An underground exchange south of Stormwind. Joshua slowly put away his twin knives, and more than twenty corpses lay at his feet. Almost all of the corpses had their throats slashed with a knife. The stiff face is unified with an expression of disbelief.

Joshua was just one of many bigwigs. He doesn't have an official backstage, so that's his limit. Further up, it's not something he can control. He knew this, so he had been careful to maintain that fragile balance. Until one day, the magician came to the door.

He proposes a task that is not uncommon in nature, but unprecedented in scale. Spread a certain message throughout the Eastern Kingdoms. Joshua keenly felt that this would be a turning point in his fate. He didn't know if it would go for the better or the worst. But he chose to take that step anyway.

The scale of the mission is constantly expanding. Stormwind, Stormwind Kingdom, Eastern Kingdom. and other continents. His team is far from being able to fulfill this commission.

"If you don't have enough people, recruit more people and expand your team." It was a warning that the magician had left for him, and he had also given him a ring. It was a magic ring.

"Take it with you and it will give you strength. Integrate all of Stormwind's intelligence trading points and use this as the center. Start scaling out. "I don't know when it started, but the task delegation has become an order. But Joshua didn't feel the slightest bit wrong. He had seen more than one magician. But compared to his new boss, those guys are only apprentices to magic. He had used magic in front of him more than once. But Joshua had never seen him say a single incantation.

A magician who doesn't chant spells. Joshua knew exactly what that meant. So he became the other party's subordinate. Because he estimated that the other party would not accept the refusal either. And the new boss seems to have an endless amount of gold. If you have money in your hands, your subordinates naturally don't have any extra thoughts.

Strangely, since following the mysterious mage, Joshua's team has never been harassed by the authorities. There was even a secret unit that once asked them to cooperate and work together to subvert a cult group. Joshua understood what that meant, and he didn't dare to have the slightest distraction in his heart.

Right now, this place is the last large-scale intelligence trading point in the Stormwind Kingdom. After the negotiation was hopeless, Joshua directly forced his way in and killed all the high-ranking people. Took over their channels.

A subordinate cautiously approached his boss. Ever since he put on that ring, the aura on the boss's body has given people a sense of danger.

"News from Dan Loren." The subordinate handed Joshua a dozen chapters of note.

Joshua put away his knives, took the note, and after looking through a few sheets, his face became a little solemn.

"Clean up this place." Joshua didn't explain much and left alone.

At this time, Lin Xuan was discussing some magical issues with Medivan.

"In my understanding, there are many factors that affect the war. Troops, equipment, momentum, popular support, logistics, etc. Logistics is arguably the most important point. There's no denying that. ”

"I agree with you, are you going to use magic to solve this problem? That would probably require all the magicians of the entire Dalaran Kenrito Council to barely supply a war. Medivan was a little unimpressed.

"What about the Dark Gate?"

"The Dark Gate uses demonic powers. You should know that we can't withstand that kind of power. ”

"We don't need to use evil energy as a source of energy. All we need is the basic theory of portals. Then try to use magical means to simulate it. We don't need to teleport across worlds, we just need to teleport in Azeroth. ”

"I'll admit it's possible, but first we need to parse the structure of the Dark Portal." Medivan was already getting excited. It was tempting for him to develop a new kind of magic that would transform the times.

"I don't need that, I think Khadgar has done the job, right?" Lin Xuan looked back at Khadgar on the side. Khadgar felt a little nervous when the two of them looked at him, and he couldn't speak a little bit.

"Uh, that...... When I interrupted the Dark Gate, I did parse its magical runes. But not all, and there are many that I don't understand at all. ”

"If you understand everything, then there's nothing wrong with us, right, Medivan."

Medivan was thoroughly intrigued.

"Tell me what you know."

At this time, Lin Xuan's face changed slightly. Then he stood up.

"Alright Medivan, I'm going to take care of some personal matters. Let's discuss the feasibility of the matter first. I'll discuss it when I get back. ”

At this moment, the two of them have long been caught up in the development of new magic. Completely ignoring Lin Xuan's departure. Lin Xuan's previous actions had already earned their trust.

In a tavern, Lin Xuan met Joshua, who had been waiting for a long time.

"Chief, there's some news from Dan Loren's side. It's something you've marked before. I've done a preliminary summary. As he spoke, he handed Lin Xuan a dossier.

Lin Xuan ordered a cup of dwarven dark beer, sat down, and carefully looked through the file. After a long time, he put away the file and fell into deep thought.

"What about news from other countries?"

"There is no news from the dwarves for the time being, and it will be difficult for us to infiltrate the High Elves, after all, they are notoriously xenophobic. However, Nororegan's gnomes seem to be in some trouble. But no definite information has yet arrived. Gilnes, Kurtilas, and Outalterac all have some trivial rumors. But it's not exact enough, so I didn't write it up. Time is running out to allow us to build a full intelligence system like Stormwind and Lordaeron. And Dalaran is clearly not something we can touch. ”

"Time is running out, you need to hurry. I want you to do everything that happens in the entire Seven Kingdoms and you are under control. ”

"Understood, I'll speed it up." Although Lin Xuan didn't have any radical words, Joshua couldn't help but be a little nervous. Hurriedly said that the progress would be accelerated.

The Cult of the Damned, which appeared much earlier than in the original plot. Not long ago, he had asked Khadgar to pass through Kenrito and inquire about Kel'thugad. The future founder of the Cursed Sect was still the star mage of Dalaran at this time. It should be some time before he becomes interested in dark magic. But the rudiments of the Cursed Sect have appeared.

It seems that the defeat on the orc side has begun to displease Kilgardan. It had already begun planning an invasion of natural disasters in advance. At this time, Nao Zu was not far from his complete depravity.

"Joshua, listen carefully. I'm going to do it yourself. This is not a problem that can be solved by gathering intelligence. The use of force will inevitably be used in this mission. ”

"It's been a long time since I've stepped out of the Stormwind Kingdom. I heard that Dan Loren is very prosperous, and I have long wanted to visit it. ”
