The sun gradually came from the south to the north, the earth warmed up, the cold snap in the far north was no longer gone, and the northern land began to reveal a thin layer of green. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info But deep in the Alterac Mountains, it's still a land of ice and snow, and spring here is not only late, but also short.

The Ott Peak, about 7,000 meters above sea level, is sealed in the clouds all year round, and it is rare to see the majestic whole. However, today, the sky is cloudless, the sky is as blue as a wash, and the shape of the ancient Hongzhong finally reveals its true face.

Although Joka used to go into the mountains with her grandfather, it was the first time she had actually seen this all-Alterac symbol after 17 years of life. Standing at the foot of the mountain, facing the highest peak in the northern part of the Eastern Kingdom, she was deeply shocked.

Leonard, who was accompanying him, exhaled a cold breath and said, "Ultra Peak, it will generally only fully appear half a month after the Twilight Spring Festival, and the time is only a few days, so you came at the right time." ”

Now, all the Thunderspear Dwarves have moved here, and he is the new patriarch. Hearing his words, Zoka was startled, and then realized that his vacation had passed......

"It's over...... It's too late. Zoka groaned, he was sure to have violated discipline this time, and he would be punished when he returned......

"It's still too late." Leonard hurriedly comforted: "We have researched, he should have been hit by some kind of petrification curse and became a half-human and half-puppet, as long as he finds a way to lift the curse, he should be able to recover." Even if he maintained his current condition, as long as he didn't force his movements, he wouldn't die. ”

"Perhaps, I'll outlive ...... all of me," Leonard added, after a thought.

This sentence is purely a snake painting, and Zhuoka's heart immediately pinched, dwarves can live for 500 years, and humans can live for so long, isn't that a monster!

Leonard immediately realized that there was something wrong with his words, and quickly changed the subject, pointing to a cave embedded in the foot of the mountain.

This is where Safi and Albert took Gelda hostage.

Without time to hesitate, the anxious Zoka didn't wait to lead the way, and went headlong into it.

Behind the cave is a tunnel, looking at the direction, it leads to the belly of the mountain, winding and winding with no end in sight. Leonard hurriedly grabbed his head and said, "It's complicated inside, don't break in, follow me." ”

With that, Leonard took out a stick from his bosom and struck it on the rock wall, and a gem on the end of the stick immediately lit up, illuminating the vicinity as if it were daylight.

All the way deep, the tunnel is endlessly deep, giving people a heavy sense of oppression. As a dwarf, Leonard is unfazed by this, and introduces them to their earth-shattering discoveries here along the way.

"Can you imagine? There are all kinds of indications that this is likely to be the resting place of the founder of mankind, Soladin the Great! Leonard said excitedly.

Zoka was stunned for a moment, paused slightly, and asked suspiciously, "Isn't Emperor Soladin buried in the tomb of Tyr?" ”

Leonard shook his head, motioned for Djoka to continue, and continued, "I don't know exactly what happened, but it must have something to do with Soladin the Great. ”

Zoka nodded, and continued to follow Leonard deeper into the depths, listening to his story.

There is a thing in the world called "inside information", which is difficult for outsiders to know, and the thunder spear dwarves are not interested in it. They are not the old pedants of the Guild of Ironforge Explorers, who are only interested in something valuable, and the so-called history, apparently, is not included.

After walking inward for about half an hour, his eyes suddenly opened up, and a huge mountain belly space appeared in front of him, so abrupt, Zhuoka was suddenly stunned. The space here is relatively oval, at least 300 meters in diameter, and the rock walls are covered with shiny crystals, reflecting the huge space in a milky white color.

"It's unimaginably beautiful!" Leonard shook his head and sighed, intoxicated.

Zoka continued to observe.

Looking up, the oval-shaped dome is covered overhead, and the bottom is pitch black below. Directly opposite the two of them, a semi-natural stone bridge leads to the opposite side, and there seems to be an altar in the center of the bridge, and four stone statues are arranged at the four corners, which are too far away to be seen.

