Azeroth: Starting with Eagle Eye in the Necropolis.

"Kel'Thuzad deliberately let Arthas win; he just wanted to die at Arthas's hands."

"What's the difference? I could easily take care of any of you now, this one called Darkan. As for Kel'Thuzad, I don't think I'm inferior to him now." The female mage said confidently.

Having followed Rhodes for over a year, his strength has grown significantly, and he has also learned Titan magic. A few days ago, with Anvina's help, he even mastered lightning and advanced magic such as summoning fire elementals, making it easy for him to deal with a mere Darkan.

“Haha, you’re not wrong. Right now, he’s really just a nobody to us,” Rhodes said with a smile.

The faster his strength increases, the harder it becomes to fight monsters. Now, when Rhode kills creatures like murlocs, kobolds, and boarmen, the experience he gets is a pitiful 1.

To continue upgrading, I need to find the Burning Legion or the Scourge. Speaking of which, I have the Legion Portal spell, so should I try to set up a trap?

Find a safe place, then open the Legion portal and let the demons inside come out so you can beat them up.

This method of racking up points is indeed very fast, but it also carries certain risks, namely the possibility of summoning Kil'jaeden or other high-ranking members of the Burning Legion.

If Kil'jaeden comes, Rhodes feels that if he goes all out, he is not too afraid. He currently has a considerable number of level 7 units, and even level 8 units such as the Phoenix and the Archangel. In the future, there will also be a Demon Hunter version of the Greater Demon.

This lineup is incredibly impressive. Before leaving Outland, Rhodes had already given Illidan several Greater Demons, and Rhodes thought this method was feasible.

Opening the Legion portal won't be a permanent feature, and besides, I have Anveena by my side now. Let Anveena summon holy light to blast the demons, and then I can finish them off. It couldn't be better.

Rhodes has decided that after dealing with the dust distribution and returning to Kalimdor, he plans to find a secluded place, open a Legion portal, and have the Burning Legion contribute a bit of goodwill to him.

Rhodes beckoned, summoning Anvina over.

“Yes, Lord Rhodes!” Anvina immediately urged her chocobo to approach.

"How well have you mastered the Holy Light techniques I've taught you these past few days?" Rhodes asked.

“No problem! Look!” Anvina excitedly raised her hand, and a warm and pure golden pillar of holy light instantly condensed in her palm and shot into the sky, illuminating the entire forest in an instant.

This scene filled Fina with admiration. She had cultivated the path of the paladin for over a decade, but she still paled in comparison to Anvina's talent.

“Very good.” Rod nodded approvingly.

“Your task is to continuously and ‘unintentionally’ emit this pure and powerful energy fluctuation throughout our journey. You will pretend that you cannot control the power of the Sunwell, while the three of us will use disguise techniques to disguise ourselves as ordinary mercenary adventurers, and then wait for our prey to come to us,” Rhodes said.

“No problem, Lord Rhodes, I also want to get rid of the traitor Darkan,” Anvina nodded and said.

She also really wanted to have a real battle to see just how powerful she was now. Darkan was one of the top mages among the blood elves, so it would be a good opportunity for her to practice.

The journey that followed became Anvina's practice ground. Under Rhodes' guidance, she began to try to finely control the fluctuations of holy light and the intensity of arcane magic.

To attract Darkan, one must minimize the fluctuations of one's holy light; otherwise, seeing such intense holy light, Darkan, as a necromancer, would not dare to approach.

That's why Rhodes wanted to comfort the power controlling him and spread his arcane energy outwards. These arcane fluctuations would also emit the energy of the Sunwell, which was all too familiar to Dalki, who was once a blood elf.

The Holy Light energy will be dealt with after Darkan takes the bait.

This time, Rhodes has no intention of resurrecting Darkan after he is killed. You have no right to be resurrected here.

After several days, Rhodes and his companions finally arrived near Tarren Mill, the place where Anvina once lived.

"How nostalgic! Not long ago, I lived here freely, as a farm girl, with my parents by my side and my own farmland." Looking at the familiar place, Anvina felt a sense of loss and change.

She was still alive, but her parents had long since disappeared, or rather, her parents had never existed at all.

No, that's not right either. According to Lord Rhodes, her father should be a red dragon, since she was created by him, and her mother, strictly speaking, should be the Sunwell. Oh, that's just too bizarre.

Under Rhodes's deliberate misguidance, a certain red dragon has now been given the title of "well-playing man".

