Although he would love to stay and witness the reunion of his uncle and nephew after many years, Sarean has other things to do at the moment, so he can only leave Onyxia and Tinagossa to have fun and wait for their follow-up.

With Khadgar's return, plans to explore Karazhan that have been put on hold for years are finally on the agenda.

Medivan has been parasitized by the spirit of Sargeras since birth, and throughout his upbringing, he has endured the temptation of the Demon King to be everywhere.

Even Medivin himself couldn't tell which of his actions were of his own will and which of which things were induced by Sargeras.

Years ago, Medivan had come across a gang of profiteers selling counterfeit artifacts and alchemical medicines, who had no shame in swindling money from innocent people.

When the hapless bastards tried to sell their goods to Medivan, the Astral Mages saw through their tricks at a glance and cast a spell to bind them to their own minions as punishment.

Since then, this group of counterfeit merchants has become the notorious Black Knights of Karazan, who will do whatever it takes to collect various artifacts for Medivan to bring back to Karazan.

To Medivan's surprise, there was actually an artifact hidden in the goods of this group of counterfeit merchants.

More precisely, it is a magic weapon - the magic sword apocalypse.

Legend has it that Apocalypse and Frostmourn were two sister swords forged by the Nasrezm clan, but this is not the case.

Frost's sorrow was born from a carver imprisoned by the Warden...... That is, the hand of the master.

The Warden and Denatius, who had begun to plan for the future in advance, gave the soul-capturing magic sword to Nasrezm and asked them to take it to the material world to find a suitable master.

It is said that it is the master, but in fact, the person who holds the sorrow of Frost is just a pawn of the warden.

Unlike the Apocalypse, this magic sword full of evil power was indeed led by Nasrezm, and several demon races who are good at forging have participated in it.

The power of the Apocalypse is so dangerous that generations of Nasrezm have cast it into multiple planets across the universe to spread plagues and wars among its bearers.

Legend has it that the Apocalypse can bewitch the mind of the bearer, which is in the same vein as the Frost's Grief.

Those who are not strong enough will will be manipulated by the magic sword to manipulate their souls, which will greatly magnify the dark side of their hearts, and thus quickly degenerate.

The last Nasrezm to hold the Apocalypse was named Kasanatir.

That's right, it's the unlucky guy who was later sealed into his body by Merry Winterwind, and was killed by Sarian and others during the Battle of Alterac a few years ago, and even his soul was annihilated.

Although Casanatyr was long dead, he had caused a lot of harm to Azeroth with the Apocalypse in his hand.

Thanks to the efforts of the original Tirisfa Guardian Alodi, Casanatire was finally defeated.

Through many previous encounters with demons, Merry had known that these terrifying creatures could be resurrected after death.

In order to prevent Casanatyr from escaping back into the Twisted Void, Merry cast a spell to seal him in his body, and has lived with the Dreadlord ever since.

After the defeat of Casanatyr, the magic sword Apocalypse he brought into Azeroth was also sealed and safeguarded by the Council of Tirisfar.

Years later, the rebellious Guardian Egwene fled, and in order to capture Egwene, the Council of Tirispha formed a special organization called the Tyrius Secret Order.

Ordinary mages could no match for Egwene, who wielded the power of a Guardian, and for this reason, the Council unsealed the artifacts they had kept for many years and granted them to the most loyal and gifted members of the Mystical Order.

The one who received the magic sword apocalypse was a genius mage named Les Shahr.

Although the Apocalypse gave him unimaginable power, Les Shar's mind was gradually eroded by the magic sword.

After a fierce battle with Egwen, Apocalypse fell from the hands of the defeated Lace Shahr, and the genius mage who was controlled by the magic sword only woke up from a dream.

He left the apocalypse in fear and fled the scene, and Egwen had no choice but to stay and help him wipe his ass and reseal the apocalypse.

Time goes by, time passes.

I don't know if it was fate or the apocalypse, which gradually broke free from the seal, intentionally, the magic sword was later returned to the hands of Lace Shar's son, Eredin.

Apocalypse is stored in the catacombs of Karazhan along with the other artifacts found by the Black Knights.

