Chapter 714 Who Are You?

Walking on the not too wide path in the forest, Duke was worried.

right! He returned, but his condition was very bad. Even though he looks fine on the outside, in reality, only he knows how hard it is to play Interstellar.

He came back alone first.

It’s impossible not to do this.

Karazhan was wrapped in the depths of the space-time tunnel by a spider web composed of countless space cracks. Apart from him, no other person could come out. Although Alexstrasza can transform into a human form, the amount of magic required to teleport her is too staggering.

Except for her, everyone else is not good at magic. Although Khadgar is much stronger, the problem is that this ghost mage is almost an earthbound spirit, and it is difficult to leave Karazhan.

In the end, he was trapped for too long. After Duke prepared for a long time, he teleported back alone.

It was an extremely thrilling journey. Even with the assistance of the system elves, Duke almost died in the void. After all, many times, you have to make your body change direction three or four times at a high speed exceeding the speed of sound in one second.

This work is really not done by humans.

But after returning, Duke had two serious problems.

First, he burned out a lot of magic circuits. According to a rough estimate, his power may have temporarily dropped to the level of an ordinary Huiyue mage. But if he is given some time to reorganize his magic circuit, it shouldn't be a problem to reach the half-step sunrise he once achieved in Karazhan.

Secondly... the system wizard seems to have gone silent. No matter how I called, there was no response. I don't know if it's the solar storm or the influence of the space magnetic field, but the system elf is on his knees for the time being.

Both of these greatly affected Duke's strength.

As Duke walked, he asked Renault about the current situation.

Although he had frightened Reno, Reno still tried to answer his questions carefully and selectively.

Through Renault's mouth, Duke finally learned some important news:

Lordaeron has been encroaching on the original Alterac territory in the past ten years. Now, except for Southsea Town, which has been upgraded to a Southsea city-state and has autonomy, the rest of the territory is basically owned by Lordaeron. It's just that the Broken Ridge, which was originally the royal city of Alterac, was abandoned by Lordaeron because of the large number of snowmen entrenched there and despite the failure of many attempts to clear it.

King Llane Wrynn was assassinated by an orc swordmaster in the 8th year of the Dark Portal. Since then, Anduin Lothar has been serving as regent to assist the young king Varian. However, in the past two years, due to Lothar's poor health, Duke Bolvar Fordragon has basically been the regent.

When he heard Renault say that the holy city of Stratholme was fine, Duke felt a little lucky. In this way, according to the original history, Arthas should not have fallen yet. In this case, it seems that the situation is not the worst.

However, when Duke asked about Alsace's situation, Renault became even more vigilant: "Didn't you tell Sally that you were from the mountains? Why are you so concerned about His Highness Alsace?"

What an injustice to Duke!

Faced with the vigilance of the underage boy and girl, Duke was quite speechless.

Just when Duke wanted to say something,

The wind suddenly brought a terrible stench.

Sally covered her mouth, and even Reno, who looked like a protector, had difficulty holding back vomiting.

It was the unique smell of a slaughterhouse, with a hint of sickly sweetness—no, not the fishy smell of fresh flesh and blood, but the stench of rotting corpses.

Duke hadn't smelled this smell for too long.

This smell can only occur a few days after the corpses are buried on the battlefield.

The rotten smell came from a house near a forest trail. What happened inside is now clear.

Sally turned to Renault, her face pale but determined: "I have to go in and check. If there are souls inside that need me to save..."

Suddenly, along with the poisonous gas of death, a terrifying scream with the sound of liquid gunfire filled the entire forest, and something rushed towards them from inside and behind the house at an alarming speed.

Without hesitation, Renault instantly pulled out the sword from his waist and pointed the blade at the incoming man tremblingly.

Following the light of the sword's edge, Renault's eyes met a pair of dark eye holes.

Renault, who had never actually been on the battlefield, was shocked to find that he had no idea how to react to the thing that was a walking nightmare.

It was dressed in a tattered shirt and overalls and carried a pitchfork as a weapon. It should have been a farmer before, but that was when it was alive, and now it is clearly a dead person, with gray-green rotting flesh falling off the bones, rotten fingers leaving dirty traces on the pitchfork handle, and pustules leaking gelatinous fluid. Black pus.

It howled, foul-smelling saliva dripping from the corners of its black mouth, and Sally screamed.

The scream seemed to frighten Renault. He froze for a moment and almost had no time to swing his sword before he was stabbed by the pitchfork.

Fortunately, years of training had allowed his body to develop a fighting instinct. He just happened to knock the pitchfork out of the living dead's hand with his sharp long sword, and then he whirled the long sword and slashed it horizontally into its neck.

Chopping up the neck that had lost its flexibility gave Renault a disgusting feeling as if he had chopped into a rotting haystack. Then, the dirty head suddenly flew into the sky, and the smelly liquid spurted from the broken neck section sprayed half of Renault's face. .

After losing its head, the thing fell onto its back and never got up again.

As a trainee priest, Sally used a holy light spell. Although she knocked down one zombie, it was replaced by more zombies.

This was far more than either of them could handle.

"Sally, run!" Renault screamed. Although his hands were trembling, he still chose to let the lady run first.

At this moment, the two of them suddenly heard a "whoosh" sound and a continuous sound of breaking wind.

Countless fire beams flew past them and hit the swarming zombies. The fireballs exploded. While blowing away those disgusting monsters, the stench in the air suddenly added a hint of burnt flesh. taste.

The noisy roar of the monster was reduced by 90% in a few seconds, and the clearest sound in the air was the crackling sound of burning flames.

In the distance, more living corpses were staggering and trying to rush over. Renault and Sally looked back at the same time, only to see ten small dots of flames burning steadily on the tips of Duke's slender fingers, like ten harmless orange flowers. .

The next moment, those fire points roared out and turned into a huge fireball the size of a water tank, hitting the pile of monsters.

After a few clicks, dozens of monsters knelt down.

Sally asked tremblingly: "Who are you!?"
