Chapter 164: Misfortune and the Island
"Anduin, you've hurt me......"
The tone of the old fox Marin, half of it is complaining, half of it is anxious, he in the picture, he is in an area that is not real, and his eyes are full of blue ice crystals, like an ice ruin, in the distance, the figure of Ferding appeared, he seems to be fighting with a deformed creature, the battle situation is unknown, but judging by Marin's demeanor, the two have not yet fallen into a decisive situation.
Everyone in the hall heard the movement and gathered around in an uproar, and then Marin continued: "Something unknown happened, and Bolvar broke free from the seal faster than expected, not only freeing him from the Ember Bringer, but even polluting the energy core and no longer under the control of Ferdin. By the time we met Berval, it was already too late, he didn't recognize me and the Holy Light Necklace at all, and all he wanted to do was defeat that old woman from Lynn, and if we delayed any longer, Stormwind would be destroyed! ”
"Huh?" Anduin raised an eyebrow, "What the hell is going on with you?" ”
Marin looked at Fordin's battle: "It's too late to say!" You'll know when you come over, and that guiding stone will show you the way! ”
The voice fell, and the image disappeared, only the glittering guiding stone, condensing the light pointing to the north.
The sudden change made everyone unprepared, and the two legendary powerhouses joined forces, and they all needed reinforcements, which showed that even if the situation was not imminent, it was like a building that would collapse, and sooner or later there would be extremely bad turmoil, and Marin made it clear that if it continued to delay, Stormwind Town would be destroyed, which was a situation that Anduin categorically could not accept.
What to do?
It is not easy to assist the two legendary powerhouses, firstly, to ensure sufficient strength, and secondly, not to be too procrastinated, you must know that all existences that have reached the legendary level have a speed that exceeds the understanding of ordinary people, although Ferding and Marin have only set off for more than half a day, but they are enough to go deep into the Northern Islands, in this case, those who have not reached the fourth level are not even qualified to participate in the rescue, of course, Anduin is an exception.
Anduin, who was in danger, immediately asked, "Arthas, can I borrow your guard for the time being?" ”
"Of course!"
His Royal Highness the Sword-eyed Prince did not hesitate at the critical moment, and immediately drew out the legendary powerhouses led by the knight guards, as well as the five peak knights: "Anduin, I suggest that this operation be divided into three batches, the legendary powerhouses should break away from the large army and rush to the aid of His Excellency Ferdin, and the second group is composed of fourth-order powerhouses who are good at speed, and now that the sea is frozen, they also have the ability to step on the sea." ”
Arthas said in a deep voice: "As for the other fourth-order beings who are interested in participating in the rescue, they must take a ship to chase after them with all their strength along the trajectory of the movement, although it may be a little too late to do so, but just now I saw through the screen that there are many deformed monsters around His Excellency Fortin, if the number of support is too small, it may bring more trouble." ”
Anduin nodded heavily, Arthas's arrangement was very reasonable, and his gaze immediately fell on the face of the adjudicator Tuhat, this female legend had just arrived, and she was going to participate in such an urgent rescue operation, Anduin was worried that she would choose to refuse, but fortunately, Tuhat showed an extremely strong fighting mood, did not dodge or avoid meeting Anduin's gaze, and his body stood like a javelin: "Follow the orders of the Holy Light Incarnation!" ”
"Good!" Anduin couldn't help but smile, as the so-called charcoal in the snow, nothing more than that, the adjudicator's strong support was like a reassuring pill, making everyone present a little less anxious. He also thought that if Tuhat didn't agree, he would have to bring in Max, the mushroom dealer, or Hamm, the kobold geographer and road builder, and not mention the cost of Anduin, exposing his connection to the underworld would inevitably lead to many consequences.
