Chapter 214: Ancestral Soul
Tamred's mention immediately attracted everyone's attention. At this moment, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became awkward.
"Destroy the Dark Gate while Akmund is leaving" - the moment this idea was proposed, many people's hearts were shaken.
Although the differences between the new alliance and the old alliance were resolved because of the battle of the Sador Bridge and the battle of the South Gate, it was the result of the old alliance having to compromise, and the unpleasant meeting in the throne hall was still fresh in everyone's memory, and it was impossible for them to forget Jiang Weihan and the new alliance's challenge to the old order so quickly.
Tanred stood up and continued to talk: "No matter what price we will pay to rescue His Excellency Jiang Weihan and those expeditionary forces, and whether it will succeed, and whether such an operation will make the war situation in Azeroth ⊙ ∠wan⊙∠shu⊙ba, ±↓m side will become more difficult, just one point, the rescue operation is full of unknown risks, and whether it is successful or not, it will not affect the situation of the war too much." But if we do that, I mean destroy the Dark Gate, I don't think anyone can deny that this is a great opportunity - we can escape the shadow of the Burning Legion and even lead our army and people back to the Eastern Kingdom to rebuild our homeland! ”
More people began to waver, because what Thanred said sounded reasonable.
He exclaimed, "Maybe the heroes who are trapped in the Outlands will be more dangerous, but I think it's worth it - their sacrifice in exchange for more peace!" ”
"Some people may think that such a mention is very cold and ruthless, but if I were to be put in that environment, I would be willing to make sacrifices for it!"
Tannred said impassionedly. And in various considerations, many people secretly agree with this mention. Just a few days ago. They had just reached Kalimdor safely with the help of the new coalition, and it was obviously very selfish to agree with Tamred at this meeting to discuss how to implement the rescue plan.
No matter how thick-skinned a politician is, he won't turn his face right away.
Svein looked at the young prince indifferently. He asked in a deep voice, "Is this the opinion of Kul Tiras, or is it your personal opinion?" ”
Tenred looked at his father, Admiral Dalin, who was frowning slightly, and he knew it was tacit. Tamred was inspired and replied, "Although this is my personal suggestion, I believe that sensible people will agree!" ”
"On the contrary," Svein said with undisguised mockery, staring at the triumphant prince, "I think only a fool would agree with that." ”
In an instant, many people's faces became gloomy and terrifying. The temperature in the conference room seemed to have dropped by more than a dozen degrees suddenly, from a scorching summer day to a cold winter. Many of the people who thought that Thanreid's solution was feasible were secretly angry. Although they have not yet made it clear, they do think that destroying the Dark Gate is a good idea.
"Are you insulting me? Lame person! Tanred looked at him angrily, and the calm eyes of the other looked back at him, and the raven on Svein's shoulder, and the dark eyes that shone dangerously, sending chills down the young prince's back.
Seeing that a quarrel was about to break out, Archmage Antonidas said, "Stop! He turned to Thanred and said, "Prince Thanred, your idea is dangerous—we have tried to close the Dark Gate twice. But eventually it was turned on again. ”
He addressed everyone: "Azeroth and Draenor, the destinies of these two worlds have been connected. Even if we close the portal, it's only temporary. If we do, then we can only pray for the rest of our lives. The Burning Legion won't come up with another way to open it again - and we don't know how long it will be. Maybe it's ten years, maybe it's a month. It could even be that Akmund's army would be able to reactivate it as soon as it cleared the threat from the Outlands. ”
"Today if we give up a strong ally. What are we going to do when the Burning Legion returns? "Antonidas' question is sobering.
The idea of closing the Dark Door is too much to take for granted. This seductive tiyì was eventually put on hold. The meeting returned to the main topic - how to support the Outlands.
――
By the time Grandmother Gaiaan came to the sacred mountain of Voshugu, Muru's treatment of Caure was nearing completion. The old orc shaman saw the most incomprehensible image of her life inside the sacred mountain—the ancestral souls of the orcs were surrounding two glowing strange creatures, looking happy and fanatical.
And some strange visitors came to their sanctuary, a Draenei, and a human and a winged man.
Grandmother Gaiaan almost thought of these outsiders as trespassers, blasphemers, but the situation in front of her had nothing to do with those two words. For many years, the orcs did not come to visit the sacred mountain of Voshugu. The awakening of the ancestral souls was obviously not impressed by the sincerity of the orc shamans, but because of this group of people.
The shamans behind Grandmother Gaia almost immediately rushed in anger when they saw an outsider, but she stopped them.
"Read on." Grandmother Gaia said.
Now that the soft light had reappeared on Choure's body, his body was still light purple. When Jiang Weihan felt that his divine power could no longer be absorbed by the other party, he knew that the healing process had been completed.
"Thank you." Cwure sends out a telepathic message.
But no one else was happy.
Because they could feel that Cauré was not healed. Although the shadow power in his body was suppressed, it did not disappear. He is approaching the end of a bright Naru's life, and almost irreversible changes are taking place in him.
