Chapter 50: I May Not Be Human, But You Are a Real Dog!
Azeroth has two moons, referred to as the double moon.
Tonight, the larger of the two moons rises first and hangs in a round shape in the night sky, illuminating the stars with a silvery white moonlight.
Beneath the soft moonlight, the peaks of the Red Ridge Mountains adorn the mountains.
At the western foot of the mountain range is the Elwyn Forest, covered with oak and satin wood, which stretches from the hilly terrain to the sea.
To the east was a vast black swamp, a swampy mountain filled with streams and rivers, where the dark portal that released the orcs was located.
To the south, there is a upwind trail.
In ancient times, an unexplained explosion occurred here, forming a crater, in which the space-time void in the middle of the crater collapsed, becoming a space-time node, connecting other worlds and the warped void.
When Medivan grew up and became a powerful guardian, he was attracted by the nature of the time and space here, and for long-term research, he built a mage tower in the center of the node and settled down.
This is Karazhan.
King Ryan of the Stormwind Kingdom, a childhood friend of Medivan, learned of this and gave him the place directly.
As a result, after merging with the power emanating from Medivan, Karazhan gradually merged with the space-time node, and the mage tower itself became a part of this special space-time.
This folded and distorted time and space has led to many illusions in Karazhan, which are not illusions or ghosts, but real.
Fragments of the past or future are embroiled in the chaos of time and space, appearing in places where they should not be.
"Medivan once used a metaphor to describe this uncertainty, the time in ordinary people's concept is a clock, every moment, where the watch hand goes is determined, his mage tower is an hourglass, people can't know the movement of every grain of sand in every moment in the hourglass, those confused illusions, just like these sands."
Sir Lothar, who had escorted Varian to Lordaeron, looked out at the ancient tower towering over the mountain from afar and fell into memory.
He was childhood friends with Medivan and King Ryan, and grew up together in Stormwind, Iron Buddy.
But now, he has come to end Medivan's life with his own hands.
Kel'thugad stood beside Sir Lothar and savored these words, and the elven prince Kael'thas on the other side continued: "And the final effect of the hourglass is the same as that of a clock, time advances in the direction of a characteristic, and finally every grain of sand will fall to the bottom, worthy of the guardian, a wonderful metaphor!" ”
Kel'thugad nodded: "It has now been determined that the leader of the Burning Legion has eroded Medivan's soul, and Medivan's research on the Karazhan plane is the basis for his creation of the Dark Gate, and finally brought the orcs of another world into our land, instructing them to burn and loot ......"
He was very unhappy with Kael'thas the elven prince.
But now the relationship between the two sides has also been completely relaxed.
Because Kael'thas also joined the squad.
Everyone knows that this trip is more auspicious, the respect of Prince Kael'thas dares to be suspected, and what small contradictions cannot be put down?
"So how much does the ghost in Karazan affect us?"
A beautiful female voice rang out, and Winlessa-Windranger spoke.
She looks a little similar to Sylvanas, heroic and compelling, and calm, and she is the eldest sister.
Hearing Wen Lesa's doubts, Archbishop Alonsos Fao, who was standing at the end, smiled slightly and said humorously: "Compared to the real goal, ghosts are just desserts that the Holy Light makes us relax. ”
This is the revered archbishop of all human kingdoms, and his followers are spread across the continent.
In the original plot, he was the founder of the Paladin class and the Knights of the Silver Hand, and likewise, he was the master of legends such as Uther, Tirioferdin, and Tulayan.
Now, of course, his heirs, with the exception of Uther, are not well-known, and the archbishop was invited by his friend Lothar to take up the post of priest.
Sir Lothar the Warrior, Kel'thugad the Mage, Kael'thas the Guest Thief, Captain Winlessa the Ranger, Archbishop Fao the Priest!
How luxurious!
Among the Seven Kingdoms, there is no more powerful lineup than this!
"Let's go!"
The three humans and the two elves glanced at each other and walked towards Karazhan in unison.
Up close, Karazhan's exterior, made of heavy white bricks and stucco, reaches into the sky, taller than the surrounding mountains, and looks more like a lighthouse in the moonlight.
At the base of the Mage Tower is a low wall, and outside the wall is a residential area that used to be bustling inside.
Medivan was given a fief, the lord of the town, who ruled the town and dug a large cellar underneath to store the wine.
"There was once a large population here, and even there were dozens of people hired by Medivan to watch the cellar!"
Sir Lothar was sad and old, and could not help but feel nostalgic for the old days.
Medivan is too homely, nesting in the tower all day long, and rarely takes the initiative to go out, so the place where the three good friends meet is usually in Karazhan.
