Tarecgosa was stunned.
Basically, they have the same treatment as Chromie. Argus Star Soul doesn't have a good attitude toward these Titan's servants, and in terms of true strength, Tarecgosa is a little worse than Chromie.
However, Diakum said before that the Dragon Aspectss of Azeroth belong to the group of "people who are on the wrong road but can still be saved", so Mr. Star Soul didn't make it difficult for her, he just put his mark on her like Chromie and threw this little Blue Dragon aside.
Chromie takes the initiative to take care of her, which prevents others from having to worry about dragging oil bottles when facing powerful enemies.
But the big blue female dragon's trip was not in vain. She brought out the "Elune's Guardian Staff" that was always causing trouble in Nexus's treasure house. This thing is Arcane Magic's artifact. There is an ancient Arcane spirit sealed inside. It had already appeared in Material World in the era before War of the Ancients.
Players call it "Chatty Staff" because this guy always makes weird and sharp comments about some things.
But its strength is first-class, and it is considered to be at the upper level among those magical artifacts of Azeroth. The best thing is that the forger and previous owner of this staff is the former guardian Magna Aegwynn.
In the era before Lady Aegwynn became Guardians of Tirisfal, she always carried this thing to fight for justice in the Eastern Continent.
Later, after inheriting the position of guardian and receiving "Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian" as a gift with the position, Aluneth had an "dishonorable" retirement.
Why do you say it's not honorable?
Because this staff betrayed its owner at the most critical moment.
"Take this unfortunate thing away!"
After Aegwynn arranged the evacuation of Karazhan, as soon as he returned outside, he saw a very familiar staff floating towards him, shivering and hiding behind her as if he was frightened.
After seeing the appearance of the staff clearly, the former guardian lady pushed away Aluneth who wanted to "stick" with her with a look of disgust. She complained:
"Back then, I encountered the incarnation of Sargeras who entered the physical universe in Northrend in the North. When the battle with Dark Titan was in full swing, this guy actually went crazy and refused to provide me with power. He almost killed me, forcing me to use Staff of the Guardian to fight and win with difficulty."
"No wonder you entrusted this powerful staff to Kirin Tor for safekeeping a few years later."
Meryl Winterstorm nodded and said with emotion:
"But even the weapons you abandoned have caused waves of turmoil in Dalaran.
I remember that in those years, at least a dozen lives were lost because of the ownership of this staff, including one Grand Magus. In addition, Aluneth himself is wild and untamable and powerful. He will not obey any caster except you. Council of Six had no choice but to send it to Blue Dragon.
It is said that there is some connection between this guy and Blue Dragon, and the Weaver personally came forward to accept it."
"Kirin Tor The humble mortals are immersed in studying powers that their little minds can't understand! But even if they immerse themselves in studying, the knowledge acquired by mortal mages in their lifetime is very limited. It's strange that they didn't give up. It's hard for me to understand."
Protector's Staff, who was extremely disliked by Aegwynn, was suspended in the air and commented loudly:
"They want to control me and contain my power, but don't even think about it! I will not serve weak mages. Only powerful mages like Metri and Magna are qualified to control me.
Magna! I miss you so much. Those Blue Dragon locked me up to study me and imprisoned me.
I have been waiting for you to rescue me. I kept destroying their palaces, provoking them, and angering them, and finally got this opportunity to escape.
I will come to you as soon as I am free.
Take me away, what happened last time. Ahem, that was an accident, I promise it won't happen again."
"Go away!"
Aegwynn pushed this shameless Protector's Staff.
But considering that he was about to face off against Medivh, who was holding the staff of Atiesh, the former guardian finally accepted the weapon forged by himself.
She was actually just saying it.
When Material World encounters enemies of the same level as Sargeras's incarnation, it is only natural that Aluneth, who has a keen sense of ancient elements, is too timid to fight.
While several people were talking, Diakum had already walked out of Karazhan's cellar with the remnants of a dark aura.
