The North Rift is an apocalyptic scene, the earth is shaking, countless mountains and rivers are collapsing, and large sections of solid ice are cracking.

The Lich King is desperately awaiting his end, and he doesn't think he has the slightest chance of being spared.

Sure enough, with a crisp "click" sound not long after, a crack appeared on the Xuan Ice, although the crack was not large, the Lich King's soul and power essence had begun to drain outward from the crack, slowly but irreversibly.

"I'm really unwilling."

The Lich King didn't care too much about the crack, he thought he was already going to die, that crack was just the beginning, and soon, one crack after another would appear, and he would die completely.

The Lich King reminisced about his past while waiting for his death, having grown up in Shadowmoon Valley, where he inherited the position of Great Shaman years later before being deceived by Kilgardan......

As he was reminiscing, he noticed that something was wrong around him.

"The spell stopped?"

The Lich King was surprised to find this, and there was a glimmer of hope in his heart, but when he tried to summon his energy to check what had happened in the ruins of Dalaran, he found that he could no longer do it, the piece of ice not only imprisoned him, but also increased his mental power, but now that the piece of ice had been damaged, the Lich King's mental power had been greatly weakened.

"Damn Illidan!"

The hatred in the Lich King's heart became deeper and deeper, and the first consequence of the huge weakening of his spiritual power was that he could no longer guarantee the control of a large part of the undead of the Eastern Continent Scourge, but he couldn't care so much at the moment, and now recalling Arthas for soul fusion was the first priority, otherwise because of the existence of that crack, the Lich King's essence would continue to lose and die.

The Lich King immediately went into action, and although his mental power had weakened a lot, the Lich King's consciousness was quickly connected to Arthas with the presence of Frost Sorrow.

Arthas, who was slaughtering in the village beneath the Scarlet Abbey Mountain, froze suddenly, and the Lich King's words rang straight through his head: "Destruction is coming, return to the Frozen Throne, or we will both be dead!" ”

As the Lich King's voice fell, Arthas's body immediately felt a sharp pain, and his strength weakened slightly.

Quelthugad noticed that Alsace was not normal, and asked: "Your Majesty, are you not feeling well?" ”

Arthas held back the discomfort and weakness in his body and said, "When we finish hunting in the next village, we will go back to the royal city of Lordaeron, I have something important to order." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

……

At the same time, the ruins of Dalaran.

Illidan fell to his knees on one knee, his heart full of unwillingness, and he tried his best to look up at the approaching heroes.

"It's good that Tyrande didn't see this embarrassment."

Illidan felt a lot more relieved when he noticed that Tyrande was gone, and as for the others, except for the human priestess and his own brother, who made him feel a little headache and needed to explain, what did the rest of the people think that he didn't care.

Illidan watched the approaching heroes, Claudia, Mavi, Malfurion, and others were also watching him.

Malfurion was the first to speak with an angry face: "My brother, your plot has failed, in order to achieve your goal, you even want to use spells to destroy the entire Northern Rift Continent, and the crime you committed this time can no longer be solved by simply putting yourself in a cage." ”

A smug smile appeared on the corner of Mavi's mouth and said, "Please let me personally execute the sentence against him." ”

Claudia's eyes were complicated, in her opinion, there was no doubt that the other party had committed a serious crime, but after all, Illidan had fought side by side with her and saved her, so when she heard that the two high-ranking Night Elves were about to condemn Illidan to death, she still couldn't bear to say:

"Mentor Malfurion, although Illidan is guilty, I suggest that you listen to his reasons for doing so, after all, as far as I know, he has hardly done anything purely bad in the past."

Hearing this, Mavi glanced at Claudia and was about to refute subconsciously, but Malfurion had quickly agreed with Claudia's opinion: "My brother, do you have anything to say?" ”

Illidan explained to Malfurion, "My brother, all I have done is to kill our enemy--- the Lich King of the Northern Rift, and if it weren't for your interruption, the undead would no longer be a threat to this world. ”

"Kill the Lich King?"

When Kael'thas heard this, he couldn't help but feel a lot more like Illidan, and Malfurion sighed with a look of surprise, "Is the price so much sacrifice?" Even Tyrande died. ”

"What!" Illidan exclaimed, and in the next moment he stood up with the Aeginos Blade, and took a step forward to ask, "Tyrande?" How did she die! ”

Malfurion spoke sadly: "Tyrande was seriously injured after being besieged by the undead, fell into the river and drowned. ”

Then Kael'thas suddenly interjected: "Wait, Your Excellency, maybe the High Priest is not dead, she was just swept away by the river, maybe she was just washed downstream." ”

Malfurion immediately looked at Mavi, who apologized in a low voice: "Yes...... I'm sorry, Mentor Malfurion, I think it's more important to deal with Illidan...... and she's been swept away by the river, so there's a good chance she'll be ....... ”

Malfurion interrupted her angrily: "Enough! Mavi, you traitor, dare to lie to me! ”

Illidan fell to one knee again and pleaded earnestly, "Brother, since Tyrande is not dead, please let me and my Naga men help search her along the river, this is my last request." ”

Claudia also opened her mouth to persuade: "Mentor Malfurion, finding the high priest is the first priority now, let Illidan take the sin first, and deal with it later." ”

After hearing Claudia's words, Malfurion, who got under the steps, no longer hesitated: "Illidan, for the sake of this human priestess, let's do as you say." ”

When Mavi heard Malfurion's verdict, she angrily said to Malfurion, "What are you kidding? We paid so much to catch him, and you actually believe in this demon again! ”

Malfurion replied in the same angry voice: "Shut up, you traitor, you actually deceived me, wait until I find Tyrande, and then settle accounts with you!" ”

……

At night, camp.

