Rise of the blood elves

245【Hysterical Staghelm】

No one knows the origin of the Emerald Dream. It is said that it existed in this world in some form during the primitive period when Azeroth had not yet been ordered and even the Old Gods had not yet arrived. It was like a sleeping Titan inside the planet. Star Soul's spiritual world is generally calm and peaceful.

Titan Guardian Freya discovered this place, and in order to communicate with the sleeping Titan soul, she transformed the Emerald Dream into what it is today.

The rich power of nature fills it. While strengthening the star soul, it also nurtures thousands of creatures in Azeroth, and even gave birth to a group of majestic creatures born according to the will of nature. Wherever they go, the vegetation is lush, and the woodland becomes... Yin is the "wilderness demigod".

They are the embodiment of the natural spirits of Azeroth and have eternal life. As long as Azeroth exists, they will never die.

At that time, the Titan Guardian Freya, who traveled back and forth between the two poles of the world, later to work in places such as Sholazar Basin, Vale of Eternal Blossoms, and Un'Goro Crater, accidentally discovered them on Mount Hyjal and suddenly fell in love with them. of these beautiful creatures.

She treats them like her own children, caring and guiding them, opening up their intelligence, and binding their souls to the Emerald Dream, so that even if their bodies die, they can return to the dream. Draw enough life force to finally return to the world

Much later, when the five brave ancestral dragons defeated Galakrond and eliminated a crisis of annihilation for the world, Tyr, impressed by his faith, persuaded the guardians to give them the responsibility of defending the world.

Freya used herself as a relay carrier to activate the power of Eonar, the Titan's Life-Binder, and blessed Alexstrasza and Ysera. The former possessed the power of life and would eventually become the "Life-Binder". The title "Sworn One" is widely known to the world; the latter is the power of dreams, and for countless years after that, he carefully guarded everything in the Emerald Dream for Freya.

As long as the Emerald Dream is mentioned, the first emotion that arises in the hearts of the druids is tranquility and serenity.The dream reveals the most original form of Azeroth. Without the interference of intelligent races, ancient gods, and the Burning Legion, Azeroth would have developed into that.

But at this time, the green mist surrounding the moonwell rolled up and formed an ugly reddish-brown creature, like a scar born from the most beautiful things, completely destroying the beauty of the dream.

He has an extremely tall body, with two feet above his head. His fur-covered torso is filled with the power of shadow, and his huge hoofed feet are like a demon. He is looking at Fandral Staghelm with sinister and bewitching eyes.

"How about it?" Seeing that Lu Helmet was silent, he couldn't help but urge.

Fandral Staghelm's hands loosened and tightened, and he seemed to be struggling fiercely in his heart, and even his breathing was a little heavy.

But in the end he shook his head and said:

"I have planted the seeds of corruption in the four places as you said. Are you still not satisfied? I will not do anything for you anymore."

More than a thousand years ago, in order to curb the spread of Saronite, Fandral took advantage of Malfurion's sleep in the Emerald Dream, persuaded the Cenarion Council, and planted branches of the World Tree all over the world on his own initiative.

Although the thickest branch they planted in the Grizzly Hills of Northrend touched the source of corruption, the druids had to cut it down sadly and replace it with Andasi, which symbolizes healing and hope. You, renamed Vordrassil to warn yourself,

But generally speaking, it was planted in Ashenvale, Southern Elwynn Forest, Dusk Forest, because the space power of Karazhan had not covered the forest at that time, and it was as sunny as the north, so it was not named Dusk Forest, Feralas and The branches of the world tree in the four places of the Hinterlands are still growing happily, effectively purifying the corruption caused by the Saronite iron veins.

These four towering trees finally had the ability to communicate with the Emerald Dream because they came from Nordrassil.Although the Green Dragon Legion was dissatisfied with the Cenarion Council's self-assertion, they thought its measures were effective, so they did not criticize them more. They also sent some green dragons to guard near the four giant trees together with the night elf druids. , it has been more than a thousand years.

The place where Fandral Staghelm dropped the Seed of Corruption is the four giant trees that connect the Emerald Dream.

The seeds of corrosion corrupted the giant tree in one fell swoop, and the corruption spread to the Emerald Dream, even affecting Ysera, the Green Dragon Queen, who was sleeping there.

At that time, Staghelm was frightened and angry, and he soon came to his senses. However, thinking about his son, he still put all his past responsibilities and concepts of good and evil behind, and watched helplessly as the Green Dragon Queen sent the final force. The powerful green dragon fell into the control of the nightmare

As long as Varastan can return to his side, everything will be worth it.

"I said, as long as you do me one more small favor, you can be reunited with your wife and children."

The corrupted shadow bewitched, and when he stretched out his hand, the power of the shadow that pervaded his body condensed into a foul-smelling seed, "Bury it under the roots of Nordrassil, you know what to do."

Staghelm was immediately furious and shouted: "I will never harm my own people, you despicable monster!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk," the Corrupted Shadow shook his head, "Oh, look at you, you are really righteous. Could it be that the things you did before are not considered as harming your compatriots? Accept your fate. You can't look back, Big Drew. Yi."

"Not at all"

Sterhelm waved his hand irritably, but his arm went straight through the shadow of corruption, causing the shadow of corruption to dissipate into the rolling green mist.

Staghelit regretted his actions. Just when he was about to speak, the shadow of corruption suddenly appeared in front of him, looking down at him condescendingly, "What is it? Don't you think this is self-deception?"

Deer Helmet lowered his head and remained silent, his face turning dark and red.

The Shadow of Corruption smiled strangely, and took another step closer, shining the stinking seeds in front of Staghelm's eyes, "Nordrassil is the World Tree, what can a little corruption do to it? This is just a small I'm just busy, you can't be so insincere, don't forget, this is a deal."

Deer Helm was silent for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and looked directly at the shadow of corruption, gritted his teeth, and said word by word:

"You can never use me as a tool again, monster"

The corrupted shadow curled his lips and retreated into the thick mist.After a while, a young voice suddenly came from the green mist

"Father, Father"

As soon as Staghelm heard this voice, he could no longer stand, and began to search around in panic, calling out: "Where are you Valastan?"

Green mist rolled in, revealing a scene of yellow sand filling the sky.

Elite night elf soldiers stood in formation, glaring at the Qiraji army in the distance.

In the roaring sandstorm, a huge bug-man general with a dark carapace stood in front of the formation, his eyes shining with scarlet light, staring coldly at Fandral Staghelm.

As soon as he saw this scene, Staghelm's heart suddenly became cold. He resisted not to look at the feet of the insect general.

"Father"

Staghelm suddenly opened his eyes, only to see the insect general stretching out his giant claws, grabbing the young night elf prisoner who was kneeling on the ground, and holding him in his hand.

"No no no no"

Deer Helm ran forward like crazy, the turbulent power of nature rushed out of his body, and the sky was full of sparks falling from the sky, carrying a huge force and smashing towards the insect general, one by one thick vines penetrated The ground, wrapped around

For a moment the earth trembled and the entire valley rumbled.

But what does all this have to do with dreams?

"Click"

The giant claws closed, and the night elf captive's body was split in two.

"what"

Staghelm cried hysterically and fell to the ground.Tears poured out of his red eyes uncontrollably, flowing down his face full of grooves and dripping onto the grass.

After a breath, the mist rolled, and the corrupted shadow reappeared, with an expression on his face that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.

"Give it to me," Staghelm said hoarsely, trying his best to get up from the ground and stretched out a hand to the Corrupted Shadow.
