Before any disaster occurs, there will be weak signs.
For example, before the bold dwarf archaeologists blew open the doors of the two small chambers, if they carefully observed the runes carved on the black stone doors, it would not be difficult to find that these ancient texts and the texts used by the dwarves today are actually the same.
Somewhat related, a few characters weathered by time in the corners are something they can read.
If you add some personal conjectures, you can reconstruct a complete warning.
"Failed test object destruction room...Danger! Do not touch!"
The rigor of the archaeologists allowed the dwarves to rub all the runes, but their careless character made them put all possible dangers behind them, and the result was...
"Bang"
The dwarf miner holding a mining pickaxe witnessed a complete raid in the darkness. Facing the disgusting monsters that jumped out of the secret room, he subconsciously swung the pickaxe and hit the ugly creatures in front of him on the head.
But the scene he imagined of the monster being pierced through the head with a sharp mining pick did not appear. On the contrary, the shining metal pickaxe hit the monster's forehead, making the same sound as the collision of rocks, and even splashed bright light in the darkness.
With a spark, one-third of the monster's head was smashed open, but there was no blood. On the contrary, the pain of being attacked made these creatures that had been sealed for tens of thousands of years even more violent.
"Ouch!"
It let out a roar, and waved its deformed arms that were longer than its short body. At the end of the arms covered with white manes, the claws that could crack stones severely slapped the dwarf miner on the face.
, accompanied by a scream, a bloody eyeball was directly dug out.
The smell of blood filled the tunnel, and the surviving dwarves were stunned by the rapid attack of these monsters, until one of the guards grabbed a musket and fired a shot in the darkness, using spicy gunpowder and metal bullets to kill one.
The monster's heart was pierced, and the roaring sound seemed to scare these cruel, ugly, bloodthirsty guys like beasts.
They dragged the corpse in the darkness and retreated into the secret room where they were hiding, but the dark red or yellow eyes shining in the darkness shone with naked flesh and blood hunger, as well as the desire for destruction and massacre.
Without any intelligent recruitment, it is difficult to imagine that such a monster would appear in the ruins of an ancient super civilization.
"Run! Run!"
The miner captain hurriedly loaded his fire wall. In his roar, the frightened dwarf miners ran away. Seeing that the prey that could make huge roars showed signs of fleeing, those who hid in the darkness
The ugly monsters let out ugly roars and once again rushed out of the darkness in groups.
They completely jumped out of the cage created for them by their creator, and the fate of these monsters was to stay in this cage until their twisted lives were completely destroyed.
"Shoot! Shoot!"
The frustrated miners, covered in blood, stumbled out of the excavation site. They yelled at the dwarves guarding the excavation site. Before some of the soldiers guarding the mine could understand what was happening, they saw behind the miners.
, those dwarves running at the back were grabbed by the claws of the monsters running in the darkness, and were dragged back into the darkness amidst their miserable wails.
At this time, all the soldiers knew what to do. They set up their muskets and quickly built a defense line outside the excavation site. However, when counting the number of people, the dwarves discovered in despair that they had left the most important guy behind.
Already.
Brian Bronzebeard, the honorary president of the Explorers Association is still in the mine.
"We have to find Brian!"
The soldier captain outside the mine shouted loudly: "Leave him here to die. We will be executed by Magni when we return to Ironforge!"
"Can't get in."
Another archaeologist who had a chance to escape sat down on the ground in disgrace. His left arm was twisted abnormally. It was the result of being hit by the monsters that rushed out of the secret room. His face was covered with blood.
He gasped hard and said:
"Those monsters move faster than us in the dark. It's already hell down there, and those trapped inside are hopeless."
As they spoke, the soldiers saw those monsters trying to break out of the mine, so the muskets they set up opened fire wildly. As bullets flew across the sky, several monsters that could not dodge were shot through their bodies, and the entrance to the mine was immediately flooded.
Away from the smoke and the stench of blood, after the predators hiding in the darkness retreated into the darkness, the dwarf soldiers dragged back the corpses of several monsters.