In human form, he frowned and returned to his temporary companions. When Farodis saw the darkness lingering around him, the big Lich raised his eyebrows and said:
"What did you do with those Dark Power?"
"The weapons that were fed to me, Twilight Hammer said that these powers are delicious. It said that the darkness is mixed with the resentment of innocent people and the decay and decay from the other world. Obviously, Medivh has been studying some very dangerous things in the darkness of Karazhan these years."
Vigilant waved his hand and said to others:
"There is another problem. The artifacts collected by Medivh's dark servants from all over the world are missing.
According to the prophecies I saw, they should all be stored in the treasure house in the cellar. There are still some footprints there, and they should have been taken away not long ago. I suspect that those dangerous weapons were given to Green Skins Orcs by Medivh.
For the Stormwind Kingdom, this is too bad.
Huh?
Didn't this staff talk a lot just now? Why was it so silent after I came?"
Diakum looked at Aegwynn and said:
"Have I provoked this learned ancient element? I heard that it followed Master Metri and witnessed War of the Ancients. I still have some questions to ask it."
"Whoosh"
When Aluneth Staff heard this, he immediately shrank into Aegwynn's arms, making the former guardian look helpless.
She comforted her staff and sighed:
"Don't embarrass it, Diakum. What elemental creatures like it fear most is the all-pervasive corrosion of the void. What's more, you have a power that makes Aluneth very uneasy. I have rarely seen it be so panicked, just like when it faced the incarnation of Dark Titan with me hundreds of years ago.
But this is also a good thing.
With you by my side, Aluneth will at least not be so noisy.
As you know, a mage needs to be calm and focused when casting spells. For a long time, I used the noise of Aluneth as my anti-interference spell casting practice, and the effect was remarkable.
Are you ready? Everyone."
She looked at the others and said:
"Moroes is expelling the distinguished guests. When he is finished, we will enter Karazhan, and then seal Mage Tower, like wild beasts stepping into a fight to the death. I will not give up until I call my child back from the darkness."
"If a powerful spellcaster like Medivh falls into the darkness, it will undoubtedly affect the order and stability of Azeroth. As the "Phoenix Guard" of Quel'Thalas, I have no shirk of responsibility."
Big Lich Farodis nodded.
He took out a small sky-blue stone from his arms and placed it on the top of his Flood Staff. When the thing was in place, Diakum could clearly hear the sound of the rolling tide and the surging sound of Thunder.
This small stone is definitely a fragment of the legendary "Pillars of Creation - Tidestone".
That was one of the tools used by Titan to shape the style of ancient Azeroth World. It was a "Titan Artifact" that could truly change the world. Then, Diakum heard a disdainful hum from Argus Star Soul.
Diakum did not take out Twilight Hammer, that thing can only be used in combat.
He took out Kazzak's Soul Staff, glanced at Meryl Winterstorm who was holding the "simple" Grand Magus staff next to him, shook his head, and under the puzzled gaze of old Lich, put the artifact staff that sealed the soul of Greater Demon into his hand.
"I'll lend it to you."
Dick took out Flame Blade, held it in his hand, and whispered:
"Based on Medivh's level of spell immunity, the staff in your hand can't even break through the defense. If he enters the "second stage transformation", I estimate that attacks below artifacts will be completely exempted by him."
"But I'm also prepared!"
Meryl Winterstorm feels that he has been underestimated by this foreign country Saint.
Old Lich was about to take out the precious magic items he had prepared for this battle, but after sensing the power of Kazzak's Soul Staff, he stopped in embarrassment. Then he coughed a few times under the suffocating gaze of his old friend Farodis, and pretended to be nothing, stroking the staff Diakum lent him, and said:
"Very good, then I will temporarily lend you your power, foreign Saint. After the battle, I will return it to its original owner."
"As it should be."
Diakum nodded.
