18. Imperial Archaeological Observatory
The Creator's Gate, the name of the ancient ruins that stand deep in the Thanaris Desert, in the middle of the Tanaris Desert, the Silissus Desert and the Angolo Crater, has been protected by a powerful ancient magic for endless years.
Thousands of years ago, the expedition team sent by Firas Feathermoon Fortress discovered the valley and the gates in the valley that were protected by the barrier. Copperbeard also arrived in the valley for the first time, and Brian judged from the traces of the valley's rocks that the ruins were very old, and he exaggerated to call them "the Creator's Gate".
Of course, at that time, Brian had not yet received a letter from the mysterious "Fordman", nor had he really come into contact with the mysterious "Titan", but the name of the old dwarf revealed the true face of this ruin.
This is indeed related to the mysterious Titan, however, at this time, Brian. Copperbeard was still on his own expedition to the northernmost Storm Cliffs of Northrend, and he didn't have time to be here to participate in this archaeological activity.
Along the valley of shrubs all the way to the west, the originally thick and solid rock-like barrier has been completely broken, like a mountain wall that has collapsed from the inside, and the black stone blocks almost blocked the entrance to the entire Creator's Gate, but this is not a problem for mages and shamans, after the collapse of this Titan barrier, the forbidden area in the valley has also disappeared, and the elements are active again.
With the cooperation of Ronin and Noupotun, it took less than one hour for this extremely complex archaeological observation team to clear a road into the ruins.
And after the evacuation stripped of the black rock, the real "Creator's Gate" was exposed to everyone's eyes, enough to shake the hearts of any explorer who entered it.
It was a huge mountain range that had been cut through the center, and on either side of the rift that crossed the mountain range, there were two huge black sculptures, and from the position of the sculptures, it was obvious that this thing was a sculpture hammered by a master builder on the mountain wall, and it fit in with the mountain range.
The shape of the sculpture is very strange, it looks like a huge black panther squatting on the ground, but it is a body similar to the tiger man of Draenor, with wings on its back, between its claws, holding a blazing torch, the face of the sculpture is extremely serious, its eyes are staring in the direction of the bush valley, as if it is expecting to see the scenery and the world beyond the barrier...
In short, just the Creator's Gate at the entrance of this ruin gave the members of the Archaeological Observation Team a glimpse into the secrets hidden beneath this world, and judging from the records of the Night Elves, it is very likely that it has been hidden for centuries, even tens of thousands of years, but after passing through the Creator's Gate, what appears in front of everyone's eyes is not a perfect world like Taoyuan Township.
On the contrary, it was a vast expanse of yellow sand, exactly like the great deserts of Tanaris and Silishus... Here, in this vast yellow sand, is there really a mysterious ancient civilization that has never been in contact with the world?
"Look! There is no doubt that this is a new civilization that has never been discovered by the world! β
Harrison, a historian and renowned archaeologist from the Kingdom of Stormwind. Dr. Jones rode on a tall horse, and with an excited face, he introduced the small "expedition group" behind him:
"A sculpture of a beast we've never seen before, with an upper body resembling a humanoid creature and a lower body resembling a panther, and a pair of wings... Well, maybe it's the nature gods that this civilization worships, maybe it's them or the sacred beasts they imagined... Oh, and the beast still protects the burning torch? β
Dr. Harrison, wearing a brown cowboy hat, quickly pulled a notebook out of his backpack and began to write and draw, muttering something to his mouth.
"They certainly worship the flame of nature, which is the primitive belief that all intelligent civilizations will be born, which most likely indicates that we are about to face a civilized civilization, not even inferior to us... Of course, the most important thing is that it is very likely that they have lived in this strange seal for thousands of years, and the complete isolation from the outside world must have caused them to derive a culture that is completely different from ours! β
"It's so exciting!"
This doctor is probably the most professional person in this "archaeological observation team", and he is the only one who is immersed in the anticipation of the mysterious civilization that will be met, as for the others... Even the two great shamans who had just integrated into the world of Azeroth couldn't help but look at someone in the team.
Yes, **Shi Luo Ning...
