Dalaran Ruins 3
I was surprised why they easily believed me, an outsider, after slowly contacting me, 21? I realized a fact that the army was not harmonious, the Lordaerons did not like the Rapids Castle people, and the Rapids Castle people also looked down on Lordaeron, while Dalaran, who was mixed among them, claimed to be noble and did not want to be with the lower class people on both sides.
Perhaps, it is not surprising that Princess Kurtiras, who is a nobleman and is considered an outsider, the young half-elf-half-human golden sword has become their leader. Therefore, the appearance of humans like me will not investigate my identity, even if I am now a human being disguised as a demon.
Perhaps my existence also gave them some factors of unity, because this made them think of the shadow of the alliance at that time. Yes, human beings always unite closely at the most dangerous times. I hope this time... I hope so.
At the same time, they all wanted to know some stories about the expeditionary army, and I only told them something about what I knew. As for the news about Aurelia that Jin Jian wanted to know the most, I could only say one thing: Like me, I couldn't meet... As for the details of the other expeditionary army's conquest, I could only tell them as much as I know, although those are almost what they already know...
After walking for a long time, we returned to their headquarters, passed through an inconspicuous cave, and came to a forest surrounded by mountains. I was surprised that under such circumstances, there could be such a paradise, perhaps because of some protection. Inside I saw more humans and elves, which almost had a village of similar numbers, and the debris and objects next to them, as well as a slow dripping waterfall, seemed to be able to make everyone persist for a long time.
As expected, everyone was very shocked and excited by my appearance. After finally, I could only enjoy the surrounding environment alone. Yes, the elf style and the dense green jungle made me sigh Sylvanas.
"Arelia?" Jin Jian didn't know when he came to me. Maybe she had been observing me in the dark for a long time, but that's fine, at least it means she should be wary of me, and now she should rest assured.
"Yes, I'm thinking about my elf... It's a pity that she's still there...in an endless darkness."
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked such a question..."
"No, this is nothing... I really didn't expect there would be such a place."
"Yes, this used to be my mother's secret base, and it was here that I was born."
"Prodmore really knows how to find a place." I, who had not passed through my brain, unconsciously spoke this sentence, which made Jin Jian confused.
"You know me, my father mentioned this to you?"
"Well, no... Actually, it was Kardga who told me that when he was peeping at your father's mind, he was thinking about your mother... and you."
I hesitated for a moment and went to deceive her. Yes, saying this can enhance the relationship between father and daughter. But the fact is another version...
"Is that so? I really can't believe he will..." She looked a little crying, as if she cared about his father's feelings for him, and I couldn't help but ask a question about this.
"Where is your mother?"
"She died in battle and was in the battle with the Burning Legion, but my father did not send troops to support us. He was just preparing to lead the troops to follow Jaina to Kalimdo, regardless of our lives or death."
I looked at her temper and said nothing, for fear of revealing any flaws, but I was really dissatisfied with Prodmore's approach. I really didn't expect him to do this, and why did his daughter treat him so differently.
"By the way, you said it was Alsace, who summoned you?" He quickly regained his peace and asked me again.
"Yes, he invited the Astral Mage Medivh, and then I came here, and he went to that world." I wrote it, and in order not to let her ask me again, I asked her a question.
"In another world, I heard an elf named Valila say that you went to the south, so why did you appear here?"
"Stormwind and the Union troops in the south were defeated by the Burning Legion, and we could not escape, so we were struggling that the refugees returned here and prepared to join the largest resistance army, General Garithers, who was hiding in the southwest of the Silver Pine Forest. But from the current situation, we were unable to move forward, and they were also renovating the original Gilness fortifications. There was no possibility of recovering the lost land." She explained the current situation, and at this moment she seemed to think that she should be the questioner. "By the way, where is Valilla?"
"She is dead, and she is with Alsace in the battle against the Black Dragon in Storm City..." He couldn't help but say this, but nothing wrong with it.
"I should have thought that this would end like this... Her temperament shouldn't have lived in this era."
"She died gloriously."
"Maybe we will be like this soon... The environment is getting worse and worse, and it may not be possible for me to hide here for too long."
Jinna kept sighing, and I could only find some better aspects about this.
"Everyone looks healthy." I looked at the survivors around me, but she quickly denied it...
"That's because the weak and sick people can't stand such hardships. There are no women and children here, only soldiers... because only we can fall behind in the constant transfer... The undead and the demon don't know how tired they are." She said disappointedly. "The demon is too powerful... Even Dalaran was destroyed by the King of Demons just waved his hand..."
