Chapter 16: Suspicion
"Ding......
"You have completed the quest [Kill the Troll] and gained 3500 experience points!"
After a bit of fighting, Kael'thas finally killed his first true enemy. Blue was almost finished, and Kael'thas was about to make bread to recover, but Liadline was the first to hand him a bottle of water.
"Here, Your Highness..."
It was a small water bladder of water, and Kael'thas knew that these special waters contained magical powers, which could speed up mana recovery when the battle stopped, and was one of the must-have items for professionals other than mages.
He was a little curious about what it tasted like, so he took it and drank it without hesitation.
Some of the dull heads suddenly began to wake up, and the feeling was similar to the refreshment brought by eating mint in the previous life, probably, the people of this world relied on this feeling to recover their mana......
But Kael'thas had a different mana than theirs, and he slowly realized this as he learned the Arcane Way. He is completely different from other people's systems, and the blood return to blue after eating can be directly seen, for example, now, he can see that the mana lake in his brain is recovering at an exaggerated rate of 1% per second, and the blood return from injuries is estimated to be the same.
But others are different, they are just like real people, skills are not learned immediately, and Huilan is only relatively accelerated, and the blood recovery is even more exaggerated, just to restore physical strength and scars. If you are really seriously injured, if you have a broken limb or something, you have to ask the help of a pastor or a pharmacist.
Kael'thas hadn't been so badly injured, but he had a hunch that he didn't need such help.
Thinking about it this way, in fact, this body is his biggest golden finger!!
However, for Kael'thas now, mana has also become the most critical constraint, it has not changed much since birth, it is too little! Although the skill is actively following the level and increasing the attack power, he is definitely not as good as others in such a long-term battle, and the skill cannot support the advanced one, the key is to upgrade......
His eyes looked at the lake of mana in his head, this small lake was shrouded in a heavy barrier, as his level increased, it seemed that the barrier would become weaker and weaker, and the nearest barrier had begun to sway....
When you hand in the herbal task, it will be about level 16, and after a few more levels, it is estimated that you will be able to pierce it......
At that time, the mana cost of the skill will be relatively reduced!
"Did the signal go?"
After taking the last sip of water, Kael'thas said to Liadeline that her mana was used very little, so she had long since recovered her spirits.
"Yes!"
Liadeline nodded, she had already sent the signal of an encounter at the beginning of the battle, and someone should be there at this time.
"See what's on that troll?"
Kael'thas frowned, and commanded, he always felt that this troll appeared strangely. It didn't seem to have any intention of attacking at first, otherwise Kael'thas and they should have been attacked, and it was clear that the troll was the one who had come to detect.
And the fact that it didn't call out to its companions all the time seemed to prove that.
But that's even weirder......
Liadline picked up the corpse of the troll thief, a priest born and raised on the front lines, who did not resist such a job at all, leaving Kael'thas slightly ashamed.
He hated to clean up the bodies......
"Your Highness, I didn't find anything, only this map!" Liadline came back with a tattered fur and reported that it was a map, and Kael'thas looked at it, it was crudely drawn with a knife, but it was just an ordinary map of the vicinity, and he knew less than Kael'thas knew.
He flipped through it, and when he was sure there were no secrets, he was slightly disappointed.
But it's normal, trolls don't stupidly let a low-level thief reveal any secrets.
At this time, the rescue team came with the sound of birds......
“……”
Kael'thas snarled his ears over the sound of the birds, the speed of the group was astonishingly fast, and in just a few minutes, it was already in front of him.
Exceptionally tall chocobos, neat teams, and murderous mature faces, this is a team of rangers... No, it's a group of far-travelers!
The High Elves Far Wanderers are a small but skilled army of rangers, the elite of all rangers, who have dedicated their lives to defend the frontiers of Quel'Thalas for thousands of years. In fact, they are treated with great respect and admiration by the public, and for so long the Far Travelers have been regarded as the most heroic and glorious spirits, in return for their long and selfless dedication.
Even the Supreme Commander of the Far Wanderers was given a unique title - Ranger Admiral of Quel'Thalas.
"I beg your pardon for being late, Your Highness..."
A handsome man came out of the procession of Far Wanderers, who looked at the troll's corpse in some surprise before saluting Kael'thas.
"I'm Dalma Morningstar, leading the team from the Far Wanderer camp below!"
They are also one of the most loyal of the team, and no one will fail to recognize members of the royal family.
