Chapter 23: The Mischievous Witch
Archmages of Quel'Thalas almost all live in Silvermoon, with the exception of Melia Starling, who chooses to sit in the Tower of the Morning Star.
This wasn't because she wanted to protect the Bandi Norrell Enchantment, but because she was simply not used to the hedonistic atmosphere of Silvermoon City, she chose to come to the south of the forest to exile herself.
Melia is a traditional arcanist, and her joy in life is all about delving into the arcane and truth.
In order to accomplish her ultimate goal in life, she has made many actions that seem very grotesque to others, without any sense of morality or shame, and to some extent she will do whatever it takes to achieve her goals.
There was a rumor that Salian had heard when he was a child.
In order to prove his origins and pedigree, Melia once infiltrated the Deep Shadow Manor naked in an attempt to lure Julian into making a child with her.
Whether this rumor is true or not, to this day Sarian has not received a definite answer.
Every time he asked his father about this question, he would be prevaricated, and Melia always smiled and said that it was just a rumor.
But in fact, since that rumor appeared, Melia, who had always looked at Salaan with mad eyes, had restrained her behavior a lot, at least she would no longer blatantly lie on him and sniff and lick it.
As she climbed the spiral staircase of the Mage Tower, Valeera's expression was visibly unhappy.
"Tsk~ If it weren't for the fact that there was really no way, I really didn't want to see that crumb witch."
Lyras smiled and spread his hands, "Don't say that, although Archmage Meria has done a lot of ...... It's incomprehensible, but her abilities are truly unpretentious. β
"If you can't convince her ......"
Lyras turned his head to look at Anderson, who always had an uneasy look on his face, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes: "We can give her a living experiment that she can play with at will, presumably this is also a temptation for Melia." β
"Wow!"
Anderson was stabbed by Lyras's icy gaze, and subconsciously hid behind Sarren.
"Speaking ......"
Winlessa did not criticize her brother's actions, and she did not have a good feeling for Anderson, a villain who betrayed the interests of the country.
Suddenly remembering something, Wen Lesa looked at Anderson thoughtfully and asked, "You shouldn't be a mage, why did you chant a spell on the way to escape during the battle of Yang Scar Peak?" β
"This ......"
Anderson hesitated, and under the fierce gaze, he could only pull out a parchment scroll with magic patterns engraved on it from the inner pocket of his chest.
"It's a one-time teleportation given to me by my employer, and it can be activated by injecting magic into it and activating it with a specific spell."
After the Horde broke through the Bandinoriel barrier, Gul'dan did something with corrupted runestones.
The entire space of the Eternal Song Forest was forcibly sealed off by that powerful warlock, and under normal circumstances, even the archmage could not activate teleportation spells.
"Can you ignore the teleportation book of space confinement......
Valeera looked at the parchment roll in her hand, her eyes flickering.
Salorian asked with some curiosity, "Girl from the Sangunar family, do you have any ideas?" β
"Hmmm......"
Valiera subconsciously touched the corners of her eyebrows, and said with some hesitation: "I'm wondering, is this teleportation book really just a random teleportation?" Will the main messenger behind the scenes set the exit coordinates at a specific location? β
"For example...... A place where the trap has already been laid? β
"This ......"
Anderson's eyes widened unconsciously, and as he listened to Valeera's analysis, he once again felt how reckless and stupid his decision to take on this task was because of money.
Life is gone, what is the use of money? It was even said that the other party may have planned not to give money from the beginning.
Salorian said thoughtfully: "There is indeed this possibility, considering the identity of the real traitor, the location of the extermination should not be far from Silvermoon City, and it may even be in the corner of the city that no one cares about. β
Wen Lesa raised her eyebrows slightly: "You guys, you don't want to deliberately activate the teleportation book, do you?" β
Salorian thought for a moment before shaking his head: "It's too early to say this, anyway, let Melia help check it first." β
β¦β¦
The height of the Tower of the Morning Star was not as high as that of the extraordinarily beautifully decorated mage towers in Silvermoon City, with only three floors in total.
The ground floor was empty, and it looked like a utility room, full of all kinds of strange things.
The second floor was supposed to be Melia's laboratory, and I could smell some indescribably pungent smell as I passed by.
Salorian didn't care much about the unpleasant smell itself, but his brow hadn't been lifted since he entered the Mage's Tower.
"Melia's ...... What weird experiments are you doing? β
"Don't slander people."
A red-haired female mage with heavy dark circles stepped down from the living quarters on the third floor, her steps swaying and looking as if she might fall at any moment.
His messy hair was haphazardly coiled on top of his head, looking like a chicken nest, and the archmage's robe on his body was also crumpled.
If the self-proclaimed noble mage masters of Silver Moon City saw her appearance of ruining the image of a mage, I am afraid that their blood pressure would soar on the spot, and they would throw out their magic staff and have a mage duel with her.
β¦β¦ This has been done, but the mages who took the initiative to provoke were beaten down by the sloppy-looking Melia.
There was an unfortunate bastard who scolded her for not knowing how to enjoy life, and was annoyed by Melia, who was not yet 1,000 years old at the time, and hung upside down on the city wall with arcane magic for three days before being put down, and the whole person was about to dry up.
"Ah~ long time no see, my dear little Sarren."
Melia staggered down the stairs and flew at Sarren in front of the others.
"Hey~"
Salian rolled his eyes helplessly.
During the rebellious period a few years ago, the self-righteous man often worked with Melia, and during that time, he suffered a lot.
After being taught many laughable arcane tricks, the unbelieving Sarren finally learned to behave.
It's okay, don't mess with this weird old ...... Sister, she can always come up with all kinds of weird tricks to torment people.
Melia has a petite physique, only 1.5 meters in her early age, and due to her irregular diet all year round, she is quite thin and lightweight.
Catching Melia, who is less than 100 pounds, is not difficult for the burly Sarren, but the difficult thing is the unpleasant smell that accompanies Melia's embrace.
"SalΓ©an has put on a mask of pain, is this old sister's flat body too disgusting? (Funny)"
"I don't think so, you look closely at Valera and Winlessa's movements."
Not only did Sarren smell the strange smell, but the others of Winresa and Salorian were only a second or two slower.
"Gott~"
Valilla retched unbearably and complained to Melia angrily, "You forgot to get rid of the smell again!" β
"Huh?"
Melia looked up from Sarren's arms in a daze, grabbed her mage robe and sniffed it a few times.
"Oh~ I really forgot, you wait for me."
"Da~"
With a casual snap of his fingers, several magic arrays appeared around Meria one after another, and even the staff was useless to complete a rather complex spell without a spell.
"Whew~"
A cool breeze blew through the tower, and the smell of Melia vanished.
"I've been working on alchemy lately, and the smell in the tower is rather unpleasant, so let's make a long story short."
"Ha~"
With a lazy yawn, Melia leaned back against Sallian and looked at Salorian with a pair of dead fish eyes and a smiling expression.
"Well keeper, why didn't you come to the Yongge Forest to look for me when you didn't guard the sunwell on Queldanus Island? Is the end of the world coming? β
Salorian ignored Melia's inappropriate quips and glanced at Valilla on the side.
"This."
Valera handed Melia the parchment teleportation book she had obtained from Anderson.
"Oh?"
The lazy Melia sensed something that interested her in the parchment and snatched it from Valilla's hand.
"Interesting, there's the magic of that old Sandrick guy on it, where did you find that?"
"Sandrick ......"
A gleam flashed in Salorian's eyes: "Sandric Sunshadow? β
