Chapter 6: The Prophet Britchard
"Young mage, how much do you know about this cult?" Antonidas was the first to ask.
"A lot," Jiang Weihan replied, "but there are a lot of things involved, and this is not a good place to explain." All I can say is that this organization is a thousand times more destructive than you might think - they absolutely have the power to subvert the entire human kingdom, and they are putting it into action. β
A few of the scheming men understood what he meantβnothing more than to exchange this information for a pardon for Tirio Fordin. However, in their view, "subverting the human kingdom" is just an alarmist exaggeration.
The young prince did not fully recognize this attempt, but said eagerly: "Then let's quickly say it in another place!" I don't want my people to continue to be poisoned. β
The old fox sighed in his heart, Alsace was really not a good person to negotiate, but he could only go down the steps.
Uther then asked Tirio, "If the Alliance is invaded by any orcs, including the one named Itreig, and all the other enemies, will you still be able to fight for her wholeheartedly and destroy all the enemies?" β
Tirio perked up as he realized that his situation had taken a turn for the better: "I swear, I can!" β
"Are you willing to purge the Alliance of her enemies?"
"Yes, I do!"
Uther was silent for a moment, then announced, "Paladin Lord Fortin, in view of your loyalty to the Alliance and your meritorious deeds, the court has decided to give you the opportunity to make meritorious contributions. You will be relieved of your position and title in the Order of the Silver Hand, and you will continue to serve as a regular paladin; You will be removed from your position as Lord of the Hearthvale and replaced by your former deputy, Batheras. May you recognize your mistakes, and may the Light continue to bless you. β
After Uther's verdict was over, Tirio finally realized that he really didn't have to face the previous desperate situation, and he cried tears of joy as he looked at the figure in the mage's robe in front of him, showing endless gratitude: he had never seen this man, and he had saved him in a desperate situation!
The Holy Light is above, and at this moment he has only gratitude in his heart.
His deputy, Arden, hid his face and wept with excitement, and his friend Dasohan smiled with relief.
However, most of the people in the audience did not fully understand the verdict, it was not a complete misjudgment, but it also did not meet all expectations. However, considering the past exploits of the former Paladin Lord Ferdin, they thought that such a sentence was indeed justified - at least most people thought that the previous sentence was too heavy.
β¦β¦
"So, let's talk about this cult." After Uther had dismissed some unrelated people, there were also Dassaulthan, Ronin, and Gianna sitting in the reception room. His eyes stared majestically at the mysterious young man who had suddenly appeared.
Jiang Weihan is used to the other party's posture, and he doesn't feel as uncomfortable as before. He picked up the crystal and cast a small spell to make the image in the crystal appear in front of everyone like a holographic projection. Then the scene freezes to the necromancer assembling the stitching monster, pointing at him and saying, "This person is the leader of this cult called the Cursed Sect." And his name, in fact, is not unfamiliar to everyone, but he has changed his image with spells. β
He looked at Antonidas, who seemed to realize something, "He's Kel'thugad." β
Kel'thugad.
Hearing the name, the three mages from Dalaran were horrified - this man had been a member of the high-ranking Council of Kenrito Six, one of the rulers of Dalaran, a gifted and powerful ** teacher, and had served as Antonidas's deputy. Four years ago, however, he was harshly prosecuted by Kenrito for his work on the evil necromancy, who ordered him to never touch such a realm again.
After the incident, this ** master sold all his family property and disappeared from Kenrito's field of vision.
Unexpectedly, when he heard the name of Kel'thugad again, he had already become the leader of an evil sect!
After his studies of necromancy were suspended by Kenrito, he embarked on a darker path. In the north, on the continent of Northrend, the will of a powerful Lich King travels thousands of kilometers to guide him to the tundra, imparting him even more powerful dark magic and granting him eternal life. The price was his loyalty and obedience. β
With that said, he could pause and give everyone a moment to think.
"Will spans thousands of kilometers? Is there such a powerful person? Admiral Dalin looked incredulous. Because he was very sure that none of the people present here, Antonidas, the most powerful mage in the human realm, could have such power.
"I didn't say he's human," Jiang Weihan spat out a few words softly, "He's a demigod." β
The crowd fell silent.
"His name is Neozu, the Lich King." Jiang Weihan brought Nao Zu's information one sentence by sentence, because there are too many histories involved behind it, and it will be impossible to say it for a while. Saying things that these big guys can't confirm will only make them think he's pompous. He continued to turn the subject back to Kel'thugad, "After Kel'thugad sneaked back to Lordaeron, he used his previous fortune to gather a large number of ruffians/rogues, mentally ill, dissatisfied commoners, those who turned their backs on the Light, and nobles who were dissatisfied with King Terenus's rule, and founded the Cult of the Damned. They have been working on something terrible, from the evil spells that the Lich King taught them, to diseases and plagues. The latter in particular, as far as I know, the Lich King has given Kel'thugad an artifact called the 'Cauldron of Pestilence', which spreads a plague that causes contacts to die in a short period of time and resurrect them into zombies that the Lich does what they say. They are planning to upend the entire civilized world with this plague, and as for their time for action, I think it is approaching. β
"The plague kills humans and resurrects them?" The news was so sensational that it was hard for everyone to accept.
