Chapter 518: Ancestral Sea Turtle
Salaan once heard the barrage mention the Ancestral Turtle, a humanoid intelligent race, who are said to be followers of the Tortox Loatoga, who are naturally peace-loving and like to gather knowledge.
Although these large sea turtles in front of us are similar in name to Archaeopteryx, their origins are completely different.
Archaeopteryx are descendants of Toga, and most of them inhabit the Zandala Islands, where they can be spotted occasionally in Kul Tiras.
Ancestral turtles, on the other hand, are the descendants of Tortola, the turtle demigod, and are more closely related to the Druids from a point of view of origin.
Tortora is one of the demigods who inhabit the sacred mountain of Hyjal and was one of only three surviving demigods who assisted the defenders of Azeroth in the bitter battle of the Ancients.
Tortoll, the turtle demigod, is not very aggressive, but its defense is superior to that of Azeroth.
It was thanks to his strong defenses that Tortora barely survived the battle of the Ancients that led to the fall of a large number of demigods.
Even so, Tortora and Godling, who survived, suffered heavy losses in the War of the Ancients, and fell into a long slumber after the war, and still have not been able to wake up.
There is only one demigod of the wilderness who can still dance alive - Cenarius, the demigod of the forest who was saved by his father Malorn.
The descendants of Tortola's family can be roughly divided into two main factions.
One is the tortoise that lives in Hyjal with Torola, and the other is the progenitor turtle that has been left behind in Pandaria.
According to Kamiko, before the collapse of the earth, there was no such thing as turtles in Tortola, because all the turtle tribes lived in the interior of ancient Kalimdor.
After Pandaria split from the continent, the Tortola family, who were unfortunately trapped in the mist, had to adapt to life by the sea, and after years of evolution, gradually became the current Ancestor Turtle.
Most of the demigods will fall into confusion after leaving their parents, and the most typical negative example is the self-depraved boar people.
However, this is not absolute, and there are positive examples of self-improvement such as bear monsters.
Archaeopteryx is somewhere in between, not completely degraded like the Boar People, but they also failed to continue to grow their pack like the Ursa Monsters.
Sarean can understand that Pandaria's special circumstances limit their ambitions.
No matter how much you expand, you can't leave this mist-shrouded continent.
The resources that can be used by the ancestral turtles along the coast of Pandaria are limited after all, and they are naturally peace-loving, and they don't want to compete for territory with other races, so they simply lie down like this.
The legend of Shinko is the most noteworthy story of the Ancestral Sea Turtle Clan.
When Salian took out the back shell of Kamikoko, even the most stable patriarch Ji looked a little excited, not to mention the other young progenitor turtles.
After the excitement, it is necessary to return to reality.
Ji took a deep breath and solemnly looked at Sarren, who was holding the back shell of Kamikoko.
"Mr. Sarjan, you have been approved by our ancestor God Mako, It stands to reason that we should trust the judgment of our ancestor and help you unconditionally, but ...... It's not easy for my people to survive in Pandaria. ”
Sarian nodded understandingly: "I understand, I won't let you pay for nothing, this is not in line with my life creed." ”
As his experience grew, he became more and more aware of the principle of equivalent exchange.
This is not only the essence of alchemy, but also the way of life that can be applied to people.
A relationship that blindly demands the contribution of others will not last long after all.
Favors can be used for a while, but they can never let the other party pay for free for a long time, and the exchange of interests is the basis for maintaining the relationship.
"Mr. Ji, have you ancestor turtles considered returning to Tortora?"
Ji Na's somewhat godless eyes suddenly widened, and the other large sea turtles who were listening made a commotion.
"Quiet!"
Under the greeting of the patriarch Ji, the commotion was quickly quelled.
The turtles looked at Salaen's eyes with anticipation, eager to hear what he had to say.
"Whew~"
Ji took a deep breath before exhaling a long breath.
"Think, why don't you want to? I dreamed of it. ”
Elder Ji Cang's face showed a humanized bitter expression: "Since leaving the protection of our lord Tortora, the life of the Ancestor Turtle has been very difficult. ”
"As you can see, our people do not like to fight with others."
"Whether it's the Moorgu or the Panda people, as their population grows, they will gradually expand to the beaches we depend on for their livelihoods, squeezing out the resources needed for our people's survival."
