32. Secret Talk (Part 1) - Brother Nie Next Door [7/16]
Queen Azshara did not leave in the end.
These two keywords, N'zoth and freedom, finally overwhelmed the anger and fear in the Queen's heart. She was not a fool. Even though she was unbearably arrogant, it still could not erase the Queen's amazing wisdom.
This also verifies the fact that it seems that nothing in the world can escape the terrifying law of true fragrance, even in another mysterious dimension.
"This place is close to the maelstrom. Under the maelstrom, it is connected to the earth elemental realm of the elemental realm, which is the Deep Rock Continent. It is now ruled by another force. N'Zoth's all-pervasive thinking cannot approach here."
Elisande stood on the edge of the island. She looked at the majestic and terrifying whirlpool in the distance. It was the last proof that the Well of Eternity explosion left in the world. It was a deep-sea whirlpool as big as a giant city.
The water in the entire Endless Sea seems to gather here, rushing into the hole connected to the elemental realm in a whirlpool-like manner. Every second, hundreds of millions of tons of seawater roar down the river.
Those seawaters will enter the elemental realm, but not the earth elemental realm. Instead, they will enter the water elemental realm in extremely weird forms, and then return to the water elemental realm again through several large sea eyes under the deep sea that are one-way connected to the water elemental realm.
Come to Azeroth.
This weird transformation system fills the sea of Azeroth with the power of the water element, and thus breeds many weird sea life forms, such as the legendary whale shark. This underwater giant is said to be able to survive
The maelstrom enters the elemental world of water, survives and reproduces in that elemental world, and then returns to the living world through the Eye of the Sea.
In short, the secrets hidden in the endless sea are unimaginable by ordinary people. The life on the land claims to be the master of the world, but in fact they are not... The life in the sea, both in quantity and type, far exceeds that on the land. This
The endless sea is the true cradle of life in Azeroth.
"N'Zoth is also afraid of the power that is about to come to this world. It knows that this period of time is its last chance. If it cannot use this period of time to complete the mission of the ancient gods, then it will have to meet its
, is the most tragic death...destruction of body and spirit!"
Elisande faced the icy sea breeze, and amid the loud noise of the collision of water in the large whirlpool, her strange male voice came clearly to the ears of Queen Azshara:
"You feel it too, right? N'Zoth is ready to jump over the wall... It is gathering its power across the entire world, and it is going to make a desperate move."
"so what?"
Queen Azshara maintained the perfect form of the upper elf. She stood on the other end of the narrow reef with her hands on her hips. She snorted and asked:
"What you and the dark power you say want to kill is N'Zoth. What does this have to do with me, Azshara? I am not its subordinate, understand this!"
"The relationship between N'Zos and me is just a cooperative relationship!"
"It does matter!"
The high lord controlled Elisande's body to turn around. He looked at the Naga Queen in front of him with his ice-blue eyes and said:
"And it's a very fatal relationship. Let me explain it to you, woman."
"The Dark Pantheon has taken root in this world, and Deathwing, or Dragon, is their spokesperson, but the Fallen Titan knows that relying only on Deathwing and those earth elements cannot accomplish anything, so
He will inevitably come to this world in person at some point in the future... And the fallen titan Aggrama, before he fell, was the defender of the Pantheon. He hates evil and sticks to the order of the stars. For the void
The creature hates it to the core.”
"After the fall, the defender Aggramar inherited the cold will of the dark titan Sargeras. Void creatures are a scourge that must be eliminated, and those creatures contaminated with the power of the void are also cancerous changes in the world. They will eliminate them easily.
Drop those...yes, I'm talking about you!"
Tyrion laughed heartlessly and said:
"You can tell me that you and N'Zoth are in a cooperative relationship, but that won't change anything, Azshara, because the Fallen Titan won't listen to your explanation. After he kills N'Zoth, the next one will die in his flames.
What is under the sword is you and your Nagas who have been shaped by the power of flesh and blood, the deep sea empire that you have worked so hard to rebuild for ten thousand years...all of it."
The high lord controlled Elisande's hand and made a slashing gesture. He said:
"You can't even stop my Dark Blade army, and you can't even stop the destructive power of the Fallen Titan. You will die, Azshara, without even a chance to return to hell, and your empire will collapse, and everything will
It's all because of the deal you made with N'Zoth ten thousand years ago... Of course, you can think that I'm trying to intimidate you and my warning as a nonsense fantasy, but the problem is..."
