27. The followers of the shadows --- added to the Silver Alliance Lord Raven 1131 [7/30]

Nassa promised Buddy, the goblin, that she would buy him a day before meeting the Great Lord of the Darkblade, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

But this does not mean that Nassar would be stupid enough to stop Tyrion directly, on the contrary, perhaps the Warden who had just received the power of blood was unruly, but after following Tyrion for four years, even the most stubborn Nassar has accepted the fact that her fate and Tyrion are linked.

Although many times, she would habitually cause some small troubles to her "master", but in her heart, the forbidden connection of blood recombination still made her get closer and closer to Tyrion every day, until she finally became the most loyal shadow of the Great Lord of the Dark Blade.

It is precisely because of this blood connection that Tyrion trusts Nassar very much, and while the Lords of Death are busy expanding their power for the Dark Blade, the Blood Watchers in charge of stealth operations have never relaxed, long before Tyrion first crossed the Dark Gate, he was in Buddy. Moore left two watchmen there, Kodana. Evil Song and Marais. Shadow, he gave them a special mission.

Within the Eastern Continent, look for some lost "artifacts".

Of course, the artifact Tyrion is not referring to the weapons related to the Titans, the Death Knight knows very well that anything related to those "gods" is dangerous, so he narrowed the target a lot, it is easy to find, can be used immediately, and the legends that circulate are extremely rare, and the star movement mode of the two Wardens is also specifically required, at least not to take the initiative to find those well-known legends, such as the sword of the human emperor Alathor - weapons such as the Exterminator.

Of all the "artifacts" known to Tyrion, Saratas was undoubtedly the easiest and most dangerous to obtain, and there was even a time when the Death Knight even wanted to give up looking for it.

In a sense, the weapon was as evil as the Apocalypse, and frankly, the stories that came out of it were more evil than the cold rumors of the Apocalypse.

"Da, da, da"

The sound of horses' hooves sounded in the forest outside the cemetery of the Silent Garden, and in a short time, Tyrion and Aurelia in black robes appeared in front of the watchers, and the Death Knight turned over and dismounted, without any words of communication, he silently followed Nasa into the cemetery, and the closer he got to the center of the cemetery, the remaining dark power in the cemetery became more and more powerful.

"It's not here."

Tyrion finally walked into the abandoned chapel at the back of the cemetery, and in front of him, there was an open tomb in which a decomposing corpse was buried, and the Death Knight did not approach the corpse, he reached out to stop Aurelia from approaching, and he whispered:

"There's nothing to see about this corpse, but there's no doubt you're in the right direction, Nassa, he was indeed killed by Saratas, his soul drained, and it looks like a... Disgusting living sacrifice. ”

"Cultist stuff."

Nasa waved her hand in disgust, and Kodana, who was standing aside, swung her shovel and quickly buried the body again, and after the earth was filled, Nasa stood beside Tyrion, and she said with some hesitation:

"We should have continued our search, but after I discovered the mad darkness this thing hid, I decided to stop, High Lord, I'm not unhappy with your decision, but no matter how strong that weapon is, it's not worth the risk with our best assassins, it's... It's so weird, not even in the Watcher's Crypt, there's nothing so weird. ”

"So, this Salatas?"

Aurelia asked, frowning:

"What the hell is it?"

Tyrion didn't answer the question immediately, instead looking at Kordana behind Nasa, who hurriedly explained:

"It's a weapon, the Master's Mother, a magic weapon, judging by the wounds on the corpse, it should be a weapon similar to a ritual dagger, about it, Marais and I have collected a lot of information in 3 years, but most of it is broken, but there are two stories that we have identified as real, and through them, you can probably appreciate some of the ... Evil hobbies. ”

"Then let's talk about it."

Aurelia stood beside Tyrion and looked at her husband who was lost in thought, and she shrugged:

"I'm listening."

Kordana, the Blood Watcher, cleared her throat and began to tell the crazy and chilling stories she had collected in the cemetery, less than 10 minutes away from Nighttown.

"In the beginning, after everyone left Azeroth for Draenor, Marais and I began to walk the Eastern Continent to carry out the orders of Lord Tyrion, and the first "artifact" we found was Saratas and the Reaper of the Wind. ”

"When Marais traveled to Karazan in search of the Reaper Against the Wind, I also set out with me to the Burning Plains, the underground city of the Black Iron Dwarves, where a not-so-ancient, but very interesting story was told."

Kordana reached out and took off her owl helmet, and the braided elf girl first glanced at the crowd in front of her, and then spoke in a strange tone:

"Mordgood, the Black Iron Witch 300 years ago, the wife of the old Witch King Thorrison, came from a very noble background, at least for the dwarves, and she carried on the family tradition of studying magic. Evil and insidious, but quite gifted, the witch queen has the most powerful magical artifacts that the Black Iron Dwarves have collected in history, such as the Witch King's Staff, such as the Sealing Slab, she is very greedy, for knowledge, for magic, extremely greedy! ”

The voice of the Blood Watcher became more and more eerie, and Anaya, the least daring watcher, quietly walked out of the small chapel of the cemetery, and she said to herself:

"I had a hunch that Kordana was going to tell another horror story, so I still... I'd better go on patrol. ”

Anaya's departure did not interrupt the spirited Kodana, who continued:

"Mordgood often hired the best dwarven explorers to unearth some antiquities for her to study, and at first there were no problems, until one time a dwarf brought back a blade wrapped in darkness."

Kodana's eyes narrowed, and with malice, she said mysteriously to her companions:

"And this is the beginning of the nightmare!"

