Aegwynn was drinking tea in the living room of "Holy Flame Monastery" with a straight face.
Behind her, "Northshire Knight" Maximilian, who had been beaten with a bruised nose and swollen face, was trembling with her head down, while Miss Milly was covering her face and crying next to her, as if she had been hit "Personality Correction Slap".
These two young people who never take trouble seriously almost angered Aegwynn.
If she wakes up from the damn Diakum's mental hallucination one minute later, Maximilian will really use the most romantic "riding method" to try to save her, which will definitely become the most embarrassing experience in Aegwynn's more than eight hundred years of life.
Outside the living room, the pilgrims who had been trapped in the illusion for two months were chanting scriptures loudly.
Perhaps in order to compensate for their spiritual damage, Diakum personally led them in a consecration ceremony and personally "consecrated" these guys' Holy Crest.
Although this compensation comes a little late.::
One by one, these pilgrims will become figures similar to "ascetic monks" in their subsequent lives. They have been repenting in the illusion for too long, and have formed a spiritual dependence.
But considering that these guys really have their own sins, it is not necessarily a bad thing for Consecration to have faith and be driven by faith to take actions to atone for their sins.
They really have to be lucky that their sins are not worthy of death. If someone with a heinous crime sneaks in, they will probably be thrown into Sea of Darkness to feed the worms the moment they enter the illusion.
Dick is Vigilant and Judgment. His attitude towards sinners has always been very harsh.
When the prayer ended, Diakum walked into the room with the sacred breath of consecration. The moment he saw Aegwynn, Star Soul Spokesperson stood up, pinched the cup in Shattered Hand, picked up Staff of Sargeras, pointed at Diakum, and said briefly:
"Draw your sword and let's duel!"
"That doesn't have to be the case. That's not because we didn't kiss him."
Dick joked.
Seeing Aegwynn's eyes getting even more angry, he waved his hand and said:
"I apologize. I was wrong. I will forget about it."
"How on earth did you bypass World Soul's protection of my spirit and drag me into a mental illusion?"
Aegwynn stared at him and said:
"This is a terrible flaw!
I need to know all the principles to avoid being in this bad situation again in the future. Logically speaking, you can't do this!
At least within the scope of Azeroth World, it is impossible for any of your actions to escape the attention of Star Soul."
"Theoretically, that's true."
Diakum nodded, then took out Ashbringer, stroking the gorgeous blood-colored pearl decoration on the hilt,
says:
"But I discovered the "mutation" of this sword. After using the pearl hilt of Remornia to strengthen it, the Gray Herald accidentally got a wisp of Sinful Punishment Profound Mystery from Absolution Eternal One.
That is not the complete power of death, but it can be learned by me and integrated into Punishment Power of Holy Light, making it my unique "Confession" secret.
Because the power sample comes from Eternal Ones, and Eternal Ones possesses "True God Authority", the effective range of this secret is very exaggerated."
Vigilant shrugged and said to Aegwynn who looked wary:
"When this secret is used together with Heart Power or Sha Power, theoretically, as long as you have a sin that can be judged, you cannot be exempted from the "Confession" I imposed.
Of course, this secret cannot be broken by external damage when it is in effect. Any attack will wake you up from Confession.
So this is a very useful control skill, but it's not fatal or even causes you to take any damage.
So, here comes the question, Aegwynn...
Are you guilty?"
"I feel I'm not guilty!"
Aegwynn looked at the Ashbringer sword hilt in Diakum's hand, but then she sighed and said:
"Unfortunately, the facts have proved that I seem to be guilty, and the sin is serious. Azshara's warning is right. I must reflect on myself to prevent myself from going down her old path...:
Wrong!
I'm still affected by doubts and I'm still reflecting."
"This is normal," Repentance Profound Mystery "It's not that easy. Dispersion, you're going to have to deal with this kind of self-reflection and self-doubt for the next week, but it's not a bad thing, right?"
Only when you know how to reflect on yourself can you make progress."
Dick sat on the chair, waved his hand and applied Holy Light healing to Miss Maximilian and Milly, healing their minor injuries.
He said in a gentle tone:
"So, Northshire rider Maximilian, you have proven to me with your two months of practical actions that you are a righteous walker with a "pure heart". You finally defeated the evil dragon in my trial and gained my approval.
Are you willing to join Light Weaver Warband?
There you can find your own path to justice.
Of course, you need to rely on your own efforts to become a legend before you are eligible to join the team and become Lightforged Recruit.
