Chapter 637 The Seed of Nightmare in the Emerald Dream
For Lorraine, a local, Azeroth's glorious history and complex fate seemed to have little impact on him, a mere necromancer.
His short life was spent living a peaceful life near a farm in the western wilderness, dreaming of becoming a proper mage... He simply crossed an ordinary river and arrived at Duskwood, a town shrouded in black mist all year round. There, he met the Night Watch warriors and received a patrol mission that would earn him a commission.
Following the main force to the border outpost to guard against the ghosts, zombies, and werewolves lurking in the Black Forest, Lorraine, for reasons unknown, was slapped to death against the dilapidated, blood-stained, moss-covered wall of the outpost...
Upon careful recollection, in the chaotic southern region of the Eastern Kingdoms, near the outskirts of Stranglethorn Vale, in the twilight forest divided by a river, there actually stands a magnificent building.
It is said that terrifying creatures from the Green Dragon Legion guard the Dream Gate there.
The so-called Gate to Dreams is the legendary gateway to the Emerald Dreamland, where the final resting place of life and soul is hidden. It is said that all living beings, including mortals and animals, need to sleep because they need to connect their souls with the Emerald Dreamland in order to achieve a harmonious match with life.
The undead are different. They have separated from their bodies and are unwilling to walk among humans with their decaying flesh. This is a violation of the laws of life. They have also broken free from the control of the Emerald Dream and are being manipulated by another world. That is why they wander in the realm of the living in the form of undead creatures.
Long ago, the Fifth Element was born in the legendary Emerald Dreamland.
The source of Druid power, including the life-based backup system, is hidden in the mirror world of the Emerald Dream. Ysera, the green dragon, is the guardian of the Emerald Dream, slumbering within it to maintain the balance of all life and souls.
Humans believe that some mysterious entity controls the secrets of reincarnation, and in the faith of the elves, that entity is nature itself.
Myths, though varied and diverse, all share a common thread: life is a miracle born from the fusion of countless forces and divine power. Even the Creator himself doesn't fully understand the underlying logic of life's operation; these forces are merely experimental and tentative combinations.
The Emerald Dreamland is a testing ground for life.
To be precise, the place where the souls of all things are reborn...
According to Titan legend, the Titan Ionar is the legendary representative of life, order, and the healing power of nature; her power can transform the form of life-bearing planets.
The gift of life is an unimaginable and miraculous power, and the bestowal of a soul is an even greater miracle among divine skills.
She was also the consort of Aman'thul, the Allfather, and together with him, who represented Light, Order, Time, and Life, they gave birth to new Titans. The Sky God created storms and lightning, forging the seas and skies, thus causing elemental life to transform and merge into physical forms...
If the Titan creations are true, they are more like an experiment and modification, crystallizations created by combining various forces with themselves as a blueprint. Although inconspicuous, small, and fragile, they are divine objects produced by the balanced fusion of various forces.
This process is not simply about creating a humanoid creature from mud, stone, or even so-called steel; it requires endowing it with a soul, vision, perception, strength, and intelligence. It also requires various organs such as a heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys. Ultimately, it necessitates activating nerves and blood vessels to drive bodily functions, generate thought, and provide feedback to reality...
......
In the understanding of the Earth's Ring, elements are the revelation and foundation of life. Ancestors respected elemental beings because they were the root of the world and could perceive everything.
To the shamans of the Earth Ring and the druids of the Cenarion Council, magic is more about inducing resonance among various elements.
"The power of wind, rain, thunder, lightning, and indeed all things is hidden here..."
Before his departure, the Crimson Mist Venerable handed Lorraine a simply woven leather pouch, saying it had an important use; it was called the "Six Demon Pouch." The "Six Demon Pouch" seemed to randomly generate a natural force, its power varying in magnitude, depending on luck and whether the user could trigger elemental resonance...
This is one of the sacred objects of the Minotaur, and also a gift bestowed by the White Bull Venerable.
......
Having inexplicably heard another legend and acquired a treasure whose use he didn't know, Lorraine, in a daze, seemed to understand a little of the old ox's intentions. Anyway, they were probably friends...
The tribe's representative, in a cryptic manner, discussed the next course of action with Lorraine.
I don't really understand it, even if I say I do.
Old Bull urged Lorraine to leave quickly and head to Thunder Cliff, where Venerable White Bull was waiting for him.
