Chapter 272: Hogus's Skull
"Yo roar~!"
Locke's teeth chattered, and he closed his eyes tightly, and he heard Chromina's excited shouts in the howling wind. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Damn it! Damn it! ”
When Locke landed on the ground, he involuntarily sat on the ground, cursing incessantly.
He finally understood what Crocker meant by carrying him.
"Welcome to this flight, please rate this flight service!"
Locke flirted his heart with his hands, and he heard Chromie's laughter in front of him.
"1 point!" Locke said angrily.
"Oh? That's a perfect score?! Chromie laughed, just like the laughter of a gnome girl character in the game.
Locke involuntarily opened his eyes and looked at her, "Why don't you ask me what the perfect score is?"
Locke didn't wait for her to speak before continuing, "Do you understand a 5 out of 5?" You only have 1 point! The quality of service to the customer is so poor! Your customers are almost scared to pee their pants! ”
"If it's like this next time, I'll refuse to ride!"
Faced with Locke's displeasure, Chromie didn't say anything, she still looked at Locke with a grin, and then stretched out her staff and handed it to Locke.
"What for!" Locke said angrily.
"That's our goal, how long are you going to sit here? Well? Chromie continued to hand her staff, "Come on, don't grind, hurry up, we have a lot of places to go!" ”
Locke calmed his pounding heart and stood up from the ground, ignoring the staff handed by the dragon.
"Lead the way! I don't know how to go here! You know for sure! Locke glared at Chromie dissatisfied, "I swear! Next time you hang me like this, I'd rather run on the ground! ”
Chromie turned around with a smile, ignoring him and walking towards the woodland.
"Hey! What I'm saying is true! Locke couldn't help but follow, chasing and shouting.
"I know, it's the same as if I don't pull you, you won't leave!" Chromie, who had taken a small broken step in front of him, complained. "I find you to be as verbose as you have been and will be."
"This is not called verbose, this is called strong security awareness!" Locke corrected her.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense! We're here! Chromie said impatiently.
Locke looked ahead, and a large crater that had sunk slightly downward appeared in front of him. At the bottom of a parched lake, ghosts are fighting each other.
The Spectres seem to be divided into two factions, one is the equipment of the Lordaeron plate armor, and the other is the outfit of the Undead Scourge. They fought at the bottom of the dry lake.
"No, see no." Chromie pointed to a black ball in the middle of the lake, "That's Hox's skull. ”
The two groups of ghosts seemed to be dotted with the skull, and they seemed to care about the skull. Locke's brow furrowed, this is a mission that needs to be fought!?
"Those ghosts are the souls of the dead bound in the skull of Hogus, and they can only be killed like this for the rest of their lives, unless they can be purified. They keep a little memory of what they had before they died, and they will only fight in vain. Chromie explained.
"So what can I do to save them?!" Locke frowned and asked, the tragic soul of Pamela should be purified.
"When our ritual begins, they will be saved." Chromie then caught up, flipping on top of himself.
"You go get the skull and we're gone! Take this, I'll lend it to you! Chromie handed out a black leather pouch, "What a good way to hold those skulls!" ”
This leather bag is made of unknown leather and is soft to the touch. I don't know what the use is, but it's a good thing to be able to carry dragons with you.
"It's nothing, just a bag of magic materials made from the leather of the owl." Seeing Locke looking at the bag curiously, Chromie couldn't help but explain, "The skin of the beast has an affinity for magic, and it is a suitable storage container for magic materials. ”
Locke hung the leather bag on his belt, and he tried to try it with his spirit.
Ooh! That's a lot of space, 28 cubic meters.
Locke walked quietly towards the bottom of the pit, he had made up his mind! Be sure to ask Chromie to give this bag to himself in a moment!
Although I did this voluntarily this time, I can't help her in vain.
Locke walked towards the bottom of the lake, which had long since dried up due to other unknown circumstances.
As the distance got closer, he approached the range of the ghost fight, and he heard the ghosts shouting as they fought.
"We are the last guardians of Talonshire! We can't go back! ”
"We can't give up! Fight for our family! ”
"Where's the Silver Hand?! We need their help! ”
"Our captain is down! What are we going to do! ”
These human ghosts in standard plate armor may have been confused by something, not realizing that they were long dead.
