Azeroth Trail of Light

Vol 4 Chapter 9: .The Black Knight on the Deadwind Path

Meri-Winter Wind controlled the magic carpet and climbed up some steep hillsides. The magical creation flew over the ground, setting off grass clippings and insects on the ground, but the few people sitting on it did not feel any obvious vibrations, like It's as comfortable as sitting on a moving grass.

Speaking of it, magical creations like magic carpets are rare in today's age. This is not to say that the materials are rare. In fact, the output of magic lines is much higher than that of Meili's time, but because of the concurrent repairs There are fewer and fewer tailoring wizards, which leads to the magical creation of magic carpet, which urgently needs powerful magic manipulation and requires sufficient tailoring skills to make more and more rare.

At least Dick has seen no more than 10 magic carpets in Dalaran and Quel'Thalas. It is worth mentioning that Antonidas has a collection of magic carpets. This is Jaina Miss told Dick.

But now the members of this squad are somewhat weird. When they set off, they were 3 people. Now they have become 4, except for Meili, who manipulates the magic carpet, and Mediian, who is playing with a dagger and a rough wolf tooth pendant, closing his eyes. In addition to the restorative Dick, there was another weird woman holding a green sickle and curling her body into a ball.

If you get close to her, you can see the slightly trembling body under the tightly covered man's robe, and a pinch of beast hair that leaks from the cuffs.

"Sit down, I want to speed up!"

Meili didn't seem to notice the weirdness of that woman at all. In fact, after you have been alone for 3000 years, even the strange things will hardly attract your attention.

The Necromancer threw a word, and Dick felt his body sway backwards suddenly. The entire purple magic carpet, like a galloping war horse, flew quickly along the other side of the mountain wall, from the hustle and bustle. Passed in the darkness above the night town, and slipped into the dark mountain road of the Upwind Trail without anyone seeing it.

Obviously, Meri did not intend to deal with those civilians who were terrified because of the darkness, and Dick was also a little depressed because of Willind’s uncooperative attitude. The group did not speak, and let the flying magic carpet take him. Into the thick fog that never dissipates on the Upwind Path.

Karazhan, this was once the most famous place in the Kingdom of Stormwind, because it was inhabited by the entire kingdom and even the guardian of the world, Medivh, the astral mage.

But since the beginning of the dark gate 0 years, this place has become a cursed place, because Medivh, who is dominated by the darkness in the soul, opened the dark gate and put the orcs eager to escape the dead planet into this world. This is the first time that the human kingdom has faced a large-scale war after hundreds of years of peace!

In fact, if it weren't for the great warlock Gul'dan abruptly rebelled and left after a few years, the entire human kingdom would no longer exist.

Medivh has also become a taboo name. For a certain period of time, that name means darkness. Of course, it is well-known that Marshal Lothar and Mage Khadgar rushed into Karazhan and killed Medivh. This The defeat of the orcs came.

But the actual situation is that Medivh has been fighting against the darkness in his soul since his childhood coma. It was the body of his mother, the former guardian Aegwynn, that turned into the darkness of Medivh’s soul. Titan, the strongest Sargeras!

Even his father, Royal Archmage Nelas-Aylan, died as a result.

It should be said that if Medivh had resisted for more than a decade, Azeroth would have been caught in the flames of war. But it doesn't really matter what the truth is, because Medivh is dead, in a decisive battle against the devil.

Dick always felt that this **** cold world owed this mage a generous forgiveness.

And the closer to Karazhan, the more serious this irritation became, and it even made him short of breath, making him clenched his fists unconsciously, until the silent Meili said,

"Stick to the spirit! Paladin, and the werewolf lady, if you don't want to lose your consciousness! Medivh has placed a "spiritual suggestion" circle here. People who are not sane will be trapped here forever!"

As he said, the old undead also pointed with his cane to the pile of white bones beside the magic carpet. The black eye sockets of the skull seemed to remind Dick of the terrible consequences. The paladin decisively bit the tip of his tongue with pain. Sober yourself up.

