Azeroth Trail of Light

Dick stood in the center of the Dalaran teleportation hall, hugged the tearful Miss Jaina affectionately, and then watched her, Archmage Modera, and a whole team of battle mages wearing Dalaran battle robes , disappeared into the blue portal.

With Nozdormu's personal guarantee, Dick finally escaped the tragic fate of being treated as a guinea pig, and told Antonidas in detail what he knew about Ebonchill and the first time After the story of the missing Archmage Alexis in the Orc War, Dick used the whereabouts of the only survivor of the accident, Archmage Dio, to reach an agreement with Antonidas.

He told the Kirin Tor Council of Six about the vague whereabouts of Master Dio, and helped Dalaran find the frost artifact Ebon Chill, but Dick also had a requirement, that is, Ebon Chill must be held by Miss Jaina, Until the eldest lady no longer needs this weapon.

Antonidas did not refuse this request. In fact, this mage leader who is well versed in human nature wanted Dick to make this request. In this way, the pressure from other members of the Council of Six would be completely transferred to Dick. body, especially knowing that Dick is very good at researching almost all artifacts, Dick will definitely become a target to attract the attention of the archmages, making this retrieval operation even more difficult. smoothly.

People's hearts are very complicated, especially in the face of the temptation of artifacts, there are almost no mages who will not be tempted.

Dick also named Archmage Modera to lead the team, that is, the expressionless old lady who accompanied Antonidas and Krasus. First of all, this Archmage specializes in fire magic, and Black Sandalwood is of little use to her. None, and secondly, in the previous history, Modera has already proved with practical actions that she treats Jaina as she treats her own daughter.

Almost after Jaina became a member of the Council of Six in the Kirin Tor, Modera stood behind her and helped her solve any problems she faced. This is an archmage who is absolutely trustworthy, although it is not very good. The old lady who dealt with.

After the blue light of the portal dissipated, Dick let out a sigh of relief. At this time, let Jaina go to the Burning Plains of the Southern Kingdom. Missy was involved in the ensuing brutal war.

Archmage, do you know anything about the recent situation in Silverpine Forest and Tirisfal Forest?

On the way to the Dalaran Visitor Center, Dick said to Antonidas who was walking beside him,

I have a hunch that the purpose of the undead's strange actions is probably Dalaran!

This assertion made Antonidas raise his white eyebrows. He touched his beard, thought for a moment, and made a gesture of please sit down to Dick. The two big men sat quietly in the magic hall. On the Violet Bench by the side of the road.

I don't quite know how you paladins define the direction of the war, but in my opinion and other archmages, according to the current army strength of the undead, they can't break through Dalaran, and they can't even shake Dalaran. have no qualifications.

Antonidas' tone was very flat. Obviously, he felt that everything was under control. For mages, this dismissive attitude is understandable. They have a powerful force that the world cannot understand. The ordinary tide of undead, Facing a group of violent mages, it's really not enough to watch.

But Dick stared at the gray-haired old mage with strange eyes.

Hey~Mr. Antonidas, where did your mysterious self-confidence come from? Not to mention anything else, during the Second Orc War, Dalaran was almost completely destroyed by the red dragons of the Dragonmaw clan. When it was rebuilt, because the mages used the power of the eye of Dalaran, As a result, Ner'zhul, the great orc warlock who has not yet become the Lich King, took a fancy to it. The death knight Talon-Gorefiend of the old tribe led the orc army to overturn the rebuilding Dalaran again.

This happened more than ten years ago. Did you ignore these two loud slaps so gorgeously?

Dick's strange eyes were quickly noticed by Antonidas, and the old mage remembered Dick's identity as a time traveler. Maybe this bad guy was watching secretly when Dalaran was at its worst. Well, this discovery made the old mage a little embarrassed, but he quickly corrected his posture.

Ahem. Don't worry, Dick Knight, we have reconstructed Dalaran's defensive circle. This time, it is not just to resist magic or the army. This time, I have enough confidence to block the attack of the sea of ​​undead. , not to mention, we have the assistance of Marshal Gaslis and the elite Gilnean brigade, the defense line of Silverpine Forest is unbreakable!

Seeing the old mage's firm expression and the faint hatred in his eyes, Dick sighed. For a person like Antonidas, once he made a decision, it was difficult to change it. With the tragic fall of King Terenas, it seems that the old mage has made up his mind to fight head-to-head with the undead.

This is also something that makes Dick very helpless. Whether it is the previous Anastarian or the current Antonidas, these plot characters are very paranoid. Now Dick is just a rising star. It is simply impossible to change their thinking and strategies before the plot begins.

What's more, Dick couldn't produce enough evidence to prove his guess. He couldn't say, hey, Archmage, I saw the scene of Dalaran being destroyed in time travel, so you listen to me.

The future is uncertain. This is the first truth that all mages learn when they come into contact with time magic.

So the status of time traveler is not enough to be an argument at all.

But Dick can't just sit back and watch Antonidas and Dalaran run wildly on the road to death. A large historical node has been triggered. This is no longer something that Dick can ignore if he wants to.

He thought for a while, changed his way of speaking, and no longer persuaded Antonidas to give up his idea, but planned to start from another aspect to find a way out for Dalaran.

Archmage, I heard you say that you and Mr. Medivh are friends, right?

