Light's Dawn of Azeroth

Chapter 186 9. The powerful Miss Blue Dragon will enforce justice today!

"If I had a choice, I wouldn't betray my queen, but Zin-Azshari was already in chaos before the War of the Ancients. The queen's court was filled with the foul demonic atmosphere, and some demons even openly served as the queen's close ministers.

When I saw the demon named 'Haka' being named 'Court Jester' by the Queen, I realized that chaos was about to break out in the empire.

As a magical prince loyal to the interests of my race, I cannot turn a blind eye."

On a giant, gracefully floating magic carpet, the Archlich Farondis described the dark times of his life in a melancholy tone. As Diakum and Chromie listened attentively and curiously, this complex spellcaster sighed and said:

"When I heard from my good friend Dath'Remar Sunstrider that our beloved queen had been bewitched by demons to connect our tribe's treasure, the Well of Eternity, to the Fel Portal in an attempt to summon the legendary Lord of Demons, I realized that the queen had gone to an irreversible extreme.

So, with the cooperation of my close friend Lady Blue Moon, I tried to use the ancient treasure Tidestone to stop the Queen's folly.

But someone informed!

I still do not know who the informer was within my court, but when the queen appeared in Nar'thalas with terrible wrath, I knew disaster was imminent.

That night, I, my city, and my people should have died under the queen's wrath, but the appearance of Lord Cenarius, the Lord of the Forest, prevented things from sliding into a desperate tragedy. The Lord of the Forest fought against Queen Azshara in order to rescue us, and was seriously injured.

But it gave us time to unleash the power of the Tidestone and survive."

The Great Lich shook his head and said:
"However, it was later proven that the rescue was also a cunning trap set by the devil!
The King of the Forest was captured by Azshara and taken to Zin-Azshari, where he was to be executed as a traitor. Later, when the anti-magic coalition led by Lord Kurtalos Ravencrest, the 'Black Crow King', besieged the Well of Eternity, I witnessed with my own eyes the ascension and fall of Lord Cenarius.

The great demon called 'Shaper' deliberately leaked the news, luring the King of the Forest to face Azshara's brutality.

Although this objectively accelerated the formation of the anti-magic coalition, the price was that the King of the Forest was unable to resist the corrosion of the fel energy in his weakness. Until the end, when the Well of Eternity exploded, he voluntarily embraced the fel energy in order to save the innocent people in Zin-Azshari.

My people and I survived, but the world lost its guardians forever."

"I see. I've always felt there must be some hidden reason behind Cenarius's fall. If his fall saved two great Highborne cities that were destined for destruction, then such a sacrifice is truly noble."

Diakum nodded.

He told Farondis of his two meetings with Cenarius on Draenor, and Farondis grew increasingly sad, saying:
"Lord Cenarius's twisted mind has transformed his original passion and protection into a tyrannical desire for destruction. Now wielding a dangerous weapon like the 'Demon Plague,' he will certainly not allow the world to enjoy peace.

Alas, troubled times are coming again, the second 'War of the Ancients', but this time the world is far from being as powerful as it was ten thousand years ago."

"It's always so interesting to listen to you, the eyewitnesses of major events, recount the historical details."

Chromie, pretending to be a bard, frantically recorded the details. She blinked her big eyes and asked again:
"What about Azshara? In your timeline, ahem, I mean, in the history you experienced, Azshara's final choice was surprising. I heard that she eventually repented?"

"Repent? No, not at all."

Farondis corrected:
"Queen Azshara is a proud ruler who never considers her decisions to be mistakes.

Strictly speaking, when the Well of Eternity exploded, the queen chose to fight against both the desolate force that tore the world apart and the terrifying moon god of war, Nightsworn Tyrande, because she understood her responsibilities.

I don't know the specific circumstances very well, but I can be sure that at the moment the Well of Eternity was shattered by the Dragon Soul, the queen fell into the well, and I saw with my own eyes that she was enveloped by some kind of brilliant light.

