Chapter 127: Egwen's Song
The book that would bite made Carlin almost bruised and swollen.
Carlin ran around the library for two hours, finally running out of strength...... Or rather, the arcane energy stored in it has been depleted!
Carlin then calmly opened it and flipped through its contents...... As Medivan said, most of the descriptions of "confinement" are incomprehensible to Carlin, but the parts that can be understood are far beyond the scope of Antonidas's previous explanations.
After spending a week and barely digesting the book, Carlin began his hunting career in the library.
Any book of value in the library (in the case of Medivan, any book of value to Karin) is released with some special magic. Some books have strong offensive power, some books will hide themselves independently, and some books have no words on them and need to be cracked by themselves.
But it's all a little trick, and there is basically no danger.
God knows why Medivan set these "traps" and made Carlin have to go through every single one of them.
For example, a pamphlet that would actively hide from him, it took Carlin a whole day to catch it...... It describes the powerful magic of a "demonic protective enchantment", which is unleashed by Karazan's outer layer.
There is also a book that can't be broken by brute force...... "Traps and Locks, How to Be a Good Protector Cracker", which doesn't seem to be of much value!
There is also a book that changes color and appearance on its own, and it is more difficult to find it after reading it once, and the description of the spirit and mind should be more suitable for a priest than a mage.
……
Months passed like this, and Karazhan was as calm as ever.
Carlin "hunts" in the library every day and doesn't care about the outside world.
Medivan didn't leave the room for the first week, and Moros would bring a bowl of broth upstairs every day. But then, as always, they went out often, sometimes for weeks, and a few people in the tower had become accustomed to it.
Occasionally, there is news from Stormwind that the orcs have retreated to the Black Swamp after their defeat. Due to the influence of the fog, Lothar's army was unable to penetrate deep into the swamp and strike at the army of the Horde.
And there are scouts who report that the number of orcs seems to be increasing...... More orc clans have crossed the Dark Gate and come to the Black Swamp; However, the truth is relatively vague, and it is difficult to judge the truth of these.
To be on the safe side, Lothar sent messengers north to ask for help...... However, it is not surprising that the other human kingdoms did not pay attention to this matter.
Except for Dalaran, the rest of the five human nations only sent some gold coins, which can be regarded as aid to the victims of the Azeroth Kingdom......
The kingdom of Dalaran sent a team of elite mages to support it, led by two of Antonidas's students: Kel'thugad and Khadgar, to show that Dalaran took this matter seriously.
Hearing this, Carlin knew that the Mentor understood what he meant, and that Kel'thugad and Khadgar seemed to have come to his aid.
But I don't know how to contact them.
……
One day, about a few months later, Carlin was in the library and accidentally found a notebook written by Medivan himself, and it was hard to imagine that it was not in the study but in the library.
The laptop doesn't have any of the usual guards, but it won't be turned on at all...... Carlin tried several options, but to no avail.
Looking at the closed notebook, Carlin suddenly thought of the book "Traps and Locks" he had seen earlier......
He hurriedly found the thick leather book that was very troublesome to open once, and found some targeted methods.
After several attempts, Carlin succeeded!
He gently opened the notebook, and Carlin saw a large line of words on the first page.
"Egwen's Song!"
After seeing these words, he suddenly felt that the world was spinning, and then he lost consciousness.
……
Dreamland?
Carlin frowned as the sight before him became familiar again.
He hurriedly touched his black-rimmed glasses, but unfortunately he was in a soul state now, and there was no way to touch them...... However, the black-rimmed glasses in my memory have never been taken off, and the illusion in front of me is a little incomprehensible.
The cold wind blew through Carlin, faintly making him feel a little chill.
Here it seems to be...... Northrend!
There was a field of snow all around, and a woman stepped on the snow without leaving a trace on it.
…… Her blonde hair was cleverly draped over her with a white cloak and a silver-rimmed hood covering her blonde hair...... She is very beautiful, no matter her facial features or figure, she does not notice a single flaw
In that moment, Carlin felt hopelessly in love with her...... Moments later, however, he came to his senses again.
It is a powerful seductive spell that is still affected even in the state of the soul.
The strange yet familiar staff on her back revealed her identity...... Etiyesh is in her hands, so she is the former Guardian and Medivan's mother, "Magna Egwen".
The closest mage to a god in legend!
A large army appeared ahead, stepping across the glacier, leaving a sinuous inky trail in their wake.
They have different forms, but their faces are more hideous than the other...... Demons, as Carlin can guess, is an army of the Burning Legion.
The leaders at the forefront of the demon army were carrying long wooden poles in their hands, and on them were all bloody heads...... The head of a dragon.
The demon army surrounds the Guardians!
Egwene was undaunted, she just smiled lightly and snapped her fingers.
The sky suddenly became overcast, like a flock of birds blocking out the sun.
But now it's not birds, it's dragons, it's overwhelming dragons, the number of which surprises even Carlin.
The war between the Guardians, the Dragons, and the Demons seems to be about to begin!
"Battle of the Dragons?" Carlin frowned and said to himself, "Then it's time for Sargeras to play too!" ”
It's just that to him, it seems a little boring.
