Chapter 350: Crystals and Legends
What Kalia said before she left made Kael'thas vaguely uneasy.
He guessed that the orcs led by Thrall were in action, so he immediately sent someone to investigate the matter.
The conclusion and speculation are exactly the same.
But Kael'thas didn't know how much disaster the orcs would bring to the continent.
Fearing that the orcs' actions would be more radical than they had been, he deliberately squeezed out time to leave Karazan.
Since the orc asylum is in the north, Kael'thas plans to make his way back to Dalaran and make an appearance in the magical kingdom - and get some information from the human mages by the way.
He didn't hide his tracks.
Curiously, Kael'thas soon met Kalia and her knights when he arrived in the wetlands.
"Why didn't you go back?"
Kael'thas remembers that it's been a few days since Kalia was busy with government, so why is she still here?
"The teacher told me to wait here, he seemed to have something to tell me."
Kalia rode on her warhorse, her face a little happy because of this encounter:
"Bellukel and Alsace have already gone back to Alterac first, which is just enough to train that kid."
She explained Kael'thas with the two people who left:
"The two of them can manage Alterac for a few days temporarily, and there shouldn't be any problems."
Kalia had long wanted Arthas to give Arthas a workout.
Kael'thas let go of most of his doubts.
"Where's Teresa? She also left? ”
He didn't find any trace of the elves responsible for protecting Teresa, and it was clear that the girl was no longer here.
Kalia then explains the reason to Kael'thas - Teresa is in a hurry to visit her family in Alterac, and Kalia lets her go with her.
But having said all that, neither of them could guess why Mograini wanted to keep Kalia.
We had lunch together.
In the afternoon, just as Kael'thas said goodbye to Kalia, the human princess was notified by her teacher.
"I've changed my address, and now I'm going to the hotel in Nanhai Town."
She told Kael'thas this way.
The two of them have another time to move forward together.
But while on the way, Kael'thas suddenly noticed two key words: 'Southsea Town' and 'Mograine'.
Anyone who knows a little bit about the story won't miss the connection between these two keywords, as it was in Southsea that Mograine first came up with the idea of creating a weapon when he first came up with the Shadow Crystal.
This is the prelude to the birth of the artifact 'Ember Bringer'!
[Could it be that Mograine is now for the Shadow Crystal?] 】
Kael'thas thought in shock, and then had a new plan.
"Kalia, I'll go with you to meet Master Mograini."
He turned his head and raised the topic with a natural expression:
"I haven't seen him in a long time."
At this moment, the two of them stood together on the deck of the ship heading to Nanhai Town, and the sea breeze blew the cloak to pieces.
Kalia's heart beat lightly in the wind.
"Absolutely."
She didn't mind agreeing to Kael'thas's words.
Mograine had mentioned the elven prince several times, and Kalia thought it would be better to let them meet him.
The voyage was short, and the ship soon docked at the harbor of Nanhai Town.
Kael'thas and Kalia got off the boat and walked directly to the target's hotel.
A middle-aged human paladin stood in the doorway.
"It's Tirio. Lord Fordin. ”
Kalia said with joy on her face.
Tirio. Fordin was also a hero of the Second Orc War, and was one of the first paladins of the Silver Hand along with Uther.
Although Kael'thas didn't have much contact with this man during the war, if it was his turn to be familiar, Tirio was the one he was most familiar with.
This man has a touching quest line called 'Love and Family', and he is also the final master of the Ember Bringer.
The first time the game was opened was after the Scourge of the Dead, and in that historical line, the Silver Hand now has several bosses dead, blackened blackened, brain-dead brain-dead... But the brilliance of this 'Lafayette' has been rising.
"Long time no see."
Kael'thas greeted Tirio with a smile.
"Your Highness Kael'thas, it's been a long time since I saw you, and I didn't expect you to come."
Tirio smiled back, his eyes bright and bright, the power of the Light flowing through.
This is a paladin with the same noble spirit as Kalia.
"Your Highness Princess, let these knights wait outside."
Tirio saluted Kalia and said to her:
"Mograini doesn't seem to want too many people in."
He and Mograine were colleagues - now loyal lords of Lordaeron.
Kalia nodded and ordered, and Kael'thas waited for a few minutes before walking with her into the hotel.
The hotel was quiet, and when I went in, I found that there were few people.
"Your Highness Kael'thas is here too?"
