Azeroth: Starting with Eagle Eye in the Necropolis

Page 77

This spell was inspired by Rhodes. Ten thousand years ago, Rhodes and Malfurion failed to complete the spell, but ten thousand years later, Cenarius and Malfurion, with the help of some things left behind by Rhodes, successfully developed the spell.

Next, Cenarius began to explain in detail to Rhodes the spell that summons an earth elemental giant, including its casting principle. This spell is now a very important spell for druids.

It can summon a powerful bodyguard to join the battle, but this spell is different from summoning elements; it only lasts for four hours, and the number of bodyguards available is not as large as that of summoning treants.

Therefore, unless a suitable tank is needed, druids will not easily cast this spell, and only archdruids have enough mana to cast it.

Rhodes nodded and began to learn from Cenarius, but the spell was clearly beyond the scope of basic wisdom magic, and Rhodes regretfully discovered that he could not learn this move.

It seems to be a level 4 spell. Although it only summons a single elemental being, this elemental being is much stronger than an ordinary elemental being. First of all, the ability to heal itself is something that earth elements do not possess.

Seeing that Rhodes was unable to learn the spell, Cenarius's eyes revealed a hint of understanding, because Rhodes did not know the spell in his time either, but he had put forward the concept of the spell and even cast the spell that summoned earth elementals.

“It seems you are unable to grasp the secrets of this life magic. It’s alright, Rhodes, don’t be discouraged. You will learn it in the future,” Cenarius said, patting Rhodes on the shoulder.

“I understand, Professor Cenarius,” Rhodes nodded and said.

If nothing unexpected happens, among the level 5 magic guilds, there should be one that can easily summon the Earth Elemental King using level 5 magic at dawn.

Normally, players pray that this move won't be used, because for earth magic, Thunder Bomb is actually more practical, as it's the single-target spell with the highest damage.

"The reason I'm telling you this spell is so that you can integrate it into your own system in the future. In the future, you will be able to summon a large number of elemental entities at once, and these elemental entities can be changed by various elements of Azeroth. This Life Earth Giant is just a variant of the spell that I have researched."

“Professor Cenarius, I’m actually trying to permanently summon these elementals. Even the High Elves are helping me research that female mage, mainly to help me research this.”

"It's obvious you've also studied other things, such as the creation of life, right?"

"Ahem, you're joking."

"I'm not kidding you anymore. You told me these theories ten thousand years ago. I can't help you summon earth elementals unless you can conjure up a magic scroll for me to see."

I've only seen you use this earth elemental giant a few times; it's just a highly imitated version.

"If I had the Elemental Scrolls, I might be able to develop a perfect version." Cenarius hesitated; there were some things he shouldn't tell Rhodes.

In the future, the fire elementals that Rhodes summons will actually have various variations, but it's not appropriate to say it now. The kid will achieve permanent fire elemental summoning in the future.

“I understand, Professor Cenarius. If I have the chance, I'll try to get you an earth elemental summoning scroll,” Rhodes nodded and said.

“I’m looking forward to it, but let’s talk about it after you return from the War of the Ancients. Come on! I’ll take you to meet our two guests,” Cenarius said.

Rhodes has been staying here for almost ten days, and the Night Elves are almost ready. Today he received news that Malfurion has been awakened by Tyrande and is on his way. The Burning Legion is a big deal for the Night Elves.

Rhodes and Cenarius reached the edge of the forest, and soon a huge eagle descended from the sky.

After landing, the giant eagle transformed into a male night elf, over 2 meters tall, with antlers and bird feathers—Malfurion himself.

The woman sitting on him was a slender female night elf with a white dress, dark green hair, purple skin, and sparkling eyes. She was Tyrande, the leader of the Sisterhood of the Moon.

Chapter 128 Malfurion Tyrande, the Bewitching Holy Light

"It's been a long time, Rhodes." Malfurion approached Rhodes with a look of emotion, then rushed forward and gave Rhodes a big hug.

Like old friends who hadn't seen each other for years, Rhodes gave Malfurion an awkward hug. Please, we don't recognize each other at all now.

However, it seems that he and Malfurion have a pretty good relationship, something the Archdruid rarely shows to others.

“My dear, Rhodes doesn’t know us yet. Aren’t you being a little too enthusiastic? You’re scaring him,” Tyrande said from the side.

How I miss those days! But it would be even better if Illidan were here right now.

“Oh! I forgot about that. Lord Cenarius told us that you don’t recognize us yet, but after 1 years, Tyrande and I have missed you terribly,” Malfurion said, releasing Rhodes.

