Azeroth: Starting with Eagle Eye in the Necropolis.

"My skin is still very smooth!"

Rhodes laughed as he pulled Vashj into the room and closed the door, saying, "Let me see how slippery you are."

Chapter 330 Violet Night, Courtly Intrigue

Inside the room, the magical light source provided by the Well of Eternity emitted a soft glow, but Vashj snapped her fingers, and several main light sources quietly went out, leaving only the cool moonlight mixed with the blue halo of the Well of Eternity shining in from the balcony, casting an ambiguous veil over the room.

Looking at the stunningly beautiful, slender, and alluring night elf head maid before him, Rhodes' lips curled into a meaningful smile.

Now Rhodes finally understands why Illidan's smile was so strange when he first met Vashj. After searching for so long, the reason is here.

I thought Vashj was chasing Illidan, but it turns out it was me. However, due to certain events, or the influence of a powerful being, Vashj's memories, especially his memories of himself, have been erased. I wonder if they can be restored when I go back.

One thing Rhodes was quite curious about was who this mysterious being was who erased everyone's memories, leaving only the memories of Illidan, Tyrande, Malfurion, and the demigods Cenarius and others.

Ordinary Titan Guardians shouldn't have this kind of strength! It seems that things weren't as easy as I thought 1 years ago.

When Rhodes pulled her into his arms, Vashj was not alarmed; instead, she let out a soft hum with a hint of amusement.

“Lord Rhodes is quite impatient. I don’t understand why you rejected the Queen just now. The Queen is much prettier than me, isn’t she?” Vashj turned around and asked.

Of all the maids, she considered herself the most beautiful, but compared to the Light of Light, she was clearly still lacking. It was rather strange that he had rejected the Queen but came to her instead. Could it be that he was genuinely afraid of the dark? That excuse was too lame.

Rhodes did not answer, but simply ran his fingers lightly over her exposed arm. Sure enough, under the moonlight, the night elf's pale purple skin seemed to glow, and to the touch it was cool and smooth, like the finest silk, with the elasticity unique to the elves.

It must be said that the maids among the Night Elf princes are dressed very well, all in the style of ancient Greek priestesses, basically wearing long white dresses that reveal their legs, arms, and backs.

"Indeed... well-deserved of its reputation." Rhodes murmured in admiration, the wonderful touch from his fingertips lingering in his memory.

He leaned close to Vashj's ear and ran his hand across her pointed ear. "Ms. Vashj, could you tell me more about Savas?"

While flirting with girls is fine, you still need to gather the necessary information.

Vashj stretched out her arms and hooked them around Rhodes' neck, pressing her body closer to him, her breath sweet as orchids: "My lord... that depends on your performance. If I'm happy, I might tell you."

The elven maids' voices were all sweet and clear, like the magical wine unique to night elves. They truly lived up to their reputation as Azshara's maids. It is said that these maids would even play some little games with the queen, but I don't know if that's true or not.

Without further hesitation, Rod picked her up and carried her to the center of the room.

Now I'll show you my true power; the Holy Light will punish you!

..........................

The moonlight, like water, filtered through the carved railings of the balcony, casting its glow upon the intertwined shadows. The long night stretched on, and whispers and soft laughter could be heard intermittently from inside the room.

Vashj's pale purple skin glowed with a dreamlike luster under the moonlight, like a mysterious violet blooming in the night, resembling a piece of purple jade.

“I know what you’re trying to find out… Archmage Xavius ​​has been rarely seen lately,” Vashj said, her voice languid afterward, as she nestled against Rhodes’ chest, her fingertips tracing his skin unconsciously.

"It is said that he is preparing for an extremely important ceremony that requires the mobilization of the immense energy of the Well of Eternity... Her Majesty the Queen has high hopes for this."

"They even mobilized a large number of High Elf mages to assist Xavius." Vashj said, turning to the side.

Rhodes' heart skipped a beat. An important ritual? Mobilizing the immense energy of the Well of Eternity? And requiring the cooperation of a large number of mages.

This could very well be the key step in opening the portal and welcoming the Burning Legion!

The initial summoning only brought over some elite units of the legion, such as the famous Haka the Dog King and Ma Pang. Speaking of which, this is the second time I have dealt with Ma Pang. If I met Ma Pang 1 years ago, why didn't Ma Pang recognize me 1 years later?

It's been over two years since I transmigrated to this world. I read the Warcraft trilogy, The War of the Ancients, by Rhodes 10 years ago, and I can't remember some of the details.

Rhodes considered adding some disguise to himself to better protect and conceal his identity.

"Oh? What kind of ceremony requires such a grand gesture?" Rhodes asked casually, his hand resting on her smooth back, making the elf look very comfortable.

