Shadow Trails in Azeroth

"Where are we going?"

With Lyden's permission, the thunderous heart beating in Little Xingxing's chest finally calmed down. Probably because he no longer had to bear the charge of being a "heart-stealing thief", Little Xingxing, who valued his reputation very much, suddenly became excited.

She followed Blake as he walked in the deathly quiet Thunder God's Throne, looking at the palace walls shrouded in gloom, and then casually threw a stream of lightning, scaring the lizard people who were hiding in the darkness and peeping with vicious eyes into running around.

"Let's go to the real 'Thor's Throne'."

Blake, who was holding a pipe, pursed his lips and looked at the back of the palace complex in front of him. The endless palaces rose up with the island's mountains, creating a raised supreme palace in front of him.

The ever-present dark clouds seem to be emanating from there.

And every ten minutes, blue spikes like lightning rods standing on the top of each palace will attract lightning from the clouds to fall. The entire palace is like a greedy living creature craving for "food", and the lightning and thunder falling from the sky are the "meat" that feeds it.

"What Emperor Thunder God left in this ancient palace is not only his wealth, but also his power."

The pirate turned back to Little Star and said:

"This Thunder Heart comes with a matching 'weapon', which is the emperor's weapon that Thor shaped for himself in order to better control the power of thunder and storm.

You have to get it to fully unleash the power of your heart.

That's what we're here for.

Of course, as far as I know, Thor left something very strange in his throne, and the two poor prisoners have been sealed for tens of thousands of years. They should be released out of reason and emotion. "

"they?"

Little Star blinked and said:

"Female? Are they mogu? Are there still female mogu in this world? I saw all kinds of strange mogu stone sculptures in the creation room of Nalaksha Engine.

But Mrs. Guo Ya told me that there are no female mogu in this world.

Those stones don’t need to reproduce.”

"Who said no?"

The pirate glared at Little Star and said:

"Don't listen to Mrs. Guo Ya's nonsense. She just hasn't seen her before. She really teaches a bad kid to go away. Don't ask. You will know when you see her later."

"Wow, it's chasing it! Come on, come on, I'll lure it away, and you use magic to prepare to attack! You idiot, cooperate with me!"

Just when Blake and Little Star crossed a high platform connected by a stone bridge, they heard the sound of chickens and dogs jumping below. Little Star curiously turned his head to look down into the hundred-foot abyss under the bridge.

You can vaguely see a huge creature chasing the trio of warlocks in the turbid water pool.

The three guys were running around, apparently intending to distract the monster, but they didn't expect that the monster had nine heads, so they would be targeted for attack no matter how they ran.

He looked extremely embarrassed.

"Should we go down and help?"

Little Star, who had just "tamed" Thunder Heart, looked at Blake eagerly. The stinky pirate shook his head and curled his lips and said:

"These three funny guys have taken so much resources from me and Nathalas Academy to train them. If they can't even deal with a mutated Hydra that eats garbage, then they deserve to die here.

Regardless of how crazy they are, after following me for so long, they can be considered leaders in the warlock profession. "

"Yes."

Little Xingxing thought for a while and whispered:

"The three of them have been hiding their strength. The last time I chatted with Old Man Saqil, I heard the old man leak that Evil Eye and Zalak have both been promoted to legendary warlocks, and Kanrisad is only one step away from that hurdle. far away.

They are also working quietly in places you can’t see. "

"These three guys are very ambitious people. They know that if they don't work hard, they will fall behind. As the cause of the Immortal Fleet is getting stronger and stronger, they must work ten times harder than before to be able to hold on to their current status. status.

If they want to go further, they have to squeeze more energy from themselves to seek power and knowledge. "

As Blake crossed the bridge, he said to the little star behind him:

“Everyone around me is like this. I don’t even need to tell them. People who pursue their ideals will know what to do.

This is called healthy competition.

environment!

This is a very important thing.

But what makes me even more confused is that you are obviously in this environment, so why can’t you always feel the invisible competition? Don't you feel anxious when you see others constantly improving themselves?

Don’t you have ideals?

little stars. "

"I do, I just don't think I need to be so tired."

