Chapter 82: Hope

Although he didn't have much hope, Su Chen finally went to check the scene of the theft with some reluctance.

The so-called treasure chamber was indeed heavily guarded, located in the core area of Violet Castle's underground, and was only accessible with the help of Brandon and Gianna in removing a large number of magic traps along the way.

"This is it." As a member of the Council of Six, Durandon smiled wryly and pointed ahead, where there was a very abrupt clearing.

However, when you get closer, you can see that it is a deep pit.

The darkness was bottomless, and the walls of the cave were densely covered with spider silk at this moment.

Su Chen's face was a little heavy, judging from the location of this crypt, it was obvious that those crypt spiders had already known the specific location of this treasure room, and they dug from the ground to the bottom of the secret room, and then pulled the entire secret room into the crypt.

This is naturally inseparable from the traitor, and this is one of Dalaran's weaknesses - many powerful mages have long looked down on mortals, and for the sake of power and immortality, they don't care whether they cooperate with the undead or humans......

"Can you find out where this crypt leads? It should take a long time to dig a crypt of this size. Su Chen squatted in front of the cave entrance and looked at it for a while.

He didn't believe that the crypt spiders could dig all the way from Lordaeron to Dalaran in such a short period of time, and that there must be an exit from the crypt nearby.

"Yes, maybe the exit is near Dalaran!" Derlandon's eyes lit up, and he immediately came to his senses.

Dalaran's higher-ups were clearly concerned about the Book of Medivan as well, and many mages and guards were immediately sent out to investigate, while a team of members of the Violet Eye who were skilled in fighting in the dark were organized to explore the crypts.

"Hopefully they'll find an exit soon, and maybe we'll have a chance to reclaim the Book of Medivan." Gianna sighed, apparently she didn't expect this to turn out either, having defeated the undead, but still lost the Book of Medivan.

"Well, but just in case, I need to talk to a few archmagers about something." Su Chen said with a serious face.

Naturally, he wanted to talk about asking Dalaran to send a mage to support Lordaeron, and at the same time to warn the archmagers about the danger of Akmund.

Even if Dalaran can stop the undead scourge, he will definitely not be able to resist Akmund!

Su Chen soon found Antonidas and other high-ranking officials in the council hall, and they were discussing the next move of the Dalaran Kingdom, one of the important contents was to discuss whether to go north to attack the undead in Lordaeron.

Although he had just won a great victory against the undead, there were still many people who opposed it, on the grounds that Dalaran's mana reserves were too large to continue the battle against the undead scourge.

For these mages, magic crystals are as important as food.

"Whether or not Dalaran wants to continue the fight against the undead, he is no longer out of the situation, and if the undead do use the Book of Medivan to summon powerful demons, I am afraid that they will immediately come to take revenge on Dalaran." Su Chen reminded.

"It's okay, I'm not the kind of place that can be bullied at will, not to mention the existence of a defensive enchantment, unless those undead can summon tens of thousands of demons at once, we are not afraid." Mordra, the youngest of the Magisters, said unconcernedly.

The rest of the group nodded in agreement, and it was clear that the best of these human mages were fully confident in their magical powers, or rather proud!

Even a wise man like Antonidas thought that Medivan, who had come to warn him, was just a madman.

Su Chen could only sigh secretly in his heart, these mages didn't know what a powerful enemy they were about to face.

"Do you know about the Burning Legion?" After hesitating for a while, Su Chen had to prepare to make it clear to these stubborn and arrogant mages.

"The Burning Legion? It was a group of demons, and I remember that some of the high elves had mentioned that excessive use of magic would attract these demons. Antonidas frowned.

"That was thousands of years ago, and although it was true that some demons used spatial rifts to invade Azeroth, they were quickly solved by us, and many of them were imprisoned as test subjects, so isn't the Warlock Guild always thinking about bringing a few more demons for them to study......" Mordra laughed.

Su Chen couldn't help frowning when he heard this, this Modra obviously regarded the Burning Legion as an ordinary little demon, or he didn't know that there were powerful demons in the world that could destroy the world.

"I've been to Silvermoon City and learned some of the secrets of the Burning Legion from the High Elves, some of these powerful demons have godlike powers that can destroy the entire world, and Dalaran may not be able to resist it, so he must be prepared." Su Chen made an excuse for his prophecy, otherwise no one would believe his words at all.

"Oh, is there such a powerful demon? What kind of preparation does that require us? Antonidas looked at Su Chen with interest, relatively speaking, he was the one who cared the most about demons among the magisters present.

"Preparation for escape, of course......"

"Your Royal Highness the Prince is saying that you want to abandon the city and flee?" Mordra immediately frowned.

Su Chen nodded and said: "Well, the Undead Plague will not hesitate to lose tens of thousands of troops to seize the Book of Medivan, which shows that the enemy we will face next is likely to be extremely powerful, and it may be difficult to face it independently with the strength of the Dalaran Kingdom, if we forcibly insist on defending the city, it is likely to face an ending like Lordanlen." ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince is a little alarmist, although the threat of demons may be great, but no matter what, we will defend Dalaran, this city has been through war, and it was not easy to rebuild, we will not give up easily, but...... The inhabitants of the city can let them evacuate first, and it just so happens that Daylin Proudmoore's fleet is docked in the town of Southsea and can let him help evacuate the people. Antonidas said after a moment's hesitation.

Su Chen couldn't help but be a little speechless, although he also agreed with the evacuation of refugees, he was more concerned about the thousands of mages in the city, that was the power that could fight against the undead natural disaster, and it was also his goal.

He was figuring out how to convince the haughty mages further.

The door to the council hall was slammed open, and an archmage rushed in panting.

"Report, we've found the exit to the crypt!" The mage didn't know how many teleportation and blink skills he had used along the way to get there, and his face was extremely pale at the moment, but his eyes were full of excitement.

"Where?" Everyone in the council hall showed a look of surprise, and all the people sitting there were high-ranking people in Dalaran, and naturally they all knew the value of the Book of Medivan.

"To the northeast, near the Alterac Mountains, according to the traces of the scene, the chamber should not have been opened, and it is likely that it has been forcibly dragged into the forest by those undead." The archmage held his staff and gasped.

"...... the Alterac Mountains" Su Chen couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard this, the last time he went north via the Alterac Mountains, the memories he left behind were not very good.