Mograini looked at Kael'thas in surprise.
"Hungry... Am I going to bother you? ”
Kael'thas glanced at the box in Mograine's hand and said apologetically:
"In that case, I'd better go outside and wait for a while."
There was a terrifying dark power emanating from the inside of the chest, and Kael'thas had already determined the answer in his heart, so he could naturally leave.
But Mograini shook his head.
"No, no... You're okay here. ”
He let Kael'thas stay.
In addition to them, there were three other people in the inn, one of them was a paladin in armor, a priest, and one was a mage.
If Kael'thas was not mistaken, the Paladin and the Priest would have been the Grand General Abidis and the Grand Inquisitor Ethanlyon, respectively, who would have founded the famous Scarlet Crusade with Mograine.
As for the mage, Kael'thas wasn't impressed.
He remembered that there were a few more people in this meeting, but according to the current situation, it seemed that it was difficult to be the same as in the previous life.
"Listen, everyone."
Mograini spoke slowly after making sure there was no one else in the hotel:
"I guess everyone already knows about the recent events."
Everyone except Kael'thas nodded in confusion.
"Lately the orcs have been on the move again."
Tirio explained to Kael'thas on the side.
[It turned out to be this thing. 】
Kael'thas breathed a sigh of relief, he almost thought the undead had come out.
"Yes, the orcs are on the move again."
Mograine nodded, then said solemnly:
"Even though they don't feel the same way this time, I've heard that it's the orc chief named Orgrim who leads them."
"Same leader, I don't think these orcs can make much of a difference."
He frowned, then glanced at his chest:
"Now that Tulayan and his holy sword are not in this world, we will be in great trouble facing Orgrim."
There was silence in the hotel.
Anyone can feel that there is something wrong with this sentence, there are many strong people in this world, and the threat of Orgrim with a tattered race is actually not too big.
What exactly is Mograini trying to say?
The others waited quietly for the paladin's main question.
"So we need a new weapon, one that not only the orcs, but even the undead made by the warlocks are afraid of."
Mograini said, then opened the box.
Crystals that exuded the power of extreme darkness were suspended in the air.
The others gasped.
"You must be crazy, Mograine!"
"This is the crystallization of the dark forces, and it must be destroyed!"
A few people cursed - they couldn't believe what Mograini was doing.
"Abydis, I'm sure I'm not crazy."
"I can feel that this thing will give us terrifyingly powerful power of holy light!"
Mograine began to make his point to the others—that the Light and the Shadow were opposites.
He believed that when darkness reached its extreme, it would be the Holy Light.
But this theory has never been affirmed before, and it is nonsense in the eyes of others.
The Grand General Abidis first attacked the Crystal with Holy Light, intending to destroy it.
However, as soon as the light came into contact with the Dark Crystal, it vanished without a sound.
"It absorbs the Light."
The faces of the remaining people turned grim.
"I don't think we can let it go any further."
Eislion proposed that all men attack.
“…”
Kalia looked at Kael'thas with an inquiring look.
Kael'thas, who knew the outcome, of course, agreed to the action.
In Mograini's nervous retention, several people gathered several powerful forces to hit the crystal, and then the color of the crystal began to change.
"It's getting a little brighter? The color has changed... It's changing! ”
The dark crystal bloomed little by little, and then suddenly bloomed with dazzling light!
A moment later, a crystal emitted a strong holy light floated in the air.
Everyone was dumbfounded—and so was Kael'thas.
But the reason Kael'thas was speechless was not because of the change in the crystal, which he had known for a long time.
He is speechless, the Ember Messenger is destined to have nothing to do with him...
Just now, everyone gathered their strength to launch an attack on the crystal, and Kael'thas sensitively sensed that the crystal had only absorbed a little bit of his power, it didn't love flames, but the power of the holy light was completely absorbed.
This is destined to be a weapon of holy light, the most suitable weapon for paladins, not for him.
Kael'thas has some regrets...
But at this moment, the ghost of Kalia beside him reached out and touched the crystal.
The moment her hand touched the crystal, a powerful light enveloped her body like a flame, roaring and burning violently.
The powerful force that erupted in that moment made Kael'thas take a step back.
"Legendary..."
Kael'tham's eyes widened, and he saw with his own eyes the moment when a paladin advanced to a legend.
The silver princess, who was wrapped in the flames of holy light, could no longer escape her fate chosen by the crystal.
