Chapter 1471: The Red Scourge Engraved into the DNA of Orcs
After a round and a round of shopping, the three of Saljan returned to Shattrath City in a leisurely manner.
As expected, the mantle sounding device brought out by the Naru has not yet reached a conclusion, and it is expected that it will take about a week or so.
In the last week, the Sarena family didn't bother to run around, and honestly stayed in Shattrath City to pass the time.
The Forest of Talado, where Shattrath City is located, is located in the very center of Draenor, with direct access to the Tanaan Jungle, Gorrond, Alanka Peaks, Nagrand, and Shadowmoon Valley, making it a veritable land of the Five Wars.
One thing to say, Salian once did not understand why the Deleni people had planned to keep a low profile, but they had built a majestic main city in the well-connected Tarador Forest.
Isn't this a clear provocation to all the Draenor natives?
As the heart of the continent of Draenor, the Forest of Talador has long served as a barrier between the orc and ogre clans.
With the exception of two small Ogre clans, which were once located in the southwestern and southeastern regions of Talado, few other clans entered Talado with great fanfare.
As visitors from outside the world, the Deleni people are unaware of this unspoken local rule.
After confirming that there were no large indigenous settlements in the Talado region, they soon happily occupied this neutral territory, which attracted the total hostility of orcs and ogres.
In hindsight, Sarean speculated that the reason for this wrong decision was that the Prophet Veron temporarily lost his ability to foresee after Draenor was forced to land on Draenor.
For a long time on the run, the Deleni had relied too much on Velon's providential foresight.
This leads to the lack of independent thinking ability of the decision-making level of Deleni in the event of an emergency, and will always subconsciously turn to Velon.
This is the inertia that intelligent beings inevitably have.
After temporarily settling in Draenor, Velon, who had lost his ability to foresee for unknown reasons, went into retreat for a long time.
It was also during this period that the Synod of Bishops, which was governed by five archbishops, was formally established.
At the urging of the scholar Archbishop Osar, the Council of Bishops unanimously decided to establish a main city in the relatively sparsely populated Tarador Forest, which would later become known as Shatrath, the City of Light.
Velen was still in retreat in the temple of Carabo, and did not challenge the Council of Bishops, and the decision was passed.
Moreover, with Veron's state at the time, even if he knew about it in advance, he might not have resolutely stopped it, at most he persuaded the archbishops to act more cautiously.
What happened later, everyone knows.
The once-thriving City of Light fell under siege by the Old Horde, and Akama and other garrisons who held the city until the last moment were contaminated by the plague spells deliberately spread by the Shadow Council, and unfortunately fell into the Broken.
This time he met with Akama, and Salian deliberately used his life force to check his body.
The results are not encouraging.
Originally, Sarean thought that the appearance of the Shattered was simply the result of evil pollution, but this was not the case.
The Plague Contamination dropped by the Shadow Council was a strange concoction of high concentrations of evil energy and a plague common to Draenor, known locally as the Red Scourge.
That's right, the kind of sporosis that Jorin, Garrosh, and Dranosh all had when they were kids.
Through repeated discussions and verifications with the barrage, Salian can basically confirm that the so-called Red Scourge is mixed with a lot of spore components from the original beast.
However, this plague was not spread by the proto-beasts, but by ogres from the Gorian Empire.
At the end of the reign of the Goria Empire, the ogres were increasingly unable to defend against the attacks of the orc slaves in the face of the orcs who had received strong support from the elements.
So, they came up with a very shady plan.
Just as the orc clans were marching against the ogre's enslavement, a sudden epidemic began to spread, killing and injuring countless people.
The chief orc shaman at the time inquired about the Elemental Throne about this, and finally learned the source of the plague.
The appearance of the Red Scourges angers the King of the Four Elements, who aim to maintain the ecological balance of Draenor.
At that time, the Elemental Throne was not as weak as it is now, and under the wrath of the four Elemental Kings, a powerful storm swept through the capital of the Goria Empire.
The once majestic city of Gauria became a thing of the past, and the Gorian Empire fell apart, splitting into independent city-states that were not affiliated with each other.