Between the "publicity" of a glamorous pirate lady who likes to gossip and can't keep secrets, rumors about Ronin and his bad luck have become a new topic of discussion when everyone has nothing to do.
And in the face of this dΓ©jΓ vu situation, Luo Ning, a famous "dragon mage" in the human empire, felt as if he had returned to the disgusting city of Dalaran, and the eyes cast around him were either curious, or fearful, or funny, which made Luo Ning have a gloomy face since he set off.
He didn't want to talk... Especially seeing her apprentice Daphne. Miss Marin left the magic carpet she was driving under the clumsy excuse of "looking for water to drink", and the little dwarf Jindy with a look of fear mixed with excitement. When the sparks squeezed into the carriage behind, Luo Ning's eyes became even more gloomy.
And the initiator of all this, Miss Catherine "Sharp Blade", simply took a few of her retinue and hung far behind this expedition.
Pirates, this is a group of lawless and extremely superstitious fellows, and the intelligent Miss Catherine is not immune, especially after witnessing the terrible consequences of Ronin's bad luck, no matter how brave Miss Catherine is, she intends to get as far away from the "Dragon Mage" Ronin as possible before the mission is over.
Of course, there was another reason why Miss Catherine was moving separately from the expedition...
"Bud!"
Miss Pirate, who rode behind her beloved white camel "The Countess", asked in a low voice:
"Are you sure we're going to make a lot of money this time?"
"Of course!"
Following Catherine, riding behind the black camel, with three points of treachery, seven points of shrewdness, the young man reached out and put on his cowboy hat, and then rubbed his hands together, he turned his head to look at the huge and ancient stone statues on both sides of the open "Creator's Gate" behind him, and a gleam flashed in his squinted eyes:
"In the name of the Nedrek family, Boss, I just sneaked a look at those two stone statues, and from my ancestral experience, they have been standing there for at least over 10,000 years! That is, no matter what this civilization looks like, they have been in their nest for 10,000 years... Actually, "heritage prospectors" like me very much agree with Brian. A word from Mr. Copperbeard..."
"Even if I bury myself in the desert for a thousand years, I will appreciate in value... And it's going to be worth a lot of money! β
The young man named Bard laughed twice, and he wiped his mustache proudly:
"I can guarantee that as long as we can find more than 3 real artifacts in the desert in front of us, we will make a sure profit! And I heard that this relic is related to the mysterious "Titan", as far as I know, in recent years, the Explorers Guild has been collecting any relics related to the "Titan" at any cost, that is, it is the real treasure. β
"Come on, Bud, don't put gold on your face, what kind of "cultural relics prospectors", who doesn't know that the Nedrek family is a notorious antiquities dealer in the entire South China Sea, but I have to say that your family's identification technology is indeed trustworthy. β
Another very young female pirate who accompanied Bud, a beautiful woman dressed like Catherine with a 6-point resemblance, reached out and brushed her hair, and very viciously provoked Bud's praise of herself, and then in Bud's angry glare, the bewitching woman said to her leader:
"So, boss, you're probably going to have your own second ship... Even, a small fleet! We need to celebrate in advance! β
"Look at you, little Edara, your little mouth is really good at talking! I can assure you, my friends, that you will take 40% of all the loot we get this time! β
Catherine, who was touted by her subordinates, laughed and threw a bottle of wine to her subordinates, these people are also one of the few friends she has made in her years of pit thieves and abductions, all of whom are guys with unique skills, but not good at fighting, and Catherine, the flower of the South Sea, is all the way.
After all, Ms. Catherine, the "Blade", has never been a name for herself by force.
Riding on her white camel, with an unobstructed view of the desert in front of her, Catherine herself opened a bottle of wine, and after blowing a wave of bulls with her subordinates, she drank her wine and looked back at the Creator's Gate farther and farther behind her, and a glint flashed in her beautiful eyes.
"Money? What does money count..."
Catherine touched her beautiful, but wrinkled face with time, and she said to herself:
"As long as we finish the work at hand, the old man and I will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of our lives, and even for the next life... After all, the lord was very "generous" to his subordinates, and the future he promised was what the old man and I needed... Ah, the one that traps all the greedy... Eternal life. β
Drinking wine, Miss Blade laughed self-deprecatingly:
"Catherine, Catherine, you're a greedy bastard in your bones!"
