In Kun-Lai Summit, on the edge of the snowy mountain cliff of the White Tiger Temple, Tyrion, wearing a family robe, is playing chess with the legendary monk Lao Chen who will be recuperating here.
This is one of the important entertainments of the panda people in their thousands of years of history. It is not quite the same as chess in other parts of Azeroth, which is a product of Western feudal civilization. It is more like the black and white Go game in Tyrion's vague memory.
This thing is easy to learn but difficult to master. Among chess players, the great lord is at most a beginner.
But using wisdom to fight against each other is a perfect thing to kill time, and the two people playing chess can also chat. On the stone platform not far away from the two people, the naughty boy who returned from the Valley of Eternal Blossoms
There they were shouting and playing a card game called "Hearthstone", which is a puzzle game that has become popular in the Federation recently and is very popular among the citizens of the Federation.
Tyrion frowned and thought for several minutes before placing the black stones in his hand on the chessboard. He probably felt that he had made a good move. The high lord's frown relaxed. He raised his head and looked at the cross-legged person sitting opposite.
Old Chen, he said softly:
"A few days ago, little girl Lili asked my subordinate to help her check something. Regarding the inheritance of the Stormstout family in Pandaria, I heard that the Stormstout family on the Wandering Island is actually the Stormstout family in Pandaria.
A branch of the spirits family?”
"Well, that's true."
Old Chen, who still had a bandage on his arm, picked up a white chess piece from his hand. He glanced at the great lord. The legendary monk said with a naive smile:
"The Wandering Island is full of explorers who left Pandaria with Master Liu Lang. There are not only members of the Stormstout Family, but also the Iron Eyebrow Family, the Fire Palm Family, the Yunge Family, and many smaller branches.
In Wusong Village, everyone often talks about the deeds of our ancestors in Pandaria. In the culture of the panda people, recognizing their ancestors and returning to their clan is very, very important."
Lao Chen placed the white chess piece in his hand on a certain position on the chessboard. This move was very magical, like a big axe, easily destroying the advantage that the big lord had finally accumulated on the chessboard. This made Terry
His expression became ugly.
But the great lord is not a sore loser...
He threw the chess piece in his hand on the chessboard and declared his defeat. This was already the 14th game he had lost in the game with Lao Chen. The silly fat panda in front of him, under the appearance of a martial artist, was still a human being.
Authentic Go masters, it is said that the monks of Wuchen Temple need to receive Go training and use this kind of entertainment to maintain their mood and find breakthroughs.
"Ah, I lost again."
Tyrion picked up a glass of blood wine with ice. He took a sip of the cold wine, then looked at Lao Chen and said:
"You won, Lao Chen, so let me celebrate your victory with some good news... My subordinates, yesterday, on the southwest plain of the Valley of the Four Winds, found a building that was being attacked by the rabbit demon.
The brewery, if she read it correctly, that brewery should be called Stormstout Brewery, and it is the last legacy of your family in Pandaria."
"And I heard that there are still many members of the Stormstout family operating in the Mantis Plateau and the Valley of the Four Winds..."
Lao Chen suddenly raised his head, and the lord clearly saw a flash of joy in Lao Chen's eyes. Seeing that Lao Chen was about to stand up and salute, the lord smiled and waved his hand, signaling him not to be so outspoken.
"Your niece plays great with my girls and they are true friends."
The great lord put down his wine glass and said to Lao Chen:
"Lili has actually always wanted to go to the Federation. At her age, she should stay in school and study honestly. Therefore, I will be a lobbyist. After your trip in Pandaria is over, Defias Federation National College of Nature
I will send an invitation letter to little girl Lili, and I hope you and her father can agree."
"And with Vanessa taking care of her, she won't be bullied in the Federation."
"this..."
Old Chen was a little hesitant. He was Lili's uncle, but his relationship with Lili's father, his eldest brother, was not very harmonious. But since the big lord said it himself, Old Chen thought for a moment and then agreed.
nod.
"Okay, I will go and talk to Cheng Bo, but my brother, alas, he is more stubborn than me."
