While meeting the "heavily armed" Kel'thugad, Sarena captures a very subtle trace of xenomorph energy.

"What is this?"

Sarren's originally relaxed expression suddenly became serious.

"Sure enough, there's someone watching over there, too?"

Kel'thugad was once an archmage who transformed himself into an immortal lich, and now he should be called the Great Lich.

Skilled in both arcane and psychic arts, Kel'thugad has two energies in his body, representing order and arcane and psychic representing death, which do not interfere with each other, and are not as incompatible as holy light and shadow.

When both Sarjan and Kel'thugad felt each other's familiar energy fluctuations, a wisp of evil energy suddenly broke into Sarjan's perception.

Sarean didn't know if Naozu would have evil powers, but the poor creature who didn't even have a body must still be locked in the Ice Throne at this time, and it couldn't have been him himself.

Then it was obvious that Kel'thugad was following the investigation of the Dreadlord who had been sent by Kil'Gardan to cause trouble in Azeroth.

The Dreadlords who followed Neozu into Azeroth were all members of the elite of the clan, consisting of four people: Varymasas, Detheroc, Marganis, and Banazal.

Salajan had thought that Tikdios, the leader of the Dreadlord, had also come in, but after the barrage corrected him, he realized that this perception was wrong.

Tikdios is the leader of the Nasrezm clan, and has a high position in the Burning Legion, and is also very powerful.

The most important thing is that because of his strength, Tikdios is unable to break through the barrier of the planetary barrier.

In Sarren's opinion, most of the Dreadlords look like a hanger, and unless the other party declares himself, he can't recognize who is who.

Following the very faint pursuit of evil energy, Sarian spotted a sneaky Northland buck about 500 meters behind Kel'thugad.

The magic net of the Crystal Song Forest had been modified by the Blue Dragon at the behest of Sarren a few years ago in order to support the newly planted Miracle Tree Akandor.

Thanks to the presence of this giant tree that balances arcane and life forces, the Crystal Song Forest is bathed in the gentle power of blended arcane at all times.

It is well known that the arcane arts, which represent order, and the evil energy, which represents chaos, are in conflict when encountered.

In this environment full of arcane energy, no matter how hard he tries to suppress it, to Sarren, who has excellent perception, the evil aura emanating from the Dreadlord will be as conspicuous as a firefly in the night.

Sarean wasn't sure if Kel'thugad had realized that he was being watched by Neozu's men.

Previously, Salian speculated that Naozu should be remotely monitored in real time, but this guy directly sent someone to follow behind.

Salian had planned to rub shoulders with Kel'thugad in the wilderness, exchanging information through close eye gaze and lip talk.

Now it seems that the original plan is not convenient to continue to implement.

Considering that Naozu may have maintained a spiritual connection with Kel'thugad all along, Sarean did not dare to rush into the soul channel, so as not to startle the snake.

Turning his head to survey his surroundings, Salian had an idea, took out a fine-grade battle axe captured from an enemy from the spatial package, and changed into a civilian-looking outfit.

"Tuk! Sincere! ”

As Detherlock followed Kel'thugad to the outside of the grove, he heard the knock of something hard.

Kel'thugad took advantage of the situation and put a curious expression on his face, and cautiously moved in the direction where the voice came from, and the Decelok Buck was also following closely behind him.

Upon entering the grove, Kel'thugad and Detherlock saw a woodcutter wielding a "logging axe" in an effort to chop down trees.

“1、2…… 3！ ”

The woodcutter, shouting slogans, seemed to be completely oblivious to the arrival of the two uninvited guests, and a subtle flash of understanding flashed in Kel's eyes.

'Heh~ It's really fast. ’

"Woodcutter over there, I'd like to ask for directions."

Kel'thugad took the initiative to ask the woodcutter wearing a snowproof hood on his head: "I want to go to the Icecrown Glacier, which direction should I go next?" ”

The city of Shinsugidara has never been associated with the Icecrown Glacier, so naturally there is no special road to the glacier.

After leaving the last township in the northwestern part of the Crystal Song Forest, Kel'thugad had been weaving through the tall trees of the cold zone, and it was not uncommon for him to be unsure.

At the very least, Detherlock was not suspicious of Kel'thugad's way-finding behavior.

"Huh?"

The woodcutter gasped and turned to look at the sound, revealing a young face with a wild beard.

The long-lived High Elves can maintain their peak for a long time, and Dessellock has no doubts about the woodcutter's youthful appearance.

