Remember [New] in a second! Lurking surrounded by a horde of ghosts is no easy feat.

The entire Black Rook Castle is filled with the power of death, and there are only two living people, Sharlayan and Valeera.

If you don't pay attention, the breath of the living will be perceived by the ghosts.

Although Sharlayan and Valeera restrained their sense of presence as much as possible, they still walked on thin ice when sneaking all the way to the Lord's Palace.

Fortunately, Garrod, who is familiar with the structure of Black Rook Castle, provided a detailed map in advance. Otherwise, God knows how long the two of them would have to wander around the castle of Noda to find the rightful owner.

Going deep into the enemy camp, the longer the delay, the easier it is to cause variables.

Except for the ghost guards standing outside the door, there are only two "people" in the entire Lord's Palace.

After sneaking in silently from the window on the top floor, Sharlayan and Valeera patiently eavesdropped on all the conversations between Lord Ravencrest and Ratusius.

Compared with those ghost soldiers who can only act according to certain rules, Lord Ravencrest obviously has a certain degree of self-awareness.

However, judging from his dull appearance when talking with Latusius, the man behind the scenes still made some restrictions on his thinking mode to avoid accidental uncontrollable situations.

There is no doubt that the awakened Lord Ravencrest was none other than Kurtalos Ravencrest himself.

But the Moon Guard leader known as Latusius... is almost certainly a fake.

There is something magical about the druid's wild transformation. It can not only transform people into animal shapes, but also imitate the characteristics of wild animals.

Sharlayan's five senses were already very keen, but after turning into a black panther, his sense of smell and hearing were further improved.

Now Sharlayan and Valeera are sneaking and hiding on the third-floor terrace of the Lord's Palace, directly below them is the Lord's Throne of Ravencrest.

Ghosts have no sense of smell, and Lord Ravencrest has never felt anything strange about Latusius beside him.

But Sharlayan smelled a strange fishy smell, a bit like the smell of sea water, but after careful identification, it seemed plausible.

'This unique fishy smell... I seem to have smelled it somewhere before. '

Sarlayan's memory is very good, and after reviewing it like a revolving lantern in his mind, he quickly found the answer.

‘By the way, Zlos, the world of withering! Hablon and Hylagal interplaying with Gorak Tul! '

Thinking of this, Sharlayan looked at Latusius with deeper eyes.

'Could it be...'

When Sarlayan informed Valeera of his guess using the soul link, he received a burst of surprise as expected.

"Death God Hela, I read this name from the information library of Backlight Blade."

"She is the God of Hell in the legend of the Vrykul. According to legend, the Vrykul who cannot ascend the Hall of Valor will be thrown into the abyss of Hell controlled by Hela after death, and will endure endless suffering and torture."

Sharlayan solemnly explained: "This is not just a legend, but a fact."

"I once had brief contact with Hela's subordinates in the Blight Realm, and those **** warriors called Helagar all had an unpleasant smell of water and grass...just like this Latusius. "

Valeera narrowed her eyes slightly, her mind spinning.

"Why did Hela fall in love with Lord Ravencrest, Vrykul is her base?"

Sharlayan said noncommittally: "Who knows, maybe that **** of death is not satisfied with the status quo that can only dominate the vrykul, and has begun to actively develop new businesses."

"Or... this is just a task from the boss behind her."

"Boss?" Valeera asked suspiciously: "Isn't Hela the God of Death? There is a higher-ranking shady behind her?"

Sharlayan also learned through the barrage that the so-called God of Death, Hela, was just someone else's pawn.

Her backstage is not in Azeroth, but in the Shadowlands, where all the dead belong.

Sharlayan: "According to what you said, before the boundary between life and death is not torn apart, the warden's black hand should not be able to reach Azeroth, right?"

[That's right, so you can do things with confidence. 】

[In order to restrain Odin and the Hall of Valor, Hela cannot leave the abyss of Hell, and can only rely on her subordinate Helagar to interfere in the material world. 】

[The highest combat power she can use is the captain of the Nagfar, Fabron. 】

Sharlayan had met Fabron before. Although this captain of Hylagal had legendary strength, he still had a certain distance compared to full-level bosses like Malfurion and Tyrande. to suffocating.

