142 [Dark Whispers in Dreams]
Looking at the quicksand small print in front of him, Oryx knew for the first time that this Book of Time also had an achievement function, and he couldn't help frowning slightly.
However, the reward for achieving the achievement goal is not achievement points, but the world line twist.
As the name suggests, there is as much discrepancy as there is from the canonical history, as much as there is a twist in the world line. He had previously rewritten the history of the Northlands and fixed this figure at 2.15%.
I don't know how this value is accurately defined.
Due to the complexity of the historical participants, the intrigue of the Elder Gods, and terrifying beings such as Sagrasna with the best combat power in the universe, the timeline of Azeroth is always in flux.
Even the Titan Al-Mansur, who gave the Bronze Dragon the ability to observe the timeline, couldn't be sure which future would happen definitely.
But this book of time can give the exact number......
That alone is terrible enough, not to mention the ability to do a lot of things that even neither can do.
The 150 time points of the achievement reward greatly replenished Orix's balance, and those few reward items that he had been looking at for a long time were finally able to be bought. This is certainly a good thing, but with that comes the 0.9% worldline torsion.
He was already almost certain that whether the orcs were in a catastrophe and almost became slaves of the Burning Legion again; Or the Scourge Legion unknowingly, destroying Kul Tiras in just two months; Even the ancient gods walked a tightrope to stir up the situation, and other things that are beyond the scope of normal history, all of which were deliberately done by the Book of Time.
As the torsion of the world line increases, the resistance it faces will increase in equal proportions.
Today, with the addition of this 0.9%, there is 3.05% torsion of the world line. Tomorrow the Tomb of Tyr line ends, and 3% of the twist will be credited, which will be the total of 6% twist.
Only 2% led to the catastrophe that should have been borne by Lordaeron, and Li Dai was stiffly received by Kurtiras, and strangely unnoticed by anyone......
And how terrible would 6% be?
Oryx felt that he had to be prepared, and that at some point, something unexpected might happen.
It is still necessary to think about whether this kind of "Li Dai Taozhuang" style of catastrophe transfer is universal, and if we can find out the law of increasing the difficulty of the time code as soon as possible, it will also be good to prevent the catastrophe from happening.
……
That night, the mages set up camp so that they could rest for the night, and the next day they entered the tomb of Tyr to kill Zakhaz and remove the two artifacts.
These are the elite of the Kenrito Six, who are often on secret missions, often traveling around Azeroth, and always have camping supplies for various environments in the Enchanted Space Pack.
In a short time, tents were erected under the influence of magic. There are also mages who have repaired the isolation circle that was damaged during the daytime battle, ensuring that mages who meditate at night to restore their mental power, or use magic nets, will not attract the attention of the outside world.
In contrast, the camp of the High Elves is particularly luxurious, with exquisite tent fabrics, and a series of magical spells such as warmth and constant temperature solidification, all of which are designed to provide convenience for them, ensure comfort, and reduce the cost of magic when going out, so as to save them for a more useful place.
In particular, Romans's camp tent itself is a high-grade magic artifact that solidifies the magic of space, and the internal space is dozens of times larger than the outside.
If it weren't for the top-secret mission, I'm afraid there would have been some servants with me.
The campfire lit up, and the aroma of food soon filled the invisible barrier.
There are game from the forest, and mages summon magic to teleport all kinds of food from their own teleportation anchors, or from the food library open to high-level mages who are on missions outside, and put them on the table for people to take them.
The mages talked and ate in twos and threes, and it was rare to relax.
During the day's battles, it wasn't Dalaran and the High Elf mages who were most tired, but the dragons.
In order to capture the black dragon siblings, most of the dragons were wounded, and even if the red dragon healed, some of them still had to withdraw from the next battle and return to the lair to recuperate. The rest took on human form and went to rest.
After dinner, before going to sleep, Crassus, the blue dragon princess, and a green dragon who chose to take the form of a green-haired night elf arrived at the mage's camp to discuss the tomb.
The plan has been set for a long time, and this time it is just to review and avoid any mistakes.
Tawad, who had recovered from the shock of the day, also participated, and from time to time pointed to the "hologram" of the tomb of Tyr in the magical image in front of him.
Oryx sat in on the sidelines.
He can't use the divine energy yet, and entering the tomb can only help, and maybe he will interact with Zakhaz because his body is full of shadow energy, which will not be good.
He would wait until the danger was cleared before entering the catacomb, trying to see how the seal laid by Azadas, the guardian of the earth among the guardians, suppressed the shadow energy when the tomb was built. Maybe you can't read it, but it's better than not reading it.
If you can understand any tricks, it's better than carrying it yourself.
After listening for a while, he shook his head.
Whenever Crassus and the others took out the information they had previously found in the tomb and asked Tawad for further information, the leader of the Tyr Guards always didn't know anything, and even didn't know as much as the mages.
As expected, as expected, Soladin the Great entered the tomb 2,800 years ago......
Even going back hundreds of thousands of years, the Veku people, who were deeply infected with the curse of flesh and blood, completely degenerated into flesh and blood creatures, lost their former heritage, memories and physique, and became ignorant first humans, before they formed a tribe and developed their own culture, the Tyr Guards had already declined.
When there are many people, there can be more than a dozen, as few as a few, and there are several times when the generation is almost broken.
