When Sareen quickly turned the corner and saw Khadgar, he was not faced with the black knights who were supposed to be guarding the catacombs, but a dozen skeletons from nowhere.

Yes, skeletons.

In the undead battle sequence, skeletons are the lowest-level weak troops, but it is these weak miscellaneous soldiers who surround Khadgar in the center, forcing him to constantly dodge in embarrassment.

As a result of the trap set by the Black Knight, the forbidden enchantment covering the entire catacombs made Khadgar's powerful mana completely unleashable, and he suddenly had a sense of time and space confusion when he was a child when he first came into contact with spells.

"Hey~"

Salian slapped his forehead with a smile, not rushing to save Khadgar.

Skeletons with weak hands and feet are unlikely to threaten Khadgar's life even if they play to the limit, just enough to give him a long memory.

"Didn't I warn you, once you are affected by the forbidden demon props, you serious guy will become meat on the chopping board and be slaughtered."

"Just a squad of skeleton soldiers can push you so badly, and if the news reaches Dalaran, I'm afraid you'll become an enduring negative teaching material among the mage community."

Khadgar, sweating profusely and wielding the staff of Etiyes, still had the strength to retort loudly: "So don't be stupid over there!" Come and help me! ”

"Okay."

While jumping into the catacombs, Sarean felt the oppression of some kind of power.

Like Khadgar, he couldn't use any kind of spell at this point.

However, unlike the powerless Khadgar, Saljan has legendary strength even with physical strength alone.

It wasn't until Sarren slashed the skeleton with three swords and five divisions that Khadgar sat down on the ground with a relieved ass.

"Whew...... Call...... I...... Last ...... There is such a large amount of exercise...... It was years ago. ”

Sallian rolled his eyes angrily: "Just take it as a lesson, you should exercise your body." ”

"I don't require you to practice to the point where you can defeat all the mages of Dalaran in hand-to-hand combat, and at least have basic self-protection skills, right?"

In fact, Khadgar's situation is not unique.

During Antonidas' tenure at the helm of the Kenrito Council, pure back-row turret mages like him and Khadgar, who specialized in spells and neglected physical exercises, were the mainstream of Dalaran.

However, the times are always changing, and if you can't keep up with the changes of the times, you can only be abandoned by the times.

Ronin had been part of the rescue of the Red Dragon Queen with Saljan, Winresa, and Valeera.

Working with three teammates from the Chopper team, he was more or less affected.

In some cases where it was more convenient to do it than to use a staff, Ronin began to try to do it himself, abandoning Dalaran's rather arrogant principle of the supremacy of spells.

This idea was later brought back to Dalaran by Ronin, and with Sarean's encouragement, he began to take time off from studying spells.

Nearly ten years have passed, and the young and frizzy Luo Ning has become the speaker of Kenrito.

With his unremitting training, no one among Dalaran's mages could beat him in hand-to-hand combat.

By Sarjan's standards, this is nothing to be proud of, after all, most of Dalaran are old-school mages like Antonidas, who think that arcane can solve everything, and don't pay much attention to physical exercise at all.

In addition, the heavy work will be assigned to the apprentices in their own mage towers during daily work research, which further encourages the "laziness" of mages.

Long before Ronin officially succeeded Speaker Kenrito, he had been trying to change the mind of Master Dalaran.

With the permission of Antonidas, Ronin incorporated a set of mage-specific self-defense techniques he developed into the required program for Dalaran's apprentices.

This set of self-defense techniques does not require mages to be able to pick up their staff to defeat those melee classes, its purpose is only to strengthen the mage's self-protection ability under special conditions, at least until other companions lend a hand, so as not to be killed by the enemy's close behind.

Over the years, Ronin's reforms to Dalaran went well, and Quel'Salas used this as an opportunity to implement a similar reform of the Arcanist assessment system in the country.

But...... This has nothing to do with Khadgar, who has been trapped in Draenor for more than 8 years and completely disconnected from Azeroth.

Although Khadgar always drops the chain at critical moments, he is not a person who does not listen to persuasion, and this time his personal experience scared him out of a cold sweat, and he immediately accepted Sarren's suggestion with a wry smile.

