"Holy Light, what an evil thing this is!"

General Abydis exclaimed.

Everyone was shocked, and they were deeply shocked by something evil that they had never seen before.

Ethan Lion hurriedly summoned a barrier of holy light to envelop the shadow crystal, so as not to spill out and prevent the shadow energy from affecting everyone. After all this was done, he asked in a deep voice, "Where did you get it?" What exactly is this thing? ”

Mograine explained, "I got it from the corpse of an orc warlock during the Battle of the Blackstone Tower more than a decade ago. This shadow crystal was brought from their world to ours. ”

"As you can see, this is an incomparably wicked artifact. I touched it once, and it eroded my palm, and during that time, I was plagued by nightmares, horrible sights, and haunted me for a long time. ”

He took off the glove of his right hand and showed the badly corroded palm to the crowd.

"I've kept it for ten years, trying to find a way to destroy it, until recently, I've had a new appreciation for the Light," the paladin took a deep breath, "Can the Light really exist on its own apart from the Shadows?" ”

Fairbanks glanced uneasily at Archbishop Benedictas.

As Mograini's best friend, he had known about the Rezeb crystal for a long time, and he had been studying the forbidden knowledge of Light and Shadow. But I didn't expect that this old friend of mine would say this in front of the archbishop.

This is, of course, a no-no.

The last person to study the "way of balancing light and shadow" and made a lot of achievements was named Natalie Serin, a female bishop of the Church of the Light.

Although her "Theory of Light and Shadow Balance" has helped humans better understand the Shadow Realm's original power, and has also given paladins and clerics who faced orc warlocks during the Second War a better means of coping, ......

Her theories are too dangerous to lead people astray. The most determined believer can fall into the abyss of darkness as he pursues this quest for a balance between light and darkness and uses it.

She had secretly formed a cult called the Forgotten Shadows, gathering priests who could drive Light and Shadow like their arms to hunt down orc invaders. But years ago, she was killed by a traitor. Her notes and writings, full of dangerous theories, were collected and sealed by the Kenrito Council, which had been watching her all along.

And the Church of the Holy Light also forbade the latecomers to continue to study the way of balancing light and shadow, so as not to cause danger.

Most of the high-ranking officials of the Holy Light Church and the Knights of the Silver Hand like Fairbanks have heard of these things. He feared that his old friend would be regarded as a disloyal by Archbishop Benedictas, who was willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of the Holocaust.

General Abidis didn't know the inside story of this matter, and the Holy Light cultivation was not so deep. While most of the priests present were silent, he was the first to stand up and question, "Mograine, how is this possible?" ”

But it was not Mograini who answered him, but Archbishop Benedictas," Mograini was right. According to the theory of light and shadow balance, the two cannot exist separately from each other. ”

Everyone was stunned that the archbishop agreed with that ridiculous theory?

Quickly reacted, I am afraid that Bishop Natalie Serin's theory really reveals some kind of truth. It is not because it is deviant, but because it is too dangerous.

Oryx, on the other hand, was a little suspicious...... Why is Benedictas so sure of himself? Could it be that there is another plan?

No, there is no definite historical evidence that Benedictas did not fall during this period, and care must be taken. Once targeted by the forces of the Elder Gods and even the Void forces behind them, it is not a trivial matter!

Mograini apparently didn't expect to be the first to receive an answer from the archbishop. The latter turned to look at Oryx and asked, "What do you think, our saint?" ”

Oryx organized the wording and said briefly: "Light and shadow are the essence of the universe, binary opposites, and one is indispensable. Without the shadow, there would be no sanctity of the Light, and without the Light, there would be no ugliness of the Shadow. To a certain extent, the two can indeed be transformed into each other, especially in the purer carriers of the two. ”

It was not difficult for him to guess why everyone was silent just now, and why the atmosphere was so strange. It was none other than Natalie Selin, but he knew more than these people - Natalie Seling had an insight into the mysteries of light and shadow under the guidance of the darkest artifact in the world, the Blade of the Dark Empire.

Her followers were also influenced by it, and became more and more fanatical, eventually murdering her and claiming the Blade of the Dark Empire for herself, though she had expected it and left a spell that would bring her back to life.

But in the end, the Blade of the Dark Empire of Saratas mysteriously disappeared, and even the Kenrito Council could not find it...... It was inherited from the previous archbishop Alonsos. The mantle of Fao of Benedictas, in the finishing of Natalie. Serin's relics were found and secretly sealed.

He didn't want the cursed blade that had been so badly affected in the Battle of the Dwarves to do it again, but ......

Although history does not record how Benedictas fell into the "Godfather of Twilight", Aurex is inclined to believe that it was the Blade of the Dark Empire that eroded his mind and turned him into a slave to the Void.

That was his suspicion—there was no convincing evidence of the exact point in time when the archbishop fell.

What's more, at this moment, Natalie Selin has been dead for many years, and the people of the Saratas Dark Empire have been sealed by Benedictas.

What if this archbishop is now under the influence of the Dark Empire's blade? Even depraved...

Taking 10,000 steps back, although even if he falls, he may continue to play the role of the archbishop with all his heart at this time, but the possibility of sinister intentions cannot be ruled out...... What if it was the butterfly effect caused by himself, causing the Elder God to start intervening in the situation in the outside world in advance, and hit the idea on the upcoming "Ash Bringer"?