Prophet Velun's tone trembled: "I'm late, Keure...... I ......" he almost choked. In his almost endless life, it is only at this moment that he reveals undisguised vulnerability.
"It's a journey I'm going to take."
"Don't be sad, my friend."
"Thank you."
Muru said, "Let's get out of here, maybe Adar will have a way." ”
"Don't comfort me, Muru."
"I know what's going to happen."
"I'm ready."
Jiang Weihan was also a little sad, this scene was like a parting of life and death. He couldn't help but ask, "Since the end of the life of the light Naru will become the dark Naru - will the end of the life of the dark Naru become the light Naru again?" ”
Muru replied, "No, there is an end to any life. My friend. The universe was born of darkness. When the energy of Dark Naru is depleted, we will return to our roots. Be a part of the cosmic energy. ”
This answer was to be expected. It would be incredible if Naru could constantly switch between light and darkness.
As they spoke, Cwuray was saying goodbye to the ancestral spirits of the orcs. The ship has crashed, and after leaving today, he may never come back here.
The thoughts conveyed by Choure plunged these souls into the grief and fear of being abandoned. For more than twenty years, having lost the warmth of Cwure, they have been living in terror. Once Caure leaves, they will be plunged into darkness forever.
"Stop your actions!" Feeling the soul of the ancestors, Grandmother Gaia'an finally couldn't bear it anymore, and she stepped forward and shouted. He stared at the Prophet Veron and asked, "Draenei, are you disturbing the souls of the Holy Mountain!" ”
At this time, Varok. Sarufar finally arrived here. He saw Grandmother Gaia and the orc shamans opposing the other group, and among them was Jiang Weihan!
"I'm welcoming Naru's return." Prophet Veron looked at the group of shamans with sadness in his tone, "Hundreds of years ago, we draenei descended on Draeno on the ship of this Naru Keurei beside me. It crashed, Cwure was seriously injured, and we escaped from the ship. And built a new home in this strange land. But when I was about to come back to save him, I found that the ship was worshipped by you orcs as a sacred mountain. Because the holy light emitted by Cwulei attracted the souls of some orcs. For hundreds of years, I wanted to explain it clearly, but I didn't expect this opportunity to be today. ”
Grandmother Gaia rebuked, "You're lying! It must have been you who enslaved the spirits of the ancestors with evil spells. Right! ”
The shaman behind her immediately pointed the finger at Jiang Weihan and the others. The words of the Prophet Veron almost subverted their long-standing beliefs, and no orc shaman could accept such slander!
Jiang Weihan said in a loud voice: "Is what Prophet Wei Lun said true, won't it be clear if you communicate with the spirit of the ancestors?" ”
"But how do we know if you've deceived the Ancestral Spirits?" There was obvious distrust in Grandmother Gaia's eyes. She hadn't personally fought the Draenei, though. But the hatred between orcs and draenei is clear. There is now hardly any foundation of trust between the two.
Sarufar couldn't help but whisper: "Grandmother Gaiaan, this is Your Excellency the Head of the Valoran Federation who sent us back. He shouldn't deceive us. ”
"How do you know if he doesn't have ulterior motives!" When it comes to faith. Grandmother Gaiaan became almost unreasonable. For any believer, matters of faith are almost impossible to resolve intellectually. She lifted her staff and struck Sarufar on the head. I want to open him up. Although this orc warrior could dodge, he didn't dare to do so, so he could only carry it hard, and his head was knocked out by Grandmother Gaiaan.
"I can find proof for what I said!" Jiang Weihan said, "Whether you're trying to communicate with the Ancestral Spirits, or you're going to see other Naru ships with your own eyes, this proves that I'm right - you have to admit that orcs don't have the ability to make such a crystal-shaped spaceship, do they?" ”
Grandmother Gaia's intellect told him that the human was right, but she didn't want it to rule over her at all—for believing in such a thing would mean that her faith would be subverted, and that from now on, they would be forever deprived of the guidance of the Ancestral Spirits.
"You can't leave the Holy Mountain!" Grandmother Gaia shouted. The shamans beside her were immediately ready to attack.
At this moment, the spirits that surrounded Cwure suddenly rushed towards the shamans and roared angrily at them. These ancestral spirits were rebuking them, and the shamans once again sensed that the ancestral spirits were moving away from them. Lost and regained, gained and lost, this qiē encountered in a short period of time caused the shamans to fall into a panic.
Even Grandmother Gaia'an was no exception, she stood here, her ears full of accusations from the souls of the ancestors.
She heard her grandfather, the old shaman of the Frostwolf Clan, who had been obsolete for decades, scolding her. and her disappointment with her long-time husband's current behavior. And many more, the souls of those ancestors who have passed away. Many were even names she had only heard in the ears of her ancestors.
Grandmother Gaia is in a panic, will what happened more than twenty years ago happen again? Will they, the shamans, be abandoned by the ancestral spirits again?
Sarufar took the opportunity to come over. Tell Jiang Weihan what happened during this time.
