Captain Jack of Azeroth

Chapter 153 The Devil’s Truth
"The great war ten thousand years ago almost destroyed this world. Eldre'Thalas was lucky to survive the catastrophe. It was located behind the battle line, and the powerful demigod Agamaggan blocked the demon's attack."

"Unfortunately, the high-borne elves who survived the war fell after the war. The explosion of the Well of Eternity caused the arcane energy of this world to become thinner. The high-borne elves began to become irritable due to the lack of arcane energy, and finally some elven wizards even went crazy."

"In order to solve this problem, Torsedrin began to study the scriptures with the mages. They tried various methods, but all failed. Finally, they had to use the last method, which was to summon the devil."

"Fortunately they succeeded, but unfortunately they had to rely on absorbing energy from the demons to stay sane. The demons' energy changed their personalities, making them lean towards chaos."

"At the beginning, Tosedrin was able to remain fair and let all the elves absorb the demon's energy. But as the demons became weaker, the energy they could absorb gradually decreased and could no longer supply all the elves. At this time, the disadvantages of absorbing demon energy became apparent. Tosedrin secretly instigated the relationship between the elves, causing a civil war and killing a group of elves."

"But this cannot completely solve the problem. The energy that demons can provide is still decreasing. So Tosedrin had to ask his loyal servant, Mayor Kaledis, to continuously eliminate the elves of other factions. Mayor Kaledis completed this task perfectly, and voluntarily sacrificed his life as the demon energy continued to decrease."

"Unfortunately, despite killing most of the elves in the city, the demon's energy is gradually decreasing. Everything Tosedrin did can only delay his death, but it cannot solve his inevitable death."

"Everything he did was in vain..."

After Tedis Twisted Wood finished speaking, a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

"Too many elves died, and there were no longer enough to defend Eldre'Thalas. Torsedrin gave orders to abandon the eastern and northern districts and only defend the western district. In order to replenish the troops, he cast a spell to trap the souls of the elves that should have returned to nature. Then he lured the Twistedwood Clan here, infused us with demonic energy, and made us corrupted, helping him guard the gate."

"Now, as long as you can pass through the area guarded by Mayor Kaledis, you can enter the library directly. The elven wizards in the library will not be an obstacle for you. They have long been dissatisfied with Tosedrin's brutal rule, but they just don't have the power to overthrow Tosedrin!"

"At the end of the library, in Tosedrin's palace, the demon Imortar is imprisoned there."

"Wish ya'll good luck……"

Jack looked at Garona, who nodded, "According to my investigation, there is nothing wrong with what the tree man said. But the elves and ghosts ahead are not so easy to deal with."

"They are made up of two groups. One group is led by a female elf. These elf ghosts are extremely crazy and should have been killed. The other group is led by a male elf, who should be Mayor Kaledis. They are relatively peaceful and should have given up their lives voluntarily. These two groups of elf ghosts attack each other every day. After death, they will be resurrected the next day and continue to attack each other."

Jack fell into deep thought. He knew a lot about elven ghosts. After all, Nathalas was a precedent. There were thousands of elven ghosts, and their behavior patterns could still be used as a reference.

In addition, Jack had used Hela's lantern before, so he had some understanding of souls. However, the elven ghosts of Eldre'Thalas were obviously not like any ghosts he had seen before. They were still conscious, but they were still like being cursed, doing the same thing over and over again every day.

This is like the unconscious ghosts in Nar'thalas and the Kvaldir in the battlefield of Hades.

Just when he was in a dilemma, the Ancient Tree of Knowledge suddenly said, "Leave those elf souls to us."

Everyone couldn't help but look over, and Elon Buck explained: "There are too many dead souls in the forest, so we all have some spells to appease the dead souls."

“Let’s talk as we walk!” said the Ancient Tree of Knowledge, leading everyone forward.

Soon, everyone walked through the courtyard and came to a staircase. After going up the stairs, there was a huge platform where the elves and ghosts were entrenched.

When they saw outsiders coming in, the ghosts immediately rushed over. Although they hated the outsiders, they hated the living people even more.

However, before they could get close, the Ancient Tree of Knowledge cast a spell, summoning its roots to bind them all up. Then, he once again concentrated his magic, and the natural energy washed over the ghosts' souls, gradually quieting them down.

After a long while, they started to move. However, they did not attack again, but looked around in confusion, "Is this... Eldre'Thalas?"

"Tosedrin..."

The confused ghosts had countless doubts and hatreds, and for a moment they didn't know what to do.

The tree people walked over and continued to comfort these souls.

The Ancient Tree of Knowledge said: "Every soul that has just been purified needs to be comforted, otherwise, they will be blinded by hatred again and return to their previous state. Therefore, after entering the library, you can only rely on yourselves."

Jack looked at the soul on the platform and nodded, "No problem."

The tree people immediately stepped forward, caught the ghost that was rushing over, purified it, and then calmed it down.

Just then, a female elf rushed over with an undead bear.

“Irina…”

The ghosts recognized the identity of the elf, but they could not stop her actions. However, like other ghosts, she was trapped and purified by the ancient tree of knowledge before she could get close.

"She is the female elf!" Garona said quickly.

Jack nodded and looked at the female elf with some curiosity. If he guessed correctly, she was a hunter. This was the first pure hunter Jack had met. The previous hunters did not bring pets.

Although the bear had died long ago, it still loyally obeyed Irina's orders. Jack was a little envious and had the urge to catch a pet.

But looking at the black panther under my feet, the idea of ​​a pet doesn't seem so appealing anymore.

Whose pet can turn into a cute elf girl?
Elon Buck comforted Irina, and Irina gradually accepted the reality.

"Irina Darkwood, thank you for your help."

"I've heard of you!" Shandris suddenly said, "You are Torsedrin's most capable hunter."

"That's right!" Irina said hatefully, "Because I didn't want to execute my companions, Tosedrin killed me!"

"Where is he? I'm going to kill him myself!"
