Chapter 770: Intelligence First, Plan Made
Since the disappearance of the master, the five secret houses of Madroxus have been mired in infighting.
The Marquis of the Creation Vault and the Ritual Vault tried to claim the throne as the heir to the Lord, but the other three Chambers were adamantly opposed, believing that the missing Lord would return one day, and that it was not the time to discuss the heir.
The rules of Madroxus are simple: only the victor has the highest say.
Since there was a disagreement between the five secret institutes, a large-scale infighting began.
According to the barrage, this long-lasting infighting lasted until version 9.0 many years later.
When the player-controlled foot man tracked down the Banshee King who betrayed Azeroth to the Shadow Realm, the Marquis of the Withered Secret Courtyard and the Sharp-Eyed Secret Courtyard had already been assassinated, and the Marquis of Soul Chosen did not live long before he was backstabbed by his subordinates, and the three major secret courtyards were all in chaos.
However, the Creation Secret Courtyard and the Ritual Secret Courtyard, which were hiding behind the scenes and plotting the conspiracy, did not please in the end.
With the help of the powerful foot men, the faction that remained loyal to the master took control of the situation, and the unrest in Madroxus finally subsided.
In the process, the Marquis of Creation Gamar was defeated and killed, and the Grand Lich Sindani, the Marquis of the Rite of the Wind Steering Wheel, suddenly changed his stance and threw all the black cauldrons on the head of the Baron Kel'thugad of the Ritual Vault, which was considered to have escaped.
At this point in time, there was a big discrepancy between the barons of the Five Great Secret Houses and the information provided by the barrage, but the Marquis was still the five elders.
In fact, it's normal to think about it, the demigod-level elder is not so easy to find, even if it is Madroxus, who is full of martial virtues, the frequency of changing the marquis will not be very high.
According to the barrage, before the soldier master set off to investigate the truth, he deliberately left a stone tablet in the center of the magma in the Soul Selection Secret Courtyard.
On the surface, this stele was used to test the willpower and endurance of the members of the Soul Chosen Academy, but in fact, the Warlord hid an unfinished blade in this stele, with runes representing the characteristics of the five secret institutes of Madroxus.
If this half-finished blade can be forged, it will become a key that will open the door to the Master's Seat, and discover the warnings that the Master left here before he departs.
The content of the warning is simple, it is to remind those who enter the throne of the Lord to relay his warning to the other Eternals, and unite all the realms of the Shadow Realm to march into the Abyss to defeat the warden Djovar and stop his crazy plans.
Sarean's purpose is to open the Master's Seat to obtain this warning, and he can take the opportunity to add some material to it, and more clearly indicate the reason for the Master's disappearance, as well as his current whereabouts.
According to the message from the War Master, Gristia and the Winter Queen, who were already suspicious of Denatius, would definitely start acting as soon as possible, avoiding the surveillance of Ravenders, and sending someone to secretly infiltrate the Abyss to rescue the War Master trapped in the depths of the Tower of Sin Souls.
…… Salian only hoped that this candidate would not be him, and with his current strength, it was purely self-defeating to rush to the warden's lair.
But that's all for later, and Sarjan is confident that the Winter Queen will make proper arrangements for her and will not let him, a rookie who has not yet transcended the boundaries of mortals, go on such a difficult task.
…… Probably.
……
After carefully reading the information about Madroxus, and after many discussions with the barrage, Sarian roughly sorted out a set of planning processes.
Among the five secret chambers of Madroxus, the only one who wants to make trouble is the abominable king of the Creation Secret Academy, Marquis Gamar.
Marquis Sindani of the Ritual Vault is very good at seeing the wind and steering the rudder, and whichever side is stronger, this unruly great lich will not hesitate to fall to which side.
The Creation Vault is primarily responsible for crafting weapons of war for Madroxus, and is filled with a large number of abominations and various constructs.
In addition, the undead floating city that has not yet appeared in Azeroth was also built by the Secret of Creation, a typical example of which is the floating city of Naxxramas that the Scourge will obtain in the future.
According to the barrage, neither the first Lich King Neozu nor the second Lich King Arthas succumbed to the Warden, so how did the Undead Floating City, a Madroxast property, end up in Azeroth?
The answer is simple...... Kel'thugad.
Kel'thugad is a typical Dalaran mage, and in order to reach the other side of the door of truth, his moral boundaries are very flexible, and everything is only to achieve his "great" ideals.
In the original history, when Kel'thugad discovered that the so-called Lich King was nothing more than a half-man who could not provide much help for the truth he was seeking, he did not hesitate to seize the olive branch thrown by the warden.
