Chapter 1353 Living in the Present Mo Duo Thought
The taste of the fruit of victory always appears luscious. As Yakali defeated Poole through the Explosives, the undead forces that secretly entrenched themselves in the Garden of Tranquility failed due to the loss of their absolute master, who was also the brains of the team.
Olaf is bold, while Sacco is smart and knows how to think backwards.
With these two people there, the gang of four dared to stay in the quiet garden.
Olaf even played a bad bluff at the behest of Grandpa Ring, and successfully stabilized the half-stupid staff.
In Kane's eyes, these staff in the Garden of Tranquility are the highest embodiment of Poole's mastery of technology, alchemy potion + confusion control skills + curse spells, plus enough patience, to have this kind of living puppet that retains the original personality to a large extent, but loses the ability to innovate independently.
However, Olaf and the others are cows chewing peonies, and they don't know or care about these details. They just recognized that 'the people here have been completely controlled by Poole and are complicit in it', and then they give orders with peace of mind, after all, authority is also a kind of fruit of victory.
Kane reckoned that Olaf's ring grandfather should know the value of a living puppet. It is even possible that the mastermind behind the dark art of Poole is of the same line as this ring grandfather.
After all, the original owner of the treasure trove was the Dark Knight, and the Dark Knight was the Dark Titan Sargeras's minions who were trained to help him collect items when he took away Medivan. The technology it uses is naturally the Burning Legion series.
The darkness of the Garden of Tranquility was mostly born under the influence of Karazhin's evil leylines, and it is also very likely that the mastermind behind the deal with Poole is the remnant of Karazan.
Isn't this connected?
Of course, the internal struggles of the Burning Legion have always been brutal, and the tolerance rate of superiors for subordinates who have failed has always been low, which often leads to the closer the relationship, the deeper the resentment. Maybe the old man of the ring is left with a remnant soul in the magic container, and it is his colleagues who have harmed him.
Anyway, Olaf and they stayed in the Garden of Tranquility for the time being.
After all, before you know it, it's nearly dusk again.
They didn't eat well yesterday's dinner because of the traffickers' malicious stalking, and although they suffered some simple dry food for a long time, they were not hungry or in the mood to eat when they were hunted down, and then they were soaked in water during the swim because their bags were not tight enough and the packaging of the dry food itself was not proper.
This time, there wasn't Chef Kane cooking a delicious supper for them in the middle of the night.
After spending a night on physical strength and mental energy, I didn't eat breakfast, and I couldn't eat lunch because I fell into Poole's black pit because I threw myself into the net, and I was in high spirits after killing Poole, plus the life energy nourishment when Yakali burst the seed, I didn't feel hungry for a while.
But even if the nutrients brought by food can be replaced by extraordinary powers, it requires a unique technique, or a transformation process, like the amplification technique used with Kane's cooking.
So Olaf, who had slackened, found themselves tired and hungry, and wanted to swallow a cow at once, and then fall asleep.
What's more, the encounter for two consecutive days really made Olaf and them afraid of this 'night walk', which is estimated to have caused a permanent psychological shadow.
So he would rather stay in the devil's cave at night than leave.
What made them depressed was that the live puppets were not eating normal people's food at all, and they didn't dare to touch the big dogs that Poole was feeding. Poole died, but the big dogs didn't have any special emotions, they were still gloomy, making people feel panicked just by looking at them, and they didn't need to be reminded by the old man of the ring, Olaf and they felt that something was wrong.
Finally, I found some old corn in the corner of the storeroom, cooked a pot of corn porridge, and devoured it, so that I could suppress my hunger. Even Yakali, who woke up, ate an extra bowl than usual.
Then, inevitably, there was talk of Kane's cooking. Groom even irresponsibly messed up, saying that when he had free time, he also had to learn how to cook well, so that he would not be wronged anywhere.
