The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"It's a long story." Zelin sighed. "I thought it was a guard."

Altea wore a low-cut dress on the upper body, with white tassels on the edges and cuffs of the dress, and a corset waistband wrapped around the waist. The white long skirt stretched to the calf, revealing the black soft leather boots underneath. The saber was at his waist, swaying slightly as he walked.

"If necessary, I can call in a team of guards within a minute." She jokingly said with her thumbs pointed behind her, but Zelin believed that Altea would be able to get the guards over in half the time. . "But why did you come to Stormwind? I just heard that the draenei paladin came back and brought letters from Sarah and McDowell. I wanted to ask her about you, but I waited. When I arrived at the palace, she had already left with her brother. And you are still hiding here? I guess the intruder the guards are searching for is you? What's the matter?"

"Yes, that was a misunderstanding..." Ze Lin pursed his lips. "How did you find me?"

"Only you would wear such a strange armor, and you never change it." Altea patted Zelin's breastplate. "I saw a shadow coming in here by the side of the street just now. It looks like you, so I want to come over and take a look. Thank me, I pulled the guard away. I think if you don't come in through the main entrance, you must have encountered it. I can’t tell the guard about the trouble. Just like in the town of Nights, Sarah sent me a personal letter a few days ago. She said that you broke the chimney of the town council. As a result, the councillors can only blow cold wind these days. Have a meeting."

"Are you not afraid of being in danger?" Zelin shook his head. "It's best not to do this kind of thing in the future. If I didn't notice anything abnormal in Yese Town last time, I don't know what the end result will be."

Altea shuddered subconsciously at the thought of the feeling of the soul being locked in the fel crystal. That kind of pain is unforgettable forever.

"There are guards everywhere here. Father helped me get this pendant of Holy Light yesterday at the Holy Light Cathedral." Altea raised the pendant on her neck. The pendant looks like a diamond necklace, resting on the exposed chest of the low-cut dress. "If you encounter an attack, this pendant can form a shield. Although it is not like those powerful paladins, using the Holy Light shield to block various attacks, but it is enough for me to respond... ."

"Who is here?!"

Suddenly, a voice came from the direction of the street. Altea turned her head, and two patrol guards carrying oil lamps were approaching.

"Hidden," she whispered. "I'll deal with them, but you must tell me later what you are doing here."

"No problem"

Zelin did not hesitate. As the nobles of Stormwind, these guards would certainly not be embarrassed by Altea, and he believed that Altea would not betray him. He walked quickly behind a pile of wooden boxes, and he squatted down, letting the wooden boxes block his figure. Immediately afterwards, the shadows of the two guards appeared in front of the pond.

"I am Altea Eberlock." The voice of the future duchess was serious. "What's the matter with you, guard?"

"I'm sorry, ma'am. There is an intruder of unknown identity in Stormwind." The guards respected Altea's attitude. Unlike the nobles who enjoy life in the garden area, the guards respect these local leaders who lead the townspeople outside to fight against the monsters. "We were ordered to check the streets, why are you here?"

"I heard that there was a demon attack here." Altea turned around and looked around the pool. "So I want to come here and take a look at the scene in person. But I didn't see the intruders. There are many investigators here. You can ask them. I was summoned by His Royal Highness. I just arrived here shortly after the alarm sounded. I'm still in Stormwind Fortress. If you don't believe it, you can go to His Highness Anduin for confirmation."

"We trust you, ma'am." The guards looked around and found nothing unusual, they took a step back. "I hope you can return as soon as possible, madam. It is dangerous outside. If necessary, we can report to the captain, who will definitely send a guard to **** you home."

"Don't worry, soldier." Altea smiled and twisted her waist, revealing the weapon hanging around her waist. "I have used this sword to kill werewolves, mutant spiders, ogres, and battle with undead a month ago. If an intruder appears, I might be able to help you catch him."

The two guards smiled bitterly.

"You continue to patrol. My servant will come here to see me soon. I will leave when the time comes, and I won't cause you trouble."

The two guards once again confirmed that there was nothing unusual here, then turned and left. Maybe Deathwing didn't know how much unnecessary trouble it destroyed the garden area and saved Stormwind City. After the guards walked away, Altea looked at Zelin who came out.

"Can you tell me what you are planning to do?"

"I'm going to the palace to see Anduin, and it's better not to let other people know about it."

"Sneak into the palace?" Altea frowned. "Are you crazy? How many assassins in the world want to sneak into the palace, but so far no one has succeeded."

"There must be someone who succeeds for the first time."

The Duchess stretched out a finger and shook it. "That will definitely not be you. Actually, you don't have to be so troublesome to see Anduin. I can take you into the palace tomorrow. Anduin will call me again. His Royal Highness is very concerned about the situation in the Twilight Forest. For so many years, He is the second noble who cares about Nightlight Town. The first is my father. He should be a very good king. Of course, His Majesty Varian is also good, but His Majesty Varian always gives me some impression ...Too irritable."

"But I don’t just want to do this, Altea. I want to see Anduin tonight, and then leave for Booty Bay tomorrow. I have an appointment with someone and I must arrive at Booty Bay in the evening three days later. , So I can’t waste another day in Stormwind unless I can find a boat on the dock.”

It only takes one day and one night to get to Booty Bay by boat, but it takes three days and two nights to go on horseback. Zelin inquired that it would take a lot of time to travel through Stranglethorn Vale. If he fails, Tess will return directly to Stormwind to meet Anduin. This will definitely expose what the fake Shore will notice. As a last resort, Zelin didn't plan to let the uncrowned use a backup plan.

