12. Blade of the Dark Empire

Now that he had come to this point, Dick no longer hid his identity, and while attacking the weak remnants of the old gods with dwarven muskets, he generously told Kel'thugad about the history of the palace. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"It's called Tyr's Fall, and it's the tomb of Tyr, the ancient Titan guardian. ”

"Back then, Tyr ran away because of the internal conflicts of the guardians, and as a result, he was besieged by the ancient gods here, and this heroic guardian was outnumbered, but at the moment of his fall, he detonated the power of the Titan in his body, and directly killed all the ancient god servants in the battlefield, and this valley was also caused by that big explosion. ”

"Although Tyr was shattered, his brothers built a tomb here in his honor, but they also found the seriously injured and dying servant of the Old Gods Zakhaz, a powerful servant of the Old Gods, even the Titans could not completely destroy it, but could only choose to seal Zakhaz. ”

In the 20th year of the Dark Gate, at this time, the entire human world had just recovered from the war, and the mages did not have the leisure to study these ancient histories, so not only Gianna, but even Kel'thugad listened to it with relish.

And Kel'thugad is really worthy of the great lich of the future, the skeleton soldiers he made are definitely 10,000 times stronger than those trash that crumble at the touch, the skeleton warriors are in front, the skeleton mages set off a frenzy of ice and shadows, and the death knights are used as a mobile force, and once the remnants of the ancient gods who are like mutated disgusting pieces of flesh and blood break through, the death knights will rush to fill the loopholes.

So despite the huge number of enemies, the three of them still chatted unhurriedly.

"You said there was an artifact here, so what kind of artifact is it?"

Even if Kel'thugad is blind, he will no longer treat Dick as an ordinary soldier, he respects those who have unknown knowledge, which is also a common problem among mages, and Dick does not hide it at all, although in the end, they both know that they must have done it ruthlessly.

But at the moment, the cooperation between the two sides is not bad. Dick didn't want to hide too much, he looked at Kel'thugad,

"This artifact is actually a holy artifact that Twilight's hammer is frantically pursuing, do you know those madmen?"

Kel'thugad nodded,

"I've heard that this is an organization that only emerged after the Second Orc War, and they are mainly active in Kalimdor, you mean, there is still a relationship between this artifact and them?"

"No"

Dick shook his head, "I'm just saying that the Twilight Hammer will be the third victim of this dark artifact. ”

"Do you remember what I said about Zakhaz? Do you know why Zakhaz broke through the seal for 20,000 years? It is because this dark artifact has been quietly devouring its power, and only when the dark artifact enters the world, Zakhaz has a chance. ”

"This dark artifact is the remains of an ancient god, a true ancient god, one of the first five ancient gods bred in the world of Azeroth, but before it could grow up, it was devoured by the other four ancient gods, Saratas - the blade of the Dark Empire, this is the last proof of existence of the ancient god named "Saratath". ”

"It appeared three times in the present world, the first time was 10,000 years ago, when the sacrifice of the Gulabash Troll Empire obtained it, and as a result, it almost destroyed the Troll Empire, which could fight against the Elven Empire. The second time was on the eve of the Battle of the Dwarves with Three Hammers, when Mordgood, the wife of the Witch King Thorrison, obtained the artifact, which directly led to the division of the Dwarven Empire. ”

Dick turned his head to look at Kel'thugad, the expression on his face was so strange that even his tone became cold, as if he were telling a ghost story.

"The Twilighthammer has been drawn to this dark artifact, and they will soon come looking for it, Kel'thugad, are you ready to become its third master? ”

Of course, this tone was not intentional by Dick, the mark of the natural disaster had been activated by Kel'thugad, and his body was changing towards the state of an undead creature every moment, and he could even feel that his body was slowly getting colder, and even the sense of touch was much slower.

In the face of Dick's inquiry, Kel'thugad was silent for a few seconds, and then proudly walked to the hall that had been completely emptied,

"Only such an insatiable artifact is worthy of me! It will eventually become my most powerful weapon. ”

Dick shrugged his shoulders and walked into the hall after Kel'thugad, but with his fingers behind his back, he quietly made a "guarded" gesture to Gianna, although it was only a flash, but Gianna's eyes suddenly lit up.

The Death Knight and the Skeleton Soldier were besieging a giant faceless man in the main hall at this time, a servant of the ancient gods, with an octopus face, covered with the carapace of underwater creatures, and a long beard like a lobster, and its arms were two giant shrimp crows, one by one, with huge strength, all over the body, and proficient in the evil arts of the ancient gods.

This is definitely a difficult opponent to deal with, it alone entangles all the undead soldiers, every attack, can make the wide hall shake once, every time it is injured, the smelly blood falls on the ground, it will form a twisted mass of flesh, attack those undead.

Dick knew that this faceless man was called Persia, a guardian born from the blood of the sealed Zakhaz, and his strength was not very strong, and in the real world, the challenge level in the game was naturally erased, otherwise it would be impossible to pick a level 100 goblin bandit and beat the archmage Kel'thugad with a game level of only 80.

"Don't get entangled with it, as long as Zakhaz doesn't die, the vitality of this monster is limitless!"

Dick saw that Kel'thugad was about to make a move, and hurriedly dissuaded,

"That cave behind him! there, that's where Zakhaz was sealed, and Saratas is there!"