Once Khadgar had regained some strength, Sarean watched amusefully as he gritted his teeth and poked the tail of the Etiyesh Staff into a crack in the wall.

"This trap should just be a 'transmitter', and the body that caused the Forbidden Demon Enchantment to trigger doesn't seem to be here."

Khadgar gasped and nodded, "That's right, this is the power of some kind of artifact, I must find this evil thing!" ”

Salian smiled helplessly: "Such a 'classic' trap will also be hit?" You're an old boy who's been pampered by Draeno for too long and has lost his vigilance against danger, right? ”

When the trap device is disposed of, the effect of the Forbidden Enchantment immediately dissipates.

Feeling the majestic mana return, Khadgar finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He was not in a hurry to continue looking for the warehouse where the Black Knight had stored the artifact, and sat down again with his staff in place.

"Perhaps, I haven't left Shattrath much in the past few years, and I've been asking Adar and other Naru for knowledge, and I'm really a little slack."

The barrage also doesn't know when the Holy Light Legion was officially founded.

However, according to the information known by the barrage, the leader of the Holy Light Legion, Zela, the Mother of Light, was the first life born during the cosmic order period, and the Holy Light Legion founded by her should also have a long history.

The longer an organization exists, the more knowledge it will preserve.

For a mage like Khadgar who is determined to seek the truth, knowledge is like an addiction to blood thistle, and Adar has no knowledge of the unknown that he cannot refuse.

In the nearly nine years that the Alliance Expeditionary Force has been trapped in Draenor, except for the first two years before the Storm Fleet arrived, Khadgar has remained in Shattrath almost all the time without moving, in order to drain the vast amount of knowledge that the Narus have as quickly as possible.

Until the Dark Gate was reopened, there were still a lot of things Khadgar hadn't learned on Naru's side, but he at least knew what was important.

While Khadgar, who was physically weak, was resting and recovering, Sarean chatted casually with him about some topics.

"Say." Khadgar asked Sarjan curiously, "Although I appreciate your willingness to accompany me to clean up Karazan, ...... You should have other things to do, right? Is it really appropriate to follow me to the upwind trail like this? ”

Khadgar's dodge is really not wrong.

Before he could figure out how to respond to Ronin's kind invitation, he simply ran to the upwind trail on the pretext of retaking Karazan.

In a way, this is a temporary escape.

"Heh~" Salian smiled meaningfully: "How do you know that I'm not doing business when I leave the front line for the time being?" ”

Khadgar's eyes moved slightly: "What are you calculating again?" Who is unlucky this time? ”

Instead of answering Khadgar's question head-on, Sarayan moved on to another topic.

"You've been away from Azeroth for more than 8 years, and you don't know a lot of what has changed in Azeroth over the years."

"Let me tell you a piece of information first, after Queen Galia led the re-establishment of the alliance, Quel'Salas quickly opened a sea route from the Forest of Yongsong to the Cursed Lands."

"Then the question is, why didn't I let the Quel'Thalas army return quickly on a transport, but let them slowly travel north through the winding overland?"

"This ......"

Khadgar wasn't stupid, he was just missing some of the information he needed to help him get to the bottom of Azeroth because he had been away from Azeroth for too long.

Under the guidance of Sarjan's step-by-step guidance, Khadgar's mind began to run at high speed, and combined with some information he had heard recently, he came up with an answer that he didn't know if it was correct or not, and his face showed a look of surprise.

"You did it on purpose? In order to put that ...... The main force of the Scourge Legion was all drawn out and scored in one net? ”

Saljan smiled meaningfully: "Count half of your answer right, as for the other half...... Just keep using your brain and think slowly. ”

"Alright!"

Sarjan stood up from the ground: "After the intermission, hurry up and find the warehouse where the artifact is stored, I don't want to fight the black knight who may come back at any time in this hellish place." ”

Khadgar, who was tickled by the provocation, cried out frantically, "Hey! Wait a minute! You're done! Shame on the broken dog!! ”
