27. Shadow believers---Crow 1131 [7/30] for the silver lord
Nasa promised Buddy the goblin that she would help him buy one day so that he could make full preparations before meeting the Lord of the Dark Blade whom he had not seen for a long time.
But this does not mean that Nasa will be stupid enough to directly stop Tyrion. On the contrary, maybe the watcher who has just accepted the power of blood is unruly, but after following Tyrion for the fourth year, even if
Nasa, the most stubborn one, has also accepted the fact that her and Tyrion's fates are connected.
Although many times, she would habitually create some small troubles for her "master", but in her heart, the taboo connection reorganized by blood still made her get closer to Tyrion every day, until she finally became the dark one.
Lord Blade's most loyal shadow.
It is precisely because of this blood connection that Tyrion trusts Nassa very much. While the Death Lords are busy expanding the power of the Dark Blade, the Blood Watchers who are responsible for covert operations have never relaxed. As early as Tyrion
Before Ang passed through the Dark Portal for the first time, he left two watchers with Buddy Moore, Cordana Evil Song and Marais Shadow, and he gave them special tasks.
Search for some lost "artifacts" within the eastern continent.
Of course, the artifacts Tyrion mentioned did not refer to weapons related to Titans. The Death Knight knew very well that anything related to those "gods" was dangerous, so he narrowed the target a lot and made it easy to find.
It can be used immediately, and the legends circulated are extremely rare. The star movement mode of the two watchers is also specifically required. At least they cannot take the initiative to find those well-known legends, such as the sword of the human emperor Arathor - Destroy the War.
Weapons such as
Among all the "artifacts" known to Tyrion, Xal'atath is undoubtedly the easiest to obtain and the most dangerous. There was even a time when the Death Knight even wanted to give up looking for it.
.
In a sense, that weapon, like Apocalypse, is an out-and-out evil blade, and frankly speaking, the stories that were born from it are more evil than the cold rumors of Apocalypse.
"Da, da, da"
The low sound of horse hooves sounded in the forest outside the Quiet Garden Cemetery. Not long after, Tyrion and Alleria, dressed in black robes, appeared in front of the watchers. The death knight dismounted and there was no verbal communication.
He silently followed Nasa into the cemetery. As he got closer to the center of the cemetery, the dark power remaining in the cemetery became more powerful.
"It's not here."
Tyrion finally walked into the abandoned chapel behind the cemetery. In front of him, there was an opened grave, with a rotting corpse buried in it. The death knight did not approach the corpse. He stretched out his hand.
To stop Alleria from approaching, he whispered:
"This corpse is nothing to look at, but there is no doubt that you are looking in the right direction. Nasa, he was indeed killed by Xal'atath, and his soul was drained. And it looks like it was a...
.Disgusting living sacrifice.”
"Cultist stuff."
Nasa waved her hand in disgust, and Cordana who was standing aside waved a shovel, and quickly reburied the body. After the soil was filled, Nasa stood next to Tyrion, she was a little bit
Said hesitantly:
"We should have continued to pursue it, but after I discovered the darkness of madness hidden in this thing, I decided to stop. Great Lord, I am not dissatisfied with your decision, but no matter how powerful the weapon is, it is not worth using us.
The best assassins go on adventures, it...it's so weird, even in the Watcher's Vault, there is nothing so weird."
"So, this Xal'atath?"
Alleria frowned and asked:
"What exactly is it?"
Tyrion did not answer the question immediately, but looked at Cordana behind Nasa, who hurriedly explained:
"That is a weapon, Mistress, a magic weapon. Judging from the wounds on the corpse, it should be a weapon similar to a ceremonial dagger. About it, Marais and I have collected a lot in the past three years.
The information, but most of it is incomplete, but two of the stories have been confirmed by us as true events, and through them, you can probably understand some of this weapon's...evil habits."
"Then tell me."
