Chapter 1356 The burning is exhausted, and only ashes remain
From the secret study to the Karazan Planetarium, he encountered several groups of ghostly blood bats on the way, which not only lifted Kane's spirits.
It is the instinct of the beast to seek good fortune and avoid evil, otherwise it would have been extinct. Then these ghostly blood bats in front of them are one after another, ignoring the death wails of their kind, most of them because they are domesticated weapons and have long lost their wild animal nature.
That's obviously a good thing for his exploration. Finding the bat keeper should be more useful than guessing all the way.
The curator casts an arcane explosion technique as he walks, instantly casting it without intermission, this tactic is crude but effective, no matter how unpredictable the flight trajectory of the blood bat, how erratic the figure is, and how clever the attack opportunity is, in the end, he will still be hit by the arcane energy that spreads without dead ends, and then he will be brain dead.
This is also a skill of the curator, it can analyze the energy intensity of the blood bat to kill, and then control the power of the arcane explosion at just the strength of killing, just like the electric mosquito swatter that kills mosquitoes can get mosquitoes with only weak electricity.
Kill all the way, how can there be hundreds of them, and then they stop.
Kane likes it.
He knew that under normal circumstances, it should be a quick pass, and the adventurers would fight against the difficult single-plank bridge road and the inexhaustible blood bats, and maybe there would be bloody dramas such as 'I'll break the back' or 'I'll run faster than you'.
But he prefers the drama of 'run what you run, and kill as much as you come', and the curator is very satisfied with the completion of such a small section of the story without his instructions.
Of course, he was satisfied, and most of the people were very dissatisfied.
After the bridge was finished, one of them rushed out, yin and yang, and the pronunciation of each wording was out of tune: "You killed my little cutie, you pay!"
Kane couldn't help frowning as he looked at this big man with five big hairs and three thick, but with a strange demeanor, like a giant baby.
Ugly, or love to be a demon, he can endure these, but he can't bear stupidity. A guy like the one in front of him, who obviously lacks a heart and eye, is not suitable for snooping on the mind, because his consciousness world is too chaotic and nonsensical, and for people with a normal mind, peeping into this kind of consciousness world is purely a torture, and it is difficult to gain anything.
"Send it downstairs. ”
Kane's words decided the fate of the weird man. In fact, by this time, the strange man had already attacked, rushing towards him like a mad bull, and he seemed to be powerful.
But with a flick of the curator's hands on his chest, he established an arcane energy force field, easily dissolving the strange man's momentum, and before it could make a new move, the curator swung his hands to the side, and the energy force field wrapped the strange man and flew away from the bridge.
As the energy dissipated, the strange man flew towards the bottom of the tower. The bottom of the tower is more than 300 meters away from here, which is enough for the strange man to say a complete sentence, and his dying words: "Ha, I'm flying!"
After taking out such a guy who ruined the art style, Kane didn't encounter any obstacles and made it to the planetarium without any problems.
Like the rest of the functional area, all the facilities that were originally housed here, including a giant celestial sphere, have been demolished.
But unlike the others, this place is not vacant, but has become a nest for the ghostly blood bats.
Kane naturally noticed those void rifts, the ghostly blood bat is a subspecies of void creatures, and without sufficient shadow energy, it will not be able to grow or even live for a long time.
The planetarium was once guarded by a Void Dragon, which implicitly pointed out the environmental characteristics of the place, but now it is just a fig leaf, or a magic device used to control the energy level of the Void Shadow, and the rift is intuitively exposed, which is not surprising to Kane.
He focused on another detail, and that was what the Spectral Blood Bat ate.
The Void is very barren, which leads to the fact that the real Void creatures often feed on shadow energy, and other substances, like trace elements, can ingest some at intervals, and they can't die if they are deprived for a long time.
But the subspecies is different.
The situation of the subspecies of energy life is better, such as the flesh-and-blood subspecies of the ghostly blood bat, which is equivalent to a ferocious animal deeply infected by shadow energy, and the consumption of blood food is often very large.