Princess Blue Dragon curled her lips, touched her hair and said:

"I'm different from you. I have tens of thousands of years to waste, and now is not the time for me to pursue power. After all, I'm just a young dragon.

Grandfather said that we dragons should travel to increase our knowledge during this period, and our strength will naturally come from sleeping more. The power system of our dragons is different from that of your human orcs.

Besides, I’m so lucky.”

She touched her heart and said:

“For things like power, if I don’t want it, it will come to me on its own.

In addition, I am also a student of Dean Lanyue, and I have heard the dean tell you about your tricks a long time ago. I won’t be fooled by you. Didn’t they give you an advantage in the end after they worked so hard to pursue power and knowledge?

The stronger they are, the stronger you are.

You are simply the most evil boss. You use your ideals and future to lure them into risking their lives to become stronger. It's like you're giving them a pie that they can never touch! "

"Who said that?"

Blake puffed his beard and stared:

"When did I give up? I gave them everything they wanted, fame, status and wealth, as long as they could get it, I would never begrudge them.

I can be said to be the best boss in the world, and I sometimes feel that I am so generous that I spend money on it. "

"whispering sound."

Little Xingxing curled her lips and stopped arguing on this topic.

The "generousness" of the smelly pirate came at a price. There was never a free lunch in his fleet. She had already seen through this after following Black for so long.

While the two were discussing entering the back hall of the Thunder God's Throne, in the main hall they had just left, the Great Guardian Lai, who had been imprisoned in an underground chamber for over ten thousand years, also walked out with the support of his loyal servant Norush. Out of the cage.

He came to the palace and looked at the gloomy sky outside the palace gate. Even though the light was not dazzling, Leiden felt as if he was in another world.

The guardian with long white hair and a big beard stretched his body like a person who had not exercised for many years. He could even feel every bone in his body making a clicking sound.

As Leiden moved, wisps of lightning and the power of the storm also lingered around his body.

This is the return of Rai's power.

As Blake said before, the Titan Guardians were all pinched out one by one by the Titans of the Pantheon, and their bodies have carried the highest divinity among the stars since their appearance.

Their power does not come from a heart, or a weapon.

The world authority granted by the Titans is their real source of power. To put it simply, the Titan Guardians are bound to the world of Azeroth.

Their power will not fade as long as the world exists.

Of course, losing the heart that gathers strength will indeed bring some inconvenience to Raiden.

This will weaken his body's power, weaken his resistance to corrosion, and make it more difficult to control thunder and storm when releasing magic.

However, considering that the position of the Great Guardian has never been a warrior in close combat with the enemy, in the ancient times of the wilderness, he appeared more in the form of a spell caster in the stories of the Titan Guardians, so I give my heart to the little one. In fact, there is no need to worry too much about stars.

"Great Raiden! After the changes in the world and the vicissitudes of life, our supreme god, you have finally returned to this world and come to lead your loyal servants."

The moment Leiden walked out of the palace, with heavy expectation and anxiety, the Tovir warriors waiting outside the palace gate all fell to their knees.

Their leader, the powerful Sunkeeper Talim, was so excited that he could not control himself. The divine warrior who had completed self-purification took off his jackal helmet and placed it in front of him.

Every piece of his obsidian skin was shaking, and he lowered his head, daring not to look at the Tol'vir's legendary master of Raiden.

But he could feel that with the gaze of the giant in front of him, his body and mind were perfected and filled with courage and strength at this moment.

As a family member who is very close to the guardians in the Titan creation sequence, it is normal to have such a reaction.

"I have heard your story. The Tol'vir have been guarding the Forge of Origin since I left.

You take my orders before I leave as your mission and oracle, and you would rather destroy the beautiful land where you live to maintain the holy land that I should protect.

you

You are more of a guardian of this world than I am. "

Leiden said with emotion:

"What you did makes me feel guilty."

"No, great god!"

Lydon's words made Talim extremely moved and extremely frightened.

Receiving the affirmation from Master Leiden meant that the hard work of countless Tovir people in the past was worth it, but the master's attitude of admitting his mistake made Talim a little unsure of how to respond.

The gods and warriors are not good at singing praises in words. He can only speak the true words in his heart.