That was a force powerful enough to rival the Dark Titan on the other side of the portal.

Some people say that is the world will of Azeroth!

In short, when the Queen flew out of the broken Well of Eternity covered in rosy light, her already exaggerated power was greatly enhanced, so that she could resist the double blow of the world's tearing and the Moonlight God of War.

In fact, as far as I know, the reason why Nightsworn Tyrande was able to survive after enduring the wrath of the Moon Goddess was thanks to the Queen's 'seal' at the last moment."

"seal?"

Even Aegwynn became curious now, and she asked:
"I once traveled to Mount Hyjal, the sacred mountain of the Kaldorei Moon Kingdom. In the Moon Temple, I felt a power that burned my mind. I guess that should be the legendary Nightsworn?"

"Yes, after the Raven King and the Emerald Heart reorganized the Kaldorei kingdom, I served as a guard for the Nightsworn for a period of time before the Kaldorei's religious teachings ultimately led us to part ways with them."

Farondis revealed some of the elves' secrets, saying:

"The wrath of the moon goddess Elune strengthened the devout Tyrande to an inhuman degree. A powerful demigod could be slain by her with a single swing of her sword. The reason the anti-demon coalition was able to break into the Well of Eternity, guarded by the great demons, was because the Nightsworn became our undefeated vanguard!

She doesn't look like any living creature at all, but rather like the incarnation of the Moon Goddess's divine power. Mortals simply cannot withstand that kind of cosmic power. I think she has surpassed the concept of "demigod" and turned into some kind of unstable "secondary god".

Nightsworn should have perished in the explosion of the Well of Eternity, but a power greater than herself placed a power seal upon her.

This is what kept her in stable imprisonment for ten thousand years.

It's hard to say whether it was the power seal given to her by Queen Azshara, but it definitely has something to do with the queen. After all, there could have been no bystanders in their final, world-shattering battle."

"So, Illidan the Star Hunter's hunting in the sea of stars for over ten thousand years must have been for a purpose: to save his beloved, right?"

Chromie asked rather gossipily.

Bronze dragons cannot control the stars, so Chromie has no idea about Illidan's experiences over the past ten thousand years.

"Well, when the Star Hunter led the fearless Illidari army to conquer the astral sea, I witnessed the scene as a farewell."

Speaking of this, Farondis, the supposedly cold-blooded lich, had a subtle and teasing smile on his face. He rhythmically tapped the hymn magic book in his hand and said:

"His brother, the spiritual leader of the Kaldorei Moon Kingdom, Malfurion the Emerald Heart, embraced his younger brother and urged him to find a way to save their shared love.

The Moon Goddess sent down an oracle to the High Priestess Maiev Shadowsong, saying that there were legends of other Moon Warriors in the starry sea.

Whether Tyrande can continue her life depends entirely on whether Illidan can find a way.

But as far as I know, Illidan and Malfurion both liked Tyrande, who grew up with them, and before Tyrande became the Nightsworn, she did not give a specific choice.
Ah, to be loved by two such outstanding brothers, the emotional experience of Nightsworn is enough to write a tear-jerking romance novel."

"Well, Farondis, every time you bring up these gossips, you lack the dignity of an elder. No wonder the Silvermoon mages of Quel'Thalas refuse to recognize you as the 'Phoenix Guardian' for a long time."

Merry Winterwind sighed in a dry voice:
"I have no problem saying you're disrespectful to your elders."

"Let the younger generation say what they want. I've been through so much in my life that I no longer care about other people's opinions."

Farondis waved his hand and said proudly:
"Even if they are unwilling, young Kael'thas will have to marry my granddaughter, and my great-grandson will inherit the throne of Quel'Thalas. Do you really think they oppose me because of my character?
Tsk, the High Elves don't learn from their mistakes, and instead play the Upper Elves' utterly corrupt politics. This is all caused by that damned noble Dath'Remar! If it weren't for our thousand-year friendship, I wouldn't help him protect that hopeless country after his death.

