8. New friends, good friends
The Fear Rift is a tragic microcosm of a shattered world.
The demons destroyed all the civilizations of this nameless world, and then injected evil energy into the heart of the world, brutally destroying the stability of the world, causing it to explode, and the scattered world rubble formed the current terror rift in the stars.
There are some relatively rare resources produced here, so the Legion did not abandon this place, but used it as a stronghold of the Legion, this is the real big rear, and the war of the Burning Legion on the front line cannot be affected here at all, so this small world has been quiet for thousands of years.
But really, it's not as simple as it seems, in this broken stronghold, there are some strategic items that are important to the Legion, including rare soul cauldrons, some magic altars that have been used to contaminate powerful items, and finally a treasure trove, a treasure trove of demons, filled with all kinds of soul crystals, and some Legion weapons waiting to be repaired, etc.
Compared with the military value of the Dreadrift, the value of this land is more reflected in the secrets it hides.
The Burning Legion occupies as many worlds as the vast sea of stars, and no one knows where the fraudster Kilgardan hides his treasures, and keeping it mysterious is always a basic skill that leaders must learn.
In short, this is Kil'Gardan's "home", and the demons of this broken small world are all loyal to Kil'Gardan, at least for now.
This place was originally managed by the Ereda Twins, but after the Twins left after accepting the mission, this place was temporarily entrusted to the management of Lady Agatha, the Witch of Destruction under the command of the Twins, but in the world view of the demons, there is no such thing as power inheritance, and when the Twins are still there, the demons of this world can't beat the Twins, so they are respected as leaders.
But the twins are gone, and it's time for the place to elect a new leader! Instead of relying on the twins' words, they will have to submit to the weak Witch Priestess of Destruction!
The demons' minds are beyond mortal comprehension, and in short, on the 7th day after the Twins left the Dreadmark Rift, a premeditated rebellion broke out, the underpowered Witch of Destruction priestess Agatha was defeated, and the brutal and powerful Abyss Lord Jugnos, the eccentric, brown-red skin and wide wings, became the new leader of the Dreadmark Rift.
Agatha, on the other hand, was squeezed into second place.
If a mortal was planning to start a rebellion, then he would definitely prepare a way to deal with the return of the Twins in advance, but Jugnos, the Lord of the Abyss, didn't think about it at all... If the twins can come back, then return the position of leader to them, anyway, Jagnos can't beat the Ereda Twins, but as long as they don't come back for a day, the abyss lord can enjoy the treatment of the leader for one more day.
You see, the Abyss Lords are always very simple-minded, their brains are full of muscles, they are easily instigated, they like to use violence to solve problems, and they don't think about "tomorrow" or "the future" at all.
"Jugnos is strong, it's crazy, it's against the will of the Ereda Twins, and it's going to die soon! But it doesn't know all this. β
At this time, in a cave on the second floor of the Terror Rift, under the gaze of the four warlocks, the insect whisperer, who was accidentally "rescued" by Simfer, this ugly guy covered in bruises, said in a treacherous and sharp voice while eating the food brought by the warlocks:
"But Karidus knows! Although Jugnos could trample poor Karidus to death with one kick, his brain was not good at all, and the fat guy was jealous of Karidus's intelligence, and he would only torture poor Karidus in madness! Caridus has had enough! β
The one who is chattering is a worm whisperer, well, a weird worm whisperer.
The Wormwhisperer demons are goblin-like in size, with round bodies, ugly fangs, slender arms and thick claws, and a pair of short legs, these guys are one of the few demons of the Burning Legion who are super intelligent, so they are often appointed as the Legion's logistics chief, responsible for handling complicated matters that other demons can't handle, and are occasionally sent into battle to manipulate those intricate weapons of war.
But the price of the Worm Whisperer demons' wisdom is that their strength is so weak that they can't even defeat the demon imps...
In addition, warlocks summon demons to find out the information of the Burning Legion, which is generally achieved through the Worm Whisperer who is accidentally captured, these cunning and intelligent demons, once they fall into the trap, will quickly give up resistance, their brains are very useful, they know how to analyze the pros and cons, and they have a strong desire to survive, so loyalty is completely non-existent for them.
It is said that there are many captured Worm Whisperer demons in the Illidaray Legion, and after being imprisoned for a period of time or tortured, they will choose to join the Illidaray Legion to fight against the Burning Legion, of course, don't expect these shameless guys to remain loyal, once they are threatened, they will quickly rebel.