"Yes, you can imagine when these unstoppable plagues killed a large number of civilians and polluted the earth. The army was vulnerable to these boundless armies of the dead - and the dead soldiers would soon get back on their feet, pointing their swords at their former brothers and comrades. Any loss of humanity is building up their strength. Once this happens, how can we stop their evil plans? β
Jiang Weihan's voice was not high, but it made the people present sweat like rain. Looking at the distorted skeletons and living corpses in the picture, they realized that this might not be an exaggeration. Everyone no longer dared to imagine what kind of outcome would be caused if such a thing happened unprepared.
The young mage, no, the summoner's previous statement in court/"They absolutely possess the power to subvert the entire human kingdom" is not just alarmist exaggeration.
Arthas stood up and said loudly: "We must not tolerate such an evil sect in the land of the Alliance. We should immediately organize a large army to exterminate this cult once and for all! β
Uther looked at the young summoner who had told them, "So, Jiang, where is their lair?" β
All eyes were on them.
Jiang Weihan's goal has been achieved, and he didn't hide it, and said directly: "In the original territory of the Barov family, the underground of Keldaron Castle. Now it's called the Psychic Academy, and it's a hotbed of evil for the Cursed Sect to train believers. β
Everyone was very happy to think of this familiar name, and Da Sohan said angrily: "This group of traitors to Barov really deserved to be sentenced to death in the first place!" β
In fact, the Barov family who took refuge in Kel'thugad is indeed dead, and is now an undead creature in the psychic academy.
Jiang Weihan reminded: "There are a large number of teleportation arrays in this dungeon, and the lich Kel'thugad himself is a ** master who is proficient in teleportation. I hope you realize that once it escapes, it will be useless for us to destroy the entire psychic academy. β
But then he thought, what if he killed Kel'thugad? The Scourge is rooted in the Lich King. As long as it doesn't destroy Miè Naozu, it will naturally find a new replacement, and the next operation will be more covert.
I only hope that the leaders of these alliances will realize this and perhaps avoid the catastrophe of Azeroth.
Several alliance leaders began to discuss their actions against the Cursed Sect, and only Jiang Weihan, Luo Ning, and Gianna were left in the original room. Prince Arthas also wanted to stay and catch up with Gianna, but after some consideration, he felt that Lordaeron's safety was more important than his children's personal affairs. And his previous breakup with Gianna also made the two of them feel a little awkward and didn't want to get along in the presence of others.
Maybe you can talk about it when you're alone.
The Prince of Arthas thought. Then he followed Uther and the others back to the royal court of Lordaeron.
"So, what is Valoran?" Luo Ning threw out his doubts.
"Oh, that's not in Azeroth. It's on another plane. But now that Valoran is being eroded by the Void, I have crossed the astral plane to Azeroth to see if I can find a place for my people to live. Jiang Weihan thought that in the future, the Draenei would also come here across the plane on the Essoda battleship and be accepted into the alliance, and some pandans would also join the alliance in the future, so he felt that he didn't need to deliberately hide his origins. Pick out a few things about Valoran and describe them to the two human mages.
"You look familiar with our world." Gianna hit the nail on the head, "Have you and your people explored this place before?" We don't even know anything about the Lich King and the Cursed Cult. β
Jiang Weihan was silent for a while, thinking of the guardian Medivan who has been committed to saving the fate of mankind in the future, and he has been persuading people to take the right path, but unfortunately neither the wise King Terenus, nor the wise Antonidas, nor the Prince of Arthas, who is deeply loved by the people, listened to him. It was only when his prophecy came true that Gianna followed his guidance to Kalimdor.
What Medivan did was undoubtedly good, but unfortunately there was something wrong with it. A terrible prophecy alone is obviously not going to impress a king.
It might be better to add some facts.
Jiang Weihan thought so, so he said seriously: "Actually, I have only been in Azeroth for a few days. But before I came here, I already knew a lot about the world. Let's just say that there are some powerful people who are able to capture some secrets from the endless river of time that we mortals can't reach. In my homeland there was a powerful prophet named 'Blizzard' who entered the time of Azeroth while meditating. Everything I know about the world comes from his guidance. β
Then he added, "And some of the things that the prophet Britchard foresaw after coming here have already happened, and some are happening." β
