Volume IV The Reign of Chaos 216 The Violet Tower

Do you want to go back in time? My lord.

That's right, that's ...... Past. Do it all over again.

No, no, no, don't talk about that corridor yet, just talk about it now...... Do you want to go back in time?

Well...... Let me put it another way. You feel ...... about where you are Do you regret it?

Are you thinking?

Hehe, you must have regretted it a little, right?

Ha, don't harden your mouth, my lord, I'm the one who can talk to you now, and I'm the one who can talk to you well in this extremely cold place, so don't hide it. What was your expression just now...... I regret it a little, right?

Hi...... There's nothing to be ashamed of, you're so old.

Honestly, I regret it...... Pass. Well, it's regret. Once I came across a ...... The caravan, the guy at the head of the caravan, who was at least twenty years older than me, talked about the past while we were talking, and one of the guys said that when he talked about the past, he regretted it, regretted this and that.

Actually, I was very resonant at the time. I was still ...... A little young. I will also be ...... for the inaction of the past, the impulsiveness of the past, and the mistakes I made Regret.

Oh, some are regrets, some are regrets, and there are ...... Mortified.

I will also desire to redeem something, to go back to the past and start over. I think it's human nature, so I guess that's how I think......

But the leader scoffed at the remorseful statement. He snorted, "Does regret matter?" I never regret it. ”

The tone of his voice at the time made me uncomfortable, and the way he interrupted others made me even more unhappy. I wonder how this birdman is like this. But then slowly...... As I got older and experienced, I realized what he meant.

It's true...... What's the use of regretting?

If regret is useful, is the world still like this? Maybe it's long gone.

But then I suddenly realized a question, why would he be so determined to say that he did not regret it? What kind of person will not regret it?

Now that I think of that person...... Rich is richer than ordinary people, but in fact, he is not much rich, but why he said this so confidently, I feel that the important point is that he is a ...... Very rational people, and the more rational people tend to be less emotional. It cannot be said that he has no feelings, but he has his own clear plan, steps, thoughtful and step-by-step everything that happens to him. It's impossible for this machine-like way of thinking to have too many ups and downs.

There is also a possibility that it is something that has been experienced, and then it is seen that it is open.

To say that now I ......

I don't regret it, and I don't regret it.

No...... It's not any emotion, it's just that I suddenly thought about it. Because the mirror in that passage is the folded space-time. There are really countless projections in it, but it's not just my current self, but also ...... Past!

It's true...... I saw Kel'thugad when I was a human, even though standing next to me was a skeleton.

But Kel'thugad told Arthas with great firmness not to move, and as he walked past me, he reached out and patted Arthas on the shoulder. "Your Majesty, go this way!"

I don't know how it goes, but it's a dizzying sight to watch. Some images are in the opposite direction to you, some are the same, some are the same as you, some are the opposite, and some are following you forward, some are going backwards. And countless images seem to be countless people walking towards you and leaving you, they are right next to you but can't touch them.

I didn't really understand how I got out at the time, I just followed Arthas and Kel'thugad who were staring ahead, and Kelthugad did some strange postures, and had to adjust their postures every once in a while. Then he walked out in a daze.

Later, when he was in Naxxramas, he wanted to make one of these ...... channel, but it didn't work out. That's when he told me how to get out of that passage.

He said that both sides of that passage are projections of this world, your past. Time is ticking, and the mirror is fully recorded, and it looks into the past even earlier. Not only can you see yourself, but you can also see others.

The most important thing to walk through this passage is to recognize which is the current self, the real self. The surroundings are all their own appearance, only one is the projection of their own now, and the other projections next to it are all from the past for a while and a long time in the past.

Some people are drawn to the past, especially to see who they used to be, who they were a long time ago, or who were two or three days ago. But once you are attracted to that image, especially when you touch it, it is easy to get lost. Even if you don't get lost, you can't find where you are now. Because there are so many images! There's still yourself ten minutes ago, can you tell? What were you like ten minutes ago?

