8. The prophecy of the Dark Prophet --- add more to the Frostfang's Claw brothers!
The group was in the fog, the sand under their feet was very soft, and the tide swept by from time to time, which would cover up the traces left on it as quickly as possible. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Dick had given up on looking for Anduin and Lili from the traces of the sand, which was simply not possible. But it's not without good news.
According to the results of the paladin's observation with the world blueprint, there was only a little distance left from the edge of Pandaria, and they only needed to constantly correct the direction, and in about 2 hours, the group would be able to reach the edge of the misty continent.
And the other good news is that Dick doesn't have to act as a compass anymore.
The trolls led by Goraya the Soulbinder used a brass astrolabe in charge to determine the direction of progress in the mist, and according to Dick's observations, this particular astrolabe was able to guide the correct direction in general, not always correctly, but the wrong result was not too many steps, so the paladin simply handed over the responsibility of leading the way to the troll.
Goraya had no objection to this, and let the troll warrior who had been knocked out by Valera walk at the front with the astrolabe, and the other troll warriors all looked at one or two wounded soldiers, while he walked at the back of the line with Dick on his cane, trembling, and Dick, it was clear that the two guys had something to discuss, so there was some distance between the others and them, leaving room for them to communicate privately.
"Long time no see, Elder Goraya. ā
Dick also carried a scepter, the Scepter of Olsis, and although his body had recovered, the habit he had developed over the months would not be so easily changed, and he was now accustomed to moving forward with his cane, just as fast as the old troll.
In the face of Dick's greetings, the old troll squinted his eyes and smiled, he breathed a sigh of relief, played with a string of rosaries made of white bones in his hand, and said to Dick slowly,
"From the Battle of Quicksand to now, it's only been one year, not a long time. ā
"Yes, the way the Immortals think things is always different from us humans. ā
Dick nodded noncommittally, and said with emotion, "Many old people of the immortal race will indulge in the past time and can't extricate themselves, just like the night elves, although they seem to care about nothing on the surface, but in fact, many of them will still miss the time when Queen Azhara ruled, at least at that time, they don't have to worry about the territory of the country." ā
The paladin stretched out a finger and shook it in front of his eyes,
"I heard that the orcs have a conflict with the night elves in Ash Valley again, and there is also Stonetalon Mountain, and the orcs plan to develop there, of course, they are also bewitched by the rusty water goblins who have joined them, but anyway, it seems to me that the time of calm in Kalimdor has passed, and a war is coming. ā
The old troll's eyes wandered, and he turned his head to look at Dick, then lowered his head again,
"It has nothing to do with us, Woking of the Dark Spear is not a leader who is absolutely obedient to King Hasrata, and we can't influence him, but I think you have something to say, as a former comrade-in-arms, speak up, Dick, what do you want to know?"
The paladin pursed his lips and lowered his voice,
"I'm not surprised that Zandalar is anywhere in the world, but here, you and Mogu were allies tens of thousands of years ago, and it is said that the content of this covenant has been engraved into the bones of your two races, and compared to Zandalara, Mogu is a dangerous group, I find it hard to believe that you have brought these golden warriors here just for an outing, not for something that would endanger the whole world. ā
The old troll looked at Dick in surprise and asked curiously,
"The first time I saw you, I knew you held a lot of secrets, but the covenant between Mogu and Zandalara, Loa is above, that's tens of thousands of years away, it's hard to believe that a mortal can know this, but it's nothing, I'm more curious, world peace... What does it have to do with you? You're not a knight of peace, Dick, you're a belligerent fellow, and you smell no less blood than anyone here. ā
The paladin didn't like this way of talking, so he simply shook his left arm,
"It didn't matter before, but now that we have, let's be honest, Elder Golaya, who do you represent?
Unlike other trolls, Zandalar trolls rarely have hunchbacked guys, Golaya's hunchback is because he is too old, and in the face of Dick's final inquiry, the old troll struggled to straighten his waist, he glanced at the tall body of Gavincent walking in front, and a look of solemnity appeared on his old face,
"Well, since you want to know. I have come on behalf of the Dark Prophet Zur, who wants to re-establish the Great Empire of Zandalar in the face of the dark plague that will arise in the future, but King Hasrata no longer believes in his prophecy, because Zur's near-omniscient prophecy has won him the support of most of the sacrifices throughout Zandalara, and his power is so great that even the Golden King is a little frightened. ā
"As for us, Jax and I came here to enter the mist on the secret orders of Zur, and even obtained the astrolabe because of it, just to find a kind of power!"
Dick's eyes narrowed, his fingers moved, Calvincent's walking body froze, and the Viku man's hand shook as he approached the dragon-slaying axe on his waist, murderous... At this moment, it suddenly broke out.
But in the next moment, Golaya's words made the murderous aura of these two people disappear.
"But we are only here to turn to that power, just to deal with the dark plague of the future, and it has nothing to do with us as to who that power will fall into. ā
The old troll looked at Dick with sincere and excessive eyes, as if he didn't feel the murderous aura at all.
