Chapter 248: Tai Anno, the soul that can't rest in peace
In terms of strength, the witherers are just a rabble.
But this kind of acquired strange race has a special ability that is superior to other branch elf races.
Magical perception.
After opening the underground magic net pipeline, the witherers who occupy each magic net node in Surama will be the first to sense.
With the Moon Guardian and a large number of Magisters of Quel'Salas moving in, the reason why the Withered Ones are afraid to approach Shar Aylan has been discovered.
When Sarjan, Farodin, and the others first arrived in Shar Aland, the magic in this magic net hub that had been abandoned for tens of thousands of years was very chaotic.
Although the turmoil of the magic in the outside world will not affect Akandol, who directly absorbs the energy of the magic net, the witherers who are extremely sensitive to the flow of magic will instinctively avoid the dangerous areas in their eyes.
Thanks to the efforts of mages such as Serana and Vorittar, the chaotic magic that pervades Shar Alanne has been gradually straightened out, and the mages stationed here can directly invoke the energy of the magic net that overflows from the hub without the consent of the blue dragon.
This is a good thing, but the restoration of the magical chaos means that the Witherers will no longer be afraid of Shar Aland.
Once the underground magic network pipeline is opened, it is equivalent to giving a clear signal to the witherers from all over Sulama.
The cafeteria is open.
Kael'thas held his chin with one hand and muttered for a moment: "Let's keep this plan for now, wait for news from the Fadore opposition first." ”
As Serana said, opening the underground magic net pipeline is a double-edged sword, and if you are not careful, you will cut yourself.
As a last resort, Kael'thas doesn't want to take that risk, and it's the right thing to do.
Taking advantage of the relative calm in the Sulama region for the time being, Salian took Valera and Stellagosa with the returning team on a trip to Taiano.
Sure enough, this former high-class cemetery of Surama is filled with a large number of high-level elven ghosts.
Unlike the sanity-neutral and controlled spirits of Crow's Castle, and unlike the almost physical cursed ghosts of the Asuna region.
The ghosts that roam the Tenano region are common...... Wraiths.
Somewhere between sobriety and confusion, these spirits retain some of their memories of life, but most of the time they are muddy.
Most of them don't take the initiative to attack anyone passing by, but once someone breaks their established way of "life", these spirits can show their murderous side.
"Dust to dust, dust to dust."
Standing in the center of Taiano, Salian stood in the circle and began to summon spirits with necromancy.
The unjust soul with a lighter obsession was unconsciously attracted by the spell and subconsciously moved closer to the central square.
However, there are also some ghosts with strong resentments who are stimulated by spells and show extreme aggression.
"Huh!"
Valeera's dagger is covered in the power of pitch-black shadows, and any resentful spirit that dares to approach will be torn apart by her twin daggers.
Stellagosa, on the other hand, laid out a magical enchantment more leisurely, ensuring that a small number of fish that slipped through the net could not directly harm Sarren, who was concentrating on casting spells.
The spirits summoned by the spell are sent to the Blighted Realm by Sarean, where Bonsandy is responsible for receiving them and transferring them to the Shadow Realm to be arbitrated.
After "transcending" the last wraith, Valera finally withdrew her weapon.
By this time, the eerie atmosphere that hung over Tyranor had vanished, and any dark aura could no longer be felt.
Instead of leaving immediately, Saljan, who had withdrawn the spell, stood there frowning and thinking.
"It stands to reason that these upper-level elves who have long been buried in the earth should not have resentment, what is the reason why their souls linger after being semi-materialized?"
Under normal circumstances, unless it is a necromancer with the power of death, it is impossible for ordinary people to see ordinary ghosts.
The ghosts will live out of the reach of mortals in the form of ethereal souls, patiently waiting for the messengers of the Shadow Realm to come and answer them.
Taiano's situation is clearly abnormal, the ghosts here have been artificially used to transform them into resentful spirits in anger, and have remained in a semi-physical state that ordinary people can see for thousands of years.