Illidan had sent Naga along the river to look for him, but because it was a dangerous night, most of the soldiers did not move except for Naga.

Claudia was still living in Gianna's luxury tent with Gianna, and at this moment Gianna was frowning at the emerald green fragments in the glass bottle, and complained to Claudia with some headaches:

"While I think these fragments may be worth studying, the chaos on them is a little too strong."

Claudia, who had just finished wiping her armor, smiled and said, "Gianna, if you don't need it, trade it to me, and I will take out the items I exchanged to ensure that you are satisfied." ”

"Do you want to use it?" Gianna looked at Claudia and handed the bottle over, "Just take it if you need it." ”

"Then what's going on," Claudia then pulled out a yellow crystal from her bag, and said to Gianna with a smile on her face, "I'll exchange this for nothing." ”

The yellow crystal that Gianna had coveted immediately caught her eye, and after a moment she wanted to refuse, after all, in her opinion, the value of these fragments was much lower than the crystal, but Claudia saw her thoughts, and preemptively gave her the crystal and snatched the bottle:

"Sister Gianna, it's decided, maybe I can use these fragments to make artifacts, thank you."

"You've suffered too much in this exchange......." Gianna retorted

……

After arguing for a while, Gianna finally accepted the exchange, and was grateful.

She didn't take what Claudia said about building artifacts seriously, although these fragments were part of the fragments after the Eye of Sargeras burst, but after all, they were incomplete, and the chaotic power on the surface of the fragments was so strong, what use could Claudia use the power of light be, it must be that Claudia wanted to take the opportunity to give her the crystal, so she made an exchange.

In fact, Gianna guessed correctly, the main reason why Claudia was willing to trade the yellow crystal to Gianna was that she was taken care of by Gianna, and she had already made up her mind to give the crystal to Gianna when she promised to help her a few days ago.

But those fragments are not useless, the Silver Hand had previously reminded her that those fragments of the Eye of Sargeras are the top materials, and they can be used to amplify the power of order after being purified by the chaotic power on it, and when Claudia learns the Book of Order, it can be purified, and in the process of purification, it can greatly improve her mastery of the Book of Order.

Gianna couldn't put it down and played with the yellow crystal, and after Claudia put away the shards, she told Gianna about the origin of the crystal: "This is a sacred relic ...... of a race of light in the world of Draenor. ”

At this moment, an arcane servant walked up to Gianna, who frowned and said to Claudia, "That night elf named Illidan is waiting for you outside the door, do you need me to accompany you?" ”

Claudia waved her hand: "Don't worry, Sister Gianna, I'm also a Hero Paladin now, and besides, I don't think he's going to be bad for me." ”

Gianna advised, "It's better to be careful, don't go too far from the door." ”

Claudia smiled and agreed, and met Illidan at the door, and by this time there was already a circle of human knights around him, most of whom looked at Illidan with a wary face, for fear that he would be bad for Claudia or Gianna.

Claudia gestured to reassure the knights, and then asked, "Is there something wrong, Illidan?" ”

Illidan spoke with gratitude, "Thank you for helping me speak in front of my brother today, Ms. Claudia. ”

Claudia shook her head: "No need to thank me, Illidan, my face is not so big, it is your brother Malfurion who really forgives you, I hope you can remember today's lesson and not make similar mistakes again." ”

"My brother?" Illidan obviously didn't want to continue the conversation, and instead said, "Lady Claudia, I noticed that you humans are looking for fragments of the Eye of Sargeras, and I have quite a few here, I hope this will help you." ”

Illidan took out a bag and handed it to Claudia, but Claudia didn't take it immediately, and asked curiously, "Don't you need it?" ”

"It's so completely shattered, no matter what, it's impossible to restore it to its original artifact, and these fragments don't have much effect on me."

Claudia took the bag containing the fragments in Illidan's hand and thanked her, "Thank you, Illidan, these fragments are really useful to me, and you're welcome." ”

Illidan smiled, "Alright, I'll go back first, goodbye, Lady Claudia." ”

Claudia also said goodbye to Illidan and shook the bag in her hand: "Goodbye, Illidan, thank you again for sending me the shards." ”

Claudia then returned to the room, and told Gianna what had just happened, and when they opened the bag, both girls were surprised by the number of pieces in the bag, and it seemed that almost all of the pieces were here, except for the pieces in Gianna's hand, and they really didn't know how Illidan had collected them.

While Claudia and Gianna were talking, the Arcane Servant came over again, and Gianna looked embarrassed after communicating with the Arcane Servant, and said to the curious Claudia:

"There's another guest coming, you have to stay with me."
