23. The Conservatory of Life - Freya's Ark
As the Titan's direct agent in Azeroth, the Guardians wield a myriad of powers and basically have their own responsibilities, in fact, frankly speaking, every time Dick thinks of the composition of Ulduar, he has the feeling of looking at the messy gods in the myth.
For the mortals of the world of Azeroth, this group of guardians is actually no different from gods, but fortunately, the basic mission of these "gods" is to maintain the safe existence of this world, so mortals don't need to worry about the sudden appearance of a god to destroy the world.
In the complex division of labor of Ulduar, there is also such a goddess of life, Freya, the guardian who has been walking on the earth since the beginning of life, and in the entire civilization evolution of Azeroth, she truly acts as a goddess of life.
Among all the guardians, her influence on this world is probably the greatest, not to mention anything else, it's just that all the wilderness demigods that exist in the world are inseparable from Freya, and those wilderness demigods are basically the lives that Freya walked on the wild land and had contact with when everything never appeared.
For example, the black panther Ashaman she raised with her own hands, such as the wolf spirit Godring, who also crossed paths with her, it can be said that in the era when everything first opened, the guardians maintained the order of the whole world, and the order of life was built by Freya little by little.
Dick and the Dragonlords walked in the huge inner ring of the Ulduar antechamber, how vast was this space? Just looking down from the edge of the inner ring, the surging layers of darkness and sparks of Titan energy made people feel like they were facing the entire universe, and just the ring part of the inner ring was the size of the entire Stormwind City, not to mention the four halls around the inner ring.
It's a magical place that's unimaginably large, and with the current environment, it's dead silent, so quiet that you can even hear the voice of the heart.
"I never thought that Ulduar, who was quiet, would be so scary. ”
The Red Dragon Queen looked left and right, and said to Ysera beside her, "It's like a sleeping beast, and all it breathes out is substantial desolation, and this is not a good place." ”
"But it holds a lot of secrets!"
Nozdom's eyes looked at the ground covered with mystical patterns, and his penetrating gaze seemed to go straight underground, "This place cannot be known to the civilized world, mortals are too curious, and they will eventually dig up something that cannot be released." ”
The Bronze Dragon King meant something, Dick knew what he wanted to say, in fact, there were indeed a lot of tricky things under Ulduar, from the time when Lorcan and the Old Gods ambushed Tyr, it can be seen that inside Ulduar, there is at least a large ancient battlefield where the evil servants of the Old Gods are buried, and Dick also knows that at the bottom of Ulduar, near the bottom of the ground, there is an office of Leydon, which also hides secrets about this world.
What's more, ever since he stepped inside, Dick could vaguely feel a familiar aura coming from Azeroth, or rather, Elune.
If the Guardians hadn't observed Elune's growth back then, Dick would never have believed it, so as Nozdorm said, even after the threat was cleared, the paladins would not open it to mortals, and this was probably the closest place to the star spirits in this world.
Mortals are ignorant, and no one knows if they will do anything to hurt the star spirits.
"We're here!"
The paladin didn't join the conversation, he knew more than the dragon kings, so he didn't have the mood to revisit the old place, in front of a closed green door, Dick stopped, he looked at the dragon king,
"Divide the forces here, Her Majesty Ysera and I will deal with Freya, and we will trouble the others to deal with Hodir, Heimdall will go directly to Torrim for trouble after he is busy with other things, and finally Mimiron, who is a difficult opponent to deal with, so we have to go out together. ”
"Well, a reasonable distribution!"
Nozdom nodded, the Lord of Time didn't seem to care about everything, when he spoke, there was always a kind of indifference that made people uncomfortable, probably because he saw through fate, the other dragon kings, including Dick, didn't have too many complaints about this matter, Nozdom bore a lot heavier responsibilities than theirs, in fact, Nozdom standing in front of Dick was only him in this world line, at the same time, there were countless Nozdorm who were busy fighting endless battles with the Eternal Dragon Legion.
Omniscient omnipotence is not a blessing, it is a shackle, a kind of torture, to find the last bit of light in countless failures, to be able to hold on for tens of thousands of years, which is enough to show that Nozdorm's mind is firm.
Two minutes later, the other three dragon kings disappeared from Dick's gaze, and Ysera's voice came from behind him,
"Dick, do you have anything to ask?"
"Yes, I want to ask you, is the recent Emerald Dream as stable as before?"
