Chapter 675 Roy and Illidan’s Meeting
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Malfurion’s prediction was correct. In the following war, Azshara began to send assassins loyal to the queen to assassinate the leaders of the Kaldorei Resistance, such as Ravencrest, on the battlefield!
In the end, Ravencrest fell under the sharp blade of Azshara’s assassin. The assassin’s poisoned dagger pierced through Ravencrest’s throat from behind, causing this great night elf lord to die in the hands of his own people…
After Ravencrest’s death, the situation of the Kaldorei Resistance naturally became more and more difficult…
Not only did the Resistance have to fight against the demons, but they also had to guard against the betrayal of their own people. The Resistance was really stretched thin. Malfurion had expected these difficulties, so when he learned that Tyrande was only imprisoned for the time being and not in life-threatening danger, he didn’t agree with Illidan’s rescue plan. In Malfurion’s opinion, it was good for his lover to stay like this for the time being. At least she wouldn’t be in danger on the battlefield.
Illidan didn’t understand Malfurion’s thoughts, so he could only leave angrily again. This time, he directly left the night elves because he realized that he might need to find another way to solve the crisis.
Moreover, he had actually already had the thought of leaving. This thought had been planted when he saw Tyrande fall into Malfurion’s arms…
Following this incident, Illidan left and embarked on his journey to Zin-Azshari alone.
Perhaps everyone thought that Illidan’s departure was out of anger. But in fact, he knew that his mind was unprecedentedly calm. During the war with the demons of the Burning Legion, he had been observing the demons, and he had actually seen familiar demon faces on the battlefield more than once. These faces were clearly demons that had been killed in previous battles, but they had resurrected and appeared again.
Illidan knew that if he couldn’t figure out why this was happening, they would never find a way to truly defeat the Burning Legion…
After passing through many battle lines and avoiding many demons with difficulty, Illidan arrived in Zin-Azshari. Then he naturally saw someone, Xavius, an adviser under Queen Azshara.
In fact, at this moment, Xavius had been transformed into a true demon. Moreover, he was a new form of demon, a satyr demon! This was Sargeras’s reward for his loyalty to him. After obtaining greater power as he had wished, Xavius was loyal to the Burning Legion. Previously, he had personally led the troops to capture Tyrande. After capturing Tyrande, out of curiosity about this priestess of the moon, Xavius quickly figured out her identity through various intelligence sources. He even knew about the emotional entanglements between Tyrande, Malfurion, and Illidan. This was not a secret among the night elves.
When he received a report from a scout that a night elf mage named Illidan had been intercepted outside Zin-Azshari, Xavius immediately became interested and personally went to see him.
Because of his scout telling him about Illidan’s bravery, Xavius spared no effort in winning him over in their conversation. He even bewitched Illidan, trying to make him believe that as long as his brother, Malfurion, died, he would be able to obtain Tyrande’s love.
This method wasn’t considered clumsy, and it could only be said to be making the best use of the situation. But Xavius had clearly underestimated Illidan. Illidan’s actions might be extreme, but he had never thought of harming anyone, let alone that Malfurion was his brother. Although he had lost in the love competition with Malfurion, he had never hated him, nor would he be easily bewitched by Xavius’s words.
Illidan truly loved Tyrande deeply. This love was so great that he forgot himself and was selfless to the extreme. He would never allow Tyrande to be harmed in any way, so Xavius’s bewitchment was destined to be futile.
But Illidan had come to Zin-Azshari with a purpose, so he pretended to be bewitched by Xavius and expressed his intention to join the Burning Legion.
Xavius had no doubts about this. In his opinion, the Burning Legion was so powerful that a mere night civilian felt despair after seeing this power and wanted to join them to protect himself. This was not difficult to understand, so he accepted Illidan and brought him into the city of Zin-Azshari.
Illidan successfully sneaked into Zin-Azshari, but before he could think of a way to find out where Tyrande was imprisoned, Xavius brought him to… Roy!
The matter of Illidan wanting to join the Burning Legion was naturally not something that Xavius could make the decision on. The only one who could make the decision was Lord Osiris, the Legion commander who was currently in the city.
This was the first meeting between Roy and Illidian…
When Roy saw Illidan, he was clearly stunned for a while. During this period of time, he was actually on vacation. It had to be said that the extravagance of the Highborne, represented by Azshara, even made him speechless. A group of greedy and power-hungry aristocrats tried to please him every day. In addition to the daily grand banquets, they even sent their wives and daughters to Roy. The hearts of these crazy women, hidden under their gorgeous appearances, were actually yearning for the seed of Roy, a powerful demon, hoping to obtain higher status in the Burning Legion by giving birth to a hybrid descendant of Highborne and demon.
