LIVE: Azeroth

Chapter 1525 The Shadow Council Reappears?

In the words of the barrage, the Dalaran sewers can be described as crouching tigers, hidden dragons, and even the Kirin Tor Council, which is the local administrator, does not know how many monsters and ghosts are hidden in the sewers.

Valeera remembered very clearly that she and Sharlayan had sneaked into the sewers of this city many years ago, and together they killed a powerful Shivarla Destroyer.

A member of the Kirin Tor at that time, the Archmage Delandon, died at the hands of the destroyer.

Afterwards, the Kirin Tor guards took the opportunity to clean the sewers thoroughly, but it is impossible for the noble mages to focus on the dirty sewers all day long.

A few years later, with the successive settlement of the Black Sickle Council and the Uncrowned, the Dalaran dungeon has returned to its original mixed appearance.

And this kind of chaotic place where all kinds of forces are intertwined is just the environment where the fearful demon king who is good at disguising and sneaking in is the most comfortable environment.

Therefore, Valeera has no doubt that there are demons hidden in the sewers of Dalaran... After all, there are many warlocks living here.

Although she could clearly feel that she was being targeted by someone, Valeera did not make any abnormal moves, and was still wandering around in the black market, where the old god was present, picking up goods.

But in fact, Valeera is changing the angle of vision in a small range, trying to find the unknown person hiding in the dark and watching her.

Valeera was originally a professional in charge of intelligence work, with extremely rich experience in anti-reconnaissance.

Besides, with her current strength, unless the other party has stepped into the demigod realm, it is impossible to escape from her nose.

Soon, Valeera took advantage of the opportunity to buy an arcane core at a high price, and quietly locked on the target hiding in the dark.

In order to avoid alarming the enemy, Valeera did not directly riot in the black market.

She put on a happy expression with a fruitful harvest, packed the arcane core into the space package, and moved slowly towards the entrance of the sewer with bouncing and bouncing.

The so-called arcane core is actually the most important energy supply part of the arcane puppets commonly used in Quel'Thalas.

For outsiders, this thing is indeed a rarity.

But after leaving the environment of Quel'Thalas, the arcane core has no practical significance, at most it can only be used for collection and research.

The core of Quel'Thalas' arcane puppet is specially made, and it does not have the function of gathering energy.

To put it bluntly, this thing is just a wireless charging receiver, which recharges the body by receiving the arcane energy dissipated from the sunwell through frequency modulation.

Theoretically, Dalaran, which is powered by the Violet Eye, can also do this within the urban area, but Dalaran does not know the arcane frequency of the Sunwell. conclusive.

As such, arcane cores are indeed rare for nations outside of Quel'Thalas, but not something worth risking your life for.

After Valeera entered the sewer, she fine-tuned her appearance. Although she still retained the characteristics of a high elf, it was impossible for anyone who knew her to recognize her true identity. She was completely different.

It is not surprising that the high elves bought arcane cores, after all only they know the arcane frequency of the Sunwell.

If you bring back the outflowing arcane core and sell it to the Royal Arcane Association, you can get a lot of money.

Lured by Valeera's unhurried pace, as she got closer and closer to the entrance of the sewer, the mysterious man hiding in the dark and plotting evil finally couldn't help it.

The closer you are to the entrance and exit of the sewer, the better the security conditions will be.

If Vale is to be pulled, it must be done before she turns the last corner and comes into view of the Kirin Tor guards guarding the sewers.

As expected, Valeera's left foot was about to take the last step, and the enemy in the dark finally launched an attack.

Accompanied by a strange energy fluctuation, a very alluring female demon appeared out of nowhere, and threw the whip enchanted with fel energy at Valeera.

And then... no more.

How could a mere low-level succubus cause damage to a demigod-level thief like Valeera.

Before the tangled whip spread out to the limit, Valeera appeared beside the succubus with a ferocious smile as if teleporting, and stabbed her heart with a single knife.

