21. The antechamber - the real Ulduar

In the true sense of the word, Ulduar is a mysterious area of completely different regions of time and space, reorganized, overlapped, and arranged together in a way that is difficult for mortals to understand, and they are placed in the city of Ulduar, and together they form the mysterious city of Titans.

The area where the antechamber and the training ground are located are not strictly on the same plane, so it is necessary to use special teleporters all over the interior of Ulduar to achieve fast back and forth, and the Titans who built Ulduar back then have strictly divided these areas into time and space barriers, and even the most powerful magician in the world, the Blue Dragon King Malygos, cannot break this barrier from the inside.

After the blue starlight generated by the teleporter shattered, the figure of the group appeared in the antechamber of Ulduar, which had not been visited for tens of thousands of years, and Dick, who was the first to walk out of the starlight, looked left and right, then crouched down, stretched out his hand, and wiped it on the ground, which was a thick layer of dust and ashes, representing the isolation of this place.

"Sure enough, no matter how magnificent the past is, it can't withstand the ruthless time. ”

The Bronze Dragon King's exclamation was really different, he Shi Shiran walked to the platform next to him, stretched out his hand and wiped it lightly on the platform, the dust sprinkled was mixed with the remains of the ornaments peeling off from the gorgeous wall, his fingers touched a sculpture made of pure gold, just a light touch, the sculpture quickly scattered into a place of golden sand.

Nozdorm is right to feel that this is a place forgotten by time, and although it still maintains the order of the past on the surface, in reality, time has completely destroyed it in the symbol of the regeneration level.

Malygos raised his hand, and with a subtle magic, he brought up a gentle gust of wind, completely peeling off the dust on the ground, and when the heavy dust was gone, the passage of the entire antechamber seemed to have regained its grandeur again, and under the ground was not ordinary earth or steel ground, but a wall of projections composed entirely of starlight, and above everyone's heads, there were not murals or anything else, but the night sky!

The real night sky, the stars are even shining, and it may not be the firmament of Azeroth, but there is no doubt that the Titans and the Guardians have kept a special, different scenery in this special place in their own way, and this magnificent scene forms an unimaginable contrast with the mottled walls on the left and right, worn by time, and it always makes people feel that it is impossible to calm down.

"Well, that wasn't the case here. ”

Azadas, who followed behind Dick, carried the war hammer and said with some silence, "The loyal clan will carefully clean every place here, they always wipe all the dust away before the guardians can react, at that time, I still remember that in the starlight projection, the most qualified elders of the clan personally planned and arranged this place, these sculptures, these murals, they all arranged it with their own hands, at least when I left, this place was still gorgeous like a paradise in mortal mythology." ”

Alonnaya, who was standing with Azadas, was more emotional due to her gender, and she looked at the swirling golden sand at Nozdom's feet, and there was also a trace of loss on her face that could not be concealed,

"In the period after we won the Elemental War, the whole of Ulduar was under the command of Rai and Odin, running as it should, everyone had their own business, even when we were free, we had our own hobbies, I remember, my favorite thing to do back then was to watch the evolution of those species in her laboratory with Mistress Freya, and my good friend Orlea, the guy who always held a book and her cat, would occasionally invite me to sit in her archives, hey...”

Also a woman, Queen Ysera put her hand on the shoulder of the depressed Elonnaya, and as a comfort, the Red Dragon Queen also patted her on the back and whispered,

"We received a gift from the Great Titan in Ulduar, and we have met Lord Freya and Lady Orlea, but we have never met you, since you have survived the disaster of the Old Gods, then Lady Orlia should be safe and sound, and I am sure you will meet her soon. ”

Elonnaya nodded a little apprehensively, then shook his head again, and said very contradictory,

"I don't know if I should expect it or not, but if Orria really has been... I really can't fight her with a weapon, or even kill her with my own hands... Titans are on top, why should we suffer such a fate!"

"You can rest assured on that. ”

Dick stepped forward with the heavy sword of order on his back, and in front of everyone, there was a tall staircase that spread upward, on both sides of the staircase, special instruments used starlight projections to display all kinds of stories and legends, just like the murals that were left in the mortal ruins, recording mythological stories, the protagonists of the projections, most of them were warriors in the battle of the elements, they used all kinds of weapons, and all kinds of opponents were fighting, these special projections were everywhere in the entire front hall, and these special decorations also added a special flavor to this prosperous place。

The paladin held the rune stone that Ignis gave him in his hand and said to Elonnaya, "Orlea, like you, belongs to the middle level of guardians, as long as she is alive, with permission, I can remove her corrosion, and I will definitely not kill her, so you better cheer up, Aronnaya, there are more dangerous things here, if you don't want to get lost in chaos, you better not think about those bad things!"

After speaking, he turned his head to the Dragon King and his companions standing behind him and said, "Although I have temporarily strengthened the blockade of the deepest prison, Yugsaron's mind may break through at any time, it is a fully embodied ancient god, not a defective product like Cthun, so if anyone feels that their thinking is confused, they must exit the confines of the front hall as soon as possible..."

"Don't worry, Dick. ”

Nozdom stepped forward, a special container was fixed on his left shoulder, in which the sands of time kept flowing back and forth, symbolizing the cycle of time, his narrow eyes shone with a special light, he patted Dick's shoulder, "The power of the Titans flows in our bodies, we are not as fragile as you think, Yugsaron can't break our sanity yet, but like you said, we better fight quickly." ”

"Hmm!"

The paladin nodded, and he looked at the silent Heimdall,

"Then Gatekeeper, bother you and the Valkyries to go to the Iron Council Chamber, where the commander of the Iron Legion is there, control or kill them! Leaving mortals in Ulduar is a risky time, we must first stabilize the war on the front line and send them out first!"

