Chapter 822 21. The Pandaren Legend. The End of the Mist Age (Part 1)
"Captain, we have lost our course..."
On a stormy night in the South China Sea, Captain Anthony Iron Horn stood in the crew's cabin with a livid face. His captain's cabin was given up to a few "little distinguished guests", so he could only squeeze with the crew first, but Fortunately, there are enough storage rooms on the large merchant ships of the Dark Blade Consortium, so you can pack one up and stay temporarily.
But this is not the reason why Captain Iron Horn is in a bad mood. Under the swaying light, a chart of the nearby sea area is placed in front of Captain Anthony and the first officer. According to the experience of the old sea dogs on the route, they don’t need charts at all, and they can even drive the boat back to the treasure coast with their eyes closed, but now the problem lies here.
The sudden storm stopped, but during that damn storm, the ship was "sent" to a weird place.
"Have you seen your surroundings? Have you ever been to this place?"
Anthony Iron Horn looked at the sea chart in front of him, a feeling of irritability was affecting him, making the blood red in his eyes jump even more. He looked back at his first mate, a tall old tauren sea dog, The latter shook his head in frustration.
"Dry!"
The captain punched the chart in front of him, gritted his teeth and asked:
"The most important thing is that we have been going back and forth on the South China Sea route for almost 5 years! Why have we never heard about this sea area? Did it appear out of thin air?"
No one answered in the cabin. There are no rookie sailors on this merchant ship. These sailors wearing the sailor suits of the Dark Blade Consortium are well aware of the terrible end of getting lost in the storm. The atmosphere in the cabin was a little stagnant for a while.
A few minutes later, the second officer on the ship, a rare werewolf sailor, seemed to remember something. He looked around, lowered his voice, and said to Captain Anthony Iron Horn:
"No! It didn't appear out of thin air, Captain, do you remember that there is a legend about a fog of devils in the South China Sea... It is said that any ship caught in that fog will..."
"enough!"
Tie Jiao interrupted the second officer's words loudly. At this moment, these words are not impossible to say, but they must not be said in front of the already flustered sailors. Checked the night watch of the sailors, told everyone not to worry, and ordered other sailors to rest.
Anthony winked at the first mate and the second mate, and the three shared slightly wet cigars, discussing in low voices on the edge of the deck.

On the other hand, the brats don't care about the fate of the ship. Even if they really lost their way, as long as Dornan is still there, a relaxed and happy astral teleportation can solve all problems, so they are still leisurely Listen to Lili, the little panda in front of you, telling her own story.
It's a fascinating story, to be honest.
"We, uh, I mean, panda people like me, live on the Wandering Isle."
Lili was holding a cup of tea, sitting cross-legged on a chair and telling the story of her and the Wandering Isle, and surrounded by children of all sizes, it was like having a tea party. Frankly speaking, Lili did not I don't hate this atmosphere, it even reminded her of those little bean dings in the private school when she was on the Wandering Isle, they also listened to her bragging like this.
"The Wandering Isle? Is that an island?"
Dornan, who was listening to the story while maintaining the soul link, blinked. She looked curiously at the weird hairpin on Lili's head, which was made of wooden chisels. Girls like such gadgets.
"Yes! I am also very puzzled by this!"
Taelia also frowned and asked:
"Old Chen once told me that every generation of you pandaren has Jiuxian who travels abroad. I also checked the information in the library of Stormwind City. You have left legends about pandaren all over the world. In the past For hundreds of years, explorers of many other races have tried to find the location of the Wandering Isle...but they all failed, so many people say that pandaren do not exist, it is just a fantasy story like witches."
"How on earth did you hide yourself?"
Facing Dornan's and Talia's questions, Lili smiled and took a sip of tea before revealing the secret:
"The Wandering Isle is indeed an island. It is in the endless sea, but it is not an ordinary island. Unless we are willing, no one can find it, and no one can disturb the pandaren's life."
Lili paused, and this eloquent little panda emphasized her tone:
"Because The Wandering Isle is a pandaren city built behind the great Shen-zin Zi!"
