Chapter 475 Mortal Kills God
Lorraine looked up, and the illusory shell of the Void Beast Faceless vanished. Kel'Thuzad had achieved his goal, absorbing the Faceless Beast's protective shield through the Scales of Souls, thus exposing its core...
Even void creatures have tempers; realizing the danger, it fought back like a cornered beast.
The instant Kel'Thuzad used his clone to manipulate the Frost Orb and orchestrate his minions' actions, the Void Phantom actively compressed its own size. The Voidwalker, which had previously filled almost half an island, shrunk to roughly the same size as Kel'Thuzad, about ten meters tall.
Although the target is still obvious, it has become much more low-key than before when it was overwhelming.
More importantly, its size shrunk voluntarily, and the Great Lich's soul chains suddenly lost their target... It clipped through the void, demonstrating the existence of intelligence in void creatures. The Great Lich's chains lost their target, almost causing Kel'Thuzad to trip and fall.
This kind of advanced magic doesn't mean that simply retracting the interruption will immediately disconnect the connection.
The backlash and shock caused even the Archlich Kel'Thuzad to be briefly paralyzed... His magical flow was disrupted, and the energy from the backlash prevented Kel'Thuzad from continuing his area-of-effect attacks with the Frost Orb. With the pressure from above reduced, the Blood Elf Archmage Romans immediately followed up...
He charged straight toward the raised cliff on the left side of Atonement Isle, his target clear, and Terra was overjoyed...
Romans's dragon eagle let out a mournful cry, lowered its head and nestled against "Ballball's" dragon eagle, affectionately preening its injured daughter's feathers with its beak... Indeed, Romans's dragon eagles were larger, and most of them were her offspring...
Apart from the dragonhawks and phoenixes that Kael'thas, the Blood Prince, took away, the remaining dragonhawks are all descendants of the progenitor dragonhawk legion controlled by Master Romans.
Captain Terra, the blood elf battle mage, briefly recounted her ordeal to her teacher. Romans' expression shifted several times, his gaze turning grave as he looked towards Lorraine's possible location... He remained silent, his brow furrowed.
She handed over an unassuming magic box containing four corrupted Bloodstone fragments, activated through a flesh-sacrifice ritual, obtained from Lorraine. Now, aside from the few fragments devoured by the Void Beast Faceless Born, only these four coveted treasures remained in Terra's possession.
The master and apprentice nodded in confirmation... without showing any emotion.
The Silvermoon City High Elves' secret treasure box can effectively use spatial magic to isolate the aura within the box. It was also this type of box that was used to remove the Black Iron Golem from the Mayor's treasury. Now, the golem has been taken by Silvermoon City, and the gold coins that Lorraine so desperately wanted have been transported box after box into the Royal Bank's treasury in Silvermoon City's trading district.
Even with the tampering and marking, the baby is completely cut off from Lorraine.
While ordinary gold, silver, and gems are considered vulgar, the noble blood elves still collect and hoard them in their bank vaults... for trading goods with greedy humans and other races.
......
"So, you chose the wrong target for this trip? You should have just stormed into Blackrock Mountain?"
"Teacher, there's no mistake. The Covenant of Greed records the alliance between the Dark Iron Dwarves and the Twilight's Hammer... The Black Dragonflight is at odds with them, and they're definitely carrying out some shady dealings in Blackrock Mountain. They're all our enemies. The previous investigation into the traitor involved too many suspects, and now we're certain that even if they're not part of the same group, they're definitely involved. The Holy Sword is missing; perhaps it's in the King's Vault in Blackrock Mountain! Or maybe it's hidden by the Black Dragons, or perhaps the Twilight's Hammer are secretly collecting relics, trying to awaken their Blood God?"
Terra hurriedly responded to Master Romans's question.
Regardless of what Terra says, there are various secrets and speculations that have been discovered.
Romans, however, always shook his head...
"No, our enemy is the Lich King! The Blood Elves must stand with Dalaran! At the very least, we must stand with the Horde, or even the Alliance, to raise the banner of justice. His Highness has already gone astray, and if we take one wrong step, we will be doomed!"
As the chief archmage of Silvermoon City, Romans realized that Silvermoon City was in too much trouble. Finding the Holy Sword was to expand the influence of the Sunreavers' Temple in Dalaran, restore the reputation and status of the high elves, and even to reclaim an important seat in the Council of Tirisfal.
The current Sunreapers of Dalaran & Aethas are merely executors on the periphery of the Council of Tirisfal, and the human mage Mordra is only a slightly higher-ranking member. The Council of Tirisfal exists in name only and its reputation is not as good as that of the Kirin Tor now.
However, in the new Council of Tirisfal initiated by Aegwynn, the penultimate strongest guardian in the past known as the "human weapon," the old guards all expressed that it was indeed necessary to seek the restoration of order and a new council amidst the chaos.
The Kirin Tor has always represented the interests of human mages, with more than half of its members being human mages...
The original Council of Tirisfal was proposed and established three thousand years ago by high elf archmages. The first guardian was Alodi, a half-elf and half-human. They often met in secret near Whispering Woods in Tirisfal Glades to discuss how to deal with threats to the entire magical world and order.
The members of the Council of Tirisfal changed generation after generation. Before their deaths, the strongest mages would usually gather all the magic power they had accumulated throughout their lives and pass it on to the current Guardian, making him the strongest member of the Council of Tirisfal to carry out the responsibility of protecting Azeroth.
A thousand years ago, the human race gradually gained prominence, and more human mages with extraordinary talents were born. Their lifespans were shorter than those of elves, but the power they transmitted became increasingly stronger.
When it was Aegwynn's turn, the highly talented and capable female mage grew increasingly weary of being controlled by the council. She acted willfully and resentfully, dissatisfied with the meddling of the old fogies in the Council of Tirisfal.
She was even unwilling to return or pass on the powerful magic accumulated by generations of predecessors. She believed herself to be exceptionally talented and of noble blood, and she would find a powerful person to marry and pass on the magic to a more outstanding offspring.
That way, the power of magic can be brought out more effectively.
To put it bluntly, the meritorious Aegwynn abused her power for personal gain, and because of her selfishness, she completely caused the Council of Tirisfal to fall apart and turn against each other... When she became powerful enough to kill a demon that even the combined might of all the mages in the past could not kill, her mindset changed.
Perhaps it was because he had been tainted by the power of the void, or perhaps it was because after a mortal killed a god, Aegwynn also wanted to become a god.
In short, Aegwynn not only refused to accept the arrangements made by the elders of the Council of Tirisfal, but also directly occupied Karazhan as her private library. Originally, it was the common property of all mages, and the Guardians' duty was to guard forbidden books, magical artifacts, and historical records. The Guardian's staff was the key to opening the secret library.
Everything was taken by Aegwynn...
Enraged, the members of the Council of Tirisfal formed the Arcane Order to hunt down Aegwynn. Aran was originally sent to kill Aegwynn, but the two ended up having a child, Medivh, the last human guardian.
Prior to this, Aegwynn had destroyed an avatar of the Dark Titan Sargeras near the Eye of Eternity. She also prevented Sargeras' resurrection and built the Tomb of Sargeras there to seal the demon's remains.
Little did they know that the mortal's killing of the god was merely a conspiracy; Aegwynn had already been implanted with a demonic seed by the Dark Titan within her... The day Medivh came of age would be the day the Dark Portal opened.
In the ensuing endless catastrophe, almost all members of the Council of Tirisfal perished...
