I traveled through time and space and became the Archbishop of Stormwind!

The carriage drove along the winding roads of the Alterac Mountains, and the scenery around it was picturesque.

The towering pine trees swayed gently in the breeze, and the mountain mist was like a veil, covering the entire mountain range.

The mountains in the distance glowed golden in the morning light, and the river meandered through the valley, making a gurgling sound.

The air here is fresh and cold, as if you can feel the purity of nature with every breath.

Malocks sat in front of the carriage, holding the reins with a firm look in his eyes.

He introduced them to Alvin and Valeera while driving.

"During the Second War, the orcish army once passed through these passes in an attempt to capture Lordaeron. They used the map provided by Aiden Perenolde, the traitor of Alterac, and took advantage of the mountain terrain to avoid the main force of the Alliance, successfully raiding several important strongholds."

He continued, "Although these passes are narrow and easy to defend, King Alterac betrayed the Alliance and left them undefended. What should have been an orc cemetery became an excellent passage for their march. They marched at night, using the mountain mists for cover, and eventually, they engaged the Alliance in a fierce battle at the capital of Lordaeron."

Alvin and Valeera listened intently, as if they saw the tragic scene of the battle.

The carriage carried the three of them on their way. Alyssa originally wanted to go with them, but her father did not agree to her being away from home for too long, so she had to stay at home in the end. She should be angry at home now.

On the way, Mylox introduced to the two the origin of Ravenholdt Manor and the character of Jorachi.

"Ravenholdt Manor is hidden in the mountains southeast of the Alterac Mountains. To outsiders, we are extremely mysterious. It was once an ordinary manor, but under the leadership of the assassin king, Duke Jorazzi Ravenholdt, it gradually became a gathering place for assassins."

He continued, "Jorachi Ravenholdt, well, he's an extremely complex character. Rather than being an assassin, he's more of a shrewd strategist. His vision is always so sharp, as if he can see through all lies and disguises."

Mylox's voice was filled with awe. "Jorac is a natural leader. His assassins are both in awe and loyal to him. Our assassin network spans the world. He knows everything."

Alvin and Valeera looked at each other. This was exactly what they had expected.

Soon, the mountain road became more and more difficult to walk on, and the carriage could no longer move forward. Malocks asked the two men to get off, untied the horses himself, patted their butts, and the two horses ran away happily to find food.

He turned around and said to the two of them, "From now on we have to walk on our own."

Mylox led the two of them through many twists and turns in the mountains. When Alvin was almost exhausted, the elf said softly, "We're here."

To be honest, Alvin was completely confused. He had no idea how he got here. He only remembered that the road was very difficult to walk on. If he were asked to go out and walk it again, he felt that he would definitely not be able to find his way back.

As they walked out of the woods, a majestic manor appeared before them.

The manor is very large. There is a semicircular garden at the entrance. In the middle of the garden is a pond with lotus flowers in it. Behind it is the main entrance of the manor. Two people wearing leather armor and masks are standing at the door.

Seeing Malocks appear with two strangers, one of the guards stepped forward and asked.

Mylox whispered about Alvin to the two men. The two gatekeepers talked to Mylox in a low voice while looking up at Alvin and Valeera.

Soon, one of the gatekeepers entered the manor and Mylox came back.

"They've gone to make the announcement. We have to wait a while, and we should be receiving an audience with Qiao Laqi."

Soon, the man came back and nodded to Alvin and others.

"Go in, the Duke is waiting for you inside. He already knows you are coming."

They looked at each other and walked into the manor.

The interior of the manor is like a rich person's villa in the countryside, built to be both comfortable and warm. If it weren't for the constant sight of people wearing masks and leather armor walking around, Alvin would never have thought that such a place had anything to do with the Assassin's League.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the reception room.

Malocks pushed open the door and walked in first.

"Welcome, dear Mr. Alvin Priest and Ms. Valeera Sanguinar. I am Jorachi Ravenholdt, and I have been waiting for you."

A middle-aged man's voice sounded, and Alvin looked in the direction of the voice. A strong man with silver hair was standing in the living room, smiling at him.

Alvin asked curiously, "Did you know I would come to see you?"

"Elvin Priest, the recently rising star of Lordaeron, the miracle priest, the spokesperson of the Holy Light, the savior of Silverpine Forest, and the noble son of the Prestor family, right?" the middle-aged man nodded.

When Alvin heard such a long name, an embarrassed expression appeared on his face.

"Actually, these titles were basically given to me by others. I didn't say them myself. Do you know why I'm here?"

"I guess it's because—Duke Fakures, or the leader of the syndicate, you want to find him."

"How did you know?"

"I naturally have my own channels."

"Then can you tell me?"

"Of course, you saved our people. Moreover, Duke Fakures is also our enemy. We have been fighting for many years."

"Aren't you going to ask why I want to find them?"

"I believe it's related to the recent troop buildup in Tarren Mill. Given your position, you're probably heavily involved. However, judging from your actions, you don't want to see war between the two countries. So, you must have reached some kind of deal with someone, and the content of that deal might be related to the Syndicate."

Alvin nodded. This man had strong analytical and reasoning abilities, and he guessed most of the important points accurately.

However, he did not dare to tell Jorachi Ravenhodming about the identity of the Black Dragon.

"As you expected, I need to know the location of Duke Fakures." Alvin looked into the middle-aged man's eyes and said firmly.

Jorachi Ravenholdt smiled slightly and nodded, a deep light flashing in his eyes.

"Duke Falcres is hiding in the sewers of the capital of the Kingdom of Alterac. The city's underground waterways are intricate and complex, and the Syndicate has transformed it into an easily defended fortress, teeming with bandits and thieves they've recruited from all over the place. And their leader, Duke Falcres, is hiding in those filthy sewers."

"Thank you, Lord Qiao Laqi." Alvin nodded to show that he understood.

"Lord Qiao Laqi, I have a request. After this matter is over, I would like to stay in the manor and learn more about the ways of the assassin."

At this time, Valeera stood up and pleaded.

Qiao Laqi looked at her with a smile and nodded.

"Of course, Valeera. You will learn a lot here."

Valeera nodded, her eyes filled with gratitude.

She looked at Alvin with a smug smile on her face.

"Thank you, Lord Joracci. Your help means a lot to us."

Alvin bowed deeply and spoke sincerely.

"As much as I'd like to have you guys over for dinner, there's something urgent that I think you'd be interested in hearing about."

Jorachi Ravenholdt said, "According to my intelligence, we all underestimated him. Duke Falkress is very cunning. He took advantage of the imprisonment of the King of Alterac and the vacancy of the throne to launch a rebellion. His goal is to eliminate the Alterac royal family and seize the throne."
