The fighting movement on the first floor of Karazhan did not last long, and it was far from the three minutes that Sharlayan predicted.

About one minute and thirty seconds later, Khadgar, who had not had time to make a move, witnessed the end of the battle with his own eyes.

Attumen, who was charging left and right on a horse, was finally grasped by Sharlayan, and he waited in advance to appear right in front of Attumen's charge route.

"Ugh!"

There was no suspense in the confrontation between the two-handed knight's sword and the black and white staff. Attumen, who was still charging at high speed, was forcibly knocked off his horse by Salayan, and fell to the ground screaming.

"Xi Law Law!"

The undead warhorse roared angrily in the middle of the night, continued to speed up and swung its long spear, as if hitting the old Sharlayan with its moves.

Just when Khadgar was about to help, Sharlayan unhurriedly stretched out his left hand, which had been weak all the time, and firmly pressed Midnight's horse's head.

"hiss!"

After a short inconspicuous rubbing sound, Midnight, who was still sprinting at full speed, was forcibly stopped by a ruthless big hand.

As Sharlayan's left hand continued to exert force, Midnight was pinned to the ground without any struggle, no matter how hard it struggled, it could not break free from the enemy's control.

He was thrown off the horse during the sprint, and Attumen was hit hard when he landed, and it took him a while to stand up unsteadily.

At this time, Midnight had been completely subdued, and the horse was fixed in place unable to move, surrounded by a circle of off-white restriction spells.

Sharlayan moved his slightly sore left hand and asked Khadgar, "How should I deal with this guy? Just save him? Or awaken his will and keep it as a spare?"

"ah?"

Khadgar didn't expect the battle to end so quickly, and was a little dazed. It took a second before he came back to answer Sharlayan's question.

"Can he still awaken his will? Of course it would be better to leave Attumen to help."

"Okay, I'll try."

Changing the balance staff back into the bracelet form, Khadgar's vision flickered, and the next moment he saw Sharlayan appearing in front of Attumen who was still about to fight.

"clang!"

He punched Attumen's helmet, and under the condition that Sharlayan deliberately controlled his strength, Attumen did not die on the spot like Aridin, but fell backwards to the ground with unsteady feet.

After forcibly taking off Attumen's helmet, a blue-gray undead face was revealed. Sharlayan pinched his forehead with his right hand and injected his death power into Attumen's body.

"Ahhhhhhhh!!"

The external force forcibly invaded Attumen's soul. Of course, the process would not be pleasant. Unable to resist, Attumen raised his head to the sky and let out a miserable scream.

Sharlayan ignored the movement from Attumen, he had already found the foreign object in Attumen's soul.

"Spiritual suggestion? The effect can be so long-lasting."

When starting to clear the spell that Medivh had left in Attumen's mind, Salayan glanced at Attumen who had gradually regained his composure.

"It's not just the effect of the spell, this guy's loyalty to Medivh greatly amplifies the effect of the spell."

"However... dreams are just dreams after all, there will always be a day when you wake up, let's face reality again, loyal hunter Attumen."

"Well!"

Following Attumen's last muffled grunt, Salayan let go of his right hand pinching his forehead, and took two steps back to observe the situation.

The trip to the Shadowlands allowed Sharlayan to deepen his understanding of the power of death, and his control over undead creatures also became stronger.

Although it is still impossible to remotely manipulate the soul like Ner'zhul who has the Helm of Domination, as long as he is directly touched by his death power, undead creatures whose power level is weaker than Sharlayan will be easily manipulated by him, and even certain Transform the soul of the other party to a certain extent.

Attumen's situation is not complicated. Like most of the earthbound spirits inside and outside of Karazhan, he was influenced by Medivh...or Sargeras's spiritual suggestion spell before his death.

After the Guardian War that broke out between Medivh and Aegwynn ended, Karazhan had already fallen into chaos. It was Medivh who used spells to continue to maintain the peaceful scene of singing and dancing in the tower as before.

Those nobles and servants who were forced to stay by the spiritual suggestion all died in the energy explosion in Karazhan.

