Chapter 50 I may not be human, but you are a real dog!
Azeroth has two moons, referred to as double moons.
Tonight, the larger of the twin moons rises first and hangs round in the night sky, illuminating the stars with its silver-white moonlight.
Under this soft moonlight, the peaks of the Redridge Mountains are decorated.
At the foot of the western side of the mountain range is Elwynn Forest, covered by oak and satinwood, extending from the hilly areas to the seaside.
To the east is the vast black swamp, a swampy mountainous area covered with streams and rivers, where the Dark Portal that released the orcs is located.
To the south is the headwind path.
In ancient times, a big explosion of unknown origin occurred here, forming a crater. The space and void in the middle of the crater collapsed and folded, becoming a space-time node that connected other worlds and the twisted void.
When Medivh grew up and became a powerful guardian, he was attracted by the characteristics of time and space here. For long-term research, he was brave and skilled, so he built a mage tower in the center of the node and settled down.
This is Karazhan.
King Llane of the Kingdom of Stormwind, Medivh's childhood friend, learned of this situation and sealed the place directly to him.
Ever since, after incorporating the power emanating from Medivh, Krazan gradually merged with the nodes of time and space, and the mage tower itself became part of this special time and space.
This folded and distorted time and space has led to the existence of many illusions in Karazhan. They are not illusions or ghosts, but real.
Fragments that exist in the past or future are involved in the chaos of time and space, and appear in places they shouldn't.
"Medivine once used a metaphor to describe this uncertainty. In ordinary people's concept of time, it is a clock. At every moment, where the hands of the clock go is determined. His mage tower is an hourglass. People
It is impossible to know the movement of every grain of sand in the hourglass at every moment, and those chaotic illusions are like these sands."
Sir Lothar, who had escorted Varian to Lordaeron before, looked at the ancient tower towering on the mountain from a distance and fell into memories.
He, Medivh and King Lion were childhood friends. They grew up together in Stormwind City and were close buddies.
But now, he is coming to end Medivh's life with his own hands.
Kel'Thuzad stood next to Sir Lothar, savoring these words. The elf prince Kael'thas on the other side continued: "The final effect of the hourglass is the same as that of a clock. Time advances in a specific direction. In the end, every time
Even a grain of sand will fall to the bottom, and you are worthy of being a guardian. It’s a wonderful metaphor!”
Kel'Thuzad nodded: "It is now confirmed that the leader of the Burning Legion has corroded Medivh's soul, and Medivh's research results on the time and space of Karazhan are the basis for his creation of the Dark Portal, which will eventually destroy the orcs in another world.
Brought into our land and ordered them to burn, kill and loot..."
He was originally very unhappy with Kael'thas, the elf prince.
But now the relationship between the two parties has completely eased.
Because Kael'thas also joined the team.
Everyone knows that this trip is full of misfortunes. Prince Kael'thas dares to implicate himself. Is there any small conflict that cannot be let go of?
"So how much impact do the ghosts in Karazhan have on us?"
A beautiful female voice sounded, and Vereesa Windrunner spoke.
She looks somewhat similar to Sylvanas. She is brave and calm. She is the eldest sister.
After hearing Vereesa's doubts, Archbishop Alonsos Faol, who was standing at the end, smiled slightly and said humorously: "Compared with the real goal, ghosts are just desserts that the Holy Light allows us to relax."
This is the revered archbishop of all human kingdoms, and his followers are spread across the entire continent.
In the original plot, he is the founder of the Paladin profession and the Knights of the Silver Hand. Likewise, he is also the master of legendary figures such as Uther, Tirion Fordring, and Turalyon.
Of course, none of his descendants are famous now except Uther. The archbishop was invited by his friend Lothar to serve as a priest.
Among the Seven Kingdoms, there is no more powerful lineup than this!
"Let's go!"
The three humans and the two elves looked at each other and walked towards Karazhan.
Looking closer, Karazhan's appearance is made of a mixture of thick white bricks and mortar. It reaches into the sky, higher than the surrounding mountains. Under the moonlight, it looks more like a lighthouse.
There is a low wall at the foundation of the Master's Tower. Outside the wall is a residential area, which was once very prosperous.
Medivh got the fief and became the lord here. He ruled the town and even dug a huge wine cellar underneath to store the wine.
"The population here was so large at one time that even Medivh hired dozens of people to look at the cellar!"
Sir Lothar is sad again. As he gets older, he can't help but miss the past years.
Medivh was such a homebody that he stayed in the tower all day and rarely went out on his own initiative. Therefore, the place where the three good friends gathered was usually in Karazhan.
