Chapter 870

But for any important military installations, defensive outposts and walls will be set up outside the main city, especially during wartime.

The period when Ulduar, the city of Titans, was established happened to be the era when the guardians of the titans were ordered by the titans to form the Iron Legion to fight against the dark empire of the ancient gods. A circular steel wall guards the sacred city, and on both sides of the wall, there are outposts outside Ulduar, or Acropolis.

"In my memory, the Rock Hall is the residence of the earth spirits and one of the breeding grounds for the earth spirits."

In the base camp of the Association of Explorers located in the Snowflow Plain, the female guardian Elonnaya is explaining to everyone in front of her the map of Ulduar engraved on a slate with strange technology in the form of a magical illusion. At the same time, it also tells the story about Ulduar.

"In my time, the earth spirits were the leading shapers of the Thundercast Legion. They were good at using the power of the earth to heal the injuries of the Thundercast soldiers. At the same time, the earth spirits were also powerful spellcasters, and their earth magic was powerful. , and the king of the earth spirit is Urel Stoneheart, who was bestowed with the sacred scepter of creation by the guardians, and what Muradin carried with him was the fragment of the holy hammer of Varannar, which was full of the power of the titans. The scepter completely collapsed with the death of Urel Stoneheart."

Elonaya sighed very humanely:

"In short, tens of thousands of years ago, when I left Ulduar with the great Tyr, the earthen should still be living in the rock hall. During the rebellion set off by the traitor Loken, his Thundercast soldiers tried to attack I tried to enter the rock hall, but failed repeatedly, and I don’t know what happened to those earth spirits now.”

"In other words, the Hall of Rocks is the origin of the earth spirits and dwarves?"

Brian's small eyes radiated light, and he asked seriously:

"Then the great ancestor Elonaia, do you think we can find the secret about the origin of the dwarves in it?"

"Bronzan, I've said it many times."

Elonaya explained helplessly:

"The dwarves are the life that the earth spirit evolved after suffering the curse of flesh and blood. You originate from the earth spirit. I have described the story of the earth spirit to you many times. I can only tell you that in the deepest part of the rock hall, there is A Titan engine that can generate earthen, but even if you master that engine, you can only produce pure earthen and not dwarves... In fact, the transformation of your flesh and blood is irreversible."

"I don't want you to use the engine of the earth for war... In my opinion, the war between you and the undead is completely meaningless, it's just stupid internal friction."

"That's our business, Your Excellency Elonaia, Ironforge must be taken back!"

Muradin who was sitting on the other side said in a deep voice:

"Of course we will not force our ancient brothers to join our war, but you also assured us that Ulduar hides technology that can help us win the war..."

"Yes, there are indeed weapons of war you need."

The female guardian Ailonaya said with some reluctance:

"If I remember correctly, in the Hall of Lightning, there should be two fully formed, unactivated Thundercast Legions in the hall's combat readiness warehouse. That is a terrifying force, and in Ulduar's In the front hall, there are also a large number of steel life corps hidden in thousands of storm beacons. They are the army that once defeated the dark empire of the ancient gods head-on. But to be honest, I do not recommend that you go directly to these two places ..."

"The Hall of Lightning is the residence of Loken the Betrayer. If he is still there, it is impossible for you fighters to defeat him. Loken is the guardian of wisdom, and the lightning he summons can easily kill you. Everyone, and you have also seen the map, if you do not open the beacons of the Lightning Hall and the Rock Hall, it is impossible for you to enter the inner city of Ulduar..."

After Elonaya's words fell, Muradin and Bryan glanced at each other, and the dwarf prince of war coughed lightly:

"So, you mean to suggest that we go to the Hall of Rocks first?"

"Yes!"

The female guardian did not hide her expectation, she said frankly:

"First of all, there is an ancient court inside the Hall of Rocks that is responsible for managing the authority of all Titan creations. If it can pass the test of the court, then Bronzan's Titan creation authority will be raised again, which means that Bronzan can Before entering the Lightning Hall, use the Titan console in the Rock Hall to remotely lock the activation authority of the Thundercast Legion inside the Lightning Hall, so that Loken the Betrayer can only fight you alone."

"Secondly, I remember that you encountered some local earth spirit descendants at the border of Xueliu Plain not long ago, and you said that they were unwilling to contact you. I think this is probably because of the curse of flesh and blood on you, but if Braum Zan can pass the test of the ancient court, then those earth spirits will probably stand by your side, that is to say, when you enter Ulduar, you will have an extra support army."

"The last is my personal needs."

Elonaya's magic phantom waved its arms:

"My body has been broken for too long, and in the inner sanctum of the rock hall, there should be a few backup bodies of female guardians to carry my thinking core. I have had enough of the bad feeling of not having a body."

The female guardian's voice became low, with a hint of murderous intent in it:

"20,000 years ago, the traitor Loken killed Tyre, the great guardian of justice, with a disgusting and obscene conspiracy. As Lord Tyre's adjutant, I have the responsibility to avenge Lord Tyre! As a member of the guardian, I It is even more my responsibility to smash the head of that culprit Loken with my own hands!"

Elonaya raised her head, looked at the two dwarves and pandaren in front of her, and said in a deep voice:

"Although I have no interest in your war, Bronzan, and Muradin, if you can help me execute Loken the Betrayer, I will help you awaken the Lightning Hall and the Thundercast Legion in Ulduar... .Then give their command to you, and those two legions are enough to help you regain your own city, but you must promise me in advance that you cannot use this legion for war against other civilizations!"

"no problem!"

