Chapter 424: Red-haired Old Scumbag?
Although Vandal Deerhelm rattled his strong chest, Sarean thought he was overly optimistic.
It is true that Sandara is one of the ancient cities of the Shadow Elves, but it is the High Elves who govern the city and destroy it to death.
Strictly speaking, the upper elves are not a race, but a class.
All people in the Night Empire can be counted as Night Elves, and only the nobles of the upper ranks can be called Upper Elves.
This is the composition of all the Night Empire's ancient cities, including Sandara, where the upper elves manage a large number of Night Elf civilians in the city.
Due to the death of the upper elves, a large number of innocent Night Elf civilians in the city of Sundara were tragically killed, and their souls still linger in the Crystal Song Forest, and the resentment that soars to the sky cannot be dissipated for a long time.
Since the warrior level exceeded 50 and officially entered the legendary realm, Salian clearly felt that the level increase had become extremely slow.
He finally understood why Santis hadn't been able to reach 60 in 10,000 years.
Because 50-60 requires too much XP, every time you level up, the XP required for the next level will increase further.
It's been months since Sarian reached level 50, and he's never slackened in his daily training routine.
He often mingled with his family, such as Valera and Stella Gossa, and occasionally traveled to the island of Queldanus to find a mentor, Salorian.
But a few months later, it took Sarjan to reach a warrior level of 51.
Seeing the long experience bar required for level 51-52, Sarjan pouted helplessly.
"Sure enough, it's not so easy to break through the legend and upgrade to transcendental."
Under the involution wave set off by Sarjan, Valera and Stella Gossa did not relax their training, and Little Star was even promoted to level 51 earlier than Sarren.
Due to the unusually slow improvement of the warrior level, Sarean has not forcibly improved by leaps and bounds in the past few months, and will only maintain a fixed training time every day, and the rest of the time will be devoted to miscellaneous tasks such as territory management and overall planning of Quel'Salas.
If he had time to spare, Saljan would read the alchemy book given by Melia and study the transformation of the power of life and death.
As he delved deeper into the particular profession of the Thornspeaker, Saljan also learned more about the species on the Death Side.
When a person dies, the soul is bound to be separated from the body.
Except for special individuals who are favored by the god of death such as Bonsandy and Hela, the other souls will continue to wander aimlessly in the material world, waiting for Grien, who has been promoted to the fortress, to come and pick them up.
Most ordinary souls cannot be seen by mortals, and their soul fluctuations are so weak that only those who have the power of death can vaguely perceive the existence of these weak souls.
If the deceased has some kind of obsession in front of them and cannot be dispersed after death, their form can be directly seen, but they cannot have any contact with the living, and they can only turn to people to achieve their wishes.
Compared to the above two, the Night Elf spirits that wander in Sandara are not so gentle.
These aimless spirits roaming the forest are resentful spirits, and they will attack any creature that passes by with a grudge against the living.
Only when you have suffered a great grievance before you die, or if you die with some very strong obsession, will you be transformed into a resentful spirit.
Wraiths are not only aggressive, but also not weak.
Once forcibly possessed by the spirits, even if they can break free from their control with willpower, they are likely to become seriously ill afterwards.
This is because the spirit itself carries a certain amount of death power, and for the living who are unable to resist this power, the death power is like a virus that enters the human body and will harm the body of the living.
Among the Backlight Blade thieves who went to the Crystal Song Forest to investigate the intelligence in advance, there was a young unlucky man who was accidentally ambushed and possessed by the wraith.
It wasn't long before he was shivering and sick, and was on his way back from Yangfan Harbor on Kul Tiras's icebreaker.
For those who hold the power of death, destroying the spirits and absorbing their residual power of death is also a way of cultivation.
After months of grinding, Sarjan's Thorn Whisperer level slowly increased to level 34.
He planned to take advantage of this trip to Northrend to raise the level of the Thorntalker by the way.
……
After seeing off Vandal Deerhelm, Sarjan finally entered the palace to greet Kael'thas, who was also busy, and then hurried to the Tower of Sunrage with the Sun King's warrant.
The Tower of the Sunwrath is a royal mage tower managed by the Sunseeker royal family, and has the most abundant human and material resources of all the mage towers in all of Quel'Salas.
