After hearing the sound, everyone in the camp looked towards the entrance of the camp, only to see a figure stumbling into the camp. Both the crew members and the people who originally lived in the camp showed alert expressions. It was no wonder that they were on guard. After all, everyone had been keeping a close eye on things today, and it was inevitable that they were a little too nervous.
However, the people who originally lived in the camp relaxed soon. Apparently they recognized the identity of the person coming. With the look of the local steward, a smart young man walked out of the camp and welcomed the person into the camp.
Looking at the figure of that person, Aaron couldn't help but frown. He felt a sense of familiarity from this person, as if this person was an acquaintance of his.
"This... brother, have we met somewhere before?" Looking at this middle-aged man with ragged clothes, unshaven beard and a look of embarrassment, Aaron vaguely felt as if he had seen him somewhere.
The down-and-out middle-aged man raised his head and glanced at Aaron when he heard this. Suddenly he pointed at Aaron with a trembling finger, and said with trembling lips, "It's... it's you!"
Using the bonfire in the temporary camp, Aaron looked at the middle-aged man carefully. After a while, his face showed an expression as if he had seen a ghost. "Why is it you? Master Kel'Thuzad?!"
The middle-aged man raised his head, it was none other than Master Kel'Thuzad whom Aaron had met before at Dalaran.
Talking about why he appeared in Azsuna, Kel'Thuzad couldn't help but sigh, and then began to tell Aaron about his experiences during this period. From his embarrassed look, it can be seen that Boss Kel was not very comfortable during this period.
Since meeting Aaron that day, Kel'Thuzad has rarely met someone who is willing to take his research seriously and have a good chat with him for a while. He has been kept away from other mages for a long time. Moreover, pointing fingers behind his back, he lost his arrogant attitude as the youngest master of Dalaran. At that time, Kel'Thuzad almost regarded Aaron's words as a life-saving straw.
After hearing what Aaron said about Val'kyr, Kel'Thuzad immediately decided to go to Broken Isles. This teacher who has been obsessed with studying Necromancy was very worried about this kind of thing. The upward momentum was amazing. Almost as soon as Aaron and the others left Dalaran for Lordaeron, Kel'Thuzad found Antonidas and asked for a long vacation.
At that time, Antonidas was in an extremely happy mood. He originally intended to pass the leadership position of Dalaran to Kel'Thuzad. At that time, Boss Kel could almost be said to be the most talented member of Dalaran in history. However, this young genius became obsessed with studying the evil spells of Orcs after the second war.
Antonidas once discouraged Kel'Thuzad, but young geniuses are always stubborn and proud. Although Kel'Thuzad made a decision on the surface not to study Necromancy, which was listed as taboo by Antonidas, secretly he still kept competing with those poor mice.
Although under the hint of Antonidas, none of the mages of Dalaran would openly talk about Kel'Thuzad, the reputation of this genius among the middle and lower-level mages is getting worse and worse, and this bad reputation even has a vague tendency to spread to the residents near Dalaran.
Seeing that Kel'Thuzad was willing to take the initiative to temporarily put down the chilling research he was doing, Antonidas agreed to Kel'Thuzad's request without much thought, and also silently helped Kel'Thuzad a lot when raising funds for the trip. Otherwise, with Kel'Thuzad's emotional intelligence, he might have to invest all of his wealth to make up for the trip.
After a long story, Kel'Thuzad, who was well prepared for the trip, finally boarded a guest ship to Broken Isles in Lordaeron. However, when he arrived in Broken Isles, he was shocked to learn from the pioneers who had lived in Azsuna for several years that the Vrykul people lived in the northern part of Broken Isles. In this area, some Vrykul occasionally come to Azsuna to trade with the humans here. The so-called Val'kyr is just a legend passed down by word of mouth in Vrykul. Almost no one has actually seen the goddesses who are said to lead the souls of Vrykul who died in Heroism to Halls of Valor.
"So Master, didn't you go to Stormheim?" Aaron looked at Kel'Thuzad's embarrassed appearance and asked.
Kel'Thuzad first took a big gulp of a bowl of warm kelp soup, sighed again, and continued to talk about his bad experience during this period.
Kel'Thuzad After this period of travel, the flame ignited by Aaron in his heart was extinguished a lot. He was still hesitant to go to a place where no human had ever set foot to find illusory legendary creatures. However, just a few days after he embarked on the journey, the teacher saw a strange sight that surprised him: a group of ghosts that moved freely and maintained their sanity.
"You know, when I saw that group of Undead, I was immediately attracted to them. They can obviously exist on their own for a long time. If I can figure out that they can keep that distance away, my research can definitely go further!" Kel'Thuzad's eyes were shining when he talked about this.
"Free-moving ghosts?" Aaron rang out instantly. Kel'Thuzad was talking about a group of poor people who were cursed by Queen Naga Azshara and had to maintain their Undead state for tens of thousands of years.
Aaron has already made a guess in his mind as to why Kel'Thuzad is in such an embarrassing state. "So, Master, were you beaten by those Undeads that made you look like this?"
Kel'Thuzad nodded silently, with a look of shame on his face when he talked about it. "I didn't expect that group of Undead to be so strong."
Seeing that Kel'Thuzad was delighted, he launched an attack on those Undeads without hesitation. However, what he didn't expect was that almost every one of those Undeads had the level of a mage apprentice or above.
Kel'Thuzad had just launched his first spell and was almost overwhelmed by the endless Fireball Cone of Cold and Arcane Missiles. If it weren't for being a master, Kel'Thuzad might have been left with many life-saving trump cards.
Even though it had been several days since the incident, Kel'Thuzad was still a little scared when talking about it. "I was mentally prepared before launching the attack, but I originally thought that those Undead also used shadow spells... I didn't expect..."
When he said this, Kel'Thuzad still had a sigh on his face. His past experience almost hurt him. However, after narrowly escaping, Kel'Thuzad thought about his previous experience and determined that even if he was prepared, he would not be able to deal with that group of Undead, so he chose to give up and return to the camp.
The young man who led Kel'Thuzad back just now came over at some point and said with approval, "That day, Mr. Master looked a little worse than today when he came back. Fortunately, the healing potion prepared by the master himself was effective enough."
"Master, are you still proficient in making healing potions?" Aaron glanced at Kel'Thuzad in surprise.
Kel'Thuzad nodded and said matter-of-factly, "Sometimes I need to keep my research materials alive long enough, so I need some more powerful healing potions."
"Mr. Master, what you said is quite impressive." The young man walked away as if he couldn't stand the topic.
"Haha, young people are timid." Aaron laughed dryly. He finally understood why Rhonin was so scared when he saw Kel'Thuzad before. This teacher seemed to have no idea how scary what he was doing was.
"Young man? Aren't you also..." Kel'Thuzad glanced at Aaron. Aaron looked much younger than the person just now.
"Well... it's not important." Aaron changed the topic and continued to ask, "It sounds like Master, you have suffered losses at the hands of those Undead before. Are you going to provoke them again this time?"
"Do you think I'm a fool?" Kel'Thuzad looked up at Aaron and continued, "Later, I found another Undead group nearby. They lacked mages and seemed to be easier to deal with."