Therefore, Kane thinks that from this angle, he can get some clues that he is interested in.
So he noticed the bone fragments scattered in the hall, human and animal, most of them were animals, only the hardest part remained, and the rest were chewed and eaten by the ghostly blood bat, this monster has good teeth, and has molars for grinding.
There was no fresh flesh and blood, and there was a fishy smell and a faint rancid smell wafting through the place. Coupled with the lack of convenient gateways to go out. Kane has reason to believe that the blood bats do not go out to hunt on their own, but are fed every once in a while.
If you can't eat it once, it will spoil if it is piled up there, and like most carnivores, blood bats also like fresh blood food, so spoiled blood food will be disliked by them.
But after all, it will still be eaten, because no matter how unpalatable it is, it is better than eating nothing.
There is also another characteristic of the ghostly blood bat, that is, even if it does not eat, it will bite all the prey to death, which can be described as cruel.
"Sure enough, these things are the property of an organization, and the weirdos are just breeders who can endure loneliness and work hard. ”
Although there are no more discoveries, or further discoveries, this latest speculation has lifted Kane's spirits.
Even if there is no gain from this exploration, he can arrange a puppet servant to sit and wait for the arrival of the person who sends blood food, and then he can dig up the information of this organization.
Now, he no longer expects to rely on this exploration to find out who is closely related to the children of destiny. Just to see who was digging Karazhan's grave, if it was the same boss as the poor cultists in the cellar, or if it was someone else.
From his personal point of view, he felt that these two groups of people should be their own masters, just like the original Black Stone Mountain.
At the height of the excitement of Blackstone Mountain, there were four forces.
At the top is Nefarian, the Black Dragon Prince, the famous Black Wing Lair, and the Black Wing Blood Ring, both under the control of Nefarian and his Black Dragon Legion.
The middle level, the vast area known as the Blackstone Tower, including the upper and lower floors of the Blackstone Tower, was controlled by several orc clans who had been defeated in the Second Human-Beast War. Among them, the Blackstone clan, which was less damaged in the second human-beast war and was more well-organized, was the dominant clan, and they even used troops against the Stone Fort Fortress in Red Ridge Mountain and the North County in Erwin Forest for a time, and achieved certain results.
Then there is the area called the Black Stone Abyss, which is also very large, and it is also the core area of the dungeon where the Black Iron Dwarves have lived for generations, because it is closer to the lava layer, it is easier to access geothermal and geothermal fire resources, and carry out production such as casting and forging.
At the bottom, there is the Molten Heart, which uses the lava cavern region as the main environmental area, and its extremely hot environmental characteristics make this area very conducive to connecting to the fire elemental plane. The Black Iron Dwarven King Thorison summoned the Fire King Ragnaros here, and as a result, Ragnaros was freed, and the Burning Plains and Scorching Canyons were formed, and the Red Ridge Mountains and the Barren Lands were affected to varying degrees.
After that, it is easier to invite the gods than to send the gods, and Ragnaros is still relatively satisfied with this window area connecting the world of Azeroth.
With the passage of time, these four forces have fought and cooperated, all in all, the stage is not big, but the drama is very large.
Kane felt that the current Karazan had a tendency to develop towards the second Blackstone Mountain, and he would not worry about attracting people to settle in because of the external environment where the mountain was high and the emperor was far away, and the extraordinary energy was active, and the building was empty and had withstood the test of many magic powers.
He didn't know if this would be a foreshadowing of the events that the Child of Destiny would go through, and if it was, it would be a foreshadowing of the order. But he pondered that if it was an uninvited sharing model, then he might as well bury a chess piece, so that there would be one more entry point in the future, and it would not be obtrusive.
Of course, you have to get the right balance. For example, be a hermit who has a sense of existence, but lives in a simple place, and as long as others don't provoke him, he will be harmless to others.
Walking leisurely, I came to the chess hall before I knew it.
Karazan's chess hall always reminds Kane of the chess hall of Hogwarts Castle in the HP universe, which is the Philosopher's Stone chapter, the pass of the Iron Triangle Pathway that needs to control giant chess pieces.