When the king traveled, he was naturally accompanied by the princes and nobles. At that time, Karazhan was bustling with people every day.
There is an opera house and a dance hall inside a mage tower, and they are often full. Can you believe it?
But now, everything is desolate.
The town was abandoned because of rumors of haunting caused by hallucinations, and because Medivh's appearances became less and less frequent, his temper became more and more erratic, and the residents shunned it.
The silence in the tower now almost means that Medivh no longer hides, opening the devil's mouth, waiting for stupid heroes to fall into the trap.
But the more this happened, the more determined Sir Lothar's eyes became. He put his hand on the door and pushed it open.
The most powerful and now mysterious mage tower in the entire continent unfolded in front of everyone.
It was not quiet inside the tower.
A group of monsters crowded in front of the door, watching everyone quietly.
There are demons running out of the Mirror Tower. These demons are ironclad evidence of Medivh's corruption;
In the vision just mentioned, Sir Lothar even saw his past self and King Llane;
There are cursed souls. The souls of the explorers who died in Karazhan are cursed and cannot be reincarnated;
There are also Medivh's mana residues, and the guardian's powerful power allows the mana residues after he casts spells to condense into arcane elements, which poses a considerable threat...
Good guys, a great gathering of talents, a good start!
"It seems that Medivh held a grand welcome ceremony for us!"
Sir Lothar felt his blood boiling. He held up the sword that symbolized the oath to defend Azeroth, and the warrior roared:
"charge!!!"
…
"They're fighting the monsters in Karazhan."
At the same time, at the back door of the lower level of Karazhan, the substitute team sneaked into the animal pen.
During the glory days of Karazhan, livestock was raised here on a large scale to cater for the daily grand banquets, but it has long been abandoned.
As for the enemies, there are none. They are all besieging the main team at the gate!
Due to the cooperation between the Stormpike Guards and the Red Dragon Clan, they were able to move quickly, and the main team was still cautiously sneaking in along the way.
But in order to give the main force some face, Huang Shang waited a moment and let Kel'Thuzad and the others open the door first before entering.
companion:"……"
This is really the first time that the main force covers the substitutes.
Even N'Zoth was relieved.
This guy treats everyone like this, and he's not bad at all.
Seeing N'Zoth being held by the Paladin's hand obediently, the Red Dragon Queen was frightened and watched again and again.
She has great fear and distrust of N'Zoth.
But along the way, Huang Shang had a heart-to-heart conversation with her.
Anyway, the Burning Legion is really going to come, and the world will also be destroyed. It's better to treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.
The Red Dragon Queen was convinced.
"According to the original plan, we are looking for survivors in the tower. Remember, no matter who they are, they may play a key role in defeating Medivh!"
Huang Shang obtained the content of the reincarnation's confession from Kel'Thuzad, and he legitimately told everyone the original fate path.
On the surface, the key plot characters in Karazhan are the apprentice Khadgar, a spy sent by Dalaran, and the assassin Garona, a spy sent by Gul'dan. Medivh is like gin.
But how could Medivh be so miserable? In fact, there was a loyal servant in the tower.
Butler Moros.
In Huang Shang's view, after the intervention of the reincarnator, this person became more important.
Of course, Moros may have been killed now, but it doesn't matter, Karazhan is an extremely special place, where fragments of time and space from the past and the future will gather.
They still have a chance to "meet".
"Aha, let me see what this is?"
Brian Bronzebeard was so excited that he couldn't help himself. Looking at the empty stable, he was eager to go in and study the horse manure.
Huang Shang held him down.
In the original plot, this guy was famous for being slow at opening monsters, so arrangements had to be made:
"Bryan, you are in a group with me. Sylvanas, you are in a group with the Queen. We will split up, but only on the lower level. After an hour, no matter whether we find anything or not, we will come back here to meet up, and then go up.
layer!"
"clear!"
The four of them walked on both sides of the animal pen.
When I actually walked in Karazhan, I realized that this mage tower was really huge. It was like a small city. Not to mention Kel'Thuzad's mage tower, even Antonidas's mage tower was not even one-tenth of its size.
one.
Brian was amazed at what he saw. If Huang Shang hadn't restrained him, Sahuan would have gone to nowhere. Even the torches on the wall were not spared: "Look, these torches emit cold light and are not blown by the wind."
It shakes and does not require any fuel. As long as it is lit, it can burn forever..."
Huang Shang nodded and asked humbly: "As expected of an explorer, what does this mean?"
Brian jumped a little, landed on the torch, stroked it carefully, and grinned: "I don't know yet, but I have a bold idea!"