"Shen-zinko with infinite power carries it constantly roaming in the boundless sea, and the mist created by the mist masters will cover Shen-zinko's huge body. When Shen-zinko is advancing on the sea, you can see Come on, that is a cloud of fog on the sea, any explorer who enters it without authorization will get lost in the fog, and will be sent out by the fog masters without anyone noticing."
"What is Shen-zin Zi?"
Anduin, the melon-eating little brother, threw the cantaloupe rind he gnawed into the trash can. He waved his hands and asked enthusiastically:
"A monstrous rock giant, I suppose, carrying your island on strong shoulders and arms! It's at least 200 yards tall! No no no! 500 yards!"
"No!"
Li Li squinted her eyes, she was ready to startle the group of new friends, just like those friends of other races who had heard the story of Shen-zin Zi in the past had a very changed expression.
"Shin-zinko is a sea turtle...a sea turtle that has lived for 800 years! Its body is bigger than the largest island in the South China Sea. Mountains, waterfalls, lakes and rivers grow out of its hard carapace. I followed the great wanderer Liu Lang back and forth between Pandaria, the hometown of Pandaren, and the outside world several times, until Master Liu Lang and his wife Xin Ci died of old age, and the soul of the master merged with Shen-zin Zi..."
"Since then, Shen-zin Zi has never returned to Pandaria, maybe it is also mourning the death of Master Liu Lang...We live there, living on Shen-zin Zi's carapace, Master Shang Xi said, Misty The pandaren on Zing Island are the bravest and most adventurous group of pandaren in Pandaria, unfortunately..."
Speaking of this, Lili's mood also became sad:
"It's a pity we can never go back to our real home again."
All the children were stunned, because no one could imagine how big a giant turtle would be carrying an island roaming in the endless sea... The children had seen the terrible gronn in Draenor, and the huge giant Dragon, but they still can't imagine that kind of scene.
The one who finally broke the silence was Lord Yuna, the little ghost riding on the brave spirit deer lying on the ground. Yuna scratched her cheek with her fingers and made a face at Lili:
"Blow it! Blow it! Don't be ashamed! There are no turtles that big! I've never seen one in Argus! You're bragging!"
"I'm not bragging!"
After all, Lili is still a child at heart. She put down her teacup and shouted to Yuna:
"The people of the Stormstout family never lie!"
"I don't believe it! Anyway, I just don't believe it!"
Yuna folded her arms vividly, with her small face turned aside, she was as angry at Lili as a child, because when Lili hit her for the first time, it hurt so much.
"good!"
Lili took out the orb the size of a human head from the silk pocket beside her, and put it on the table carefully, she said to Yuna:
"Then I'll show you Shen-zin Zi... With the help of the Pandaria Orb, you can see all the stories related to the pandaren! Come here, gather around!"
Lili beckoned the other children to sit with her on the soft bed, holding the orb in her hand, amidst the emerald green haze that was the signature of the monk, the orb in Lili's paw was like a Like Hong Qingquan, a clear picture is reflected.
This kind of magic projection-like thing made the children exclaim. While calling for the power of the orb, Lili explained to the other children:
"I found it in the Buddhist scripture pavilion of Wuchen Temple. Except for high-ranking monks, no one else can enter that place, but I always sneak in through the window, and Master Shang Xi didn't stop me. I found it in the hidden compartment behind a pile of ancient scriptures. It is said that it is a treasure left by Master Liu Lang. It was brought out from his hometown, a place called Valley of the Four Winds. It is said that it can help panda people find own place of origin."
"But this thing can only help us see two places, either Pandaria or the Wandering Isle, and we can't see a third place."
Lili pursed her lips regretfully:
"Otherwise, I would have found Uncle Chen a long time ago, so I wouldn't have to hide like this. God, I only found out that the captain of this ship is a terrible vampire after I sneaked onto the ship. I didn't dare to go out to find food for fear of being killed." He grabbed and sucked blood."
