Chapter 53: Old Friends
Hearing the word prophet from Marrad's mouth, Rollin had an idea. If they really want to confront the Warlocks of Naozu and the entire Dark Temple, the more power they gain should be as strong as possible.
"We have a request, and as outsiders, we hope to have a meeting with your prophet at a later date." Willix relayed Rollin's meaning.
Marrad knew that these ravens were creatures of Draenor, and he set his sights on the two magisters. After a moment's hesitation, he shook his head and said, "No, the Draenei have felt this pain once. We cannot allow disaster to happen a second time. ”
"But you need help now, and like us Ravens, these expeditionary forces from the world of Azeroth are the only allies we can rely on. The Kalapo Temple has your refugees, and in the same way we are protecting our Raven people. "Willix realizes that these Draenei are also a reliable group of allies. Because we all have a common enemy.
Marrad exchanged words with the Draenei soldiers behind him, and he said, "I have an idea, you come with me to the city of Shattrath in Talado and wait for us. I will ask the Prophet and then I will give you an answer. ”
"Yes, but it's going to be fast." Willix emphasized.
"Of course." Malad put away the Hammer of Light and motioned for everyone to prepare to leave.
However, when Malad led his soldiers to the front, they found the two Magisters and Raven people standing in place. He looked at them puzzled. Until there was a smell of spells in the air.
Rollin took control of the Scepter of Sargeras and activated the teleportation circle.
"Through this circle, we will be faster." High Sage Velix beckoned his claws to Marrad.
After a moment of contemplation, no other Draeni soldiers from Marrad entered the circle. He told the soldiers to return the way they came, and he followed the two magisters and the Raven into the teleportation circle.
Is this arcane energy? Malrad could sense the arcane aura. When he used to study in Shattrath's library, he had flipped through books on arcane energy.
These books are books written by Delaney's predecessors. The seniors who once lived on their own planet, they were proficient in the use of this magical energy.
The arcane energy grew stronger and stronger, and Rollin twisted the Scepter of Sargeras, and the dazzling light flashed in an instant. To her astonishment, Marad found herself in a dark and deep passage.
The sensation came for a second, when Malad opened his eyes. He was already in the ruins of the city of Shattrath.
Seeing the city of Shattrath once again, filled with evil and death, Marad did not linger, relying on the dazzling light at his disposal. After a dazzling light, Malad vanished in front of the Magus and Raven.
Khadgar was skeptical, saying, "I always felt something strange about this creature that wielded the power of the Light. He seems to be suspicious of us all the time. ”
The high-ranking Raven Willix nodded, and he continued Khadgar's words, "I feel it too. Although there was no obvious hostility towards them, I could tell from the tone of his arms that he was very distrustful of us. ”
Rollin waved his hand and said, "Every race has its own unspeakable secrets. Besides, we are still outsiders. We are still here to wait for him, as promised, and I trust that the creatures who wield the power of the Light will not choose to deceive us in such a shoddy way. ”
After a brief conversation, Rollin turned his gaze to the city in front of him, which had been blown up by evil powers.
From the mouth of Malad, it is known that this city is called the City of Shatrath. Rollin knew what the City of Shattrath was, the central city of the Draenei in the world of Draenor.
But now when he looked at this city, Rollin suddenly realized that this city was not as beautiful as he had imagined it to be.
The city is no longer as holy as it once was, and it is full of shadows and the smell of death. Around the piled up of rubble, the wails of souls can be heard.
Willix shook his head, but said regretfully, "Once when I was young, I realized that there was a hidden city here. The Draenei people who live here used to use a special energy here to feed this place as a home barrier. For this reason, this beautiful and holy city has existed for thousands of years. It wasn't until these Orcs of Draenor began to betray their original teachings and began to learn about these rotten, evil powers. The city fell inexplicably. ”
Khadgar seemed to understand why the Draenei was hostile to them. Under such a catastrophe that destroys their homeland, it is true that they should be more careful to protect their compatriots who are now surviving.
Soon after, Marad emerged from the jungle to the west. He apologized and said, "I'm sorry, two archmages and the Raven Sage, I was just doubting you. Now, Prophet, you have entered into our realm. ”
Khadgar looked in Marrad's direction, raised an eyebrow and said, "It seems that these Draenei still have a good vision. ”
Following Malrad, the Magus and Raven made their way through the dense jungle. The jungle here is fairly well preserved, and they have not been corrupted by evil powers and the spells of orc warlocks. After rounding a mountain and a narrow canyon, Rollin and his team entered a secluded place. There are some rudimentary palaces built here.
However, judging from the appearance of these palaces, you can vaguely see that they have the shadow of Shattrath architecture.
After Rollin and his party entered the Draenei's territory, the surrounding Draenei people watched them vigilantly. They don't show their innate hospitability, on the contrary, they are disgusted by the new creatures entering their secret territory.
"Don't worry, these two outsiders and the Raven were allowed to enter our territory by the Prophet. They are not as threatening as they think. ”
While reassuring the Draenei populace, a tall Draenei apprentice approached and confronted Marrad, "Marlad, are you also going to be Captain Restaran and bring the threat to our new shelter?" ”
"Iriel, things aren't as bad as you think, these outsiders are our friends, and they're not like the orcs." Marlad explained.
Irel snorted coldly, and she took a few steps to stand in front of Rollin.
As for why he didn't stand in front of Khadgar and Willix, the reason may be because Rollin is relatively handsome.
