Hardcore old players who have played the game actually know that Ashenvale is a place with many secrets. Here is one of the entrances to Emerald Dream, and here is where Grom died in battle. There are also the dens of Druid and Sleep here, and even on the eastern coast, there are traces of Naga under Queen Azshara's command.

But what secrets lie near the off-the-beaten-path Starfall Lake?

After all, it was three years ago, and Dick's memory was not good enough to have a photographic memory. He could only quietly follow the guidance of his left hand and walked toward the northwest of Starfall Lake.

Paladin did not disturb Young Lady and Liadrin who were playing in the water. Don't underestimate these two girls. Jaina will not say it, he is a Lord Mage, with the bonus of Ebonchill, Dick may not be her opponent in a real fight.

After a long adaptation period, Liadrin also began to show her extraordinary Talents on the road to Paladin, perhaps due to the addition of the mysterious power in Dick's body. In short, She basically knows all the skills that Dick knows. In a one-on-one fight, even Dick would have to spend a lot of effort to suppress the High Elf beauty who is becoming increasingly violent and indifferent to others.

However, as he walked northwest along the Starfall Lake, Dick was even more surprised, because after a section of overgrown woods, a winding upward path appeared in front of him. Damn it! There are still people living here?

Dick's inner curiosity drove him to walk forward quickly. As a result, after bypassing a mountain col, Paladin bent down, stretched out his hand and touched the ground, and Dick held an ancient Gemstone with a missing piece in his hand.

Although I can't understand the densely packed Runes above, I have been with Young Lady for so long, and I have learned a little bit about identifying Fel Runes under the influence of Dick.

The piece of Gemstone in his hand is clearly a magic weapon mixed with High Elf style. To be precise, it should be part of some kind of Magic Circle magic weapon.

Dick held Gemstone in his left hand, and his unique Order Power seeped out. He turned Gemstone in a circle, and a dim spark jumped out of his hand. Dick's eyes immediately narrowed.

This energy confrontation reaction is Fel Energy! To be precise, it is the residue of the energy attack from Demon.

Paladin placed the damaged Gemstone on the ground, reached out and pulled out Silver Hand's standard Longsword from his waist. In such a small scene, the arrogant little loli Anveena would not allow him to use Fire of Justice.

Dick bent over, imitating the junior Stealth's posture taught by Syndicate's Rogue, sticking to the shadow of the mountain wall, and quietly moving towards the small mountain peak.

One Felguard, use Dark Green for Fel Iron Chains is walking down the hillside holding two Felhound. This 3-meter-tall guy is carrying a green iron Helm. There are three sharp corners on the top of his head and a thick machete on his back. His upper body is bare, and his body is covered with muscles shaped by Fel Energy. He looks like a ruthless character at first glance.

But just as it swaggered to the back of the hillside, a small Holy Light Flail suddenly appeared above its head, knocking the big Felguard unconscious without even a trace of wind.

Dick jumped out of his hiding place, swiped two swords, and driven by his own strength, cut off the head of Felhound who was rushing towards him from both sides. Before Felguard woke up, he pierced its chest with a sword, and then put his left hand on the top of Demon's head.

"Bang!"

There was a dull sound of falling to the ground, and the highly compressed Order Power and Holy Light Power were mixed together, like little Dagger, piercing Demon's head, making the inside a mess.

Dick took out a handkerchief and wiped off the green blood stains on his hands. It took him 20 minutes to reach the top of the mountain without alerting the team Demon. However, what followed was not a scene that his poor Stealth skills could handle.

He poked his head out from behind the boulder on the hillside,

After taking a general look at the situation on the mountain peak, unexpectedly, in such a small place, there was a rare Shivarra patrolling back and forth. Outside the Elf style room that had been mostly destroyed, an ultra-small Demon Camp was in sight. The movements of these Demons were not right!

Dick frowned. This hiding style is not Demon's fighting style. That blue Shivarra should be considered Demon Burning Legion is a low-level Commander. No matter how stupid Mannoroth is, he will not put this kind of Demon in this place that will not help the battle situation.

There's something weird in that house!

Dick sniffed, holding Libram at his waist, flipping through a few pages, and drew several circles on the pages with his fingers. The next moment, two golden rays of light rose up from Dick's body.

Although the Blessing spell can be released without the help of Libram, Dick discovered this problem after Quel'Thalas's battle. With the help of Libram, the Blessing spell released lasts longer and the effect is slightly better than that released with bare hands.

When the golden Fist and the gold and blue shield flew out above Dick's head, Paladin no longer hid his figure. He jumped out from behind the boulder, his right hand holding the sword was tilted behind him, his left hand was held like Fist, and he slammed it towards Shivarra who was releasing the spell.

Although there is only one word difference between Shivarra and Dreadlord, they are two completely different Demons. The latter is the advanced Commander of the Burning Legion. As High-ranking Demon, both are the weakest. The strength of High Lord is that the former is just a low-level Demon that is made step by step from Lesser Demon to Ascension. Although it is sold as more ferocious than Dreadlord, the actual Combat Strength is much weaker.

Moreover, this kind of monster with a mouth of Demon on its belly is biased towards the legal system. For Dick who is experienced in PK, it is just like a dish.

The giant Holy Light Flail flashed across the sky like a meteor. This brilliant blow not only interrupted the spell that Shivarra was chanting, but also directly knocked it to the ground. Judgment of Order has a strong stun effect, which is difficult to work on a strong guy, but for such a weakling, the blow of Dick is enough to make it unable to wake up after 1 minute.

