Chapter 493: The Summoning of Kalimdor and the Gold Coins

Jesse was surprised that Reliquary could detect the time of item creation through magic, but this thought quickly passed through her mind, considering that trying to identify the holder of an item through magic was far-fetched.

The elf seemed to sense Jesse’s emotions and said, "It’s surprising that a noble city destroyed thousands of years ago was still making weapons a hundred years ago. We have evidence that Eldre’Thalas’s rule may have continued to this day, Mr. Seso. Maybe that Highborne warlock is hiding in that city, allowing them to live until now."

Jesse knew this well, as many ancient scholars, even their leader Prince Tossedeline, still lived in the ruins of Dire Maul Eldre’Thalas after thousands of years.

Jesse asked, "So, is that Highborne warlock the so-called Dethmoora Darkeye?"

"It’s very likely," Rahm Flameheart said. "Apart from the magic left by the Highborne, we also sense traces of Centaur magic and subtle troll witchcraft. If this Dethmoora lady has touched it and is not the Highborne we seek, then she is either a Centaur or a troll. But, do you really believe that the reputation of a Centaur or troll warlock could spread throughout the Eastern Kingdoms?"

Rahm Flameheart made sense, it seemed they would have to go to the other continent of Kalimdor to find this Dethmoora Darkeye.

Jesse felt the trail had gone cold here, he had hoped to find this warlock, skip Mor’zul and learn more powerful demon control abilities.

How Mor’zul was connected to Dethmoora, or if his knowledge of demons was truly his own, and whether Darkeye was just an unreachable legend to him…

At that moment, the elf handed Jesse a blue box containing a dagger and said, "Mr. Seso, are you interested in visiting Kalimdor?"

Jesse was lost in thought about other things, but at the sound of those words, he looked up suddenly.

"Huh!?"

"Accept Reliquary’s offer to go to Kalimdor to investigate the Highborne, the reward will be very generous."

He took out a small pouch and handed it to Jesse. Jesse shook the pouch and felt that there was nothing inside.

Rahm said, "This is a reward for providing clues to the society, two gold coins, esteemed Mr. Seso, if you can bring back enough other evidence…"

Jesse took the pouch, wondering why there were only two gold coins in it.

"Why not send elves? They are more professional in finding magic traces, isn’t Reliquary more specialized than me?"

Rahm Flameheart admitted, "Our society has always been understaffed, this is our biggest disadvantage compared to the Explorer Association of Ironforge…just placing inspectors to gather evidence in various places has already stretched our numbers thin."

"Such exploration tasks require strong willpower and adventurous spirit, those with these qualities are often nobles from Silvermoon City, who are not interested in gold coins… However, we will try to communicate with General Sylvanas Windrunner, to find a Farstrider ranger with qualifications in investigating magic traces to work with you."

Hearing about the Farstrider ranger, Jesse’s eyes lit up.

When Jesse saw the elf’s reaction, the elf blinked and said, "But it shouldn’t be Mrs. Vereesa Windrunner."

"Why?" Jesse asked.

The elf awkwardly smiled and said, "The king is a little concerned about your relationship."

Jesse took a deep breath, sighed, and asked, "How much can you offer?"

"Is Mr. Seso looking for money or something else in return?"

"Money."

"If you return empty-handed from Kalimdor, ten gold coins guaranteed not to have you and your companions lose the travel expenses; if you find relevant clues, like this dagger, at least twenty gold coins; if you find three or more related clues and provide them to the Reliquary, sixty gold coins."

"What about bringing her back in person?" Jesse asked.

The elf said, "Bringing her back in person… I don’t know. The council has not considered this possibility, nor have they informed me how much they would offer if you could bring her back. I can’t give you an immediate answer, Mr. Seso, but it will definitely be over a hundred gold coins, no, definitely more, much more. You have to understand, she is a Highborne. If you bring back such a target alive, this…"

He couldn’t help but smile and said, "She is a noble Kaldorei who has lived for over ten thousand years. Maybe she once served Queen Azshara personally, witnessed the invasion of demons, even saw the magic eye inside the dark Titan Sargeras portal, and experienced terrifying cataclysms… You know, even the eternal Sun King has only ruled Quel’Thalas for four thousand years, Mr. Seso. You are a very powerful shadow mage, and the whole Quel’Thalas kingdom does not doubt this, but I think you should not overexert yourself."

Jesse said, "I was just asking about different situations."

Rahm nodded and said, "I understand, and I must remind you that this is the total reward. If you are planning to depart with a team of several people, you will need to negotiate how to split the money."

"So, the Farstriders you arranged for us also need to split the money?" Jesse asked.

"You definitely need to discuss this with him or her," the elf said.

"Let me think about it, and I will get back to you, okay?" Jesse asked.

"Of course, I will wait here for your message, Mr. Seso," Rahm Flameheart lightly bowed and left the garden.

Jesse sat on a delicate stone bench, watching the messenger’s silhouette, feeling like the elf Farstriders assigned to them was like a thorn stuck in his hand that he couldn’t remove.

Because without the elf, he could not guarantee accurate tracking of magical traces. He didn’t have that ability.

If you want to hire some magical soldiers outside, it’s better to go with the reliable Farstriders given by the Reliquary. They are loyal to the Sunstrider royal family and won’t cause any big trouble.

So, Jesse needs to find Greed and give him some money. If Greed doesn’t want to go, Jesse doesn’t want to take a long and dangerous trip with a stranger either.

Especially not to share money with a stranger.

Then Jesse plans to write a letter to Vereesa, asking about the situation within the Farstriders and what kind of magical beings they are looking to hire.

By the way, did Greed come back yet?

Jesse has to go to the Dwarven District to check.