Vashj raised her eyes and glanced at Rhodes, "That's not something I can know, Lord Rhodes."

The affairs of Archmage Savas have always been kept secret. However… I overheard the Queen mention it; it seems it was to… welcome a supreme 'messenger'.”

Messenger! Rhodes was almost certain that this referred to the vanguard of the Burning Legion.

“The supreme messenger… It seems that Her Majesty the Queen and Archmage Savas are plotting something that could change the fate of the Empire,” Rhodes said.

“Who says otherwise?” Vashj sighed softly, her tone somewhat complicated. Many things had happened in the palace recently, and Her Majesty the Queen had been preparing to welcome distinguished guests, who were none other than the messengers of that god.

“I just hope that this change… is for the better. By the way, Lord Rhodes, you seem to know a lot about that Lord Sargeras. What kind of god is he? Is he benevolent? Does he really possess infinite power?” Vasch asked.

"He does indeed possess immense power, making him arguably the strongest in the real universe. He is the first warrior of the Pantheon, the most powerful force in the universe, and the founder of the Burning Legion."

He once wielded a sharp blade and cleaved a planet in two with a single strike; you could say he destroyed Azeroth with a single blow.” Rhodes described Sargeras’s terror to Vashj.

“It seems he truly possesses unimaginable power. Her Majesty is right, he is indeed a god,” Vashj said.

Rhodes smiled upon hearing this, but did not reveal any further information about Sargeras. The Highborne were already rotten to the core, and the Burning Legion's invasion was inevitable, so the Well of Eternity had to be destroyed. Therefore, Rhodes would not stop it.

The two chatted for a while longer before falling into a deep sleep. As dawn broke, Vaschi got up and left.

After tidying herself up and adjusting her maid's uniform, Vashj went to the top floor of the palace, where Queen Aisara was sitting in the upper pavilion, drinking a glass of wine.

Queen Azshara revealed a sly smile upon seeing her personal maid appear.

"Looks like you succeeded, Vaski. I thought he was so amazing! He actually dared to reject me. It seems your charm is even greater than mine."

Upon hearing this, Vashj immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I believe he is not ignoring your beauty, but rather is completely captivated by you."

When I spoke with him, I could feel how much he longed for you. The reason he rejected you was because he was afraid of Sargeras, afraid of the great god.

Although he was an interstellar traveler, he still didn't have the courage to become a rival for the affections of a god.

"Heh, I thought he'd be pretty brave! I'm not scared at all, but he is," Azshara said with a sneer.

Queen Azshara regained some confidence at this point, realizing that it wasn't that she lacked charm, but rather that someone else was too cowardly.

"After all, you are the light of light, the great Queen, while she is just an ordinary astral traveler."

“He’s anything but ordinary. Back in the bathhouse, I originally planned to kill him, or imprison him, and then obtain his knowledge and power. But my sixth sense told me that if I did that, I would be the one who dies.” Azshara stood up and said with a solemn expression.

“How can he be compared to the Light of Light?” Vasch said hastily.

"Heh, what else did he ask you about?" Azshara asked.

"He also inquired about the mage Savis, and seemed to be very interested in the matter."

“I understand, Vashj. Your task from now on is to take good care of this astral traveler and report to me daily on your interactions with him,” Azshara said.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Around noon the next day, Rod stretched and woke up from his bed. There was a knock on the door, and Vasch pushed in a table full of carefully prepared pastries and fruit.

"You're up really late, Lord Rhodes. Your breakfast, or rather, lunch, is here."

"Last night was exhausting. I chatted with your Queen all night and admired you, who are as beautiful as violets. It's normal for me to sleep until now. You, on the other hand, got up quite early." Indeed, there's no such thing as a field ruined by plowing, only an ox that dies from exhaustion! Look how well she's recovered.

“Getting up early to work is something every maid should do,” Vaschi smiled and placed lunch on the table.

"Hurry up and eat, Lord Rhodes. Her Majesty the Queen may not be able to see you today, but you can take a walk outside and learn about the customs and culture of the Night Elves."

“That’s wonderful. I’m also very curious about the Night Elf Empire,” Rhodes said with a smile.

In the days that followed, Rhodes led a seemingly routine life in Azshara's court.

Every morning, he would be summoned to Azshara's private study or terrace to tell the Light of Light about the customs and culture of the other world.

From Earth's technological wonders to even stories from science fiction, Rhodes skillfully sifted through the information to tell the Queen stories.

It tells the story of skyscrapers and information networks, and depicts the concept of interstellar travel, satisfying Azshara's curiosity without revealing too many core secrets.

Chapter 331 High Elf Mages, The Well of Eternity

Rhodes led a seemingly regular and comfortable life in Azshara's court. He was allowed to move freely in certain areas of the royal city, always accompanied by Vashj or a maid she had arranged.

