Chapter 268: The Origin of Werewolves
With Harveys gone, the Elder God Enzos's plan to pollute the world by merging dreams and reality has failed. His mad minions, the Faceless, the Naga, and the Fishmen, all retreated into the depths.
The nightmare crisis that has affected all living beings in the world has passed, but there is no true peace in Azeroth.
As the most powerful and cunning of the Elder Gods, Enzos had already had a complete plan for the next step, and beyond, that would eventually allow him to break the seal and rule Azeroth again!
The key to the next plan is the Blue Dragon Army. Malygos is bewitched by Enzos and is waging an arcane nuclear war to purge the world's spellcasters.
This is not just a disaster for the mages of Dalaran, the unlimited extraction of the magic net energy by the Turbulent Needle will sooner or later lead to the shattering of the entire world - after the bombardment of the Rainbow of Focus, Azeroth will most likely become what it was in the Outlands before, or even worse.
It is urgent to put an end to Malygos' madness.
However, the creatures of Azeroth have just been ravaged by the Scourge, the Burning Legion, and the Nightmare Legion, and are in desperate need of time to recuperate.
As the Nightmare Crisis is resolved, the coalition forces gathered in Azhara prepare to go back and rebuild their homes. Now they are holding their last parting meeting in the camp.
Ysera, Queen of the Green Dragons, said, "Thank you so much for your contributions and sacrifices during this Nightmare Crisis, and the Green Dragon Legion will always remember it. ”
Jiang Weihan said: "This is a common crisis in the whole world, no one can stay out of it, it is not just the responsibility of the Green Dragon Legion, we just did what we should do." ”
Everyone nodded in agreement. The Nightmare King is more powerful than you can imagine. If it weren't for Jiang Weihan gathering the will of the whole world in the end, I'm afraid that no one and no legion would have been able to defeat him. Naturally, it was impossible for the Green Dragon Legion to resist alone.
"This war will be the most memorable of my life, and I will always remember it!" ”
"So what are you going to do after that?"
The experience of fighting side by side has made the various races extremely harmonious, and everyone has begun to talk about their plans for the future.
Malfurion said, "It will take time for the wounds of the earth to heal, and it will be a long time to come. We druids are committed to this. The World Tree has also withered in this crisis, and we will try to heal Nordasir and bring it back to life. ”
At this time Garrod. "May I ask Queen Ysera, if we heal Nordasil, what will be its power-"
He asked because of what happened to his wife, Charahir. If it weren't for the fact that he had met Cenarius and Malfurion. I'm afraid something really will happen to Charahir. Immortality and health disappeared so suddenly that many Night Elves were unprepared.
All the Night Elves present looked at the Green Dragon Queen with anticipation in their eyes.
Ysera knew what they were expecting, and she shook her head, "Our blessed power has faded, and the Night Elves' lost immortality and health will not return—let alone Nozdom—" she mentioned the name. Her expression became worried, but she quickly stopped talking and said, "But you can still visit my dreams, no matter what happens to Nodashir. ”
The hope in the eyes of many Night Elves has turned into disappointment, and for 10,000 years, they have not grown old, are immune to disease, and have been protected by so many immortals, guardians, and gods that they have become arrogant and arrogant. Treat all races other than them as mundane.
Now that they have lost this power, they have become part of the mundane.
Cenarius said at this time: "I heard that Remulos was attacked by Manolos the 'Destroyer' in the Feywood Forest, and this demon also gathered a large number of demons and satyrs there. I am prepared to investigate the matter thoroughly. ”
The father was very sad about the death of Remlos, and in just a few months, he had lost a daughter and a son, not to mention that Remlos was still the best of his sons, the most like him. Fortunately, the souls of Remulos and Avrilla are still in their dreams, and Cenarius believes that he will be able to resurrect them one day.
But before that, he had to take revenge on Manolos! If it weren't for Manolos who had hit Remlos hard. He wouldn't be unconscious, and if he wasn't unconscious, he wouldn't be haunted by nightmares. Nor will he be controlled by nightmares to go crazy and kill his sister. Apparently Manolos is the source of evil!
What's more, Cenarius couldn't tolerate any demons in his eyes!
Jiang Weihan remembered something and said to Malfurion: "Your Excellency." A *master named Arugao* summoned the sleeping werewolves in his dreams - as far as I know, these werewolves have some connection with you, can you send some people to help us solve the werewolf problem? ”
"Werewolves?" Malfurion listened to Jiang Weihan tell him the information he had gotten. As he narrates, Prince Arthas's face becomes a little embarrassed and cramped, after all, he has a certain responsibility in this matter.
"I'm sorry for the huge loss caused to your fighters. This is our negligence. Malfurion bowed and apologized.
The leaders of several human nations plagued by the curse of werewolves have cast inquiring glances at Malfurion—how did werewolves come into contact with the mysterious Night Elves?
Malfurion slowly reveals a history that has been sealed for thousands of years: the druids learned the art of transforming into beasts from the wild immortals: the bear-like demigods Ursol and Ursok taught the druids to transform into giant bears; They also learned the cheetah form from the Cheetah Immortals, as well as other bird of prey forms, flying forms, and so on.
