Light's Dawn of Azeroth

Chapter 192 15. So, Diakum, what is the price?

The Vigilante failed to capture Medivh and bring him to the Judgment Seat in Shattrath City. He failed to fulfill his promise and deserves severe condemnation from the Light and the Force.

But considering that he had just shattered the human form of the Dark Titan that almost destroyed Draenor, and made his reputation of repelling Sargeras known far and wide throughout the stars, this little flaw was completely acceptable.

The Holy Light is proud of him!

Of course, if he had a choice, Diakum would not want to speak loudly to the entire universe in the material star sea all day long, saying stupid things like "Sargeras, you are a jerk! If you dare to come to Azeroth again, I will kill you with my headgear."

But the problem is that the Void Lords are unlikely to give Diakum more options.

The Sentinels didn't even dare to think about how much those Void pranksters would exaggerate this matter, but it was certain that any world where the Void existed would have rumors about how a big Holy Light guy named Diakam, with the help of the Void, slaughtered the invincible Sargeras and drove him back to the Twisting Nether like a dog.

Perhaps, this incident will become a "recruitment advertisement" for the Void Lords to recruit servants.

Therefore, Diakum only hopes that the Dark Titan will be open-minded and not take this matter to heart. You, a true god of evil who controls the Force and dominates the universe, what do you have to say about me, a child over 30,000 years old, right?

And if Lord Sargeras is not as broad-minded as I think, it doesn't matter. I have offended him anyway. I can just eat and drink and wait for the day when Lord Sargeras comes to seek revenge.

Alas, what a tragedy.

He thought so.

Under the subtle gazes of Aegwynn and the two liches, Medivh's skull, which he had been playing with for several seconds, was placed back into the urn. This action also made Garona, who was watching, breathe a sigh of relief.

As a child raised by a Draenei arcanist, Garona was well aware that when the Draenei were still the Eredar, a weird thing called "phrenology" was popular.

If Diakum, who came from that era, wanted to take Medivh's skull as a magic weapon, the orc assassin would have to consider how to escape from the three demigod spellcasters.

Her grandfather would definitely not die. Although he was now so weak that he was not even a legend, Garona blindly believed that her grandfather would find a way to survive.

He is such an amazing man.

"Swish"

The Vigilant's Iron Covenant was opened, and in the traditional comfort ceremony of the Eredar, he, the saint, served as the temporary host and performed a simple but solemn funeral for Medivh. After blessing the urn with holy light, he purified the cold aura of the urn, and then imposed a seal with the glorious holy pattern.

It is no exaggeration to say that with the current funeral specifications, anyone who dares to dig up Medivh's tomb will probably be stabbed in the head by a fifty-dollar brother the moment the seal is lifted.

Even though Dick is in a weak state now, the blessing of the Holy Oath is real. The moment the seal he personally consecrated was affixed, it meant that the urn was under the protection of the Holy Light.

There is no way, several saints personally appointed by the Naaru are so powerful.

"Seal it up. Perhaps you will need it in the future."

Diakum finished his final recitation, closed the holy book, and said to the three people around him who were in silent mourning:
"The matter of Karazhan is over. I must leave immediately."

"You should stay here and rest, Saint Diakme."

Farondis shook his head and said:
"I don't underestimate your fighting ability, but it's not a good idea for you to walk around Azeroth in your weakened state.

I suggest you rest here until you are fully recovered before leaving. In fact, given the current turbulent situation, if the Burning Legion has already entered Azeroth, then the demigods will not be able to protect themselves well. "

"Rest for at least two or three days, until your energy is fully recovered."

Old Merry returned Kazzak's soul-sucking staff to Diakum with both hands and said:

"You've lost that priceless armor, blessed by both Light and life. It's only right that your master, Aegwynn, should offer you compensation and gratitude. While you may not care about this yourself, you can't let outsiders think we Azerothians lack manners.

What's more, we need to find time to have a good talk about Stormwind Kingdom and the orc invasion. Aegwynn invited us two here before with this in mind.

Although I don't have much friendship with the current Council of Six, I am at least considered a veteran of Dalaran. As the 'Phoenix Guardian' of Quel'Thalas, Farondis also has a certain say in the high elves.

If you're looking to gather aid for Stormwind, we two can help.

Of course, this requires some skill.”

"I also think you should rest here for a few days."

Aegwynn had a black wreath of flowers tied around her arm to express her sorrow for the loss of her loved ones, but she was worthy of being a guardian for hundreds of years. She quickly adjusted her emotions and said in a hoarse voice:

"You just said that besides Medivh, I also have my responsibilities to fulfill. I am very curious about what you, the alien prophet, have seen and what you plan to do?"

