Capuel II: The Battle of the Chapel of the Light's Wish (7)
When Tirio? Fording and Tyran? Ferdin, father and daughter, joined hands and completely tore apart the undead scourge blockade that was in chaos without the leadership of Kel'thugad, and took Darien, who seemed to have lost her power? When Mograini returned to the Chapel of the Wish of Light, Gao He also had a deeper understanding of the strength of this former one of the five great paladins.
According to the texts of the Silver Left Hand Knights, among the five holy knights, the power of the lightbringer Usa is focused on redemption and healing, and until her power of the Holy Light is exhausted, the troops she leads will not suffer any damage or attrition; Gavin Rad? In addition to her unshakable defenses, her powerful knightly aura protects all her comrades who fight alongside them, making their armor strong and their convictions, and even the mounts under them have a faster gallop and can move freely on the battlefield.
Unfortunately, in the face of the tide of the undead scourge, Ursha and Gavenrad were powerful, but they could not resist the endless enemies, and finally fought in Andohar, with the death of the two in the frost sorrow of Arthas, the Knights of the Left Silver were officially destroyed.
Sedan? Da Sohan later became one of the leaders of the Scarlet Crusaders, and he was a rough man with a rough personality and a more violent and direct two-handed battle axe instead of the "redemption and justice" advocated by the Paladins, which seemed to him to be more of a warrior than a paladin.
It also turned out that among the five paladins, he possessed the weakest power of holy light, which also led him to be almost unable to resist the opponent's mental control when facing the Dreaddemon King, and eventually became a pathetic puppet.
And Tulayan, who was once Anduin? Lord Lothar's aide-de-camp, the Paladin, and the Guardian Knight, who survived as her most reliable right-hand man, was killed in the battle in which Rosa finally died. After all, he chose to give up the way he insisted on guarding, inherited Lothar's broken sword and will, and vowed to punish any evil who wanted to invade the human home with holy light.
Speaking of which, among the five paladins, only Tirio? Fordin, the paladin who returned to his hometown of Hearthvale after the Second War, has always truly embraced "protection" as his belief as a paladin.
But. He has always taken it as his responsibility to protect his daughter and family, but what he finally chose was not redemption or protection, but a punishment that seemed to be completely out of line with the two.
Both Usa and Tulayan had expressed doubts and puzzlements about the choice made by the eldest of the five paladins, but. Even after the biggest change in his life, Tirio? Fording still sticks to the path he has chosen and has never changed.
As it turned out, his choice ...... There's never anything wrong with that.
Redemption and protection, this was once the belief and will that most paladins have always carried out, but in the war against the undead natural disaster, instead of holding such a belief, they finally died. It is better to punish these evils that should not remain in the world before the minions of the undead reach out to the objects to be protected!
"Good work, paladin."
As if he hadn't experienced the fierce battle that Gao He had seen before, Tirio? After handing the hammer to his daughter Tyran, Fordin gestured gently to Gao He.
"Seriously, I didn't expect the defense of the Chapel of Light's Wish to last until the moment we returned."
"Ah...... In fact, even I didn't expect it. ”
Gao He shook his head with a wry smile. Looking at the Scarlet Crusader cavalry who had already begun to clean up the mess, and then to Darien? Mograine's body.
"She'......"
"It's not going to be good, and my Light can't heal her."
Tailan's brows frowned slightly, although the meeting with Gao He again made her look radiant, but the current situation was really not the time for the two to talk about their friendship intimately.
"Ember Bringer...... What went wrong? ”
Compared to Darian herself, whose eyes are closed now, Gao He cares more. It is the one who can now feel the dark power emitted more after close contact...... Once the Sword of Light.
“…… Like the qiē experienced by Mograini himself, the sword also felt the darkness suffered by its bearer. ”
In this regard, Old Ferdin's answer was quite embarrassing.
"About that. Let me explain. ”
Just as Gao He was about to continue to ask, the Delaney Paladin, who had returned from the battlefield, the heroic Madera, came to the side of several people.
"After coming to the world of Azerohi, I have carefully learned about this part of the history of the Ember Bringer, about its birth...... and the source of its power......"
