Prelude 8
It was only that night that I realized the seriousness
Because I didn't want to expose myself and her behavior, I was going to send her to the priestess as before, but because of the intensity of her behavior last night, Maitwyne was now very weak and confused, and I didn't give her any time to rest before, so that she was now unable to act independently after prostration.
Yes, if purely personally, Matt Wynne's curvy figure and supple hair are human beauties in themselves, and her loyalty and affection, combined with her paladin's strong physique, are absolutely capable of bearing whatever I have brought her, and more importantly, all that she wants, and indulges everything she has
Of course, there was something else that I could always feel in her, the way her silver hair shone in the dark night, which reminded me of Mavi, who was already pregnant and could not show her outlet, and Wen Leisa, who I would never get it, but who always had a trace of residual thoughts in the deepest part of my heart. You can always find these shadows in her, especially when she is in a blur. So I felt as if I was not releasing a person, but my unrelieved existence. Not only that, but the most important thing is that she has endured it stubbornly, and she is completely confused and can't forget it.
In this regard, I was even more aroused by my invisible possessiveness. So the impact was carried out non-stop. It wasn't until the next day that I realized that I had to take her out half an hour before the morning guard went to work, but at this moment she had sunk her, as if she could not wake up for a short time, and was immersed in confusion.
I couldn't wait, so I could only take advantage of this time to simply change her clothes, and then wrapped myself in my own quilt and went to the priestess. But before I could knock on the door, to my surprise was the door that Mavi had opened for me, and not only that, but Gianna behind me was obviously asleep in the priestess quarters of the Chase Shop.
"Mavi!" I was amazed, especially in the moonlight, watching Mavi holding the door and looking at me as if I thought of her murderous aura as an assassin, and I almost fell off Maitwyne in my arms, but she didn't fall, it was the quilt on her body that fell, and of course Lisa woke up, and understood her situation and deep shyness.
Mavi ignored me, but took Maitwyne in my hand, who was almost the same weight as hers, and first made a preliminary investigation of her condition, to which she quickly decided what I had done to her, or to what extent.
"You want to say sorry to me? Maybe you should tell Matt Wynne that you shouldn't do this to her. She's just a human being who has just experienced the world, and if you treat her like this, aren't you afraid that she will be completely confused by you?"
Mavi's rebuke woke Mattwyne completely, and she was horrified at the realization of the situation, but even so she thought of me.
"It's me, on my own initiative. It's not Your Majesty's fault, I"
She said so softly that Mavi sighed even more.
"One of you is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, what else can I say. But I've got to check on your body, I don't want you to get sick last night. β
"Thank you, Princess. β
For Maite Wynne's statement, Mavi is still unforgiving, but it is obviously one of the other aspects
"I'm your sister now, and Lisa doesn't call me that way because of my age, but because of who you are, just as we call Sister Gianna, and you have to know that Matt Wynne may be a thing of the past. β
"Yes, Sister Mavi. Lisa said this, and she breathed a sigh of relief inside, she knew that she was accepted, and although this situation made her seem very indecent, it was better to be like this.
While Mavi was talking to Lisa, Gianna had already gotten up to see what had just happened, and was aware of what had just happened, and walked over gracefully in her pajamas, knowing that at this time she could no longer be the same as before when she saw Maite Wynne.
"I think last night's experience was unforgettable for you, sister. β
"Me"
"It's going to get used to it slowly. β
"Maybe in view of your situation, I can only give you the title of side princess, after all, you know, I must distinguish according to ability and merit, I hope you are satisfied. β
"My sister originally intended, and it was already a great honor to be accepted by my sisters. β
"No, just like you hope, I hope you can be like me to become a rival to Mavi, just like you want in your heart, and there is no need for us sisters to hide such emotions and thoughts from each other, after all, we are a family, you are welcome to join, I believe you will enjoy being one of us." Gianna said this, and Mavi looked very embarrassed about this, it is true that compared to ability, Gianna is indeed worse than Mavi, but after all, Mavi has more than 10,000 years of experience than them, which is probably something that Gianna will never be able to surpass. "But what I'm talking about matching Mavi is just a hope, I just hope that we can all work hard, and we will maintain our big family together no matter what. β
"I understand. β
The episode was over, and I was on track, and after washing up, Gianna kept Mattwyne, who wanted to go back to her post, because she knew that in the past, the three of us would talk about something very intimate, but obviously she didn't need to avoid anything. Yes, this is the first time we've discussed issues in such a capacity, and of course I'm worried that she'll change my mind because of some of my sinister ideas, but Mavi and Gianna seem to trust her to do it well, after all, she has to have a first time anyway.
In the exchange of views on recent events, we have seen that several of us are thinking in the same way, such as putting Fording's son Tyran and Mavi's deputy Mai Lin in charge of this matter. And there is no objection to letting Ronin and Falic continue to supervise the situation in Kurtilas, and at the same time build a large number of large-tonnage fishing and merchant ships there, and by the way, build some warships, and so on. But beyond that, and to my surprise in the landing of the Resistance in search of Lordaeron, it was Maitwyne's opinion, who was the first to make the same opinion as us, but to my astonishment, and to my astonishment, I found that my own ideas of the correctness of my domestic policy were almost lost
According to her intelligence, some of my unconventional practices in the Silver Hand, and the annexation of Alterac and Gilneth and the use of werewolves, have made them very unhappy with me, which means that they are not loyal to me. And those diehards inside have long been shown to be a little extreme and abrupt, and even intrigue with each other, for example, when Foding was caught by others because of the orc affairs, and they were punished because of this, except for Uther, who was loyal to the law and had a clear distinction between public and private, there were not many people who interceded for him, or showed any regrets, but many people celebrated. They were even very hostile to me, especially when they later learned that I had saved Buddha and sent him to the orcs. So Matt Wynne decided to leave them. Of course, in addition to this, she also said a lot of reasons, but these are the reasons that we have already discussed.