Alleria stood next to Tyrion, looking at her husband who was lost in thought, and she shrugged:
"I'm listening."
Blood Watcher Cordana cleared her throat and began to tell the crazy and creepy stories she had collected in this cemetery less than 10 minutes away from Night Town.
"At the beginning, after everyone left Azeroth and went to Draenor, Marais and I started walking around the eastern continent to carry out Lord Tyrion's orders. The first "artifact" we found clues to was Xalata
Si and Deadwind Reaper."
"When Marais went to Karazhan to look for the Deadwind Reaper, I also set out together to go to the Burning Plains, the underground city of the Dark Iron Dwarves. There, there was a not-so-old, but very interesting story circulating there.
"
Cordana reached out and took off her owl helmet. The elf girl with braids first glanced at the people in front of her, and then spoke in a strange tone:
"Modgud, the Dark Iron Witch Queen 300 years ago, was the wife of the old Witch King Thaurissan. Her birth was very noble, at least for dwarves, and she also inherited her family's tradition of studying magic.
Tradition. The evil and insidious but talented Witch Queen has the most powerful magical artifacts collected by the Dark Iron Dwarves in history, such as the Staff of the Witch King and the Sealing Slate. She is very greedy for knowledge and knowledge.
Magic, extremely greedy!"
The Blood Watcher's voice became more and more weird, and Anaya, the timidest Watcher, quietly walked out of the chapel in the cemetery. She said to herself:
"I had a premonition that Cordana was going to tell another scary story, so I'd better... I'd better go on patrol."
Anaya's departure did not interrupt the enthusiastic Cordana's story. She continued:
"Modgud often hired the best dwarf explorers to excavate some antiquities for her to study. There were no problems at first, until one time, a dwarf brought back a sharp blade wrapped in darkness."
Cordana's eyes narrowed, and she said mysteriously to her companions with malice:
"And this is the beginning of the nightmare!"
"The Witch Queen was quickly attracted. She spent a long time studying this dagger. She even missed the first big scene of the War of the Three Hammers because of it, and the guards saw the Witch Queen's mysterious appearance more than once.
She spoke to her weapon, and the dagger was always with her."
"This is nothing..."
Alleria frowned and said: "In Quel'Thalas, there are also many weapons that are very mysterious. The magic sword inherited by the royal family, Flame Strike, also has its own soul. It is said that it will not let its own power go.
The same goes for the magical bow used by people outside the Sunstrider bloodline, as well as the Sarados I used."
"No, no, mistress, these two are different!"
Cordana's eyes flashed with a mischievous look, and she murmured in a slight voice:
"The Witch Queen suddenly remembered something once. She desperately wanted to meet the dwarf who brought back this sharp blade. She said she wanted to thank him in person. But she searched the entire Shadowforge City and couldn't find him.
What’s even weirder is that no one can remember the dwarf’s name or his face, it’s like... he seems to have disappeared out of thin air, and it seems like... he’s never appeared again!”
"That was the Witch Queen's fantasy, or the weapon wanted to fall into her hands... But she herself didn't know the origin of the sword. So, when she held the dagger for the first time,
Her fate is already sealed!"
The atmosphere in the chapel became a little strange. Alleria pursed her lips, Nasa smiled disdainfully, and Marais Phantom looked around nervously. Mirana didn't know when, she had already
Following Anaya on patrol, Tyrion was the only one still frowning, sitting in the corner of the church, thinking about something alone.
"Everyone knows the ending of the Witch Queen. She died in Grim Batol, but before she died, the Dark Iron Dwarves still had an absolute advantage. In fact, Prince Cardros of the Wildhammer was already in despair. He
He launched a desperate counterattack, which was impossible to succeed, but he succeeded. Surrounded by tens of thousands of black iron dwarves, he killed the Witch Queen alone... And as you know, before the Witch Queen died,
What was the last sentence?"
