Chapter 24 Fighting Against Fate
"Save the world? It's up to you!?"
"The world is safe under His Excellency Medivh's protection! Don't bother you!"
"A mere magic apprentice still wants to surpass the great guardian sir!?"
"Duke Marcus! You are insulting Your Excellency the Grand Mage! Insulting this supreme palace of magic!"
The mere mage apprentices had no part to intervene at all, and the ones who roared angrily were the Stormwind mages who followed Medivh. There are not only official mages, but also court mages with a higher status.
The apprentices who envied and angered Duke just now all retreated to the second line at this time, looking at Duke who was in the center of the storm with hostile eyes that were malicious and ready to watch a good show.
At first, it was just accusations, but after a few seconds, there were already a lot of abuse. The mages had thick red necks, and opened their mouths wide enough to see their throats. They fired at Duke almost crazily with words that did not lose their identities!
Medivh, who still maintains a gentlemanly demeanor, is frowning, while Duke is stunned.
Trolls, it turns out that no matter which world you are in, there will be them.
Trolls rarely need a reason.
But for a troll with a reason, his firepower is absolutely shocking.
Almost endless curses flooded the entire hall, and Medivh...or Medivh under the will of Sargeras expressed his astonishment intentionally or unintentionally, but secretly fueled the flames.
Originally, as long as he said a word, he could protect Duke and prevent Duke from being besieged.
He didn't.
In Sargeras' view, as long as the young Duke is under such amazing pressure, Duke's young heart will collapse, and then he will give in and kneel at his feet crying bitterly.
But Duke's reaction was beyond his expectations. Duke just stood there proudly, pointing fingers coldly.
Sargeras didn't know the fact that Duke was a time traveler.
In fact, what Duke was thinking at this moment was another matter.
"It's a good thing that I traveled to Azeroth so early, because this is almost the last time of peace in Azeroth. I can still have time to accumulate strength."
"It's a bad thing that I traveled to Azeroth so early, because these guys have been peaceful for too long."
Long-term peace can make people forget the existence of danger.
The high level of the kingdom that has not changed in any way makes people lose their self-motivation, and it also makes corruption and arrogance breed in people's hearts, but no one notices it.
Perhaps it was noticed, but it was taken for granted.
The hereditary system of nobility makes every nobleman, and even every high-ranking person, think that he is born noble, can transcend the mortal world, and surpass all other people. Rather than saying that they were besieging Duke's bold speech, it would be better to say that this was an overreaction by Duke's unintentional provocation of the entire aristocratic system that relied on inheritance!
It's very simple, Medivh's mother Aegwynn is the guardian of the world, a symbol of immortality who has lived for more than 800 years. She passed on such a noble and powerful position as the guardian of the world to her son, which is the highest symbol of the continuation of the noble blood.
But at this moment, Duke, who was "daring to act recklessly", actually said that he wanted to surpass this noble inheritance symbol as a commoner, which undoubtedly violated the biggest rebellion of all high-ranking people.
Duke suddenly smiled wryly.
It turns out that no matter which world it is, the history will be surprisingly similar.
Countless great ancient empires on the earth perished here, and today, history seems to repeat the same mistakes.
Now that I have crossed over and cannot go back, my destiny has been closely linked with this world of Azeroth, which is about to face countless crises of destruction.
Then, you have to do something!
Duke suddenly felt that all the sounds around him disappeared. Countless fingers pointing at his chest and face suddenly became blurred, those noble mages were like dolls in clumsy shadow puppetry. Can't affect Duke's thoughts at all.
Duke, a traveler, carefully felt the pulse of fate from the world of Azeroth, felt the almost irresistible force of terror from the long river of fate, and recalled the meaning of his existence as a traveler...
At first, Duke was bewildered.
I don't know what I can do.
I don't know what to do.
Perhaps, it is just for the survival and development of oneself, to follow the trend.
There was a question that had troubled Duke for a long time, and that was—if the fate of the world of Azeroth still maintained that bad inertia...what would he do?
Now, the answer to that question is becoming clearer in Duke's mind.
What about fate?
Fight it!
reverse it! !
Never be a slave to fate!
I, Duke, want to be the master of my destiny!
Obviously surrounded by angry and even sickly eyes, obviously Duke is the only outlier in the audience, obviously weak and he should succumb to this.
However, Duke felt that a surge of hot and surging blood was powerfully pumping out from his heart, pulsating into his whole body from the agitation, like ten thousand horses galloping, making a thunderous rolling sound, spreading the passionate emotion throughout his body Every corner of the body, infecting every cell in the body.
The corners of Duke's mouth curled up quietly, he should be angry, he should be sneering. However, his soul seemed to be out of his body, floating in the sky above the hall, quietly looking down at these seemingly powerful but weak guys from above.
His gaze seemed to transcend time and space.
The scenes that happened in the game are truly reproduced in Duke's vision.
He saw that Stormwind City was captured by the fierce orc army. This beautiful outer wall of the capital of the largest human kingdom in the south was destroyed in the flames of destruction.
He also saw that under the leadership of Anduin Lothar, the humans recovered Stormwind City, and a brand new and more vigorous kingdom was reborn from the ashes of destruction.
And then destroyed again, and once again reborn!
The indomitable will of human beings has been perfectly embodied here in Stormwind City!
And countless epic heroes were also born in this crisis that may lead to the destruction of the world.
Thinking back to those great scenes, Duke suddenly felt fortunate that this time, he was finally able to participate in this great epic as a participant.
Suddenly, Duke laughed.
"Hahahahahaha--"
The arrogant laughter stunned the audience, every cursed mouth opened and forgot to close, and every accusing finger stiffened in the air.
The mages were all stunned.
Duke's proud gaze swept 180 degrees from left to right.
"It turns out that just the dream of 'beyond the legend' is already blasphemy."
"It turns out that just being 'unwilling to be ordinary' is already a crime in your eyes."
"It turns out that the majestic Stormwind City Royal School of Magic is so narrow-minded, no wonder everyone talks about Dalaran, not Stormwind City, as the greatest mage holy land."
"Okay, since you don't want to stay, then I'll go. Goodbye everyone!"
"Or, are you going to execute me in the name of offending the guardian, His Excellency Medivh?"
