Azeroth Shadow Trail

  Chapter 153 61. Buried deep in the sand of the millennium (Part 2)--Additional updates for all brothers [25]

  Blake's tone was rude.

The    words directly said that the devout serpents had misunderstood the last oracle left by their gods. For a group of mad believers who lived by faith, this kind of accusation was simply unbearable.

   The key is the tone of voice when the pirates speak.

   He is not deliberately provocative, he really thinks that the snake people have insisted on the inheritance for thousands of years, and the divisions and sacrifices paid for this are all wrong.

   This is hard to accept.

   also caused real anger to shine from the snake pupils of the prophet Warwick, who had always been calm in his voice. The old snake man clasped his broken snake staff and looked at Black with a cold look.

   After a few seconds of confrontation, it flicked its tail, and the dazzling arc sparks swayed from the lightning lin on its body, and said to the pirate:

"yes?

  You accuse us of our loyalty to the gods so arrogantly. I think you must have a high opinion. I am all ears, outsider! But if you dare to speak blasphemy in this sacred place again

  Then I will take the place of Setaris and execute the lightning sentence!

  Don't think that Bwonsamdi's power can protect you thugs from rampaging this holy place belonging to the mysterious mistress. When the **** I serve is angry, it is no weaker than that **** of death! "

   "But Sethralus is dead. The Loa, who had great power, kindness and a strong sense of justice, died thousands of years ago."

  The pirate shrugged, not at all cowardly facing the threat of the old snake man.

   He crossed his arms and said to Garona next to him:

   "Take out the spirit lamp, our old friend Merry, who has been searching for the dark secrets hidden under the Waldun desert for nearly ten thousand years, Akunda told him something.

   But Akunda migrated after Wharton became a great desert, and the Thunder Lizard didn't know what happened here.

   Today, I will reveal to Merry the ultimate secret in this great desert. "

  Garona took out the lantern she carried with her from her magic bag, and Blake left a bit of Bwonsamdi's death mojo on it to bind the Nathrezim demons in it.

  Merry Winterwind can still perceive information from the outside world. As soon as the soul-inducing lamp is taken out, the figure of the old mage will appear from the light intertwined with scarlet and blue.

   His demeanor looked pretty good, he should have suppressed Kasanatiel's "rebellion" in the Soul Lamp.

  Garona whispered to Merry Winterwind's soul about the current situation, the old mage nodded, and floated on the lamp in an illusory posture, acting like a "low-profile" lamp god.

   He is also preparing to hear the ultimate secret of the Great Desert of Wharton.

   He was really interested in it.

  Akunda told him that Wharton became what he is because of a catastrophe related to the **** Loa worshipped by the snake people thousands of years ago.

   But about the catastrophe itself, Akunda also had hearsay.

   That Thunder Lizard is lazy and has no power to act on things that he is not interested in.

   And it didn't originally live in Wharton.

   It's an outsider loa.

   As we all know, there will be some small gaps and regional discrimination between locals and outsiders anywhere.

   Snake people never go to Akunda Temple.

  So Akunda didn't know the secrets that only snake people knew, mainly because he didn't care about them, he was just a thunder lizard after all.

   All the spectators were in their places, and the old snake man also sat cross-legged in front of the keystone he guarded.

  The pirate cleared his throat and strolled to the edge of the second floor of the temple. Amid the sound of the sea waves not far away, he looked at the quiet scenery of the Wharton Desert at night.

He says:

   "Thousands of years ago, to be precise, 10,000 years ago, after the end of the ancient war that split the world apart, Zandalar Island was separated from the main continent and became a small continent hanging in the South China Sea.

   Fortunately, the Zandalar trolls suffered heavy losses in that disaster, and they survived.

  Unfortunately, they don't know what lies beneath their sanctuary.

   At that time, Zandalar was a land of abundance. Today, the Great Desert of Vol'dun is also a lush, thriving forest, home to snake people and Zandalari trolls.

  Mysterious mistress Sethraliss sheltered the land until some dark visitors quietly set foot on the shores of Zandalar.

  Those creatures of the abyss, awakened by the Great Sundering, smelled the dark power beneath Zandalar, and they sought to awaken it in order to rebuild their dark empire.

   At that time, Lord Warwick had not yet been born. "

  Black glanced at the old snake man prophet, who snorted disdainfully, but still patiently listened to the outsider in front of him, telling the story of nearly ten thousand years ago.

   "Mythrax the Dismantler"

  The pirate once again used the words of the void to say the forbidden name, which once again caused a chill in the temple, and the old prophet glanced around nervously.

   But this time, it didn't stop Black from going on.

   "The appearance of the mighty Faceless General stemmed from the summons of the darkness lurking in Zandalar, it may belong to the Demon of Thousand Throats, or it may belong to the Demon of Thousand Eyes.

It is also possible that    comes from G'huun's dark powers.

  No one really knows the true origin of the mighty Krasis.

  It just appeared, it entered Vol'dun, and in a single day slaughtered tens of thousands of serpent-men and trolls, turning them into servants of darkness.

   It came to Wharton for a very simple purpose.

   is to break the seal set by the guardians of the Titans in this jungle, release the sixth ancient **** G'huun, and destroy the world.

   Well, I know the three of you have a hard time understanding some of these terms.

   Don't worry, I'll explain a little bit later. "

  Blake glanced at the expressions of the three listeners, made a patient gesture, and continued:

   "Mythrax's appearance immediately caught the attention of the mysterious mistress. As I said, this Loa is a rare good Loa full of benevolence, justice and sheltering will among all Loa.

