Chapter 101: Karazhan's Bed
The fields are filled with a colorless cold wind, and winter has finally arrived.
Egwene is back too.
In the foundation of the mage tower that "grows" on its own, the Guardian Lady looks around, and her blue eyes gleam with the light of wisdom.
"A shell made of earth elements? Nice idea. The premise is to constrain them. ”
"We have a contract."
"Twelve concentrating pillars and eight concentrating cores are not bad in the ordinary mage tower. I noticed that there is a vacancy in the middle position, and you have other plans for the core of the Gathering Circle? ”
"Yes. I have a couple of ideas that, if implemented, might reach the tenth of your Karazan. ”
"It's hard. Karazan has a total of 389 shaped pillars as foundations. There are 1,356 large and small mana nodes, and the middle position is the core forged from the wreckage of a world. There is also the energy that overflows from countless spatial rifts, and it is itself the main vein of the world's demon web vein, and it is difficult to have a mage tower that can compare to Karazan. ”
"So far, it is."
"For now?"
The Guardian smiled and looked at Orondo, "What do you mean. Your Mage Tower will surpass Karazan in the future? ”
"The definition is different. My mage tower is not the same as Karazan. Karazan is not so much a mage tower as a hub for you to protect the world. My Mage Tower, the future will be completely up to me. ”
Orondo's tone was steady.
Elunis had told him that Karazan was actually an inheritance that Egwene had inherited from her mentor.
Before her mentor, Karazhan was held by a powerful psychic.
The psychic was a powerful necromancer with an artifact forged by the Fallen Titans from the flames of a world's destruction.
The psychic was one of the spearheads of the Burning Legion, but plotted to betray Sargeras and found a way to come to Azeroth.
The psychic used the artifact forged by the Fallen Titans to devour everything in the area where the Southern Windward Trail of the Eastern Continent of Azeroth is located, and began to absorb the life force of the earth.
Soon after, the trees were left with withered skins, the swamps became dry wastelands, the sky turned an eerie gray, and the sun cast a shadow.
Souls imprisoned by artifacts unconsciously assist psychics in destroying their own homes. Their desperation is a treat for psychics.
For hundreds of years, the psychic guarded the artifact and hid in the magical nexus he and the artifact had created, plotting to betray Sargeras.
The destruction wrought by psychics was so complete that even the sleeping souls of Azeroth were terrified.
So, the psychic and the artifact were out of luck.
The trembling of the world's soul has attracted the peep of the Guardians, Scarville, the guardian of Tirisfa, the mentor of Egwen.
The Guardian saw the illusion of the world's soul before his eyes, revealing an evil being lurking in the upwind path, a demon waiting for the return of the Burning Legion.
Scarville boldly takes action to pursue the psychic, and after an earth-shattering battle, he kills the psychic. The psychic's soul wails as it is sucked into the artifact.
The original Karazan was a magical hub created by this psychic using this artifact.
"Actually, according to what Elunis told me, it doesn't seem that your mage tower can be called a mage tower. Karazan is more like your seal. Orondo thought as he said to Egwen.
Every time Egwene is around, Elunis is honest. Unlike Orondo, when talking to other people, he would often jump out and make a point.
One can imagine how much it suffered at the hands of Egwene back then!
But then again, it seems normal for Elunis to be abused by Egwene. Who told it to have nearly killed Egwene when he fought Sargeras?
————
With Egwen's character, it is probably because it is rare enough to kill it.
"It even tells you that? Wait a minute......" Egwene's eyes became solemn as he looked at him, and a pair of dark green eyes lit up with pure purple arcane flames, staring directly at Orondo.
Under this gaze, Orondo felt as if he had been stripped naked, being glanced up and down by Egwene.
He was not ashamed.
What is the relationship with the mentor to be looked at?
After a few breaths, the fireworks in Egwen's eyes went out, and his face was complicated.
"It became your heart? An arcane spirit that has become your heart?!! Orondo could hear the doubt and surprise in her tone, which was usually very rare.
"How did you do that?"
Orondo actually wants to know, too.
Elunis himself didn't know why it was eaten by Orondo, and Orondo himself didn't know.
Maybe the well-informed Egwene can give a reason?
Orondo thought for a moment and recounted that meditation experience in Quel'Thalas.
"Exotic walks. The meditation method in the Metri Scroll is indeed possible, but the outer interface you go to is too deep. My negligence, I didn't expect such an accident. ”
Egwen's beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly, she thought very elegantly, bookishly, and looked like a lady. At this time, she is no longer aggressive.
Orondo: "What do you think the suspicious beings I've encountered like Elunis, and Elunis itself?" ”
This is a question that even they themselves do not know. The Blue Dragon and Maitri believe that they are pure arcane elements, and their presence is the high embodiment of arcane. Personally, I think they are more than that. But the sample is so small that I can't prove my point of view right. Egwen said softly.
"I suppose another exotic walk like that, and another encounter with those individuals, might answer this question?" Orondo Road.
"That's too dangerous." Egwene shook his head and said, "Just because the darkness is endless doesn't mean you can meet them every time. ”
Orondo thought about it too.
There are countless things in the infinite darkness, and it is lucky to meet them once, and there may be something wrong with meeting them a second time.
When Orondo thought this, Egwene whispered, "I think you came out to build a mage school yourself, I think...... It's funny. ”
"Like you say. I also think that the winds of Dalaran will corrupt the arcane. I want to bring a wave of innovation to the mages. Orondo said softly.
"Follow me." Egwene said no more, turned around, and the blue portal opened automatically.
Orondo noticed that on the opposite side was Karazhan.
Egwene stepped inside.
Orondo didn't hesitate and followed Egwene inside.
About 100 years ago, Egwen took over Karazhan and began to reverse and modify Karazan with Elunis' power. After 100 years, there is Karazhan who is not so mad now.
However, even Egwene and Elunis could not reverse the tone left by Karazhan in the early days of construction. So much so that this mage tower looks eerie, because its interior is indeed eerie as well.
Egwene became Orondo's mentor a year ago, taking him to Karazan a few times, but insisting that Orondo would have to stay in the library if she wasn't there.
It's not that Egwene is stingy, it's because the whole of Karazan is in Egwen's absence. For Orondo, the only thing that is safe is the library.
Karazan is not only Egwen's mage tower, but also the seal left by Egwen, sealing the world's largest spatial rift.
Walking around in Karazan, if you don't have enough strength, you are looking for death. Because maybe as you walk, a spatial gap will crack in front of you, and a bunch of demons will pop out of it.
Of course, Egwene doesn't care, Sargeras's strongest doppelganger can be sealed by her, what is the mere demon.
Orondo can't!
Egwen didn't take him to Karazan much before, and Orondo complained a little about it. He felt that Egwene was guarding himself and was not sincere.
After possessing Elunis, Elunis told him bluntly, "No mage can guarantee his safety in Karazhan except for the Guardians!" ”
It's a place where you turn around or open a door, and you might come across a demon prince......
Orondo didn't know what she was taking her to Karazhan now, but he was sure that Egwen would never do anything bad to him at this time.
So he followed.
As soon as she passed, she found that instead of going to the safe library, she went to her bedroom.
It's just a little weird.
The furnishings in her bedroom were strange.
Orondo has been here once, and the last time I came here was very ordinary, it was an ordinary women's bedroom.
This time, it was visible to the naked eye that the walls and roofs on the floor of the bedroom were full of magic patterns and magic circles, and the energy aura emitted by these magic circles made his scalp tingle.
Even stranger are her words.
She lay in the center of all the magic patterns, on the large soft bed, and stretched out her hand to him:
"Come here, help me undress."