As for the goblin leader, Lorraine can be taken away, along with the three injured shadow elf druids. They were also witnesses, and what happened here should not be known to the Alliance, much less to the druids of the Cenarion Council.
The Shadow Elves' Moon Sentinels seem to be understaffed because they've focused their efforts on the southern Tanaris desert.
At the edge of the Shifting Sands in Kalimdor, the threat of the Zerg hives forced the Night Elf rulers to concentrate most of their forces there.
One of the purposes of this exploration of the mysterious forbidden land is not only to find out whether the severe damage caused to Azeroth by that ancient explosion over the years has healed.
They also wanted to find the voice of the elemental spirits, and at the same time explore what the trolls had awakened in the Storm Altar...
Historical records state that the trolls were determined to fight the Zerg, but some fools awakened evil beings, including the blood god Hakkar, while other mad trolls awakened the Old God's personal guard, a sleeping Faceless general.
Legend has it that the Faceless General, upon awakening, personally killed the foolish troll who had awakened him, causing the fall of a vast tribe, which was thus cursed.
The dark troll's demise was entirely its own doing...
There is more than one sleeping Faceless General. The trolls awakened in the Eastern Kingdoms were once the Titans who hunted down Tyr, the Lord of Order and Guardian of Titans. They paid a heavy price. The whispers of the Old Gods still echo on the Whispering Coast... enslaving the murlocs and luring the Naga to attack those who approach the coast.
In Kalimdor, the trolls awakened not just ordinary beings, but almost the shadow of the destroyed Dark Empire.
The Aqir's resurgence is also inextricably linked to the trolls' stupidity...
It was also during the protracted war with the insectoids that the trolls' already fragile and bloated ancient civilization disintegrated, with each fighting their own battles... which led to their migration to the vicinity of the Well of Eternity, where they were blessed by the moon goddess Elune and evolved into the Kaldorei Night Elf Empire.
The night elves call themselves the children of the stars, and Kalimdor is the land where the stars shine.
After the subsequent explosions and the Burning Legion's invasion, a hundred thousand years had passed. The night elves no longer acknowledged any connection with the dark trolls, nor did they regard the trolls, who had always threatened the balance of nature, as their own kind. Instead, they saw them as evil, savage monsters.
The Crimson Mist Venerable's team is tasked not only with archaeological research, but also with uncovering the source of the dangerous aura emanating from the Emerald Dream...
The Alliance and the Horde had long noticed the restlessness of the subterranean creatures, but they had difficulty distinguishing between insects and insectoids, cave dwellers and leper gnomes, not to mention the covert machinations of the Twilight Church hidden throughout the world...
The joint investigation team will be here soon. The old druid gave Lorraine a map, showing a shortcut that leads quickly to the underground city. The people and information Lorraine is looking for are there. They need to leave the troll village before Lorraine's strange methods and abilities are discovered!
......
The Red Bull Venerable, oh no, the Red Mist Venerable, the Deer Antler Old Bull Druid, said a lot... At first, Lorraine remained silent and wary. But when he heard that the person Lorraine was looking for was in the Underground City, and had obtained a real map and markers, Lorraine was shocked. This Minotaur seemed to know everything, from the past five hundred years to the future.
Before Lorraine could say anything, the other person had already thought of an answer for him.
Startled, Lorraine even wondered if this guy was the reincarnation of her godfather.
It's fine if they rush you to leave...
Taking three or four prisoners was fine, but letting Old Niu go was a different story. Lorraine couldn't help but wonder, how would you explain the disappearance of your companion to your superiors? I don't want anyone to know my whereabouts...
As a scout, shouldn't the tribe's representative report the truth? Lorraine felt that this old ox wasn't as honest as it seemed... Could it be deliberately lying to survive...?
Faced with the question, Red Bull Master grinned:
"Rest assured, Lord Slanted Eyes, I will say that we were invaded by the Scourge, and they were captured. The rest are in your hands; I trust you will handle them well. However, Lord Slanted Eyes, you must keep your army in check and prevent them from causing trouble in the underground city. We'll see you later..."
After saying that, Red Bull transformed into a large crow, which took flight after a couple of flaps.
Seeing the crows fly away, the goblin Kaz panicked in the distance. "Wait, wait for me! I haven't gotten on the vehicle yet... Take me with you! I don't want to be with the undead! Ah... no..."
