Chapter 874: Supreme Ridge (1/2)
Each of the five Pillars of Creation must be obtained.
The difficulty varies.
After all, the "Shield of Agrama" is actually relatively difficult to get, because no one has ever passed Odin's trial, which is too difficult.
Theoretically, if you want to defeat Heimdall, Hera, and Fenreal, you have to be at least close to the level of a demigod, or even a real demigod.
There is no simple creature that has lived for tens of thousands of years, such as the gods of the wilderness, such as Viren, such as Malfurion.
Although he was very confident in Uther, Jiang Zai also had to admit:
In fact, Uther's chances of victory are not great.
It's not Uther who is really tough to deal with, it's the god-king Skowald.
Skorwald is a Viku king native to Stormfjord.
The Viku people who can become kings must be high-level legends, such as King Imiron of the Dragon Raider Clan.
After all, King Imironon has been asleep for an unknown number of thousands of years, and his strength is still maintained in its original state.
And the god king Skowald is not only the most powerful Viku king in history, but also has been fighting against the underworld, has rich combat experience, and his strength is naturally not comparable to King Imiron.
This being, even stronger than Heimdall and the others, is also qualified to compete for the "Agrama Shield".
He is Uther's real rival.
But as Jiang Zai said:
He would not allow the shield of Agrama to fall into the hands of the god-king Skowald, because the king was not in the right mind and did not deserve the artifact.
The rules set by Odin allow anyone to participate in the trial, and the noble Odin will naturally not violate the rules he has set.
So, once the god-king Skorwald got the shield of Agrama, Odin couldn't deprive him of it-
The gods have faces.
But Jiang Zai can.
He doesn't need to follow Odin's rules, he only follows his own heart.
So, Agrama's Shield, he is not worried.
Now, he's going to look for the other four artifacts.
The Tears of Elune, the Stone of the Tides of the High Ganas, the Hammer of Kazgros, the Eye of Amansur.
Four artifacts, among which the "Tears of Elune" don't need to worry, in Tyrande's hands, if you want to borrow it and use it, it will definitely be fine.
The other three pieces, respectively, are in different places, and if you want to get them, you must grab them.
The Eye of Almansur is in the hands of the Children of the Night, and the most difficult to grab and relatively easy to obtain are the other two.
Which one to choose first?
Jiang Zai did not hesitate.
He calculated the distance and found that it was obviously closer to the Supreme Ridge, where the "Hammer of Kaliros" was located, so he flew there.
…………
The Minotaurs are an ancient race that once fought in the War of the Ancients.
Later, in the collapse of the heavens and the earth, it split into several branches.
One of them settled in the bleak lands of the continent of Kalimdor, and was later driven by the centaurs to Mogore, where they founded Thunder Bluff.
The Minotaurs there are few in number, have a gentle temperament, and although they have joined the tribe, they are actually closer to the Night Elves, with shamanic and druidic heritages.
The other group settled on the Supreme Ridge.
Kaolin tribes.
Not a clan, but a collective name for a number of Minotaur clans.
Compared to Kalimdor's relatives, the Minotaurs here are wilder and more powerful.
The minotaurs here do not have a druidic heritage, and the shamanic teachings are more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
A greater number of shamans were born in the community, and more powerful warriors were born.
Whether it is individual combat effectiveness or comprehensive strength, it is stronger than Thunder Cliff.
It's not just the Minotaurs, there's another race:
Drogbar.
This is a race that does not occur in other regions, and all the people of the clan are concentrated on the High Ridge.
A very special race.
A primordial race.
Humans are descendants of the Flesh Viku, and the Flesh Viku are the descendants of the Veku, who are Titans, and their main material is rock.
The same goes for Drogbar.
This race is similar to the "Earth Spirits", both of which are the earliest Titan creations, but they are more similar to the "Cavemen", because they are not mainstream Titan creations, and they are all defective products.
In ancient times, the Black Dragon King, who was the "guardian of the earth", gathered them and some goblins to serve him.
After all, the power of Drogbal to control the earth belongs to the direct domain of the Black Dragon King, and he must obey the orders of the Black Dragon King.
Later, the Black Dragon King degenerated into Deathwing, and Dragobal still did not get out of control.
Deathwing lived here for a while, and created a lair called "Nesario's Lair", which is now Dragobar's lair in the southern part of the High Ridge.
Zogbar, who has obtained the power of the earth, is actually very powerful, much more powerful than the earth spirit.
The Kaolin tribe has the heritage of the Kaolin tribe, which is the "Hammer of Kazgros".
It's actually very interesting.
Kazgros is a titan who controls the earth and forges divine power, and is the giver of the power of Azadas and the Black Dragon King, so this artifact belonging to Kazgros should naturally belong to the Black Dragon King.
In fact, it is.
After the Battle of the Ancients, Deathwing was badly wounded and returned to the lair of the High Ridge to recuperate from his wounds and continue to enslave Dragobar.
But in fact, Dragobal had long wanted to break free from Deathwing's control, so he secretly joined forces with the Kaolin Minotaurs.
There was a minotaur hero named "Hunn", who learned the whereabouts of the hammer of Kazgros from the king of Drogbal at that time, and then ......
Stealing the artifact.
Using the artifact's power, Huon chased away the mortally wounded Deathwing, but was wounded himself, and then died soon after.
This artifact has been passed down from generation to generation in the hands of the Minotaurs.
Because of this alliance, Dragobal was freed from Deathwing's grasp, and has been at peace with the Minotaurs for countless years, until now.
I don't know what kind of changes have been caused because of Jiang Zheng's arrival, in short, the plot has been advanced.
Not long ago, Drogbar's Underground King, Dagul, once again joined the command of Deathwing, sneaking up and killing the Grand Chief of Kaolin, "Ulan Kaolin", snatching the hammer of Kazgros and returning to Nesario's lair.
Interestingly, the Kaolin tribes, which have been scattered again for thousands of years, have not united.
Yes, it's that pathetic.
Although the new Grand Chief of Kaolin, "Mera Kaolin", has been trying to unite the major clans, preparing to join forces against the King of the Underworld and recapture the hammer of Kazgros, but has been unsuccessful.
The three major clans, for various reasons, did not respond to Mera's call.
The Kaolin clans are already difficult to unite again.
It was in this situation that Jiang Zheng came.
In a gloomy cave, Jiang Zai found Mera Gaoling.
