The Second Empire of Azeroth

#21 - Will of Azeroth

Roger stood in a violet-colored space, where besides the flowing purple energy, there was nothing else.

Such monotony didn't make Roger feel anxious; instead, he felt a strange sense of warmth.

Until a voice, both illusory and real, sounded, "Child, it's time for you to return..."

Roger opened his eyes, still buried in the ruins. He moved his body slightly and found that apart from some pain, there was nothing seriously wrong.

He quickly opened the system to check, and it turned out he had only suffered minor injuries.

He really was lucky.

[Banished the soul of Sargeras, the Destroyer of Worlds, gained the talent Will of Azeroth, gained the title Demon Bane, gained 10 achievement points.]

Will of Azeroth: Azeroth will forever watch over you. From now on, you will be Azeroth's representative, and all creatures of Azeroth will feel a kinship with you.

Demon Bane: Legendary title. Demons below the legendary level will feel fear upon seeing you, and their combat power will be greatly reduced.

Roger was so happy that he jumped up, only to hit his head on a stone slab.

"Ouch!"

He punched the stone slab, but the smile remained on Roger's face.

This was a windfall!

Whether it was the Will of Azeroth or Demon Bane, both were rare and valuable.

The level of the Wuji Swordsman soared again, reaching level 15. He used 4 skill points to raise Wuji Swordsmanship to the master level, and with the remaining skill point, he learned the warrior's common skill, Leap Strike.

He hadn't learned it before due to a lack of protection, but now he had to make up for it. Back then… no, later, Hellscream used it to kill Mannoroth, and although a fatal blow was added, it was also a prerequisite skill and accounted for the main contribution. Then, he immediately used three achievement points to enhance it, upgrading it to Guillotine.

Guillotine: Jump towards the enemy and chop off their head. Jumping speed increased by 10%, strength increased by 10%, lethality increased by 10%.

Roger raised his eyebrows. System, you're really learning bad things!

Now he already had a bit of the demeanor of a legendary warrior, both in terms of combat power and handsomeness. As long as he learned Fatal Strike, Roger really wanted to find a pit lord to test its power.

Do you think my sword is not sharp enough?

The remaining 7 achievement points, one was given to Dauntless Charge, increasing control by 10%. In the game, a charge would cause a stun, but in reality, there was no such absolute control; the control ability was increased by 10%.

3 were used to upgrade Eagle Eye Technique to Telescopic Vision, increasing distance by 10%, macro vision by 10%, and micro vision by 10%.

The remaining 3 were kept in reserve.

Exiting the system, Roger gently pushed the stone slab above his body, but it wouldn't budge.

Just as Roger was about to try again, he heard Khadgar chanting.

A moment later, an elderly voice appeared, "What just happened? Why did the basement collapse?"

Lothar shouted excitedly, "Great, Moroes, quickly get us out!"

"Sir Lothar?" The old man's voice also carried surprise. "Please wait a moment, I will clear the rubble here soon."

Streams of arcane energy reached under the stones, slowly trapping and lifting them. The people buried below stood up unharmed, asking each other, "Are you alright?"

Everyone shook their heads, seemingly having suffered no major injuries.

Lothar breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head to thank the old man, "Thank you, Moroes, if it weren't for you, we would have died here..."

Although he had no expression, everyone could still hear the loneliness in his voice.

Khadgar looked at Lothar apologetically, "Once, Medivh went mad and accidentally killed him."

Lothar sighed, "I'm sorry, Moroes, we shouldn't have let you suffer such a fate."

Moroes put the stones aside and cast Levitate on everyone, rescuing them all. Only then did he say, "Sir, don't be sad for me. Actually, this is also good, so I can always manage the mage tower for my master."

He looked at the ruins, "It seems I'll be busy for a while."

With that, he turned and left.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

After a long while, Lothar said, "Let's go! Killing Medivh is only the first step. Next, we need to prepare for battle. There are still many things to be busy with."

"Wait, Sir!" Roger suddenly said, "If I remember correctly, Karazhan should be a fief of the Kingdom of Stormwind, right?"

Lothar looked at Roger in confusion and nodded, saying, "That's right. When we were young, Llane granted it to Medivh."

Roger said, "Now that Medivh is dead, shouldn't the kingdom reclaim this fief? Then send mages to take over the place. You know, a mage tower is a huge fortune, even if it's used as military expenditure, it's enough for us to fight the orcs."

Hearing this, Lothar couldn't help but feel a stirring in his heart.

Roger was never one to meddle in other people's business, so there must be something else he was implying. Thinking of this, he turned to look at Khadgar and indeed found that Khadgar was secretly anxious.

There must be something he didn't know about. Thinking of this, Lothar nodded and said, "After returning, I will explain it to His Majesty the King."

Roger said nothing more and walked towards the back door first.

Khadgar walked at the end, his face uncertain. At this moment, he hated Roger to the core. If it weren't for Roger's words just now, he could have taken Karazhan for himself. You know, Medivh only had one apprentice, and it was a matter of course for an apprentice to inherit the teacher's mage tower.

But if the Kingdom of Stormwind reclaimed Karazhan, then the mage tower would also belong to the Kingdom of Stormwind and have nothing to do with him.

He didn't care about the mage tower; what he really cared about was the knowledge inside and the powerful weapons preserved there. According to Dalaran's intelligence, there were no fewer than ten artifacts in Karazhan, the most famous of which was the staff of the Guardians, Atiesh.

Khadgar was an ambitious person; otherwise, he wouldn't have accepted the Violet Eye's assignment to come here as a spy. Seeing that the spy mission was overfulfilled, the fruits of victory were being taken away from under his nose.

Even if Khadgar had good self-restraint, he would still have the heart to kill Roger.

However, he didn't have the courage to kill anyone. The powerful strength displayed by Roger made him feel apprehensive.

It seems he can only send the message back to Dalaran and then find a way.

On the way back, Khadgar secretly sent a message to Dalaran at night. Before everyone could return to Stormwind City, Dalaran's envoy had already arrived in Stormwind City, hoping to obtain all rights to Karazhan from King Llane first.