The wolf is a very powerful beast, especially the wolf demigod Godlin is a strong immortal, and legend has it that even the moon god Elune could not tame his wildness. Naturally, there were druids who wanted to learn the wolf form, and as a result, a group of "wolf pack druids" was born. However, Malfurion later discovered that the wolf druids could not control the wild and wolf nature of this form, and that when they transformed, they would lose their rationality, become extremely bloodthirsty, and distinguish between friend and foe.
After discovering this drawback. Malfurion forbade the druids to learn and experiment with the wolf form. But there are still people secretly studying this power, one named Belissa. Starwind's priestess and her friends were ready to find a way to deal with the wolf's druid's madness, and she combined Elune's essence with Godling's teeth to create an artifact that controlled the wolf druids, the Luna Scythe.
But she didn't succeed, and the artifact turned the wolf druids into half-human, half-wolf creatures - today's werewolves. These mutated werewolves have the ability to spread the curse of werewolves - and those bitten by them will quickly become like them.
In the end, Malfurion had to unite with the druids to deal with the werewolves. They were eventually banished to the roots of the Garnier tree on a certain level of the Emerald Dreamland, hoping that the Mother Tree would soothe the wildness in the werewolves' hearts.
Malfurion never expected that after thousands of years, *Shi Arugao got the way to summon werewolves from the notes of his predecessors, and took advantage of the opportunity to merge dreams with reality to summon werewolves to the real world!
"It's our responsibility. The Council of Cenarion will do everything in their power to help you solve this werewolf crisis! Malfurion said in a deep voice. He turned to his disciple Broll. Bearskin said to him, "Broll, can you take on this task?" ”
"It's incumbent!" Brower puffed out his chest in reassurance.
Seeing that the Night Elves took the initiative to shoulder the responsibility, the embarrassment in Arthas's heart suddenly decreased a lot. It was then that he felt that he could raise his head before the Valoran Federation, which had been attacked by werewolves in support of the army led by Galen, Darius, and Marrad. Coupled with the betrayal of the * division Arugao, this made Arthas, who had previously advocated the use of werewolf power, extremely embarrassed. While self-reflecting, he also had to admit his dereliction of duty and rashness.
The leaders of the major powers are talking about their plans for the future. With the disappearance of the sea monsters, it no longer becomes dangerous to cross the Endless Sea. The tragedy of Proudmore will not be repeated.
Admiral Dalin prepares to organize another fleet to return home and try to find out the whereabouts of Thanreid—and although no one expects anything from his life, the old king always has a bit of an obsession with seeing people alive and corpses in death. Only by truly confirming the results of Tamred can he make the most suitable choice for Kul Tiras's future.
Several other countries of the Eastern Kingdom are also preparing to go back. However, after the destruction of the Burning Legion, I am afraid that for a long time, humanity will spend a huge amount of energy to rebuild their homes and resume production.
Just as everyone is looking forward to the future. The Red Dragon Queen Alexstasa poured cold water on everyone: "I'm afraid we won't be able to enjoy peace so soon. ”
Everyone looked at her. She explained, "I'm sure everyone has noticed that there are more blue dragons in the sky lately, but instead of participating in the war against the Nightmare King, they are planning another disaster. ”
Alexstrasa explained what Malygos and the Blue Dragons were doing right now.
The leaders who had just enjoyed a few hours of peace did not expect that another dragon king was now waging another war with a wide range of implications.
Malygos sought to cleanse all casters, even those with casting talents, which meant that the vast majority of sapient races were among them.
Humans and the High Elves naturally do not need to be said, especially the High Elves, whose lives have been combined with magic. It's hard to even survive without magic; Humans are currently the largest group of spellcasters in the world.
Even the Night Elves, who are almost forbidden to use magic, have a strong talent for spell-casting, according to Malygos's theory. They will also be within the scope of the "Great Purge".
"Malygos's behavior is worrying, and the rest can be left alone for the time being. Now we must put an end to his madness. ”
The words of the Red Dragon Queen Alexstasa were loud and unvetoable.
She would never forget that Malygos had led the Blue Dragon Legion to besiege her indiscriminately in the skies above the Nexus. Persuasion had failed, and she knew that coercion was necessary to stop the dangerous actions that the Blue Dragon Legion was doing.
"You're right, Queen Alexstasa - what should we do? Destroy Malygos? ”
"If necessary." Alexstasa lowered his eyes, his eyes gloomy.
This was something she desperately did not want to see, as Malygos was the elder brother of all the guardian dragons, who had fought side by side for tens of thousands of years, and who had protected her and the other siblings on many occasions. Alexstrasza almost consumed all his courage when he said this.
Ysera looked at her sister. At this moment, she also feels the same way.
It's a difficult choice.
Alexstasa said: "I will rush back to Northrend, I need a few mages to go to the Temple of Dragon's Sleep with the Red Dragon Legion, and open the teleportation array there, so that the army that is crusading against Malygos can directly reach Northrend." ”
"No problem. We will fully support this operation! * Teacher Antonidas was the first to take a stand.
