As the last deep sound of the piano fell, Zhou Zhuo's ancient story also came to an end.
This eloquent traveler told the children the end of the story with emotion and nostalgia. The ending was not perfect, but it seemed extremely real.
"The Seventh Evil hidden in Emperor Shaohao's soul rolled out at this last moment. The emperor was caught off guard and in order to protect the people from being harmed, he used his last strength to seal the Evil of Pride in a mysterious place, and
A terrible thing happened. In front of the cheering people and in full view, our beloved last emperor fell to the ground with a bang."
"This emperor, who had devoted his whole life to saving the people, fell down like this and never stood up again... His body seemed to be decomposed. His body turned into a mist that filled the sky, spiraling into the world.
,that's all..."
"The emperor who swore to protect the people became part of this world."
"This is the story of the last emperor Shaohao. His legend ended ten thousand years ago."
Zhou Zhuo raised his sleeves and wiped his eyes. He smiled and said to the other silent children:
"Today, Shaohao has long ceased to exist, but he is everywhere. He has integrated into Pandaria. He is Pandaria. He will continue to fulfill his oath as the emperor and protect his people forever.
And the land he loved... We don't think Emperor Shaohao's reign is over..."
"Whenever we look up to the sky, our Emperor is there... He has never left..."
Zhou Zhuo's voice fell, but Yuna, who was very dissatisfied, screamed at this moment:
"This is wrong!"
The little ghost clenched his fists and shouted:
"Shaohao saved the world, he should be praised! He shouldn't die like this... This is not the end of the story, I don't like this ending!"
This childish statement made Zhou Zhuo stunned for a moment. Then, the traveler laughed, touched Yuna's hair, and said gently:
"When I was a child, when I first joined the Lorewalker organization, I felt like you that the ending of this story was very bad."
"But this is the real world, Yuna. It is cold, and it will not be as beautiful as the story says. The heroes who save the world may not necessarily live a happy life. Of course, if you want to hear the other side of the story,
I can also tell you the ending of a version."
The Lorewalker looked at the expectant looks of the other children. He shook his head, cleared his throat again, and said:
"This is an undocumented story because no one can figure out its authenticity."
"For ten thousand years, many people like you believed that Shaohao was not dead. They believed that Emperor Shaohao's soul had actually been hidden somewhere in Pandaria, watching his people live in peace.
time."
"These hopeful men searched for evidence all over Pandaria, but one in particular stood out."
Zhou Zhuo touched his beard and said to the children:
"Somewhere in the majestic Kun-Lai Mountains, there is a valley hidden in the snow. That valley leads to the top of the highest mountain, Everlasting Mountain. Even the most courageous and powerful explorers can't.
It's difficult to follow that path to the top of the mountain because it's so dangerous and full of all kinds of bad conditions."
"But according to the descriptions of those who were lucky enough to have walked the road and climbed to the top of Everlasting Mountain, Emperor Shaohao's soul seemed to stay there. He would appreciate the courage of those people and guide them on their life path, but said
To be honest, this has never been confirmed."
Zhou Zhuo said hesitantly:
"But those people who claimed to have seen Emperor Shaohao did indeed accomplish great things in the future... And you have all seen the person who recently walked that mountain road..."
"It's Head Zhu Taran. If you are really not satisfied with the ending of Shaohao's story, you can go to Head Zhu and ask, but he has never disclosed his experience, so I guess it will be difficult for you too.
Ask for the real story."
However, seeing the thoughtful expressions of the children, Zhou Zhuo suddenly woke up. He suddenly realized that these children in front of him were not ordinary children. They might really be capable of walking that dangerous road, but this was not the case.
What Zhou Zhuo wants to see.
Because in the mysterious Kun-Lai Mountains, there are still many strange beings and buildings hidden that the pandas don't know about. Those buildings are full of all kinds of dangers. Once these children really go on adventures, and therefore
If they were injured, according to the way the elf with the terrifying aura he had seen before did things, Tyrion, the parent of these children, would definitely not give up.
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhuo's eyes rolled, he waved his hand and said to the children who were talking to each other in low voices:
"Okay, Shaohao's story is over, but since this story is not perfect, I can tell you another story...another mysterious legend about Pandaria."
The traveler's fingers were once again placed on the strings of his guqin, and he winked at the children:
"The story about the "Fountain of Youth"... Do you want to hear it?"
————————————————————————
The story Zhou Zhuo told the children mentioned another strange creature in Pandaria, the mantid.
Although he lightly described the history of the ten-thousand-year bloody battle between the mantid and the pandaren, the actual situation of the mantid was more terrifying than what Zhou Zhuo described.
This is a kind of insect life...Does this sound familiar?
Yes, although the pandaren in Pandaria are unclear about the origin of the mantid, in fact, the mantid that took root in Pandaria is the aqir that was defeated by the troll empire using human sea tactics in ancient times.
The last of the three descendants of the Empire.
In ancient times, after the collapse of the Aqir empire, the remaining three descendants headed southwest and finally reached the sealing place of the ancient god C'Thun. Infused with C'Thun's power, they became
The Qiraji, who are now on the verge of extinction.
And one branch migrated all the way north, reaching the ice-covered North Pole of the continent, where they excavated the frozen soil, lived and multiplied under the warm earth, and came into contact with another ancient god Yogg-Saron, and then formed a bias towards
The spider demons who manipulate mysterious mental and genetic abilities have built a huge insect empire underground in the ice and snow of Northrend. They call themselves "Eljol-Nerub", which is also the "Empire of Nerub".
The last group of bugs went all the way south, and finally reached the land of Pandaria, which was not separated from the mainland at that time. The experience of this group of bugs was rather strange. They did not migrate after the complete collapse of the Yaqir Empire.