Hmm, that means Queen Azshara is now sleeping in the Nightwell in Suramar.

When she opens her eyes one day, the rule of Quel'Thalas will collapse in an instant, and the elven empire will return to this world.

Don't underestimate Azshara's influence on the elves. That terrifying and sincere worship and obedience are more powerful than any magical effect.

That is Azshara's gift, and no elf can resist it."

"She is the daughter of Azeroth, but unfortunately she is a very filial daughter."

Diakum raised his left hand, motioning Farondis to touch his Heart of Argus Seal. The curious lich raised his finger and touched it lightly. The next moment, his powerful will to die was pulled into the spiritual realm by the Argus Star Soul.

Argus stared at the lich and asked:

"The will and strength you felt at the beginning, how similar are they to mine?"

"Ah! Great things."

The great lich knelt on the ground with a trembling spirit, and shouted loudly:

"Exactly the same! Exactly the same! May I ask who you are?"

"Star Soul!"

Agus said:

"My sister is sleeping in Azeroth. She indeed unexpectedly awakened ten thousand years ago. The seal left by the Titans is no longer valid. This is truly wonderful."

"What's up with him?"

Farondis' sudden "falling asleep" shocked the others on the magic carpet, but Diakum waved his hand to signal that there was no need to panic. Argus Star Soul just had a few questions to ask this eyewitness of the Ancient War.

When the "betrayer" met with the Star Soul, Diakum looked up at the Headwind Path Valley in front of him, which had not yet been shrouded in darkness.

The warm sunshine makes this beautiful river valley look like a fairyland, but at the end of the sight, the spires of Karazhan exude an inexplicable chill.

"The defenses of the Mage Tower have not been activated, and the town below is as peaceful as usual."

Khadgar cast Eagle Vision on himself. The young mage looked at the place where he had lived for half a year and said:

"It seems to be alright."

"Do not harbor false confidence, Khadgar. Prepare for the worst."

Diakham said:
"What was the result of asking you to contact the Council of Six?"

"The magic communication has been sent."

Khadgar stroked the violet badge in his hand and sighed:
"But the Council of Six is unlikely to launch a war and send battle mages to Stormwind Kingdom just because of a warning from me."

"Dalaran is no longer pure!

The great wizards who once vowed to pursue the arcane truth are now immersed in the pathetic power of the world. They want to gain wealth, benefits and respect, but have forgotten the original intention of Emperor Thoradin to establish Dalaran.

I have always believed that the city might need to undergo the 'Trial of Heavenly Fire', burning away all superfluous things before it can become pure again."

Merry Winterwind, who had participated in the entire process of building Dalaran, said coldly:

"I suggest you don't count on them sending reinforcements out of solidarity or humanitarian reasons. Antonidas is a good leader, but the other archmages are not like him." "Greedy people also have desires, and as long as there is desire, there is motivation to act. You must make good use of the temptation of darkness, Diachem. Morality can only restrain oneself, but desire can drive others!"

The Shadow's voice sounded a timely reminder in Diak'um's ear, causing the Sentinel to think for a moment before saying to Khadgar:

"They have always wanted to recover the magic of the Guardian of Tirisfal. Then send another letter to Dalaran, and we will bring the power of the Guardian to Stormwind! If they want it, they should show their sincerity.

If the action is not taken in time and the guardian's power is taken away by the greenskins, then if a greenskin guardian appears in the eastern continent.
Don’t blame us for not warning you in advance!”

------

"Disperse them!"

Half an hour later, Diak'um stood in the town below Karazhan and said to Khadgar and Garona:
"Evacuate the civilians here out of Deadwind Pass as quickly as possible. The farther away from here, the better! No matter what happens, don't let them get close to this place until the battle in the tower is over."

"Ah."

The two of them left as they were told. In front of Dick, Aegwynn was talking to Moros, the tower's butler. The expression on the noble butler's face changed dramatically, but facing the strong demands of his "mistress", Moros had no choice but to comply.