Marder stretched out his hand, and lightly touched the rune-covered blade with his slightly glowing fingers.
"Buzz ......"
Gao He was surprised to see that the holy light on the fingertips of the Delaney Paladin was quickly swallowed by the body of the Ash Bringer's sword, but the sword itself did not seem to have made any changes.
"If my guess is correct, then, the materials for casting the Ashbringer ...... It was the Draenei who had lost it in the war against the Incineration Legion...... Atama Crystal. ”
Atama Crystal?
Gao He blinked his eyes and looked at the little sao hoof in front of him suspiciously.
Let's be honest...... Perhaps because of preconceived notions, Gao He always felt that this alien species, the Delaney, was more appropriate to be "Korean" than "Germans" - at least, the strength to take care of his own race no matter what, the two were really the same.
First there was the prophet Velon, who claimed that "the Holy Light is Muru", and now there is the Draenei garrison in front of him who says that "the Ember Messenger is made of Atama Crystals......
"You just said that the two leaders of the Incineration Legion are Draenei......"
Although it is true that the Draenei are grateful for their desperate efforts to help this time, it does not prevent Gao He, who is a paladin, from defending his native faith.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished saying this, he saw Markera nodding in surprise.
"I didn't ...... That's right, I didn't think you already knew......"
“……”
Look, the true body of the so-called Draenei is definitely the number one stick in my universe, and Smecta has not run away!
Perhaps for the same reason, Old Fordin, Tyran, and Silver Dawn were all speechless for a moment, and Markera took it as a sign that everyone wanted to keep listening.
"In distant antiquity. We faced an evil enemy from the Twisted Void, when the Great Prophet inadvertently obtained the Seven-Colored Atama Crystals left behind by Naru who had descended from ancient times to Draeno in the sacred mountain of Washugu......"
Yes...... Okay, and then the next little sao hoof is about to say that if you bury these seven crystals in the soil, you can grow seven big and small, hard and soft, spitting water and fire, stealth peeping, and also bring an old grandfather's bear child...... That's probably the story?
“…… Relying on the Atama Crystal, we have escaped evil pursuits and established a safe and hidden refuge. This peaceful life will continue forever, but ......"
Madera's voice grew extremely heavy.
"Among our people...... Out of two traitors. ”
Although for a moment he thought of another way to break the sentence, Gao He forcibly shifted his attention to the situation at hand.
“…… Kilgardan and Akmund, the noblest of the race, the Eredan, turned their backs on the entire Draenei race and defected to the Incineration Legion, becoming the two highest-ranking commanders outside of the Legion leaders. ”
Speaking of which. Madla bowed deeply to everyone present.
"It was Akmund, one of the two, who led the Incineration Legion and invaded the world of Azerohi, for this reason...... I and all my people are so sorry. ”
“……”
Originally...... And there's such a secret.
To be honest, Gao He didn't know much about the battle led by the Savior Saiyan and the whole of Azerahi against the Incineration Legion. The only thing he knew was that the commander of the Incineration Legion had ended up in ashes under the World Tree in Mount Hyjal, and the world of Azerahi had been rewarded with a rare peace.
“…… What you call the Atama Crystal...... What's going on? ”
This time it was Tirio who spoke? Fording - No doubt aware, while realizing that the topic was a little off, the paladin also had a slight objection to the previous claim by the Draenei that the Ember Bringer was made of some kind of crystal with a strange name.
"In that war born in Draenor, the Draenei were eventually defeated by orcs who drank the blood of demons and became berserk, and many cities fell, in the process. The Atama Crystals, which were enshrined as holy relics and stored in various cities, were almost all lost and fell into the hands of the orcs. ”
Speaking of which, Markera once again turned her attention to Tirio? Fordin.
"If I'm not mistaken, cast this crystal of the Ember Bringer...... It's from the orcs, right? ”
“…… That's true, but ......"
Galeries Lafayette seems to want to refute a few words, but. Madera, however, has already begun to gradually translate the inference into reality.
"In the Atama Crystal that was lost by Draeno and confirmed to have fallen into the hands of the orcs, the yellow one was called 'Brilliant Dawn', which was the crystal with the purest light power among the seven atama crystals, and the orc warlocks used its power to create the purest shadow energy. and used against the Draenei priests......"