At this time, he missed Ashbringer that he had lost to Bronze Dragons. To deal with the dark power in Medivh's body, the hot and pure holy flame was perfect.
The four people in the group were all equipped with their own artifacts, and the glow of power enveloped them. After the swearing and drunken nobles were sent out of the tower by Karazhan's defense captain Attumen, the four of them entered this strict Mage Tower through the back door.
It is obvious that a lot of space spells have been used here to expand the interior to the size of a small city, and it is distributed three-dimensionally in different areas. Outsiders will definitely get lost when they come here, but Aegwynn teleported all the way to the magic center of Karazhan.
They want to take back this Mage Tower from Medivh before the war begins.
The mage belongs to Invincible in his Mage Tower, and Medivh itself is already difficult enough. Diakum does not want to increase the difficulty for himself to challenge the "hard mode."
"You guys wait here for a moment while I turn on Mage Tower's energy protection."
Aegwynn said something to the three people, and a teleportation sent him into the library filled with books in front. Farodis, who came here for the first time, was a little confused, but Old Meryl explained in time:
"The front is where Aegwynn keeps the spirit body of her late husband. Nielas Aran raised his and Aegwynn's son alone during the time when she disappeared. As a result, Medivh was accidentally killed due to poor control of his power when he was young. Aegwynn was so distraught that he used some forbidden methods to bring Nilas' soul back from World of Death and bound it to Mage Tower.
Aran also took care of this magic tower for his wife and son after his death.
In his eyes, this is their family's home and no outsiders are allowed to intrude.
Although the outside world says that Magna Aegwynn is a ruthless and greedy person, we all know that she is a very sensitive person, and there is true love between her and Aran.
Give her some time."
"But how did I hear that it was Magna who used magic potion to seduce Aran, who was promising at the time, and that made him rebel from Dalaran, and then Medivh The birth of? It is said that Aran was once the most powerful mage hunter master of Dalaran, and he hunted Aegwynn for more than decades."
Farodis winked and said:
"Which version of the story is true?"
"There is no conflict between the two, Your Excellency."
Dick explained:
"It is normal for people like Ms. Magna Aegwynn to have hatred out of love and love out of hate. A partner who is worthy of her must be very human. Meryl, why do you look so strange?
Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
The kind-hearted Vigilant looked at the old Lich whose expression changed drastically. The latter shook his head, looked at the Kazzak's Soul Staff in his hand with a strange look in his eyes, and said:
"The Doom Lord in this staff is chatting with the Dreadlord in my body. The target of their chat is you. I don't think you want to hear how they describe you.
Kazzak said that you have a secret method that can turn you into a Lightforging giant several hundred meters high. In that case, it fought with you for thousands of rounds with no outcome, and finally it was defeated by you because of Holy Light Force's shameless sneak attack.
Kasanathir didn't believe it, and said that Kazzak would brag, saying that the meanest hellhound in the whole Burning Legion knew about the grudge between Kazzak and you.
The conversation between the two of them revealed a lot of subtle information. Diakum, Farodis and I really underestimate you. I guess Aegwynn also underestimates you.
The things you did in the two worlds of Argus and Draenor are truly earth-shattering. Are the Conqueror Kil'jaeden and the Shaper·Sarkir all your "old acquaintances"? Did the entire Burning Legion and Greater Demon, both named and surnamed, die once in your hands?
It is said that among the people that demons hate the most, your name is the one that is mentioned the most."
"It's not that exaggerated. You can't believe everything these demons say. They also like to brag and will raise the status of their enemies to brag about themselves. I just live a long time but do nothing.
But Kil'jaeden is indeed my old commander, and Sarkir was defeated and killed by me personally."
Dick waved his hands with a normal expression, showing an expression that said "the past is too painful to look back on".
He sighed and said:
"When Argus was escaping, I killed Sarkir under the witness of Dark Titan. Because of this, I became more aware of the power that was waiting for us at the highest point of this Mage Tower.
Lady Aegwynn.
