Chapter 685: Deal with Illidan

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Yes, Roy came to the Well of Eternity to retrieve the sword embryo he had hidden many years ago!

The reason why Roy took it out now was that Sargeras’s fel energy had contaminated the Well of Eternity. Next, because of the explosion, it would turn into a massive maelstrom, and the former Well of Eternity would become one with the sea. Under the dilution of the endless seawater, the energy of the Well of Eternity would no longer exist.

Under these circumstances, if he continued to hide the sword embryo here, it wouldn’t be able to absorb any energy, so it was better to take it out first…

Holding the sword embryo, Roy felt it and found a burst of joy coming from it. It seemed that after continuously absorbing the energy of the Well of Eternity for more than 12,000 years, the sword embryo had indeed given birth to a small spiritual intelligence.

But… it wasn’t enough. The energy wasn’t enough! It was not enough to reach the energy level of the super divine artifact that Roy had expected!

“You… you came to the Well of Eternity for this?” Illidan stared dumbfounded at the sword embryo in Roy’s hand. “When did you hide it in the Well of Eternity?! Why didn’t the night elves know about this?!”

“When?” Roy comforted the spirit in the sword embryo and smiled. “Probably before you night elves were born!”

Like a bolt from the blue, Illidan was stunned. Although he didn’t want to believe this, his intuition told him that it was probably true.

In other words, Demon Osiris had appeared on Azeroth long before the birth of the night elves?!

At this moment, Illidan felt that he had noticed a great scheme, but he couldn’t tell what kind of scheme it was. He only knew that the one who created this scheme was the demon in front of him, Osiris!

Illidan didn’t speak for a long time. His imagination was running wild, and who knew what he was thinking. It wasn’t until Roy’s fingers snapped that he finally regained his senses.

“Don’t be delusional, okay?” Roy looked down at Illidan. “Perhaps the energy of the Well of Eternity isn’t common in the universe and attracts the covetous eyes of the Burning Legion, but to me, it’s just energy. I don’t have any other thoughts about it. I just want it to help me complete the early stages of forging my sword…”

Illidan asked doubtfully, “Is that really all?”

“Hmph!” Roy snorted coldly. “With your strength, are you worthy of me deceiving you?”

Illidan stopped talking. He actually knew that what Demon Osiris said was very likely true. If he had really come to Azeroth more than 10,000 years ago, he wouldn’t take the night elves born afterward seriously at all. The Well of Eternity had never belonged to the night elves. Who owned it was the entire world of Azeroth, and the night elves were only using the Well of Eternity…

Therefore, Illidan could understand the meaning in Roy’s words. Since night elves could use it, why couldn’t demons?

After forcing himself to calm down, Illidan asked again, “I’m afraid Sargeras doesn’t know that you hid a sword embryo in the Well of Eternity, right?”

“That’s right. He doesn’t know!” Roy looked at him with a faint smile. “Do you want to tell him?”

“No!” Illidan shook his head. “I just want to know, you’re clearly one of the commanders of the Burning Legion, but why are your actions different from the other demons of the Burning Legion? In retrospect, you probably knew that I pretended to join the Burning Legion, but you didn’t expose me. Instead, you allowed me to join the Legion and obtain a chance to meet Sargeras… You can be said to be one of the culprits behind the Burning Legion’s defeat, right?”

Roy shook his head. “Illidan Stormrage, knowing too much isn’t beneficial to you! Put away all your thoughts and bury them deep in the depths of your mind… Now, tell me, are you interested in making a deal with a demon like me?”

“What deal?” Illidan asked curiously.

Roy grinned sinisterly. With a flip of his wrist, a few small bottles appeared in his hand.

After seeing these bottles, Illidan could no longer look away. The bottles in Roy’s hands were full of crystal clear liquid, and this liquid was so dazzling that it radiated light.

Illidan was too familiar with this sight. He had seen this light countless times in his life…

It was the light of the well water of the Well of Eternity!

“By Elune, is… is this pure well water from the Well of Eternity?!” Illidan subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch these bottles. “Uncontaminated well water? How is it possible?! How did you obtain it?”

After seeing the well water in these bottles, Illidan no longer had any doubts about Roy’s arrival on Azeroth a long time ago. But unlike what he thought, which was that Roy had collected the water over 10,000 years ago, the water in Roy’s hand actually came from the future.

Yes, it was the well water that he had swept away after destroying the World Tree Nordrassil in the Battle of Mount Hyjal.

This is a wonderful… cycle! When Roy took out the well water, this phrase couldn’t help flashing in his mind. He took out the water and handed it to Illidan so that he could create the second Well of Eternity. Then, more than 10,000 years later, he took back the water. If this was not a cycle, then what was it?

“Unlike your vials earlier, these bottles in my hands are spatial containers!” Roy said to Illidan. “Each of these small bottles probably contains several tons of water, which is enough for you to create a new Well of Eternity.”

