Chapter 1080: Khadgar: WTF?!
Moros is an old acquaintance brought from his own territory by Medivan's father, Neras Elam, a court mage of the Stormwind Kingdom.
Moros witnessed the rise of Karazan, the birth and growth of Medivan, and the whole process of Medivan's fall step by step.
Out of loyalty, Moros could not interfere with the decision of the Guardian Medivan, but long before the battle between the two generations of Guardians began, the shrewd Moros vaguely predicted the final outcome of the increasingly impetuous Medivan.
And, of course, his own ending.
However, it is one thing to be able to predict what the future holds, and quite another to have the ability to make a difference.
Although Moros expects the old master (Egwene) to use his personality correction fist to wake up Medivan, who has gone down the wrong path, he is also mentally prepared for Egwen's defeat in advance.
"Now it seems that in the mother-son battle back then, the final winner should be the master, right?"
"yes." Khadgar sighed with emotion: "It was precisely because of that Guardian War that shook the south of the entire continent that Lothar and I were truly determined of Medivan's fall. ”
"I'm sorry, Moros."
Khadgar bowed his head guiltily and said to Moros, "Medivan was killed by me and Ser Lothar with my own hands, if you ......"
Moros smiled and patted Khadgar's shoulder and comforted, "You think I'm going to be furious about it?" No, no, no, I would like to thank you and Anduin for freeing him from an inescapable fate. ”
"I know my master well, and believe me, astral mages don't die that easily."
"Maybe he'll be hiding somewhere in the world in his soul form, ready to come back to see our jokes again."
"Raise your head and puff out your chest with pride! The new owner of the Guardian Takarazan is Archmage Khadgar. ”
Moros looked solemn and helped Khadgar tidy up the robes that were slightly scattered after the battle: "Since fate has not let me return to the heavens, as Karazhan's butler, I will continue to assist Karazhan's master to take care of this glorious tower." ”
"Destiny...... ? ”
Khadgar himself didn't believe in the mystical claims of fate, or rather...... Knowledgeable mages who aspire to exhaust all the truth of the world usually do not believe in fate.
The so-called fate seems to the mages to be nothing more than a seemingly predetermined future cobbled together by a series of information disturbances, and Sarayan has repeatedly emphasized that the future is by no means immutable.
Khadgar's emotional intelligence was not catastrophic at all, and he didn't say it in front of Moros.
Recognized by Moros, the butler who assisted the two generations of Guardians of Karazan, Khadgar, who had always been worried about his "improper position", finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As Sarjan had expected, as Karazhan's butler, Moros was blessed with some sort of similar rule when Karazan was affected by Madisin's death.
As long as the undead creatures are active in Karazan, they will be bound by the will of the old butler to a certain extent.
With a thought from Moros, the ghosts who had been banging on the other side of the ice wall a second ago suddenly fell silent.
Given that Karazhan has not yet been officially recovered, there will be a long time to come.
After some discussion with Moros, the old butler agreed to return the artifact in Karazan's custody to its original owner and return it to the rebuilt Council of Tirisfa.
Most of the artifacts that could be recorded by Egwene were originally kept by the Tyrisfa Council, and were only assigned to the members of the Tyriss Secret Law Society for temporary use in order to capture Egwen.
As the user of the artifact, Sareen has the most say in it.
Artifacts are really not something that anyone can easily control, especially self-aware artifacts like Apocalypse and Elunis, and a user who can't do it will control them in turn.
In that large-scale operation to hunt down Egwen, Les Shahr's situation was not unique, and a large number of artifacts were lost one after another.
Until Medivan personally destroyed the Council of Tirisfa, many artifacts were still missing, and they were later recovered one by one by the Black Knights led by Eredin and kept in the catacombs of Karazhan.
"Cards!"
With Moros' assurance, Khadgar dispersed the ice wall, revealing the dazed-looking aristocratic ghosts on the stairs.
"Moros? Atumen? What the hell is going on? We...... Already dead? ”
It was Duke Crispin who had just chased him from the restaurant.
With the awakening of Moros, the undead of Karazan, the spirits of the Magi Medivan gradually regained their senses.
After learning that he had actually died a long time ago, a considerable number of the noble souls of the original Storm Kingdom could not accept the reality, and the scene was full of crying.
Looking at the various aspects of life performed by these familiar guests, Moros sighed helplessly and looked at Sarren with a pleading look.
"Lord Deep Shadow, look ......"
Salian smiled and nodded, "If you don't want to stay in the sad soul of Azeroth, I will send them to the Shadow Realm, the destination of all the dead, to start a new life." ”
It's been 13 years since the Karazan mutation, the kingdoms of Stormwind have all died and been rebuilt, and the country that these nobles are familiar with is long gone.