Indeed, no one of them could believe that there was any power that could defeat him, and that it would be almost zero to survive in the hinterland occupied by the demons in this way, but there were always other special things that could give us a turning point. I thought of something that would definitely raise her spirit, and that was exactly what I was looking for this time.
"We can use Gul'dan's head, and we can transfer to a safe world, a temporarily safe place..."
"Gul'dan's head?"
"Yes, he might be able to help me find her and my elves." I hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to let them take risks with me. "This may be our only chance, and it is said to be in a treasure house in Dalaran."
"I think this matter needs to be discussed."
We gathered everyone, and after telling everyone my proposal, almost everyone agreed. Yes, the scene of leaving the cave is full of desolation and almost no living creatures, which really makes people feel that there is nothing else to be left to nostalgic for.
When it wasn't always agreed, some people still expressed their doubts, questioning whether the artifact was still there, and they were mainly some of the mages of Dalaran.
"The Burning Legion destroyed all the facilities, and the underground treasure room would definitely be looted. It is impossible to leave the magical artifacts that black dragons are greedy for there."
An older mage questioned that what he said seemed to make sense, but I knew their worries were unnecessary. The black dragon would not lie to me. Now I am hesitating about how to deal with this thing at that time. If I really use it for the mages here, I should give it to the black dragon, especially when he talked about the black dragon, I couldn't help but feel excited.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"Yes, the Black Dragon King also hoped to get him, when he was in Draenor!"
"Maybe he had this idea, because even they could not fight the Burning Legion at all." Another mage continued, and I nodded deeply about it, and I felt glad that I could have such a mage around me, but this kind of gratitude didn't make me happy because they were questioning my plan. "If this is true, why didn't the Black Dragon rob? After all, Archmond was not here.
"He was worried that when he would appear here, as long as it was corrupt, he could teleport unimpeded."
I advised again, and they still seemed very hesitant about this, so I continued to argue with the mages, and of course the words were naturally extreme. Finally, after the last old mage asked me, I got what I wanted.
"Why do you have to do this?"
"Because I'm going to do it for my elves...he's still there, needing this..."
My words made everyone think for a long time, and finally the elder wizard decided to implement this plan.
I don't know why the mage hadn't acted for so long, but only expressed his opinion when I said my "elves". Perhaps there was some abusive feeling in his heart... I thought so. We quickly made plans, so everyone took advantage of the darkness.
Yes, we did not let everyone participate in this plan. After all, for a mission like this, a small and elegant force must be dispatched to operate. The mage and some backbones of Jin Jian took the action and started to go smoothly. Without any obstacles, I originally thought there would be many demons here, but in fact there were almost no guards, and many people questioned this.
"How could there be no demon guarding here?"
"It must be here, it's not wrong. He sent me here for this purpose."
"Who is he?" asked Jin Jian next to him. I could only continue to lie to her. "It's Medivh." I didn't explain too much to her, but continued to move forward under the guidance of Dalaran's mage.
Under the eyes of the half-elf of the Golden Sword, we still didn't see any traces of the demon, but we still didn't dare to slack off and continued to move forward carefully. An hour later we arrived at the entrance, which was the same as the house that the Black Dragon showed me.
"Yes, it's here!" I smiled because not only that, but there were no enemies around me to guard here, but just as I questioned this, Jin Jian expressed doubts.
"Wait, I have lived here for more than 20 years, why don't I remember there is a house here?" I was shocked by his words, but I still didn't suspect that this was a trap, especially the older mage denied the words of Jin Jian.
"No, it's always there, it's just being disguised."
"But there was nothing here, I've been here."
"Believe me, this is the entrance." The old mage seemed a little impatient. No one heard any more about it. Instead, he entered there. Sure enough, there was a secret passage in the hidden part of the room, which led directly to the underground.
"There are no traces of demons here, it should be able to go straight there."
"But we cannot guarantee that there are no demons at the destination." Although I agree with the mages, I think it is too lack of precautions to say that they are too lacking in defense. They nodded after I finished speaking.
"Yes, there will definitely be enemies of the guardian artifact there..." a mage explained.
We continued to move forward according to the way he led, but I couldn't help but have a lot of doubts in my heart. First of all, it was hard for me to imagine that the demons had not visited here, and there were places like Dalaran without demons. Could it be that the black dragon had sent away the demons? But if that were the case, why didn't he come to take them in person! He also asked a mortal like me to do it. Unless there are any traps here that want us to test, yes, is it possible to use us to test the existence that threatens the black dragon?
I couldn't understand this, but at this moment we passed through the deep tunnel and finally arrived at the destination, which was a large space, with only one platform inside with an orc skull on it.
"That's right, it's here!"
"How could it be so obvious? Is there no trap?"