From now on, you will preach your righteous way in the sea of stars!"
"Ah, the supreme glory."
Maximilian half-knelt on the ground in an exaggerated chanting tone, put his hand on his heart like a baptized knight, and said loudly:
"As you said, my whole life will be used to promote justice and leave the legend of "Northshire Knight" in the sea of stars. Every evil dragon will be defeated by me, and every pure girl in distress will be saved by me.
Maybe I should leave Northshire and travel the world!
After I become a legend, I will come back here to fulfill my agreement with you."
Dick nodded, and presented a Lightforged standard long sword to this silly boy who seemed to have no brains, but Holy Light was very friendly and scary, and watched him walk out of the hall with high will.
Then he looked at Miss Milly and said:
"Your wine is really delicious. As compensation for this unexpected trip, maybe you can try to go beyond Dark Portal and send Milly's wine into the Draenor world?"
I can introduce you to a great business partner.
I heard that the merchant Dena who once sold me weapons and armor has made a name for herself in Draenor. She is competing for the title of "Draenor's No. 1 Rich Merchant" but lacks some competitive products.
She will definitely be willing to sign a lucrative contract with you and make Milly's wine famous in other worlds."
"Yeah!"
Ms. Milly, who was determined to make her family's wine industry bigger and stronger, waved her fist in satisfaction, then thanked Vigilant, shrunk under Aegwynn's cold gaze, and ran out as if running away.
Vigilant waited patiently until Aegwynn had completely calmed down, then put down the tea cup and said:
"So let's get down to business, Forbidden Isle showed up?"
"Well, it emerged from the edge of the fog of Dragon Isles five days ago. I have been sending you messages asking you to go there.
But you never replied."
Aegwynn said seriously:
"Although I have been monitoring it, I can't be sure if anyone else took advantage of the fog Dispersion to enter it. Your previous description was not an exaggeration. There is something extraordinary on that island.
At least I sensed a seal!
A seal related to the void. That thing was so dangerous that I felt it was tricky, so I came here to look for you, but you gave me a complete job!
Dick, honestly, what have you done in the past two months?"
"Didn't I just say that?"
Vigilant smiled and replied:
"Pinch yourself a "Third Form", understand and use the secret meaning of "Confession", and learn the path of Light-Shadow Twinborn to the next stage."
"I don't believe it!"
Aegwynn shook his head and said:
"You must have done some dangerous things here. For example, your Holy Light turned back into its former White Holy Flame, but when you were at Pandaria, I clearly saw your special Holy Light that transformed into "Radiant Sun".
I guess you have studied the inheritance of "An'she, the Sun God" in the past two months, right?"
Diakum fell silent.
He sighed and said:
"Well, having such a perceptive partner like you can sometimes be a headache.
Okay, I admit, I did study the power of Sun God. I can't tell you the details, but in the next period of time, I have to try my best to avoid entering the "Devourer of Worlds" form, and I must avoid using "Eclipse".
Before the evolution of the swarm is completed, I will try to delay the outbreak of conflict."
He paused, picked up the teacup, and said:
"There is an ominous message coming from the Sea of Darkness tide. The Void Gods subordinates have begun to doubt my position. Once they get a hold of me, I will become the target of Sea of Darkness in an instant.
Although that doesn't represent Void Force's attitude towards me.
But you know, walking in two forces at the same time means that I need to abide by more rules. Once I do something that harms the interests of the void, I will be removed from the list or even hunted down. This is the fate I deserve.
By then, except for Chamber of Heart Sanctuary, there will be no place for me in the entire star sea.
However, the saddest thing is that you and I both know that it is only a matter of time before this hidden danger breaks out. No matter how much I delay, one day I will definitely face a choice.
And that choice is a "single choice."
Diakum drank all the water in the tea cup, showed a helpless smile to Aegwynn, sighed and said:
"Holy Light, or the void? I can only choose one of the two."
"But you are walking on the path of "Light-Shadow Twinborn". The moment this path is recognized by the two forces, it means that there is a theoretical optimal solution to your situation at this time!"
Aegwynn said seriously:
"What about Sun God? Radiant Sun and Eclipse are also twins, and they fit your path very well! As long as you take your path to the end and polish it to perfection.
I know it's hard.
But I believe you can do it, Dick.
You are not the smartest person I have ever met, but you are indeed the most loved Holy Light person I have ever met.
This means that in some extreme cases, you can even "negotiate terms" with Holy Light Force, just like Dark Titan driving and looking at Fel and still maintaining your sanity.
