Chapter 46: The Secret of Protection

Xu Mo pillowed his arms behind his head, lying on the grass on the hillside, looking up at the sky, except for the two moons, one red and one white, the night sky of Azeroth was no different from the real world that belonged to him.

The mysterious stars, which are bright and dark, twinkling like jewels on a black silk cloth, the Milky Way running between heaven and earth, connecting the deep starry sky at one end and the horizon at the far end.

"Cole, are you still planning to go to the Eastern Plaguelands first?" Luo Ning walked up to Xu Mo, sat down, and asked slowly.

"Hmm!" Xu Mo agreed softly.

"Don't you have no task now, why don't you help ......" Luo Ning hesitated for a moment and asked.

"I have two fellow mercenaries in the Chapel of Light's Wish, I must meet them first!" Xu Mo suddenly interrupted Luo Ning's words, "And I think I'm going to Silver Moon City now...... I'm afraid it's too late! ”

Luo Ning was silent, if someone else said this, he would definitely fight to refute it, but when it came out of Xu Mo's mouth, he couldn't help but believe the stalker in front of him.

"No, no, you're lying!" Behind the two of them suddenly came the hoarse shouts of Wen Leisha.

Xu Mo was startled, sat up from the ground, and when he turned around, he saw the elven ranger with a pale face and red and swollen eyes. He and Luo Ning glanced at each other, and then smiled reluctantly: "Wen Leisha, this is what I said nonsense, don't you mind!" ”

"Cole, think about it again, the mage regiment of Dalarge has entered Silvermoon City through the teleportation orb, as well as the Scarlet Crusaders, the Silver Northern Expeditionary Army, the human army of Riptide Castle, and the griffin knights of Eagle's Nest Castle, they will definitely rescue Silvermoon City, and Silvermoon City will be fine!"

Wen Leisha squatted on the ground, looking at Xu Mo with a hint of hope in her eyes, as if she wanted to get a good affirmation from the mouth of the stalker. She, like Luo Ning, had long been convinced by Xu Mo's wisdom during this mission, and it seemed that as long as this stalker said that Silver Moon City would be fine, she would be able to truly put her mind at ease.

Xu Mo looked at Wen Leisha, who had a haggard face, her eyes flickered, and she opened her mouth several times, but she didn't know how to comfort the elf ranger. This evening, after they landed, they received some rather shocking news from the Brute Hammer dwarves stationed at the Saldo Bridge.

First of all, Arthas, the undead knight who has become the Lich King's right-hand man, has assembled the Scourge and returned to his hometown of Lordaeron. He also killed his father, Lordaeron's king Terenas with his own hands, and turned the whole of Lordaeron into ruins.

This incident actually happened half a month ago, and at that time, Xu Mo and the others had not yet entered Azeroth. Because of the blockade of Lordaeron by the Scourge, the various racial forces and human nations on the continent have not been able to confirm whether Lordaeron has completely fallen.

As for being able to confirm this news now, it is also because the Scourge legion entrenched in Lordaeron has left there, and the huge army of undead has swept across the entire kingdom of Lordaeron from west to east.

The Scarlet Crusaders were besieged in Hearthvale by the undead of some of the Scourge Legion, and the Grand General Abydis (Brigitte's father) and the Hearthvale Lord Tyran Fording struggled to defend the good terrain of Hearthvale. This also made the beautiful knight Bridget worried, and she wished that she would have a pair of wings on her body and fly back to her father immediately.

The Silver Crusade has fought a battle with the Scourge at the Chapel of Light's Wish, known as the Battle of the Dawn of Light. The Silver Crusade under Tirio Fording (Tyran Fortin's father), together with the Knights of the Black Blade, defeated the Lich King and Arthas's Scourge for the first time, forcing them to retreat from the Chapel of Light's Wish.

In fact, Xu Mo had already known the news through Serna, but after the Scourge Legion was frustrated in the Chapel of Light's Wish, he didn't know the movements of these undead.

But now, Xu Mo once again learned the news of the Scourge Legion from the mouth of the Brute Hammer Dwarf. Arthas, with a large army of the Scourge Legion, left the Chapel of Light's Wish and turned north to conquer the High Elf realm, the border of Quel'Thalas.

Wherever the Scourge passed, the forests burned to the ground, and all living creatures were turned into corpses and ghosts by the undead. The Scourge Legion, which had suffered losses in the Battle of the Dawn of Light, replenished its forces again and went deeper and deeper into the elven kingdom of Quel'Thalas.

The last news that the Griffon Knights of the Hammer Dwarves delivered to the rear was that the Scourge had arrived on the outskirts of Silvermoon City, the capital of Quel'Thalas, and was battling the last elven army. This elven army is strengthened by the Dalaran Mage Regiment, led by Winresa's sister, Ranger General Sylvanas, who will be the last barrier and hope for Silvermoon City.

