Chapter 48: Fort Glory

"I can't yet draw conclusions about the specific purpose. However, the Death Knights sent by Neozu in Azeroth did not get what Neozu wanted. So, if Naozu really wanted to continue with his plan, then he needed to find another way. Rollin said as he looked in the direction of the Dark Door.

Khadgar knew that Lorin had helped Dalaran reclaim the Eye of Dalaran from the Black Dragon Lord, and he nodded and said, "If that's the case, then what kind of way will Naozu find to carry out his plan?" ”

Shaking his head, Rollin didn't answer, he chose to be silent.

Two months later.

It's not an easy task to be in the red land of the Hellfire Peninsula of Draenor. Especially for the Magister, such days are even more difficult.

On top of the towering spire of Fort Glory, Rollin had been standing here for twelve hours. He had stood here since nightfall, until dawn tomorrow.

In the first few days, Aurelia felt sorry for Rollin. She was here to stay with him all the time. But Rollin knew that Aurelia had her own mission, and that she had to find water and food for the soldiers of the entire expeditionary force, and that the task was no less onerous than her own. So in recent days, on the mage tower on the north side of Glory Castle, there are only two people, Rollin and Khadgar.

"We've been here for half a month, what is the difference between the skies of Draenor and our world in Azeroth. My eyes have been hurting for the past few days, and if I continue like this, I don't see that the two of us will die at the hands of the orcs, but under the stars. Khadgar sat on a rough wooden bench and grumbled. He picked up a piece of dry bread and chewed it vigorously.

At dawn time, the scorching sun of Draenor appeared in the sky. The light of the stars dimmed. He rubbed his eyes and walked from the high platform to the house of the minaret.

"It's been a few days since the bread is over, and the air here is dry, can you still eat it?" Rollin said, sitting across from Khadgar.

Khadgar pouted, it was funny for his old appearance to make such a gesture. "Give." Khadgar handed the bread to Rollin.

Without refusing, Rollin took the bread and the two ate it on the wooden table.

During the mealtime, Khadgar and Rollin were not idle, they spread the Book of Medivan on the table, and the two of them used special magical energy to make the Book of Medivan reveal all the knowledge it contained.

"The galaxy of Draenor has a power that the Azeroth system does not have. Few mages can harness arcane energy through the stars. Khadgar took a sip and asked.

Rollin knows no more about this than Khadgar. "I can't rule it out, but that's not what we need to think about right now."

"Yes, I know. Draenor's galaxy has something to do with Naozu's spellcasting ritual, I know that. They built the Hellfire Fortress in the distance because of this. Khadgar said with some annoyance.

Khadgar was in a bad mood, Rollin understood. After all, at the top of this mage tower where there was no other sound, it was not a fun thing to study the starry sky of Draenor all the time. Even though the spirit of curiosity is supporting them, they still have no clue after half a month, and it is normal for Khadgar to have some negative emotions.

"The Hellfire Fortress has been under construction for a month, and in that month's time, their soldiers have attacked our Glory Fort only a handful of times. This confirms our previous perception that their purpose is not actually ours. Rollin said to Khadgar as he flipped through the Book of Medivan.

"However, the spells and energies at the disposal of Nao Zu and his Warlocks of the Shadow Moon Clan are completely different from those of the two of us. We don't know what they're trying to do, and the Book of Medivan gives us a hint that there is a special astronomical phenomenon in the starry sky of Draenor that will provide additional energy to the world, but yet, we still haven't found out what this astronomical phenomenon is. We don't even know if Naozu has now found a way to carry out his plan. You know, Tulayan and the entire expeditionary force believed in us, you understand what that means. Khadgar shook his head, and he refocused his gaze on the Book of Medivan.

Rollin has had a lot of difficulties. He's also been in a lot of trouble. Every time he encountered difficulties, Rollin told himself that he had to be calm and that he could solve it. However, this time it was different, and it was not him behind him. What he needs to take on now is the expectation of the entire expeditionary force. He tried to calm himself down, but every time he felt like it was an ordeal. Maybe standing on top of the minaret platform outside would calm him down, or at least he knew he was doing this now.

Seeing Rollin's depressed spirit, Khadgar knew that he had just said too much. They are all together these days and know each other well. Khadgar knew Rollin's pressure, and Rollin knew Khadgar's confusion.

"I'm sorry, Rollin. The two of us are a group. I shouldn't have said that just now. Khadgar supported his chin with his right hand, and he closed his eyes and said in a low voice.

Khadgar's words were correct, and Rollin waved his hand and said, "You're right, we're a group now. We're in trouble, it's still a big problem, so we're going to have to hurry up and fix it. ”

"Bring me the nebula map that we have drawn these days, and we'll re-examine it." Rollin said.

Khadgar, who had finished his bread first, nodded, walked to the bookshelf next to him, and removed dozens of white papers. On the paper, there are nebulae drawn in pencil.

Laying the dozen nebula maps flat on the ground, Rollin and Khadgar were like two children, crawling on these magic papers, carefully looking for the differences between these nebula maps.

I don't know how many hours later, Khadgar suddenly shouted, and he excitedly said to Rollin: "Quick, Rollin, I have found the difference!" ”

The usual sadness dissipated from Khadgar's face, and he used the red pencil in his hand to carefully mark the differences on the drawings.

Rollin was also glad to be able to find the difference. After so many days, there is finally progress.

Walking up to Khadgar's side, Rollin half-crouched down, he looked at the three magic seals that Khadgar had found, and listened carefully to Khadgar's narration.