For many years, Karazhan Tower has been the most upscale banquet and gathering place in Stormwind Kingdom. Today, a high-society party was still being held here, but it was forced to be rudely interrupted. All the guests had to leave as soon as possible. If this were to get out, it would definitely have a bad impact on Master Medivh's good reputation.

However, looking at the three guests brought by the mistress who looked not to be trifled with, Moros knew that something big was going to happen in Karazhan today.

Moros himself is also a very good spellcaster and assassin. His unique career path choice allows him to perfectly fulfill his butler duties while also having a very good sense of danger.

The mistress came today with anger and a hint of cold murderous intent. She hadn't been so angry in many years.

"There are strange structures beneath this tower."

The Great Lich Farondis said doubtfully:
"That wasn't just shaping in the material world. Medivh also forged the shadows into a special space, making the area of this tower, the 'Shadow Reverse Tower', as large as the buildings above it.

That is also one of the sources of Medivh's power.

Before entering the tower, Merry and I must temporarily seal this reverse tower to avoid any dangerous accidents when facing Medivh."

"There's something very dangerous and dark in there."

Dick flexed his fingers and said:
"I'll go with you two."

"Hmm, do you want to completely purify it with your blazing holy light?"

Farondis quipped:
"Death beings like Merry and I can't withstand the burning of the Holy Flame. The whispers of the Death Force keep reminding us how dangerous you are, Diakum. Just like a piece of rational ice, it should never befriend fire."

"If it was before, I really wouldn't dare to get too close to you."

The Vigilant called upon the Shadow to possess him, and, taking the form of a Shadow Priest, he replied in a teasing tone:
"Back then, while being tempered by the Holy Light, I was wary and hostile towards all creatures with negative energy. How could a walker of light allow dark creatures to exist?

But recently I have comprehended the teachings of darkness and am trying to dispel the fanaticism and regain my sanity. I realized that those who are dark are not evil, and those who are bright are not justice. Liches like the two who have entered the realm of death but are still willing to take risks for justice, friendship and fairness can never be considered evil.

My holy light will never harm two souls like these.

Of course, Master Merry, you'd better take care of the great demon in your body. If it seizes the opportunity to control your body, I don't mind performing a 'burning lich' drama for Master Farondis."

"You still have the nerve to criticize me?"

Old Merry knocked his staff and scolded:

"Look at the shadows etched upon you! Diakam, those shadows have gathered to the point where they echo through the void. You're even more of a villain than us two liches. If a priest were to pass by here, they'd probably be the first to purify you."

"Hahaha"

Both Farodis and Diakum laughed.

Even though the three of them had only known each other for less than two days, they felt like old friends to each other.

The three of them were about to enter the underground area of Karazhan, the haunted place known as the "Upside-Down Abyss," to deal with the darkness lurking there. But before they could find the secret cellar door, Diakum heard a shout:
"I found you! The murderer who hurt my friend! The evil party of the void! And two liches who dared to walk in the mortal world? Great! Evil is holding a meeting, right? Die!"

"Ok?"

Diakum looked back and saw a blue dragon flying down from the clouds. It cast an arcane spell that trapped the three of them outside the town.

Perhaps out of fear of accidentally hurting innocent people, this arcane barrier is very thick, almost completely isolating the communication between the inside and the outside.

The brave blue dragon roared and spewed out icy breath, instantly sealing the two "newbie liches" into ice coffins and tombstones.

Then he transformed into a human form and landed in front of Diakam. The dissipation of the Shadow Priest allowed him to avoid the breath and remain unharmed. However, looking at the blue dragon opposite with the appearance of a high elf and the super-powerful "chatterstick" in her hand, the Sentinel sighed.

There's a reason why you have so few blue dragons!

Are you sick, little sister Tarecgosa? Open your dragon eyes and see who you can defeat among these three people. Switch to Sapphiron or Madigosa, and I, the Vigilant, can still pay you a token respect.

But Hajime, you bastard.
As expected of a big blue dragon hatched from the same nest as the "weakling" Kalecgos, she only learned the bad things instead of the good ones, and copied Kalec's clumsy and playful habits completely.