Hearing these words, Antonidas' eyes flashed, like a late old man, he put the staff in his arms, took out a delicate ebony pipe from his pocket, and after taking a few puffs, With acrid smoke, he said,

Yeah, before Medivh went crazy, I was an ordinary senior mage in Dalaran. We once discussed the mystery of time magic in the form of pen pals. He is an out-and-out genius. He is the kind of person who can attract the attention of the whole world with every move, I even took him as my life goal, but what happened after that.”

The old mage shook his head, and it could be seen that he was also very saddened by Medivh's madness. This is probably the sympathy between geniuses and geniuses, but Dick obviously didn't pay attention to the old mage's friendship. After finishing speaking, Dick pursed his lips and lowered his voice.

Then, you must also know that Mr. Medivh has a son?

boom!

Under Dick's stunned gaze, the shocked old mage directly crushed the ebony pipe in his hand, but after a light yellow flash, the broken pipe returned to its original shape again.

This old man has great hands! Are you sure you're a mage and not a hidden berserker?

Dick's wild thoughts just went through his mind once, and he saw the old mage grabbing his shoulder with a solemn expression. After a while, the two of them appeared in a simple, but definitely not simple, meditation room.

Before Dick could recover, Antonidas grabbed Dick's shoulders and asked nervously,

Are you sure that Medivh left an heir? That child. Where is that child?

Uh, I saw that child in time travel, but it was only for a moment. I only know that child is called Madian. He should be living in seclusion with his guardian in the Twilight Forest. Uh, that place should be called Sunshine Forest now.

Dick stretched out his hand and rubbed his forehead,

With all due respect, Archmage, if you want to pass now, it is likely that the guardian will think you are an enemy with malicious intentions. The suffering that Mr. Medivh left to this world is too heavy. If that child The existence has been announced, I believe that even with the power of you and Dalaran, it will be difficult to protect him.

Dick's words made the joyful Antonidas look serious, and the old mage's joy was interrupted. Dick was right. Once the existence of Madian was announced, it would be very difficult to pass the Stormwind Kingdom alone. .

You know, the Kingdom of Stormwind, but the orcs summoned by Medivh almost destroyed the inheritance. Even the father of the current king died under the assassination of the orcs.

Also, Madian's mother is Garona, the legendary half-orc assassin who assassinated King Ryan. I have enough reasons to suspect that Garona, who disappeared in the Second World War, must also be secretly protecting her son, so , my suggestion is that you should handle this matter with caution.

Knight Furdick, you are right. This matter should indeed be handled with caution. From your knowledge, what does the existence of Median mean to this world?

The old mage stroked his beard. After realizing that Madian was troublesome, he threw the question back to Dick. With the wisdom of Antonidas, how could he fail to see that when Dick raised Median, there was clearly something in his words? , he has his own plans.

There is no doubt that Madian is a genius!

Dick looked directly into the eyes of the old mage, and he expressed his opinion openly,

Furthermore, this child probably holds the entry method of Medivh's mage tower, Karazhan. I heard that you lost control of it after the orc war? That place shouldn't just be left unused, and Due to the current situation, I think Dalaran should learn from the Knights of the Silver Hand and reserve a way out for itself.

Oh? How to say?

There was a flash of light in Antonidas' narrowed eyes.

I think it's a waste of money to let Karazhan be abandoned like this. It's better for Dalaran and the Stratholme warband to join hands and take this mage tower back into their hands. You see, I have sent special personnel to approach the The lakeside town of Deadwind Trail plans to establish the second branch base of the battle group. The war is coming. The northern border has not been stable for 10 years. Zhanluan is not a good learning environment, especially for those who have no self-protection in Dalaran Mage trainees who are more capable, why not take this opportunity to transfer to a more stable southern kingdom.

Dick shrugged.

I think the royal family of the Storm King will agree with this move, won't they? As wise as you are, you should know the truth about not putting all your eggs in one basket.

Frankly speaking, Dick has no confidence in the success rate of persuading Antonidas. This archmage may have been wise when he was young, but after he became old, he became extremely stubborn like an ordinary old man. , in the original history, after Dalaran was breached, only more than 2,000 of the more than 10,000 mages were massacred. It is hard to say that this has nothing to do with Antonidas's stubbornness.

If he can support Jaina's westward move earlier, Dalaran can at least keep more fire, so that it will not only appear as a neutral city that is not very strong in the next 10 years. In Dalaran 10 years later, to what extent is the green and yellow not received?

Even a blue dragon like Kalecgos can occupy a seat in the council of six in the Kirin Tor. Look at the current elite soldiers and generals. If nothing else, even the weakest big Mage Jaina, with one hand, can abuse the blue dragon that is useless except for love and oil on the soles of the feet.

To be honest, as a giant dragon, it is too weird to be able to get to the point of Kalecgos. If it was collapsed by a dwarf with a musket, if this happened to other dragons, he would probably commit suicide in shame, right?

But before Dick and Antonidas could reach a conclusion, a magic letter appeared on the old mage's table shining with purple light, and his face became gloomy after only one glance.

Alsace and his little partner, the lich Kel'Thuzad, who hadn't seen him for a long time, appeared in Tirisfal, the defense line of the Gilneas brigade was breached, and Dick's crow's mouth became the reality he had to face. Potential, pointing directly at Dalaran!
