"Lord, after I finish handling the affairs at home, I will return directly to Covenant City." When Aaron left, Illucia looked exhausted. Although there were no other accidents during this day, she was very busy.
First of all, the few remaining servants of the Barov Family have proposed to resign. They didn't feel anything when they were under mental control before. Now these servants are deeply aware of the dangers of the Barov Family Castle. After confirming that they will not become monsters like other companions, they no longer want to stay here.
At the same time, Illucia's parents and brothers also had some mental problems. It may be the sequelae of being mentally suggestive by Dreadlord, or it may be a stress reaction caused by excessive stimulation. In short, it is Barov 0 Except for Illucia herself, all the family had abnormal reactions to varying degrees. She had to deal with the servants' problems and take care of her own family at the same time. Even a smart and capable person like Illucia felt in a hurry.
To make matters worse, the lake water pouring in from the castle basement has eroded the foundation of the castle. This castle with a long history that can even be traced back to the Arathi Empire era is threatening to become a dangerous building. Moreover, the erosion of the water flow has gradually expanded the hole that was originally blocked by Aaron with boulders. Undead in the water may emerge from it at any time and bring danger to the Barov Family.
In the end, Illucia decided to move the whole family out of the castle and temporarily live in a room outside the castle that was not commonly used. As for the castle itself, all the doors and windows inside and outside were closed tightly. Currently, there was a shortage of manpower, so this was the only way to deal with it.
However, Barov Family still has some sporadic territory in other places, so there is no need to worry about not having a place to stay. It's just that the family's mental state makes Illucia uneasy, so he doesn't plan to move away for the time being.
After watching Aaron and Vereesa leave on the gryphon, Illucia sighed and looked at his parents and brothers. The mental state of the four of them was not stable. If there were not two old servants who were loyal enough to the Barov Family, Illucia would not have the confidence to take care of his family.
"You are really asking for trouble." Illucia said as he looked at his father. Although Alex did not say it clearly in the letter, Illucia could guess what the two were thinking based on his understanding of his parents.
At the beginning, Barov and his wife definitely wanted to rely on the power of Cult of the Damned to regain the lost territory. This was reflected in the letter between them and Illucia. This was vaguely reflected in the previous transactions, but all the things happening now have made Barov Family even unable to keep its existing territory. Terenas will not let go of any opportunity to expand its territory.
Thinking about it at Illucia, my parents probably had mental problems because they thought about the terrible consequences, right?
"If I had known this, why bother in the first place." Although Illucia said so, he still had to take care of his family. The only thing to be thankful for was that they all survived. Illucia believed that if he had not come back in time, his parents and brothers would probably fall into the same situation as those Undead-turned servants.
No, even if he comes back, I'm afraid he won't be the opponent of those Undead. Illucia thought so and looked up to the south. The people who helped Barov Family avoid the worst fate were in that direction.
"I wish you all the best, Aaron... Lord." Illucia murmured, then turned around and continued to take care of his family.
But in a place where Illucia couldn't see, Aaron, who was riding on the back of a griffon, found that he was actually surrounded. Surrounded by a group of dwarves riding griffons, these dwarves looked well-trained. Although there were many people, they cooperated with each other very well. The griffins circled Aaron in the middle, but always maintained a safe distance between each other.
One second Aaron thought everything was normal, but the next second he was surrounded by a large group of Gryphon Rider in the center. After reacting, Aaron and the others were already surrounded by Gryphon Rider.
"This is...Wildhammer Dwarves?" Aaron patted his forehead and finally remembered. To the south of Caer Darrow is Aerie Peak. Wildhammer Dwarves's new home is here. No wonder there are so many Gryphon Rider.
"I am Aaron, and I am friends with Falstad, not your enemy." Aaron noticed that these Gryphon Rider seemed to be a little hostile to him, but did not know the reason, and hurriedly identified himself to avoid conflict with them.
"Aaron? Is it that Aaron?"
"Who knows, don't all humans look similar?"
"Look, there is another elf, right?"
"That's right, elves don't stay with those people."
Although the Gryphon Riders cooperated with each other tacitly, they obviously lacked a commander. After Aaron showed that he was not hostile, no one of these Wildhammer Dwarvess paid attention to him. They chatted to themselves. A group of Wildhammer Dwarvess who had no control over their loud voices was a disaster. Aaron and Vereesa, who were surrounded in the middle, already had a headache.
Although Aaron captured a few keywords from it, he had no time to react and had to shout quickly, "I have something to do with Falstad. Can any of you inform me?"
Only then did Wildhammer Dwarves react. Several Gryphon Rider broke away from the team and flew directly in the direction of Aerie Peak. However, the remaining people still maintained a tight encirclement formation. Aaron was scratching his head for a while. Isn't the relationship between Wildhammer Dwarves and humans pretty good? Why does he look so hostile now?
What's even more unfortunate is that these Wildhammer Dwarves like to shout up and down in the air at the top of their lungs, but they don't have any consciousness yet. This is a disaster for Aaron and Vereesa.
It wasn't until Falstad, who came after hearing the news, flew here on a griffin that he helped Aaron and the others out of the siege. Falstad enthusiastically led the two of them forward. Go to Wildhammer Keep and chat with the two of them. "Miss Vereesa, boy Aaron, why are you here Aerie Peak?"
"Of course I have something to ask you about." Aaron was still a little dizzy at the moment, and after hearing Falstad's inquiry, he reacted for a while, "A group of monsters came from the north. I would like to ask you and your tribe to help find traces of those monsters?"
"Monster? What kind of monster?" Falstad didn't dare to be careless after hearing this, "Is it Orcs?"
"No, it's Undead." Aaron didn't know if Falstad had heard of Northrend, so he could only explain in detail what Undead was and the origin of those Undead.
"It turned out to be a group of moving skeletons and rotten meat. It sounds a bit disgusting. I really don't know what kind of monster would organize an army of dead people." Falstad generally understood what Aaron said. He immediately patted his chest and said to Aaron confidently, "I will arrange for people to find those monsters. Don't worry, no matter how many monsters come, we can make them come back."
