The King of the Forest was about to speak, but when he thought that this was not the place to speak, he swallowed his words back.
"We'd better go to the city first."
Li De also realized the profound meaning of this, and at the same time, he also began to become curious about Susus the Flagellant: thinking about it this way, it really didn't look like the weapon of a troll, a hunting race with spears and crossbows as traditional weapons.
, creating a giant sword that contains shadow energy is indeed a bit outrageous.
Cenarius visited Gadgetzan under the leadership of Li De. Everything in this city surprised Cenarius, but he did not express his opinion immediately.
Lid and Nogfogg originally wanted to invite Cenarius to talk to the top management of the Gadgetzan Hotel, but Cenarius showed no interest in this. He wanted to see the source of the invitation that brought him here.
Respecting the wishes of the demigods, Li De took Cenarius to Stonehenge.
Cenarius was shocked when he saw Stonehenge. Throughout his long life, he had no memory of this wonder. He realized that this was definitely not a relic of a Titan creation.
At this moment, Cenarius suddenly became curious about this magical human race in front of him. So under the attention of everyone, Li De and Cenarius entered Stonehenge.
Standing in the center of Stonehenge, Cenarius felt a vague force. This force was very complex and not a single entity like arcana or holy light.
Li De looked at Cenarius with a somewhat complicated mood. The demigod in front of him had taught the night elves and tauren the Druid way in history. Is the Druid way really suitable for Tanaris?
?
After noticing Li De's gaze, Cenarius stopped comprehending that power.
"Now can you tell me how this weapon came into your hands?"
Since the other party cared so much about the Lasher, there was nothing Li De couldn't say, so he calmly talked about the relationship between the Lasher and the Sandfury Troll, and at the same time mentioned the three-headed giant snake Gazrilla.
When talking about Gazrilla, Li De noticed a clear change in Cenarius's expression. Cenarius looked at Li De in disbelief, as if he still couldn't accept that a mortal killed Gaz.
Rila.
Cenarius asked to take a look at the Flagellant. Li De generously took off the giant sword and handed it to Cenarius. After confirming the authenticity of the Flagellant, Cenarius sighed and decided to give it to Li De.
Tell a story:
'When the universe was first born, several powerful Titans awakened in the starry sky. They were all awakened from the star souls of the planet.
The Titans have a common enemy, which is the Lord of the Void from the Void Plane. He controls the power of shadow and is ready to invade the physical plane at any time.
During the long years of confrontation with the Lord of the Void, the Titans discovered Azeroth. In the star of Azeroth, there was an unprecedented huge star soul.
The Titans believe that once this star soul awakens, it will become the most powerful Titan, with enough power to destroy the Lord of the Void!
But when the Titans discovered Azeroth, it was also targeted by the ancient gods sent by the Lord of the Void. Those ancient gods parasitized on the surface of Azeroth and established a terrifying dark empire that corrupted it.
Azeroth.
In order to fight against the Old Gods and the Dark Empire, the Titans created a group of guardians and gave them their own powers. Those guardians with the power of the Titans worked together to dismantle the Dark Empire and successfully sealed the Old Gods.
After doing this, the guardians began to shape Azeroth, in which they created many life forms from rocks and metals with magical power. These are the "Titan Creations".
In addition to directly creating the "Titan Creation", there is also a female guardian who chooses to help life on Azeroth thrive. Her name is Freya, the Lord of Life.
She spread the seeds of life to the world, and many creatures became powerful wilderness demigods under her nourishment, such as Cenarius's father: Malorne, the White Hart King.
Of course, these demigods also include the three-headed serpent Gazrilla!
Although they both belong to the earliest group of wilderness demigods and are treated equally by the King of Life Freya, Gazrilla is paranoid that she is not taken seriously.
Unlike Guardians and Titan creations, Wild Demigods are essentially flesh-and-blood creatures native to Azeroth, but are nourished by the power of Titans. Therefore, even if they become Wild Demi-Gods, they still have the characteristics of flesh-and-blood creatures: complex emotions.
.
Each wilderness demigod has a different distinctive character: the peaceful white deer king Malorne, the bold wild boar god Agamaggan, the optimistic and wise giant turtle Tutola, the wild and unrestrained wolf god Goldrinn...
The most prominent character of Gazrilla is jealousy. He insists that Freya prefers other wild demigods. This jealousy makes his heart dark and gives the ancient gods an opportunity to take advantage of her.
Although the Guardians defeated the Old Gods, the Tentacles of the Old Gods had penetrated deep into the star of Azeroth. The Guardians were not able to kill them and could only seal them away.
But even after being banished to the underground, these ancient gods still refused to give up and whispered to the creatures on the ground. As a result, Gazrilla was bewitched by C'Thun and became cruel and bloodthirsty to join the remnants of the Dark Empire.
camp.
At that time, in Uldum, the city established by the Guardians.
Occupying this place is a Titan-created race: the mogu. The mogu, born with great power, fought against the remnants of the Dark Empire who attacked Uldum.
Among them were the Faceless Men, the Bugmen, and the fallen demigod of the wilds, Gaz'rilla.
