Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 348 57. Unlucky Arcanist

Suramar City, in the Chief Arcanist's estate.

Talyssar, wearing the ornate robes of the Suramar Arcanist, is putting the final touches on the opening of the portal.

The chief arcanist was filled with anger, especially every time she saw her once cozy but now ruined manor.

Although it has been several days since the incident of being robbed by pirates, Talisa has used official power to prevent this shameful story from spreading, but the story about "the story of pirates and Ms. Talisa" is still in the past few days. Today, it has become the latest gossip among the various districts of Suramar City.

In the increasingly outrageous rumors, someone has already put what happened to the Yuejun sisters, Zhang Guanli, on the chief arcanist.

The majority of Suramar citizens who have nothing to do are still spreading the story, adding some artistic "creation".

"Gee, my dear Talisa, you don't even know how those people are programming you right now.

I was at a dinner party last night in the rich neighborhood and heard a horrible tidbit. The servants of the Astava family chatted privately, saying that when the crazy foreign pirates ransacked the Arcanist's manor, they captured you alive.

They also said that those pirates originally planned to take you to the continent on the other side of the endless sea, and sacrifice you as a slave to their emperor.

The group of bored nobles also spread the news wildly at each other's banquets.

They also slandered and said, in order to keep your reputation, you humblely begged for the mercy of the pirates, and finally took out all your property and bribed the greedy pirates to escape. "

Another high-level arcanist, who was wearing a gorgeous arcanist robe, was thinner, a little shorter than Talisa, and always spoke with a hint of sarcasm, was leaning on the bench behind Talisa .

While tasting the magic wine, she recited the urban rumors she had collected.

She must have a good personal relationship with Talisa, otherwise it would be impossible to speak in such a frivolous tone in front of the Chief Arcanist.

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Talisa, who put a magic gem into the portal that was about to be activated, and there was no obvious emotional fluctuation on the cheek under the hood.

"The nobles in the rich district like to spread these silly rumors, and in the past few thousand years, I have become accustomed to their shamelessness.

My dear Valtrois, if you are in the mood to think about silly jokes there, why not use your excellent sense of the magic web to help me calibrate this raid portal. "

Talisa said helplessly to her bad friend:

"I applied to Ms. Elisande for this troop of magic swordsmen to be the vanguard. To eradicate those dirty pirates at once, we must ensure the absolute accuracy of the landing point."

"Don't worry, I've collected quite a few rumors about you here, wait for me to read them to you."

Arcanist Valtrois flipped through the letter in his hand and said enthusiastically:

"Let's ignore the idle games of those nobles, and just talk about the citizens of Yongyue civilian area. I really didn't expect that they are busy with their daily lives, and they are in the mood to pay attention to gossip about you.

The rumors over there are even more outrageous and exaggerated.

There are also people secretly spreading vicious rumors to slander your reputation. Those rats said that you were not only captured by pirates that night, but also experienced dirty and terrible abuse by pirates.

They added a shameful sensuality to this matter, and those details were vividly described.

He also said that you were tortured for several days as the personal plaything of the pirate captain before you found a chance to escape from the pirate ship. This is just the most widely circulated rumor, there are other versions.

The most outrageous one is that someone swears that the one in the manor is just a substitute found by a great magister to stabilize people's hearts.

It is said that the real chief arcanist Talisa had already been humiliated and killed on the night the pirates plundered. "

Having said that, Valtrois blinked and said to Talisa:

"Look, you can always trust the enthusiasm of the people in watching the show and spreading rumors. And there are people who are fishing in troubled waters. It is obvious that your political opponents in the city are using this incident to humiliate you and hit you. prestige.

It seems that many people are watching your position as the 'Chief Arcanist'.

You are not very popular, my friend. "

"I don't want to hear this, and I'm not in the mood to discuss it."

Talisa responded with a cold face:

"I just want to bring back the pirates who humiliated me.

