Antonidas was of course in the know, and as the head of state, he knew all the spies that various countries had planted in Dalaran.

Coincidentally, Dalaran had actually installed some intelligence agents in Quel'Thalas.

However, due to Quel'Thalas's xenophobic customs, Dalaran ...... Even intelligence officers from other countries could only follow the caravan and could not stay in Silvermoon City for a long time.

This practice of sending spies to each other is an unspoken rule among countries, and as long as the skin is not completely torn, no one will bring this matter to the table and put it on the line.

Not long ago, Dalaran expelled all the spies planted by Lordaeron, which annoyed Terenus, and the two countries almost broke out into war.

As for how much worse is this handicap...... Only the two countries in question know best.

Even at the worst of their relationship, Dalaran did not banish the spies that Quel'Salas had planted.

In the final analysis, the diplomatic turmoil at the beginning was originally Dalaran's fault.

Antonidas had always wanted to rebuild his relationship with Quel'Thalas, so it was impossible to offend the High Elves in any way.

According to the information provided by Valeera, Dalaran will have a six-member Backlight Blade team stationed at any time, and if they detect something unusual, they will immediately relay the information to the headquarters of Silvermoon City.

This time, the team had apparently encountered an unusual unexpected.

All six of them lost contact, and they only had time to send a brief message calling for help, without even attaching any notes.

"...... on this point"

Antonios explained with a solemn expression: "Although I am not 100% sure, I speculate that the disappearance of those 'citizens' of Quel'Salas should be related to the crisis that Dalaran is facing now. ”

Sarjan narrowed his eyes cautiously: "Your Excellency, is this true?" There's no intention of borrowing a knife to kill someone, is it? ”

"Of course not."

Antonidas explained: "As far as I know, those 'citizens' disappeared after entering the sewers, and if Count Deepshadow doesn't believe me, he can go to the sewer entrance in Area XC to investigate. ”

There is more than one sewer entrance to Dalaran, and there are all corners of the city.

Romans, Ronin, and Calle use the official entrance, which is on the side of Violet Castle, and the entrance is guarded by Kenrito guards at all times, so order is maintained relatively well.

It is obviously impossible for the thieves of the Backlight Blade to swagger in through the official channel, even if Dalaran is well aware of their existence, the matter of reconnaissance and intelligence cannot be put on the surface, otherwise it will be completely defaceless to Dalaran.

Now that Dalaran is in an urgent situation, it is impossible for Antonidas to offend the High Elves at this juncture.

Saljan chose to trust Antonidas, and before turning to leave Violet Castle and start the action, he raised his mouth as if unintentionally.

"By the way, why didn't you see Archmage Kel'thugad? I'd like to ask him some questions about spells. ”

Antonidas didn't expect Sarian to suddenly mention Kel'thugad, and after a pause, he said suspiciously: "Kelthugad has been studying in retreat in his mage tower, and it is said that the research project is at a critical time, and he can't take a break. ”

A strange look flashed in Speaker Kenrito's eyes: "Count Deepshadow, can you take the liberty of asking, what kind of spell are you going to ask Kel'thugad for advice?" ”

Sallian said disapprehantly: "Nothing bad to say, as you can see......"

Sarren's left and right hands shone with different spell lights at the same time, green in the left hand and gray in the right.

"By chance, I acquired the inheritance of a special profession called the Thorn Whisperer."

"This warfare function uses both the power of death and the power of life, and can reconcile these two forces of mutual restraint with each other."

"I still have some experience with the force of nature, but the power of death ...... It's just too rare. ”

"I've heard that Archmage Kel'thugad has studied the Lich Merry Winterwind's notes, so I guess he can give me some inspiration on how to use the power of death effectively."

Merry Winterwind, the first lich ever in Azeroth, is one of the founders of the Council of Tirisfar.

After the catastrophe of the Council of Tirisfar, Merry Winterwind was the last remaining member of the Force, the only lucky one who was not found and killed by Medivan (Sargeras).