Except for a very small number of relatively powerful individuals, the bodies of most people were annihilated in the explosion, and they could only continue to wander inside and outside Karazhan in the form of souls.

And among the few who can keep their bodies and survive in the form of undead, they include Attumen the hunter and Moros the steward.

Although Attumen's strength is not as good as Salayan's, he still has a level 50 legendary goalkeeper.

Medivh's spiritual intimation spells didn't affect him as much as those of lesser nobles and servants.

The reason why he has not been able to get rid of the control so far is only because his heart is willing to accept this spiritual control from the master.

Through Attumen's loyalty, it can also be seen from the side that Medivh's personality charm before being deeply influenced by Sargeras.

But just like Sharlayan said, dreams will eventually wake up.

After Sharlayan started to clean up the influence of spells in Attumen's soul, Attumen, who had been in a daze for more than ten years, finally regained his will.

"I..." Attumen's eyes showed a clear look of confusion: "Already dead?"

"Where's the master? Where's Butler Moros? What happened in Karazhan? Why..."

When Attumen's gaze shifted to Khadgar, his expression froze for a moment.

"This familiar yet unfamiliar face... Are you Khadgar? Why are you so old? How many years have passed since my death?"

As the saying goes, you don't hit someone in the face when you hit someone.

Although Khadgar has always shown that he doesn't care much, but turning into an old man at a young age has dealt him a lot of blows.

"Uh~"

The corner of Khadgar's mouth twitched, he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Attumen, long time no see."

"My appearance changed for another reason. You died in the Dark Portal three years ago, only 13 years ago."

...

Khadgar had lived in the tower of Karazhan for a long time to learn all kinds of knowledge from Medivh, and of course he got acquainted with Medivh's followers including Attumen and Moros.

Sharlayan did not disturb Khadgar and Attumen's catching up.

While Khadgar was explaining to a bewildered Attumen the upheaval that had occurred in Karazhan thirteen years ago, Sharlayan stepped aside alone and released Midnight.

Just as Sharlayan guessed, Medivh wasn't free enough to give a mental hint to a horse.

After getting rid of the control, Midnight kept away from Sharlayan vigilantly, and carefully returned to the side of his master Attumen, and did not attack again in a very human way.

Knowing that Medivh's soul had already been influenced by the demon king Sargeras, Attumen's expression was very complicated.

"No wonder the master behaved very strangely in the last period before I lost consciousness. It turns out..."

"Hey~"

With a long sigh, Attumen temporarily let go of the sadness in his heart.

"Khadgar, you are the only legal heir of Karazhan. I will, as always, be loyal to the master of Karazhan, and do my best to help you take back this guardian tower."

"but……"

Perhaps it was instinctively remembering the experience of being violently beaten by Sarlayan before, Attumen glanced at Sarlayan who was standing aside with his hands folded with lingering fear: "Can I ask your friend to do me another favor?"

Khadgar raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Tell me, his time is very tight, and I can't guarantee it for him."

Attumen scratched his thinning hair after being undead and said: "If we want to regain Karazhan, we cannot do without the help of the steward Moros, if..."

Attumen didn't finish what he said, but it was enough for Salayan to understand what he meant.

"Um……"

Sharlayan frowned and thought about it: "I just received the latest information from Kael Darrowon. Ner'zhul's long-awaited reinforcements have arrived. The Scourge is about to launch a full-scale attack on the defense line guarded by the Knights of the Silver Hand."

"As Khadgar said, I don't have much time to stay."

"If Khadgar can promise to teleport me directly to the vicinity of Dalaran, I can stay and help you one last time, and then you will have to rely on your own strength."

The ball was thrown back into Khadgar's hands, and the "old" mage rubbed his eyebrows in distress.

"Teleportation across more than half of the eastern kingdom... I'm afraid it will be difficult to do it with my own strength."

"Give me a little time, I'll look for the batch of artifacts we seized before, maybe I'll gain something."

Sharlayan shrugged and said, "Okay, I'll give you another five minutes. If it doesn't work, we can only wait until next time."
