Tyrande wanted to speak, but she choked for a few seconds. Then, she seemed to remember something.
"In Stormwind City, you were the one who killed Diselok?"
In fact, there is no need to ask this question at all, because even if the appearance and body shape can be deceiving, the shining Ashbringer in the hand cannot be deceived at all.
"Varian and I returned to Stormwind City together, and we happened to meet Agent Gilne before leaving. What happened after that is what you saw."
Arthas walked in front, tearing away the thorns blocking the road while answering Tyrande's questions.
Tyrande followed Arthas. She said nothing, not because she was pretending to be profound, but because she had so many questions and doubts in her heart that she didn't know where to start.
Alsace also noticed this overly solemn and silent atmosphere, and his gentle voice sounded again:
"Madam, you don't have to be so silent. If I can answer it, I will answer your questions one by one, as long as we have enough time."
"Forget it. The serious thing now is to find Malfurion. My curiosity and doubts are not important."
The priestess also reacted and said with a smile. She was indeed a little disturbed by what she saw. "It's just that we went directly through the dense forest under Saradrassil. Isn't it a bit risky?" ?”
"No, madam, Xavius placed the center of his attack on the front line. The nightmares gathered in the forest spread to the Moon Temple and other uncontaminated areas. On the contrary, we encountered the fewest enemies in the forest.
But what we need to worry about is whether Ysera can accurately confirm our location. "
At this moment, under the clouds, Ysera was moving rapidly above Val'sharah Forest, with a pair of vertical pupils constantly scanning the situation on the ground.
She was actually very anxious in her heart, because the corruption of Cenarius had caused Malfurion to lose his former calmness, and under such circumstances, entering a territory corrupted by nightmares was a very risky move.
The most dangerous thing about nightmares is that they turn the things you fear most into illusions to confuse your senses, and what happened with Cenarius made Malfurion very emotionally unstable.
Moreover, another important point is that the Tears of Elune are now missing, but it is most likely in the hands of Xavius, which gives Ysera an ominous premonition.
The Tears of Elune itself is a very pure gem, but who knows whether the nightmare that can pollute even the World Tree can also corrupt this gem.
If Xavius succeeds, the Tears of Elune will become a hidden danger in their operations.
Now, she can only hope that Tyrande and Arthas can find Malfurion as soon as possible and end the disaster in Val'sharah, while Ysera herself can only find a way to weaken the power of the nightmare while providing protection for Tyrande and Alsace offers help.
…
"Xavius...you abominable monster, I should have completely eliminated you long ago!" Malfurion fell under a big tree, black and red thorns entangled his body, constantly sucking his energy The strength made him unable to resist Xavius's restraint.
Xavius clapped his hands and walked out of the shadows, "I didn't expect that our Archdruid would fall into such a trap. I'm really gratified."
Malfurion's skin pierced by thorns was bleeding with blood, and weakness and weakness spread throughout his body. Only then did he truly wake up: he had been acting under Xavius's nose since he entered this forest.
He lost control of his emotions because of Cenarius' matter, which played right into Xavius's hands. The projection of the Nightmare King had been watching Malfurion's movements, leading him to the deepest part of the Nightmare Grove.
Here, Malfurion's strength will be greatly weakened, and the energy emitted by those nightmares will continue to affect Malfurion's mind.
At the beginning, after Cenarius was swallowed by the nightmare, Malfurion, who had been close to Cenarius, was actually affected by the nightmare, but even he thought it was a normal emotion.
Because at that time, the nightmare did not penetrate into Malfurion's body at all, but only fanned the flames of his anger, making Malfurion's anger rise little by little.
The small change made Malfurion completely unaware of the nightmare's troubles. After that, every time he passed through an area corrupted by the nightmare, the power of the nightmare in his body would increase by one point.
Malfurion completely thought it was his normal mood swings after seeing the things destroyed by Xavius. It wasn't until he entered the weird village just now that the nightmare in his body fully exploded.
Those nightmare monsters were just Malfurion's imagination, and even the calls for help and Xavius' whispers he heard were just the nightmares in his mind causing trouble.
Even Malfurion is not sure now whether the Xavius in front of him is real or his illusion.
Xavius felt very happy about this. His old rival for thousands of years finally fell in his hands. However, his purpose was not just that.
"But it doesn't matter. If nothing else happens, the priest of the Moon God will be reunited with you soon, Arch Druid - ah ha ha ha!"
Xavius's projection turned into a black mist and disappeared in front of Malfurion. The dark red thorns continued to climb upward, entangled Malfurion's mouth and nose, and dragged him underground.
In the darkness, Malfurion felt that his will was getting weaker and weaker, and he was getting more and more sleepy. But at the same time, he clearly understood that he must not fall asleep, otherwise the nightmare would truly devour him.
Seeing Malfurion struggling to resist the power of the nightmare, Xavius once again set his sights on Arthas and Tyrande moving forward in the forest.
He tapped his chin thoughtfully: Tyrande was not his primary target, and it would be a good thing if she could be captured, but his real goal was Ysera, the green dragon in the sky.
As the former Aspect Dragon, Ysera has a closer connection with the Emerald Dream than any other demigod in the world. Her existence makes it difficult for nightmares to penetrate into the core area of the dream.
Although the guardian's authority has disappeared, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Ysera has lived in the dream for such a long time. Her protection and help to the Emerald Dream is the biggest obstacle to the nightmare.
Xavius captured the Tears of the Moon God precisely because it was difficult to make Ysera truly corrupt through ordinary methods. He needed to hit Ysera quickly and accurately so that she would be swallowed by the nightmare.
However, there were some minor surprises in his plan. Xavius felt an inexplicable threat from the guy who was now acting with Tyrande.
