Hokage of Azeroth

Luo Wei visited the Silver Hand garrison again, asking them to be more vigilant, and then left Daron County.

Now that Daron County is still stable, Marissa faces the threat of the undead every day while following the investigation team, so he naturally feels uneasy.

Rowe first went to Alterac to retrieve the batch of food he had hidden before, then turned around and headed northeast, arriving in Andorhal in a few hours.

As he thought, there were no living people in Andorhal. There were ruins and the smell of corruption everywhere, and broken corpses could be seen everywhere.

Rowe did not enter the town hall. With the help of eternal vision, he easily found the location of the investigation team - Arthas and Jaina were like two big light bulbs, with so many golden threads of fate that they could hardly squeeze in.

"Your Highness, Luo Wei is back!"

The investigation team was standing in a group at this time, seeming to be watching something. When they saw Luo Wei coming back, their reaction was a little commotion.

Alsace walked out of the crowd and came directly to Rowe, with some surprise on his face: "Did the letter arrive?"

"Yes, this is a reply from County Dalong." Luo Wei handed over the reply and asked a little puzzled, "What's wrong, Your Highness?"

"I'm glad to see you back." Alsace took the reply, patted his shoulder with satisfaction, and then sighed longly, "Oh——"

"But only you are back." He explained, the short-term joy disappeared and was replaced by sadness and gloom on his face.

Luo Wei reacted: "Oh, yes, I did encounter some trouble while delivering the message. Some undead tried to intercept me, but they were too slow and couldn't catch up with me."

Arthas smiled faintly again: "He is indeed the best messenger in Lordaeron."

After saying that, he turned back to the crowd.

At this time, Luo Wei noticed that Marissa seemed to be in a bad state. She came over and hugged him, and then said nothing, looking heavy.

"What's wrong with you?" Rowe touched Marissa's face.

Marissa didn't say anything, she just pointed to the middle of the crowd, her raised eyes seemed to be slightly red.

Luo Wei squeezed into the crowd, looked down, and found that what the investigation team was watching turned out to be a corpse.

The corpse of a black-robed wizard.

The wizard has wrinkles, white hair, withered and pale skin, and an aura of decay and evil all over his body. He looks almost the same as the undead.

Only the gradually cooling body temperature could still indicate that he was a recently deceased person.

As for the black-robed wizard who had just died, not only did he not have the painful struggle of an ordinary deceased person, but he had a faint, weird smile on his face, and his eyes were staring straight at something, making people's hair stand on end.

After a long moment of silence.

Jaina said in a heavy voice: "It's Kel'Thuzad..."

Jaina had not been able to recognize that the white-haired wizard was Kel'Thuzad before. Now that the body was close to her eyes, after careful identification, she, as the archmage of Dalaran, finally figured it out.

After Archmage Jaina confirmed it, everyone felt unbelievable and started talking about it.

"Why would he do something like this?"

"It's unbelievable that a Dalaran archmage actually degenerated into an evil necromancer and executioner. This..."

"I met Kel'Thuzad three years ago. At that time, he seemed very normal and adopted a cute kitten. I didn't expect...sigh."

"What's even more terrifying is what he just said. He is not the mastermind behind this plague. The real mastermind is hiding in Stratholme! Holy light, my family is all in Stratholme!"

Marissa wiped her eyes: "We chased here just now and eliminated the undead around us. Then Prince Arthas killed Kel'Thuzad with his own hands... I still can't believe that he is really Kel'Thuzad." Sugard.”

"I don't understand...why would he do this? I always thought he was a good person." She leaned tightly into Luo Wei's arms.

"Kel'Thuzad probably has pursuits that ordinary people can't understand." Rowe sighed slightly, "I remember he seemed to have told us that Dalaran didn't have what he wanted."

The investigation team gradually recovered from the shock and confusion.

Jaina looked at Rowe at this time: "Did you just say that you were intercepted by the undead while delivering the letter?"

Rowe nodded: "Yes, Miss Proudmoore."

Jaina thought for a moment: "Where did you meet him?"

"I got rid of them easily, so I didn't pay much attention." Rowe said, "It should be somewhere not too far from Darrow County."

Alsace: "How is Darrow County now?"

Luo Wei: "It's very peaceful. There are no undead souls, and no food from Andorhal flows in."

Jaina pondered for a moment: "We may be being monitored by some means, but I can't detect it at all... A powerful mage like Kel'Thuzad is not the mastermind. I suspect there is a very terrifying existence behind this plague."

"No matter who it is, I will crush him to ashes!" Arthas angrily stepped on Kel'Thuzad's body on the ground. "Kel'Thuzad, I swear I will come back! At that time, your master will Come stay with you! Just wait!"

The dead Kel'Thuzad lay on the ground without saying a word, with a strange and vague smile still hanging on the corners of his bloodless mouth.

It seemed that he was really waiting silently.

Arthas took a deep breath: "Let's go to Hearthglen."

"Why go to Hearthglen?" Many people looked at each other, obviously confused by this decision.

Arthas explained: "Hearthglen was once the territory of Tirion Fordring, and there were many soldiers and paladins. We went there to gather a group of people, and then went to Stratholme to find out the damn mastermind. make!"

Jaina hesitated: "Arthas, I think we should inform Uther."

Arthas obviously disagreed and said: "Hearthglen is not far to the north, and Uther's camp is too far away from us. By the time he reaches Andorhal, we will all be in Stratholme."

Jaina hesitated to speak.

He thought of something again, pointed at Luo Wei, and said without question: "By the way, as a reward for the only courier who completed the mission, your military rank is now promoted to sergeant major, and you serve as my chief courier. This is yours Medal of the Union.”

Arthas threw a medal to Rowe, and then waved without looking back: "Let's go to Hearthglen."

Luo Wei lowered his head and looked at the medal in his hand.

The medal is made of silver and is very finely crafted. It is engraved with the symbols of the Alliance and Lordaeron, as well as his new military rank - Master Chief.

Everyone followed Arthas and headed towards Hearthglen.

Behind them, the corpses of the undead were scattered everywhere. Kel'Thuzad lay quietly on the ruins, his pale smile frozen in the eerie silence of Andorhal...
