When Alexandros Mograini, with blond hair and a blond beard, appeared in front of Uther, the paladin didn't show much surprise.

All the warriors and priests of Brill together were only five or six thousand men at best, and as a necessary place for the undead to attack Quel'Thalas, the fall of which was a matter of time, Uther had expected this.

"How's it going inside?"

Alexandros Mograini was surrounded by a group of retinues and whispered to Uther, apparently keeping an eye on the meeting, even when he was in Brill at the time, as the fate of the whole of Azeroth was at stake. ※Note 1※

Shaking his head, Uther smiled tiredly, and Gavin Rad and Farrar behind him hung their heads.

"Those damn people, don't they know what's going on right now? The undead, those dark creatures, hey..."

Alessandros Mograini thumped his chest and his face was full of grief - even though he had anticipated what was to come before he arrived, the estrangement and alienation between races and nations was far beyond his imagination.

But time is running out for them, and if they want to save this disaster, the only one they can rely on is themselves.

With this in mind, Alexandros Mograini stepped forward, clung to Uther's ear, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "By the way, don't worry about those stupid guys, you come here, I'll show you something." ”

In the paladin's bewildered eyes, old Mograine grabbed Uther's hand and walked towards a hidden basement in the backyard of the Chapel of the Holy Light's Wish.

During this period, the elder Mograini also briefly introduced his staff lineup.

As the chief advisor to the Grand Lord of Brill, Alexandros Mograini, Farbanks has been doing his best to assist his leader, and although he is only a fifth-order priest, his intelligence, ability to do things, and loyalty to the Mograine family are far superior to his strength.

At the same time, although the fifth-order priest Ethan Lion has been active as a liaison with the Knights of the Silver Hand, between the Tirisfal Glade and Andorhar, his comprehension of the Holy Light is absolutely amazing, if it weren't for Xue Huan's use of the bottom of the cauldron to draw salary, put him to death and come back to life, and deceived the wise eyes of this archbishop, I am afraid there will not be a series of disasters such as this.

After the fall of Lordaeron, Ethan Linen, who had been preaching at Barnier's farm, was forced by the situation to rush to Brill, the nearest to him, to find the old Mograine, the High Lord, and rush here with the latter.

Grand Inquisitor Sally Whitemayne hails from the Scarlet Abbey, and as one of the few female priests of the Order of the Silver Hand, she has long silver hair that is as smooth as a waterfall, and her good face and hot body make her the dream girl of many paladins, but she herself does not seem to care too much about these admirers.

Iceberg beauty - this is perhaps the best evaluation of this beautiful prosecutor.

And, of course, there's the fourth-order arcane mage, Duane, a short mage with a brown beard, whose natural humor and unique insight into things make him always get extra attention.

When the group of several people came to the basement located at the back of the chapel, everyone's expressions were serious, it was quiet and the structure was not complicated, a large rectangular table, a few low stools, and a few bits and pieces, no one knew about this secret joint point except for them, the high-ranking leaders of the Knights of the Silver Hand.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Alexandros gestured with his eyes to Whitemayne, who nodded, and then closed the wooden door tightly, a cautious approach that made Uther, Gavonrad, and Farrar's expressions even more serious.

Alexandros glanced at everyone present, except for Falar, almost all of them were high-ranking Silver Hand executives he knew or trusted, but Falar, as the former head of the Storm Knights, his seniority and innocence, as well as his loyalty to the Minahir royal family for many years, were enough to gain Alexandros' trust.

Other than that, no one else...

Taking a deep breath, he turned his gaze to his old comrades on the side, "Uther, do you know the origin of these undead and the real instigators behind the scenes?"

The sudden words made Uther a little confused, and the paladin glanced at Gavonrad, who was also at a loss, and shook his head helplessly, "Although it is a pity and a sad feeling, I have to admit that Mograine, at least for now, we still do not know the true identity of the mastermind behind those undead creatures. ”

At this, Uther sighed, and for him, this was undoubtedly the saddest.