These sad rumors will be self-defeating when the pirate leader named "Blaike Shaw" is bound naked in the square in the center of the city as a prisoner.

Those unspeakable conspiracies against me will also be cleaned up by a clean revenge.

Valtrois, I have come to you to help!

Are you going to sit there and gossip dirty stories about me, or come and help me hunt down the pirates who humiliated me and all of Suramar? "

"Oh, don't be angry, Talisa. You and I are only good at fighting and studying magic theory, my dear friend. You should find more professional people to deal with such delicate things as portals.

For example, the famous 'Teleportation Master' Oculus in the city. "

The arcanist named Valtrois sat up from the bench, and she pulled her hood outward, revealing her white hair tied into a ponytail, which is also one of the characteristics of the Nightborne.

Probably due to the influence of magic addiction, they have snow-white long hair and white eyebrows regardless of gender.

This high-ranking arcanist with a bad personality stretched out on the chair, exposing her elegant and slender waistline. She said to the chief arcanist without interest:

"Did you not find him?

Although he has some complaints about the rule of the great magister, he always spreads some terrible remarks, and his personality is notoriously eccentric, but his attainments in teleportation are indeed worthy of learning by all arcanists.

Moreover, I heard that you have a good relationship with him in private? "

"I invited him."

Talisa took out her pocket watch to check the time, and said to Valtrois:

"But he was almost twenty minutes late, and he should be doing his weird research again. He has been trying to activate the nodes of the magic aqueduct outside the city.

It's just that the nodes that he personally arranged were abandoned thousands of years ago. I have never been able to understand, what is our chief teleportation master trying to do? "

"I know."

Valtrois covered his mouth with a chuckle.

She looked around, stood up, walked to Talisa, and whispered in her ear:

"The eccentric 'Master of Teleportation' was trying to quietly open a node of the magic drain in the Nighthold sewers, near the bottom of the Nightwell.

You know, as long as you can get there, you can get endless raw magic power! It only needs a little processing, and it can be used by thousands of people for a long time.

I also heard that Ocules seems to be very close to the 'rebels' in the city.

That old fellow is trying to stage a rebellion against the Grand Magister!

Stop acting in front of me, my friend. You must be involved in Ocules' terrible plan! You can't hide it from me! "

"Don't talk nonsense! I am extremely loyal to Ms. Elisande!"

The chief arcanist was startled, and hurriedly reached out to cover Valtrois' mouth, but the latter deftly dodged it.

This high-level arcanist with a bad personality crossed his hips and said to his friend while waving his hands:

"What are you afraid of? Are you still worried that I will inform the Grand Magister? My Talisa, although you have shown your loyalty to the Grand Magister, but no one in the Nighthold knows that you have always been a 'civilian sympathizer' .

After the death of Mr. Yuejun, the city guards have been trying to catch the 'rebels' in the city. Those guards are a group of mediocre people, but Suramar is so big, they won't be busy for several years without getting anything.

There must be someone from the upper echelons helping the 'rebels' to cover up the news.

That person is you!

And before Mr. Yuejun died, you had a very deep personal friendship with him. I heard that it was the recommendation of the Yuejun family that gave you the title of "Consultant" of the Grand Magister. "

Valtrois laughed a few times in a strange tone. She looked at the nervous Talisa, and waved her hand to pick up a crystal ball from the side to help Talisa calculate the coordinates when the portal opened.

And said:

"Don't worry, although I'm not interested in the 'rebels' and their careers, I also have no idea of ​​using my good friend's life as a step forward.

I'm just reminding you, Talisa.

The Grand Magister has decided to open Suramar and reintegrate the entire Nightborne into the world. The biggest change in the city of Suramar in 10,000 years is about to come.

At this juncture, you'd better keep a low profile and suppress your sympathy that has nowhere to rest.

Without your protection, those 'rebels' might be suppressed, at least they wouldn't die.

