Chapter 376: Dilemma (Part I) (3rd Watch)
Patrick and Kael'thas stared at each other for a few tens of seconds, silent.
There is no point in tempting, everyone is smart and knows this, so Patrick directly asked the question he wanted to know the result the most: "Why did you choose Kilgardan?" ”
Without a trace of obscurity, without any concerns, and even without leaving a little face for the prince, Patrick's words directly showed that he already knew about the relationship between Kael'thas and the demon, and the faces of the four advisors changed, and they never expected that Patrick would directly ask about the cooperation between Kael'thas and Kil'Gardan.
Kael'thas showed a helpless wry smile on his face, and did not directly answer Patrick's question: "You also think that I have become a lackey of the devil?" Unscrupulous for the sake of power, turning their backs on all the people who trust me? ”
Patrick smirked, "If I thought you had joined the Burning Legion, you wouldn't have come here at all." In a simple sentence, he made his position clear.
It's very simple, if Patrick wants to do something, or if he wants to directly replace the Sunseeker family, what is Patrick doing here, anyway, Kael'thas is already with the demons, and it is also tenable in righteousness, so it is okay to directly send his subordinates to join Shattrath, unite with Shatar's coalition army, and bury Kael'thas in the outer lands, and he is not comfortable sitting in Silvermoon City.
"If I really turn my back on my people and become a lackey of the devil, what am I leading my troops to attack Storm Fortress for?" Kael'thas was full of helplessness: "I have already been in contact with Kil'Gardan, and I need to stay in the Dark Temple and secretly find an opportunity to replace Illidan." Kil'Gardan no longer trusts Illidan, because of the failure of the Frozen Throne and Illidan's small actions, only Naga led by Vasqi in the entire Dark Temple is the only one who is loyal to Illidan, but unfortunately they have already gone to the Zangar Swamp, and the distant water can't save the near fire. As for the demons, those chaotic creatures have no loyalty, and they listen to whoever has the biggest fist. ”
"How many Night Elves are there in the entire Dark Temple? Strictly speaking, Illidan is just a light commander, and even the personnel deployment of the Dark Temple needs my help. If I stay in the Dark Temple, with Kil'Jardanken's help, I can find a chance to replace Illidan as the new ruler of the Dark Temple, instead of leading my own troops to this Storm Fortress. ”
Kael'thas slowly recalled: "When I was harassed by Garithas, my forbearance not only did not return Gallishas's respect, but made this arrogant guy even worse. In the end, we had no choice but to follow Vasqi's advice and take refuge in Naga's master, --- Illidan. ”
"Illidan taught us how to take the power of demons and transform them into magic. I and the other blood elves rely on hunting demons to draw strength to survive and delay the erosion of demon addiction, but this cannot meet our needs, the evil energy of demons is polluted after all, we are not demons, and absorbing evil energy for a long time will only make us demonic. ”
Patrick knew that there was a reason for this, that he had taken out the platinum disc, which threatened the position of the Sunstrider family, and forced Kael'thas to flee in search of reliable magical energy. If you absorb evil energy for a long time, in addition to being controlled by demons, it will also cause the demonization of the body, Patrick clearly remembers that on the Magister platform, those blood elf warriors who absorb evil energy are almost semi-demonized.
"Pure arcane is a drop in the bucket for Quel'Thalas. The arcane energy I use the platinum disc to alleviate the threat of addiction and keep Quel'Thalas running on a daily basis is no match for the Sunwell. ”
Kael'thas affirmed, "Yes, the source of the Well of the Sun is the spring of the Well of Eternity, and the energy released by this spring is not only arcane energy, but also the power of nature, which has the ability to delay aging and increase lifespan. Even if you cure the addiction and save the entire Silvermoon City, our lifespan will drop dramatically, which is one of the reasons why I had to leave Quel'Thalas. ”
"Illidan provides me with new energy, but he himself can't resist being corrupted by evil powers, and in the long run, we will also be completely reduced to demonic elves." Thinking that Illidan had grown demon horns and bat wings, Kael'thas couldn't help but feel helpless: "So I secretly contacted Kil'Gardan and asked Kil'Gardan to send his own minions to reopen the dark door, and at the same time, only with Kil'Gardan here, can I suppress Illidan to the death and prevent him from interfering with me and my men." In the hope that one day, we will be able to return to Azeroth after escaping the control of the evil powers. ”
What Illidan gave, after all, was not what Kael'thas wanted, this was the point of disagreement, but Kael'thas's approach made the blood elves and Illidan separate, and Kael'thas himself fell into a state of isolation.
"News of the Storm Fortress has reached Azeroth, and now the entire Storm Fortress has been labeled as a lackey of the demons by the Sha'tar coalition." Based on what he knew, Patrick said, "The so-called City of Light is absorbing a large number of people in the hope of destroying all demonic forces. ”
Speaking of Shattrath, Kael'thas remembered what had happened before and couldn't help but sigh: "As a student of my ancestor Darth Rema, and my teacher, he is well aware of the consequences of cooperating with demons, and Volettar does have his own concerns. For him, there is no hatred, and what annoys me about him is that he shakes the other subjects. ”
"Is it possible to turn back?" Listening to Kael'thas, Patrick tried to ask.
"It's not possible." Hearing Patrick's words, Kael'thas himself didn't want to get out of Kil'Gardan's control, and compared the strength of himself, Patrick and Kil'jadan, Kael'thas shook his head helplessly: "The erosion of evil energy is deeper than I imagined, and Kil'Gardan's strength is not something we can compare." In a way, I am no match for Illidan, whose body has been completely altered by evil powers, but he is not controlled by Kil'Gardan, and is not a doll in the hands of demons, like Naozu, to be slaughtered. ”
Nao Zu got power from the demons, the price is to sell his soul, or spiritual faith, Kil' Gardan through the erosion of evil energy, slowly completely control Nao Zu's soul, so, no matter where Nao Zu escapes, he will be easily captured by Kil' Gardan.