It's just that Karazhan's chess hall is more magical, and it is an alliance against the Horde, or more precisely, the United Kingdom of Humanity, against the Burning Legion as the leader behind the tribal clan union. Therefore, the chess pieces on the alliance side do not have the dwarves, night elves and other allied races, while the tribe side has demons to help.
However, the level function here is a thing of the past. During the Return of the Legion, the Atlas Passage was further spread by the Burning Legion, causing the distortion and collapse of the Karazhan Top Sector to become more severe.
If the original top area was the mezzanine area located in the world of Azeroth and the other dimension, then after the return of the legion, the part represented by the top platform simply went to the other dimension, and the chess hall replaced the original top platform as the representative of the new otherworldly passage.
Specifically, nearly two-thirds of its area has formed a deep cavern of floating debris whirlpools, and the characteristics of the channel are significantly more visualized than before.
However, such channel characteristics are largely achieved by human technical intervention. In order to be more stable and facilitate the circulation of the two worlds.
And with the bankruptcy of the Legion's related plans, the passage has also collapsed, becoming a dangerous area where even the strong can be pitted to death.
What Kane saw was such a top-floor area, there was no roof, and even the chess hall was only the entrance area, and the original chessboard area was completely replaced by a gray fog.
These are not ordinary fogs, but dimensional fogs that can make people lost in time and space if they fall in.
Both planes and dimensions are born by involving a large number of laws based on the laws of time and space. It's just that the latter is more complex, more independent, and more compelled than the former.
There is a simple way to distinguish between the two, depending on the size of the stool. After all, planes are based on the world, and dimensions are based on the universe. The former is not too big, and the latter is never too small.
Therefore, for an old man like Kane, it only takes a few glances to determine a lot of situations. For example, what is the otherworld, the otherworld, the otherland that Karazhan is connected to?
Kane believes that it should still be a special plane opened up by the Burning Legion.
There are still some of these special planes in the hands of the Burning Legion, and the most well-known is Marton, who was given the key to the door by Illidan and Illidare.
Ordinary travelers will substitute Marton into the ordinary star chart to understand, and understand Marton as a hub that extends in all directions.
In fact, due to the destructive nature and picky eating nature of the Burning Legion, it is understood from the perspective of ordinary star chart concepts, and there are such a hub or several hubs.
It can even be said that if it weren't for the use of extraordinary means, a warship like the Burning Legion would be reluctant to be active in the star system, and interstellar navigation would be a desperate journey, let alone intergalactic navigation.
And their extraordinary means of navigation is the leap in different space. It is similar to the purpose of folding the spatial distance between two places through high dimensionality.
But the Burning Legion doesn't have a dimensional existence, which requires creator-level technology and unique information to stand the flagpole and ensure independence.
But the Burning Legion can create planes. Because they have Sargeras.
The Titans of the Pantheon have the ability to create planes. They even passed on this ability to the Guardians.
Guardian Lydon and Hela, who was later tricked by Guardian Odin and became Queen of the Underworld, are both Titans who worked together to create the four elemental planes of Azeroth.
And Lydon has served as a jailer for many years. Although the remains of Ajisha were his main tending task, he was a chaotic man by nature, and later became the king of the four elements of Azeroth, the native native of Azeroth, who became the minion of the Elder God, and was also his prisoner for a long time.
From the information in this prophet's memory, it is not difficult to see that creating a plane is really not a difficult task for the Titans.
However, the plane is based on the world, which means that the jump that relies on the plane is nothing more than a game of checkers after all, rather than a transition mode of 'starting point-high-dimensional-end'. Hence the term 'expedition'.
The Burning Expedition, especially the situation within the Burning Legion, the hanging point of the giants, and the background of something going on, no new plane was born, and the road to conquest did become a little long.
As the saying goes, hemp rope is always broken in thin parts. The supply line is long, it is easy to make mistakes, and there is no way to rescue in case of emergency, and this is how Marton was obtained by Illidan.