Diakum hesitated for a moment and said to the two liches:

"It's not that I don't trust you, but the Death Force is the party involved, and you are Force walkers, so I must ask you two to leave temporarily. What I am going to talk to Lady Aegwynn about next is something that cannot be made public.

It directly concerns the fate of two worlds, no, three worlds.”

"As it should be."

The two great liches were both good at handling situations in their lives. They understood these necessary measures, so under Khadgar's guidance, they temporarily left the hall and went to the library in the Mage Tower to rest and meditate, and by the way, help Khadgar solve the problems that he could not solve at the moment.

No matter how talented this guy is, he is just a young spellcaster who is not even a legend. Medivh taught him for half a year, which is enough for him to stand out among his peers, but he is still a little far from being a strong man of the older generation.

"You leave for now too."

Dick said to Garona:
"Stay alert in the shadows outside and report any signs of trouble immediately."

"Ok!"

Garona glanced at the Heart of Argus on her grandfather's finger.

She guessed that her grandfather might want to discuss the matter of star souls with Lady Aegwynn. Although there were no star souls in Draenor, Garona could understand the importance of this existence in the sea of stars. She immediately jumped into the shadows to perform vigilance.

When there were only two people left, Diakum made a gesture, took off the Heart of Argus ring and handed it to Aegwynn, indicating that she should sense it with her heart.

As a former guardian and one of the people with the highest magical attainments in the Eastern Continent and even the entire world of Azeroth, Aegwynn actually sensed a certain powerful and heavy force in the Sentinel that was difficult to ignore when she first met Diakum.

When she touched the Seal of the Heart of Argus, she immediately felt that power watching her.

The powerful guardian showed rare hesitation and fear, but under Diak'um's gaze, she sat cross-legged on the cushion, letting Aluneth guard her, and then immersed her spirit in the ring.

The next moment, Aegwynn was pulled into the spiritual realm where the Argus star soul resided.

She saw with her own eyes the supreme being wrapped in starlight, and was immediately overwhelmed by the supreme treasure in this starry sea. The Star Soul was currently in a weak state after fighting with Sargeras and was unable to communicate for a long time, so he used a rough way to stuff what Aegwynn should know into her mind.

In other words, the guardian has a firm mindset, otherwise, with this way of transmitting information, a lesser wizard would probably be shot in the head on the spot.

She quickly understood the relationship between Star Soul and the Titans, and was surprised that the Titan Guardian system she had learned so far was actually a complete lie!

She understood the unique connection between the Star Soul and the six elements, and she realized why her world was so unique. Especially after learning that Azeroth was the "Supreme Star Soul" that could directly influence the outcome of the conflict among the six elements, she instantly understood the fundamental reason why so many strange things happened in this troubled world. "It's really hard to imagine."

It took Aegwynn nearly five minutes to process all this.

She rubbed her forehead, opened her eyes, and returned the Heart of Argus pinky ring to Diakum. She said:
"No wonder you're so rude to the Dragon Guardians. Servants of the Titans sound noble, but from the perspective of the Sons of Azeroth, they're more like jailers. I noticed, however, that the Argus Star-Spirit believes the Dragon Guardians can still be saved. Could it be that they can still change sides?"

"The proto-dragons, the predecessors of the dragons, are the most powerful of all the species native to Azeroth. According to our Eredar theory, these powerful beings were originally shaped by the star souls to become warriors for self-protection."

Dick explained:
"The Proto-Dragon is born with the ability to harness the power of the elements, and elemental power is the fundamental power of the world. This means that even if the Titans do not interfere, the Proto-Dragon clan can still give rise to characters similar to elemental guardians over time.

The Titans realized this and took advantage of the Proto-Dragon's not-so-bright brain.

They used a brilliant and great theory to bring the Proto-Dragons into order, and used the power of arcane to spellcast them, making them guardian dragons. However, the power bestowed by the Titans on the guardian dragons can only work on Azeroth itself, which means that these powers actually come from the energy of the Star Soul itself.

As far as I know, there was a 'Dragon War' that broke out in Azeroth more than 20,000 years ago."

The Sentinel paused and said:

"The Proto-Dragons, unwilling to accept the invitation of the Guardian Dragons, elected their own 'Dragon King' and engaged in a fierce battle with the Guardian Dragon Legion. And where do you think the power wielded by the Incarnate Dragons, which rivals the so-called 'Titan's Blessing', comes from?"

Aegwynn thought for a moment, then narrowed her eyes and said:
"They've awakened!"

"Yes! Perhaps the Avatar Dragons didn't realize who gave them their power, but they instinctively sensed that the Titans had ill intentions. They fought back, but it was too late. The Guardian Dragons had a huge advantage."

Diakum shook his head and said:
"They failed, but they didn't die. The Guardian Dragons simply imprisoned and sealed them for the sake of their brotherhood. This is the opportunity for the Guardian Dragons to return to the right path.