After hearing this, Illidan could no longer hold back his emotions.

He had wanted to fill vials with the water of the Well of Eternity earlier because he had no choice. Although the water of the Well of Eternity was rich in energy, how much could a small vial hold? If he poured it into a lake, it would probably be extremely diluted. Who knew how long it would take to restore the original splendor of the Well of Eternity.

But it would be completely different if he could obtain the well water in Osiris’s hands.

After calming down, Illidan asked, “Is the deal you mentioned related to the well water?”

“That’s right!” Roy nodded. “I know you want to restore the Well of Eternity, so I’ll give you this pure well water to help you complete it. But the premise is that you must sink my sword embryo into the well again! This is the content of our deal!”

Illidan asked in puzzlement, “Continue letting your sword embryo absorb energy? It’s not impossible, but… why don’t you do this personally?”

Roy pointed at the portal in the sky. “I can’t do it. I don’t know when you’ll be able to create the second Well of Eternity. Before that, I’ll be expelled. Sargeras wants to force his way into this world, but I don’t think he’ll be able to succeed. Once he’s repelled, the power of the portal will take away my body.”

It wasn’t until this moment that Illidan realized that Demon Osiris was only a clone, and his main body was still in the headquarters of the Burning Legion. He immediately understood why Roy wanted to hand this matter to him.

After understanding this, Illidan quickly calculated the pros and cons of this matter in his mind.

In fact, it wasn’t that Illidan didn’t understand why the Burning Legion invaded the world of Azeroth. It was nothing more than because of the Well of Eternity, so he naturally knew the consequences of creating the second Well of Eternity. His brother, Malfurion, had mentioned this more than once.

But Illidan and Malfurion had different views. In Illidan’s opinion, demons were vengeful, and the Burning Legion was naturally the same. This time, the Legion had suffered a massive defeat on Azeroth, so how could they give up? Perhaps it wouldn’t be long before the Burning Legion returned again. This had nothing to do with whether Azeroth had the Well of Eternity or not.

On the contrary, if the Well of Eternity could continue to exist, it would bring immense benefits to the world of Azeroth. The environment of this world had long been accustomed to the existence of the Well of Eternity, and it had long been a consensus that the energy of the Well regulated the climate of the entire world. If the Well of Eternity really disappeared, it would be a tremendous disaster for the living beings of Azeroth, and countless species would become extinct.

What was laughable was that Malfurion, a druid who advocated the path of nature, couldn’t see this as clearly as Illidan…

In Illidan’s opinion, the Well of Eternity had to be preserved, and in order to preserve it, he needed to make a deal with Demon Osiris.

It was worth a weapon that a demon king had been planning for since more than 10,000 years ago. Needless to say, Illidan knew how dangerous it would be. If this weapon really grew in the Well of Eternity and was finally born, Illidan didn’t dare to imagine how much trouble it would cause to Azeroth.

But the premise of all this was that Demon Osiris wanted to destroy Azeroth… What if he didn’t have any hostility toward Azeroth or didn’t care?

Illidan looked straight at Roy, trying to see something in his eyes. But unfortunately, Roy’s eyes were cold and calm. Other than making Illidan feel frightened, there was nothing else.

Finally, Illidan gritted his teeth and said, “Deal!”

Then he stretched out his hand to take the bottles away, but Roy clenched his fist and stopped him. He smiled sinisterly. “A deal with a demon isn’t as simple as you think!”

As his voice fell, a demon contract born from flames appeared in front of Illidan. Roy pointed at the contract. “In order to ensure that you will do everything according to my intentions, a demon contract is essential. Come, Illidan Stormrage, write your true name on this contract…”

Some of the bad ideas in Illidan’s mind immediately fell through. He knew that this transaction wasn’t that simple, so he could only examine the contract patiently and carefully.

This contract was written in the language of the night elves, so he had no problem understanding it. After careful examination, he found that there was nothing wrong. He hesitated for a moment before pressing his finger on the contract.

A burning pain came, and Illidan’s finger was burned. At the same time, his name slowly appeared on the contract.

With a burst of flames, the contract disappeared, and the transaction was established. Roy opened his palm with a smile and handed the few bottles of well water to Illidan.

Then there was the sword embryo…

Illidan held this simple sword embryo and sensed a strong will resisting him coming from it. He was shocked and realized that this weapon was indeed not simple.

However, he had already signed the contract, so he had no choice but to put away the sword embryo.

“Then, goodbye, Illidan Stormrage!” Roy’s clone began to become transparent because his main body had canceled the power projection. Of course, he couldn’t wait until the portal really sucked this clone away.

After seeing Roy completely disappear, Illidan smiled bitterly and muttered to himself, “Goodbye? It’s best not to see you again…”

With that, Illidan looked up at the lightning-filled portal in the sky again, turned around, and left the scene…