In order to check the demigod Gazrilla, the mogu leader at that time forged a powerful sword and used it to seriously injure Gazrilla. The painful Gazrilla escaped with the sword on his body.
Uldum fled into the depths of the desert, never to be heard from again!'
After listening to this story, Li De suddenly realized. Of course he knew where the desert where Gazrilla escaped was. It was Tanaris at his feet. The giant gate in the mountains at the southernmost end of the Tanaris Desert was a creation of the Titans.
The entrance to the city of Uldum!
It seems that the great sword forged by the mogu tribe is Su'sas the Lasher.
It must have been that when Gazrilla escaped to the mountains in the northern desert to recuperate, he was discovered by the trolls who were preparing to build a city here. Because it was indeed a wilderness demigod, it became the belief of those trolls.
The Lasher may have been twisted by the power of the ancient gods, turning into two weapons and falling into the hands of the Sandfury tribe.
Speaking of this, Cenarius couldn't help but sigh.
"I heard from Ms. Ysera that after learning about Gazrilla's fall, Freya, the King of Life, was very sad. She cares for every wilderness demigod equally.
Freya hoped to find Gazrilla and rescue him from the distortion, but before the Lord of Life could take action, she herself suddenly disappeared."
Li De did not interrupt. He knew that Cenarius was definitely not just telling him an ancient story. What he really wanted to say must be later.
"Leed Victory, you are very powerful, and I can see that you are ambitious. But in my long life, I have seen too many talented and strategic leaders.
I suggest you get rid of this sword, I believe you can also feel the shadow power on it. When the Mogu tribe forged it, arcane power was poured into it, but after thousands of years of Gazrela
The influence of it is filled with shadow power.
In the story I just told, even Gazrilla, as a demigod of the wilderness, could not resist the bewitchment of the ancient gods. If you use this sword for a long time, I am afraid you will also be corrupted by the shadow."
Cenarius advised him earnestly, and Li De said after thinking about it for a while.
"Dear King of the Forest, thank you for your kindness, but I believe that as long as my mind is firm enough, it will not be able to affect me. After all, Gazrilla was taken advantage of by the ancient gods because of her long-term jealousy.
Enter, right?"
Cenarius was a little unhappy, this human race was more proud than he thought.
"Human race, I have said it before. There are many leaders better than you in history. The Elf Queen Azshara of Kaldorei once established such great achievements, but because she was addicted to arcane power, she almost destroyed the entire Azeroth.
Destruction, do you really think you are stronger than Azshara?"
Cenarius's words were harsh, and Li De tried his best to remain polite.
"You said it yourself, Azshara was addicted to power that led to disaster. Although I have never seen her, I can guess that she is separated from her people. She is obsessed with self-achievement to the point of neglecting her people.
, I’m afraid he can’t be called a qualified leader, right? I’m different from her.”
Cenarius didn't like Li De's words very much.
"You're so arrogant! Just like your city!"
"!?"
Li De's pupils suddenly opened wide and he looked at Cenarius in disbelief. He simply couldn't understand what the other person said.
"There is no point in building such a majestic city with no manpower to show your great achievements. Where is the city that the Titans created now? One day your city will also be reduced to ruins.
Only by coexisting in harmony with nature can we achieve eternity. Your unscrupulous changes to nature will only lead to self-destruction in the end by being obsessed with power..."
Li De was finally irritated. He thought that as a demigod of the wilderness, Cenarius would have something to say when he came to Stonehenge, but he did not expect that he would say such vulgar words.
"I'm not that naive yet and want to build a house to satisfy my vanity!
The principle of coexisting in harmony with nature is correct, but in the Tanaris Desert, if we want to be in harmony with nature, will it coexist with us?
If we don’t build a city, the ten thousand of us will just eat sand?
Building shelters, obtaining food and clothing through labor, and transforming nature to a certain extent are exactly how we adapt to nature:
Building canals to save and utilize water resources will not deplete water sources; domesticating and breeding lizards to provide us with food will not cause the lizards in the desert to become extinct. Sustainable development is our survival philosophy!"
Reed's words aroused strong dissatisfaction from Cenarius.
"This is the source of disaster! Mortals always try to transform nature! Only the way of Druid who respects nature is the truth. If you are willing, I can help you migrate to the northern forest, where there is abundant food.
You survive!"
Following Cenarius's words, Li De received Eureka's prompt.
"Ding~, congratulations to the leader for invoking the wilderness demigod Cenarius. Do you want to spend 10,000 productivity points to create the religious "Druid's Way"?
(Note: The leader currently has 32,700 productivity points.)"
'Congratulations!'
Li De chose "No" without hesitation. He has a lot of productivity points now, but he doesn't spend it like this. What kind of wrongdoer must he be to spend these 10,000 wrongdoing points?!
He had no intention of arguing with Cenarius. A person with extreme ideas could not change his opinion, let alone a god with extreme ideas. The way of Druid was destined to be incompatible with Tanaris.
He was too lazy to talk to Cenarius about things like "it doesn't hurt to talk while standing" and "they are not immortals like the night elves".
"Thank you for your kindness, King of the Forest. People in the desert have their own way of life. We will not leave the home we have built with hard work. We will continue to live here tenaciously."