I was surprised to hear this, but everything seemed to make sense. I've seen Rivendell, and if he's been degraded by demonic temptation, or even replaced, there's nothing surprising for anyone else to behave like this. Now that Mattwynne can say this, I can see that she also realizes that I and my mentor Uther are opposites, otherwise these words that are very contrary to the faith in the Light will obviously be reprimanded by me. Mavi also added to Maitwyne's claims, both of them recounting to me about the Silver Hand, not being very friendly to me, and actually questioning me before the Burning Legion arrived. I couldn't help but fall into deep contemplation about this, because I thought that the most trusted and trusted troops in our family might not be my descendants, and maybe this would not necessarily lead them to betray me, but after encountering the catastrophe of the destruction of the world and I became an undead, it was obvious that they would not rely on me like this, or even be hostile.
I shake my head when I think about the old days, especially after seeing Mavi and Lisa join, I can always think of some bad memories of the past.
But not looking into those troops does not mean that we are going to the Silver Pine Forest to cut wood, and of course we must build a bridgehead near there to serve as a guard post, or even a small dockyard to facilitate our operations there, and to warn of possible threats to Kurtiras.
But other than that, Mattwynne made a good suggestion to build a portal to connect the main island of Theramore and Kurtilas. Gianna and I were very much in agreement, but Mavi Mavi was silent, probably because Mavi acquiesced in the previous suggestion, and we were not aware of Mavi's reservations about this opinion.
Obviously, only a mage can do this kind of work, and I unconsciously set my sights on Gianna like Lisa, but she said that she couldn't create a strong and stable path that the second phase was so far away. But just as Gianna turned to ask Mavi how to proceed, Mavi suggested asking Egwen.
We seem to have some memories of this, such as the invasion of the orcs, and indeed her son, if she had this power, then she should also have such power. This matter was prepared for Gianna and I to coordinate with her in the morning when we were working separately. But it was also time for us to prepare breakfast, and Mavi raised some of her concerns and opinions about the possible soul fusion, which could be the appearance of a new soul instead of any of the original.
I could think of this, and just when I was about to say that my sister was still pure will after the fusion, to my surprise, Mavi recounted something contrary to me, and that was that she and Gianna went to Stormwind last night to observe my sister, and kept me silent for a long time.
Perhaps I should have thought that this would be the end, if the soul fusion itself was a common inheritance of two people. Even if one can push one's own will, it is almost difficult, because a soul's survival is itself uncontrollable. Maybe I didn't know it at all, but Gianna, I don't want any soul to affect his will.
"If that's the case, then forget it, although Egwen's power is strong, but I value our personal subjective will, we can't covet these powers and change ourselves. β
"Arthas, perhaps we should look at the source, aren't you now also a merger with the Kel'thuga Germans, I don't even feel that he can influence your will, or even that he helps you in your troubles, there is nothing wrong with that, and the soul of the fusion is obviously stronger and stronger than before. β
I wanted to explain Gianna's doubts, but what I didn't expect was that Mavi explained it for me, and it was more detailed:
"No, in fact, he didn't have any place to merge with Arthas, that will was only lodged with Arthas, and now it is in the sword, and can only appear when he is summoned, but now because he has been suppressed by something, he can't use his power, or he is still in a coma, obviously that Kel'thugad also knows that his actions may affect Arthas, so he chose this path, and this is not soul fusion at all. β
"He does feel something suppressing and not being able to show up, do you know what it is?" Gianna asked with concern, as she noticed that Mavi seemed to know the reason, and she wanted to know about it, but to Gianna's surprise, the answer surprised her, because it was Mavi who was the source of this inhibition power.
"It's my vengeful god, he will draw all the lonely souls loyal to my will as power, such as Garethus and those dead warriors, so the loyal soul of Kel'thugad is always suppressed by the vengeful gods, after all, the essence of the vengeful gods is their aggregate, it may want to suppress the appearance of Kel'thugad in a way to prevent it from potentially invading Arthas, after all, the vengeful god does not have a will alone, but only a will given by its master. β
Mavi said, I know a little about this, I have always been under her protection, maybe I really don't know, Mavi has given me more.
"You're saying it holds the souls of many of our old friends. β
"Yes, almost an entire generation of priestesses still has many descendants of demigods, and when I die, I will also blend in and let others who are able to continue to inherit them, and then be summoned again when there is a real threat, this is my duty Shadow of the Luna. β
"But you summoned it when we were fighting against the tribe, and when I was in trouble, and more than once, Mavi, you seem to have betrayed your duty as a priestess, and perhaps the moon god asked you to take my soul, but you didn't do it, are you going to cast a long line to catch a big fish. I laughed, obviously expecting Mavi to be a little angry and blame me for being ruthless, but her answer surprised me.
"Maybe I've been a deviant because of you, Arthas, and you're all I have now. I know who to fight for, that's why we priestesses can't have families, we can't have children, Arthas, maybe I've become your vengeful god, I can't get rid of it" Mavi said, only the more she explained, the more choked up, after all, she may have paid more for me than I thought, and of course it made me feel more fortunate, but in addition to being happy, I also wondered more why she really paid so much for me. It's just that I didn't ask because my question seemed to question her kindness to me, and it naturally broke her heart. That's the last thing I want.
"So I won't let you down. I said this, but looking at Gianna and Lisa beside me, I felt as if I couldn't prove anything. "Mavi, I mean that we will always be your support, it has nothing to do with your past, even if your real purpose is to collect my soul, I want to say that no matter what, we will always believe in you. β
As I said this, Gianna added something as well, maybe they didn't communicate anything, but they both seemed to think together, and that was that they thought about our future.
