29. Broken World, Broken Crown(1/2)
While the Black trio were providing "final care" for the troubled Narulula, the Blades of Light whose faith had collapsed were sent out of the dark palace.
They temporarily lost the ability to fight due to their broken minds, so they could only use blessings instead of participating in the war.
Captain Faria, holding the Book of Light and Darkness in her hand, looked at her Archbishop with a weak but worried look as he closed the door of the palace. Mograine's temperament was obviously different when they separated.
But Captain Faria didn't think much about it.
In her heart, the Archbishop is still a very reliable man who can make people feel safe under any circumstances.
She and her companions did not go far, at least they did not move to a completely safe place like Little Star. They stayed outside the palace to pray for the people inside.
Although they knew that there was an extremely powerful ancient god and a mysterious dual realm walker inside, everyone believed that the ensuing battle would be fierce.
Because they have witnessed the power of Dark Narulula with their own eyes.
The battle between light and darkness in their imagination is definitely very fierce, even life-threatening.
Especially after the battle began, they heard Lula's dark screams and felt the tide of darkness rising everywhere. This made the Holy Light Warriors really sweat for the three men who challenged the Dark Naaru.
However, at the last moment, the extremely powerful and vivid holy light summoned by Mograine fell from the sky, blasting through the palace dome and clearing away all the darkness, and made the warriors who had just experienced a crisis of faith cheer.
This group of devout warriors regarded it as a blessing from the Holy Light and an inspiration to them.
It seems that at this moment when darkness shrouds the mind, he wants to show them the majesty of the pure light and let them return to the warm embrace of the holy light.
Many Blades of Holy Light knelt down in front of the blazing light. Having witnessed the "miracle" with their own eyes, they burst into tears and repented for their previous doubts about their faith.
Seeing with your own eyes the scene of a dark place being illuminated again by bright light is full of religious and divine revelation.
However, in fact, what happened in the palace cannot be said to be exactly the same as the battle they imagined, it can only be said to be completely different.
There is no fight at all...
Black and his group used "talk therapy" for Lula's hospice care.
Although the process was somewhat tortuous, the final result was good. After a long wait of more than ten minutes, the palace door, which was closed and then shrouded in holy light, finally opened again.
The stinky Black and the Double Realm Walker walked out of it wrapped in darkness. Behind them, Archbishop Mograine held a Naaru core that was completely purified by the holy light.
This thing can be called the "Heart of Holy Light".
It is as big as an adult.
Although it still maintains the scarred appearance of Lula's core, the warm light contained within it is enough to make it a genuine holy object of holy light.
When she saw Mograine reappearing wearing the Holy Light, Captain Faria cheered and rushed over to give the Archbishop a hug from her companions, but the strong female warrior finally suppressed the excitement in her heart.
She took the shining object from Mograine's hand, and heard the Archbishop warn her:
"Keep it safe, Faria. This is a gift left to us by a respectable Guardian Naaru. It will guide us to touch the true meaning of the Holy Light again in our confusion, which explains all the good things.
It means a lot to our brothers in the Legion of Light."
"Well, I will protect this pure thing with my life."
Captain Faria held the Heart of Holy Light in her arms and responded loudly.
Just the contact calmed her slightly confused and restless heart. This thing seemed to be singing to her, a song of praise full of hope and courage.
"I said, you owe me a big favor this time! Because I was busy relieving Lula and forgot about the real thing, I suffered heavy losses this time.
So I think you should give me enough compensation."
Black sat on a stone, holding a burning pipe in his mouth and making a claim against the Double World Walker and Mograine in a very unhappy tone.
Probably in order to strengthen the rationality of his demand for compensation, the stinky pirate began to present facts and reason.
He kept blowing out smoke rings and said:
"The Naaru are at their weakest when they transition from light to darkness. They have left the Holy Light Force but have not yet fully entered the void realm. At this time, the essence of both powers is unlikely to respond to their calls.
Moreover, the weakened vitality makes it difficult for the Naaru to react sensitively to attacks. The only trouble is the aura of corruption they exude in this situation.
The connection with the Sunless Sea makes anyone approaching them equal to approaching the dark sea of truth.
This is equivalent to looking directly into the abyss.
If light-forged paladins like you were allowed to purify her, it would be conservatively estimated that at least two hundred people would be required to cast spells together to free her from her dark fate.
