American comics: Starting with Luke the Maker

The mages of this world have never understood caution and restraint. Or perhaps they once did, but later generations gradually became slaves to power, forgetting the hidden dangers that magic brought.

Agatha had seen that period of history from ten thousand years ago, because the elves used arcane energy without restraint. Although it created a glorious civilization, it also brought them enormous disasters.

And the magic that Agatha brought was even more dangerous than so-called arcane magic and other types of magic. It was a system of spells that must be used with caution. They might be more powerful and even more unbelievable, but once the hidden dangers were triggered, the resulting disaster, in Agatha's view, would probably not be any less than the disaster of ten thousand years ago.

In the eyes of those dimensional demon gods, the value of this world was simply an unparalleled treasure. Once they obtained news of this world, they would probably try to find it at all costs.

Of course, Agatha also understood that Aegwynn would not impart the original magic system, but rather a system that had been modified and rebuilt by the two of them.

Simply put, the method was the same, but the direction of borrowing power did not point to the dimensions of those demon gods. After all, this world was not lacking in energy. Although these energies would also have their own attributes and costs, compared to dimensional energy with an owner, the cost and difficulty would be greatly reduced.

This was evident from the surprisingly large number of mages here.

Although the mages of Dalaran had always believed that the conditions for becoming a mage were very harsh, in Agatha's view, her world was truly harsh for mages!

Because if a mage went wild in that other world, it would really bring a huge disaster to the world. In addition to having extremely high talent, one also needed to have a strong mind.

The most important thing was that one had to obtain the approval of a relatively orderly demon god. Because in her world, that planet did not have any high-dimensional spellcasting energy.

Even the so-called Asgard, its magic system was built on the power of the World Tree. And that kind of energy, strictly speaking, was only good as an energy source to assist magic.

In short, comparing the spellcasting environments of the two sides was simply unfair.

Aegwynn's improved magic system could indeed avoid some troubles, but in the end, it was still a borrowing system. It was just the difference between having an owner and not having an owner. But Agatha's magic concept from beginning to end was that magic has a price! What was the price of this improvement, this magic? Agatha had no way of guessing.

The destruction of a plane?

Or an even more unrestrained proliferation of magic?

Apart from the faint sense of unease in her heart, Agatha could accept someone verifying the cost for her in advance.

Aegwynn unreservedly took out her improved magic system. In fact, she only took out the most core and basic part, which was how to borrow energy from external space.

As long as there was energy, mages could cast spells.

If you locked up the energy of this planet, then we'll just change to another place to draw energy. Mages are smart people. Once they know the method, with their ability to integrate and understand, unless you lock up all the energy in this universe, the mages here will no longer be restricted by energy.

Even Prince Kael'thas accepted and learned this magic system. He believed that this new magic system would bring a huge impact and change to the existing magic. And the elves, as the homeland of magic, would definitely need this magic system.

After all, after learning and understanding it, one would understand how powerful this system was. At least, at least, he could use more energy to cast spells. Being able to use more energy was equivalent to being able to release more powerful magic. This indirectly increased his upper limit of strength.

Once someone broke this method down, kneaded it, and stuffed the method bit by bit to them, they would soon be able to grasp the essence of it, quickly get started, and form a certain combat effectiveness.

But the only pity was that not everyone could successfully use this magic system. Even for them, the top archmages of Dalaran, it was very difficult and obstructed to fully exert the power of this magic system.

It had nothing to do with themselves, but it had a lot to do with the barriers in this world.

The barriers set up by the Creation Titans had allowed this planet to safely evolve to this day. Although the barriers had a few loopholes due to the changes ten thousand years ago, it was still the biggest protective measure for this planet.

It could block many dangers from the external starry sky for the lives of this planet, just like an unbreakable tortoise shell.

In the past, it was naturally not a problem, but according to the new magic system, if one wanted to maximize the role and power of the new magic system, then this protective shell would instead be an invisible obstacle for mages.

Not everyone could bypass the barrier like Aegwynn and other archmages and have the ability to explore the outer regions.

"The price and hidden danger may be the erosion and influence of different magical energies on people." After understanding this magic system, Antonidas quickly realized the danger of this magic based on his own experience and Aegwynn's reminder.

In the past, they used arcane energy and elemental energy, but now, this magic system would bring a variety of magical energies in the future. Even dangerous energies such as shadow and fel energy would inevitably be contacted and borrowed by mages. At this time, the moment to test people's spirit and will had arrived.

Although Aegwynn and Agatha provided some skills for filtering and converting energy, that knowledge was too profound and complex. It was hard to say whether any mages would want to take shortcuts, not care about these filtering and conversion skills, and directly and rudely borrow energy and then use it.

This kind of random borrowing of energy, as Aegwynn and Agatha reminded, would inevitably attract huge troubles in the future! The only thing that could temporarily reduce the impact was for the archmages of the Council of Tirisfal to first find an energy-rich plane, set it up as an energy source, and then let subsequent mages borrow energy according to coordinate magic and space magic.

Once the energy of one plane was exhausted, they would switch to another.

But researching this supporting magic would take time.

Especially, if the locked lock was opened in the future and everything returned to normal, would their actions of mobilizing so many people and investing huge resources and manpower face some questions?

Antonidas and other archmages were thinking a bit hard. But if they wanted to restore the magical strength of their high-level members, they could only firmly choose the path of the new magic system for the time being.

……

Stratholme.