She is destined to be severely heartbroken today, she was taken advantage of! And her carelessness created a tragedy for her family. I am afraid that she may not be able to bear such a terrible blow."
"Magna is very strong. She noticed the corruption of Dalaran, held the power of the guardian alone for so many years, and finally passed it on to Medivh."
Meryl Winterstorm shook his head and said:
"Although there is some selfishness mixed in, I believe Aegwynn is a qualified guardian. She will go on resolutely for the safety of this continent. Besides, we will accompany her. This is the meaning of friends."
Farodis said nothing.
But he noticed something from Diakum's emotion, and there was some thought in his narrowed eyes. When Aegwynn came back, a red heavy shield was floating next to her, and she pushed it to Diakum and said:
"If you want to be a protector, you need a shield. I can't find a better one in a hurry, so just make do with it."
"Well, it's really quite suitable."
Vigilant picked up the heavy shield and waved it. The quality of this thing was only "epic", which was hard to satisfy "Krypton Gold Warrior" Diakum, who was covered in artifacts.
Without a magical shield in his hand, to be honest, he felt very insecure.
But you can't retreat even when you come. Under the leadership of Aegwynn, the four finally reached the highest point of Karazhan. When they pushed open the door of Meditation Room, what they saw was not an elegant room filled with books, but a foreign land that was twisted to be directly connected to the star world.
This place is definitely no longer Material World, it is the "star observatory" that Medivh forcibly created with his powerful magic.
Ordinary mages need to use complex lenses to observe the stars and choose a night with excellent weather.
Astral Mage stargazing directly on his terrace creates a twisted space that connects to the star world. It is hard to say which effect is better, but Medivh's "close stargazing" method is definitely very friendly to the eyes.
"You are here."
Astral Mage faces away from the guests.
He leaned on Staff of the Guardian and raised his head to observe the meteors streaking across the galaxy, and said:
"Have you seen the extinguishing starlight? The stars there are being extinguished by the Burning Legion. There are three planets in that galaxy that have signs of life, but they only lasted seven hours in front of the devil.
War of the Ancients Ten thousand years have passed. How long can Azeroth, who is immersed in singing and dancing and living in peace, be able to persist when facing an ancient enemy?"
Medivh let out a light laugh. The moment he turned around, the starry sky behind him was rotating and changing, and the dark green star sea filled with Fel pollution reflected green light.
He said:
"The divided world cannot resist the coming of the enemy, but I can read the anger and condemnation in your eyes, and I know you will not hear me out.
What a pity.
Come on, then, and put an end to this unpleasant conversation."
"Child, if you want to say something, you can continue. I will listen to you patiently."
Aegwynn took a step forward and felt the trembling of the Aluneth holy staff in her hand. She said softly:
"But you must make sure that every thought in your mind comes from your own cognition, not the infusion of darkness. What is affecting you? This is not what your father and I taught you."
"Mom, I have two fathers. Except for the one who loves me, the other treats me as a "pet"."
Medivh shook his head.
In the perception of the drastic change in Aegwynn's face, a familiar force spread out from his body. In the echo of Arcane Magic, the violent aura belonging to Fel was derived from Astral Mage's other hand, turning into Sargeras's Flame and surrounding his fingers.
He said:
"My beloved father died at my hands. It was the anger of my other "father" who had been hiding in your shadow long before I was formed in your body. I am not only your and Aran's child, I am also your and Sargeras's child.
Sorry, mother.
But the time I have spent with Him over the years has been much longer than the time you spent teaching me and accompanying me."
The shadow of Medivh in the sea of stars stretched and spread, and finally turned into an extremely familiar shadow in Aegwynn's trembling gaze, standing behind Astral Mage, completely shrouding her child in the shadow of Dark Titan.
"Bang"
As Aluneth lamented, Protector's Staff fell to the ground, and then floated up again.
Aegwynn crashed.
As expected by Diakum.