"Do you dare to bet on something like this that concerns the future of you and your empire?"
Azshara bit her lip, trying to refute this statement, but she finally found that she seemed to have nothing to say.
She is one of the few beings in the world of Azeroth who has actually seen the dark titan Sargeras. She knows better than anyone else how terrifying the power of a titan is, and what the big lord said is not a lie to her.
, Azshara sits in the Deep Sea Empire, and she has her own intelligence agency. She knows that in Deep Rock Continent, Deathwing's War Dragon Legion and Stonemother Therazane have indeed reached an alliance.
And N'Zoth's recent abnormal agitation seems to have confirmed the warning of the great lord, and it is not groundless.
But her dignity as a queen made her unwilling to bow her head just like that. She looked at Elisande in front of her and the cold soul in her body, she gritted her teeth and said:
"So what? Even if the Fallen Titan really comes and destroys the Deep Sea Empire, this world will be destroyed next! The world you carefully planned and the civilizations you protected will all die!"
"They will die after you, Azshara!"
The great lord said expressionlessly:
"What's more, are you sure that I don't have a way to deal with the fallen titan? Listen to me, I came here in this shameful posture, not to argue with you, Azshara, I am here to make suggestions."
"At the end of the last meeting, I told you that if boars and bugs can have their own kingdoms and stand upright in the world, then why does Naga continue to be a sewer rat, hiding in the dark?
He is planning a despicable conspiracy...I am here to give you a chance, I bring you a hope, Azshara."
Elisande stretched out a finger, shook it in the air, and persuaded in the gentle yet domineering tone that was the signature of the great lord:
"Consider carefully and answer carefully...the life or death of you and your kingdom depends on your answer."
"Oh!"
The Queen sneered:
"You mean, you are our only savior? Tyrion."
"Am I not?"
The great lord's reply was also very simple, but the queen was choked and speechless.
The atmosphere on this narrow reef has become stagnant. If the great lord's deduction is followed, he is indeed the only choice left to the Naga Empire.
Azshara will not be stupid enough to seek refuge with the Dark Pantheon. Her body reshaped by N'Zoth's flesh and blood contains the power of the void that cannot be eliminated. She is already half a void creature. Even if she wants to sell herself and join Deathwing,
There is no courage to accept the Nagas. The only meaning of the existence of the Dark Pantheon is to fight against the void. Beings like Azshara who voluntarily make deals with the void are simply treasonous bastards in the eyes of the servants of the Dark Pantheon.
Just like shameless traitors are always more disgusting than insidious enemies.
"I don't believe you!"
After Queen Azshara thought for a few minutes, she said to the high lord:
"But I seem to have no other choice. You guessed it right. There is indeed some "little" friction between me and N'Zoth. If I can successfully get rid of that madman in the void and preserve my empire, then I won't
Mind cooperating with you, Tyrion... Just cooperating! Don't want me to kneel down to you!"
"Well, let's call it cooperation."
The high lord controlled Elisande's body and shrugged. He finally saw Azshara's true character. Even after her will and soul were distorted, the queen of the highborne, the most powerful person in Azeroth,
Women still have the same arrogant character as other women.
Elisande's body leaned back, and the water flow quickly reorganized behind her into a throne that exuded cold air. This young lady of the Nightborne stood on the throne as a great lord. He looked at Azshara in front of him.
,he said:
"Then tell me, what has N'Zos asked you to do recently?"
"Don't talk to me in that tone!"
Azshara gritted her teeth and said:
"I'm not your subordinate!"
"All right."
The great lord rubbed his forehead, and then asked again in a dry voice:
"Then, Your Majesty, I beg you to tell me, what has N'Zoth asked the Supreme Being to do recently?"
"That's pretty much it."
Her Majesty the Queen of the Naga Empire nodded with some satisfaction and said to the great lord:
"Tone more sincerely next time..."
"N'Zoth's abnormality began when C'Thun died. In the thousands of years before that, it had been "quiet", as if sleeping honestly in Ny'alotha.
Occasionally, I will ask my subordinates to search for some weird and mysterious objects for it throughout the world. It can be seen that it is trying to unlock the seals of the Titan Guardians, but has been achieving little success."