After that, the Hammer Dwarves of Eagle's Nest never heard from them again, and it was clear that the griffon knights were all killed, and the whole battle should be going in the worst direction. After receiving the news, Wen Leisha could no longer control her emotions and cried bitterly.

"Wen Leisa, I'm sorry!" Xu Mo sighed secretly, he didn't want to deliberately distort his judgment to comfort this beautiful elf.

"Woooooo The elven ranger hid his face and ran down the hill.

"Can't you just deliberately say something nice to deceive her?" Luo Ning glared angrily at Xu Mo.

"Accepting this cruel truth early can save her from dying on the battlefield!" Xu Mo looked at Luo Ning expressionlessly.

"Alas!" Luo Ning was stunned for a moment, and sighed with a wry smile.

"Luo Ning, there is one thing I don't really understand, maybe your knowledge can help me!" Xu Mo slowly frowned, "Why did the Scourgeon Legion cross the continent to attack Quel'Thalas in the northeast corner?" It stands to reason that they should have attacked Riptide or Eagle's Nest and opened the way to Ironforge and Stormwind, shouldn't that be the case? ”

"Hehe, this is the purpose of the Scourge that you don't understand, the Scourge is an army that belongs to the Lich King, and the Lich King is a monster created by the dreaded demon Kilgardan of the Burning Legion. They only have two purposes, the Well of the Sun to destroy the High Elves, and ......" Luo Ning said this, and suddenly his face turned pale, as if he remembered something.

"Looks like you're thinking of something?" Looking at Luo Ning's expression, Xu Mo's eyes flashed, and he turned his head to look at the northwest direction of the Arathi Heights.

"No, it won't!" Luo Ning followed Xu Mo's line of sight, and his heart was full of ominous premonitions, which was the direction of Dalaran.

"Whether Silvermoon City has fallen or not, it's too late for us to rush over now. Assuming that the High Elves have been defeated, then the only country on the northern continent of Lordaeron that can resist the Scourge Legion head-on is the last one leftβ€”Dalaran! Xu Mo narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the mage tightly, "Luo Ning, I wonder if there is something in Dalaran that attracts the Scourge!" ”

"I can't tell you that it's a top secret that belongs to Dalaran!" Luo Ning's face was pale, his thin body shook, and he fell to the ground in a daze.

"This secret is already known to the Scourge Legion, so why should you hide it!" Xu Mo smiled faintly, "After getting this information, maybe I can give you ideas!" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ All right! I'm not a qualified member of Kenrito in the first place, even if I leak a little secret, at most I can ask the Mage Council to give me another mission to die! Luo Ning smiled bitterly, "But please don't tell anyone else!" ”

Ronin then proceeds to recount this secret about the whole of Dalaran, which goes back to the origins of Dalaran. The history of Dalaran is now more than 3,000 years old. After the first invasion of the Burning Legion, the High Elves, who were part of the Night Elves, were expelled from the continent of Kadolim and came to the northern continent of Lordaeron.

Deep in the forests of the northern continent, the High Elves established Quel'Thalas on the sacred ancient capital of the jungle trolls, thus beginning the war against the jungle trolls Zu Aman. With the help of the human tribe of Arras, the High Elves wiped out the jungle trolls in a racial sense. In war, the High Elves also taught magic to humans.

It was these human mages who founded the magical city of Dalaran in the southern part of Lordaeron, on the shores of Lake Lordamir. The development and misuse of magic by human mages for thousands of years has caused cracks in the space around Dalaran, attracting the scattered demons of the Burning Legion to invade Dalaran.

When Dalaran's mage realized that he was no match for these monsters, he turned to his teacher, the High Elves, for help. Knowing about the existence of the Ancient War and the Burning Legion, the mages decided to pool the arcane magic of the Mage Council and infuse it into the body of one of the chosen ones, creating an artificial demigod known as the Guardian.

Guardians are extremely powerful, easily defeating scattered demons, and will re-infuse them into the new Guardian when they are dying. But Guardians aren't really gods, and they also have human weaknesses.

Egwen, a human girl, became a guardian, but when she was dying, she did not return the guardian power to Kenrito, but selfishly injected it into her son's body. As a result, her child Medif was tempted to fall by the Dark Titan Sargeras, and in fact, it was Madif who used space-time magic to open the space-time portal to the world of Azeroth and the orc Juno, the Dark Gate.

Madif was eventually killed by Ser Rausa of the Stormwind Kingdom, and his soul was banished to an extraterrestrial planet. The secret that Ronin is going to tell is about Medif, and in the great library of Dalaran, Madiv's magic book is kept. This Book of Madiv contains a space-time magic, the Dark Gate.

"Dark Door!" Xu Mo's eyes slowly widened, "A dark gate that can summon the Burning Legion!" ”

"Yes, Dark Portal!" Luo Ning said with a wry smile.
