Chapter 383 Staff and Holy Covenant
Chapter 383 Staff and Holy Covenant
Yrel and Danas stopped, firstly because they heard Grezzik's shouting, and secondly because the crowmen had given up resistance and knelt on the spot, like a nest of chickens waiting to be slaughtered. This was no longer a battle but a massacre.
"No more fighting! No more fighting! The fake King of Claws is dead! I've convinced everyone!"
Grezk, in his excitement, began to speak the Common Language more fluently.
"Everyone will return to Veil Skettis and no longer serve as accomplices of the orcs!"
As he spoke, he said a few more words to the Crow People. The Crow People shouted and knelt down to Alvin and the others.
"I told them that you have been blessed by Ansu, the Crow God!"
Alvin asked, "Ask them if they saw the orcs escorting a dwarf through here? Where did the orcs take that guy?"
Grezk asked another series of questions, and several Crowmen answered a few words. According to the translation, it seemed that a fat man was captured by the orcs and taken to the Shadow Labyrinth, but he was not dead yet. Moreover, they did not know what the Shadow Labyrinth looked like. It was a dangerous place that only orcs could go to.
Alvin nodded, and it seemed that the situation was similar to before.
"Tell them to clean up any mess they made before they leave! And to behave themselves when they get home! If they dare to help the tribe again, we'll definitely destroy Crow's Nest as well!"
"Okay, okay!" Grezk hurriedly conveyed the message, and the Crow People below nodded and shouted, as if they had entered a chicken farm.
"Now, go away, leave here, return to your crow's nest, and never come back!"
Alvin shouted and made a gesture of driving away with his hands. The Crowmen understood without Grezk's translation. They jumped up and rushed out of the hall in a swarm, even faster than when they came.
"Alvin, over there, over there, there's a treasure chest, let's go check it out!"
Calpurnia looked around with wide eyes and immediately found the treasure chest behind a pillar.
"Treasure chest?" Alvin became interested when he heard it. This fake King of the Claw has occupied this place for so long, maybe he really found some Draenei artifact.
"open to take a look!"
"it is good!"
Danas had already arrived in front of the treasure chest, and the warrior opened the lid of the treasure chest with force.
A green polearm and a small red gem suddenly appeared in the treasure chest.
Danas picked up the long-handled weapon and looked at it carefully. There were two triangles made of green gems at the tip of the staff, and there was a green gem in the middle of the two triangles.
"Ok?"
Danas said curiously, "This isn't a long handle, it's actually a staff. It looks really strange! Little elf, catch it!"
Since it was a staff, Caponia was the only mage in his group who needed it, so he handed the staff to Caponia.
Sure enough, when Calpurnia took the staff, the emerald on it lit up.
"This, this weapon is even more powerful than my Sulfur Staff! It contains a huge amount of magical power! What's the writing on it?"
Calpurnia excitedly stroked the staff and found some words engraved on it.
"Terokk's Shadow Staff!"
Grezk leaned over to take a look and found that it was actually the language of the Crow People, so he quickly translated it.
"Then take it and use it," Alvin smiled and picked up the remaining ruby in the treasure chest.
"What is this? There are words on it, and they seem to be Draenei words! Yriel, come and take a look?"
Upon hearing this, Iriel took the gem, and in an instant, the red light emitted by the gem illuminated the entire hall.
"This is the Holy Covenant! It is the sacred object of the Draenei garrison commanders of all generations!" Yriel held up the Holy Covenant with trembling hands and carefully stroked the lines on it, as if establishing a connection with his deceased ancestors.
She looked at the words on the covenant and read them word by word: "The Covenant of Eternal Rest."
Yrel raised the holy covenant with one hand and recited the holy words in the Draenei language. The ground beneath Yrel's feet suddenly began to shake, and golden light emanated from the ground, followed by a golden flame.
"Quack! Get out of the way!"
The frightened Grezik quickly moved away from the land where golden flames were boiling.
