Li De did not stay in Gorongas for too long. If he wanted to help this devastated world overcome the difficulties, it would definitely not be possible to solve the problem with just a few people.
The first thing he did when he returned to Booty Bay was to facilitate Rivergaz's surrender.
When Dr. Boom brought the true situation of Gorongas to Rivergaz, this guy finally made up his mind.
Compared with Kezan's surrender ceremony, the scale here was much smaller, except that Li De and Varian accepted his surrender on behalf of the alliance.
Rivergaz ordered someone to carry out a box of 240,000 gold coins and handed it into the hands of the alliance. Li De looked at his painful expression and said with a smile.
"Don't be so reluctant, don't forget that the gold you earned from Orgrim was the property of the Kingdom of Stormwind. We didn't pursue all the losses and only asked you to hand over 240,000 gold coins, which is already extremely merciful.
"
Rivergaz snorted and said nothing. He was now looking forward to boarding the alliance's bus and earning back this loss as soon as possible.
After solving the problem on the Treasure Bay, Li De hurried back to the Hanhai Protectorate. When it came to trade issues, there were naturally dedicated people to deal with them, and he didn't need to do everything personally.
…
On Kezan Island, Malfurion and the Bronze Dragon King, who came out of the rich mining area, both let out a sigh of relief.
"I didn't expect that the actual reserves of this Azerite vein would be so large. Thanks to the peaceful ending. If there was any accident during this period, our world would be severely damaged.
The volcanic ash on the seabed was sprayed to an altitude of more than 10,000 meters, and finally spread to the whole world along with the air. Many plants will wither as a result. Plants are the cornerstone of shaping the diversity of life. Once plants are severely damaged, more animals and wisdom will
Life will die as a result."
When Malfurion said this, he was still frightened.
But when he said this, he couldn't help but sincerely praise Staghelit.
"Fandral's ability in some aspects is not inferior to mine. Those trees of life were planted by him very sensitively at the location where Azerite emits energy to the surface. After reasonable planning, it is indeed possible to pass through the tree of life.
A surface that channels Azerite energy."
Malfurion has never denied his disciple's talent. Planting trees is indeed a good way to balance energy, but Staghelm likes to go to extremes and always uses the World Tree to solve problems.
"Staghhelt has been sent back by you, right?"
Nozdormu asked from the side.
"Yes, I want him to enter the Emerald Dream for a longer period of time."
The Bronze Dragon King nodded, and then asked Malfurion again.
"What are you going to do with those Azerites? Maintaining the status quo for a long time is definitely unrealistic."
Malfurion believed deeply in Nozdormu's words.
"According to my idea, the first thing to do is to find a way to cut off this Azerite vein underground and prevent the Azerite energy deep in the earth from spreading to the surface.
We need the help of races like goblins or dwarves who are good at digging underground. For example, we need to perform a surgical operation on Azeroth to cut off this superficial 'blood vessel' and prevent it from leaking.
Azeroth continues to 'bleed'."
"After cutting it off, what are you going to do with the Azerite in this 'vessel'?"
"There is no way he would be as reckless as Staghelm and plant a World Tree to solve the problem. The World Tree is too big, although it can really absorb all the Azerite in a short period of time.
Valley
However, the corresponding roots of the World Tree are also deeper and more powerful. We cannot guarantee whether the roots of the World Tree will cause additional damage to Azeroth after absorbing all the Azerite.
"
When talking about this, Malfurion couldn't help but think of Andrassil planted by Staghelm in Northrend 4,500 years ago. The World Tree was because its roots were too deep, and it disturbed the tree sealed underground.
The Old Gods eventually suffered corruption.
"Would it be too slow to rely solely on the Tree of Life to guide Azerite?"
"That's right, so I decided to allow the goblins to properly mine Azerite. Of course, this must also be under our supervision."
Malfurion's words made Nozdormu look at him differently.
"Although the form is different, the properties of Azerite and the original Well of Eternity are the same, right? What made you make such a change?"
"This is what I realized in the Emerald Dream. Azeroth is too big. The night elves have no ability or qualification to interfere with all races. We can't even prevent the Quel'dorei and humans from using magic.
And for so many years, I have also been thinking about whether it was magic or rashness and arrogance that attracted the Burning Legion. The goblins' use of magic crystals and Azerite opened my eyes.
If they are willing to use these things not to make weapons, but to do things that benefit life, I think that under appropriate circumstances, other races can be allowed to try in various directions, and the Kaldorei and Cenarion Circle can just watch from the sidelines.
good.
The duty of the night elves and druids is to protect the Emerald Dream and life. As long as other races do not violate our bottom line, I will acquiesce to their trial and error in other fields.
Even if the physical world is harmed in the process, with the Emerald Dream here, everything can be reformatted."
As the direct disciple of the demigod, Malfurion is also the mortal most compatible with the Emerald Dream. He has been exploring the Emerald Dream for a long time. Now Malfurion can hardly be said to be a pure mortal. His body has been contaminated by the gods.
Sex, even the way of thinking about problems has changed.
"I'm glad you think so. The physical world made of matter still needs to be given some freedom. There is no shortage of guardians in the physical world. What is missing is a calm supervisor like you.
I feel relieved to leave this place to you. The bronze dragon cannot leave the Cave of Time for a long time, and you will have to work hard for Azerite."
Nozdormu now really feels that accepting Lid's suggestion to awaken Malfurion was the right decision.
Malfurion bowed slightly to express his understanding, and asked humbly.
"Your Majesty the Bronze Dragon King, I know that you have profound vision that can travel through time and space, so I take the liberty of asking you for advice. Can you give me some enlightenment?"
Nozdormu sighed.
"I'm sorry Malfurion, when you try to observe something, thousands of possibilities will become the only necessity, and the future I mentioned will only become the past. And... in this time flow, I
I can’t see the way forward clearly either.”
After saying that, Nozdormu, who was in the form of an elf, lifted the transformation spell, turned back into the form of a dragon and flew towards Tanaris, leaving Malfurion to savor the other man's words alone.
"Dear Archdruid, has the inspection of Azerite been completed?"
While Malfurion continued to look far away, Hotsand came over with other trade kings.
"Ah, good. I have a general idea of how to deal with these Azerite, and I will ask for your opinions later. I agree with you to mine Azerite appropriately, but everything must be under our supervision.
."
Malfurion did not sell out and spoke out the issue that Kezan was most concerned about.
Hot Sand and others all breathed a sigh of relief. Kezan can legally use Azerite, which makes it worthwhile for them to surrender at such a high price. Although the output will definitely be strictly limited, this starting point is a good starting point.
