Rise of the blood elves

395【Depressed Guardian】

"What kind of auspicious cloud dragon is that?" A mogu warrior with a scar on his left eye asked angrily, pointing at the starlight dragon Eragon flying downwards several kilometers away.

"There seems to be a person riding on it." Another follower said. This follower was obviously a severely infected person of the curse of flesh and blood. The skin all over his body was mottled, with a piece of rough rock skin and a piece of soft flesh.His bare chest was covered with scars, one after another, and it was unknown how many battles he had experienced.

"Not a mogu. I've never seen anything like it, like this."

He composed his words for a while, "It's like a Jinyu man whose scales were peeled off and painted with a layer of white paint."

The God of Thunder stared for a while, until the Starlight Dragon disappeared into the dense canopy of the forest, then shook his head, stretched out his huge palm and said, "Give me the map."

The scar-eyed warrior immediately fumbled in the package at his waist, took out a roll of badly worn parchment map, and handed it to him.

Thor unfolded the map and looked at it carefully.

This is a map of the Vale of Eternal Blossoms and its surrounding areas. It plots the activities of the major mogu warlords, and also includes illustrations of the settlements of the pandaren, jinyu, and hozens.In particular, it shows the exact location of all the palaces built by the mogu people in the nearby areas to store Titan devices during the period before high-level guardian Lai disappeared. Most of the small dots are marked with "has been completed". "Proven" endnote, and is filled with dense annotations.

Thor raised his head to look at the direction in which the Starlight Dragon disappeared. He traced his finger on the map for a few centimeters and gently touched the end point of the Starlight Dragon's landing trajectory.

There is a dense forest at the foot of the northern mountain of Jinxiu Valley, which has been marked as "empty".

Thor thought for a while and then said: "Let's go over there and have a look."

After that, he walked forward through the thick layer of leaf litter.The two attendants shouldered their salute weapons and stepped to follow.As they moved forward, the bare-chested warrior seemed to want to say something, but hesitated.

"What's the matter, Meng Ao?" Thunder God noticed something strange about his entourage, and asked aloud without stopping.

The bare-chested man known as Meng Ao hesitated and said, "I don't know whether I should say it or not."

"Say." The God of Thunder reached out to push the tree trunk in front of him. The tree trunk was as thick as a human thigh, but he broke it effortlessly and threw it aside.

Meng Ao looked at the scarred-eyed warrior and replied: "Sir, in the past seven years, your footprints have been all over every high mountain in Jinxiu Valley, but..."

He sighed heavily, "We can't find Raiden."

In the mogu language, Laiden means "Master Lai", which is an honorific title for the high-ranking guardian Lai.

Having said this, the terrifying Mogu man looked down at his right arm, with a trace of sadness in his eyes.In the center of the armguard made of fine steel, there is a distinctive clan emblem, which is the symbol of the clan to which Thor belongs, the Mogu clan led by his warlord father who died at the hands of his close ministers.

"We should, we should" Meng Ao gritted his teeth.

We should make a comeback

Seven years ago, the father of the Thunder God, who was in the separatist faction, was betrayed by his close associates and brutally killed.The clan fell apart in an instant and was divided among the other warlords.Almost everyone fled to other clans for refuge. Only a few loyal warriors, such as Meng Ao, remained with the Thunder God.

They expect and long for revenge.They firmly believe that one day Thor can lead them to avenge their shame. He has such ability.Although the Thunder God who has spent his military life is young, he is a famous warrior. Even though he belongs to a weak clan, on the battlefield with his presence, even the three giant warlords who occupy Shuangyue Palace, Seven Stars Palace and Yongchun Terrace are afraid of him.

But Thor did not seek revenge, but led them to wander around this land, looking for the guardian Leiden who had been missing for thousands of years.

why

Meng Ao was full of doubts about Thunder God's decision. He could obviously integrate the scattered clans, gain the support of the clansmen who were still loyal to the First Lord, punish all the traitors, and make a comeback.

This question has been weighing in Meng Ao's heart for seven years, torturing him all the time and making him unhappy.

"Meng Ao, how many years have you followed me?" Thor suddenly asked.

Meng Ao was stunned for a moment and didn't understand why the master would ask this, but he still answered without hesitation: "19 years. It has been 19 years since I was appointed by the First Lord as your personal guard."

"In the past 12 years, you followed me on my expeditions to the north and south, through life and death. You were wounded for me seven times, and you blocked fatal blows for me three times. In the past seven years, you have followed me without complaint, even though I am no longer a I remember the son of a high-ranking warlord." The God of Thunder's voice was very calm, but there was a different kind of deep emotion in it.

Meng Ao couldn't help but pause for a moment.

"After my father died, I have been thinking about what happened to us. In the life-and-death war, in the intrigues of political conflicts, in the constant disputes, we wasted thousands of years. This is A kind of blasphemy. Rather than blaspheming the faith we have long lost, it is better to say it is blaspheming ourselves and the endless potential contained in Mogu's unparalleled majestic body. I am going to find an answer. An end to chaos. , the answer that allows me to bring order to the chaos and correct the path."