The country was destroyed, the king was killed, and even His Royal Highness, the only prince, was blinded by the hatred of the country and the family, as courtiers, not only did they not have the means to immediately destroy those undead creatures and avenge His Majesty Terenus, but they even had no clue about the true identity of the leader behind the murder of this series of massacres.

Farrar behind Uther quietly lowered his head, in his heart, he was inescapable of the destruction of Lordaeron, but Alexandros's words below made the sixth-order knight's eyes light up, and the flame of revenge in his heart was rekindled.

"In Brill, I used to see that guy in person..."

When Alessandros Mograini said these words slowly, all eyes suddenly turned to him.

Uther, Farrar and the others had anger in their eyes, and Whitemayne, Ethan Lion and the others had a little fear and a hint of anticipation in their eyes, but no matter what, everyone wanted to hear for themselves about this mysterious guy who had destroyed the entire Lordaeron dynasty and commanded an army of tens of thousands of dead—even if it was the target they were all about to exterminate.

"That guy is strong, both in terms of strength and speed, at least I... not his opponent..."

"What!?"

"Impossible!!"

Everyone present was shocked, and Uther, who knew Alexandros' true strength, widened his eyes even more, and he couldn't even say a complete sentence.

How terrifying is the power of the man who could make this arrogant and conceited Lord Alexandros Mograini say this...

But the shocking thing was still to come, Alexandros recalled the battle in Brill at that time, and his heart was still palpitating, and he tried to piece together the information about the Lord of Darkness from the few memories he had, "The guy was riding on a black warhorse, his face was covered with long silver hair, I couldn't see what he looked like, but thousands of zombies and ghouls became well-behaved and obedient under his orders, and also became more bloodthirsty and berserk." ”

"Especially the strangely shaped sword in his hand!!"

Recalling the key place, Alexandros's tone became more solemn, "That magic sword that exudes the breath of death seems to be the root of all evil, it is one with that hateful guy, no matter how sharp and strong the weapon in our hands is, as long as it collides with the magic sword in his hand, it will be instantly shattered into pieces by the corrosive power." ”

Hearing this, everyone gasped, it was the first time they had heard such a detailed description of the Lord of Darkness, but just hearing Alexandros tell it made a chill rise up their spines.

At this moment, they realized what kind of terrifying existence the dark force they were about to fight against!!

Suddenly, the whole room fell into a dead silence...

But after a few minutes of the oppressive atmosphere that permeated the room, Uther was the first to break free, and the paladin slammed the table hard, and the loud noise pulled everyone back from their fear.

"Even so, what can it be? Will the Silver Hand be afraid?"

Uther's sharp eyes swept over everyone present, and he said firmly and forcefully: "We represent the glory and inheritance of the paladin, and we are the embodiment of justice!

The paladin's resolute voice and impassioned tone lifted everyone's hearts and made Alexandros secretly give a thumbs up in his heart.

"If you're really going to try to beat those guys, then for now, I'm going to tell you something else..."

With a mysterious smile, Alexandros took a deep breath, and the Great Lord took out a delicate small black box from his arms with a cold face, threw it on the table casually, and motioned for Whitemane to open it.

Whitemayne, who received Alexandros' signal, stepped forward and carefully opened the delicate black box, and then, a black light suddenly burst out, and at this moment, everyone present felt the pure dark power that permeated the room.

"It's... What is this?!"

"The Light is above, so... Such a terrible dark force!!"

Gavin Rad exclaimed and stood up from his chair, a little frightened but a little curious, this was the first time a paladin had encountered a crystal that contained such pure dark power.

The paladin's movements were a little cramped, but when Gavenrad tried to touch the crystal that shone with black light with his hand, Alexandros stopped him sharply.

"Don't try to touch it, Gavonrad, or your hands will be like this!!"

Alexandros took off the glove of his right hand, in everyone's impression, his glove had never been taken off, but when everyone's eyes focused on the right hand of the great lord who took off the glove, everyone was stunned to find that Alexandros had a deep scar on his left hand.