Marton looks like a massive bare rock in space, surrounded by a lot of rock chips and evil energy, but it's not actually somewhere in the ordinary deep space of the universe.
Or, in other words, in a normal universe, you can't see the space wonders that Marton can see. It was the boundary of the plane, and it had extraordinary properties that could not be accessed by ordinary methods, nor could it be entered.
And what Karazan is connected to is a special plane like Marton.
Among its peculiarities is the fact that it is not yet fully formed.
Maybe it will never take shape.
After all, Azeroth has been governed for a long time by the Titans and the tool people they left behind, and it is not something that can be added if you want to add a plane, it is not that simple.
But after all, it is a little investment and a lot of financial resources, and it always sees some results, so there is a wound that this Burning Legion can use appropriately.
Kane has little interest in this kind of 'unfinished building'. In his opinion, instead of tinkering with the rotten foundation, it is better to simply tear it down and start over, and do it yourself throughout the whole process.
Of course, the main tone of his coming to the Warcraft universe is not to push the universe horizontally after farming, and the Asgard Ecological Boat is just a habit of giving himself the entire camp. And picking up the leaks in Azeroth, developing forces, or helping to fill holes, is not in his plan.
Now that he saw no sign of the place being repurposed, he was a little disappointed that it was a mess that was worse than he had expected.
This is also a line, and the best development model for this line is about a combination of inside and outside, and the current situation means that there is no remnant of the Burning Legion to cooperate with the opportunists or dark believers to start this project, which is basically not a head.
Like the sad urge in the wine cellar, there is no passion, the project has no money, at least in the short term, it is impossible to make any big moves, as for the long term, the night is long and dreamy, brothers, in this era, it is no longer than the beginning, the kingdom official is not a dry meal, especially not the kind of era background where the beacon is everywhere, the movement is seen in the eyes, and the dark cause is not so easy to do.
All in all, Kane's trip to Karazan was a bit of a success. Personally, he really wanted to fight the number one chaotic evil camp in the Warcraft universe.
After all, for him, this involves feelings, brings deep suffering to the Warcraft universe, and even the Burning Legion, which plays the number one villain and the final boss in the prequel and official history, is the essence of this universe in his eyes, and is the absolute protagonist, those children of fate who have done many so-called great deeds are just the protagonists in the eyes of mortals, and the choice of the moment is more like a contrast.
"It's a pity...... It was already an empty grave, and the burning was over, leaving only ashes. ”
Kane hung in silence for three seconds at the former otherworldly passage that was turbulent and chaotic enough to kill the legendary powerhouse, and then left without looking back.
The exploration journey is over, and after arranging the future, he is ready to continue watching the bloody drama of the Destiny Four, as for going to the Burning Plains to dig up the roots of Olaf and their roots, it has already begun at this time, and to be honest, there is no substantive progress that will interest him for the time being.
However, when he returned from the chess hall to the fork in the road to the planetarium, he encountered a group of people wearing black wide robes and large, deep hoods.
Kane suddenly perked up, and said with some joy: "Yo, it's a shirt!"
In fact, it's not true, his appearance at this time is a Jedi knight outfit, the inside is a tight and neat samurai costume variant, and the outside is a combination of a cloak and a big coat, from the inside to the outside is a typical retro style dress that integrates the modern design concept, which is very eye-catching.
And the dress of the person in front of him is not so particular, it can be said that the wide robe with big sleeves and deep hood is already a good description, and the bad thing is that it is like a sack, loose and sloppy, and sloppy.
Fortunately, there are extraordinary energy and glowing magic weapon pendants and weapon decorations, which can be regarded as maintaining the basic mystery.
"Hey, did you destroy our Spectre Blood Bats?" and what about your accomplices?" the leader of the gang shouted at Kane with a broken gong in his voice, and his tone was very arrogant.
Kane suddenly felt tired, not only to the person in front of him, but also to the face-slapping drama that was scheduled to happen under normal circumstances.
So he simply skipped the part of spraying each other, and said very bluntly: "If you can win my followers, you are allowed to stand and talk, otherwise...... Just kneel and beg for your life. ”