The language barrier was incomprehensible, but Irel still stared into Rollin's eyes with burning eyes. Rollin was interested in this familiar female Draenei. The female Delaney was bold, and Rollin could sense her curiosity.
Although he couldn't express the meaning of his words, Rollin smiled peacefully. He looked at the young female draenei silently, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
At first, there were still eyes without any emotional color. But upon seeing Rollin's warm smile, Irel shrugged his shoulders and turned to leave.
Marrad smiled awkwardly and said, "Irel has been like this since she was a child, I hope you don't blame her." ”
Willix translated the original words to the two magisters. Khadgar looked at Iriel's back with a nonchalant expression. Rollin was different from Khadgar, he recalled the familiar name and smiled slightly.
It turns out that this brave little girl's name is Iriel, and if you have the chance, you can get to know the heroes of this other timeline.
After this episode, Marlad led Rollin and his party into a makeshift palace in the Draenei.
In this palace, Rollin felt the warmth and relaxation that he had not felt for a long time. As in the moment of conversation with Archbishop Alonthos in the Cathedral of Light in Stormwind, Rollin let go of all distractions in his mind. Quietly enjoy the tranquility that this place brings him.
Kad took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and entered the same state as Rollin.
Willix didn't look around the area like the two archmagers. For the Raven Man, the Holy Light is just a form of energy, and there is nothing special about it.
After pondering for a moment, Rollin felt a pious sage appear in front of him, without any sense of oppression. He stood in front of Rollin, looking at Rollin slightly.
Rollin, who opened his eyes, saw the prophet. He immediately thought of a name: Velon.
The prophet Velun did not speak to Luo Lin immediately, he took the initiative to stretch out his right hand and engraved two marks on the foreheads of the magisters.
"Welcome, friends from another world." The draenei leader, dressed in gold and red, spoke.
Suddenly able to understand the Draenei's language, Rollin and Khadgar looked at each other as they stroked the mark on their foreheads.
Rollin reacted fairly quickly, saying, "I'm glad the Prophet has brought us to your territory. ”
"I am Veron, the leader of the remaining Draenei. Incompetent leaders. Veron's kind and kind face had a faint dark color of grievance.
"I've heard what happened to you, but Prophet Veron, this time we want to ask you to join us in the fight against Naozu. Gul'dan has failed in our world, and this time, our expeditionary force in Azeroth wants to eradicate the little threat that the orcs have left. Rollin took the initiative to seek dialogue.
Verun bowed slightly, and he said, "These orc warlocks corrupted by evil energy are our common enemies. I see what you mean, our last remaining Draenei, will come to your aid. ”
"Listen to the garrison Marlad say that a Naru is imprisoned in the temple of Karabo. Prophet, do you know what they want to do? Rollin wanted to solve his current confusion with Veron, he asked.
Velen said with a solemn face: "The imprisoned Naru's famous Kara is our Draenei companion and the god of our faith. In fact, according to the power of the Holy Light contained in Kara, it is very rare for orc warlocks to control Kara, which has powerful energy. But this kind Naru, who willingly took on the power of the orcs in order to protect our refugees, fell into the grip of these warlocks. ”
"Huge energy?" Rollin captures the key words in the words of the prophets.
"Yes, each Naru is a collection of energy, and the energy they carry is so powerful. If they have the same knowledge, it is vast and boundless. ”
It's no wonder that Naozu has the courage to stay in the temple of Karabo, it turns out that he has found a way to perform the ritual. Relying on Naru's powerful energy as preparation for the start of the ritual, with the once-in-a-millennial astronomical spectacle of Draenor, Neozu will be able to accomplish his plans more easily.
"Naozu wants to use Naru's energy to perform the ceremony. We have to stop them. Rollin said solemnly.
Veren seemed to have known all this for a long time, and he shook his head and said, "The temple of Carabo used to be the temple of our Draenei. Where there is a solid barrier, with our current strength, we cannot lift it. ”
Willix, who had been silent, finally spoke, and he said proudly, "Prophet, you don't have to worry. The defense of this barrier is left to us Raven people, and you only need to think about attacking the Kalapo Temple and stopping the orc ritual. ”
The way of the Raven Man? Although Veron was surprised that these Azeroth races could unite these Raven tribes, he did not know how the Raven could break through the barrier defenses of the Karabo Temple.
"Can you?" Velun wondered.
Willix said confidently, "Using the Episis artifact, the Rainbow of the Sun above our Heavenly Peak will effortlessly penetrate the outer barrier of Karabo. Trust in the power of our Raven people, and the sun god will not deceive you. ”
After receiving this information, Veron breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I'm glad that we were able to join forces against the orcs. However, I have something to say to you, Your Excellency. ”
Khadgar pouted, and he and Willix walked out of the room, leaving Rollin and Velen in the humble palace.
"I knew you'd end up here." Velun said in a deep voice.
Rollin frowned, and he said, "Why do you say that?" ”
"The world of Draenor is not only home to these orc warlocks, but also a large number of demons in the power of the shadows. They are active in this land, trying to control the world with the help of orcs. But, from what I know about them, I know that their destination is not here, but Azeroth. I have fought the demons of the Void several times, and I learned of your existence from my old friends. But you seem to have caused him a lot of trouble. Wei Lun looked appreciatively and said.
"Who is this old friend of yours?"
"Kilgadan, at the time of Argus, we were still brothers. But now, we have become outright enemies. He reneged on our faith and brought disaster to countless worlds. Wei Lun said with a sadness in his resentment. (To be continued.) )
