Volume VI Ice and Fire 71 The Rise of Twilight
The sight I saw when I got back to the world was spectacular, and to be honest, I really saw the earth being torn apart as it was, and when I was in Stormwind, I just heard what had happened somewhere, and the people who survived depicted it vividly. It wasn't until I saw those sights in the Wild West that I realized that what people said was not even a tenth of what they actually did.
Thankfully, most of the Wild West is wasteland, where the earth is badly deformed, and there are countless elemental creatures in the cracks underground. For the first time, I saw what the wind element looked like! What do you mean by that...... It's the most terrifying elemental creature I've ever seen. It was a whirlwind, and that whirlwind wasn't going away, and it was filled with dust, smoke, and even lightning. They can be big or small, and all I can think of when that creature is coming at me is to run away.
If it's an entity like stone I can do it, at least I can think of something to fight back, but this creature ...... You can split air with your sword, but that's stupid.
Living conditions in the west have become more difficult, many farms have been abandoned and people have been relocated. But the interesting thing is that I met my old people there. The Brotherhood of Defia was reborn.
It doesn't matter to you, but it means a lot to me.
You don't have to remember this, it's not a secret.
The Brotherhood of Defia was exterminated many years ago, and I watched as the organization collapsed and its leaders were killed. But when I suddenly found out that someone was wearing a Brotherhood of Masons ring, I thought I was mistaken, but then I realized that they weren't really looking cool or collecting antiques, but actually members of the Brotherhood.
How many years have passed since the fall, two generations! The incident has been almost forgotten, and with the turmoil of the times, no one will know the ring.
Hmph, I thought it was a young man doing it for the sake of being handsome, but when I knew that the Brotherhood of Defia had been reborn after many years, I was still very happy in my heart! Really happy. Because the head of the Defia Brotherhood was a woman.
Although they didn't know what their leader's name was, I could guess that it was her, because there were many legends about her, especially that the bodyguard next to her turned out to be a wolf, a werewolf!
This news made me feel very comforted, at least they didn't die!
It wasn't difficult to find them, as I thought. At the site of the Brotherhood of Defia, the organization came back to life in the ruins like new grass growing out of a fire-burned field.
She asked me to stay and help her, and I was willing to, but I had more important things to do.
At the time, I thought about getting them to join the tribe, but then I dismissed the idea, they could be bad guys, but I felt that these people were choking on me for them to betray the humans and join the orcs. And their leader did not approve of my idea, so I had to give up. But I told them that if they were persecuted by Stormwind and needed my help or wanted some protection, the tribe could lend a helping hand and approach from Camp Grom High in Thorn Dale to their hiding place, either by air or sea.
But now they are just resurrecting the organization and making a small fuss, as long as they don't want to die in Stormwind, they won't be embarrassed by it, after all, Stormwind is already busy with kicks in the back of the head.
It's the only thing I've been happy about since I came back from the North Pole.
I then went to Red Ridge Mountain, then through Blackstone Mountain to Scorching Canyon and finally to Danmorrow. It's amazing that this place hasn't undergone the same terrible changes as other places, and nothing has happened here.
Belch...... This is about the earth cracking, magma coming out of the ground, and various elemental creatures appearing. There was no such thing here, except that to the east of Dan Morro, on the north side of the Roquemordan on the north side of the junction with the wetlands, the most famous structure, the megalithic dam, one of the wonders of the dwarves, had collapsed. A large area of land on the north side of the dam became a vast ocean.
The terrain here has changed a lot, the mountains on the east side and northeast side of Lockmodan have also undergone rare changes, and the dwarves say that since the earthquake, the sky in that area has darkened, as if it was shrouded in something, and the new king has sent people to investigate several times, but all of them have failed, that is, none of the people in the past have come back alive!
Even if they set out very carefully, they would be lost as soon as they walked into the mountains.
Later, the dwarves sent griffin knights, planes, etc. to investigate, but there was still no conclusion, and the more the story spread, the more magical and terrifying, so that later the Three Hammer Council sent a large number of troops, led by the Brute Hammer Dwarves into that area. Thanks to the large number of people, they realized that it was none other than the Twilight Sect who thought they had been completely annihilated.
I didn't expect the Twilight cult to still exist, actually...... It's also just because I forgot that the leader of the Twilight Cult, the ogre Gugar, is not dead, he disappeared for a long time.
