【19】Abyssal Tide (Entrance)
When everyone entered the temple, they saw that the temple was empty, and there was no one else at all except for a large square well in the center. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
"What about the Twilight cultists? Why haven't you seen any of them? The orc warrior Kaslak clenched his battle axe and looked around.
"No need to look for it, they must have jumped under this well!" The orange-haired gnome said.
"Gnomes, you said they were down there!?" Kaslak hurriedly looked down the well, but it was pitch black below and he couldn't see anything clearly, "Hey gnomes!" I can't see anything! How can you be sure they're down there?"
"If they don't go down, where are they going to hide? It's so small here~" The orange-haired dwarf gestured to the temple.
"Don't worry, I'll try to find out~" The thief Dullin on the side interjected, he picked up a stone and threw it into the well, only to see a sound of a stone falling into the water after a while, "There is water below!" But it's hard to know if there's anyone......," Duelff was unsure.
"I thought it was so clever, it turned out to be such a stupid method~" At this time, the graybeard dwarf mage on the side said.
"Hey! What are you talking about, Graybeard dwarf?! Duelin said angrily.
"I-say-you-stupid~" the dwarven mage said word by word.
"You stinky dwarf! ......" Durinf was about to have a seizure when he was pulled away by the Barbarian Totem and Jinji, and the graybeard dwarf smiled proudly, "Okay! Watch and see how I light up below! With that, he pointed his staff down the well and chanted, "Esdomeb, elemental fire, please give me the power of fire!" ”
The flames condensed on the dwarf's staff, forming a huge fireball, and then shot straight to the bottom of the well, the fireball passed through the place was illuminated, everyone saw the situation under the well, this well is at least ten meters deep, the surrounding well walls are square stone, and there is a pool of water at the bottom of the well, a huge fireball rushed into the pool, and it still shined in the water for a short time before it was extinguished, but only this short time also let everyone see the underwater scene, everyone saw that there was no living creature under the pool, and the bottom of the tan was inclined to the side, There seems to be a waterway on the other side.
"There's a passage down there!" Orc Kaslak shouted.
"Twilight Lord, could they have escaped through this underwater passageway?"
"In that case, let's go down quickly! Be sure to get rid of the Twilight Lord and the dragon! The Night Elf Druid said as he prepared to jump into the well.
"- Elven druid, you wait!" At this point, Tallendra and the Dryad sisters entered the temple and stopped the elven druid, who seemed to be refreshed.
"Dear Tarindra...... Do you think that those wicked people are not underneath this? The elven druid asked.
"No, I smell evil down here, and the Twilight Hammer people should be down here."
"Then why did you stop me from going down?!"
"Druid, it's not that I won't let you go down, I'm just afraid that you will be vengeful and emotionally overwhelmed by reason, and this abyss down there is very dangerous, and I can't walk with you, so I must warn you something."
"Huh? Tarindra, why can't you go down with us? Everyone exclaimed, and even the always proud dwarves and dwarf mages looked nervous.
"Because I am the daughter of Cenarius, the demigod of the jungle, I grew up in the forest, and the soil, the plants, the sun, the rain, the wind, and the stars are my friends, my life, they are the source of my strength, my power is in nature. And the sea and the abyss do not belong to me, its power is controlled by other gods, so I have no power in the sea, and I will drag you down if I go down with you. Talindra said.
"Ah...... Wouldn't we have to deal with that terrible three-headed dragon on our own? Everyone was uneasy.
"Yes, but you don't have to worry too much, Akumer has been seriously injured by me just now, its strength has been greatly reduced, and I will give you natural protection later, so that Akumer's venom cannot hurt you."
"Great!" Hearing Tarindra say this, everyone became confident again.
"It's just that in addition to the followers of Twilight's Hammer and Akumer, you may encounter another enemy, and that's what I'm worried about." But Tarindra changed her mind again.
"Another enemy?" "Who is it? Is it as powerful as Twilight Lord Kerris?" The crowd asked.
Tarendra replied, "They are not a single person, but a race called the Naga. ”
"Naga?" The crowd didn't react much, except for the elven druid, who looked at Tarindra in a daze, as if he had heard terrible news.
"Look at the stone walls around this temple." Tarindra pointed around the temple, which was surrounded by stone walls with reliefs, and since we had just come in to find the Twilight Lord, we were only looking around the square well in the center of the temple, and didn't pay much attention to what was carved into the stone walls around the temple.