However, the Worm Whisperers like to collect all kinds of strange things in the stars, they have a kind of collecting habit that other demons do not have, and they also know how to appreciate the art of appreciation, so every adult Worm Whisperer has a mind full of strange knowledge, and can be called the master of knowledge among the stars.
And for warlocks, it is a very lucky thing to be able to enslave an adult worm whisperer, in addition to the headache of staying loyal, summoning a worm whisperer means a treasure trove, opening the door to the lucky warlock.
However, some careless warlocks will also be tricked into traps and killed by the worm whisperers because they want to loot treasures, and the number of such fools is much more than imagined.
But the self-proclaimed "Karidus", picked up by Simfer from the street, is a little different from its compatriots, first of all, Karidus does not have the Zeridus's iconic large backpack, these collectors tend to fill their backpacks with all sorts of things, the larger a Zeridus's backpack is, the higher its status in the Zerg population.
Secondly, Karidus does not have any of the strange pendants that other Worm Whisperers use to decorate his body, he looks very "plain", and this Worm Whisperer is covered with wounds, as if he has been abused for a long time.
Finally, the spirit of Caridus... Well, compared to the other worm whisperers, it is somewhat unstable, a little "crazy", and it looks like it is mentally abnormal, and in its eyes that shine with a cunning light, there is occasionally a little chaos and sluggishness.
And Yubecca also found several horrific scars on the worm whisperer's rag-wrapped head, as if it had been beaten stupid.
"Why did you pick it up?"
Standing deeper in the cavern, the necromancer Yubecca glanced at the chattering Karidus, and she whispered to the High Elf sorcerer Sinfill:
"This worm whisperer is worthless, it's crazy... We don't get any useful news from it. β
"No, it's valuable!"
The High Elf Warlock Sinfer, disguised as a succubus, proudly shook the thing in his hand in front of Eubecca:
"It's worth more than you think! This one! That's what I found in the worm whisperer..."
Yubeka took the cold touch thing, it looked like an identity plate, it was a demonic language, but it was not difficult for a high-level warlock, and she knew the identity of the crazy worm whisperer Karidus at a glance.
"This guy! It's a servant of Jugnos! β
The necromancer was a little surprised, she had been on a spy mission in the Dreadmark Rift for several days, she knew that the current leader of this place was the abyss lord named Jugnos, but what made the necromancer even more curious was that since the worm whisperer Karidus was a servant of the abyss lord Jugnos, why did it faint on the side of the road and be picked up by Simfer?
"Quite simply, this worm whisperer couldn't stand the intensification of the abuse, so he planned to escape, but was blocked by several of Jugnos's minions."
Simfil brushed her hair, and a cold light flashed in her eyes:
"I killed the trackers, and the half-dead Karidus, who was beaten, took me for his "friend", not a fake friend..."
The High Elf Warlock pointed to the pile of junk behind her, and she said to Yubecca:
"Maybe it's really crazy, when I tried it, it didn't hesitate to give me all its "treasures", from its eyes, I could see that this crazy worm whisperer was not joking, and it didn't have the concept of friends in the past when it was abused by the Abyss Lord, it longed for my approval... Do you understand? β
The Warlock lowered her voice, glancing at Karidus in front of her, and she whispered:
"With a little bit of manipulation, I can even trick it into death... And it absolutely, absolutely will not refuse, and the best thing is that the identity of Karidus determines that it can easily take us anywhere in this land! β
The necromancer didn't say anything, she just looked down at the pile of rags, which were ridiculous, worthless, but all the "treasures" of the abused madman bugger, as important as gold coins meant to goblins.
It seems that this crazy bug whisperer has really had a hard time in the past.
Necromancer Yubecca suddenly couldn't bear to drive the worm whisperer to death at this moment, but she was a warlock after all, her heart was hard enough, and after a few seconds, she nodded to Simfer and agreed to the High Elf Warlock's vicious plan, she followed Simfir to the werewolf Sinning and the human warlock Kanressad, and then saw the werewolf's strange expression, as if she had seen something damn about.
"What's wrong?"