“Let’s stay at your old house tonight. Remember to keep radiating the energy fluctuations of the Solar Realm from your body,” Rhodes said with a smile.

The four of them tidied up Anvina's old house and settled in. Meanwhile, in a ruin in Tarren Mill, the four of them stayed there.

"Ah...this familiar and sweet scent...it's the Well of the Sun! So pure, so...alluring!"

It's nearby! A surge of unclaimed, powerful Sunwell energy!

"You've finally appeared. I must obtain your power." A man in a black trench coat and a top hat muttered to himself.

Although he had become an undead creature, from the outside, this blood elf mage seemed to be no different from a living person. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't even think that he was a dead person or an undead creature.

"Master, what should we do?"

Chapter 280 Fishing Darkan, a weak blue dragon, and a useless Gos

A necromancer, dressed in tattered robes with eerie blue flames flickering in his eye sockets, emerged from the shadows and respectfully inquired that he was one of the many undead servants resurrected and controlled by Darkan.

Like its master, it was transformed into the body of the dead, or what is called an immortal body.

"Of course, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It is the power of the sun itself. I discovered this power the moment I gained my freedom."

"If we can successfully obtain this power, then we will no longer have to fear the Lich King forcibly controlling us," Darkan said.

Strictly speaking, he, Sylvanas, and that guy named Scythek belong to the Forsaken.

He was an elderly high elf mage, one of the older ones in the high elf race, nearing the end of his life.

Unlike their cousins, the night elves or the night children, the high elves, who were degenerated from the high elves, had completely become mortal beings.

They no longer possess immortal lifespans and bodies; they will experience birth, aging, sickness, and death just like ordinary beings. Although this period is dozens of times longer than the lifespan of other mortals, they will still face the day of death.

The longer one lives, the more one fears death, and Darkan was no exception. So when the Lich King's army arrived, he felt that his opportunity had come. He could surrender to the Lich King and become an undead, but at least he could retain his consciousness and not die.

So he betrayed his country and his people, all for the sake of gaining immortality.

But reality slapped him hard in the face. Yes, he did indeed transform into an undead and was no longer limited by lifespan, but he also lost his freedom.

Although he still possessed self-awareness, only one thought remained in his mind: to be loyal to the Lich King and to fight for the great Lich King.

This situation persisted until a few months ago when he suddenly gained control of his body, and the Lich King's voice in his mind disappeared.

At this moment, Darka was finally free, but he was always afraid of the Lich King's revenge and that one day the Lich King would regain control of them.

However, Darkan did not choose to go to Stratholme to join Sylvanas and the Forsaken led by Sjörnk.

Because of an irreconcilable conflict between herself and the Banshee Queen, unlike her own voluntary surrender, Sylvanas was brutally murdered by Arthas and transformed into an undead.

The only outcome of me meeting Sylvanas would be death, since I wouldn't even be able to get close to her. If the leader of the Forsaken were that guy named Scythe, there might be a chance.

Unlike the original timeline, Darkan plans to acquire the power of the Sunwell, then make his body infinitely closer to that of the living, before going to Stratholme to find Scythek and join his side. With the protection of this death knight high lord, he will no longer need to worry about the Banshee Queen's revenge.

Darkan was very confident in his necromancy and other magical talents; among the high elves, he was definitely a top-tier mage.

After being transformed into an undead, he also acquired many of the lich's technologies, and if possible, he even wanted to see if he could usurp the throne and seize the empire of this death knight high lord.

As a mage, I have a lot of respect for death knights who spend all their time in melee combat; these guys are nothing more than tools of war created by mages.

Only magic reigns supreme, and the power of the Sunwell is of utmost importance. He could sense that the Sunwell had been reborn just over ten days ago.

The newly formed Sunwell contains unimaginable power, and if one can obtain the essence of the old Sunwell, one can also establish some kind of connection with the new Sunwell.

"Summon all the servants who can move; we are going to 'receive' this precious gift, for the energy of the Sunwell is of utmost importance."

However, let's be cautious. First, send a few ghosts to scout around and see if there are any traps or... guardians around this energy." Darkan calmed down, a cunning glint in his eyes.

The appearance of the essence of the Sunwell at this time must be problematic; it could very well be a trap. But even if it is a trap, he cannot resist the allure of this power.

The key is to determine who set the trap and what their strength is. We cannot act rashly; perhaps we should find some allies.

There's a dwarven dragon-hunting team nearby, led by a group of mercenaries. Perhaps I could hide my identity and hire them to be cannon fodder.