"Must you leave?" Uther looked at Lobi Hua and the Windrunner sisters who came to say goodbye, his face a little dim. Although these elves were too proud, they had indeed helped a lot in Stratholme. Even his escape from the orc camp was due to the rescue of the Windrunner sisters.

Now every bit of strength in Stratholme was extremely important, and Archmage Lobi Hua had given corresponding answers for reference on many difficult problems. To be honest, Uther didn't want him to leave at this moment.

"I don't want to either, but the situation with His Majesty Anasterian is very bad. The orcs used an unknown creature to occupy the Sunwell and turned the surrounding area into a poisonous area. I have to go to Dalaran next to meet with the archmages there and Prince Kael'thas." Lobi Hua shook his head, his tone helpless.

"We can't help much here anymore. You have handled everything very well. Whether I leave or not will not have any impact for the time being. What's more, isn't that mage Kel'Thuzad coming soon? I believe he can replace my role here."

Uther had also seen the letter that the elven messenger had delivered to Lobi Hua. The situation the elves were facing was indeed extremely bad. If they couldn't figure out a way to contain the giant beast and the poisonous clouds it created, then soon, even if the elves were unwilling, they would have to leave their homes again and look for a new gathering place.

In this case, it was difficult for Uther and his teacher to retain Lobi Hua. The only pity was that with Lobi Hua's help, the dangerous plague beast had not been found out yet.

Under the circumstances that profound magic, especially space, could not be easily used, Uther took the initiative to contribute a precious griffin as a means of transportation for Lobi Hua and his group. It could allow Lobi Hua and them to reach Dalaran faster, pick up Prince Kael'thas and reinforcements, and then rush to Quel'Thalas.

Looking at the griffin soaring into the clouds with people, Uther's heart was inexplicably covered with a shadow. He only felt that from this moment on, it seemed that the situation was about to completely get out of control.

This sense of unease came so suddenly and inexplicably, and after hovering in his mind for a circle, it quickly disappeared. Uther retracted his gaze, shook his head, and looked at the orc camp rooted in the mountains in the distance, his heart heavy.

Even during the day, Stratholme was quiet. Except for going to the church for prayer and holy light baptism and receiving food, residents almost never went out. This made the city look deserted in the drizzle, inexplicably giving it a sense of death.

……

"Who is summoning me!"

A grumbling sound came from the dark door, and evil and powerful energy surged out of the opened summoning gate.

Before Kel'Thuzad could speak, he heard the majestic voice inside the door exclaim in surprise.

"I smell the sweet breath of souls! No less than the Nine Realms, even higher quality souls! The flashes of those souls, hell! I smell Luke's aura! What kind of world did Luke find!"

"Great being..."

"Don't speak yet!"

Kel'Thuzad was about to open his mouth when he was impatiently stopped by the person inside the door. A huge finger stretched out from the door, but the door was too small, and even the fingertip could not reach out, which made the behemoth inside the door become furious.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Why is the door so small! Why can't I feel your coordinates? Are you so far away from me? Why is your energy so weak? Where are you? The energy I radiated over is losing too much!"

"Great being, this is Azeroth! A world shaped by the Creation Titans. This planet has powerful barriers. Your power is too strong. It is difficult for me alone to summon you over," Kel'Thuzad quickly said. The magic power he had prepared at this moment was rapidly being consumed. Just maintaining the door was already making him feel strenuous.

Especially just now, when that finger wanted to squeeze in with brute force, he was almost drained in an instant! If the other party hadn't stopped in time, he might have died on the spot.

"Damn it, hold on a little longer!"

A tide-like force of hell poured out of the door, pouring into Kel'Thuzad's body at all costs. Kel'Thuzad was infused with powerful energy and was almost burst. His soul and life form inevitably underwent distortion under the influence of the force of hell.

"High-quality souls! High-quality creatures! High-quality world! I can't wait to come over, but I am too far away from you, and the energy I transmit is losing a lot. This is a reward for you! Next time, next time, I hope the door you open can at least let one of my avatars pass.

Find Luke! Obey him! When I come, you will receive all the rewards you want!" The voice inside the door became weaker and weaker, and under the influence of the retreat of power and the barriers, it disappeared into this world along with the door.

"She didn't lie to me! Powerful power! Vast knowledge!"

Kel'Thuzad's suppressed laughter echoed in the dark night. At this moment, his body was surrounded by surging hellish power, and the forest white flames that could burn souls were burning uncontrollably on his body. After personally feeling the aura of the powerful being inside the door, Kel'Thuzad uncontrollably developed some kind of worship for it.

Kel'Thuzad could feel that he and the other party had established some kind of mysterious connection. Although this connection was temporarily interrupted by the barriers and different universes. But accepting the other party's power was equivalent to accepting some kind of power imprint.

His soul was marked by the other party!

This was certainly a restriction, but it could also be said to be a protection. At least, he didn't have to worry about soul torment and danger in the future.

Similarly, the power he had now obtained had far exceeded that of the mages of Dalaran.

Forbidden research?

Heh heh heh.

Antonidas?

Heh heh heh.

Those stupid people simply didn't understand what a great path he was walking on! When he met that Speaker Antonidas again, the other party might have to change his attitude.

"More powerful power! More rewards!"

An irresistible whisper involuntarily sounded in Kel'Thuzad's mind, and his eyes vaguely looked at his destination.

Stratholme!

And a place further away from Stratholme.

The Sunwell!

The energy of the Sunwell should be able to summon a larger door, right?