From the food to the people quickly, Sacco smiled and said to Grum: "You kid, you said that you were going to be on duty all night, but in the morning you sat there and slept until your nose bubbled. I knew that I couldn't hold on, so I might as well put down my body and sleep, and I could sleep more comfortably. ”
Groom, under Sacco's name, is still good-tempered. And now that he wants to hug Sacco's thighs more and more, he naturally won't get angry because of this, not to mention that Sacco is obviously joking, and he doesn't mean to blame.
So Groom frankly admitted that he had overestimated his will, and fell asleep before he knew it.
Olaf took over: "Well, it's Blox, who prepared breakfast for everyone, silently watching the night for everyone. ”
"I think such a fellow race should be closer when there is a chance. "Money is a man's confidence, not to mention that Sacco now has Poole's magic book in his private possession, and in his mind, his future self is promising. So the master helps the world, and even the ideas are a lot more proud.
Olaf didn't answer this time. He had long felt that Kane had a good character, and it was not easy. But it is precisely because of this, at least at this stage, that he is unwilling to be too close to Kane, after all, with his current situation, he is suspected of using the other party and cheating the other party. Even if the other party doesn't care, he can't get over the hurdle in his heart, which can be regarded as a kind of self-esteem, and he doesn't want to cause trouble to others.
Like this trip to the twilight forest, he originally planned to go on the road alone, but it was Sacco who knew him too well, insisted on helping, and talked about how important it was to have someone to take care of each other, and how convenient it was to have a car, so he agreed.
As for Groom and Yakali, they were added temporarily. The reason is that the father of the two wants to marry Yakali to a human official with a dead wife.
Grum snuffed Yakali into running away and told Sacco what had happened.
Sacco naturally didn't want his favorite girl to marry a middle-aged human greasy man with a Mediterranean hairstyle who didn't have a very good reputation.
So I helped and persuaded him, saying that he would go out for a walk and broaden his horizons, and maybe things would turn around.
In fact, he plans to take the opportunity to cultivate a relationship with his sister-in-law, and if he can take the opportunity to finalize the relationship between the two, he will take his sister to meet his parents directly when he turns around, and let his father help preside over justice.
Sacco didn't hide this from Olaf either. It can be regarded as an opportunity to tell Olaf about his attitude towards Yakali.
Don't say that he doesn't have the heart to fall in love because of family matters, even if nothing happens at home, and the best buddy likes a girl, he should help make it happen.
However, the girl has her own ideas and preferences. Perhaps because her father was incompetent and lacked fatherly love when she was young, Yakali preferred a mature man who was as steady as a mountain.
Olaf is this one, after the accident at home, he has matured more and more rapidly, and he has a little more melancholy temperament, plus his appearance is not bad, burly, thick eyebrows and big eyes, very manly, this is almost the perfect boyfriend in Yakali's imagination.
Therefore, after knowing that Olaf would also be a companion on this hike, Yakali directly lost the image of the good girl next door that she had cultivated for more than ten years and ran away.
In Kane's eyes, this is a very young gang full of problems. Generally speaking, a trip carried out by such a small group is often more bitter than laughing, and the problems they carry are intertwined with various practical problems when they go out, and in the end most of them are unhappy, and even greatly affect the feelings between each other.
But Yunwang's Sons of Destiny gang completely responded to the saying 'a way out, only when you go out can there be a way'. Although it has gone through hardships, it can even be said to be very dangerous, and it has not been completely shaken off until now, but the harvest is also great.
The benefits of financial independence alone are enough to make the four of them look forward to the future. In a good mood, even with a lot of magnanimity, the four of them talked and laughed, discussed how to be on duty, in order to ensure the quality of the night, but also came up with some head cantilevers, taper stabbing stocks, non-stop tricks.
Kane's thoughts on this were: "It's a bad night, but you're on the wrong track. ”
It is indeed a mistake in the direction, the gang led by Luo Quanjiao, with their professional sensitivity, knows more or less about the Quiet Garden, so if they know that Olaf and they finally settled in the Quiet Garden, they may not rush straight to kill with the people, especially at night, they will definitely not come.