"Arthas, don't you understand that the vengeful gods don't have a will alone because Mavi wants to leave it to you?" Gianna said, and it occurred to me that Mavi had told me this, and yes, if she was so loyal to me, she should have done so, but Gianna's words did not end, and she, as the queen, obviously had something to say to Maite Wynne. "And Lisa, no matter what trauma and grief your past hardships and other things have hurt you, this will also be the place you rely on the most, and I promise that it will definitely help you grow up, and I promise that we will always witness it. β
"I will always fight for us, Sister Gianna, and I will prove to you my loyalty and my worth. β
"I don't think there's anything to be done. Gianna said and turned to me, returning to the original topic as well. "Actually, I've thought about merging with her soul, and her resemblance to mine and the fact that I'm in a bottleneck do need her strength, maybe we shouldn't think so, Egwene will be like Kel'thugad, just a boarding existence. And even if it doesn't, I'm sure my new soul will be more helpful to us then. β
Hearing Gianna explain this, I was a little dissatisfied, and even said it directly regardless of the situation.
"It's too risky, I don't agree, if my sister's fusion with Valera can still be acceptable to me, but I don't want your soul to be disturbed in any way. β
"I don't agree either, Egwene is a strong-willed human mage, and although she would love to give you power, she can't control her will. Mavi explained. Mattwynne wanted to say something about that, but she clearly didn't quite understand what we were saying. Gianna didn't wait for her to say anything, but directly denied my understanding of Mavi and me. "I believe in myself, I believe that I am a more powerful mage than her, and the important thing is that her loyalty to you and to our entire alliance is unquestionable, especially her current situation, just like Sister Arya, and the one who fused her soul with her is the High Elf named Valera, and that doesn't affect any of us, does it?
"Gianna, this is different, if I knew that your soul could be hurt, I wouldn't risk it, just like you did to me. β
"But if it's you, you'll be like me, if I can't get stronger, I'll be eliminated eventually, just like Mavi you, if you don't get stronger, I'm afraid we'll all be imprisoned by the tribe now, aren't we? Arthas, your love for me can't restrain my growth and strength, maybe if I don't break away from you, if I don't experience this decisive battle with the Burning Legion, I'm afraid I'm just an ordinary mage, if we didn't use it to face a powerful horde alone without the help of Stormwind at that time, I wouldn't have mastered such a powerful skill as Death's Finger, wouldn't I?"
"Gianna, if you lose. β
"The new me will also have the existence of inheriting everything from me, and I will continue to stay by your side. β
"I will witness this moment with Ronin. β
"Then there would be no point. You know that only fair duels make sense, and I've heard similar situations where such soul duels only make sense when two people are ready. β
Gianna said this, to which Mavi had to admit it.
"You got it?"
"I've read about the records. This is a very strange ritual, legend has it, it was through this ritual when Tirisfa decided to take back Egwene's power, and she defeated many people, and carried many people's souls, plus the power of those previous mages, so it is not surprising that she was able to kill the weakened body of Sargeras, and if I am alive and new, I can have such power, maybe the revival of our race will be just around the corner, this is also our duty as human leaders, just like what Ronin saw at his last glance, if I don't do this, maybe our world will not be like that at that timeγ β
"I see, I hope that day will not be so close, and that time will hopefully you will be stronger. β
"Perhaps, but I want to be able to face it alone, I don't want anyone to interfere with this duel, Arthas, I hope that whoever will will be able to stand to the end, I hope that you can face it head-on, and that is me, as now. β
"I know, Gianna, I know, but I believe in you, in your will, in your will now. β
We didn't talk about it, but were silent for a while, and then we tried other topics and went our separate ways, and Mavi and Mattwynne went to the Chapel of the High Elves to the south. Gianna and I went to Egwene to discuss the construction of the portal. It's just that compared to before, I felt an inexplicable fear when I saw Egwene again, I had heard about her husband Elan, and of course Gianna, I don't know how sure she was that she would be able to defeat Egwene, but what I could be sure of was what Gianna said, maybe only by becoming stronger could I deal with new challenges.
So Egwene prepared to start this matter, and commanded some engineering teams to build the portal according to a certain pattern, and she also took out a magic book similar to the Book of Medivan that she had written, and gave it to Gianna, and told her how to use the relevant magic, and planned to start work on both sides at the same time.
In the following time, I watched them focus on communicating with each other and coordinating with each other, and I felt that I was a little narrow-minded, if the fusion of souls is the best way for the next generation to inherit the power of the previous generation, this may be an important reason why we human mages are always the most powerful mages among mortals. Yes, it's inheritance, inheritance of almost everything in the previous generation, just like we change ourselves with the passage of time and the environment, and there is nothing to refuse, because we have to become stronger, so that we can face a stronger threat, otherwise we will eventually be eliminated.
When I think of this, I also feel that I am indeed backward, backward thinking, and backward body. Now that I think about everything Mavi did to me, it was all for my sake, so I decided to improve my combat power according to Mavi's will.
So after returning to the command post, I asked the priestesses of Mavi to assassinate me completely in the form of assassins after I had taken care of some administrative affairs, and they gladly accepted my orders, and showed their real skills to train me almost in actual combat, yes, as Night Elves who have existed for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years, they are very aware of the importance of this, and fortunately, when they cause any wounds to my body, with Mavi's powerful healing powers, they can make up for it in time
Day after day, more than two months later, it is time for spring ploughing. I have also completed my combat power has surpassed the peak of my time before I became an undead, Mavi's body is getting heavier and heavier, and she can no longer participate in the combat training with me, Gianna's spells have also grown a lot under the guidance of Egwen, obviously she does not have any concerns and selfishness about Gianna because of the kind of duel she may have with Gianna, she really hopes that our human race will be strong in the future, maybe only she can have the consciousness that human beings who have experienced more than a thousand years of human beings. Of course, it is precisely because of this intensity and various tasks that Gianna still has no children.
Of course, Lisa's identity has also been made public, and her outstanding performance in medical ability and ambulance level has also been recognized by most people. The first human priestesses they taught, the mages taught by Gianna Egwen, and the apprentices of the new Silver Hand taught by Foding all showed some real combat abilities. At the same time, Muradin's dwarves have completed the construction of new blacksmith shops, and have already transported the first batch of finished products, namely sturdy iron farming tools, living iron, and steam tanks for cultivating land, to the manor and human market, and the manor in the southern part of Dust Bay has also been built, just in time for the spring to be heavier, and the situation of hostile relations with the tribes has also changed somewhat, and everything is on the road of Kalimdor.