Huang Shang stopped him directly: "Put away your bold ideas, Brian, this is not a place for your adventure!"
Brian was silent for a moment and spread his hands: "Then you'd better tie me up!"
After a while.
Huang Shang held Enzos with his left hand and Brian with his right hand, and continued to move forward.
Brian: "..."
You really come!
I'm kidding!
Huang Shang is not joking. Even if Thanos has the backstory, they are facing Sargeras, the super devil who blew up the planet Thanos placed on him with one punch. You can never be too cautious. Just be obedient.
Just use your super detective attributes.
Brian Bronzebeard is a character that people both love and hate in all ruins. What I love is that he can always find traces and clues that others cannot find, making the journey fruitful. What I hate is that he has an endless desire to explore.
This harvest will turn into a disaster...
Now that Huang Shang has tied him up, it is much more effective and he can only use his advantages.
"There's something wrong here!"
"Check, there should be a secret passage!"
Brian Treasure Hunter lived up to his name. Within a few minutes, he found traces of the secret room.
Unfortunately, when Huang Shang opened it, he found that it was a place where debris was piled up, and there was nothing worth exploring.
"Why would a place like this be hidden on purpose?"
He thought carefully, picked up a broom, and continued searching.
The sound of fierce fighting could be heard faintly at the main entrance. He was cheering for his mentor and quickly searched three or four more secret rooms.
Some of these secret rooms contained magic props and some contained magic books. He put them all away, looked through them briefly, and found that they were valuable.
In the original plot, after Medivh died, apprentice Khadgar continued to move cart after cart of things from Karazhan, packed them in boxes, and transported them to Dalaran.
Including Medivh's artifact, Atiesh - the legendary staff of the guardian.
But there are so many good things in Karazhan that Khadgar didn't even finish moving them until he was trapped in Outland.
What an exaggeration!
Unfortunately, this is not a good thing for now.
because of these
It is also impossible to improvise and defeat the strongest mage immediately by studying the magic book, so this actually hinders Brian's treasure hunting ability.
Fortunately, hard work paid off. When the fifth secret room opened, Huang Shang finally smelled the breath of the dead from inside!
This time when I opened the door to the secret room, what appeared in front of me was an old man with a hunchback, wearing a black worsted attendant's uniform, sitting on the ground, his eyes closed, and he had no breath.
Brian asked: "Is he the butler Moros?"
Huang Shang nodded: "That should be the case. I'm sorry, Butler Moros, we are going to disturb your sleep!"
He stretched out his hand, but a magical barrier immediately rose to prevent adventurers who might join in from desecrating his corpse.
Due to Brian's character, he gloated a little: "Aha, do you want me to come?"
Huang Shang shook his head slightly, and did not let Enzos go. Instead, he handed over the original broom.
The barrier slowly disappeared, and Moros' body opened its mouth, and a round fragment the size of a lens fell out.
"Even after death, he was loyal and attached to Karazhan!"
Huang Shang bowed politely and picked up the fragments.
Brian also fell silent, but the dwarf girl suddenly changed her color: "I'm a little uneasy, are you sure you want to see it?"
This fragment is the characteristic space-time fragment of Karazhan, which can show things in the past or future.
To make even the ancient god N'Zos feel uneasy, Huang Shang knew that there must be information about that person in it.
He took a deep breath, touched N'Zoth's head, held her in front of him, and opened the fragment.
Whoosh!
An oval-shaped picture appeared, like a lens, showing a scene from Karazhan's past.
The protagonist in it is a man with his hair tied into a ponytail and dragged down his back. From the side, he seems to be quite old, and his beard and sideburns are already gray.
Of course, many powerful mages have such symptoms, including many twenty-five-year-old white-haired grandfathers.
The key is to dress up.
At first glance, it looks like it is made of coarse cloth, decorated with simple decorations, with a maroon hooded cloak draped over its broad shoulders, and the hat is not worn.
But this dress has nothing to do with simplicity. If you look closely, you will find that it is made of the finest silver wire. The workmanship is completely natural, and even the patterns are changing all the time.
Sometimes it is a natural elf, sometimes it is a soaring dragon, and sometimes it is a strange pattern.
However, the elves and dragons that Huang Shang had come into contact with were not as unique as the patterns on their clothes. Only the Red Dragon Queen could barely surpass them.
The lens deflects slightly.
You can see the butler Moros standing beside you, calmly watching the man record.
Finally, the man was on the notebook. Then he closed the book suddenly and moved his eyes over.
Ever since, Medivh's true face was finally revealed.
