Menethil's Power

Chapter 253 Collapse
Alleria frowned, with cold anger in her eyes. Time hadn't left any marks on this graceful elf, but her heart had changed a lot. The second time The dangers encountered by the Windrunner family during the war made her realize that her family is her most precious thing. At the same time, because she was relieved of her position as a military leader, Alleria gave up her hatred for orcs and did not follow the coalition forces through the darkness. The door, but determined to stay to protect their loved ones.

Although she had little contact with family affairs before, Aurelia, who has been in important positions all year round, has excellent overall planning skills, so she quickly re-stabilized the family order. She was in awe even more than her father.

"Umbric, I lent you this house to give you a place to stay, but I didn't allow you to carry out your research." Alleria said angrily.

"Don't worry, Aurelia, we have known each other for so many years, you should know that I will never do risky things." Umbrick said, and at the same time he did not stop his movements because of Aurelia's arrival, a drop He carefully dripped the translucent liquid on a purple-black crystal, and immediately evaporated into wisps of smoke.

This is obviously a secret underground laboratory. There are about seven or eight elf mages. Their skin, including the leader Umbric, looks gray. This is not because the light in the basement is dim, but because their skin color has completely changed Turned into dark blue, this distinctive feature means that they are conducting some illegal research and have been infected by alien energy. If they appear in broad daylight, they will be arrested as dangerous elements immediately.

Alleria rubbed her forehead, in fact, when she promised to help Ubrick, she already had a hunch that the other party would never give up his "career", ": Why do you have to be obsessed with this evil power?" ? Even gave up the title of Magister."

"Evil power? No, no, no, the void is essentially the same as arcane energy, it's just more dangerous, so you must be very careful." Umbric turned around and said: "You should know that power is power, Righteousness and evil are only used to define the user, and have nothing to do with the power itself. Since we can learn the use of holy light, why can't we also carry out the study of the opposite void? Although the cost may be a bit high, the results obtained are inevitable Can make up for some losses."

Alleria shook her head helplessly, "If you can't stop your research on the void, I can only drive you away." The female elf said firmly, as if there was no room for negotiation at all, "The Windrunner family can't bear such a situation. implicated, once you are discovered..."

Suddenly there was a heavy sound from above, as if someone had broken into the door, "Aurelia!" There was a hoarse cry, and then the hidden door of the basement was suddenly opened, and a staggering figure broke in, and then he couldn't stand still and immediately rushed forward. fell to the ground.

The dark blue-skinned mages quickly took defensive actions, but Alleria exclaimed as soon as she saw the intruder's face, "Rillas?! Why are you here?"

Rillas tried to stand up, panting violently. He desperately rushed back to the family, and then rushed here to find Aurelia according to the servant's description, so he was almost completely exhausted at this time, and could hardly speak.

Alleria also found that Rillas' armor was almost completely useless. Her face changed and she began to check her brother's physical condition. "He needs treatment. Do you have any potions or medical scrolls here?"

Umbric handed over a medicine bottle. The emerald green liquid in the bottle was as clear as a crystal plate. Alleria immediately poured it down for Rillas. The latter coughed twice, his face became rosy, and his breathing was smooth. up.

"How do you feel?" Umbric looked at Lilas with great interest, "The essence of life extracted by the power of the void is almost [-]% pure, and you are the first person who is lucky enough to enjoy it."

A murderous look flashed in Alleria's eyes, and she gave Sanwu medicine. Fortunately, there was nothing unusual about Lilas, so the female elf decided not to pursue it for the time being.

"Demons, a large number of demons..." Lilas said, his throat felt dry, and it was difficult to speak for a while.

"A large number of demons?" Ubrick said with a thoughtful look: "Is the orc war not over yet? Could it be that I have stayed in this basement for so long that I don't know that Silvermoon City has always been surrounded by soldiers? "

"Not in Silvermoon City, but on the Isle of Quel'Danas! The Sunwell has fallen!" Rillas roared. He coughed violently, but he managed to say what he wanted to say in one breath.

Alleria stood up abruptly, "What did you say?" The elf opened her sky blue eyes wide.

