The main gate of Karazhan is closed tightly, and the ancient gate is covered with rust and has a lot of spider webs.
Even though the Deadwind Trail is inaccessible, Medivh's dark power is always present here, and there are still many tenacious lives surviving here, and some have even undergone incredible mutations due to being affected by the dark power.
However, Alsace and the others did not intend to enter Karazhan from here, or in other words, they had no intention of entering the "upper level" of this tower in the first place.
Yes, the purpose of Arthas's trip is precisely the darkest and most dangerous place among the countless secrets of Karazhan. That place is full of all kinds of empty buildings that are incomprehensible to mortals, corpses with horrific death forms, and piles of There are mountains of bones of unknown races and creatures.
Some people say that this is the cellar where Medivh, who was possessed by Sargeras, used to vent his dark will. Others say that this is a maze built by summoned demons. There are various rumors, but regardless of the reason for its construction, Why, it's definitely not for any good reason.
The underground labyrinth of Karazhan is full of dangers, and in most places there is nothing except cursed undead and various magic traps. However, few of the mages and spies sent by the Violet Eye into the cellar are alive. from.
And those who were able to come out alive did not step into the core area of the maze at all. They just explored the periphery and were scared away by the terrifying scenes inside.
The people sent by the Violet Eye to investigate Karazhan are not timid guys. There are many desperadoes and magic lunatics among them, but even they were scared away by the things in the cellar. It is conceivable that Karazhan How much darkness is hidden in the abyss-like underground world.
Arthas didn't intend to go into the depths of the maze. He didn't know if there were any treasures in it, but if he accidentally knocked over the trap left by the Dark Titan himself through the hands of the guardian, even he wouldn't be able to do so. Dare to completely guarantee the safety of yourself and others.
His purpose was to find the black knights cursed by Sargeras and what they hid.
"There is nothing behind the wall here," Jaina's detection magic quickly found the mechanism of the tomb. She summoned a magical hand and kept groping on the wall until she pressed down on a loose brick.
She looked at Alsace and pressed it down after confirming it was correct.
After a low sound of masonry rubbing against each other, the originally tight walls shifted inward at an angle, and moist and somewhat decayed air flowed out.
Lothar took the lead, holding up a torch and walking in front. When he saw the winding passage behind the wall, he was a little surprised, "I have been to Karazhan so many times, and I didn't know that Medivh was actually there." There is such a secret passage built in the tomb outside the mage tower."
"Medivh was controlled by an extremely dark will for most of his life, and sometimes he was not even aware of what he had done," Arthas explained. "Be careful, we have triggered the mechanism, maybe Those black knights have noticed."
"I have deployed warning detection magic to increase the sensitivity of detection of undead and curses. If those guys are really here, we can know it as soon as possible."
Although Jaina spent most of her time in the ivory tower of Dalaran, she has now experienced the baptism of fire many times. Whether it was the battle of Mount Hyjal or the battle to conquer the Molten Core, she has experienced a lot. She benefited greatly from it.
As a genius, when she combined practice with theory, her strength naturally improved by leaps and bounds. In addition, the existences they had faced, whether it was the high-level demons of the Burning Legion or the elemental lords of the Fire Realm. It is an existence that is difficult for mortals to come into contact with.
After fighting these legendary creatures, Jaina's knowledge and understanding of magic far exceeded the ceiling that ordinary mages could reach.
She is now one of the top mage in Dalaran, and even Antonidas has nothing to teach Jaina about frost magic.
Next, Jaina will continue to hone her spell-casting skills, improve the structure of runes and arcane spells, and increase the amount of magic she can control and use. Sooner or later, she will surpass her teacher and become the leader of the entire Azeroth. The leading legendary mage on Rath.
And this is basically the ceiling for all mages, unless they have superb arcane talents like the Blue Dragon, and can penetrate the magic network of Azeroth and use the power inside, or like Azshara and the Sun Kings of the past. , possessing external-level magic sources such as the Well of Eternity and the Well of the Sun, otherwise there is an upper limit to the arcane power that mortals can control.
"This tomb is deeper than I thought..." Lothar, who was holding the torch, suddenly stopped. Jaina and Arthas heard his words, took a few steps forward, and stood side by side with Lothar, in the light of the fire. Under the reflection, the rotating stone staircase broke under their feet, and they couldn't even see if there was a road below.
Alsace moved his foot and kicked a piece of gravel. The stone fell under the pull of gravity. After a while, the sound of the stone entering the water was heard.
"It must be at least dozens of meters high... The firelight cannot be found below, there is a pool." Lothar estimated the height. The light of the torch was not enough to break through the darkness, and there was a mysterious wave flowing in the tomb. The distance of dark magic and light transmission has been shortened a lot.
Alsace condensed a ball of holy light and threw it forward, manipulating the holy light to illuminate the road below.
"I see a place to stay." Jaina nodded. Under Alsace's illumination, blue arcane light lit up in her eyes, and the power of the magic network began to be leveraged by her.
Arcane light flickered in the tomb, and the next second, the three of them had arrived at the next stop.
However, the space disturbed by the teleportation spell had not subsided yet, and Jaina's expression suddenly became serious. She spoke quickly, "The magic of the spell has alerted certain entities. Be careful, my magic trap has been triggered. "
"I also feel...the breath of the dead, are they those black knights?" Lothar's hand has touched the hilt of the rune sword behind his back. As a death knight, he is very familiar with the smell of the undead.
"Probably not." Alsace held up his cloak with his hands, and the sacred contract around his waist emitted a soft light, illuminating the underground space, allowing them to have sufficient vision. "Although the Black Knights can be cursed with their The war horses are galloping in the sky, but such a narrow spiral staircase is not a suitable place for them to fight. If it is really them, we have nothing to worry about——"
"Alsace, Marshal Lothar, I saw them... they are a group of floating ghosts!"
Jaina's voice sounded, and above their heads, beside the stairs that had just broken, transparent ghost monsters were gathering.