Then the chubby traveling scholar Zhou Zhuo, with a big belly, said: "If you want to shorten the action time, I can provide some help, if you want to go to the Northern Islands, it is not so easy, if you don't have special abilities, you have to rely on ships below the legend." ”
As he spoke, he showed the old scroll that he had never left with him: "To go to some inaccessible places, walking alone will not work, so I specially invited the craftsmen of the clan to create this scroll, which can fly at a speed that is not weaker than that of the legendary powerhouse for a few days, but the space is limited and it can't carry many people." ”
Anduin's eyes lit up: "Without further ado, let's go, the two legendary powerhouses are still dispatched in advance according to the predetermined plan, and a group of people who ride the scroll will follow closely, and the rest are still according to the arrangement of Arthas, we can't predict the battle situation ahead, we can only hope that you can go all out, Your Excellency the judge, please take the guiding stone and guide the route for the follow-up personnel." ”
Tuhat didn't drag mud and water, took the glittering guiding stone, and set off with the legendary knight who protected Arthas, not to mention that both of them were wearing heavy armor, but the speed of the forward was beyond the reach of the fourth-order powerhouse, and almost in the blink of an eye, he came from the Hearthstone Inn in the center of Stormwind Town to the edge of the beach, stepping on the gradually freezing water, flying into small dots like grains of rice.
Without further ado, the candidate for the scroll was quickly determined, in addition to the traveling scholar Zhou Zhuo, who acted as the operator, there were also Anduin, Arthas, Eliza and Jones, and in the end, there was a little space left, which was occupied by Sonia, who cared about Grandpa Ferdin, and made Anduin agree to accompany him with a firm look just by looking at him.
As the scroll took off, Stormwind Town quickly moved away from everyone, and the explorers who were good at their skills, in the eyes of everyone, were only the size of a grain of rice, but these small grains of millet resolutely climbed the boundless sea, and rushed towards the front where they might be killed, and the knight guards who were responsible for guarding Arthas, under the leadership of Masif, boarded an icebreaker clipper, far behind.
Although the high place is not cold, but the scroll is extraordinarily warm, and the skilled craftsmen invited by the traveling scholar Zhou Zhuo specially added a wind-sheltering formation, so that the cold wind under the high-speed action will naturally stay away from everyone.
The chubby pandaman followed Tuhat's figure, concentrating on manipulating the direction of travel, while the co-passengers gradually calmed down after the initial panic and began to think about something other than rescue.
Arthas remembered Gianna, who was chasing Blackmore, and swept her eyes across the sea, looking for traces of her sweetheart, while Eliza was worried that Arthas had found out the clue, thinking about what she would do if the two really met, and what she would do to completely cover up the secret, in addition, both of them knew the secrets of the Northern Isles, and they were equally concerned about what happened to Bolval, and what kind of troubles Ferding and Marin encountered.
"If Jenny Turtle can successfully predict it, Grandpa Ferding won't have to be in crisis."
Sonia and Anduin snuggled up, and said with some reproach: "Listening to what His Excellency Marlin said, Uncle Boval's consciousness seems to be running out, no matter what the final outcome is, he has completely lost the chance to recover, Anduin, what should I do?" ”
Anduin, who was also puzzled, could only comfort him in calm words: "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, we must first ensure the safety of Grandpa Fordin, Uncle Boward's situation is more complicated, and he can only act at the opportunity." ”
The conversation between the two fell into Jones's ears, and the expedition leader was still confused, he didn't know the secrets buried in the Northern Isles, and he was even wondering about the life and death of Boval, and he didn't understand why the Storm Earl, who had died a long time ago, suddenly reappeared in his field of vision in this form, but looking at Anduin and Sonia's appearance, Jones was very curious, and by the way, he helped the traveling scholar Zhou Zhuo to guide the direction.
Time passed quietly, and the sun rising high in the sky gradually set in the west, and the unknown battlefield that I thought would not arrive until at least midnight and three watches suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes under the sunset.
At this time, the heat of the sun was already very little, but the clouds in front of everyone were redder than the maple leaves in late autumn, and when Jones, who was focused on observation, suddenly said that the light of the guide stone stopped, a floating island suddenly broke through the fiery clouds, like a real "aircraft carrier" flying by.
"It's ......"
Whether it was in the sky or on the sea, everyone was shocked because of this scene, and Arthas blurted out: "Dalaran? ”
The magical capital of Dalaran is a floating fortress, if it were not so, it would not be possible to avoid the catastrophe that destroyed the world, and the floating island in front of it, can only be seen under the snow-covered land, faintly see a trace of the city, and on the frozen platform in the center of the island, there is a man with a sword, sitting with his head down.
"Uncle Boval!"
