment. It was as if a beast had stared at her. But she didn't show it, she said loudly to Laurina behind her, "If there is danger, protect yourself with a shield." ”

The sound of crisp footsteps echoed through the dark corridor, which was particularly eerie in the silence and deserted corridor, and Miss Gera walked slowly in the darkness wearing full-body plate armor tattooed with the pattern of divine light.

Laurena followed behind Miss Gerala, and at this time, she pulled out the staff in her hand in good spirits, and the girl looked at Miss Gerala leading the way in front of her, with a hint of comfort in her heart.

After all, she is not a combatant and has no sense of fighting.

"Geral."

"I have the staff in my hand, and I will protect you with the Divine Fire...... The undead may be scary, but I can't run away from them. After Laurena said this in one breath, she added: "I'm sorry for the past few days. ”

Yes, this is the castle where Laurena's biological mother lived before her death, and after hearing some bizarre stories, the priest is somewhat timid.

"No, Laurena, you're a clever priest. It is your birthright to cleanse darkness from evil. Jayla said without looking back, the darkness in the air getting thicker and thicker.

Laurena looked at Miss Gera's back in a bit of a daze.

This sentence made Laurena a little uncomfortable, why did this Miss Paladin, who had no good feelings for nobles, talk like this today?

"The Light teaches us not to fear the darkness." Miss Jera added.

There was a long silence after that, and in the darkness, Laurena knew that it would be another thirty minutes before she could leave the castle.

That's enough time for a lot of things to happen.

…………

"Is there already movement?"

Locke looked at the ghouls beside him and immediately looked into the darkness in the castle. Although his voice was very low, his excited expression could not be concealed.

"Boy, can you really do it?" The Firedemon emerged from a distorted sheet of air, then froze its half-meter-tall body.

Locke nodded, this time the enemy was not only a ghost, but also a necromancer who controlled Riptide Castle, and of course, the shadow of the Cult of the Damned.

"No problem, I'm going to wipe out all the forces of the Cult of the Damned God in the Arathi Heights." Locke laughed.

It was already late at night, and there seemed to be a terrifying bloody mouth hidden in the thick darkness, trying to swallow all those who walked into the darkness, but flames danced on Locke's blade.

"Ghoul, go and summon your skeletons."

The ghoul nodded, and then roared indiscriminately, and in the dirt not far away, three skeleton soldiers came out of the dirt, these undead creatures are not very strong, and even the necromancer can't resist a spell, but now it has a use, that is, to explore the way in the dark.

"That little girl also left, she was really looking for death, and she would run out at such a moment." The Fire Demon said slowly.

Locke nodded, thinking that the necromancer should not be able to sit still, a priest who may change the political trend of Riptide Castle, and an elite-level paladin, Miss Gera, who can be made into materials for the death knight, will make the necromancer's heart move.

………………

"Your sister is leaving."

Almost at the same time, Prince Garin, who was sitting on the throne, also got the news from the paper in the hand of the attendant next to him, and with a gloomy face, he threw the note in his hand into the campfire, and the flame danced in his brown eyes.

"Let him go, anyway, he promised me that I could get Nanhai Town." Prince Garin whispered.