Nominally a guide, but in reality a surveillance agent, Rhodes knew this perfectly well, but he didn't point it out. In any case, he didn't need to do anything at this stage; he could just let everything unfold as history would.

Queen Azshara listened with great interest to Rhodes's story, and was filled with longing for that fantastical science fiction world.

How could he not enjoy it? Rhodes had specifically chosen some classic novels to read.

Rhodes didn't go to tell Queen Azshara these things every day. Occasionally, he would do other things, such as learning about the legal system of ancient Azeroth.

During the Night Elf Empire, the spell system had reached its peak, with top-tier archmages everywhere, and the level of magic was incomparable to anything in the future.

With Queen Azshara's tacit approval, Rhodes began to frequently visit the "Starry Sky Hall" in the Royal Mage Quarter, a circular building constructed of suspended arcane crystals, where countless fine magical dust particles slowly rotated on the dome, simulating the movement of the starry sky.

Rhodes was received by a High Elf mage, who guided him as he began to read the magic books there.

To be honest, after arriving in the world of Azeroth, Rhode did not systematically study the magical theories of Azeroth, because when he cast spells, he did not need to connect with the magic network of Azeroth at all. When learning spells, he only needed to take out his spellbook and copy it, or directly use Eagle Eye to steal the spell.

However, while this learning method is indeed very effective in the early stages, it becomes problematic in the later stages for improving one's actual abilities.

Just like Holy Light spells, Rhodes could use his imagination to create all sorts of amazing Holy Light spells. But with Arcane magic, Rhodes only relied on Medivh's legacy and some spells he obtained from the Blood Elves and Dalaran. These spells were already a system of their own, and when cast, they were not as free and unrestrained as Holy Light, which could extend around him.

The situation was completely different 1 years ago. Because of the existence of the Well of Eternity, the magical elements here were very abundant. With his powerful mental strength and magic, Rhode could draw on these free-floating magical energies to create new spells.

The ancient magical tomes of the Night Elf Empire also gave Rhodes new inspiration, further enhancing his magical foundation. In just one month, Rhodes learned a large number of spells from the world of Azeroth and expanded his own spells.

The night elf mages were also very curious about the Holy Light power that Rhodes possessed. However, after studying it, most of these mages gave up the Holy Light power. Holy Light and Arcane are not in the same system. To learn Holy Light would be like asking them to change their class to Druid or follow the path of the Shadow Assassin.

However, Rhodes can also communicate with these night elf mages using other magic, namely Heroes of Might and Magic magic.

Magic Arrow, Holy Spirit's Protection, Stone Skin, Divine Shield, Curse Possession, Attack Speed... Just by using a few level 1 spells, the night elf mages were completely captivated.

The reason is simple. First, the attack-type magic arrow has extremely low energy consumption, and its power increases with your own strength. Moreover, it has a wide attack range and sufficient destructive power. Most importantly, it does not require changing the system, so it has attracted a large number of mages to watch and learn it.

As for the other additional defensive buff spells, these mages were also very interested, because Rhodes' magic could be cast on thousands or even tens of thousands of people, making it a type of group magic.

"Your Excellency, please explain the principle behind this magic."

"Mr. Rhodes, how exactly do you execute the attack acceleration?"

"Mr. Rhodes, is this Holy Spirit Magic similar to Holy Light spells?" The Highborne mages surrounded Rhodes, bombarding him with questions. Compared to the power of Holy Light, they were more interested in the Heroes of Might and Magic magic that Rhodes had cast.

Rhodes, already prepared, cleared his throat as he watched the high elf mages gather around him. Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, he began his explanation:

"Ladies and gentlemen, please first understand a concept—the 'universal resonance' of magical energy."

Rhodes raised his hand and drew a simple rune in the air, with a wisp of arcane energy flowing within it.

“Traditional arcane spells require precise construction of spell models, like building an intricate structure with blocks. But the spells I’ve brought are more like…” Rhodes began to explain some of the principles of magic in the Heroes of Might and Magic world.

In the world of Heroes of Might and Magic, learning magic from Rhodes requires no special conditions; all you need is a magic book.

At first, Rhodes was unable to teach these spells to others. It wasn't until he gained the ability to learn that he could teach each other hero magic. Later, Rhodes summoned Sandro, the top mage in the Heroes of Might and Magic world, whose mastery of Heroes of Might and Magic magic was naturally beyond question.

Afterwards, Anveena, the avatar of the Sunwell, rose to prominence and further helped Rhodes perfect the theoretical knowledge of magic in Heroes of Might and Magic, allowing Rhodes to spread level 1 and level 2 magic. Summoning Holy Light Elementals is theoretically a Holy Light spell, but it is not entirely out of the question that it cannot be classified as a mage.
