Volume 3: Tides of Darkness Chapter 184: Have More Trust in Your Allies
In fact, Murphy had thought about learning magic.
After all, this is the former guardian, the most powerful wizard in the world of ethereal space, Lady Aegwynn.
If I could learn magic from her, I would undoubtedly learn many supermodel skills and powerful spells.
Even if you don't want to learn magic from Egg, you can get the Book of Medivh and study it by yourself.
In fact, the reward he first thought of was the Book of Medivh in Aegwynn's hand. This thing was just a quest item in his hands, but when it was handed over to Aegwynn, it should have returned to its original attributes.
The Book of Medivh is a divine artifact that records all the magical knowledge that Medivh possessed, and even the ancient wisdom from the demon lord Sargeras. It is priceless.
But Murphy didn't intend to take this thing. The Book of Medivh was a hot potato to him and played an extremely important role in the plot. Wang Xuan would never accept him taking the Book of Medivh away.
If I had gotten it by my own strength, then there would be nothing to say about it. But now I am also half an employee, and I got it with the convenience of Deathwing's incarnation, so naturally I don't have that much confidence.
However, this does not mean that he has no way to seek benefits for himself. Since the treasures that exist in the plot cannot be moved, those that do not exist in the plot can naturally be moved at will.
Now is a great opportunity.
"I need you to make something for me." Murphy said, and he told Lady Aegwynn about his plan, and finally asked -
"Well, can you do it?"
Aegwynn looked at him in shock, with a hint of alertness in her eyes. "Who are you? What do you want to do? Do you know how crazy your plan is?"
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "Haha, I'm just a little prince from a remote country. As for what I want to do, that's not something you need to consider. Sargeras is a threat to this world, and thanks to your magical operation, he now has the power of the guardian. If nothing unexpected happens, this world is doomed to be destroyed. Lothar and the others don't have any chance at all. I think you know this very well.
And here's a chance to save your son, to kill your enemies, to undo all the mistakes you've made, and if I were you I'd take it and not ask so many questions."
Aegwynn was a little furious. She was not a good-tempered person, but at this moment, she did not get angry. Instead, she pondered for a long time. Finally, Aegwynn sighed, and a resolute look gradually appeared on her face. "You are right - if there is really such an opportunity, I can make what you want, but I warn you, don't try to deceive me. An angry mother can do many terrible things."
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "Don't worry, I am always honest and keep my word. I will never joke about the lives of my friends. You should have more trust in your allies. So, is it a deal?"
Aegwynn (Guardian of the Celestial Realm): "It's settled, but I need some time to prepare. What you want is very troublesome, requiring a lot of precious materials and complicated magical craftsmanship. How about this, you come to me tomorrow at noon."
"No problem, then I'll wait for your good news."
At noon the next day, Murphy arrived at Stormwind Fortress on time.
He walked into Lady Aegwynn's residence with great anticipation, and followed the arcane servant into the alchemy room in the basement.
In the alchemy room, a huge magic circle was located in the middle of the hall. Lady Aegwynn was standing on the intricate and strange magic circle, melting several different magic materials together.
Arcanite, Mithril, branches and leaves of the World Tree, powder of the Soul Stone... these extremely precious materials were suspended in the air under the catalysis of powerful magic, and gradually merged into one, turning into a ring emitting a golden luster. The shape of the ring was ordinary, just a round golden ring.
Then Lady Aegwynn used the most powerful magical runes to carve a complex magical pattern on the ring, and enchanted it with ancient magical rituals to enhance its strength and power.
Finally, the ceremony was completed.
A ring appeared in the center of the magic circle.
Lady Aegwynn beckoned, and the ring fell into her hands.
She handed the ring to Murphy.
"This is what you want."
Murphy took it and looked at it.
"Are you sure this thing works?"
"Don't worry. For the safety of this world, I will never allow myself to make any mistakes."