"It's so ugly!"
The dwarf captain glanced at the corpse at his feet and immediately lost the desire to have lunch. It was a blue-skinned monster. It was curled up taller than the dwarf. Its two arms were deformed and full of muscles. The arms were
His body and ugly head were covered with white manes, but they were not enough to cover his entire body, making him look disgusting.
The ugliest thing is the big face. The head that is disproportionate to the body is almost as big as their belly. The forehead and cheeks are not flesh and blood, but a rock-like substance. The big mouth is full of sharp teeth.
The little eyes that have lost the breath of life are full of malice.
"These monsters are as ugly on the inside as they look on the outside."
The dwarf archaeologist found some weathered dried meat from the rags that covered the monster's body. The white bristles on it represented where the dried meat came from, which made the dwarf want to vomit.
"They actually eat their own compatriots!"
"Now is not the time for research, damn! He's coming out again! Fire! Fire!"
The dwarf soldiers once again poured bullets at the monsters trying to break out of the mine, beating them back into the darkness. The dwarves outside the mine were extremely anxious and wanted to rush out of the mine to find the missing dwarf prince.
At that time, a huge vibration sounded from the underground, which made all the dwarves pay close attention. The noise was like a giant walking, and it was getting closer and closer to the surface.
"Something's coming out!"
The dwarf captain nervously grabbed the musket in his hand and stared at the collapsed entrance to the cave. As a result, the next moment, accompanied by bursts of screams, more than a dozen monsters in the darkness were swept away by huge force.
, almost grazing the heads of the dwarves and being blasted into the barren land behind.
The approaching person, a 7-meter-tall giant with blood-blue blood all over his body, crawled out of the entrance of the mine dug by the dwarves in a prone posture, and the sharp-eyed dwarf soldiers saw him lying there.
The guys on the giantess's shoulders suddenly shouted.
"Brian, that's Brian! He's alive!"
"It's me! Yes, it's me!"
Brian Bronzebeard was in extreme embarrassment. His favorite wide-brimmed hat was long gone, and his clothes were in tatters and covered with dust. He even tore off his underwear and held the things in his arms tightly.
to protect him, and after the originally hostile giantess protected him and climbed out of the mine, Brian roared at the soldiers.
"Blow it up! Blow up this mine! The Troggs are coming out! Hurry!"
The dwarf soldiers, who no longer had any worries, immediately picked up the explosives piled behind them. Amidst the roars of the monsters surging in the darkness, they threw the high explosives handmade by the dwarf masters into the entrance of the mine. Then the sharpshooters
Use a musket to light a fire.
A few minutes later.
"boom"
There was a loud noise that shook the earth. It took several years to dig out the entrance to the ruins of Uldaman. Amidst the roar of gunpowder, it completely collapsed. The huge rocks falling from the sky blocked those who came from the sky.
The path forward of the monsters that rushed out from the underground blocked them underground again.
All the surviving dwarves looked at this scene blankly. After a moment, the weaker ones knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, and those who were strong did not want to speak. Today, the entire Uldaman expedition team plus dozens of miners almost
The whole army was wiped out, and less than one tenth of the people escaped.
The overall number of dwarves is limited, so each clan member is very precious. Today's loss can be called a heavy loss.
"Click"
Just as the dwarves were grieving for the deaths and injuries of their companions, on the desolate land behind them, the body of the giantess, whose whole body was stained with the blood of the troggs, made a muffled sound, and her left arm was like a stone.
It collapsed, as if she had lost all her strength, and she sat on the ground with difficulty. Beside him, Brian Bronzebeard held the thing in his arms tightly and looked at it with a complicated look.
she.
"Great ancestor, you...are you leaving?"
Brian asked in a low voice, and the collapsed giantess shook her head with difficulty:
"The curse of flesh and blood has changed you, and it has also changed me. My body has become fragile after being sealed for thousands of years, but my spirit is still strong. After this body is broken, Brian Bronzan, I need
You take out the core of my thinking. I have heard you talk about your nascent technology. If you can understand the knowledge in Norgannon's disk, you can activate my thinking again."
