Menethil's Power

Chapter 304 Desperate Reversal
Kalia slightly opened her eyes and saw a dim light. After her vision became clear, she saw clearly that it was a warm fire.
She seemed to be safe, and felt no injuries at all, just a sense of extreme weakness, as if she had been treated in a coma.This made Kalia wonder, could it be that those hidden curse believers in Dalaran saved her?
Those Cultists of the Curse were very cautious and cautious. They only managed to help Kalia sneak into Dalaran and provided her with enough detailed information, but the main characters among them never showed up. It is unbelievable to save Kalia at such a big risk.But it seems that this is the only possibility again. After all, if the Dalaran mage found her, she should be in a dark dungeon by now.

"Are you awake, Your Highness the Princess?"

Kalia was about to stand up at this time, and this lying position would completely press the bat wings under her body, making her uncomfortable. Although this was an organ that grew after being transformed into a half-nathrezim, it seemed like part of her body.When she heard the words of the person who saved her, the eldest princess's body suddenly froze. If her memory is not wrong, she has never revealed her true identity to the Cursed Cultist.

And she still maintains the demon form now, without any basic disguise.

Kalia stood up abruptly and looked around vigilantly. The Scepter of Sargeras that she almost bought with her life was not at hand, but on a table not far away, a female human with black hair and black eyes was giving Study it with interest.The one who spoke before was a female high elf in dark red leather armor. That exquisite face made Kalia feel familiar. The eldest princess thought for a while, and then her face suddenly turned pale.

Although she has deliberately teased Isaacs over the past few years, Kalia secretly still pays close attention to her brother. Although she only met a few times, she still recognizes Isaacs' number one confidant who can come and go in and out of the palace at will, Valeera. · Sagunar.

In other words, the secret she had hidden for many years was finally revealed.

"Don't be nervous, you are safe now." Valeera said in a very relaxed tone, as if Kalia was still just a normal person.

"You... have already taken me out of Dalaran?" Kalia asked after hesitating.

"Let's put it this way, we are now in the Dalaran sewers, a secret stronghold of Blizzard. It is absolutely impossible for those mages to find this place. Oh, by the way, let me introduce you. I specially invited this person from the Royal Military Academy. Professor Natalie Serling, who healed your wound."

Natalie Serling is a blond and blue-eyed human priestess. She is very beautiful, but it is strange that she cannot tell her exact age. Kalia discovered that apart from the difference in hair color, she was actually the same as the one who studied Sargeras over there. The dark-haired woman with the cane has exactly the same features.

"I think I should be the first priest in Azeroth to successfully treat a half-demon. I'm glad you're recovering well, Your Highness." Natalie nodded.

As a priest, she was equally calm at this time.

Valeera looked at Natalie's black-haired "twin sister" following Kalia's line of sight, "As for the identity of that one, it's hard to explain, so let's just call her...Miss Sara."

Miss Sarah didn't look back, as if she didn't care that anyone talked about her.

Valeera looked at Kalia, "Since we have finished the introduction here, it's your turn next, Your Royal Highness." The female elf put away her smile, "Shouldn't you explain why you would Appeared in Dalaran? And became like this again?"

Come, Kalia's heart sank.It is impossible for her to escape after being seriously injured, and Valeera obviously will not allow her to evade this question. In all fairness, Kalia wants to tell the truth, but what should she say?Said that he was the murderer who caused the spread of natural disasters and plagues?At this time Tichondrius still controls part of her soul, will the dreadlord notice when she tells the truth?

She could only be silent.

Valeera just looked at her in silence, and after a while the female elf spoke in a regretful tone, "Aren't you willing to talk? Then I can only contact His Royal Highness Isaacs and ask him to have an interview with you in person. .”

"Don't!" Kalia screamed subconsciously, but then suddenly fell silent, and she herself found it ridiculous. Is it necessary to continue this kind of concealment?
Tichondrius will never let her go. The Dread Demon King never said there is no reason to use the chess pieces. Kalia knows this very well, but she has been avoiding the truth all the time. She doesn't want to think about what she is facing. brutal exit.However, according to this trend, her best ending is to be "mercifully" included in the ranks of the Dread Demon King by Tichondrius after killing all her relatives, and to invade more worlds with them.

