Ahem, well, that's the situation.
When the orcs broke through the Cross Islands and sacked Dalaran, although the Violet Keep, as the essence of the place, was safe, the peripheral losses were still serious.
In this disaster, some precious magic resources were also lost.
Among them is the Book of Medivh.
And this magic book, which originally belonged to the guardian Medivh, fell into the hands of Carlos due to various coincidences.
[Book of Medivh]: Legendary quality, requires ten mana crystals. After use, your fire impact consumption will become zero, and the number of uses per round will be changed to 30 times.
The above is purely nonsense.
In fact, the value of the Book of Medivh is dual.
If you think about magic, for non-magic people, a magic book is probably a spell book that records magic knowledge. That's right, magic books do have this effect. But for mages, a cool magic book is every mage's dream.
Because for Master, his magic book is at least equivalent to an extra mana pool and amplifier.
Recording one's understanding of the mage in a book of suitable texture is itself an act similar to enchantment. The more magic knowledge a magic book contains, the stronger the magic structure it contains, and the higher the elemental resonance and arcane gains it triggers. The better the quality of the spell book, the greater the amount of magic it can withstand.
Medivh's magic book is undoubtedly the best in terms of its quality and the amount of knowledge it contains.
When Khadgar benefited from his teacher, Carlos was not able to get involved, but when his subordinates broke out the "Book of Medivh" from the slaughtered orc warlocks, Carlos had no reason to do it. Just return Dalaran unconditionally for the reason of "time-honored traditional friendship."
What's more, Dalaran is also a group of thieves when it comes to the legacy of Karazhan.
The kidnappers asked Carlos to exchange the "Book of Medivh" for Ilucia.
After learning about the ransom demanded by the kidnappers, the Violet Eyes organization was blacklisted by Carlos.
"I'm sorry, Carlos, no one wants this to happen. But I can guarantee it. This is definitely not the work of the Violet Eyes, at least not the will of the entire Violet Eyes. I guarantee it."
Originally, because of Carlos's almost arrogant demands and the threat of withdrawing from the alliance, Khadgar, the healer who was not in good health, hurried over with resentment. But after Carlos explained the situation. Khadgar was somewhat grateful to Carlos Tidararan for covering up his shame.
His training in Karazhan was the driving force behind the Violet Eye, his power in Dalaran was supported by the Violet Eye, and he was even a senior member of the Violet Eye. Khadgar could not tell the story between the Violet Eye and this kidnapping. It has nothing to do with the case.
Because the existence of the "Book of Medivh" itself has always been a rumor, Antonidas only has the right to borrow it. Ownership lies with Violet Eyes.
If Khadgar knew that the Book of Medivh had fallen into the hands of Carlos, he would convince the top management of the organization to exchange it for benefits that Carlos could not refuse.
Because for a magic society with a big family and big business, exchange of interests is a routine method, especially when the other party is a king.
But except for the Violet Eye, it is impossible for other mages to track the whereabouts of the [Book of Medivh], because Khadgar was also present when the tracking and positioning spell was jointly solidified for the [Book of Medivh].
The work of extracting and copying Medivh's magical knowledge from the "Book of Medivh" has long been completed. For the Violet Eye, the greatest value of the "Book of Medivh" is not the skills contained in the magic book, but The grimoire itself.
In other words, more than half of the value of the Book of Medivh to the Violet Eye has been extracted. The remaining value is not enough to tempt the Violet Eyes and the Alterac Kingdom under Carlos to turn against each other.
"Khadgar, are we friends?"
"Of course, I never doubted our friendship."
"Then don't think of me as a fool. If it weren't for the Southern Expedition, I would have brought this matter to Master Antonidas and Anduin Lothar."
Although Carlos seemed to be speaking harshly, Khadgar heard the underlying meaning.
There is a possibility that this matter is private!
The revenge of a king is not like a fight between civilians, especially Janis Barov himself is a member of Dalaran and has a close relationship with Antonidas. If Carlos makes things big, especially when Dalaran is at its weakest after suffering the trauma of the war, the Kirin Tor Council will inevitably make huge concessions and compromises, actively or passively, for the sake of the stability of the alliance.
Just that. The relationship between Alterac and Dalaran is bound to deteriorate, and there is even a threat of shaking the foundation of the Alliance.
"You are a truly selfless king. Although I cannot represent the alliance, I still want to thank you for your sanity for the sake of the alliance."
Khadgar used honorifics towards Carlos.
"Hmph. Everything is based on the fact that my sister is safe and sound. Otherwise, what awaits you will be my most cruel and ruthless revenge."
"Of course. I will participate in this matter and do my best to maintain the safety of Princess Ilucia."
An unspoken agreement was reached, and Khadgar soon joined the rescue effort.
I have to say that the human mage at this time. In other words, human magic is still very backward, far inferior to the Alliance mages after the undead disaster in another world line.
The reason why he revealed this matter to Khadgar and asked him to participate in rescuing Ilucia was because Carlos really couldn't find a more suitable and powerful mage to handle this matter.
"Since the other party requires the hostage exchange to be carried out in Alterac City, it is very likely that Her Royal Highness Princess Ilucia will be detained in Alterac."
"It's possible."
"It just so happens that I know a little magic that can come in handy."
After reading the kidnapper's kidnapping letter, Khadgar obtained Carlos's consent and burned the letter with pure arcane energy, added some magic materials to the ashes, and finally waved his staff and performed a long spell. chant.
Then, meters of ashes floated in the air, forming shadows, revealing various human-shaped illusions.
"This is?"
Carlos seemed to understand.
"Time tracing. According to what you said, and referring to the time when Ilucia was kidnapped, this letter should have been written within five days. It should not be beyond my ability."
Khadgar, who was focused on casting spells, didn't care that honorifics became such a problem.
And Carlos also saw that this spell was not a "little spell" as Khadgar said. Using a lot of magic power, Khadgar looked older.
A green holy light shone on Khadgar's head, making the mage's aging body feel much better.
"Thanks."
After thanking him, Khadgar worked harder, and the shadow formed by the ash and rice began to move backwards like rewinding.
This time, Carlos really understood that time narration can trace a certain range of space around the target object.
"It's magic."
In admiration, Carlos saw his own shadow, Todd's shadow, the messenger's shadow, and finally traced back to the writer.
"I found you, you're dead!"
After seeing what the guy who wrote the ransom note looked like, Carlos made a vicious threat.
"We're in big trouble."
Khadgar froze the scene and walked a few steps left and right to observe the appearance of the shadow.
"Um?"
"I do not know him."
Khadgar frowned and said. (To be continued.)