Murphy nodded and said, "Very good, let's set off now and act according to our previous agreement." Murphy returned the ring to Lady Aegwynn and said, "After this is done, Medivh will be yours and this ring will be mine."
As he spoke, Murphy took out the Karazhan badge and directly activated the teleportation spell in the badge.
With a flash of white light, Murphy once again appeared in the teleportation hall of Karazhan.
He was somewhat anxious. Without the players' obstruction, Lothar and the others would soon arrive in Karazhan. If they were one day later, it might be too late.
Moreover, today is the day when the Dark Portal opens. The Alliance and the Horde might have already started fighting. I should finish the work quickly because I have to go back to the Dark Portal to join the fight.
He hurried upstairs, but before he reached the end, a private message appeared in the private message channel.
Wang Xuan: Brother Murphy, are you ready? It's time for Deathwing to appear.
Aidan: Sorry, there was a small hiccup and I'm afraid I'll need to be delayed for a while.
Wang Xuan: Damn, are you kidding me? The Horde and the Alliance are in a stalemate now. If you don’t show up, what if the Horde can’t break in?
Aidan: Don't worry. There's no way the tribe can fail with a million strong army. It just takes a little more time. And don't worry, I'll be there in a little while. That's all...
Murphy closed the private message and the door to Medivh's room appeared in front of him.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Medivh standing in front of the crystal ball with a furious look on his face.
Medivh (avatar of Sargeras): "Submit, Medivh. There is no need to waste any more time. Your defeat is inevitable."
Medivh (Guardian): "Do not expect me to succeed, Sargeras. I will fight to the very end. I will use all my strength to stop you."
Medivh (the incarnation of Sargeras): "You stubborn guy, don't you understand? The real threat to this world comes from this world itself. The old gods are the real evil. They are trying to corrupt this planet. Once this world is corrupted, the entire universe will be in crisis. Now the only way to save the universe is to sacrifice your world."
Medivh (Guardian): "Shut up, you devil. I will never allow you to harm my people or destroy my world. Your evil words cannot deceive me!"
Looking at Medivh talking to himself like a schizophrenic, with his expression changing from righteous to hideous and distorted, Murphy chuckled.
Aidan (the incarnation of Deathwing): "What's wrong Sargeras? It looks like you are in trouble again."
Medivh (the incarnation of Sargeras): "It's you again, Deathwing. Why are you here instead of going to the Dark Portal to welcome the arrival of the Horde?"
Aidan (the incarnation of Deathwing): "Don't worry, the Dark Portal has been opened. The Horde has gathered a million troops, and the Alliance only has Stormwind Kingdom to fight. The Alliance has no chance at all. But you, why haven't you dealt with Medivh yet? You are not fit to destroy the world now. Where are Lothar and the others?"
Sargeras pointed casually at the crystal ball, and the image of Lothar's team appeared in it.
Aidan (the incarnation of Deathwing): "Oh, we have entered Deadwind Pass. At this speed, they will arrive here in less than an hour."
Medivh (the incarnation of Sargeras): "So what? They are just a bunch of mortals. Death is the only thing waiting for them here. None of them will survive."
Aidan (the incarnation of Deathwing): "Haha, you are still so stubborn. Let me see who is here. Duke Lothar of the Storm Knights, Grand Arcanist Morgan Lisa, Elf Archmage and Ranger Lord of Quel'Thalas, Werewolf Assassin of Gilneas, Shadow Priest of Alterac, Champion Knight of Stromgarde, Tide Sage of Kul Tiras, Archmage of Dalaran...
Tsk tsk tsk, it seems there are quite a few people who want your life. These people are even more troublesome than the last group that came. Are you sure you can handle it alone?"
Strictly speaking, this time's lineup is indeed more luxurious than the last time. Although they are all heroes, these people are all from the national team. They are all real rich people with various deep backgrounds. The resources they have and the bonuses to their strength from their backgrounds and identities are extraordinary.