The mages bear the brunt of the "Arcanic Nuclear War", and Dalaran will never allow Malygos to carry out such madness.
At this moment, there was a commotion outside, and a guard came in and said to Jiang Weihan: "Your Excellency, there is a person who calls himself Kalei who said that there is something important to come in. ”
"Carré?" Jiang Weihan looked at Anna. Anna looked at it as well. Apparently they all have the same guess.
"Yes, Führer."
"Let him in."
Inside is a handsome blue-haired young man, none other than Karegoth, who had intercepted Anna in Azhara to capture the Rainbow of Focus.
He bowed and apologized to everyone as soon as he entered, his gaze swept over those around him, and he spoke, "Queen Alexstasa, Queen Ysera, and the leaders. My true identity is Karegos of the Blue Dragons - please don't get excited. Hear me out - I know that what the Blue Dragon Legion is doing is causing you a great deal of trouble, and I know that it is imperative to stop the Dragon King, Malygos. ”
When he had just revealed his identity, the people who had just heard about the Blue Dragon Legion's crazy behavior immediately frowned, and some even couldn't help but want to do it. Fortunately, however, he was quick to turn around, and immediately put his identity on the side of opposition to Malygos and sympathy and approval of human action.
In fact, this is also a last resort.
Previously, Karegos secretly invited two of his friends, Teregossa and Matigosa, to investigate the cause of the dragonlord Malygos's madness.
Heaven seemed to be helping them, and soon all three of them made gratifying progress in their investigations: Terégosa Thorn guò and careful investigation deduced that the cause of the incident seemed to be related to the bronze dragon king Nozdom; And when Matigossa was looking for the key man Athoregus. It was also accidentally tracked down that the last place where the blue dragon disappeared was near the cave of the blue dragon prince Aregoth.
This qiē news is intertwined with a terrible fact: there must be a terrible conspiracy behind Malygos's initiation of the Austrian nuclear war!
Anna was the first to ask, "You mean, my Rainbow of Focus may have been given to Aregoth by Athoregoth?" ”
She emphasized her ownership of the Rainbow of Focus—apparently still haunted by the Blue Dragon's sneak attack.
"According to Matigosa's observations," said Karegos. Aethoregus is supposed to have been sheltered by Argos. Your guess is quite likely. ”
He was embarrassed and sorry for Anna - after all, he had an inescapable responsibility for it. If he hadn't finally thrown the Rainbow of Focus at Athoregus and brought it back, or if he hadn't launched a sneak attack on Anna at all, maybe things would have been different.
Unbeknownst to Karegoth, the visits of him, Athoregoth, Aregos, the entire Blue Dragons, and even Nozdom were the work of the ancient god Enzos, who had been orchestrating this long and elaborate conspiracy. It's interlocking. Without the slightest mistake or omission, it has been moving towards the ending set by Enzos.
Anna was expressionless. She looked at Jiang Weihan and conveyed her thoughts: "Then could this matter also be related to Deathwing?" ”
She was talking about what was happening on her timeline.
Travel in front of this timeline. Anna has also experienced the Austrian nuclear war, and is more aware of the various causes and processes. Aregoth, the prince of the blue dragon, has quietly fallen and secretly colluded with Deathwing, preparing to help Deathwing complete his plan to destroy the world. Because he was also corrupted by the Elder Gods, he became the same side as Deathwing.
In this case, it is highly likely that Aregos in this timeline has also fallen - perhaps Malygos's Arcane has something to do with Deathwing?
"Aregos," Jiang Weihan said. He always felt that something seemed wrong—he remembered the information about the Blue Dragon Prince, and the first time he heard the name was in ......
Battle of Quicksand!
Originally, in the battle of quicksand more than a thousand years ago, Aregos and two other dragons, the green dragon Merinthera and the red dragon Kerestraz, chose to sacrifice themselves at the last moment and created the zào out of the wall of beetles to seal the Qila worms. However, in the end, he did not die, and later in the second Battle of Quicksand, this was the return of the Blue Dragon Prince as a hero.
Then the question arises - now that the Second Battle of the Quicksand has not yet taken place, where did Aregos come from?
Jiang Weihan suddenly realized that things had become complicated. He quietly passed the news to Anna, who immediately understood.
Obviously, the history of this world is not the same as the history on the past timeline as they know it!
Jiang Weihan immediately turned to Karegos, "For this Blue Dragon Prince, what is his origin?" ”
Cargos was unaware of the exchange of ideas between the two, thinking that they were simply trying to understand the Blue Dragon Prince's past. Then he spoke, "Prince Aregos is one of the dragon eggs that survived the blows of Deathwing during the War of the Ancients. Hatched shortly after the end of the War of the Ancients, he has kept a very low profile, much less than his heroic sister Klì Gosa, who is the princess of our Blue Dragon Clan. However, she had died in the Battle of the Quicksands a thousand years ago in order to seal the Worms. (To be continued)