The sad Brian suddenly became happy, but just when he wanted to speak, the giantess from ancient times spoke again:
"Listen to me, Bronzan. My time is limited, but your current situation is very dangerous. Your reckless actions destroyed the seal that we used to seal the cavemen who failed to evolve. Their self-reproduction rate is far faster than you imagined. You
Still not out of danger..."
"Click"
There was another crisp sound, and the giantess' neck was broken. Her head rolled twice on the ground, and even her voice became intermittent:
"You... go to... Ulduar... the disk... the protoss... go..."
Before she even finished her last sentence, the light in the giantess's eyes completely dissipated. Brian stepped forward and found an almost perfect crystal in the weathered head. He carefully put it with him.
Carrying box.
It was only at this moment that the surrounding dwarves gathered around and commented on this unimaginably beautiful stone carving.
"Who is this? Brian, why would she help you?"
The dwarf captain asked curiously. Brian's mood was a little low. He looked at the things in his arms and whispered:
"She is one of our ancestors... Elonaya, the guardian left by the Titans, the remaining memories in our blood are correct, the dwarves were born with a sacred mission... And now, I find
It’s gone.”
Brian looked back at the mine that had been completely sealed behind him, and he shook his head:
"There is nothing worth remembering here. Let's go back to Ironforge."
——————————————————————————————-
Old Bronzebeard's archaeological discovery shocked the entire Ironforge, but for some reason, His Majesty Magni Bronzebeard ordered that discussion of this matter be prohibited, and no one who went to look for Brian saw Brian at all.
Ryan, the old dwarf locked himself in his room and hasn't seen anyone else for several days.
His mental state was very bad, not just because of the experience between life and death, but because the old dwarf got the knowledge he wanted in the deepest part of Uldaman, but he fell into a kind of pain because of it.
The true face of this world hidden beneath the surface has been revealed to Brann Bronzebeard, but the more he learns, the less happy he becomes.
At this time, in Brian's room, he was carefully placing a white-gold disk on the table. It looked like a simple plate without any engravings on it, but it was hidden in Oda.
The deepest part of Man has been preserved for tens of millions of years under the guard of the terrifying and irrational guardian Azadas, which is enough to prove its preciousness.
Yes, there is more than just Elonnaya and a giant hidden in Uldaman. After Brian used his own blood to open the deepest door, he saw another watcher, one who had completely lost his mind and had already
Crazy watcher.
He called himself Azadas the Shaper and commanded all the stone statues in the entire Uldaman ruins. Brian should have died at that time, but unexpectedly, at the moment he was about to die, the giantess
However, Elonaya appeared and saved him.
The female giant's final physical collapse was not due to exposure to sunlight or coming out of the dusty crypt, but because of the fierce and crazy battle, the deadly battle between the two guardians.
"What kind of secret are you hiding?"
"Dwarves, troggs, curse of flesh and blood, what on earth is going on?"
Brian carefully picked up two of the highest-grade magic crystals purchased from Dalaran and placed them next to the disk. The moment the two came into contact, a spark of magic sprang up, and the next moment, an illusory
An image, as if its whole body was made of starlight, appeared in front of the old dwarf.
It was like a phantom that looked similar to Elonaya. It was suspended above the platinum disc. The moment it appeared, a blue light swept across Brian's body from top to bottom, and the image of a dwarf appeared.
It landed on the disk and began to rotate. The words floating around were all runes that Brian could not understand.
But the mechanical voice changed several times in succession, and after changing into several languages, it finally turned into Dwarven language with weird grammar.
"The biological template is being determined...the identity of the inquirer is confirmed...the earth spirit template affected by the curse of flesh and blood."
"Zi...Start the purification process...The module is missing...Convert to query mode."
"The queryer has insufficient permissions. Only public databases are open... Please ask questions!"
Throughout history, the dwarves who looked reliable were actually scammers... and the dwarfs were miserably deceived by them.
