Dragon Wizard of the Heavens

Chapter 581: The Shadow of Lordaeron (3)

Just when everyone was celebrating Terenas having obtained a rare treasure, the crystal named the Eye of Lordaeron shone with brilliance.

The power of darkness hides in the shadows of this bustling city, and then quietly spreads to the entire city.

The next day, the whole of Lordaeron knew about it. At yesterday's banquet, a lucky man was conferred by the king himself and became a baron. Lawrence became the topic of conversation in the streets and alleys during this period, and more people paid attention to it. The mysterious crystal known as the Eye of Lordaeron. It is said that everyone who has seen this crystal praises it. It is called a beautiful gem in the whole of Azeroth. Of course, this is just what Lordaeron said.

And amidst the turbulent discussions of these people, some strange things began to appear in the shadows of the city.

Lordaeron, the sewers.

As a city with a long history, Lordaeron has a huge and complex sewer system. At the beginning of the construction of the city, the sewers here began to be built together. It is said that the design of this city also borrowed from the city of the high elves.

Every city has dark corners. The rats in the city hide in these dark corners. The sewer is just one of the places. As a dirty place in the city, the smell inside is unbearable. Naturally, few people go to check it. , and only every once in a while, someone will go to the sewer to clear it.

Because of this, this place has become a hotbed of various crimes and smuggling. Almost every day, corpses are thrown into the sewers and then washed away by sewage, and some smugglers will also transport various prohibited items in these sewers. A huge invisible interest network has been formed around here.

However, there have been some problems in this benefit network during this period. Some monsters appeared in the sewers, and a smuggling team transporting prohibited items disappeared. You can't ask the official for help, or ask the paladins for help, you can only solve it yourself.

A team of well-equipped armed teams entered the sewer. The purpose of these people was to find all kinds of goods and eliminate the monsters that appeared. This kind of work was already familiar to them. There will be some monsters, some wandering wild monsters inadvertently entered, and some are wild beast mutations. So although these people were vigilant, they didn't pay too much attention to it.

Sean walked cautiously in the dirty sewers. As a thief, he has been trained in various environments, and he has also experienced harsher environments than here, but the rancid smell in the sewers still made him unbearable. All kinds of rubbish floated on the muddy sewage, and sometimes there were some highly decomposed carcasses of wild dogs and cats, and a few huge mice flew past. Sean frowned. Although he had undergone rigorous training, this environment was still disgusting from the bottom of his heart.

Whoosh!

At this moment, a sudden change occurred!

A black mass suddenly jumped out of the darkness, and a pair of scarlet eyes made people feel terrified from the bottom of their hearts. The black shadow rushed towards Sean like lightning!

"Whoosh whoosh!"

A crossbow sounded lightly, and three sharp arrows glowing with cold light shot at the black shadow one after another, and the black shadow that rushed over was directly nailed to the ground by the arrows. Only then did Sean see clearly what that black shadow was.

This is a wild dog, but it is different from normal wild dogs. The fur on this wild dog is falling off in pieces, and many parts of the exposed skin have been rotted, exuding a stench, and the teeth are obviously bigger than ordinary wild dogs. More than one, his eyes were red, and there was cloudy mucus hanging from his jaw. He looked very sick, and dark red blood slowly flowed out from under his body.

"What happened to Xiao En?" There was a sound of footsteps not far away, and several other team members came over.

"It's okay, I met a mutant wild dog, and it has been dealt with!" said after re-stringing the hand crossbow.

"Everyone, be careful, there is something wrong with this wild dog." A soldier picked at the corpse of the mutant wild dog with a long sword in his hand and said.

"This wild dog is probably infected with the plague!"

"Plague?" Several people around were also shocked,

looked over.

"Look at its eyes and sticky saliva, these are not mutants!" said the soldier, pointing to the corpse of the mutant wild dog.

"Sure enough!" Everyone looked at each other and it was true.

The plague is still terrible for ordinary people, with a high mortality rate, but the threat to professionals is limited, and their strong bodies can be immune to many diseases.

"Burn it!" said a man who looked like a captain, and then, another soldier went out and poured a bottle of spirits on it, and then ignited it with a torch, instantly filled with the stench of burnt protein, Several people continued to walk deep into the sewer without stopping.

