Warcraft novel series

The night never looks forward to the arrival of dawn, and what is seen in the thick fog is an inaccessible future. The melancholy and gloomy castle breeds a group of forgotten people who refuse the dawn. There is a light step approaching in this dark city. Xavier, the once forgotten man who now has a new and energetic body with the help of the World Tree, appears in the Undercity where he should no longer appear.

The crisp and brisk pace occasionally attracts the attention of the busy Forsaken. In this world of kings, the appearance of a brisk human being is an absolutely abnormal phenomenon. The Forsaken reject the living, and even if their relationship with the Alliance has been greatly eased, they will not allow other Alliance races to enter their camps.

But Xavier obviously will not be attacked by hatred. This is not because of his noble status and the contributions he has made to the Undercity. All this is just because he is a distinguished guest of the Queen. The Dark Queen Sylvanas invited Xavier to this underground city. The quiet sewers are still flowing with viscous green liquid, which is the waste left behind by the continuous synthesis experiments in the alchemy laboratory. The ancient sculptures are actually gargoyles whose souls have been extracted and used as decorations. Even death cannot change Silva. Nas was committed to pursuing the perfect, artistic and gorgeous style of Silvermoon City during her lifetime. Even if he can only live in a dark and humid underground city, he will try his best to make it perfect

"You have come, great prophet."That was the voice of Sylvanas. In the room covered with red carpets with complex arcane patterns, the hollow screen sculptures, and the faint fragrance exuded by the noble black lotus, they all formed a different style from the gloomy tones of this Undercity. A sharp contrast.

Standing next to Sylvanas at this moment is Nathanos the Wither. This Forgotten general in red armor has now regained the queen's trust. But times have changed, and now Xavier can only Visited here as a guest

"Yes, here I come, the great Queen of Darkness."Looking at the strangeness brought about by the passage of time, Xavier's face was full of loneliness,"This used to be my home, but I didn't expect that now I would come back as a guest."This is indeed Xavier's home. During his lifetime, Xavier lived on a horse farm not far from Lordaeron, but he often ran around and played in the above-ground city of Lordaeron with the kind-hearted prince Arthas at the time. Becoming the Forgotten , he assisted Queen Sylvanas to retake it. It took three years to make this abandoned city habitable again and become the base camp of the Forgotten. But now Xavier is back, but he has a strange identity , the atmosphere here already made him feel unfamiliar

"You are welcome to come back here at any time, and you will always be the Xavier of the Undercity."The one who spoke was Nathanos. He was holding a red giant sword and his words were sincere. It could be seen that he was speaking from the heart. Xavier had no reason not to believe his comrades who had formed friendships in the battle. He tried his best to squeeze out his words. He smiled and said,"Thank you, I will."Although the relationship between Xavier and Nathanos is still the same, it cannot change Sylvanas's attitude.

The Dark Queen began to speak in a gloomy voice,"You used to be the awakened one who helped me get rid of Arthas' control."Sylvanas began his speech, and everyone in this resentful space greeted his speech with a quiet attitude.

"At that time, you were the forgotten person who awakened before me, although there was no such title at that time. Then you helped me kill the demon Deserok who occupied this place, and made his brother Varimathras submit to my rule. It can be said that you are the cornerstone of the establishment of the Undercity." Speaking of this, Sylvanas' eyes never left Xavier for a moment. He seemed to be looking for something in the eyes of this prophet-like guy, but he was disappointed. There was no trace of doubt in his clarifying eyes. He continued to wait. Sylvanas continued.

Sylvanas, who couldn't see the answer she wanted, could only continue,"Then you suddenly lost your power, but this does not prevent you from assisting me in letting Undercity join the Horde. Then you took the pledge meeting to join the tribe and announced that you would eliminate the natural disasters in the Plague Land. And you did it. With the help of the Silver Dawn, you accomplished your goal. From now on, there is no undead in the Eastern Kingdom."