After solving the problem of Shivarra, Dick rushed into those Lesser Demon like a wolf among sheep. He raised the knife and dropped it, raised the knife and dropped it, and the strength of Lord ensured that every strike he made could have a crushing effect, almost one sword at a time, and soon all the surrounding Demon were eliminated.

When Shivarra woke up, he saw Dick stepping on the head of a Felguard with his foot, and pulling out the blood-stained Longsword from the skull of the unlucky guy. Its subordinates were slaughtered by this sudden human being in just a minute!

This makes Shivarra Commander Anger roared, waving a long whip and a machete with both hands, and was about to rush over, but the next moment, a cunning laughter sounded, and the Demon mouth on its belly opened., a black light sprayed out to the side of Dick at an extremely fast speed. Paladin only had time to cross his arms in front of him before he was thrown away by the sudden energy attack.

Paladin rolled in embarrassment into the Elf house that had been mostly damaged. When he stood up from the smashed table, he saw a white-haired Elf in the room where Chains was and the beautiful woman Elf who was held in his arms and whose life breath was extremely weak.

The white-haired Elf was obviously stunned by Dick's unique appearance. The two of them looked at each other with four eyes. Their faces were covered with black stains from the blow just now, and Dick, who had some burns on his body, coughed slightly.

"Ahem, wait a moment, I'm going to handle some personal matters!"

As he spoke, Holy Power was poured into Longsword. The ordinary Longsword seemed to be ignited by golden flames. Burning Holy Fire also appeared outside Dick's body. This was a sign that he had really used a large amount of Holy Power.

Dick jumped out of the room like Frenzied Warrior, and his roar resounded throughout the mountain.

"Asshole! It hurts! You should die!"

1 minute and 11 seconds later, Dick carrying a deformed head of Demon walked into the room and sat down opposite the white-haired Elf. He was covered in blood and looked like a corpse collector. However, the deformed head that was smashed with great force was actually Rare Elite. Shivarra, the trophy left to Dick, is said to be a good material for making magic weapons.

Dick took out Smoking Pipe from his arms, held it in his mouth, swung a sword, and cut off the Chains that restrained Elf. With the blessing of the mysterious power given to him by Norgannon, Dick opened his mouth and spit out a series of fluent Thalassian,

"Tell me, who are you and how did you end up locked here."

The white-haired Elf rubbed his wrist and hugged the girl Elf tightly in his arms. He looked at Dick, his light green eyes filled with gratitude.

"Thank you, human being. Although I don't know who you are, please accept my gratitude. I am Jarod-Shadowsong. Elf lives in seclusion here. This is my wife Sarah Hill, those Demon took advantage of the darkness to break through the barrier I set up, and even injured Sarah Hill. If it weren't for you, we would probably... In short, thank you, human being!"

Dick opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of Violet fragrant smoke. Where the white-haired Elf didn't see it, he clenched his hands suddenly.

Jarod! It's actually Jarod!!!

The hidden Elf Sage, Ten Thousand Years Ago Demon War's Elf Commander, led the then Kaldorei Alliance Forces, and blocked Demon from the front Burning Legion General Legendary who is going on a crazy offensive, this guy... no wonder...

Dick had Doubt before. Although Jarod took his wife and lived in seclusion after War of the Ancients ended, but when Second Demon War happened, this beloved Commander, who cared about his own race, never appeared from the beginning to the end. It was not until World Tree was destroyed, Night Elf lost his immortality, and his wife became seriously ill that he returned to Darnassus.

This is undoubtedly inconsistent with his quality!

What exactly prevents Jarod from participating in Second Demon War?

Now the mystery is revealed. When Demon first invaded Ashenvale, Great Demon sent people to imprison Jarod. It was probably not until the end of the war when Demon fled in panic that Jarod found a way to regain his freedom.

As for why Demon didn't kill him.

Dick glanced at Elf who was gently wiping his wife's cheeks with a strange look. Sage, I'm afraid Archimonde is also in the camp that wants to convert Jarod into the Burning Legion. If such a Legendary's Commander really joins Burning Legion, with his outstanding war thinking, it will simply be a disaster for this world.

However, Jarod did not identify himself to Dick, so he was probably still on guard.

Dick pursed his lips. He didn't intend to expose Elf Sage's disguise just like that, but if he allowed such an excellent commander to return to Elf, Dick would not do such a stupid thing.

"Mr. Jarod, did you just say that your wife was injured?"

Dick's brows raised, he stood up, put Longsword back into the scabbard, and stretched out his hand to Jarod,

"Then, follow me back to my Camp. There is an experienced Priest there who can just treat your wife. Her condition cannot be delayed any longer."

Jarod looked at the hand extended by Dick, then looked at the knight holding Smoking Pipe with a kind face, and finally looked down at his pale wife. He gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand, and connected with Dick's hand.

A few minutes later, Young Lady, who looked nervous, and Liadrin, who had already pulled out Phoenix Sword and encouraged Holy Power, had just reached the foot of the mountain covered with Demon's corpses when they saw Dick and a white-haired Elf holding his wife walking down the hillside.

Dick hugged Jaina Young Lady who rushed over, nodded to Liadrin who breathed a sigh of relief, and then introduced,

"This is Mr. Elf, Jarod who lives here in seclusion. This is my subordinate."

Jarod nodded silently, his gaze stayed on Liadrin for a moment, and then transformed into a warm smile without any trace.

Dick is in a good mood. With the existence of Jarod, it is a sure thing to get on the line with the senior management of Elf. First Expeditionary Force has finally taken the first step.

He looked up at the sky. The dim light like night made this Jungle appear so quiet and beautiful. Just like his mood, with Jarod joining Second Demon War, this battle situation will definitely change.
