"Let me speak, my lord." The person who answered was Master Nelos' dark elf steward Varona Nelas. If Wu Chen's adventure team hadn't taken action in time, she would have died at the hands of the Ash Monster. My gratitude to the lord is beyond words.
"Okay, ma'am." Wu Chen offered encouragement.
Steadying her mind secretly, the dark elf housekeeper Varona Nelas spoke calmly: "After crawling out of the tomb, Ildali established a base of revenge in the ruins of Fort Frostmoth and dug into it. She took out the corpse of General Falx Carius for the unfinished follow-up experiment of 'Heart Stone to Heart Technique'. She completely followed her own experience and transplanted a heart stone to the cold corpse. , successfully awakened the long-dead General Karius, but it was said that it was difficult to control the resurrected general's corpse. Soon, Ildali, who was eager for revenge, became more and more impatient. Finally, after two months of failure, Killed her experimental assistant and left the ruins, leaving behind 'Undying Karius' and his army of ash monsters to wreak havoc around Frostmoth Castle. Ildali wandered in the Ash Wastes, She also fell into a coma after exhausting the magic power of the Heart Stone, but was fortunately discovered by a group of miners from Highpoint Tower and kindly took her in. But when Ildali recovered from her weakness, she accidentally discovered that the Heart Stone could Cultivating ash monsters and completely driving her crazy. Growing more and more suspicious of the miners, she eventually used the ash monsters to massacre everyone who had kindly helped her, leaving only a few prisoners as subjects for experiments. The only miner to survive the ordeal Niyya, the Redguard woman who first became friends with Ildali, was also considered a traitor by her. It is said that Ildari seems to be creating a more powerful helper than the Ember Monster, which she calls 'Ember' Ash Guardian'."
After speaking, the dark elf housekeeper handed two "Ildari's Journals" to the housekeeper: "There are all the experiences of Ildari in them."
"How did you obtain "Ildari's Diary"?" the housekeeper asked on behalf of the lord.
"Assigned to a friend of mine at Crow Rock. We made an appointment to meet at the Sunstone that day, but we were attacked by the Ash Monster on the way. If the Baron's adventure team hadn't happened to meet him, my friend and I would have died." Darkness The elf housekeeper looked grateful.
"Okay, ma'am." Wu Chen had no need to doubt.
After seeing off Master Neros and the dark elf housekeeper Varona Nelas, Wu Chen took "Ildali's Diary" from the housekeeper and read it personally.
Some details left behind by the housekeeper Varona Nelas were quickly discovered by the lord: "The diary said, 'She can feel the call of the bones in the ashes. She can also answer the call of the bones. With the Heart Stone , she can bind souls to bones and ashes and raise a servant to carry out orders of vengeance'."
"So, the master thought that the 'bones in the ashes' were 'alive' in some way?" The housekeeper understood what the lord was thinking.
"Where is the nearest heartstone deposit?" He handed "Ildari's Diary" to Dawn Warhammer Xili for collection, and the Lord prepared to use his spiritual body's perspective to see it with his own eyes. This is the high-dimensional ability of the sanctuary that transcends the plot. Although because of the lack of mental power, it often disappears in a flash. But the moment of gaze was enough for the Lord to see into the origin of life. Because at its core, every soul is a unique being. Even two closest twins have different spiritual bodies.
"On the coast not far south of Termihi." Orela Telvani seemed to be familiar with this area. It is unknown whether Orella Telvanni lived in Thelmishlin for a period of time during her long journey to find her vampire mother. Of course everyone has a past. As we all know, "past experience" is completely meaningless to the lord who possesses the Crimson Dragon Break and can reverse the law of cause and effect. Just ignite the fireworks at your fingertips and your life will change in an instant.
"Okay, let's go and have a look." Wu Chen, who successfully intervened in the final plot clue and was in a better mood, smiled at Judgment Angel Shulia.
"As you command, my master." Judgment Angel Shulia obviously felt the master's good mood.
Because the New Jianfeng was in a "fortress posture" of constant defense, everyone disembarked from the relatively safe stern door.
Among the members of the Sword Wind, Breton ranger Anne, Nord dragon roar hunter Talia, and Redguard battle mage Proxi accompanied them. The wood elf alchemist Selvi, the high elf magic archer Tauri, and the captain Stormblade Angie stayed behind.
All rode horses of enchanted brass, forged specially for Fozenac. And he opened the engraved protective circle early to block the pervasive volcanic ash wind and the breath of annihilation wrapped in it.
Fortunately, it is far away from the Red Mountain. Although half of the landscape of Solseheim Island has been permanently changed, at least the northern highlands and mountains are still covered with snow-capped skies. It is also the area where Nordskall Village and Frostmoon Cliffs are located. Two companions, the female werewolf Yodis and the shaman's daughter Freya, have returned to their respective homes first. Make the necessary preparations for your lord's next adventure (please ask me, sir, where is the preparation?).
Soon, the adventure team led by the lord himself arrived at the nearest heartstone deposit.
Far away, from the perspective of the lord's spiritual body, he could see the scarlet energy circulation in the mineral deposit, as well as the rhythmic pulse vibration. That familiar feeling was like "a dark heartbeat" he felt in the Stone Fortress.
Just as Master Neros recorded about the earliest Ash Servants appearing on the island of Sothheim.
Ash Servants are "creatures" that roam the Ashlands in the south of Solseheim. They began to appear on this island after the Red Mountain eruption in 4E 5. The eruption covered the southern part of the island with a thick layer of ash. They crawl out of the scalding ashes and possess the Heartstone within their bodies, which is the substance "sprayed" when Red Mountain erupted. It is said to contain the energy of Lorkhan's Heart, which made the Boneburier of Southheim Resurrection mixed with volcanic ash. They are immune to poison and highly resistant to fire. Although unarmored, Ash Servants are incredibly tough and drop valuable ores upon death. Neloth's apprentice Ildali Saloshiri mentioned in her diary that after she replaced her heart with the Heart Stone, she could hear the bones in the ashes calling her, and she learned to bind the soul to the bones. Create more powerful ash servants.
"Master, what did you see?" Judgment Angel Shulia trembled from the bottom of her soul at this exposed heartstone deposit. The feeling of not even wanting to stay for a moment was something she had never experienced before.
"I saw the criss-crossing energy veins under the ashes. It was like newly solidified lava, and like the 'blood veins of ashes'." Wu Chen said what he saw almost in one thought: "It is all over the southern South Sea. The land of Mu's ashes. The heartstone deposit is like the blood scab, or blood clot, coagulated in the blood vessels."
"Ashes' blood, blood scabs, and blood clots." The housekeeper thought thoughtfully: "So the master also thinks that this is the energy from the heart of Lockhan."
"That's right. It is indeed the 'irrigation of Lock Khan's hard work.'" Wu Chen seemed to have thought of something: "Shuliya, after returning to the Blade, open the Holy Light Gate again."
"As you command." The Holy Light is the nemesis of all darkness and corruption. Likewise, Dark Rot works against the Light. Judgment Angel Shulia has already tried it. Opening the Holy Light Gate in the Ash Wasteland without the protection of the magic ring will quickly collapse. So the lord asked the Judgment Angel Shulia to return to the New Sword Wind with the protection of the magic ring, and then open the Holy Light Gate.
"What does the master want to get?" the housekeeper asked softly.
"Star of Azura." The Lord smiled happily.
"Is it the black star that was corrupted by the Necromancer?" Judgment Angel Shulia also seemed to have thought of it.
"Yes, that's the black star." The Lord turned his attention to the west of the island, shrouded in the endless volcanic ash wind - Frost Moth Castle.