Facing the righteous blue dragon's glare, Diakum glanced back at the two liches behind him.

Merry Winterwind remained frozen, but no longer had any tragic experiences. Therefore, Prince Farondis, who had a cheerful personality and a bit of a "fun guy" attitude, actually maintained a "horrified expression of being discovered doing something bad" in the ice tomb and winked at Diakum.

What it means is that this uninvited guest is coming for you, and you have to solve the trouble you caused yourself.

"Could this be some misunderstanding?"

Diakum hesitated.

Once he attacks in his Dark Archon form, the enemy will either die or be injured. But Tarecgosa is not a big villain. After all, he has been riding for so many years in the game, and like Chromie, he has some feelings for her.

他 说:

"Perhaps we could try to resolve this dispute more peacefully? Besides, little girl, are you sure you can control that dangerous staff you hold? I don't even need to sense it; I can tell with my eyes that it's resisting you."

"Who are you, little girl? You're a big bad bastard entangled in evil! Your illusion can't hide from my eyes, you blue-skinned, hoofed monster! And you have a tail, tsk, you're obviously not a decent creature."

Tarecgosa snapped.

But before she could finish, the arcane artifact in her hands burst into several balls of light and screamed:
"Do you think you can control me like Magna? Don't even think about it, little blue dragon. In my eyes, you are just a child! Let me go! I can feel Magna's presence nearby. I want to find Magna!
Magna needs me!

She doesn't know who she's facing! Let me go, you ignorant blue dragon! "

"Shut up! Aluneth, this is a war, be serious."

The blue dragon shouted at his own grumpy staff.

The latter was silent for a second, as if observing Diakum, and then his heart began to beat more violently.

It shouted:

"No! I didn't mean to do that. I don't mean to go crazy. I'm a good boy. I'm not a threat to you at all. Let me go! I shouldn't have come here! I want to stay in the cold but comfortable treasure house of the Demonic Nexus.

Take me back!"

"Humph, that's pretty much it."

The blue dragon said with satisfaction:
"You're always so well behaved. Now, let's unite."

"No, child, it wasn't talking to you."

Diakum took out the Twilight Hammer.

The moment this thing appeared, Terecgosa felt her soul being torn apart by an invisible object.

She let out a scream.

But the scream from the staff in her hand drowned her out at that moment, just like two girls walking on the street at night and hugging each other and screaming when they encountered a pervert.

Meri Dongfeng and Farondis, who were still playing "Crushed Ice", saw that something was about to happen, so they immediately shattered the ice and flashed over from the left and right to suppress Diakum.

"Don't be so extreme! Why don't you switch to Holy Light?"

Merry shouted.

"She's still just a child! You're over 20,000 years old. Don't argue with a silly kid who's only a few thousand years old."

Farondis also shouted.

Over there, Terecgosa seemed to understand, turned around and ran away. Looking at the horrifying void echo on Diak'um's body, it was clear that this was definitely not a problem she could handle. No wonder Arcanagosa was beaten so badly!
She must report this to the Weaver!
Send the Spellweaver over with the Focusing Iris and send this Void lunatic skyward!
Do not!
It would be safer if the Dragon Kings each brought their own magical weapons!
Then she saw a star giant in the blur, looking down at her with indifference. Argus stared at the Titan servant who came to him on his own initiative, and raised his hand to slap him.

Just like swatting a fly, he snorted coldly:
"Where are you going, little blue bug?"

"what!"

Tarecgosa rolled his eyes and fell from the air, spinning and hitting the ground, splashing dust all over the ground.

At this moment, Chromie, who was leaning on the roof of the town with his staff and his hands on the pergola looking at this side, suddenly covered his eyes in despair.

Ah, these neurotic blue dragons.
When you send someone out to investigate, why don’t you choose someone more capable?
You deserve it because you are outnumbered!

Well, my "Dragon Travel Group" is going to have one more member.
