Tonight, the clouds over Stormwind appear unusually low, touching the top of many of the city's towers. A cold wind blew, and the guards stationed outside the Stormwind Fortress were cloaked, huddled together, shivering; And inside the fortress, their commander-in-chief, Tulayan, and his wise men were still not resting. They stayed in a room, now the Coalition Command Post, studying the map of Azeroth. Anyone could tell the tension between their commander-in-chief and the female elves who accompanied him. Even though the guards were allowed to stay, they felt unnatural.
The β guards shivered from the cold, but they didn't notice an eerie gust of wind that drifted through the streets of Stormwind, through the main entrance of Stormwind Fortress, up through the wide fortress corridors, and then turned to the left. The gust of wind swirled through another walkway and ended up in a small open-air courtyard.
A pair of guards stood opposite each other, guarding the entrance to the Royal Library. When they felt the cold air, they couldn't help but shiver. The two of them noticed that their surroundings seemed to be getting darker, so they squinted their eyes and looked at it.
Suddenly, a strong gust of wind swept up, blowing away the shadow, and appeared, x.net several standing figures. Four of them appear to be human, at least in terms of physical form. They all wore cloaks with wide hoods, and their limbs and torsos were wrapped in something bizarre. And their eyes actually shone with a fiery red light. As for the last figure. He was much taller than the other four. And even in this near-total darkness, his skin can be seen to be bright green.
One of the guards drew his sword and tried to scream to warn of an intrusion. He failed. The orc stepped forward, swinging his axe forward, and the poor guard was cut in two. His companion raised his shield to fend off an attack from an intruder in a strange attire and stabbed with his spear, but all he did was useless. The other grabbed the hilt of the spear and cut it off. Then he turned lightly, crossed the upper edge of the shield, and slid his freshly severed spear over the guard's neck. The second guard fell silently, his head and body almost separated. The group stepped over the two corpses, still twitching slightly, pushed open the front door, and entered the royal library.
βThe demon instructed, "We must move quickly, and we must not be detected. "His Death Knights, and the Pagas Splitthroat, the orc who quickly took out the first guard. Nodding. The Bloodfiend knew that the Orcs knew more about Azeroth than anyone else, and for the Bloodfiends. This Pagas was one of the more intelligent and composed of the idle orcs, so he assigned him to carry out the mission.
The five scattered and searched the library for their loot. After about a few minutes, Pagas cursed in a low voice, "It's not here!"
"What? Are you sure?" The Bloodseeker walked over and saw him standing next to an empty glass box.
β³ In response, Pagas pointed to the glass box. In one of the corners of the box is a small tan card. Possessing his host's memories and skills, the Bloodseeker comprehended the card's description after a moment's intent: The Book of Medivan. It is not allowed to be opened without the permission of the king or the commander of the alliance. ...
"It used to be here," Bloodseeker thought to himself, looking at the velvet lining of the box, where it was clear that some large, thick rectangular object had once been placed. "But where is it now?"
"Here," a Death Knight whispered. Bloodseeker hurried towards him, followed by Pagas and two other Death Knights. "It seems that there are other people who think the same way as us. He pointed to a small study and the corpses inside. The corpse was clad in the armor of an Alliance guard, and a dagger was stuck around his neck, revealing only the hilt of his sword.
"Alterac," Pagas whispered, looking at the dead on the ground, "here, their emblem. Pagas pointed to the mark on the handle of the sword and said, "That's the coat of arms of Alterac." β
The memories of the Bloodfiend's host body affirm this, "So it was Alterac who took the Book of Medivan. He thought to himself that despite being a traitor in the last war, Lord Perinod was still the king of Alterac, at least for now. That book is also crucial for the Alliance. Alterac could have used it as a bargaining chip, yes, it makes sense.
"But why did he leave such an obvious clue?" He questioned loudly, "This assassin is careless. β
"Maybe he's trying to get a message," said Pagas, "and Alterac wants to tell the League that it's still in the game." Or," he laughed, baring his fangs, "maybe he's just a careless assassin." β
Bloodseeker said, "All right, but we shouldn't be as careless as he is. We needed this book, so we had to go to Alterac. Take that dagger away, I don't want the Alliance to have the same clues as us. The corpse hadn't decomposed yet, so the guards would have thought they had all died at the hands of the same man when they saw the three men tomorrow. β
Pagas obediently crouched down and drew his dagger, "Now we're heading to Alterac?"
"Yes...... But not yet. We need to do as much as we could. Now we still have to go to Blackstone Mountain first. We need the brothers, Red and Maim, and the Red Dragon, whom they control. β
Pagas nodded, "Blackstone Mountain happens to be the place we need to stop on our way to Alterac. β
"Exactly. The Blood Demon laughed, "With the Red Dragon in hand, we will be able to make a round trip in less than a few hours, and we will be able to get back to the Dark Gate before the estimated time." He nodded and continued, "But first, we have to get out of here as much as we did when we came here. He beckoned the crowd to come.
Shadows loom over again, and the temperature inside the library plummets. A moment later, another cold wind slid through the doorway, over the cold corpse and the surrounding bloodstains, and left the fortress, finally disappearing into the night.
