Azeroth Shadow Trail

   Chapter 664 217. You work for me and then pay me, this is a very reasonable thing

   "The strongest metal, well, I still have a few boxes of Elementium Ore there, as long as Onyxia sends me craftsmen who can smelt them, this one will be satisfied.

   Dragon's tendons are now also available. "

   In the darkness of the night leaving Lordaeron to Silverpine Forest, Black held a complicated weapon design behind the Hippogryph to examine it.

   He looked at the material requirements on this drawing, rubbed his chin and said:

   "The wood for the main body of the toughest hand crossbow is left now, and the original embryo of the 'Crow Guard' can be made. It happens to be quenched together with the moonlight armor.

   Hmm, wait, there's the Muradin thing.

   Find him to get the sword out first, and then quench the three things together.

Perfect! "

  The pirate whistled, made a plan in his heart, put away the blueprint again, squinted his eyes and thought:

   "When these things are ready, and when the beast covenant between me and the stupid wolf and the big bear goes further, it is time to prepare for the wild trial. According to the turtle man, the spear of the wild gods fell into Hela's hands.

   This time, he might end up in hell.

   Well, thinking about it is exciting.

   But the high-risk, high-reward, wild trials of the highest difficulty can directly make my hunter career reach the elite level once I pass the estimation.

   After all three common occupations are at full level, you can shape the power of legend and advance to the realm of legend. Moreover, the upgrade of the hunter's profession will also allow my watcher profession to unlock new powers.

Whether    can take off depends on this wave. "

   He moved his fingers, a flash of desire for power flashed in his eyes, and quickly suppressed this impulsive thought, pulling the reins of the Hippogryph and flying under the night.

   If you turn your head slightly, you can see the huge violet-colored barrier below.

   The big enchantment shining with the radiance of magic is like an eggshell, clasping the ruins of Dalaran City and Lordamere Lake, isolating all connections between inside and outside.

   In the middle of the night, you can still see some spellcasters going back and forth.

   "It was really hard work."

  Blake sighed in a perfunctory manner.

   He glanced further afield and found that the giant staff that Archimonde had left on the ruins of Dalaran had disappeared.

   Probably those mages put it away, wanting to use it to study the mysteries of Argus and the like.

  Black didn't plan to come down to help, those mages probably hated him now.

   But when Black was about to leave, the sharp-eyed he was locked by the flip of Kilrogg's Eye. Outside the Dalaran giant pit, on a hill in Silverpine Forest, he saw the figures of two guys.

   One of them is familiar.

   "Well, the kitten man didn't sleep for most of the night, what did he do there? Walk the cat?"

  The pirate recognized that person as the high-level mage Kel'Thuzad, and he immediately became interested, turned the Hippogryph's flight direction, and flew towards the hill.

   What is Kel'Thuzad doing?

   is not doing anything bad.

   In fact, he will be fulfilling the task given to him by the Council of Six.

   "This Book of Ur is a collection of knowledge left by your mentor. As the only disciple of Archmage Ur, you are qualified to inherit it, Arugal."

On the hillside far from the ruins of the city, Kel'Thuzad, with a sleeping kitten on his shoulders, was serious and indifferent, and handed a thick black magic tome wrapped in chains to the staff carrying the staff in front of him. , a young man in a low-key but well-textured robe.

  The latter looked at the book that was brought to him with a complicated expression, sighed again, reached out and took the book, and rubbed it in his hand.

   He said in a low tone:

   "Actually you don't have to give it to me.

  Master Ur was my nominal mentor, but he didn't really teach me.

   After realizing my weak spellcasting ability, the teacher was not very willing to waste time on me, he just used me as his assistant.

   After he was expelled by the Council of Six, although I still lived in his mage tower, I learned magic and other things from other teachers.

   I don't think I am qualified to inherit this Summoning Book, which records the brainchild of Master Ur.

   You take it back, put it in the Great Library, and let other interested mages go. Well, the Great Library has been destroyed. "

   Having said this, Master Arugao suddenly understood.

   He glanced in the direction of the Dalaran crater, and said in a strange tone:

   "The Council of Six felt that it was not safe to give this book to others, so they sealed it up and left it to me, a guy whose spellcasting ability is weaker than paper, for safekeeping?

  They want me to take this book out of Dalaran and into Gilneas for safekeeping? "

   "That's about it."

  The indifferent Kel'Thuzad said calmly:

   "The Council of Six learned that you are going back to your hometown to develop your own business, but with your lack of spellcasting ability, it is difficult to find a job that can make a living in the field of magic.