"I don't know what's going on," Lilas said hoarsely, "it could be Darkan, or it could be the great magister Bi Luohua, anyway, someone betrayed all of us, they summoned a large number of demons in the Sunwell Highlands, destroyed The wizards and magisters were almost wiped out." He looked at Alleria blankly, "Sister, the prophecy is true."

It's hard to describe Alleria's shock in words. She subconsciously held down the hilt of the dagger at her waist, and took a few deep breaths, "What about the Sun King? His Majesty Anasterian Woolen cloth?"

"The last thing I saw was a terrifying demon walking towards the throne of the Sunstrider." Lilas said with difficulty.

"We have to rescue you." Alleria said immediately, her tone was very firm.

"Help me?" Ubrick shook his head, "With all due respect, that old fellow Anasterian should be almost dead by now. He can destroy the power of lawbreakers and magicians in a short time. How could the guards be able to resist? The blue-black elf looked at his companion, "Everyone clean up, we should change places. "

"what are you going to do?"

"Evacuate, believe me, Alleria, this is the most correct way out for everyone at present, but unfortunately there is still a problem with the spell model of the Nether Gate, otherwise we can just teleport away." Umbrick said hastily : "Silvermoon City is over. I still know a little about demons. They are obviously using the energy of the Sunwell to send more accomplices. If we confront them head-on, we will definitely lose. We can only retreat to preserve our strength."

Guidore's lifeline turned out to be the enemy's help, which would be a huge blow to all the elves. Umbric looked at Aurelia in disbelief, "You should also feel the sudden drop in the concentration of magic power Is it a lot?" he asked.

An important function of the Sunwell is to continuously release energy to form the high magic environment that the high elves rely on for survival, and this sudden energy backflow will only appear when the power of the Sunwell is mobilized in large quantities. Although Aurelia is not It is a legal profession, but the perception of arcane energy is the instinctive talent of every high elf.

The facts are here, and Alleria can only accept it. After digesting all the information, she finally regained her sense and calmness, "You can't leave, Ubrick, there are still many civilians in Silvermoon City, and they also need Evacuate, you must provide a helping hand, I recruit you in the name of the Windrunner family."

Umbrick was taken aback, "You are no longer a Ranger General, Alleria, you have no responsibility to protect civilians, and you have no right to recruit me," he reminded.

"When you were homeless, the windrunners provided you with shelter." Alleria said calmly: "If you still have humanity instead of monsters, now is the time for you to repay your kindness." gone."

Her hand was still on the hilt of the sword at her waist.

"Don't you think the power I'm using is evil now?" There was a faint smile on the corner of Uubrick's mouth.

"You've already said that justice is only about the user of the power, not the power itself." Alleria was expressionless.

"Very well, that's as you wish, ma'am." Umbric seemed to be convinced, and he bowed to Alleria simply, "We are at your disposal."

After a few minutes, Rillas regained some strength, and the dark blue elves put on cloaks that covered them tightly from head to toe.They came out of the lonely house into the sunshine.

This residence is located on a higher terrain, so you can see the northern coastline here. Alleria looked intently, and with the help of her eagle eye technique, she was able to clearly see that hundreds of mephits had already flown over Silvermoon City and In the strait between the islands of Quel'Danas, there are many Doomguards with sharp blades and wings on their backs.

Alleria couldn't help but suffocate for a while, it came so fast, it seemed that the end of the high elves was near.

"Look! What's that?" Rillas suddenly shouted, and Alleria immediately looked in the direction he indicated, and found that it was a meteor. The light stone of this meteorite was so bright, so It is still very eye-catching at noon, it drags a long green tail flame, and it seems to land on... Silvermoon City.

This is not a natural phenomenon, but the most iconic strike method of the Burning Legion.

Several meteors appeared one after another, and Alleria found in despair that she could do nothing but watch the meteorite crash into Silvermoon City. Flames and dust, and turned a large area into ruins, and this is not the end of the meteor strike. Giants made of fel flames and rocks crawled out of the giant craters that were smashed out. Roaring for hellfire monsters start wreaking havoc and harvesting life.

Rillas felt his heart trembling. He looked at his sister and found that Aurelia was also pale. It was not the power of hellfire that made the Windrunner siblings lose their composure, and the Windrunner happened to be hit directly by the meteorite. one of the regions.

And their father was still there.