The Blood Watcher breathed a sigh of relief. She imitated the dwarf's rumbling voice and said in a deep voice:
"No... you promised... yes, that dagger, the weapon she never left behind, abandoned her at the most critical moment..."
A gust of cold wind blew into the chapel just right, making the hair on the back of Alleria's neck stand up. Windrunner subconsciously looked at her husband. She was not frightened by Cordana's story, but
It's that weird dagger. It sounds like the magic sword Apocalypse held by Tyrion, and Windrunner has also seen with her own eyes Apocalypse's oppression of the sword holder... She doesn't want the same ending to happen to her.
On her own husband.
"I know you don't believe it, but this story is true."
Cordana sat on the rotten chair, playing with the sharp dagger, and whispered:
"Every Dark Iron Dwarf Warlock knows this story, and many of them are chasing Xalatath, but unfortunately no one succeeds. The dagger seems to have lost interest in the dwarves. After 300 years,
It appears again, but this time, it falls into the hands of a human."
"Natalie Serling, the Holy Light Bishop of the Stormwind Kingdom, experienced the tragedy of Stormwind City being captured by the orcs. She vowed to take revenge, but at that time, she heard about some orc warlocks who were looking for a weapon in the Stormwind Kingdom.
There were rumors about the dagger, and then she went and snatched the dagger from the orcs single-handedly. No one knows how she did it, but unlike Modgud, she was given another kind of power by this weapon."
Cordana's second story was much simpler. She herself was not interested in this story, probably because of the lack of some horror elements, which made Cordana lose her energy.
"Bishop Natalie was not as determined as she thought. She did not destroy the dagger. How could she think a person could defeat a power she did not understand? Another classic nightmare beginning. She learned a lot from that dagger.
The weapon is also consciously controlling her, whether she is awake or sleeping, the Blade of the Dark Empire will whisper to her."
"She is a priest, but that weapon gave her knowledge that was completely different from the Holy Light. It was simply the opposite. Void! It was the kind of fragment you found in Draenor, very similar power. Natalie believed that in the Holy Light
Between the ebb and flow of light and void, she could find ways to use them. How to say, she succeeded, but she also failed."
At this time, Tyrion, who had been silent until now, suddenly opened his mouth and picked up Cordana’s story:
"The shadow priest thought that she could cross the boundary between the holy light and the void, and that she could use the power of light and darkness to achieve a great future for herself and the world. But she ignored one thing, any powerful power has a price,
She ignores that walking in the shadows always comes with a price."
The Lord Death Knight stood up, straightened his robe, and said softly:
"Natalie Serling is hopeless. The weapon will abandon her just like Modgud. And just recently... a living sacrifice, tsk tsk, this pastor lady has probably forgotten her duty.
, she has been lost in the beautiful fantasy that Xal'atath has compiled for her."
"You are right, Nasa, your consideration is correct. We cannot be disturbed by the power of the void, at least not now. And it makes sense that the weapon is called the Blade of the Dark Empire. I can't tell you about it.
The truth, but now, stop the pursuit of Xal'atath immediately, even if we are only one step away from it, that weapon should not be left with us... No one can control it."
Tyrion coughed lightly:
"She is tired of Natalie. She is looking for the next interesting soul. However, maybe we can take the initiative to send an interesting soul to Xal'atath. It would be a pity to let it disappear like this for decades."
Lord Dark Blade turned his gaze to Nasa beside him, and asked in a low voice:
"I heard that our noble Privy Councilor, the Chaldean priest, seemed to have objections to some of my requests. He felt that he was on the side of the light and that he was a hero? He felt that he was not the same as us evil undead spirits.
Such a group of people... It's a pity. I originally wanted him to take on more important responsibilities and missions. It's really a pity..."
"But since the Chaldean pastor wants freedom, then I will give him freedom..."
Tyrion waved his hand:
"I also promised to give a gift, and it's time to fulfill my promise. To be honest, I'm looking forward to the confrontation between him and Benedictus."