   This Summoning Tome left by your mentor is yours to keep. On the one hand, thank you for obtaining the temporary right to use Shadowfang Castle for us through your contacts in your hometown.

   This is a compliment from the Kirin Tor to you.

   On the other hand, this book can also bring you some self-preservation and the power to show yourself.

  As Master Ur's former assistant, no one knows this book better than you.

   You also don’t have to worry about calling out of control.

  The Council of Six has put a seal on this book, and the summoning spells of those dangerous creatures will not be open to you until your spellcasting ability reaches the level of breaking the seal. "

   "Well, I don't think I can break the seal either."

  Aru shrugged, the young mage quickly adjusted his mind, and threw the Book of Ur back into his luggage. He solemnly performed spellcaster etiquette to Kel'Thuzad and said:

   "I thank the Council of Six for their trust in me. Although I am incompetent, I will do my best to protect the valuable knowledge left by my mentor. I will bring it back to Gilneas and hide its secrets.

   After this rough time in Dalaran, I'll send it back to the city's library. "

   "Well, the Kirin Tor will remember your dedication, Mage Arugal."

   Kel'Thuzad glanced at the night sky and said:

   "It's time for you to set off. I wish you a happy life in your hometown."

"goodbye."

   Arugao smiled cheerfully, waved at Kel'Thuzad, glanced at the cat on his shoulder with a weird expression, turned and walked down the hillside.

   A low-key carriage was waiting for him there.

   Judging from the family crest on the carriage, the family to which Arugal Mage belongs should have an unusual status in Gilneas, and it is no wonder that this guy with poor spellcasting ability can join the Kirin Tor in a grand manner.

   It seems that in the wizarding world, the same rules of banknote ability apply.

   "I said, it doesn't seem like a good thing for you to give something like the Book of Ur to an ambitious but incompetent guy?"

   Just when Kel'Thuzad was about to return to the station with his beloved kitten, a voice that was familiar and disgusting to him sounded behind him, causing the high-level mage to frown.

   He glanced back.

   In the shadow of the branches behind him, Black wearing a hunting suit was sitting there, holding a half-full wine bottle in his hand, his feet dangling in the air.

   "If you are forced to find a suitable hiding place due to the bad situation, I don't mind keeping the book for you. Speaking of which, it is my blessing that the book can be retrieved by you.

   The dark knowledge in that book almost killed me.

real.

   Just a little bit. "

  The pirate squeezed his eyes and raised his fingers in a "too" gesture.

"Dalaran holds a lot of dangerous things, and the Book of Ur has little destructive power compared to them. With Dalaran being destroyed, it's easy to keep storing those forbidden knowledge together. Attract malicious prying.

   I don't think there is anything wrong with the handling of the Council of Six. "

   Kel'Thuzad looked at Black indifferently, and said:

   "Arugal is one of our members, he is a sensible man and will not choose to betray us. He has his own ambitions, but it does not conflict with our interests.

   As for you.

  You are much more dangerous than him. "

   "You know that I'm so dangerous, how dare you bring your precious egg kitten to face me alone?"

  Blake laughed, looked left and right, then sniffed playfully, sniffing in the dark, he said:

   "Well, I see, you are not alone. There is a newly dug cemetery around, you are on your own 'home', you are not afraid."

   He jumped down, stood in front of Kel'Thuzad, took a sip of wine, hooked his finger at the high-level mage, and said:

   "Come on, let me see your 'undead army'. You genius of forbidden magic, you have been stealing psychics for so long, you should come up with something that will make my eyes shine, right?"

   "I'm not interested in showing you what's inside of me."

  Kel'Thuzad guarded his cat, took a step back vigilantly, and said with a look of disgust:

   "I'm not interested in fighting you either."

   "But I'm interested in bullying you, kid."

  Black with full of malice, laughing and laughing into the shadows, he seemed determined to pay attention to the hidden power of Kel'Thuzad.

The high-level mage was forced to do nothing. Amid the harassment of fingers and fists protruding from the shadows, he stepped back while clenching his teeth and pinched out a magic handprint. With the hidden shadow magic power erupting, a few people around him. There was a strange movement in the newly covered tomb.

   "Okay, stop!"

   When the first twisted arm protruded out of the soil in horror, Black appeared in front of Kel'Thuzad and made a "pause" action.

   He was holding a scoreboard and a magic pen in his hand, and he wrote and drew on it. There was no hostility in his body, and it was like a "magic assessment".