But if you're caught and denounced as a traitor to the Grand Magister, it's up to Ocules to get you out of the exile's prison in the Corridor.

Don't expect me to help then.

You know me.

I've always been a very selfish person, so I wouldn't do such useless things.

There is no problem with the coordinates, and the magic beacon has been arranged.

Get ready to pounce. "

The thin and slender high-level arcanist Valtrois held the gorgeous magic wand at his waist with great interest, and seemed to be ready to rush through the portal and kill all directions on the pirate ship.

Talisa was a little confused. She knew that her bad friend Valtroy was a very keen spellcaster, although he occasionally spoke inappropriately.

She must have sensed some danger, so she took this opportunity to come and remind her.

In addition, about Valtrois saying that he is a selfish guy, just listen to it. She and Talisa have known each other for hundreds of years, and the chief arcanist knows that his friend is arrogant.

If she was really in trouble, Valtrois would definitely be the first to come to save her. Although she was arrogant and difficult to get along with, she was indeed a trustworthy friend.

"Magic swordsmen! Prepare to cross the portal! Perform a surprise attack!"

The chief arcanist took a moment to gather his thoughts, then raised his gorgeous crystal staff, and shouted to the elite magic swordsmen waiting in the manor:

"The pirates who brought dishonor to Suramar are on the ship just across the portal. They attacked our city and took our valued people. They brought us dishonor.

This is a disgrace that must be washed away with blood!

We must defeat them, capture their leader, and bring them back to Suramar for trial! Follow me closely. Valtrois, open the portal! "

"As you order, Your Excellency the Chief Arcanist."

The high-level arcanist with a bad personality gave a short laugh, turned around and used professional techniques to activate the magic net extending from the Nightwell, deftly guiding the magic power to the portal.

A blue-purple spot of light immediately danced in the circular portal reinforced with magic metal, and quickly surrounded it to form a rotating teleportation light curtain.

"Don't open it! There is a problem with the landing point you calculated, it is the coordinates leading to the abyss!"

While Valtrois was casting the spell, the third friend Talisa invited came late, and the chief teleporter Oculus, who wore a strange robe, appeared in Talisa's manor with teleportation.

The teleportation-experienced spellcaster just glanced at the portal that was about to be opened, and tried to stop it in shock.

Talisa will turn around here and explain to her friend:

"That's right, my friend. It's a ghost ship. According to Lilith, it can dive into the deep sea and sail. We're going there to catch them by surprise.

It's the perfect plan. "

"No! You idiot!"

Seeing that the portal had opened, the old elf grabbed Talisa's hand, activated the teleportation technique, and brought her to the highest roof of the manor. He yelled:

"I didn't say there was a problem with your calculations, I meant that you were tricked by those pirates"

"crash"

As soon as the chief teleporter finished speaking, icy seawater gushed out from the opened portal, just like the tide was rolling, and the icy seawater gushed out.

In just an instant, the magic swordsmen in the manor and this miserable manor were completely submerged, and several sharks were even washed out along the current, biting people everywhere in the manor that had become a country.

"The pirates threw the enchanted silver coin you used to locate it into the trench."

Chief teleporter Oculus shook his head, and glanced at the high-level arcanist Valtrois who had stood up from the water and was screaming like a drowned rat.

The old elf looked at Talisa beside him, and said:

"Look, it turns out that these pirates are not easy to deal with.

Put away your arrogance and carelessness, Talisa, if you continue to pursue them with this mentality, you will only reap more tragic failures, but put them aside for now.

I have brought more important news. You, me, and Mademoiselle Valtroy have all been recruited and will soon go out with the army. "

"Expedition?"

The chief arcanist froze for a moment, and asked back:

"Where are you going to attack? Who is the enemy?"

The old elf sighed and said in a low voice:

"The target is Watch Island in Azsuna."

"As for the enemies...the legendary moonwalkers, the fearsome watchers."
