63. Treasures. Narak Engine
Kunlai Mountain, on the edge of the snow-capped cliff of the White Tiger Temple, Tyrion, who is wearing a home's robe, is playing chess with Lao Chen, a legendary warrior monk who will raise his body here.
This is one of the important entertainment of the panda people in the history of 10,000 years, and it is not quite the same as the chess in other parts of Azeroth that is biased towards the products of Western feudal civilization, but it is very much like the black and white Go in Tyrion's vague memory, which is easy to learn and difficult to master, and in the battle of chess players, the Grand Lord is a beginner at best.
But it's a good thing to kill time with the wits against each other, and the two people playing chess can still chat, and on the stone platform not far from the two of them, the bear children returning from the Fairview Valley are shouting and playing a card game called "Hearthstone", which is a puzzle game that has recently become popular in the Federation, and is very popular with the citizens of the Federation.
Tyrion frowned, thought for several minutes, and then put the sunspot in his hand into the chessboard, probably because he felt that he had made a good move, the big lord's frowning brows were relaxed, he raised his head and looked at Lao Chen, who was sitting cross-legged opposite, and he said softly:
"A few days ago, Lili asked my subordinates to help her check some things, about the inheritance of the Storm Spirits family in Pandaria, I heard that the Storm Spirits family on Lost Island is actually a branch of the Storm Spirits family in Pandaria?"
"Well, that's true."
Lao Chen, who was still wearing a bandage on his arm, picked up a white chess piece from his hand, he glanced at the great lord, and the legendary warrior monk smiled innocently:
"The Lost Island is full of explorers who left Pandaria with Master Liu Lang back then, not only the members of the Storm Spirits family, but also the Tiemei family, the Fire Palm family and the Yunge family, and many small branches, in Wusong Village, everyone often talks about the deeds of their ancestors in Pandaria, and in the culture of the panda people, it is very, very important to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors."
Lao Chen put the white chess piece in his hand in a certain position on the chessboard, and this move was very magical, like a big axe, easily destroying the advantage that the Great Lord had accumulated on the chessboard, which made Tyrion's expression difficult to see.
But the Great Lord is not a man who can't afford to lose...
He threw the chess pieces in his hand on the chessboard, declaring his defeat, this is already the 14th game he lost in the game with Lao Chen, this simple fat panda in front of him, under the appearance of the martial arts, is still an authentic Go master, it is said that the warrior monks of Wuchen Temple need to receive Go training, with this entertainment to maintain the mood and find a breakthrough.
"Ah, I lost again."
Tyrion picked up a glass of blood wine with ice, he took a sip of the cold wine, then looked at Lao Chen, and said:
"You've won, Chen, so let me celebrate your victory with good news... My subordinate, yesterday, in the southwestern plains of the Valley of the Four Winds, found a brewery that was being attacked by the rabbit demon, if she read it correctly, that brewery, it should be called the Storm Spirits Brewery, which is the last legacy of your family in Pandaria. ”
"And I've heard that there are still many members of the Storm Spirits family, active in the Mantis Plateau and the Valley of the Four Winds..."
Lao Chen raised his head suddenly, and the Great Lord clearly saw a trace of joy flashing in Lao Chen's eyes, seeing that Lao Chen was about to get up and salute, the Great Lord smiled and waved his hand, signaling him not to be so outward.
"Your nieces and my daughters have a great time, they are real friends."
The Great Lord put down his wine glass and said to Lao Chen:
"Lili has always wanted to go to the Federation, and she should stay in school honestly at her age, so I'll be a lobbyist, and after your trip in Pandaria, the National School of Natural Sciences of the Federation of Defia will send an invitation to Lili, and I hope you and her father can agree."
"And with Vanessa taking care of her, she won't be bullied in the Federation."
"This..."
Lao Chen hesitated, he was Lili's uncle, but his relationship with Lili's father, that is, his eldest brother, was not very harmonious, but since the Great Lord said it himself, Lao Chen thought for a moment and nodded.
