Night Demon was a blue dragon when he was alive, and he was an adult elite blue dragon that has become very rare after Deathwing's betrayal.
Therefore, when she learned that Sharlayan planned to go to Karazhan to bring back the bones of Akanagos and send them back to Dragonblight to rest in peace, Stellagosa also volunteered to join this trip to Karazhan.
Sarlayan hesitated: "But your injury..."
Little Xingxing said resolutely: "My injury has healed a long time ago. If you don't believe it, we can go out and compare."
"No, that's not necessary."
Sarlayan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's not that I don't believe you, I'm just worried that your initial recovery from injury will affect your combat effectiveness."
"After all, Akannagos was once an elite of the blue dragon clan, and his strength is not much worse than Kalecgos's."
"Even if its combat effectiveness is not as good as before after being twisted by Sargeras' evil energy, it will never be an easy character to deal with."
"And..." Sarlayan narrowed his eyes slightly: "If I were Makzhar, I would definitely not let go of this perfect opportunity to break the situation."
Onyxia put away her cynical smile and echoed with a somewhat solemn expression: "That guy has been waiting for an opportunity to further infiltrate Karazhan, and the existence of the Night Demon blocked his way."
"The battle between Sharlayan and the Night Demon will inevitably cause quite a stir. There is a great chance that Makzhar will take advantage of the troubled waters and hide in the dark to try to kill them all when they both lose."
Only then did Stella Gosa understand why Sarlayan was so cautious. She lowered her head and pondered for a moment before asking: "How strong is this Prince Maczhar?"
Sarlayan spread his hands: "I don't know, the Night Demon blocked Maczhar's way down, and also prevented Khadgar's spies from reconnaissance of the upper levels."
"Based on the existing intelligence, we can only confirm that Makzhar is a high-level Eredar, with at least half-god-level strength. We don't know anything else."
Stella Gosa took advantage of the situation and said: "Then I should go with you to prevent you from being attacked by Maczar who is hiding in the dark when you are fighting against the Night Demon."
After hesitating for a moment, Sarlayan finally nodded and agreed: "Okay, I originally planned to take Oni with me, but..."
Turning to look at the Black Dragon Princess who was sitting upright and deliberately looking up at the sky to pretend not to hear, Sarlayan rolled his eyes helplessly.
"...Forget it, let this lazy idiot continue to lie down. Let's recall Tina who was having fun in Dalaran, and the three of us will set off to Karazhan together."
…
After receiving Sharlayan's reply from Unicorn City, Tinagosa ran back through the portal without saying a word.
Little Tina, who has a lively nature, is eager to have the opportunity to travel to every corner of Azeroth to explore secrets. Karazhan, a secret place with a great reputation, is also one of her exploration goals.
When she saw Tinagosa's message in the guest room of her mage tower, Jaina was speechless at her best friend who walked away without saying hello.
However, Tinagosa's sudden departure can be considered good news. It means that Sharlayan has received the notification and is ready to take action.
Jaina immediately went to the Violet Castle and told Speaker Luo Ning the good news, finally letting Luo Ning, who had been worried about gains and losses recently, breathe a sigh of relief.
Utilizing the infinite energy provided by the Sun Well, and through the spatial coordinates provided by Pathfinder Old Matharean, Stellagosa opened the portal leading directly to the Headwind Pass in front of the Lord's Mansion.
After a few years, they came to the Deadwind Pass again. Stellagosa and Tinagosa were still curious about the strange environment here, but Sarlayan keenly felt that the twisted arcane energy in the air had significantly improved.
.
When Medivh died, the huge amount of evil energy and arcane magic gathered in his body triggered a large-scale energy explosion. The original tree-lined natural environment of the Deadwind Pass has undergone devastating changes, becoming what it is today.
It was so miserable that not even a blade of grass could grow.
Not only the Deadwind Trail was affected by this big explosion, the Dusk Forest next door was also affected.
Duskwood was originally part of Elwynn Forest, and there was no difference in environment from the north bank of the river.
After the big explosion in Karazhan, the forest turned into the dark appearance it is today with no sunlight all year round. This is why the Dusk Forest got its name.