As he got closer, Locke realized that the ghosts were not trying to stop him.
And the human ghosts seemed to be able to see him, and they all showed surprised looks, and they tried even more desperately to block the cataclysmic undead who tried to get past them.
"You...."Locke looked at the ghosts in surprise, apparently they could see him! And your own consciousness!
"It's a paladin with the Silver Hand! They're here to support us!! Resist! Victory is at hand! ”
"Here comes the Silver Hand! The Union has not abandoned us!! We've been waiting for reinforcements!! ”
"Kill these scum here! Talom County has been rescued!! ”
Locke stood stunned, he looked in amazement at the morale of these undead warriors, who were defeating the undead soldiers on the other side.
However, no matter how they fought, as soon as one of them was killed, another undead warrior would immediately appear around to take over the previous battle.
The battle was endless, and as Chromie said, they might really be the souls of the dead bound in the skull of Hogus.
But what did they mean when they saw me shouting?
Just as Locke was stunned, one of the ghosts suddenly shouted at Locke. "My lord! Do what you have to do! I'm here and we can support it! ”
"Captain Joseph is still waiting for redemption, my lord! Do what you have to do! Here we have no problem. ”
Locke now didn't know if the ghosts really knew about his situation, or if they had said these words to him for some other reason.
He walked through the battlefield of strife towards Hogus's skull.
These ghosts are spirits, and they can all see Locke's form, but they can't do any damage to Locke. Whenever Locke passed by these undead Scourge soldiers, they would always intimidate him into saying something to him.
"The Lich King will make you his most powerful Death Knight!!"
"The Alliance has abandoned you a long time ago! You're still serving it?!! ”
"The Scourge of the Dead will win! And you are destined to be one of us!! ”
"The kingdom has fallen, the plague is raging across the land, and your family has become one of us! What are you working so hard for? Give up hope! Join us! We are the Scourge Legion!! We are eternal!!! We are immortal!!! ”
As Locke placed his hand on the earth-clinged head, a series of whispers came into Locke's mind, and it continued to whisper in Locke's ear like a transmitter.
"Shut up!!"
Locke yelled, placing the thing in the magic bag that Chromie had given, and the whisper disappeared.
At the same time, all the ghosts around them froze, and their expressions froze. It's like a movie that has been paused by someone.
Locke sighed and saluted the warriors who had surrounded his homeland.
It didn't take long for the frozen ghosts to dissipate like mist into the forest.
When Locke asks him questions back to him, Chromie gives his own explanation.
"These souls were the Daron County militia bound in their skulls, who died at the hands of Hogus in that tragic battle, and Hogus absorbed their souls to strengthen his strength. When Hogus was killed, his soul was completely destroyed, and the souls he absorbed regained self-consciousness. ”
"Because of the wounded souls, these reborn souls, they only retain the last memory of their lives. Since no one controls them, they will appear around the skull, using the skull as a vehicle to fight around them repeatedly, repeatedly. ”
Chromie pointed at Locke, "The Paladins who originally killed the Silver Hand of Hogus also discovered this problem. Hogus's skull is always creating panic, and these outgoing ghosts scare the surviving people. The paladins tried to purify the souls and skulls with light, but all failed. Because these ghosts have their own obsessions, and when they are not satisfied, they do not dissipate. Due to the continuous battles, the paladins finally had to throw it into the Blackwood Lake to reduce the panic it caused. ”
"On the contrary, the journey we will take on in time will require the last memories of these ghosts. This is essential for us! Chromie wrenched his fingers, "Redpass's shield, Davey's Covenant, Marduk's sword, all of these things have remnants of memories on them, and once they're all there, it's time for us to start our journey through time!" ”
"I thought you'd take me straight through history!" Locke smiled wryly, he really thought that Chromie would take him through history. At the very least, he used a strange spell to make himself travel to the past in this world, just like those copies of the Cave of Time.
"No, no, no, that's too risky. Although I have the ability, do you think about the difference between doing this and changing history? Chromie shook his head, "The first precept of our bronze dragon is not to interfere with the development of the timeline!" ”
"This incident is within acceptable limits!" Chromie looked at Locke and continued with an expression on his face that I knew what you were trying to ask, "Changing the fate of these souls will not have any impact on history, and it will happen in future history, we are just going to do it step by step!" ”
