Chapter 36: The Origin of the Flesh Curse
"What is this?" After reading the memory thoroughly, Carlin suddenly frowned.
This is probably the memory of Imiron, the king of the Dragon Raiding Clan, before his death...... In other words, King Imiron, in order to stop the Flesh curse from spreading to his people, caused all the Viku and Ancestral Dragons to fall into a deep sleep.
Carlin can guess a little bit about what the future holds! Decades later, the Lich King Arthas broke into the castle, dismissing King Imiron's obsession......
The Scourge Legion ruled by Arthas needs more powerful combat power, and these Viku, who have been sleeping for a long, long time, have become the best choice for him! The Lich King awakens the long-sleeping Flesh Viku. and promised that as long as their kings were loyal to the Lich King, they would be able to escape the curse of flesh and blood, gain eternal life, and gain endless power. At this point, Imiron led his flesh and blood Viku to officially join the Scourge and became the Lich King's right-hand man.
Eventually, with the Alliance Expeditionary Force and the Explorers' Guild joining forces to reach the top of Utgard, the entire Dragonsnatcher Clan was reduced to history.
It's better not to let it happen, the combat effectiveness of the Scourge Legion in the future can be reduced a little, a little!
Carlin still has a problem, though.
"You say this King Imiron is a legendary creature?" He asked in his mind to the omniscient eye.
"Yes!" The All-Seeing Eye replied decisively.
"Is he really that strong?" Carlin was even more puzzled! Legendary, for mages, it is above the nine rings, and the nine ring mages in the entire Silver Moon City are only two kings of Anastarian and the chairman of the Silver Moon Council, and the nine rings mages in the entire continent will not exceed ten! As for the legendary mage, it may be that the current guardian "Medivan" is only one! If King Imironon has legendary strength, why will he be easily deceived by the Lich King, who is also a legendary-level (demigod), in the future, and even pledge allegiance to him?
"He's a legendary creature indeed, but he's not very strong!" The All-Seeing Eye commented, "Even this King Imiron at his peak is far inferior in combat power to that Eight-Ring Mage on the Sunfury Spire!" ”
"Why not Kane-Sunrage? It's impossible, the eight rings and the legend, the gap is so big? ”
"Yes, the difference between the different legendary creatures is very different!" The All-Knowing Eye explains, "Especially the highly intelligent beings who have advanced through self-directed learning and comprehension have compared to the lower intelligent beings who have advanced through God's gifts!" ”
"Is that so?" Carlin nodded.
No wonder in the Battle of the Ancients 10,000 years ago, Akmund, the vanguard general of the Burning Legion, was able to break the neck of the legendary white demigod Malorn with one hand, directly; And on the same Upper Akmund, when he encounters the legendary-level upper elf Queen Azhara, he will be afraid, and he will not have the courage to fight with it!
In other words, those various animal demigods on Mount Hyjal seem to have legendary-level strength, but in fact they are purely war scum...... Let a legendary mage like Egwene or Medivan at the peak of his life pass, and maybe he can fight ten!
The Titan-empowered King of Imiron, in fact, is similar...... Karin estimated that if he could break through the seventh and eighth rings in the next few decades, he would be able to easily control the entire dragon raider clan before the Lich King.
Carlin, thinking, took a few steps towards the throne.
"Wait, host!" The Omniscient Eye hurriedly said: "Although the strength of this King of Imironon is not strong, it is very different from the host, and it may be dangerous to be connected to its spirit rashly!" ”
"It's okay, I'm in my own measure!" Carlin whispered, then picked up the scepter on the throne's side!
……
"One...... Genie? A heavy, rugged voice sounded in Carlin's head: "You seem so weak that you dare to try to wake me up?" ”
"Yes, King Imiron!" Karin replied calmly, "I saw the fragments of memories you left behind, and I know about what happened to you and the Dragon Raider Clan, that's why I came to you!" ”
"Haha, that's funny...... Now that you've seen my memory fragments, you should know 'I swear that whoever can help us lift the Flesh curse will be loyal to him...... but I'm sure this man is not that weak for you!' ”
"Of course, I can't do it right now...... But I may know the root of your flesh curse? ”
"The source of the Flesh Curse? Quick, you say it! King Imiron roared.
"Calm down, King Imiron!" Carlin whispered, "You should be well aware that in the Storm Cliffs of the North, an ancient god is being held! ”
"Of course I know that!" King Imiron seemed a little calmer: "Thousand-throated Yogsaron! When the Titans strangled him, we Dragon Raiders were there! Lorcan, the Lord of Wisdom, is now holding him in prison Ulduar, what's wrong? ”
"A very unfortunate news, tens of thousands of years ago, in the Grizzly Bear Hills, a group of elves...... That is, my compatriots planted a World Tree, but because the roots were so deep that they even reached the prison of Yugsaron, his dark power began to leak out! ”
"What, I've never heard of this!"
"It was nature, and the elves quickly sensed that something was wrong and destroyed the World Tree...... But that doesn't stop the spread of the dark power of Yogsaron! Over time, Yugsaron began to influence everything around him. Even Loken, the wise king who guards Yogsaron, seems to have fallen into madness, as if he has been corrupted by the ancient gods, and perhaps in a few decades, the entire prison will be shattered and Yogsaron will be released! ”
"No, we can't let this happen!" King Imironon shouted angrily, "Elves, are you going to organize a war against Yogsaron? You want to reawaken us and join this war? ”
"There will be a day!" Carlin said calmly, "But not now...... When that day comes, we will naturally awaken all the Titan creations and join this war! But this time, I'm just here to remind you of the roots of the Flesh Curse! In addition, in the future, the minions of Yogsaron may tempt you or deceive you, and they may disguise themselves as all kinds of creatures, such as undead creatures, so I warn you in advance not to be fooled! ”
"Okay...... Thanks for the reminder! King Imironon said in a deep voice, "If one day in the future, you can really help us solve the root of the Flesh Curse...... The entire Dragonsnatcher Clan will swear your allegiance to death! ”
"I hope there will be a day!"
