Journey to Azeroth

Chapter 164 Shadows in the Darkness
"Boom boom boom!"

The sound of metal heavy boots stepping on the wooden deck interrupted Carl, who was about to rest, and the people in the random room were pushed away from the outside. Carol walked in dejectedly, followed by Cowley, who was gloating.

"How's the record?"

"Forget it," Carol said depressedly, lying on the hammock, looking at the ceiling, with a look of exhaustion.

"Hey hey!" Cowley laughed gloatingly.

"Who is the champion?"

"Dax," Cowley said, pushing the parchment into Cal's hand.

Carl glanced at the parchment and exclaimed, "Four people?"

"Four!"

"Have you been playing the five-player game for so long?"

"Two out of three, plus halftime," Cowley spread his hands.

There are only three names on the parchment, and their information is behind the names.

"How did you get their identity information?" Carl asked curiously.

"Khalil Torrance."

"Go, go out and see!"

The crowd on the deck hadn't dispersed yet, and the magic daggers enchanted with sharp blades were passed among the sailors. The simple and honest Dax looked at them helplessly while holding the dagger scabbard.

On the other side, hiding in the shadow of the corridor, Cowley introduced to Carl the other three people on the parchment.

Nierma, a middle-aged man, with wet hair tightly attached to his forehead, thin body, looks very weak, at this moment he is playing with this magic dagger, the dagger is flying up and down in his hand, watching It turns out that he is very skilled in the use of daggers.

"How did this guy get into the audition?" Carl whispered to Cowley beside him.

"Although Nierma is thin and thin, her strength is astonishing. He is No.3. It took Carol a lot of effort to defeat him."

Kuka, a short and fat human, with a childish face and thin fluff at the corner of his mouth, limped when he walked. Instead of squeezing in the crowd, he took out his wine glass and filled it to the brim. A glass of rum.

"It shouldn't be him," Carl shook his head. "This person is very heavy, and it's not convenient to walk. It's impossible for there to be no traces at the scene, unless he cleaned it carefully after the murder."

Bob, to Karl's surprise, was a Kul Tiran.

The Kul Tirans lived in Kul Tiras in the era of Kul Tiras, and the main city was Boralus. They were very different from ordinary humans. Compared with humans with an average height of about 1.8 meters, they were huge. A lot, an ordinary Kul Tiran man is over [-] meters tall.

Carl stood feeling as if he was facing a young Gron.

"It's definitely not him," Carl said categorically. "The space in the cabin is small, and it's difficult for him with his stature to perform in such a small space. Even if he did it, the movement must be very loud."

"So only Nierma and Kuka are suspected, so I'm going to call Khalil Torrance."

"And Dax," Carl whispered behind him as he watched Cowley go away. This guy actually forgot the champion Dax.

……

In the middle of the night, candles were lit in the room of several people at this time. Under the slightly dark candlelight, Carol and Blake had already fallen asleep, and Cowley was oiling the double-handed crossbow in the corner, muttering to himself. I don't know what to say.

As for Karl, he was holding a heavy spell book. This spell book was profound and complicated, and it was extremely difficult for him to read it.

Soon, Karl gave up depressingly. He stuffed the spell book into his pocket, greeted in a low voice, and walked outside.

"Don't disturb them," Karl nodded to Cowley, and began to cast the spell.

"Stealth."

Carl's figure gradually faded and quickly disappeared on the deck. Behind Carl, Cowley also disappeared.

Elune hung high in the night sky, silver moonlight slanting down.

Karl controlled the pace of his feet, trying not to make a sound. Invisibility is a four-ring spell of the illusion system. After being cast on the target, it can distort the surrounding light so that the enemy cannot see it.

But this spell has a strong side effect, the enemy cannot see the mage who is in invisibility, and the mage cannot see the enemy.

Because the light is distorted, people in the invisibility technique cannot receive the light from outside, but the magic is that the invisibility technique can see each other.

For example, if two mages each cast invisibility, the enemy cannot find the traces of the two, but the two mages can see each other.

Carl walked down the stairs cautiously, but accidentally bumped into Cowley next to him. In a hurry, Cowley rolled down to the cabin before he could control his body.

"Sorry!" Carl apologized in a low voice.

After entering the cabin, he quickly found that his worries were completely unnecessary. The snoring of several sailors was loud. It was difficult for the sailors who could sleep in such an environment to wake them up. He simply canceled the invisibility technique and left. go in.

The torches inside the cabin were burning brightly, illuminating the cabin flickering, and the hammock swayed slightly with the swaying of the ship.

Going around several cargo boxes blocking the way, Carl found a hidden corner, pulled up his hood to block his face, and stared at the cabin expressionlessly.

On the other side of the cabin, Cowley was also sitting on the same thing. Unlike Carl, he activated stealth, and the stealth of the thieves would not affect the vision, although Carl felt that even if Cowley did not sneak at night, the enemy and It's hard to spot him.

As the night got deeper and deeper, sleepiness enveloped him. Carl had to pinch himself a few times to stay awake, but the effect was not obvious. He could only persist for a few minutes each time. After a few minutes, he had to repeat the previous action.

Just when Karl couldn't hold on anymore and was about to fall asleep, a black figure with a cloak appeared in his field of vision. The black figure bent over, crawled on the deck with hands and feet, stopped from time to time, and looked around .

Karl huddled his body tightly in the corner and controlled his breathing.

Fortunately, Sombra didn't notice Karl's existence. Fortunately, humans don't have dark vision. At this tense moment, he was still thinking about these things, and he couldn't help but marvel that this is also a kind of talent.

Soon, the black shadow came to a sleeping sailor, pulled out a gleaming dagger, then raised the dagger high, and was about to stab the sailor.

No, Karl immediately started casting spells.

"Hand of Midas."

A translucent giant hand made of stances appeared beside the black shadow, slammed forward, knocked it into the air, and stuck it on the cabin wall.

Karl stood up quickly, stepped forward in three steps and two steps, trying to untie the black shadow's cloak, but was punched on the chest by the black shadow who reacted.

The strength of the black shadow was so strong that Karl was pushed back 3 meters before barely stopping.
