Chapter 18: Wayne's Failed Actions
As usual, Baron Rivendell returned to his home after the changeover. He was well known in the aristocratic circles of Stratholme, and not only because of his wealth. Through the shadow of his ancestors and his own efforts, he obtained his position as a knight in the army of Lordaeron - the commander of Stratholme.
The dutiful knight accompanied his wife and son to his room after dinner, then opened the mechanism on the bookshelf and entered the revealing secret door.
There was only a faint oil lamp in the chamber. In the dim light, it was completely impossible to see the face of the person who had been waiting in the secret room.
"You see my mark." The figure turned and was facing the light.
"Yes, Kel'thugad." Rivendell sat across from him and asked with concern, "What happened?" ”
Kel'thugad frowned slightly: "There may be a traitor among us. The psychic academy was destroyed. ”
"What!" Rivendell looked at him in surprise, "So what do we do?" ”
"Don't worry, my friend. A little setback, and soon we will regain our strength and become stronger. Kel'thugad revealed the Cauldron of Plague behind him and pointed to the boiling green liquor inside, "I have successfully developed the plague, and our time is coming. ”
Rivendell looked at it in surprise and said feverishly, "You're a genius, Kel'thugad. Now, what do I need to do? ”
"We need some help," Kel'thugad smiled wickedly, "You told me that a dozen orcs robbed Stratholme the other day, and one of them almost killed Gavinrad, the powerful first paladin. Its body must be strong. ”
"I see, I'm going to find a way to get their corpses here!"
……
There is no doubt that Wayne's abilities fully deserve the title "Night Hunter". Using her special ability to sense evil, she quickly captured the aura of that target, Kel'thugad. She came to a majestic city, and she could feel that Kel'thugad was hidden in the city.
But she overlooked several important points: first, this was not Valoran, no one knew her reputation, and no one knew her mission; Second, an important strategic city like Stratholme is a no-fly zone; Third, the gatekeeper is Rivendell, who has already secretly fallen into darkness.
So she was first targeted by the crossbow of the city's defenses, and drank to land her for inspection. In order not to conflict with these "natives", she did so. Then the city guards need her identification: because of the recent purge of the Cursed Sect, the city defense is closely screening a person whose identity is suspicious. Wayne's dress doesn't look like an ordinary person.
Of course, Rivendell, the secret high-level of the Cursed Cult, is the commander of the city defenses, and the real members of the Cursed Sect have been let go by him, and those who may have threatened them have been detained.
For example, the huntress in front of her who keeps saying that she wants to hunt down the leader of the Cursed Sect, Kel'thugad!
Although Rivendell is calm on the surface, she is terrified inside: does she really have a special ability to hunt down, or does she happen to come to the door?
Either way, he had to stabilize the dangerous woman first, and then let Kel'thugad avoid it.
Rivendell looked dutiful and said, "I'm sorry, ma'am, we don't know what Valoran is, and we want you to show a league-approved identification." Otherwise, we can't allow you to enter the city. Recently, the remnants of the Cursed Sect are on the move, and we can't afford to let anyone suspicious go. ”
Wayne looked coldly at the dutiful knight, and although on the surface it seemed that his behavior was impeccable, her instincts told her that there was something wrong with this person.
"My commander and Angel of Judgment Kyle were personally involved in the encirclement of the cultists, and I was ordered to purge the remnants of them. Are you sure you want to stop me? She looked coldly at Rivendell.
Rivendell felt a little uncomfortable under the gaze of those strange red glasses, and he tried to calm down: "Please show me your identification, or we will hold you for the time being until the investigation is clear, or someone can prove it for you." ”
At his signal, nearby guards surrounded Wayne.
"You have the breath of that man in you," Wayne finally confirmed her instincts, she stared at Rivendell tightly, and the huge arm crossbow behind her instantly appeared in her hand, and the winding Holy Silver Crossbow arrow pointed at Rivendell, "You are a fellow Kel'thugad, Cultist!" ”
"Catch this crazy woman!" Rivendell shouted, then quickly retreated into the crowd, and nearby guards rushed over.
Wayne stared at Rivendell, knowing she had no chance. She deftly dodged the guards and jumped back onto the griffon. A cold voice came from high in the sky: "Wait, cultist who has fallen into darkness, you will be purified by my Holy Silver Arrow Crossbow!" ”
Rivendell was horrified when he saw the madwoman fly away, and the moment he was pointed at by the crossbow, he really felt the breath of death. That's horrible!