   She is many times better than bad guys like Bwonsamdi, and she is the kind of 'god' that I would really appreciate.

   Then, everything is as recorded in the ancient story of the Snake Man.

   Sethralus fought the dark Mythrax in the jungle of Vol'dun, their battle destroyed half of Vol'dun, but not enough to make Vol'dun what he is today.

  Wal'dun became so savage because Setaris lost."

  The pirate glanced at Warwick, the serpent-man prophet.

   The latter's expression was bleak, and it was obvious that Black was right.

   "The mysterious mistress failed to prevent the dismantler from destroying the center of Wharton, the great pyramid called Atu Aman, which belonged to the disc seal left by the guardians of the Titans.

   At the moment when the seal was destroyed, the power of creation poured out from the seal, permanently and completely changing the environment of Wharton. The disaster started from that day.

  Uh, in addition, the fox civilization should have been born in the surging power of creation that day.

   But Setaris didn't lose completely.

  The courageous and mysterious Mistress was furious when she saw the seal being broken, and she launched her final attack, perishing with the mighty Creature of the Abyss.

   After her body in the material world was destroyed, Sethralus was summoned from the shadow world, and before she left the material world, she sent an oracle to her most loyal priest, Sursis.

   is the oracle that the devout serpent people have passed down for thousands of years.

  Guard Wharton, guard the world.

Am i right? Warwick Prophet? "

  The pirate asked a question, the old prophet of the snake man nodded, he glanced at the blue keystone emitting thunder light behind him, and said in a heavy tone:

   "Lord Sursis, the first oracle prophet in the serpent civilization, and also the mentor to me and Kotek, he is a serpent with divine power.

   It witnessed the war between the gods and the darkness, and after the fall of Setaris, it was also that it found that the corpse of the dark thing had no trace of decay in a hundred years.

   It suspects that this dark thing will be resurrected one day, so it summons us, and uses the divine power left by Sethralus to seal the dark thing under the ruins of Atu Aman.

  The three keystones were also made at that time.

   My great teacher who taught me and my people faith and strength.

  It sticks to the desolate ruins of Atu Aman all its life, and believes in the creed of the mysterious mistress all its life, hoping that the snake people will unite and protect this desert.

  Unfortunately, it died a hundred years ago, in the shameless betrayal of Kotek.

  The unbeliever is tired of peace, and he plans to use the power of darkness that he has resisted for the first half of his life to his advantage and conquer the world.”

   "But I think your gods did not tell you a cruel truth before dying."

  The pirate put his hands on his back and said coldly:

   "What Sethralus did to knock down was nothing but the powerful servants of the ancient and old gods, those abyss creatures are so powerful.

   Sending just one general is enough to kill the Loa.

  The horror of their masters, the gods of the abyss, is evident from this.

   Under the land of Zandalar, there is such a **** of the abyss.

   In the entire range of Azeroth, there are six such gods of the abyss! Faceless generals like Dismantler Mythrax are even more numerous.

   They don't appear now, just because the time hasn't come.

The seals set by the    titan guardians have not been completely corroded, but they are patient enough to wait. After the seal corrodes, the void army of the dark empire will return to the world.

   At that time, it will be up to you snake people, how can you stop it?

  How to protect the world? "

  Blake's voice became cold, and he said:

   "I respect Sethraliss' great sacrifice, but I think she asked you to protect Vol'dun and protect the world are two different actions.

   Her oracle really means:

  While you take good care of the seal of Wharton, go outside the desert, unite all forces that can be united, and be alert to the invasion of those dark things!

  You have only achieved the former, but completely ignored the latter.

   But it's not your fault.

  You are not as omniscient and omnipotent as gods, and this world cannot be saved by the civilization of snake people alone.

   It's not that cheap yet. "

   "The Prophet Warwick."

  Blake stopped and stretched out his hand towards the old snake man in front of him. He said sincerely:

   "After you sealed up that dark thing, you shouldn't have made these three keystones, but you should have destroyed it directly, and buried the faceless general in the desert forever.

   But now that the keystone has appeared, the best way for you to protect it is to take it away from Zandalar forever, as far as possible from this unfortunate land.

   What you protect is something that the ambitious Kotek the Great is bound to acquire.

  It is an arrogant who wants to conquer this land with the power of darkness.

   It's going to release that monster.

  The devout have been weakened to this point, and you can't stop the arrogant ambition of Kotek. "

   He said to the old snake-man:

   "Leave with me, I know you don't believe what I'm saying, and I'll show you the proof soon."

  Blake glanced at the location of the soul lamp.

   He said to the pensive Merry Winterwind:

   "The proof is in the heart of Lordaeron, in the fringing mountains of the Tirisfal region. Yes, Merry, don't show that horrified expression.

  The dark thing buried under the desert of Vol'dun has an identical head with us, but more powerful.

   Human civilization was built on a tomb of monsters powerful enough to kill gods, and we have been sitting on a powder keg. Stupid orcs also tried to take over that place.

   Live next to monsters unimaginable in their worst nightmares.

  The fate of humans and snakes is so similar.

  Although the two have never been in contact, believe me, it is definitely fate to have a group of snake people in my pirate group.”

  The pirate admired the expressions on the faces of his three audience members.

   He laughed, looked at the old snake man in front of him, and said:

   "Then, Prophet Warwick, I gave you a chance to truly fulfill the divine oracle. As a devout believer, what is your answer?"
