Chapter 247: Jobika's Message
The solitary sunset slowly settles against the desert horizon, and the dunes are lined with dark colors, revealing a deep red. The desert waves, which supported the setting sun, froze, like a sleeping sea. The battle is just over. Li Quan stood alone in the sand dunes, and his vision was full of chaos.
Three days earlier, he had received a letter from the Druid's Council of Cenarion asking for help, and had come to Silissus, a desert city where he could see the devastated Druid Quarters and the swarm of insects.
The long-dormant temple of Angela quietly opened a few weeks ago, and countless giant worms poured out of it swept through it. The news didn't get out until days ago. The forces of the Order that the Druids had placed here were losing ground. Unfortunately, the Alliance and the Horde on the two continents are in a delicate period of mutual balance, and at this time, the druids can only turn to other forces for help.
Li Quan came to Silisus. In fact, the plague of Silysus was already on his agenda, and the gates of Angela were about to open, and he would not allow a catastrophe to unfold under his control.
Li Quan descended from heaven like a divine soldier, and when the Cenarion Council was about to be completely defeated, he brought a large number of mutated plants into the battle.
The situation was immediately reversed. The giant cobra bottle grass, a mutated plant specially cultivated by Li Quan for the Angela bugs, is so powerful that the druids will never forget.
This mutant plant prototype is taken from a peculiar plant on Earth called "Cobra Bottle Grass". It is an insectivorous plant. Because it looks like a cobra, it is also known as cobra grass.
It itself secretes a large amount of molasses to attract insects, and the insects will be attracted by the smell to the mouth of the bottle, and follow the molasses into the insect trap bottle. Once the worm enters, it will be confused by the translucent markings inside the bottle, and will trap it until it is gradually digested.
Li Quan first implanted the cobra bottle grass with an expansion gene, making it gigantic and able to deal with the Silisthus bugs. Subsequently, its growth rate, resistance to corrosion, scorching drought and other resistances were strengthened respectively for cultivation in the desert environment of Silisus.
The mutated giant cobra bottle grass lived up to his expectations and became the swarm buster, limiting the unscrupulous expansion of the insect swarm in just one day, and then Li Quan took a large number of seeds to clear the main insect nests scattered throughout the Silysus Desert and exterminated several insect mothers. In just three days, the insect plague was contained.
The rest of the clean-up work can be left to the druids. Bottle grass can adapt to desert conditions, and he doesn't mind helping the druids dedesertify Silysus and restore it to a lush vegetation area.
Turn around and go back to the city.
Returning to the druids' station, Li Quan welcomed the druids' heartfelt gratitude. If he hadn't helped, Silisus would have been overrun by bugs. As for the Temple of Angela, which is pouring out of the swarm, it has been confirmed that the gates are about to open, and the Council of Cenarion has decided to issue a proclamation to solicit adventurers from all over the world to come and attack the Temple of Angela.
"What, a letter, for me?"
At the residence, an urgent letter was delivered to Li Quan by a griffon postman. Li Quan looked puzzled, opened the letter and looked at it a few times, his face became serious.
The letter, written to him by Jubica, contained only a simple sentence: "Kanressad is missing, come and see me." ”
Li Quan did not hesitate for a moment, and immediately set off to leave Silisus on a griffin and head to the Silver Pine Forest on the Eastern Continent. He has great respect for the teacher. It's Kanressad's business, and he can't leave it alone.
Kanressad and Jobika are both members of the Six Blades Council, the highest secret society of warlocks, and they meet often in groups. Jubika said that Kanressad was missing, so something must have happened.
The Warlock's Council of the Six Blades, also known as the Council of the Dark Reaper, has always been very mysterious. Li Quan can't understand the relationship between Canressad and Jubika, he only knows that the two are partners and old friends.
As warlocks, especially the top, both of them have their own secrets. Li Quan couldn't help but think of some strange behaviors of the two of them when he saw them a few times. The main manifestations are Kanressad, who habitually writes letters in the demonic language, and Jobika's estrangement from him.
"What could it be, could it have something to do with it?" Along the way, Li Quan couldn't stop guessing.
Silver Pine Forest, Jubica's Cottage.
Li Quan hurried over, pushed the door out, and found that the house was quiet. I took a look around inside and out to make sure that there was no one in the hut. Jubika is not here. There was no trace of Kanressad either.
"Strange. Where will they go? ”
Li Quan could only focus on the hut, trying to find out if there were any clues left. Since Jobby called him, he probably wouldn't leave without a word. Apparently, something had happened that forced her to leave early.
Sure enough, in a more conspicuous place in the house, there was a book. Li Quan walked over and opened it to read, and now he could read Azeroth's words fluently.