"what!!"

Valeera ignored the succubus screaming and spewing out a large amount of green blood. She knew that such weak demons usually wouldn't haunt alone.

"Warlock?"

The succubus is one of the low-level demons that warlocks like to summon... because it is very practical, in every sense.

The frontal combat power of the succubus is almost negligible, but the charm ability possessed by the talent endows the succubus with a very practical control ability... especially for the opposite sex.

In addition, succubi also have the special ability to hide in the phase space and move, and those who are not vigilant can easily be charmed by them sneaking around.

Warlocks who want to summon and control demons must first sign a contract with them.

If the demon in the contract state dies, the warlock will also be slightly affected due to the backlash of the contract.

It's not serious, but it will inevitably reveal weak magic fluctuations.

It was precisely by virtue of this weak fluctuation that Valeera quickly locked onto the warlock who was hiding further away and manipulating the succubus' actions.

With the flash technique and the shadow step, Valeera appeared behind the warlock who was trying to escape in the blink of an eye, and the two Quercella short knives were respectively pressed against the back of the opponent's neck and the back of the heart.

"Say, who are you? Why are you attacking me?"

This warlock was covered in a dirty black robe. Valeera could feel a strong aura of evil energy from him (her), but she couldn't see the person's face.

"Cough cough!"

The black-robed warlock coughed twice in a hoarse voice, and then used the common human language with a strange accent to justify: "I... just want to make some money."

"This accent..."

The dagger in Valeera's left hand went around the front of the warlock's neck and grabbed his throat, and her right hand quickly pulled down the hood of his full-coverage cloak.

An ugly green face appeared in front of Valeera's eyes.

"It really is an orc... I know your origin, the remnants of the Shadow Council."

The hood was taken off, and the orc warlock's originally calm face immediately changed. The staff he was about to kick in his arms was raised backwards, and a miserable green energy-shaped skull quickly condensed on the head of the staff.

However, Valeera didn't give him a chance to fight back.

The Quelcella dagger in his right hand pierced the death coil that had not yet fully formed, and his left leg kicked him on the bend of his knee. Cooperating with his left hand, he subdued the orc warlock on the spot and knocked him to the ground.

"You...don't even think about...I..."

The orc warlock whose neck was stuck was flushed, and he was chanting words and wanted to chant spells.

"Boom!"

Valeera turned the handle of the knife upside down, and quickly struck the orc warlock's forehead with a very skilled technique. The orc who was brave and unyielding a moment ago immediately rolled his eyes and passed out.

After dragging the black-robed warlock to a corner where it would not be easy to attract attention, Valeera looked thoughtfully at this down-and-out guy.

"In this era, there are still the remnants of the Shadow Council active in Azeroth. Are they members of the original Shadow Council, or did they pretend to be self-proclaimed after the war?"

According to the information provided by Garona, the features of the Shadow Council are very recognizable. Like other orc clans, they drew special patterns as the organization's logo.

The symbol of the Shadow Council is a green skull with a long mouth and howling. The shoulder of the robe under the cloak of the stunned orc warlock in front of him is engraved with the logo of the Shadow Council, and his origin can be recognized at a glance.

Valeera collected some information related to the Shadow Council after the Second Orc War.

If the records of the intelligence personnel were correct, the Shadow Council would have been wiped out by Orgrim, the new official who took office three times before the start of World War II.

Gul'dan and Cho'gall, the only two who survived the massacre, also died successively due to various reasons. This orc warlock is obviously not one of them.

In other words, the Shadow Council warlock in front of him either sneaked over from Draenor after the war, or he forced himself to put gold on his face.

No matter what, Valeera didn't intend to let go of this information source who took the initiative to send it to her door.

Even if he has nothing to do with the real Shadow Council, at least he can obtain some information related to the Black Sickle Council through torture.

As a warlock who was also active in the sewers of Dalaran, Valeera couldn't believe that this guy had nothing to do with the Black Sickle Council.
