Chapter 172: Stargazing at Night—This is the cover of the big X
Carl discovers that he suddenly has a special love for the night sky of Draenor.
It's not red.
Tell Onexia about the influence of the red sun on him, and it took several days to calm down the worried black dragon MM.
Karl sighed, the red sun was not fatal to him, but he had also put a shackle on himself, and he had to be careful about the rest of the trip, he didn't want to capsize in the gutter.
"Khadgar!"
The great mage was startled, the telescope in his hand fell, and the person began to slide down. He hurriedly grabbed the top of the tower with one hand.
"Damn, can you not show up so silently!"
Karl caught the telescope and flew to the top of the tower, and laughed at Khadgar:
"Look at what is so fascinating, it can't be a big beauty, Khadgar. I guess even if an orc crawls behind you, you don't know. ”
"You think I'm as laid-back as you." Khadgar rolled his eyes at Karl in annoyance, "I'm observing the stars of this world, and maybe I can find the way and time for the tribe to use the artifact." You know, the more powerful the magic, the more it requires strict timing and immense power. ”
Karl nodded, this tower was established by the expeditionary force in the past few months, in addition to serving as a sentry post to monitor the distance, another role is to use it as a stargazing platform for the great and mage. Beneath the tower is a fortress rebuilt from the shattered ruins, rudimentary but strong enough to withstand the orcs.
The expeditionary force charged into Draenor, chasing the fleeing orcs until they were blocked by a massive fortress.
Hellfire Fortress!
That's its name. It was an abominable and disgusting place, and from a distance, its structure was fragmented, consisting of various jagged edges, large numbers of brown boulders, and various corridors twisted back and forth like giant snakes. Traditional orc villages consist mostly of small buildings, houses, and towers. In contrast, if the Hellfire Citadel had any resemblance to them, it was that a place that should have been in perfect harmony had been so distorted, just as the orcs themselves had fallen.
Orcs often frame their huts with green branches, which are covered with tree trunks, and these buildings are made entirely of black stone with thick iron trim. Strange pillars supported the fortress around the building, and their top were glowing steel spikes, like several huge clawed hands reaching out from the cracked earth and grasping at the Hellfire Fortress.
The twisted paths that connect the top of the fort don't seem to be deliberate, but the product of the melting down of the building. Behind it stands a taller spired tower, where the chief's seat rests.
The expeditionary Alliance forces could not hide their shock when they saw this fortress, which was completely different from the architectural style of Azeroth. It's not as magnificent as Stormwind and Lordaeron, not as grand as Ironforge, or as gorgeous as Silvermoon. But it is wild and hideous, and it exudes a bloodthirsty and furious wildness from the inside out......
After several commanders disputed, the expeditionary force did not immediately launch an attack on the Hellfire fortress, and the alliance now had the upper hand, and the steady Tulayan preferred to build a fortress here, gather strength, and then give the orcs a fatal blow, while Karl and Danas believed that they should pursue the victory and not give the orcs a chance to breathe.
"And what's your progress?"
"I don't have a clue yet. The only thing I can confirm is the tribe's orc named Neozu, who has obtained the Scepter of Sargeras, the Book of Medivan, and the Eye of Dalaran, and he can cast spells. But he didn't. Khadgar's face was puzzled, "Obviously, what else is he waiting for?" ”
"Let me guess," Karl pinched his chin, "it usually takes a lot of energy to open a portal, right?" Three artifacts plus Gul'dan's Skull are enough to open a portal to other worlds. But Naozu didn't do that, so there was only one possibility left......"
"What is possible?"
Not Khadgar's voice, but a refreshing and loud female voice.
"Aurelia, why are you here too?" Khadgar asked in surprise as he looked at the female elf who had lightly leaped to Karl's side.
"Just trying to get out and breathe, the damn red sunlight during the day is disgusting." Aurelia spread her hands slightly, "What do you seem to be discussing?" Don't mind if I join. ”
"When ......," Khadgar subconsciously looked at Karl and saw the latter nod, "...... Yes, you can. ”
Aurelia took Khadgar's small movements in her eyes and glared at Carl, who turned his head to look at the sky, not in the mood to argue with Miss Tsundere.
"Karl, you're saying that Naozu has a bigger conspiracy?"
Khadgar saw that Carl and Aurelia were a little cold, and hurriedly asked.
"Perhaps. Neozu is the main culprit in attracting the Burning Legion, and from his reintegration of the orc clan left behind by Draenor, to sending soldiers to our world to loot artifacts, there are signs that the sinners of this tribe have woken up and are trying to save their people. Karl said lightly, "Of course, it may not be that Neozu is just trying to steal the great power for his own use at the right time, and don't forget, Gul'dan is the apprentice of the old orc. ”
"I think it's the former."
