Hokage of Azeroth

"Impossible!" Nazgrel blurted out, "Absolutely impossible! You must be lying to me!"

Tias: "If you don't believe it, we can go to the warlock's hiding place and have a look. Of course, the warlock is very powerful, so we'd better bring more people."

"Okay." Nazgrel stood up and looked directly at Tias, "But if the news is false, what will you do?"

Tias did not back down: "If the news is false, I will cut off my head to you! What if the news is true?"

Nazgrel's forehead felt hot and he blurted out: "If the news is true, I will cut off my head to you too!"

Thrall quickly advised: "Don't be like this... The Syndicate is our common enemy, and there is no need for us to risk our lives for them."

Luo Wei thought for a while and said: "You should change your bet. There may be things in this world that are worth paying for, but bets are definitely not."

"What bet?"

Luo Wei: "Those who lose the bet must apologize to the other party for all their past offenses and provocations, and swear with all integrity and honor that they will treat each other like their own kind in the future."

"When have I offended and provoked it?" Nazgrel blurted out.

"How can it have integrity and honor?" Tias did not fall behind.

"..."

Sal coughed twice: "Let the bet decide. Those who are willing to admit defeat have integrity and honor, and those who are tolerant and generous do not offend or provoke."

With the persuasion of Rowe and Thrall, Nazgrel and Tias finally agreed to this new bet.

"So, where is the 'evil orc warlock' you call?" Nazgrel still didn't believe Tias's statement at all.

Tias: "Marez Kaul's whereabouts are unknown..."

"Ha, whereabouts are uncertain!" Nazgrel mocked.

"Listen to him," Thrall said.

Tias continued: "However, according to confession, Marez Cawl has been staying in the northern Alterac Mountains recently, teaching several of her students there-also orcs."

As he spoke, he took out a map of Alterac and drew a circle with blood on it: "Probably in this area."

Rowe: "How strong are Marez Kaul and her servants?"

Tias said: "Marez Caul is a high-level warlock and is good at summoning powerful demons. There don't seem to be any powerful characters among her servants."

Thrall thought for a while: "In that case, let me, Rowe, and Nazgrel take the people... How about taking ten people in total?"

Tias: "It should be no problem. There are not many manpower where Marez Kaul is."

"Okay, we'll set off in three days."

After leaving Nazgrel, Rowe couldn't help but ask: "Tias, why did you make that bet just now?"

"Because my information must be true." Tias said, "Of course, I also know that the guy will definitely not keep his word."

Luo Wei didn't say anything to this: "How is your recovery now?"

"almost."

Three days passed in a flash.

Led by Rowe, Thrall and Nazgrel, a ten-man team consisting of four humans and six orcs set out from Frostwolf Village and headed towards the northern part of the Alterac Mountains.

The orcs rode their frost wolves, and Lepelithus, Tias, and Sandor each rode a horse, which were the three horses captured from Skallock.

Luo Wei still walked, which made him look very different in the team.

It's not that he doesn't want to have a mount. After all, it's easier to have someone to travel with.

Unfortunately, neither the war horse nor the frost wolf is fast enough for him, so it saves more energy than walking. If he is running for a long distance or escaping for his life, it may become a burden.

What kind of mount should I find?

On the first day of departure, Luo Wei kept thinking about this issue.

After a long journey, they first arrived at a town called Steinblade, which was also the only remaining human town in the entire Alterac region.

Of course, the orcs can't enter.

In fact, only Rowe entered Steinblade, found an innkeeper named Dean, and bought some food from him to take a rest.

"I want some Alterac cold cheese and meat pies." Rowe took the list, "If you can, bring me some fodder for the horses and minced meat for the dogs."

Boss Dean: "Okay, no problem."

"Boss, how's Steinblad's business going?" Rowe asked casually.

"Same as usual." Boss Dean was not very interested. "The town is relatively stable, but farmers and people doing business outside the city are often robbed by syndicates, which raises the purchase price of food and various goods. Quite a few.”

"The Syndicate deserves to die."

"That's right." Boss Dean nodded with deep understanding, "But I'm afraid these guys won't die soon. More and more people are moving away. To be honest, I'm considering moving too."

"Where do you plan to move?"

"I'm still considering it, and I won't move for the time being." Boss Dean said thoughtfully, "I think Andorhal is a good place, don't you think so?"

"……maybe."

There were a lot of things to buy, but with Luo Wei carrying the bag on his shoulder and the sealing scroll, one person could carry it. After a while, he returned to where Sal and others were and distributed the food.

Cold cheese is quite popular, especially among a few humans.

After all, only Steinblade can buy authentic Alterac cold cheese now.

"Is this the famous Alterac cold cheese?" Lepoliss took a few bites and then shook his head, "Compared with ordinary cheese, there seems to be no difference."

Tias: "But it is the origin of all cheese and one of the sources of food culture in the human world."

"It's a pity that food doesn't need to be legalized." Luo Wei only took a bite of cold cheese. He would still rather eat meatloaf. "It's more important to be delicious than to be authentic."

Tias subconsciously wanted to retort, but in the end he didn't say anything. After all, he had to admit that meat did taste better.

Leaving the area where Steinblade was, a group of ten people continued on their way.

Two days later.

"If nothing else, we will soon enter the territory of the Syndicate." Luo Wei said holding the map.

"To be precise, it is the territory of 'Argus Resurrection'." Tias said.

Thrall asked: "Argus Resurrection? What is that?"

Tias explained: "It is the organization to which Marez Caul and other orcs belong. Strictly speaking, Argus Resurrection and Syndicate should be considered two organizations, but they are very closely related."

"Hmph, unheard of." Nazgrel snorted, "I want to see where those orcs you talked about so vividly are."
