"Mr. Aaron, I have been thinking about it all night. There is no need for you to accompany me on the adventure. The road to magic research is hard and difficult, and it has nothing to do with you." Walking in the water outside the Nar'thalas Academy, Kel'Thuzad leaned on his staff and said to Aaron.
Aaron rolled his eyes and said to himself, I don't want you to die in the hands of Farondis.
Just like Kel'Thuzad thought about it all night and decided not to let Aaron get into danger with him, Aaron was also hesitating last night whether to give up the plan, but thinking of the sincere light in Kel'Thuzad's eyes when he mentioned his research, Aaron made up his mind that such a person should not die here.
"So what if he turns into Lich in the end?" Xal'atath's devilishly seductive and depraved voice sounded in Aaron's heart.
In terms of inducing people to fall, Xal'atath should be considered the same as the devil who signed a contract with people and collected their souls in the legend of Aaron's hometown. Xal'atath's most recent achievement was to lure the followers of Shadow Priest Natalie to kill their guide and continue to cause Immolation tragedies in the wilderness of Eastweald.
"Then let me try Naxxramas once. I happen to be quite interested in Corrupted Ashbringer."
"Hey." Xal'atath made no movement after that.
"Vereesa, looking at these ruins, what do you think?" Aaron turned to look at Vereesa.
After learning that Aaron and Kel'Thuzad were going to carry out a somewhat dangerous plan in the morning, Vereesa followed him because he was very interested in those Undead.
Out of the idea that it might be easier to communicate with those Undeads with Vereesa present, Aaron decided to take Vereesa with him. If his plan goes well, then this trip may not be too dangerous.
"Look, that's where the ghosts of the magicians are. I guess it's a magic academy or a magic city-state similar to Dalaran." After confirming Aaron's determination, Kel'Thuzad stopped worrying about this issue. After the three of them walked for a while on the shore, Kel'Thuzad pointed at a circular building built in the lake and said.
It was a tall building made of white stone, but there were many defects on the surface, and the blue dome on the top was also damaged a lot. You could see many shadows moving inside and outside the building, and some shadows would also cast several spells, as if they were doing spell-casting exercises.
"If I had observed the specific situation carefully at the beginning, maybe I wouldn't have rushed in." Kel'Thuzad looked at the group of ghost mages and said with some emotion. At that time, he was so excited that he made such an impulsive move that he almost lost his mind.
"Master, you..." Vereesa heard Aaron say this when he left the camp. There are also some High Elfs who do crazy things because they are too obsessed with research. Teacher, so Vereesa has more recognition of Kel'Thuzad's behavior. This feeling also diluted the disgust she felt after learning that Kel'Thuzad studied Necromancy.
Although the High Elfs mainly follow the Arcane path, their respect for life is still immersed in their traditions. In the opinion of Vereesa, Kel'Thuzad Necromancy's research is a blasphemy to life. Although Vereesa would not kill Kel'Thuzad because of such a thing, she still kept a considerable distance from Boss Kel.
Kel'Thuzad is already used to this kind of treatment. The situation he encountered when he was at Dalaran was much more serious than this. There is reason to believe that this is because Vereesa has never seen Kel'Thuzad's research with his own eyes, and has never heard the vague whine coming from the Kel'Thuzad research room in the middle of the night.
If you think about it this way, since Kel'Thuzad has not been jointly expelled by the mages of Dalaran, it is probably because the algorists are more tolerant and compassionate.
"I found a good surveillance location nearby, and I will take you there." Kel'Thuzad pointed to a nearby hill and said to Aaron and the two of them.
"Well, it is indeed a good hiding place." Vereesa looked at the surrounding environment with a professional eye, nodded, then pointed to a nearby tree and said, "Let me go over there, the view over there is better, and you can see the blind spot here."
After finishing speaking, Vereesa walked under the tree, looked up at the tree, and jumped up the tree with great skill. After the branches and leaves swayed a few times, Vereesa completely disappeared under the cover of the tree crown. Aaron searched for a while but could not see where Vereesa was.
"Look over here, that guy is coming." Kel'Thuzad reminded Aaron, lying on the ground. Aaron helplessly made the same action as Kel'Thuzad, hiding most of his body.
Soon, a shadow wearing luxurious clothes came over. Aaron felt that it must be Prince Farondis. From the appearance, Farondis was more like the men of the night from Kalimdor. To put it simply, it was not very good-looking and a bit wretched.
"What a full spell wave, Aaron, your caution is necessary." Kel'Thuzad whispered to Aaron. This was the first time Kel'Thuzad observed the target he selected so closely. He only found such a suitable location for an ambush after paying the price of being chased and beaten by Nightwatchers's troops several times.
Farondis slowly walked along the lake shore towards the ruins of the Nar'thalas Academy, but he did not go in. He just stood on the shore and looked at the ruins in the ruins from a distance. The back view even gave people an inexplicable feeling of desolation.
"Maybe I really did something wrong, but at that time..." Prince Farondis murmured as he looked at the dead souls of the people who once accepted his rule.
This prince once launched a hasty rebellion after Queen Azshara opened the portal to summon demons, but was cast a powerful curse by the first mortal Azeroth. Since then, the elves of Nar'thalas have become such a state of revenant souls that cannot even die. This state has lasted for ten thousand years.
What's even worse is that this Prince Farondis never seemed to think of explaining this matter to his people, but just silently endured the curse from the people he once wanted to save.
"I think it's almost done." Aaron nodded and made a few gestures to Kel'Thuzad, indicating that he would act as planned.
Kel'Thuzad nodded at Aaron, and the two quietly retreated from the area that might be seen by Farondis. Originally, the mages had a spell that could make them invisible, but considering Farondis's own magic skills, the use of this spell would most likely be detected by the opponent, so the two chose this relatively crude concealment technique.
Although there was temporary guidance from Vereesa, according to Vereesa's evaluation, the level of the two of them was: unsightly, but it was enough to avoid attracting the attention of Farondis, who was looking at the ruins of Nathanos academy with emotion.
However, before the official action, Aaron still needed to make some preparations: he flipped the big book in his head to the toy interface and activated two of the toys that had already lit up.
In the eyes of Kel'Thuzad, Aaron first turned into the appearance of High Elf, although the eyes were green, and then Aaron became transparent, and finally turned into a ghost-like form. At least in appearance, Aaron was now indistinguishable from the ghosts of the elves in this area.
Seeing Aaron's appearance, Kel'Thuzad closed his eyes and sensed it for a while, then said in surprise, "It's amazing. There is no trace of magic on you. It's like you are in this state. Although you can sense it carefully, there are still some differences from Undead. But at this distance, the prince won't be able to detect this difference."
"Then why don't you take action quickly?"
"Do you really want to do this?" After Kel'Thuzad confirmed again, he finally took action: he whipped out a fireball and hit Aaron, and Aaron turned around and ran away.
