Chapter 931 50. Restarting the Cage
"It's so cold."
With a whimper, the dragon mage Luo Ning, who had just completed a secret mission, came out of the portal. He stepped on the snow on the ground and looked at the Winter Temple that had been completely covered by crystal ice. Here It looked like it should have been a majestic Titan palace. Even through the crystal-clear, glass-like ice of thousands of years, Luo Ning could still see the mysterious picture carved on the palace.
Those murals seem to describe a war... a war between Guardians and Old Gods, and there are many elemental creatures in it.
"Well, this should be the scene describing the battle of the master. Maybe the master of this temple should also be one of the participants in that grand war."
Ronin was carrying the staff of Aluneth Guardian on his back, standing in front of the ice, rubbing his chin while looking at the mural in front of him, behind him, the mages of New Dalaran were nervously arranging a special The anti-cold barrier, according to the warning of Ms. Elonaia, the guardian ally of the coalition forces, stands in the winter temple in front of you, is Hodir, the king of frost and the god of frost giants. The giant guardian of ice magic is an extremely difficult magic user.
That is also the opponent that the mages must solve... and the mages of New Dalaran are also very interested in the guardian magic books stored in the Temple of Winter, and they will not allow others to intervene in it.
"Ronin, you're here too."
A gentle voice sounded behind the dragon mage, causing Ronin to turn his head.
Behind him, amidst the brilliance of the portal, is the Sun King Kael'thas, who is as handsome as the man in the picture, wearing a fiery red phoenix robe and a crown of flames. The Sunstrider is greeting him, accompanied by With the passage of time, the years did not seem to leave marks on Kael'thas, he is still as handsome and gentle as ten years ago.
However, the Sun King has grown a beard in recent years, which makes him look more stable than handsome.
This probably has something to do with the fact that His Majesty Kael'thas had his first child last year. It was the first child of the Sun King and his queen Lannathel, a boy with the orthodox blood of the Sunstrider family. Well, the news of the prince's birth shocked the entire high elf civilization at that time. All civilizations including the night elves sent envoys, even including the federation as far away as the eastern continent.
That was a real happy event, it represented that the rule of the Sunstrider dynasty had once again stabilized, and even the differences between the royal party and the parliament were bridged a lot.
"What an honor, His Majesty Kael'thas!"
Mage Dragon bowed down to the Sun King politely. As an archmage who lived in the wilderness of Feralas all year round, the relationship between Ronin and Kael'thas was still very good.
"I know that Dalaran invited an important person to come to Ulduar to stand for them, but I didn't expect them to invite you... I'm curious, what kind of price those old-fashioned people paid to invite you How about a big man like the Sun King acting for them?"
Ronin's tone of speech was very relaxed, filled with some kind of dissatisfaction with the Dalaran Council of Six, but of course this question was joking, because he already knew from Jaina that the Council of Six re-invited Kyle The news that His Majesty Sass joined Dalaran means that the current Kael'thas Sunstrider may already be one of the members of the Council of Six.
But contrary to Luo Ning's expectations, the Sun King did not hide it, but answered the question very frankly:
"Don't look at me with that look, I know what you're thinking, but I've already declined the invitation from Dalaran, do you really think that a noble Sun King will entrust his fate to a semi-official Is it an organization of nature? No, no, no, the country I really want to protect is there, and my people are there. I declined the invitation of the Council of Six, but I recommended one of my royal archmages to take up the post. In exchange, I have to help Dalaran solve the current trouble."
"Oh? Is it Master Rommath?"
Luo Ning asked with a strange expression:
"If it's Master Romance, then the council of six should welcome it with open arms. Why would you ask you to do something for them...Could it be that you recommended an unknown person?"
"Not really..."
The Sun King noticed the staff on Rhonin's back, which contained low-key but pure power, but its current shape was... well, silly, like a funny sheep's head carved The staff, even under the carved sheep's head on the staff, there is a bell that is so vivid, it's like a child's toy, as if Ronin really chopped off the head of a poor sheep and put it on Hanging from the top of the staff.
