An hour later.

Finley wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and calmly took another tactical flashlight from Jin Shaolan's hand, replacing the original one in his hand. Ignoring Jin Shaolan's worried expression, he turned around and continued to move towards the depths of the cellar without saying a word. In the basement behind them, there were several dead rats lying in the corners of the corners. In order to distract the "restless shadows", the improvised rats rushed at the cold goblins at Finley's orders, and now there were no more loyal little things at his feet.

"Oh, teacher," Pilkin's pretended kind laugh came from behind him, "you need to be careful." After all, you two are my important juniors, aren't you? ”

Finley was silent, and walked into the passage ahead without looking back. Pilkin laughed, and the coldness hidden under the camouflage echoed in the cellar:

"Tut-tut! I'm counting on you to help me with this task. If you're going to die here, I'm going to have a headache. ”

Jin Shaolan's thin lips twitched, wanting to say something, but in the end he remained silent. Before that, he revealed some information about Karazan's mission eighteen years later, as a way to prove that he was worthy: he wasn't like Finley, a summoner who could temporarily recruit animal companions to work for him.

What he revealed was the World of Warcraft level 70 game quest he had previously requires, called "Ghost Activity". The publisher, Archmage Oturus, who is still unknown where, was troubled by the numerous ghostly activities that appeared in Karazhan and enacted this "easy" quest as a stepping stone for the player to enter the Violet Eye's line of sight. The quest is to kill the ghosts and ghosts that hovering outside Karazhan and collect 10 ghost essences from them.

Admittedly, the value of the information about "ghost activity" must be real, but the premise for this information to be applied is that the timeline is pushed back eighteen years, which is twenty-five years after the Dark Gate was opened. And now, it has only been seven years since the first opening of the Gate of Time and Space, which occupies a pivotal position in the history of Warcraft, and the mage of the Violet Eye has only recently begun to explore, and at this time Assas is still a prince at home. It was only after eighteen years for the mages to make a breakthrough in their quest, and the time frame of the game had already reached a considerable level of magical distortion that was only beginning to emerge, as were the cases of dead villagers turning into ghosts and the appearance of magical creatures. But as the old saying goes, "everything never changes." As long as Jin Shaolan does not follow the script, and reveals it to Pilkin as a "possibility" of existence according to the development trend on the timeline, the apprentice squad leader will definitely be able to appreciate its "authenticity".

It is true that after killing a wandering monster "Cursed Soul", Pilgin has verified the existence of "a hidden mission" in Jin Shaolan's mouth, and not only that, but the death of this goblin has also brought him a 50-point reputation boost for Dalaran and Violet Eye. Not only was this a surprise to Pilkin, but of course, as for Finley's injury in the fierce battle, of course, it was not included in his consideration.

When Pilgin couldn't wait to ask for details, all he got from Jin Shaolan was a vague hint and "as long as you continue to follow up, you will naturally find something". And he was only willing to reveal what he knew to Pilguin in small pieces, and the latter did not try to use coercion, but unfortunately as soon as the signs appeared, he firmly stated that either Pilkin could choose to let him take all the information to the grave, so that Pilkin could give it a try.

The thought of the stubbornness of this man, who was the polar opposite of his gentle, Sven appearance, made Pirkin feel a pang of annoyance in his chest, and at the same time became more and more interested in what was hidden in his head (I changed it several times and felt that this sentence was wrong, forget it...... I couldn't help but ask again:

"Hey, 'Doctor', 'Doctor Juniper'! The mission that Space has just released only hints for us to find clues about the ghostly activity of those mages, but what exactly are we going to find? Keep killing like this? You must know something, 'Juniperberry'? ”

Jin Shaolan half-turned around and glanced at him quietly. "Mr. Squad Leader," he said cautiously, "you just have to keep getting rid of the most mutated goblins, and if you do, the clues will appear before your eyes." ”

Pilgin was suddenly agitated again. For this guy who doesn't eat hard and soft, he is simply helpless. He hated the feeling that the initiative was no longer in his own hands, and couldn't help but curse:

'Damn!' Juniper berries, you're like a mossy stone at the bottom of the Thames! We're going to get you into a lot of trouble for clues to the mission, and you-"

"Your task, honorable squad leader, not ours."

Walking in the front, Finley, who was originally silent, interjected lukewarmly.

Pilkin was furious. A purple flame "soared" from his hand, reflecting the faces and figures of several people as if they were walking on the road to hell, and Jin Shaolan, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but feel a palpitation when the purple light lit up.

"'Teacher', do you think I don't dare to send you to Socrates?!" Pilkin snapped.

Finley still turned his back to them, his pace did not stop, and his voice was faint: "No, you won't, respected squad leader, you don't look like you're going to do such a boring thing before my use value is exhausted." ”

“…… You! Pilkin laughed angrily. At this time, the three of them had already walked out of the passage and entered another empty and deep wine cellar, and another ghost in the shape of an "evil lobster mage" wandered in front of them to save the tense atmosphere. Finley regained his previous silence and greeted him without saying a word.

This battle did not take up much of their time. Like the previous one, the Cursed Soul gave Pilkin a 50-point reputation boost, and after it let out a dying scream and the glowing dust gradually dissipated, leaving a ball of light floating in the air in its original place. It has a half-white, half-gray appearance, as if mixed with light and dust, and its appearance resembles an old laser ball that drops silver ash powder at the touch of it, and is used as a holographic projection the size of a child's fist.

"Yo, wasn't the key dropped? That's right, I can't have any misunderstanding about the drop of a ghost, hahahaha! ”

Pilgin let out a sinister laugh and pocketed the ball of light

This is a new understanding for Jin Shaolan, it turns out that the "three soldiers" obtained the loot in this way, which explains why the kitchen knives have never been seen in the ruins of Alterac to start searching the body after killing the enemy.

However, he was in no mood to pay attention to these things at this time. Jin Shaolan knelt beside Finley, the elegant tutor looked very embarrassed at the moment, and fell to the ground weakly, there was no obvious wound on his body, but the whole person was like being fished out of the water, the sweat on his forehead was trickling down, and his breathing was also very difficult, not only that, but the corners of his eyes and ear holes were slowly oozing blood. This is because he took most of the damage from the "cursed soul" just now.

"'Teacher', cheer up," Jin Shaolan was really helpless at this time, if Finley was suffering a traumatic injury, his first-aid knowledge in the real world would still come in handy, for some reason he could even make do with stitches and bandaging, but the "cursed soul" as a spirit creature did not have a physical attack method, but each attack caused a certain amount of mental damage to the living. At the end of the battle, it cast a "ghost strike" in a near-self-detonation way, the effect is to use a disembodied energy attack to cause area damage to the enemy, and its advanced ability is the famous "Banshee's Howl", the ferocity can be seen, Finley is only injured and does not die because this primary ability will be partially offset by the contractor's magic affinity, that is, the intelligence value, so Jin Shaolan found that he couldn't provide any help, except to help him wipe the cold sweat on his face.

Looking at his worried gaze, Finley tugged at the corners of his mouth, a helpless smile appeared on his blood-lost face. "'Doctor', you're really annoying."