But Verinde, who was in the midst of the ups and downs of her life, did not have such great self-control. She yelled at Meili in a panic.

"I am not a werewolf!!!"

Then she jumped off the magic carpet and tried to escape. Of course, she didn't run a few steps before she was dragged back by Dick with a "thorn hook". The former priestess who was bound by the chain, and the current Miss Werewolf made a big noise. Just like crazy, Dick had no choice but to smash her in the head with one punch, which in exchange for precious silence.

An hour later, the fast magic carpet broke through the thick fog and entered an unsightly town that was obviously abandoned. Meili waved his hand, the magic carpet stopped in place, and a group of people jumped off the magic carpet. , Dick raised his head and saw the towering dark tower in front of him, but from the outside, this disrepaired mage tower had become ruins.

But Dick knew that the interior of the tower did not suffer too much damage. The several layers of space inside add up to cover an area even more than a small town. This is a direct manifestation of Medivh’s exquisite spatial magic skills. Of course, after losing its owner, this tower has also become a trap to kill lives.

The secret in it has not been unearthed after nearly 20 years, and only the truly brave can retreat from it.

"There are ghosts... troublesome monsters!"

Dick saw the faint red spots in the abandoned rooms of the town. They were a pair of eyes that contained abhorrence. They were ghosts, another form of undead, and worship kept escaping from Karazhan. Given the dark magic power, these ghosts are not only numerous, they are also more difficult to deal with than ghosts in other places.

In game terms, the ghosts here are not only high-level, but also elite monsters!

Gorehowl’s axe blade showed a golden sharp edge again, and Madian’s eyes widened. He had seen how sharp the golden blade was, like a knife pierced into butter, completely piercing the tough skin of those werewolves. After breaking open, the boy now dreams that he can have the same magic weapon.

"Don't disturb these poor people!"

Meili reached out and held down the battle axe in Dick's hand. The Holy Light touched the undead. A spark burst out from the tip of Meili's finger, but the old undead didn't care. He leaned on his wand, which was like an ordinary branch. As he walked forward tremblingly, he said,

"These are the civilians who believed in Medivh at the worst time of the year. He was the lord of this town at the time. It is hard to believe that Medivh, who is not covered by darkness, is actually a very good talker and a A curable drunkard. But the civilians here loved him very much. After Lothar and the others killed Medivh's body, the dark breath that spewed from the mage tower immediately killed and transformed these innocents. But they abide by their will before death and will not harm those who have a relationship with this tower. It just so happens that the three of us are this kind of people."

Having said that, the old mage looked impatiently at the female werewolf who was thrown aside and was in a coma.

"She is a trouble! Mr. Cavalier, because you don't know the so-called kindness! This tower won't let her in without Medivh's permission! Shut her in the cellar, where Medivh's wine was originally stored, these ghosts I dare not go to that place!"

Dick's expression changed, without a word, carrying the unconscious female werewolf, he walked towards the cellar to the left of the Karazhan gate. The old mage and Medien began to organize the defensive array that had been corrupted by the dark energy. Untie it, no one can enter this practitioner tower.

"It seems that Meri doesn't know yet, what's in the cellar..."

Dick withdrew his gaze from secretly observing the two people. He walked carrying the female werewolf while thinking quickly in his mind, "The Moon God's scythe fell in the hands of Velind, and the Apocalypse was taken away by Uther. In other words, there should be a handful of headwind harvesters in that cellar!"

Thinking of this, Dick couldn't help but blow a whistle, but because of the distance, Meri and Medien just didn't hear it. The Paladin walked to the cellar, and the heavy black wooden door had been violently broken open. .

If you didn't guess wrong, this should be the last time the old Mograine did a good thing.

Karazhan’s cellar is very deep. In the game, under this cellar is hidden the "reflection tower" secretly built by Medivh, that is, the inverted shadow mage tower, which is exactly the same as the tall tower on the surface, deep underground! It is said that it was the dark place built when Medivh was controlled by the soul of Sargeras. No one knew whether this shadow tower existed or not, and its usefulness.