"Look, these three galaxies on the entire nebula map. Yes, that's what I marked with a red pencil. Khadgar scribbled hard with a red pencil to deepen the color.

Luo Lin compared the three drawings, and sure enough, the positions of the three smiling galaxies buried in the nebula map really changed.

"It's a small difference, but none of the other galaxies can move, only these three galaxies can. That proves that these three galaxies are the main players in this astronomical phenomenon. Rollin nodded.

Not only did he discover the differences between the three galaxies, but Khadgar also calculated during this period of time when the astronomical phenomenon would occur.

"I know what you're going to ask next, I've just calculated, this time the astronomical phenomenon will appear in three months' time. That is, there are still ninety days before Naozu will perform his rituals. Of course, I'm talking about the premise that if this orc finds a new way, the giant ritual. ”

"Tell Tulayan the news as soon as possible, and we're ready to get started." Rollin said.

Putting away the drawings on the floor in their entirety, Khadgar said, "Leave this matter to me, you have drawn a lot of nebulae in the past few days, and you need to take a good rest." ”

Nodding, Rollin walked to his room. Lying on the bed peacefully, the relieved Rollin fell asleep.

The Chamber of Glory.

"I'm glad you brought this crucial news to Khadgar, otherwise we really don't know how to implement the next step." Tulayan said.

That sounds like a compliment to Khadgar. But this is not the case, since the expeditionary force established Fort Glory, they have been defending against orc invasions from the Hellfire Fortress. There are almost no active sorties, because they do not know what they are going to do and how to do it.

Tulayan is a shrewd leader who knows that there is no point in simply fighting orcs, he needs a purpose and a meaningful goal.

"There's three months left, which sounds like a short time." Kudran stroked Scarley's head and said nervously.

"That's right, we need to react as soon as possible." Khadgar answered.

"But, Khadgar, you'll have to tell us where we're going to find Neozu and how we can stop his ritual. Don't tell me, he'll tell us when he performs the ritual, I don't believe they're going to do this weird ritual right under our noses. Danas Tolbairn said.

Again, this is a critical question. Khadgar was asked again. Because he doesn't know what happened next.

"Alright, General Danas, I need you to give me a little time." Khadgar, who had just relaxed, was nervous again. He's got a big head now, and it looks like he doesn't want to get a good night's sleep tonight.

Tulayan could see Khadgar's exhaustion and said, "Don't worry Khadgar, you and Rollin are busy and stressful, and we understand you." There's always a way, so I guess you shouldn't get too tired. ”

Even if Tulayan said so, Khadgar knew that Tulayan and himself, plus Rollin. None of them could live up to the expectations of the expeditionary force, and the pressure on the two of them was great, as was the pressure on Tulayan.

"Alright, I see, I'll go back to the Mage Tower now." With that, Khadgar walked out of the chamber.

As soon as he descended the stairs, Khadgar turned around the corner and saw Aurelia. Aurelia jumped off her horse and greeted Khadgar.

"It's rare to see you coming out of the Mage Tower, what's the matter, the research has progressed?"

Khadgar nodded and said, "There is progress, but the problem has not been resolved. ”

Aurelia nodded, he looked at the sad Khadgar and said, "I can see it, otherwise you wouldn't have a gloomy face." ”

"Hey, don't mention it. Why, don't you go and see Rollin, he's more tired than me. Khadgar suggested.

"Of course!" , Aurelia said.

Return to the Mage's Tower. Khadgar walked back to his room. Whatever the next question, he had to sleep, or he would die in this mage tower.

Aurelia walked straight to Rollin's room, and she carefully opened and closed the door to Rollin's bedside. Before he could sit down, Rollin spoke: "How is it, have you found a new water source in the past few days?" ”

Knowing that Rollin hadn't slept yet, Aurelia sat down on the side of Rollin's bed, clasped his hand and said, "Found it, you know, this was once a jungle, and although everything on the ground was contaminated by the magic of the warlock, the groundwater was still well preserved. The water level was high, so we looked for it quickly. ”

Turning around, Rollin was half-seated on the bed. He stroked Aurelia's cheek and said, "I regret it now, I shouldn't have brought you here." ”

"What stupid things to say, this is my own volition, besides, you said it, you respect my opinion." Aurelia blamed Rollin for it.

With a wry smile, Rollin: "When I was planning to pass through the Dark Gate, I thought that Khadgar and I and our expeditionary force could solve a lot of things. While I can't guarantee that we will be able to resolve these problems easily, at least we won't get into trouble. However, three months later, we were still in a difficult situation, and I couldn't find where to go, which made me wonder. ”

"Don't stress too much, things will work out. When I came, Khadgar told me, and he said, "You have made new progress." Aurelia said, standing up and kneading Rollin's shoulder.

"Progress? It's just a new trouble, and we're in a predicament right now. ”

Aurelia paused for a moment, then said, "No wonder Khadgar looked sad when he came back, but he didn't bother me specifically. ”

Now it's okay, Khadgar doesn't want to get a good night's sleep. Rollin said to Aurelia: "We have found the result of our research, which is the movement of this astronomical phenomenon. ”

"That's a good thing, why are you still so sad. It's been so long, and I can't sleep. Aurelia said.

"That's right, but we've calculated that this astronomical phenomenon, the time of Naozu's ritual, is three months later."

Now Aurelia completely understood why Rollin and Khadgar were still so tired. Three months is quite urgent. The expeditionary force had been here for three months, but in those three months they had only built a castle. Everything else, it's a few small conflicts.

"Don't be too nervous, there will be progress." Aurelia hugged Rollin from behind and comforted him.