In seven years, this was the first time that Thor revealed his true feelings to his men.

There were strange emotions flowing in Meng Ao's heart. He didn't know how to answer, so he could only shake his head and sigh: "Lord Faith, Raiden has been missing for thousands of years. If the master is still there, how could it be?"

The scar-eyed warrior on the side responded: "You are turning a blind eye to the suffering we have suffered."

Thor pushed aside the last bush in front of him and walked out of the forest line.Standing in the beautiful fertile fields under the sun, I looked up at the blazing sun and said softly:

"I firmly believe that all this is a test for the master."

here it is

The forest below is lush and lush, with a thick layer of fallen leaves and natural creatures inhabiting it. It is obviously an inaccessible paradise.

Angmar activated his arcane vision and scanned around in mid-air, his gaze finally fixed on the direction from which the weak aura was coming.But there was just a rock fault caused by the terrain difference, about ten meters high, and a cliff with a few stubborn cliff trees growing on it.

He drove Eragon there, pouring magic into the arcane vision spell regardless of consumption, and finally noticed something strange.

There is an entrance that is hidden by magic.

He jumped off his mount, and after landing, he stood in front of the invisible invisible stance and investigated carefully.If it weren't for the connection between Scales and the high-level guardian Rai, he would never have found it here.

"I have to say that the magic inherited from the Titans still has merit." Xal'atath expressed his true feelings, "So that self-enclosed fool is inside."

"Xal'atath, your arrogance makes me feel helpless." Angmar chuckled and began to remove his invisible stance.

"Should I cry and beg you not to let Len clear me? You can't even wake him up."

Angmar ignored it.

It is indeed not an easy task to wake up Lai from his depression.But he is convinced that he can succeed. If the other party learns of the threats the world is facing, they will never sit idly by.

When Angmar broke the invisibility spell, Eragon let out a long groan, turned into dots of stars, and dissipated in the air.

The mystics under the warlord Qi Fei not only separated Eragon from the defense mechanism of Nalak'sha's engine, but also erased all programming left in the arcane being.Just like controlling the arcane puppet for the first time, although the process was far more complicated than that, the Sunwell essence that Angmar injected into Eragon's body still made him the master of this arcane life form.

Due to his unique life form, Eragon can transform into pure magic power and enter his body.But the way forward was unknown, so he had to leave Eragon outside to prevent any defense mechanism from harming this powerful help he had finally obtained.

After a while, the invisibility spell was declared eliminated, and a palace entrance in the style of Mogu, or in other words, the style of Leiden's creation, appeared on the cliff.After Angmar confirmed that there were no defenses from other agencies, he pushed open the heavy door, walked straight in, and climbed down the sloping stairs.

The passage was filled with the smell of decay, but it was still brightly lit. The magic lamps embedded in the walls emitted a soft light, illuminating the way into the darkness.The spell to keep it clean seemed to have failed. A thick layer of dust had accumulated. Slight footsteps brought up a large amount of dust, causing it to fill the passage like a dragon writhing up and down.

After a long journey, Angmar came to an underground space that looked like a quiet room.

The dome is extremely high, and the walls are engraved with complex runes.In the darkness, a majestic giant with physical features like Loken quietly knelt on one knee and stared at the ground.If it weren't for those twinkling eyes that illuminated the surroundings, it would have been difficult to find this behemoth in the stagnant darkness.

He was motionless, his head and shoulders were covered with dust, and he didn't know how many centuries he had been in this position.

Xal'atath uncharacteristically said nothing.

"Are you afraid?" Angmar asked provocatively in his heart, but Xal'atath did not respond.

He took a few steps forward and said loudly: "Dear senior guardian Lai, I'm here to seek your help."

The majestic giant in the darkness remained motionless.

Angmar frowned. In order to avoid being rude, he kept a distance of tens of meters. He walked around the hall, turned to the front of Lai, saluted and said:

"Lei, I'm here to get help."

The majestic giant still remained silent.

Instead, Xal'atath's gloating voice sounded from the bottom of his heart: "Ha, he ignored you."

Angmar gritted his teeth, stretched out his right hand, opened his palm, and showed the Nozdormu scales integrated with his palm to the rock giant in the distance.He believed that this scale would definitely attract the opponent's attention, because Nozdormu's blessing, like Rai, also came from the Titan Aman'Thul.The process of receiving the infusion of Titan power was also presided over by Rai himself.

"I recognize this power, mortal, where did you get it?"

Lai slowly raised his head, but his gaze on Angmar's chest suddenly froze. He seemed to have noticed something, and muttered to himself in confusion: "This is a corrupt entity."

Angmar breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

But after a long wait, there was no more news.Lai looked at him for a while, wondering what he was thinking about, or whether he was thinking about nothing at all. His eyes returned to silence, and he lowered his head again, falling into a stagnant silence.

Angmar called out softly in confusion: "Lai"

Len gave him no response.
