38. Nowrosh and vanishing pride
The second hall is much smaller than the hall of Ilmessus, in fact, this is more like a room, there is also a ring-shaped energy device in the center of the hall, and the familiar Titan energy is surging in it, but Dick has a deeper understanding, these are not the energies left by the Titans.

Rather, it was taken from Azeroth, and the last wound that Elune spoke of was here.
After the Titans left Azeroth, Leiden was confused about what to do with the dark heart of Ashaji, but he couldn't let this dark heart spread in the darkness of Pandaria, and in desperation, Leiden could only choose the safest way to suppress the dark heart with the power of a planet.
At that time, the Well of Eternity had not been destroyed, so Lydon simply divided a part of the power from the Well of Eternity and imprisoned the Heart of Darkness in it, at first tens of thousands of years this move was very correct, the Heart of Darkness was suppressed by the slow-growing Elune and could not escape, so he could only use his will to try to corrupt Leyden, and control the constant attacks of the mantis demon corrupted by himself, but then things became bad.
Almansur pulled Asharth from the surface of the planet and killed it on the spot, but the old gods were so closely connected to the world that the terrible injury caused the whole of Azeroth to lose blood, and even the Titans were a little caught off guard, so they could only heal the wound that almost tore the surface of the planet to the size of the Well of Eternity, so that it no longer affected Elune's growth.
It turned out that the Titans had made the right choice, and Elune was really strong, but the long-term blood loss also made her extremely weak, and although the explosion of the Well of Eternity said that the wound was completely healed, it seriously damaged the stability of the star spirit.
It was also during that explosion that Elune's injuries worsened, and he could no longer suppress the Heart of Darkness, and the spiritual battle between Lydon and Ashaji became fierce in vain, and it was at that time that the demons that were derivatives of its power appeared.
Shao Hao sacrificed himself to save Pandaria, sealed his negative emotions, and sealed the power of Yasha under the earth, which brought another 10,000 years of peace to Pandaria.
But now, the will of Ashaji has returned to the heart of darkness, and the collective rebellion of the demon is just a small act of this dark creature to show its strength, but it has disturbed the whole of Pandalia can not be calm, so there is not much time for Dick, if he can't take the heart of evil from the seal that has lost its effect in time, I am afraid that soon, another wave of emotional disasters will come.
Dick had already embarked on the path of maintaining order, and if he didn't pay attention to this kind of thing, his superiors would not let him go, not to mention, in Dick's heart, he couldn't bear to see those panda people suffer like this throughout Pandaria.
What's more, saving the world has done so much and is nothing more than one more step forward, which Dick is used to.
"Stop, stranger, you're heading to a path you can't predict into the future, a darkness you can't imagine, so... Stop!"
At the very front of the hall, in front of the door, a huge stone statue opened its eyes, blue eyes, proving that he had not been corrupted by the evil heart, and it seemed that Lydon had given him an incomparably strong will when he made him.
It was a giant who was very similar to the stone carvings of the Mogu, but his carvings were more elaborate than those of the Mogu, and the most striking thing was his face, except for the appearance that was extremely similar to the Mogu, his ears were more like animal ears, erected on the top of his head, and his hair was draped behind him, adding a bit of unruliness to the stone statue wearing a red battle dress and bare hands.
He is Nowrush, a Titan creature born with the responsibility of guarding the heart of the Devil, in the system of Titan creation, his level is much higher than that of Jian Xi and Taixi, and he is at the same level as Elonnaya and Azadas, who are currently guarding in Theramore, and his combat power is much stronger than those two guys who have become weak because they have been away from Ulduar.
It's a tough opponent... But it's not invincible.
Dick ignored Nowrush's warning, he took another step forward, this casual attitude made the Titan creature raise his eyebrows, he looked at Dick, and soon, from Dick's body, he felt the breath of Lydon and Tyr, but as Dick said, this stubborn guy will not give in so easily.
"Smack!"
A blue lightning bolt struck Dick's feet, the paladin stopped, and then saw Nowrush's hands spread, a long sword inlaid with gems, and a round tower shield that was also filled with energy appeared on the giant's arms, blue lightning danced on his body, and the golden light that Dick was familiar with, but it was not a holy light, but a very similar energy, not too aggressive, but full of purifying taste, it should be some kind of strange Titan energy.
He looked at Dick with seriousness in his eyes.
"High-minded, arrogant, reckless, arrogant. ”
"You think you can defeat it, but in reality, you have been dominated by it, your arrogance is deep in your bones, your madness is hidden in your heart, you are an unstable factor. ”
"So... Deep Corrosion... It is strictly forbidden to enter the central hall!"
"So, at the end of the day, we still have to fight?"
Dick looked up at Nowrush and spread his hands, "I don't want to fight you, there's no point, come, check my mind and see if I'm corrupted... I'm here with the sincerity to solve the problem, so if you can't solve the problem, don't get in the way!"
The paladin's voice became muffled,
"Do you also feel that the prisoner is no longer at peace?"