Azshara waved her fingers, and the beating water waves formed behind her body a flowing throne that was more gorgeous and noble than the throne of the great lord. The queen sat on the ever-flowing throne, and she said to the great lord:
"It is the weakest of all the Old Gods, and it has never hidden it, but N'Zoth is the most cunning, it hides the deepest, and gains power by infecting the Dream of the World, I can feel it,
From the moment the nightmare was born in the dream 4,500 years ago, N'Zoth's power began to recover. Today, the ancient god may have returned to its full glory, but it still chooses to hide in the darkness."
"The successive deaths of C'Thun and Yogg-Saron stimulated N'Zoth, and its activities began to become more frequent. In the past four years, my Nagas have attacked the borders of the entire world, but I
To say...that's not my will, do you understand? There are abundant resources in the deep sea, and I don't need my soldiers to plunder for me on land at all. That is N'Zoth's will."
"The Ancient God has never been so active in searching for a way to escape the seal, and now, it is almost found!"
Azshara casually revealed a big secret, which made the great lord raise his eyebrows. Tyrion whispered:
"So, Your Majesty the Queen, are you saying that N'Zoth has found a way to get rid of the seal?"
"I think I've found it, but I'm not entirely sure."
Queen Azshara said hesitantly:
"But in recent months, N'Zoth's servants, I mean, the madmen who really serve it, they are secretly looking for something in several places in Kul Tiras and Zandalari, and they don't even use me.
The help of the Nagas proves that what they do is very, very important to their masters, so important that N'zoth is not even willing to believe us."
"I heard a description of what they were looking for through some Naga attendants in Ny'alotha who had not yet lost their minds. It was said that they were three holy objects, one from the storm, one from the sea, and one from the void. But
Another theory is that N'Zoth hopes that its servants will use those three holy objects to set off a huge tsunami that can submerge two continents and purify all creatures that do not obey the will of the void, so as to welcome N'Zoth's resurrection."
"Um."
The high lord nodded. The information provided by Azshara is very valuable. No matter how powerful the Dark Blade Intelligence Bureau is, it will be difficult to send spies to Ny'alotha hidden deep in the sea, let alone where it is.
The environment that exists in that sleeping city is composed of N'Zoth's most loyal servants and the craziest group of cultists. No matter how powerful the spies are, it is impossible to keep their will and wakefulness in that environment.
"So based on your knowledge? Which statement do you think is more likely?"
The high lord asked another question, but Queen Azshara showed a sarcastic smile at this moment:
"Possibility? No! The cultists don't have this word in their minds. If you ask me, I prefer to believe that they intend to accomplish these two goals at once."
"On the one hand, he unlocked the seal for N'Zoth and opened the door to the real world. On the other hand, he set off a tsunami covering the world, destroying the order of the world and bringing chaos. At the same time, he also found enough "food" for their owners.
...The souls of those drowned people have been sealed away by the ancient gods for hundreds of thousands of years. Their hunger for souls is unimaginable."
At this point, Queen Azshara lowered her voice and said:
"Moreover, N'Zoth sent its envoy to see me a few days ago. It hoped that I could gather the Naga army to launch an unprecedented invasion of land civilization. I thought it was just the restless
The Ancient God doesn't want to see the stability of order, and wants to do something, but combined with the news you gave me, this once again proves your idea... N'Zoth doesn't want to wait any longer!"
"Under the threat of your Dark Blade and the possible arrival of the Dark Pantheon, it is indeed as you said, it is going to make a desperate move, and we, my Naga Empire, will become the re-emergence of that despicable ancient god...
Cannon fodder! Damn it!"
The conclusion put forward by the great lord was repeated by Queen Azshara, which also caused a strange light to appear in the queen's eyes. She sat in silence on her flowing throne, while the great lord shrugged, his ice eyes
The light in his blue eyes slowly dissipated, and he said:
"Now that you know, I believe you will make the right judgment."
"correct?"
Azshara snorted coldly. He looked at Tyrion, who was dressed as a woman in front of him, and she said:
"What is right? Is it right for me to kneel down in front of you? I have already said that I will not surrender to you. You can't control me!"
"No, no, no, Queen Azshara, the light of lights..."
The high lord let out a low and meaningful laugh and said:
"On behalf of the entire Azeroth civilization, I welcome the return of the Deep Sea Empire. That's all. Don't think too much."
