Chapter 167: The Tower
Oss watched Khadgar walk past him silently, neither stopping him nor signaling it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ In his perception, Khadgar's breath has always been very stable, which is completely inconsistent with the hangover and idiot image he shows.
Outside the door, in the face of Khadgar getting closer, Gianna was the first to react, and she did not hide her disgust at all, pinching the beautiful Joan nose and taking several steps backwards.
Then, seeing that Oss had never said anything, Deliana frowned slightly, and stopped talking, and then retreated to Gianna's side.
In contrast, Chromie and Onexia were much more calm, not only did they not care about the smell of alcohol and the strange smell in their faces, but they also ignored the ...... that Khadgar reached out to them both Salting!
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Ahh
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
Belch...... Chromie and Onexia were not calm at all, they each punched a fist, accompanied by a terrible howl, and the whole bar seemed to shake three times after another drink!
Khadgar flew upside down, his body almost smashing through the wall, and then falling to the floor again. And after a convulsion, he was ...... There was no sound......
Os, who was standing in the room, squeezed his eyes hard, bared his teeth, and his back was slightly cold. He looked at Khadgar, who was silent on the floor, and then turned his head to look at Chromie and Onexia, who were retracting their white fists, and felt a sense of empathetic pain......
"This!" Deliana was undoubtedly the most ordinary of all the people present, and she took a few steps forward full of worry, and said to Oss, "Os, he ...... He doesn't seem to be breathing, what can he do? β
Oss took the initiative to shake his fiancΓ©e's hand, signaling that she didn't need to worry, and then said to Khadgar, who was pretending to be dead, with a smile on his face: "Okay, Khadgar, stop acting, there are no outsiders here, get up." β
Khadgar was still motionless, no heartbeat, no chest heaving as he breathed.
As one of the two people who made the move, Onexia didn't care if a mortal lived or died. Although she was very puzzled that she had killed someone even though she hadn't used too much force just now, even if it was really dead, it didn't matter.
Chromie is different, the cute bun has a nervous look on her face, and she is really a little dumbfounded. She looked at her little hand in amazement, having the same doubts as Onexia.
"You say he's acting? What kind of play? Who is it for? Gianna asked curiously.
Oss let go of Deliana's hand and shrugged as he approached Khadgar: "I don't know, there are no people watching him around here. β
With that, Oss leaned over, stretched out his hand and shook Khadgar's shoulder.
At this moment, Khadgar, who was lying face down on the floor, suddenly saw an orange staff in his right hand, and grabbed Oss's ankle with his left hand!
"I've got your wait!"
Emerald green light instantly poured out from the orange staff in Khadgar's hand, and a whirlwind rolled up, enveloping him and Oss like a cocoon!
The light was not intense, nor dazzling, but it had a special magic that made it impossible for people a few steps away to look at it directly! Even with the dragon eyes of Chromie and Onexia, they couldn't see through this materialized emerald green light cocoon!
"Whoosh!"
Eventually, when the light cocoon closed, a crack was suddenly torn in the room! In the blink of an eye, Khadgar dragged Oss into this pitch-black spatial crevice and disappeared without a trace!
"Os!" The light faded, and in the messy room, only Deliana's shouts remained.
Emerald green, the four sides of the world are emerald green, hazy, like illusion!
Aside from being able to see the marble floor under his feet with the naked eye, there was nothing obstructing as far as the eye could see, only endless!
And in front of Oss, Khadgar, who had regained his original appearance, combed his hair meticulously, his expression was resolute and serious, and his bearing was magnificent! He was wearing a pure white mage robe, which was windless and automatic, and it was surging with huge magical energy! The orange long-handled staff in his right hand, although it was broken and broken at the end of the head and tail, still radiated the powerful power and unique spirituality inherent in the artifact, as if nothing in the world could be defeated!
"There are really no outsiders here!" Khadgar's voice is overwhelming!
"Roar!" The loud roar of the dragon should be as overwhelming as Khadgar's voice!
In the midst of that roar, an adult dragon larger than Onexia's body appeared behind Khadgar! And this giant dragon is the same as this heaven and earth, the whole body is green, as if transparent, it seems to be real but not real, but it seems to be virtual and not virtual!
Oss looked at the world, the very different Khadgar, and the dragon that suddenly appeared, and asked, "This is here?" β
"Teacher's home, Void World." Khadgar answered Oss's doubts and added, "I met Sir Lothar when he led his army south. β
In a heavy tone, pulling out the past that he didn't want to recall, Khadgar paused for a long time before continuing: "I hope to hear you say it again, right at the teacher's observatory, listen to you say the truth again!" β
"Well, this matter has to start with the guardian of the previous generation, Medivan's mother Egwen." Oss immediately said, "At that time, Egwen ......"
