Above the Shattered Isles, the legendary magical city of Dalaran hovers above the sea, and above it, hovers a massive Void ship, the Inquisitor of the Demon Hunter Knights.

On this day, Narulandil on the Judgment suddenly burst out with a dazzling holy light, and immediately after, a dark shadow enveloped the entire Dalaran and the Judgment, and a spaceship far larger than the Judgment passed through the spatial rift and suddenly appeared in the sky.

Khadgar, Kael'thas, and Karegoth, who were discussing matters aboard the Judgment, slammed to their feet, their faces panicked, but they were in ecstasy when they saw the Demon Hunter insignia on the bottom of the massive ship!

"It's Captain Edward, that's right. Randil's usual unwavering voice trembled a little, "I feel his presence, right in the middle of that larger Void Ship." ”

As soon as Randil's words fell, a portal appeared in front of the three Khadgar - the only ones who could open the portal on the Judgment without any scruples were Edward or Cullen, who had higher authority than Randyer, the Void Ship's energy core.

Without hesitation, Khadgar entered the portal and appeared on the bridge of the Witcher.

As soon as he came out of the portal, Khadgar gave Edward a warm hug. Then, Karegos and Kael'thas, who were following him and familiar with Edward, also stepped forward to hug him one by one.

The three of them looked the same as before, only Khadgar had become a little more mature, but from his gaze, Edward could still tell that the new Guardian's character was still a little immature in his steady.

"It is a pleasure to be here to meet you, our Forerunner of the Light. Kael'thas looked at Edward, "I haven't seen you for so many years, your appearance hasn't changed much, you really don't have elven blood?"

Edward smiled, "You haven't changed much, Your Majesty. I met Gianna in Stormwind, and I heard you're on the verge of success?"

"Of course, there's nothing I Kael'thas can't do. The king of the Dawn Elves said proudly, "This time, you will also attend my wedding!"

"Definitely. Edward smiled, patted Kael'thas on the arm, looked at Khadgar and said, "Congratulations, I heard from Gianna that you seem to be the new Guardian? ”

"I don't really care about it. Khadgar scratched his face and said, "However, since I became Medivan's apprentice, fate seems to have predestined that a little person like me will eventually become a guardian. ”

"Am I going to say that Khadgar you were raised by me?" Edward joked.

"No, no matter what, I'm also one of the members of the Kenrito Council, the new Guardian, and one of the commanders of the Anti-Demon Alliance. Khadgar said embarrassedly, "Even if you are a Herald of the Light, the legendary hero of Azeroth, it would be embarrassing for me to call me that. ”

"Then you'll have to invite me to dinner to shut my mouth. Edward smiled and looked at Karegos again, "Carré, how are you doing with Avena?"

"She's fine. "Since that battle, Queen Alex has groomed her body and turned her into a human girl with a long life. But the price is that she will always be an ordinary person. ”

"Still, that's what she and I want, Anvina is a girl who likes to be quiet, and I'm very happy with her. ”

"How is Queen Alex now?"

"Since your battle with Deathwing, the five dragon kings, Alexstasa, Malygos, and Nozdorm, have retired and passed on their throne to their heirs. Ysera returned to the Luna in Valsara, and Nesario was killed by you. The age of our dragons is over, and now it is the age of mortals. ”

"I'm sorry about Ysera. ”

"Don't talk about such sentimental things. Kael'thas looked around and changed the subject, "This is your car for traveling through all walks of life? I've never seen a spaceship this big, it looks bigger than Dalaran!"

"This is the Demon Hunter, built after the Judgment was completed. Edward gave a brief introduction to the structure of the Demon Hunter and the core of the majestic ship. Also, they were introduced to Hermione and Ciri.

"It's nothing short of a miracle. Kael'thas tried to imagine the most expensive red wine in their Silvermoon City, and sure enough, a glass appeared in his hand, and even the delicate texture on the glass was exactly the same as he had imagined.

The king of the Dawn Elves took a bite and immediately let out a wonderful exclamation.

Khadgar and Karegos did the same, not only in the wine of Silvermoon City, but also in a table full of delicacies that they usually yearn for but can't eat. He sat down very unceremoniously and began to push the glasses......

"Hey, you've got enough. Edward watched his achievement point shrink a little, and said depressedly, "Don't try to embody this luxury again, it comes at a price!"

"Don't be so stingy, Herald of Light. Kael'thas feigned anger and said, "Look at you, not only did we not invite us to the wedding with Hayley, but now there is an extra Lady Hermione. Do you want to make it back?"

Khadgar and Karegos nodded their heads, their mouths stuffed with food in their mouths and vaguely condemned Edward.

"Nice to meet you. Hermione covered her mouth and chuckled, and said generously, "Please enjoy it, if you can, the three of you can invite friends over for dinner, I want to meet more of Edward's friends." ”

"That's right, we'll convince Edward. Ciri sat down generously as well, and added a few dishes with her accomplishment points to make the large dining table in the living room next to the bridge a little more sumptuous.

Edward was speechless, and simply sat down to dine with the three villains.

In the following time, after receiving the news of Edward's return, Ronin and Crassus were also invited to join the banquet. In addition, there is an uninvited acquaintance - Mavi the Watcher.

With the exception of Ronin, who Edward was not familiar with, but was the current mage leader of Dalaran and the husband of Winetha Windrunner, and Mavi, who had always been unpretentious to Edward, everyone else was excited about Edward's return.

Of course, with Ronin and Mavi present, what was supposed to be a festive reception inevitably turned into a war discussion.

