Chapter 489: Tolbairn's Tomb (2/4)
"To the cemetery?"
Carlos was puzzled, but the Lord's orders could not be disobeyed, which was the highest rule of the Assassin Corps.
Late at night, the two avoided patrolling Riptide Castle guards and infiltrated the cemetery, arriving at the entrance and exit of the underground tomb.
Surrounded by greenery along the way, the cemetery of Riptide Castle is more beautiful than in any other country, after all, it is not only the members of the Tolbairn family who are buried here, but also the blood of Soladin the Great.
"My lord, you can't go any further! I've heard that the magic here is legendary, it was woven by several archmages and a dozen high-level mages hundreds of years ago, and no one can break it! Carlos hurriedly dissuaded.
Hundreds of years ago, Riptide Castle didn't decline like it does now, so it wouldn't be a problem to hire a few archmages. After all, it is the capital of the ancient Alaso Empire, and the mages of Dalaran also have to give face.
"No, the protective barrier here has disappeared!"
Jiang Zheng didn't perceive the existence of any protective barriers.
He stepped forward, without any hindrance, and walked into the entrance.
"This, this can't be! There should be a magical enchantment here, I saw Prince Garin open the enchantment with a sigil before entering! After he's gone, I can't get in! Carlos hurriedly explained, for fear that Jiang Zai would think that he was not doing well.
Jiang Zai stretched out his hand and stopped him.
"Shhhh Don't talk! ”
The scanning of the game compartment has been turned on, although there is no protective enchantment, but there is an invisible magic sentry, apparently someone has closed the protective enchantment and entered the tomb, and it is also a mage, at least a mage at the archmage level!
Someone, like himself, also wanted to enter the catacomb, and he didn't know how to find the sigil?
Could it be that someone else wants to fight the corpse of King Soras?
Could it be that those guys from Northrend also intervened? The forces entrenched in Riptide Fort are actually not three, but four?
Those disgusting fellows of the Cursed Sect, why are you everywhere?
"Carlos, stay away, don't come closer."
Jiang Zai opened the power of the large game warehouse, quickly scanned the situation inside the tomb, and then saw a familiar figure.
With a command from Carlos, Jiang Zai quietly entered a stealth state, carefully avoiding the magic sentry and entering the catacomb.
Although lit by eternal magic lamps on both sides, it is still slightly dark.
"Be careful, be careful, be careful! Kel'thugad is not easy to deal with! ”
Jiang Zai was careful and did not dare to relax in the slightest.
Kel'thugad is inside, and he's not the only one!
In fact, there are several psychics inside, as well as an even larger number of other members of the Cursed Cult. The net of the cursed sect has actually been spread here, and Kel'thugad is really wide enough!
At this moment, in one of the deepest tombs, Kel'thugad is working with several psychics to arrange a transformation circle for a very simple purpose:
Resurrect King Solas and become a Death Knight!
In Jiang Zheng's impression, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse have undergone two changes.
The first Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse were led by the elder Mograine, then Lord Kurtaz and two others. Among them, the elder Mograini is the leader of the four knights, the legendary level, and the other three are all at the big professional level.
Later, the elder Mograine died and was replaced by Baron Rivendell, and the specifications of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse were lowered by a notch.
Later, the coalition Northern Expedition killed the Lich King, and the new Lich King, in the face of the return of the legion, ordered the reorganization of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
The new Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are the orc "General Nazgorin", King Soras, Sally Whitemayne, and Darien Mograini.
The new Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse is obviously more luxurious than the original!
However, now, due to Jiang Zheng's interference, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse have not been formed at all, and Naxxramas has fallen into the hands of the Forsaken.
Could it be that Kel'thugad is still continuing the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and has chosen King Soras?
During World War II, many heroes emerged from mankind. In terms of warriors, in addition to Marshal Lothar, the most powerful is probably this King of Solas.
His status is even higher than that of old Mograini. Kel'thugad chose him, I am afraid that he not only wanted to form the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, but also wanted to use the identity and power of King Solas to turn Riptide Castle into the territory of the undead, and invade Lordaeron again!
If the Scourge really occupies Fort Riptide, defending the Sador Bridge to the south, the Wall of Soradin to the west, the sea to the east, and the mountains to the north, it will be difficult to break through here and clear the undead.
Riptide Fort is too important, the throat of the north and south, the place where soldiers must fight, and there is absolutely no room for loss!
If Arthas came in person, relying on the power of Frostmourn, he could directly resurrect King Solas as a Death Knight.
However, Kel'thugad did not have such a powerful artifact, relying on his own strength and the cursed tome he had compiled after studying spiritism and the Book of Medivan.
No one knew what the content of the cursed tome was, and even others didn't know the existence of this tome at all, Jiang Zheng only knew a name, knowing that this tome could give the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse extremely powerful power, and at the same time bring them an eternal curse.
At this moment, the transformation circle was about to be completed, and Kel'thugad had already raised his staff, picked up the tome, and prepared to cast a spell.
"King Solas, it's mine!"
Jiang Zheng quietly sneaked away, avoiding all the magic sentry and members of the Cursed Sect, and slowly approached.
It was not far from K'l'Ùthugad, and he could even see the soul fire jumping in K'l'Ùthugad's head and feel his joy.
The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse were his proudest masterpieces, and now that one of them was about to be resurrected, and a human king was about to become his servant, how could he not be happy?
A low, dark voice sounded slowly, the transformation circle had been arranged, and Kel'thugad began to chant a spell to resurrect King Soras.
The coffin had been opened, and a gray mist filled the body of King Soras, and then the corpse slowly floated up, floating to a height of one and a half meters, standing still.
Suddenly, Jiang Zheng sensed the pervasiveness of the dead qi, and the scope covered by this transformation array was not only this tomb, but the entire underground area, all the tombs!
Jiang Zai was shocked:
What Kel'thugad wants to resurrect is not King Solas alone, but the previous kings who are sleeping here, as well as the royal family and royal family members who accompanied the previous kings, and all the members of the Torbairn and Soladin families whose bones are still alive!
Jiang Zheng lowered his head and saw gray-green rune rays connecting with each other along the masonry, eventually forming a huge transformation array.
Such a large formation is definitely not something that can be completed in a day or two, and the Cursed Sect's plan in Riptide Castle has probably been a long time, at least a month or two?
Can all this really be hidden from the eyes of the Assassin League?
It seems that some information is hidden by the Duke of Choraci, and wants to see my jokes?
Jorazi, the territory you want to get, must shrink!
If the transformation is really completed, and all the hundreds or thousands of bones sleeping underground are resurrected, it will be an unimaginable force, I am afraid that it will change the situation of Riptide Castle in one fell swoop, and when the undead plague is raging, it will be impossible for Desailok to curb the expansion of the undead, and Riptide Castle will inevitably fall into the hands of the Scourge Legion.
This is unthinkable!
"Little madness, find out the weakness of this transformation circle for me! The biggest weakness! ”