Os's bright voice echoed in the boundless void world, and Khadgar and the spirit void dragon as the listeners did not make a sound from beginning to end, and did not interrupt Oss's narration.
"In the end, the elite squad you led with Sir Lothar raided Karazan and killed your teacher. It was after the death of your teacher that his soul was finally separated from that of Sargeras, but also fell together into the vastness of the universe. β
Khadgar silently listened to the truth he had already heard once, and the magic of the mage's robes slowly calmed down. What is different from the outside is his heart, which cannot be calmed down no matter what.
"Before I heard the truth from Sir Jazz, there were three doubts that kept bothering me." Khadgar waved his hand back, ordering his teacher's domesticated Void Dragon to stand aside, and said sadly, "First, what did the teacher open the door of darkness for; Second, our elite team really broke into Karazhan, which was controlled by the teacher; Third, the teacher cast a curse on me during his experience, but why did he help me change that curse? And now...... Everything is understood......"
"Ugh." Oss sighed, "Mourning." β
Khadgar raised his left hand, trembling slightly, and touched the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and then touched his hair. He confronted Oss, the man he had met for the first time, and told about the past, revealing his bitterness: "At the age of five, I was selected to be a secret agent and sent to Karazhan to follow his teacher. In fact...... I'm to Dalaran, I'm to Kenrito...... There is not much memory at all...... Rather, it's this tower that has my childhood and fond memories. β
This time, Oss became a silent listener.
Khadgar, however, suddenly stopped, his left hand lowered in a dejected manner, and his gaze wandered. He wanted to cry and express all his emotions with tears, if he were still the young man in his twenties. But now, after experiencing the curse of the devil, he has spent thirty years in a short period of time, and has become a middle-aged man in his fifties, how can he cry!
"I'm ......," Khadgar said, looking up at the endless starry sky above the observatory beyond the emerald green barrier, "I should have died with my teacher on that day...... I killed my own teacher with my own hands, and the teacher saved me......"
Khadgar didn't explain it in detail, but Oss figured out why. At that time, Khadgar fell under the curse of Sargeras, and his life passed rapidly, and he aged by as much as thirty years in an instant! And it was precisely after the physical death that Medivan, who was separated from Sargeras's soul, saved his apprentice at the last moment!
"Condolences." Oss couldn't say anything more, he understood Khadgar's mood very well, because he also had a teacher, a good teacher who cared for him and taught him, "What's next for you?" β
Khadgar shook his head, he really hadn't thought about what he was supposed to do.
"With Etiyesh in hand, you are the guardian of this generation, so you might as well go south with me to fight the Burning Legion."
When Khadgar heard this, especially when he heard the name of the Burning Legion, his momentum suddenly became fierce again. But after a few seconds, he shook his head again and said, "Etiyesh just doesn't reject me, I'm not its master, so I can't exert its power, and I'm not a guardian. Moreover, it was partially destroyed in that battle, and the fragments are missing. β
"It doesn't stop you from doing what you have to do."
"If I don't know the truth, I'll go south with Sir and continue to fight side by side, maybe one day I'll die on the battlefield. But now......" Khadgar still looked at the world above him, "I just want to find my teacher!" β
"Alas......" Oss sighed again, "it is countless times more difficult to find a soul in the universe and void than to find a needle in a haystack. β
Khadgar gripped the handle of the staff with his right hand and clenched his left hand into a fist.
"The last time I talked to Jazz, there was one thing I didn't tell him, his friend Medivan, your teacher Medivan, had a widow."
"What!? What the!? Khadgar's eyes widened and he exclaimed incredulously, "How is this possible!?" I mean, I've been following the teacher all these years, and he's never had a woman! β
"Yes, you and Sir know each other, it's Garona."
βοΌοΌοΌβ Khadgar's eyes widened a little more, and he forgot to breathe in shock.
At this moment, around Oss and Khadgar, the air of the observatory suddenly drilled into a large number of bronze spots.
At the same time, in the room on the second floor of the bar where Dalaran had another drink, Chromie, who was concentrating on casting spells with a staff in his hand, cheered happily: "Found it!" β
At Karazan's observatory, Khadgar was still digesting what Oss had just said, not noticing the bronze dots of light. And when Chromie cast the spell again and shouted "Hourglass flip", the bronze points of light in the observatory suddenly joined into a bronze halo, reversing time and bringing Oss and Khadgar back to the crowd.