Now even the method of maintaining the tomb is almost lost, and he suffers from a lack of understanding of arcane magic, and has never known much about the operation of the seal.
That is, when the tomb was first built, it was designed to operate on its own for many years without maintenance. And the Tyr Guards are just a group of Viku "volunteers" who came to guard the tomb, not defenders, otherwise, after so many years, not to mention whether Tyre can rest in peace, the Zakhaz sealed inside would have long since recovered and cursed Azeroth again, just like the companion who was also seriously injured but fled far away from the mountains of Zandalara.
No wonder when Soladin the Great entered the tomb, there was no Tyr guard to guard him at all, and no one told him that there was a powerful and terrifying Zaqaz sealed inside, which directly led to the founding emperor who entered the tomb without preparation, and had to suppress Zaqaz's recovery at the cost of his life.
Of course......
The catacombs are in a worrying condition, and there is also a pot of Azadas. Azadas and Alonnaya had been asleep for too long to come and check the seals on time.
Oryx was extremely puzzled early on, and with the addition of the seal, Zakaz's recovery must have been a rather slow process. The cataclysm accelerated this phenomenon by causing damage to the tombs and loosening of seals.
But the Cataclysm and the "Return of the Legion" were separated by many years, which at least meant that the tomb was already in danger long before the "Weapons War" took Sdomka during the "Return of the Legion" period, the first to enter the tomb.
What was the Tyr Guard doing during this time? Why did he remain indifferent to Zachaz's recovery beyond the threshold of the seal, neither asking for help nor warning the outside world?
The reason why the secret of the location of the tomb of Tyr must not be revealed is not convincing. Letting Zakaz out to bring disaster to the world is even more worthy of Tyr's sacrifice.
Can't enter the catacombs before? It's also not right, because during the mission of the second "milk rider" who entered the tomb, Tawad and the others were not only familiar with the structure of the tomb, but also controlled the defense mechanism of the tomb to a certain extent, so it was obviously not the first time they had entered.
Now he knew that this generation of Tyr guards, including the leader Tawad, was obviously ill-informed and limited-visioned, not only did not understand how terrible Zakaz was, but also stubbornly and rigidly clung to the creed of secrecy.
Knowing that the danger factor is getting higher and higher, but there is nothing to be done; Knowing that someone can help him solve this problem, but hoping for the tomb's self-healing mechanism, he is unwilling to reveal the location of Tyr's tomb - no wonder the tomb was damaged after the cataclysm, and things got out of hand.
It's infuriating, but it's also pathetic.
"Master Crassus, how are you going to deal with Zakhaz?" During the dinner, Oryx suddenly asked.
Crassus pulled a branch from his bosom with young emerald leaves.
The moment he took it out, a fragrance permeated, refreshing his heart, and Oryx seemed to be washed by some strange power, and even his thoughts, which had become more and more manic due to the influence of the shadow energy in his body, were also calm.
"It's ......"
Not only him, but Luo Ning, Romans and others were also slightly surprised. The latter seemed to have guessed the origin of the branch, and his eyes became complicated.
Crassus explained, "This is a branch of the World Tree, which I commissioned the Cenarion Council of the Night Elves to cut down before I set out. ”
Oryx understood.
That's also a way to do it.
"A branch of the World Tree?" Ronin was even more surprised, the mages of Dalaran certainly knew about the Night Elves of Kalimdor and the World Tree that had been planted after the War of the Ancients - the High Elves had told them that the Great Library of Dalaran contained many corresponding history books written by the High Elves.
However, Ronin doesn't know much about it, he only knows the horror of Zakaz, but he doesn't know the effect of the branches of the World Tree, "Can it remove the corruption brought by Zakaz, or even destroy it?" ”
"Of course not," Crassus shook his head, "but as a support." Years ago, the Cenarion Council used the branches of the World Tree to clear the Saron Evil Iron Veins that had been spawned by the aura of darkness. In the tomb, we will spawn this branch and use it to suppress the dark energy. If we want to kill Zakaz completely, we still have to rely on ourselves. ”
Although "life" does not directly correspond to "shadow", the original power that most restrains the shadow is undoubtedly the holy light of the divine realm, but the life that belongs to the embodied energy of the three positive source forces also has a certain similar effect.
Oryx really wanted to ask, the antiquity of the ancients, even Tyr couldn't kill the two Krasis generals, so he could only blow them up and hit them hard. How can we do what Guardians can't?
He subconsciously thought that he could only strengthen the seal.
But on second thought......
This setting is already full of loopholes, how did the mere Amani troll 16,000 years ago hunt down Kihikx, who was as terrible as Zakhaz, to the current position of Zuaman, with his mortal body and those who are worshipped as "Loa gods", in fact, more than half of the power given by the primordial nature spirits who are far weaker than the demigods of the wilderness, killed Kiriks, who even the guardians can't kill......
Not to mention, the "Great Lord" did the same thing with just a few slashes.
Well, there is really no need to dwell on this kind of setting.
The discussion went on for a while, and everyone was already surprised that Crassus had already arranged everything. It wasn't until the plan was confirmed that there were no omissions that everyone returned to their respective tents, recuperated and waited for the dawn.
Oryx went to bed early.
For some reason, after the body was occupied by the shadow energy, it became a little ...... Excessive drowsiness.
In his sleep, he heard a whisper that seemed to come from the abyss......