Next, Tyrande stepped forward and shook hands with Rhodes. It was clear that Grandma Tyrande wasn't as enthusiastic as Malfurion, but her attitude was still good.

"To you we are strangers, but to us you are a long-lost friend."

"To be honest, I've heard of you two. You are the current leaders of the Night Elves," Rhodes said with an awkward smile.

“That’s normal. Once you return from ten thousand years in the future, we can be like we were before,” Malfurion said.

"Please, my love, don't reveal too much about the future. You know it's not good for Rhodes," Tyrande said, rolling her eyes.

Rhodes is not the person they know now; they only look the same.

"Come with me, Tyrande, and my apprentice Malfurion. We need to discuss some things. How should we deal with the Burning Legion's return this time?"

The group nodded to each other, and then, led by the demigod, headed into the treehouse.

"Now let's talk about it in detail. About a month and a half ago, the human fleet of Lordaeron landed on our continent."

"This is an organization called the Alliance, composed of a young race called humans, dwarves, and our former brethren." Cenarius first introduced the situation of humans to everyone.

Now Rhodes represents not only himself, but also the human forces behind him. Unlike one person 1 years ago, Uther, Jaina, and Caponia all bowed to Malfurion and Tyrande.

The two returned the greeting politely. When Tyrande saw Caponia, who was of high elf descent, her eyes visibly rolled, and she glanced at Rhodes.

That expression seemed to say, "I knew it! You've got tangled up with those Highborne elves again. So that's where it all started."

“Rhodes, tell us in detail how this disaster began! Tell me everything you know,” Malfurion nodded and said.

“No problem, Archdruid. This invasion began several hundred years ago when Sargeras created a corrupted avatar of himself and sent it to Northrend, the colorful continent of Azeroth. It was there that Aegwynn, the Guardian created by humans and high elves, killed him.”

Aegwynn passed on her magic to her son Medivh. About 20 years ago, the orc race, corrupted by demons, first set foot in our world.

The plague swept through Lordaeron... Finally, in Dalaran, the undead lich Kel'Thuzad cast a summoning spell, successfully summoning Archimonde and a host of the Burning Legion's elite troops into our world. Rhodes explained in great detail, revealing the entire Burning Legion's conspiracy to everyone.

“We should have noticed all this sooner. This invasion actually started hundreds of years ago. It’s my mistake, and it’s also the mistake of the Night Elf race,” Malfurion sighed. Tyrande patted her lover on the shoulder to comfort him.

"It's not too late now. Archimonde's goal is clearly the World Tree. He wants to seize the power of the World Tree and then open a real Legion portal to let the Burning Legion's army descend upon Azeroth."

"Once the main force of the Burning Legion arrives, we will have no chance at all. We must stop it," Cenarius said.

“Rhodes, tell us how strong the Burning Legion is this time?” Tyrande asked.

“The Burning Legion currently only has a small number of demon troops; its main force is actually the undead. These undead are extremely afraid of holy light magic, a power that both humans and high elves possess,” Rhodes said.

To be honest, the power of holy light is really useful when dealing with demons, and even the high elves, who have a fanatical faith in magic, have learned this power.

"I know that the Holy Light Magic you mentioned is one of the six fundamental forces that represent the origin of this world, and it is the nemesis of fel energy and shadow energy."

"You wielded this magical power 1 years ago. Some High Elves have learned it, but our people no longer practice it," Tyrande said, glancing at Rhodes.

The members of the Sisterhood of the Moon worship the great moon goddess Elune, while the power of Holy Light, strictly speaking, belongs to the sun, a bright and positive force. Therefore, it differs from their faith. Believers in the moon goddess would never cultivate Holy Light.

But 1 years ago, Rhodes came to the night elf society. The high elves, who had thoroughly studied arcane magic, were also very interested in holy light energy.

However, they only learned this power; they did not believe in the Holy Light or become worshippers of the Holy Light.

In the eyes of the arrogant high elves, holy light, like arcane energy, is a power that can be tamed.

But never become a slave to the Holy Light or a fanatical worshipper. The power of the Holy Light is even stronger than fel energy, shadow energy, and other energies in its ability to bewitch people.

This energy can be used, but it must be used as a tool, not a slave to it.

This conclusion was reached by high elf mages after studying the energy of holy light.

"Praise be to the great Holy Light! If the nobles wish, I can impart the power of the Holy Light to you." Uther was overjoyed, never expecting that there were also those favored by the Holy Light on another continent.