The witch queen was quickly intrigued, and she spent a long time studying the dagger. Even missed the big scene at the beginning of the Battle of the Three Hammers, and the guards saw the witch queen mysteriously talking to her weapon more than once, and the dagger was carried by her side all the time. ”

"It's nothing..."

Aurelia frowned and said, "In Quel'Thalas, there are also many weapons that are very mysterious, the magic sword Flame Strike inherited by the royal family also has its own soul, it is said that it will not let its own power be used by people outside the bloodline of the Sunstrider, and the same is true of the magic bow that I used. ”

"No, no, no, Mistress, these two are not the same!"

A mischievous look flashed in Cordana's eyes, and she murmured in a soft voice:

"The witch queen once remembered something, she was eager to meet the dwarf who had brought back the blade, and she said she wanted to thank him in person. But she searched the entire Darkfurnace City, and she couldn't find him, and what was even more weird was that no one could remember the dwarf's name and his face, as if... It seems to have disappeared out of thin air, and it seems to be... Never! ”

"It's the witch queen's fantasy, or the weapon wants to fall into her hands... But she herself didn't know where the sword came from. So, the first time she held that dagger, her fate was already sealed! ”

The atmosphere in the chapel was a little weird, Aurelia pursed her lips, Nasa smiled dismissively, and Marais. The Shadow looked nervously left and right, and Mirana had already followed Anaya on patrol at some point, but Tyrion was still frowning, sitting in the corner of the church, thinking about something alone.

"Everyone knows the end of the witch queen, she died in Grimbaatar, but before she died, the black iron dwarf still had an absolute advantage, in fact, the brute hammer prince Kaderos was desperate at that time, he launched a counter-raid in a desperate way, it was impossible to succeed, but he succeeded, surrounded by tens of thousands of black iron dwarves, he killed the witch queen alone... And do you know what the last words of the witch queen before she died? ”

The Blood Warden breathed a sigh of relief, and she imitated the sound of the dwarven urn, and said in a deep voice:

"No... You promised... Yes, that dagger, the weapon she never left her with, abandoned her at the most critical moment..."

A cold wind blew into the chapel just right, making the hair on the back of Aurelia's neck stand upside down, and the Windranger subconsciously looked at her husband, she was not frightened by the story of Kodana, but the strange dagger, how it sounded like the magic sword Apocalypse held by Tyrion, and the Windranger had also seen the oppression of the apocalypse on the sword wielder... She didn't want the same ending to happen to her husband.

"I know you don't believe it, but the story is true."

Kordana sat in the rotten chair, played with the sharp dagger, and whispered:

"Every Black Iron Dwarven Warlock knows this story, and many of them, are chasing Saratas, but unfortunately none of them succeeded, the dagger was like losing interest in the dwarves, and after 300 years, it appeared again, but this time, it fell into the hands of a human."

"Natalie Selin, Bishop of Light of the Stormwind Kingdom, she lived through the tragedy of Stormwind City being captured by the Orcs, she vowed revenge, but at that time, she heard rumors about some orc warlocks looking for a dagger in the territory of the Stormwind Kingdom, and then she went and single-handedly snatched the dagger from the orcs, no one how she did it, but unlike Mordgood, she was given another power by this weapon."

Kodana's second story is much simpler, and she herself lacks interest in this story, probably because of the lack of some horror elements, which makes Kodana unable to lift her spirits.

"Bishop Natalie was not as determined as she thought, she did not destroy that dagger, how did she think that one could defeat a force that she did not understand? Another classic nightmare began, she learned a lot from that hand, and the weapon was consciously controlling her, whether she was awake or asleep, the Blade of the Dark Empire would whisper to her. ”

"She's a priest, but that weapon gives her the knowledge that is so different from the Light, it's the opposite of the Light, the Void! It's the kind of shards you find in Draenor, very similar powers, and Natalie thinks she can find a way to use them between the light and the ebb and flow of the Void. Well, she succeeded, but she also failed. ”

At this time, Tyrion, who had not spoken, suddenly opened his mouth to pick up the story of Kodana:

"The Shadow Priest believes that she can cross the line between Light and the Void, and that she can use the power of light and darkness to achieve a great future for herself and the world. But she overlooked the fact that any great power has a price, and she ignored that walking in the shadows always has a price. ”

The High Lord of the Death Knight stood up, straightened his robes, and whispered:

"Natalie. Selin is no longer saved, and the weapon will abandon her like it abandoned Mordgood, and just recently... Living sacrifice, tsk, the priest lady has probably forgotten her duty, she has been lost in the beautiful fantasies that Saratas has prepared for her. ”

"You're right, Nassa, you're right, we can't be disturbed by the Void Forces, at least not now, and that weapon is called the Blade of the Dark Empire for a reason, I can't tell you the truth about it, but now, stop the pursuit of Saratas immediately, even if we are only one step away from it, that weapon shouldn't stay with us... No one can control it. ”

Tyrion coughed lightly:

"She's tired of Natalie, she's looking for the next interesting soul, but maybe we can offer an interesting soul to Saratas, and it's a shame to let it disappear for a few more decades."

The Great Lord of the Dark Blade turned his gaze to Nasa beside him, and he asked in a low voice:

"I have heard that our noble Privy Councillor, the Chaldean priest, seems to have a problem with some of my requests, and that he feels that he is on the side of the light, that he feels that he is a hero? He doesn't think he's the same as us evil necromants... It's a pity, I would have wanted him to take on more important responsibilities and missions, it's a pity..."

"But since the Chaldean priest wants to be free, then I will give him freedom..."

Tyrion waved his hand:

"I also promised to give a gift, it's time to keep that promise, and honestly, I'm looking forward to the clash between him and Benedictas."
