Chapter 517 It's all an illusion
In order to amplify the momentum and enhance the role of the guardians.
Aegwynn not only wanted to find the old guard of the Council of Tirisfal, but also to gain the trust of the Kirin Tor in Dalaran, the high elf mages of Silvermoon City, the Mage Alliance in Stormwind, the court mages, and even the dwarves and dragons...
The New Council of Tirisfal's aims are the exact opposite of the Lordaeron Salvation Alliance led by Kirin Tor Human Chancellor Anthrem; it seeks to unite the most powerful beings of all races in Azeroth to uphold order...
The Silver Covenant, manipulated by Ansrem, is dedicated to bringing the Eastern Kingdoms and all of Azeroth back under human control, believing that humans should be superior to all non-human races...
Among humans, powerful mages who surpass mortals naturally exist at a higher level...
Human mages like Ansrem are naturally arrogant and domineering.
Ansrem and Yuvel's initial goal was to eliminate barbaric outsiders like orcs, primitive inhabitants like trolls, and heretics like undead, demons, and elves.
Evil creatures, everyone has the right to kill them...
Undead or tribes that occupy human territory are enemies of the human race.
The two sides naturally clashed...
Lorraine, being a Forsaken, was merely acting out of self-preservation and under duress... His actions indirectly disrupted Ansrem's plans... Garin of Stromgarde and the Scarlet Crusade were chosen pawns by the Argent Covenant, but after the Battle of Atonement Isle, both pawns were nearly rendered useless... The results were minimal...
The fighting continued unabated, which could be considered as achieving Ansrem's initial plan...
The flames of war between the Alliance and the Horde have been ignited. Not only in the Eastern Kingdoms, but also in Kalimdor, Northrend, and the ravaged world of Outland, the orcs' homeland, a battle is about to unfold as they vie for more land and resources...
Atonement Island was just a minor incident, though for Lorraine it felt like an apocalyptic crisis.
In the grand, sweeping vortex of Azeroth, Lorraine's experience was merely a rapidly receding ripple...
He also benefited from it, losing another eye...
Is this a good thing?
The Frost Eye that the great lich Kel'Thuzad bestowed upon Lorraine was not of good intentions...
By using Eye of Ice, Kel'Thuzad could share Lorraine's vision and pinpoint his location...
Even though the teacher, after possessing him, forcibly moved the Frost Eye to his left eye, separating it from the Soul Prison of the Necromancer's Rune right eye... this still added another shackle to Lorraine's body...
It's a blessing...
Both are cages and chains...
Is the power of the great lich so easy to enjoy?
......
What Lorraine didn't know was that three days after his disappearance, Prince Garin, who was supposed to be dead, appeared in Stromgarde...
Prince Garin, who disappeared with Lorraine and then suddenly reappeared, refused Master Yuvel's apology and offer of help...
Stromgarde has completely severed ties with the Alliance...
Rumors circulate that the remnants of Stromgarde are transferring their troops, having formed an alliance with the Blackwater bandits of Booty Bay in the southern part of the Eastern Kingdoms. Furthermore, more human bandits have appeared in the jungles of Stranglethorn Vale, their intentions unclear...
After being swallowed by the black water, Raelian, the Sword of Tranquility, and others fell into a coma. Three days later, the survivors knew nothing about Lorraine, as if they had lost their memories. Jordan of the Scarlet Crusade and Herod of the Light Blade, who knew some fragments, remained silent about the secrets surrounding Lorraine.
They were known as Lorraine the Plaguebringer, who wreaked havoc on the island, murdering many Scarlet Crusade warriors and civilians.
The Scarlet Crusade's primary enemy, and among the top wanted fugitives on the wanted list, besides Nathanos & the Witherer, the Queen's chief sycophant stained with the blood of the Scarlet Crusade, has now been added to the list: the Plaguebringer Lorraine...
