Khadgar has always considered himself a person who accepts different opinions with an open mind. As long as what the other person says is indeed reasonable, he is willing to try to make changes.
However, this fool's bold attempt regardless of the occasion made Sarlayan dumbfounded.
It is true that, having lost the power blessing given by Apocalypse, and having one of his arms chopped off by Sharlayan, with blood flowing all over the ground, Eredin was weaker than ever at this moment.
But the full-covered black helmet on this guy's head is not a decoration, and the Staff of Atiesh is not as "non-mainstream" as the Staff of Balance.
With Khadgar's little strength alone, even if he knocked it from zero distance, it would at most make Eredin dizzy for a moment due to the vibration of his helmet.
There was no other way. Seeing that Khadgar had worked so hard to set up a series of traps and killed a dozen other black knights, Sarlayan could only sigh and help him wipe his butt.
"clang!"
After retracting the weapon, Sarlayan punched Eredin in the air with his bare hands.
Although there was no physical contact between the two parties, Khadgar, who was standing next to Eredin, clearly heard the dull sound of metal knocking. Eredin, who was full of questions, also fell down in response.
Sarlayan glared angrily at Khadgar, who was stunned on the spot: "Why are you just looking at me? Go to the wine cellar and clean up the mess. Are you not going to recycle the artifact?"
"oh oh!"
Khadgar woke up from a dream and hurriedly activated the pre-set space beacon to launch a short-range teleportation.
After a round of flames, all the movement in the wine cellar had long since disappeared. Khadgar quickly handled the follow-up work and returned to the gate of Karazhan.
Glancing at Eredin who was still lying on the ground silently, Khadgar asked Sarlayan in confusion: "What should I do with this guy?"
"ha?"
Sarlayan would also have a confused expression on his face: "What should I do? Do you want to collect his body? Just use magic to blow up a hole and bury it in it."
"Uh?" Khadgar scratched his head in confusion: "You killed him just now? I thought you just knocked him out."
Sarlayan curled his lips and complained: "Do you think I am such a kind person? The black knights who only follow the orders of Medivh...or Sargeras have no use value to us, let them do it. What? Are you seeking revenge from us?"
[Actually, it’s not impossible. These guys seem to be quite good at finding artifacts. 】
[Come on, the fundamental reason why they were able to find the artifact efficiently was Medivh...or the many artifact-related information left by Aegwynn. The so-called black knight is just a handyman responsible for running errands. 】
[As long as you can enter the library of Karazhan and find those materials, you can continue to collect artifacts efficiently even without the Black Knight. 】
With the destruction of Eredin and other black knights, the biggest factor of uneasiness before entering Karazhan was eliminated.
Next, Khadgar will begin to officially explore Karazhan and recover the "legacy" left by Medivh.
If there is enough time, Sharlayan also wants to accompany Khadgar to clear Karazhan.
As one of the lairs once used by Sargeras, the "backdoor" left by the demon king still remains inside Karazhan.
If the information provided by the barrage did not deviate significantly, there would already be a large number of demons living in the sealed Karazhan Tower.
These demons were led by an eredar demon named Malzahar...oh no, Malzahar.
In addition to the demons infiltrated by the Burning Legion, there are still a large number of twisted souls remaining in Karazhan who cannot be freed.
These undead creatures gathered under the hands of Moros, Medivh's former steward, and their time was still stuck on the last day before death.
In addition, there are defense systems including the Curator, Virgin Saint, Chess, and the Shadow of Elam that are dedicated to guarding Karazhan, as well as weird unnatural creatures such as the Night Demon and the Void Dragon.
It is basically impossible for Khadgar alone to have full access to Karazhan of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Sharlayan suggested that he try to reach a certain degree of deal and cooperation with Dalaran to jointly develop this internal space. The spell enlarges the area of the giant tower.
All kidding aside, Karazhan is like a small city.
Even if Khadgar could crush it all the way, it would take at least several months to explore all the space in the tower.
This is still not counting Reflection Karazhan.
"Dalaran..."
Sarlayan's suggestion made Khadgar hesitate: "Let me think about it again."
Since Khadgar couldn't make up his mind for the time being, Sharlayan didn't intend to rush him.