It is unknown who researched and created the passage, but it is said that it was made possible by the research of the Guardians, especially Medivan. And the first test for those who are allowed to enter the tower is to be able to pass through this passage. The reason for this is that there are many secrets in this tower that even Kel'thugad does not know.

And the people who have been allowed to enter this castle for so many years, and who have actually entered it, can be counted on two hands.

And the reason why Kel'thugad walked in here...... It's for the Book of Medivan, and that book not only records the secrets of time and space, the way to travel between time and space, but also ...... How to get the energy in it.

Including evil powers!

But Kel'thugad didn't want to get the book and go back to study, he had something else, one that would make him lose his ability to become the most powerful magician forever.

After passing through that passage, we entered the main hall of the castle, where the ceremony was going on, and they probably didn't expect us to come in, and Kel'thugad was even more violent, he was extremely angry, shouting that you miscellaneous fish were also allowed to enter here, and it seemed that Dalaran had run out of gas.

The six mages were not very old, they were all mages in their prime, and they should be better in terms of physical strength, but their qualifications were obviously not comparable to those of an old fellow like Kel'thugad. And the reason why Kel'thugad is even more angry is that there are actually many magicians with good qualifications in Dalaran, and they should be here instead of this group of mediocre guys. This is an insult to his efforts over the past few decades.

Those magicians are actually people who support the magic barrier, and I'm not sure if they're the last support of the barrier, but they should be able to hide in this kind of place.

Kel'thugad didn't even let Arthas move, he pounced on it. Six prime-age mages were no match for it, so Kel'thugad had let these six guys die a miserable death.

The death of the six mages did not bring any changes, and Kel'thugad rushed to the front, and we followed him upstairs.

There was nothing thrilling upstairs, not even the slightest resistance. Until we reached the top of the castle tower, there were two huge elemental creatures in front of the door.

When an elemental creature that only appeared in mythology appeared in front of me, I thought it was very interesting, not scary at all, and even a little funny. It was the second time I've seen anything like it.

The first time was a stone seen in the arid and barren land north of the Stormwind Kingdom and further north to the south of the Dwarven Kingdom...... Element.

The stone element is really not cute, but the water element is different. These things were huge, the dome of the platform had to be four or five meters high, and the water elementals were three meters high. And these things are not humanoid, they only have two arms and two big hands that resemble humans, and the rest is completely different, they don't even have faces!

These things are not divided into front and back, left and right, only up and down.

Kel'thugad didn't stop us when he saw it, the two things stood motionless in front of the gate, and if it weren't for the slight sensation of flowing water on them, it would have been two pieces of clear glass.

I didn't rush up, but someone was the vanguard. But the two guys who rushed up were directly knocked away by the two clouds of water.

I knew water had power, but I didn't expect them to have so much power. I drew my bow and arrows, and when I shot two arrows, those two arrows went straight through their bodies and into the wall.

And our Mr. Kel'thugad has never seen anything like this!

Can you believe that?

Hmph, now some mages summoning this elemental creature are not just legends, more and more mages are beginning to master the skill of summoning water elementals, but can you believe that a mage of Kel'thugad's level didn't summon this creature at that time?

This spell is also one of the secrets in Dalaran!

And what I did just now completely illustrates the point, that only magic can destroy magic. Kel'thugad's frost spell still had a bit of an effect, at least it made the two guys condense. Taking advantage of the condensation of us to rush up, this is really sparing, swords, hammers and axes are smashed and slashed indiscriminately, those who dodge are dodged, and those who do not dodge are stoned to death or smashed.

Just as we struggled with these two things, we found that they were getting harder and harder. Do you know how hard an icicle is the size of a bucket?

Yes? Is it good to attack? After they solidify, it's not whether it's good or not, but it doesn't have a big impact. It's best not to get close when they're spinning, and when those things fall down and fall on them...... Well...... I don't know if a three-ton or so thing will turn into a rotten meat sauce when it hits me, some of our guys were crushed to death, probably because they were dead for a long time, and I didn't see it smash into meat sauce.