When the king traveled, he was naturally accompanied by the princes and nobles, and Karazhan at that time was full of people every day.
Inside a mage tower, there is an opera house and a dance hall, and it is often full, can you believe it?
But now, everything is desolate.
The town was abandoned because of haunted rumors caused by illusions, and because Medivan became less and less visible, and his temper became more and more eccentric, and the residents avoided it.
The silence in the tower now almost means that Medivan no longer hides it, opening the devil's mouth, waiting for the stupid hero to throw himself into the net.
But the more this happened, the more determined Sir Lothar's gaze became, and he reached out against the door and pushed it away.
This most powerful and now mysterious mage tower in the whole continent unfolded in front of everyone.
It was not quiet in the tower.
A group of monsters, crowded in front of the door, quietly watched the crowd.
There are demons that have escaped from the Mirror Tower, and these demons are ironclad evidence of Medivan's fall;
With the apparitions just mentioned, Sir Lothar even saw his past self and King Lane;
There are cursed souls, explorers who died in Karazhan, their souls are cursed, and they cannot be reborn;
There is also Medivan's mana residue, the guardian's powerful power, so that the mana residue after he casts the spell can be condensed into arcane elements, which has a lot of threat......
Good guys, a gathering of heroes, a good start!
"It looks like Medivan gave us a grand welcome ceremony!"
Sir Lothar felt his blood boil and raised the sword of oath symbolizing the defense of Azeroth, and the warrior roared:
"Charge !!"
……
"They're fighting the monsters in Karazan."
At the same time, at the back door of Karazhin's lower level, the substitute squad sneaked into the animal pen.
During Karazhin's glory days, cattle were raised on a large scale to cope with the daily feasts, but they are now abandoned.
As for the enemy, there are none, they are all besieging the main squad at the gate!
Due to the cooperation of the Thunder Spear Guards and the Red Dragon Clan, their speed of rushing is still the main team that sneaks over cautiously along the way.
But in order to give the main force a face, Huang Shang waited a little and asked Kel'thugad to open the gate first before touching in.
Companion: "......"
The main force covers the substitutes, which is really the first time.
Even Enzos was relieved.
This guy does this to everyone, and it's not bad for it.
Seeing Enzos obediently held by the paladin, the Red Dragon Queen was shocked and watched frequently.
She had great fear and distrust of Enzos.
But along the way, Huang Shang talked to her.
Anyway, the Burning Legion is really coming, and the world will also be destroyed, so it is better to use a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
The Red Dragon Queen was convinced.
"According to the original plan, we are going to find the survivors in the tower, and remember that whoever it is may play a key role in our defeat of Medivan!"
The content of the reincarnation's confession, Huang Shang got it from Kel'thugad, and justifiably told everyone the original fate trajectory.
On the surface, the key plot characters in Karazan are the apprentice Khadgar, a spy sent by Dalaran, and the other is a spy sent by the assassin Garona and Guldan, and Medivan is like gin.
But how could Medivan be so miserable, in fact there was a loyal servant in the tower.
Butler Moros.
In Huang Shang's view, after the intervention of the reincarnation, this person is more important.
Of course, Moros may have been killed by now, but it doesn't matter, Karazhan is a very special place, where fragments of past and future space-time gather.
There is still a chance for them to "meet".
"Aha, let me see what this is?"
Brian Copperbeard was too excited to help himself, looking at the empty pens and eager to go in and study the horse manure.
Huang Shang held him down.
This forced in the original plot is notoriously unlucky, and it must be arranged:
"Brian, you and I are in a group, Sylvanas, you and the queen are in a group, we will go our separate ways, but only in the lower level, after an hour, whether you find it or not, you will come back here to meet and go to the upper level!"
"Understood!"
Each of the four walked on either side of the pen.
When I really walked in Karazhan, I found that this mage tower is really huge, it is almost like a small city, not to mention the mage tower of Kel'thugad, and even the mage tower of Antonidas is less than one-tenth of it.
Brian was amazed, if it weren't for Huang Shang pressing him, he wouldn't have known where Sa Huan had gone, and he didn't even let go of the torches on the wall: "You see, these torches emit a cold light, and they won't shake when blown by the wind, and they don't need any fuel, as long as they are lit, they can burn forever......"
Huang Shang nodded, and humbly asked: "You are worthy of being an explorer, what does this mean?" ”
Brian made a small jump, landed on the torch, stroked it carefully, and grinned: "I don't know yet, but I have a bold idea!" ”
Huang Shang directly stopped: "Put away your bold ideas, Brian, this is not the place for you to explore!" ”
Brian was silent for a moment and spread his hands: "Then you better tie me up!" ”
A moment later.