Muradin agreed without hesitation, and after Elonaya gave some instructions about the dangers in the rock hall, he retracted his consciousness into the core of consciousness when the magic power of the magic stone diminished.

The conversation between the titan guardian and the two dwarves made Zhou Zhuoting, who was sitting on the side, frowned. Pandaren hate war. He said carefully to the two dwarves:

"Are you going to fight the Dark Blade Legion?"

"Huh? Do you also know the dark blade?"

Muradin glanced at Zhou Zhuo:

"Didn't you just come out of Pandaria?"

"Because Pandaria also has the whereabouts of the Dark Blade Legion!"

Zhou Zhuo explained:

"The bloody battle between our civilization and the mantid was stopped by the undead of the dark blade. They helped us prevent the catastrophe of genocide. Therefore, although the panda people find it difficult to accept the life form of the undead, we still hold the dark blade army. Well-meaning...uh, I have also heard about Ironforge, I am not saying that your war is wrong, but I think these matters can be resolved through negotiation."

"If you don't hurt them, those undead will not sit at the negotiating table."

Muradin's tone was bleak, he gritted his teeth and said:

"Tyrion killed my relatives, and the debt between the Bronzebeard family and him must be paid in blood! Of course, we are not crazy, and we will not recklessly start an all-out war between dwarves and undead. The internal affairs of the Xu family... have nothing to do with the two races, and I will challenge him after I take back Ironforge! Either he dies or I die, and all hatred will end because of this."

"The most important thing now is to control the Hall of Rocks in our hands."

Brian took up the conversation and said:

"War or something, I'll talk about it later, but regarding the Hall of Lightning, Muradin, you have also heard the warning from the ancestors of Elonaya. We dwarves alone cannot fight against that fallen guardian... we need help!"

"Then invite little Arthas, little Varian and that orc Thrall!"

Muradin waved his hand and said loudly:

"Didn't they always want to participate in the "Ulduar" project? Now is the chance... As long as they help us get rid of Loken, after Ulduar is opened, we will share this city with their archaeologists." Valuable knowledge in the city of titans..."

"Of course, all of this will be discussed after we take down the Rock Hall!"

——————————————————————

It was night, on the second team following the route marked on the map, the dwarves headed for the Rock Hall were about to set off. Lorewalker Zhou Zhuo, wearing a thick downy cloak, was guarding the door of a certain room in the base camp nervously. He was sneaky, holding a chandelier in one hand, and looked around from time to time, as if he was doing something bad, and he was afraid that someone would find out.

In the room behind him, the dwarf vampire Ella. Magic Thread is quickly using professional rubbing tools to try to rub the map of Ulduar on the slate. Wearing gum, looking very professional.

And hanging around her slender neck is the latest small camera developed by Heitie District. This thing is an engineering device made of optical principles, and it can turn a complete picture into a magic image in a short time.

"hurry up!"

Zhou Zhuo urged:

"I can already hear Brian shouting, hell, they're looking for me!"

"Don't rush, it will be ready soon."

Ella was carrying on her work impatiently. The dwarf vampire jokingly said to Zhou Zhuo:

"Don't put on a straight face, Fat Panda, think about the good. After this matter is over, you can be an archaeologist with peace of mind. You don't need to do these shameful things anymore. Isn't this your ideal? ?”

"This is not my ideal!"

Zhou Zhuo retorted frantically:

"My ideal is to be a peaceful traveler and travel the world, but now I'm caught in the dwarves' crazy war fantasy. These lunatics actually want to activate the ancient war machines to fight against the undead...Damn! Outside The world is crazy, and I think I should go back to Pandaria and live my life better."

"Ha ha"

Ella let out a joking shrill laugh, she whistled, carefully put the rubbed drawings into her close pocket, and then threw something to Zhou Zhuo:

"This is the real world, fat panda, the peace of Pandaria is just an illusion, in short, welcome to the real Azeroth..."

"This is a small "gift" from the great lord to you. Take it well and throw it on the ground when you encounter danger...Okay, goodbye! My friend...I wish you Adventure all the way!"

After finishing speaking, the vampire disappeared into the darkness, and Zhou Zhuo, who finally breathed a sigh of relief, also packed up his luggage and walked out of the base camp quickly. Brian Bronzebeard was already waiting for him there, and the old dwarf was puzzled. Asked:

"What's the matter? Zhou Zhuo, why are you so slow?"

"I forgot one very important thing."

Zhou Zhuo took out a lifelike sapphire mogu sculpture from his pocket, which looked like a magical item, and he shook it at the old dwarf:

"This little gadget can buy us some time when we are in danger. I feel that this journey may not be so easy."

"It's better to be more prepared."

Brian also replaced his cowboy hat with a very cold-resistant leather hat, wrapped his head tightly, and the dwarf waved to Zhou Zhuo:

"Let's go, get on the drilling machine, the outpost has found the entrance to the rock hall, let's go and have a look at that place first."

And Muradin, who was wearing heavy armor and a full-face horned helmet, was also standing at the entrance of the drilling machine. This bold dwarf warrior was assigning tasks to others:

"After entering that place, I will take Your Excellency Elonaia directly to the inner hall. I will act alone, you don't need to worry, the rest will follow Brian and escort him to the area of ​​the ancient court. After all this, we gather at the deepest part of the rock hall... everyone must pay attention to safety, and if things don't go well, retreat to the entrance!"

"What we are going to explore is a mysterious and dangerous Titan ruins, you all know that place represents mystery, and you are all the most professional members of the Explorers' Association, not those second-rate tomb robbers, so remember, Don't touch anything that looks weird! Curb your curiosity, understand?"