Previously, the Backlight Blade Thieves who set off on a mission had recorded the coordinates of the magic net of the Crystal Song Forest.
Through an ultra-long-range portal opened by the royal mages, Sarren, Stellagosa, Tinagosa, and Inas teleported directly across the ocean to the Crystal Song Forest.
Compared with the Yongge Forest, which is full of greenery in all seasons, Jingge Forest presents a more like an autumn forest scene.
At the place where the four of Salian stayed, most of the surrounding trees had red or yellow leaves, and they looked golden as far as the eye could see.
This is supposed to be the outer edge of the Crystal Song Forest, and it is still a long way from the ruins of Shandara in the east of the central part of the forest.
Tiny Tina volunteered to take off to scout, while the others used Soul Link's vision sharing feature to observe their surroundings through Tina's eyes.
Breaking out of the dense canopy, the first thing Tinagosa saw was a giant tree rising from the ground, not far southwest of where the four were located.
To the north, there is a small lake, from which a meandering river runs through most of the Crystal Song Forest.
"Tina, face north, turn the perspective upwards."
"Okay~"
At Sarren's instructions, Tina Gossa turned to look due north, her little head tilted up little by little.
"Sure enough."
Salren's eyes narrowed as he followed the small cascade down to see the large ice wall above the lake.
This waterfall cliff is the junction of the Icecrown Glacier that connects the Crystal Song Forest, and is one of the strategic points that the High Elves must focus on guarding against.
Salaan intends to build a dam fortress above the ice wall to monitor the movement of the Scourge on Icecrown Glacier, making it the first line of defense north of the nascent Sandara.
But it's too early to say this, and I haven't even skimmed the eight characters yet.
Salaan took out the flare he had received from Vellais and shot it into the sky, and 3-5 minutes later, several Backlight Blade thieves in different clothes arrived to rendezvous.
"The Sun King's warrant and seal, confirmed."
One of the male thieves in the lead respectfully returned the warrant to Sarren: "Count Deep Shadow, please order." ”
Saljan learned the identity of this person from Wellles in advance, and he was one of the senior members of the Backlight Blade, named Yatra Corona.
The characteristics of the Corona family are evident, and their descendants all have fiery red hair.
This is clearly inconsistent with the thief's principle of keeping a low profile, and in order not to attract unwanted attention, Yatra completely covers his red hair with a dark turban.
[Atru (auditory hallucination)? Red...... Red-haired old scumbag? 】
[Grass, it's Atra, and there can't be red-haired demons in this world.] 】
Instead of giving the Backlight Blade team a new mission, Salian first asked the thieves led by Yatra about the situation.
"How's your exploration going, and have you found any valuable clues?"
"Yes."
Yatra was a contemporary of Julian and Velles, and his attitude seemed rather cold and hard, and he should have been a more rigorous person.
"The encrypted information we sent back earlier, I think Earl Deep Shadow has already seen it, right?"
Sarian nodded: "The Sun King is already aware of the movement of the Icecrown Glacier, and he plans to arrange for the engineers and the Arcane Golems to build a fortress above the large ice wall in the northwest of the Crystal Song Forest. ”
Yatra did not comment on Kael'thas's decision, and continued to report one by one.
"Except for the movement of the Icecrown Glacier, the area around the Jingge Forest is relatively calm for the time being."
"There is no sign of civilized ethnicity inhabiting the snowy fields to the north, and we have only found a few savage kobolds and mammoths beneath the cliffs."
"As for the cliffs...... By order of the chief of the Velles, we did not rush to climb, so as not to startle the snakes. ”
"Wise decision," said Salian, "this is not the place we can set foot in for the time being, continue to keep an eye on the Storm Cliffs, and let me know as soon as there is any movement." ”
"Yes."
Artra continued without moving: "The south side of the Crystal Song Forest is connected to the Dragonbone Wilderness, and the dragons obviously have no interest in this land, and have never sent people to inspect it. ”
"Finally, the east, and the most troublesome side."
Atra's demeanor became grim: "As you might expect, the Dakale trolls have been trying to invade the Crystal Song Forest, and they have established an outpost on the border between the two places in the east, and are clearing the local spirits. ”
