Chapter 116: Trolls
For the next two days, because he wanted to explore the mysteries of the life energy of the Sunshine Forest, Orondo did not rush to Stormwind City.
The Sunshine Forest is large, much larger than the upwind trail. The trees were so dense that even with a general direction, it took Orondo more than a day to find the mountains in the middle of the belt.
He knew that in the middle of this circle of circular mountains should be the four weakest points of contact between the Emerald Dream and the real world, the dream gate protected by the most powerful guardian dragons among the green dragons.
Emerald Dream, even the mages who are far away from life energy, know its mystery and vastness of a name.
The Emerald Dream, in the knowledge of the mages, is also known as the Dream Realm, the Dream of Creation.
As a time-traveler, Orondo knows more about the secrets of the Emerald Dream than most mages.
The Titan brothers, who were bent on the healthy growth of Azeroth's star soul, created the Emerald Dream in another dimension on the planet's surface as a potential blueprint for Azeroth, and the Green Dragon was their later appointed guardian.
This heterotopic plane is located on the physical boundary of the world of Azeroth, and the emerald dream on the surface is a thriving and primeval forest.
The Emerald Dream is what Azeroth originally looked like. It is a reflection of Azeroth's appearance before it was transformed by intelligent beings. The land here is beautiful and pure – with rolling hills, dense jungles, and vast grasslands.
Flora and fauna enjoy boundless freedom here. Even the mountains embrace lush vegetation and calm valleys. It's a place where no elements roam around, no great energy changes the landscape.
As far as Orondo knew, the Emerald Dream was a unique world created by Ai-chan's Titan brothers with his own dreams. It can be simply understood as the dream of the star soul, that is, the dream of Azeroth.
Dreams are the same as reality, and as a result, Emerald Dreams share the same sun, tides, sky, stars, and other primordial things as the real world of Azeroth.
The more he noticed, the more Orondo was blown away by the energy of the Azeroth Soul - his dreams alone created a world comparable to the real world!
Thinking about something related to the Emerald Dream, Orondo walks on the primeval jungle ground. He didn't choose to fly in the sky, as he was now near the central mountain range of the Sunshine Forest.
He was worried that flying in the sky would be discovered by the green dragon.
In the game, the Dream Gate in the middle of the central mountain range is guarded by a green dragon.
In this reality, Orondo doesn't think there's only one green dragon like in the game.
At the junction of reality and dreams, such an important hub, how could the green dragon responsible for guarding dreams be relieved by sending only one powerful person?
In the real world of Azeroth, there are four dream gates. In the original plot, the guards were Isendre, Terral, Emerys, and Lethorne.
Amoris now keeps owls for Orondo in Dalaran, proving that she has not yet taken on the responsibility of guarding the Dream Gate. It is likely that the other three adult green dragons have not yet served as guardians of the Dream Gate.
Of course, it is also possible that the other three green dragons are older. Emoris hadn't gone to the goalkeeper yet, they were already in the goal.
All in all, it won't be easy to explore the four Dream Gates. The green dragons would never welcome a mage into the Emerald Dream Realm, not even if it was a tourist - the mages of the Kadore Empire back then gave them a very bad impression!
Orondo is considering whether the advanced stealth technique improved by Alodi can hide the perception of the green dragon.
Suddenly.
The Eyes of Truth and Elunis's voices rang out at the same time.
[User, a large number of humanoid creatures are found in the first kilometer ahead]
Elunis whispered, "I smell voodoo in front of me!" This stinking energy is primitive and chaotic, but it is one of the origins of your world. ”
Orondo raised his eyes, there was a mountain pass in front of him, and the road was sandwiched between two hills, and he didn't know why Orondo remembered the line of his little aunt's career.
Compared to Egwen's Mount Hyjal, the little aunt's career line is only the scale of this small hill.
The hills on either side are dense tropical broad-leaved forests, and the ground is covered with thick bushes and mossy rocks, so it's not easy to hide a little.
"Can you tell how many there are?" Orondo didn't know what it was.
The Eye of Truth says it's humanoid, but it's too far from Stormwind. And at this time, Stormwind was still fighting wits and courage with the gnolls, so there was no reason to come so far.
Elunis said to smell voodoo...... Then it should be a troll.
Thinking of the valley of thorns to the south, the Sunshine Forest is lush and full of tropical primeval jungle scenery, and it seems reasonable that there will be trolls here.
[The distribution is out of the detection range and cannot be judged.] 】
The Eye of Truth is not omnipotent, it can detect humanoid beings in front of it, but it is actually through Orondo's perception.
Orondo's lack of discernment in his deliberations would remind him of the Eye of Truth.
In other words, if Orondo had been vigilant and observant, he would have been able to spot the hidden humanoids without the Eye of Truth.
It's still a long walk from the central mountain range, and the green dragons shouldn't be able to manage this side. But then again, if this is the territory of the Green Dragon, the trolls wouldn't dare set up camp here.
How?
In fact, he could choose to avoid these trolls by simply using a few simple spells, such as invisibility, or flying over their heads.
But Elunis spoke again.
"Voodoo energy is very bizarre. There is chaos in the primitive, and there is a strange order in the disordered chaos. Child, maybe you can try to analyze it, which can help your understanding of energy. ”
Orondo wasn't ready to avoid the trolls.
He was going to study the voodoo power that the trolls relied on for their survival.
So the mage walked in a straight line, and in front of him was the hiding place of the humanoid creature as judged by the Eye of Truth.
Shout!
Within a few steps, a sharp whistling sound rang out, and a rugged wooden javelin stabbed into the ground not far in front of Orondo. The javelin is deep into the ground, and if it is stabbed in the body, it will definitely pierce the human in half.
The next moment, the trolls in the distance were in full view, with blue-gray skin and moss on their bodies, curling out of the woods like gray blankets. They were armed with a variety of weapons, including sticks and stone knives. Almost no one has full clothing. They shouted as they walked, or brandished seemingly huge weapons as a way to show their bravery.
[Three hundred, four hundred, four hundred and ninety-eight, confirmed number four hundred and ninety-eight.] Three strange individuals were discovered, containing special energy. The Eye of Truth reports the numbers.
The so-called special energy should be the voodoo that Elunis said.