This thing seems to be deliberately discrediting Luo Ning's image, but the Sun King is a person who pays attention to his own demeanor after all, so he didn't point out this issue immediately.
"It's Aethas."
"Aethas. Sunreaver? Are you kidding me?"
When Luo Ning heard the name, his eyes widened:
"That second-rate spell-casting bastard has the ability to enter the Council of Six? My God, you are totally humiliating those old-fashioned, no wonder they let you come here to deal with this big trouble...It seems that they are also angry."
"The ability of Mage Aethas, um, is indeed a little lacking."
The Sun King shrugged:
"But he is a very loyal magic guard, I trust him a lot, and I don't need him to do great deeds, I just need him to stay in the council of six as my representative, that's all. Speaking of which, Your staff...let me think about it, it should be called Aluneth Supreme Staff, right? Why did it manifest in such...such a different way?"
"It."
Luo Ning took off the sheep's head staff from behind with a look of displeasure, and swung it in the air. Master Long said very dissatisfied:
"It was forced to obey me, but it was very unwilling to do so, so it deliberately turned into this funny look to laugh at me, or let everyone who saw this staff laugh at me, the staff itself Just a jerk, you know? But it does work."
"Ahem, Your Excellency the two Archmages, the Elder Earthfury, the great shaman of the Clay Council, has arrived. He is asking us, is it possible to open the Temple of Winter and fight Hodir, the God of Frost?"
While the two familiar archmages were chatting, a high-ranking mage from Dalaran asked in a low voice:
"Are you two ready?"
"certainly."
His Majesty the Sun King Kael'thas drew out the legendary long sword with phoenix flames beating from his waist, flicked his fingers lightly on the sword, and amidst the buzzing of the flames, he nodded to the high-ranking mage behind him:
"Open it, I also really want to see how powerful the ancient gods... are."
Behind him, Ronin also followed the Sun King with that funny sheep-headed staff. At the moment when the ice of the Winter Temple was peeled off and slowly opened, Kael'thas suddenly asked:
"I heard, Your Excellency the Archmage Jaina, I feel a little unwell recently? Is the situation serious?"
This question made Luo Ning blink his eyes, and he pretended to be relaxed and said:
"No! It's nothing serious. Jaina is just too tired. She has almost recovered now. She has awakened from the daze of fate. She will return to her home soon, so there is no need to worry about her. "
—————————————————————————————————
In a temple not far from the Greenhouse of Life and the Temple of Winter, which had already become a pot of porridge, Brian Bronzebeard in a helmet and Zhou Zhuo in a bulky body armor led a group of Shado-Pan masters to sneak in , This road is full of all kinds of weird mechanical creations, but for the skilled Shado-Pan masters, such little mechanical creations did not cause too much trouble.
After entering this temple full of mechanical technology, moving gears and dancing sparks, the group of martial arts masters unexpectedly discovered that there was no mad guardian in this empty temple. On the contrary, there was only a Very familiar metal chariot.
"Hey, isn't this the chariot we defeated in the front hall battlefield?"
Brian walked around the more sophisticated and compact chariot a few times. He reached out to take off the helmet, scratched his head, and then looked left and right. Soon, at the edge of this quiet hall, he found A big red button embedded in the metal wall...a button as big as a human head, hard to ignore.
And most importantly, above the red button, there is a line of big characters written in crooked, dog-like Titanic language:
"Don't press this button!"
That line of big characters was like a dazzling warning, but the moment Brian saw this line of words, the uncontrollable curiosity in Brian's heart exploded again. With a one-handed sword, Zhou Zhuo, a traveler who seemed a little afraid, but also a little restless.
"Tell me, what is this button for?"
Zhou Zhuo blinked at Brian beside him, and the old dwarf's fingers jumped, but was soon slapped hard by his other hand. Holding the helmet, he muttered in a low voice:
"I can't press it...don't ask, I can't..."