As a result, Roy spent every day at orgies…
Roy didn’t care about this. Since they dared to give themselves to him, he would dare to accept them. If these women could really get pregnant with his descendants, he would be overjoyed. The stronger the creature, the lower the probability of conceiving offspring. Julia and Benia had been working hard on this for many years.
Even so, the flattery of the Highborne made Roy feel a little overwhelmed. As a demon, when he traveled the various worlds, he saw most people being afraid of demons. This was the first time he had seen people serving him without any bottom line like the Highborne, so it was normal for him to feel a little unaccustomed.
It was rare for Roy to live a life of decadence and depravity, so he couldn’t react when he saw Illidan. Then he remembered what Illidan’s appearance meant.
Kneeling on one knee on the floor, Illidan lowered his head and didn’t dare to look at Roy, who was sitting above. Although he had heard Krasus and the others mention the name Osiris, he finally understood why everyone was so afraid of this demon in front of him after seeing Roy.
Although it was a power projection, Roy had a physical body at this moment. Moreover, this projection had inherited more of Roy’s physical strength than his magic power. Even so, Illidan still felt a piercing cold aura in front of Roy. In just a few seconds, he felt as though his entire body was frozen. Even without looking up, he still felt an enormous shadow looming over him and sweeping him with a cold gaze.
Different, completely different from the demons I’ve seen before! Illidan’s intuition was frantically warning him, making him not dare to do anything rash.
After a while, Illidan finally heard a deep voice. “Illidan Stormrage? You want to join the Burning Legion?”
“Y-yes, Lord Osiris!” Illidan replied carefully, not daring to look up.
“Raise your head!” Roy raised his chin and gestured to him. “I heard from Xavius that you have a pair of golden eyes. Is this a symbol of legendary destiny among you night elves?”
“Thank you for your praise, Your Lordship. If there’s a legendary destiny, it should be obtained by serving the Burning Legion…” Under the immense pressure, Illidan’s EQ rose for once, and he said something against his will, but he still lowered his head.
Roy didn’t accept this flattery at all and said coldly, “I told you to look up!”
Helpless, Illidan could only raise his head and show Roy his golden eyes. But when he looked up, he naturally saw Roy’s demon eyes. These demon eyes should have caused fear, but for some reason, Illidan saw a trace of amusement in them.
Illidan’s heart skipped a beat as he recalled Krasus’s evaluation of Roy. What’s going on? Did he see through my true intentions?!
However, before Illidan could feel uneasy, he heard Roy suddenly say something inexplicable.
“Tsk… He’s not blind. I’m really not used to it…”
Yes, Roy was used to seeing demon hunters with a piece of cloth covering their eyes in the future, so he was really not used to Illidan, who still had his eyes open. To be honest, if not for Xavius’s introduction just now, Roy wouldn’t have recognized that the night elf in front of him was actually Illidan, which was why he was stunned for a while.
Of course, Roy knew that Illidan’s surrender to the Burning Legion this time was simply a pretense. But he didn’t expect that he would become Illidan’s referral, but there was nothing he could do about it. Now, the only person in Zin-Azshari who could represent the will of the Burning Legion was Roy, and Xavius could only bring Illidan to find him. So after thinking about it, he nodded. “Very good. Since you’re willing to join the Burning Legion, I’m willing to give you a chance. As long as you make contributions, the Legion will naturally reward you. Understood?”
“Understood, Lord Osiris!” Illidan heaved a sigh of relief. “Next, you’ll see my performance…”
“Go!” Roy waved his hand and drove him out of the hall. After Illidan left, he said to Xavius beside him, “Keep an eye on him!”
Xavius nodded. “Of course, Your Lordship! Although I brought Illidan here, I know that his purpose in joining the Legion might not be simple. Perhaps it’s because we caught his beloved. He may have joined the Legion to save his beloved.”
“Oh?” Roy immediately understood. Was Tyrande caught?
“You… captured a priestess of the moon?” Roy asked Xavius.
Xavius immediately responded and said that Tyrande was imprisoned in the Queen’s Palace in Zin-Azshari. If Roy was interested, he could bring him to take a look.
Recalling the dried banana that Tyrande had angrily thrown at him after the Battle of Mount Hyjal, Roy was immediately interested. “Lead the way!”
