If only two people, Aaron and Vereesa, want to return to Azeroth, it is actually quite easy. For Illidan, who has mastered the two artifacts Skull of Gul'dan and Eye of Sargeras, it is not difficult to open a portal connecting the two worlds.
Skull of Gul'dan records the spatial coordinates of Azeroth recorded by Gul'dan. This part of the information mainly comes from Medivh, and Eye of Sargeras can provide sufficient energy.
But if you want to bring the expeditionary force home with you, or even bring Draenei with you, then things will become a little more troublesome. The expedition that came to Outland and survived the sudden changes in the series of battles and the disintegration of the planet There are still thousands of soldiers, and the number of Draenei is more than ten times more. Although this population is extremely dangerous for a once prosperous race, it is still not an ordinary portal that can send them through.
Of course, if Illidan is willing to work hard and maintain the portal for a while, he may not be able to send all of them back to Azeroth, but firstly, Illidan may not have the patience, and secondly, Aaron also wants to get through The connection between Azeroth and Outland is also what Azeroth means. After all, Aaron's visit to Outland is not just to help Illidan defeat Magtheridon and help people move.
In this way, it is necessary to open Dark Portal, and the things involved in restarting this portal are not that simple. Although the existence of Eye of Sargeras saves the trouble of finding a way to charge Dark Portal, the impact of opening this door is still great, so Aaron decided to discuss this matter with a professional.
This so-called professional is Khadgar. He was once the apprentice of Medivh, and later obtained Book of Medivh. The most important thing is that this seemingly old Archmage once personally closed down Dark Portal, twice.
In terms of magical attainments, none of the Outlands can be found to be stronger than Khadgar. Although Illidan was once an outstanding Arcanist, he has changed professions for more than 10,000 years.
"Reopen Dark Portal? How could you have such an idea?" Khadgar frowned after hearing Aaron's thoughts from Shattrath. This young and experienced person Archmage is well aware of the danger of Dark Portal: "If you open that door... both worlds will be extremely seriously affected. You should know the situation of Blasted Lands and Hellfire Peninsula, right?"
"This kind of influence should be controllable, right?" Aaron's idea is very simple. In the game, Dark Portal existed for another five or six years after it was turned on, and Blasted Lands was not attached. The recent Swamp of Sorrows and Zul'Gurub have been affected by the related effects. Although it must be considered that the game is not as realistic as it is in reality, Aaron believes that there must be a way to control this effect.
"It's true that it's impossible to control..." Khadgar glanced at Aaron and lowered his head in thought. He could see that Aaron was aware of the situation related to Dark Portal. After a while, he raised his head again and said with a smile, "Actually, I have really considered how to control Dark Portal's damage to the surrounding area."
For Khadgar and the expeditionary force soldiers, it would be a lie to say that they do not want to return to Azeroth. During this process, they will naturally think of Dark Portal. After all, it is a proven path.
Khadgar, who has closed the portal twice with his own hands, sometimes considers the impact of opening the portal. After so many years of thinking, he has gained something. "The biggest problem is that the power of that door is too high."
"What?"
"Gul'dan and... well, when someone built Dark Portal, it was the first time they tried it, so they had to leave a certain amount of redundancy.
To avoid failure to take effect," Khadgar was vague when talking about Medivh
His feelings towards his teacher are quite complicated.
"And they opened the door with the intention of sending the Orcs army to Azeroth, so it can be said that they tried their best to pour energy into the door.
And this excess energy is one of the main reasons why Blasted Lands and Hellfire Peninsula become like that."
"So we want to reduce the size of Dark Portal?" Aaron barely understood what Khadgar meant and asked, "If that's all..."
"Of course it's more than that
"Khadgar shook his head: "Forget about ordinary portals.
Permanent cross-world portals also cause the two worlds to affect each other
The reason why we desperately destroyed the portal in the first place was because we were worried that the big explosion that occurred at Draenor would affect the other side of the portal."
"But now the big bang has passed..."
"The big bang has passed, but Outland is still collapsing continuously. I'm worried that this trend will affect Azeroth." Khadgar actually doesn't know whether the collapse of Outland will have an impact on Azeroth
But it's always better to be careful.
"This way... I think it should be fine
But to be on the safe side, I'd better go back and ask." The person Aaron wants to ask is naturally Azeroth himself. Who knows a planet better than World-Soul?
"Who are you going to ask?" Khadgar looked at Aaron in confusion, and it seemed that Aaron didn't want to know more
I had no choice but to suppress my curiosity and just said solemnly, "Although I also want to return to my hometown."
But in the end, it's all about caution."
"What are you talking about? Come back with me." Aaron smiled and took out a scroll. These are the coordinates of Azeroth that he asked for from Illidan. Khadgar should be able to open the return portal after getting it, right? Anyway, Illidan didn't say no.
"Go back together?" After Khadgar took the scroll and read the information left on it by Illidan, his eyes widened and his whole body began to tremble. He recognized at a glance that the coordinates recorded on it were a coordinate. Combined with what Aaron said, it was obvious that this was the way home.
"If I have these coordinates, I can..." Khadgar calmed down his excitement. He had not seen the scene where Illidan threw all the Watchers back to Azeroth, so he did not know that Aaron and his group actually directly controlled the way home.
"If the coordinates are complete, maybe you don't need to pass through that dangerous door," Naaru A'dal, who had been floating silently in the center of Shattrath City, suddenly said, "The spaceship used by Draenei is enough to send you to that world, and Holy Light also told me that their future lies on that planet full of secrets."
"I'm going to find the prophet now." Khadgar said excitedly immediately. After saying that, he rushed out of Hall of Holy Light to find Velen who was still at Shattrath.