Kel'thugad reacted immediately, he grabbed Dick and Gianna's shoulders with both hands, and his figure flashed, and he had already used the flashing technique to take Dick and Gianna through the battlefield of Faceless Persia and the undead.

This strength is definitely worthy of the title of Archmage.

At least Dick hadn't seen that NPC mage flash with anyone else in the game.

Kel'thugad stood at the entrance to the cave, and he immediately felt a heavy dark force permeating the cave, and the archmage strode into the cave with some confusion.

Gianna had already taken her left hand out of the forbidden chain she had quietly opened, and was about to cast a spell, but was held down by Dick, whose face had been thinned to a terrifying level, and his face was extremely unsightly, Gianna looked at him, and Dick shook his head silently.

Now is not the time to get your hands dirty!

Dick walked briskly into the cavern, followed by Gianna, and Kel'thugad stood in the middle of the cavern, looking at the behemoth in front of him imprisoned on the ground by purple spells.

If the roof guardian Persia is terrifying enough, then the giant beast lying here is definitely a demon king-level appearance.

It is the same as Persia, its whole body is covered with dark green carapace, but his body is five times the size of Persia, and the octopus face on the top of his head is also more hideous than that of Persia, and around the face, there is a circle of things similar to fish fins, with a long tail like a sea beast, and its whole body is covered with bone spurs, it is imprisoned on the ground, and every breath can increase the heavy breath in this cave.

The black energy visible to the naked eye lingered on its body, and every time it swallowed, it seemed to be the beginning of a black storm, they escaped in the air, colliding with the imprisoned purple energy, and countless sparks could splash every second, and less than a step away from this giant beast, a strangely shaped dagger was floating in the air.

It was dark purple throughout, with a handle just big enough for an adult hand to hold, and a ring of gauntlets covered in black barbs, and in the center of the gauntlet was a closing eyeball that Dick could even feel was looking at it, and the blade was a curved, curved reverse blade.

What is called a reverse blade, it is the exact opposite structure of the normal blade, dedicated to tearing the flesh, is a vicious weapon, on the dark and hideous blade, every second, there will be a circle of different magic patterns emerge.

Looking at it, a whisper gradually sounded in Dick's ears, very noisy, but straight to the heart!

Kel'thugad was looking at the dagger obsessively, the huge magic contained in it made him intoxicated, and the whispers made him sink, he walked towards it step by step, the archmage who had all his energy on this dagger did not notice, behind him, Dick also quietly approached Zachaz's sealed body step by step.

When Kel'thugad reached out and trembled to grasp Saratas's handle, the purple confinement effect on the surface of Zakaz's body disappeared completely, and Dick jumped up and pounced on Zakaz's body.

Dick wasn't looking for death, of course, on the contrary, he was pursuing the only way for him and Miss Gianna to survive.

Since Zakaz was lying on the ground, even Kel'thugad didn't notice that Zakaz's heart was actually stuck in a bronze two-handed sword.

Dick lied, well, it can't be considered a lie, it can only be said that it is withholding part of the information.

In this palace, surrounded by the ancient god servant Zakaz, there is actually more than one artifact buried.

Three of them!

Aside from the Saratas-Dark Empire Blade, which tried to completely devour Kazaka's power, the closest thing to Dick was this longsword stuck in Zakaz's heart, a two-handed heavy sword that had stayed in Zakaz's body for 2,800 years.

2800 years ago, a scattered human world, in the face of the invasion of trolls, formed the first unified country, the kingdom of Alatho, a generation of male lord Alaso united with the high elves at that time, repelled the trolls, the original overlord of the northern frontier Amani trolls were completely dispersed, but shortly after the end of the war, Alatao mysteriously disappeared, and his kingdom lasted for 1600 years, divided into the current seven countries.

When Araso was on a tour of the country, he happened to meet Saratas into the world, and Zakhaz, who had lost his shackles, broke through the seal for the first time, and the servants of the old gods at that time were very weak, so Alaso fought it, and in the final blow, pierced his long sword into Zachaz's heart, forcing it to fall into a deep sleep.

Aratao the Great himself, under the final counterattack of the ancient gods, fell in this nameless valley.

This sword is called Scamdor, also known as the Exterminator, it is the long sword that Alaso stabbed Zakaz back then, the first sword in the human world, which lodged the soul of the first warrior king of mankind, and stayed in the body of the servants of the ancient gods for 2,800 years, and was nourished by the power of the servants of the ancient gods for 2,800 years.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is a weapon with potential that is not weaker than the Frost Sorrow of the Demon Sword, in fact, even in the game, this sword is one of the three artifacts of the warrior class, and Saratas-Blade of the Dark Empire is an artifact that belongs to the Shadow Priest, but now that the Shadow Priest profession has only appeared for less than 10 years, it is naturally impossible to talk about ownership.

Dick's purpose was not this sword, he knew very well that with his current strength, even if he got this Scamdor-Exterminator, he would never want to kill Kel'thugad, and the difference in strength between the two sides was so large that it was not something that could be made up by a single weapon.

But Dick knew one detail, as soon as he drew this sword, Zakhaz, who had been forced to sleep, would wake up!

That's the opportunity he's been waiting for!