"Whether it's you or the emperor hundreds of thousands of years ago, the covenant between the Mogu Empire and the Zandalar Empire does exist, but if the person who commanded the Mogu is dead, it will be meaningless. ā
"Hmph"
Calvincent snorted coldly and continued to walk forward without looking back, while Dick glanced at the old troll and said in a very serious tone,
"May what you say be true, Soul Bound of Zandalara, don't make a threatening move, no one wants the tyrant of 10,000 years ago to be resurrected, and no one wants the evil beneath this land to be resurrected. ā
Dick's warning is not groundless, in the original Pandaria's quest line, it was he who took Zandalara's trolls to resurrect the demon ancient tyrant Thor who had been dead for hundreds of thousands of years, and made a mess of the entire Pandaria.
Now the culprit of everything stood before Dick's eyes, and it took him a great deal of effort to restrain the urge to draw his sword.
As for who Thor is... Remember the guy who broke into the Hall of Origin in an attempt to seize the Forge of Origin, wounded four Creators, and finally forced them to use the Forge of Origin to kill? That's right, the guy who was terrifyingly strong! In order to kill him, the whole of Uldum will still be a desert after 10,000 years.
Dick said in his heart, no one wants Thor to be resurrected, because there is no group of 25 people who fell from the sky in this world right now, the guardian is officially micro to the extreme, Thor appears, no one can stop him, and that guy's heart, except for conquest, there is nothing else.
As for Morgu, it was a powerful creature of Pandaria, and don't worry, Dick will meet them soon.
In the face of Dick's warning, Goraya behaved calmly, and the old troll spread his hands,
"I was only ordered to find a transformative force that would make Zandalar stronger, and Zur didn't give me and Jax the order to resurrect Thor, and besides, do you think you can resurrect a demigod with just me? I'm not that strong. ā
Dick was stunned for a moment, then nodded knowingly.
Originally, Zur saw the power of Deathwing to destroy the world, so he was eager to rebuild the Zandalar Empire that could protect itself from disaster, but in the current history, Deathwing has not even seen a shadow, he just made a dark prophecy.
Therefore, Golaya's mission this time is probably more akin to pathfinding than action.
Thinking of this, Dick's expression softened, and he even reached out and patted the old troll on the shoulder, and whispered,
"Then tell me about Zur's dark prophecy, I'm interested in that. ā
Golaya thought about it, and felt that this was not a secret, and that the entire Zandalar Empire had almost spread all over it, so he nodded, cleared his throat again, and said to Dick as he walked forward with his cane,
"That was the prophecy made by the wise Zur in Zudasa, the capital of Zandala, in the tens of thousands of years of Zandala's history, it is difficult to find a more mysterious and greater sacrifice than Zur, the god Loa favored him and gave him the ability to see through the future, but the last time he made a prophecy was 5 years ago, he warned Zulgrass's sacrifice Jindu to be careful of those atalai, they will bring death, again! One year later, the temple of Atahaka, the gathering place of Attalai, was burned down, and Kinddo's plot to summon Hakka was ruined, and Zur Grab is said to have set off a bloody storm. ā
Speaking of which, Golaya glanced at Dick,
"I know you're involved, but it's a testament to the greatness of Zul, I can swear that Zandalar didn't interfere with everything, it's all the power of fate, and this time, Zul, who hasn't come forward for a long time, issued a warning, he said: the chaotic sky will replace the blue sky, the earth beneath our feet will crumble with anger, the world will change, the wings of death will cross the sky, and the world will enter a sea of fire, and he also sees the resurgence of ancient evil, everything... Then Jax and I received the order, Pandaria, a land that had been shrouded in fog for thousands of years, and Zur said that Zandala had a chance to become strong again. ā
Dick pursed his lips.
It is difficult to say how he felt after hearing this prophecy, but there was absolutely no disdain in it, because he knew that Zur's prophecy was correct.
He has changed a lot, but there are many that he can't change, such as Deathwing, the fallen Black Dragon King, who holds the power of the land of Azeroth and Chaos, if it returns from the Outlands with the Void Dragon, then the cataclysm in history will definitely be renewed, even the current Dick, under that power, has no ability to fight back.
In fact, Deathwing is the strongest creature in Azeroth, both in the game and in history, especially after receiving the power of the Old Gods, and even requiring four dragon kings to give up the Titan authority in order to kill it completely, and that is when the heroes of the entire world are in action.
It takes the power of a world to come together to kill a creature.
You can imagine its threat.
And the meaning of Zur's dark prophecy is that even though the world is almost 50% reversed, he still has not been able to save the world from the emergence of cataclysm, but it has been postponed, not even postponed.
This was the new conundrum before Dick.
But while he and Goraya were silent, the troll warriors who were scouting their way ahead cheered, and Dick looked up to see a blue sky and a turquoise mountain landscape.
And the majestic buildings under the sky, and the panda farmers who fished by the sea, where time had stood still for tens of thousands of years, and now, it seemed to be flowing again.
Pandaria... He's coming!
