The game pod was constantly scanning, but some areas were still difficult to scan due to severe energy interference. Some areas had strong magical barriers, while others were points where spacetime converged.
Unlike what's shown in the game, this place isn't safe except for the bosses and mobs.
In fact, many places here are not safe. On his way to the opera house, Jiang Jie saw several illusions. Some illusions were harmless because they were just projections of other dimensions. But some places were not safe because they were real intersections of dimensions. Some monsters would come out of them, such as some phantom hounds that had already died, and ghostly customers who had died but did not know they were dead.
When Medivh died, the sudden burst of dark magical energy instantly killed the tower and every creature in the entire Deadwind Pass, leaving none alive.
Of course, it was easy for Jiang Jie to deal with; what was truly terrifying was the tower itself.
There are magical barriers everywhere, but no magical traps. Neither Aegwynn nor Medivh need magical traps.
Under no circumstances should you climb over walls or windows, otherwise you will definitely trigger magical defenses and you won't even know how you died. As long as you follow the roads and stairs of Karazhan itself, there will be no problem. At least Jiang Jie, who holds the Karazhan Key, will not trigger any magical defenses because he has been recognized by the tower as a guest of Karazhan.
This is the true value of this key.
Jiang Jie quickly arrived at the opera house and saw a ghost dressed in formal attire.
"Ah, a guest has arrived! What you're holding is... the Karazhan Key? The host actually gave you the key? So you can come and go in Karazhan at any time? You must be a very important guest! The host said that he must make sure the important guest is satisfied! Very well, I'll go check out today's program! Oh, by the way, one actor is missing, would you please fill in as one?"
The ghost talked to himself and then walked toward the stage.
"Wait! Barnes, you're the stage manager here, right? I'm saying, can we skip the performance today? I'm in a hurry. I'm a guest, and you're going to make me an actor? Is this how you do things?" Jiang Jie quickly intervened.
Just kidding, I didn't come here to be an actor, and besides, what kind of performance is this?! Other performances are for money, this performance is for your life!
"No, no, many audience members are waiting, there must be a performance! If I don't perform, the master will punish me. You see, the door to the lower level is closed. Barnes won't open it for you if you don't participate in the performance. You are an actor now, and you must perform before you can leave." Barnes turned around, bowed politely to Jiang Jie, and then continued walking towards the stage.
What is all this nonsense?
There are mandatory requirements to become an actor? Is this an opera house run by the mafia?
Are you out of your mind, or is this really what Medivh is asking for?
Well, Medivh was already possessed by Sargeras's spirit while he was in this tower, so he could accept any strange orders.
Jiang Jie had no choice but to follow them onto the stage.
Below the stage on the left was the audience seating area. Jiang Jie really wanted to jump over there, but Xiao Feng stretched, yawned, and then waved his hand. An image appeared in Jiang Jie's mind—an image of the edge of the stage, which turned out to be a very powerful magical barrier!
Xiao Feng reached up and tucked his disheveled hair behind his ear, then warned, "Host, I suggest you stick to being an actor. The energy intensity of this magical barrier is extremely high, Legendary level!"
Jiang Jie frowned slightly. "Can't we just use scanning and analysis to crack it?"
"Okay!" Xiao Feng nodded readily, then said, "Using 0% of the total energy should be enough to break it."
puff!
Jiang Jie nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Just want to save some time, and you have to use 0% of your energy? The game pod currently has 0% energy.
Breaking Dalaran's current Violet Citadel Barrier is already possible, okay? A Legendary- level magical barrier, does it really need that much energy? Is it that difficult?
"This magical barrier is perfect, almost flawless. The only minor flaw is that it appeared after the tower itself malfunctioned. Furthermore, the entire magical barrier of the tower is a unified whole; affecting one part affects the whole," Xiao Feng explained.
"Alright," Jiang Jie helplessly.
It seems that no magical barrier in the entire tower can be broken; we can only follow the rules of this tower.
At this moment, Barnes had walked to the center of the stage, faced the audience, bowed at a 90-degree angle, and then extended his hands, saying in a loud voice, "Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready?"
A cheer erupted from the crowd.
Jiang Jie looked towards the audience seats.
At this moment, one after another, illusory figures appeared out of thin air—they were actually a large group of ghosts!
The audience seats were almost completely full, with a rough estimate of over a hundred people.
"They're all elite level," Xiao Feng reminded him.
Jiang Jie didn't need any prompting; he could guess it himself.
Since entering this tower, all the living beings and Undead they have encountered have been elite-level, and even a fully armed soldier might not be able to handle them. A hundred elite-level Undead together would give even Jiang Jie a headache.
As expected of Medivh's Mage Tower.
During World War I, Garona once said that Medivh alone could wipe out all the Orcs.
At that time, the Orcs who came from Draenor numbered in the hundreds of thousands, and almost all of them were elites. They overwhelmed Stormwind City and then marched north, defeating all the nations without resistance. This forced the humans, Dwarves, Gnomes, High Elf to form Alliance. During this period, they also experienced internal strife between Blackhand and Orgrim, and between Orgrim and Gul'dan. Otherwise, it would have been uncertain whether the Alliance could have won.
Simply put, it can be argued that a prime Medivh could single-handedly wipe out the entire Alliance.
This contraption created by such a Keeper is indeed not to be underestimated.
"Tonight, everything will become a blur of reality and illusion, making it difficult to distinguish truth from falsehood. Tonight, your eyes will deceive your hearts. For example, this old lady is waiting for her granddaughter. Obviously, the gray-haired old lady poses no threat. But I can't say too much, or the performance will lose its appeal. You must see the truth hidden beneath the disguise for yourselves."
Barnes said, "Now, the show begins!"
So, is it the story of Little Red Riding Hood?
And I'm playing the role of Little Red Riding Hood?
Barnes left quickly, then a flash of light appeared, and an old woman appeared.
"There's a point where time and space intersect; she came from another time and space," Xiao Feng continued, warning, "Don't go near there, or you might get swept into another time and space!"
Jiang Jie felt a chill in his heart.
Indeed, the real world is much scarier than the game. You can't get close to any place where time and space intersect, or something bad will happen!
"Wow, Little Red Riding Hood! What brings you here? Come to Grandma's, I have some delicious cake!" Grandma said with a kind smile.
How do I look like Little Red Riding Hood? Grandma, are you blind, or just plain blind?
"Hmm, I'll... kill you!" Jiang Jie had no interest in taking things slowly and didn't play by the rules at all, charging straight at "Grandma".
Three seconds later, the divine sword Strom'kar was ripped open, and before the Big Bad Wolf could even transform into a big bad wolf, she was killed by Jiang Jie with a single sword strike.
"It's boring." Jiang Jie shrugged.
Shouldn't the door be opened?
Jiang Jie turned his head, only to find that the door was not open, but Barnes walked in.
"Distinguished guest, why didn't you follow the script? I'm sorry, you botched it, and the audience is furious. So, please bear the brunt of their anger!" Barnes left the stage, and then...
close the door.
The next moment, the magical barrier at the edge of the stage disappeared, and hundreds of angry, gesticulating spectators floated up.
"I!@#￥￥%￥..."
Barnes, I want to kill you, okay?
Who is really going against the grain?
Hundreds of elite ghosts were indeed difficult to deal with, but when the Shadow Phoenix " Pyralis " appeared, in less than three minutes, all of these ghosts became food in Pyralis's belly and were completely devoured.
"Honorable guest, although your performance did not satisfy the audience, you still participated, so this is a token of your appreciation."
The door opened, and Barnes reappeared, handing something to Jiang Jie.