"The Burning Legion came very suddenly. Ronin didn't look at the others' displeased faces, and insisted on turning the conversation to their enemies, "In order to resist the conspiracy of the Burning Legion and Gul'dan, Khadgar proposed to collect a new power, the Ancient Artifact Pillar of Creation. But the Burning Legion is clearly not going to give us time, and they have used the Night Fortress of Sulamar as a stronghold to infiltrate and invade the entire Broken Isles. ”

"Pillars of Creation?" Edward had clearly never heard of the term.

"Yes, the Pillar of Creation. Mavi added, "According to the texts, the Pantheon bestowed powerful artifacts on the Titan Guardians to help them restore order to the world, and these relics became known as the Pillars of Creation. At present, we are facing a very passive situation in the face of the oppression of the Burning Legion while collecting the Pillars of Creation. During the Burning Legion's previous raid on Broken Beaches, we also lost His Majesty Varian, Chief Woking, and Commander Karen. ”

"Also, I need to apologize to you. Mavi's face turned very ugly, "There is a traitor among our watchmen, who has lost Illidan's body. ”

"Did the Burning Legion take Illidan's body?" Edward's face changed, and the image of the demon hunter appeared in his mind.

"Yes, it's Gul'dan. Mavi smiled bitterly, "For this reason, the relationship between our watchmen and Illidare has deteriorated rapidly, and if it weren't for the mediation of Ronin and Khadgar, Vasqi of the Illidare Kingdom would even want to wage war against our watchers. ”

"What does Gul'dan want to do?" said Edward, frowning.

"According to our speculation, Gul'dan and the Burning Legion are trying to resurrect Sargeras and have Sargeras reborn in Azeroth with Illidan's body. Ronin sighed, "I consulted a lot of books about the tomb of Sargeras, and finally found that Egwen, who sealed Sargeras, had set up five seals in the tomb of Sargeras. ”

"These seals cannot be approached by the natives of Azeroth and demons, but Sargeras found a way to break them while lurking in Medivan's body. ”

"Unfortunately, Gul'dan is from the planet Draenor, and he is not a native of Azeroth, nor is he a demon, at least his body is a pure orc. ”

"And where is Gul'dan now?" Edward asked, pondering for a moment, "and Illidan's body. I wonder if they succeeded?"

"Gul'dan is still cowering in the Night Keep. "According to our spies, in order for Sargeras's soul to settle in Illidan's body, he also needs a powerful energy source. The Well of the Night Child becomes his target. Sadly, the Children of the Night in the Broken Isles have shown the most cowardly attitude towards the invasion of the Burning Legion - they surrender outright, and the leader of the Children of the Night, Archmage Elisander, is willing to become a lackey of the Burning Legion in order to protect her people. ”

"It's a little more serious than I thought. "That means that now our battlefield with the Burning Legion is spread across Assuna, Varsara, Supreme Ridge, Stormfjord, and Sulama?"

"No, and Broken Beach. Khadgar stood up and looked into the distance through the clear glass on the bridge of the Witcher, "And the broken beach where Sargeras's tomb is located. Most of the Burning Legion was gathered there to protect the Mother of Sargeras. In addition, many people have a hunch that Kilgardan will come in his main form this time. ”

"Why don't you just attack the tomb of Sargeras?" Edward wondered, "If I and my Demon Hunter Knights were to fight, I don't think we need to fear the Burning Legion on Broken Beaches, even if Kil'Gardan himself descended. ”

"It's not as simple as you think, Mr. Edward. "The current situation is that Sargeras could be resurrected at any time, and once this Dark Titan is resurrected with Illidan's body, who can stop him?"

Edward was tempted to say that his target was Sargeras, but to say so now would be a sign of boasting.

"So, the safest way now is to find the five Pillars of Creation, and then use the power of the Ancient Artifact to seal Sargeras!" Ronin continued, "and the clues to those five Pillars of Creation are within the five regions of the Broken Isles. ”

"Well, Grand Mage Ronin, you mean you want our Demon Hunter Knights to help find the five Pillars of Creation?" Edward disapproved of such a safe approach, "but I don't think we need to be so cautious. ”

"What do you mean?" said Ronin with a frown.

"Don't worry, I have my plan, but I'll also send my Demon Hunter Knights to help the anti-demon coalition forces everywhere. Edward said, "And myself, I need to know the situation of the Night Fortress and the Tomb of Sargeras in detail before I can make plans." ”

"In other words, you won't be involved in the actions of various places?" Ronin said in surprise, "but if that's the case, your actions will have a huge impact on our plans, in case something bad happens to you......"

"Alright, Grand Master Ronin. Kael'thas couldn't stand it at first, "Edward has just returned, and it's time to go and find out what is going on." And I don't think Edward is in danger, I know him, he was never an overconfident person. ”

Luo Ning frowned, but did not refute. Now in the Kenrito Council, he Ronin is nominally the leader, but Khadgar has a higher reputation than him, Kael'thas is older than him, and Karegos and Crassus are also clearly on Edward's side, leaving him with no way out.

It's not that Ronin craves power, but in the current situation, there must be a unified voice to call the shots, and the Kenrito Council, as the leader of the anti-demon coalition, is not satisfactory in his opinion.

"Master Ronin, please trust Edward's abilities. Hermione advised, "As his wife, I don't have to worry about his safety, and you can rest assured." And no matter where he is, he has the ability to command the Demon Hunter Knights at any time, and he is not alone. ”

"For example, if he wants to go to the Night Fortress to meet the Archmage Elisandar now, he can teleport there immediately, without worrying about the magic barrier of Surama, or the interference of the mana of the Night Well with space. Ciary also smiled and explained, "So, you don't care what Edward is going to do, I'm sure he'll only bring good news." ”
