The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"Keldanath's laboratory is located near Faronaar." The teleportation technician stopped, and he turned to look at Zelin. The shoulders drooped with a sigh, and the rickety body looked tired: "Oh, I will walk to Shal'airan. Your body looks very strong. Please rush to Faronaar as soon as possible to warn Kyle Danner. S. Then, I will meet you in Sha'ailan."

The technician's eyes were muddy and loose, he blinked vigorously, rubbing the corners of his eyes.

"You consume too much magic power."

"It would be great if you could help me collect some ancient magic crystals on the road." Ocules rubbed his hands. "Although that thing is not as good as magic wine, it can also warm my whole body. There should be near the laboratory of Kel'Danas, there is an abandoned magic net node there. The magic net under Suramar contains powerful The power and magic power will even penetrate the surface in the form of crystals. When you see those light blue crystals, help me gather some back."

"I'm ready, Okules." Zelin lowered his head, and after rummaging in the package, he took out a handkerchief. Open the handkerchief, revealing the four crystalized ancient magic powers wrapped in it. "Talissa's situation is no better than you, so I prepared some in advance. These crystallized magic powers should help you get to Shaar'airan. There are more crystalized magical powers, enough to help you and Talissa Avoid the addiction. Oh, yes, there is also a blood elf there, uh, Sin'dorei, a descendant of the ancient high elf. She is my friend."

"Great, great." Okules smiled and took over the magic of crystallization, took out one of them, put it in his mouth, and swallowed hard. He closed his eyes tightly, as if he had eaten a bite of a fly. After a few seconds, he opened his eyes and let out a long sigh. Looking at Zelin's surprised eyes, Ocules raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter?"

"I thought you would hold it in your mouth." Zelin recalled how Talissa looked when she ate magic power. When she was thinking or resting, she would hold a large magic crystal and lick it until the crystal melted and disappeared. "Just a little surprised."

"I prefer the feeling that the magic power fills the whole body instantly." Ocules straightened his chest, moved his shoulders, and said lightly: "I feel better, see you later, outsider. If you don't find Keldan in Falnar Nas, you can come back. That area is very dangerous. If he is not there, he will probably go to Val'sharah to find Kaldorei."

"I understand."

After using the crystallization magic power, Okules walked along the mountain road in the direction of Sar'eland, and Zelin followed the stream, all the way to the west. Fanaar was built on the edge of the stream. It is said that it was originally a giant underground demon. Net node, but after the node was abandoned, an explosion completely destroyed the entire underground building and left a deep pit on the ground. Thousands of square meters of ground collapsed, but what was exposed was not only the abandoned underground temples in the past, but also the mutant monsters that were breeding in the temples. According to Ocules, the researchers of the Night Sons have conducted research on these monsters, but they have not drawn many conclusions. The only certainty is that those monsters with spider-like appearances are just like them, and they continue to suck. Magic.

Kel'Danas has been studying the way to absorb magic power, including the dependence of the Withered and the Nightborne on magic power, so he set up his laboratory near Flanar.

Compared with the laboratory hidden in the Fengfeng Peak, the experimental site of Kel'Danas was much more empty. The scattered stone halls are located on the ground covered with golden leaves on the side of the stream. A few maple trees can't hide the outline of the laboratory complex at all. Standing on a soil **** and looking down, Kel'Danas' laboratory is located under the soil slope. To the west of the laboratory, a huge collapsed area in the night is shrouded in shadows, on the ground like a predator hidden underground, opening a blood basin and waiting for the unlucky prey to fall into the trap.

The laboratory area, including a group of buildings such as laboratories, residences, and warehouses, is on the edge of the collapsed area.

Standing on the soil slope, Ze Lin supported the maple tree next to him and looked to the left. In the distance, the soaring fel spire shone with an unknown dark green in the dark night. It was not too far from the Evil Soul Fortress, and he could almost see the black spots flying in the sky, which were all fel bats in groups. It was not far from the Evil Soul Fortress. Zelin stood on the soil **** and observed the situation below. After making sure that there was no demon nearby, he walked out of the tree and walked towards the laboratory.

Most of the buildings in Flannel are still intact, covered with dust and dead leaves, and in the overgrown courtyard, a cobblestone path spreads into the building complex.

Suddenly, the demon hunter stopped.

After approaching, he noticed that there were withered people wandering around the laboratory, with pale fluorescent eyes swaying in the night. Among the many small, rickety withered figures, a giant figure over five meters tall is particularly eye-catching. The tall ogre carried a wooden stick close to three meters in length, and an adult-sized rock was tied to the top of the stick. Every step it took, the ground seemed to vibrate.

