Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Rupture
"Why, is this important?" Kel'thugad smiled and continued, "Instead of caring about that, let's talk about something more meaningful." ”
Brad shook his head and said, "Why, that's what I'm most concerned about. ”
Brad had always thought that Kel'thugad would join the Lich King in the last life because he was seduced by the Lich's new magic, and Kelthugad was a research maniac who would devote all his energy to it after indulging in something. This was the case during the years of contact with Kel'thugad, who spent most of his time in his real room, and because of this, he did not even find a spouse.
So, in this life, Brad unleashed the magic of two worlds for him to study, and even tricked him into Draeno at the end, Brad thought that by doing so, he basically cut off the possibility of him becoming a lackey of the Lich King again, but the reality still made him extremely disappointed. Kel'thugad, who treated himself as a father, still degenerated.
Because his fall has saved the Lich King too much time, as the core layer of humanity, he knows humanity too well. What kind of troop deployment, the distribution of towns, the number of cemeteries, etc., can be known if the human brother wants him to have a heart, and the human race is transparent to him. It was because of this betrayal that he found a loophole even under his careful defense.
Because of this, countless humans have become a walking corpse, and a wonderful world has become full of lupus. Seeing Kel'thugadbrad now was more painful and confused than anyone else, and he didn't know what he had done wrong. Why did Kel'thugad have so much, he still embarked on this road of no return.
For from the moment he knew he was the leader of the Scourge in Lordaeron, Brad knew that Kel'thugad was dead, even if he was under the control of the Lich King. Even his own teacher must die, he has committed a heinous sin, and even his death a hundred times cannot make up for his mistakes.
"If someone asks me, I'm dismissive." Kel'thugad slowly raised his head, looked at the sun in the sky, and said in a fanatical voice: "But you are my most valued disciple. Bright, look at how wonderful this world is. ”
"Of course I know the beauty of this world. And I am using my practical actions to protect him, and you, you are now my enemy, the one I least want to be my enemy. Brad interrupted.
Kel'thugad smiled bitterly. Said: "Brad. You still don't get it. Look at you, how strong the vitality is. And you're looking at me, my beard and hair are snow-white, and my skin is full of furrows. My back is no longer so straight, and my eyes are not as bright as they used to be. Even though I was a few years younger than Anthony, I could feel that I was quickly getting to the point where he needed magic to even listen to people, and we all knew that even the best of things. Anthony won't live more than ten years. So what about me, how long will I live? Ten years, I'm afraid I won't live for twenty years. ”
A flash of lightning flashed through Brad's mind, and he suddenly understood.
"Are you for the so-called eternal life?"
"Hahahaha, you finally get it." Kel'thugad laughed and said, "Yes, I am for life, and I do not expect any eternal life." But I am not willing to let my life disappear in just a few decades. How stupid your ancestors were, and how clever Egwene was. But I can't get the power of protection, and I can't become a demigod in my lifetime. I'm not reconciled, why do we humans have such a short lifespan. You look at Kael'thas, decades have passed, he was like that when I became an archmage, now I'm an old man, and he's still the same. Why, why is my life so short, I still have too much magic to study, I still have endless real things to do, it takes time, you know? ”
Brad was silent for a long time before he said, "Teacher, you still have time and hope to become a demigod, but you yourself have given up. And how many people have you killed for your time alone, 100,000, or 200,000, and more in the future. Once you fought to protect humanity, but now you want to bury humanity with your own hands. Go back, teacher. ”
"I've done everything, what's the use of talking about this now, Brad, you should know me, I never knew what it meant to turn back." Kel'thugad stared into Brad's eyes and said, "My disciple, don't lie to yourself, I can't turn back. Didn't you come here to kill me? Brad, I have to say you're excellent. I almost went crazy when you lost your career mark. But what everyone didn't expect was that when you got up again, you covered everyone's light. You have never lost a war, your territory has become the pearl of Azeroth, and your strength has become a legendary powerhouse in a short period of time. You know, you're only in your twenties. I think I was a legend at the age of 50, and I was a great genius. And as your teacher, how can I be willing to be mediocre. I don't want to be after I'm dead, or even many years later. When people mention me, they say, oh, Archmage Kel'thugad is Brad. The teacher of Tirisfa, that's all. I don't want that. ”
Brad's eyes widened suddenly, he didn't expect the teacher to think like this, but it was understandable, after all, the teacher was such a proud person. He never thought that anyone was better than him, even if that person was his disciple.
"Brad, come to my side. Your life will be infinitely long, and you must know that Aurelia is a High Elf, and her lifespan is at least a few thousand years. You, on the other hand, are only a tiny part of their lives in just a few decades. ”
"Let me surrender to Naozu, a defeated general, you might as well ask him what was the first thing he wanted to do when the Scourge Legion was formed?" Brad continued: "Besides, I don't necessarily mean I can't be a demigod. Teacher, you have disappointed me so much. I have asked the Red Dragon Queen for a blessing, and you are on this path. ”
Kel'thugad was stunned, he didn't expect Brad to be emotionally appealing to the Red Dragon Queen for him. You must know that if you can't live forever, you will live for thousands of years, which is less. You know, the World Tree's supply of energy from the New Well of Eternity has given the Night Elves eternal life.
"Brad, it's my luck to have a disciple like you, but it's also my misfortune. It's the greatest sorrow to be in the same era as you, and I think other strong people will think so. Because of your save, let their merits and deeds be overshadowed. A trace of madness flashed on Kel'thugad's face, and then he said loudly: "I am not willing to be like this, I want the whole era to know, I am also the protagonist of this era, how can my generation of archmages be inferior to his own disciples, this is a big joke, for this goal even if this protagonist is a villain, I will not hesitate." ”
Seeing the endless darkness in the teacher's eyes, Brad was furious. He knew very well that although his teacher was radical before, he would never be so crazy, obviously under the control of the Lich King, who released and expanded all the dark side of his heart countless times, and occupied the entire soul, if he was responsible, he believed that no matter how persistent the teacher was, he would not do anything that endangered mankind.
"Naozu, you've succeeded in provoking me off. Don't think you're safe hiding in Icecrown Fortress, wait for me, and I'll finish you off with my own hands before long. ”
"Presumptuous, dare to be disrespectful to the master. Even if you are my disciple, it is unforgivable, I originally wanted to take you with me to obtain endless eternal life. But you actually spoke nonsense to your master, and from now on you will no longer be my disciple, and I will also break you into thousands of pieces. Kel'thugad's abyss-like eyes were filled with anger as well.
"I never thought of you as my teacher now, my teacher is dead. As you said, I will also slay you to pay tribute to the souls of countless people who died in vain. ”
"Arrogant, do you really think you are an undefeated god of war? From the moment you step into the battlefield, you are in a desperate situation. Enjoy the wrath of the dead! ”
Kelthugad raised his arms and said loudly, and as he spoke, Brad noticed that the ground was shaking, and then he saw one undead after another emerge from the ground...... (To be continued......)
