Chapter 33: A Chance Encounter with the King of the Tree Cave
There was silence, a long silence, and just as the beads of sweat on Lanloth's forehead were about to drip into his eyeballs, Landra finally reacted.
"Very well, if you can help, I'm willing to trust you for a while. Lanlos was overjoyed, and a smile gradually appeared on his face, but the next moment, his stiff expression looked a little funny.
"But you can't leave the Eastern Temple, as for this messenger. Landra said, looking at the Ranger Girl who had been sitting beside her early, "Miss Windranger, I wonder if you're willing to do us a favor?"
Standing on the balcony, Lanlos's blue eyes cast solemnly into the distance.
It was a simple room in a tower, with a desk, a bed, and nothing else.
The most conspicuous thing is the tightly closed door, which exudes a strong magical aura, and it is obvious that this is under house arrest.
Lanloth's idea of clearing his name succeeded, but he overlooked the fact that, with Landra's pride, she couldn't have allowed Lanlos to follow his advice after doing so, otherwise it would be her new mage who persuaded and changed Landra's mind and practice.
With the pride of the Magister, this was unacceptable to her, and it was something that Lanlos did not expect.
As an unusually face-conscious person, Landra chose to do something unexpected beyond calculation, and put Lanloth under house arrest in the Eastern Temple.
It was the second day, and Lanlos didn't see anyone else except someone bringing in necessities and food. Apparently, Landra and her followers are busy dealing with the Evil Power Crystal.
With a long sigh, Lanlos sat on the balcony, feeling the warmth of the sun slowly bringing warmth to his cheeks, and his mood gradually calmed down.
Unlike the anxiety of the guardian of the magic net, Lan Luo seemed much calmer.
Having said so much before, he is not really idle to get involved in this matter, after all, he knows his own strength, and he can't be so stupid as not to see the danger.
The root cause was that continuing to stay in the Eastern Sanctuary had brought him a faint sense of unease, and given his transcendent perception, he couldn't ignore the feeling of being mired.
He just wanted to get out.
As for these troubles, they will naturally be dealt with by the Magister of the Silver Moon Council.
If it weren't for Landra stumbling on himself......
With a frown, Lanros turned his head to look at the closed door, on which a faint magical aura suddenly began to flow.
"You're here. Looking at the figure who walked into the room, Lanlos briefly greeted him, and then turned his attention to the distance again.
"You don't seem surprised. With a wave of his hand, the door closed automatically.
"It's not a meal now, and no one in the entire Eastern Temple dares to open this door except you. Shrugging his shoulders, the young mage said casually.
Without replying, the Magister slowly approached Lanloth, and also looked outside the tower: "I didn't expect that your kid has a pretty big face in Fatherin." ”
Lanlos was stunned, and when he turned his head, he saw the letter in the other party's hand.
"I guess it was news that your students brought back, but I didn't expect Alona to react so quickly. Randra's face smiled again, but it was still cold.
"It doesn't look like you're bringing me good news. After a brief moment of silence, Lanlos did not feel any joy in his heart.
"It's a pity that her news is a step late. A tongue of fire burst into flames, and the scarlet flames instantly engulfed the letter of representation sent by the Academy, and the Magus clapped his hands, letting the ashes scatter in the wind, as if he didn't realize that his actions would offend another Magister, or even the entire Academy.
No, in fact, she doesn't care.
Seeing this scene, Lan Luos's brows furrowed: "What do you mean?"
"The Far Wanderer's dwelling has been attacked by trolls, and in the morning a plea for help has been sent to me, and I have put your name on the aid list, just before this letter arrives. ”
"I'm not under your jurisdiction. Looking directly into the other party's eyes, Lanloth's voice took on a hint of anger.
"Now that the temple is under attack, I and the other spellcasters have more important things to do. And this is a military order, is it possible that as a teaching assistant of Fatherin, your ability will only be as fast as your tongue is spoken?"
Landra laughed happily, but for Lanros, he had to suppress the anger in his heart: "How do you say that......?
Separated only by the River Elendal from the Far Traveler's dwelling and the Eastern Temple, and on the bridge, Lanros glanced back at the tower, which reflected its glow in the sunlight, as if Landra was watching his joke somewhere.
He finally figured out why this woman treated him so differently from Winlessa.
Alona, when she mentioned the familiar name, Lanlos clearly saw the fleeting flame, it was jealousy. Obviously, Landra and Alona had an unhappy past, and Lanros was just a victim of the former's relief.