This is really a suffocating future, with no hope in sight, Kalia closed her eyes tiredly, let it end, let everything end...

"All of this must start five years ago, when my father asked me to be engaged to Lord Prestor..." She began to tell the story very calmly, telling how she got the diary and how she wrote it in the diary. He learned fel spells under his guidance, and was transformed into a half-demon because he couldn't control the fel energy...

She entered the jungle of Zul'Aman, transformed the power of the god of the wilderness to promote herself to the hero level, and then secretly befriended the nobles to cultivate her own strength. Not long ago, she received a new order from the Dreadlord and became a spreader of the plague. Come to Dalaran to steal the Scepter of Sargeras.

Such an astonishing truth surprised even Valeera. She originally thought that Kalia was just suddenly bewitched by some evil existence, but she didn't expect that she had been hiding for so long. The reader has not discovered the abnormality of the eldest princess for so many years.

"You are really...excellent." Valeera couldn't help sighing.

Kalia didn't reply. At this time, she told all the secrets, feeling as relaxed as if she had unloaded a heavy burden.She waited quietly for Tichondrius' reaction, what would that dreadlord do to her "traitor"?question?intimidate?Or just crush her soul?

However, several minutes passed and nothing happened.

"Are you worried about the reaction of the big bat that controls your soul?" Miss Sara raised her head and asked, she seemed to have lost interest in the Staff of Sargeras, and there was no expression on her pretty face.

Kalia nodded subconsciously, and then realized, "You cut off the communication between me and Tichondrius?"

"Mind banning, a simple spell, of course the effect is only temporary." Miss Sara replied.

Kalia became excited in an instant, and only after losing her freedom would she know its preciousness. "Can you permanently sever this connection?" She asked eagerly, already using her honorific title.

"There is a solution, but why should I do that?" Miss Sarah remained calm.

Kalia began to tremble all over. When a person suddenly sees hope in despair, he will never let go, so she no longer cares about the identity of this "Miss Sara", she just hopes Get rid of Tichondrius's control as soon as possible, even if the price is to sell his soul again.

At this moment, Valeera suddenly spoke. She looked at Miss Sara, "What's so special about that scepter?"

"It has no special use other than being able to effectively break the space barrier. It can barely reach the legendary quality, and it doesn't need soul binding, which is a bit of a novelty." Miss Sara said lightly, as if it was just a stick of fire.

Break the space barrier?Valeera keenly discovered something. She came back from the front line of Quel'Thalas, so she knew what the current war was like. The purpose of the Burning Legion was to summon the polluter Archimonde to Azeroth. The coalition forces are desperately trying to delay the process.From this point of view, the efficacy of the Scepter of Sargeras is very important, and there is no doubt that it can greatly speed up the arrival of Archimonde.

In other words, the Burning Legion is bound to win it, and they will obviously not let Kalia go.Valeera's blue eyes began to sparkle. After getting along with Isaacs for a long time, she also got used to using his way of thinking to look at problems. Make a game.

"Help Her Highness Kalia get rid of the control of that dread demon king." She said to Miss Sara.

Miss Sara looked at her, "Are you... ordering me?" She asked in a confused tone, which seemed unbelievable.

"Don't forget that we should have found a good titan ruin to bury you for thousands of years, Xal'atath." Valeera warned, and at the same time called Miss Sara's full name, this eccentric character The Ancient Artifact is no longer satisfied with imitating Natalie's voice, it has directly become the appearance of its nominal owner, as the existence of claiming to be the fifth ancient god of Azeroth, the almost endless life allows her to have With her extremely rich knowledge, she clearly has the ability to counter Tichondrius.

"This is really kind!" Sartaras sarcastically said, seeming to ignore this kind of kindness at all, but suddenly changed the subject, "But it seems to be a very interesting thing to play with those ugly demons, based on I don’t mind making a move on that.”

Kalia was excited, her nightmare day was finally over, and a hot tear began to roll in her eyes.

"Then what method are you going to use?" Valeera asked.