"Okay, I'll go talk to Cheng Bo, but my brother, alas, he's even more stubborn than me."
While the two "chess friends" were chatting, Tyrion suddenly noticed that the shadow appeared on the platform of the cliff, so he stood up, said goodbye to Lao Chen, and then asked him to take care of the bear children, and followed the shadow down the cliff.
"The Black Bishop has reached his destination, and the message he left behind indicates that he has succeeded in gaining the trust of the remaining Mantis Demon Heroes, and they have taken advantage of the darkness of the night to take advantage of the stolen ship and head towards Northrend."
The shadow whispered to Tyrion:
"Dai Lin has separated a warship to follow them, but what I don't understand is, boss, if this matter is really so important, why should it be handed over to an untrustworthy person to carry it out?"
"Because I don't want to alarm Yug Saron in advance, Nasa."
Tyrion looked at the towering Kunlai Snow Mountain in the distance, and he whispered:
"It's likely that the Demon of the Thousand Throats has taken control of all of Ulduar, and if we appear directly on the Stormcrags, Yog-Saron, who has a premonition of threat, will most likely go out of his way to destroy that city and prevent us from entering it, but there is something in that Titan City that we must get our hands on, and that is related to the ultimate detachment of the entire Dark Blade, and I can't risk it."
"We're definitely going to go there in the future, but if we decide to go into Ulduar, then we have to do it with one hit... Before Yog-Saron can react, he must take over the most important creation engine in its entirety, and the Black Bishop is a pawn who will prepare us for everything, without worrying about his loyalty..."
The High Lord narrowed his eyes:
"What he wants, only I can give him!"
"Okay."
Shadow had been by Tyrion's side for almost a decade, and she knew Tyrion's style of doing things well, so she stopped paying attention to this matter and began to talk about another thing:
"The palace you asked us to look for in the hinterland of Kunlai Mountain, we found it! Lord Iriel is cleaning the palace of the mad rock creations with his soldiers, and the place will soon be cleared. ”
"Good!"
Tyrion snapped his fingers, a black-red icy flame bloomed in front of his eyes, the Great Lord's pet, the Hellfire Phoenix Ifertar hissed happily, and flew around the Great Lord twice, and then under Tyrion's signal, the body of the little Hellfire Phoenix expanded rapidly, and in an instant, it became a behemoth with a body length of 30 meters and a wingspan of more than 30 meters.
The Great Lord sat on the saddle behind the Hellfire Phoenix, he nodded to the shadow, who summoned his own armored battle bats to lead the way for the Great Lord in front, and after just ten minutes, they landed on an inconspicuous platform on the majestic ridge behind Kunlai Mountain, probably because no one visited for nearly 10,000 years, this platform was covered with snow, and a team of elite death knights were patrolling the mountain stream around this platform.
Obviously, this is a very important facility location for the Darkblade Legion.
However, when the High Lord entered the mysterious palace hidden in the mountains, he saw the angry Death Lord Iriel, and some dejected Death Knights, who had clearly just experienced a vicious battle and were still suffering some damage, judging by the scars on their armor.
"What's going on?"
The Great Lord asked suspiciously, and Iriel, whose face was still stained with black ash, flicked his tail, and glared viciously at the panda man scholar sitting next to him, and this good-tempered hoof girl said angrily:
"You ask him!"
"Uh..."
Seeing that the Great Lord turned his gaze, the embarrassed Pandaren Scholar Zhou Zhuo, who was also a Pandaren Ambassador who had a good relationship with the Dark Blade Legion, said with some fear:
"I really didn't mean to, I saw that button, and I thought, maybe if I press it, I might find a lot of hidden secrets..."
