I have one more World of Warcraft Necromancer than you

Vincent led the way; Shadowfang Castle was built on a cliff in the mountains, and there was only one road.

Lorraine followed cautiously, glancing frequently at the bushes on either side of the road for any danger. He had already activated his senses to the maximum.

The teacher helped him sense various life fluctuations.

......

A fierce battle raged down the mountain, while red lights shot skyward from the direction of Thurbercher.

A surge of magical energy emanated from the sky above Ambermill, opposite Shadowfang Keep.

The battle was undeniably fierce.

......

Ambermill doesn't have the protective shield of Dalaran, nor the treacherous terrain of Shadowfang Keep.

Easy to attack, difficult to defend.

A large number of Dalaran mage apprentices gathered there, considering themselves elites capable of taking on a hundred men each.

The human wall erected around Ambermill Manor means that any wild beast or undead that approaches will only meet its demise...

The force attacking them this time was the Queen's elite troops; ten ordinary mages might not be able to defeat a single soldier from the Death Hand Legion.

The fall of the entire Ambermir was inevitable...

It's unclear why the situation seems to be at a stalemate, with the entire Undercity army tied up.

Shadowfang Keep was quiet and still, as if the commotion outside had nothing to do with it...

......

Not only did they find no trace of the enemy in Lorraine, but they also found no guards or watchtowers...

The road leading to Shadowfang Castle is lined with flowers.

Bathed in the soft moonlight, a rich fragrance wafted in the gentle breeze...

Lorraine vaguely thought they were going to a nobleman's summer estate...

......

The neatly carved stone slabs along the road, the well-maintained streetlights and signs, all showcase the taste and refinement of the original owner of Shadowfang Castle...

The two climbed up the welcoming avenue to the castle gate halfway up the mountain.

There was a narrow walkway in front of the gate, with a suspension bridge across it. At this moment, the suspension bridge was lowered naturally, and the gate was wide open...

Anyone is welcome to visit anytime...

It's a bit strange.

......

Shadowfang Keep is a military fortress. Is it just opening its gates wide open, playing the empty city trick?

......

"Come quick, the gate's open. Perfect timing!"

"Wait, something's not right."

......

"Sigh, you don't understand. There's another door inside this entrance; the real main door is inside."

"Is that so?"

......

"It seems so. There's another door inside, through the side door."

Only after the teacher confirmed that the undead sentinel was telling the truth did Lorraine dare to follow Vincent across the narrow drawbridge portico...

From the bridge, you can see the village of Fenmu below, and you can vaguely make out another path leading up the mountain in the valley...

Vincent had chosen this welcoming path for them on his own.

It seems that

Vincent is really familiar with the neighborhood.

It seems he didn't lie to Lorraine...

......

Lorraine is concentrating intently, with three times the focus!

He has already faced several dangers and is no longer the clueless newbie he once was...

The teacher told him that the dungeon was much more dangerous than the open world.

The enemies inside are numerous and powerful; normally, no one should venture into Shadowfang Keep alone...

......

"There are two people now, plus the teacher, that makes three! It doesn't count as one person..."

"You are not human, it is not human either, and I am even less human!"

......

"Just kidding, to ease the tension. Don't worry, teacher, I'll definitely find it with my eyes."

"Be careful. If things go wrong, run. There's no shame in it."

"Okay, teacher..."

......

The master and apprentice chatted enthusiastically, while Lorraine and Vincent outside the castle remained silent.

The two observed the castle's lookout point for a while.

Confirm that no one on the top of the castle's outer perimeter is paying attention to the drawbridge at the side gate.

They moved silently and quickly across the castle's drawbridge corridor...

He plunged headfirst into the dark doorway...

......

Upon entering the side gate of Shadowfang Keep,

really,

Although there was a platform in front, the real entrance was blocked by a steel gate weighing tens of thousands of kilograms.

......

The steel door has a hole in the middle; the entire door is made of hollow steel bars.

Through the steel bars, one can see that there is a square inside the castle gate.

The square was bustling with people; even though it was late at night, they were all gathered in small groups.

Werewolves were patrolling the square, leading black wolves.

Werewolves stood guard at several corners of the square.

......

The square inside the castle is spacious enough to offer a wide view.

As the moonlight shone down, Lorraine finally understood why there were no guards standing on the castle.

These humanoid creatures gathered in the square are all ghosts...

Only the werewolves and patrolling wolfhounds were made of flesh and blood, though they seemed somewhat delirious, standing still and glaring fiercely at their surroundings.

The reason why ghosts gather in groups of three or five is because of fear and dread.

They were confined to the plaza, only the werewolves' activities were unrestrained...

......

The situation here is the same as in Fenmu Village at the foot of the mountain.

All the humanoid creatures have turned into werewolves, leaving only ghosts filled with fear and lingering resentment...

A corpse lay in front of the iron gate.

Several giant black wolves wearing collars surrounded him, snoring softly as they slept soundly...

......

"Shh, keep quiet, come with me, I have the key to this side door..."

Vincent tiptoed around, mysteriously pulled out a key, and flashed it in front of Lorraine.

He pointed to an inconspicuous pile of clutter in the doorway, where a small wooden door was faintly visible.

"Squeak..."

The wooden door opened gently, its melodious creak echoing crisply in the quiet castle; it was unclear whether any of the guard dogs heard it.

......

Lorraine had heard from her teacher that wolves and dogs have exceptionally keen hearing, and that Arugal's Shadowfang Keep was full of his wolf pack; she had to be careful not to attract their attention...

To avoid getting stuck in the castle's narrow alleyways...

If necessary, jumping off the city wall is also an option. As long as the Blink skill is used properly, the mage will not die from the fall, although this requires practice and skill.

But life is only once, where can I practice...?

Lorraine could only pray that she wouldn't encounter the situation her teacher had described!

......

Vincent opened the door, peeked inside, turned and waved to Lorraine...

Without waiting for Lorraine's response, he went inside by himself!

......

Lorraine wanted to shout, but was afraid of disturbing the ghosts and werewolf sentries in the plaza not far from the gate...

Vengeful spirits!

The moment Lorraine saw the vengeful spirit, a longing emanated from her runic right eye...

He suppressed his unease in his right eye; his immediate priority was to find his eye.

The presence of vengeful spirits here is a good thing for Lorraine.

If they were all human soldiers, that would be a good thing...

Its trump card requires vengeful spirits and corpses!

Animals are fine too...

He paused briefly, then gritted his teeth and followed, searching for the eyes; a bloodbath seemed inevitable...

......

Eyes may not be obtained by killing enemies, so how could a teacher's eyes be on someone else's body?

Yes, it should be an item placed separately.

Or perhaps it's a gemstone resembling an eye?

It could also be a weapon, like the Eye of Dalaran or the Skull of Gul'dan!
