Journey to Azeroth

Chapter 83 Violet Castle

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Carl stared at the fireplace in a daze.

At this time, Karl and Ruthia had left Desai's house and returned to No. 12 Lily Street.

Ruthya came over and handed a cup of black tea to Carl. Carl took it mechanically, took a sip, and found that the black tea had too much sugar added and it was too sweet. "Wait, black tea?"

"In the afternoon, an employee who claimed to be from the Golden Indus Chamber of Commerce delivered it," Lusya sat on the sofa on the other side, and continued, "There are also some kitchen utensils and tableware and two quilts."

"I bought it for the dinner party next week," Carl sighed. The sudden situation disrupted his plan. He planned to invite a few friends from Sword of Dawn to come over next week, and by the way, discuss finding the way to rescue Ruthia's disappearance. Sister Lisa.

"Go to bed early." Putting the black tea aside, Carl made a gesture to leave, but was stopped by Lusya.

Ruthia then told the story of an old thief.

A thief named Jerry lived in the city of Alterac. In order to live in the city, he became a thief who was spurned by others and walked in the shadows.

By chance, Jerry got to know a nobleman named Aiden Perenold, and under the arrangement of the nobleman, he completed one dangerous mission after another and helped him eliminate countless enemies.

Jerry's reputation grew, and the nobles began to fear him, search for him, and assassinate him. From then on, he had to face the search of the army, the pursuit of mercenaries and the pursuit of killers.

Years of fugitive life made him physically and mentally exhausted. When he asked the nobleman Aiden Perenold who hired him to retire, he did not expect the nobleman to easily agree to him.

The ease surprised Jerry. Jerry had done many tasks for Aiden, and naturally knew his countless secrets. Unexpectedly, Aiden didn't care about these at all, and gave him a scroll that could save his life at a critical moment and let him go. Leave and start a new life.

However, an accident occurred. The nobles did not know where to trace the information of Jerry's family members, arrested his family members, and executed them in the largest square in Alterac City.

There were huge crowds of people on the day of the execution, and nearly half of the nobles in the Kingdom of Alterac arrived at the scene. The nobles vowed to force Jerry to show up.

The nobles succeeded, and Jerry did come to the scene. He couldn't help but watch his wife and a pair of children be executed, but he lived alone.

At a critical moment, he thought of the life-saving scroll that Aiden gave him. When he used the scroll, there was a loud bang from the square, and bombs exploded in the square one after another. The huge explosion destroyed the whole square, everywhere. All human corpses, his family and the nobles who hunted him were killed in the explosion.

The disheartened Jerry left Alterac, but was hunted down by the killer sent by Aiden. The skilled Jerry broke out of the siege and left Alterac.

"so?"

"Carl, the water from the Sunwell is not a wise choice."

The light from the candle shone on Ruthya's face, her face showed deep worry, she grabbed his hand to stop her, and whispered like a mosquito: "I don't want you to die!"

"Dead?" Carl smiled, "Don't talk nonsense, I am healthy now, I have spring water, and I can live a normal life."

"Don't count on those nobles and kings, if they have enough interests, they can abandon any of their subordinates at any time," Lusya's voice was a little hoarse, and then said: "You think those nobles are elegant and noble, but they are just what they show to others Forget it, when they feel that you are worthless, they will ruthlessly abandon you."

Carl held Lusya's hands back, Lusya struggled symbolically, and gave up, letting Carl grab her hand, her face flushed slightly.

Karl sat up, looked at Luthia, and said with a smile: "This is only a temporary solution. The legendary high elf mage Madr may be the key to solving the problem of magic addiction."

"I'll help you find clues right now!" Lusya stood up and was about to go out.

"What are you doing out so late?" Carl couldn't help asking, startled by Lusya's actions.

"library!"

"The library has been closed long ago, and the Dalaran library has no clues in this regard."

Ruthya sat back on the sofa and hugged Carl tightly, and said sadly, "But I don't want you to die!"

"I won't die. I'm not ready to die yet. I haven't found your sister Lisa yet. I haven't seen my old comrade-in-arms Mark get married. My life has just begun. I won't admit defeat like this!"

Carl hugged Lusya's waist with his backhand. Neither of them spoke, feeling each other's existence.

After a few minutes.

"Aiden? King of Alterac, who is Jerry?" Karl asked, looking at Luthia who was right in front of him.

"The former leader of the Thieves Guild in Dalaran, and my adoptive father, the great thief Jerry."

"Wait, adoptive father?" Carl showed a look of surprise. He didn't expect that Luthia was not the daughter of the previous leader of the Thieves Guild.

"I am an orphan, a half-elf living in the Dalaran Orphanage," Luthia withdrew her hand, raised her hair, revealing some sharp ears, and continued, "It was my father who adopted me and taught me how to steal thieves." My skills have trained me to be an excellent thief."

"Lisa is my adoptive father's own daughter. If anything happens to Lisa, I will be ashamed to see my adoptive father."

……

At eight o'clock the next morning, Karl and Desai appeared in front of Violet Fort on time. After the two made a request, the guards rushed into Violet Fort to notify.

Violet Fort is the fourth area of ​​Dalaran, and only one of the six members of the Kirin Tor Council has the right to move in.

From the outside, Violet Castle is a complex mage fortress, with a huge tower in the middle, and the tip of the tower goes straight into the sky.

Six small mage towers are separated from the main body of Violet Castle, corresponding to the six members of the Kenrith Council, each with a separate mage tower.

Karl is very envious. It is the dream of many mages to become a mage with a mage tower.

Under the price of living with a few gold coins for a year, the cheapest mage tower is more than 5 gold, and the annual tax revenue of the entire Alterac kingdom is even less than 5 gold coins. This shows the value of a mage tower. high.

Moreover, the construction of the mage tower requires the cooperation of various mages and construction engineers. The technology of building the mage tower is currently only in the hands of Quel'Thalas and Dalaran, which means that sometimes it cannot be completed even if there are enough gold coins Construction of the mage tower.

Looking at the mage tower in front of him, Karl drooled, imagining that one day he could have such a majestic mage tower.
