So that's how it is. Yrel accepted the Prophet Velen's command and is waiting for the fiftieth person to appear at the Dark Portal.
Robbie coughed and said, "My solution is simple: go back to the Lunarfall and post a notice saying that there are Mastery jewelry Follower here waiting to be hired."
"Yeah, it's so simple, how come I didn't think of that?" Yrel banged her head.
"Keep an eye on Technician Romuul for 24 hours. Find the fiftieth person in the Dark Portal." Vanessa gave the order to Robbie and her Followers in the fortress's Town Hall.
Robbie's notice worked; the next day, a large group of commanders gathered on the hill where technician Romuul worked.
Romuul said nothing, but repeatedly activated the protective crystal, attracting a continuous stream of wolves.
Before long, the wolf carcasses piled up like a mountain, Yrel happily jumped out to skin them.
If anyone tries to take it from her, she claims that this is the territory of Embaari Village and that the wolf pelt belongs to the villagers collectively. If anyone doesn't listen to her advice, she kicks them hard with her hooves.
Before long, a group of commanders had their arms and legs broken and were lying on the ground groaning in pain. It was just as she had said: whoever cuts off her source of income, she will break their limbs.
Robbie, however, became interested in the protective crystal. What kind of crystal would attract a pack of wolves as soon as it was activated?
The situation changed again the next day.
A magnificent Worgen Druid transformed into Juxiong, like a towering hill, blocking the view below the slope, where a large group of ranged classes stood.
"Sorry everyone, our Heaven and Earth Guild has booked the entire venue," the Worgen Druid said bluntly.
Seeing this annoying situation, the commanders cursed and dispersed on their own.
Only Yrel, who skinned people without a care in the world, was someone the Heaven and Earth Guild dared not provoke.
Juxiong, the president of the Heaven and Earth Guild, believes that sincerity can move mountains.
This Follower is so difficult to obtain, perhaps it has hidden attributes, or it might be Legendary Follower, so they activated the crystal again and again.
Robbie had noticed that the more people on the hillside, the more wolves it attracted. The Heaven and Earth Guild had been guarding the hillside for three consecutive days, suffering heavy losses, but to no avail. The hillside was already stained red with wolf blood.
On the morning of the third day, Romuul suddenly disappeared.
During this period, Weldon Barov in charge of monitoring. Realizing his negligence, he dejectedly recounted what had happened to everyone.
"It's very strange. I was hiding near the hillside, keeping watch, and I even sprinkled revealing powder on the likely route to prevent any Stealth classes from sneaking up. Before sunrise, I noticed Romuul starting to pack his things and then leaving. I swear, absolutely no one contacted him."
"Were you following him?" Robbie asked.
"Of course, my tracking skills are top-notch," Weldon proudly announced. "I saw Romuul enter Embaari Village and head straight for the Flight Point, his destination the Lunarfall. So I quickly rented a Gryphon to follow him. When we arrived at the Lunarfall, a large group of people came out on horseback. To avoid them, I went in a circle, and then they disappeared."
Chiana Moonshadow scoffed, "You dare call your tracking skills top-notch?"
"Tch, although we've lost track of them, I've already found out that the largest Legendary guild in the Lunarfall, Joined Heaven and Earth, Supreme, Overlord, has formed a massive force of thirty commanders, over a hundred Followers, and about two hundred adventurers. They plan to wipe out the Shadowmoon Clan Void Mage threatening Embaari Village in one fell swoop and close all the Void Portals."
Vanessa said calmly, "I already knew that."
"Commander, how did you know?" Weldon asked in surprise.
Vanessa tilted her head. "They sent me a letter inviting me to participate."
Robbie sensed that the atmosphere had become strange.
Weldon lowered his voice and whispered to Robbie, "Our commander is so incompetent, how did he even get an invitation?"
"I heard everything." Vanessa's voice was cold, Weldon shuddered in fright.
"Let's adjourn the meeting. Everyone's tired. Let's take a day off today. Robbie, come with me," Vanessa said.
Robbie accompanied Vanessa out of the fortress, and Vanessa lowered her voice and said:
"I knew I couldn't count on these idiots. I already gave Romuul Thousand-Mile Fragrance. Now let's go find him."
Vanessa sniffed the air carefully like a puppy, and soon arrived at the gate of a fortress.
"I 'Stealth in and scout. You wait outside," Vanessa instructed.
Robbie shook his head. "No need, let's go in together."
Vanessa looked puzzled. Robbie pointed to the level-one fortress in front of them. "This fortress is abandoned."
"Yes!" Vanessa, slightly embarrassed.
The fortress was indeed empty. Vanessa squinted, carefully sniffing the lingering scent.
"Someone has broken my Thousand-Mile Fragrance recipe. That's impressive. My Thousand-Mile Fragrance formula is unique; only the alchemists of Dalaran can concoct the Antidote. Robbie, I want to hear your analysis."
Robbie pondered for a moment and replied, "I think that must be it. The mysterious man contacted the technician Romuul before us, revealed his identity, and signed an employment contract with him. So no matter how hard the other commanders tried, he wouldn't accept the job. As for why he stayed on the hillside to repair the crystal, I guess he was testing the crystal's effect on attracting wolves."
Vanessa hesitated for a moment, then said, "Perhaps your analysis is correct. Damn it, we've all been fooled."
"That's not necessarily true." Robbie's gaze sharpened, and he sneered, "A crystal that can attract wolves, well... its function..."
The next day, Beiqing Feathermoon visited and lingered in Vanessa's dressing room for a long time. In the end, she chose a poison silk suit and left happily.
After Beiqing Feathermoon left, Vanessa took out a list and handed it to Robbie.
"Night Elves entering Draenor must report to Beiqing Feathermoon, registering their profession and origin; otherwise, they cannot be hired. This list includes all the Night Elf Druids of the Lunarfall, and the Defiler from the Emerald Dream must be on it."
"Commander, is this why you deliberately approached Beiqing?" Robbie was quite surprised, not expecting Vanessa to have such a scheme.
Vanessa smugly hummed a few times, boasting, "Everyone has flaws. Beiqing Feathermoon can't resist pretty clothes, so I'm just playing to her tastes."
"Could this list be...?" Robbie made a suggestive gesture, as if he were stealing something.
"Am I that kind of person?" Vanessa smiled faintly. "I simply told Beiqing that I wanted to hire a powerful Druid, and she gave me the list."
Beiqing Feathermoon is too naive; she lacks any sense of caution.
The list is very long, and we need to filter out those who are not suspects, and then investigate and eliminate them one by one. The workload is enormous, and if we cannot find the suspects before Velen's prophecy, then it is meaningless.
Robbie saw a familiar name.
Grand Druid Grandaris.
Isn't this version 0, the boss from Blackheart Thicket?
"Commander, no need to look anymore, this is him."
"What's the basis for that?" Vanessa asked, puzzled.
"The basis is..." Robbie clicked his tongue, wondering how to put it. He asked mysteriously, "Commander, do you believe in a man's intuition?"