"You should call them Blood Race!"
Vanessa, who reached out and hugged the furry Lili, corrected:
"That is their official race name in the Federation, and Captain Iron Horn is an orthodox blood race. As long as they obey the federal laws, they can receive enough blood to survive each month, and there is no need to risk being discovered by the sheriff. The risk of stealing and hunting, the blood race is not evil, don't be blinded by the appearance, cute little Lili..."
"is that so?"
Lili scratched her head, she said:
"But Uncle Chen warned me to stay away from those vampires last time, forget it, never mind, I found it, let's show you Shen-zin Zi!"
Accompanied by Lili's call, the picture in the orb in front of her eyes quickly flowed, and the next moment, it was as if the scenery from the first perspective was suddenly shrunk many times. Turtles appeared in their eyes.
It was under a quiet night, and under the faint starlight, Shen-zinko, carrying an island on her back, paddled the water with four huge flippers, and with each slide, a huge amount of sea water was diverted to Behind him, under the understatement of that terrifying power, on the island behind the tortoise shell, among the spreading mountains, there is a piece of bright lights in the world, which fully proves that Lili is not lying.
The Wandering Isle is indeed behind a giant turtle, and there are many pandaren living there.
"This... unbelievable!"
Vanessa and Taelia looked at each other, and they both saw the shock in each other's eyes, and Dornan couldn't help but read a song of elements. Xerath still knows too little about everything. How many secrets are hidden in this world that they don't know?
And Shen-zinko, who was paddling easily, seemed to feel that someone was "watching" it. This huge sea turtle raised its head from the water, opened its eyes towards the children, and then let out a burst of noise. There was a roar like muffled thunder.
It's like communicating with the user of the Pandaria Orb.
"Yeah! Yah!"
The little ghost who looked at the picture attentively was taken aback, but at this moment Yuna was a little weirdly silent, until Lili blinked her big eyes and looked at her, the little ghost lowered his head, hooked his fingers, Some are embarrassed to say:
"Okay, I was wrong...I apologize for my ignorance and arrogance...you little panda who hurts people."
"It's okay, I forgive you."
Lili waved her paw generously, which means she doesn't mind, and Lili is also very happy to see her new friends being convinced by her. She sat cross-legged there, and began to change the perspective of the Pandaria Orb. whispered:
"Let's look at Pandaria again. It's much more lively than the Wandering Isle. There are so many pandaren there that I can't even count them. They built huge cities and temples there. It's very beautiful... Hey! What's going on? Why can't I see it?"
Lili's voice became a little anxious. The child looked at the orb in her hand. The original vivid picture was now only a pale halo like mist. No matter how Lili called, the orb could no longer be displayed. The mysterious home of the Pandaren, Pandaria, is here.
"You! You broke my orb!"
Lili shouted to the innocent Yuna angrily, but Dornan stopped her.
"No! Lili, Yuna didn't break it!"
The shaman girl said to Lili seriously:
"I remember very clearly. When Yuna brought you and the orb back, there was still a blurry picture on the orb. Yuna also said that she saw a "Kingdom of the Fat Bear Man" in the orb, which must be Pandali Ya's pandaren city, she didn't break your orb..."
The assassin lady's eyes fell on the orb, and she said thoughtfully:
"Since it was still usable 20 minutes ago, but it can't be used now, it means...in the past 20 minutes, something we don't know, but can affect this orb...happened. "
Vanessa's eyes narrowed, and after a while, she looked at Dornan:
"Is the astral teleportation still available?"
The shaman girl shook her head:
"Just like this orb, it was fine 20 minutes ago. Now, the space seems to be isolated by some kind of force. I can feel that the elements are still active, but it is impossible to teleport back to the territory of the Federation. There is a "gate" Blocking them, they can only teleport in the other direction."
The bad news made Vanessa rub her forehead, and she looked at the warrior girl again:
"Little Taelia, it's obvious we're stuck here, so can I trouble you to bring Captain Ironhorn over here?"
"We might need to ask him something..."
