Rise of the blood elves

;

"Get everyone into the car, be careful not to break the stone slab."

"Baobi, I need a No. [-] brush here, the kind with soft bristles."

"Damn it, you stole the cold beer I had brought down the rope to the well."

"The next batch of griffons is about to arrive. Help me pack these cultural relics into soft leather. Go to the logistics officer and ask him for ten pieces of soft leather to cushion the boxes and two hundred pounds of beans."

"I brought the soft skin, but what are the beans used for?"

"Are you new here? Well, first put the soft leather into the box, then wrap the cultural relics with water-proof oil paper and pack them. Remember, smooth them with oil. No water can leak at all. Then, pack them with beans. Fill the box full, don't fill it too tightly, leave some gaps. Finally, sprinkle with water and put the cultural relics box in a cool place. After three days, the sprouts will fill the gaps in the box and tightly wrap the cultural relics. It can effectively play a buffering role. Even if the cultural relic box is hit by a collision, the items inside will not be damaged. Do you understand?"

"Understood, I'll do it now."

Just after turning around the foot of a mountain, the moment the archaeological site came into view, the hustle and bustle rushed towards us.Amid the tinkling sounds, the distinctive loud voice of the dwarves can be heard clearly.

The Explorers Association has set up a large camp here.

Tent after tent, thousands of successful and failed dwarves came and went, either returning from the excavation site covered in sweat, shouting to go to the well to take a shower, or carrying boxes of cultural relics towards the griffin's nest. So lively.

There are also many heavily armed soldiers patrolling the perimeter. Judging from their posture and demeanor, they are definitely not ordinary security personnel, but regular troops from Khaz Modan.

It can be seen that the dwarves attach great importance to this archaeological excavation.

This operation was by no means led solely by the Explorers Association. Without the approval of the Bronzebeard Royal Family, there would not have been such a large number of regular soldiers responsible for security here.But in fact, this is not surprising. For dwarves, exploring the origin of race is a top priority.The Explorers Association is also one of the most powerful and influential organizations among the dwarves. One of its founders, Brian Bronzebeard, is the brother of Magni Bronzebeard, the current king of Khaz Modan.

After Angmar and Onyxia approached the excavation site, a patrolling soldier quickly noticed them. After seeing that Angmar was a blood elf, most of their expressions became gloomy, and they subconsciously touched the weapons at their waists. .

When the two of them saw this, they naturally stopped moving forward.A patrolman quickly ran back to the camp to inform his superiors. After a while, a large group of dwarves came out. The leader was a bearded man wearing an adventure hat. He was tall compared to dwarves and had been exposed to the weather for a long time. The skin is rough and dark.

This group of people seemed to have a deep hatred for the blood elves, and they all stared at Angmar with unkind expressions.The explorer leader even shouted loudly as soon as he showed up: "You greedy bamboo poles defrauded us of our cultural relics last time, what tricks are you going to play this time?"

Angmar smiled bitterly.

He really understood why the dwarves were so hostile to the blood elves. It should be clearly defined as why the dwarf members in the Explorers Association were so hostile to the blood elves.

All because Quel'Thalas once had an organization similar to the Explorers Association.

Arcane magic brings people a higher vision, a more thorough and systematic way of looking at the world.This is the case for high elves who specialize in arcane magic.Thanks to some of the inheritance of the ancient night elves, the high elves have pieced together some historical truths by peering into that ancient history that has become fragmented over time.

For example, by deciphering some accidentally obtained ancient relic records, they learned that before ancient times, there were various kinds of inorganic life forms in the world, which were actually creations of Titans.Some of these inorganic life forms are particularly proficient in arcane magic, and are even as good as blue dragons, let alone high elves.

In order to pursue the historical truth, or in other words, in order to reach a higher level of arcane magic, many mages devoted their lives to the excavation and deciphering of ancient relics. They traveled all over Azeroth, looking for the titans they still didn't understand. Ancient relics left behind by the creations.

This was the predecessor of the "Sacred Relic Society" led by a blood elf named Taseran Bloodwish during the Cataclysm in the original history.