The paladin put his left hand on the seal of the gate in front of him, and with the silver light flowing through every magic pattern of the entire rune gate, the gate in front of him slowly opened to the two sides, and in the process, the Green Dragon Queen's answer also reached Dick's ears,
"I know what you're trying to ask, Dick, but Enzos and its nightmare are as quiet as ever. ”
Ysera's beautiful face didn't have much expression, as if telling a trivial thing, "After the tragic incident of the Ursol brothers, I deliberately strengthened the monitoring of the entire Emerald Dream by the Sleep of the World, but unfortunately, I did not find any signs of the existence of the nightmare, and I have a hunch that outside of the dream, Enzos has already begun to act, but I don't know what it wants to do?"
"Maybe after this operation, you can shift your focus from land to sea"
Dick turned to Ysera and smiled, "You and I both know that beneath the depths of Azeroth lies another empire, one that can overthrow civilization. ”
But before he could finish speaking, Ysera's expression, which had been staring ahead, suddenly became surprised, and this change made Dick can't help but look back, and then he saw the scene after the door opened, and despite seeing it countless times in the game, the paladin's mouth opened slightly at this moment.
"It's really, unbelievable!"
Everywhere you look, there is a piece of emerald green, like the most prosperous land of life, every inch of the ground, is covered with all kinds of plants, and in the sky, on the ground, in the river, in the waterfall, all kinds of creatures are living peacefully, the giant bear is lazily lying on the beach, a poisonous snake lies at its feet, the tail of the poisonous snake is constantly shaking, as if it is teasing the little fox behind him.
In the sky, owls flapped their wings and swept silently across the sky, and above it, a huge green dragon soared, and a rare eagle crouched on a branch, under the waterfall, a funny fishman played with the fish in the waterfall, and not far beyond the waterfall, a miniature volcano was still flowing with magma, and lava scorpions were crawling in the magma, and beyond the volcano, there was a desert, and two camels were leisurely grazing.
There is no hostility, no hunting, and all the creatures live quietly in this very small world, which is far more shocking than what you see in the game.
"It's another whole ecosystem!"
Ysera bent down and stroked the flowers blooming at her feet with her hand, she straightened up and said to Dick solemnly, "This contains at least 70% of the creatures in the entire world of Azeroth! And they all appear in pairs! Freya obviously deliberately collects life, and then spends a lot of effort to maintain it all, but in this dangerous place of Ulduar, it all makes no sense, what is she going to do?"
Dick took a deep breath as he strode into it, and Isera froze for a moment, then quickly followed, and then she heard Dick explain, "Everything here, this is Freya's ark for Azeroth!"
"Ark?
Ysera tilted her head curiously and asked, Dick slapped his brain, he forgot that the ark was a legend of another world, so he changed his way, "This is Freya's last backup for Azeroth's life!
The paladin's voice was full of emotion, and he stood between the vegetation and animals that had never been repeated at all, opened his arms towards Ysera, and said loudly,
"This is the ark of life, the last hope of the world! Freya knows everything, she knows that once what happens in Ulduar is seen by the observers, Azeroth will be reshaped, but she uses her own ways and methods to try to accumulate the last hope for the world, she is not crazy! No, she is more sober than any guardian! What a great thing is like the ark of life that carries all life and drifts with the tide in the chaos flood, she is simply the living Noah"
Dick let out a sigh that Isera couldn't understand, but this did not prevent the Green Dragon Queen from understanding the meaning of Dick's words, and she couldn't help but sigh with emotion, she and Alexstasa were in charge of dreams and life, but they had never used everything purely to serve the life of this world like Freya, no matter what the result was, but this kind of ethics and behavior itself was worthy of respect.
The Green Dragon Queen couldn't help but ask, "Will she succeed then?"
The paladin shook his head and sighed, "No, she won't succeed, the creator of the Forge of Origin told me personally that once the Forge of Origin is activated, everything in this world will be reshaped, erased, and even Ulduar itself will cease to exist, all of which will not succeed in the first place." ”
However, the paladin raised her head, reached out and gently brushed the mimosa in front of her, turned her head and gave Ysera a gentle smile, "But that doesn't hinder her greatness, does it?"
"Okay, let's be the released pigeon and wake up Noah from the brink of loss. ”
The paladin stretched out his hand to brush away the heavy palm leaves in front of him, and walked towards the depths of this life forest with extremely high life density without looking back, "Freya has been asleep for too long, and now we need her to wake up!"
(Noah's dove, this is the end of the biblical story about the ark, after the flood receded, Noah released a pigeon to observe the changes in the world for him, here is a metaphor to wake up Freya, tell her about the changes in the world, in addition, in the first time I played ULD, I saw the greenhouse of life, in fact, there is this brain hole and don't extend it casually, emphasize: I don't believe in Christianity, to be precise, I'm an atheist, I just occasionally look at world myths, to open my mind~~~.) So brothers, don't guess casually, since I see some guys taking the rhythm of this aspect, so this statement is put here, after all, the brothers who watch the pirated version can't see the author's words, forgive me. )