And when these two things were in front of us again, there was nothing we could do, especially when I felt really powerless, and Arthas stepped up again.

I don't know what absolute power is, but I don't think there is absolute power in the face of water. This kind of thing...... Nothing seems to be able to wipe it out in an instant, except for extreme cold and heat. And then there's magic. But I don't know what magic is, how it destroyed him.

Arthas's sword polluted the two things, and they went from colorless to black. I thought they would be controlled by Arthas, but they ended up shattering to pieces. Looking at the black crushed ice stubble on the ground, Alsace seemed a little satisfied.

Arthas kicked the door open, reminding me of the way he walked into the chamber where his father was seated.

The hall was not very large, and the walls were surrounded by tall bookshelves except for the huge windows. There was a desk and a chair by one of the windows, and that's all. Oh...... There is also a door at the end of the hall, and outside that door is a rooftop.

There was no one in the hall, and when Arthas kicked the door open and walked in, I looked around and was a little surprised, and that's it? Is this the end of it?

Kel'thugad rushed to the bookshelf, his posture feeling nervous and excited, and I would have liked to see what his expression looked like if it weren't for his facelessness.

"Where!" He began to mumble to himself.

"Where!" He began to get cranky. "It should be here! Where did that old thing put it! ”

I looked at it suspiciously, and Arthas frowned, while the elven traitor next to me stood silently and stared at Kel'thugad.

Suddenly, Kel'thugad shouted, "Yes! Before he could finish speaking, his claws burst into flames, and with a wave of his hand, a bookshelf burst into flames, followed by a second, and then a third! When the fourth bookshelf also burst into flames, the windows suddenly shattered.

A gust of wind mixed with snowflakes blew the fire on the bookshelf in an instant.

And a blue vortex of energy suddenly appeared in the middle of the hall, and an old man walked out of it. "Kel'thugad, your sins are unforgivable!" He stared at the skeleton and said hatefully.

"You...... Recognize me? Kel'thugad's hood shone with a blue glow.

"I know you when you turn to ashes!" Antonidas said.

"Yes......" Kel'thugad snorted. I thought you were hiding, too! ”

"I'm going to stop you and kill you...... And also...... You guys. The old man showed a murderous aura that had never been shown before.

"Hah! Kill us? No...... You're going to die before the things you're guarding......" Kel'thugad said. "And I'...... It's the one who kills you. ”

"Why are you doing this? Tell me Kel'thugad, why! Antonidas saw that this man did not have the same peace as he had been many years ago. I remember that these two people came at the blessing ceremony after Gianna was born, and the two should have had a good relationship at that time.

"You...... There are too many secrets in control, you hide and cover them so that we don't see them, you are afraid that these things will be learned by us, are you afraid? Kel'thugad said hatefully.

"What should be known to you, will be known to you! Knowing in advance what you shouldn't know can only be a disaster! Antonidas roared back, he didn't expect this guy to be so confident at such an old age.

"Ah...... So that's it! So what should we not know? ”

"You've become what you are now, you come to ask me?" The old man said in disgust.

"This is the result of conservatism, the world needs new people, new strength, new rules, and this is the result of a rotten person like you." Kel'thugad said as he threw an ice pick at him.

I've only seen this old man cast a few spells, but they were all blessings and other spells, and today is an eye-opener. His spell level was much stronger than I had imagined, and although his eyebrows and beard were gray, and his hairline had receded violently to the point that there was not much left, the old man's movements were very fast and powerful.

With a wave of his hand, the icicle that Kel'thugad had thrown exploded. That scene reminded me of the Battle of Talummere. Although this place is not big, but the intensity of these two people is worthy of a group.

When these two men fought, I stood far away with Arthas and the others, and Kel'thugad had reservations in front of him, and at this time he was quite violent, and what could he do if he thought he was not worthy of his name, and that he was not very much of an enemy of Kael'thas? I don't know if it's because of hatred or what, the spell it unleashes is not only large but also quite powerful, basically a fireball or ice ball smashed over in the blink of an eye.

