Tick, tick.

Rain suddenly appeared in the sky over the Arathi Heights, and thunderclaps delayed the morning sun.

The resistance in Fort Riptide had all disappeared, and after three hours of fierce fighting, all the soldiers of Fort Riptide had surrendered.

Locke sat on the stone slab and looked out at the scenery outside the window lattice, as lightning danced on the dark clouds, and a large army of trolls and human legions walked into the ancient castle in turn, which also meant that Riptide Castle had completely fallen into Locke's hands.

Soreness muscles reminded Locke that this was not the end of the day, and he looked at the demonic portal on the throne behind him, which was glowing with a brilliant purple glow with lilac energy.

"It's not over yet, and it's not time to be happy." Locke muttered to himself slowly, he looked at Shadra not far away, and saw that the ghost girl was gently stroking the demon portal, her face solemn as if she was caressing her lover's skin.

Locke was slightly stunned, he had never seen a god show such a look, could it be that there was a story in it?

This strange thought startled Locke himself, and just as he was about to walk to the side of the demonic portal to finish it all, an electronic sound came from his ear, causing him to stop alive.

"Special energy detected...... The system is being upgraded...... The system is being upgraded. ”

Locke was sure that he had never heard this sound since he had obtained the system, and it was at this point that he took out the statue he had just taken from Garin's corpse to take a look.

"Devil's Hand Statue"

Comments: This statue has a strong dark power...... If you notice it, you may mistake it for a warlock.

The detailed information on the retina shocked Locke speechless for a long time, this purple equipment is not very good in all fairness, but the small print that can be upgraded made Locke deeply shocked.

Can you still upgrade your equipment?

Locke's mind couldn't stop thinking about the days when he would get an artifact and then dominate the world as an invincible opponent.

"What are you thinking there?" Shadra's silvery voice interrupted Locke's YY, and she stared at the demon portal in front of her, and said without looking back, "Before you solve this portal, the demon will come to Azeroth." ”

Locke nodded, then walked in front of the demon portal and raised the Destroyer of Worlds in his hand, "Watch me destroy this portal." ”

At this moment, a panicked voice came from the demon portal: "Don't do it, mortal, as long as you promise not to destroy this portal, how about making you the king of Riptide Castle?" ”

"Garin's shitty is no match for you, think about it, if you become king."

The demon's whispers loomed and were very tempting, but Locke remained unmoved, and still slashed down with his sword, sending sparks flying through the demonic portal.

"Are you saying I'm not the actual regent?"

"This demon portal is made of obsidian, and you can't destroy it at all." The Dreadlord's angry voice came from the purple light.

"So what are you afraid of?" Locke was unmoved, swinging the blade in his hand faster, and sparks kept bursting out of the black stones, "Dreadlord, those ugly plans of yours will definitely be stopped. ”

"The Scourge Plague will not break out in Lordaeron, and the Demon Gap of Dalaran will be sealed by my own hands."

Click.

With a loud bang, a crack cracked in the stone of the portal, which was not large, but it affected the purple glow on the portal.

The crevices grew larger and larger, and then rapidly expanded over the black-purple portal.

The demon was silent for a moment, then let out a sneer: "It's funny, nonsense. ”

Locke lowered his voice, "Kel'thugad." ”

Kel'thugad is an archmage who pursues the truth, and he has several identities, including the archmage of Dalaran, the leader of the Cult of the Damned, the most powerful mage under the Lich King, and arguably the trailblazer of the Burning Legion.

"Mortal...... Who told you. The Dreadlord suppressed his voice and raised it from his throat, "Who told you that?" ”

"The Lich King." Locke swung the Destroyer of the Worlds, leaving cracks on the demon portal, and in the white light of the thunder jump, he only saw that this demon portal had lost a large amount of shadow energy, and the purple light on it had slowly become dim.

"Naozu !!"

The demon portal shattered, and the demon's loud roar echoed through the vast Arathi Heights. But the demonic portal was shattered in front of Locke after all.

The demon's roar echoed through Riptide Castle, and the demon's terrifying aura silenced all living beings......

"Lord Locke is inside."

"I've heard about Garin's collusion with demons, Holy Light, it's crazy."

They all looked at Riptide Castle, wanting to see the answer, but it was extremely quiet in Riptide Castle. The banner of the emblem of Tolbain, which symbolized it, flew in the torrential rain.

But it has long been tattered.

However, a strange flagpole slowly rises from Riptide Castle, unlike the flag of Tolbain, which depicts a two-headed dragon.

Bang

A thunderbolt roared in the sky, but it instantly ignited the atmosphere of Riptide Castle, and the forest troll shouted loudly, "King." ”

Immediately afterward, one clever human after another shouted, "King! ”

"King!"

A splendid carriage slowly drove from the torrential rain into Riptide Castle, and the sound of horses' hooves was muffled in the middle of the mountain shouting, and Laurena's heart was startled, and she insisted on entering Riptide Castle despite the dissuasion of the guards around her.

She cautiously jumped out of the carriage, and then saw Locke slowly emerging from Riptide Castle, she took two steps forward, but quickly resumed her noble walk.

In the rain screen.

The frantic rain drenched Laurina's clothes, and she walked in front of Locke, and before she could open her mouth, a reassuring voice came from her ear.

"You're the queen." Locke patted the girl on the shoulder.

"All I need is a quarter of Fort Riptide and a refuge canyon as my fief."

Locke looked up at the thunderous sky, the clock of history had been gently turned by him, and the once-perished kingdom had been successfully rebuilt in his hands.

"Now, it's just getting started."

On the horizon, Locke saw the figure of a blue dragon flying through the clouds.