In comparison, although Ye Tiandi’s group is also very strong, they are at most the strongest civilian heroes. In this world where kings, princes, and generals are really powerful, the gap is quite big.
Not to mention that this time there is a real plot character Duke Lothar leading the team. He is the one who killed Medivh in the script and the male protagonist in the Warcraft movie.
He has the aura of the protagonist, so I just ask you if you are afraid.
Sargeras's face looked a little ugly, but he still insisted.
"Hehe, they are just a bunch of mortals. As long as I get rid of Medivh, I can kill them at will."
"But you can't solve it. Sigh, it hurts to see you trying so hard. Forget it, let me help you."
Sargeras looked unconvinced after hearing this.
"What can you do?" Sargeras asked with a look of doubt.
Murphy snorted coldly, "Hehe, I am the King of Black Dragons, the Guardian of the Earth, and a member of the Ancient Dragon Clan. The ancient dragon language magic that I master, especially the research on mortal souls, is beyond your imagination.
In the dragon language magic heritage of my race, there is a spell called Soul-Splitting, which can tear the soul apart.
As long as I use this magic on you, I can separate Medivh's soul from your body and get rid of this burden. Then you won't be constrained by anything. How about that?"
Medivh (avatar of Sargeras): "Let me think about it."
Medivh (Guardian): "Damn it, Aidan, you can't do this. You will ruin everything. Sargeras must be stopped."
Aidan (the incarnation of Deathwing): "I'm sorry, brother Medivh, Sargeras is right, this world must be destroyed, I will never allow you to interfere with my plan, although we have a good relationship, but for the sake of the overall situation, you must die.
Come on Sargeras, what are you thinking about, those people will be here soon. "
Medivh (avatar of Sargeras): "What do you need me to do?"
Murphy glanced at the magical light flashing on Medivh's body. This guy always has seven or eight kinds of protective magic on him. After all, although his magic power is strong, the mage's body is too fragile. This is not good. It will be difficult for Soul Breaking Spell to be effective with so many protective magics .
Aidan (the incarnation of Deathwing): "First you have to remove all the protective magic on you. Soul Break is an offensive magic. I can't use it like this."
Sargra immediately showed a vigilant look: "Are you planning some conspiracy?"
We are plotting a conspiracy. We are destroying the world, brother, what do you think...
Aidan (the incarnation of Deathwing): "Alas, what you said really makes me so sad. Don't forget that I saved you twice. If I really wanted you to die, you would have died long ago. We are allies who want to destroy the world together. It's not good for you to be so suspicious. You should have more trust in your allies."
"Look, that's Karazhan, we're almost there..." The voice of Duke Lothar came from the crystal ball at the right time, which became the last straw that broke the camel's back for Sargeras.
Medivh (avatar of Sargeras): "Well, Deathwing, I believe you."
As he spoke, Sargeras removed all the protective magic on his body.
"Let's go to the rooftop. I can't perform here."
The two came to the rooftop, and Murphy immediately transformed into Deathwing.
The huge black dragon looked down at the tiny humans in front of it.
"Get ready Sargeras. Once I split your souls, you will become two people. The power of the guardian is entangled with your souls. Who can get more depends on your own ability."
Medivh (avatar of Sargeras): "Hurry up, Deathwing."
The Black Dragon King nodded and began to chant the spell in dragon language.
Dragon language magic——Soul-breaking!
Boom! A purple light hit Medivh's body. In an instant, two overlapping figures appeared on his body. One had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a righteous face. It was the soul of Medivh himself. The other had an evil face, horns and tentacles, wings on his back, hooves under his feet, and evil eyes. It was the residual soul of Sargeras.
Under the effect of the soul-splitting technique, the two translucent figures began to slowly split apart. Although the figures were separated, a large white ball of light appeared in the middle, connecting the two people. That was the power of the Guardian , the powerful magic gathered by the mages of the Council of Tirisfal. Under the inheritance of successive guardians, it has now expanded to an extremely terrifying number.