Zelin squatted down, observing the ogre in the distance. The ogre was facing him, his small eyes were hard to detect in the dark, but this made the demon hunter breathe a sigh of relief. After arriving in Azeroth for so long, he had seen many creatures infected by fel energy, and most of those creatures revealed the characteristics of fel fire or scarlet in their bodies and eyes. This seemed to be just a wild ogre, the Burning Legion had not dispatched spies to this place.

If the demons think that the battle happening here is just the leader of the Nightborne chasing traitors, they probably won't pay attention to hunting Shaw here. Zelin didn't know if Shaw had returned to Stormwind to deal with the Dreadlord hiding in MI7. It is impossible to hide this matter for too long. When such tension is so intense, anything unusual may cause the Burning Legion's suspicion.

When the ogre turned his back to the demon hunter, Zelin controlled his footsteps, bent over, and went from one rock to the back of another stone pavilion. There are wandering withered in the courtyard. He can't conflict with these withered ones, and once they fight, they will definitely attract the attention of the ogres. Being so close to the Evil Soul Fortress, he didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble.

Take out a crystal of magic power. The moment the magic left the package, he heard a hoarse roar immediately around him. Standing up, his arms rounded round, Zelin threw the crystalization magic power with all his strength. The magic stone flew across the courtyard and drew an arc in mid-air. The restless withered people in the courtyard stared at the spar flying overhead, their eyes moved neatly along the path the spar flew over, and finally the spar fell on the corner of the other end of the courtyard and rolled twice. Hit the wall before stopping.

The next moment, countless pairs of fluorescent eyes pounced on the spar. The startled ogre turned around, looked at the withered man who suddenly rioted in confusion, and scratched his cheek. Behind him, Zelin took the opportunity to walk through the courtyard and enter the laboratory building that was obviously inhabited. Compared with other buildings, only that building has no leaves, dust, or withered people around it.

The withered people behind them were still vying for the crystallized magic power. The ogre stood aside and looked at them, his low-intelligence head seemed a little hard to understand what was happening before him. After bypassing the arch, Zelin glanced at the chaos outside for the last time, regained his gaze, and prepared to walk into the laboratory.

Suddenly, the sound of wind in his ear made him raise the sword subconsciously.

"Uh-!"

The withered person who threw out in the shadow opened his arms and bent his fingers into claws, trying to pounce on the demon hunter, and the saliva flowed to the corners of the mouth between the sharp teeth exposed by the split mouth. The withered man’s chest is less than a finger away from the ebony blade. It slowly closes its mouth, tightening its teeth, as if exhausting all its strength, retracting the outstretched claws, as if a soul is competing for the body with another soul. .

Zelin narrowed his eyes slightly and watched the withered man in front of him take two steps stiffly, pulling away from him.

"Are you okay?" he asked tentatively.

"I... can hold on." Its voice seemed to be squeezed from its chest: "You, it's dangerous to come here..."

Chapter 2203: Kyle Dannas

"Who are you?" Zelin looked at the Withered Man who hadn't lost his mind in front of him, but his state was worse than that of Talissa and Ocules. "Outsider, you...you chose a wrong time to come to Suramar."

"You are Kael Danus, aren't you?" Zelin asked his question directly. Next to it is the castle of the devil, with withered people everywhere outside, and giant ogres. He didn't want to waste another second in such a dangerous place: "Arcaneist Kael Danus?"

"Do you know me?" The Withered Man raised his head, wrinkles on his forehead. "I, have I seen you before? I, please forgive me." He held his forehead, closed his eyes in pain, leaned on the wall, and walked towards the inside of the laboratory: "I haven't drink magic power for a long time. The ogre outside There are too many withered people, and the mana reserves were used up a few days ago. Mine, I believe my current memory is full of holes, big enough to allow a mana construct to pass through. You... ."

He sat on a stone chair and raised his left eyelid.

"...Have I asked you to do anything before, outsider? Elisand, it is impossible for Elisand to appoint an outsider."

"It was Chief Teleportation Technician Oculus who sent me to find you." Zelin put his hand on the package around his waist: "The Chief Arcanist Talissa escaped. She hopes to gather helpers and allies."