"That's the price I paid when I first touched it!"

Glancing at the crystal on the table, in the shocked gaze of everyone, Alexandros put his gloves back on, and slowly recalled: "In the Second Orc War of the year, I was ordered by King Terenus to snipe the orc army that had absconded north. ”

"I searched for this magical gem on one of the captured orc warlocks, and the dark power it emitted caught my attention, so I quietly hid it. ”

"This level of darkness, Mograine, we must destroy it immediately!!"

This opinion is expressed by Ethan Lien, a priest who has always been a proponent of the salvation of the Holy Light, and he is also here at this moment.

"No, listen to me, Esenlien. ”

Alexandros stopped the archbishop with his hand and explained: "I have not told you about this because I am afraid that you will try to destroy it, but I still do it today to ask you to do me a favor. ”

Ethan Lion did not lose his mind, he knew very well that Alexandros would not do anything against the Light, so he asked, "What is the problem?"

"Concentrate the power of your Light on this gem. ”

In the bewildered eyes of the crowd, especially Uther, Alexandros slowly explained: "There are always two sides to everything, and so is the Light that we reveal. The end of the light is darkness, but the end of the darkness is also the light. ”

"If we follow this line of thought, can we make an assumption that in this incomparably evil shadow creation, there must also be an equivalent power of Light. ”

"You want me to infuse this crystal with the power of the Light?"

Ethan Lion quickly understood the meaning of "help", and he lightly tapped the surface of the crystal with the staff in his hand, and with such a simple movement, a stunned point of light stopped at the top of the staff, but quickly dissipated.

"No!"

Faced with Ethanlien's question, Alexandros shook his head, "I have done this before, but unfortunately, my Light energy is too weak to reach the limits that can transform it, so I need your help!

"I don't know why, but I have a vague hunch that this crystal... Maybe it's the only hope to counter that magic sword in that guy's hand..."

The magic sword that exuded an evil aura planted an indelible shadow in Alexandros's heart, and whenever he had the opportunity, even if it was one percent, he had to try!!

"Well, maybe it wouldn't hurt to try..."

After a long time, Ethan Lion sighed.

The archbishop stood up and aimed his staff at the black crystal, and the others grasped their weapons as well.

"Three, two, one, start !!"

Except for Falar, who did not have any power of holy light and fought purely on his own, the other six people poured all their holy light energy into the crystal.

Under the eager gaze of everyone, the crystal began to gradually emit light, which was different from the previous black light, but a holy, pale golden light. The dazzling light forced everyone to close their eyes, and some even reached out to block the glare of the light.

The scorching light lasted for three minutes, and when the light faded slightly, Alexandros was the first to open his eyes, and to his great surprise, the black crystal had completely turned from black to pure orange under the power of the Holy Light.

The High Lord couldn't help but reach out and touch the surface of the crystal, and just as Alexandros' right hand touched the surface of the crystal, a warm current instantly spread from his fingertips to his whole body, and this power shocked him.

Alexandros quickly took off his gloves and looked down, his eyes immediately widened!

His wounds...

The wound caused by his accidental touch of this gem was miraculous... Healed!!

"The Light is above! It's so beautiful, and when I touch it, I think... The light flowed through my body, and it seemed to heal my soul. ”

Alexandros held up the crystal that shone with holy brilliance and looked excitedly at Uther, who was also affected by this atmosphere and could not help but burst into tears.

The crystal, filled with the power of the Light, was named "Ember Bringer", meaning that when it awakened, it would leave only a cloud of ashes in its path.

It will be secretly sent to the Ironforge and handed over to the master smith, Magni Copperbeard, who Alexandros hopes will use his mastery of forging skills to unleash the power of the Crystal Light.

The day the artifact is born, the end of evil!!

The High Lord is confident that the legendary weapon forged from this crystal that gathers the energy of the holy light of the six of them will finally sever the sword of evil, and the holy light, which symbolizes hope and glory, will also shine on the earth again!!
