Chapter 157 Naru: The Legend of Light and Shadow 1
A group of people swarmed into the sewers. Lorraine had no idea what they were arguing about, only overhearing two Dalaran citizens mention the mysterious Naaru... The so-called sewers were located beneath the pool in Dalaran's gardens, a dense, interconnected network...
Throughout the city, the superstructures belong to the private domains and official residences of various archmages.
The upper levels are almost entirely composed of mysterious, tower-like structures, seemingly vying for supremacy. The magical towers inhabited by archmages vary in height, some soaring into the clouds, others stretching endlessly... but they all consciously appear to be a head shorter and smaller than the Kirin Tor's Violet Citadel...
The middle level is actually the single-level area, a public area and commercial building where magical citizens work, live, and relax together... mainly consisting of the various shops, banks, and hotels that Lorraine saw.
There are also some magical toy stores and barbershops.
Wizards typically have very thick hair, especially dwarf and gnome wizards... Their beards can curl into strange shapes, and their hair can stand up and coil on top of their heads...
On the contrary, many human mages, especially males, almost all have receding hairlines...
Therefore, they always wear pointed mage hats.
Those witches are slightly different; they concoct strange potions. They imbue mortal objects with magic, transforming plants or animals...making spellbooks talk, blankets fly, and brooms sweep the house...
If it weren't for the current tense standoff, Lorraine would have truly forgotten his purpose in coming to Dalaran.
He really wanted to explore this magical city!
.......
The sewers everyone's rushing into right now are the lower levels of Dalaran, a vast and densely populated dark area. Naturally, Dalaran's sewage flows into the sewers, but nobody knows where the sewage outlets are.
However, the deeper the sewers go underground, the stranger and more dangerous the creatures that live there become.
Occasionally, people can spot a prehistoric crocodile crawling around in the sewers; it looks like it could swallow a dozen people whole! The appearance of this creature in Dalaran is strange; people generally guess that the sewers lead to Lake Lordamere, which isn't far away...
After all, there are plenty of water resources there... There must be dangerous creatures in the lake that have made their way to Dalaran through the sewers.
The real danger is not evil and filthy creatures like crocodiles or rats.
Instead, it includes spies, agents, bandits, fugitives, and evil warlocks, wizards, shamans, or druids infiltrated by Dalaran... as well as some elemental spirits and void creatures.
After all, this is a magical city, where strange spatial rifts often appear...
The current location of Violet Prison is the very entrance to the demonic invasion. Over centuries, mages have repaired and reinforced the barrier, creating the magical prison it is today. Any one of the characters imprisoned in Violet Prison, if released, could cause a catastrophe in any mortal kingdom.
The mages had to be extremely careful...
This magical city, weathered by time and calamity, is constantly on the brink of collapse... always at the forefront of events. Archmages play a pivotal role in major human crises, often forced to shoulder the responsibility of saving the world...
Many crises also arise unexpectedly...
They have now chosen neutrality and isolation so that they can peacefully pursue magical knowledge and power... to seek immortality and protect their people...
Dalaran was originally a commercial hub. It was because the city's former lord declared that Dalaran did not reject magical research and welcomed every visitor from afar that it attracted mages from all corners of the world to settle and thrive there...
Today, the wizards of the Kirin Tor possess powers beyond those of mortals, and hold extremely high status and prestige...
At the same time, they are also the target of everyone's criticism. For Dalaran, the city of wisdom, uniting humanity and maintaining peace in Azeroth is extremely difficult. Khadgar originally intended to use the power of the Holy Light to unite these so-called believers of the Light and rationally confront the threat from the otherworld.
Who would have thought that these people would go mad simply because the Holy Light was emitted by a Naaru, an energy being...
Shattrath, the City of Light, is in Outland... there, the Naaru guide the forces of good against evil. But on Azeroth, their homeland, the Naaru are treated as heretics—it's truly laughable.
Khadgar had no idea that the portal he had painstakingly created, using the power of the mages, to open between Dalaran and Shattrath, would attract a group of lunatics... fanatics preparing to fight over their so-called faith!
They even turned their attention to the sacred and benevolent beings, the Naaru...
The Arena of Willpower was packed today, unusually lively! Not only were there many competitors inside, but there were also quite a few spectators. Lorraine tried hard to understand what was happening; he even craned his neck to look inside, and heard that two people were already about to fight!
"The prize?"
"Whoever wins, it belongs to them!"