"Talissa? She, she failed? Is she still alive?" Kyle Dannas stood up abruptly, then sat back heavily with his forehead. "I... I may not be able to hold it anymore. You must, take my diary, which contains my research records, and this, mine..." He touched his waist, his face Showing a confused look. "...Where is my wand?"

"Is that the one?" Zelin pointed to a short stick hanging on the wall, with a dim gem at the end of the stick.

"Uh? Ah, yes, that's it." Kyle Dannas wiped the drops of sweat from his forehead, and it kept sweating. "Talissa came in time, otherwise I am really worried that my research results will disappear in the wilderness. As for the use of the wand..." He stood up and walked to the stone table. There was only one on the empty stone pile. Heavy brown leather notebook. "This is the result and process of my experiment over the past forty days, all...Uh, Ah Hee!"

Kyle Danus sneezed heavily, his thin body wrapped in a large robe.

"Are you hurt?"

"No, outsider, you...I didn't see your pointed ears. You don't need magic? But you are not Sin'dorei. I, I haven't drunk magic wine for almost half a month." The corners of the mouth are dry and cracked, like a traveler lost in the desert. "Just now, I didn't know what was going on. I wanted to rush out like crazy. Fortunately, I didn't hurt you. Hurry up and leave. There is an ogre here. My protective enchantment can be used for the time being. The ogres and the withered are far away from the laboratory, but, but..."

His voice became smaller and smaller, his head drooped a little, his eyelids gradually closed. When he was about to close his eyes, he drew in another breath, suddenly raised his head, his forehead was covered with big drops of sweat, as if he was frightened, his breathing was heavy, and he was gasping for breath.

After a few seconds, Kyle Dannas recovered, he sighed and shook his head.

"Ah, I... Sorry, I'm a little sleepy."

"I don't like to help people find corpses back, Kyle Danus." Zelin held the package with one hand and put the other hand in front of him. "I brought some crystalization magic power, hidden in it, it should be enough to support you to walk..."

"Magic!"

Kel'danath's arm stretched out like lightning, and he leaped towards the leather bag on the waist of the demon hunter. But the fingers froze in the air less than **** wide from the bag. Zelin moved faster, and his hands held the arcanist's wrists tightly like iron tongs.

The arcanist's fingers kept scratching like spider legs, trying to open the package, only the desire for magic power remained in his eyes. Zelin slid forward, hitting Kel'danus with his shoulder, and slamming his wrist forward. The arcanist lost his balance and staggered back a few steps before sitting back on the stone chair.

"Wake up, can you still control yourself?" Zelin lowered his voice: "I give you the magic here. Do you want to attract all the withered people outside?!"

"Oh... I'm sorry, I was a little bit earlier, I just, uh, I don't know, I..." Kyle Danus lowered his head and cupped his face in both hands. After taking a few deep breaths, he resumed his previous appearance: "Then, then we should set off? Wait, let me clean up, maybe the experiment here can help Talissa."

"Hurry up, I'll be waiting for you here." Zelin glanced at the door, and the ogre walking outside the door was just close to the laboratory, so he immediately hid behind the doorpost. "Do you have another way here? If we can, we'd better avoid this ogre."

Zelin thought he could deal with ogres, but he didn't want to create unnecessary chaos. Near the demon fortress, he had better be cautious. He can't hope that the premise of safety and the devil's spy are a bunch of blind men.

"No problem, I have very few things here." Kyle Danus put the notebook in the package, then took off the wand hung on the wall, and walked into the laboratory: "If we want to avoid the ogres, we You have to walk through the collapsed area of ​​Falanaar. It may be more dangerous than the ogres, and there are mutated spider monsters everywhere. Can you tell the ogres away? This **** monster has been blocking my laboratory. In front of the gate, I haven't left for a long time..."

"But it stays outside all the time?"

"I said, it is my magic. Maintaining the magic to dispel them consumes a lot of my magic power. Oh... we should go now, listen to me, follow, follow me, slowly... "

"Who are you talking to?"

"You can call it number 16." Kyle Danus raised his wand and slowly backed away like an animal trainer in a circus. In the shadow inside the laboratory, a quiet withered man walked out. Following the shimmer of the wand, the withered man followed the arcanist staggeringly: "It may have a clue to reverse the transformation of the withered man, can we go now? I can't help it!"

"Of course, let's go..." Zelin walked to the door. The next moment, he took a step back, frowning. "Wait, Kael Danus, your magic... do you still have magic power to maintain?"

Outside the door, the ogre strode towards the laboratory, the small eyes on the big head staring at the arch of the laboratory, with a clear goal.