“……”
Gao He, who knew something about the history of the birth of the Ash Bringer, heard this, and almost believed Madera's inference.
In fact, the casting material of the Ember Bringer, a "crystal containing pure dark power", was found by Mograine near the corpse of an orc warlock after the Battle of the Black Stone Tower, and when the dark power was dispelled, it bloomed into pure light, and finally became the "Ember Bringer", the divine sword with infinite power of light.
"Since you said that the Brilliant Dawn is a crystal that represents the purest power of the Holy Light, then ......"
Gao He pointed to the now black ash messenger.
"Why did it become the way it is?"
"Young paladin, you have to know one thing, where there is light, there must be shadows."
Madera tried to use the light in her hand to cleanse Darien's decaying aura, but she also failed.
"The Atama Crystal is not an object, an item, as you imagine, it has magical powers, or rather...... It has a consciousness of its own. ”
"Self...... Conscious? ”
Tirio? Fording looked thoughtfully at the fallen Ember Bringer who had been reduced to darkness.
“…… I think. Perhaps the Radiant Morning felt the despair of its bearer at the moment before it fell into darkness, so in that moment, its own power and form were completely reversed, and it was ...... from pure light Transformed into pure darkness. ”
At this, Madera sighed softly.
"I think maybe the Prophet Vilun has a way to solve this qiē, even the Prophet can't do anything about it. We can also request Adal...... But now ......"
"Now, what can you do...... The only way to meet the coming death is to meet it.'"
Suddenly, the voice that came into consciousness made everyone's attention turn to the regrouped Knights of the Black Edge, and their leader, located on the north side of the Chapel of Light's Wish...... On the Death Knight Arthas.
Even the army of the undead has now been completely defeated by the death of Kel'thugad. The leader of the Death Knight still had no intention of evacuating, and, judging by what he was saying now, it seemed that Arthas was still intent on continuing his assault on the Chapel.
"Arthas? Look at what you look like now......"
If Tirio? It was at this moment that Fordin noticed that Alsace's existence might be unlikely, but it was only now that he was truly confronted by the prince of his former homeland.
"That's enough. Tirio? You and I both know that this fight was unequal from the start.'"
Arthas shook his head unconcerned at Galeries Lafayette's heart-wrenching words.
"Actually, I didn't expect you to be alive and present here today, at this time, of course. For me, it may also be a ...... An unexpected surprise.'"
He pulled out Frostmourn, the magic sword in his grasp, radiating evil and dark energy.
"I suppose you can replace Alexandros? Mograine, become the most powerful Death Knight under my command.'"
"No, Arthas. Your ambitions will not succeed. ”
Tirio? Fordin regained his hammer, and in the next second, pure and majestic light burst around his body, illuminating the boundless darkness.
"What...... You think you can fight me with this kind of power?'
From the helmet of Arthas. Suddenly, there was a soul-stirring laugh.
"You have never experienced the power of frost sorrow, and when you feel it...... You are dead.'
"Buzz ......"
The runes of the magic sword suddenly became brighter.
The ice-blue light reflected in the endless darkness, and soon, a figure quietly emerged from it.
When this figure appeared, Gao He couldn't help but shudder.
The unimaginable cold invaded his body at this moment, making his consciousness and soul seem to be completely frozen at this moment.
His mind slowed down, and even he saw that the air he exhaled froze instantly, turning into scattered fragments of ice crystals.
Although he was holding a fiery weapon that was said to originate from the bottom of the earth, the Fire Demon Hand that had been damaged in the previous collision with Frost Sorrow was unable to wield any power to resist this unprecedented cold at this moment.
In this cold, which almost completely froze people from body to heart, Gao He clearly saw that the girl who had come out of the sorrow of the frost with a cold face was stepping barefoot on the frozen earth, walking slowly.
"Frost Sigh ......"
Arthas's voice, as if coming from another world, could be transmitted into Takawa's consciousness the moment the girl came to the Chapel of the Light's Wish.
"Enjoy what you're looking for...... Delicious soul.'" ……