Khadgar pondered for a moment, then looked up and said, "I have seen some descriptions of orcs in the master's notes, this race was not originally what it is now, they have faith, reverence for ancestors, and follow nature, and among them there is a kind of spellcaster called shaman, who has a high position in the clan, as far as I know, Naozu is such a respected old shaman. ”
"You mean, Naozu, who is guilty of the irreparable damage he has caused to the tribe and Draenor by bringing demons to him, came to his senses and reorganized the power of the orcs to find a new way out for his people, and the orcs believed that the old shaman could lead them to a new life?" Aurelia tilted her head to look at Khadgar.
"Maybe that old orc doesn't think one portal is enough, and wants to open a few more."
Aurelia pouted and laughed casually, only to find Khadgar's eyes widen suddenly.
"What do you say?!!!" Khadgar flashed in front of Aurelia and grabbed her shoulders, her cheeks contorted with excitement, "What did you just say?!!! ”
"Hey, calm down, old card!" Carl reached out and pressed the gaffe wizard until Khadgar woke up and turned around, and then Carl let go of his hand and shrugged his shoulders at the embarrassed Khadgar.
"I'm sorry! Aurelia. I ......"
"I understand." Aurelia said, her eyes looking at Carl, a faint smile on her lips.
"I know what Naozu is up to." Khadgar's tone was still a little excited, "As Aurelia said, if Neozu is really looking for a new way out for the orcs, then he must be planning to open more portals, and he wants to send as many orcs as possible to other worlds. ”
"So......" Karl smiled and looked at Khadgar.
"So he's waiting for an opportunity, one that will give him the energy to open more portals."
"So, where is the timing?" Aurelia asked, a little surprised that she had already believed Khadgar's reasoning.
"This ......," Khadgar choked, "...... Uh, I'm working on it, probably...... Should ......"
"Look at this!"
Karl tossed the telescope back to Khadgar and pointed at the sky above him, where countless stars were shining.
Khadgar picked up the binoculars with a puzzled look on his face and looked at the night sky that Carl was pointing.
"Nothing special, it's all stars. Carl, you ......"
"You should connect them together to form a pattern to look at." Karl pointed in a wise man's tone.
Pattern ......, though still confused, Khadgar observed as Carl had said.
After a while, the bored Aurelia began to get impatient.
"Constellation! Asterism!!! ”
Khadgar suddenly shouted excitedly, "I know, I know!! ”
"What do you know?" When Aurelia saw Khadgar jumping and jumping like a madman, she wanted to laugh, but she had to keep the lady's reserve, and she couldn't bear it.
Khadgar ignored Aurelia and laughed maniacally.
Karl rolled his eyes helplessly, grabbed the binoculars and handed them to Aurelia, motioning for him to look at the night sky that Khadgar had just observed.
"What do you think that zodiac sign you are?"
Aurelia looked through the telescope, the twinkling stars were so beautiful in the night sky, it was refreshing, and Carl spoiled his wonderful feelings, glared at him fiercely, and then observed again.
"I think -- it's like ...... Like a block? ”
Aurelia was a little unsure.
"That's right, you can be more specific."
"The seat of the scroll is the seat of the scroll!!"
Before Aurelia could answer, Khadgar had already rushed over with a thick book.
"Let's take a look at this." Khadgar pushed his hand into Aurelia's hand, his trembling fingers pointing to a pattern of constellations. Aurelia looked down in surprise, the pattern of the constellation was almost exactly the same as what she had just seen. On the side of the pattern is written - "Seat of the Scroll!" ”。
"Astral Mage Medivan excels in a wide variety of fields, including astronomy. His notes contain some astrological charts that I have never seen before, the constellations of this world. These are still things I sorted out from his messy secretaries. ”
"The Constellation of the Scroll corresponds to the Book of Medivan, so the Scepter of Sargeras and the Eye of Dalaran must also have corresponding star maps, and it is evident that Neozu went to Azeroth to seize the artifact because of these constellations—"
"Yes, yes, that's it!" Khadgar became agitated again, completely ignoring Aurelia's wrath, snatching the telescope and searching the night sky for the other two constellations.
Aurelia's small jade hand clenched into a fist and slammed into Khadgar, then abruptly stopped. Looking at Khadgar, who had completely ignored her and Carl, and turned her head to meet Carl's smiling gaze again, the tsundere eldest lady snorted heavily, stomped her foot, and turned to walk down.
