In the palace of Stormwind Fortress, Jiang Chen and Khadgar were warmly received by King Lane and Marshal Lothar. I have to say that Khadgar's identity as a mage from Karazhan is quite useful. At the subsequent banquet, he did not hesitate to say everything about the evil energy. ≯>≥≦
Hearing this news, Ryan and Lothar couldn't help being silent for a while, especially Ryan, he could never forget that when he was crowned Prince of Azeroth, at the coronation dinner Medivh, the guardian of Azeroth, who has been missing for many years, suddenly appeared and announced his return. Moreover, he was given an obsidian hourglass that symbolized the eternal prosperity of Azeroth.
This is a magical hourglass. The sand in the hourglass will keep flowing down from the top, and it seems that it will never fill the bottom half of the hourglass. However, just recently, after waking up in an ordinary morning, he found that the lower half of the obsidian hourglass was almost filled, and he felt a bad premonition at that time.
Sure enough, during this period of time, various places in the continent of Azeroth have been subjected to mysterious attacks frequently. It seems that there is an invisible and terrifying force that is stirring up the situation on the continent. Now, Khadgar and Jiang Chen have brought back The information further confirmed this matter.
"Medivh's disciple? Khadgar." Lothar said suddenly: "I haven't seen your teacher for a long time, I don't know, are you interested in going to Karazhan with me, evil It is no small matter to appear, we need your teacher's help, after all, he is the guardian of our continent of Azeroth."
"This......" Khadgar hesitated for a while.
"Go, let's go together." Jiang Chen said calmly, "Although some things are helpless, we have to face them."
No other words, at the moment, the three of them headed to Karazhan on a griffin.
Karazhan, located in the Deadwind Pass south of the Redridge Mountains, is an ancient magic tower secretly built by the Tirisfal Council a long time ago. The reason why it was chosen in this remote southern mountain was because There is an unusually strong magical energy there.
Medison once used a metaphor to describe this uncertainty: Time in the concept of ordinary people is like a clock. Every moment, where the hands of the clock goes is certain. His tower is like an hourglass , people cannot know the movement of every grain of sand in the hourglass at every moment, those chaotic illusions are like these sands, but the final effect of the hourglass is like a clock, time advances in a characteristic direction, because in the end every grain of sand will all drop to the bottom.
In the past, Karazhan also had a golden age. As the lord of Karazhan, Medivh ruled a small town under the tower, and dug a large wine cellar under the town to store wine. There were so many, even Medivh hired dozens of people to look at the cellar.
Ser Lothar and King Llane have been Medivh's best friends since childhood. Medivh nestled in the tower all day, rarely going out on his own initiative. Therefore, the place where the three good friends meet is usually at Medivh's house. The king's trip is naturally accompanied by the princes and nobles. So at that time, Karazhan was full of people every day, and the opera house and dance hall were often full.
However, as the three of them got older, Ryan's visits became less and less. On the other hand, despite being suppressed by Medivh's power, Karazhan's visions occasionally appeared and were encountered by visitors, so rumors that Karazhan was haunted gradually spread. Residents in the town thought of their eccentric lord who rarely showed up, and the weird light source in the tower, and believed that these were evidence of haunting, so they moved away one after another. Finally, the whole town was abandoned.
As a result, the once glorious Karazhan was dying, and now, Ta himself and his two most loyal servants, a man (Moros—the housekeeper) and a woman (Cook—the chef).
"Is Medivh there?" Getting off the backs of their respective griffins, as a former regular customer Lothar, he still asked the butler Moros who came to greet him and others quite familiarly.
"Of course." Moros sighed, "It's been a long time since Your Excellency was named Marshal of the Kingdom."
"No way, controlling the kingdom's military is far more difficult than I imagined." Lothar said helplessly: "Let's not talk about these things, lead me to see Medivh."
"Everyone, please." Moros saw that Lothar seemed to be in a hurry, and immediately led Jiang Chen and the others into the tower.
"The space here?" The moment Jiang Chen stepped into Karazhan, he felt the wonderful changes of space and time in an instant, which made him faintly feel an inexplicable excitement. Irregular time and space, then his strength will inevitably have a huge leap.