They are the most powerful creatures in Azeroth. I think it should not be a difficult problem for them to choose between their homeland and the foreign Titans.

But the time has not yet come to release the unruly Avatar Dragons. They are imprisoned in the Dragon Islands. The collapse of the sky and the earth caused by the War of the Ancients hid the Dragon Islands in the mist of the world. Even the guardian dragons themselves can't find their way home.

We must wait, and Azeroth needs an envoy to free its greatest warriors.

This world has been tortured by the Void and imprisoned by Order for too long. He lacks a direct channel to communicate with his children. This is what I said, it is your responsibility. "

The Sentinel put his Heart of Argus pinky ring on his finger, stroking this ancient and supreme object, and said in a deep voice:

"I want you to try to become the spokesperson for the Star Soul of Azeroth! Just like me."

"This"

Even though Aegwynn was bold and adventurous by nature, and was a rebellious wizard, she was still struck by lightning after hearing Diak'em's description.

She had just personally experienced the greatness and strength of the Argus Star Soul. The Supreme Star Soul of Azeroth would only be more powerful. In front of Him, she, a small demigod, was probably not even as good as an ant. How could she be qualified to be the spokesperson of the world?

"I you. But. Ah."

Aegwynn stammered, trying to say something, but after being unable to utter several words, her messy mind needed to think.

Diakum waved his hand and said:
"Don't be nervous. I said I was just trying. According to my estimation, Azeroth has most likely already chosen its own spokesperson, Azshara, the Magic Queen of the Ancient Elven Empire. But Azshara's current situation is very special, and I have no other way to contact her.

I think that as the most outstanding spellcaster among humans, you may also have the qualifications to speak for the world.

This is forced by the situation!
Your son wants to unite the world because he has a premonition that disaster is coming. The Burning Legion is just one of them. The Supreme Star Soul is destined to undergo the trial of the six elements of the force. Without the power of the world to aid the warriors of this world, it will be difficult for you to survive to the end.

Just like we did in the final battle on the world of Argus.

Only by holding the power of the world as the Son of the World can you and your world make it to the end while walking on thin ice.

And we must first find a way to communicate with the World Soul."

Speaking of this, the Vigilant felt a little distressed.

He stamped his feet as if to feel the earth, and said:
"The Titans built a device called the 'Unified Field of All Things' in this world, which completely blocks communication between outsiders and Star Souls. I only know that Star Soul broke through the blockade once during the Ancient War ten thousand years ago and bestowed its power on the elves' anti-demon coalition, helping them repel the demons.

This is also the reason why I came to Karazhan!
I hope to use the books here to find the 'damaged point' so that His Majesty Argus can have a direct conversation with his sister.

If we want to restore our world, we cannot rely solely on the Eredar and the people of Draenor. We must have the full support of His Majesty the Lord of Azeroth."

"Then let me help."

Aegwynn made up her mind. She stood up, leaning on the Staff of Aluneth, and said:

"I can't bring myself to risk contacting the Star Soul yet, but I can help you and His Majesty Argus find the 'broken point' as a reward for everything you've done for my son. Of course, there's also our previous agreement to go to the Tomb of Sargeras and retrieve the staff.

I need to first travel to the Tomb of Sargeras, unseal it, and raise it from the seabed.

This all takes time.

I'll leave a teleportation orb behind, and once I'm ready, I'll teleport you directly there.

During this time, you will stay in Karazhan to recuperate."

"I can't rest. I'll just stay here for a few days. I still have to go to Storm Kingdom."

Diakum waved his hand and said with a smile:
"Although I have clarified my desires during the trials of the Light and Shadow Twins, and I am determined to use a more 'smart' method to shake fate this time, my former selflessness and desire to save people have become habits, and I cannot convince myself to turn a blind eye to the suffering of those innocent people.

At this time, without the Holy Light of Refinement, I am sure that this idea comes from my inner desire, so I will complete it all.

With my own hands, not with any external force granted by the Light."

"Then you'll need a set of armor and some weapons."

Aegwynn waved her hand without question and said:

"Although I haven't earned any money in years, my husband and I still have some savings. As Old Merry said, we can't let foreigners think we're impolite. Please rest here for a while while I go and make some preparations.

Oh, by the way, because the space inside Karazhan is currently in chaos, please don’t walk around rashly.

Because this tower is connected to the magic network node, and Medivh conducted many strange experiments in this tower under the influence of Sargeras, there are many residual powers in it that I am not sure whether they are safe.

You are in a weak state now, so it is not suitable for you to touch those things rashly.

I will have Moros serve you personally for a few days, please do not refuse. Finally, I have one last favor to ask. This is a very personal request, but I really have no one else to choose.

So, please forgive me for being so presumptuous.”

"Ok?"