As Khadgar gradually regained the floors of Karazhan occupied by other forces from bottom to top, he also naturally recovered a lot of the legacy Medivh left in the tower.
With the help of Moros, Khadgar began to use the magic network of the Guardian Tower and the assistance of various magical equipment to purify the environment of Deadwind Pass, trying to straighten out the arcane energy that was contaminated and distorted by evil energy.
As the saying goes, it is easy to destroy but difficult to cure. This major environmental restoration project is destined not to be completed in one or two years, but will take at least 10 years.
Even by the standards of human mages, Khadgar is still very young and has at least 100 years left to live.
Judging from the current progress, as long as he persists in this long-lasting major project, there should be hope that within Khadgar's lifetime, he can reverse the bad environment of Deadwind Pass... and even the Dusk Forest.
Before setting off from Unicorn City, Sarlayan had contacted Khadgar.
When the three of them teleported to the Adverse Wind Path, Khadgar, whose hair and beard were still white but whose appearance had not changed much, was already waiting in front of the tower door with Moros and Atumen.
Khadgar's appearance was caused by the aging curse of Sargeras. Although he used various methods to replenish the vitality consumed by the curse, he was never able to find a way to reverse his aging appearance.
According to Khadgar's self-deprecating statement, the appearance of a 60-year-old man has seriously affected his personal life, and it is not easy to find a compatible partner.
At that time, Sharlayan jokingly recommended Modera, who was "the same age" to him, and Khadgar, who was naturally laughed out of anger, chased him with a chicken leg staff.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Long time no see, old friend."
Khadgar handed the Staff of Atiesh to Moros for safekeeping, and with a smile on his face opened his arms and gave Sharlayan a warm hug.
"I have heard about your experiences in the past few years, and you have made many amazing achievements in places that I don't know about."
"Uduar..." Khadgar said with some emotion: "I have always wanted to find an opportunity to visit it, but unfortunately... the City of Titan is not something that mortals can enter casually."
Sarlayan is helpless about this. Ulduar, which guards the Forge of Will, is indeed not a place suitable for outsiders to visit, even if the outsider is a good friend recognized by Sarlayan.
After ending the embrace with Sharlayan, Khadgar politely reached out and shook hands with Stellagosa and Tinagosa who were accompanying him.
"Two beautiful ladies, welcome to Karazhan, the Tower of Guardians."
Under the warm hospitality of Khadgar as the host, the three of them entered the interior of Karazhan and climbed all the way up the spiral staircase.
The last time he left Karazhan, Sharlayan only helped Khadgar recover the first and second floors.
After several years of hard work, Khadgar and his party sealed the Virgin of Chastity, took back the opera house, formatted and restarted the curator (high-level arcane puppet), and defeated the satyr named Trestan Evilhoof.
, freeing the Shadow of Elam who was bound in the tower.
Half a month before Sarlayan left seclusion, Khadgar had just banished the Void Dragon and blocked the broken space passage leading to the unknown star field.
[If you calculate it this way, apart from Reflection Karazhan, which has not been targeted by the Burning Legion for the time being, the only three bosses standing in front of Khadgar are Night Demon, Chess and Maczhar? 】
[Can you advance this far with just this little thing in your hand? Khadgar's efficiency is quite high.]
[By the way, does Sasha know how to play chess? 】
【Ah, this...you have to ask yourself this.】
Sarlayan: "...No need to guess, I don't know how."
[It doesn’t matter, the rules of chess are not serious anyway, so you’ll have to go all the way recklessly.]
Sharlayan: "That's not necessary. Let Khadgar deal with it slowly. My task is only to deal with the Night Demon and the possible appearance of Maczhar. Chess can be skipped for the time being."
"Let's not talk about chess with weird rules..."
Under the guidance of Khadgar and Moros, the three of Sarlayan came to the hall where the Saint of Chastity was sealed. Sarlayan looked thoughtfully at the female stone giant half-kneeling in the binding magic circle.
"I've always been puzzled, how did such a big titan creature end up in Karazhan?"