Fel, who was supposed to destroy everything, allowed Sargeras to retain his sanity as Arcane Titan!
Fel and reason are a pair of paradoxes, but Sargeras has achieved its limited balance.
This example is extreme, but it can be used as a reference.
When that time comes, Holy Light will either accept your prayer or bear the price of losing you completely... Yes,
As long as you are important enough in the light, as long as you are strong enough in the shadow."
"Such a naked transaction is not a choice that a believer would make."
Diakum does not intend to discuss this issue more deeply, but the answer given by Aegwynn based on the unique insights of Arcane Mage is an extreme solution.
He stood up, and while following Aegwynn to the outlying island, he took a look at the mythical talent of "The Way of Nature" on Character Card.
Maybe.::
Well, let's use it as a backup plan when things are irreversible.
Forbidden Isle, Dragon Isles's island on the edge of the fog.
The area here is not large, basically similar to the cities in the Dalaran city-state, but the terrain is very complex.
The terrain is originally an island and is surrounded by mountains. What's even more terrible is that Earth Warder used his power to create a quite complex underground structure for this island hidden on the "edge of the known world".
The mountains here are dotted with various Underground Palaces and treasure houses of hidden items, and even some dangerous laboratories.
That's right!
This island was built by Black Dragon King Neltharion who had not yet fallen. It was not naturally formed, so this island appeared in the world before the fog of Dragon Isles dispersed.
But Deathwing is known for being calm and wise when not crazy. It and Malygos are best friends, and the two guys appreciate each other's wisdom.
Neltharion will not just create a useless island, so it is natural that there are some "secrets" belonging to Black Dragonflight hidden on this Forbidden Isle.
"They are indeed coming!"
Aegwynn squinted his eyes, hiding in the shadows and looking at the sky.
Two adult black dragons landed on the island one after another, and then transformed into Human Form, talking, and walked along the ancient road toward the collapsed buildings deep in the island.
They are not very familiar with this place, but they have maps in their hands to find important things.
"Do you want to dispose of it?"
Aegwynn looked back at Diakum, who was maintaining the shadow, and then said strangely:
"You can actually control the shadows even under ordinary Human Form? Is this also the result of these two months of seclusion?"
"Absolutely. As my understanding of light and shadow gradually deepens, more mysteries emerge in my eyes. I can't do it without learning. They will chase my mind in the form of knowledge until I learn it.
This feeling of being chased by knowledge and forced to learn is terrible."
Dick sighed and said:
"As for these two black dragons... of course they need to be dealt with, but it's not us who need to deal with them. Our target on this island is hidden in the treasure house deep in the island.
I have notified Onyxia,
She will come over soon to deal with the black dragon. I promised her before that all matters related to the black dragon will be left to her."
"But didn't you say that there is a dangerous "Dragonkin Legion" created on the island with the help of Five-Colored Dragons's power before Deathwing went crazy?"
Aegwynn raised his eyebrows and said:
"To be called "Burning Legion" by you shows that these guys are numerous and have a quality advantage. If this force is taken away by the black dragon, Lothar's Northern Expedition will not need to be fought."
"Indeed, Dracthyr is a problem that needs to be solved, but it also cannot be solved by us."
Vigilant explained:
"Deathwing has created a set of mental templates for Dracthyr. These "little Dragonkin" will instinctively be loyal to Dragon Aspects. After all, they were created to become the servant army of Dragon Aspects.
They were born at the time when "Aspect Dragon War" was fighting like fire, and this desire for loyalty engraved in the bones is difficult to eradicate.
The worst thing is that between little Dragonkin and our target, there is a high probability that we can only pick one to take away."
"Huh?"
Aegwynn immediately responded.
She exclaimed:
"You mean, there is a "Incarnate Dragons" sealed on Forbidden Isle?
It is said that they suppressed Dragon Aspects in the early stages of the war and were able to force Deathwing to create an army of Dracthyr to deal with the war. This also shows that the strength of those guys is at least not weaker than those of Dragon Aspects.
More importantly, compared to Dragon Aspects, World Mother obviously prefers Incarnate Dragons who have a "rebellious spirit".
Indeed.
If I had to choose between Dracthyr and Incarnate Dragons today, I would also choose Incarnate Dragons. However,
Dracthyr cannot be taken away by Deathwing!"
"So we need to call another group of "foreign aid" over."
Vigilant is obviously well prepared.
