Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Book of Medivan
The bustling city of Dalaran was already in chaos amid the sound of the alarm, and the owners of various shops on the street were closing their doors in panic.
When he really saw the army of the undead scattered all over the mountains, finally no archmage could laugh anymore.
Many guards and mages also rushed to their respective posts in a panic.
Judging from these panicked situations, Dalaran's armament was indeed a mess.
However, as a lilac magical defensive barrier quietly enveloped the city, everything finally calmed down.
Magical lights began to glow from the mage towers in the city, and then powerful arcane magic that shone like meteors flew into the sky, blasting a gap in the crowd of gargoyles that covered the sky.
However, even if it was useless to shoot down a few gargoyles, more gargoyles were flying in from afar, and soon made up for their original positions.
Gianna helped Su Chen through the chaotic crowd, and a light blue mage robe reflected her in an extraordinarily pure and beautiful look.
Although Dalaran is a city of mages, there is also a Church of Light in the city, and the scale is not small, but it is far away from Violet Castle.
"Are these undead really that strong...... Even Silvermoon City has fallen, and Dalaran is afraid that it will be difficult to resist. Gianna looked worried.
Su Chen has always remained silent, he knows the ending of Dalaran, but it is too cruel, not to mention that no one will believe it even if he says it.
Just as Medivan came to warn him only to be regarded as a madman by Antonidas, humanity seems to be suspicious of all so-called prophets and prophecies, especially these mages with powerful magical powers, and even have no respect for the gods.
However, he couldn't help but be surprised that the Undead Scourge had launched an attack on Dalaran so quickly.
According to the original course of Warcraft's history, Arthas traveled thousands of miles north to Quel'Thalas to resurrect Kel'thugad, and then south to Dalaran, spending at least several months of travel.
And now that Dalaran is under siege, it's been less than a month since the fall of Silvermoon City!
It seems that the Undead Scourge is even more powerful than they expected, and since the Dreadlord has come to the forefront, they are far more efficient than the historical Arthas.
The two soon came to the Cathedral of Light, because they were worried that the frost grief would have a bad impact on these priests, Su Chen had to ask Gianna to find a box and put it on her back again.
There was also a panic in the church, the priests had never been separated from the war, and now the army of the dead was approaching the city, and the priests were also among the defenders of the city.
However, as a disciple of Antonidas, Gianna's status in Dalaran is not low, and she soon brought in a high-ranking priest named Arnold to treat Su Chen.
"It doesn't seem to have been directly harmed, it's just that the vitality is too overdrawn, and the healing technique using the power of the Holy Light has no effect." The high-ranking priest named Arnold carefully probed Su Chen's state, it looked a bit like a Chinese medicine doctor's inquisitiveness, when he cast a few advanced healing techniques on Su Chen, it was indeed useless to his weakened state.
"Oh, I've had this kind of trouble before, a priest friend gave me an ankh with the power of the Light in it that seems to speed up my body's recovery a little." As he spoke, Su Chen took out the ankh necklace that Vivien had given him.
Arnold took the ankh but was obviously stunned, and then looked up at Su Chen in shock: "Life ankh...... How did you have this? Who gave it to you? ”
Su Chen couldn't help but be a little surprised, and asked, "Is this thing important?" ”
"Well, this ankh was worn by Archbishop Alonsus Fao when he prayed, and after his death it was left in the Cathedral of Light in Stratholme, which is now ......," Arnold said, sighing heavily.
"Stratholme? cough cough ......" Su Chen couldn't help but be speechless for a while, that place was slaughtered by himself once, and then burned again, and now it has already become an important base for the undead natural disaster, and the Bright Church is estimated to have been destroyed long ago.
It's just that he really didn't expect Vivien to be from Stratholme...... This made Su Chen feel guilty in his heart.
If Vivien was a native of Stratholme, perhaps her relatives would have died in the slaughter of the city.
"This ankh is supposed to contain a lot of the power of the Holy Light, and can automatically heal the wearer, but now it has been depleted, and it needs to be placed in the church to re-accumulate the power of the Holy Light with the blessing of the Holy Light received by the priests when they prayed, if you want, you can leave it here, and I will try to use the recovery technique to help you recover your body." Arnold said.
Although Su Chen was not worried that this high-ranking priest would covet this ankh, he still refused to leave the ankh, knowing that Dalaran had been besieged by the army of the undead, and if nothing else happened, the city would definitely be destroyed, and the Light Cathedral would also be destroyed at that time.
"Then please keep this ankh, one of the few relics left by the archbishop." Arnold said as he began to cast the recovery spell on Su Chen.
An extremely comfortable feeling immediately filled his body, making Su Chen feel the urge to fall asleep immediately.
"It seems that the recovery technique is indeed effective in the recovery of the body, is it necessary for continuous healing techniques to slowly eliminate this weak state......" Su Chen's heart immediately thought of another profession that could be healed-druid.
Druids have a lot of slow-acting healing abilities that might be useful for their ability to eliminate weakness, but it's too difficult to find them these days.
Su Chen and Gianna didn't stay in the church for too long, after all, now that the undead soldiers were in the city, there were too many things to deal with, and seeing that the weak state of his body could only rely on recovery techniques to slowly recover, he didn't want to stay in the church all the time.
When the two returned to Violet Castle, they found that the meeting was still going on, and that there were more archmages involved.
It's just that the content of the meeting has changed from whether or not to send troops to help Lordaeron to whether to hand over the Book of Medivan.
This is the information that an archmage has received after communicating with the undead who have become—as soon as he hands over the Book of Medivan, the undead will immediately retreat, promising never to attack Dalaran in the future.
This quid pro quo was immediately implicitly supported by some archmages who did not want to get involved in the war.
"It seems that the purpose of the Undead Scourge has not changed......" Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Nao Zu did not completely change his plan, then he would have a good chance to stop Akmund's arrival at a critical moment!
There are still quarrels in the halls of parliament, and perhaps this is one of the side effects of so-called democracy.
However, in the end, Antonidas, who has always been kind and rarely expresses his attitude directly, shook his head quite resolutely and rejected this condition.
"We must not bow down to these undead, many of you have not seen the Book of Medivan, do not know how important it is, and do not know what the purpose of the book is, since these undead have asked for the Book of Medivan by name, then I can already guess their ultimate purpose, which is ...... Summon even more powerful demons! Antonidas stood up with his staff on his hand, and said firmly, "We must do everything in our power to protect the Book of Medivan, and never let it fall into the hands of these undead, for this reason...... I don't hesitate to sacrifice everything. ”
Su Chen couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard this, it seemed that Antonidas's guess was not much different from the plan of the Undead Scourge, obviously this archmage was very aware of the value and purpose of the Book of Medivan.
"Have you read the book of Medivan? What exactly is written on it? Su Chen asked Gianna beside him in a low voice.