As a general under Hela, it was obviously impossible for Fabron to lower his status and pretend to be Latusius himself.

This fake with the smell of weeds is probably just one of Fabron's subordinates.

"The issue is…"

Salayan looked thoughtfully at Latusius who seemed unable to sit still for a moment, walking back and forth in the hall.

"Hela...or the boss behind her, what is the purpose of deceiving Lord Ravencrest?"

"Snatch the soul with the Shadow Realm?"

【Not impossible. 】

[The operation of the Shadow Realm is inseparable from a special kind of energy—animation. 】

[Heart energy is produced through the soul, the more major events experienced in life, the more heart energy produced. 】

[To put it simply, regardless of whether the souls that enter the Shadow Realm are superheroes or super villains, the anima they can produce are far higher than ordinary souls that have no merit or fault. 】

[And these souls are undoubtedly sought-after in the shadow world, and any party who chooses the four major covenants can quickly be reused. 】

[Kuttalos Ravencrest is a powerful soul that meets the standard of a hero, but I don’t know why he hasn’t been led to the Shadow Realm after thousands of years. 】

[These heroic souls of Black Rook Castle have all participated in the epic battle of the ancients, and have far more abundant heart energy than ordinary souls. 】

[Considering the warden's plan to exhaust the anima afterward, it is logical to reserve souls that can produce a large amount of anima in advance. 】

"The warden..."

It was not the first time Sharlayan had heard this name, but because the boundary between life and death was too far away, he hadn't paid much attention to the warden before.

"Sure enough, it's a troubled time."

Sharlayan sighed inwardly with a headache: "The Burning Legion on the chaotic side, the Old Gods on the shadow side, and now there is the warden on the death side, the attraction of Azeroth must be too great. "

"Are there any other 'surprises'? Tell me all at once. Where are the bosses on the order test, the light side, and the life side? Aren't they also staring at Azeroth?"

[Uh~ We haven't experienced the later versions yet, but... your guess has a high probability of being true. 】

[No way, who made Lori-chan so sweet? 】

【Troll Ai Jiang.jpg】

[Gan! Brother, your xp is so weird. 】

According to the barrage, once the star soul of Azeroth officially matures, it will immediately become the strongest Titan beyond Aman'Thul and Sargeras.

Excluding the order side that stands on the same front as Azeroth, that is, the Pantheon led by the Titans.

The bigwigs of the other five origins are all salivating for the immature Azeroth, and God knows when they can't help but come up and take a bite.

What? Holy Light is the incarnation of justice, wouldn't he have dirty thoughts about Azeroth?

Undead paladin warning.

In the words of the barrage, the power of light is an unscrupulous bitch, as long as your obsession is strong enough, she will respond to your expectations indiscriminately, no matter whether the obsession is positive or negative.

As for the life side... the barrage at this stage only knows that Elune is probably one of the big men on the life side~lightnovelpub.net~ The specific situation is temporarily unknown.

"Forget it, let the boss worry about these things related to the origin of the universe."

Sharlayan withdrew his wandering thoughts and looked sharply at Latusius below.

"Because of the existence of the Blight Realm, I, who was allied with Hela's rival Bwonsamdi, was born to stand against her, and if I offend her, I will offend her."

"Valeera, get ready to act, kill 'Latusius' as quickly as possible, and at least let him be in his original form in front of Lord Ravencrest."

"no problem."

Valeera pulled out the dagger silently, and Sharlayan also arched the streamlined black panther body, patiently waiting for "Latusius" to shift his attention.

After 3 minutes, the opportunity came.

The vicinity of the cemetery on the western outskirts of Black Rook Castle suddenly began to flicker with a soft silver-white light, and the fake Latusius looked up in the direction of the light as expected.

But at this moment, murderous intent suddenly appeared, and a pitch-black shadow appeared behind him without warning.
