Chapter 399: Headwind Path

On this day in the twenty-sixth year of the Dark Portal of Azeroth, here in the Land of Fire, something seems to be the greatest discordant factor for the fire elementals: the fire elemental lord, one of the four elemental lords, the In the world of Azeroth, Ragnaros, the Lord of Fire, who was about to return to the Land of Fire to recuperate after being beaten badly by a certain black dragon prince, was captured on this day. A certain little girl who entered its lair was beaten to death alive in the Land of Fire with some kind of magical frost flame...

From this day on, Ragnaros, the Lord of Fire, has completely become an insignificant term in the history of Azeroth!

Of course, the death of Ragnaros, the Fire Demon King, was not lonely, because ah, he was beaten to death on the same day as him, and there was a certain Leo Lis who wanted to ride on the wall and become a second-five boy lord. Vertex Novel The fastest update

This ancient lava giant that has lived for countless thousands of years miscalculated the situation on both sides, thinking that a certain little girl would never return to the Flame Land, so it took it for granted that it planned to stand in the flames of the Return of the King. The side of Ragnaros, the demon king, and then, of course, it died...

After the morale-boosting Fire Demon Royal Guard Legion and a large number of elite fire elemental lords beat Lord Leolis to death, they simply dug out the opponent's lava core, completely cutting off its re-introduction to the land of flames. Any possibility of resurrection!

So, when little Anne finished handling the matter of the land of flames, repaired the hole in the space that was torn by the big dead screw, and strengthened the various safety protection measures in the molten field cast by the Titans again. After that, she finally returned to the main material world of Azeroth one step ahead of the fire elements.

Because she still has to go with those fleets to go to the western wilderness to meet the little sister Vanessa who she hasn't seen for a long time, who could only cry back then!

However, when she came to the mouth of the sea in the south of Naferregan Lake in Stranglethorn Vale again, it was just like what a captured orc shaman thought, she could not find that place now. A team of goblin pirate fleets escorting weapons and equipment to the western wilderness!

For this reason, after worrying for a while, little Annie resolutely decided: she can actually go to the western wilderness first to wait for them. After all, it would take at least ten days and half a month for the fleet to sail at sea, and she, who had sailed in the Caribbean world before, hated the speed of those sailing ships!

Immediately afterwards, Anne, who always thought of doing whatever she thought of, teleported directly to the north for a long distance, and arrived at the strange place in front of her in an instant. The place.

As far as the eye can see, the trails that have not been walked for a long time are full of vines and fallen leaves,

And twistingly hovering between the mountains, it seems that no one has passed by for a long time.

At the same time, the sky is still shrouded in a faint darkness, so that the sun cannot shine in during the daytime...

Anyway, Anne looked over, whether it was the surrounding mountains, or the mage's tower in the valley that had been abandoned for a long time, all of them were filled with a strange or ominous breath of death.

In short, here, this place is very dangerous for ordinary people, and it can be felt from the breath alone.

In addition to the above information that can be seen by individuals, Anne also discovered some abnormalities hidden under the surface: near the abandoned mage tower, the causal law of space and time appears to be very chaotic! For ordinary arcane masters, this seems to be a good place to build a mage tower and spy on the world of Azeroth or other multi-planes.

However, this kind of place is actually useless to Anne!

Because, having already fused and absorbed the rules of space gems, she can now freely shuttle between different plane worlds, and there is no need to use this troublesome place to find it slowly!

"Um... my dear Tibbers..."

"I guess...we...should...maybe come to the wrong place this time? Why don't you guess where in the world of Azeroth this is?"

From Stranglethorn Vale to a long-distance random teleportation to the north, Annie did not go to the destination she was planning to go to, the Western Wilderness, but came to such a weird place! She has always been big-hearted, and she also knows that this must be a desolate mountain area. Presumably, it should not be the Western Wilderness that Farana and the goblin pirate talked about, right?

She remembered that the little goblin John Misril once said that Westfall was a great plain and an important granary for the Kingdom of Stormwind! There, there are countless mines and farms and pastures, and many town residents, handicraftsmen, merchants, farmers, or tenant farmers of the Stormwind Kingdom are also settled there. Of course, there must be more bankrupts, refugees, and helpless Homeless or robbery robber!

Anyway, as far as the environment that Annie sees does not match that of the Western Wilderness, no normal person would choose to live in such a dark place! Because the darkness in the sky and the shadows or other negative forces in the surroundings alone are enough to make the sun-loving plants wither and make animals and humans go crazy or get sick.

(…)

(I don't know, never been to this place... but I can be sure: this is definitely not the Westfall you want to go to!

Anyway, Tibbers doesn't care where he goes, besides, the fleet of elves and dwarves is probably still floating in the sea, they don't have the convenient teleportation spell of Tibbers and his little master, With a 'swoosh', you can go wherever you want!

Of course, the premise is that you can’t fly in the wrong direction and distance. If it’s like its own little master, if it messes around in a wrong direction with your temper, then you definitely can’t go wherever you want of……)

"How do you know this is not the West Wilderness, you have never been to this place! Maybe, the West Wilderness actually looks like this?"

Little Annie, who was never willing to admit defeat or admit mistakes easily, although she probably agreed with her little bear's point of view in her heart, but with her stubborn mouth, it is impossible for her to admit the fact that she made a mistake so easily!

Whether it's to maintain her majesty as the master, or to show off her professionalism as an archmage, she, the master, can only be right, and the only one who is wrong will always be Xiao Xiong!

(little master...)

(The goblin once said that Westfall is westward from the north of Stranglethorn Vale... If you take a boat to the sea, sail northwest along the coastline, you can reach a plain near the sea in Westfall...Since they can Arriving by boat, the West Wilderness must be to the west, and it still has a coastline! But look now... here, it is obviously in the central mountainous area of ​​this continent. Any sign of approaching shore?

Moreover, if I remember correctly, just now when you positioned to the north for teleportation, the direction of the fixed point should be northeast, not northwest...

Tibbers didn't dare to say any more when he said this, because he knew that his little master was showing signs of getting angry from embarrassment. If he didn't want to be punished for no reason, it would be better to shut up honestly and early. )

"Okay then! Tibbers... I think we got lost again this time..."

That's right, getting lost or something is just a small accident, and Annie will not admit that she is an important member of the Road Crazy Party! Besides, whoever made this planet so big, getting lost and so on can only be the fault of this planet of Azeroth, and she must not blame Annie herself for the reason!

The planet is so big, isn't it normal to accidentally get one or two numbers wrong and go to the wrong place?

(Master, you are lost...)

(Tibbers feels that this is a matter of principle. It is not a road idiot, but a professional shadow creature navigator, and its owner is a person in two worlds in terms of sense of direction! So, that The word 'we' seems a little inaccurate to it?)

"snort!"

"If I hadn't been to this place before, where would I get lost? Big deal... Let's go to that big house and find someone to ask?"

Annie herself firmly believes that she is not really a road idiot, she just loses her sense of direction easily in unfamiliar places, just a little bit! Anyway, as long as it is a place she has personally visited once, then she will never go wrong again.

(Master, I'm afraid there are no living people around here... Look, in the wilderness, even the mage's tower below has an ominous atmosphere. The energy fluctuations of undead and shadows are very strong. It shouldn't seem like a living person. where people live.

The dark and dilapidated building below in the crack of the valley made Tibbers feel more like a gathering place for the undead! If there were living people living there, why would the house be left in such a dilapidated state? )

"I'm not afraid if there is no living person! Then let's go in and catch a ghost to ask the same!"

Annie has already felt that there are ghosts and other things in this abandoned mage tower!

Although ordinary undead creatures may have confusion and other conditions, as long as they forcibly ingest and sort out the remaining memory fragments in the soul of the other party, they will definitely know a lot of things and figure out where it is.

"Let's go, Tibbers... let's go to the haunted house for an adventure!"

She didn't have any other good choices, so she just grabbed her little bear's arm and walked quickly down the abandoned mage tower from the rugged rocky mountain path.

Haunted houses and the like definitely won't scare Annie herself, and neither will blaming sorghum! In fact, there are not many things that can scare Annie now!

After all, fear stems from the unknown. Whether it is evil spirits or demons, they are just some weird negative energy creatures. If you really dare to come out to scare her casually, see if Little Anne will Teach them to be ghosts with a fireball as big as their face?

Once her flame is thrown out, no matter if it is a human or a ghost, if it is accidentally hit, it will burn to nothing!

croak...

However, just as Annie ran to the bridge surrounding the wall and was about to enter this strange and abandoned mage tower, a black raven suddenly flew from nowhere to a broken stone pillar in front of her , Then, Annie stopped in surprise, and began to look at the other party curiously.

Because she could tell at a glance: this raven has fluctuations in the magic power of transformation, and it should be directly transformed by someone, not an ordinary killing animal.

"Hi! Hello, little crow... who are you, why are you blocking my way?!"

Coincidentally, Annie originally wanted to go into this mage tower to ask ghosts, but since a deformed mage appeared here, she was too lazy to do other more troublesome things.

"..."

The raven didn't croak or spit out human words again, but turned its head sideways with its small black eyes full of human nature, looked at little Annie carefully for a while, and then patted its wings hard. It jumped down from the stone pillar at once, and stood in front of the rocky bridge. Then, bursts of turquoise light began to burst out from its body, causing its entire body and feathers to scatter and swell rapidly!

Soon, as the glare of the glare and the weird mana fluctuations gradually disappeared, a strange old man with a wooden cane in his hand, a dark red hooded cloak, and a raven feather shawl on his shoulders, It appeared in front of Annie alive.

"Respected Your Majesty the Flame Queen, the mighty Immortal... You have finally returned to the world of Azeroth..."

The black-haired cloaked old man who appeared showed a respectful salute to Annie, and then began to keep looking at the little girl with his uncertain eyes.

Because he found that compared to the last time he saw this little girl, although the other party's mana fluctuations seem to be weaker now, her strength is even stronger... About this point, he can't be fooled. Eye!

"Huh? You actually know me?"

"But... who the hell are you, you look so familiar... Wait, don't talk, let me think about it... Let me think about who you are, this weird guy, I think I'll definitely remember!"

For some reason, Annie always felt that she had seen this strange guy who could turn into a crow with spells, so she urgently searched for his information from her memory. Of course, it must be indispensable to secretly ask his little bear.

(…)

"Aha! I remembered, you were more than two years ago, and you wanted to pretend to be a prophet to trick me into beating the big demon Archimonde's McDonnell, am I right?!"

Finally, combined with the other party's maverick image, Annie quickly found the other party's information from the corners of her messy memory! She even remembered that back then, it was this fake prophet who went looking for her together with the bronze dragon dwarf, which must be true!

"..."

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty Queen Anne, my name is actually Medivh...or, you can also call me Magna Medivh, the last time I went to see you, it should be six years ago..."

"Now I am not only an astral mage, but also a true prophet who has seen through a little fragment of the future. I am not pretending..."

Hearing that the other party called his name wrongly, Medivh quickly corrected the other party humbly and reiterated his status as a genuine prophet. Although, in front of these powerful people, his prophet's statement is indeed a bit untenable, but well, it cannot be said that he is a fake.

Think about how he led the people of Lordaeron to Kalimdor and organized them to fight against the Burning Legion. In the end, he succeeded, didn't he? Relying on what he saw in advance, he led the people of Azeroth to successfully defeat the evil and win another great victory against the Burning Legion!

"Medivh? Forget it, it doesn't really matter what your name is!"

"I'm asking you now, where is this place? You may not know, we originally wanted to run from Stranglethorn Vale to the Westfall, but I accidentally used a little more mana, and the teleportation distance became longer So I somehow ran to this strange place.”

Now that she met someone who could speak human language and seemed to be an acquaintance, Annie hurriedly asked about it and canceled the haunted house adventure plan that she had planned before. Although she is not afraid of those undead, but, she hates that kind of dilapidated house that is damp, damp and smells stinky and full of mold!

"Uh...you're going to Westfall?!"

Medivh felt a little strange. If he was going to Westfall, he would be there just by teleporting from Stranglethorn Vale to the northwest, right? Why is it that the other party is now so far away from the headwind path?

"Your Majesty Anne, this is actually Deadwind Pass, located in the middle of the southern continent of the Eastern Kingdom... surrounded by Dusk Forest, Elwynn Forest, and Stranglethorn Vale to the west, and the Cursed Lands, Swamp of Sorrows, and Redridge Mountains to the east... "

"And the West Wilderness you are going to is just west of our place, as long as you cross the dense twilight forest, you can reach it."

Although he didn't understand what the little girl was doing, Medivh answered the other party's simple question honestly.

"So that's the case... By the way, is this strange mage's tower your home? Why do I seem to find that it has some faint connection with you?"

After figuring out where she is, this is another issue that Anne cares about.

Ever since this guy named McDonald appeared in front of her, she was very sensitive to energy and easily discovered this!

The astral energy in this guy seems to be a bit like the chaotic space energy in this abandoned mage tower, and that abandoned mage tower seems to be related to this strange old man, if he is related to here If it doesn't matter, she will definitely not believe it!

"My home? No... Here in Karazhan... Although it used to be my home, it is no longer mine now..."

"In fact, now I don't have enough power to control and suppress this place...Inside, without enough power to suppress, all kinds of power monsters and phantoms start to be active unscrupulously...It's full of those Demons running from the mirror tower, creatures invading from different spaces, my experimental creatures, cursed souls, and mana residues of powerful forces left behind, those arcane elements..."

"So, I had to discard it..."

"Now, Your Majesty Queen Anne, you have also seen: Apart from some restrictions I set, this place has become more and more out of control... Under the long-term effects of those mana residues, the space and time in this Karazhan have become It is abnormally chaotic, and if ordinary people go in, there will be no good results... Moreover, the space on the top of the tower has been torn apart, and the twisted void is slowly swallowing it."

"If it is allowed to develop like this, I don't know what kind of terrible place it will turn into in the end..."

That's right, the current Karazhan is indeed not Medivh's home. After losing the power of the guardian, he can no longer suppress it. Inability to improve or do more.

Moreover, now that he is gradually hiding from the eyes of the world, he has discovered an important fact: this world of Azeroth no longer needs a guardian! Because, even the guardians can't fight against the Burning Legion. The huge power will only cause some worse results!

This is like the things he did before Medivh...

"It looks like this...then what are you planning to do here now? Could it be...do you want to go home and have a look?"

Since this guy keeps saying that he doesn't want it here, Annie is very strange: If he doesn't want it himself, then what is he doing here again?

Could it be... just like her, sometimes, even if it's something she doesn't want, even if it's thrown on the ground, no one else is allowed to take it away?

"No... That's actually because I recently discovered that there seems to be something wrong here, so during this time, I have been silently observing it from the outside..."

This is also the reason why Medivh was able to discover Anne's appearance here in the first place, because he had already come to Karazhan and started his observation operations more than a month ago.

"Your Majesty, you also know that although a few years ago, the plan of the Burning Legion to invade this world suffered a disastrous failure, and even their leader Archimonde died on Mount Hyjal... But recently, the Burning Legion has become active again Woke up... In addition to the outer domain, I also seem to faintly feel traces of powerful demons haunting here..."

"So, I came here, and I want to go in and do a good investigation. If possible, I need to make some necessary arrangements to prevent this special place from being used by the Burning Legion!"

Karazhan is a magical place, it can be easily linked to many astral planes, so Medivh is very worried that this place will become an important stronghold for the demons of the Burning Legion! Because, when he was possessed by Sargeras, he was directly connected to the twisting void. Now, the twisting void slowly devouring the surrounding space on the top of the tower is the proof!

Although this space gap is not big, if it is really used by demons, it will be a huge trouble! If you think about a small group of demons starting from here, raiding the core hinterland of the Stormwind Kingdom, or using the unstable space here to establish a stable legion portal, then something really big will happen!

Although he, Medivh, plans to retire and hand over the safety of the world of Azeroth to the people of the world of Azeroth, but he is still very concerned about things like the Burning Legion! And once he finds out that there is really a conspiracy of the Burning Legion here, and he himself is powerless, he might as well continue to go out and pretend to be that great mysterious prophet?

"Oh... so it's Jiangzi..."

"Then you have to work hard here, I'm going to go to the West Wilderness now!"

It's none of your business, hang on high, little Annie doesn't care about those things about the Burning Legion or demons!

So after she finished speaking, she pondered slightly, and began to guide the spell to open the portal in her hand! This time, she didn't plan to teleport directly there, but opened a door to see if it was the West Wilderness on the opposite side. After seeing it clearly, she decided whether to pass it or not?

"Her Majesty Queen Anne, may I ask you, what are you going to do in the West Wilderness?"

Seeing that the other party wasted mana so recklessly, they began to release portals one by one, and canceled them one by one after seeing that the scenery on the other side was wrong, Medivh couldn't help asking curiously.

"Actually, it's nothing. I have a younger sister over there, and I'm planning to trouble that Stormwind Kingdom... So I'm going to check it out too. If possible, I'll help her out!"

There is nothing to say about this matter, and Vanessa has not seen her for a long time. Since six years have passed in this world of Azeroth, she really wants to catch up on the old days. Anyway, she is idle now. Also idle.

"Are you going to attack... the Kingdom of Stormwind?!"

Medivh was really shocked, he never expected that this little girl was planning to do such a thing!

"Honorable Queen Anne...Although I know that your Flame Alliance is currently hostile to the Stormwind Alliance and is in a hostile war, but...now you are doing this while the opponent is fighting against the Burning Legion in Outland, I'm afraid it's not very good, right?"

"We all have a deep understanding of the horror of the Burning Legion... No matter who it is, even the guardians who once possessed powerful power, they must not be able to fight against them alone... Therefore, I hope that all races in the world of Azeroth We can unite with all the alliance tribes, and stop those fearless confrontations..."

Not seeing each other for several years, Medivh can no longer see clearly the strength of this little girl. However, he knew that the other party was at least a powerful demigod-level powerhouse! If an existence like this really went to cause trouble for the Stormwind Kingdom, it must be a terrible thing!

Thinking back, when the powerful Archimonde made a move, he showed the terrifying power that destroyed Dalaran... Then, this little girl, will she also die in a fit of anger? Do terrible things like blowing up Stormwind City?

The more he thought about it, the more likely Medivh felt that it was so frightened by his own thoughts that he started to break out in a cold sweat.

"Hmph! They are allowed to fight my Flame Alliance, but I am not allowed to fight them. How can there be such a saying?"

"I don't care about the Burning Legion! Anyway, I'm not afraid of the Burning Legion. It doesn't matter if it destroys the world or not? So, I've already decided: I'll fight Stormwind first! Let them know what will happen to those who bully my family while I am away!"

Waving her small fists, Annie glanced at the strange old man, and then continued to guide her spells.

"..."

What he said seemed to make sense, but Medivh was a little speechless...

"Well, Your Majesty Queen Anne, let's not be in a hurry about the Westfall or Stormwind City! You see, now here, I plan to go to Karazhan to find out. I don't know... Are you interested in joining me? Go in and try?"

Although he is no longer a member of the Stormwind Kingdom, let alone a guardian, and King Lane has been dead for many years... However, if he can help Stormwind City, Medivh will still do it.

Just like now, use other things to attract this little girl's attention?

Moreover, there might be some difficult opponents in this Karazhan, and Medivh, who was afraid that he could not handle him, since he met the opponent here, he really hoped that this little girl could help him.

He thinks, after completing the mission and coming out of Karazhan, I believe it has been a long time. By then, maybe this little guy has forgotten about the Stormwind City?

"Huh? You want me to enter this tower with you to explore? It sounds interesting... But, is it fun in there?"

Annie, who had already found the location of Westfall, was about to step into the portal when she heard what Medivh said behind her. She canceled the portal out of curiosity, and looked back at the portal with some expectation. A gray and abandoned mage tower.

If there is something interesting in it, it is not impossible to delay a little time.

"Of course, please believe me, Her Majesty Queen Anne..."

"This Karazhan is a magical place inside. I think you will be satisfied by then! Moreover, there are many spell books inside, all of which are from my collection back then! If you do me this favor, maybe, You can just take them?"

"Although you may not be able to use them due to your great strength, you will definitely be interested in some knowledge of the astral plane and some interesting world coordinates I have been to..."

Medivh, who probably understood a little bit about the little girl's personality, began to seduce the other party in a persuasive way.

Of course, he would not say that most of his valuable books and treasures have been secretly moved by the Violet Eye of Dalaran, and the rest are generally related to superb spells. irrelevant stuff!

But Medivh believes that this little girl will definitely be interested in those planes and other world knowledge coordinates like travel notes!

"Then what are you waiting for, lead the way!"

It must be that there is knowledge and coordinate records of other planes, Annie can't sit still immediately, let alone, this thing can seduce her more than any other treasure!