As a lurking dark force, the puppet characteristics of the Garden of Tranquility are that once the leader dies, he loses everything. And Olaf and they happened to complete the decapitation by mistake, so naturally there would be no problem. At least there will be no problems for a day or two.
The problem is not external, but themselves.
Take the initiative to ask like Kozan on duty, he will definitely not worry about his dozing off affecting the quality of the night, there is Poole's dark magic book to read, he is very excited, where will he doze off?
Speaking of Olaf, after experiencing the explosion of Yakali, the old grandfather of the ring, Charon, may have to take precautions, lest Olaf be affected by the life force of the Titan system and embark on other types of transcendent paths, which will bankrupt his cultivation plan.
And Yakali, the rune tree species is not a simple excitation energy releaser, exclusive transformation is its core label. Since Yakali's mental power has surged violently through stimulation, and the need to open the rune tree species has been met, the transformation will be officially put on the agenda.
Judging by Kane's experience, this first night was quite difficult.
As for Grum, Poole's remnant soul will let him go? Tonight will be Grum's ghost gate, and if he can't get through, the best outcome will be to say 'we are one' to Poole.
So this night for the four of them, the problem is internal, and each has its own difficulties and dangers.
Kane himself was already more than 100 kilometers away in the upwind trail area.
He had come from the evil leylines. The quiet garden didn't find any clues of the mastermind behind the scenes, but the reason for the blackening of the environment was, as he expected, that was something wrong with the leyline, so he followed the vein all the way to find it.
Then there was no accident to find the cause of the leyline anomaly.
Karazhan.
The building, in itself, can be seen as a large, energy-converting magnetic needle.
When Sargeras took possession of Medivan's body, he made such a thing, according to Kane's analysis, mainly for the function of his evil mage tower.
After all, after the actions of the Pantheon Titans back then, and the tireless governance of the guardians left behind by them for many years, the degree of order in Azeroth is still very high.
This kind of order, one of the major benchmarks, is the orderliness of extraordinary energy.
This order, with its natural characteristics, is like the origin of the world, where a large amount of methane, carbon dioxide, nitrogen and other elements are buried under the permafrost of Siberia. The Titans also created an environment of life paradise through planetary level combing, governance, and management.
However, in Kane's opinion, the Titans have gone too far, so too many intelligent races have been born, and if you count the subspecies, it will be even more.
Of course, there is also the credit of the ancient gods. It is convenient for them to confuse and create population conflicts, so as to consume Azeroth's extraordinary power on a macro scale, and help them break the seal cage in detail.
It is precisely because of the order that Sargeras, who occupies Medivan's body, wants to do research or something, and it is not easy to lead the fundraising.
So Karazan is actually a large mage tower that is different from the style of the indigenous mage tower.
Most professionals are attracted by the extravagance of the decorative display of Karazhan's interior, the unbelievably proportioned folding space, and the heterospatial passage at the top.
Kane, who has always focused on energy, believes that the humble underground part is the essence of Karazhan's technology.
The Confederacy who had captured Karazhan did not ignore the underground part of Karazhin. They call it a dark place of heinous incriminating evidence.
In fact, to be specific, the underground part of Karazan is divided into three categories.
Like Kane said when he first arrived along the leylines, it was the karst cave type in it.
Kane prefers to call it the Dark Regions.
This statement naturally comes from the DND system, such as the dark region of the famous Torel World Faren Continent.
The dark area refers to the abundant and self-contained underground ecosystem.
The one below Karazan, although it is not as dark as the dark region of Faerun, but the deep rock continent where the stone mother Serazane is located, is not far behind, but it is not so empty, but it is composed of large and small caves, underground halls, vaults, tunnels, earth rivers and other connections.
This is a part that has not been discovered by those who have attacked Karazhan in the past. Sargeras didn't even tell his men that there was such an area to exploit.
I guess I think of it as a unique backhand. After all, he led the Burning Legion, and he was never known for the loyalty and unity of his members.