Also on the eastern continent, with the completion of fishing boats, transports, and frigates, more parts of the Silver Pine Forest have been fortified, and Kurtilas has become safer, and has gradually returned to the way it was before the war. But the most remarkable thing is the portal that connects the two regions, and their connection also attracts the leaders of the other two forces of Varian and Magni to participate in the initiation of this opening ceremony, yes, compared to the dark portal twenty years ago, this portal is so exciting, when we enter each other's portals to reach another continent, this also marks the completion of this mission. In addition, the leaders of the three forces of our alliance talked to each other, regardless of each other's sincerity, which also made everyone feel that the revival of the alliance was just around the corner.
And that's just the beginning, we still have a lot to do, such as the maintenance of the agricultural industry, the tax rate for trade, and the help of Ironforge and Stormwind to build similar portals to each other, and our plans to rebuild a larger Northern Fort and improve the island of Theramore. It's just that the beauty is always lacking, and the deteriorating high elves also make us have to face more problems that need to be solved, plus some worries and the status quo of the black dragon is still unmoving, and I still have some worries in my heart that can't be erased. But overall, everything is going in a good direction.
On the other side, the Black Dragon King did not make any moves, but this did not mean that he did not observe the various races, he seemed to be indifferent when he saw the vigorous development of this human side. And it was this situation and his indifference that almost broke his son. After gaining new power and a large number of new subordinates, Nefarian thought that his father allowed him to set foot in the alliance, but he was never allowed to do so. And even the calm Onexia did not understand his father's arrangement. Because she could sense that what her father wanted in his heart was still the same as what his brother said, that is, to attack the mortals of this world, but from the beginning to the end, the Black Dragon King said that they could not make any moves, not even to contact some informants. The same was true for others, such as Kael'thas and some of the other undead generals, but there was one exception, he was well aware of the Black Dragon King's hard work, and the really bitter Black Dragon King couldn't help but ask some questions to the leader of the Dreadlord who seemed to know his thoughts:
"Do you think I'm right to do that?"
"Perhaps only history will prove you right or wrong, Your Majesty. β
"You are right, only history can prove my choice, but it is really hard to wait, I thought my patience was strong enough, but I didn't expect it," Nesario said, but it was at this moment that he suddenly thought of something, and he strengthened his will and roared at the people around him. "No one is allowed to ask Tikdios what he knows, and you and I, Lord of the Dreadlord, you can't reveal it to anyone. β
"I know very well, trust my loyalty, I will not joke with my fate. β
"You're right, I trust you, just like you said. β
They communicated like this, making the people around them even more confused, but obviously no one dared to disobey the will of the Black Dragon King. I can only say that I come here every day like this, get together, and then scatter.
I don't know how many days have passed, every time I meet like this, and I always go back without incident, Kael'thas talked about these things to his former colleagues, he originally thought that after joining the Black Dragon Legion, he would immediately receive the order to attack the alliance, and then crush the entire alliance with his powerful and endless army, and then kill me, but now he can't do anything. Anubarak knew his mind very well, but he was more worried that the Black Dragon King could only do this for one reason, that is, there was something more terrifying that the entire Black Dragon Legion, which was now extremely powerful and well-fed, was afraid, and all he could think of was something that was buried dozens of times deeper in the lowest layer of his Spider Kingdom. If it was really that force that was making some moves, maybe as the strongest legion, I am afraid that it would be difficult for me to be spared. Of course, Anubrak, as a member of the current Deathwing, can only persuade patience, and he really can't say anything else.
And this attitude also made Kael'thas very angry, and day after day this anger became heavier and heavier, although the intelligent Kael'thas also understood that there must be some power that the current Black Dragon King scruples, but Anubarak and the others from the Scourge's attitude towards self-inflicted attitude, it seems that they are hiding it from him, and there is a determination in his heart that wants to take revenge on the alliance more than anyone in the Black Dragon Legion, especially when he sees me mixed up again, and not only that, the appearance of Mavi and Lisa next to me makes him even more unwillingγ However, not everyone hid it from him, there was one person who was very peculiar, he noticed this change in Kael'thas, and put on makeup as a crypt demon approaching him to send him another message. Although this is a great risk of exposure, as the last vestige of strength left by his master, he has to do it, because the defeat in the Battle of Quicksand, coupled with the Devouring Legion of the Scourge Legion, he has no strength left, and he finds that Kael'thas may be an opportunity to change his fate.
In Kael'tham's own room, Frost Sorrow suddenly pointed him to something, and at this time Kael'thas found a huge crypt demon entrenched underground, but when he used Frost Sorrow to insert the guy who seemed to sneak up on him, Frost Sorrow seemed to make Kael'thas feel something, such as a powerful will in him. And this is exactly what Kael'thas needs, because he has long since disobeyed the policies of the Black Dragon King, and he feels that he has found what the Black Dragon King is afraid of.
The same "Crypt Demon" also sensed Kael'thas thoughts, so he revealed his true face and introduced himself:
"I am Lord Viklor, the only being loyal to the strongest ancient god Cthun, I hope"
"But let's not talk about the only one now, let's talk about what you want me to do. β
Kael'thas said cheerfully, and Viklor smiled when he heard this, he knew that he had found the right person, to which she quickly and in detail explained her plan, the measure to cooperate with the plans of some people, and this was the only chance to help her master.
On the other hand, Illidan here, after being rescued by a former acquaintance of his own, Vasqi returned to the country of Naga, for here, Illidan was very surprised, he didn't expect that the creatures he heard in prison that were sporadically found Naga were his former family. And they still maintain their kingdom in the depths of the sea. A country still the size of the capital and exactly the same as it was 10,000 years ago, the city's Peugeot is exactly the same as the main city of Aisara.