As for how the Blackwind Knights, those death knights, obtained Lorraine's information and even invited him to the Great Tomb of Archerus... Lorraine only heard from Yurev's message that it seemed the Blackwind Knights of Archerus had captured one of his eleven death knight underlings...
They seem to have a deep-seated fear that someone can transform and control death knights like the Lich King...
Lorraine is born with a grudge against the Knights of the Ebon Blade and the Scourge, simply because he is not only a Forsaken, but also a necromancer capable of manipulating and resurrecting corpses... Most remarkably, the death knights controlled by Lorraine are different from the death knights of the Knights of the Ebon Blade who have regained their free will...
Scholomance also discovered this...
Having too much debt is bad, but having too many enemies is something you should avoid...
After the torment and trials before and after the Redemption Island incident.
The Land of the Dead in the northern part of the Eastern Kingdom can no longer accommodate the weak Lorraine. He must strengthen himself, and most importantly, the deadline for the second part of his teacher's work is approaching... If he delays any longer, his adoptive father might lose his temper...
Going away from the undead territory to the orcs' side seems to also be a way of escaping her adoptive father's watchful eye.
However, at this very moment, under the midday sun of the twenty-sixth day, among the onlookers of the delegation in the dark alleys of Orgrimmar...
The inscriptions on the pages of the Book of the Dead were practically a warning from his adoptive father to himself and his teacher... Lorraine knelt in the chaotic crowd, clutching his head in anguish, while Lilith was frantic and didn't know how to help her friend.
After the delegation members were resurrected, stood up, and left, Lorraine remained kneeling...
The masked Saintess Irene didn't even glance back at Lorraine; she seemed to have reverted to her identity as an envoy of Undercity, her eyes fixed only on the task assigned by the Queen...
Eileen led her people away...
Various voices appeared in Lorraine's mind.
There were Prince Garin's curses, Mayor Bon's gratitude upon being freed, and the weeping of the mayor's nephew, Seid... There were the wails of the fallen soldiers of Southshore, Hercula's resentment, Archmage Atarik of Ambermill, and the fear of Duckclaw Thule, Archmage Arugal, Irene, and Teacher Taylor, the Inscriptionist Joseph...
Slowly, the instructions of Blood Elf Battlemage Captain Terra, the invitation of Archmage Romans, the taunts of the Hell Imp, the prophecy of the Shadow Mage, Aegwynn's quest, Master Merlin's praise, the desperate struggle of the mysterious man in the sewers after giving Lorraine the Eye of Shadow, the entrustment of the Tauren Gamor, the threat of the High Apothecary Putres, Eileen's respect, and the teacher's final warning...
Countless wronged souls—friends and elders—are eroding Lorraine's fragile and vulnerable spirit...
He thought he had been able to independently control thousands of undead puppets all this time, until today, when he realized that wasn't control at all; even simple commands nearly drained his meager mental energy...
Eleven Death Knights, eleven commanders of the Death Knights, are the key to his ability to control the army of the dead...
Just like the living, no one can achieve truly flat management; even a god would find that level of mental effort draining their divine power... The Book of the Dead, the Book of the Dead, seems to be a reminder to Lorraine...
Heart or brain... possibly the next part.
The Dark Bible didn't provide any clues as to where Lorraine was.
In his final moments, Lorraine seemed to see several images: in a region of yellow sand dunes similar to the Orgrimmar mountains, enormous thorny vines directly covered the barren mountains...
Then, Lorraine saw a large lake nestled among the mountains... Moonlight spilled onto the lake's surface, and towering trees surrounded it, their shadows seemingly spreading outwards...
But soon, the yellow sandstorm returned, and Lorraine saw a cave. The entrance was unremarkable, nestled among ruins. A giant yellow dragon guarded the cave... Inside, the starry sky was hidden. Then, the dragon roared, and a sonic wave swept through, spreading a blurry green world. Lorraine saw a withered giant tree, on which were incredibly familiar, enormous octopus tentacles... baring their fangs and claws...
"Huh! What is that? Is it an upgrade? Or an illusion?"