And it was not discovered by the ancient gods. It's a small miracle. After all, the Elder Gods have been entrenched in Azeroth for a long time, even if they are bound to the sealing cage most of the time, and continue to reduce their personnel in the later period, there is still enough time to complete the survey of the entire Azeroth.
As for the current omission, Kane estimated, because the Elder Gods wanted to use the power of the Burning Legion to break the seals that bound them, so places like Karazan and the Tomb of Sargeras, which were obviously conducive to the Burning Legion to establish a bridgehead, took the initiative to let go, so as not to just go to the Burning Legion, even if the Burning Legion could not let go of the Azeroth tribes because of the importance they attached to, it would be a huge loss to the Elder Gods.
Those who lack ability can't find it, and those who have the ability to find it don't touch it because of the reason, and the result is to raise a first-class evil energy garden.
Kane naturally wouldn't let go of this ownerless ripe fruit, but he wasn't in a hurry to keep exploring.
Then I got to see the second type of underground part of Karazhan, the underground dungeon.
This is a detailed description of what makes the average person feel very uncomfortable.
Although it has been cleaned up, Kane is still able to fill in the complete footage in his mind through a large amount of residual information.
Evil energy requires a high quality and high amount of spiritual power to harness. Even the members of the Burning Legion of the Mixed Universe couldn't afford to play, but they managed to solve the problem on their own. That is with the help of external forces.
Due to their many encounters with the Burning Legion, even the natives of Azeroth know that many of the Burning Legion's devices are soul-fueled.
To be nitpicky, this statement is actually not accurate.
Fuel is evil energy, and it is the soul power that controls the evil energy, referred to as spiritual power, soul power, or spiritual energy.
That's why there are specific equipment such as soul engines, and the Azeroths, who don't know the truth, think that the Burning Legion uses psionic energy as fuel, and they don't want to think about what the Burning Legion can use if that's the case. The amount is not large, and the divisions are uneven, how can this energy become the main energy source to promote the growth and development of the force?
In order to squeeze the psionic energy as much as possible, torture was used. The structure of the so-called Soul Engine is quite similar to the principle of nuclear power in the Origin World.
Nuclear power is to push the fuel column into the reactor for reaction, and the soul engine is to use the soul as a nuclear fuel column, push it into the magic circle, and forcibly fuse.
The soul instinctively resists this fusion, so it bursts into powerful psionic energy, and the energy is produced. When the soul itself is completely squeezed out of energy, the soul residue can still feed the legion hounds or something, so that they can better control the evil energy and play the role of minions well.
Therefore, the Burning Legion's invasion of various living planets is a necessity.
There is a saying in Kane's hometown, which says: How many evil deeds are in the name of justice, and how many persecutions are in the name of protection.
It is said that Sargeras engaged in the Burning Legion because he thought that the Void Lord, who was desperately hungry and tried to devour the physical universe, was too powerful to resist the Pantheon Titans' method of order.
Sargeras said that if the enemy is treacherous, we will be more treacherous than them, and if the enemy is vicious, we will be more vicious than them.
Illidan was helpless against the Black Duck Fortress that was about to fall to the Burning Legion, so he said the same thing after he squeezed out the other Arcanists to gain unprecedented power and defeat the invading enemy.
The Great Filial Son, Alsace, said the same thing when he played the killing contest in Stratholme.
Choosing to sacrifice a few people for the sake of the big picture, but there are two points that are most criticized here.
The first point, those who are sacrificed, are represented.
The second point is that once there is a repetition, and eventually it becomes a habit.
The Burning Legion is a little accustomed to this kind of sacrifice of others, and gradually deteriorates. Guardianship has become a high-sounding excuse for the demons, and the natives who resist are scolded at every turn for being short-sighted, selfish, and ignorant of righteousness. One is that we are guarding the entire universe, and sacrificing only a few planets is nothing.
But in fact, the harm they caused was more severe than that of the Void Lord, and what was even more ironic was that the protection of the Burning Legion was not successful, from the birth of the Burning Legion to the verge of disbandment, the Void Lord never stopped.
