As soon as you enter Karazhan from the entrance, a smell of dilapidation and decay immediately comes.
Different from Roy's imagination, the Karazhan he saw was not the copy in the game that was often visited by footmen, but the real Karazhan Tower, and the real Karazhan was actually a tower that had been It's just a ruin that has been abandoned for more than ten or twenty years.
Collapsed masonry and wood can be seen everywhere here. They are overlapped in a messy manner, and the gaps are already covered with large tracts of spider webs. Thick dust on the ground is evenly spread all over the ground, indicating that it has been here for a long time. There was no sign of human activity. Huge rats rustled under the corners in the darkness, and the smell of mildew filled the hall.
Even Roy felt a little uncomfortable in the dark environment, so he had to summon a flame for lighting. In the firelight, Roy looked at the hall on the first floor of Karazhan. Except for the stone pillar arch directly opposite and the Apart from the high steps that seemed familiar to him, the other sights were a bit inconsistent with Roy's memory.
This is actually not surprising, because after Sargeras was defeated and Medivh was killed by Lothar, this mage tower lost its owner, and after a mage tower that was once the strongest mage lost its owner, its end was naturally dire. As you can imagine, in the past ten years, in addition to Khadgar, the spy of the Violet Eyes, who helped Dalaran steal a large number of books from Karazhan, this mage tower has also been attacked hundreds of times. Many thieves who were bold and wanted to make a fortune had visited this mage tower.
Amidst all the looting, the once glorious Karazhan has long been changed beyond recognition. A large number of decorations and property have been stolen. What is left are some bare stones and bricks. It can be said to be in a state of poverty. It can be compared with Roy. It’s only when my memory is right that I have a ghost.
After thinking about this, Roy couldn't help but shake his head. He looked at the collapsed stables in the hall on the first floor. The horse named Midnight had already died there, leaving only a pile of bare skeletons. There was still something about the horse, and Atumen didn't know where he died... So he stopped worrying, took Julie and Bainiya up the steps and entered the hall on the second floor.
Similarly, the once magnificent banquet hall is nowhere to be seen here. Needless to say, there are no chandeliers in the hall. I don’t know where the robbers stole all the banquet tables in this hall, and the carpets on the floor are even worse. Needless to say, there are only a few boxy traces of carpeting.
"It's so miserable. Are the robbers here so poor and crazy?" Julie also saw it and couldn't help complaining.
Roy was about to say something, but suddenly froze for a moment, as if he sensed something, and turned to look at a corner of the hall.
In this corner, Roy saw a corpse. The corpse was wearing tattered clothes and curled up motionless. At first glance, it seemed to be just a corpse, but due to the devil's sensitivity to souls Sex, Roy discovered that there was actually a weak soul reaction in this corpse. In other words, this corpse was probably an undead creature.
Having said that, Roy found that this undead creature was trying its best to cover up the fluctuations of its soul, as if it was very afraid and did not dare to expose itself.
After thinking about it, Roy suddenly understood that after Medivh's death, a powerful curse broke out in Karazhan. I am afraid that many creatures in the tower were affected by the curse and turned into monsters or undead. Perhaps those who broke into this place The robbers will encounter obstruction and attacks from these monsters and undead, but these monsters and undead will never dare to appear in front of Roy.
It can be said that Roy is the most powerful and terrifying demon that has ever entered Karazhan. No monster or undead dares to make trouble in front of Roy...
Staring at the corpse and sneering, Roy found that the soul in the corpse was shaking even more. He didn't know who the corpse was, but since it was curled up and didn't dare to be exposed, Roy had no interest in dealing with such a corpse. Weak guy, he waved and took Julie and Bainiya to continue exploring.
The mage tower in Karazhan was built on a fragile node of time and space. Therefore, in order to build the tower smoothly, the builders of the tower placed a lot of space-stabilizing barrier runes here. Although later, When the curse broke out, many of these space barriers were destroyed, but at least the floors below the tower were still very stable. This means that it is impossible to use teleportation skills to explore this tower, and Roy I didn't want to fly in this narrow tower, so I could only explore upwards layer by layer.
The third floor of the tower is the reception room. Roy vaguely remembers that there seems to be some kind of chastity saint on this floor. She is a very tall woman who can use the powerful power of holy light. It is said that she seems to be one of the Titan Guardians. The existence of human beings was lost through the chaotic time and space of Karazhan. Her origins are quite mysterious. Roy originally wanted to see her, but what he didn't expect was that he searched the entire third floor and could not find this. The existence of this character, I don’t know if it has disappeared or something.
When entering the opera house on the fourth floor, Roy finally saw... saw a monster. At the entrance of the opera house, two skeletons with weak soul fire in their eye sockets were wandering nearby. Wandering back and forth aimlessly, their clothes were also in tatters, and the bones on their bodies had countless signs of breakage. It was as if the intruders in Karazhan over the years had not been able to completely eliminate them, but only killed them. Their bones were shattered. After the intruder left, they slowly stood up again.