   While writing something on the paper of the recording board, he said in a very professional tone:

   "It's enough to do this.

   Shadow magic works very skillfully. It seems that you didn't start to transform magic properties recently. I doubt that you used some warlock skills to transform your arcane magic into shadow attributes.

   can also wake up four corpses at a time without touching them, and let them break through the tomb and climb out by themselves, which undoubtedly exceeds the strength that normal corpses should have.

  You empowered them with shadow magic.

  Very good, it seems that you have mastered the technique of 'domination of the dead' in the psychics inherited from the Shadowmoon clan.

   I have reason enough to deduce that waking up four corpses at once is not your limit.

   What a genius at this!

   I doubt Ner'zhul could have done that when he was as young as you. "

  Black sighed in admiration, raised his head, glanced at Kel'Thuzad with a defensive face, and asked:

   "Can you hear sounds in your sleep?"

   "What sound? What are you talking about?"

  Kel'Thuzad hugged the cat in his arms and stepped back to leave. The expression on his face was still indifferent, but the panic in his eyes couldn't hide from Black.

   "Don't play stupid! I'll ask you something."

  The pirate swooped and blocked Kel'Thuzad's way with a flash.

   He raised the paper and text in his hand and said:

"I'm assessing whether your professional level is enough to enter a 'confidential subject' project team that our Nassars College has just started. For a young person like you, participating in such a high-level research project is not a good idea. Your future prospects will definitely benefit greatly.

  Young people should not think about making money to support their families, and don’t be too ambitious. They should move forward step by step, accumulate experience and reputation first, and then they will be able to independently make money by doing projects.

   Don’t be preoccupied with immediate benefits, invest more for the future.

   Are you right?

   Now, tell me, can you hear the sound?

   I mean, the voice from the Shadowlands, the voice that promises you the knowledge of death.

   also requires you to make a contract.

  Gives you knowledge and power while you are alive, but after you die, your soul will belong to, uh, the Ritual Chamber of Secrets, and become an orthodox war lich.

   might even promise you to be a 'Baron of Death' or something. "

   After the pirates finished speaking, Kel'Thuzad looked at him with not only vigilance and suspicion, but a kind of shock and confusion.

   Evidently, Blake had something on his mind.

   Seeing the change in his expression, the pirate nodded, stretched out his hand to write and draw on the recording board in his hand, and finally tore off the piece of paper and handed it to Kel'Thuzad in front of him.

He says:

   "Very well, the forces of death have noticed your transcendent talents, they have called you, but now is not the time to answer it, because you are not ready.

  I now formally invite you to join the "Death Knight Occupational System Research and Death Aura Application and Research Research Group" of Nar'Thalas College. If you agree, you can report to Tol Barad as a junior researcher within seven days.

  If you come fast enough, you will also have the honor of witnessing a lich's ascension ceremony. This can bring you enough theoretical knowledge and practical possibilities.

   In short, this is a rare opportunity, don't miss it.

Oh, right.

  Because it is a junior researcher, we are not responsible for providing you with salary and room and board. You have to prepare these yourself.

   In addition, as a student who has learned valuable knowledge from us, you need to pay an additional tuition fee to join this project group.

  Don't look at me with that crazy look!

   This is a sacrifice for valuable knowledge and represents your attitude.

   And I heard that the city of Suramar, the nightborne elves, has also started to study the feasibility of the death knight career system. "

  Blake spread his hands and said helplessly to Kel'Thuzad, who had already been fooled:

   "This is a battle between two highly skilled magical research groups, and it is also a magical competition that concerns the reputation of Nar'Thalas College in the magical world.

   Frankly speaking, with the current magical attainments of Dalaran's spellcasters, they are not qualified to join such a competition.

   It is really a great honor for you to join the research on this topic as a selected talent.

   But I don't want to stress this anymore.

   So, remember, seven days!

   If you are late, you will miss the opportunity forever.

   When you come to work for us, remember to bring your tuition. "

   "I work for you, dedicate my wisdom and talent to you, and then I will give you an extra sum of money for no pay at all in order to win the job?"

  Kel'Thuzad looked at the "certification letter" with elegant notes in his hand. He looked at Blake strangely and said:

   "Why do I feel like I'm a fool being played by you? Do you really think I'll accept this harsh condition?"

   "You can refuse, but will you refuse?"

  Black grinned, pointed to Dalaran, and said:

   "Others can learn valuable knowledge there, but you're just wasting your life there, and you need what Dalaran can't give you, but we can.

  Welcome to the Academy of Nar'Thalas, future master of death magic. "