Nowrosh did not let go of the sword and shield in his hand, he looked at Dick,
"It's true that it's no longer settled, but I don't want to risk another sub-shaji, and you should know that it desperately needs a carrier, and you're the most suitable one. ”
"Uh... Order surrounds me, and I am best placed to solve this problem in this world, except for the more powerful ones. ”
Dick breathed a sigh of relief, "Or use your method to relieve the emotions in my heart, I know you have a way." ”
The eyes of the Mogu Colossus narrowed, and after a few seconds, he lowered the sword and shield in his hand, the weapon dissipated with the fluctuations of space, and he touched his chin with his hand.
"You're the first to make such a request, even though you're the second I've ever seen... Uh, the third mortal creature, I guess you've seen Lord Lydon, is he okay?"
"Well... Not really. ”
Dick simply sat cross-legged in front of Nowrush, and this way of completely removing the threat made Nowrush feel good, and the giant also sat opposite Dirk, listening to what the paladin told him.
"Ryden had something special happening, uh, I'm not going to tell you about that, anyway, he was a long time ago, tens of thousands of years ago, he was mentally entangled by the Assha, until I woke him up, he was still alive, but he needed to sleep for a while, and before he hibernated, he entrusted me to deal with the evil heart. ”
Dick took into account Nowrush's ability to bear it, and decided not to tell this giant about Thor's sneak attack on Leiden and the destruction of the Pantheon, the Titans also have feelings, and it is difficult to say whether this kind of thing will make him unacceptable, and he is only separated by a wall from the heart of evil, and he has been together for hundreds of thousands of years, and it is difficult to say that Nowrush himself is sober.
The fact that Azadath was able to be corrupted by Yugsaron after being away from Ulduar was enough for Dick to maintain a minimum of suspicion of Nowrush.
"And what about the world? Is the world still as beautiful as it was before, as peaceful as it was before, and Ulduar, and Uldaman, and the people of Uldem, I remember them, but they may have forgotten me. ”
Nowrosh asked another question, but as he spoke, his voice muffled.
Dick's scalp was numb when he watched this scene, and sure enough, Nowrosh didn't realize that he might also have negative emotions that he shouldn't have, loneliness!
Yes, how can a person who has been in this place for hundreds of thousands of years not be lonely?
"Maybe you should go out and see for yourself. ”
Dick craned his shoulders and said to Nowrush, "Wait until we've got this problem out of the way." ”
"Hmm... Nice suggestion. ”
The giant's head was raised, and for the first time Dick saw a smile on his serious face, which disappeared for a moment, and then became serious again,
"But you have to solve this trouble first, and I should state in advance that if you are infected, I can only ..."
Nowrosh narrowed his eyes and glanced at Dick, as if to gauge Dick's strength, and finally he sighed,
"I can only die with you. ”
"So you'd better clear my emotions for once, lest you take the lives of both of us. ”
The paladin rose from the ground, moved his hands and feet, and said to Nowrush,
"Let's get started!"
The giant grinned, revealing Sensen's white fangs, and also rose from the ground, white purifying light emanating from his palm, enveloping Dick in it, and Nowrush's muffled voice,
"Anyone who has been in contact with demons will have emotional remains, unless you have no emotions yourself, but this is impossible, so what I just said is not actually lying to you, at the edge of your mind that you are not aware of, your negative emotions have accumulated a lot, and you have also been in close contact with the ancient gods... It's unbelievable that you're still alive. ”
Dick felt the purifying light sweeping around his body, and he shrugged,
"I killed Cthun, with my own hands. ”
"Wow, then I guess you're a real hero. ”
Nowrush's hands opened, and a semicircular barrier appeared around Dick, completely enveloping the light,
"So hero, face your heart!"
Dick's eyes were dark, his vision was obscured, and when the light reappeared, five small groups of demons appeared beside him, and the paladin tilted his head to look at these demons with teeth and claws, and with a flick of his left hand, the thunderous Wind Chasing Sword appeared in his hand.
The blade is dazzling, and the thunder flower is beating on the blade, it seems that what Nowrosh said is true, the demon really has remnants on him, but Dick was a little surprised, according to the original plot, after encountering Nowrush, this giant will dispel pride.
However, Dick watched it several times, but he didn't see the blue evil energy representing pride from the five groups of evil energy in front of him, Dick always knew that the seventh emotion that Shao Hao failed to shed back then was pride, which Dick knew better than anyone else, and the emotion of pride was also the only invisible blade hidden in the Pandaria continent.
Even people like Shao Hao can't hide, according to the official version, Shao Hao finally turned into the fog to save it, and there is also a force of pride at work, but this statement is a bit unreasonable.
Or was there really no pride in him, so much so that even Nowrosh couldn't find that emotion?
Dick instinctively felt that this matter might not be so simple, but the five demons did not give him more time to think, but rushed towards him in unison, Dick rushed forward with his sword, thunder and lightning and holy light shone, accompanied by a divine shock to disperse the anger, the paladin also noticed, there was no doubt.
It seems that the suspicious demon that was sealed in the Qinglong Temple really had some problems, and when the demon broke through the seal, it didn't seem to have appeared.
But why exactly?
Until Dick had slain the last shred of hatred, until Nowrush's purifying light had dissipated, Dick didn't see pride aroused, and he looked at the giant in front of him who had opened the door for him, a gesture that proved that Nowrush had acknowledged him, but until the moment he walked into the third hall, Dick still felt that something was not quite right.
However, when he saw the chest stored in the center of the third hall in front of him, the paladin could only forget those emotions, and the heart of evil was right in front of him.
