12. Wall of the Sky. Strangulation

Everything that happens in this world is important in the eyes of mortals, whether it is war or peace, it will be closely related to every civilization, but in fact, if you look at the strife of Azeroth from a more abstract higher perspective, it is not difficult to find that everything in this world is so boring.

Thousands of years have passed, but those flesh and blood lives crawling on the ground are still playing stupid tricks.

This is the consensus of almost all elemental beings, of course, this is worth talking about after dinner for those high-level elements who are self-aware and can think, and for those low-level elements, those who don't know how to think, only know how to spend a long life in a muddy way, the high-level elements don't think that they will become their own kind.

You see, even in the elemental world, there are such "class contradictions", of course, the low-level elements will not unite to overthrow those high-level rulers, because there is no need.

Although the elemental beings were defeated by the guardians sent by the Titans a long time ago and banished to the Elemental Realm, this does not mean that the Elementals have completely severed ties with the world of Azeroth, and they are observing the development of civilization in the entire world in a special way, although it is also meaningless for the immortal elementals.

The world of Azeroth has a shamanic heritage, and even before the orcs entered Azeroth, there was no shortage of elemental power users in this land, such as the Hammer Dwarves and Black Iron Dwarves of the Eastern Continent, as well as those Troll Clans, the Minotaurs and Boar People of the Kalimdor Continent, and even the Centaurs, all of whom have respected shamans.

And the power of the shaman comes from the elements... In the life of a shaman, if you want to develop in the way of shamanism, you must conclude an elemental contract, and through the fusion of the soul and the power of the elements, you can better perceive the existence of the elements.

Each Shaman has its own power traits, such as the grumpy dwarves, who are in tune with the fire elemental, and of course, the Black Iron Dwarves are enslaved by the Fire Demon King, so their shamans can only summon the fire elemental.

The peaceful Minotaurs tend to be very compatible with the earth elemental, and the cunning trolls can gain the favor of the wind elemental, and as for the nagas who live under the deep sea, they don't have much choice but the water elemental.

These elements who have made a contract with the shamans will be summoned to the present world for a long time, and the shamans will think that their elements do not have much ability to think, but in fact, they do not know that at some point, some idle high-level elements will observe the changes in the present world through the eyes of these low-level elements who have been summoned to the present world.

And some of these lucky ones, even after unexpectedly satisfying some curiosity of the higher elements, will be "given" power by these generous and neurotic elements... Believe me, sometimes it's not a lucky thing.

In the records of the Minotaurs, hundreds of years ago, there was a talented shaman who was lucky enough to receive the "blessing" of the Earth Element Maharaja, the Stone Mother Serrazane, and the little power thrown by the Stone Mother completely distorted the flesh and blood of the Minotaur and turned him into a real earth element, and the shaman chose to commit suicide in despair...

Therefore, shamans should actually be more rational and cautious when summoning the elements, and they should learn from the warlocks.

It is said that in the current Dalaran, in the book "Introduction to Warlock Spells" formulated by the Black Scythe Council, the talented Grand Karcist Mr. Kel'th Sugard listed a 13-page "safe operation" for junior warlocks to summon demons, and successfully reduced the chance of death for junior warlocks by 33.89%!

Well, but at present, less than one-tenth of the junior warlocks in Dalaran can safely survive the first three years and be promoted to high-level warlocks... Therefore, the risk of this kind of summoning profession is actually very high.

In short, don't underestimate the observation of the world by the higher elementals, they know far more than the stupid shamans of this world think.

And now, the scene that is happening in the Crystal Valley of Silisus is also projected through the eyes of the sneaky storm elements in the sky, far above the sky, in the elemental realm that the earth cannot see... Within the Aeolus Throne of the Wall of Heaven, to be exact.

Suspended in thunderclouds, the Sky Temple is a kingdom of gods that mortals can't imagine, and it's no exaggeration to describe the magnificence of the Sky Wall, for millions of years, under the orders of the Wind Rider Orakil, the Wind Elementals stole many precious and special effects rocks from the Earth Elemental Plane, and then used the power of the wind to shape them into their own wants.

Flying is a very dangerous and exciting thing to fly in the Storm Realm above the sun, where beautiful palaces of white gems and crystals loom in the clouds, and where the stormy land is full of dangerous raging winds and arc lightning... In fact, with the exception of the storm dragons, who were infused with the power of the wind, there were hardly any creatures under this sky who dared to enter this place.

The Aeolus Throne, the most ornate of all the buildings of the Wind Elementals, is divided into suspended platforms of the Four Palaces, each of which has a palace built for the Lords of the Four Winds, and in the center of the ornate palace in the ring is the Sky Throne for Olakir the Wind Rider, of course, Olakir doesn't really like this place... As the most ancient of the winds, it seems to prefer to swim at the ends of the sky.

Already in the Age of Elemental Melee, Orakir was known for his unpredictable will, and despite the fact that the Wind Rider's territory in the Elemental Realm bordered all other elemental realms, and the Sky Wall had more influence over the rest of the elemental realms than any other elemental realm, Olakir was the most withdrawn of all elemental lords.

Its personality is like that of the real wind, and it will often very suddenly cause conflicts with other elements, but many times, it will ignore the invasion of other elements into the wall of sky after a brief conflict, and it is as fickle as the weather.

Such a lord is obviously unable to command the entire wind elemental civilization, so most of the time, the management of the entire Sky Wall is done by the Wind Council composed of four Wind Lords.

And now, because of the reappearance of Sunderland, the Wind Chaser in the present world, the Aeolian Throne, which had been quiet for a long time, resounded with fierce quarrels.

"We thought Sunderland was dead... That Olakire's heir is dead, but... It's still alive..."

