This notebook, which Curayne stumbled up, undoubtedly overjoyed the two. Flipping through the notebook, there are some explorations of the village and some points summarized by the original owner of the notebook, among which the two of them have explored the part of the two of them confirmed that the accuracy is quite high.

In this way, it is obvious that this is the remnant of the contractor who came to Karazhan yesterday before the two of them.

It wasn't clear why he or they had forgotten the notebook with Blacksmith Curain, but some of the contents recorded in it were quite helpful to Jin Shaolan and Finley. Naturally, the two of them would not copy the results of the investigation on this notebook, but it was still a pretty good idea to use it as the direction of the afternoon investigation.

Not only that, but the previous contractor also recorded such a clue in his notebook: although the ghosts outside at night will become ferocious, the ghosts of the townspeople will also be more active and "awake"; Although it was best not to go out at night for safety, as they had seen when they came in the morning, the Karazan was surrounded by a haze that was difficult to tell whether it was a shadow or a fog, and the western side of the territory was surrounded by mountains, so it was already dusk around half-past three to four in the afternoon—which was obviously a better time to investigate.

Therefore, the two of them were busy all afternoon with crystals and recording the data of magic fluctuations, preparing to follow the clues in the notes to see them later. Although the message on the notebook is not necessarily true, there is no danger during this time period, so it doesn't hurt to try.

In fact, Jin Shaolan knew what Lavion and the others were looking for—or rather, he at least knew where to look:

The Magical Mobility Node that the Mages are looking for is actually located deep in Medivan's Cellar, right in the village, which is a must-do quest when the game opens to the corresponding expansion, published by the aforementioned Archmage Oturus.

Like a lover of horses, the solitary Master Medivan was also fond of fine wine, so much so that he even dug a huge cellar not far from the Mage's Tower to store fine wines brought from all over the continent. At its peak, Karazan was frequented by a large number of guests, who were so impressed by the frequent feasts that they had to hire people to throw away the empty barrels that were drunk every day...... It was a big, glorious day.

Eighteen years later, the Violet Eye Mages, after a preliminary exploration of the Karazan energy lineage, have discovered that the depths of Medivan's cellar are a node of distortion and convergence.

In this way, because Jin Shaolan had already known about this task from the game in advance, he also tried to go directly to the wine cellar to investigate. Sadly, as he feared, it was no longer the ghosts of the villagers, but a plethora of mana creatures—elemental-like creatures condensed by arcane energy or the power of the Void, often referred to as "void creatures"—whose talents would be limited in their ability to do so and "hostile behavior" would be broader in the face of non-flesh and blood, or even emotion or even intelligence. Realizing this, he gave up his attempt.

In addition, as he thought when he assessed the risk before, if you can see the ghosts, it means that the ghosts can also see you - they can attack these ghosts, and according to the content of the game's quests, killing these villagers to free them from the fate of eternal bondage should also have a chance to obtain the quest item "Ghost Essence", and give it to the mages to get a relatively rich reward.

Changing to a legal contractor with considerable combat power can go one step further on the mission assigned by Master Lavion, clean up the violent ghosts, delve into the cellar, and find the deepest hidden clues. And whatever he found out of the ordinary—after all, the mages themselves didn't know what they were looking for, not to mention their love of reading books in Karazhan's library. If an adventurer does this apprenticeship to the point where he can investigate and kill monsters, collect and explore, the mages are destined to be overjoyed and look down on him.

…… However, the premise is that you can investigate, kill monsters, collect and explore all in one.

For Finley and Jin Shaolan, the two charismatic people, the problem they originally had to face was that they couldn't do it if they didn't have combat effectiveness......

Jin Shaolan realized that after wasting a whole day, if he continued to advance in a normal way, then he could only rely on his talent to complete the investigation requested by Dalaran in a decent manner for the rest of the time; Not only that, but in this side line, the shadow "influence" brought by the high charisma attribute does not allow him to assist his allies on a large scale as he did yesterday (besides, he has no allies to speak of except for his new friend Finley). But the previous day's experience in Alterac had made him no longer satisfied with just completing the task to a lower standard, and Jin Shaolan decided that no matter what his friend Finley thought, he decided to take a certain risk in pursuit of a better outcome. Finley made the same decision, which was more of a boost of confidence than a "stronger resolve".

lived up to Finley and Jin Shaolan's expectations, and the clues recorded by the owner of the note were indeed true.

As the hands of the clock approached four o'clock, the townspeople became more active, and the ghosts of old people and children appeared in the streets. After some inquiry, Jin Shaolan and Finley not only learned more about the strange things that Karazan had appeared before Archmage Medivan left, such as the strange light source in the tower and the wandering apparitions, but also learned from them about many apprentices who had come and left one after another.

At first, the three mages were accompanied by their own apprentices, but it wasn't long before the apprentices soon left because they couldn't endure the hardships, and only Pilkin, who later became the class leader, was left. The same was true of the apprentices who were later sent by the City of Mages. And the few adventurers with magical qualifications who came yesterday seemed to be a group of people, they were obviously quite able to endure hardships, and they seemed to have gained a lot at the end of the day. In the end, it seems that something important has been discovered, and they even mysteriously go somewhere. At that time, the ghosts of the townspeople who saw them said that the joy and greed on the faces of several people were impressive.

Finley and Jin Shaolan glanced at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes that could not be concealed. The contractors who came yesterday had apparently made a huge profit after discovering something, and in order to hide their gains from Master Dalaran (or they knew that they couldn't hide their own gains from Master Dalaran), they simply did not say goodbye. Anyway, there are ways to increase Dalaran's reputation, and judging by their experience so far, the reputation they have earned will not be deducted - or at least not at the level of "Friendliness" and the following stages that the mission requires them to achieve.

Naturally, even if the two of them rush to go now, they will definitely not be able to get any leftovers, but Jin Shaolan and Finley are quite self-aware of their own strength, and they don't make such unrealistic hopes, they just want to go through the "discovery journey" of the "predecessors" again to find out and confirm what they have gained. It can be expected that when they learn the details and report back, it will bring a lot of prestige to both of them.