"Oh...... He is on that altar, come with me, and do not overtake me. Realizing his gaffe, Leonard hurriedly pointed to the altar in the bridge and said, after saying that, he grabbed Zoka's wrist and pulled her behind his back without letting go.

Zoka didn't know why, but he didn't refuse.

Soon, Djoka knew why Leonard had done this, and as he approached the altar, many stone statues appeared on the ground, all of which were broken into pieces.

"These are not statues, but people who were once alive, my girl." Leonard said nervously, carefully avoiding the stone fragments.

Zoka was startled, and then she saw the person she was looking for - Gherda!

Gelda lay on his back on the two-metre-square altar, his eyes closed and motionless, his body a strange gray color, similar in texture to stone, and tightly attached to the stone altar to become a whole. With his hands on his chest, he held a sword with an ancient shape, a warrior who was buried below.

Zoka was so shocked that he was about to pounce on her, but Leonard seemed to know that she would behave like this, so he hurriedly hugged her by the waist, pulled her back hard, and shouted: "You can't enter the altar easily, otherwise, you will become like him!" ”

Djoka gasped and calmed down, only to notice the four stone statues looking down on the altar, their bodies were similar to human bodies, but their faces only had a pair of slender eyes that were tilted inward, and there were no other facial features, which was terrifying to watch.

"These are the Faceless, the servants of the evil gods, and they can only enter the altar when they all close their eyes." Leonard explained in a deep voice, holding Zoka's hand tightly, pinching her in pain.

Zoka sat on the floor and sobbed, she could never have imagined that Gerda would become like this.

The wait didn't last long, and before the altar could change, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps in the tunnel, from far and near. The two looked back and saw a dwarf staggering out of the tunnel, panting all the way.

Leonard frowned, stood up and shouted, "What's going on?" ”

The dwarf held his knees and gasped, and said with difficulty, "Patriarch, those rabbit cubs...... It's really coming, a whole 5,000 people! ”

Leonard was shocked when he heard this, and dragged Zhuoka to run back, killing the troops of Sauron, the new king of Alterac, which were all expected, but he didn't expect that he would collect 5,000 troops in such a short time!

They had just taken two steps when suddenly a hoarse murmur came from behind them, "Is it Djoka?" ”

The three of them were startled, turned around, and saw that Gelda, who had been half-lithized, had opened his eyes!

"Oh my God...... You're alive! Leonard was so stunned that he unconsciously let go of his grip on Zoka, and then he found that Zoka, who was completely out of control, pounced on him again.

Luckily, he was a good scout, quick to catch Zoka's ankle, and both of them fell to the ground.

"Don't come here!" Gerda said motionlessly, short and forcefully.

The two dwarves hurriedly grabbed Zoka and pulled it back like a rope, and Leonard asked, "What is going on, what has happened to you?" ”

As if in thought, Gerda said, "I have slept and learned many things, that when Soladin the Great and the evil god perished, the slave of the evil god brought his heart here, and at the cost of his life, he was trapped. ”

At this moment, there was another sound of hurried footsteps in the tunnel, and a dwarf rushed onto the stone bridge, out of breath and shouted, "Patriarch, the enemy has begun to attack!" We need to command! ”

"Hey!" Leonard slapped his thigh with hatred, dragged Zoka and ran outside, and the little girl who was not convinced struggled desperately.

Gelda was still muttering to himself, "The Emperor's heart was nourished by the mountains and rivers here, and he became stronger and stronger, and his consciousness began to awaken, but at this moment, he was stolen, and this land also lost its soul. ”

"Gelda!" With tears streaming down his face, Zoka was dragged backwards, struggling desperately.

Boom!

With a muffled sound, Zoka's eyes darkened, and he fell softly, and one of the dwarves shook the stone chips in his hand and muttered, "I...... It's also for her good ......"

"You're doing the right thing!" Leonard slapped the guard on the shoulder, picked up Zoka, and led the two dwarves headlong into the tunnel.

In the distance, a half-rock Gerda is still whispering, "Give me some more time, maybe, I have a way to ......" (to be continued.) )