Even though Medivan was long dead, the Black Knight, who was affected by his spells, still couldn't escape the shackles of his mission, and as always, he traveled all over the world in search of artifacts.

Even Khadgar, Karazhan's rightful heir, is unsure of how many artifacts the Black Knights have recovered, but at least one thing is certain, the Apocalypse must be kept in Karazan's catacombs.

With Khadgar returning to Azeroth, it was only a matter of time before Karazhan restarted.

With Karazhan reopening, the Black Knights, who are still wreaking havoc in the spirit of Medivan, have become a priority issue.

After bidding farewell to his brothers from the expeditionary force, who were still waiting to return home at Fort Watch, Khadgar took the lead on the "homecoming" journey accompanied by Sarjan.

Although under Ronin's sincere invitation, Khadgar's antipathy towards Dalaran has loosened somewhat.

But out of an abundance of caution, he also wanted to take another look at the new Kenrito Council to see if Ronin was just talking pretty and like Antonidas in his bones, he only wanted to steal Medivan's legacy.

Long before the Dark Gate closed, Saljan and Khadgar had made a pact to explore Karazan and set the Tower of the Guardians right.

Reunited after eight years, Sarean gladly accepted Khadgar's invitation again.

But before that, he first learned about Lordaeron's latest movements from Valilla and Gianna, who were far away at Barov Castle.

After confirming that the situation had not yet developed to the point where it could not be controlled, Sarena Gossa was entrusted with sending a teleportation back to Quel'Thalas, informing Kael'thas and the cabinet of his itinerary, and sending back the war reports that had ended.

After bidding farewell to Onexia and Tinagosa, who had stayed behind to eat melons and watch the play, Salian transformed into a griffin and flew the upwind trail northwest of Khadgar.

Madison ...... Or rather, when Sargeras's split soul was annihilated, a violent tide of energy erupted around Karazhin.

The entire Headwind Trail was destroyed by this strange force mixed with arcane and evil powers, and even affected the twilight forest next door.

The Twilight Forest, which was once part of the Elwyn Forest, was once bathed in sunlight.

Due to the death of Medivan, the forest can no longer see a ray of sunlight, and the woodland is shrouded in strange energy all year round, hence the name of the Twilight Forest.

In the past, Karazan was the most favored high-end social place for the nobles of the Stormwind Kingdom, and even a rather prosperous town was built around Karazan.

But it all vanished with Medivan's fall and death.

To this day, the souls of the innocent killed by the aftermath of the energy tide still linger in and out of Karazhin.

As they fly over the upwind trail, Salian and Khadgar can see the ghosts roaming the ruined town from above.

"Hey~ It's still the same here as it was back then."

Seeing this familiar scene, Khadgar sighed with emotion and nostalgia.

"Sarean, do you have a way to give them rest?"

Khadgar's expression was a little complicated when he looked down: "These poor people have suffered for years because of Medivan's negligence, and this should not be their fate. ”

"As Medivan's heir, I hope to set them free."

"But you can."

Landing in front of the gates of Karazhan, still firmly protected by spells, Salian turned back into his human form, turning his head to look at the ghosts behind him who were still walking back and forth.

"However, it takes too much time to overtake them one by one, and according to my preliminary perception, there are at least hundreds of souls inside and outside this town."

"Pretty much."

When Kad joined Karazhan to study, he inevitably interacted with the people around Karazhan.

As an apprentice to the Stormwind Kingdom's Warwind Trail Lord, Khadgar often manages the surrounding villages and towns on behalf of the unintentional Medivan, and he knows the population of the satellite town closest to Karazan.

"The town should have a permanent population of more than 1,200 people, and given the natural wear and tear over the years, some of them have disappeared, and only a few hundred people remain."

"Hmmm......"

Saray nodded thoughtfully: "Leave it to me to solve it, I need to set up a large magic circle around the town." ”

"While I'm busy, you first find a way to break the seal on the Karazan Catacombs and recover the artifact that the Black Knights brought back."

"Okay, let's split up."

"Khadgar."

Saljan stopped Kagad, who was about to turn away, and solemnly reminded him: "Keep an eye on it, the Black Knight may come back at any time." ”

"Once you, a mage, are approached by multiple black knights, it won't be so easy to get rid of."
