After completing his deliberations with Van Cleef, Duten got up and returned, coming with only one attendant, but when he returned he had two more little ones with him.

Then you can't use phantom shifting directly, although the magic of phantom shifting is convenient, but for the caster and those who also enter the space channel, the pressure is still very great, adults can not care, and even teenagers who pretend to be some can resist it, but for the two little girls, this pressure is a little too much.

So they can only go back in the usual way, which is the portal way.

Fortunately, when he came, he brought a crystal specially used for positioning, as long as the crystal was crushed, the court magicians of Gilneth thousands of miles away could sense the magic fluctuation, and follow this fluctuation to find Du Teng's location, and open the portal at the same time.

This crystal is newly developed, and after thousands of tests, it can already be determined that there will be no problems. Du Teng was relieved by this, he believed that his magician would not harm him. So he directly crushed the crystal, and a moment later, a purple glow suddenly appeared in the clearing in front of him. This light quickly expands as soon as it appears, and soon turns into an oval portal.

Vanessa had seen magic and portals because of her father, Van Cleef, but another little girl named Lannie, whose parents were ordinary residents at the bottom, had never seen such a "terrible" thing.

Du Teng smiled and touched her head, since the little girl knew that Gilneth and Stormwind City were hostile, she let go of all her hostility, and she liked Du Teng's head touching and killing very much.

"Don't worry, these are all normal spells, you, and Vanessa, after the two of you meet Gilneth with me, I will arrange for someone to measure your talents and determine the right way for you to grow. However, I think Vanessa, you should have a slightly stronger talent as a thief, after all, your father was a very powerful thief, so if nothing else, you will also go down this path. But you, Lannie, your talent is still uncertain, and you must return to Gilneth to be tested.

But you can rest assured, I will not break my promise to you, I will look for the best teachers to guide you, will provide you with the best living and learning environment, you don't have to worry about anything, just train hard and become the strong in your mind. ”

Du Teng's voice was very gentle, he didn't dare to say that he was very good at dealing with small pelvis, but it was always right to be gentle.

Sure enough, the two little guys nodded heavily after hearing Du Teng's words, and Vanessa's little face was still a little red. I don't know if it's excitement or some other reason.

Anyway, the portal opened, and Duten stepped in with the two little guys and his own attendants, and by the time they reappeared, they had already arrived at "Stoneard", the largest camp in the Swamp of Sorrow in the middle of the book. But now that the place had become the territory of the Alliance, Duten had named the town "Yuanwang Town", and he did not explain to anyone what the name meant.

However, this is just his transit point, if you go directly back to Gilneth from the Western Wilderness, the consumption is too great for ordinary mages to bear, so he needs to return to Yuanwang Town, and then use the portal again to return to Gilneth.

But this time it's much easier, after all, it is more difficult to open the door by remote control from a distance than to open the door directly.

This time, all it takes is one mage to open a portal big enough for Duten and the two little ones to get back to Gilneth.

He didn't lie about the way the two little guys were trained, the first thing he did when he came back was to test their talents, and in the end, Vanessa was really a thief genius, inheriting her father's talent, although she was still very young, but she had already shown her strength.

On the contrary, it was Lanny, when she was tested, her body was actually very suitable for the storage of the power of the Holy Light, and the compatibility with the Holy Light was also very high.

Du Teng was a little surprised.

And Lanny, when she learned the news, was a little disappointed.

She wants to be a powerful warrior who can avenge her father and mother, not to be a priest who spends her days knowing only healing.

After hearing the little guy's words, Du Teng shook his head with a smile.

"The Holy Light is not only the power of healing, the Holy Light is also very lethal, rest assured, if you really want to kill the enemy, I will help you become a paladin. But you have to know that becoming a paladin is not easy, not only does it require hard training, but you also need to have a very strong heart, if you can't do it......"

"Your Majesty, I will definitely be able to do it!"