Sylvanas paused, and his eyes glanced at Nathanos intentionally or unintentionally. This obviously had a lot to do with the Forsaken General. Of course, it was more of suspicion and rejection. Nathanos Trying to avoid Sylvanas' eyes as much as possible, he didn't want to show any dissatisfaction in front of this suspicious queen, even though her Majesty once listened to the slander and suffered a lot in the prison of the Undercity.

For Sylvanas like this Xavier responded with a shallow smile,"That's what I should do. As a subordinate of the Queen, I have the obligation to complete everything for the Queen."""Anything?" Sylvanas showed a playful smile and heard him continue,"Then you and I will go on an expedition to Northrend. After experiencing the rebellion in the Undercity, we will regroup and return to Northrend. Then the historical mission of conquering Icecrown Citadel and killing Alsace was completed. I remember you personally killed Alsace at that time, right?"

Sylvanas's words brought back Xavier's unbearable memories. The promised rescue turned into a ruthless fight. When the cold sword penetrated Arthas' body, he watched his former friend fall to the ground. Xavier never wanted to mention that kind of sting when he was in front of him, but Sylvanas brought him up again. Although he didn't know what the purpose was, he did it after all.

Looking back Xavier, who tried his best to control his emotions and not let excessive sensibility affect his judgment, took a long breath and said,"That's what I should do. From that moment on, the Forgotten are truly free. Yes, right, Her Majesty the Queen. Xavier's words seemed perfunctory to cover up the sting in his heart.

Fortunately, Sylvanas did not continue to ask further. He continued to narrate in a different way,"Yes, Three quiet years followed. The emergence of Deathwing caused mutations in the humans of Kyrgyzstan, and the werewolves there posed a new threat to us. So I decided to do a crusade there. You are my vanguard."Sylvanas couldn't help but pause for a moment. It was his most shameful moment and he didn't want to mention it, but he still said,"Due to my mistake, Arugal betrayed us. In my assassination, I should have thought of human stubbornness. It was you and Nathanos who saved me and killed Arugal for me."

Sylvanas has no choice but to go to Tiva'kyr. After all, it is a product left by the Lich King and cannot be used blatantly. Especially after being reprimanded by the new chief Hellscream, Sylvanas had to Curb your ambitions.

Speaking of Shadowfang Castle, it was Xavier's unbearable memory. He was captured by Arugal and instilled with dark magic in the ritual of dark magic. This was the first time he encountered Ragnaros. His true nature was fully exposed. It was a mysterious ancient power that inspired the seal of the ancient god's host in his body. In the end, Xavier completely darkened and became a servant of the ancient god. But at that time, Raghu Naros's power was strong enough, and he completely eliminated Xavier and that power. Only in this way did Xavier regain his body as a blessing in disguise. Also nervous was Nathanos, who was guilty of letting Xavier leave privately. He was punished a lot by Sylvanas for saving his friend Voss. For this, he looked at Sylvanas nervously. But fortunately, Sylvanas' purpose was not that. He obviously There is a more important purpose.

After a moment of silence, he finally put his real intention on the table,"Land of Fire, your body was destroyed, and the human mage Ivina recast your body. Waited in front of the wreckage for five years. So he won your heart right?"Looking at Sylvanas' gloomy and slightly jealous eyes, Xavier did not refuse. He nodded and said,"Yes, I admit that he was the moment that changed my destiny. Maybe from that moment on, I It's already drifting away from you."

Sylvanas did not refute Xavier. He nodded and said,"Yes, a human being cannot get the respect he deserves in the world of the Forsaken anyway, even if he was once a hero here. This is the fault of the Forsaken, and it’s what I want to change."Seeing Sylvanas having such thoughts, Nathanos let out a sigh of relief. This is the direction he has been committed to. Of course, it is also a personal purpose. He also hopes to be with his human friend. , Thassarian, who has now joined the Knights of the Ebon Blade, met again. But he obviously did not see a trace of cunning in Sylvanas's eyes.

