"Is this the ruins of Wickburg?" asked Serent, pointing to the ruins not far away. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"It's here, I came here a long time ago when I was on a tour. Leni said, looking around.

At this time, they were on a lonely mountain on the edge of the lofty mountains in the northern part of the Warcraft Forest, which was still in the area of the Warcraft Forest, but it was not far from the northern mountains of the continent. Judging by the remaining ruins, Fort Wico was built on the top of the Lonely Mountain. According to the secret history of the blood clan, the Heyday of the Wick Fort covered an area of tens of kilometers, and the tallest building tower was hundreds of meters high, at this scale, it is obvious that the entire Lonely Mountain was part of the castle.

However, at this time, the Wick Fort was long gone, and only a few thick ancient walls and vaguely recognizable once gorgeous and magnificent broken pillars still stand, telling the future generations of its former glory.

They arrived at a very unfortunate time, it was nightfall, the sun had already set, and the red and blue moons had just risen on either side of the horizon, and the dim light made the ruins exude a chilling desolation and loneliness.

This is worthy of being the base camp of the blood clan, the rare bats in the Warcraft Forest haunt here in groups, the bats that are startled by them from time to time occasionally pass by them, and the hard bat hairs occasionally rub against the exposed skin, making their cold hairs stand up involuntarily.

"Don't the bats here hibernate?" complained Silent, who had goosebumps from a bat again. According to the continental calendar, it has already entered the early winter season at this time, not to mention that this is already the extreme north of the continent, and creatures with hibernation periods like bats should not have been haunted in such a cold day for a long time.

"Maybe it's because there's something special about it? Anyway, the last time I was here, it was the coldest time of the year, and even then there was a lot of bat activity. Leni's face darkened, and it was clear that the memories she had left at the time were not very good.

"Wouldn't the vampire bats we had last encounter be here?" Sellant asked a question that made Leni frown. When they were in the Demon Lion Ridge, because the old lion was extremely irritable and kept interrupting them, they didn't have time to report the reappearance of the vampire demon bat. However, since the old lion even knows everything about the imperial capital thousands of miles away, presumably the matter of the vampire demon bat should also be in his control.

"It would be better if it was here too, just before it evolves further!" Leni waved a whirlwind spell around her and Celent so that no bad bats would crash into them again.

"Have you figured out a way to deal with its spatial magic?" asked Celent curiously, in fact, if it weren't for the vampire bat's unexpected ability to use spatial magic, I'm afraid it would have been solved by the two of them last time.

"You'll know when the time comes. Leni glanced at Celent with a slight annoyance, obviously slightly dissatisfied with his straightforward revelations.

Sellent stuck out his tongue, not knowing if it was a delusion, he felt that Leni seemed to have been infected by the old lion's violent temper, and had become extremely irritable since leaving the Demon Lion Ridge.

"The Exploration of the Wind. Leni suppressed her inexplicable irritability and began to chant the spell of probing spells. Although it is easy to say, in the current environment, if a vampire demon bat that can use space spells launches a sneak attack, Leni is not completely sure that he will be able to dodge it, not to mention that Celent is simply a huge weakness and burden in a battle of this level.

With Lennie's chanting, a transparent map appeared out of thin air, and not far from the point of light that represented them on the map, a fiery red bright spot kept flickering, although in fact, the exploration of the wind could not show the heat of the target, but the rumor that the fiery red was so loud that Leni and Celent couldn't help but feel a heat.

"Vampire bats?" asked Celrant. He remembered that when he first encountered the vampire bat, Wind Exploration revealed a red point of light.

"Not really. Leni immediately denied that the point of light that represented the vampire bats at the time was an eerie blood-red color, and now this one was a vivid fiery red. Celent may not know much about it, but Leni knows very well that this subtle difference could never represent something of the same attribute, unless the vampire bat has absorbed something that has caused its attributes to change drastically in just a few days.

"Looking at that location, it seems that it should be that direction?" Celent judged the position, summoning a ball of holy light and flying towards the largest remaining city wall. If his calculations were correct, the fiery red dots that appeared on the Wind Quest should represent something at the foot of that wall. Perhaps affected by this gloomy environment, he couldn't wait to make a little light to dispel the uneasiness caused by this gloom.

"Selent, you're being reckless. Leni didn't have time to stop Serent, so she quickly pulled him behind a pile of rubble in the rubble and hid him.

The speed of the Holy Light Orb was not very fast, and after Lenee pulled Celent to hide, she flew slowly to the foot of the city wall. Under the faint light of the Holy Light Sphere, they vaguely noticed that there seemed to be a figure shaking in the pile of rubble under the city wall.

"Thanks, can you make it brighter!" Before they could see what it was, the figure felt the light from behind it, and let out a rough sound. After a while, the figure seemed to react suddenly, jumped up from the ground, clenched the "weapon" in his hand, turned around, and vigilantly looked at the direction where the Holy Light Ball flew and shouted, "Who is it? Who wants to sneak attack Lord Barnett!"

Then the light from the orb of light came out, and Leni and Celent saw that the figure was actually a dwarf. Leni wondered what attracted this dwarf to come here after most of them had gone into seclusion after the Great War?

The brown-skinned dwarf had short, messy fiery red hair, and his dusty face was covered with finger marks, making it impossible to tell how old he was. The dwarf was dressed in patched overalls, and had an air of alcohol that could only be found by old drunkards.

The only thing that surprised them a little was that this raunchy-looking dwarf had a big beard that was also fiery red, but it was unusually neatly groomed, carefully combed into three thick braids.

"Hello. We're not trying to sneak up on you. Lenny breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the fiery red dot represented a dwarf. Although dwarves are known for their stubbornness and fiery tempers, they are also known for their straightforwardness and candour.

"An ogre and a human? This is not an ideal expedition combination!Tell me, what are you venturing here for?" asked the dwarf who had already walked up to them, not letting his guard down, waving his "weapon".

It was then that Celent noticed that the weapon in the dwarf's hand was nothing more than a pickaxe for digging.