While the two "chess friends" were chatting, Tyrion suddenly noticed that the shadow appeared on the cliff platform. He stood up, said goodbye to Lao Chen, and then asked him to take care of the naughty children, and then followed
The shadow walked off the cliff.
"The "Black Bishop" has arrived at his destination. The message he left shows that he has successfully gained the trust of the remaining mantid heroes. They have taken advantage of the darkness of the night to sail towards Novotel in a stolen ship.
Sende advances."
Shadow whispered to Tyrion:
"Dai Lin separated a battleship to follow them, but what I don't understand is, boss, if this matter is really so important, why should it be handed over to an untrustworthy person to execute it?"
"Because I don't want to alert Yog-Saron and Nasa in advance."
Tyrion looked at the towering Kun-Lai Snow Mountains in the distance, and he whispered:
"The Demon of Thousand Maws has probably taken control of the entire Ulduar. If we appear directly in the Storm Peaks, Yogg-Saron, who has a premonition of the threat, will probably make a desperate effort to destroy the city and prevent us from entering it, but that city
There are things we must get in the City of Titans, which are related to the final transcendence of the entire Dark Blade, and I can't take risks."
"We will definitely go there in the future, but if we decide to enter Ulduar, we must kill it with one strike... Before Yogg-Saron can react, we must completely take over the most important building.
The engine of the world, the Black Bishop is the chess piece that throws stones at us, he will make all the preliminary preparations for us, there is no need to worry about his loyalty..."
The great lord narrowed his eyes:
"What he wants, only I can give him!"
"All right."
Shadow has been with Tyrion for almost ten years. She is very aware of Tyrion's style of doing things. She stopped paying attention to this matter and started talking about another thing:
"We found the palace you asked us to look for in the hinterland of Kun-Lai Mountain! Lord Yrel is leading his soldiers to clean up the crazy rock creations in the palace. The place will be cleared soon."
"very good!"
Tyrion snapped his fingers, and a ball of black-red icy flames bloomed in front of his eyes. The great lord's pet, the underworld phoenix Ifeltal, neighed happily, flew around the great lord twice, and then flew around the great lord.
At Tyrion's signal, the body of this small Hellfire Phoenix expanded rapidly, and in an instant it turned into a behemoth with a body length of 30 meters and a wingspan of more than 30 meters.
The great lord sat on the saddle behind the Hellfire Phoenix. He nodded to the shadow. The latter summoned his armored combat bat to lead the way for the great lord. In just ten minutes, they landed on
On an inconspicuous platform on the towering ridge behind Kun-Lai Mountain, probably because no one has visited it for nearly ten thousand years, the platform is covered with snow, and a group of capable death knights are surrounding the platform.
Patrolling the mountain stream.
Obviously, this is a very important facility location for the Dark Blade Legion.
However, after the high lord entered the mysterious palace hidden in the mountains, he saw the angry-looking Death Lord Yrel, and some dejected death knights. Judging from the scars on their armor, they had obviously just
It was a fierce battle and there were some injuries.
"What's going on?"
The high lord asked doubtfully. Yrel, whose face was still stained with black ash, flicked his tail and glared fiercely at the Pandaren Lorewalker sitting next to him. This good-tempered hoof girl said angrily:
"Ask him!"
"Well..."
Seeing the great lord turn away, the embarrassed pandaren traveler Zhou Zhuo, who was also a panda ambassador who had a good relationship with the Dark Blade Legion, said with some fear:
"I really didn't mean it. I saw the button and I thought, maybe after I press it, I might find a lot of hidden secrets..."
Speaking of this, Zhou Zhuo's eyes flashed with light:
"And I did find it! That weird huge engineering instrument does contain weird knowledge. It is the deepest secret hidden in the Mogu Empire! My decades of research are in the right direction! Mogu are not natural
Born life! They are made!”
"First, you went through those weird books and accidentally summoned the evil spirits of four ancient emperors, catching us off guard. Then you recklessly activated some instruments that you didn't even know what they were. Yes! Lorewalker, you did find out.