The triumphant orc clans rejoiced to be freed from their enslavement, but the Red Scourge, a plague researched specifically for orcs, was carved into their DNA, and it did not leave the orcs.
Every few generations, this man-made plague would break out among the orc race, and it was not until almost the orcs drank the demon's blood that the Red Scourge finally disappeared from Draenor's history.
There is an old saying in another world, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
However, the Shadow Council, which has done all the bad things, does not intend to follow this principle.
They extracted the Red Scourge that had killed the orcs in the first place, and mixed it with evil spells during the attack on Shattrath City.
This mixed blight spell did a great job, and a large number of valiant Draeni garrisons were incapacitated as a result, and after the destruction of Shattrath City, a new branch of Draeni was born, the Shatterers.
If it was just a simple evil energy pollution, Sarjan was sure that it could be neutralized by Akandol, which was cultivated by Vandal.
As an outsider, however, Azeroth knew little about the long-vanished Red Scourge.
Even the original virus samples could not be collected, so it was impossible to develop a treatment plan.
During the week that Shattrath City waited for the final results of the Mantle Sounding Unit, Sarren had several rounds of discussions with Barrage, Gianna, and Onexia about the issue.
The final conclusion was that the Maghan orcs were turned to for help.
To be precise, it is to turn to Gaia'an's mother, who has personally healed the Red Scourge.
Galadar was originally built as an isolation ward, and Gaiaan's husband, Garrad, the former chief of the Frostwolf Clan, was also killed by the Red Scourge.
Gaiaan had followed the sick Garad to Nagrand, where he built the Galadar, a red plague quarantine named after Garad.
After Gallard himself died of illness, the reins of the quarantine ward fell into the hands of Gaiaan, who treated Garrosh and Yolin and Delaños.
Garrosh and the others were also a blessing in disguise, because they were infected with this highly contagious plague, and they were forbidden to receive the blessing of the "divine messenger" - that is, to drink the blood of demons.
With the once formidable old tribe completely relegated to history, Galadar, an isolated ward excluded from mainstream orc society, ironically became the last pure-blood orc colony.
Gaia'an must have relied on more than her own abilities to heal Garrosh and the others, otherwise she and Garad would not have had to establish this quarantine area on the shores of the Heavenly Song Lake, directly opposite the Elemental Throne.
Sarean and Onexia speculated that Gaiaan must have borrowed the power of the elements to cure Garrosh and the others.
However, with the destruction of Senluken, the previous generation of Draenor Elemental Kings all fell.
The new generation of Elemental Kings has only inherited some of the memories and powers of their ancestors, and they also have little understanding of the nature of the Red Scourge.
Therefore, Gaiaan is the person who knows the nature of the Red Scourge best, how it is caused, and how to cure it.
Through the Messenger, Sarayan sent a letter of visit to Nagla, intending to make another trip to Galadar after dealing with the threat posed by Gaunam.
A week later, Grull returned to the outside of Shattrath with a blue-nosed and swollen Goron.
This Goron was a little smaller than Grull, and although he seemed to be following Grull honestly, there was a clear expression of disbelief on his face.
"Sit down!"
After coming to Sarjan, Grull slapped the "little" Goron on the back of the head and forced him to sit in front of Saljan with him.
"Boss, this kid is my eldest son, Doon."
"Due to the death of Golgrom and the others, I am currently a little short of people, and I plan to bring him back to Blade Mountain to help me manage a part of the territory."
Saryan smiled disapprerovingly: "You don't need to report this kind of trivial matter to me, just follow your heart." ”
Doon unruly raised his one-eyed gaze and looked at Sarren: "Daddy's boss? It's up to you? I see ......"
"Shut up!"
Gruul's unsparing beating made both Sarren and Gianna twitch their eyes, but Onexia put on a good show.
Fortunately, Goron was born with rough skin and thick meat, and Gruhl's "fatherly education" didn't beat Doon out of the way.
Grull smiled at Sarian with a dark belly: "Boss, this kid has lacked education since he was a child, and has developed a bad habit of looking above the top. ”
"Why don't you do me a favor and let this kid learn to ...... How do you say that? ”
Salian helplessly raised his hand to support his forehead: "There are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky." ”
