After stepping down as Guardian, Egwene, who had recluded himself and devoted himself to the study of spells, was also aware of the changes in his magical energy. The advanced magic that used to come at her fingertips had a strong sense of obstruction at this moment, not only did the consumption of energy increase, but even when it was released, even she herself was already a little unsure of whether it would succeed or not.

As the top group of archmages in this world, although after stepping down and handing over the power of the guardian, in terms of strength, she is no longer comparable to her peak, but the knowledge she has mastered, the skills she has mastered, and the secrets she knows are still in her hands.

She was confident that even she was not afraid of the Council of Tirisfa, who had split up with her. What's more, after stepping down as a Guardian, she is not without growth. At least she had mastered a new system of magic from her magical confidant, Agatha.

Although it is a bit unsuitable compared to the arcane and other magical powers of Azeroth, it is not impossible to change it. All you need is a large energy source that meets the requirements.

And this energy source, Egwen has a goal in mind.

Dragon's Tower!

As a tower created by Bakar, the king of the tyrannosaurus, he collected countless precious materials and unknown knowledge in this world, and it contains powerful energy in itself.

Egwene hadn't seen the Well of Eternity, so it wasn't easy to compare, but she had experienced the Well of the Sun in the Elven Empire's Quel'Thalas. In terms of pure energy, the Dragon's Tower can be seen as the sunwell of human mages.

It's just that this place is too sensitive, and although she didn't return the key in her hand after stepping down from the position of guardian, it also attracted Dalaran's attention and vigilance.

The old antiques still think that there is something wrong with her way of thinking and acting, and for this reason almost every time they meet, they are arguing. In the end, they parted ways directly, and later she also put two councils on the guardian and the key.

Fortunately, she was not in a hurry, she still needed a certain amount of time to familiarize herself with and master the magic of this new system.

But now, after eliminating her own factors, she was surprised to find that there was a problem with the magic system she had mastered!

Magical energy becomes inactive, and even more difficult to perceive, master, and manipulate, and even shows resistance and uncooperation when it reaches a certain energy value. This greatly increases the difficulty of casting, as well as the failure rate.

"Agatha, do you know what the reason is?" Egwene subconsciously asked the question to Agatha, who was in the same situation as her.

"It's like someone has put a lock on the energy." Agatha thought thoughtfully. She even felt a vague sense of familiarity in it.

"Isn't energy accessible to anyone? How can it be locked? And how can it be locked? Egwen felt his intellectual outlook take a hit.

Who is idle and has nothing to do to lock up energy?

And who can do that?

The antiques of the Council of Tirispha? They don't have the strength!

Those magical elves of Quel'Thalas?

They already have the Silver Moon Enchantment, and once they lock it, won't it make the elves explode and cause a big mess?

"The energy of the ownerless is, of course, available to anyone. But what if there is a Lord? For example, gods? To use the power of a god, you first need to be a believer in it, right? Depending on the level of devotion, different levels of energy supply can be obtained. Can you use the powers of the gods without a non-believer, or without permission? Agatha gave Egwen a reply that she understood instantly.

"Are you talking about the god of magic? But there are no gods in either arcane or magic. We're just studying the rules of this world. Arcane and magic are the bonus that comes with this research.

We believe in arcane, we believe in magic, but we don't believe in one or another. Egwene shook his head. She thought that mages were very similar to the profession of mathematicians that Agatha had told her about, that they were rigorous, sensible, cold, one and the same, and most importantly, that only the best and brightest men had the talent and talent to study magic.

The dull can't play spells.

So even if there really is a god in this world, Egwene doesn't have too deep faith. She and the mages only seek the power of magic.

"It used to be, but now, it doesn't have to." Agatha's face was heavy. She had already figured out where that familiarity was coming from.

Dimensional Demon God!

Some people say that the dimensional demon god created some kind of power, and there are also people who say that there are dimensional demon gods who just discovered some kind of energy. For example, Sithorne, the god of the dark arts.

Even she couldn't have a definite answer to that level of secrecy, but there was no doubt that the situation of having a master of energy was too normal in her cognition!

She also knew better than any mage here the importance of high-quality energy! And how important it really is to have a new, powerful energy source!

It's a shortcut to the sky!

Why did she get to where she is now? Isn't it because you're eyeing a huge energy source?

She thought that Luke was a scientific ordinary human who was similar to Stark and the others, and it was impossible for her to master that energy and become its master, but the facts told her that her conjecture was wrong.

It was precisely because of a wrong conjecture that she was so desperate in the face of Luke.

Although the other party seemed to have given her a way to live, Agatha, who was shielding her soul connection all the time, realized more and more deeply that this life path was rugged and bumpy, and full of life-threatening dangers.

As for locking energy, or even stealing and appropriating other energy by doves occupying magpies' nests, isn't this the unique skill of some bald female mage?

She can take the energy of the Lord without telling her, let alone the energy of the Lord in this world. If it were her, then it would not be difficult for Agatha to directly obtain permission and become its representative master.

As Herder, who had inherited all the magic methods of that Supreme Mage, he was able to do the same.

"What do you mean?" Egwene looked at Agatha in surprise.

"She's coming." Because the soul connection was forcibly blocked by her, although it made it impossible for Herder to locate her exact location and probe her memories, but similarly, Agatha could not accurately grasp Herder's information. But as the shadow grows heavier in her heart, she finally has to confront the threat of Herder in her heart.