Many of the descendants of the nobility died in the First Orc War, and they no longer have any nostalgia for the strange Azeroth.
For those who wanted to go to the land of the dead to start a new life on a voluntary basis, Salian took all of them as ordered, using the Realm of Decay as a transit to transport them all to the eternal city of Olipos to be judged by the arbitrators.
Those who wish to remain in Karazan are managed by Moros, including the six elite ghosts who had fought Salian before.
With all the ghosts of Karazan coming to their senses in the banquet hall on the second floor to learn about the situation, most of the area on the 1st to 4th floors was restored.
Khadgar will then take these ghosts to reclaim the remaining area of the first four floors occupied by the automatic defense system such as the Curator and the Holy Maiden.
After dealing with the internal problems, Khadgar will consider continuing to move upwards and fight the demons for control of the upper echelons of Karazhan.
However, this is not relevant to Saljan for the time being, he has made an agreement with Khadgar to visit Karazan again when it is necessary to clear the Void Dragons and purify the Night Demons, which is the responsibility of Sarjan as a member of the Dragons.
However, considering that both the Void Dragon and the Night Demon are located in the upper levels of Karazan, even the demons are reluctant to provoke them, and God knows when Khadgar will be able to advance into the area.
"You'd better think about it."
Before being teleported away by Khadgar using the amplification of the spatial runestone, Sarian persuaded Khadgar in a serious voice: "I am also an old acquaintance with Ronin, at least in my understanding, Ronin is not a person who blindly covets Karazan's wealth. ”
The wealth here is not gold, silver and jewelry, but a large number of precious books left behind by two generations of guardians, Egwene and Medivan, and the most priceless thing that mages care about - knowledge.
As the rightful heir of Karazhan, Moros made it clear that Khadgar had the right to dispose of all the wealth within Karazhan.
However, in his capacity as Karazhan's butler, he gave personal advice, even if he wanted to share knowledge with Dalaran, it was best to only let them copy the secretary and keep the original in Karazan.
Using this as a bargaining chip, Khadgar can use the call of Speaker Ronin to hire a large number of Dalaran mages who are happy to hunt for help clear Karazhan's remaining enemies.
Khadgar said with some distress: "I am willing to believe Ronin too, but ...... As you know, Dalaran is not alone in Ronin's decision, and those parliamentarians also have their own thoughts. ”
Sarjan patted Khadgar on the shoulder in understanding: "This is true, in short, you can decide for yourself, if necessary, the Royal Arcane Society of Quel'Salas is also willing to help you." ”
"Oh, yes."
Just before the teleportation mage was completed, Sarjan, who had already entered the spatial passage with most of his body, gave Khadgar a playful smile.
"I almost forgot to say it."
"As Moros half-jokingly mentioned earlier, Medivan is still alive, and he, along with Egwen, and Merry Winterwind are all in the Guardian Temple, the headquarters of the Council of Tirisfa, in Dalaran."
“…… Ha?! ”
Suddenly hearing this shocking secret, Khadgar's exclamation, which was a little unable to turn his brain, unconsciously changed his tone.
"Why didn't you ...... early for such an important matter? Feed! Stop! ”
By the time Khadgar came to his senses and jumped straight to his feet, Sarean had long since disappeared from where he was.
"Hmm~~"
Before leaving, he teased Khadgar with a wicked taste, and Saljan who came out of the spatial passage felt refreshed.
"It's quite accurate."
As soon as Salian looked up, he saw the familiar floating city of Dalaran, where mages were constantly in and out of a hurry through the teleportation array that connected the ground to Dalaran.
"Huh?"
Just as the treasure-carrying Salian was about to blend in with the crowd and enter Dalaran in a low-key manner, one of the High Elf mages in charge of guarding the teleportation array recognized him.
"Duke of Deep Shadow?! How do you ...... No, welcome to Dalaran! ”
Thinking of a certain bombshell news from China not long ago, the mage, who almost blurted out an inquiry, immediately restrained his expression, and bowed respectfully to Sallian with an attitude that did not conform to the natural arrogant nature of the High Elves.
Salian was stunned for a moment, then he looked stunned and waved his hand at the High Elf with a wry smile.
"Thank you, I have something to do with the Guardian Sanctuary and discuss with the Council of Tirisfa, so I don't need to alarm Kenrito for the time being...... Forget it, it doesn't hurt to let them know. ”
'Mom, are you going too far?' Look at the boy who scares ......