"I have just contacted Valeera. The battle situation on the Sodorir River frontline has not changed decisively yet. I can help you clear the first layer first."
The first floor of Karazhan, apart from the reception hall at the entrance, is mainly composed of stables and rooms for servants. The structure is relatively simple.
If the information provided by the barrage is correct, the person guarding the first floor is one of Medivh's followers, the hunter Atumen, who is responsible for providing hunting games for his guests.
Of course, Attumen had already died when the evil energy exploded in Karazhan due to Medivh's death, and now he continues to act in the form of an undead creature.
Moros is mainly active near the banquet hall on the second floor. These earthbound spirits are the same as the ghosts in the satellite town outside Karazhan. They will only move within a specific range without being disturbed by outsiders, and will not move anywhere. Leaving the door.
As long as he doesn't alert Moros, the leader of the Earthbinders, by entering the second floor, Khadgar can use this place as an advance base after taking down the first floor, without having to continue setting up a tent outside the tower.
As for how Khadgar will continue to develop Karazhan in the future, Sarlayan can't control that much. He can't always stay here as a nanny for Khadgar.
Knowing that Sarlayan still had time to continue to provide help, Khadgar immediately forgot about Eredin, who had already rushed to the street, and walked to the main entrance of Karazhan, skillfully removing Medivh before his death. The seal left behind.
"Ahem!"
The heavy wooden door opened after many years, and a large amount of dust blew in from the door, making Khadgar cough repeatedly.
Sarlayan waved his hand and summoned a gust of breeze, which rolled up the flying dust in the reception hall and blew it out of the door.
After a brief cleaning, the two officially entered the Karazhan Tower, which still had a slightly decayed atmosphere.
The legion of demons headed by Malzahar...Makzaar occupied the upper levels of Karazhan. Since the demons and ghosts were not in harmony with each other, both sides had remained in harmony with each other for more than ten years and clung to their own territory.
As long as Khadgar doesn't make a fuss and make the whole Guardian Tower feel the big noise, demons such as Markzaar who have already developed inertial thinking are unlikely to leave the area they guard and come to the lower level to check the situation.
To put it simply, as long as the Attu Gate is solved, Khadgar can successfully take the first floor as a base, and there is no need to worry about other enemies upstairs to counterattack for the time being.
As the barrage said, the main people active on the first floor of Karazhan are the ghosts of grooms and other handymen, and these souls are very weak.
Khadgar and Sarlayan divided their labors and cooperated. Khadgar suppressed the soul, and Sarlayan was responsible for the salvation. It only took a few hours to efficiently advance to the hunting game ground where Attumen was located.
Atumen, who had not yet been disturbed by the intruders, was aimlessly wandering back and forth in the indoor hunting ground. Next to him was an undead war horse covered in armor and with soul fire shining in its eye sockets.
[Appeared, Midnight, the mount I always wanted but could never get. 】
【...Is your face so dark? Return to Karazhan is quite easy. 】
【Harmful! Don't mention it, the life of an African chief is so simple and unpretentious. 】
Ignoring the barrage of jokes, Sarlayan, the vanguard of the two-man team, tentatively put his feet into the range of the hunting ground.
Sure enough, Atumen and the war horse Midnight, who were "taking a leisurely walk" just a moment ago, immediately turned their heads, staring straight at Sarlayan with two pairs of eyes shining with soul fire.
"Aha~ Look who this is? Intruder!"
While getting on his horse, Atumen continued to chant in a very exaggerated tone: "The master doesn't like uninvited 'guests', so let me, Atumen... please!"
Before Atumen could finish his dramatic words, he was interrupted by a long sword flying towards him. He used all his strength to hold the weapon tightly with both hands and block the large hidden weapon.
Sarlayan, who had just started the game with a heroic throw, complained with an expression on his face: "The opening is too long, save this nonsense, anyway, your playing time will not exceed 3 minutes."
"rude!"
Atumen, who almost performed a U-turn on the spot, was frightened and angry. He raised the heavy knight sword in his hand and gave an order to the horse Midnight under his crotch.
"Midnight! Charge! We must let our guests learn the etiquette of Karazhan!"
