Chapter 1649: An Unexpected Visit from the Saint of Courage
The promotion from mortal to demigod is a big hurdle, and many celestial talents, including Malfurion, have been blocked from this door until they have obtained the breakthrough insights shared by Sarjan.
From the perspective of the data-based template, this seems to be nothing more than an ascension from level 60 to 61, but in fact it represents a leap in the essence of life.
Salian didn't mean to look down on mortals, after all, he himself came step by step as a mortal.
But objectively speaking, mortal life is indeed fragile.
Even the elves with a long lifespan simply live a long life, and there is no qualitative improvement in the nature of life compared with the short-lived species.
Once you step into the realm of demigods, your physical fitness will first change dramatically.
In the jargon used by Inas, the demigod's muscle and bone density will be greatly improved, and the cell activity will not be the same as before the breakthrough.
Having undergone such a huge change from the inside out, anyone who has just broken through to become a demigod will inevitably have a period of adaptation, and the specific length of time will vary from person to person.
Gianna's retreat is not just adapting to the changes in physical fitness, the demigod's body also has a far more powerful energy utilization and storage rate than mortals.
If before breaking through that threshold, Gianna's total magic power could only fill a teacup, and after breaking through, she could easily break an entire teapot.
At the same time, the flow of magic in her body and the speed of recovery will also increase significantly, as if she has changed from a faucet a few centimeters in diameter to a large spout that can drench people into soup chickens.
In addition, Gianna also needs to go through retreat to further appreciate the power she has just acquired, which Sarren, Valeera, and Stella Goussa have all experienced.
Just as the family happily sensed that Gianna's magical aura was gradually letting go, Sarren's originally smiling expression suddenly paused.
Not only Sarren, but also Tina Gossa who was sleeping in his arms at this moment, Valeera, Onexia, and Stella Gossa also changed their expressions to varying degrees.
Valilla frowned slightly and asked, "Sarjan, this power fluctuation ......?"
"Hmm."
Salaen carefully handed over Tiny Tina in his arms to Stella Gossa, got up and walked to the window of the Mage's Tower to look beyond the barrier of Dalaran.
"It's supposed to be a messenger from the Shadow Realm, but why is this happening? Could it be that something is happening in the Shadow Realm again? β
After all, Dalaran bears the name of the Magic Kingdom, and although the strength of the barrier in this floating city is far from comparable to that of Bandinorel with the backing of the Sunwell, it can at least delay some time when foreign enemies attack.
The temporarily unknown Shadow Realm envoy was very interested in not breaking through the barrier, and politely stayed outside the barrier to release the unique mental energy aura of the Shadow Realm.
"You ...... this"
Just as Sarren and the others were puzzled and thinking about the envoy's intentions, Gianna, who had just come out of the meditation of her own mage tower, looked confused.
"Could it be that something went wrong with my breakthrough? Why are you all so serious? β
Saljan, who came back to his senses, was the first to smile and shook his head: "That's not the case, the specific situation is a long story." β
"Anyway, congratulations on your successful breakthrough, and the details of your power will be discussed later, let's go outside the barrier to greet the guests first."
"Guest?"
Gianna was confused and put the bangs hanging in front of her eyes behind her ears: "...... I don't know what you're playing, but I'll take a trip with you. β
The fluctuation frequency of the psychic power in the shadow realm is very special, and it is difficult for people who do not understand psychic energy to sense it.
For example, the Acting Speaker of the Council, Esas Sunsnatcher, who was the interim Governor of Dalaran's affairs, was ignorant of the Shadow Realm visitors who were close to him, and was still diligently working on the mountains of papers on his desk.
In the same way, Gianna didn't perceive anything unusual.
But since Sarian has said so, Gianna, who has known his character since childhood, certainly doesn't think that Sarian is talking about it.
As one of the members of the Senator Kenrito, Gianna is qualified to greet the distinguished guests on behalf of Dalaran while Speaker Ronin is away.
Taking advantage of her privileges as a councilor, Gianna teleported several people present to the outer layer of the Dalaran Barrier with a single thought.
