Chapter 330 Assassination Target
Six thousand gold coins for a regular ticket to Dalaran? Roland isn't stupid...
Besides, how could someone as greedy as him do such a thing?
Barbaras and the footman politely apologized to Master Yuvel, whose receding hairline was too obvious. Tall wizard hats weren't usually worn by all mages; typically, only the image of an evil witch with a broom was deeply ingrained in people's minds.
In Dalaran, most of the people there are gentle and refined scholars and professors.
A small number of highly skilled and physically imposing individuals also join the ranks of the Violet Guards, contributing to the defense of Dalaran. Dalaran has its own army, small in number but composed entirely of elite soldiers.
Both Lorraine and his apprentice had been to Dalaran, and he had fought against the so-called citizens of Dalaran, whose strength was generally average.
Even masters like Joseph the Glyph, who were once teachers of Eileen and Taylor, were only at the intermediate mage level.
Even before Lorraine's right eye had advanced to the intermediate necromancy rune level, he was able to kill Arugal, Duckclaw Thule, Joseph, Atalric, and others... Several of these individuals are now death knights under his control, making the citizenship of the small city of Dalaran truly insignificant.
Only the predecessor of Dalaran, the Council of Tirisfal, which originally protected the human and magical order of Azeroth, or even earlier, the Council of Magoklas, which consisted of the first 100 members who followed the elves to learn magic.
Only then could something possibly make our Barbaras and the footman's heart flutter even a little...
In fact, Lorraine and his apprentice had already completed Aegwynn's mission and met Master Merlin; they just hadn't immediately returned to Undercity to report back.
The moment Master Merlin presented the token to Lorraine, he had effectively become a member of the Council of New Tirisfal. In terms of seniority, Lorraine and his apprentice were practically ancestors of the Kirin Tor mages...
Even though Master Mordra and Aethas & the Sunreaver are not considered core members of the Council of Tirisfal now, they were only peripheral members in the past.
Because the original Kirin Tor were apprentices of the earliest human pioneers of the Council of Tirisfal...
A thousand years later, after suffering hardships and wars, the name of the Council of Tirisfal gradually faded from people's memories. The rise of Dalaran made the continent of Azeroth only remember the Kirin Tor mages who believed in wisdom.
Only the legendary mages within Dalaran, some hundreds of years old, know that they have long since lost the Key to Karazhan. The appearance of Atiesh, the Guardian's Staff, representing the ultimate power and status of mages, is why a large number of Kirin Tor mages remain in the Dalaran pits, searching for clues.
Yuvel's surprise attack wasn't just about stirring up trouble; it was also about carrying out Master Anslem's orders.
The entire Dalaran has flown to the Northrend continent, where the Nexus War is about to break out. The Blue Dragonflight is locked in battle with the guardians of the Red Dragon Queen at the Wyrmrest Temple. The Kirin Tor Grand Chancellors, including Lord Rhonin, still cannot allow the Blue Dragon King to imprison the Eye of Eternity.
Dalaran's main focus was on the Northrend, the Eastern Kingdoms, and Kalimdor, leaving the archmages with little time to attend to. Instead, they were making the most of the world portals connected by Khadgar, striving to gather forces from both the Horde and the Alliance to fight against the mad Blue Dragon Aspect and the Lich King's lurking minions...
Reports suggest that after the Lich King Arthas ascended the Frozen Throne, he didn't just sit there and act cool.
He and his men dug directly into the iceberg, building massive fortresses, more floating castles, and even excavating the ground, seemingly searching for some treasure, while simultaneously corrupting the local barbarians and various creatures...
The underground spider kingdom is beginning to emerge...
Roland's knowledge was far superior to that of the Mediterranean archmage Yuvel, so he was naturally not easily discouraged by a few words.
"Master Yuvel, farewell. I will not abandon my beliefs. I am unwilling to spend money to buy an empty title. I will prove with my conviction and strength that I deserve the honor and status I have earned... I will not sell my dignity, not even for 6000 gold coins, let alone 6 copper coins."
Master Yuvel was being very polite, but the bard seemed to be taking advantage of his kindness.
He scoffed, "Ungrateful."
He turned around and left with several more important guests.
Tyrande & Fordring and the Watcher followed him away. Before they left, several distinguished guests took one last, careful look at Rowling as they passed by. They seemed to have memorized his appearance.
A few unfamiliar monks in the entourage nodded politely; they seemed to admire Barbaras.
They weren't part of the Silver Covenant; they were merely assistants assigned to Yuvel by the Kirin Tor...
Because Master Yuvel disliked Rolin, this was all they could do.
With his two key targets gone from the banquet, Rowling felt a significant reduction in pressure. His original plan was to take advantage of the situation and eliminate the guests present, thus completing the Battle of Hillsbrad Foothills.
To everyone's surprise, among the guests attending the banquet, besides a large group of archmages brought by the Kirin Tor, there was also Countess Katarina of Stormwind and her royal guards.
With just this group of people, Luo Lin dared not give himself away.
It's an absolutely powerful setup that's like a BOSS and a whole bunch of elite monsters. Even if he were to directly control Lorraine's body and enter a 15-minute possession combat state right now, even a whole squad of 40 mages would probably suffer a terrible fate.
This is not Rolin's fault. He thought it was a small family banquet in the countryside, with at most a few ordinary nobles attending. He didn't expect that even the local bosses would come.
He could only refrain from eavesdropping on the alliance's secrets.
Major William's enthusiasm, the joyful crowd, and the lively atmosphere truly diluted much of Rowling's murderous aura. The master and apprentice almost forgot why they were there in the first place; this had been happening to them quite often lately...
They didn't know if it was a side effect of the Eye of Truth during the body switch, causing a confused state of soul splitting...
It happens from time to time...
Or perhaps, the plague seed that the little devil who was pulled back to Hell in Southsea Town mentioned this morning has truly been deeply planted in Lorraine's body... which is why these strange reactions and phenomena are occurring.
......
The plan had to be carried out, and the expected time had arrived; the banquet, which had lasted for more than two hours, was drawing to a close.
After seeing off the dangerous Master Yuvel and the Countess's group, I hope they go far enough and don't linger in Hillsbrad.
Fortunately, Rowling heard his servants mention to the mayor that Yuville had led his men back to the lakeside camp, and that the Countess's caravan had headed towards Southsea Town... He breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Next, the assassination target: Mayor Bourne!
Commoner Wilkes, clerk!
Mining foreman, blacksmith, tailor, farmer...
It seems like everyone is inside!
Wait, something's not right, there seems to be an extra group of people...
Luo Lin came to his senses and counted carefully; there was an extra group of people in the banquet hall.
"Go, drag that poop-puller over here. I want to punish his rudeness myself!"
