Chapter 478: Garbage Collecting Partners
The next day at noon, the carriage arrived at Lakeshire. Jesse noticed that there were more Stormwind soldiers on this side of Lake Everstill than before, and even some troops from Quel’Thalas stationed here. He could even see the blue phoenix flag waving next to the lion flag of Stormwind in the distance.
It seems that not all the troops returned to their homelands immediately after the Dark Portal. Some soldiers are still stationed here, searching for traces of demons to prevent them from entering Elwynn or crossing over to Redridge.
At the same time, this place can also provide support to the soldiers in the Black Morass to the south.
The carriage stopped on the main street in front of the inn in Lakeshire. By this time, the sun was almost blocked by the Redridge cliffs behind the town, making the town a bit shady. Jesse kept an eye on Gacresse following Surena, worried that he might not be able to maintain invisibility due to his weakness, exposing their warlock group in public suddenly.
Fortunately, Gacresse was not an ordinary succubus. Although not good at close combat, his magic was reliable, and his invisibility was stable. Even Jesse’s Detect Demon spell couldn’t detect him as clearly as Molofeel.
The three entered the inn, Erlan glanced around and saw three people sitting in the corner.
"Dunn, Hubert, Wallis!"
Upon hearing Erlan’s shout, the three people turned to look in their direction.
"Drudgemoor! Come over here, it’s great to see you again!" A strong female dwarf with red braided hair stood up, waved, and shouted with a smile.
"Have you missed me, dear Wallis? How did you survive without me!" Erlan laughed and walked over.
Hearing Erlan’s words, the female dwarf burst into laughter. Jesse noticed a vague small shadow on the table in front of her. Could this be the Dwarf Warlock Erlan mentioned before?
The other two people are humans, so there is no doubt…
"Did Captain Aubergine not come along?" A middle-aged human with a full beard asked, with a crossbow and a bag of bolts on a pillar behind him. He wore a thick black-brown leather outfit and a heavy hood, looking like a true "demon hunter."
"He has some things to take care of in Stormwind, Dunn. He might not arrive until tomorrow morning. We can rest here for the night," Erlan said.
"Then I’ll stay with you and Surena, Erlan," Wallis said, grabbing Erlan’s shoulder.
Jesse was sitting aside. The middle-aged man named Dunn seemed to have just noticed him and asked, "Who is this?"
"Jurke," Jesse nodded and said.
"Hmm," Wallis said, "Nice to meet you, Jurke. Are you also a warlock?"
Hearing this female dwarf being called a warlock, Jesse looked around uncomfortably in the noisy tavern, where no one seemed to pay attention to what was being said here.
Plus, he was using a fake name, wearing a cloak and a hood. Even if a demon suddenly appeared, he would have enough time to escape suspicion and there was nothing to worry about.
"Yes," Jesse said.
"Not just a warlock, but the strongest warlock here," Surena said.
"Stronger than you, Surena?" Dunn asked.
"Don’t be fooled by his age…" Surena whispered, "It’s useless for me to tell you."
"You’ll see when the time comes," Erlan said.
"Nice to meet you all," Jesse said, "I will do my best to help this team."
"Welcome," the strong silent man across the table lifted his head and said, "I am Hubert, Hubert Martin Los, I can tell you are from Lordaeron, I am from Lordaeron too, I am a monk at the Holy Light Monastery."
Jesse didn’t expect the tall man with shoulder guards to be a priest, but Jesse noticed a necklace around his neck, the pendant below might be a talisman from the Holy Light Church.
The Holy Light Monastery he mentioned was actually a large cathedral occupied by the "Scarlet Crusade" formed by the remnants of Lordaeron and The Silver Hand Knights after the destruction of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, renamed as the Scarlet Monastery.
"Dunn Fairman." The black-bearded man shook hands with Jesse and said, "I am from Gilneas, soon maybe not, I come from Burnswood Village, outside the wall that the king built, you probably haven’t heard of this place."
"The barony of Baron Silverlaine," Jesse said.
Dunn in black clothes smiled and said, "Yes, that’s the place."
"Wallis Firestone." The female dwarf said, "I come from Ironforge, just like you, I am also a warlock, so we must have a lot in common."
The friendliness of the female dwarf surprised Jesse a bit, after all, Zardeth previously mentioned that Dwarf Warlocks are usually arrogant and unwilling to be friendly with human warlocks, maybe he was mostly talking about Dark Iron Dwarves, the Bronzebeard Dwarf in front of him seemed quite nice.
"By the way, can you summon a succubus, Jurke young man?" Wallis asked softly.
"Sure." Jesse said, "Actually, she’s right next to me now."
"Ah…" Wallis nodded and said, "I totally couldn’t feel it, your succubus is as good as that beautiful Gacresse at hiding herself. By the way, since you have a succubus, why not join our night gatherings? Me, Mr. Drudgemoor, Miss Caledon, and Gacresse…"
Surena quickly said, "Jurke and his succubus don’t like joining such gatherings, Wallis."
"Ah, I see, my apologies." Wallis chuckled.
Surena laughed awkwardly, looked at Jesse and said, "I’m really sorry, that day I was just drunk…so I casually mentioned the idea of you joining us, maybe Gacresse took it seriously."
Jesse shook his head and said, "It’s okay, Surena, of course I’m not unwilling to have fun with you guys, I just can’t accept like Erlan that mixing up men and women, I find it hard to see him with an incubus at such gatherings."
Of course, there are more reasons than this, Jesse just doesn’t want to make the atmosphere too tense.
Hearing this, Surena finally relaxed and said, "I see."
She smiled and said, "Jesse, just ask for anything you want to eat, this time it’s on me, consider it my apology for causing you and Ms. Molofeel so much trouble."
"Finally seeing a warlock who can be considered normal." The monk opposite looked at Jesse and nodded, saying, "Having a bit more confidence in your warlock comrades being able to truly step into the sunlight one day."
"Maybe you shouldn’t have too much faith in us, Hubert," Erlan said. "What if you trust us shady characters too much, and your Holy Light refuses to respond to you? We still need your help! It’s not easy to find a priest willing to take risks."
"Since the Holy Light has never abandoned me," Hubert picked up the hammer from the ground and placed it on the table. "But even if there comes a day when it does, as long as it responds now, it’s enough."
"I think what Drudgemoor means is healing and treating injuries, my fellow priests," Dunn said, taking a sip of wine.
"As long as the enemy dies fast enough," Jesse said, "we can prevent injuries."
Dunn almost spat out his drink, but managed to swallow it and chuckled, saying, "So can I count as half a doctor now?"