During this period, the High Elf "archaeologists" would inevitably come into contact with the Explorers' Association.

Because the various races in the world in that earlier period were far less tightly squeezed together by catastrophes and wars than they are today, they did not understand each other very well.

High elves look down on dwarves, finding them too vulgar.The dwarves also look down upon the high elves, thinking they are too arrogant.In an environment lacking communication, it is not unusual for an immortal species who lives a delicate life and a race that has gradually developed a bold character in the freezing cold of ice and snow to look at each other.

In short, if the two sides' prejudices against each other were detailed, it could be said that it lasted for three days and three nights.

Needless to say, what will happen after archaeologists and explorers from both sides come into contact.Even if someone becomes a friend, it is still an individual case after all.Since "ancient relics" have extraordinary significance to both parties and are so rare in existence, there will inevitably be some competition.

There is no such thing as a first-come, first-served basis. The high elves never think there is anything wrong with taking away ancient relics that they cannot fully use from the hands of these barbaric and backward, almost primitive dwarves.

For example, this is like a good enchanted wand being picked up by a gorilla in Stranglethorn Valley. Isn't this a waste of natural resources, or what?

And, what would one do to get back this fine enchanted wand?

Using food to lure, switch, and steal

Yes, that's right.The method used by the high elven archaeologists to deal with the Explorers Association is similar to this.

When facing high elven archaeologists, the Explorers Association always suffers.

Although the Bronzebeard royal family later expressed stern protest to King Anastarian, who was still in power at the time, through official channels, which at least restrained the high elven archaeologists who had always been unscrupulous in the face of the Explorers Association, but this The beam was still closed.

As far as Angmar knows, not long ago, before the plague of natural disasters broke out in the Kingdom of Lordaeron, Quel'Thalas sent people to launch a small-scale archaeological excavation at the newly unearthed ruins of Uldaman. Activity.Although he didn't know the specific process, it seemed that archaeologists had also successfully recovered many "ancient relics."

now

Judging from the reactions of the members of the Explorers Association, I am afraid that they had already started this work at that time.And the ancient relics that were brought back to Quel'Thalas were also "taken" from their hands.

At the ruins of Uldaman, such an iconic archaeological excavation site, these dwarf explorers, who had long been feuding with high elven archaeologists, saw an Angmar from afar, and naturally regarded him as the same guy. .

And looking at the blushing look on the face of the explorer leader, he seemed to feel very humiliated by the last experience of suffering a loss.

"Do you want to know why those dwarves are hostile to the high elves?" Angmar asked Onyxia beside him in a low voice.

Onyxia said calmly: "Not interested. However, do you want to know the real reason why the enemy is hostile to you?"

Angmar blinked, "Is it also due to you?"

Onyxia raised the corners of her mouth but said nothing.

Angmar burst into laughter, feeling that the former Katrana Presto not only brought trouble to the Kingdom of Stormwind, but also intentionally or unintentionally aggravated the conflicts among the tribes in the Eastern Continent. Even the high elven archaeologists and the Explorers Association took such details into consideration.

He really didn't know this at first. He could only say that it seemed that Deathwing originally wanted to play this game very big.Unexpectedly, the official history fell short, and in this timeline, a prophet also emerged.

"This is not a good place to relax. My intuition tells me that you have something to show me, so let's enter Uldaman quickly. I hate dwarves."

"My intuition is very accurate. But it's not just about seeing."

Angmar smiled slightly, cleared his throat, and said loudly to the indignant members of the Explorers Association in the distance:

"I deeply apologize for the trouble that my people have caused to your association not long ago. I am Angmar Morningstar, the Grand Magister of Quel'Thalas. I am not here to fight for ancient relics. I am just here to visit a man in Uldaman. Old friend."

"Go back, we won't be fooled this time." The explorer leader was suddenly startled, and walked forward suspiciously. He took off the unilateral glasses tied to the front with a chain, put them on and took a good look at Ange. Ma's face was filled with anger, which was instantly replaced by surprise, "Anvilmar, it's really you."