Whoever can master this power will be the most powerful mage in Azeroth.
As soon as the two figures separated, they both reached out their hands towards the ball of light at the same time, desperately absorbing the guardian's power from the ball of light.
However, because the guardian's power was too great, the fight between the two souls for this power was difficult to determine the winner for a while.
Sargeras's soul: "Hurry up, Deathwing, attack Medivh's soul, kill him, and let me complete my final evolution."
Medivh's soul: "Aidan, I know you are still here. Don't bow to the darkness..."
Neltharion (Black Dragon King): "Please shut up for a moment, there is someone I think you all want to see. Come here, Lady Aegwynn."
In the sky, a white owl fell rapidly and instantly transformed into a beautiful witch in white clothes and silver hair.
Medivh's Spirit: "Mother!"
Sargeras's soul: "Aegwynn! Deathwing - you betrayed me? How dare you! You despicable reptile, how dare you plot against me like this."
Neltharion (Black Dragon King): "Hmph, enough Sargeras, I have tolerated you for a long time. Your incompetence and stupidity simply disgust me. You use the power of humans but are hindered by them. You pin your hopes on a group of brainless orcs, but are defeated by mortals again and again. I originally thought that the Demon King would be a powerful ally, but you disappoint me so much. Instead of wasting time on you, it is better to carry out my own plan .
Come on witch, it's time to put an end to this farce."
Aegwynn looked at the huge black dragon in the sky and felt suddenly realized and shocked. He was actually Deathwing. Deathwing had actually infiltrated the Alliance. What on earth was he going to do?
There is undoubtedly a more terrifying conspiracy here.
But now is not the time to be absent-minded.
Soul Torrent! A brilliant white beam of light shot towards the soul of Sargeras. The soul of Sargeras was trying to fight for the power of the guardian, and there was no room for dodging at this time.
Boom! The soul that was hit immediately dispersed, and the entity that had been gradually condensed also turned into nothingness again.
The residual soul of Sargeras: "Damn it, don't think you can kill me like this, I will come back." As he said this, he directly cut off the connection with the power of the Guardian and prepared to run away first.
However, the next second, a powerful force sucked him in and pulled him towards Aegwynn's palm.
The ring was held in Aegwynn's hand.
Aegwynn (Guardian of the Stars): "Evil souls wandering in this world, horrific existences that do not belong to this world, the incomplete consciousness of the Demon King, in the name of Aegwynn, I will seal you here! Seal you in this magic ring! For eternity!"
The suction force was getting stronger and stronger. Aegwynn's powerful magic could even confront Sargeras head-on, but it was actually something that a mere broken soul could not resist.
The residual soul of Sargeras: "No, let me go, I am the demon king, I am the dark titan, no one can do this to me! Ah..."
With a terrifying roar, Sargeras' soul was finally completely absorbed by the ring.
The soul was still struggling in the ring, and the ring was constantly vibrating, as if the evil spirit sealed inside was about to break out at any time.
But as Aegwynn cast the last rune, the ring finally calmed down.
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "Give it to me, Lady Aegwynn."
Aidan in front of her said calmly, holding out his hand to her.
Aegwynn glanced at her son, who was still absorbing the power of the Guardian and had not yet fully formed. She knew that now was not the time to turn against her.
Aegwynn (Guardian of the Astral Planes): "I hope you understand what you are doing, young prince."
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "Of course, don't worry, I won't try to destroy this world."
Aegwynn finally threw the ring to him.
Murphy caught it and nodded with satisfaction.
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "Well, farewell, Lady Aegwynn, Medivh, I suggest you leave here as soon as possible. Duke Lothar has brought people here and will soon enter Karazhan. They are here to kill you. Although Medivh has returned to normal, I don't think they will listen to your explanation."
After saying that, Murphy transformed into Deathwing again, flapped his wings, and flew away.