[It can't be Hela's ghost again, right? 】
[It's possible, but these souls are not heroic souls, and even if they have the heart, they won't produce too much, are they really valuable to Hela?] 】
[There is definitely value, it's just a matter of more and less...... But I don't think it's worth Hella's deliberate move. 】
[If it weren't for Hela's handiwork, who would it be?] 】
The issue of the barrage discussion is also a source of confusion for Sarjan, and he doesn't think that Hela will waste her time on the souls of a group of ordinary people.
After carefully searching around Tai Anno, Salian and the others have never been able to find any clues.
However, they did find a clue that they didn't know if it was related.
Taiano is also one of the nodes of the Sulama Demon Net system, but since it has long been occupied by the wraiths, the Withered did not attack and cause trouble.
"Magic Net Node ......"
According to the information provided by Serana, the magic net in the Sulama region is one.
In other words, theoretically, all magic network nodes can be directly connected to the Dark Night Well, the source of magic power in Sulama City.
Previously, the Moon Guardian Fortress had obtained the magic of Elisander's ration in this way, and strictly speaking, the Moon Guardian and Elisunder had not actually met for thousands of years.
'It can't have anything to do with the night well in the city, right?' ’
Standing on the edge of a cliff on a high ground, Tyranor could see the large purple eggshell that enveloped the city of Sulama.
While there are very few people in Azeroth who have studied the power of death, that doesn't mean that no one knows it.
Like Malygos, he doesn't devote a lot of time to necromancy, but he can use his vast knowledge to get around when he needs it.
With the power of time bestowed by the Eye of Almansur, the Children of the Night who have absorbed the magic of the Night Well have gained an alternate immortality.
For a long period of 10,000 years, it was not surprising that someone had been idle and bored studying necromancy.
However, there are definitely not many people who can directly access the Night Well, only a few high-level Night Sunnies, including Elisander.
Saljan: "Keep an eye on it, you can help me remember this first, and maybe I'll find more clues when I go into the city and come into direct contact with the Children of the Night in the future." ”
[Received.] 】
……
A week has passed, and the feedback Kael'thas had hoped for has not been heard from yet.
Heather has been fidgeting lately, and as the only child in the family, her father has always been very fond of her.
Once he learned that Heather was still alive, the old father could not have done nothing.
So far, however, there has been no movement from the Fadore opposition, which is a very unusual situation.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Heather already had a bad feeling in her heart.
I'm afraid something is going on inside Fadore.
After waiting for no avail, Kael'thas called the group again.
With the exception of a handful of conservatives on the advisory panel, the participants, including Sarren, agreed that they could not afford to wait any longer.
"Opening the underground magic network pipeline does take a certain amount of risk, but we are now considered to be a soldier, and with the external magic power supply from the overflow of the Shahr Alan magic network hub, it shouldn't be a problem to hold the intersection."
Sarian boldly suggested, "Your Royal Highness, I am applying to join the Special Operations Squad. ”
"Hista was saved by me, and the plan to work with Fadore was also drawn up by me, and I am obligated to participate in this operation myself."
Kael'thas frowned slightly: "You are still injured, do you want to think about it again?" ”
Saljan smiled disapprovingly, and moved his left shoulder in front of Kael'thas.
"I'm recovering very well, and I've had a few minor injuries that have healed a long time ago."
"There must have been some degree of change within Fadore, and the longer it drags on, the more dangerous the situation for the opposition becomes."
"For the sake of Fadore, who may become an ally in the future, we must act as soon as possible."
Professional Farodin has long given assurances that Fadore's transformation is not irreversible.
As long as the second Akandol matures, he is confident that he will be able to reconcile the chaotic natural and arcane powers in Fadore's body, allowing them to return to their normal elven form.
And according to Farodin's speculation, the Fadore, who was cured by Akandor, would not completely lose his spider form, and they could switch between the two forms freely.
Due to their special habits, the Fadore spider-men are very good at burrowing and weaving webs, and if they can be recruited to join Quel'Thalas's camp, the High Elves will not have to worry about the formation of underground troops in the future.
After weighing the pros and cons, Kael'thas no longer hesitated.
"Well, you'll be in charge of the Special Operations Squad."
"Whoever you want, I have only one request, to sneak into Farnar as soon as possible and get in touch with the Fadore opposition."