As Sarian had said, at this moment, a blue-skinned woman with huge snow-white wings was suspended outside the eastern side of Dalaran's barrier.
Gianna hadn't been to the Shadow Realm before, she was just curious about the identity of the distinguished guest, but Sarren recognized the origin of the Grien at a glance.
"Courage Saint Sandria, what important matter requires you to come to Azeroth to deliver the message in person?"
Sandria is one of the five great saints who rose to the fort and the right-hand man of the eldest daughter, Gristia.
Theoretically, all Grien who have been promoted to the fortress have the obligation and power to travel to the material world to receive souls and deliver messages, but in general, saint-level characters rarely leave the Shadow Realm on their own initiative.
"Guys, it's been a long time."
Sandria is not a person who likes to talk nonsense, she politely nodded to the acquaintances led by Sarren, and said her intentions straight to the point.
"Not long ago, Ravendez was suddenly attacked by a foreign enemy."
"Under the impromptu response of Emperor Renasol, only one enemy who reached the demigod level fled with serious injuries, and the other attackers were successfully dealt with, but their identities deserve attention."
Sarjan frowned and asked, "Attacker...... Could it be that he is the follower of Denatius? β
"Yes and no."
Sandria continued with a serious expression: "You must have heard of the identity of the attacker, it is the traitor Denatius who created the evil race many years ago - Nasrezm. β
"Hiss~"
Sarren tugged at the corners of his mouth with some sourness: "I see...... I kind of understand what's going on. β
After the end of the great battle between Ravenders and the Legion of Light, under pressure from the other Eternals, Denatius had to banish all the Nasrezm who had caused great trouble from the Shadow Realm.
However, this is actually just a scene that Denasius has planned for a long time, and Nasrezm who leaves the Shadow Realm is the real fish into the sea.
They scattered their people and infiltrated various organizations in the universe, and continued to gather intelligence for Denatius from all corners of the universe.
Denatius had recently been forced to abandon his lair and flee into the Abyss, severing regular contact with the Nasrezms.
Nasrezm, who had not received a response for a long time, originally wanted to send someone to infiltrate Ravenders to find out, but unexpectedly, he happened to hit the muzzle of the gun.
When the newly enthroned Emperor Renasol intended to use his military exploits to secure his position, Nasrezm quietly returned to Ravenders, and Renasol was personally leading an army to clear the remnants of Denasius.
The former rebel army, now the regular army of Ravenders, who had just won the battle, was in a period of excitement waiting for a reward for meritorious deeds.
Although Nasrezm's spies did their best to hide their whereabouts, they were caught by the stoneborns who patrolled the world 24 hours a day without sleep.
In fact, this can be regarded as a professional counterpart.
As the veteran of Vinciel, who is second only to Renasor in seniority, the Stonesmith also participated in the fierce battle between Ravenders and the Legion of Light, and she knows better than anyone the racial identity of Nasrezm, who caused the strife.
It was precisely because of this war that caused great damage to Ravenders that the Stonesmith, who was personally transformed into Winsil by Denasius, parted ways with him due to a disagreement with his philosophy.
Out of precautionary consideration, the Stonesmith has added a special function to the Stoneborns he has made in the futureβto identify the real body.
To put it bluntly, this ability is specifically aimed at Nasrezm, who is good at infiltrating and infiltrating.
No matter what form Nasrezm transforms into, as long as the Stoneborn turns on the reconnaissance mode, they will be able to see through their disguises.
After many years of discovering Nasrezm's traces, Renasol immediately realized that the problem was that his "beloved" father should have been in contact with these exiles.
Nasrezm, who had escaped with a serious injury, had gathered enough information before his identity was revealed, and he would surely tell the rest of his compatriots about the upheaval in Ravenders.
Sarian asked Sandria thoughtfully, "So, Renasol, they are worried that Nasrezm will be angry and take revenge on me, the mastermind behind the scenes?" β
"Exactly." Sandria solemnly reminded, "According to Emperor Reinasol's guess, the group of vengeful exiles should soon take action...... Even, maybe you've already started to act, and he wants you to be ready to deal with it as soon as possible. β
