7. The Treasury of Al Kavon
It might be a bad idea to have Brian and Zhou Zhuo go together to explore the Rock Hall. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info these two guys are the kind of specific people who are haunted by bad luck, to put it mildly, even if they go out for a walk twice, they can find one or two hidden monuments.
But Dick can't help it, the power at hand has been evenly distributed throughout the Storm Cliffs, at least until the deployment of the Night's Watch is completed, he doesn't have a good way to save manpower, and tasks like exploring those monuments left behind by the Titans, it is certainly not realistic to let people like Mogu and Heroic Spirits who are only good at frontal combat go.
Even most of the time, he had to go out himself.
For example, now, at the same moment when Brian and Zhou Zhuo entered the Rock Hall, Dick's figure also appeared at the very edge of the Dragonbone Wilderness with the glow of thunder, and on the top of the cold and windy mountain, the cold wind blew his hair, and he squinted his eyes and looked to the west of the mountains, between the northwind tundra and the icecrown glacier, there was a unique small plain standing surrounded by the mountains.
It was a ring of land, as if a whole mountain range had been cut straight from the middle, and from above, it was covered with snow, and the ring of ice contained lakes, rivers, waterfalls, and even a small piece of volcanic rock that seemed to have been ignited.
That was the destination of his trip this time, Donghug Lake.
The game is a battlefield where players are fighting each other, which is certainly not possible in the real world, and this place can only be reached by flying mounts, which is more like a legendary land for ordinary soldiers.
In fact, there is not much description of Dongyong Lake in the game, but in the case of more and more knowledge about the Titan Ruins, Dick guessed that this place should be the warehouse where the Titans stored materials and raw materials, this small area of the snow field, full of various element crystals, this kind of high-end goods do not look like they were naturally generated, it is very likely that the Titans collected on this planet and stored them in Dongyong Lake, which was used to make the Iron Legion and Guardians.
These elemental crystals and cherished ores have always been extremely valuable strategic resources, and the same is true for Dick, but this time he is not here specifically for these resources, he also has to look for a few special beings.
The Rock Guardian Arkavon and his brothers, the powerful and last of the rune giants who still have their sanity, live in the treasury of Arkavon in the deepest part of the Winter Embrace Lake, it is said that the rune giants made by the Titans themselves back then, they have never stepped out of that treasure house for tens of thousands of years, and they have not even participated in the split of the Titan Guardians, as if they have been forgotten by time.
"Huh"
The golden lightning stopped in front of the gate of the treasury of Arkavon, and the overflowing thunder light was like a broken stream of water, constantly hovering on Dick's body, he stood in the snow, raised his head, and looked at the majestic treasury in front of him, which was a huge building made of the mountains on the shore of the Winter Hug Lake, and the outer layer was made of black and purple steel gates and columns, and in the passage of time, the treasure house has lost its past magnificence, and the gems and metals that exist as ornaments have also become uneven under the tempering of time, and the top is also shrouded in heavy snow, but the more this is the case, the more it seems that the momentum of this treasure house is amazing。
It's like a lion entrenched in the middle of a snowy mountain, it is sleeping, and when it wakes up, it can still roar in the mountains and forests.
Dick stepped forward, stretched out his hand, touched the surrounding rocks and metal columns, which used special techniques to sketch a lot of pictures, that is clearly a record of the Titan Guardian, with the Iron Legion to pacify the elemental disaster scene, the paladin looked at the murals that have been blurred, can feel the pride and glory that comes from it, the Iron Legion that returned from the victory, probably for the purpose of commemoration, these pictures are engraved on the stone wall, but unfortunately, now they have lost this glory.
On either side of the large platform in front of the hall, there was a slightly smaller palace, and judging from the tools left in it, it should have been the workshop used by the rune giants who lived here to make tools and weapons, but now it has also lost its use, and judging by the dust accumulated on it, it must have been unused for thousands of years.
Dick returned to the gate of the treasury, the two black metal doors were closed, and in the center there were traces of fire magic, which sealed the steel door completely. It seems that after the giants locked off this place, they had no intention of opening this treasure house again, and Dick could only rely on guessing to deduce what happened to the rune giants back then.
But this situation did not bother Dick, and he walked to the bottom of the pillar of the gate, where there was an ornament like a metal table, on which Dick reached out and knocked a few times, and a starry projection appeared before his eyes, like a lit lamp, and this light danced with the cold wind blowing around, and looked very beautiful.
Of course, this is not just a lamp, the bright starlight can distinguish the identity of the comer, as long as it is a recognized life, it can enter the treasure house through the starlight, this is a secret that few people know, and Dick is one of these people.
He stretched out his left hand, and the next moment, like a faint vertigo through a portal, the light and shadow flashed in front of him, and the whole person was standing inside the Arkavon Treasury, directly in front of him was a tunnel leading to the bottom, covered with cyan moss, because it was used by giants, so the passage of this staircase was particularly wide, enough to accommodate 30 Dicks to pass through at the same time.
