After learning that Maiev had escaped successfully, Akama's face glowed red and her complexion became much better.
"Okay, Maiev has escaped. My hope of survival has greatly increased. After meeting Maiev, I will go and admit my mistake to Illidan."
Khadgar secretly wondered what the connection between Maiev's escape and Akama's survival was.
After escaping from Illidan's prison, Maiev sneaked all the way until she reached Shattrath City and finally revealed herself in public.
Two years ago, the twenty-fourth year of the Dark Portal, a group of Naaru entered the Outland and rebuilt the city of Shattrath on the ruins.
This is the city of Holy Light, representing the Legion of Holy Light in the universe. Illidan once sent Kael'thas to attack Shattrath City, but unfortunately it failed.
From then on, this city became a haven to protect Illidan's enemies, and various forces opposed to Illidan gathered here.
Maiev needed to gather the Watchers and had no choice but to show up in Shattrath City. Unexpectedly, Akama was waiting for her.
A Broken One invited Maiev. Maiev, who was a skilled artist, was brave and didn't care about the ambush. She followed the Broken One to a house in the slums.
This is an arakkoa building. It looks dilapidated on the outside and is filled with the unique filthy smell of the arakkoa.
However, the interior is extremely gorgeous, filled with gold, silver, and jade articles, and the walls are covered with famous calligraphy and paintings, each of which is priceless.
Maiev secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If there was an ambush, they would not set it up in such a place. If there was a fight, the losses would be too great.
The exquisite incense burner emits a cloying aroma. This is the best spice in the outside world. It is said that it is extracted from Goron's excrement.
Akama was wrapped in a gorgeous duck down blanket, his face was pale, and he was warming himself by the fire. There was a Draenei behind him.
These duck downs are taken from the arakkoa, and each blanket means the loss of hundreds of arakkoa lives.
"Maev, how long has it been since we last met?"
There was a hot wave outside, and the doors and windows inside were closed, making it sweltering and airtight. Maiev looked at the stove in front of Akama.
"Last time you complained to me that Illidan was treating you unfairly. The treatment of the Broken Ones was far inferior to that of the Demon Hunters. At that time, I was still a prisoner."
Akama raised his head and smiled bitterly: "You have a good memory."
Maiev raised her chin arrogantly and said sarcastically: "Your complaints are baseless. The Demon Hunter accepts the infusion of evil energy, while your Broken One rejects evil energy."
Akama snorted coldly: "If we accept evil energy, what's the difference between us and the Eredar? The Draenei have been wandering for tens of thousands of years just to stay away from evil energy."
Maiev shook her head: "I'm not interested in the conflict between you and Illidan."
Akama took a deep breath: "You are wrong. If there was no conflict between Illidan and I, how could you escape from prison?"
"Did you let me out?" Maiev's beautiful eyebrows raised sharply.
Since the last meeting with Akama, the Broken Ones in the prison have obviously become more relaxed, otherwise Maiev would not have found a chance to escape.
Akama nodded: "I had a dispute with the strongest demon hunter Fander, and we agreed to a fair duel. I knocked down Fander and stepped on his face into the mud, but Illidan favored him and punished him severely.
In Illidan's eyes, I have always been an outsider."
Maiev curled her lips, she was well aware of Fander's strength. Maiev had been blessed by the moon god Elune, and her strength was extraordinary, but she was no match for Fander.
"What, you don't believe it?"
Akama suddenly untied the blanket, revealing his scarred body. What was even more shocking was that a shadow appeared behind him.
Maiev stared at the scars all over Akama's body, and then looked at the shadow behind her.
Maiev, who has been a warden for ten thousand years, is proficient in various punishments and can see that Akama's injuries are real.
The shadow is even more terrifying, it is a torn soul.
Maiev believed it and nodded: "Illidan is really ruthless."
Akama wrapped himself in a blanket and continued to light the fire: "I must plan for the people, otherwise the Broken will become cannon fodder. Maiev, can we be allies?"
Maiev was slightly moved. If Akama was an insider, things would be much easier.
"Trust is based on cooperation." Ma Wei pointed out.
Akama took out a list of spies placed by Illidan in Shattrath City.
Maiev felt a chill down her back after reading it. There was a watcher's name on it, and Maiev had high hopes for it.
"Avril, is she also Illidan's spy?"
Akama said regretfully: "She did not survive Illidan's torture and has already betrayed him."
Maiev's eyes were clearly spitting fire: "I will find out the truth. If this list is true, it represents the beginning of our cooperation."
"You have to believe in my sincerity." Akama stood up and said, "I will go to the Dark Temple right now to admit my mistake and apologize to Illidan. If I am lucky enough to survive, our cooperation will begin."
Maiev looked at him jokingly: "You want to deceive Illidan's trust? Why don't you just raise the flag of resistance?"
Akama said helplessly: "There are many Broken ones in the Dark Temple, and I can't abandon them."
After that, Akama pointed at Khadgar behind him: "Atani, my most trusted good friend, if anything happens to me, he will contact you."
After carefully looking at Khadgar disguised as a Draenei, Maiev nodded seriously.
After Maiev left, Akama breathed a sigh of relief and said to Khadgar:
"Do you think Maiev can be trusted?"
After hearing Akama's question, Khadgar quickly replied:
"I understand the night elves. Their arrogance makes them easy to trust others. Then again, the elves in Azeroth have the right to be arrogant."
Akama patted Khadgar on the shoulder and said, "I trust you the most. Once we have the list, Maiev will definitely take action. You will stay in Shattrath City and cooperate with her."
Khadgar agreed, rubbed his chin and thought about it, and suddenly realized something.
Dark Temple.
The Skull of Gul'dan shone with a strange light, and Illidan stood on the steps, absently listening to Akama's confession.
Akama knelt at the foot of the steps, with runny nose and tears, and honestly told how he was bewitched by the Holy Light and betrayed Fander again and again.
"Lord Illidan, I know I was wrong. Thrall tore my soul apart, and I regret it so much. I am willing to give half of my soul just to be forgiven."
The corner of Illidan's mouth raised slightly: "You have really troubled me. If I don't agree, I will be considered to be weak. Akama, where is your sincerity?"
Akama hesitated for a while:
"Lord Illidan, during my absence, someone among the Broken Broken secretly let Maiev go. I promise to find the traitor, capture Maiev, and eliminate more Watchers."
Illidan laughed: "Okay, I will keep half of your soul. Go ahead, find the traitor and capture Maiev."
Akama thanked him and left. Fander appeared behind Illidan and said worriedly:
"Why do I not trust Akama? I have a hunch that he is definitely not sincere."
Illidan smiled coldly: "You are trying to hide this from me even though you are trying to trick me. Akama has already betrayed you. From him, you can find out who was behind the scenes, so we spared his life."
Fandel stared at Akama's half soul: "If we control this soul, Akama will never be able to betray again. This is the strangest thing about me."
"It's just a small trick." Illidan smiled and said: "The person behind the scenes underestimates me. The secret hidden in the soul is the clue. Let me find him."