You must also be prepared to lose troops and generals.
But you are in luck today, great knight.
Dual Realm Walker and I are the kind of bastards who are favored by the void. As you saw just now, we ignored the dark aura she exuded and came into contact with her body.
This made it possible to purify her.
Without my dedication, there would be no victory today!”
"I know you are bargaining and trying to increase the price, and I can understand what you want to express. I don't have a problem with you thinking that you are a bastard, but please don't bring me with you, okay?"
The Dual Realm Walker seemed to be in a very good mood at this time. This guy who was supposed to follow the mystical route actually made a joke. He complained to the pirates in a trembling electronic voice:
"That may be a weird custom used by the servants of the Fallen Void to laugh at themselves, but we practitioners here in the Pure Void never call ourselves that."
"Oh, just understand the meaning. Don't pick on the words."
Blake stared and said:
"Do you really expect ordinary people to be able to tell the difference between depravity and purity? In their eyes, all those who walk on the road of void are evil bastards.
But I don’t want to talk about this. The main thing is that the issue of compensation must be put on the agenda!
Judging from the smile on your face, the bargaining with the Void Will probably went very smoothly...
so good.
You have a great future, Mograine and his blindly obedient brothers have found hope, everyone has a bright future, except me, I got nothing except my busy schedule.
This is great.”
Hearing Black's strange voice, the Double Realm Walker immediately shook his head. He raised his hands, and under the pirate's gaze, a ball of power invisible to the naked eye was lifted up and handed to his eyes.
The ethereal hunter whispered to him:
"This is a compliment given to me by the Lord I am loyal to. It is a very precious non-attributed force that comes from the accompaniment of the lightless sea swallowing the truth.
I give half of it to you, my distinguished colleague, knowing that you who walk the path of balance need it more than I do.
This is also a thank you for helping me start a new career."
"Only half?"
The pirate complained:
"You are not as lucky as me to find a solid path to the realm of the Force. This precious thing has no other use for you except to strengthen your existence.
However, the virtual spirit has already lost its physical entity in the disaster in its hometown, so the precious force cannot have a very good effect on strengthening you.
Why don't you take out the remaining half and I'll trade it with you for other things."
"No, I refuse."
The pirate's exchange proposal was immediately rejected by the Double Realm Walker.
Blake's words could not fool it. This mysterious ethereal spirit let out a burst of light and weird laughter. It whispered in a tone of sharing secrets:
"For the road to the highest power, the container itself directly determines the end of our journey. My dear Blake, there is nothing you can give in exchange for the force in my hands.
Accept this parting gift.
I am leaving this world, and I am going back to my people to gather the bravest and wisest warriors among us to prepare for the coming era of chaos.
We may accept your invitation to travel to Azeroth to participate in the final battle of the Burning Crusade.
We may sit on the sidelines, but no matter what, it won't change the newly born 'friendship' between us."
The Dual Realm Walker paused, and then reminded in a serious tone:
"In addition, what happened to Mac'Aree cannot be hidden from the Burning Legion.
If your previous activities were just stealing food near an elephant's nest, then your actions this time are equivalent to biting a piece of meat from the elephant.
The angry demons will quickly mobilize to extinguish your fire that should not exist.
A cruel war is coming, may the void bless you with peace."
"Void blessing, this is not a good thing."
The pirate reached out and grabbed the attributeless force gifted to him by the Double Realm Walker, took the flowing power into his body, and called it Elune's name to include it in the rank of Moon Night War God.
As the power of order strengthened, the "imbalance" crisis he felt was slightly alleviated.
But the balance of neutrality is still very tilted, which means that the pirates continue to seize the time to complete "self-balance" while participating in the Argus War.
He watched as the Dual Realm Walker opened an ethereal door leading to an unknown place among the stars. The guy jumped into the door and disappeared with the unique flickering gesture of the ethereal.
There wasn't even a final farewell wave and goodbye. I can only say that these virtual spirits are really too rude!
Blake blew out the smoke ring and complained harshly in his heart. Then, he grinned again, flipped his fingers, and a dim dusty badge jumped into his hand.
This thing is made of special crystal.
Archimonde's Enlightenment Mark is made from the same material as Velen's Prophet's Eye. When the pirate holds it, he can clearly feel the growth and protection of wisdom that this crystal badge brings.