Speaking of this, a glimmer of light flashed in Zhou Zhuo's eyes:
"And I did find out! That strange huge engineering instrument, it does contain strange knowledge, that is the deepest secret hidden by the Mogu Empire! My decades of research are in the right direction! Mogu is not a natural life! They're made! ”
"First we went through those strange texts, accidentally summoned the evil spirits of 4 ancient emperors, caught us off guard, and then recklessly activated some instruments that you don't even know what they are, yes! You have indeed discovered the secret... You've satisfied your curiosity! ”
Iriel, who crossed his arms, said indifferently:
"But can you give us advance notice before you press that button? Because of your reckless actions, I lost 25 of my best knights! Maybe I should make you a Death Knight to make up for my loss! ”
Iriel's cold voice made the excited Zhou Zhuo like a frosted eggplant, and the panda man muttered in a low voice:
"I didn't mean to, and I don't want to see this terrible thing..."
"Uh, okay, don't be angry."
The Great Lord looked at the panda man scholar in front of him with strange eyes, he rubbed his chin and whispered:
"Zhou Zhuo, Zhou Zhuo, you remind me of an old friend of mine, a skilled explorer, you have a lot in common with him, you both have a strong curiosity, and you always can't control your hands, you will definitely become good friends... Well, you've caused irreparable damage to the Darkblade, and in reparation, I want you to do something for us..."
"Even if I hired you."
The Great Lord's request made Zhou Zhuo raise his head, and this very well-cultivated panda man scholar blinked, and he said stubbornly:
"I won't help you do bad things, and you won't take up arms!"
"No, no, no, you misunderstood, Mr. Zhou Zhuo."
Tyrion raised a finger and shook it in front of Zhou Zhuo's eyes, and he whispered with a smile on his face:
"It's not for you to fight, I don't lack a bad soldier, I just want to hire you, go to another continent, use your superior insight and professional knowledge, to find a relic of an ancient Titan for us, just like here, no, no! It's 10,000 times bigger than here! ”
"It's a lost city known as the "City of Titans", which contains the secrets of the ancient gods! What do you think? Do you accept it? ”
Zhou Zhuo, a traveling scholar who dedicated his life to history and knowledge, slowly brightened his eyes after hearing the Great Lord's explanation, and in the end, he nodded without hesitation.
"No problem! I accept! ”
"I can feel that in that city, I can find a lot of valuable knowledge..."
———————————————————
"Send someone to watch over him, Nassa."
The High Lord himself walked in the depths of this mysterious palace with Irel and a group of Death Knights, and he commanded the shadows beside him:
"Zhou Zhuo and Brian in this aspect of exploration. Copperbeard is also extremely talented, and with his "help", the Copperbeard Dwarves may soon find the entrance to Ulduar, but be careful! Don't let him touch anything of unknown origin... This guy's luck is just as bad as Brian's! ”
"Well, I'll send the best agents to assist him."
The shadow nodded, and in the next moment, everyone bypassed a passage hidden by a stone door, and what came into view was a grand underground temple, the walls here were covered with steel, and in the center of the temple, there was a device full of Titan style, all kinds of sturdy energy pipes flowed with blue Titan energy, and huge gears and strange transmission shafts were operating, and above the ground that shone blue like glass, the ring-shaped facilities on all sides had risen, representing that this ancient Titan instrument had been activated.
In front of everyone's eyes, a strange and huge cloud auspicious dragon was suspended in mid-air, staring at this group of outsiders with machine-like eyes.
This dragon has no body, its body seems to have been completely transformed by the power of the Titan, and its body like a giant snake is covered with blue starlight, and there are dots of energy nodes shining in it, which looks extremely beautiful.
But this beautiful thing is very, very dangerous...
"That's it!"
Iriel lifted the hammer in his hand and said to Tyrion:
"Zhou Zhuo pressed the button, and this guy rushed out from the depths of the instrument, its breath was very terrifying, and the best knight didn't even have a chance to react, it was completely melted by the flames of the starlight..."
"It's the Guardian..."
Tyrion looked at the Starlight Dragon in front of him with admiration, and he whispered:
"It has been tasked with guarding this ancient temple, and what it guards is the best trophy of our trip to Pandaria... A secondary genesis engine built by the Titan Guardians..."
"Narak... It had forged the bravest and most powerful soldiers for the Titans, and it was these soldiers who defeated the invincible Elder God head-on and put an end to that era of calamity, and now..."
"It's mine!"