However, after getting the information, the Three Hammers Council meant that they didn't want to deal with these guys for the time being, but after this matter was known to Varian, Varian insisted on eradicating these people, and everyone was against it, including many nobles in Stormwind who were resistant to this war.
In fact, it is understandable, after all, the disaster has not been eliminated, there are still many victims, Stormwind City is almost destroyed, and war is started at this time? I'm afraid it's not Varian's brain.
But the king thinks differently than his courtiers. Hehe, your king has the same characteristic as many tough kings, that is, as long as he sees things in his right, no one can change them! The courtiers only have the right to obey, to execute, and to execute well, and not to object and question.
He's actually a bit of a dictatorship as he gets older, a bit like his grandfather. His grandfather wasn't a good guy. Say what...... The child's personality is passed down from generation to generation, and I think it is quite obvious in him.
At that time, Archbishop Benedictas strongly opposed, this is the patriarch of the three dynasties, since his grandfather's generation, he has been the bishop of Stormwind, and has experienced his father's dynasty, from the fall to the recovery, from the bishop to the archbishop to the largest patriarch of the human world, Alonsos. The Archbishop of Stormwind City appointed by Fao and adopted as a student. Although there are all kinds of nobles, all kinds of forces, and all kinds of magicians in Stormwind City, it is still this person who is really one person below ten thousand people, and because after the complete destruction of Lordaeron, the Northern Holy Light Sect was divided and integrated, so only Benedictas remained in its original state.
Their status has reached a very high level, and all the Cultists of the Light now make a pilgrimage to meet him, and he is also known as Alonsos. Fao's personal student, hand-picked the title of archbishop, made his position unshakable, and even King Varian had to give him enough face.
Benedictas is against Varian's actions, but how can Varian listen, especially since the dwarf's affairs made him very angry some time ago, and he will not let people interfere with his thoughts in this matter.
Benedictas the man...... I've known him for many years, when the orcs first invaded. This guy has two faces, one face is for the world to see, great and glorious justice. The other face I feel I've seen is that there is a dark corner in this person's heart. Some of his ideas are actually inconsistent with the teachings of the Holy Light Sect.
However, this man is very good at hiding, and he is in a high position, and there is almost no one who can question him.
There was actually a big reason for his interference in this matter, and that was that when Deathwing descended on Stormwind, it brought not only destruction, but also some dark things.
Deathwing is the way it is because his heart has been enveloped in darkness from your mouths. No matter what he had done before, he was now completely reduced to a puppet of the Elder Gods.
That's right, the Elder Gods took control of him, corrupting his soul and invading his heart, in your words. He has lost his original mind and is wholeheartedly in the service of the ancient gods. Did I mention this ancient god to you?
I'm still not sure where it is, but I'm sure I've seen it, and I've had a long relationship with him. It found me shortly after I woke up, and I heard it, and Benedictas heard the voice of the Elder God probably when Deathwing descended on Stormwind.
Deathwing spreads terror everywhere, bringing the voice of the Elder God to every place he goes.
The voice of the Elder God is penetrating, and his chatter will make you doubt life. Of course, it doesn't drive you crazy, but it shakes your heart, makes your will crack and crumble, makes you doubt your past and finally denies it, and then throws yourself into the arms of the Elder Gods.
And as a reward, the Elder Gods will bestow amazing power on those who worship it and serve it at the right time.
There are dark places in everyone's heart, and there are very few people who are truly pure and immaculate, you don't see some monks shaking their heads every day to read the scriptures, worship, and pray, but under that human skin and clothes hide their impure souls and filthy bodies. Some monks treat children and female believers in a way that is completely contrary to the original meaning of the Light, and their carnal desires surpass those of ordinary people.
Such people existed, and of course, they were the first to respond to the Elder Gods.
Yes, it caused a lot of sensation, but very few people know the story behind it, and that's what I'm talking about.
There were many people in the church who opposed Varian, led by Benedictas.
Because the place where Varian is going to send troops is where the Twilight Cult lurks, and Deathwing only lets it leak out, and all those who believe in worshipping the Elder Gods are Twilight Cults. Benedictas knew about it, of course, and he had become very obedient since he had taken refuge in the arms of the Elder Gods.
It is his duty and duty to protect his fellow humans.