"No, you're already fast." Kael'thas shook his head, he didn't expect it to be the Far Wanderer who came to the rescue, and it was understandable that there was a Far Wanderer camp at the bottom of the lake.
While they were talking, several of the Far Travelers had already begun to pack up the troll's corpse, and Liadline was called in for questioning.
"A low-level troll thief?"
Soon after the information came out, Dalma raised an eyebrow.
"Questions?"
Kael'thas asked, his eyes lit up. Dalma nodded: "It's indeed a bit strange, our arcane mages have set up dense protective magic on the front line, and no one should be able to break through!" ”
[Especially if it's so low-level, it's even more impossible......]
Dalma thought this in his head, but he said something else to Kael'thas:
"Still, there's always one or two that slip through the net."
"Your Highness, don't worry, I'll order someone to search carefully!"
Kael'thas smiled, noncommittal. Dalma's words confirmed his conjecture, and he was already looking forward to it.
After 7 years of following a powerful mage, no one can appreciate the power of a High Elf arcane mage better than Kael'thas, especially the magic set up by countless arcane mages on the front line, how can there be such a big loophole? If a high-level troll can make sense, a low-level troll can't.
There is clearly only one possibility.
That's when the trolls have another way into the back of the Woodlands!
And this road, Kael'thas also vaguely guessed where - Amani's tomb. There is only one relatively large mountain in the interior of the Woodlands, and the mountain in the game hides the ancient Troll Tomb. Before the High Elves established their kingdom, it was where Amani's trolls buried their compatriots.
If there was a path to the back of the Woodlands, there was no more doubtful place to go. Coincidentally, that mountain happened to be nearby......
This is not the time of the undead scourge, so the undead, the dead, and the like should not appear under the arcane light of Quel'Thalas, and if anything, they would have been wiped out long ago.
If there is no threat of the undead in Amani's tomb, then the danger should not be great. The troll thieves he had just killed were also low-level, and Kael'thas guessed that even if the trolls had any conspiracy, they would not dare to send high-level ones before they carried it out, as it would be too easy for sensitive arcane mages to find out. On the contrary, the low-level comparison will not attract the attention of the elves, and they will not know a lot of secrets......
He was almost sure that the troll thief's job just now was to survey the map......
The trolls, who want the map of the current Jungle Land, must be planning a huge conspiracy!!
"Ding..."
"You've received the task [Find the source of the troll]!"
The system's prompt sounded, and sure enough, it was triggered for Kael'thas to go.
He'd tried to trigger some tasks that he couldn't do before, but he couldn't. So, the quest hint at this time proves his judgment, and his level is enough to complete this quest!!
It's so awesome that Kael'thas looks at his inactive title (Cross-Dresser) and doesn't expect to be able to use it so quickly.
"So, Your Highness! Let's escort you back first..."
After dealing with some business, the troll's body was carried away by several travelers, Dalma told Kael'thas.
Kael'thas refused.
"I'll go back to Yuemian Village, no need, soon!"
"Please don't refuse, Your Highness...", but Dalma didn't listen to him, he brought two beautiful chocobos, smiled at Kael'thas and said, "Escort you back, this is our apology for not arriving in time..."
Kael'thas was moved, the Distant Traveler's chocobos were a head taller than ordinary chocobos, and hearing that anyone with permission could ride them made him wonder what was the difference between them.
He looked over to Liadeline, her eyes shining at him, and her expression was eager to try it, as if she wanted to experience it too.
"Well..."
Kael'thas agreed, and then sat on the chocobo's back with Dalma's help.
Liadline then got her wish, and they ran towards the village of Moon, accompanied by the Travelers.
The two of them hadn't learned to ride yet, but these well-trained chocobos were so smart that they could carry them alone without the help of others, as rumored to be!
And it seems that he knows that there is a noble man sitting on him, and the chocobo, Kael'thas, is very docile and moves forward. As it walked, it was fast, but unexpectedly steady, causing Kael'thas to look at its feet from time to time, wondering if it had four legs.
This made Kael'thas and Liadline get off their mounts when they arrived at the Crown Village, and they were quite reluctant.
[You can learn to ride at level 20!] 】
Seeing the sunset, the figures of the far-away travelers scratching the wind. For the first time, Kael'thas looked forward to his future mount, and he looked to the side, as did Liadeline, her eyes full of longing.
Kael'thas couldn't help but smile, and a glimmer of light flashed in his head at the same time:
I don't know, what would it be like to ride a dragon?