"Okay, leave it to us!"

Heimdall led El and the Valkyries to the left of the antechamber, and the dragonlords and guardians behind Dickdo waved,

"Follow me, companions, and we'll go rescue the High Guardians first. ”

Everyone climbed the stairs, and just as Dick stepped on the last step of the stairs, the entire front hall began to roar, and Azadas raised the war hammer in his hand for the first time, and after returning to Ulduar, he was replenished by his strength, and the strength of this weak guardian was rapidly recovering, and Elonnaya also summoned his own rock sword at the first time and guarded Dick's side.

"Boom, boom!"

All the dragon kings were also ready for battle, and the next moment, the road that turned into steel again in front of everyone's eyes was broken by an unimaginable force from below, and the fragments scattered everywhere flew out in all directions, Dick's left hand drew the heavy sword of order, and swept twice, completely emptying the eyes, and when the shaking of the ground subsided, in front of everyone's eyes, a giant stone giant with only the upper body exposed appeared there, even if only the upper body was exposed to the ground, the distance from the waist to the top of the head was nearly 20 meters.

If you stand on the ground, this is probably a behemoth that is more than 40 meters tall.

Its body is made up of pieces of hard granite, its face is carved into the faces of the guardians, its eyes are shining with a burning gaze, it is obviously an offensive weapon, and its arms are thick and huge, like the largest hammer, even if it is hammered, it can completely destroy a house, just from his shape, it can be seen that this thing must be good at brute force attacks, and the most dangerous kind.

"What the hell is this?"

Azadas clenched the stone-bombing hammer in his hand and shouted, "There was no such thing here! When did it appear?"

"Okay! don't be nervous! ”

Dick raised the rune stone in his hand and strode forward, "This is the guardian giant made by Cologarn, Ignis at the request of Loken, I have a way to control it, don't be nervous! Don't make an attack, this thing is tricky!"

After speaking, the paladin poured the power of order in his body into the rune stone in his hand, and special runes lingered on the surface of the gray-white stone, Collogarn, even the giant stone man in front of him seemed to have received some kind of order, the burning energy rolling in his eyes slowly faded, and then under Dick's order, he put his arms on the platform.

"Bang, bang. ”

With two loud bangs, two "bridges" appeared, and after the light in Cologarn's eyes completely disappeared, the paladin put away the rune stone, strode on Cologarn's left arm, and then climbed all the way, finally standing on the shoulders of this giant, and waved his hand to everyone,

"Come on, guys, we're pressed for time!"

However, behind what he did not notice, in the darkness not far from Cologarn's shoulder, two red rays of light suddenly appeared, and then six sharp rays of sharp edges, mercilessly, slashed from behind Dick's back and towards Dick's neck in the posture of a predator.

All he could see was the stone-bombing battle axe thrown by Azadas, and the screams of Elonnaya,

"Watch your back! Dick!"

At the very moment of Dick's attack, on the other side of the Frontrooms, Heimdall and Al also fought with the Council of Steel.

The Valkyrie Guards who followed them were in the passage of the antechamber, fighting with the elites of the Iron Legion, when Heimdall, who was already impatient, cut the Steel Viku in front of him in half with a single sword, and after merging with the El with the holy light surging all over his body, he flew into it, completely smashing open the closed door of the Steel Council Hall.

"Bang Dang"

The cast-iron gate was smashed into four pieces and flew out in four directions, Heimdall stood still, and then he saw three figures in front of him, a steel dwarf with a dazzling thunder all over his body, he was wearing a robe, holding a steel scepter in his hand, a steel viku man holding a sword and shield, his whole body was surrounded by hard armor, and finally there was a tall steel giant with nothing in his hands, but the memories of the past told Heimdall that this giant was the most dangerous.

Seeing Heimdall and El break into the Hall of Steel, the three leaders of the Iron Legion, who also represent the commanders of the three soldiers of the Iron Legion, spoke one by one.

The Iron Giant moved his hands and stepped forward, his crimson eyes full of disdain and cruelty,

Heimdall, our brother... Do you think you can defeat the Iron Council so easily?

The Iron Viku man threw the sword and shield in his hand in boredom, as if he was not facing a powerful opponent, but a small person who could be strangled to death at will, his voice was just like his posture, arrogant and arrogant.

"Ah, let the Rune Master tell you, Heimdall, we are no longer who we used to be, and destruction will never be satisfied with halfway!

The last concluding remarks were made by the shortest steel dwarf, his left hand slashed in the air, and a dazzling electric spark connected from the tip of the steel scepter in his hand to his palm, forming a bridge of thunder and lightning above his head, but his voice was as cold as a storm in the North, and the words were like knives.

"Stand firm, foolish Heimdall, and behold this great light... We will roll up storm clouds and tilt the sky for the death you want!"

The electric light on the dwarf's body shone brighter, and the sound became more and more grandiose, and finally it was like a thunderstorm in the sky,

"It doesn't matter what it is, Odin's greatest mosquito or Odin's greatest warrior, in the face of the nascent Iron Council, you will only have one identity!

Heimdall turned his head and looked at Al for a moment, then rubbed his forehead helplessly, and held the Storm Sword in front of him,

"I haven't seen you for tens of thousands of years, Morkim and Brundier, and that big man of steelbreaker, you are still so arrogant, so disgusting! You and I both know that you have the key to the observatory in your hands, let's discuss it, give me that data card, and I will beat you lightly!"

"You're not the same you are anymore, but I'm still the same me... If you don't want to be beaten again, be honest!"