Huang Shang held Enzos with his left hand and Brian with his right hand and continued to move forward.
Brian: "......"
You're coming!
I'm kidding!
Huang Shang is not joking, even if there is Thanos to take care of, but they are facing Sargeras, the super demon who blasted the planet that Thanos pinned on with one punch before, you can't be too cautious, you just obediently give full play to your super detection attributes.
Brian Copperbeard is a character that people love and hate in all the ruins, he loves that he can always find traces and clues that others can't find, so that the journey can be rewarded, and hates that his endless desire to explore will turn this harvest into a disaster......
Now that Huang Shang is tethered to him, it can be used a lot, and he only plays his advantages.
"There's a problem here!" 520
"Chacha, there should be a secret passage!"
Brian Treasure Hunt lives up to its name, and in less than a few minutes, the traces of the Chamber of Secrets have been discovered.
It's a pity that when Huang Shang opened it, he found that it was a place where sundries were piled up, and there was nothing worth exploring.
"It's just such a place, why is it deliberately hidden?"
He thought about it carefully, picked up a broom, and continued his search.
The sound of fierce battle at the main entrance was faintly heard, and he, who was cheering for his mentor in his heart, quickly searched three or four secret rooms.
Some of these secret rooms had to store magic props, and some stored magic books, all of which he put away, looked through them roughly, and found that they were worth a lot of money.
In the original plot, after Medivan's death, the apprentice Khadgar continued to carry things from Karazan to Carazan in a cart, packed them and transported them to Dalaran.
Includes Medivan's artifact, Etiyesh - The Guardian's Staff of Legends.
But there were so many good things in Karazan that they didn't finish moving until Khadgar was trapped in the Outlands.
It's an exaggeration!
Unfortunately, this is not a good thing for the time being.
Because of these
It's also impossible to temporarily learn the magic book and immediately defeat the strongest mage, so this drags down Brian's treasure hunting ability.
Fortunately, the hard work paid off, and when the fifth secret room was opened, Huang Shang finally smelled the breath of death from the inside!
This time, when I opened the door of the secret room, what appeared in front of me was a hunchbacked old man, wearing a black worsted attendant uniform, sitting on the ground, his eyes closed, and he was already out of breath.
Brian asked, "He's Morros, the butler?" ”
Huang Shang nodded: "It should be, I'm sorry, Steward Moros, we're going to disturb your long sleep!" ”
He reached for it, but a magical barrier immediately rose, blocking the desecration of his corpse by would-be adventurers.
Brian's personality was a bit of a gloating, "Aha, do you want me to come?" ”
Huang Shang shook his head slightly, and did not let Enzos go, but handed over the original broom.
The barrier slowly vanished, and Morros's corpse opened its mouth, and a circular shard the size of a lens fell out.
"Even after his death, he was loyal and attached to Karazhan!"
Huang Shang performed the etiquette and picked up the fragments.
Brian also fell silent, but the dwarf girl suddenly changed color: "I'm a little uneasy, are you sure you want to see it?" ”
This fragment is the space-time fragment that is characteristic of Karazan, which can show things from the past or the future.
And to make Enzos, the ancient god, feel uneasy, Huang Shang knew that there must be information about that person in it.
He took a deep breath, touched Enzos's head, held her in front of him, and opened the shard.
Swish!
An oval-shaped picture appears, like a lens, showing a scene from Karazhan's past.
The main character in it is a man with his hair tied in a ponytail and dragged behind his back, and from the side, he is no longer young, and his beard and sideburns have turned gray.
Of course, many powerful mages have such symptoms, and there are many white-haired grandfathers at the age of twenty-five.
It's all about dressing up.
At first glance, it appears to be made of coarse cloth, embellished with rudimentary ornamentation, and a maroon hood cloak draped over broad shoulders, which is not worn.
But this dress is completely unpretentious and unpretentious, and if you look closely, you can find that it is made of the finest silver wire, the workmanship is natural, and even the pattern is changing all the time.
One moment it is a natural elf, another moment it is a dragon soaring over the sky, and the next it is a strange pattern.
But the elves and dragons that Huang Shang has come into contact with do not have the unique charm of the clothes pattern, that is, the red dragon queen, so she can barely surpass it.
The lens is slightly deflected.
Moros, the butler, could be seen standing beside him, calmly watching the man take notes.
Finally, the man is in the notebook. Then he slammed the book shut and looked away.
So, Medivan's face was finally revealed.