"Yes, I am a free man now, but I still like living in Deathstroke Town, where it feels like home."Xiavel still couldn't bear to leave the town of Deathstroke where he had been working, the honest deputy mayor, and the secretary who lost his sister at a young age.

Sylvanas clearly saw Xavier's thoughts and only heard him say,"There It already belongs to you and you are welcome to come back at any time."Sylvanas's words made Xavier feel warm, but the Queen of Darkness's sudden topic made Xavier fall into the bottom.

Just listen to him say,"You should meet that person during the next twilight trip, right?. Xavier couldn't help but be startled when he heard Sylvanas mention that person, but he instantly thought of the time when he crossed the sea of ​​time and came to Wyrmrest Temple to meet his teacher, Kadson, who was controlled by C'Thun. moment."How did you know!"Xavier was obviously a little emotional, as if his secret had been revealed.With a little panic, Zi tried to hide the secret that was so obvious.

But obviously Sylvanas had no reason to let Xavier go and just listened to him continue,"The dark form of me has an inexplicable connection with the real me. Although I don't know how that me got mixed up with the Twilight cultists, but I have fully accepted the memories of that time."

Thinking of the time when Ivina and I were tested by Nozdormu in the lair of time, and when Ivina killed the darkened Sylvanas, He is indeed with the Twilight cultists. At that time, Xavier thought it was just an illusion, but now it seems that there is a hint of reality there.

Knowing that it was time to explain, Xavier did not choose to escape. He tried hard to keep his tone calm and said,"Yes, that's right. I saw that person and killed him with my own hands. As a puppet, my teacher saw the ancient god C'Thun who cannot be named."

Then Xavier tried hard to keep himself calm and said word by word,"Sylvanas, Her Majesty the Queen , can you still believe me?" At this moment, not only Xavier was a little nervous, but Nathanos was also in an unprecedented state of tension. He didn't know what he should do to get rid of Xavier if Sylvanas refused to compromise. kind of decision.

But his worries were obviously unnecessary. Sylvanas responded to Xavier with a playful smile,"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. You are representing yourself now, just like Medivh once. Although He led the orcs to invade the human world, but when he got rid of the control of the fallen titan Sargeras, he also led humans to defeat the orcs and ushered in peace for Azeroth." Mentioning Medivh,

Xavier's He obviously had more feelings than others. It was because he personally accepted Medivh's guidance that he got to where he is today. Maybe the prophet who is now missing has already seen everything before giving him such a prophecy. He recalled that when he was still a human, he met Medivh on the expedition with Alsace, who was gradually going crazy. At that time, he felt that this human mage would meet him sooner or later. Later in Southsea Town, he needed prophecies for his future. Later, he met the fake Medivh in Northrend. It seemed that this prophet had the ability to see everything.

Xavier, who was trapped in memories, returned to reality for a long time. He should be grateful to Sylvanas for not interrupting his memories. For this reason, he continued,"No matter what happens in the future, I will always be Xavier, the warrior of the Undercity." Xavier." Xavier changed the topic and said,"If I truly degenerate and become a minion of the ancient gods, don't hesitate to grant me real death." Xavier expressed his thoughts in a plain tone. Of course, this also won the respect of Sylvanas and Nathanos, who gave Xavier a definite answer with affirmative looks.

Looking at this resentful and gorgeous underground city, Xavier couldn't help but sigh,"This is a beautiful city, but it's a pity that I can never come back."""Goodbye my Queen, I hope we can fight together again in the future. Xavier, who gradually disappeared into the darkness, might never come back again. Nathanos's eyes showed endless sadness and desolation.

Sylvanas, who turned around, had a completely different reaction,"No." People can truly escape from my control, and neither can you, Xavier."Sylvanas whispered, it will take time to reveal to us what kind of secrets this Queen shrouded in darkness still hides.