With the help of Vaschi, Illidan smoothly swam in the deep sea and observed everything here, and for Illidan's arrival, the Naga race was very surprised, but in addition to being surprised, he also seemed to know a little about Illidan, and his glorious achievements were now recorded, of course, among them there were other old acquaintances of Illidan, but Illidan could no longer recognize their traces, not because Illidan was forgetful, but because they did change a different look, if it weren't for some care, maybe Illidan wouldn't recognize Varskeyγ However, compared to Vaschi, the other figure, that is, the person who wanted to see him, did not need to be carefully identified by Illidan at all, because of her elegance and charm, only an elf like him who had lived for 10,000 years could have an impression and yearn for.
After learning of Illidan's arrival, Eshara actually led all the important ministers except Kodana, who had returned to the Night Elves, to greet Illidan's arrival at the entrance of the palace, and for this scene, Illidan couldn't help but think of some things in the past ten thousand years, and it was the same greeting, almost the same seat, and the same person. And he himself still couldn't help but behave the same way he did 10,000 years ago, and she wasn't like Naga, but in the form of an elf like himself.
Illidan unconsciously knelt down towards his former empress. And it also made Ashara laugh, but compared to 10,000 years ago, this time Essara's smile was more calm and deep, obviously, this 10,000-year experience made Essara, who was tens of thousands of years old, especially remember, but in the end, she was just like that time to welcome the arrival of a powerful warrior. A Night Elf warrior who is emotionally frustrated.
"Empress Azhara"
"You're more sophisticated and mature than you've been for 10,000 years, aren't you? My Night Elves' most powerful warrior. β
Hearing this, Illidan seemed to understand, or sobered up.
"Maybe I'm not fighting for you this time, I'm fighting for my race, and you let Vasqi tell me that you have a way to fight Deathwing now. β
"My race?" Azhara asked Illidan rhetorically. "You should know very well that there is no essential difference between the Night Elves and our High Elves, at most it is just a difference in skin color, although the remnants led by Darth Rema have expanded this difference after leaving Kalimdor, but 10,000 years ago we did not have any difference, just a different class, but now there is no such class, and Darth Reima, the remnants of the anti-king, do not seem to be able to get rid of that kind of bondage, and can only wait for death on land. β
Illidan affirmed Essara's various claims.
"Yes, that's right. It seems that you are also paying attention to everything that is happening all over the land. β
"Of course, I'm not just observing you, I'm also observing the Black Dragon King who has been observing you, I'm afraid he doesn't know that we exist on such a large scale, and that there is also our own kingdom. β
"Then you risked being found out and asked me to come here, you must have wanted me to surrender to you. But I think you're working in vain, and I don't want to unleash the even more terrifying Elder God behind you, the thing called Enzos, against the Black Dragon King. β
Illidan said this, yes, he also knew the Elder God, the thing that had tried to tempt him, and he was obviously ready to kill him by saying this, after all, if he became a puppet of the Elder God, he might as well choose to die in glory. However, Aishara does not seem to think so, and sneers at herself.
"Do you think like those ordinary people that I surrendered to the power of the old gods because I was corrupted by the old gods? Or do you think I covet some power, you know, even if I was a powerful guardian dragon at the beginning, the Black Dragon King was at most comparable to me, then you can think that I don't need any power at all. You should also understand that we were in a situation where the mighty Burning Legion and the more powerful Old Gods were eager to try, and if I didn't, do you think we would be able to resist one of them? β
"Like that earlier?"
"You must know that the predecessor of our elves was a weak tribe of trolls, and any troll clan can kill us in minutes, so we must desperately transfer to the land of hope, the Well of Eternity, although we didn't understand magic at that time were caused a lot of accidents by the power of the Well of Eternity, but we finally mastered that power through generations of efforts, and evolved into elves, and when we stood up in the most powerful era, all the troll clans could be wiped out by us in minutes, relying on forbearance and creating their contradictions and then waiting for opportunitiesγ β
"Hahaha, Empress Azhara, if it had been 10,000 years ago, I might have believed your nonsense, but I'm not a child anymore. β
"Maybe the choice is yours, you can choose to submit to me, or watch the Black Dragon King destroy you mortals one by one, you know that Nesario has that power. And he was very willing to do it. And my strength, you know, I'm not his opponent at all, and the same is true for any of you mortals, even if it's a combination, it's simply hard to stop. β
Aishara persuaded this, but although Illidan knew that what she said was all true, he still didn't want to admit it, he still didn't want to admit it, he wanted to know Aishara's true purpose
"Since you don't have the strength to fight him, why did you call me here?"
"But I have a way to hit them hard. Go to the Tomb of Sargeras and find the Eye of Sargeras, then instantly destroy the Deathwing inside the Icecrown Fortress so that if you can't kill him, you can definitely hurt that guy. Then he will be seriously injured and instantly weaken, and the original Undead Legion and the Burning Legion led by Tikdios will instantly counter Deathwing. This way Deathwing will lose the power to destroy the world, and the threat of this world will no longer exist, and you can regain the power of the Burning Legion to destroy Deathwing. β
"But why don't you do it, and I think you're greedy for those demons, so that you can get ready to step back on land."
"Quite simply, I don't want to be discovered. I don't think you'll ever succeed in capturing that thing, but I know you're thinking of destroying Deathwing, so I'll choose you, and I think you're right about whether you're coveting the power of the Burning Legion, but I prefer that this force is still under your control, and that you continue to be loyal to me as you swore for 10,000 years, so that we can restore the glory we once had 10,000 years ago, and make up for the mistakes I made. β
Azhara said categorically, and Illidan believed her completely, but it was also the case that his question could not help but come up:
"So, since you weren't corrupted at that time, what were your plans at that time? β
"It's very simple, introduce Sargeras, his strength can defeat any of the ancient gods, but he can't face the three of them together, I will lead them out one by one and fight with Sargeras, then who do you say will win. β
"I don't know, I'm afraid that a duel of such an order of magnitude, even they themselves will not know. β
"My calculation is that Sargeras might kill the first two and then be killed by the third, and at that point if I can rely on the demonic souls he left behind and the power of the Well of Eternity to turn the tables around. Even if this is not the case, I will release the Old Gods one by one to fight Sargeras, and even if Sargeras is knocked down by the first Old God, then we can take the opportunity to inflict heavy damage on the injured Old God, so that we can still remove the threat of the Burning Legion and eliminate a potential threat. In this way, we are concentrating all the mortal forces to slay the old god that has been badly damaged, and it will still be a victory for us. β
But we won, and you were nailed to the pillar of shame, and my brother became the new leader.