"This is the Paladin's Offering! I've seen Turalyon and his men use it before. It doesn't harm their own people. Look!"
Danas stood within the range of the flames, unharmed.
Alvin asked, "What is the effect of this holy covenant?"
"It increases some of the damage of Consecration, but not much else. However, this sacred covenant is a relic of generations of vindicators and means a lot to us. I'm going to give it to Maraad when I get back!"
Paladins are the purest people in the world. They serve the Holy Light their entire lives, with no distractions in their minds, and have no desire to keep good things for themselves.
"Okay, then you can use it first and then pass it on to Maraad!" Alvin asked. "What's next? How do we get to the Shadow Labyrinth?"
"Quack! It's my turn! It should be here! I saw Aigis open the door here!"
Grezk fluttered his wings and came to the right side of the hall, fiddling with something on the stone pillar on the right. After a while, a crisp "click" sound was heard, and a secret door on the wall recessed and moved to the left, revealing another downward tunnel.
"How deep is this damn place?"
Danas stuck his head into the cave. It was pitch black with some faint light, and he couldn't see the end at all.
Suddenly realizing that he seemed to have slandered the Draenei holy land, he quickly added, "I mean, well, this holy land is really deep!"
Yrel carefully hung the holy contract on his waist, not angry at Danas's offense.
"You're right, this place is indeed haunted now. It's a hellish place! I can smell the stench of the Crow Man and the Orcs from right here!"
Alvin took over the sulfur staff that Caponia had replaced and put it on his back.
"Okay, let's keep going. We've gained a lot this time, so it wasn't a wasted trip. Let's keep going, the main course is coming next! According to what they said before, there are quite a few orcs, and there are also warlocks from the Shadow Council. I remember clearly that the last time I fought against a guy from the Shadow Council, he almost blew me to death! Everyone, be careful, I don't want to suffer that again!"
He took the torch down from the wall, nodded to everyone, and when he saw that everyone was ready, he was the first to step into the dark cave entrance.
It was another long tunnel. The entrance was very narrow at first, but fortunately it became wider as we went further, and there was wind. It seemed that the entrance was just ahead.
But the more annoying thing was that the end of the road was half submerged in water. Alvin said helplessly, "Looks like I'll have to swim across with my weapons. I hope the water ahead doesn't go over my head."
"I'll clear the way!"
Some were happy and some were sad. Just when others were still feeling depressed about having to soak in the water, Green Shadow had already turned into a cute little seal.
"Hey hey hey."
Green Shadow transformed too early. The little seal was still nearly one meter away from the water and was crawling on the ground with difficulty, looking very cute.
"Um, Alvin, help me..."
Alvin suppressed his laughter, picked up the baby seal, and moved it above the water.
"Pfft!"
The little seal jumped into the water.
"Wait for me!"
After saying this, he disappeared under the water, causing ripples in the water, which soon became calm.
"This is my first time seeing a night elf. Druids are truly amazing!"
Danas sat down by the water and turned to ask, "How did you two meet?"
Elvin said: "Solanlian and I were caught by the trolls and thrown into the pot to be boiled, and then we met the green shadow who was also boiled in the pot..."
"...What a magical encounter! I think the scene must have been very exciting..." Danas smiled. "What about you? Little elf, how did you get to know Alvin?"
Calpurnia raised her head, puffed up her pretty little nose, and said proudly, "When Alvin was nearly killed by a forest troll, I saved his life by killing the troll with a fireball!"
"Roar, are you that awesome? Our strongest Miracle Dragon Rider Priest was saved by you?"
"Yes! If you don't believe me, ask him! But the next second, I was knocked unconscious by the troll, and Alvin turned back to save me."
As Calpurnia was speaking, the water surface suddenly shook violently, and a cute seal head popped out of the water.
"The water isn't deep. There's air ahead that's not submerged. There's a sluice gate at the end, and there's a road outside. This should be the Shadow Maze!"