And when a storm suddenly blew around Antonidas and surrounded him, the wind grew bigger and bigger, and Kel'thugad threw a fireball at him, and the fireball was directly blown away by the spinning hurricane, and then extinguished in an instant.

Just when I was amazed by this energy, I suddenly saw two figures looming out of the hurricane. And when the wind suddenly stopped, two water elementals were summoned. But these two water elements are obviously much more powerful than the two in front of the door just now, these two things are not just a group of water, these two things actually have armor on them!

And the way those two flashing eyes stared at us was much more shocking than the two just now. At that moment, the two raised their hands at the same time, and two huge ice picks shot towards Kel'thugad.

Those two ice picks are so big...... If only it was thigh-thick, it was much thicker than a bucket. Come up and put such a big spell, this is really worthy of the armor on your body.

Kel'thugad is worthy of being the Great Lich, and he used his energy field to take these two spells. Although he didn't hit his body directly, his body still shook violently.

I was taken aback. I was about to go up to help him, when the two things raised their hands, and two huge rings of ice exploded around them. The air that was clearly covered with ice ballast produced a tremendous thrust.

This spell is really ruthless!

It is said that the water elemental summoned by some magicians now looks weak and not very scary. The direct reason is that this magician can't do it, and the water element summoned by Antonidas is wearing armor! And these two things also cast spells, and they sink with a lot of power!

Arthas didn't come to his aid at first, but Kel'thugad unceremoniously approached Arthas for help. And Arthas can also see that these two guys will definitely not be able to win the lich in the end.

In fact, if you sit idly by, there will be no things behind, after all, the energy needed for a while is not a little bit.

Arthas also joined the battle, but his addition immediately turned the tide of the battle, and I was still trying to see if I should rush forward to join the battle.

And the wind that rushed in from the window in an instant was not only filled with snowflakes, but also mixed with a miserable wail. This because it was just a call sign and did not hurt Antonidas for a moment. It was this stunned that was almost caught by the black smoke released from Arthas's sword.

At this time, Antonidas fully demonstrated the quality of the highest level magician, and he disappeared directly in front of us with a flash technique, in fact, he had already appeared outside of my vision, and at this time, a huge ice pick fell from the sky.

Arthas immediately raised his arm to block it, but the huge icicle smashed him underneath. To be honest, I thought Alsace was finished.

That ice pick is really big! And it's not one or two that fall, the spell released by Antonidas is more powerful than ordinary mages is that the ice picks are very large and dense.

The last time we were attacked like this, Alsace only took a beating, but then missed. But this old man's spell seemed to last longer than it was large and dense.

Seeing that Alsace was smashed underneath, I rushed forward.

Antonidas' eyes glanced at me, a look I'd seen, a long, long time ago, and I remember it vividly. That look is not fierce, but it makes people feel very uncomfortable, it is to see through people at a glance, and see through it! And it's scary...... That fear is all ...... A majesty, an invisible pressure.

I wasn't really scared at the time, but now that I think about it...... A little chilling. If he had come to life and glared at me like that, I would probably have thrown his weapon away. But at that time, he rushed forward so fearlessly.

He glared at me as he swung his right hand in front of me. I only felt a huge air rush rushing towards me, and even my eyelids couldn't close a little, and I flew back again.

When I got up from the ground, he said viciously, "I should have killed you the first time I saw you!" ”

I glared at him, but I was speechless.

"How many times have we met?" He looked at Kel'thugad to the side, "I used to see him too!" ”

I coughed hard, "You old man's head is so good." ”

"If it was good enough, I should have killed you, from the beginning I felt that you were a child of chaos, and that disaster would occur where you were. But I didn't kill you with my own hands! "His face is already extremely ugly." Now the mistake has been made, but I'm not going to let it continue. You and him...... And they had to die. ”

I got up from the ground and threw myself at him. Kel'thugad screamed, crackling, and a huge ball of light flew past me. Antonidas raised his hand to block. And the hammer in my hand was raised!

I'll kill you first, archmage.
