Chapter 27: The Black Swamp

Looking at the building in front of him, Khadgar tightened the letter of introduction with the red seal in his hand. He had been trekking for days, following several brigades along the way, and finally succeeded in crossing the vast and dense Elwyn Forest, crossing the Red Ridge Mountains, and reaching Karazhan. Then climb this high mountain and come to this quiet, empty, lonely place. Even the air here smells cold and isolated. Now, the young man, aching and exhausted, and his beard dishevelled from the long journey, stood on a mound in the clearing, still unable to believe what he had come for.

Introduce yourself to the most powerful mage in Azeroth. This is like a college student who has just studied nuclear physics for a few years and is suddenly told that he is going to introduce himself to Deng Jia first, and he also wants to become his student, the pressure can be imagined, especially since he was not sent because of talent

"Why are you so nervous, young man, it's just a mage tower, why do you feel like you're about to walk into a grave," he walked over in the breeze. While on the boat, he took the opportunity to ask Khadgar about his destination while he was returning the knife, and then pretended that he was also coming to Karazhan, so the two of them stopped here, but for some reason Karazhan descended the almost deserted town and followed him to the Mage's Tower

"It's been a long time since Lord Astral Mage has announced the need for an apprentice or assistant," Khadgar grinned, smirking miserably, "I don't know if this Master Mage was moved by Kenrito's request, or if the death rate of his recent captive experimental creature was too high and he needed a new creature."

"Don't be so pessimistic," Qiuchen patted him on the shoulder, "But before you go in and die... Ah no, before being an apprentice......"

As he spoke, Qiu Chen's hand suddenly pinched Khadgar's shoulder blades hard, "It seems that you have used some aspects of your specialties in the wrong place."

Khadgar broke out in a cold sweat for a moment, but he knew that it was because of his specialty in some aspects that he was selected by the Kenrito Council for the first time and then thrown to Karazan, and this kind of specialty is not welcome in any normal population

In the end, under the concept of convincing people with virtue, Khadgar deeply realized the mistakes he made and made a deep reflection, so Qiuchen said that knowing his mistakes can improve a lot, and Khadgar, who can retreat from the precipice if he goes astray, is still a good comrade of the party. Later, before leaving, Qiuchen still used the light of dawn to reduce the swelling of Khadgar's somewhat puffy face, which should not affect Medivan's interview with him in the future

The next morning, with the sound of the wooden wheels of the wagon, Qiuchen sat in the caravan wagon, and went all the way from the town of Karazan into the black swamp full of fear and awe in the mouths of the people

"Hey, young man, don't be in a daze! We're already within the reach of the Black Swamp! The shouts of the caravan leader interrupted Qiuchen's thoughts, "If you are careless, I will definitely deduct your wages when you get to Night Town!" ”

"Got it~" Qiu Chen yawned, and put away the rune stone he got back from Khadgar yesterday, if this thing was usual, Khadgar was curious that it didn't matter if Qiu Chen gave him one, but now, who knows what would happen if he brought the rune stone to Karazan for Medivan to find. Decades after the opening of the Black Gate, the magic technology was discovered by the most powerful magicians today, and it is difficult to say that there will be no disturbance of the timeline

But speaking of Medivan...... For his cheap daughter who suddenly appeared, Qiuchen is still a little difficult to accept. The last time I went back to Gensokyo, I felt like I was unexpected, but now I was suddenly told that I had a daughter...... Headache......

"Still in a daze! Deduct ten silver coins from you! The caravan leader's foaming star almost collapsed into Qiu Chen's face, and Qiu Chen hurriedly took a step back. The boss with a meaty face in front of him waved his arms and shouted, "If something goes wrong again, you can pack up and go back to Night Town!" ”

"Understand," Qiu Chen waved the iron longsword he had bought for more than fifty silver coins yesterday, and walked to the edge of the caravan and followed the adventurers hired nearby. In the past two days, I have a big head when I think of Medivan's affairs, of course, if it's just Medivan, Qiuchen doesn't matter, but the key is the dark Titan --- Sargeras in Medivan's body

"Young man, you are so absent-minded, but you can't survive in the black swamp," a middle-aged adventurer patted Qiu Chen's shoulder and said earnestly, "I've seen a lot of adventurers who have just debuted to take on those very dangerous escort missions in order to make a fortune, but they can't deal with the danger and end up with both people and money, young man, I advise you to cheer up before entering the depths of the black swamp, otherwise I'm afraid you don't even know how you died."

At this time, even if Orgrim pops out, I can kill you alone Believe it or not, but now I heard that it seems that the black hand is stronger, and Tarador 1V4 counter-kills......

"Don't worry, uncle, I'm a person who knows the depths," Qiuchen smiled and waved his hand. In fact, the reason why he went directly into the Black Swamp this time was that there was an unstable factor among the --- first batch of orcs who arrived in Azeroth, an orc that obviously did not belong to this time and space, and Nozdom hoped that Autumn Dust could help him determine whether the other party was just an orc of the lost time, or a trap set by the Eternal Dragon, and the reason why he joined a caravan was because he knew nothing about the black swamp, there were no roads in the swamp, let alone a map, and it was better for someone to lead the way than to turn around like a brainless fly

The Eternal Dragon, disguised as an orc, killed Lothar at the beginning of the war with the Kingdom of Azeroth, and the Eternal Dragon didn't have to do anything after that and just wait to see the world collapse, Lothar was the one who defeated Medivan, without him......

Thinking of this, Qiuchen had a headache again, could it be that he had to kill his daughter once in the end, this is really ......

"Don't be too confident, young man" When Qiu Chen was about to fall into his own thoughts again, the middle-aged uncle's voice pulled him back again, "Why do you think the commission related to the Black Swamp is so expensive, a group of humanoid green-skinned monsters have appeared in the depths of the swamp recently, and they have already launched attacks on pedestrians, and there are close to ten of them just recorded, not to mention those attacks that only find broken bones and can't recognize the victims"

"Really..."Qiu Chen shrugged indifferently, seeing that the hairy boy in front of him was not frightened by his own description, or pretended not to be frightened, the middle-aged adventurer sighed boredly, "Do you see the camp of the Stormwind City guards in front, through here, we will officially enter the Black Swamp"

Qiu Chen raised his head, only to see that directly in front of him, the soldier camp with the banner of Stormwind City was set up next to the path, and only a short distance away was a gloomy forest, a giant beast that seemed to open its mouth wide and waiting for its prey to enter
