"My name is Aaron..." Aaron was just about to introduce himself when he heard Malfurion's exclamation and hurriedly looked at Fandral Staghelm, but saw a layer of black-red light in Fandral Staghelm's eyes, and his expression and eyes had become dull, and the black-red light spread faintly towards Fandral Staghelm's whole body.
"What's going on?" Aaron scratched his head. He didn't remember Xavius taking action against Fandral Staghelm, but after thinking about it for a moment, Aaron's expression changed. Could it be that when he was dodging just now, Xavius's Nightmare spell hit Fandral Staghelm?
Seeing Fandral Staghelm being corroded by Nightmare, Aaron immediately reached out and instilled Holy Light into his body. Having had previous experience, Aaron purifies the power of Nightmare much more easily, but this is also related to the fact that the power of Nightmare is not as closely integrated with the corrupted as Fel.
As Holy Light circulates in Fandral Staghelm's body, the influence of Nightmare on him has been eliminated, but the nightmare caused by it in Fandral Staghelm's heart will not be solved so easily.
"Don't leave me, Valstann!" Fandral Staghelm looked like he had woken up from a nightmare, and stretched out his hand, as if to hold a loved one who was about to leave him.
Hearing the name Fandral Staghelm said, Aaron's expression moved slightly. Xavius was really quick to strike. Wasn't the blow just now planned to hit Fandral Staghelm?
With this thought, Aaron gave Fandral Staghelm several Holy Light blows to ensure that there was no residual power of Nightmare in Fandral Staghelm's body. However, even so, Aaron was not sure that the power of Nightmare had been eradicated. This thing was really hard to guard against.
Seeing Fandral Staghelm's eyes gradually regaining consciousness, Malfurion also breathed a sigh of relief, gently patted Fandral Staghelm's shoulder and said a few words of comfort.
"Teacher, I know," Fandral Staghelm said, but his expression was still a little gloomy. Va'enstan's death was an eternal pain in his heart. He tried his best to forget it, but Xavius still succeeded in bringing back his most painful memory.
Malfurion sighed. He knew very well how important this matter was in his disciple's heart, but to this day, no matter how much he tried to persuade him, it was meaningless. This matter could only allow Fandral Staghelm to recover slowly.
"By the way, why are you here looking for me? You look very anxious." Malfurion changed the subject. To be honest, when he saw Aaron appear, he was quite surprised. The last time he saw this person was ten thousand years ago, right? After not seeing him for so long, why do you feel that this guy is younger? Is it a characteristic of their race?
In addition, Fandral Staghelm also appeared together, and Malfurion felt that this matter might be serious. You must know that even when he had to deal with the insect army that rushed out from Ahn'Qiraj, Fandral Staghelm only asked other Druid to help deliver the news, but he did not come to Emerald Dream in such a hurry.
"Originally, this matter was very urgent, but it seems that you have noticed this matter." Aaron pointed at the vines that were blasted into several sections of lifeless vines by Druid's spell, "I found traces of Xavius in Eldre'Thalas. The guy also wanted to attack World Tree, but fortunately he was solved."
After listening to Aaron, Malfurion lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "I think I know what's going on. How could this cunning guy like Xavius be caught by me so easily?"
Xavius is actually not as well hidden as Aaron thought. In fact, this guy has been relying on frequent escapes to avoid being caught by Dreamer. This time coming to the location corresponding to Eldre'Thalas in reality is actually a risky move for Xavius.
He originally wanted to use this plan to return to reality, leaving Emerald Dream, who was surrounded by enemy spies everywhere, so that he could more conveniently launch the plan. However, he did not expect that Prince Tortheldrin would be so fierce and chose the most tragic self-destruction. This affected Xavius's real body in the dream, and he had to rest here to recover.
This delay allowed the Druids all over Emerald Dream to discover his whereabouts, and this was the scene Aaron saw. The monsters around Xavius were all transformed by him in a hurry, which allowed the Druids to crush them so easily.
Originally, Malfurion was worried that this was a trap of Xavius, to lure him here to carry out some conspiracy, but Aaron's statement dispelled Malfurion's doubts, and what he has to do now is to seize the time to catch Xavius.
"Have you notified Ysera?"
"Already notified, but..." Malfurion seemed to hesitate whether to say this, but finally said it anyway, "His Majesty Ysera is currently investigating Shaladrassil. The withered World Tree seems to be affected by Nightmare."
"Shaladrassil..." Aaron reacted, then remembered that this World Tree is the withered World Tree of Val'sharah. The birth of Shaladrassil was before Nordrassil, which can be regarded as the exception of Mother Tree. The oldest World Tree besides G'Hanir.
For Emerald Dream, Shaladrassil is even more important, and what's worse...
"Teacher, if Nightmare's power also corrupts Shaladrassil, then the Satyrs imprisoned there..." Fandral Staghelm, although emotionally I was depressed, but my mind was still clear, and I immediately remembered a very bad thing, "If those Satyr are also affected by Nightmare, I'm worried that Xavius will be more able to cope with it."
"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Malfurion has thought of this a long time ago, but since Ysera has rushed to investigate the matter, Malfurion is not too worried, after all, that is the powerful Dream Queen.
"So teacher, what should we do next?" Fandral Staghelm asked Malfurion. Xavius's performance just now didn't seem that strong, but what if Shaladrassil Satyr, who was imprisoned, was also pulled into his hands by Xavius, so things were a bit worse. War of the Satyr back then caused Night Elfs to suffer a lot.
"I will continue to search for traces of Xavius. You should also pay attention to the spread of Nightmare after you go back," Malfurion said to Fandral Staghelm ordered, "Nightmare's power is not very strong now, but if it spreads to reality, there is no guarantee that it will not lead to wars like Dryads and Taunka."
"Yes, teacher." Fandral Staghelm responded respectfully. Although Malfurion often slept for hundreds of thousands of years, Fandral Staghelm would not hunt down his teacher because of this. Besides, regarding Emerald Nightmare, he was already very guilty.
