Chapter 508 Participating in the Grand Event
Chapter 508 Participating in the Grand Event
Lorraine was essentially bailed out of Orgrimmar police station by an acquaintance of Lilith, the necromancer...
Because of the endorsement of the [Death Whisperer] SSS-rank adventurer guild, Lorraine was not subjected to further questioning, but continued to be searched and interrogated.
Seeing that the high-ranking orc officers in the Hall of Legends treated Lilith quite politely, Lorraine became certain that a warrior respected by the orcs must be a hero who had made significant contributions to the tribe, achieving notable results and gaining a reputation...
Whether you're an orc, a troll, or a tauren doesn't really matter...
Even if you are a forgotten being who has been resurrected...
What matters is your ability and achievements...this applies universally...to prove this, there's usually organizational and official endorsement...success is all about prestige...
Clutching his tribal insignia and stroking the sergeant major's badge of honor, Lorraine couldn't help but shake his head...
All the hard work and risking of life for military rank and honors, the so-called medals of honor... are just a stepping stone. Once in orc territory, to truly earn their respect, one needs to complete far more missions and face far greater challenges.
The teacher said that everyone loves useful people... Strong people are respected because useful people can bring benefits to everyone, and strong people can defeat enemies and accomplish things.
Leading everyone to victory...
Horde officers are a dime a dozen in Orgrimmar; most of them grind for no real honor, just for the corresponding benefits... To become a true archmage, you need to earn a pledge of allegiance and appear before the Horde's Warchief...
I was previously struggling with how to make a name for myself in Kalimdor...
Membership in the Deathspeaker Guild seems to be a ticket to entry...
Unexpectedly joining the Deathwhisperers has saved me a lot of trouble; the Adventurers' Guild is indeed a useful organization. Having a group of like-minded, interesting, and powerful companions who complement each other is definitely more efficient and enjoyable than going it alone...
But...
Lorraine was not good with words...
His cautious nature made him automatically distance himself from people. Whether it was just her imagination or not, the necromancer Lilith could sense that Lorraine seemed quite different from before; a coldness and distance were slowly spreading between them...
The venerable priestess Lilith, who rarely smiled, gradually became listless...
The intermittent silence contrasted sharply with the resounding drumbeats of Orgrimmar, causing the initial excitement of the reunion to slowly cool...
This left Lorraine feeling uneasy. He hadn't meant to... He tried to chat with Lilith for a bit, but whether it was an innate fear of the opposite sex or too many taboos, he couldn't share his own experiences... Lorraine quickly fell silent.
The prolonged solitary journey, the teacher's incessant nagging and mental pollution need not be mentioned, along with countless crises, witnessing the easy loss of life, betrayal and deception, weakness and sacrifice—though it was only a separation of about a month, it was actually more complex than Lorraine's entire short life...
The two had different experiences and were in different states of mind, so naturally they spoke less...
After leaving the police station, the two wandered around the military camp in the Valley of Spirits of Orgrimmar, eventually ending up at the edge of the highest tower in Orgrimmar... Not far from the suspension bridge leading from the tower to the Valley of Spirits, near the mountainside, stood a new building: the Orgrimmar Embassy...
Enter through the main gate of Power Valley, and the side leads directly to the embassy...
As Lorraine listened to Lilith's introduction of the tribal capital, they happened to see the Undercity delegation entering through the gates of the Valley of Power, and the two found themselves with a new topic of conversation...
They spotted fellow Forsaken, and the Death Maiden of the Forgotten Shadows was also a rare visitor...
The Shadow Priests of the Forgotten Shadows, who represent the Queen and are absolutely loyal to her, are different from the free-spirited adventurers of the guild. The specific difference might lie in their level of loyalty to the Queen and their status within the guild...
Speaking of the contrasting styles of the two tribal capitals...
The necromancer Lilith said that Orgrimmar was much larger than Undercity, and there were many elders and mages in the Valley of Spirits. She added that in Undercity, one could learn the same spells and ask questions of the troll elders...
This undoubtedly piqued Lorraine's interest.
Besides Spirit Valley, the Shadow Rift near Wisdom Valley is also a strange place.
In the Shadow Alley, there are many orc warlocks and former Shadow Council rogues... If you are a Horde warlock or priest, you will need to go to the Shadow Alley to learn demonic shadow magic originating from Outland...
Lilith mysteriously told Lorraine that there was an entrance leading directly to an underground rift, which was said to be bottomless and connected to a lava region. Many exiled sinners were banished to the Ragefire Rift...
It's dangerous inside; there are not only cave dwellers, but also lava monsters and stone guardians...
Orgrimmar had organized several expeditions to venture deep into the area, but all ended in heavy losses, so they simply abandoned the exploration and designated it a forbidden zone.
From now on, we'll just send people out periodically to clear out any monsters that might emerge from underground...
This task gradually became a mission for the Adventurers' Guild... The Deathwhisperer once ventured deep into the heart of the dungeon and reported to the Warchief that they had discovered traces of demons once summoned by the Shadow Council...
This incident led Warchief Thrall to entrust the Deathwhisperers with an important task, sending them to continue the investigation... Therefore, the members of the Deathwhisperers guild were all very busy, scattered in various places, leaving only odd jobs like Lilith in the city...
Lorraine had heard Lilith and her brother mention this a long time ago...
The mage trainers and elders of Spirit Valley, and the Ragefire Rift in the Dark Alley seem like a worthwhile destination!
......
Shadow Warlocks and some marginalized figures in Orgrimmar volunteered to the Warchief to guard the entrance to Ragefire Chasm. The Warchief, not wanting to continue to oppress groups like the Fireblade Clan who had already pledged allegiance to the new Horde, agreed to let them operate in the Dark Alley and assume their duties.
The alleyway area gradually became the territory of the remnants of the Shadow Council who had not been purged.
Ragefire Rift is a mysterious underground world discovered during the construction of Orgrimmar... Its secrets are far more complex than just an underground prison for exiled prisoners... From Lilith's description alone, Lorraine could sense that there was much more to it than met the eye.
The demon's trail lies in Ragefire Chasm... right beneath the heart of the Horde's capital city, practically right beneath the Warchief's throne...
Has Thrall's new Horde truly broken free from the enslavement of demons?
......
The Shadow Council, an ancient organization of demon warlocks, is no less formidable than the Twilight Council... It could be argued that this evil organization, which stirred up trouble in Outland long ago, is the root cause of the orcs' current state...
Gul'dan, the famous leader of the Shadowmoon Clan, was also the leader of the Shadow Council and the first orcish demon warlock to pledge allegiance to the Burning Legion...
Having witnessed the methods of the Twilight Cultists on Redemption Isle, Kalimdor not only has Twilight Cultists, but also the even older and more powerful Shadow Council.
They are not only insidious and cunning, but they also always lurk in the shadows, using ordinary people as pawns...
Lorraine couldn't help but recall that what the gravedigger priest had said when she awoke in Deathstroke was indeed true...
"Our enemies are everywhere... Don't trust anyone..."
Lorraine's silence was simply his way of protecting Lilith... After all, the more you know, the more trouble and problems you'll encounter...
However, the old fairy Lilith doesn't seem to be buying it...
She was a little angry!
