Azeroth Trail of Light

Chapter 149 9. The Black Knight of Deadwind Pass

Meili-Nongfeng controlled the magic carpet and climbed up some steep hillsides. The magical creation flew over the ground, stirring up grass clippings and bugs all over the place, but the few people sitting on it didn't feel obvious vibrations, just like It's as comfortable as sitting on moving grass.

Speaking of which, magical creations like magic carpets are rare in today's age. This is not to say that the materials are rare. There are fewer and fewer tailors, which makes magic carpets, which are in urgent need of powerful magic manipulation and skilled tailoring skills, 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 treasured magic carpet. Miss told Dick.

But now the members of this team are somewhat weird. There were 3 people when we set off, but now there are 4 people, except for Meri who is manipulating the magic carpet, and Madian who is playing with a dagger and a rough mace pendant. In addition to Dick, who was resting his mind, there was another strange woman who curled her body into a ball with a green sickle in her arms.

If you get close to her, you can see the slightly trembling body under the tightly covered man's robe, and a couple of wild animal hairs leaking from the cuffs.

"Sit tight, I'm going to speed up!"

Merry didn't seem to notice the woman's oddity at all, in fact, when you've been alone for 3,000 years, even the oddest things are hard to attract your attention.

After the Necromancer threw down a word, Dick felt his body sway back suddenly, and the entire purple magic carpet, like a galloping war horse, flew quickly along the other side of the mountain wall, flying away from the hustle and bustle. In the darkness above the night town, he slipped into the dark mountain path of Deadwind Pass without anyone seeing him.

Obviously, Meri did not intend to deal with those civilians who were extremely frightened by the darkness, and Dick felt a little depressed because of Velinde's refusal to cooperate. The group did not speak, and let the speeding magic carpet take him away Into the thick fog that lingers on the Deadwind Trail all year round.

Karazhan used to be the most famous place in the Kingdom of Stormwind, because here lived the entire kingdom and even the guardian of the world, the star mage Medivh.

But since the 0th year of the Dark Portal, this place has become a cursed place, because Medivh, who is dominated by the darkness in his soul, opened the Dark Portal and released the orcs who were eager to escape the death planet into this world. This is the first time the human kingdom has faced a large-scale war after hundreds of years of peace!

In fact, if the great warlock Gul'dan hadn't suddenly betrayed and left a few years later, the entire human kingdom would probably cease to exist today.

As a result, Medivh became a taboo name. In a certain period of time, that name meant darkness. Of course, it is widely known that Grand Marshal Lothar and Master Khadgar rushed into Karazhan and killed Medivh. Only then did the orcs fall.

But the reality is that Medivh has been fighting against the darkness in his soul since the coma when he was a child. It was transformed from the body of his mother, the former guardian Aegwynn, into the darkness of Medivh's soul. Titan, Xeon Sargeras!

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

It should be said that if Medivh had resisted for more than ten years, Azeroth would have been caught in the flames of war long ago. But it doesn't really matter what the truth is, because Medivh is dead, in the final battle against the demon.

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

And the closer he got to Karazhan, the more serious this annoyance became, and it even made him short of breath, making him clenched his fists unconsciously, until Meri, who had been silent all this time, said,

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

As he said that, the old undead pointed to a pile of white bones next to the magic carpet with his cane. The black eye sockets of the skeleton seemed to remind Dick of the terrible consequences. Let yourself wake up.

But Velinde, who is in the ups and downs of her life, doesn't have such great self-control. She panicked and shouted at Merry,

"I'm 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 the "thorn hook lock". As if going crazy, Dick had no choice but to punch her on the head, which bought the precious silence.

An hour later, the fast magic carpet broke through the thick fog and entered an ugly town that had obviously been abandoned. Mei Li 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 Tower of Darkness in front of him, but from the outside, this dilapidated mage tower had already turned into ruins.

But Dick knew that the interior of the tower did not suffer much damage. The sum of the several layers of space inside even covered an area larger than that of a small town. This was a direct manifestation of Medivh's exquisite space magic attainments. Of course, after losing its owner, the tower has also become a life-killing trap.

After nearly 20 years, the secrets have not been discovered, and only the truly brave can escape from it.

"There are ghosts here... troublesome monsters!"

Dick saw the red spots that appeared and disappeared in the abandoned rooms of the town. They were pairs of eyes filled with hatred. They were ghosts, another form of undead, and they were constantly escaping from Karazhan. Given by the dark magic power, these ghosts are not only extremely numerous, but 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!

The golden edge of Gorehowl's ax appeared again, and Median's eyes widened. He had seen how sharp the golden blade was before, just like a table knife piercing butter, and the tough skin of those werewolves was completely wiped out. Broke, the boy now also dreams of having the same magic weapon.

"Don't bother these poor people!"

Merry stretched out his hand to hold down the battle ax in Dick's hand, the holy light touched the undead, a spark burst out from Merry's fingertips, but the old undead didn't care, he leaned on his staff like an ordinary tree branch, Walking forward tremblingly, he said,

"These are the commoners who still believed in Medivh at the worst time. He was the lord of this town at the time. You may find it hard to believe that Medivh, who was not shrouded in darkness, was actually a very easy-talking person, and a helpless A curable alcoholic. But the civilians here love him very much. After Lothar and the others killed Medivh's body, the dark aura emanating from the mage's tower immediately killed and transformed these innocent people. But they abide by their will before death, and will not harm anyone related to this tower, and it just so happens that the three of us are all such people."

