Chapter 013: Rukma's Breath
With Viren's assurance, Durotan and Drektar had no reason to stay, and with Restaran's escort, they left the temple of Carabo as soon as possible.
As for Lanlos, he stood at the gate of the temple and watched the other party leave, without saying a word.
"You don't seem to trust me. Behind him, Viren stepped forward silently.
"Aren't you the same?" muttered Lanros as if talking to himself.
Viren fell silent, obviously not wanting to dwell too much on the topic: "I'm curious about your world, and if you don't mind, I'd love to hear where you came from." ”
"Azeroth?" Lanros tilted his head slightly, staring at Viren with the two beams of purple light on the Guardian Horizon without revealing the slightest emotion, "Don't worry, this name will eventually be ingrained in your soul." ”
The gray and lush brows trembled slightly, and the prophet was about to speak, but was preempted by the other party: "Anyway, although I admire Delaney's creative art, it ......"
Lanloth slowly swept over the sacred land wrapped in crystal in front of him, and his true emotions jumped on his face, but he quickly lowered his head and shook it gently: "I'm sorry, it's not that I don't believe in the abilities of you and your people, I promised Terrey, I can't wait for two months in peace." ”
Facing the other party's hopeful and expectant gaze, Willen paused, and shook his head helplessly: "The sequelae of isolating Kara are beyond your imagination, not only does it greatly reduce my strength, but it also seriously hinders my connection with the Light. ”
Seeing Viren looking up at the black celestial body that seemed to be close at hand, Lanlos seemed to understand something, and then quickly gritted his teeth and continued to ask: "Then what if you use other forces?"
"Cwure?"
"Nope. Looking at the vague jungle area in the west, Lanloth's expression slowly became solemn, "You know the Raven Man. ”
Without speaking, Viren looked at Lanros with a look of surprise.
"Many years ago, when the Draenei and the orcs were not present in this land, three god-like beings appeared in this world. The slightly gritty voice seemed to come from a distant void, and Lanlos put his hands behind his back, and his back suddenly became unfathomable.
"Setai the Wind Serpent, Ansu, the Raven God, and Rukma the Flame Bird. ”
"These powerful beings have come into contact with different mystical powers through their transcendent abilities, among which Rukma possesses the primordial power of light. ”
This connection of energy allows her to summon magical flames that have the power to destroy and nourish life. ”
"Although Rukma has long since fallen, her creation, the Araka Ravens, established a once-powerful imperial civilization, Episis. ”
"In order to restore the splendor of this god, the Anhar sect of Episis, who believe in light and divine magic, has created a weapon with magic and wisdom......"
"Rukma's Breath. Unwilling to remain silent, Viren added softly, "This weapon has only been activated twice, the first time it has torn apart the proto-beast race that has dominated almost the entire Draenor, and the second time because of the civil war between the Anhar cult that believes in Rokma and the Scalax cult that believes in Ansu, the Episis Empire, which was originally enough to conquer the whole world, has completely declined, and the highest mountain in Draenor, the Alanka Pinnacle, has been split into countless shorter peaks, which is now the Alanka Peak Forest south of the Teroka Forest. ”
"This power is both flame and light, and if you can get it, you can easily heal your friend's injuries, and even Kara may be completely purified because of it. But again, Rukma's Breath had been destroyed in that distant war, and that was just a legend. ”
The corners of Lanlos's mouth curled slightly, "Have you ever seen Draenor's second sun?"
The Episis Empire, who created Rukma's Breath, saw the majesty of the gods and was easily subdued by this powerful force, but they were not satisfied with the status quo. At the height of the Episis civilization, the priests of Anhar found Rukma's charred bones on the pinnacles and resurrected the sun goddess using magic.
However, magic is not a panacea, and even the Episis Empire at its peak could not perfectly resurrect a god. The newborn Rukma had inherited only a little of her former powers and wisdom, but the Episis still regarded as a goddess.
The Anhar cult has endowed her with the power of light, and her long lifespan has allowed her to soar through the skies of Aranka for thousands of years.
The rebirth of Rukma brought the Anhar Sect's position in the Episis Empire to its peak for a while, and this also dealt a fatal blow to the Ansu Sect of Scarax, who pursued the Shadow and the Void.
Oppression must lead to resistance, and instead of bringing Episis to glory, the reborn Rukma pushed him to the abyss of destruction.
It's ironic......
"If what you're going to say is what I think, then I'd advise you to give up. Just as Lanlos sneered, Viren grabbed the gray beard on his chest and shook his head silently.
"Although Rukma only has meager abilities in her heyday, the divine power in her body is not much weaker than you now, and this kind of help is obviously more effective than a high-level dark wizard like me, right?"
Facing the other party's slightly self-deprecating expression, Vilen's wrinkled blue face did not appear to fluctuate in the slightest: "Light and shadow coexist, you should understand this truth better than me." ”
Sensing something, Lan Luo quickly reached out and stroked his forehead, and a warm pale golden light was then hidden by his fingers, but the seemingly faint light easily penetrated through his fingers, and it looked very dazzling under the dim sky.
"Ah, you're cunning. ”
"Each other, each other. With a rare smile, Viren then turned and walked towards the Carabo Temple, "The Draenei will not provide any human support for your next move, but even if you are thrown off the Mt. Babel, I will still help the lady named Terret." ”
"Thank you very much. Completely obscuring his face from the hood of his cloak, Lanlos slowly walked away in the opposite direction of Viren.