This middle-aged mage, of course, was the guardian Medivan, he was only in his forties, but he looked very old, his whole face was full of wrinkles and exhaustion, and his eyes were hidden under the thick black eyebrows, and there was something faintly swaying and fluttering in these emerald green eyes.
This is actually Moros's induction.
He was so familiar with Medivan that even more so than Medivan's mother that even if Sargeras hid it deeply, the old butler could faintly sense that something was wrong.
So Medivan was staring at him as well.
No, at this moment, Huang Shang, Brian, and Enzos felt as if Medivan was staring at him across time and space.
That kind of vision is extremely strange.
Neither looking down nor contempt, but an inclusiveness.
It's as if everything about them is just a corner of the world, and Medivan is the entire starry sky, the infinite universe, containing them.
In such a relationship, there is naturally no contempt and contempt, because you are a part of me.
It's even more than I'm your dad.
After a moment, Medivan's gaze averted.
Not to mention that Brian was pardoned, even Enzos felt a sense of relief.
It was as if in ancient times, the Lord of the Pantheon, the Father of the Gods, who had pinched Aschaji's death, had just passed by it.
That's really atmospheric, and I don't dare to come out.
But this is an illusion.
The next moment, Medivin suddenly looked at the camera.
This time, instead of looking at the housekeeper Moros, he looked at the camera accurately, his eyes did not blink, and he said: "Have you broken into my territory and imagined the consequences?" ”
The wrinkles on his face suddenly unfurled, like a supreme god, just, ruthless, and violent.
As soon as the thick eyebrows intertwined slightly, countless thunderclouds accumulated and fell, and they exploded.
"Sargeras!"
Huang Shang spit out the name in his heart.
There is no doubt that this is the dark incarnation of Medivan.
To be precise, this is the doppelganger of Sargeras, who borrowed the womb to resurrect and descend into the world.
This time, he's a mage.
Now, the two, who had a brief confrontation in the Marvel Universe, are here again through time and space, staring at each other.
In just an instant, the ash envoy behind Huang Shang suddenly trembled, and he immediately pulled out this divine weapon and took a step back.
Just before and after, a greenish-blue flame suddenly rose from where he had just stood.
If it hadn't moved, it might have been burned to the ground by now.
"Terrifying magic!"
Huang had not yet heard Sir Lothar relay Madison's analogy, but he could imagine that it was actually turning the grains of sand in the hourglass of time upside down.
Instead of falling vertically, it suddenly turns and attacks the target.
Even if it's across time and space!
So, Huang Shang retreated step by step, and a puff of flame rose from under his feet.
It looks like hiding from fireworks, but it's actually thrilling, and there can't be anything wrong with the slightest difference.
"Attack that shard!"
I don't know if Brian is too weak, this kind of time attack didn't go to his side, change to someone else, must beg grandpa to tell grandma, rejoice, but Brian is the master who is afraid of danger, seeing that the situation is not good, this looks like everything that happened in the past will be destroyed, directly lift the double axe, and cut it to the shards.
Sou! Sou!
It was too late, but Brian's decisive shot was really successful, and the double axe slashed directly at the fragments.
Crash!
The whole fragment shattered in response, and Medivan in the lens also shattered, but the eyes of the supreme god seemed to be broken into countless parts, distributed on each small fragment, looking at it in great horror.
Whoa!
Fragments fell to the ground one after another, and some catapulted onto the body of the butler Morros.
"And that's the end? It's a pity, we don't get any useful information about this fragment of the past! ”
Brian stepped forward to pick up the axe and stuck it in his waist, his forehead already covered with cold sweat.
That is, after reading a brief memory of the past, he didn't even find any useful information, and it was like being chased by a series of monsters in the ruins, and he was almost alive, which was so exciting that he was about to collapse.
"How can there be no harvest, to be able to meet Medivan in advance, this is the biggest gain!"
"But ......"
"It's not over yet!"
Huang Shang was halfway through his words, and suddenly threw Enzos, who had been holding it in his hand and was stiff, down.
Boom!
At his feet, a flame actually rose, and the green inside was abundant, and the terrifying evil energy eroded everything, and then pounced on Enzos.
"Shhh
Enzos pumped hard, and was burned to ashes.
"Whew!"
Huang Shang exhaled.
This is the real end.
In magic, there are illusions, but they are relatively niche, but Medivan has obviously used magic to deceive them.
If it weren't for the Divine Soul Realm of his gods and demons in adversity, if he was replaced by someone else, the archmage would also be on the street.
Flicking the purple ash in his hand, Huang Shang skillfully touched out a purple potato.
After half a ring, the dwarf girl stood up again, her hands on her hips:
Convex (艹) convex!
I may not be human, but you're a real dog!