You learned the secret...you satisfied your curiosity!"
Yrel crossed his arms and said coldly:
"But before you press that button, can you inform us in advance? Because of your reckless actions, I lost 25 of my best knights! Maybe I should make you a death knight to make up for my losses!"
Yrel's cold voice made the excited Zhou Zhuo beat an eggplant like frost. The panda muttered in a low voice:
"I didn't mean it, and I don't want to see this bad thing..."
"Uh, okay, don't be angry."
The high lord looked at the pandaren traveler in front of him with strange eyes. He rubbed his chin and whispered:
"Zhou Zhuo, Zhou Zhuo, you remind me of an "old friend" of mine, a highly skilled explorer. You and he have a lot in common. You both have strong curiosity and can't control yourself.
You will definitely become good friends... Well, you have caused irreparable losses to Dark Blade. As compensation, I hope you can do something for us..."
"Let me hire you."
The high lord's request made Zhou Zhuo raise his head. This well-educated pandaren traveler blinked his eyes and said stubbornly:
"I won't do bad things for you. Lorewalkers won't take up arms!"
"No, no, no, you misunderstood, Mr. Zhou Zhuo."
Tyrion raised a finger and waved it in front of Zhou Zhuo's eyes. He said softly with a smile on his face:
"I'm not asking you to fight. I don't lack a bad soldier. I just want to hire you to go to another continent and use your outstanding insights and professional knowledge to find the ruins of an ancient titan for us, just like here.
No, no! It’s ten thousand times bigger than here!”
"That is a lost city called the "City of Titans", which contains the secrets of the ancient gods! What do you think? Do you accept it?"
Zhou Zhuo, a traveler who devoted his life to history and knowledge, slowly brightened up after hearing the great lord's explanation, and finally, he nodded without hesitation.
"No problem! I accept it!"
"I can feel that in that city, I can find a lot of valuable knowledge..."
——————————————————
"Send a special person to keep an eye on him, Nasa."
The high lord personally took Yrel and a group of death knights and walked deep into the mysterious palace. He ordered the shadow beside him:
"Zhou Zhuo is as talented as Brian Bronzebeard in exploration. With his "help", the group of Bronzebeard dwarves may be able to find the entrance to Ulduar soon, but they must be careful! Don't let it
He touches anything of unknown origin...This guy's luck is as bad as Brian's!"
"Well, I will send the best agents to assist him."
The shadow nodded, and the next moment, everyone bypassed a passage covered by a stone door. What came into view was a grand underground temple. The walls here were covered with steel. In the center of the temple, there was a tower full of
Titan-style instruments, various solid energy conduits flowing with blue Titan energy, and huge gears and weird transmission shafts operating. On the ground that shines blue like glass, there are rings on all sides.
The shaped facility has risen, which means that this ancient Titan instrument has been activated.
In front of everyone's eyes, a strange and huge auspicious cloud dragon was suspended in mid-air, staring at this group of outsiders with its mechanical eyes.
This Xianglong has no entity. Its body seems to have been completely transformed by the power of Titan. Its body like a giant snake is covered with blue starlight, and there are dots of energy nodes shining in it. It looks extremely beautiful.
.
But this beautiful thing is very, very dangerous...
"That's it!"
Yrel raised the warhammer in his hand and said to Tyrion:
"Zhou Zhuo pressed the button, and this guy rushed out from the depths of the instrument. Its breath was so terrifying that the best knight didn't even have a chance to react before he was completely melted by the flames of the starlight..."
"It's a guardian..."
Tyrion looked at the starlight dragon in front of him with admiration, and he said softly:
"It was ordered to protect this ancient temple, and what it protects is also the best trophy we have come to Pandaria on this trip...a secondary creation engine built by the Titan Guardian..."
"Nalaksha... it once forged the most heroic and powerful soldiers for the Titans. It was these soldiers who defeated the arrogant ancient gods head-on and completely ended that era of disaster. Now..."