Malfurion and Tyrande exchanged a glance upon hearing this. This person perfectly matched the research of the Highborne: a fanatical worshipper of the Holy Light, whose energy possessed a strong seductive quality.

“I’m sorry, neither I nor my people want to learn this power. We are worshippers of nature and moonlight, but thank you for your kindness,” Tyrande said.

Magicians in the past have studied that those who fanatically worship the Holy Light and receive it will see certain illusions.

They even saw the entire night elf community blessed by the power of the Holy Light, transformed into a shimmering, golden, light-forged life.

According to the Highborne mages, this is a kind of holy light deception, which presents mortals with an extremely beautiful future, causing them to worship it completely.

“We humans have been learning the way of the Holy Light for a long time. The Holy Light is great, loving, and selfless.” Uther felt it was his responsibility to bring the glory of the Holy Light to the Night Elf race.

However, this clearly aroused the resentment of Tyrande and Malfurion, and Rhodes was also somewhat helpless, as the power of the Holy Light was not as benevolent as it seemed on the surface.

If it weren't for the fact that the archangels were system-generated units, Rhode wouldn't have dared to let them come into contact with the power of holy light. The holy light he used wasn't summoned by faith, but was directly cast by the system's magic book.

As for the Holy Light Element, it is a variant of the power of light. Because it was summoned by the scroll, it completely obeys Rhodes's commands.

But if Holy Light becomes a Paladin's skill, then it's hard to say; even Rhodes doesn't know what will happen.

“Don’t rush, Lord Uther, let’s talk about something else first!” Rhodes said.

It seems I caused a great deal of change in Night Elf society 1 years ago! The power of Holy Light has actually been studied by the Highborne.

Could Quel'Thalas' research on the Holy Light also be related to them?

"I plan to lure the Burning Legion to the World Tree, let Archimonde absorb the power of the World Tree, and then awaken the ancient spirits to directly kill this commander of the Burning Legion," Malfurion nodded to the crowd and said.

When they were first awakened, the master and apprentice had a secret conversation. Cenarius told Malfurion about Rhodes' idea, and Malfurion felt that Rhodes' method was the same as his own.

“What? My love, if we lose the World Tree, our race will lose the power of immortality, and we will become like mortals, experiencing birth, aging, sickness, and death,” Tyrande said.

“This goes against the laws of nature. Our race was once cursed by the Well of Eternity, and we enjoyed 1 years of immortality. Now it’s time to use this power to save Azeroth,” Malfurion said.

“Actually, the Night Elves can plant another World Tree. No one has stipulated that there can only be one World Tree,” Rhodes said with a smile.

Rather than letting that idiot Fandral Staghelm plant the World Tree, it would be better to have the Archdruid do it himself, which would also avoid some of the trouble from the Emerald Nightmare.

“This is different, Rhodes. The World Tree was blessed by the five-colored dragons, which is why we night elves were able to become an immortal race.”

"Without the blessing of the five dragonflights, planting another World Tree will at most allow us to live a little longer, but it is indeed one solution." Malfurion nodded in agreement with Rhodes's statement.

“Then let’s do as Malfurion says! We’ll have a decisive battle with the Burning Legion at Mount Hyjal,” Cenarius said.

“My demigod, my love, and Rhodes, you may have forgotten someone else: Illidan can also help us,” Tyrande said.

Chapter 129 Dispute: Release Illidan, Tyrande, and Dried Bananas

As soon as Tyrande finished speaking, Malfurion and Cenarius's expressions changed almost simultaneously.

Jaina and Uther, who were standing nearby, were a little curious, while Rhodes knew what had happened.

“No, we don’t need that traitor. Let him stay in prison and never come out,” Malfurion sighed.

"Don't be so stubborn, my love, he is still your brother."

"Ten thousand years ago we fought against the Burning Legion together, and without Illidan's sacrifice, we wouldn't have been able to achieve such an easy victory," Tyrande said.

If Illidan hadn't infiltrated the Burning Legion as a spy, the outcome of the War of the Ancients might have been very different!

“But he’s a traitor, Tyrande, do you understand? He betrayed our race, and if it weren’t for my pleading with you, he should have been executed according to the rules,” Malfurion said.

“He is, after all, your brother. Now the Burning Legion has invaded our world once again. Illidan’s abilities can greatly help us fight against demons. He is a demon hunter,” Tyrande said, looking at Malfurion.

"The key to this war is how to kill Archimonde. Whether he's there or not, we can still win. Don't mention him again, Tyrande." Malfurion's tone was somewhat stern this time.