But after witnessing the terrifying power of the Troll Empire, the leader of this insect tribe realized that it would be extremely foolish to continue to devote strength to this war that had no chance of winning.
So they started migrating early. This kind of terrifying rationality and self-control is extremely rare among the insect people. Their early departure also led to the complete disintegration of the Yaqir Empire at the last moment.
But although this weird bug-men have cruel and superb wisdom, they, like other bug-men, fanatically worship the ancient gods. They discovered the remains of the powerful ancient god Y'shaarj, which was sealed by the Titan Guardians.
In the center of Pandaria, they called Y'Shaarj "the Lord" and built their new home in the northwest of Pandaria.
They called it "Mantivis" and used this place as their base camp to launch crazy attacks again and again towards the Titan Legion that had not yet betrayed them, that is, the army composed of rock life - the Mogu Legion.
of suicide attacks.
But note, the mantid's suicide attack is not without meaning...
In fact, this is a cruel "selection". When the mantids first migrated to Mantivis, they did not have too much power, so they sent their warriors into the battle with the mogu army.
Only the strongest ones can survive the brutal battle and then return to Mantevis, where after a period of accumulation, the warriors will be sent to the front line again.
Just like this, attacking again and again, with the support of the terrifying fecundity of insect life, the mantid army became stronger and stronger, which directly attracted the attention of the mogu army. At that time, it was absolutely loyal to the local titan guardians."
The mogu legions of "Lai" mobilized their armies and prepared to eliminate all the mantids at once. It was a terrible battle, but the mogu legions ultimately failed.
Because a powerful warrior who broke through the ranks of life was born on the side of the Mantid, it was revered as the "Supreme One", and its name was Korvan. It commanded the absolute elite that the Mantid had accumulated in the past nearly a thousand years of war.
, with an extremely crazy fighting posture, beheaded the leader of the Mogu Legion on the spot, which directly led to the complete defeat of the Mogu Legion.
Of course, the legions of powerful Titan Guardians have no numerical disadvantage. Unfortunately, just when the mogu were preparing for the next wave of counterattack, the silent curse of flesh and blood swept the entire world, and also changed the loyal mogu.
Weakened and confused at the same time, the Mantid was extremely lucky to retain its heritage... and it continues to this day.
Also continuing is the cruel war pattern of the mantid. Every hundred years, the new mantid, led by veterans, will climb over the Great Wall built by the mogu, towards the Dragon's Back.
The Pandaren and other creatures launched terrible plundering wars in the territories. These ruthless Zerg beings are still accumulating strength in this way, until they come out in force in a hundred-year cycle, completely annihilating the entire Pandaren civilization and seizing the power of the "Master"
The remains allowed the lost Dark Empire to be re-established in Azeroth.
The fog of Pandaria dissipated, exposing the entire continent to the eyes of the world. Most people who wanted to plunder wealth or had other purposes chose to go from the gentler Krasarang Jungle or the most densely populated area of Pandaria.
The Emerald Forest landed, but in this plundering frenzy, there happened to be a pirate fleet that was always too small, but not too big, and chose to land from the western part of Pandaria, where the terrain is terrible...
And there is the Mantid's base camp in Pandaria, where Mantevius once participated after the Catastrophe, and now...the Dread Wasteland!
This land is a very bad place. It is desolate at first glance. There are no visible flowers and plants on the weird blue-gray soil. There are only some trees that have dried up and died due to energy chaos, and Kepa looming in the field of vision.
Tree.
Those weird Kepa trees draw energy from the ground, and then hang on the trunks in a posture covered with a sticky halo. On the bare branches with no leaves at all, there are some already formed amber balls. Don’t underestimate these ambers.
These viscous liquids with special significance are the most important guarantee for the mantid to be able to pass on for more than ten thousand years.
Mantid civilization is tightly tied to sound waves and amber.
"Wow"
Like a bird flying in the wind, a mantid sergeant holding a halberd and wearing a horny battle helmet, with a body and appearance very similar to a mantis, flapped four flying wings and landed on the invasion as lightly as a gale warrior.
in front of the person.
This mantid wore a strange helmet and looked at the strange human in black robes with its terrifying compound eyes. It let out a series of low hisses, seeming to question the purpose of this bold human's visit.
After years of exposure to wind and rain in the South China Sea, Benedictus, who finally waited until the fog lifted, was darker than before. If it weren't for the simple black robe he was wearing, this guy would have looked more like a
A pirate, not a true believer in the evil god.
But Benedictus's posture at this time was as sincere as the former archbishop. Facing the alien insect-like creature in front of him, Benedictus raised the strange badge on his chest, and then spoke in an unparalleled way.
The weird language said:
"аз,великиятгосподарнаредавсянкатаназемята,господарнасъдбатамипоследователи,завъзстановяванеизана й-високо,тъмноимперия! (I, the follower of the great master who walks on the shadow land, I come for the resurrection of the master’s doomsday, the dark empire is supreme!)”
This sentence made the mantid sergeant stunned for a moment. It looked at Benedictus doubtfully. Feeling the power of the void emanating from the human in front of him, the mantid sergeant temporarily believed his words, but then, the mantid
The demon pointed the halberd at the rude pirates who followed Benedictus with greedy eyes, seeming to be questioning why Benedictus brought these despicable flesh and blood creatures into this holy place.
?
Faced with this question, a gentle smile flashed across Benedictus's calm face. He opened his arms and said softly:
"тесакатостаритесъюзници,мидонесеподаръкезавеликия господар,същомипредложикръвидуша,товаенай-искрен атасижертва...(They are the gifts I brought to my ancient allies, and they are also the blood and soul I offer to the great master. They are the most sincere sacrifices...)"
