"The treasure room in Violet Castle has a very strict supervision system, and the Kirin Tor's elite mages patrol and monitor it 24 hours a day."
Archmage Rommath introduced to Arthas the situation of the Violet Castle in the central city of Dalaran. As the center of power of the Magic Kingdom, this ancient magic castle hides unimaginable treasures.
This treasure not only refers to real gold and silver wealth, but also powerful magic props and even ancient artifacts collected by Dalaran mages from all over the world.
After the fall and death of Guardian Medivh, his mage tower "Karazhan" became a piece of cake in the eyes of Dalaran.
They even established an organization called [Violet Eyes], nominally to monitor the situation of this tower, but in fact they pulled away box after box from the guardian's mage tower to accumulate piles of knowledge. and wealth.
Don't think that mages are all very noble people. When faced with powerful and profound magical knowledge and infinitely powerful artifacts, they are far more greedy than ordinary people.
Although the Guardian's tower has not yet been fully explored by the Kirin Tor Council, their scope of activities is limited to the outer and lower floors of Karazhan. The higher floors were horribly cursed after Medivh's death, and even elite mages were unable to Don't dare to go deep.
Those greedy adventurers who are careless and are left forever in Karazhan are the best warning.
However, after spending so much manpower and material resources, the Kirin Tor still got a lot of good things out of Karazhan. In addition to precious magical knowledge, they were also Medivh's treasures.
Arthas came here this time to confirm the safety of the cursed artifact in Dalaran's treasury, the Book of Medivh.
This magic book was originally just notes about certain magical insights left by the guardian Medivh, but when he completely fell, the magic recorded in it became more and more dangerous.
In addition, being carried by the guardian for a long time and imbued with his huge magic power, this notebook has long since evolved into an artifact like a grimoire.
Moreover, this book also records the astral coordinates of Azeroth and the method of building the Dark Portal. Once someone is interested in obtaining it, it can be said that Azeroth will be directly exposed to the void.
In the established timeline, the great lich Kel'Thuzad, who was resurrected by Arthas, used the knowledge recorded in the book and the energy of Dalaran's magic network to summon Archimonde the "Polter".
This terrifying demon possessed power comparable to that of a god. With just a wave of his hand, he overturned the entire Dalaran. The fleeing mages were unable to resist the power of the leader of the Burning Legion.
It wasn't until Archimonde left that the escaped mages carefully returned to the ruins, collecting the remaining wealth while planning how to rebuild Dalaran.
"Can we go in and confirm and check it over?"
Archmage Rommath shook his head, "I'm afraid not. You must obtain the consent of at least half of the six-person council before you can enter the treasure house to investigate."
"What can you tell from the outside?" Mograine was dissatisfied with Dalaran's attitude. "We don't even know if there are traces of demonic activity inside!"
"Although this is true, I think Dalaran's defense system can still be trusted."
A soft female voice sounded, and Arthas sighed, "Ms. Vereesa, generally speaking, this is the case, but our opponents are also not ordinary people."
The high elf known as Vereesa is the sister of Sylvanas Windrunner. She came to join Alsace's investigation team, firstly because she was very interested in this prestigious little prince, and secondly because Because she heard that Alsace saved her sister's life and came to help them.
Although not as good as Dalaran's high-level mage group, the name of Vereesa's ranger leader is still somewhat useful in Dalaran.
Before, because of her almost identical appearance to Sylvanas, even Arthas almost thought it was Sylvanas who came to Dalaran.
But when he thought about it, Arthas ruled out this possibility - as the ranger general of Quel'Thalas, it is basically impossible for Sylvanas to leave their country, so this is exactly the same as Sylvanas It's easy to think of the identity of the ranger.
But to be honest, Arthas doesn't want to be associated with Vereesa yet; to be precise, he doesn't want to be associated with someone who is very close to Vereesa.
That guy's name is Ronin. For this guy, Alsace has only one evaluation:
The super invincible and ultimate unlucky guy.
The dangerous predicaments he encountered may be undreamed of by anyone, but he was the luckiest person when faced with these dangers, and it was his teammates who often suffered.
The mages of Dalaran have a saying that goes like this: If Deathwing swallows Ronin and happens to choke to death, we will be relieved of two scourges at once.
Think about it, how terrible is the scourge that can be compared to the world-destroying dragon Deathwing? The other mages in Dalaran basically stayed away from Luo Ning, fearing that they would be defeated by him one day.
But this kid's life was particularly good. Because of his mission to save the Red Dragon Queen, he was noticed by the dragon guardians, and he was also with his teammate at the time, Vereesa Fengxing, who was now standing in front of Alsace. The person fell in love.
Deathwing's injury is inextricably linked to Luo Ning. If Deathwing's plan had not been disrupted by Luo Ning, the other guardian dragon kings might have been killed long ago.
Arthas didn't want to form teammates with Ronin. He still had a lot of things to do, and he didn't want to face the Dark Titan Sargeras directly.
But Vereesa came to help with good intentions, and she was not a trouble-making machine. As long as Ronin was not involved, Vereesa's identity could indeed be of considerable use to Arthas.
Alsace once again glanced at the heavily guarded treasury on one side and said to several people, "Let's go, there are no traces of infiltration here for the time being."
The three of them looked at Alsace in surprise, wondering why he could come to this conclusion.
"There are no traces of demons appearing here, and the defensive formations and other defense mechanisms in the treasure house are also very complete." After Alsace glanced at it, he no longer focused on it.
"And if even this place has been infiltrated by the Dread Lord, why would he wait for us to come? He would have left with what he wanted."
As a great mage, it is impossible for Romans not to be able to tell whether the defensive magic circle is intact or not. The reverberation of the magic energy emitted by the intact and defective magic circle is different.
Since he didn't find any abnormality, there was no need to argue with the Kirin Tor about this matter. Arthas originally planned to find a way to take the [Book of Medivh] away and find a place to completely destroy it, but Obviously, with the security mechanism of the treasure house, this is definitely not possible.
What a pity...I originally planned to take the things away before Tichondrius did.
Dalaran's treasury defense measures are indeed very good. Even people from the Privy Council have not been able to penetrate. Arthas's idea can only be in vain. In addition, with two outsiders, Rommath and Vereesa, it is even more impossible. Use this method.
"His Royal Highness Arthas is right, otherwise the demon would have taken action long ago - I suggest that we go to the nearby magic network node to take a look. If the demon uses magic power, maybe we can find some clues."
As a knowledgeable archmage, Rommath put forward the best suggestion he could think of, which coincided with Arthas's idea. Without Tichondrius showing any clues, he could only first To investigate anything that doesn't make sense.
"This requires going to some places with a relatively high level of confidentiality. However, Romance and I's identities should be able to solve most of the problems." Vereesa said softly, raising her head slightly, "But there is a place we can't go."
Everyone followed Vereesa's gaze and saw the tall main tower of Violet Castle standing majestically. It was the center of the Dalaran Magic Network node and the center of the entire city.