"But even now, it's still unrealistic, and if we were to resist any of them, we would all be destroyed or devastated. Malfurion and the group did it, but they still haven't eradicated them, and instead of continuing to face the threat now, we might as well take a gamble while they're weak, as I'm sure I would have done if you had done the same. β
"That's right, that's why I chose to join the Burning Legion halfway through, but I didn't expect that there would be the forces of the Old Gods. Maybe it's time for me to consider your suggestion, what can I do to destroy the black dragon. β
"The Eye of Sargeras will destroy the Icecrown Fortress in an instant, and the Black Dragon King may be able to withstand that power, but his power will inevitably be hit hard and lose control of the undead, and at the same time, his battered body will also make him disappear for a long time, and at that time you will be able to control those demons again, especially after you take the Eye of Sargeras, and the merit you can get by destroying the Black Dragon King is enough for you to re-establish your prestige in the world, maybe your sister-in-law can change her mind again. β
Azhara said with a slight playful smile, annoying Illidan a little.
"Then I want to ask you a second time, what is in it for you to do this, why don't you do it. β
"Because only you can explore the monument, and we have survived thanks to a gift from an old god, who doesn't have full control over us, I suspect he told me this secret to get something out of the Tomb of Sargeras. That's why I sent you, along with my loyal subordinate, and I don't want to reveal my identity, probably no other living person except you knows that I, Azhara, is alive and the master of the Naga, and I know that you must do that, otherwise the Black Dragon King's current strength can almost destroy the entire world. This is my answer for the second time and the final answer. β
"You're right, but you didn't answer me what you'd get. β
"We Naga will also be spared, and more importantly, you are one of our elves, and it may not be long before our elves will return to the glory they were 10,000 years ago. It can be regarded as my redress for my past mistakes, and more importantly, we can achieve the glory of the past, as for the Alliance and the Horde, if they do not become our slaves or untouchables, then their fate is no different from that of the Black Dragon King. β
"You still want to make up for your past mistakes?! Even though I'm in prison, all the information I've gotten about your Naga is negative, isn't it?"
"Who wouldn't make a mistake after all these years? Illidan was furious when he heard this, yes, it was the title he had received for his service to her 10,000 years ago. But Azhara didn't end there. "In the tens of thousands of years since you were born, I have led our people from almost nothing to a powerful empire, and my ability can even overshadow the people's belief in the moon god, do not forget that the light of the light is not my self-appointed, it is the title given to me by the people from the heart. β
"I can't argue with you, but the devil believes you. β
"History can't be witnessed, then the future will be witnessed, and you have no reason to refuse me, Nasario could destroy the Night Elves and other mortals at any time, if you are willing to wait, I don't have any opinion, but you better hurry, now those human-led alliances and orc-led tribes have been fighting in Kalimdor, which means that the Black Dragon King may have infiltrated the two forces. β
As she spoke, Azhara showed Kalimdor on land. The war has begun, and we Night Elves are involved, or the Priestesses of the Moon, they have joined the Alliance, and for the identities of these people, although Illidan can't see them, he can still clearly feel who they are, those Night Elves who have been supervising him for 10,000 years.
"Mavi, this idiot, actually involved our race in the war of the scum!"
"Is it that she didn't see the situation clearly, or that something has changed, and if we sit still, maybe we won't be able to wait for that moment. Azhara said, and while it was hard to understand what she was saying, Illidan knew exactly what she was trying to say. "But you're right, the Alliance and the Horde are scum, and so are the elves who helped the Alliance, and if you succeed, maybe you can also give them back your 10,000 years of humiliation. Azhara said this, apparently a little impatient, and Illidan seemed to be aware of something atroverted here, and her true attitude was perhaps a little different from what she had said.
"That last question, I wonder why you don't regret what happened back then, maybe you can change a little. β
"No matter what we do, the mistakes we have made have already happened, and even now, I didn't make a mistake in my choice, the Burning Legion is still strong even if it loses Sargeras and Akmund, and we were in a much more difficult situation 10,000 years ago. Therefore, it is necessary to rely on other forces, and it is pure luck to defeat them in the first attempt with such a false method. β
Eshara's statement made Illidan nod in acquiescence, and indeed they were the same in this understanding.
"And what are you going me to do? Egwene has set up a seal there, and no mortal or demon can pass through it. β
"Since I'm the only one who knows the map of the vault, Egwene thought she could let the creatures of the world of Azeroth in by casting her magic on the front, but she ignored that there were backdoors to these secret passages. Because she had forgotten that the burial ground was my treasure trove, I knew the tunnels there better than anyone else, and even that was dangerous, but I was sure that you would be up to the task, and that Vasqi and his troops would be at your disposal. β
"A Naga army?"
"A Naga army of 30,000 people, they are loyal to you alone. β
"Then what am I going to do when I get the Eye of Sargeras. β
"You'll know how to do it then, I'll just wait for your good news, and I just want you to keep my secrets, I don't want to be disturbed by the world, if the world still needs me. β
Azhara said this, but to her displeasure, Illidan did not appreciate her attitude and instead sarcastically mocked Azhara, much to everyone's surprise, especially Vasqui, who had brought him with her, who obviously did not want to see this scene the last thing she wanted. And this made Aishara completely impatient
"As much as I hate other races, I wish you could stay at the bottom of the ocean forever and quietly. β
"But," Illidan said with his anger in his endurance, and then instantly released a force towards Illidan, Illidan didn't think that Eshara would do it to him at this time, but soon he realized that this power was not meant to kill him, but to be transformed like before, to be transformed like this, Illidan resisted with anger, perhaps it was unavoidable, although he knew that this would give him more power, but he didn't want to be transformed, he didn't want to be controlled. But the will at this moment is not only purely Illidan, there are some other factors interspersed with it, compared to Illidan he is very willing to accept this power, and he is very interested in the message that Eshara said,
Indeed, for the hidden soul, if it weren't for the first time without such a detailed map, he himself would have gained that power and dominated Azeroth and many more worlds, and the Burning Legion would have surrendered at his feet.