"But... Who isn't? β
"Bang Bang"
A low knock sounded in the dimly lit office, and a moment later, a hoarse voice responded:
"Come in!"
"Huh"
The door was pushed open, and the Shadow of the Deputy Director of the Darkblade Intelligence Bureau, a Level 9 Agent in black uniform, walked into the dimly lit office with a document, and after smelling the peculiar smell that permeated the dim room, the Shadow's eyes under the white mask became very ugly.
Ignoring the figure leaning back to her in the office chair, she threw the papers on the desk piled with cigarette butts, then walked straight to the window, stretched out her hands, and pulled back the heavy curtains in front of her.
The next moment, an arrow of light poured into the sizable office, and beyond the window, Stormwind's most beautiful sunset hung in the sky, enveloping the increasingly prosperous city with a veil of golden-red light.
"Close it! Damn it! β
However, the shadow's actions drew a wave of rebuke, and the hoarse voice scolded in a tone that contained anger:
"You idiot, don't you know that vampires hate sunlight? Close it! Think about it for me, poor monster, okay? β
"Shut up! Mavi! β
The shadow turned, and she looked behind her, like the most decadent girl, curled up in an office chair in scruffy underwear, and was swallowing clouds and mist in an extremely salted fish posture. Song of Shadows.
The very well-designed black uniform of the best wardener had been thrown to the ground with suspicious bloodstains, and the ornate carpet of the room was littered with casually thrown cigarette butts, even the carpet had been burned with many black holes, and there were many scattered, empty wine bottles, which, judging by the labels, were the best blood wine that Darkblade Munitions had for a senior officer.
And Mavi, who has been transformed into Sarein by the hands of the Great Lord. Shadow Song faced the shadow's scolding, she pursed her eyes, revealing an expression of disgust, she extinguished the cigarette butt in her hand in the ashtray that was already stuffed with cigarette butts, and then stood up casually, moving her arms, not caring about her nakedness. A perfect body exposed to a shadow.
After all, she was wearing only a small tank top and hot pants that could hardly hide the spring sun, and even the neat single ponytail was torn into long white hair, which was messily draped over her smooth pale skin.
Mavi. Song of Shadows was born in the upper elf city of Sulama, she has the blood of the upper elves in her body, she is not a pure Night Elf, so her skin is not the seductive purple of the Night Elves.
"What are you doing here?"
Mavi turned her back to the shadow, casually put her dirty upper body uniform on her body, and asked without looking back:
"What? And what "whimsy" do our "great" lords have? Who does he need me to get rid of for him? Tyrande? Very good... I'm going to kill her. β
"Shut up!"
Shadow grabbed Mavi's arm and dragged her into the bathroom of the office, and very violently ripped Mavi's clothes off, and then pushed her into the bathroom.
Between the rattling hot water, through the frosted bathroom glass, the shadow took off his mask and looked at Mavi indifferently. The naked Mavi also stood on the other side of the glass, staring at her with blood-colored eyes, not caring about the hot blood spurting from the sprinkler head and wetting her body.
"You turned me into a monster like you!"
Marvi's hoarse voice echoed in the bathroom:
"Why don't you let me die? Why don't you let me go completely? You bastard! You didn't say... Do you love me? Is this how you love me? β
"That's the old days, Mavi."
Shadow... No, Nasa looked calmly at her former companion, and she whispered:
"Let me tell you something new, your brother, Garrod, just had his own children yesterday, twins, very sweet children... It's your nephews and nieces, the inheritors of a new generation of the Shadow Song family... Do you know what Garrod named his daughter? β
"He called her, Mavi..."
"Bang"
Mavi. The Song of Shadow's fist slammed into the glass, a shocking crack erupted on the glass, and the decadent Sarein seemed to have re-transformed into the terrible warden at this moment, and the warm drops of water cut down her forehead, giving the lone wolf-like blood-colored eyes a terrifying and astonishing murderous aura, and she herself said in a voice without a trace of fireworks:
"If you dare to touch them... I'm going to kill you all! β
"Everyone!"