But those players who are good at "exploration", after getting into the terrain through some "improper" methods, they found traces of the shadow tower. It is said that players who were lucky enough to have seen the horrible scene, and even had precedents of crying. That place is really terrifying!

Fortunately, Dick didn’t need to venture into that ghost place. He strode into the cellar with Villinde. The paladin carefully held the handle of the battle axe in one hand. This cellar where the artifact was hidden was not without danger. In fact, the old Mograine once told Dick that when he escorted Uther here more than once, he encountered some "black knights" who were riding black horses, wrapped in black armor and fighting with dark energy. "The attack.

Dick knew the details of the black knights who appeared and haunted. It is said that they were a group of brave con artists who tried to deceive Medivh with fake artifacts, but they were not lucky. At that time, it was the cruel Sargeras who ruled Medivh’s soul. .

The Dark Titans believed that they had been humiliated by mortals, so they cursed those liars with their supreme magic power. Unless they find enough real artifacts to pay off their debts, their souls will always be trapped in the most painful ones. In the curse, there is no escape! Even if you die, you will be pulled back from the kingdom of death by this curse and continue your mission!

So these black knights are madly pursuing artifacts in the entire world. Where there are artifacts, there must be the shadow of the black knights. In fact, even Verinde, the hapless priestess, is in the original history After finishing with the werewolves, the Moon God's sickle in her hand also fell into the hands of a black knight named Eredin, and was finally taken to the cellar of Karazhan.

Demon Sword Apocalypse, and Dick’s upcoming warlock artifact-Usalus, the Reaper of the Deadwind, the same is true. In short, these unlucky black knights have worked diligently for more than 20 years, and only found 3 artifacts. , The journey of redemption is simply indefinite, and the most tragic thing is that these artifacts were eventually taken away by the player.

In today's real world, the nightmare of this group of black knights is still going on. The name of this nightmare is "Dick".

Randomly found a house and hid the unconscious Villinde in the haystack on the edge of the house. Dick held the battle axe in both hands and walked quickly into the second floor of the cellar. This place can actually be called the crypt, because Along the way, Dick saw at least 20 dead bodies that had become bones.

It seems that those black knights are not only doing the work of searching for artifacts, but also occasionally doing other things.

Ten minutes later, Dick walked out of the cellar, clutching his **** arm. Meri gave him a surprised look, saw the wound cut by the sharp blade, and asked with a frown.

"I feel the breath of fighting, what is going on?"

"There are some difficult shadow monsters in the cellar. I cleaned them up."

Dick shrugged, then handed Merrie the key from his waist, "Let's go in, let's go in!"

The old undead didn't care, even in 3000 years, some secrets of this world were still not open to him.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

With the rusty iron door being opened under the barely functioning mechanism, Meri took the lead in pushing open the wooden door that had been in dust for more than ten years, and walked in. Mediian followed closely, and Dick was the last one to walk in. Mage Tower, he turned his head and glanced at the cellar door he was holding back with big rocks, then turned his head and walked into the door.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

When the wooden door engraved with fine patterns was closed, the rusty iron door fell again, and the whole upwind path fell into a rare silence again.

Dick exhausted his means, even using the fire of justice and the means of pressing the bottom of the box, to kill the three difficult black knights within ten minutes, and put the magical artifacts of the warlocks in his pockets. He has experienced it in the game. Dick knew all of this that the black knight's resurrection would take a long time, so he estimated that the comatose Verinde should not be in danger.

But he overlooked one thing. Villinde also carried an artifact on his body. For the black knight, it was like a person who was about to die of thirst seeing Qingquan. It would make people pursue crazy pursuits. Under the hunger of the soul, only 10 minutes after Dick left, the three piles of black ashes had begun to shake strangely.

But Miss Villinde was unaware of all this, and she was still in a deep sleep of dreams!
