Compared to the other members of the Senator Kenrito with a strong personality, Archmage Durandon is like a transparent person in Dalaran, with an extremely thin presence, similar to a certain ranger nicknamed Cuel'Thalas.

Derlandon's death did not cause much of a stir in Dalaran, as if he had been prepared, and Antonidas quickly let the archmage Kalai take his place.

This efficiency is obviously not normal, and considering the missing Backlight Blade Thief...... Salajan and Valera had a bad premonition.

I am afraid that this trip to Dalaran will not be smooth, and eighty percent will encounter a strong enemy.

……

By the time the three-man team led by Sarian flew over the Salas Gate, Archmage Roman had already teleported to Dalaran first.

As soon as he walked out of the teleportation room, Romans immediately sensed an unusual atmosphere.

"It's ......"

Pedestrians on the street hurried to and fro with their heads bowed, as if something was chasing after them.

The atmosphere in the entire city of Dalaran is very depressing, with many shops along the streets, and many of them even closed.

A diplomat behind Romans frowned and muttered, "Something happened to Dalaran?" ”

Dalaran is a magical city-state of the human world and a very important trade hub.

Romans had never seen such a mass closure before.

"I haven't been here for two months, how did Dalaran become like this?"

"Hey~ two months, it's enough for a lot of things to happen."

There was a faint sigh from Romans' side, and the officials who followed him all put on a nervous posture of guard, but Romans stretched out his hand to stop their movements.

"Don't be nervous, lay down your weapons."

A thin figure stepped out of the shop by the side of the road, the gray-haired old mage looked more tired than the last time he saw Romans, and his eyes were bloodshot.

"Speaker Antonidas, what happened to Dalaran?"

Antonidas, who was not in a good mental state, shook his head slightly: "This is not the place to talk, let's go back to Violet Castle first." ”

"Good...... Well?! ”

Romans was about to agree, but suddenly felt an ominous aura pass under his feet, and subconsciously took a step back and took out his staff to assume a vigilant posture.

Antonidas also looked at the bluestone floor under his feet with a solemn face, and let out a long sigh after a few seconds.

"You feel it, right? That's the dilemma Dalaran has been facing lately. ”

"The sewers of this city are hiding some strange and dangerous creatures."

……

Quel'Salas and Dalaran are both in the northern part of the Eastern Continent, and the journey from the Forest of Yongge to Dalaran is not too far, and it can be reached through most of the Tirisfa Forest.

Salian did not land on the way, and after passing through the forest of East Tirisfa, he directly bypassed the royal city of Lordaeron, crossed the vast lake of Lordammere, and landed smoothly on the southern shore of Lordammere Lake, on the shore of Dalaran City.

"Huh?"

When they landed, they killed a few fishmen who were squeaking and screaming by the lake, and the three of them looked at Dalaran not far away with some surprise.

It's not wartime, but Dalaran has unusually raised a defensive barrier to guard the city.

It is not uncommon for the passages in and out of the city to be extremely congested, and the entrance and exit of Dalaran was also an endless scene in the past.

But the strange thing is that the crowd in front of you is several times more out of the city than into the city.

Lyras, who had never been to Dalaran before, looked curiously at the crowd at the gates.

"This is Dalaran? It's so lively, but ...... These people don't seem to look good? ”

Salaan and Valera looked at each other, both of them seeing a solemn look in each other's eyes.

"Lyras, be vigilant."

Salian subconsciously shook the handle of the weapon behind his back: "The situation is not right, be ready to fight at any time." ”

"Huh?"

Without waiting for Lyras to ask, Valilla had already taken action, striding towards the entrance and exit of the special passage with less crowds.

Originally, Sarean had planned to secretly enter Dalaran without alerting the Kenrito Council.

But the plan can't keep up with the changes, and with the current strength of Dalaran's garrison, it is obviously impossible to enter the city without announcing his name.

Fortunately, Romans, who arrived first, thought about this problem in advance, and specially arranged for a diplomat to stay in front of the special passage and wait for the arrival of Valera and Sarjan.

After handing over the High Elf official, the three of them pulled up their hoods and lowered their heads under the gaze of a large number of people waiting to enter and leave the city, and quickly entered the interior of the barrier.

"Anomalous biological invasion in the sewers?"

From the diplomat's mouth, the three people learned about the origin of Dalaran's anomaly.

The sewers of Dalaran are like spiders' nests, and they can even be called a small dungeon, and there are many shady organizations active in the sewers.

According to the information provided by the barrage, most of the black market, the headquarters of the uncrowned thief organization, the forbidden spell laboratory, etc., are all installed in the sewers.

On the surface, Dalaran is glamorous, but there is a lot of darkness lurking beneath this famed magical city-state.

Now, what should have been hidden in the darkness has surfaced and begun to erode the light world of Dalaran on the surface.

Archmage Derlandon entered the sewers on the orders of Antonidas' investigation.

Antonidas had long known that the sewers were mixed, and before setting out, he made a point of asking Durandon to bring more helpers, so as not to be invincible with two fists in case of emergencies.

But Derlandon confidently said that there was no need to make a fuss, and it was not the first time that something had happened in the sewers of Dalaran.

According to Derlandon's speculation, eighty percent of someone's forbidden experiments have gone awry, and all that is needed is a crackdown on the warning as usual.

Antonidas always felt that something was not right, and immediately after Randon's departure, he summoned the archmages to continue the discussion.

Just as Antonidas was about to send another archmage, Calle, to help Derlandon, a thief who had escaped from the sewers panicked and arrived at Violet Castle and informed the council of the bad news that Derandon had been beheaded by an unknown creature.

Although Antonidas was panicked, he still stabilized the situation as soon as possible, pushed the archmage Kalai to the top of the throne, and suppressed this disturbing information first.

But I don't know if it was the news of those who escaped from the sewers, and the news of Derlandon's death spread throughout the city in just 3 hours.

Before the Kenrito Council could come up with a strategy to deal with it, Dalaran became panicked, and there were people with ulterior motives who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

Not long after the falling out with Lordaeron, Antonidas immediately suspected that it was Terenus's fault.

But Ronin disagreed.

He thinks that Lordaeron may have made some small moves to help the news spread quickly, but the anomaly in the sewers should have nothing to do with them, at least not directly.

Antonidas was skeptical, and he arranged for Ronin and Calle to form a purge team while trying to seek help.

Due to the forced licking of Lordaeron earlier, Dalaran has a bad relationship with other countries.

After falling out with Lordaeron, Antonidas couldn't find anyone willing to help for a while.

It just so happened that Quel'Salas suddenly extended an olive branch at this time.

Although the original intention of the other party was to find out the spies who disappeared in Dalaran, but at the moment Antonidas can't care so much, and the one who can help catch the mouse is the good cat.

When the three of Saljan arrived at Dalaran, Ronin, Calle, and Romans had already set off first, and the three of them led an elite team of more than 20 people into the sewers to clean up the monsters.

Guided by the diplomat, Salian, Valeera, and Lyras arrived at Violet Castle.

Half of the six councillors went into the sewers, and of the remaining three, only Ansrem was on his side, except for Antonidas, who had to sit in the castle.

Sarjan glanced around with a strange expression: 'What about Kel'thugad? Don't get involved in such a big thing? You won't be addicted to psychic spells......

Antonidas, who was haggard, barely squeezed out a smile on his face: "Count Deep Shadow, I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't know what Your Excellency ......is coming to Dalaran this time."

Saléan didn't bother to talk nonsense with Antonidas about those social words, and said straight to the point: "We are here to investigate the disappearance of citizens of Quel'Thalas, I wonder if Speaker Antonidas knows about it?" ”