As for why this is said, it is not just the reason why Lanloth was forcibly sent to the battlefield.
This is the hinterland of Quel'Thalas, what kind of troll has the ability to pass through the layers of defense on the front line, and actually appeared in the base camp of the ranger troops, the residence of the Far Traveler?
Lanloth's eyebrows couldn't help but come together again, solemnity and worry almost filling his brain.
He hadn't forgotten the alliance between the Dark Pine Trolls and the Burning Legion, and at this juncture, the trolls who had spent most of their time traversing most of Quel'Salas were not just small raids as the report suggested?
It has to be said that Landra probably didn't think about what a blow the decision to send Lanlos to the battlefield would be for the latter.
He wasn't a reckless man, the sky had fallen and there was a high roof, and Lanlos never had the idea of a sense of ownership, after all, for him, after the destruction of Golden Branch, Quel'Salas no longer had a sense of belonging.
Not a joke, it's true.
Looking at the hot camp in front of him, Lanlos gradually became distracted, and the uniform shouting of killing in his ears did not make the gully between his eyebrows disappear.
He may not be a selfish villain, but he has never been a good man who is selfless. Joining the Fotherling Academy was more about Fergus's kindness and full arcane resources, being friendly with Lanzahn was an instinct and necessity of being in the same working environment, and fighting in the Eastern Temple was just to keep himself out of these strife.
Yes, he is a rational person. After so many extraordinary encounters, Lanlos has long learned how to trade the least price for the greatest benefit.
Unfortunately, Azeroth is a world of power, and in the eyes of people like Landra, smart rats are worthy of being pets, but after rats can speak, they are monsters.
Even if she has a reputation for animal cruelty, she would still be willing to put rats to death.
Don't look at the Wanderer's Quarters as the base camp of the Ranger Force, but it was established many years ago during the confrontation with the Trolls, and now that the front line has been pushed far south, most of the warriors are stationed all year round in the vicinity of Windranger's Tower to Zuaman.
And most of the people left here are the old and sick who are about to be discharged from the army.
Even against a small group of troll attacks, it needs helpers, and its combat ability can be seen.
As a spellcaster, whether the warriors in front can block the enemy's attack is the fundamental reason for whether they can survive or not. But such a force ...... No wonder Landra sent out low-level spellcasters.
Such thoughts did not just pass through Lanloth's mind, the other mages accompanying him would have more or less such concerns.
At least, for the time being.
"Welcome, I'm sorry to trouble you. A handsome man with blond hair approached, and a flash of displeasure flashed across his face at the sight of Lanlos and the four young spellcasters accompanying him, but he quickly regained his smile.
Formulaic smile.
Lanlos didn't speak, and as a 'suspect', he certainly wouldn't be the commander of this support operation.
"Captain, Lord Landra has given us a mission to support the battle, but what about the trolls?" the condescending tone made Lanros want to laugh.
It's just a mere second-order mage, and with this captain's attributes and abilities, it's not difficult to kill him in two rounds, it's really ...... Where did you get the confidence to be so arrogant?
Apparently, the captain thought the same thing as Lanloth: "You've been my soldiers since you walked in here, unless you have a higher rank than mine...... Mage, it's a felony to commit the following crimes!"
The captain's words were like poison in his throat, causing the mage who led the team to change his face drastically, but he couldn't find any effective words, and Lan Luo couldn't help but hide his face.
It's such a shame......
However, such a small gesture was noticed by the captain: "This is a new face?
The young mages set their eyes on Lanloth, who was deliberately alienated and ignored, and when it came to it, they really didn't know Lanloth's name.
With his right hand on his chest, Lan Luo slowly bowed to the other party: "Lan Luos, Assistant Coach Faserin, it is an honor to work with you. ”

As mentioned earlier, exchanging the least price for the greatest benefit is Lanlos's life credo. After using Sagrette's view of the other party's attributes, Lanlos was basically certain that this captain should be one of the strongest combat forces in the camp.
Befriending them is definitely a good thing for the rest of the battle, especially for yourself as a spellcaster.
It seemed that the captain was not accustomed to the nobles, but Lanloth's respectful attitude made him very useful, and he returned the salute rather awkwardly, and said with a very bright smile: "Lotherma, Captain Ranger, is temporarily serving as an instructor in the residence of the Far Wanderer. ”
