Aaron never expected that the dean, who seemed so amiable just now, would change his face at the slightest disagreement. He said he wanted to teach Aaron them a lesson, and threw several fireballs the size of a man's head at them on the spot.
"This is a bit excessive." Vereesa dodged the dean's attack with great skill and looked at Aaron, "What should I do? Do you want to take action?"
Aaron's skills were not as good as Vereesa's. Seeing that he could not avoid the oncoming fireball, he simply put a layer of Divine Shield on himself and withstood the opponent's attack. He said to Vereesa in disgrace, "You stay away, I will deal with her."
The reason why Aaron said this was because Vereesa's arrows had very poor effect on Undead. Instead, they easily angered the other party and attracted concentrated fire attacks. Aaron simply faced the almost crazy dean himself. Wasn't he just Undead? Even Lich King was driven away by him. What was he afraid of?
Aaron With such thoughts, a layer of dazzling Holy Light bloomed on his body, and Aaron took turns to hit the dean with his fist.
The angry dean seemed to be aware of Holy Light's restraint on him. He screamed and quickly retreated from Aaron's blow.
Aaron originally wanted to take advantage of the situation to catch up, but he did not expect that the opponent's scream went straight to the depths of his soul. Even though he had been tested by various mental attacks for a long time, there was still a moment of delay before the opponent dodged the attack.
"You are not a student of the college. Tell me, who are you?!" Even though the dean was unconscious and full of anger, he also realized the abnormality of Aaron. He let out a piercing scream again, and then a large number of spells were directed at Aaron.
For a moment, Aaron had Flamestrike at his feet, a fireball was approaching in front of him, and Meteor was greeting him above his head. The dean, who felt threatened, was ready to burn Aaron to ashes.
Aaron naturally would not sit still and wait for death. A pair of wings sprouted from his back. As soon as his feet touched the ground, he rushed back. Avoiding the overwhelming spell attacks and bypassing the sea of fire that was still burning, Aaron once again approached the dean.
Aaron punched out hard, but this time the opponent couldn't avoid it and let out a shrill wail, which even dimmed his already weak soul.
Just when Aaron wanted to add another punch, a golden palm suddenly came out from the side and stopped his movement. Xal'atath said to the suspicious Aaron: "Do you still want to find Tidestone?"
"Of course I do." Aaron put down his fist, but still stared at the dean closely to prevent him from making any changes.
Xal'atath waved his hand and flew in front of the dead soul. Two golden rays of light shot out from his eyes and connected to the opponent's eyes. After a while, the angry look on the dead soul's face disappeared and was replaced by a dead expression similar to that of a statue.
"Okay, now you can ask her any questions you want." Xal'atath clapped his hands gently and said to Aaron.
"You have this ability, why didn't you use it earlier?" Aaron muttered, but the problem was solved anyway, so everything was fine, so he walked up to the dean and asked him where Tidestone was.
The dull-faced dean pointed outside and said mechanically, "Tidestone was placed in the warehouse by me."
"Take us in." Aaron thought for a while and simply let the other party lead the way in person to avoid any mistakes when encountering the souls of other elves.
Following the stiff dean, she arrived at the warehouse. She took out an old key from somewhere, muttered, "Why is the key so old?" and opened the warehouse.
Behind the warehouse door is a corridor that spirals downward. Thick dust accumulates in the corridor. After the door is opened, the airflow from outside the door blows up the dust. It seems that no one has entered this warehouse for a long time.
"Tidestone is inside." The dean pointed to the corridor and said to Aaron.
Aaron saw that the stirred up dust had settled down again. In order to avoid attracting attention, Aaron asked the dean to enter behind the door with him, and then closed the warehouse door to prevent any dead souls from breaking in again.
To Aaron's expectation, there was actually a group of Undead wandering in this corridor. Judging from various signs, the door of the warehouse has not been opened for at least hundreds of thousands of years, and these Undead have stayed here for such a long time.
It is obvious that the state of these Undeads is worse than those outside, let alone their mental state. As soon as these dead souls see Aaron, they want to pounce on them. Xal'atath expressed his willingness to waste his abilities on these Undead whose rationality has been completely annihilated. Aaron purifies all these irreparable Undead.
At the end of the spiral corridor is a wide circular hall. The walls of the hall show signs of collapse. There are a large number of crystals scattered on the ground. At a glance, you can only see what appears to be blue-purple crystals and Undead scattered among the crystals. For some reason, at least a dozen unconscious wandering souls have gathered in this warehouse.
"Where is Tidestone?" Aaron frowned and didn't see anything that looked like Tidestone. After the dean's guidance, he found the broken Tidestone among the crystals.
Tidestone was broken into a total of six fragments of different sizes. At first glance, these fragments looked like ordinary stones, but if you look closely, you can see that there are strange runes painted on the surface of the fragments, and these runes also glow faintly.
When Aaron found Tidestone that had been broken into six pieces, these stones, which looked like ordinary gravel, automatically gathered together to form an irregular disk, with an almost perfect stone ball in the center, and the remaining pieces of gravel formed a broken ring to surround the stone ball in the center.
After Tidestone gathered together, the flower slowly floated up, and finally floated in front of Aaron. A wavy dark blue glow appeared on it. Aaron could still vaguely hear the sound of the ocean tide, which showed that this artifact was indeed extraordinary.
After confirming that Tidestone could still be used, Aaron breathed a sigh of relief. The next thing to do was to bring the stone back to Eldre'Thalas. Prince Tortheldrin's instructions before going to Halls of Valor were completed.
However, Aaron did not notice at this moment that the dean's dull eyes, which had been confused by Xal'atath's spell, suddenly moved a few times and emitted a lively light.
The next moment, the dean flew in front of Tidestone, and his hands seemed to want to take Tidestone into his arms.
"Hey, what are you doing?!" Aaron was shocked by the other party's unexpected behavior and looked at Xal'atath: "What is going on?"
