Almost all the archmages of Quel'Thalas live in Silvermoon City, with the exception of Melia Starwhisper who chooses to sit in the Tower of Morningstar.
This was not because she wanted to protect the Bandinoril Barrier, but simply because she was not used to the hedonistic atmosphere of Silvermoon City and chose to go into self-exile in the southern part of the forest.
Melia is a very traditional arcanist, and all her joy in life lies in studying arcana and truth.
In order to achieve her ultimate goal in life, she made a lot of actions that were very bizarre in the eyes of others, without any sense of morality or shame. To a certain extent, she did whatever it took to achieve her goals.
Sarlayan heard a rumor when he was a child.
In order to prove his life experience and bloodline, Melia once sneaked into Deep Shadow Manor naked and tried to seduce Julian to have a child with her.
Whether this rumor is true or false, Salayan has not received a definite answer to this day.
Every time he asked his father this question, he would be put off, and Melia would always say with a smile that it was just a rumor.
But in fact, since that rumor appeared, Melia, who used to always look at Sarlayan with a scary look, has restrained her behavior a lot, at least she will no longer blatantly sniff and lick him.
While climbing up the spiral staircase of the mage tower, Valeela looked obviously unhappy.
"Tsk~ If it weren't for the fact that I had no other choice, I really wouldn't want to see that witch."
Lilas smiled and spread his hands: "Don't say that. Although Archmage Melia has done a lot of... things that are incomprehensible, her abilities are indeed absolutely fake."
"If you really can't convince her..."
Lilas turned to look at Anderson, who always had an uneasy look on his face, with a cold light flashing in his eyes: "We can give her a living experiment that she can manipulate at will. This must also be a temptation for Melia.
.”
"Alas!"
Anderson was pierced by Lyras's cold gaze, and his whole body shivered, and he subconsciously hid behind Sarlayan.
"Speaking of which..."
Vereesa did not make any criticism of her brother's behavior, and she had no good feelings towards Anderson, a villain who betrayed the interests of the country.
Suddenly remembering something, Vereesa looked at Anderson thoughtfully and asked, "You must not be a mage, right? Why did you chant a spell while escaping during the battle at Yanghen Peak?"
"this……"
Anderson hesitated for a moment, but under many sharp glances, he could only take out a parchment engraved with magic patterns from the inner pocket of his chest.
"This is a one-time transmission book given to me by my employer. It can be activated by injecting magic power into it and activating it with a specific spell."
After the Horde broke through the Bandinoril barrier, Gul'dan did some tricks through the corrupted runestones.
The entire space of Yongge Forest was forcibly blocked by the powerful warlock. Under normal circumstances, even the archmage could not activate teleportation spells.
"Can you ignore the teleportation book that restricts space..."
Valeela looked at the parchment in her hand, her eyes flashing.
Salorian asked curiously: "Girl of the Sangunar family, do you have any ideas?"
"Um……"
Valeela subconsciously touched the corners of her eyebrows and said with some hesitation: "I'm wondering, is this teleportation book really just a random transmission? Will the main messenger behind the scenes set the exit coordinates at a specific location?"
"For example...a place where traps have been set to kill people?"
"this……"
Anderson's eyes widened unconsciously. After listening to Valeela's analysis, he once again deeply felt how reckless and stupid his decision to take on this task was because he was obsessed with money.
If your life is gone, what's the use of money? It's even said that the other party may have planned to silence him without paying him from the beginning.
Salorian said thoughtfully: "It is indeed possible. Considering the identity of the real traitor, the place where he was killed should not be far from Silvermoon City, and may even be in a corner of the city that no one cares about."
Vereesa raised her eyebrows slightly: "You don't want to deliberately activate the teleportation book, do you?"
Salorian thought about it for a while before shaking his head: "It's a little too early to say this now. Anyway, let Melia help check it first."
…
The height of the Tower of Morning Star is not as high as those extremely beautifully decorated mage towers in Silver Moon City, with only three floors in total.
The ground floor was empty and looked like a utility room filled with all kinds of strange things.
The second floor should be Melia's laboratory, and I could always smell some indescribable pungent smell when passing by.
Salorian didn't care much about the unpleasant smell itself, but his brows hadn't loosened since he entered the mage tower.
"That guy Melia...is he conducting any weird experiments again?"
"Don't slander people randomly."
A red-haired female mage with thick dark circles walked down from the living area on the third floor. Her steps were wobbly and she seemed like she might fall down at any time.
His messy hair was piled randomly on his head, looking like a chicken coop, and the archmage's robe was also wrinkled.
If the self-proclaimed noble mage masters in Silvermoon City saw her corrupting the image of a mage, their blood pressure would probably soar on the spot, and they would throw out their staffs and engage in a mage duel with her.
...Some people have actually done this, but those mages who took the initiative to provoke were beaten to the ground by Melia, who looked very sloppy.
There was an unlucky man who was rude and called her an old maid who didn't know how to enjoy life. Melia, who was not yet 1,000 years old at the time, was so angry that she used arcane magic to hang her upside down on the city wall for three whole days before she was put down. She was about to die.
Dried.
"Ah ~ long time no see, my dear little Sarlayan."
Melia walked down the stairs crookedly and rushed towards Sarlayan without hesitation in front of other people.
"Hey~"
Sarlayan rolled his eyes helplessly.
During the rebellious period of the past few years, he was self-righteous and often fought against Melia. He suffered a lot during that time.
After being taught many ridiculous arcane tricks many times, Sarlayan, who did not believe in evil, finally learned the lesson.
Don't mess with this weird old...sister, she can always come up with all kinds of weird tricks to torture people.
Meliya is petite, only over 1.5 meters tall, and due to irregular eating all year round, she is quite thin and light.
Catching Melia, who weighed less than 100 pounds, was not difficult for the burly Sarlayan. What was difficult was the unpleasant smell that accompanied Melia's embrace.
"Salayan is wearing a mask of pain. Is this old sister's flat figure too annoying? (Funny)"
"I don't think so. Look carefully at Valeera and Vereesa's movements."
Not only did Sallayan smell a strange smell, Vereesa, Salorian and others were only delayed for a second or two.
"Ugh~"
Valeera retched unbearably and complained to Melia angrily: "You forgot to eliminate the smell again!"
"ah?"
Only then did Melia drowsily raise her head from Sarlayan's arms, grab her mage robe and sniff it a few times.
"Oh~ I really forgot, please wait for me."
"Da~"
He casually snapped his fingers, and several magic circles appeared one after another around Melia. He completed a rather complicated spell without even using a staff.
"Huh~"
A cool breeze blew through the tower, and the smell of Melia's body disappeared immediately.
"I'm currently studying alchemy. The smell in the tower is rather unpleasant. Please keep your story short."
"Ha~"
Yawning lazily, Melia leaned on Salorian without noticing anything, and looked at Salorian with a pair of dead fish eyes with a half-smiling expression.
"Well Guard, why are you coming to Yongsong Forest to look for me when you're not guarding the Sunwell on Quel'Danas Island? The end of the world is coming?"
Salorian ignored Melia's inappropriate teasing and winked at Valeera standing aside.
"this."
Valeela handed Melia the parchment teleportation book obtained from Anderson.
"oh?"
The lazy Melia felt something interesting about this parchment, and snatched it from Valeera's hand.
"Interesting, this has the magical aura of that old guy Sandrick. Where did you find it?"
"Sandrick..."
A glint flashed in Salorian's eyes: "Sandric Sunshadow?"