This middle-aged mage is naturally the guardian Medivh. He is only in his forties, but he looks very old. His whole face is full of wrinkles and fatigue, and his eyes are hidden under thick dark eyebrows, faintly...
Something flickered and flashed in these emerald green eyes.
This is actually Moros's induction.
He was too familiar with Medivh, even more so than Medivh's mother. No matter how deeply Sargeras hid, the old housekeeper still vaguely sensed something was wrong.
So Medivh was also staring at him.
No, at this moment Huang Shang, Brian and N'Zoth felt that Medivh seemed to be staring at them across time and space.
That kind of look is extremely strange.
It's neither looking down nor scornful, but a kind of tolerance.
It was as if everything they had was just a corner of the world, while Medivh was the entire starry sky and the infinite universe, embracing them.
In this kind of relationship, there is naturally no contempt or contempt, because you are a part of me.
This is even more outrageous than if I were your father.
After a moment, Medivh looked away.
Not to mention Brian's amnesty, even N'Zoth felt a sense of relief.
It was as if the Lord of the Pantheon, the Father of the Gods, who crushed Y'Shaarj to death in ancient times, had just passed by it.
That was so outrageous that I didn’t even dare to express it.
But this is an illusion.
The next moment, Medivh suddenly looked towards the camera.
This time, he was not looking at the butler Moros, but looking at the camera accurately, without blinking his eyes, and said: "Have you ever imagined the consequences of invading my territory?"
The wrinkles on his face suddenly stretched out, like a supreme god, just, ruthless, and violent.
As soon as those thick eyebrows intertwined, countless thunderclouds gathered and fell, crashing over.
"Sargeras!"
Huang Shang spit out this name in his heart.
There is no doubt that this is the dark incarnation of Medivh.
To be precise, this is the clone of Sargeras, who came back to the world in a womb.
This time, he is a mage.
Now, the two who had a brief confrontation in the Marvel Universe are staring at each other through time and space here again.
In just a moment, the Ashbringer behind Huang Shang suddenly trembled. He immediately pulled out the magic weapon and took a step back.
Just on his front and back feet, a green-blue flame suddenly rose from where he had just stood.
If it hadn't moved, it might have been burned to ashes by now.
"Horrible magic!"
Huang Shang did not hear Sir Lothar relaying Medivh's metaphor, but he could also imagine that this was actually turning back the sand in the hourglass of time.
It no longer falls vertically, but suddenly turns and attacks the target.
Even across time and space!
As a result, Huang Shang stepped back step by step, and a puff of flames rose from his feet.
It may look like you are dodging fireworks, but it is actually thrilling, and there is no mistake about it.
"Attack that piece!"
I don't know if Brian is too weak. This kind of time attack didn't go towards him at all. If it were someone else, he would have begged his grandfather to sue his grandmother. He would be very lucky. But Brian is not afraid of danger. Seeing that the situation is not good, this
Seeing that everything that happened in the past was going to be destroyed, I just picked up the double ax and chopped off the fragments.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Soon enough, Brian's decisive attack actually succeeded, and his two axes hit the fragments directly.
Wow!
The complete fragments shattered in response, and Medivh in the camera was also shattered. However, the pair of supreme god-like eyes seemed to be shattered into countless parts, distributed on every small fragment, looking at it in terror.
come over.
Wow!
The fragments fell to the ground one after another, and some even bounced onto the body of the butler Moros.
"Is this the end? What a pity, we didn't get any useful information from this fragment of the past!"
Brian stepped forward to pick up the ax and stuck it in his waist. Cold sweat was already covering his forehead.
That is to say, after reading a brief memory of the past, he didn't even find any useful information. It was like being chased by a series of monsters in the ruins, narrowly surviving, and the excitement was so exciting that he almost collapsed.
"How can there be no gain? Being able to meet Medivh in advance is the biggest gain!"
"but……"
"It's not over yet!"
In the middle of his words, Huang Shang suddenly dropped Nzos, who had been holding him stiffly in his hands, down.
Bang!
Under his feet, a flame actually rose up, the greenery inside was overwhelming, and the terrifying evil energy eroded everything, and then it fell on N'Zoth.
"hiss!"
N'Zos tried his best to twitch, but was burned to ashes.
"call!"
Huang Shang breathed out a breath.
This is when it really ends.
In magic, there is illusion, but it is relatively niche, but Medivh has obviously used it to his perfection and can deceive them.
If it weren't for his divine soul state of adversity, and if it were someone else, the Archmage would also be on the street.
After flicking the purple ashes in his hand, Huang Shang skillfully took out a purple sweet potato.
After a while, the dwarf girl stood up again and put her hands on her hips:
