190 [Kael'thas in the Outlands]
190 [Kael'thas in the Outlands]
On the hills thirty kilometers northeast of the ruins of Dalaran is a camp hastily established by the coalition mages.The camp is not large in size, only about a dozen tents, but the security measures are very strict. There are three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry around the perimeter, which shows its importance.
Although the undead entrenched in the ruins of Dalaran have been eliminated, if the Scourge knew that Dalaran, the blood elves and the high-ranking officials of the allied forces did not die in the Dalaran explosion, but were teleported to another world , now the coalition forces are working hard to welcome them back, and the natural disaster will definitely not let them stay here safely.
At the top of the hill is an open space occupied by a wide variety of magical equipment.You can see the various magical lights flickering above from a distance.
Dozens of crystal staffs are neatly inserted into the ground in a certain order. They are connected with each other by energy lines containing destructive power. Together with the complex magic runes on the ground, they form an extremely complex magic circle. .
The mages walked nervously through it, performing their duties, with beads of sweat on their faces. They were afraid that there would be some operational error and the hill, along with everyone on the hill, would be blasted with enough magical energy to flatten a small town. Not even a scum is left.
Someone carefully used spells to adjust the parameters of the magic circle, directing the arcane energy to the emerald green bead suspended in mid-air, which was the Moon Crystal that was on the verge of being scrapped three months ago because it carried the magic power that caused the Sunwell to overload and explode. .
Arcane energy connections as thick as arms rise from the magic circle, and the stars "hold up" the emerald green beads like the moon.
Under the injection of a large amount of magical energy, the emerald green bead continued to tremble, and in the deafening extreme buzzing sound, it emitted frightening energy fluctuations, as if it contained destructive power.The breathtaking emerald green light illuminated every detail within a hundred meters radius, making the already tense atmosphere even more eerie.
In the air not far behind the bead is the place where Kel'Thuzad summoned Archimonde when the final battle of Dalaran began.
A demon's claw stretched out from here, destroying half of the city of Dalaran with a death ray, defeating the coalition forces of all races in one fell swoop.Then this unprecedented giant portal continued to expand until it could accommodate the unimpeded passage of the Burning Legion's number two figure, who was equal to Kil'jaeden besides Sargeras.
Although this giant portal leading to the twisted void has been closed, it still left deep traces on space.It weakens the space barrier in the physical world of Azeroth, making the space here very unstable.
It was precisely because of this rift, and the Eye of Dalaran that Ner'zhul used to open the portal to escape in Draenor more than ten years ago, that it coincidentally released the location mark during the self-destruction process. The message replaced the destination landmark of the teleportation spell cast by Antonidas to protect everyone, causing a group of people who were supposed to be teleported to a safe area to be inexplicably sent to the broken ruins of Draenor by accident. Outland.
However, calling it a "crack" is somewhat inappropriate, because it is clearly a spherical thing appearing in a three-dimensional space. It is about ten meters in diameter and is expanding with the injection of mana. It is larger than the surrounding space. The color is slightly darker, and through a layer of hazy mist, you can vaguely see the twinkling stars inside, just like the endless starry sky.
At this time, the red-haired Ronin, Tirion Fordring of the Silver Hand, the lord of the Wildhammer dwarves, Sarlacc Eagle Ax, and several magisters of the blood elves were standing diagonally below the spherical "crack", watching intently. The light curtain made of mana in the center of the "rift".
It's just that the picture of this light curtain is very unclear, it is undulating violently, and nothing can be seen clearly.
When Angmar broke away from the teleportation spell and appeared under the "rift", he happened to see the hot-tempered Sarlacc Eagle Ax waving his arms and yelling to Luo Ning: "Mage, do something, this situation has been going on for several minutes. "
Just when Ronin was having a headache organizing his words, trying to explain what happened to the Wildhammer dwarves in the most understandable terms, Magister Idonis also noticed Angmar's arrival.
"Three seats."
Idonis saluted, with a look of deep frustration on his face.
Angmar noticed that something was wrong with everyone's expressions, and looked at the light curtain that failed to appear as expected, wondering: "What's going on?"
"Ten minutes ago, the Moon Crystal suddenly sensed the existence of the other two. Prince Kael'thas must be trying to communicate with us on the other side, but when we started to connect according to the process"
Idonis shook his head and pointed at the light curtain,
"As you can see. Even if the energy we injected into the Moon Crystal has reached five times overload, we still cannot establish stable two-way communication. If this continues, the Moon Crystal will be scrapped."
Luo Ning also sighed and said from the side: "We misjudged the distance between the two worlds. It seems that relying on the mutual induction between the three moon crystals of His Highness Kael'thas is not enough to achieve our purpose. We can't even make a two-way connection now, let alone use it to open a portal."
Sarlacc was stunned and asked in disbelief: "Master Luo Ning, do you mean they can't come back?"
No wonder the Wildhammer Lord is like this.After all, their great lord, Falstad Wildhammer, the leader of Eagle's Nest Mountain, was also teleported to the Outland.
"I can only say that the possibility is slim." Luo Ning was silent for a long time, and finally said in a deep voice.
Angmar squinted his eyes and observed the moon crystal in mid-air.I saw that the surface of the emerald green bead was already covered with fine cracks, and it was obvious that it could no longer hold up.
It turns out that this is the fundamental reason that stumps all the magicians.
They are now a skillful woman who can't make a meal without rice, guarding Dalaran's abundant magical energy, but there is no room for it to be used.Because the distance between the two worlds greatly weakens the mutual induction between the three moon crystals, the efforts to use this natural connection to reveal the planet's location and then open the portal to the outer world can almost be said to have failed. .
It is not easy to accurately find a planet among the billions of stars in the vast sea of stars.
Just as he was about to speak, there was a sudden exclamation from beside him.
"Look, it's Prince Kael'thas"
Angmar heard the sound and looked around. For some reason, Kael'thas' figure appeared on the light curtain, but the image was still very unstable and might disappear at any time.
"Azeroth, can you receive our picture?"
Kael'thas's voice came out intermittently.
"Your Highness"
"Your Highness"
The blood elves, who had not seen Kael'thas for a long time, were overjoyed and even cried for joy.
After the Scourge invaded Quel'Thalas, Kael'thas' prestige became more and more popular as he took over the throne in the face of danger.For a month, everyone knew what hardships the leaderless blood elves had experienced.From the beginning of civil strife among the conservative nobles to the current struggle to fight against natural disasters, everyone is eagerly looking forward to his return, and no one dares to imagine what the blood elves will become without the prince.Although Kael'thas is far away in Draenor at this time, he may see his influence. How can the blood elves here be unhappy?
"Can Ai accept our face?"
Kael'thas, however, seemed to have not heard everyone's calls and was still repeating what he just said.
"Damn Voretal, check the energy output. I can't receive any response from there. There's something wrong with the spell."
Everyone's cheers stopped suddenly and they looked at each other in confusion.
"Your Highness," Angmar strode forward and called twice. After finding that Kael'thas on the screen had no response, he turned around and said loudly: "Record the plane coordinates immediately, contact may be interrupted at any time."
Two-way communication has been established, which means that the location of Kael'thas can be traced back to the source.Even if the two parties cannot communicate effectively, having a location mark means that it becomes possible to open the portal.
But Idonis's reaction made Angmar's mood suddenly fall to the bottom.
Idonis's right hand was seen facing the emerald green bead in the air. The palm of his hand was filled with the light of magic. His eyes were closed tightly, as if he was sensing something.But after a few seconds he opened his eyes and shook his head regretfully towards Angmar.
"Can Azeroth receive our footage?"