After all, this weapon and the person holding it are ostensibly the nemesis of the undead, but if you really want to count it, the most symbiotic with it is indeed the shadow of the opposite origin realm.

It's really quite possible. These light and dark sensing parasitic communities that uphold the will of the Void and wait for an opportunity to completely corrupt Azeroth and transform it into the Dark Titan, but they are happy to see mortals and the Burning Legion fighting each other, and they can reap the benefits.

In Azeroth, you can't be too careful with anyone or anything that comes into contact with the ancient gods.

"Exactly." Archbishop Benedictas said approvingly.

Everyone looked at Oryx with a little more respect in their eyes.

Some of them were familiar with him, some were not, and most of them had previously thought that he was just a prophet who had seen the revelation of the Light, but now they understood that it was much more than that. He was not only a prophet, but also a saint and a highly accomplished practitioner.

Not to mention anything else, just this concise remark that directly hits the essence of the Holy Light is not something that ordinary people can summarize.

"That's right," Mograini agreed, "according to my research, this shadow crystal is a very pure vehicle. Perhaps we can somehow transform the shadow power contained in it into holy light, and according to the theory of light and shadow balance, it will become a powerful holy light crystal. ”

"Are you sure? This...... It's incredible. Ethanlien hesitated, apparently incredulous.

Oryx, who had been pondering for a long time, said at the right time, "The Light revealed this scene for me...... The crystal in the hands of Lord Mograini will indeed be a decisive weapon in the war against the Scourge Legion...... Weapons that make a big difference, even artifacts. ”

He wasn't sure if the Ember Bringer would be as strong as he had been in history.

Because the setting of this Rezeb crystal is too fascinating. Even if it is definitely closely related to Naru through the signs, even if the power of the Ash Bringer is on this crystal, it is indispensable to the efforts of the forger.

Magni Copperbeard, the king of the kingdom of Kazmodan, was furious and sad when he learned of the death of his brother Muradin Copperbeard, and created the Ember Bringer. Now that Muradin is not dead, Oryx is unsure if Magni Copperbeard will still be in such perfect condition.

Although it is not necessary to still hand over the task of creating the Ember Messenger to King Magni Copperbeard, he is the top weapon craftsman in the Alliance, and even if you look at the mortal races of Azeroth, there are few who can match him, and if you don't look for him, you really can't find anyone else.

This thing... I still don't have to worry about it, it's not necessary. Besides, the power is mostly in the crystal, and the weapon is only a carrier with little impact.

"And how do we purify it?" Someone asked.

"Imbued with divine energy." Mograini replied, and as he spoke, he summoned a beam of light and struck at the Rizeb Crystal.

In the astonished eyes of everyone, the shadow energy in the crystal was actually diluted, and a ray of holy light began to swim in it, although it was quickly neutralized and annihilated by a large number of shadows, but it was enough to prove that this method worked.

Everyone looked at each other, made a decision, and began to immerse themselves in their minds, summoning divine energy to wash away the Shadow Crystal. Archbishop Oryx and Benedictas were not idle.

Thanks to the efforts of a group of legendary paladins and priests, the color of the Rezeb crystal became clear at a speed visible to the naked eye, and gradually, the golden light prevailed, and the shadow energy was completely transformed and disappeared.

When it was completely transformed into a sacred crystal that radiated holy radiance, everyone's eyes widened. Overjoyed, Mograini couldn't help but reach out and touch it, and as a result, his corroded right hand was healed in an instant......

"It's amazing...... I felt the light flowing through my whole body and washing my soul...... We did it! This crystal, which holds a portion of the power of each of us, will be forged into an invincible weapon, and when it awakens, it will leave nothing but ashes in its path! ”

……

Everything after that was no different from what Oryx knew.

The weary crowd was in high spirits, even if they had confirmed a profound theory of the Holy Light, and they were also excited to obtain such a weapon, and Mograine put the crystal in a small box, calling for strict secrecy about it, and so on......

The purification process is painstaking, especially the loss of divine energy.

He just wanted to find a place to rest now, and he had one thing on his mind...... In this crystal, there is now Benedictas' divine energy...

If the worst happens, wouldn't this "Godfather of Twilight" have the back door to a weapon made of crystal?

No, you have to be careful!

He thought it was none of his business, but Mograini walked up to him with a locket containing the crystal, and said, "I think that the glory of naming the weapons that are about to come is yours, saint. ”

Oryx blinked, and said without thinking, "Ember Bringer." ”

"Ember Bringer......" Mograini muttered the name, as if savoring its future heroism, and when he came to his senses, he handed the box to Oryx, "and the weapon itself...... It will also be yours. ”

Oryx was startled and looked around, only to find that everyone present was looking at him with the eyes that should have been done, and Archbishop Benedictas gave him an approving smile.

"May the Light bless you forever, and may this weapon that is about to come become one with you, and be your reliance on us in leading us against this catastrophe, saint." Mograini whispered.

Orix took a deep breath, took the box containing the Divine Crystal, and nodded deeply.

Ember Bringer... All right. Diagram of the Avenue of the Heavens