————————
Under the dim canopy of the stars, in front of a cliff marked by strange runes, simple buildings made of animal skins and plants, which could be called houses, spread out next to the rocks.
In front of the largest of them, two braziers were propped up from the bones of unknown beasts, and the crimson flames continued to jump, reflecting the two sharp-eyed brown orcs in the doorway.
Crash!
As the two orcs quickly crossed their spears to block the entrance to the room behind them, the bones of the fierce beasts they had hunted by their own hands shook violently because of this action, and there was a crisp sound that made the scalp tingle from the collision.
"I have something important to tell the teacher. "The orc who was stopped was much more rickety than the others, and with a hoarse voice like that coming from a grave, if it weren't for the fact that he could barely see his face by the firelight, he would have thought it was some old orc.
Looking at the other party's thin and deformed body, the face of one of the guards showed obvious sarcasm and disgust: "The chief has rested. ”
Rest?
Gul'dan glanced at the light coming from the crack in the curtain, his tired, cloudy eyes flashing with a hair-raising ferocity, but he quickly regained his composure.
Seeing the deformed boy limping away with his cane, the orc guard who stopped him shouted indignantly, "Hmph!
"Say less. Another orc guard had a different opinion on this, "I heard that his clan was wiped out by the ogres, and Naozu also took him in because he was pitiful. ”
"Am I wrong?, after being by Naozu's side for so long, he still hasn't been favored by the elemental spirits, and it's just a burden for such a weak body to participate in the hunt. Now that the materials are so scarce, raising such a waste person is inevitably too 'merciful'......
"Enough!" another orc decisively interrupted his rebellious speech, "even if not for him, we should trust Neozu, who is our chieftain and the shaman whom all orcs reveal." ”
"Huh!" Although they were unwilling, the meaning of shamans to orcs was well known, not to mention that Naozu was completely the most powerful shaman, so the two of them quickly fell silent, and they were very tacitly agreed not to mention the disrespectful speech just now.
In the room behind him, an orc with a face covered in curious white paint was indeed resting, but the rest here was very different from the rest in the eyes of ordinary people. At the edge of his bed, a brazier burned a faint but tenacious flame, a blue flame.
This is because the fuel in the brazier is not wood or carbonstone, but a mixture of unknown herbs and the blood of wild beasts.
With the beating of the blue flames, a fragrance that made people feel quickly and serenely gradually spread, and Naozu, who was lying on the blanket, completely relaxed his body, and soon, an unknown traction seemed to take his body out of this world.
Slowly opening his eyes, the orc knew that he was already asleep, and looked at the translucent ancestral soul in front of him, and his terrifying face like an orangutan with fangs growing in his jaw became more and more relaxed.
"Roulkan, my love. ”
The orc slowly turned to him, smiling slightly, speaking to him for the first time since she exhaled her last breath on this earthly world.
"Naozu, my partner, this is a new beginning. ”
He gasped, and his body began to tremble with excitement. His heart was completely occupied by love for her, filled with joy that shone like the sunrise.
A new beginning, though?
"You have led our people very well. "But now that chaos and destruction are looming over our people, it's time for you to forge a new path, for the benefit of all of us." ”
Something seemed to be bothering Naozu's thoughts.
Rorkan has never been a shaman, let alone a leader, she has always been herself, simple, but perfect herself. For Naozu, that's enough. But it was precisely because of the ordinariness of her life that he wondered what could make her say such things......
The next moment, Nao Zu shook off this thought, and secretly scolded himself for not being pious enough. He's never been a soul, he's just flesh and blood. Although his knowledge of the way of the soul is almost unmatched, he knows that there are more secrets that can only be understood when he truly becomes a member of the soul.
Since Rorkan spoke, it was speaking on behalf of the Ancestral Soul.
"I'm listening. He bowed slightly.
Roulkan chuckled softly, "I knew you would. ”
"Now, the orcs are facing a dark and dangerous time. Once upon a time, we only came together on Koshhag Day, but now, if we want to survive, we have to be one. ”
"The phenomenon of independence must be eliminated. ”
Rorkan looked at the slowly rising sun in the sky, his face clouded, as if he was meditating on something. Naozu wanted to touch her and share her worries as she did when she was alive.
But now, he knew he couldn't touch her, and he couldn't force her to speak. So he could only wait quietly, indulging in her beauty while pricking up his ears to catch her voice.
"In this world, there is a stain. Her voice, creepy, flat, "That's a threat, it must be cleared." ”
"Say, I'll do it. Nao Zu reverently swore an oath, "I will always obey the decision of the ancestral soul." ”
She looked at him, and Naozu suddenly felt the sky brighter.
"When this stain is removed, our people will be able to hold their heads high and stand taller, nothing will be able to threaten our race, and power and glory will be ours!"
"And you, Naozu, will be the leader of all orcs!"
There was a certain tone in her words that made Neozu's heart surge, he had already stood in the ranks of the most powerful people in the world, and he had long been admired and respected. But now, more desires surged up in his heart, and there was a glimmer of ...... Trepidation and fear?
However, he knew that if he wanted to reach the real peak, he had to face these obstacles.
"So, what exactly is this threat?"
Rourkan's smile widened, his thick and sexy lips quivering slightly, and a few familiar and unfamiliar syllables made Neozu's eyes widen instantly.