Merry Winterwind was first active during the Troll Wars and was one of the first human mage apprentices to receive the High Elves' initiation.

Merry was killed in the troll war, but he was soon resurrected as a lich due to the war, rejoined the battle, and was later involved in the establishment of the councils of Dalaran and Tirisfar.

Merry Winterwind is a patriarch who witnessed the division of human civilization from division to unity and then to division, and the notes he left behind are one of the precious documents that Dalaran has preserved.

Sarayan wasn't sure if Merry Winterwind's magic notes contained information about the Lich and the power of death, and he intended to use it to trick Antonidas.

Sure enough, hearing the term death power, Antonidas's face changed, and his eyes showed a thoughtful look.

"If Count Deep Shadow has time after he finishes his work, you can go to the Mage Tower in Kel'thugad and talk to him in person."

Salian smiled noncommittally: "I hope to find time as you say, then we will take our leave." ”

"I wish you all the best on this trip."

After seeing the three of them leave, Antonidas withdrew the smile on his face and looked at one of the towers in the city with a frown.

"Is the power of death ......"

Like evil powers, the power of death is a forbidden force in Dalaran that is not allowed to be studied.

Dalaran's various taboos were laid out in plain detail, and Antonidas didn't believe that Salian wouldn't know.

'Deliberately provoked? Or is it true? ’

……

Although the information provided by Antonidas should be true, the three of them made a trip to the XC area just in case.

From the mouths of nearby residents, Valeera, who suffers from social, easily asked for the information she wanted.

"It can basically be confirmed that the information is correct, and the six people disappeared on the same night."

"Hmmm......"

Sallian stood in front of the entrance to the sewers, looking thoughtfully at the passage of the black hole.

"Lyras, what do you think?"

"Huh?"

The frowning Lyras paused for a moment, then scratched his head and said, "I guess I encountered some kind of emergency in the sewers, but it's ......."

Lyras asked incomprehensibly: "I don't know much about the Backlight Blade, but I can guess with my ass that the spies who can be sent out are undoubtedly elites." ”

"What kind of accident would have caused a team of six to send an emergency call for help?"

Each expatriate Backlight Blade squad has only one emergency call signal, and is usually kept in the hands of the strongest and best captain.

This one-time transmitter is expensive to build, with a built-in space spell that, once activated, automatically sends a distress message back to Backlight's Blade HQ.

Under normal circumstances, when sending a call for help, the team leader will briefly describe the situation they encountered in the notes, so that the rescuers can configure the team in a targeted manner.

Based on this, it is speculated that this Backlight Blade team may have encountered a powerful enemy that would be difficult for them to resist.

It was with this in mind that Kael'thas sent a team of the legendary duo of Saljan + Valera, and he was confident that the two veteran teammates would find out the truth.

Lyras? It's just a volunteer.

Although Kael'thas doesn't have any hope for the young Lyras for the time being, since he has been brought out, Saljan has no intention of letting him follow the soy sauce, just taking the opportunity to cultivate this little friend and increase his knowledge.

Lyras had also participated in the Second Orc War, and although his experience in dealing with emergencies was far less mature than that of Saléan and Valeera, he was not a young master of the greenhouse who had never seen anything.

Sarjan: "What do you think the enemy could be?" It's okay to take a guess. ”

"Uh......"

Lyras lowered his head and pondered, "The orc warlock who infiltrated the underground of Dalaran? An archmage who studies forbidden spells in private? ”

Valera couldn't help but shake her head and smile: "Sure enough, your worldview is still too narrow. ”

"Orcs? The group of bereaved dogs that had already fallen ill was not a threat at all, as for the archmage...... What kind of mage do you think can completely suppress fellow archmage Derlandon so that he can't even escape? ”

Sarren's eyes flashed: "Although Ronin speculates that this matter has nothing to do with Lordaeron, ...... Is it really completely unrelated? ”