Maybe in the near future, they will meet again.

Even Agatha had a faint strong premonition that even if she went out at this moment and saw Herder appear in front of her, it was possible, not surprising.

And when the time comes, one of them will inevitably become a complete material for the other party.

Although she didn't want to admit it, even if she mastered the magic system of this world, her strength was already stronger, but she still didn't have the absolute confidence to win against Herder. The pressure on her from the other party was too great. The despair and loss that defeat you in the way you are best will be deeply rooted in the depths of your heart, difficult to eradicate and impossible to extricate from.

"The enemy you spoke of?" Egwene's mind moved, and suddenly he thought of a terrible enemy that Agatha had told her about.

"yes. If I'm not mistaken, it's all the other side's doing. Only she can do this kind of thing easily. Possessing such vast and endless energy for himself...... "Agatha's heart was bitter, but also gave birth to strong envy and unwillingness.

This is the path she has been thinking about for a long time!

Whether or not Herder did it, this kind of behavior obviously forcibly interrupted her plans. Yes, she would love to possess that power as well. This is because her knowledge and means in this area are still in the embryonic stage. She followed Egwene to learn the magic system here, and learned the magic knowledge here, just to better understand and master this energy.

Judging by the process, her actions were successful.

Judging by the results, she was the first to get started.

"That Luke, or rather, Herder?" Egwen was thoughtful. She looked at Agatha, "If she really keeps the magical energy for herself, then not only me, but I don't think the people in Dalaran will be able to escape either." Maybe soon, they're going to come to the door.

I would have been reluctant to see them before. But this time, let's hope they can bring us some useful information. ”

As he spoke, Egwene sighed.

Originally, I thought that the world would be safe if I solved Sargeras, but I didn't expect that there would be other troubles from outside the territory. And this time, if something goes wrong with the magic energy, then the trouble is probably big.

At least the power of this world as a whole will slide down to a terrifying level, and in the face of the occasional demons mixed in, as well as the disasters hidden in this world, the power of human beings and other races may become a little insignificant.

But she now lost that peak power.

"Looks like there's really something wrong out there." Agatha sighed.

Agatha, who was involved in the construction of the surrounding magical enchantment, also had the magical enchantment authority in this area, and she almost sensed the warning that the magical enchantment had been touched at the same time as Egwene. The two of them glanced at each other, and each was sure of the previous idea.

Egwene opened the magic barrier, and when he walked out of his mage tower, he saw a familiar old face.

"You already know what I'm here for, Egwen." Looking at Egwene who came out, an ugly smile appeared on Antonidas's wise face.

"There's a problem with the magical energy, I know." Egwene nodded.

"Do you know who did it?" Antonidas asked. "You know, Dalaran is in a mess now, and I've even been asked by the guardian dragons, who have never been willing to pay attention to the outside world. But once they're involved, you can understand what that means, right? ”

"It means that the world has encountered the thorny and troublesome things of the Burning Legion, or the Dragon Empire." Egwene answered without hesitation. It is only when this world is threatened that the guardian dragons will take the initiative to emerge from their lair.

"yes." Antonidas sighed.

"So, you think I did it?" Egwene saw Antonidas' suspicion and asked bluntly.

"Of course not, I'm here just to ask you for some information. I can tell you know something, don't I? You've always been so disdainful of hiding your true emotions. Antonidas didn't have much hope for his visit, but seeing Egwen's face now, he had a hunch that he would have a big gain this time.

"It just so happens that I want to know the information from the outside, too." Egwen ushered Antonidas into the Mage's Tower.

In the following time, Egwen, Agatha, and Antonidas frankly exchanged the intelligence information they had with each other, and finally the three of them summed up their intelligence information, and there was already a result.

"It all seems to have something to do with the outsider named Herder." Antonidas' face was full of distress: "Kael'thas, the prince of Quel'Thalas, was studying magic in Dalaran, and according to the news he received, the elves' sunwells had also changed.

A team of orc invaders invaded Quel'Thalas without alarming the barrier, and somehow sealed off the sunwell. The energy of the sunwell is gradually declining, and perhaps soon, the elves of Quel'Salas will face a [depleted] sunwell.

The Dragon's Tower has also changed. I don't know what the hell the king of Kel'thugad and Lordaeron did. I had warned Kel'thugad, I had warned him not to study his dangerous summoning psychic magic again. Obviously, he didn't listen. Perhaps this disaster came from Kel'thugad, who did not heed the warning. ”

"Without Kel'thugad, there would have been others. Our world is being targeted! "Egwen, on the other hand, saw it very thoroughly. How can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves?

"Would you like to come out and help? Having lost its energy, Dalaran's guardian power has fallen to an extremely dangerous level. Those ordinary mages may not have much influence for the time being, but like us, the archmages, their strength has inevitably fallen. Antonidas invited Egwen and Agatha.

"What about Medivan? As a Guardian, shouldn't he stand up? Egwene thought of his son.

"He fell into some kind of unknown slumber for more than a decade, and when he woke up, he disappeared." Antonidas's face was even more ugly. If the power of the Guardians is there, they may still have a powerful hole card to play. But now, that hole card is gone!

……

A group of noble elves are engaged in a fierce argument in the royal palace of the City of Silvermoon. The controversy began with an invitation. The invitation was sent by an orc.