The hall on the first floor is very empty, and there is a huge magic pool in the middle, which contains the purest magic energy, with a dazzling blue fluorescence, but Jiang Chen can clearly feel that this seems to be pure magic. In the pure magic pool, there is still a huge evil energy hidden indistinctly.
Going up, the second floor is a huge library, which contains the most abundant collection of books in the entire Azeroth. To be honest, Jiang Chen really has a plan to completely empty it, and he really does. Yes, after he released Hong, he asked her to collect all the contents of all the books here.
Khadgar also stayed here. For some reason, he didn't seem to intend to meet his teacher.
Helpless, only Jiang Chen and Lothar were left to follow Moros all the way up to the third floor. On the third floor, Medivh was making a huge clay puppet. Although this puppet was not finished yet, The incessantly overflowing energy aura clearly showed that once this puppet was completed, it would possess extremely terrifying power.
"Medivh!" Seeing his old friend, Lothar immediately spoke with some excitement.
"Lothar, you are here, but please leave me alone." Medivh responded while doing his own work: "There is also this Mr. Eastern Mage from another world, although I don't I mind if you look through my books, but isn't it a little too rude for you to let your assistant record all my treasures directly."
"Then I'm really ashamed of my rudeness." Jiang Chen said with a smile: "Guardian of Azeroth, we finally meet!"
"Nice to meet you." Medivh finally stopped his movements and looked up at Jiang Chen. Two extremes from different worlds, as the eyes met, an invisible ripple suddenly spread. open.
This is definitely a tragic legend. His mother was Aegwynn, the guardian of the previous generation. At the beginning, she only thought of getting rid of the mercy of the Tirisfal Council and giving birth to a child to inherit her knowledge and power. However, she never expected that Sargeras, whom she thought she had eliminated many years ago, had already quietly sneaked into her body, and finally invaded the body of the unborn Medivh. So, despite appearances, Medivh has inherited all of the Guardian's powers. However, as Medivh grew up, the dark power of Sargeras gradually emerged.
Medivh's mind has been struggling against Sargeras' will, and he never gave up his efforts to regain his physical and mental freedom. This seemingly never-ending tug-of-war has resulted in Medivh's cyclical personality swings that alternate between calm and lucid and insane. In the eyes of outsiders, he seems to make an incomprehensible decision all of a sudden, and often completely overturns his previous views and opinions on a certain matter. When the battle between the two wills is too intense, beyond the limit that this body can bear, Medivh will fall into a state of mental breakdown, completely losing the ability to respond to the outside world.
When his mind took control, Medivh was a kind and wise man who devoted himself to protecting the highest leaders of humanity, believing that the interests of the kingdom always came first. For many years, he guarded Lordaeron, breaking down the violent attacks of the invaders time and time again, and the people regarded him as the indestructible protector of Azeroth.
He treats all races equally, without any narrow prejudice. When hearing the legends and customs of a certain race, no matter which race the narrator comes from, he sincerely respects each other and shows the same strong interest in these legends and cultures from different regions.
However~IndoMTL.com~Once Sargeras gained the upper hand, Medivh's character would change drastically. "He" will become sullen and withdrawn, almost completely unrecognizable to his closest friends and completely indifferent to strangers. "He" behaves secretly, and often goes out on long journeys alone suddenly. When no one was around, this "Medivh" would not hesitate to use spells to drive away visitors who disturbed him, or simply kill them. But for "his" plan, the identity of the leader of Lordaeron is really a very important cover, so in public, "he" is still careful enough not to easily expose Sargeras' true character.
When Jiang Chen shook hands with him, the primordial spirit who had reached the level of Sanxian could clearly feel that the other party had been severely eroded by the power of demons. This situation undoubtedly doomed the subsequent tragedy, and the best friends turned against each other. , bear the eternal infamy, and sink forever!
And Sargeras also seemed to feel the threat from Jiang Chen, and tried hard to hide his existence, leaving his body completely under the control of Medivh. Therefore, after hearing Lothar tell all the reasons, he immediately responded in a deep voice: "The matter is of great importance, and I will immediately follow you to the Stormwind Fortress." A huge magic circle came out: "Let's go, I think, no matter how you compare, the speed of my teleportation magic should not be slower than that of the griffin. Time is exactly what we lack most now... ..." (to be continued.) 8