When Aishshara realized this will. Shocked, he quickly stopped his actions, yes, originally Azhara wanted him to transform into Naga for his own use, but she saw in Illidan's will a presence similar to the Devourer of Endless Power, for which she was very glad that she stopped in time, otherwise she might have lost her vitality or even more.
"What did you do to me, woman. Illidan looked at his own changes, his legs had faded into the same fish tail as the Naga, and his mouth also had gills, obviously he had become a Naga, and he didn't even need the support of spells to swim freely here, but only if he had strength, now he was knocked to the ground by Aisara, and it was true that only his own Naga state could be spared here.
"If you want to come back at any time, it's a reward for your return, and if you have a better attitude, otherwise I'll kill you, before the Black Dragon kills your brother and Tyrande. β
Azhara was gone, knowing that she had lost her temper or her vitality, leaving only Illidan, who was weakened by the sudden gain of this power, but it was clear that someone would help him... Vasqi took Illidan and took him to his camp.
And it is the weakening of Illidan's will, his other will invisibly affects Illidan's own will even more, yes, although this will can no longer exist in its entirety, and has been suppressed by the cautious Illidan, but the matter of the tomb of Sargeras seems to have revitalized its existence, and in order to realize this wish, that is, to get the map in Azhara's hand and let her go to do this task by herself, he knows what he must change, that is, he knows how he knows how to do it, that is, how to please her, just like how he tried to win the trust of Neozu when he was youngγ That is to seduce Vasqi, who has a good impression of himself, that is, Azara's close attendant, except to help the Naga residents here do what they can, although this can't change their temper, but as long as the residents here see their actions. Gul'dan intended it this way, and the first thing he had to do was to "convince" Illidan to do so.
Through Vaschi's treatment, Illidan woke up, and while thanking Vasqi, he also agreed with her advice to persuade him to obey Azhara, but this was not the case, and Gul'dan knew how to deepen his feelings with Vasqi, because he knew very well what this Naga meant to him, and what she meant to him to achieve his great goals.
Of course, not only that, but in the past few months, he has been trying to improve his image, such as helping Naga soldiers guide training methods, helping residents do what they can, and going to various places to help eliminate the hidden dangers of sea monsters, etc. These deeds have helped him earn honor and image here in Naga.
However, compared to the others, Azhara was different, if she didn't discover the will hidden in Illidan at the beginning, that is, when she turned Illidan into the Naga clan, she was already insightful now. She seemed to understand why the old god Enzos had asked Illidan to complete this task. She knew that Illidan, who was affected by that will, might become an accomplice of the Old Gods at this time, but she had no choice, as she had to do so as the last clause of her trade with the Old Gods 10,000 years ago in order to preserve the continuation of her race. Only in this way did the Old Gods promise to completely let go of their control and influence on their race, and promised not to disturb them in the future, no matter what happened.
Although Azhara knew that while the Old Gods were evil, even more evil than demons, they had a quality that was as good as the most evil of demons, and that was to value promises. But she still wants to assess whether this Illidan's will will be harmful to herself, and who that will is, because she knows that if that will controls Illidan's body, then this Illidan will destroy the entire world instead of the old gods after getting the power of Sargeras, which she doesn't want to see, so all she has to do is observe and see if Illidan can defeat that will, if not, she can only choose to kill that will while he is not yet in the climate, after all, this is not a breach of promise, and it is likely to be punished greaterγ Of course, Aishara is not sitting still, she has chosen another point, that is, to join alone, she hopes that her deputy Vasqi can help Illidan become her true self.
In the next two months, Illidan behaved like this, but this was not the case in his heart, he was very disgusted with this form of himself, what he did, because his heart only thought about destruction and killing, of course, this will was only Guldan's, his main will, that is, Illidan still very much wanted to do this, after all, Illidan was once a guardian of the Eternal Well, and she swore allegiance to Eshara and the people of the local garrison captain, and she also longed for herself to be recognized, so her own strong will was still very good to hide her feelingsγ
However, as things developed, as the date of signing 10,000 years ago approached, Aishara also observed, and when she was at a loss, Aishara suddenly realized something, that is, Illidan's behavior, he is sometimes when his temperament changes, he always holds a skeleton and ponders, and at this moment Aishara realizes what his behavior, as well as the soul will, comes from. She thought of a way to get Illidan back to her old will.
That night, Vaschi transformed into his previous form, a look like a Night Elf, yes, the High Elves and Night Elves of that period were just a race, both violets or heavier skin tones, but it was only after they arrived in the Eastern Continent nine thousand years ago and were affected by the Sunwell. And that look was almost the same as Tyrande's appearance.
Although Naga herself is good at seduction, and her goal, that is, Illidan's sleep, she seems to have a very good chance, but Aishara knows that with Illidan's current strength, she can't succeed at all, but her intention is not to succeed, but to let Illidan's will discover Vaschi's intention.
As she had guessed, Illidan was aware of the purpose of this Naga, although she was very similar to Tyrande at this time, coupled with the long-term emotional loneliness, he may not be able to help it, but Illidan's strong will can still be relatively clear, but it is precisely because Illidan has to use a lot of energy, even his whole body, to stop this will. This also indirectly freed the power that restrained Gul'dan's will completely, and he seemed to feel his will completely awakened again, and he obviously wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to take the initiative. That was the means by which Illidan completely fell to Vasqui, and then he was completely in control of the whole will.