Behind him, there was a small square table, on which was placed a book made of stone, the pages alone were a man high, in the game, it was Arkafon's rock diary, which recorded everything that happened to the Winter Embrace Lake after the Titans left this world, but in the real world, it was recorded that he didn't know something, Dick stepped forward and put it in the storage ring as a gift for Brian Copperbeard.
Such a thing, even if it is placed in the headquarters of the Explorers' Guild in Ironforge Castle, it can be used as a treasure of the town hall.
After all this, the paladin did not linger, his form turned into purple thunder, disappeared in place, and quickly traveled down the stairs.
Alcarvon was a lonely giant, and his favorite thing to do was to stay in his rock hall, sit there, and reminisce about the past, even if it didn't have much joy to speak of.
This giant is nearly 13 meters tall sitting on the ground, his body is like a moving mountain, it is not an exaggeration to say, if it were not for Alkavon's talent for manipulating rocks, I am afraid that the earth would not be able to support his body, like other guardians, the expression of the rock guardian is very rich, very distinct, it looks like real life, although he was also born from the cold rock.
As one of the first rune giants made by the Titans himself, Arkafon and his brothers were endowed with great power, as evidenced by the natural magic patterns on his shoulders, a skilled hand in magic.
No creature will voluntarily lock itself in a cage that has not been opened for tens of thousands of years since the birth of the Divine Sense, and Arkafon and his brothers are not crazy people who are unusual people, they have no choice but to seal the treasure house.
In Arkafon's memory, when the Titans still existed in this world, it was the most orderly and dynamic time in the whole world, and all the creatures in the whole world fought under the Titan's planning.
The Rock Guardian was involved in the battle to banish the Elemental Lord, and after the war, he and his brothers, because they did not like fighting, were appointed by the Titans to guard the Winterhug Lake, guarding the precious resources collected by the Titans from all over the world, and there are also complete smelting and shaping workshops here, and in his spare time, Alkavon always likes to roam the land and watch the world wake up from the cold winter.
It was a good time, but after the Titans left, everything went bad!
The rune giants of the Arkavon Treasury were not involved in the Guardian split due to their distance from Ulduar, and the giants were extremely insensitive creatures to change, and by the time they realized that everything had gone bad, it was too late.
The most powerful Odin fled with his Valagaar, and the most upright of Tyr and Lorcan had a head-on argument, and then the entire Guardian camp was mobilized to fight against Tyr, who was said to have "stolen" something, and it was a struggle that spread half the world, and it was before that struggle that Arkafon met with Tyr.
Alkavon still can't forget the admonition of the mighty Tyre at that time.
"Rock Guardian, Lorcan is insane! He has been corrupted by that being! Don't believe any of his rhetoric! Go back to the treasure trove, guard it, and once Locan gets his hands on the materials in the treasure trove, his evil army will destroy the entire world!"
"Protect that treasure trove!
At that time, Tyr was walking on his way to Ulduar and confronting Lorcan with his silver hand warhammer, and the wind blew his cloak like on the battlefield, and this righteous guardian would never bow his head or be discouraged.
Alcarvon, infected by his will, exclaimed,
"Let me help you, Tyr, if Lorcan is really as crazy as you say, then you need help!"
"No, mighty Arkafon, you are guarding the treasure house, which is the greatest help to me and the world!"
Tyr declined his help and set out on a path to find answers alone, and Al Kavon returned to Winterhug, gathering his brothers and his own clan, the Runegiants, to set up a battlefield in Winterhug, ready for a possible war.
That was the last time Al Kavon saw Tyr.
One month later, as Tyr said, the Iron Legion arrived at Winterhug Lake, and the soldiers who had become crazy and chaotic asked Arkafon to open the treasury and offer the rare materials to Lorcan, but Arkafon refused, and the battle began!
That battle lasted for a full 10 years, the entire Winter Embrace Lake, the Titans' most proud workshop area, was completely destroyed by the war, all the recovered lives returned to sleep, the rune giants were also on the verge of extinction under this cruel battle, but it was also these 10 years of fighting that made the once invincible Iron Legion taste the pain of breaking the halberd and sinking into the sand for the first time, they collapsed and fled the battlefield, being killed all over the battlefield by the Elemental Warden and their iron casting elemental army, until now, the souls of those Iron Legions are still roaming the ice fields of Winter Hug Lake。
At the end of the war, Alcarvon and his brothers closed the gates and locked them up completely.
Until today!
This is the story of the lone giant Arcavon, the story of the guardians of the treasury.
"Stop!
"Get out, invaders, this is not where you should be!"
The loud sound woke the mighty Arkafon from his memory, and the 20-meter-tall rune giant leader raised his head, and beyond the rock hall, it seemed that something had never happened in the past tens of thousands of years, it seemed... Invade?
Intruder!
Alkavon's gaze became dangerous, he stood up, his hands as thick as battering rams stretched outward, the stone hall door burst open under his will, the whole treasury trembled under Alkavon's wrath, the mountains and the earth roared in unison, and the guardians were already angry.
"Let me see who dares to break into this treasure house!"
"Let me see, tens of thousands of years later, if Lorcan has forgotten the failures we brought him!"
"The rock will not forget! The earth will not forget! The invaders... Your end has come!"