"Of course, we also know that the panda people have no malicious intentions, this is just a stage that must be experienced in the development of the group."
"Thanks to the care of Lord Akajing, our clan can still live in seclusion on this reef leisurely, but ......"
Ji sighed distressedly: "How long can this peaceful situation last?" Retreat and retreat, and one day there will be no retreat. ”
Salian can pour chicken soup on the Ancestral Turtles and give them the courage to defend their territory.
But just like that phrase that panda people often hang on their lips.
Nature is incomprehensible.
The ancestor turtle was quiet by nature, peace-loving, and did not like to fight with others.
Even if they can muster up their courage for a while, in the face of the huge base of panda people, they will eventually choose to back down, and the previous struggle will be meaningless.
The Ancestral Turtle had thought about leaving Pandaria to go out, but after so many years, a god had put it into practice, and it was difficult for a gentle turtle to show decisiveness before it was pushed to the limit.
What Sarayan needs to do is provide them with a goal that is visible and worth striving for.
Mount Hyjal is not easily open to outsiders, and pandaren adventurers who have left the Lost Isle have never been able to enter this sacred mountain that is home to a large number of wild demigod souls.
The panda people of Trail Island only knew that Tortora was still alive, and no one knew where the turtle demigod was hiding to recuperate.
But Saleien knew.
Tortora has been recuperating at the bottom of a large lake between the Eisena Glades and the Malorne Sanctuary.
With this clear goal, the Ancestor Turtle led by Ji excitedly agreed to the deal of Sarian.
They will continue to secretly transport the Titan creations produced by the Naraksha Engine to Northrend, while Sarjan will use his connections to help introduce the Ancestral Turtles to Mount Hyjal and return them to Tortola's protection.
The deal will remain in place until the fog of Pandaria clears, when Kultiras can replace the toiling Ancestral Turtles with regular troop carriers.
But there are pros and cons to everything.
While Pandalia has not yet been unblocked, Pandaren's "good" neighbor Zandalar will not notice for the time being, and the Ancestral Turtle will be able to transport the completed Titan Creations to their destination in relative safety.
Once the fog of Pandaria has dissipated, Kurtiras's troop carriers will need to be wary of the threat of Zandalara's golden fleet as they travel between the two places.
After negotiating with the Ancestral Turtle, Salian made a promise to the Patriarch Ji that when he left Pandaria, he would take a Knowing Turtle with him as a mount.
This Ancestral Turtle will carry Salian and the others to the continent of Kalimdor, first to Uldem to unlock the Furnace of Origin, and then all the way north, and finally to the Holy Mountain of Hyjal, where it will meet Tortora, the demigod master who has been absent for thousands of years.
After leaving Pandaria and returning to civilization, Sarean hurried to his last stop before leaving Pandaria.
Mogu Mountain Sacred Terrace.
The week agreed with Valera had not yet arrived, and Salaan ended the trip early.
Azadas was also dutifully tuning the initialized Naraksha engine.
With him as the engine builder, the restarted Naraksha engine will no longer have the oolong event of accidentally producing flesh creatures.
Saljan was playful and did not disturb Azadas, who was working hard.
With the remote assistance of Starlight Xianglong Iragon and Qinglong Yulong, Sarian established a magic net connection with Liu He and others who were far away in the Splendid Valley, and channeled the magic net energy of the Splendid Valley into the Naraksha Engine.
As Sarren and the barrage had guessed, Thor had used this method to power the Narak Brake engine earlier.
Although the energy of the pool of youth is unlimited, the output is not large, and it cannot violently burst out an army of hundreds of thousands of Titan creations in a short period of time.
However, this method of thin water and long flow is just right, and the Ancestral Turtle, which is responsible for transporting troops, will not bear too much pressure because of this.
"Whew~"
After connecting the energy supply line, Salian sat in the engine core room that smelled of engine oil and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Good work, Sarren."
Azadas, who had not spoken a word after entering the working state, finally spoke.
"I've got it here, come on, let's start the engine and give it a try."
"That traitor of Lorcan has a good day to this day!"
Azadas gritted his teeth and pressed the start button of the Naraksha engine: "His punishment will begin here!" ”