"It's ...... Jobica's journal? ”
Li Quan was surprised to find that this was a warlock's diary. Jobby is a top warlock, and the journals of top warlocks are often of great research value. But he's not interested in technology right now. Jobby placed the journal in a prominent place, apparently as a clue to him. He flipped through the journal to the end, and soon found a record. The transcript is supposed to be a part of Jobica's journey......
Day 26:
It's been almost two weeks since Kanressad and I arrived in the Outlands.
As soon as we arrived, Kanressad set off for the Valley of the Shadowmoon almost immediately.
I didn't ask him why he did it, as long as he didn't die.
In this dusty wasteland, my research was difficult.
Although the power of the Legion has receded, there are still some rare demons left here.
Day 28:
The evil imps in the Demon Fire Canyon on the Hellfire Peninsula are unusually talkative.
I found it as easy as memorizing their names to make a contract with me to serve me.
The rituals required to summon an imp are easily worth mentioning.
It's not easy to meet a Void Lord. But convincing one Void Lord to reveal the name of another is simple.
Sometimes I feel like Canressad won't come back.
None of this matters, though.
The Dark Reaper Council could kill me at any time, but as long as my tome remains, they will know what I have learned.
Day 32:
Today while experimenting with the disgusting ruins of Farren, Voidstorm, I was attacked by a floating, squid-like creature with big eyes.
I was amazed that they called themselves observers and had a high level of intelligence.
They show a deep desire to see all kinds of magic, and they will even volunteer to serve me in order to get the chance to absorb new types of magic.
The ritual of summoning the observer is surprisingly complex.
They are a people who are constantly on the move, and the summoning ritual must allow them to go where they want to go.
Without the observer's own cooperation, summoning the creature would be nearly impossible.
Day 35:
Kanressad had finally returned, and he seemed to be in a bad mood.
Considering his haphazard warlock skills, it's not hard to imagine that his research wasn't successful.
I was ready to try to drive the high-ranking members of the Burning Legion, but I didn't dare to try it alone.
In fact, Kanressad is a great test subject......
Day 36:
It's amazing! My first attempt to summon a high-ranking member of the Legion failed as expected.
The summoned Shivara broke free almost immediately after Kanressad completed the ritual.
I thought he would be knocked out when I exiled Shivara. However, the opposite is true.
Kanressad changed form when Shivara unleashed the blades in her hands, her weapon ricocheting off like a stone.
Unlike the usual shapeshifters, Karesad didn't really perfect his demonic transformation.
Perhaps, his research was more successful than I thought......
Day 40:
It's ironic that the key to binding the Guardian of Wrath to oneself is to reduce the number of runes used in the summoning circle.
Angry Guardians are highly resistant to spells and control, but they react significantly to basic magical energy hedges.
Kanressad has a surprising understanding of the Legion's methods of driving the Angry Guards.
His dominance over lesser demons is remarkable.
With great pain, I was able to use the achievement he used to summon multiple demonic minions at once.
Unfortunately, Canressad can permanently drive two lesser demons, and I can only do so for a short time. Not to mention his strange student who defied common sense......
Day 47:
We woke up and killed a couple of ogres, but after studying the ritual circle of Wimgahl, we found a way to sustain our power through demonic sacrifices.
While this will greatly irritate our demonic minions, absorbing their vibrations can greatly increase our strength.
In my experiments, I found that the closer the caster's connection to the sacrificial demon, the stronger the effect of the spell.
Kanressad's ability to maintain his demonic form seems to be at its peak.
Once again, I was disgusted by his weakness.
Things that were so simple to the other warlocks seemed to take him a lifetime to learn.
Day 50:
At Kanresad's insistence, we set off for the Altar of the Damned in Shadowmoon Valley.
He believed that there was more to Gul'dan's hands than just a display of power.
I don't think so, but now my tome is complete.
He is obsessed with controlling the demonic power that comes with demonic transformation, and I don't understand it. Also worried.
While he was studying the ancient altar, I tried to open a portal that would summon a lot of wild imps......
Day 60:
Kanressad must have some plan.
To say that I'm worried about what we're going to do next would be to downplay my worries.
……
The log came to an abrupt end.
There were blank pages at the back, and Li Quan only found another jagged note on the back of the journal's skin, as if it had been written in a hurry. It reads as follows:
I don't think we're going to survive this adventure.
I must not leave my tome unread.
Just in case, I asked the imp to leave four pieces of my soul stone at each of the four locations in my journal for him to bring to you.
If you would like to see Kanressad again, please use this method to find me. Gather all four soul stones, find my body, and be sure to bring my tome back to Azeroth.
Sincerely
Jobika - Shattered.
……
"It seems that Kanressad and Jobika have gone to the Outlands together. Kanressad's demonic transformation? Could it be ...... Alas, it seems, this is the only clue. ”
After reading it, Li Quan let out a sigh of relief, and turned around and walked out of the hut.
He had a hunch that this would be the last time he would see Kanressad.