Like the bone-chilling wind of the Northlands, the Lord of the North, who was wrapped in endless frost, said in his voice that was cold enough to freeze the world:

"A nuisance... A problem that affects the stability of the Sky Wall... What do you think? My brothers..."

As Nazel's voice fell, a howling cold north wind blew through its palace, covering the already frozen court with a layer of cold frost again, and in the face of its inquiry, another voice sounded in the next moment.

Compared to the cold wind of the Northlands of Nazel, its howling wind is less low, but more irritable, like a typhoon coming at midnight, full of direct destructive power.

"If it should rot in the grave, let it continue to rot..."

The East Wind Lord Roesh uttered his furious voice with his own furious typhoon:

"Kill it! Sunderland can't show up at this time! ”

These Tempest Lords resemble Sunderland's appearance, but they lack crowns, and instead they are quirky felt hats adorned with various colored gems, and as a symbol of the higher elements, the Thinking Tempest Lords have faces that closely resemble flesh creatures, as well as eyes of different colors.

The four lords of the Council of the Four Winds have been in charge of the Sky Wall for hundreds of thousands of years, and if the Wind Elemental's Sky Wall is compared to a country, then the four of them are equivalent to the Council under the King, and they have absolute control over the Sky Wall when the Wind Rider Orakir is not speaking.

But Sunderland, the Wind Chaser, was an unexpected factor.

In the original era of elemental melee, Sunderland was Aurakill's most trusted and powerful general, and it won many victories for Aurakill, so Aurakiel recognized it as his successor, equivalent to the king's crown prince, however, in the battle of domination, Sunderland was ambushed by the Lord of Fire, and since then, there has been no news of Sunderland from the Sky Wall.

All the high-level Wind Elemental Lords thought Sunderland was dead, but now, it has reappeared, and it is a terrible threat to the Council of the Four Winds, which wields power... Don't underestimate the control of elemental creatures, they don't grow old or die, which means that they have a kind of obsession with what they have to the bone, and the elementals will not give up their power, even if it doesn't mean much to them...

"Enough! How could such a rebellious language be spoken in this sacred palace of the winds! ”

A seemingly impartial voice interrupted the murderous discussion between the East Wind Lord and the North Wind Lord, and it responded with a calm wind:

"It's just blasphemy... The Prince of Sunderland has great prestige in the Sky Wall, and you cannot treat it as such, and we must welcome it back with the will of the Wind Rider... But..."

The next moment, there was suddenly a terrifying corrosive force in the calm wind, like a storm mixed with poisonous mist, causing all the flowers and plants in the palace to wither in this lesson.

"But if it doesn't come back... Then it's none of our business..."

The mildest, but also the most insidious, Lord Anshar, raised his arm, and in its life-filled wind, those withered flowers returned to their normal growth early... This weird wind elemental can actually integrate the power of life and death into its own storm, which is really a strange guy.

And Anshar, the cunning Lord of the Zevonius and the current leader of the Council of the Four Winds, is the most powerful Wind Elemental Lord in the Wall of the Sky other than Orakir the Wind Rider... It seems to be mild, but it is the one who least welcomes Sunderland's return.

"Shiamette, the lord of the south wind, who represents the wind of thunder and lightning... You are the youngest of us, and the power you wield is based on flattery... Now, it's up to you to make the fall for the Council of the Four Winds. ”

The grim Lord of the West Wind Anshar's gaze fell on the silent Lord of the South Wind, and the weakest Wind Lord Shiamette, as did the cold and irascible gaze of the other two Wind Lords.

Obviously, the Lord of the South Wind has been given a special mission when it is not willing.

"Go, give the 'welcome' of the wall of the sky to our Prince of Sunderland... Tell it that we, like the Wind Riders, welcome it back to the Sky Wall..."

The storms of the Lord of the West Wind, the Lord of the North Wind, and the Lord of the East Wind converged beneath the Throne of the Four Winds, and under the bombardment of the three winds, a shocking rift appeared between the Elemental Realm and the nodes of the present world.

"Go, Shiamette... Complete your greeting mission! ”

"Go tell Sunderland that it's time for the wind to stop..."

————————————————————————————————-

"Wow"

The whole of Silisus was covered by a sudden layer of dark clouds, as if night was about to fall, and at the end of the cloudy sky, a cloud of blue thunder seemed to indicate that something terrible was about to happen.

The bear children of the Dawnblade family did not notice this, they were all nervously protecting Dornan, who was in the process of an elemental contract, and from Dornan's slightly trembling body, it could be seen that this child was engaged in a difficult battle at the soul level.

This is the last and hardest part of the elemental contract, the elemental will not be subordinated to the weak, you must prove that you are stronger than it.

And above the sky, unnoticed by the children, above the dense clouds, Tyrion, dressed in black swordsman's robes, and his wife, dressed in blood-red chain mail and carrying a war bow, stood on the edge of the exit of the Dead Realm.

Aurelia looked worriedly at the crack that tore through the sky above the clouds in the distance, and she could clearly see that a behemoth of immense power was trying to traverse the elemental realm, and the hostility attached to that creature was almost unperceivable.

"It's coming for my kids..."

Aurelia took the bow from her back with a backhand, and a cold killing intent flashed across her face.

"How dare it..."

And just as the Blood Master Mother was about to shoot a fatal arrow, she was held by her husband's arm, and the great lord's ice-blue eyes looked at the South Wind Lord who was entering the present world in the distance, and he whispered:

"Don't worry... Give the kids some confidence..."

"I'm actually wondering if this high-level elemental creature is a threat, this is an opportunity... Don't worry, my Aurelia, it won't hurt the children. ”

"I promise..."