"Most of the Maghan orcs are reluctant to retreat?" When Jiang Weihan heard the news, he could only reply, "Then we can only pray that Akmund will not attack this side." ”
Kyle suddenly said, "There's one of us approaching!" ”
Jiang Weihan also sensed the comer, and he was extremely surprised, it was Marzaha who came!
He knew that the last time Kgomo entered Silvermoon City through the Burning Legion's teleportation array, and according to the information he had sent, several other heroes were still left in the Twisted Void. Now that Marzaha is here, he still appears in the Outlands, but Jiang Weihan feels that this may not be good news.
And when this Void Prophet found him. It also proved his conjecture.
"You mean Kilgardan sent the demons of the Burning Legion to the Void Storm?" Jiang Weihan had even more headaches, just the demons entering the Outlands from Azeroth were enough of a headache, not to mention the demon army that twisted the void?
The shape became more and more severe, and he developed a deep sense of worry, fearing that this time would be the worst situation he would face after crossing over. He saw that the orc shaman was still facing off against them, and that the Maghan orcs that Sarufar had said were still unwilling to retreat, and he suddenly thought of a solution.
"Listen to me!" Jiang Weihan opened his mouth to attract the attention of everyone present, "Grandmother Gaiaan." I think our disagreement right now is that Naru's departure will leave the ancestral souls of the orcs with nowhere to go but to become lonely ghosts. I have a solution to this problem! ”
Grandmother Gaiaan shouted vigilantly, "You don't want us to give up the Ancestral Soul!" If something like this happens, then we will block any of you from attempting to leave the Holy Mountain. Including that glowing thing! ”
Jiang Weihan laughed and said, "To be honest, if we want to leave, you really can't keep it!" ”
He felt that simple words were not convincing enough. So he decided to show the orcs his power - he stopped time and led Kyle, the Prophet Veron, and Naru through the shamans without hindrance.
When the time resumes. Jiang Weihan and the others have retreated outside. Muru and Choure were both by his side, and the Ancestral Spirits were around Naru. Coming.
He was furious when he saw Grandmother Gaia and the other shamans, because the scene before him was beyond their imagination. The shaman just felt that he could do nothing but function his mind. And the group, along with two Naru, walked past them like this.
If Jiang Weihan had done it at this time, this group of shamans would have become corpses on the ground by now.
"See? You can't stop us from leaving. "Jiang Weihan is standing at the entrance of the spaceship, and now the orcs are even inside." I guess you'll be able to listen to me by now, right? ”
"Tell me, what's your mention yì?" Grandmother Gaiaan's words almost popped out between her teeth, and although she was unwilling, there was nothing she could do now.
Jiang Weihan said: "Speaking of which, there is no indissoluble hatred between the Maghan orcs and the draenei - now that the Burning Legion is descending on the Outlands on a large scale, this place will soon become a brutal battlefield. Staying here is almost a dead end. I think that in the current situation, uniting and retreating is the better option. It is immutable that Choulei will definitely return to Naru's ship. If you want to remember your ancestors, you can also follow aboard. In this way, you will have a place to live and you will be able to continue to communicate with the spirits of your ancestors. Best of both worlds! ”
――
After solving the matter of the orcs here, Jiang Weihan saw the ethereal spirit of the Astral Consortium again. One is Orsu, the Ethereal Hunter, and the other is Turumman, the Ethereal Merchant who came with him.
"You're the leader here?" Turuman, a businessman from the Astral Consortium, looked at Jiang Weihan with interest, and after receiving an affirmative answer, he immediately pointed to the Waushugu Holy Mountain, which is the wreckage of the Nalu spaceship, and asked, "Then can you call the shots for this garbage?" We are in the business of recycling garbage and we can pay a reasonable price for these wreckage! ”
"You're here to talk about business?" Jiang Weihan stared at Turuman and asked. He had just heard from Marzaha that the Astral Consortium's Storm Spire base was under attack by the Burning Legion, and he thought they were here to talk about it. But it looks like the interstellar merchant is clearly more interested in the Naru ship than anything else.
"Of course, there are other things I want to talk to you about!" Turuman replied.
"I can indeed call the shots of what you call 'garbage'." Jiang Weihan was about to make an offer almost immediately, and he interrupted: "You don't have to fool me, I know very well what this is - this is the wreckage of Nalu's spaceship after Naru's forced landing, and many of the materials in it are of astonishing value. “
"Trust me, friend, we can afford the Astral Consortium!" Although it was debunked, Turuman was not embarrassed in the slightest. When they landed here a few months ago, they found the wreckage of the Naaru Tech ship. In the Great Universe, Naru's technology is even more advanced than that of the Ethereal Spirit, and they believe that they will be able to analyze some useful technology from the wreckage of this ship. And the materials for the shipwreckage alone are worth a lot of money.
However, the Astral Consortium lacks everything, that is, it is not short of money. Artifacts, gems, materials, they have it all!
"That's good—all I need is one thing—something that can cure Naru, who is transforming into an entropy demon!" Jiang Weihan offered a price for the ship's wreckage. (To be continued......)