Altea sighed. "I thought it was so difficult. It doesn't matter, if it's just a ship, I can help you solve it."

"What?"

"What's so surprising about this?" Altea spread her hands out: "I am the future Duchess. Isn't it too much to have a private cruise in Stormwind?"

Chapter 2155: Night of Stormwind

"This is my servant Lloyd, Lloyd, give them the sword and let them check it."

In front of the checkpoint of the Long Canal Bridge in the Mage District and the Trade Zone, Altea's arms were stacked together, and she glanced at the man wearing a shirt and carrying a sack behind him. The latter lowered his head, placed the package on the ground, and took out a long sword from it.

"I just came back from the palace because of a little thing-I went to the old town to check the traces of the demon attack two months ago. There are two guards who can testify for me. They saw me at that time."

The guard inspected the package conscientiously. Inside the package was a piece of armor. The priest beside the guard inspected the armor, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, he returned the package to the man following Altea.

"Come in, sir."

The guard gave way. Altea walked ahead. The servant behind, carrying the package, bowed his head and walked in front of the soldier. The Mage District is located in the southwest corner of the city. Towers stand tall, separated by a canal from the church square and the trading area. Altea’s family villa is located on the outskirts of the wizard’s district, on the edge of the canal, opposite the church square, and on the side is the stairs leading to the port of Stormwind below.

Compared with other places, the number of patrolling soldiers in the wizard area is small, but this does not mean that this is the weakest place in Stormwind. Because the wizard area has a portal connected to the outside world, the defense force here has always been strong, many The battle mage for the alliance is stationed here, ready to use the portal to cast the magical power of Stormwind to all parts of the world.

"See the hillside entangled with vines? Last year, a vine monster from the world of Draenor followed the Kirin Tor mage to open the portal and slammed into Stormwind City. A world on the world line can be connected to our world through a portal. The wizards took a lot of effort to eliminate it completely. As a result, the portal and vines were left behind. At that time, the invaders of the other world were still in Stormwind City. Caused a lot of confusion."

While chatting with Zelin, Altea walked towards the villa.

Zelin looked at the villa getting closer and closer. The villa is paved with violet bricks, a total of two floors, made of white marble. The emerald green creeper covers the wall, and its leaves sway slightly with the sea breeze from the harbor. Outside there is a garden about the size of the villa, and a black barbed fence separates the garden from the street. Altea walked to the gate and took out a key to unlock the chain that locked the gate. "My father prayed at the Holy Light Cathedral today. He shouldn't be back tonight."

"Your father is a pastor?"

"No, he has studied magic and knows some spells, but he believes in the Holy Light. Come with me."

Pushing open the fence gate, Altea waved to Zelin. "You come to Stormwind, why don't you come to see me first?"

"This matter is a bit dangerous." Zelin looked around, and walked into the garden after making sure that there were no hidden figures in the streets nearby. "I am worried that it will cause unnecessary trouble."

Zelin didn't know if the fake Shaw would monitor here, he couldn't take this risk.

Now it seems that Fake Shaw may not have noticed this place. After all, after he arrived at MI7, the incident in Yese Town was over. At that time, he was still busy chasing and killing An Bo.

"You've been talking about something." Walking through the cobblestone path in the garden, Altea opened the door of the villa and lit the oil lamp at the door. "Come in, come in and tell me what's going on. Have you had dinner? I'll ask the servant to prepare some food."

"No, it's best not to let other people know that I've been here." Zelin walked into the villa, before closing the door, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the street outside the door.

There was only a slightly cold sea breeze outside.

Without seeing the suspicious figure, he sighed lightly and placed the armored package on the ground. Altea said that he could act as her servant so that she could safely take him to the house after being checked by the patrol guards. But it is obviously impossible for a servant to wear heavy armor, weapons, and crossbows. So Zelin found a thrown sack in the debris pile in the backyard of the hotel, took off the armor, and put it in with the weapon. Wearing only the inner lining, it is like an entourage helping the owner to carry his luggage.

"You look like you were still in the Twilight Forest." Altea chuckled lightly. "How is your business in Dalaran? Don't tell me, you want to see His Royal Highness Anduin for business. I appreciate your hard work, but it's not very etiquette."

"Why do you think so." Zelin sighed. "It's a very important thing, Altea, it's very important, but I can't tell you now, you will understand later. If someone asks if you have seen me, or have seen anyone from Dalaran, you Just say I don’t know anything."

Zelin didn't want to involve Altea in this matter. He can change his identity and enter the palace with Altea. But as long as Anduin is guarded, the fake Shore may be aware of it. At that time, if he can't attack Anduin, he will definitely investigate Altea.

"...Well, since you don't want to say it, I won't ask more, but I think you will definitely explain the reason to me in the future, right?"

"Yes, when this matter is over, I will tell you everything intact." Zelin paused. "I'm afraid I will really need to borrow your cruise ship to go to Booty Bay when that time comes. Will you go with me then?"

Altaiya was stunned for a moment, then pressed her cheek, turning her head slightly red.

"Don't you think this is too fast? You have to meet with my father at least, although he is very satisfied with you after hearing what you did, but..."

"I'm not kidding, Altea. Stormwind City is very dangerous now." Zelin said solemnly. "I'm not joking. This matter is very important and dangerous. It is more troublesome than what happened in Nightlight Town at the time."