"I don't know, I can only try it."
The mage went as he said, but we were very worried when we saw this. He actually did this, but he was also very suspicious of the authenticity of this thing. After all, if it was a treasure house, it would be hard for me to believe that only this thing was placed in such an obvious position, and that all the others were looted. Are the demons so stupid that they all thought it was just the head of a worthless dead thief?
Just when he was puzzled, the mage picked it up, but as soon as he raised it, several sharp arrows suddenly shot him through, and he did not make a sound in pain, but threw it to another mage.
"Escape!"
"We didn't have time to mourn him because the room was collapsing, and a few of us rushed to the entrance of the cave. The continuous falling rocks and collapsed steps made many people submerged, and most of them were mages. Fortunately, we escaped here before completely collapsed and came outside the room. At this time, the sporadic demons and hellhounds noticed our movements and pursued us.
"Damn we were revealed." I could only resist and escape. Fortunately, the number of enemies was not large and most of them were small demons, so everything went smoothly. So I ran back, and after confirming that there was no demon tracking, everyone returned to the cave. At this time, we found that the cave had been completely destroyed, and there were corpses of soldiers and demons. When we saw this, the crowd was angry...
"How is this possible!"
"Last night, we just left, this massacre started. That was when we just left." Jian looked at the traces of death and began to sort out the incident. "There are traitors, otherwise the enemy would not know our secret base so quickly, and even when our elites went out..." When she said this, she turned her eyes to me. Yes, this was all after I appeared... "Are you really Turayan? Then why haven't I seen you use the Holy Light!"
"I was abandoned by the Holy Light..." Facing her serious look, I could not escape, so I could only answer according to the truth.
"Turayan was abandoned by the Holy Light? It's ridiculous." Almost all the soldiers surrounded me. "Who are you?"
I was speechless. Maybe I should continue to deceive them, but who would believe me now? But if I tell you my true identity, how can I explain that I, the undead, is not in the same vein as the Burning Legion?
"You are not Turayan, Turayan died in another world."
"Who the hell are you, bastard!"
.....
Everyone was full of anger and scolding, and finally I admitted something.
"Yes, I'm not Turayan, but I can tell you that I'm definitely not that traitor!" I couldn't help but say, but this is the truth that has been questioned by everyone. Because of their original spiritual sustenance, the former Expeditionary Army Corps was a fake...
Everyone raised their weapons toward me, but I was still just preparing to draw my sword and did not resist. Of course, that was before they attacked me, and at this moment, Jin Jian asked me a sharp question...
"Then what is your purpose, why do you pretend to be him, then what is your purpose for us? Is it this head?" He pointed to the head held by the mage and asked, "What does this mean to you."
"I said it was for my elves..." I said to her half-elves and half-person, and of course this would not impress her, and she showed up to me.
"If this is just your answer, then we can only be polite!"
They attacked me one after another, and just as I was about to resist, suddenly the two men turned into black dragons, one of whom was a soldier holding Gul'dan's head, and he grabbed me and flew towards the north. The other was to cover us to escape and began to shout my name.
"His Highness Alsace runs quickly. The task assigned to you by Lord Nesario has been completed. It will be our world in the future, hahahaha..." He laughed wildly, but I knew that he said this to frame me and to make me unrighteous. But just when I wanted to argue, the black dragon used some silent magic when I was not being caught. Although it was very short, I couldn't refute the angrily scolding me for a while...
Half a minute later, the black dragon that covered us knew that we were running far away, and stopped dealing with them, but flew towards the south opposite to us. At this moment, a sharp arrow suddenly shot me and penetrated my breastplate. The huge pain made my silent magic directly eliminate.
Yes, I know that only the longbow of the elite elves can do it, and this is obviously a golden sword. Of course, this contains her incomparable anger towards me. I am not right now. Thinking of this makes me feel no pain caused by piercing my breastplate, but I am just aiming at the fingertips.
"Very good, the black dragon's purpose has been achieved, right!" I said angrily, and my mind was extremely clear, perhaps because of the rebirth. In short, when he finished speaking the following words, I immediately realized the idea of this little black dragon.
"Yes, it's perfect, but one step away."
"It's not enough because there is another task that has not been completed, right? But I have to take you with me even if I die."
When I said this, I pulled up my sword and cut off his claws. The huge pain made him dance in the air, and I lost my support and fell down freely. Yes, this height could almost make me disabled, but when I fell heavily to the ground, I was not completely paralyzed. Maybe it was a layer of outer skin, or I had not yet realized my own situation, but the next thing went straight back. Because I suddenly saw a huge magma attacking me in the sky, and there was no way to hide...
