Journey to Azeroth

Chapter 144 Mission Rewards
The corpse on the ground has not decomposed yet, and Karl judges that it is a corpse that has just died. In this ancient castle that has been closed for more than 200 years, it is self-evident what a few fresh corpses represent. In the recent period of time, everyone except Karl Besides, the only one who has been here is the adventure team of the grandson of the old mayor.

John Gavin is the grandson of the old mayor of Nanhai Town, and he is also the best one. He is already a powerful fighter when he is less than 20 years old. I don’t know if it’s because of his natural lack of tendons, or because he has been a fighter for more than ten years. The training had made him wreck his brain.

Anyway, this guy led a small group of adventurers to explore the frightened Midas Castle, looking for the legendary Midas treasure.

Carl endured the smell of corpses, squatted down, and checked. There were three corpses on the ground, and John Gavin was not one of them.

In the pocket of a corpse, Karl found an adventure employment contract. The signature at the end of the contract confirmed Karl's conjecture that the three corpses were members of John Gavin's adventure team.

"Cauley!" Carl interrupted Cowley, who was immersed in the pile of gold coins, loudly, "Everyone come and have a look!"

Cowley frowned, and began to check on the ground. His rich tracking and adventure career has created Cowley's superb tracking talent,
After more than ten minutes of careful inspection by Cowley, he quickly came to a conclusion. The conclusion surprised Karl. These adventurers did not die at the hands of demons or undead, but died in the team fighting.

The specific reason is unknown, but what is certain is that it must be a problem with the distribution of loot. The huge wealth in the secret room activated their greedy desires. In order to monopolize the wealth, they brandished their weapons and killed the teammates who had fought together.

"here!"

At this time, Cowley had already left the secret room and came to the altar room. He squatted on the ground, staring closely at a red mark on the ground, and said excitedly, "There is another survivor, this is the survivor." The blood on the victim's body, looking at the direction, should go to the deepest part of the cave."

Several people returned to the secret room again, and Carl took out a brand new magic bag and threw it to Cowley, "Put it in first, and divide it later."

There were several weapons on the weapon rack by the wall, a one-handed heavy axe, a one-handed dagger, and what surprised Karl the most was a staff.

The shape of the staff left a deep impression on Karl. The dark brown wooden staff is inlaid with an arcane crystal at the top, and four slightly smaller arcane crystals surround the arcane crystal.

Carl picked up the staff and found that the surroundings of the staff were covered with anti-corrosion grease. It seems that the Midas family has put a lot of effort into preserving these weapons, so that these weapons will not be damaged after 200 years and can still be used. .

As Karl input magic power, arcane runes surrounded Karl, purple arcane brilliance flickered on the top of the staff, and a stream of magic power was fed back into Karl's hand from the arcane crystal.

The excellent Jordan staff is the best among Dalaran's standard staffs. Arcane runes can increase the power of spells, and arcane crystals can provide magic power to users. The white short sword was thrown to Cowley, and the one-handed heavy ax was passed to Black.

Cowley followed the bloodstains on the ground, and soon found a secret room leading to a deeper place in a depression hidden in the shadows. Cowley couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

Immediately attracting everyone's attention, they briefly discussed and decided to follow the blood and continue to explore.

The passage deep into the ground is not too long, and there are no monsters to harass, but everyone is not happy about it. On the contrary, everyone feels the depression in the air, and there is a feeling that a storm is coming, as if there is something powerful ahead. A monster is waiting for them, the darkness ahead seems like a monster that devours everything, waiting for everyone to jump into it.

Not long after, Blake, who was walking in the front, suddenly noticed a light ahead, stopped and whispered, "There is a light ahead."

You can't see your fingers in the passage, and Black stopped very abruptly. Cauley, who was following him, was caught off guard and bumped into Black. Carl didn't have time to stop and slammed into Cauley. Then Li Ya and Carol.

Especially Carol, this guy was carrying a warhammer that weighed tens of kilograms, and he was wearing thick plate armor, which brought a huge impact and pushed everyone forward fiercely.

Black, who was at the front, was also pushed out by a powerful thrust.

It happened that everyone was going downhill, and the people who lost control pushed each other and rolled down the slope.

"Oops, my head!"

"Damn! Which bastard is it!"

"Wow!"

"Help!"

"Hate it, stay away from me."

After the crowd rolled down for a few minutes, they hit the wall of the rock circle and stopped, accompanied by another burst of screams.

Carl was thrown in a mess, as if his internal organs had been displaced, and one of his ribs hurt badly. Fortunately, the ribs did not break.

Black struggled to sit up, looked into the darkness ahead, and whispered to everyone, "Shhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"The front is a black hall, with several pillars on both sides, a magic circle in the middle, and a cloud of black gas."

Karl nodded, stood up and led everyone carefully into the black hall.

This hall is somewhat similar to the hall of the altar, except that the altar in the middle is replaced by a magic circle, behind which is a strange symbol, and several red gemstones are inlaid on the six pillars.

As Black said, there is a mass of rolling black gas in the center of the hall. The gas is filled with a heavier darkness, and black electric lights are flickering. The strange thing is that it does not make a sound.

"My daughter, is that you? You have finally come to see your father!" A deep voice came from the black air.

"No, you are strangers, liars!" The black air didn't give them a chance to speak, and the hall was full of light, as if it wanted to tear everyone apart.

"We are not liars."

"Of course you are not liars, you are cunning adventurers!" The black gas began to roll violently, carrying the wrath of will.

"We are not liars, except for that cunning mage," Carol yelled loudly at the shadow at the end of the line.

A thunderous voice sounded in the hall: "You have looted the treasure of the Midas family!"

"You have to pay for your actions!!"

The black air began to shrink violently, revealing a figure hidden in the shadows. It was a sorcerer who couldn't see his face clearly. He was wearing a tattered black robe. The skin and muscles on his body were shriveled and stuck to the bones. His eyes shone with a dazzling blue light, making him look very scary.

"Adventurer?" He looked at everyone contemptuously.

"Yes." Carl stepped forward to block the crowd, his deep voice echoed in the cave, "This is the reward Miss Sandy promised us."

Carl took out the blood-red demon parchment from his pocket, and continued: "The curse on it has disappeared. Miss Sandy has got rid of the 200-year curse and left."