After Kel'thugad's defeat at Naxxramas, the Warden sent someone to bypass the arbitrator and secretly lure Kelthugad to the Shadow Realm, and directly arranged for him to be in Madrixas, where he joined the Ritual Vault to secretly fan the flames.
Marquis Sindani's dumping of the pot after the dust has settled is indeed a bit cheap, but her reasons are not entirely untenable.
Kel'thugad, who had inherited all the cauldron in this world, was indeed the culprit of the Ritual Secret Academy's direct involvement in the subversive conspiracy, and there was nothing wrong with this cauldron being on its head.
Anyway, in the end, the footman side failed to catch the definite evidence of Marquis Sindani's involvement in the rebellion.
To put it simply, Sarren's trip to Madroxus has a preset position and identity, and the Sharp Eye Secret Academy, the Withered Secret Academy, and the Soul Chosen Secret Academy, which are still loyal to the military master, are all forces that can be co-opted.
Although the Ritual Secret Courtyard shrank behind the Creation Secret Courtyard and quietly instigated it, at least the group of lichs did not dare to blatantly stand up and take a public stand.
The only one who really fights with Sarren's team is the Secret Courtyard of Creation that is unconsciously used as a gun.
There is no doubt that Denatius and the Warden are behind the Secret of Creation and Rites, and what Saljan needs to do is to expose their true colors and let the Withered and Sharp-Eyed Secret Chamber, who have been reluctant to participate in the infighting, join the siege.
That's right, in the information provided by the Winter Queen, the Sharp Eye Secret Academy and the Zero Secret Academy did not fully engage in infighting.
The one who single-handedly blocked the two secret chambers of ritual and creation was the strongest soul selection chamber in the overall strength of Madroxus.
The Blighting Chambers are made up of crazed chemists who study plague potions, and the Blighting Chamber, which is primarily responsible for logistics, will not be directly involved in the fight unless they have definitive evidence in front of them.
The Sharp Eye Secret Institute, which is in charge of intelligence, only believes in the truth.
According to intelligence records, since the disappearance of the Warrior Master, the main scout force of the Sharp Eye Secret Academy has been searching for the whereabouts of the Warrior Master in various parts of the Shadow Realm, and the number of troops left in the Majestic Continent is relatively small, and they are unable to influence the overall situation.
Nor did Salian intend for the sharp-eyed Assassins to play any role in frontal combat.
Assassins have the usage of assassins, and instead of letting them waste value on a meat grinder-like battlefield, it is better to put them in the most appropriate place.
Valera and the others had long been accustomed to Sarjan's emphasis on intelligence, and there was no surprise that he proposed the Sharp Eye Secret as the first stop on Madroxus's trip.
The five kingdoms of the Shadow Realm are not directly connected to each other, and need to transit through the Eternal City of Olipos, which is located in the center of the Shadow Realm.
With the Winter Queen personally seeing them off, the four of them set out on a journey to Olipos, guided by Lord Moonberry.
After working together to quell the turmoil in the Blazing Blue Fairy, Sarean and Moonberry have become very familiar with each other.
Curious about her three new friends, Valera, Stella Gossa and Onexia, Moonberry leads the way to Olypos and asks questions on the back of the dragon-transformed Sarjan.
This quirky little guy made the three of them unconsciously think of Tina Gossa who also likes to play tricks.
The Shadow Realm is not a good place to travel, even if Salam is active in the Shadow Realm, he needs to be careful, and bringing Tina, who is not strong enough, can only be used as a drag oil bottle, it is better to let her continue to stay in Quel'Thalas to help take care of the family.
The third girl has long been accustomed to getting along with Tina, and she is not unfamiliar with the same type of moonberry, and the four of them quickly chatted under the initiative of the self-cooked goblin.
Valera's question made Sarren laugh and cry, and Vinegar Jar first asked Moonberry if Sarren was messing with flowers in the Shadow Realm.
Accompanied by laughter, Salian entered the spatial passage to Olipos.
The strange statue in the passage made the four people behind Salian temporarily stop talking, and the three girls who came to the Shadow Realm for the first time were quite amazed to observe the magnificent scenery around them.
Stella Gossa touched her chin with interest: "Is this the spatial passage connecting different countries?" It's kind of like the wormhole that Salian mentioned before. ”
It didn't take long for Saljan, who was flying with all his might, to rush out of the other side of the passage, revealing a huge city floating in the sky before the eyes of several people.
"We're here~"
As a native of the Shadow Realm, Moonberry proudly pointed to the magnificent city in the sky that was like a spectacle in the distance and said, "This is the center of the Shadow Realm, the Eternal City of Olipos. ”