The big stone cat said respectfully:

“It is you who gave us strength, you who shaped our origins, you who gave us the meaning of existence, and you who generously gave us the whole world.

We pay for you and the world you protect. Isn’t this what we should do?

When you meditate far away and leave the whole world, it is up to us, the servants, to shoulder your responsibilities. This is not a sacrifice! It's an honor to be chosen.

Every Tol'vir never complained. "

This sincere and simple reaction made Leiden even more silent. The naturally powerful Great Guardian didn't know what answer to use to respond to this servant's sincere feelings.

At this moment, he felt that what he had done in the past hundreds of thousands of years was an extremely bastard's behavior.

He wasted so much time and allowed mortals to bear sacrifices they should not have to bear.

The emergence of this emotion made Raiden even more painful. Behind him, the equally sluggish King of War Odin patted his brother's shoulder in sympathy.

The golden giant looked towards the sky, and through the clouds he could see the golden sky fortress suspended at the end of the sky.

He said:

“I’m just like you, my brother, and I’ve wasted too much time in the past.

I could not understand the meaning of the short existence of these ordinary people until I chose to observe their lives to pass the time out of boredom.

I saw a lot and I understood a lot.

Although their lives are short, they are also exciting and exciting, just like countless time condensed into meteors blooming in one night, short and brilliant.

And because they have rich emotions, they can often do things that shock us all.

They will also protect the world.

For various reasons, they will also give everything they have to this world, even though that should be our responsibility.

It is we who have failed this world

But we still have a chance to make amends.

You and I have been freed from a broken and lonely era, and we are free, but our brothers are still trapped in the Holy Land of Creation. Tyr, the bravest, died in battle, and Loken, the wisest, betrayed.

There has been no news from anyone else.

I still can't see what's going on in Ulduar.

But I feel the fall of the Guardians! In a shocking depravity, the creature that was once entrusted with the responsibility of protecting the world has become one of the world's greatest hidden dangers.

And in the era of our inaction, the darkness that we suppressed has peeked out and laughed at our weakness. "

Odin clenched his fists and said to Raiden:

"Cheer up, brother, we still have a lot to do."

"Um."

Leiden nodded. He stroked the scars on his body, looked at the Tovir again, and said to Odin:

"I still need some time to adjust my condition. I have to go to the Forge of Origin to see the situation there with my own eyes. I also have to get my weapon and my shield back.

If we were going to fight, I had to be ready.

Look at this continent in front of you, my brother, I have been away for so long, but it is still full of life and full of purity. Facts have proved that maybe mortals can take care of this world without gods like us.

Look at them, they even did what we couldn't do.

The crisis caused by Y'Shaarj's heart was eliminated by them.

This really makes me feel extremely ashamed. "

"Well"

Hearing Leiden say this, Odin's expression became a little strange. He hesitated and told Leiden the story of Black and the Heart of Darkness, saying:

"It was the guy who was raving just now who solved the Heart of Darkness. Although I know he must have had his own purpose in getting the heart, considering that his actions are not harmful to this continent shaped by you.

So, I just let him do it. "

"It's him?"

Great Guardian Lai blinked his one eye in surprise and said:

"I thought he was just an arrogant prophet, but I didn't expect that he had done so many great things. Well, these real past events gave more weight to his words.

If he has made a prediction about the fate of the gods, then it seems that I have more reasons to expect it. "

"Hahaha, I've always had expectations for him."

Odin laughed.

He acted as if he wasn't the one who wanted to shoot Blake to death just now.

Before leaving, the Lord of War had one last little question.

He looked at Leiden and asked in a low voice:

"How did you shape the Valley of Eternal Blossoms? I can feel the strange power under that valley. How did it support the entire Pandaria and make this land so fertile and beautiful?"

Raiden shook his head at this question.

With a trace of nostalgia, he said softly:

"I buried there the last bit of power that Lord Aman'Thul gave me across the stars. The beauty and richness of Pandaria is the last gift given by the King of Gods to the world that He has been paying attention to.

I did not shape the Vale of Eternal Blossoms and those miraculous springs.

That is a gift from the Pantheon.

They never left.

They are always here, watching over and protecting this world, and they are with us. "
