Chapter 645: The Land of Desecration
The green dragon and Haka have an early and deep grudge.
During the Battle of the Well of Eternity, the two sides had already fought fiercely, and the green dragon was the main force in the battle where Haka's body was destroyed and rolled back into the twisted void.
The other time was more than 1,000 years ago.
As Kane said when he commented on the trolls: he wants to rise again and regain his strength, but he is unwilling to take it step by step and make some plans to go off the rails.
The Labash Trolls were once one of the most powerful tribes in the Troll Empire, but in modern times, even in a remote place like the Valley of Thorns, there is no unified panorama, and only a large arena is left to survive the prosperity of the past.
The Rabash trolls wanted to rise, and as a result, someone turned the haka out based on family knowledge. In this process, an Atalai troll named Jindu plays a very important role.
In the original historical line, Haka's third activity has a lot to do with this gold. It's the kind of big yin who sits firmly behind the scenes, tries to be a fisherman, and almost succeeds.
Jindu's real purpose was to rob Hakka of his power, and he was more or less aware of the limitations of the gods who came into the world in this main material plane of Azeroth. And with it as the core, a series of plans were formulated, intending to dig a pit for Haka to jump.
But Haka is also an old man, and not only has it failed before, but even Sargeras has been planted, and it is impossible to learn any lessons.
So this time it did not come in a hurry, but used small favors to cheat big profits.
This kind of ploy, which is modern in the origin world, and is only the third or fourth city, is a group of people who like to get cheap and cheap, mainly the elderly, has been very successful in Labash. The Rabash trolls mostly thought Haka was good and were willing to give them their blood so that they could gain power.
As everyone knows, this kind of development and down-line bondage makes each troll become an indirect slave of Haka in order to gain more power, providing it with power and becoming its eyes and ears.
In the end, it failed, mainly because of Haka's greed, which wanted more and repeatedly deducted the part of the power that it gave to the trolls.
As a result, Labash's expansion did not go well, and the aggressive mode did not bring enough resources, and the expansion war became unsustainable, and a large number of ordinary trolls felt miserable about their lives, and soon after, a civil war broke out.
This time, at the same critical moment, the Green Dragons entered the arena and assisted the Hakka faction in defeating the Atalai, who had dominated power at the time, and some of them fled into the swamp of sorrow when they saw that the momentum was not right.
So if you talk about the earliest aborigines (intelligent race) of the Swamp of Sorrows, it should be the Atalai trolls.
At that time, the Cursed Lands had not yet been formed (to the west of the Cursed Lands was the Valley of Thorns), and it was one with the current Swamp of Sorrows, second only to the barren lands of Kalimdor.
It is undoubtedly very difficult to chase down small groups of trolls in such a large Zeguo rainforest.
But the green dragons, in line with the principle of eliminating evil, still entered this area first.
Here, history begins to fork.
In the original historical line, it is clear from this past record that Ysera was aware of the pursuit, and even that she was the mastermind.
Then, after several years of pursuit, the Atalai were worn out and almost wiped out, and finally gathered the last of their strength and fought a decisive battle with the green dragons.
The battle naturally ended in the defeat of Atalai, but the Green Dragons also paid a high price. In addition, due to the special nature of the haka, the temple still has a certain amount of evil power, thus sheltering the remnants of the atalai.
Considering that Hakka could not be completely killed and that it was not worth storming his last stronghold, Ysera let his first lover Illanicus and some of the green dragons supervise the place to prevent adventurers and the like from bringing Haka's seed of faith back to the world.
And the O world that Kane came into contact with, the civil war in Rabashi a thousand years ago, the victory of the Hakka faction was more complete, and the Attalai people were uprooted.
However, the Hakka faction also showed their cruel face, and they brutally killed the Attalai with capital punishment, which the green dragons were not used to, and the two sides parted ways, so they did not pursue the history of the Attalai into the swamp of sorrow.
One of the four green dragons, Illanicus, is the missing of the Enigma, whose last appearance was the entrance to the Emerald Dream in the Dawn Forest.
The Forest of Dawn is now in the middle of the Twilight Forest region and is one of the main entrances and exits to the real world of Emerald Dreams.
Before the human Storm Kingdom took root and settled in the Elwyn Forest, the current Red Ridge Mountain, the Burning Plains, the Scorching Canyon, and the Barren Land were all forests with lush trees, not much worse than the Ash Valley, plus the Swamp of Sorrow, the Valley of Thorns, and the Twilight Forest, it can be said that the southern part of the entire Eastern Continent, except for the westernmost coastal Western Wilderness, which has the characteristics of the Scottish Highlands of the origin world, the other areas are a huge primeval forest, a wild land.
Such a place is a paradise for flora and fauna, and home to druids.
The Dawn Forest was set up to dominate this primeval forest area.