"swish"
A furry hand was placed on the button, Zhou Zhuo struggled, as if he was persuading himself:
"You see, we are here to save this city of Titans, to kill that ancient god, but the seal cannot be lifted, we must find the owner of this temple, but it is gone now, maybe, just press , it will appear! So, we should press it! The world is waiting for us to save it, we cannot hesitate!"
"Well, what you said seems to make sense."
Brian frowned, and after a while, he also put his hand on the button, and he said to Zhou Zhuo:
"Then let's press it?"
"Um!"
The pandaren nodded, and then emphasized very seriously:
"Just one click!"
"Okay! Just click!"
The dwarf also nodded, and the two took a deep breath at the same time, counting down together:
"3, 2, 1!"
"boom"
The big red button was pressed just like that, just like the start button of a certain mechanism. At the moment the button was pressed, hundreds of injection ports were activated at the same time around the temple, and the scorching energy flames burst into flames. Like a curtain of flames, it enveloped the entire temple, allowing the vigilant pandaren monks to form a defensive formation in an instant.
And at the moment when the entire temple began to roar, a sharp voice sounded in the temple:
"Ah! Didn't I say it all? Don't press that button! Now the whole of Ulduar will explode in 20 minutes! How can I do this experiment!!"
It was a mechanical dwarf with a strange shape that jumped from the air. Its whole body was covered with various precision-operated parts and gear equipment. On its round face, there were two black mechanical eyebrows. And two jewel-like eyes, but although the eyes shone with the light of wisdom, they couldn't ignore the beating chaos in them.
This means that the mind of the guardian of the mechanical dwarf in front of him has also been infected by the power of the ancient god, but from its active and funny actions, it can be seen that it still retains a trace of reason.
Maybe... this Guardian, doesn't need to fight?
"Are you the great mechanical guardian Mimiron?"
Brian stepped forward boldly, looked at the mechanical gnome who was standing on the golden chariot, and said in Titan language:
"Uh, my name is Brian, his name is Zhou Zhuo, we are here to save Ulduar and the world, can you break the seal and let us enter the final hall?"
"Well?"
What the dwarf said made the funny black steel eyebrows of the irritated mechanical gnome guardian rise up. The mechanical gnome stopped the wrench in his hand. It sat cross-legged on the golden chariot. It looked at the flesh and blood creature in front of it. After that, it snapped its fingers loudly with its steel fingers:
"Do you want to purify the corruption? Do you want to save Ulduar? That's good, but do you have the strength? Let me test your wisdom first!"
At the moment when Mimiron's metallic voice fell, a blue light curtain appeared in front of Zhou Zhuo and Brian's eyes. It was filled with various dizzying engineering graphics. Professionals, looking at this thing is like reading a bible.
"Aha!"
Mimiron stood on his golden chariot with his hips akimbo and laughed loudly:
"In 20 minutes, uh, no, 19 minutes, the whole of Ulduar will be blown up under the huge amount of explosives I buried, and you want to save it? It's easy, it's 10 engineering problems , represents a test of your flesh and blood creatures' intelligence, but it is too difficult for your intelligence, so I will lower the standard for you!"
"As long as I can solve one problem within 19 minutes, I will stop the self-explosion program! If you solve two problems, I will teach you the seal runes! If you solve three problems, ah, it must be impossible, but if you If you really do it, I will help you deal with Yogg-Saron!"
"Look! I don't need you guys! I've prepared my ultimate weapon!"
Mimiron proudly patted the golden chariot under him, and the nervous mechanical gnome shouted loudly in a loud voice:
"Worship my invincible invention! Bask in its glory! This is it! The result of my painstaking research for so long! V0-L7R-0N weapon platform! I call it Voltron! This is not for you. ..Yogg-Saron is its real opponent!"
"Now, let's solve the problem! There is not much time left for you!"
Facing the ten questions that were like a bible, the old dwarf rolled his eyes, took out the communicator from the back of his waist, and shouted to the leader of the coalition outside:
"Damn it! Send me that lunatic Hessuo! Quick! And Gelbin Mekkatorque! Let him come too!"
"We only have 18 minutes left! I need the smartest person in the world! Quick!"