Lanny said loudly, although her voice was very immature, but the determination in it was very clear.

Du Teng looked at the other party carefully when he heard this, and then nodded.

"On my orders, ask Countess Liadline to come and visit."

He said to the herald beside him, and the other party took the order.

Why Liadrin? Although Gilneth also has a lot of paladins, the really powerful paladins are still more inclined to Stormwind. Although there is no opposition between the alliance and the alliance now, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Du Teng does not just want to simply stand side by side, so the two sides will eventually have a fight.

In this way, those strong paladins are not very willing to deal with the alliance.

And Du Teng is not bored with himself, since he can't establish a closer relationship with those old paladins, he simply looks for it himself from the alliance.

There are many Paladins in Gilneis, Brute Hammer Mountain and Kurtilas, but none of them can be regarded as real top powerhouses, and the only one in the alliance who can compete with those veteran Paladins is Liadline of Silvermoon City.

She spent her early years as a High Elf priest who believed in the Light, her parents were killed by Amani trolls, and she was raised by the Mentor High Priest von Delors. During one of her visits to the runestones guarding Quel'Salas with Magister Darkan, Liadrin, along with Lotherma Theron and others, was captured by Zulkin's trolls.

The psychedelic potion used by the trolls gave Liadline a vision - Darkan turned into a walking corpse, her apprentice Garel died a tragic death, and Lotherma struggled in agony through the fire. In the end, after Lothmar resisted and made a vow to "live and die together", she gave free rein to Rothmar and Garrell, and everyone escaped from Zurkin's hands.

Liadline and Lotherma become a pair of lovers, maintaining a sweet romance while each struggling in their own realm. But the invasion of the Old Horde shattered Quel'Thalas' peace, and the High Elves' nemesis, the Amani Trolls, joined the Horde and stormed Quel'Thalas's defenses with the orcs. After paying a great price, the League successfully defended Quel'Thalas, and the High Elf King Anastrian ordered an army to pursue Zulkin, including Liadrin.

Years have passed since the Second War was held, and the High Elves' hard-won peace was disrupted by the Scourge Legion, with Liadline now a High Priest and Lotherma a Ranger Lord. Reuniting with friends who had experienced adventures many years ago, only Darkan was jealous of the achievements of others, and Lotherma told Darkan the key to Quel'Thalas's magical defenses in the hope that he could identify weaknesses. Liadline praised the Light and the blessings of the Well of the Sun, and she reminded them of the vow of living and dying together when they were trapped with their friends years ago, and it was the unity that kept them out of danger.

However, Darkan betrayed all his allies in order to gain his position, and he leaked Quel'Thalas's weakness directly to Arthas, and the Scourge of the Undead swept through the Forest of Eternal Song like a tide of decay and stench. In the original book, Liadeline eventually watched her adoptive father and mentor, Von Delors, be killed by Abomination, and in the war against the Scourge, Liadeline began to question the Holy Light, which she had firmly believed in. If the Light really protects the High Elves, what is it that makes them turn into disgusting walking corpses immediately after being killed by the undead, and turn to attack their former compatriots?

After polluting the Sunwell, Arthas left Quel'Thalas with a triumphant taunt and countless resurrected elven dead, and the elven pride of their home was reduced to a wasteland infested with the undead. Prince Kael'thas returns to his homeland, where he tells the elves that the Sunwell polluted by the Lich King's power will continue to pollute the land, and that he plans to use the Moon Crystal to blow it up. Liadline joins the fight once more, but she refuses to use the power of the Light again, and does not want to experience the pain of being "abandoned" by the Light again, so she chooses to pick up a mace and become a warrior to fight the undead hand-to-hand.

During the battle, Liadeline vented her anger and confusion, slain countless enemies, and used her mace to kill the resurrected von Delauer.

And she, as a result, became the first paladin of the High Elves.