Yes, it may be that Guldan's strength alone is not enough to fight Illidan, but he is still good at doing bad in Illidan's weak points, and he knows how to make a person perish, especially when he does not go against his own will. Eventually, Gul'dan cooperated with Vaschi's magic, and eventually Illidan was unable to control himself under unconscious power. And rushed like a beast towards the seemingly weak Vaski, and Vasqi also looked forward to such a moment, yes, when she first saw this powerful warrior defeat the captain of the Doomsday Guard Esinos, who wanted to be powerful against her, and then appeared in her palace in his Cerberus in his own palace.
But when he learned that the powerful elven warrior already belonged and that the man was a similar-looking Night Elf, her jealousy burned her sanity for the first time, and after Tyrande was captured, she had nothing but jealousy and revenge for the woman, especially in her eyes, that the woman was playing with Illidan's feelings.
And now, after 10,000 years, she finally got her wish, but when he kept calling Tyrande's name, her anger towards Tyrande instantly came to her heart, of course she had to endure it, she knew that if she wanted to realize her charm, she had to pretend to be the woman she hated the most, in order to realize her wish. And it is precisely this resentment of his own that has become more and more distorted in the pathological abuse of himself like a demon by Illidan, and even this distortion is accompanied by his own unstoppable mentality.
The next day, when Illidan became more and more sober after infinite venting, Aishara realized that Vaschi's magic was gradually fading, and it was precisely because of this, Illidan's will was gradually pushed by Guldan, he knew that his opportunity had come, after all, for Illidan, although he had lived for tens of thousands of years, this may be his first time, no matter which man, I am afraid that he will not know how to control it when he encounters such excitement for the first time. And Gul'dan is waiting for this opportunity, of course, he not only wants to control Illidan's soul, but also infiltrates Vasqi to control her more reasonably, although her loyalty to "herself" may not be necessary, but obviously Gul'dan does not trust anyone, only believes in himself, and fortunately, Vasqi seems to be very willing to be controlled by himself. However, after Gul'dan succeeded, a phantage appeared in front of the will of Guldan, who had just become independent. Gul'dan was stunned by this warlock's unique power, a power more twisted than the Burning Legion, and he seemed to have something in mind about it, something evil that had once been recorded by some High Elves.
Who are you?
"I am a more terrible force than the Burning Legion. If I am the god of the ancients, according to mortals."
"But your strength is not very strong, and this is not the strength that should be in the record. β
"If you've actually looked at their records, you'll know that I'm sealed, by those damn Titans. The figure spoke, and then showed its strength, a huge octopus with an unknown number of tentacles, imprisoned in an unknown area, and it was constantly trying to get out of this area. Moreover, what Gul'dan saw in his deep eyes was the terrible power within him, as if he could see the darkest side of his own heart and show himself in front of him, yes, if you look at it by strength alone, Deathwing Root is to him what a raven is to an orc, and even his most terrible Sargeras is no more than that. "I, to get out, I need your help, I will help you to lodge in the body of Sargeras, get rid of this filthy body, and then release us, and destroy the entire mortal system with us, so that they will all submit to our feet. β
"That's good, please tell me how to get the power of Sargeras. Gul'dan said excitedly, although he would definitely not release these guys at that time, but at this time she thought that she should not think about the problems that should not be seen by them, but immediately shifted her thinking to those common aspects: "I really want to destroy the whole world with you, and then lead the Burning Legion to bring one world after another to our feet." β
Gul'dan laughed, but the Elder God quickly changed into a different form, a beautiful and dignified Night Elf form, but this was not, it was Azhara himself, and Illidan, Illidan saw all this, he knew that the soul that lived in his body must have bad intentions, but he didn't expect it. It was too late for Gul'dan to explain this, because he had touched one of Illidan's most intolerable bottom lines.
"You should know that I hate being controlled by others, little things. β
Illidan used his more powerful destructive power to completely destroy Guldan's soul, and at the same time, he also regained his will, and he also completely exploded Guldan's skull, completely turning it into dust. And at this time, Illidan recognized what she was doing, and Vasqi was lying on the ground in front of her, yes, she had already returned to her Naga form at this moment, and the snakes in her hair were already asleep. At this time, he clearly realized how intense his first time was, and what that Gul'dan influenced him to do to Vasqi, of course, he also understood that this gorgons also wanted to do something to you, and she did touch her bottom line, but when Illidan wanted to destroy her, he seemed to recognize something in her sleeping face, such as Tyrande's face and reason told him that Vasqi was indispensable to his own heart and his own value, and the consequence of doing so was to break with Naga, so Illidan didn't make a move, but put her on the bed, and he wanted to go out for a walkγ
Yes, he really should think about his actions when he thought about the blessings he had received in return for the good deeds he had given to the other Naga all these times, but it was then that she noticed a note on her door that said that she would come to the queen tomorrow morning, and Illidan was even more convinced that it was Azhara who had saved herself.
On the other side, the only remaining trace of will reached Vaschi's sleeping will, and at this moment Gul'dan was very glad that he had just cast a spell on this female Naga in order to save his weak will, and just when he was sure that no one was aware of him and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, it was the figure again, which made Gul'dan shocked.
"You have talent, but you lack strength. β
"You, You"
"I am Enzos, the ancient god. I need your help. The figure said this, but although Gul'dan felt his extreme strength, the picture was exactly the same as the one that Aishshara had provided him, which made him tremble, he feared that Aishhara was coming again, and he himself was no match for the Naga queen. But in the next picture, something rekindled his fighting spirit. "Look, this is Sargeras's body, and he has more power than I do. β
"What you tell me to do, I won't use it against you. β
Gul'dan became excited regardless of life or death, yes, what was in front of him was indeed what he had been thinking about for a long time.
"You can do whatever you want with his power, but only if you don't let Illidan control it. β
"Yes, he doesn't deserve my power. I am. So what do I do?"
"He'll cast spells to destroy Icecrown, wreak havoc on Deathwing, take the eye when he's focused, and let him guide you to all of Sargeras's body, and you'll have all the power you control. β
"But why would you help me? β
"Because you're the same as us, the same!
