Chapter 80: The Ruins of Dalaran
Lordaeron, the ruins of Dalaran, the castle of its former glory had been destroyed by this time, and all that remained was ruins and rubble, except for the occasional cry from time to time from some birds passing through the sky, and it was eerily quiet.
Ever since Akmund destroyed the last of Dalaran's last resistances with his terrible evil magic, the once magical city has been in ruins, and although the mages want to rebuild their homeland, the huge shortage of funds and manpower has put this proposal on hold indefinitely, and Archmage Modra, the last member of the Council of the Six of Kenrito, seems to have no intention of doing so, and the mages who have escaped with her men seem to be more inclined to settle external worries first and build a good relationship with the upper echelons of the Alliance. The enthusiasm for foreign conquest was much higher than the rebuilding of Dalaran, so two years later, the Violet Castle still remained as it was when it was destroyed.
It's just that the originally quiet ruins are now welcoming a group of uninvited guests.
In the deserted streets, a group of snake-like, scaly creatures with their lower bodies writhing and crawling on the ground under the demonic leadership of a horned demon on their heads, their eyes constantly looking at the surrounding buildings, their eyes full of curiosity.
The Naga, originally the upper elves who chose to pledge allegiance to the fallen Titan Sargeras in the Great War of Antiquity, but were sunk to the bottom of the sea after the explosion of the Well of Eternity, where they were cursed and tortured into their current form, and they have not set foot on land for tens of thousands of years, and they are now full of curiosity about the world.
However, although they were a little surprised by these strange buildings on the land that were different from the ancients, these Naga did not forget to take matters seriously, and saw a somewhat bewitching four-armed female Naga at the head of the group and asked the leading demon, "Lord Illidan." Why are we here? It looks like this place has been destroyed! โ
The demon hunter who walked in front paused slightly, and then smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth. He took out a crystal clear green gem from his bosom, "That's right. Dalaran was indeed destroyed by the Burning Legion, but the magic here has not been exhausted, and the source of magic has not been destroyed, - the huge magic power combined with this Eye of Sargeras, we can achieve our goal! โ
Illidan's eyes darkened slightly, after the expulsion of the Night Elves, his life was not easy, and Mavi and her guards chased him like mad dogs. And this is not the most troublesome, the most troublesome thing is that as a half-demon, he was targeted by the Burning Legion again, and when he thought of the terrifying figure that befell him that day, Illidan trembled.
The fraudster Kilgardan, another giant of the Burning Legion in addition to Akmund.
The opponent's strong strength was unmatched by Illidan, and in order to survive, the demon hunter had to choose to give in.
And Kil'Gardan's first order to Illidan was to destroy Miรจ and betray the Lich King of the Burning Legion, and the Demon Hunter knew he had to do it, because the Burning Legion would not allow defeat.
In order to achieve this goal. Summoning the Naga from the deep sea as an ally, he delves into the Tomb of Sargeras to find the Fallen Titan's treasure, the Eye of Sargeras, albeit with a slight accident. But at last he finally came here, and he was only one last step away from completing Kil'Gardan's orders.
"yes. Only one last step away," Illidan said, retracting the Eye of Sargeras. He whispered, then turned abruptly. Pulling out the Aeginos blade at his waist, he slashed through the air.
"Just get rid of these little bugs!"
The abandoned house was split in two from the waist, and a smooth curve was cut through the gap, and the upper half of the house slid down slowly.
Several dark shadows sprang out from the back of the house, and with a slight leap, they jumped onto the nearby roof.
Looking at the other party's pointed ears and blood-red armor, Illidan's brows furrowed, "Blood elves, what are you doing here?" โ
Demon Hunter didn't have much of an impression of the descendants of these former compatriots, after all, the High Elves had been banished after he had been imprisoned, but he knew Darth Rema? The Sunchaser, but apparently in front of these elves who pointed their bows at him, it was useless to mention the name.
And just as Illidan was looking at the blood elves, the blood elves were also looking at this famous demon hunter, for this operation, almost all the high-level blood elves under Mo Wen were dispatched, Sylvanas, Wenressa, Leadlin, Solan Lian, Lannasel, and Braumux all came, and with such a lineup, Mo Wen repeatedly reminded them not to take it lightly, because they still have the possibility of losing, and how not to make the arrogant elves dissatisfied, Want to see what the other party is capable of?
His eyes wandered back and forth over Illidan's horns and bat wings, and finally landed on the cold glowing blade of Aeginos, Sylvanas's expression was slightly solemn, but then he chuckled again.
"Are you the famous demon hunter, you don't look very good!"
Illidan's brows furrowed even tighter, if he could, he didn't want to have a conflict with the blood elves, but the other party was obviously not a good person, and the few people who had just run out of the back of the house had already formed a faint circle, trapping him inside, and in the perception, there were still many troops on the periphery of Dalaran who were rushing here.
The other party came prepared, just an instant, the demon hunter judged from the other party's state that a vicious battle was inevitable, although it was not clear why the other party recognized him from the beginning, but obviously the blood elves would not be okay to gather troops in the ruins of Dalaran, and it was obviously impossible for him to solve the other party with a few words.
And since they are enemies of each other, Illidan will naturally not be polite, in the face of Sylvanas's provocation, he sneered and said disdainfully: "This sentence Darth Rema told me is almost the same, how can you be a junior with such qualifications!" โ
"-You!" Sylvanas's breath was choking, and her teeth itched with hatred, but she didn't have anything to say, after all, she was indeed a little younger than Illidan's age, and this was a figure who had fought with her ancestors.
At this time, Solan Lian, who was standing on the side, interjected, only to see her eyes look at Illidan coldly, and said directly: "Hand over the well water of the Eye of Sargeras and the Well of Eternity, Illidan, otherwise this place will become your burial place today!" โ
There is no superfluous nonsense, but Solan Lian, who is the most loyal to Mo Wen, directly clarified the meaning of the blood elves.
Hearing this, Illidan's face changed, the issue of the Well of Eternity was not mentioned for the time being, but the Eye of Sargeras was the key to his mission, and it was his own life, so how could the demon hunter hand it over?
"I don't care where you got the news, get out of here before I change my mind!"
Holding the Aeginos Blade in his hand, Illidan looked at the blood elf in front of him and said coldly. (To be continued......)
