Chapter 491: Only the Last Materials Remaining

After having a meal with Aubergine’s group in Goldshire, Erlan, Surena, and Jesse parted ways. They went back to Stormwind on different days with demon materials to sell, so as not to attract too much attention.

Although trading demon materials is not prohibited in Stormwind, it would still be too bold for the three of them to walk into the Mage Quarter with a large pile of demon materials and enter The Slaughtered Lamb openly.

They agreed to meet in the basement, and on the day of the gathering, they took out everything and laid it out on the floor. They just needed to wait for Jalane Ayrole to come so they could organize the materials needed for making the robe.

As winter arrived, the temperature dropped quickly, and Surena was shivering in the basement.

"Should we light a fire?" she couldn’t help but ask.

"It might affect the things on these demons, Surena. Should I get you another cloak to keep you warm?" Erlan asked.

"Let’s leave it for now," Surena said helplessly.

Jesse looked at the different colored and textured demon skins with various runes arranged on the ground, and asked Erlan next to him, "These things could fetch a good price. How are we going to split the money later?"

"They will definitely sell for a good price," Erlan said. "But it’s okay, as long as we take a little less for our share, I will make up the difference and make sure each of the four of them gets their fair share, after all, we three can discuss it among ourselves."

While the three of them were sorting through the Felcloth found on the Demon Guard, Jalane was coming down from the passage and saw rows of Demonic Runes laid out on the floor, asking in amazement, "Are all these ours?"

Erlan said, "Take out your recipe, Jesse mentioned there are some patterns on it. Match those patterns to pick out the materials needed for the robe. I will take the rest to sell. Let’s get to work quickly, it’s freezing cold in here."

Jalane nodded, took out the original Language Orcish text of the recipe, turned to the page of Demonic Rune, and everyone went to look at the materials found together.

According to the picture drawn on the recipe, making this robe requires a total of two runes.

None of the runes on the Demon Guard’s skin were correct, but all two runes were found on the Mageweave on the Doomguard.

"Indeed, the Orc Warlock leaders of the Shadow Council do love good things," Erlan said helplessly. "I wonder how much this demon skin with these two symbols can be sold for."

Saenor immediately said, "It’s not because the Doomguard is higher rank than the Demon Guard, but because the Doomguard are better at casting spells, human! The demonic runes on them, many of them enhance shadow magic, or strengthen shadow resistance, and so on, are more relevant to the robes that warlocks wear!"

"So why don’t Orcs go for the Mageweave on Eredar?" Jesse asked.

"They simply can’t afford to provoke the Eredar, right?" Surena said.

"No," Saenor said, "Eredar wizards are simply too proud to use these Demonic Runes to enhance their own magic. They consider it an insult to their magical talents! Only the Eredar Warriors would use the power of other demons’ Mageweave to strengthen themselves!"

"Eredar Warriors?" Erlan asked in surprise. "Aren’t they all mages?"

"You know little about Eredar…" Saenor said. "There are many Eredar Warriors in the Burning Legion! They can even be the vanguard. Maybe you haven’t seen the fearsome Eredar Wrathguard, who are even scarier than Demon Guards. Their armor is covered with strengthened Mageweave!"

"Eredar enjoy fighting." Molofeel held Cataclysm’s Edge and said, "But compared to other demons in the Twisting Nether, their bodies are not strong. Eredar Warriors, enhanced with various magics, are just the result of this proud race trying to prove that they surpass other races in every aspect."

"Have you ever fought Eredar?" Jesse asked.

Molofeel replied, "I once had a master who wanted me to test the combat strength of one of his sisters, a powerful Eredar Doommaid with double wings. I was easily defeated by her and then cruelly killed. Luckily, the battle took place far from the Twisting Nether, so I was not completely destroyed…"

There was silence in the basement. For Surena and Erlan, Molofeel’s casual mention of his previous killing experience was both strange and uncomfortable.

"So, what else do we need now?" Jesse asked Jalane.

"Essence of Undeath," Jalane said. "I can’t get that."

"What about Essence of Fire?"

"Zardeth said he can get it at a cheap price from the dwarfs," Jalane said. "I’m not sure of the exact amount, but I think it would be much easier to obtain the Essence of Fire from the Dark Iron Dwarves than from our area."

Jesse nodded, realizing that Zardeth might find it easier to get the Essence of Fire from Shadowforge City compared to goblins searching in Kalimdor.

It was uncertain what price Zardeth would offer for it. If he wanted the robe for himself, he would have to pay for it.

"We only need the Essence of Undeath to complete the Shadow Council Orc Warlock robe," Erlan confirmed. "The robe worn by the Orc Warlock we encountered in the forest may be from the Shadow Council, but we are not sure."

"You encountered an Orc Warlock in the forest?" asked Jalane.

"Yes," replied Surena. "He also summoned a Demon Guard, but we don’t know the incantation to summon it."

"Unfortunately, we were too far away when the Orc was chanting the spell. His voice was too faint, and we couldn’t hear anything clearly," Jesse explained.

"Are you planning to summon a Demon Guard in our basement now?" Erlan raised his head and said, "I’m not even sure if our basement is strong enough to contain such a creature."

Erlan was right. Summoning a Demon Guard openly in Stormwind would be too dangerous. If we couldn’t control it and it escaped from the basement, it would be a disaster. None of our doors, locks, or barriers could stop such a violent being.

It’s too early to think about summoning a Demon Guard now since we don’t even know the incantation or the requirements for the summoning ritual.

Just by watching the Orc Warlock cast his spell, summoning a Demon Guard seemed easy for him. But what’s easy for him may not be as simple for the other warlocks here.

Jesse looked at the tailor and said, "I have a way to get the Essence of Undeath now, Jalane. But we might have to wait a bit longer, so don’t worry."