The guards looked at him with a little suspicion. Rivendell forced himself to compose himself and explained to them, "This woman doesn't even have identification, she is probably an evil cultist of the Cursed Sect, we need to guard the city gates, and we can't let them get through the trick!" ”
……
"I was negligent," Jiang Weihan patted his forehead in annoyance after listening to Wayne's report. He had almost forgotten the history of Baron Rivendell, who had been pushed hundreds of times in order to farm DK horses, had secretly defected to the Cursed Sect and was good friends with Kel'thugad.
It now appears that Kel'thugad is hiding in the house of Baron Rivendell. However, as soon as this time is delayed, I am afraid that the other party will have fled without a trace.
But it's not too late to make amends. Jiang Weihan immediately found Ferdin, who was now in charge of cleaning up the ruins of the Psychic Academy, and after listening to Wayne's report, the other party's eyes widened and said, "Kel'thugad dares to hide in Stratholme, where the headquarters of the Silver Hand is located?" It's unbelievable! ”
"As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is also the safest place, it's dark under the lights!"
"I'll go to Andohal at once, where there is a griffon station of the kingdom to fly to Stratholme." Fording was resolute and set off immediately. Of course, with Wayne, he didn't know anything about the abilities of the new huntress next to Jiang, and he didn't expect to almost catch a big fish as soon as he set out - but unfortunately it was ruined by a traitor.
"Don't get your hopes up!" Jiang Weihan shouted.
"If I can find him the first time, I can find him a second time!" Wayne said coldly.
Jiang Weihan turned back to the angel and said, "Wayne is really an anxious child, and she is still a workaholic. ”
But isn't it, after summoning her to appear, I immediately asked about the task, started the pursuit as soon as I could, came back to find assistance as soon as I encountered difficulties, and then left as soon as I could.
Kyle didn't take the topic, but said, "Commander, I have some people who are also in Valoran. In order to deal with the possible Scourge Legion and the Burning Legion demons in the future, I hope you will put summoning them on the agenda. ”
"You have a point, angels are indeed the nemesis of the undead and demons. In a few days we will go to the royal city of Lordaeron to see how the deliberations go. If I can get a territory, I'll summon them in my own territory, and if not, we'll go to Hinterland and grab some territory with the forest trolls there. Jiang Weihan nodded in agreement, and it was also a long-time idea to hit his idea on the troll. After all, there are natural dangers all around Hinterland, and the Hammer Dwarves are easy to get along with. The most important thing is that the trolls there are easier to bully - since their main force joined the orc tribe and was defeated in the last great war, the remnants of the Troll tribe in Hinterland have been left to hide in the forest.
"Are you willing to learn how to master our divine powers?" Kyle asked suddenly.
Jiang Weihan was stunned and said, "Can I learn?" ”
"Yes," Kyle nodded, "the power of the Holy Light wielded by the human paladins here is essentially similar to the power wielded by our angels. New members of the Silver Hand are baptized once they join, and the official paladins use a ritual to allow him to feel and master the Light. Our people have a similar approach. While we are born with the power of God, some of the other races that are attached to us do not. So we developed a blessing ritual so that people who are not angels can also grasp the divine power. ”
She paused, "This ritual requires three angels to perform. ”
"Is it true that if I master the divine power, I can learn to be invincible, ah no, divine protection?" Jiang Weihan asked expectantly.
"Yes."
"Then I have to learn!" Jiang Weihan said loudly. This is not a game, you can run away when you die, or have a priest read a resurrection, in real Azeroth, it is common knowledge that people cannot be resurrected from the dead - only mortals, of course.
Demigods can be resurrected. It's just that it comes at some huge cost.
As a mortal, Jiang Weihan felt that if he could be invincible, he might have one more life!
He had asked Fordin if the Paladin would be invincible before, and Fordin looked at him in surprise and asked: How can there be such a skill that allows people to avoid all damage?
Jiang Weihan said in his heart that there really is: Kyle will.
Of course, the game of League of Legends not only has a resurrection skill, but also a resurrection item, and even a summoner skill "Rebirth" - although there are basically no people with it. If you do, most of them will be reborn teleportation.
However, true summoners do not resurrect, and the abilities related to heroes are greatly limited.
In the Jade Dream before, Jiang Weihan asked the old man if he could resurrect a person with his ultimate, and the old man said "yes", and Jiang Weihan was full of joy at the time - because Kiran taught him the magic of time, and when he mastered it well enough, he could also turn back time.
Then Kiran immediately poured cold water on him: every time this magic took effect, he would be permanently deprived of his lifespan, and the stronger he was, the more he would be deprived. Because this kind of magic that forcibly interferes with the timeline will inevitably be punished by time.

PS: So happy!