He said to Aegwynn:
"Deathwing did not inform his brothers and sisters about the existence of Dracthyr, but Dracthyr is indeed a dragon servant army created for "just self". Therefore, we should notify Guardian Dragonflight to come and receive them.
Although we and Dragon Aspects are not friends, at least we are not enemies either.
Dracthyr cannot follow Deathwing, then let these confused children follow Dragon Aspects to do some work within their ability.
After the fog of Dragon Isles clears, we will find another opportunity to solve the problems of Dracthyr and Guardian Dragonflight at once!"
This suggestion is very good.
Aegwynn already has a way to contact Blue Dragonflight.
Although Star Soul Spokesperson and Dragon Aspects are not in the same camp now, Aegwynn and Blue Dragon have a pretty good personal relationship.
While she sent a message to Nexus, asking Blue Dragon to come over and deal with the mess left by Deathwing, she complained to Dick:
"Actually, there is a simpler way. As you said, Deathwing gave these Dracthyr a "thinking stamp" of loyalty to Dragon Aspects.
This is a spiritual matter.
You might as well become Devourer of Worlds and brainwash them.::
Oh.
I almost forgot what you just explained, but with your current mental magic skills, you can still complete the thought replacement even without using Devourer of Worlds Form, right?"
"Yes, and it's not difficult. After all, Deathwing's control over Dracthyr is based on an "artifact", and that artifact was broken before little Dragonkin was sealed."
Dick made a triangle Holy Crest on his chest and said:
"If my moral standard drops crazily to the level of a "villain" in one day, then I will indeed follow your suggestion and complete such VanCleef "evil fall" brainwashing.
But unfortunately, I won't allow myself to be that person.
Therefore, this Aegwynn bitch, please put a stop to your dark tactics.
My study of spirituality and Mind Magic is not to change other people's thoughts, on the contrary, it is to prevent other people's thoughts from being invaded and maliciously changed.
What's more."
Vigilant glanced at the hidden and looming auras in the surrounding mountains, and he said:
"Dracthyr has just lost the meaning of their existence, but they have a complete ethnic system, extremely high talents, strength and wisdom. They are fully qualified to establish their own civilization, and this requires their own cooperation to complete.
We cannot deprive ourselves of this precious possibility in the name of "for their own good," and Supreme Star Soul would not want to see his spokesperson do such a thing."
Aegwynn was silent for a moment and nodded.
She knew that this was Diakum's kind reminder to her to pay attention to how she behaves.
Judging from the suffering Supreme Star Soul has suffered, he would never want to see the way Titan treated himself be inflicted on others by his own people.
At the same time, on a higher mountain peak where Diakum and Aegwynn were hiding, in a certain mountain col, there was a black Dragon Scale on one end, but Human Form appeared, with miniature dragon wings and a long dragon tail behind it, a miniature black dragon head on top, and a humanoid creature with lifelike dragon horns lying there.
She peered down at the two strange guys below, her snake-pupil eyes blinking like a zoom camera and accurately captured the figures of Aegwynn and Diakum. She could even hear their conversation.
After a moment, she took back the shadow where she was hiding, took out a black Dragon Scale, activated it, and reported to her companions hiding in various places on the island:
"This is Steel Sight Camp Scalelord Anbosa. I am monitoring "Intruder No. 3" and I will keep following them to confirm the purpose of their arrival. Sarkareth Scalelord, let me remind you that although we are all close to the black dragons by blood, there are obvious signs of corrosive power on the two black dragons just now.
For the benefit of your tribe, I advise you to calm down and be cautious in contacting them!
Dear Scalelord, I received the reply!"
"Blackguard Camp·Azurathel Scalelord received! We are activating defense stones around the outlying islands and preparing to open the barrier to block incoming visitors."
"Darktalon Camp·Cindrethresh Scalelord received! Defeating the Blue Dragon guards at Froststone Vault and taking over the Incarnate Dragons seal."
"Healing Wing Camp·Viridia Scalelord received! The compatriots who were injured from awakening are being healed. In about four hours, the compatriots will be restored to health. At that time, the Dracthyr battle group will return to its full posture."
Scalelord Anbosa did not stop communicating. She and the other three Scalelord were waiting for a reply from the most loyal and persistent brother among them.
A few seconds later, a deep and resolute voice sounded:
"Blackscale Camp·Sarkareth Scalelord Received! They are surrounding Intruder No. 2, the black dragon with signs of three eclipses at both ends.
Once they do any aggressive behavior, I will personally execute them.
But.:.
I still believe that our "father" Neltharion has not fallen!
I have to ask clearly."