When they heard the footsteps, the two wandering skeletons turned their heads and looked over in search of the sound. But when they saw Roy's tall demon body, the two skeletons seemed to be frightened and stood there blankly. Without moving, the entire skeleton shook like chaff. After a moment, it fell apart on its own and the old bones were scattered all over the floor.
Feeling that even the soul fire in the skeleton's body was slowly dissipating, Roy was a little speechless. Is that so? Two undead creatures were actually scared to death?
And the dilapidated opera house on the fourth floor did not start a play because someone broke in. It seemed that the souls hiding here were all frightened and hid when Roy appeared, leaving Roy to see, It was just a dilapidated stage covered with a lot of cobwebs.
The library on the fifth floor is even more unsightly. There are a lot of empty bookshelves, many of which have even collapsed. Not a single book is preserved, not even the runes that the high elf gave to Medivh. The robot, the library director who guards this place, has also become a pile scattered on the ground at any time.
In fact, if you think about it, this is the real Karazhan. The things in it will not be constantly refreshed like in the dungeon. Once many things are destroyed, they are really destroyed and will not stand up again. Karazhan The most valuable thing among them is probably the large collection of books on the fifth floor. Whether it is the mages of Dalaran or the thieves who broke into this place, it is impossible for them to let go of this floor, so this floor This is probably the cleanest level in Karazhan.
Seeing this, Roy also realized that it might be impossible to find the place where Sargeras hid his soul in the lower space. If he wanted to find it, he might have to go to the upper level or even the top of the tower.
As we continued to go up, it was not as desolate as the lower space. Some strange creatures appeared sporadically in the tower. These creatures were not native to Azeroth, so Roy immediately guessed these. The creatures probably entered here through the randomly appearing cracks in time and space in the Karazhan Tower.
The tower of Karazhan still has a lot of energy, and the taste of knowledge in this mage tower is still very strong, so it is not surprising to attract these alien space creatures, even if more than ten or twenty years have passed, These creatures still appear sporadically in the tower.
However, due to the terrifying aura exuding from Roy, none of these alien space creatures dared to appear in front of Roy. Their hiding actions could only be detected through the rustling sounds.
It can be said that wherever Roy goes, there are gods and ghosts making things happen, which saves him a lot of trouble.
While moving forward, Roy was also using his own perception to look for possible space-time cracks in the tower. He put himself in Sargeras's shoes and thought for a moment that if he were Sargeras, he would never let go of one hundred billion souls. There are so many souls within reach, enough to drive any demon creature crazy, so if you want to save these souls, it must be a place that cannot be reached by ordinary means, and the time and space rift is the most suitable place.
So Roy guessed that there must be a relatively stable space-time rift in the Karazhan Tower. It may be in a certain room. It is not only equipped with powerful restrictions, but also generally invisible. Otherwise, then Many intruders and thieves have discovered this place long ago.
"Who is that?" While Roy was still thinking, Bainiya suddenly said.
Roy looked in the direction Bainiya pointed and found that she was pointing to a huge room. In this room, there were also a large number of bookshelves. But what was interesting was that although most of the bookshelves in this room They have all been evacuated, but there are still many books scattered on the ground. Strangely, no one has been completely evacuated.
And among these scattered books, a lonely figure is in a translucent state, sitting alone among these books.
This figure looks like a human mage. He is wearing a gorgeous purple robe. The mage collar on the back of his neck is raised high. This mage has white hair and a thick beard on his chin and lips. He was completely pale, and he just sat on a pile of books with blank eyes, a staff in his hand, and muttering something to himself.
Roy was also very surprised when he saw this figure, and he immediately remembered who it was.
This illusory figure should be Medivh's father, Elan! The court mage of Stormwind City, Nielas Ellan!
What appeared in this room was the soul of Elan. Medivh's father died when he was 13 years old, and he died to save Medivh. Medivh had always been favored by his father. However, when he was 13 years old, he woke up from a nightmare, and the huge energy in his body exploded uncontrollably. In order to suppress this huge energy in Medivh's body, Elan fought with hundreds of people from the North County Monastery. The priests worked together, and although they finally succeeded in suppressing the huge energy in Medivh's body, Elan eventually died because of Lixie.
As for how Elan's soul was trapped in Karazhan after his death, it has always been a mystery, but Roy immediately understood it the moment he saw Elan.
This is probably what Sargeras did. You know, Sargeras' soul had been lurking in Medivh's body. The energy in Medivh's body was out of control. It was probably caused by Sargeras. Elan, as Medivh's My father has a family bond with Medivh. His presence may allow Sargeras to better shake Medivh's mind in order to complete the seizure. This may be one of the reasons why Sargeras imprisoned him in Karazhan. one.
Another reason is probably the whereabouts of those 100 billion souls. Roy is sure that Elan's soul is probably the "key" set by Sargeras to open the soul treasure room. key"!
Thinking of this, Roy immediately strode into the room...
I just came back from a business trip. I'm really sorry that I haven't been able to update during the trip.