As a result, Illanicus and a group of green dragons went out on errands and never returned.
Kane had also asked Illanicus what they were going to do.
It's a pity that he doesn't have a good channel of information among the dragons, and he has figured it out so far.
He estimates that it is not a major event, otherwise it will inevitably be widely known, because major events are never isolated, but are extremely implicated, with reasons and follow-ups.
Truth be told, Kane wasn't sure if the temple of Atahaca still had the same amount of depraved green dragons and remains as it had in the original history.
After all, this is a temple, and it is shrouded in a powerful spiritual force field, and even the shadows can't go deeper, but the bones of the dragon are still found, so Kane guesses that some terrifying things still happened here.
This time, I brought the dragons here, mainly to let them feel the malice of other creatures in this world towards them.
In today's world, in the eyes of many creatures, dragons are no longer the high-minded and formidable group they used to be, and although there are not many people who dare to fight dragons, they are by no means unique.
The group descended a long staircase down a rectangular hall, and Kane knew it was the 'Hall of Masks' when he looked at the layout and furnishings.
The more distinctive feature here is the wall pillars on both sides, which can be called the 'Boots of the Mask', which resembles a boot, and then on top of the front of the boot, stands the troll's head mask.
In reality, these masked boots are coffins that stand upright.
As we all know, the coffin and the coffin are two different things, the coffin that holds the corpse is the coffin, and the coffin is the coffin. In other words, inside this boot-like coffin, there is also a delicate coffin used to hold mummies.
Moreover, if you look closely at the skull mask-like sculpture shape, you will find that each one is different, and if you can restore and compare, you can also find that its restored appearance is exactly the appearance of the mummy in the coffin before his death.
To have such treatment, and to visit the coffin in a standing way, is naturally not an ordinary role.
In fact, most of the people here have the meaning of fighting for so-and-so at any time. It is the special shell of the war spirits, which can be understood as the mortal mecha of those warriors who Valhalla is always ready to fight for Odin.
In addition, this coffin itself is also part of the ritual magic.
Like this Mask Hall, in the center, along the hall, there is a large longitudinal slot, reminiscent of the kind of tunnel used for car maintenance, of course, much wider, but the form is like that.
And in this groove, if you count at random, you can count at least six adult dragons' sternums, that is, the part with rib bones, although incomplete, but the general form is still there.
Seeing this, all the dragons were not calm.
The dragon's corpse was in a trough-like ditch, and anyone could tell it was a sacrifice. But to the dragons, it's a heinous blasphemy.
In other words, it's like putting the remains of a human being on a red table in a large kitchen, how does it feel for a human to see this?
What's more, the number of dragons is much smaller than that of humans, and even all the five-colored adult dragons are like people who have lived together in a town for decades, even if they don't speak, they are absolutely familiar.
In this case, it is natural to find that the cutting board is placed on the cutting board of people who can be seen on and off the road in the past, and even simply greet them.
Ysera could even tell who it was by the bones, and she read several names in a row, gritting her teeth the more she read them.
Alexstrasza was also angry, apparently because the scene here brought back bad memories for her.
She pointed to the depths ahead and said, "I feel a filthy and eerie power coming from there. ”
Ysera roared, "Whoever it is, will pay for their crimes." ”
Before Kane expressed his opinion, he first waved his strong wand and cast a group magic, and the holy light scattered, and the dragons suddenly felt that their tense nerves had been relaxed to a considerable extent, and their anger had calmed down a lot.
"There's not just a filthy and eerie power there, there's a subtle, orderly magic, a trap that the enemy would probably want to see a reckless intruder, or at least alert them, and we're not going to let them do it, right?"
This is actually to say: be angry, but don't make mistakes, show some professionalism.
Ysera took a few deep breaths to calm down and let the body sort through while she and Alexstasa came forward to observe.
Sure enough, as Kane said, the passage was indeed conspicuous, but the richly styled door frame was obviously strange.
The two of them studied carefully and found that it was a very ancient troll symbol text, and they couldn't successfully decipher it. Of course, violent destruction can be done, but then it loses the original intention of not startling the snake.
At this time, Kane beckoned to the two of them: "Here, I believe that there is a very important secret hidden behind this magic, but before we go there, let us know more information." ”
Only then did Ysera realize that Kane was there, and opened a secret door that looked like an ordinary wall. This moment gave her the feeling that Kane seemed to be the chief designer of this temple, and he was very familiar with the deconstruction of this period. Otherwise, how could we find such a secret passage when both ordinary and transcendent detection methods have failed?
Kane seemed to see Ysera's confusion, and explained: "You must know that this crown of colored feathers I am wearing is actually the crown of all souls, not only the souls of believers here, but also the remnants of many intelligent beings who have been tortured and persecuted to death. ”