Eubecca asked, and the werewolf stretched out his finger and nodded at the madman Bug Whisperer who was feasting on a large piece of beef, the Worm Whisperer was also a demon, they had sharp teeth, and there were fangs similar to orcs at the corners of their mouths, but longer, the guillotine-like teeth easily parted Azeroth's specialty beef, and then with the beating of his tongue, it was enough for the Warlock to eat a day's food, and then it was eaten by the Worm Whisperer.
"It's so edible."
The werewolf pouted:
"In the last 10 minutes, it ate at least five servings... It's like a starving ghost. β
"Haha, the food brought by the new friends is really delicious!"
The mentally disturbed Worm Whisperer Karidus picked up another pickled sausage and munched on it as he greeted the High Elf Warlock Sinfer who was walking towards it:
"Hey! New friend, Karidus would like to thank you! You saved poor Karidus from that starving hell! The hateful Jagnos never feeds Karidus, it only scolds Karidus for being an incompetent waste, it sucks Karidus with a war spear, it hurts too much! It hurt too much at first... But it's okay, it's good to get used to it..."
"It's kind of miserable."
The human warlock Kanresad, who had been watching this scene, also commented faintly:
"This nagging just gave us a detailed account of its life in the past few hundred years, well, there is nothing of value, but even in the eyes of us warlocks, it is miserable enough, that abyss lord has abused it for a full 600 years, I have examined it, there are traces of broken bones all over its body, and some old injuries that have developed into stubborn diseases, it stands to reason that this worm whisperer will not live to adulthood at all..."
"It's a miracle of life."
The silent werewolf warlock added.
Even the ruthless warlocks felt grief for Karidus, which was enough to prove how miserable the life of the madman was in the past.
But grief is grief, it should be used, and valuable things should be used reasonably.
The High Elf Warlock Sinfer struck a gentle gesture, with a disgusting and hypocritical smile on her face, crouched down, took out a few grilled fish from her storage pocket, placed them in front of Karidus, and said to the miserable Worm Whisperer Demon:
"Eat, eat, your misery is over, you have friends, we are all your friends, we will help you deal with Jagnos... You can't beat it, you can only be bullied by it, but we can help, we can help you kill it... As long as you help us with a little thing, like taking us to the energy transmission towers on the first and second floors..."
"Oh? Where do your friends go? β
Calidus happily picked up the grilled fish, and after hearing Simfer's words, the worm whisperer raised his head, looked at his "new friend" suspiciously, and asked curiously:
"There's nothing there but a bunch of baddies who only bully Karidus!"
"We're going to destroy the launch towers so we have enough time to kill Jagnos! Don't you hate it? Don't you want to help us? β
The necromancer Yubecca also lured in:
"As long as you can take us in, we can help you!"
"Are you going to shut off communications from the Dreadscarf, the rift, and beyond?"
Worm Whisperer Karidus is just crazy, it is not stupid, in fact, every Worm Whisperer can be called a "genius" in comparison with the average intelligence of the demons, it listens to the encouragement of the warlocks, and knows what this group of warlocks want to do, but the madman Bug Whisperer is not like his cowardly compatriots, as soon as he hears that these "new friends" are going to help him vent his anger and kill Jugnos, who has abused it for hundreds of years, Karidus immediately refreshed.
He didn't even eat the grilled fish, and said to the sorcerers with his hands dancing:
"No need to go there! New friends, Karidus knows that in the lair of Jugnos, there are crystals that power the tower, and if you destroy them, this place will be completely sealed! Karidus can also send false orders to help you disengage the guards of Jugnos! Yes, it's easy, Calidus has thought many times about how to kill that big bad guy from Jagnos, but no one wants to help poor Karidus. β
"Friends, you can help Karidus! Karidus is here to help! Come with me... We'll take you there now! β
"New friend, follow me!"
With a wave of his hand, the madman Worm Whisperer opened a small channel of evil energy, which was a trick of the Worm Whisperers, a space passage specially designed for escape, which was ridiculed by the other demons as a "dog hole".
"No, Karidus, the plan is this, you go and destroy the crystal alone, and we go straight to the lair of Jugnos!"
Simfer was naturally reluctant to take risks, she didn't believe this madman worm whisperer at all, so she continued to trick this worm whisperer to his death, and she whispered:
"As soon as you succeed, we will immediately launch an attack on that Abyss Lord, and we will only need ten minutes to kill it! It's a bit risky, but it's worth it, and trust me, it only takes one adventure for you to get your revenge! β