"Yes, Master." The necromancer bowed and withdrew, his figure disappearing into the darkness.

That night, several invisible ghosts quietly went to the house where Rhodes, Jaina, and the others were resting.

Meanwhile, in the cottage in Anvina's old residence, Rhodes was closing his eyes and concentrating, his mental energy spreading out like invisible ripples.

Rhodes cast the "Earth-Seeing" spell in advance. Although it couldn't clearly display the entire map like in the game, it could still sense the flow of life and death energy within a certain range, especially the energy vortex generated when powerful necromancers like Darkan gathered.

From Rhodes' perspective, several small dots flashing red were stealthily approaching the room. Mord's lips curled into a smile; he couldn't hold back any longer.

“Dalkan has found out,” Rhodes said suddenly, opening his eyes to the other three people in the room.

“Just as we expected, this mage is very cautious and is sending scouts over, apparently to test our strength,” Jaina said, looking up.

“Great Son of the Holy Light, I will deal with them immediately at your command,” said Fina, who was sitting to the side, as she planted her anti-magic weapon in the ground.

Ever since acquiring this powerful anti-magic weapon and the anti-magic armor, she had been looking for an opponent to test her skills, and this necromancer was a good choice.

“Stop fooling around, Sister Fina. We had an agreement. This guy named Darkan is my prey,” Anvina said with a smile.

"Do whatever you want! I'm not really interested in this guy. I'm going upstairs to sleep." Jaina shrugged helplessly and went upstairs.

This blood elf necromancer named Darkan had no idea that he was facing one of the top adventure teams in all of Azeroth.

"Haha, that old guy Darkan is very cautious. We shouldn't give anything away. Everyone should just pretend to be ordinary adventurers."

"Anvina, especially you, absolutely do not reveal your holy light power, lest you frighten people. I will disguise myself as an ordinary warrior, and Fenna, you just play the role of a true paladin," Rhodes instructed.

Among the four, the paladin Finna is the weakest. However, even so, with the addition of new weapons and new armor, her strength can still rank among the top 20 in the Silver Hand.

"Rest assured, great Son of Light."

"Okay! Nobody is allowed to give anything away." Rod nodded in satisfaction, then casually found a spot and lay down.

Before long, several translucent ghosts passed through the wall and silently sneaked into the hut. They circled around Anveena, sensing the alluring magical energy emanating from her, and then probed Rhodes, Jaina, and Fina.

Under Rhodes's disguise magic, the three of them looked like three mediocre human adventurers—a somewhat composed warrior (Rhodes), a young female mage (Jaina), and a devout but inexperienced female paladin (Fina). Such a group was perfectly normal for them to be active near the ruins of Lordaeron.

At this moment, Darka, through his magic, can temporarily borrow the perspective of a ghost to observe everyone in the room.

I couldn't find any flaws in Jaina or Rhodes, but the Holy Light power emanating from Fina was quite strong. This paladin was rather difficult to deal with, so I had to be extra careful when fighting her.

The ghosts circled a few times, but found no powerful energy reactions (except for Anvina's primal arcane power, which she could not completely conceal), before quietly retreating to report back to their master.

“...A girl who has just awakened and possesses amazing arcane potential seems to be some kind of remnant of the Sunwell...and three inconspicuous guardians, the strongest of whom is the female paladin, who is probably at the elite level and not worth worrying about.” Darkan analyzed the information he had just obtained.

“A girl who can’t control her own power, and three ordinary mercenary adventurers… what a perfect combination. Prepare for action. I want the girl, alive. As for those three troublesome guys… get rid of them,” Darkan said.

"Yes, my great master, shall we go now?"

“No, no, no! Now is not the time. I need to hire that dwarf's dragon-hunting team,” Dahl said.

It's best to be cautious.

That night passed uneventfully. The next morning, Darkan disguised himself as an ordinary human nobleman and met with the dwarven adventure team at a tavern near Tarren Mill.

Then, a tracking task was issued to the other party, along with a statement that information about a dragon would be provided.

That same day, a blue dragon flew over Tarren Mill, and Rhodes and Jaina, who were at Na's house, also saw the dragon flying in the sky.

"The blue dragons belong to the Blue Dragonflight. Why are they here?" Jaina asked, puzzled.

“Blue dragons are the masters of magic. Perhaps the blue dragon race sensed Anveena’s energy, after all, Anveena has been releasing her arcane power like a beacon these past few days,” Rhodes said with a shrug.