In Dytherock's eyes, Kel'thugad just asked the panting woodcutter for directions, and the two exchanged less than ten words in total, just half a minute.

After bidding farewell to the woodcutter, Kel'thugard continued to hurry with a calm look on his face, and Dytherock hung behind him.

"Heh~"

After confirming that Kel'thugad and Detherlock were far away, Salian wiped off his fake mustache and removed the hood from his head, revealing a very conspicuous long silver hair.

Quel'Thalas rarely has this kind of hair color of the Sarjan, and is generally red, brown, and gold, but there are many silver-haired people in the Night Elves.

Such a conspicuous feature, once seen by Dee Therlock, would surely arouse his suspicions.

When communicating with Kel'thugad, Sare kept his head bowed in a humble manner.

Civilians faced the mage master, and it was understandable to put on this low posture.

Through Sarjan's seemingly panting, but in fact wriggling lips, Kel'thugad gained some up-to-date information about Naozu and the Burning Legion.

Stepping out of the last woods and officially entering the Icecrown Glacier, which has no vegetation cover, Kel'thugad looked in the direction of the Ice Throne with a somewhat deep gaze.

'Fear of the Demon King? Heh~ Guy in the way. ’

The Dreadlords are experts at intrigues, and if it weren't necessary, Kel'thugad, as a spy, didn't want to deal with them at all.

Fortunately, Nao Zu thought so too, and finally recruited a local talent, and he must not be persuaded by the Dreadlord to join the Burning Legion.

It is foreseeable that in order to keep Kel'thugad, a former Kenrito councilor who knows the many secrets of Azeroth, Naozu will definitely do his best to encircle him, and he will not be easily suspicious.

But to put it another way, before the Scourge officially made its fortune and its affairs became busy, Kel'thugad, who was closely watched by Naozu, was not able to pass information on a regular basis with Shin Sudara.

Salian has long learned the truth that there are gains and losses, and he does not force this.

At least in the last 3 years, it is unlikely that the fledgling Scourge will be able to get out of Northrend, nor will it be able to pose any real threat to Azeroth, and there will be time for Kel'thugad to slowly hibernate and gain the trust of Naozu step by step.

Seeing Kel'thugad walk into the uninhabited Icecrown Glacier, Sarjan turned around and headed back in the direction of the Keel Wilderness.

According to the plan, he planned to go to the Temple of Dragon's Sleep to say hello to Taran and the others, and by the way, he handed over the copy of the resurrection ritual compiled by Merry to Crassus.

……

When Saljan turned into a sharp-tailed swift and hurried all the way to the Temple of Dragon's Sleep, Valera and Stella Gossa, far away in the Valley of Thorns, had just finished their mission and were ready to set off for Northrend.

Valeera's trip was mainly responsible for discussing the development and sale of oil in the crater with the hot sand consortium.

Due to the large number of ferocious beasts living in the crater, the goblins of the Hot Sand Consortium had never entered the area in a big way, and they had not been able to discover the precious open-pit oil field.

After the port of Nanhai, which has been transporting crude oil for a long time, came into the sight of the hot sand group, the trading prince of the hot sand consortium, Strym Wild, was so distressed that he beat his chest and regretted why he had not made up his mind to invest manpower and material resources to enter the crater earlier.

In any case, when the Hot Sand Consortium established the desert city of Gakison north of Tanaris, the crater oil field had long since been seized by the High Elves.

Unable to nibble on the fattest bite of meat, Strymwhite did not give up, and he always wanted to find an opportunity to negotiate with Salian about the development of the crater oil field.

As far as Strymwild knows, Quel'Thalas' need for fossil fuels such as oil is not great, after all, they have solar wells that provide unlimited clean energy.

That's right, in the eyes of goblins accustomed to polluting oil, the energy produced by the solar well is undoubtedly clean.

But Sarean doesn't think so, and addiction is a stark counterexample.

With the assistance of a large number of business negotiators accompanying her, Valera was able to reach an agreement with Strymwilder.

The Marquis of Deepshadow agrees to sell the excess crude oil that Quel'Thalas does not need to be used to the Hot Sands Consortium in exchange for the technical support of the Goblins to increase the exploitation of the Salian fields.

After negotiating with the goblins, Valera did not leave the Valley of Thorns with her negotiators, but traveled north alone to join Stellagossa at the Darkspear Clan's headquarters.

Having just arrived near her destination, Valilla was witnessing the final battle between the Dark Spear and the Bloodtop and Skull Crackers.