Having said that, the old mage glanced impatiently at the unconscious werewolf who was thrown aside,

"She's a nuisance! Sir, because you don't know mercy! This tower won't let her in without Medivh's permission! Shut her up in the cellar where Medivh's wine used to be, these ghosts Don't dare to go to that place!"

Dick's expression changed, and without a word, he carried the unconscious werewolf and walked towards the cellar on the left side of the gate of Karazhan. The old mage and Madian began to sort out the defensive circle that had been corrupted by the dark energy. Unlock it and no one can enter this mage's tower.

"It seems that Merry still doesn't know what's in the cellar..."

Dick withdrew his eyes from secretly watching the two of them, and while walking with the female werewolf on his back, he thought quickly in his mind, "The Luna sickle fell into Velinde's hands, and Apocalypse was taken away by Uther. In other words, there should be a Deadwind Harvester in that cellar!"

Thinking of this, Dick couldn't help blowing a whistle, but due to the distance, Meri and Madian just pretended not to hear it. The paladin walked to the cellar, and the thick black wooden door had been violently broken open. .

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

The cellar in Karazhan is very deep. In the game, under this cellar is hidden the "Reflection Tower" secretly built by Medivh, which is an inverted shadow mage tower that is exactly the same as the surface tower, and goes deep into the ground! It is said that it was the dark place that Medivh built when he was controlled by the soul of Sargeras. No one knows whether this shadow tower exists or not, and its purpose.

However, those players who are good at "exploring" found traces of the shadow tower after getting stuck in the terrain through some "improper" methods. It is said that players who were lucky enough to see the terrifying scene even had a precedent of being scared to cry. That place is really scary!

Fortunately, Dick didn't have to take risks in that ghostly place. He strode into the cellar with Velinde on his shoulders. The paladin carefully held the handle of the battle ax with one hand. The cellar where the artifact is hidden is not without danger. In fact, old Mograine once told Dick that when he escorted Uther here more than once, he met some "black knights" who rode black horses, wrapped in black armor, and used dark energy to fight. " attack.

Dick knew the details of those black knights who appeared and disappeared. It is said that they were a group of daring liars who tried to deceive Medivh with fake artifacts, but they were not lucky. The one who ruled Medivh's soul at that time was the brutal Sargeras .

The Dark Titan thought that he had been humiliated by mortals, so he used his supreme magic power to curse those liars. Unless they found enough real artifacts to pay off their debts, their souls would always be trapped in the most painful place. There is no escape from the curse! Even if you die, you will be pulled back from the kingdom of death by this curse, and continue your mission!

As a result, these black knights frantically pursued artifacts throughout the world. Wherever artifacts appear, there must be shadows of black knights. In fact, even Velinde, the unlucky priestess in the original history After dying with the werewolves, the Luna Scythe in her hand also fell into the hands of a black knight named Eredin, and was finally taken to the cellar of Karazhan.

The same is true for the magic sword Apocalypse, and the warlock artifact that Dick is about to acquire - Ulthalus, and the Reaper of the Wind. 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 far away, and the most tragic thing is that these artifacts were eventually taken away by the players.

But in today's real world, the nightmare of this group of black knights continues, and the name of this nightmare is "Dick".

He found a random house, and hid the unconscious Velinde in the haystack on the edge of the house. Dick held the battle ax in both hands, and walked quickly to the second floor of the cellar. This place can actually be called a tomb, because Along the way, Dick saw at least 20 corpses that had turned into white bones.

It seems that those black knights are not only looking for artifacts, but also occasionally do other things.

Ten minutes later, Dick came out of the cellar clutching his bleeding arm. Merry looked at him in surprise, saw the wound cut by the sharp knife, and asked with a frown,

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

"There are some nasty shadow monsters in the cellar, I cleaned them out."

Dick shrugged, then handed the key at his waist to Merry, "Come on, let's go in!"

The old undead didn't care. Even after 3000 years, some secrets of this world still haven't been opened to him.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

As the rusty iron door was opened under the barely functioning mechanism, Meri pushed open the wooden door that had been dusty for more than ten years, and walked in, followed closely by Madian, and Dick was the last to walk in. In the mage tower, he glanced back at the cellar door which he had firmly resisted with a big stone, turned his head and walked into the door.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

When the wooden door carved with exquisite patterns was closed, the rusty iron door fell down again, and the entire Adverse Wind Path fell into a rare silence again.

Dick exhausted all means, even using the fire of justice and the bottom of the box, and within ten minutes, he killed the three difficult black knights, and took the magic weapon of the warlock into his pocket. After all this, Dick knew that the resurrection of the black knight would take a long time, so he estimated that Velinde, who was unconscious, should not be in danger.

But he overlooked one thing, Velinde also carries a divine weapon, to the black knight, it is like seeing a clear spring when a person who is about to die of thirst will make people crazily pursue it. Under the hunger of the soul, only 10 minutes after Dick left, the three piles of black ashes had already begun to shake strangely.

But Miss Velinde was completely unaware of all this, and was still in a deep sleep of sweet dreams!
