Chapter Eighty-Nine: Obtaining the Book of Medivan
The town of Southsea was originally a possession of Lordaeron, but when Lordaeron was destroyed, it was rumored that Prince Arthas had fallen, and only a missing princess was left in the royal family of Lordaeron.
Without the restraint of royal power, these former territories are naturally similar to a small independent kingdom.
Especially in the area around Nanhai Town, there are too many refugees and defeated soldiers, and its population has long exceeded that of the Kingdom of Dalaran and Gilneth.
Now that Su Chen has returned to Lordaeron as Arthas, it is a matter of course to recover these former territories, but for those lords who have become divided, they are not necessarily willing to give up the power and interests they have already obtained, and they will definitely encounter great resistance if they want to recover their territories.
However, as things stand, the battle against the Scourge of the Dead is a protracted battle, and it is impossible to recover Lordaeron with a small Hearthplace Valley in the north, and the Alterac Mountains are too barren to provide enough war supplies to even feed the refugees.
Only the towns of Tarummere and Southsea, which have reoccupied the fertile fields, will have a chance to grow and develop!
It's just that if you don't have an army in your hands, it's impossible to expect those lords to automatically send the land and population to their doors.
However, the human armies that he can mobilize are all in the north, and the undead armies of the Barov family cannot appear in front of the humans at all, let alone use them to occupy Nanhai Town.
"It looks like we'll have to raise an army in the south." Su Chen secretly thought, but he couldn't help but start worrying about Mograine and the others in his heart, and he didn't know how many troops they would have left after they broke through, and from the time estimate, Sylvanas's ranger troops should have also arrived in Hearthdale.
After disposing of the Book of Medivan, it is time for him to rush back to the Hearthvale to see what is going on in the north, after all, this is the focus of his current business, and the plan to control Southsea Town and Tarummere can only be put on the back burner.
"Your Highness, what's that thing you're pulling behind you?" Illusia didn't know the plan in Su Chen's heart, and seeing that he had been lowering his head and pondering at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little cramped for a while, so he asked curiously and casually.
"It's the Book of Medivan." Su Chen didn't hide anything from her.
"The Book of Medivan? One of Dalaran's most important treasures?! Illusia couldn't help but look surprised.
Hearing this, Gianna smiled bitterly and said, "Not really, according to the teacher, this book is not very useful for mages, but it is very important for the undead natural disaster." ”
"Well, I've also heard that most of the records in the Book of Medivan are about demons, treasures that those warlocks dream of, how did you get it, Your Highness, did you steal it from Dalaran?" Illusia seemed to have finally calmed down, but when she looked at the treasure room, her eyes still showed excitement.
Su Chen's face couldn't help but blush: "Ahem...... How could I be one of those treasure thieves, stolen from Dalaran by the Undead Scourge, and Gianna and I came to Alterac in pursuit of it. ”
"Oh, the Scourge of the Dead trying to steal the Book of Medivan?" Illusia was a little surprised.
"Well, I guess it's trying to summon demons or try to build something similar to the Dark Gate." Gianna yawned slightly, looking a little tired.
Only then did Su Chen realize that the sky had begun to darken.
"Gianna, your body is relatively weak, the mana consumption of the battle just now is too great, hurry up and rest, I am guarding the Book of Medivan here, waiting for Modra and them to arrive." As Su Chen spoke, he motioned for Illusia to take Gianna to a safe place to rest.
"Well, you have to be careful." Gianna said that after nearly a day of running around the snowy mountains and fighting the Crypt Lord, she was indeed very tired, and now she relaxed, and her sleepiness immediately came up.
When the two girls left, Su Chen's gaze immediately fell on the treasure room.
"Can you really open this chamber?" Su Chen asked Zhi Nao Xiaohei, with irrepressible excitement in his heart.
"The defensive barrier above involves some rules of strength, so it is difficult to forcibly break it, but what I am best at is analyzing and calculating these nobles, and I can solve them with a little more energy." There was some pride in Black's voice.
However, this guy does have the capital to be proud, and the rules of various powers involve the foundation and origin of this world, which should be the most mysterious thing, which is difficult for ordinary people to understand, but it only takes some time and energy for this intelligent computer.
"Then crack it quickly, remember not to damage it, we have to return it." Su Chen was a little anxious to grope around the cold treasure room, although it was already dark, and it was difficult for the mage team behind to track him over the mountains and mountains at night, but it was still possible for a great mage like Modra to chase after him alone.
"I'll do it, don't worry." Blackie's voice sounded triumphantly.
As Zhi Brain began to analyze, Su Chen could clearly feel that his physical strength was declining, causing him to start looking for something to eat.
When a piece of barbecue was halfway through, Xiao Hei's voice sounded again: "Okay, the rules have been parsed, open it and take a look." ”
Hearing this, Su Chen hurriedly went to open the treasure room, and this time he was finally not rejected by the defensive enchantment, and opened the door of the secret room very easily.
There was not only a book of Medivan in the secret room, but also a large number of messy magic scrolls, which could be placed here were probably valuable, but Su Chen's goal was not on these scrolls.
He soon found his target, a large, thick book with a red cover of unknown material, bordered with gold metal and drawing the coat of arms of a flying crow.
"The Book of Medivan is finally here!" Su Chen held this thick magic book, his fingers couldn't help but tremble a little, this thing was definitely a mage's artifact.
"Flip through it and I can quickly write it all down." Xiao Hei's voice sounded in his head, and this guy was also a little excited, but with his powerful ability to travel through time and space, he was definitely not interested in the content of the book, but excited about this act of 'theft'.
Su Chen hurriedly opened this heavy book, but he soon found that even though Alsace was not bad in terms of culture, it was still too far behind those mages, and he didn't even know most of the content in this book.
"Your Highness, what are you reading?"
At this moment, a surprised and slightly excited voice came from outside the door, but it was Iluxia, who was wearing a white trench coat, who had returned at some point.