In the sewer, in a remote passageway, a few figures with stiff bodies were walking around at will. They had no weapons, and their clothes were tattered. Many places were still rotting, and they looked like corpses.

 …

"Who?"

In the dark shadows, Xiao En immediately became alert after noticing the movement in the passage, and the stringed crossbow was already pointing at the black figure not far away.

There were slight footsteps in the passage. Immediately afterwards, a familiar face appeared in front of Sean, and after seeing the other person's appearance clearly, Sean looked a little relaxed, but he still did not put down the hand crossbow, and said slowly: "Alex, where are the rest of your team? What happened to you, what about the goods you delivered?"

Seeing the members of the delivery team who were officially missing last time, Xiao En quickly asked, and at the same time, he became vigilant. Smuggling is usually a huge profit. It's not that it didn't happen, now that he met the missing team member, he couldn't help but think of something.

The member of the smuggling team named Alex in front did not speak, but walked over slowly.

"why do not you talk?"

"Stop! Or I'm going to attack!" Xiao En suddenly sensed something was wrong, his fingers were already on the bracket of the hand crossbow, as long as he gently pulled it, the three steel swords would shoot instantly, his opponent The hand crossbow in the middle is very confident. This is something he specially ordered from the dwarf master. It is very powerful, and it can be easily shot through even fine iron armor at such a short distance.

"Roar!" The man named Alex finally said a word.

Then it turned into an afterimage and flew over in an instant. Without even thinking about it, Sean pulled the trigger directly, only to hear three sharp arrows piercing the air, and then firmly plunged into the rushing figure. The movement caused Sombra's movement to have an obvious pause, but then Sombra continued to pounce.

Sean was shocked. He knew the power of the hand crossbow very well. If all three arrows were hit at such a short distance, even if he was wearing armor, he definitely had no chance of surviving. And the black shadow in front of him seemed to have no effect except for a pause.

The black shadow rushed out from the dark passage, and with the light of the torch, Sean clearly saw the figure of 'Alex', no, he should not be Alex anymore, this is a body that has begun to rot The body, on the chest of 'Alex', has three crossbow bolts made of fine steel.

"You're not Alex, who are you!" Seeing this scene, Sean's face changed drastically.

But at this time, there was a sound of messy footsteps behind him, and several other members of the team also came here. Seeing this situation, everyone directly attacked in a tacit understanding, and soon Alex He was beheaded, and the body was even chopped into several pieces.

But before they could breathe a sigh of relief, a figure kept coming out of the surrounding passages. After seeing the crowd, these figures rushed up, and some rotting crawling monsters were mixed in among them. It looked like a human being, but with ferocious claws, protruding canine teeth, and quick movements, one by one rushed towards the team without fear of death. Only then did everyone in the team realize that they were surrounded...

The things in the sewers were not noticed by others, and Lordaeron still looked very peaceful, only in some dark corners would some crimes happen. However, some strange things happened in the cemetery outside the city. Many buried corpses were stolen. Naturally, such vicious incidents had to be investigated, so a team of paladins was sent to investigate.

It’s just that before their investigation was completed, corpses were also stolen from other cemeteries. Some witnesses claimed that these corpses crawled out of the grave by themselves, but their words did not attract the attention of those in power, and even regarded these as After-dinner jokes. But soon they stopped laughing.

The paladins discovered some revived corpses. The revived corpses were unconscious and fearless, and there were many of them. What was even more frightening was that after being killed by these corpses, the corpses would soon be revived again. The resurrection of dead bodies has caused panic among the people.

The issue of the resurrection of the dead also alarmed the Dragon God Church. More than half of the power of faith was provided by humans. They obviously increased their attention to this incident, and teams of guardian knights also began to dispatch. Apologist knights are very similar to paladins. Apologist knights use divine power, while paladins use holy light. Unlike the power of paladins, apologist knights rely on pious beliefs, while paladins rely on spiritual power. Power, the holy light of this world, is more like a kind of spiritual power.

When they are firm in their hearts and firmly believe that their path is correct, the Holy Light will become stronger and stronger. If their hearts are shaken, the Holy Light will immediately weaken. Human paladins believe in the Holy Light, so they can Use the power of Holy Light.

Holy Light is fooling you! This is not just a lie!