In this life, because of Duten's relationship, Von Delors did not die, but Liadeline was also sad and angry after seeing countless companions die at the hands of the undead, and once again embarked on the path of the paladin, as in the original book, and with her help, a large number of priests in Silvermoon City became paladins, and now, Liadeline is the leader of all blood elf paladins, and she is extremely talented, although she has been a paladin for a short time, but she has a strong strength, which is suitable to become Lannie's mentor.

Speaking of Vanessa, there is no doubt that there is no accurate answer to which thief is the strongest in this world. Which bandit organization is the strongest? In the future, it may be MI7 in Stormwind City, or it may be Gilneth's intelligence service, but for now, there is no doubt that the strongest thief organization is Ravenhold Manor.

Ravenhold Manor, a guild of thieves and assassins. They only welcome people of great strength into their territory, and they are also enemies of the Syndicate, and this organization, also known as the League of Assassins, is very secretive and rarely known to the world, and many people doubt that this organization really exists.

However, the members of the League of Assassins were spread all over the world, with Ravenhold Manor located in the woods southeast of the Alterac Mountains, south of Icewind Hills, north of Dunhold Castle, east of Talenmere, and west of the mountains bordering Hinterland.

The owner of the estate was Duke Joraci Ravenhod, who was also the leader of the Assassin League.

Their values are very simple, you can join them as long as you are strong enough, and they don't care about the boundaries of tribes and alliances. Elves, humans, dwarves, gnomes, orcs can also be seen in the manor. There is also a troll during Valentine's Day. Other members are said to be scattered throughout the continent.

No one knows how large the organization is, no one knows how many members they have, and even their companions may be part of the estate.

But there is no doubt that this manor is very powerful, and if only the thieves are concerned, there is no one in Azeroth who can be their opponent today.

However, Du Teng didn't care about this, he knew that any so-called strong strength had to bow his head in the face of even stronger strength. It's not like he hasn't dealt with Ravenhold Manor before, isn't the purpose of this organization's existence to collect various commissions to complete various tasks? If the king of a kingdom personally gives a commission, what reason is there not enough for these guys to go out?

This time, however, Duten was not prepared to do so. Any power that does not belong to oneself is dangerous. He wants Vanessa to be mentored, but he doesn't want to lose control of Vanessa, and although he believes that Vanessa won't betray him, it's a problem after all. Moreover, Ravenhold Manor was too close to Gilneth for him to care about before, but now that the Alliance had been formed, such an uncontrolled force that he would not allow it to exist anyway.

I didn't have time to deal with it before, but now, it's just an opportunity.

Compared to the entire Alliance, the power of Ravenhold Manor is insignificant. It's not that it's not strong, but in the face of the pressure of the army, if it's just a group of thieves, it's really impossible to compete with the army. The assassination was meaningless to Duten, so he lost some of his men at most, which he was able to accept.

But what if you could get the whole of Ravenhold? How wonderful would it be if that huge army of thieves could be controlled by oneself?

Therefore, Du Teng must also absorb this force no matter what, if it can't be absorbed, then destroy it!

So, a day later, at the gate of the hidden Ravenhold Manor, Duten stood alone.

He stood there for three minutes, making sure that the guys inside weren't ready to greet him, and then he chuckled and strode into the manor.

But when he entered the manor, he did not leave, but stood there with his hands clasped to his chest.

"I'm sure you know who I am, so I'm not going to introduce myself. I'm here today for two purposes, one is to find a powerful thief mentor for my little sister, and that's a commission of mine. And for the second purpose, I want to meet the Duke of Ravenhold. Especially the second point, which I must do today. If you are sensible, pass it on for me now. Otherwise, the consequences you understand ......"

He looked haughtily at the empty space in front of him, and he knew that there were at least a dozen thieves waiting for him in front of him. But it doesn't matter, even if he breaks through, these people can't cause any trouble to him at all, but this manor, if it really gets to that point, it will be ruined, and it will be ruined.