"The soul is the core of all non-energy creatures. Strictly speaking, it is a collection of consciousness and soul matter. Dividing the soul is a simple but very easy-to-use control method." Sartaras said He said unhurriedly: "However, the soul does not cause huge damage after being divided like the limbs. The loss of the soul will only affect the strength of the mind. Only the loss of a large amount of soul matter will affect the stability of consciousness. The soul division control law The essence is to exert influence on the subject's consciousness through the part of the soul that has been severed."

Valeera wasn't interested in this kind of fundamental knowledge at all, otherwise she wouldn't have chosen to become a stalker. "Get to the point," she said.

However, both Kalia and Natalie are in a state of listening attentively, and Xalatas seems to like this sense of popular science, "Splitting the soul will inevitably affect the subject, but the dreaded demon king doesn't seem to want to It affects the strength of this little girl, so while dividing her soul, it also supplements it with some high-level devil's soul quality, so she will become like this now."

"What exactly are you going to do?" Valeera asked again, with a hint of anger in her tone.

"Naturally, it is impossible for me to directly take the soul held by the dreaded demon king, but the quality of the soul itself is irrelevant. The problem to be solved is how to prevent Kalia's main consciousness from being affected, so her soul must be divided again. , and this split would involve consciousness itself."

"Split again?" Valeera repeated in a low voice, which sounds like a very dangerous and unreliable approach.

"Yes, consciousness and soul are essentially two concepts. Consciousness is the core of the soul. It contains the unique characteristics of biological individuals such as memory and personality. Separating consciousness will cause a situation similar to split personality, but only in this way can we Let Kalia not be completely controlled, retain a part of the consciousness of freedom, and regain control of the body when the fear demon king falls into weakness."

"So she still has to use her own consciousness to fight against the consciousness controlled by Tichondrius in the end? Only in this way can she regain her freedom?" Valeera understood, and she couldn't help frowning. She thought that this ancient god was really supernatural. In the end, it turned out that it only gave a solution that was not a solution.

"Please let me accept the split of consciousness." Kalia said suddenly, and the eldest princess showed a firm light. She thought she was in a desperate situation, but now she found hope. Even if this hope is slim, she still has to hold on Hold on tight.

"I must first remind you that splitting consciousness is a very painful act, and in order to prevent being noticed by the dread demon king, the free consciousness you split must be weaker than the part of consciousness that is about to be controlled, which means that you You will definitely be at a disadvantage when you fight against it." Xalatas said slowly, she seemed to appreciate Kalia's change of expression from cloudy to extremely determined.

Kalia took a deep breath, her eyes became firmer, she was no longer that confused girl, she wanted to control her own destiny. "I have only one choice, isn't it?" She smiled slightly, and then looked at Valeera, "If I don't finally regain control of my body, then please come and give me relief, by the way, I don't want Isaacs saw my dead body."

The girl's desolate and determined gaze, combined with the evil and half-demon appearance, looks very poignant.

Valeera nodded slowly, and the female elf's complexion also became serious, "Is it the ritual to split consciousness now? Do you need any magic materials?" she asked Xalatas.

"Don't worry, the effect of mind banning will still take some time, and this poor little girl also needs to rest for a while." Xalatas replied leisurely: "As for the so-called magic materials, do you think the great Xalatas will Do you need help from outsiders?"

Obviously, this downcast ancient god still had some kind of arrogance. Valeera ignored it directly. She asked Natalie to take Kalia to the second floor to rest, and she looked at the blue-black Sargeras. scepter.

She had to make a highly similar fake, she thought, so she asked Nolan, the great artifact master, to make it. This master made a lot of money by cooperating with Blizzard before, but he inevitably left a lot of tricks. And Isaacs, who was only a teenager at the time, recorded these handles one by one out of some dark psychology, and now it is obviously time for these handles to play a role. Presumably the great artifact master will definitely recognize it when imitating the Sargeras scepter. This piece of loot that has already thrown Dalaran into a stormy state can't come out.

As for the degree of similarity, of course it’s not just about being able to emit light. The imitation has to possess some of the characteristics of the Scepter of Sargeras in order to be misleading, and there is another point that must be paid attention to, that is, it must be made into the original crimson red.