Tarindra came to a stone wall, and she pointed to the relief pattern on the stone wall and said, "This is the story of Naga, you can see if you can understand anything." ”
We followed the past and gathered in front of the stone wall, only to see that the stone wall was carved with some patterns of gods, men and halflings and snakes, and these patterns were all connected together, like a long picture scroll, as if telling a story and a history:
The first pattern of the stone wall is a group of people surrounding a well, they worship the well, and seem to rely on this well to gain some power, and then the well is occupied by a horned god (or demon), and it opens a door in the well, and the well soon collapses, and the people's homes are shattered, and their homes and palaces are swallowed up by the sea, and everyone sinks into the sea, but they do not die in the sea, but get a god (or demon?) without a face. The lower body of the body was transformed into a large serpent, into a group of half-human, half-snake creatures, and from then on they worshipped this faceless god as their master and followed it ever since......
Tarindra began to explain, "This stone wall tells the story of the collapse of the Well of Eternity in Azeroth in ancient times, and these people are the upper elves who worship the magic of the Well of Eternity, and they are actually the same race as the current Night Elves......"
The elf druid on the side listened to the story, and the color of his face alternated red and purple.
"The Well of Eternity was polluted by the power of the Dark Titan Sargeras, when the elves found that the power of the Well of Eternity was polluted, there was a huge division inside, some elves believed that the Well of Eternity was polluted by the power of evil, and they could no longer continue to rely on the magic of the well water to survive, so they chose to follow the power of nature, leaving the Well of Eternity and their original home, and entering the forest to survive, and this part of the elves became the current Night Elves. The other part of the elves, because they felt that they could not leave the magic of the well water, chose to stay in their homeland and rely on the polluted eternal well to survive, and these elves became the upper elves. ”
"And the polluted Well of Eternity was not cured, but later there was a terrible collapse, the whole of Azeroth because of the collapse of the Well of Eternity, the land was torn, the sea poured in, the world was turned upside down, the elven king closest to the Well of Eternity bore the brunt, the elven city sank into the sea, almost all the upper elves were swept into the sea, but they did not all drown, some of the upper elves met the god of the abyss sealed by the ancient Titan in the sea, Enzos in order to allow himself to be reborn, Give some of his power to these upper elves, making them their followers. ”
"These upper elves who became followers of Enzos have undergone tremendous changes in their bodies and appearances, their lower bodies have turned into large snakes, and their upper bodies have grown four arms, and after receiving the power of Enzos, these upper elves can even have immortal life and powerful magic power without relying on the Well of Eternity, so they no longer call themselves upper elves, but followers of the abyssal god Enzos - Naga."
After Tarindra finished describing the story on the last relief, she looked back at everyone, who could not calm down for a long time, still shocked by the long history just now.
"So you know, this is Naga's temple, and under this temple is likely to be Naga's lair, and the enemy you will face next is them - the mutated upper elves who have gained the power of Enzos, the god of the abyss."
"Tarindra, the Night Elves are not afraid of them, please tell me what their weaknesses are?!" The Night Elf Druid said excitedly.
"I don't know their weaknesses either, because these Nagas have been hiding under the sea, planning and waiting for the time for Enzos to be reborn, and almost no one on the ground knows of their existence until Illidan Fury was rescued by one of their empresses a few years ago."
"Isn't it just the end of the day? So why are you talking so much nonsense with us? The thief Duhrinf replied.
"......" Tarindra was speechless, she coughed dryly, and then said to us, "Although I don't know the weaknesses of the Naga, as I said earlier, I can give you natural protection so that the venom of Akumal cannot hurt you. With that, she held her hands high, and green light shone out of her, turning into wisps of light that melted into us, and all of us shone with a green shimmer.
After Tarindra cast this spell, her spirit seemed a little weaker, and she said to us: "Ladies and gentlemen, this guardian of nature can last for half a day, and Akumer's venom will not be able to harm you for half a day, as long as you restrain his two heads that can breathe frost and flame, you can get rid of it!" ”
"Understood!" All of us shouted in unison.
"Good! Then go down, and you must sweep away the evil beneath the abyss!" Before Tarindra's voice fell, the Night Druid was the first to jump down the well, followed by the human paladins, the great druid beard totem, the orc warriors, me, the priests, the warlocks, and the dwarves and dwarf mages all jumped down the well and headed for the abyss beneath the temple.