Sonia screamed with some excitement, although the figure did not show a straight face, but according to the familiarity, Sonia had already judged the identity of the other party, but after the excitement, followed by a full of confusion: "What about Grandpa Ferdin?" Why can't I see him? ”
"I think Grandpa Ferding and the old fox Marin should not have encountered danger yet, because in the image from Marin, they did not see the sky, and it was obvious that they had gone deep into the interior of the ancient city!" Anduin said in a deep voice, "I think this island should be separated from the main island in the north, and the most critical problem lies in the sorrow of the evil sword Frost. ”
"Not bad!"
Arthas stared at the Frost Sorrow, his eyes flowing: "The predecessor of the Northern Main Island was a foreign main city, under the invasion of the abyss demons, none of them were spared, their bodies were buried under the completely collapsed city, until the day when the Frost Sorrow was completed, their entrenched souls, called by the Frost Sorrow, became the original army of the dead, you should not underestimate the empty area covered with ice and snow, almost every half step, there is a necromantic corpse, once they feel the breath of life, they will immediately wake upEven if it is a legendary powerhouse who uses the ability to fly, it will take nine deaths to reach the Frozen Throne. ”
When Jones heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Then what to do, if you want to break the situation now, you can only start with the frost sorrow you said." ”
"In the exploration of previous years, countless martyrs have found a secret passage to the throne, and His Excellency Ferdin, and the old fox Marin should be in the secret passage." Alsace made a very probable judgment, "Although this is my first time here, I know where the entrance to the secret passage is. ”
Anduin frowned and looked at the Frozen Throne where Berwal was, and the system reacted that a wave of evil energy lingered around the Frozen Throne, and most importantly, this energy was composed of the elements of hellish filth and extreme cold, which continued to emanate from the Frost Grief of the evil sword, which meant that even if Anduin had the opportunity to read the data of the Frost Sorrow, he would only be able to gain less than half of the control.
Because the basis of the operation of the system depends on the Titan main god, all the existence that the Titan main god can simulate, the system can use energy to generate, and it can be born out of the hell abyss of the remnants of the ancient gods, but it is only subject to the Titan's domination, and the extremely cold element from the depraved/fallen elemental main god will not obey the Titan's orders at all.
This was the second time Anduin had encountered a situation where the system had been suppressed, the first time was when he was deeply scanning the Holy Light Necklace, and a certain high will stopped the system's movements.
"It seems that if we move forward rashly, not only will we not be able to save people, but we will even have to get into it." Anduin looked at Arthas and said in a deep voice, "Please. ”
His Royal Highness nodded lightly and guided the traveling scholar Zhou Zhuo, while Sonia asked sadly, "Could it be that Uncle Boval really forgot about us?" ”
"No, Uncle Bolval has not forgotten us, he has only been temporarily confused, and when we have successfully joined up with Grandpa Fordin, we will be able to wake him up."
Anduin gently comforted, and the flying scroll also obeyed Arthas's command, and fell into a safe place, which was cleaned by the knight pioneers, and was one of the few clean areas on the island, and the entrance that Arthas said was under a ruined wall, and several people did not rush to act, but waited for the traveling scholar Zhou Zhuo to pick up the adjudicator Tuhat and another legendary powerhouse, and then stepped through the snow and broke into the lost ruins.
But they didn't see that on the oblique side of the route, there was a down-and-out figure, and Blackmore, who was chased by the magicians who were desperately chased, forced into the frozen sea, realized that if he wanted to live, he had to land on this island of unknown origin, and he did not have the ability to fly, so he could only step on the ice and jump high, explode a brilliant ice crystal, and his hands became claws, which could be used to buckle the bottom of the island, and then like an ape, he climbed the rock, and coincidentally, he came to the safe area where the scroll landed.
Seeing the frozen throne in the distance, the big slave owner remembered some dusty rumors, he did not act rashly, but gritted his teeth and followed the footsteps of Anduin and others, however, this ambitious and down-and-out strong man knew that behind him, there was a group of magicians like mad dogs, so while stepping on the footprints, he used the snow to cover all traces.
"Haha!"
Blackmore successfully walked into the ruins passage, and a hideous smile appeared on his face: "Those damn magicians, just take them as sacrifices for me to get out of the way, I don't know if the army of the dead on this island likes their souls or not?" ”
