"Haha, I'm afraid you don't have such a big face. You stood idly by when we needed help, and now you show up here like no one else and talk about solving the corruption problem. It's too late, we have already found a solution."
Lu Gui said coldly and sarcastically to Li De.
Li De shook his head and sighed.
"With all due respect, you are only exacerbating conflicts and not solving the problem."
At this time, Krasus, Khadgar and Antonidas also came to Li De's side, and these few standing together seemed particularly important.
But facing these people, Malfurion was still able to neither be humble nor overbearing.
"The Red Dragon Prince, the human guardian, and the chief of Dalaran, they all have power that cannot be underestimated. But I will not change my mind. Warlocks are minions of the Burning Legion. In this kind of problem, we should not lose at least
Judgment. Ten thousand years ago, we had too much hesitation, and we paid a heavy price.
If you can’t learn lessons from history, it’s meaningless to have more power. Neither the humans nor the dragons will forget the pain that the warlocks caused you, right? Do you still remember that Ms. Trastraza came to Hyjal a few years ago?
Shan, please ask for our assistance. It was during that operation that Shandis met Li De.
The corruption problem in Azerite is already quite serious, and we don’t have much time to waste. Making a decision is what I must do.”
Everyone didn't know how to refute what Malfurion said. Li De knew that he couldn't continue the conversation along the other side's topic.
"There is also a relationship of checks and balances within the dark side. If we can understand the secrets, the dark side can be used to our advantage. The Burning Legion is just a manifestation of evil energy. It cannot represent all evil energy, just like Da
The mages of Laran cannot represent all arcana. We cannot say that every warlock must be a minion of the Burning Legion."
Li De's words made Antonidas feel a little uncomfortable, but he still nodded in agreement.
"Yes, that's the truth."
Malfurion glanced at the faces in front of him, and he tasted the deep meaning in Li De's words.
"Li De, I admit that you are excellent, but your most fatal weakness is arrogance. Do you think you can understand the mystery of the origin of the dark side?
I've seen too many people who think they have control over the dark side and end up going crazy. If you don't believe it, you can get to know a guy named Xavius."
"Thank you for the reminder, the first Satyr in history. Of course I have heard of Xavius' name. I also have something to say to the Archdruid:
Of course there is nothing wrong with being resolute and decisive, but when it comes to launching a war, I'm afraid you need to be more cautious. Just like the magical war between the Night Elf Empire and the Blue Dragon before the War of the Ancients, a war is launched because of inherent opinions.
It will create strong enemies for itself and drag the country into danger."
Being defeated by Li De, Malfurion knew that no one could convince anyone. In fact, in Malfurion's heart, if there was a better solution, he would not resort to waging war to solve the problem.
, but the key to the problem now is that he doesn't trust Li De.
At this moment, Li De seemed to suddenly say something off-topic.
"If I remember correctly, the quota of the seven-member Azerite Committee has not been filled yet, right?"
Malfurion was aware of Li De's intentions, but he still told the truth.
"That's right. Counting you, there are only five people in total now. The other four are His Majesty Nozdormu, the representative of the Azeroth Aspect Dragon, and the most powerful one in Kozan, Hot Sand, who is directly in charge of Azeroth.
Mogul of the special mine, and the other one is me."
Li De nodded, as long as he still recognized this system.
"Since I am also one of the five seats, I think I am qualified to mediate in this conflict between Azerite.
I can understand your distrust of me, so before formal mediation, I would like to invite the main persons responsible for both parties to be a guest in my territory for two days. During these two days, I will swear on my life to ensure that both parties
The safety of all personnel. After two days, you can decide whether I am qualified to be a mediator. If you feel that I am not worthy, the conflict suspended here can continue.
In order to eliminate this conflict, I even brought elite troops to intervene. I believe everyone is aware of what is happening in the Hanhai Protectorate. So I think you should be able to feel my sincerity in ending the dispute."
Even Shikui, who had objections to Li De, had to admit this.
"You are indeed sincere in taking care of this place despite such a difficult war."
Malfurion fell into thinking, but did not make a decision immediately.
"This conflict is between both sides. Even if you can convince me, you may not be able to convince the goblins on the opposite side. What they are best at is double-dealing and going back on their word."
Li De said confidently.
"You don't have to worry about it. Someone has already done the work of convincing the goblins."
At this moment, Steamwheedle and Mogul arrived here with their guards, accompanied by Noggenfogg, Bigwitz, Khazik and others. Of course, the best person to convince the goblins must be
It's a goblin.
The only way to convince the two trade kings is to help weigh the pros and cons and then use coercion and inducement. This kind of thing is very good for the goblin lobby.
In the final analysis, the will of the goblins to resolutely fight is not strong. This group of opportunists are now very happy for someone to mediate, provided of course that this is not a trap.
Seeing that the two goblin trade kings were invited, Malfurion also made a decision.
"Okay, I'll give you two days. Claes Wolfheart!"
Following Malfurion's shout, a night elf general walked out of the team.
"I will be away from here temporarily for 48 hours. From now on, you will temporarily take command of the army. After 48 hours, if Staghelm and I have not returned, you will attack the goblin army! Or these 48
Within hours, if you find that the goblin troops dare to make any changes, you can also launch an attack according to the situation!"
Hot Sand and Mogul nodded slightly. Both of them were smart people, and even their orders were similar.
Only Staghelm was the most dissatisfied with this arrangement. He thought that during Malfurion's two-day absence, the command of the army would be transferred to him. At that time, he could flexibly "initiate actions according to the situation"
"Attack". He was not worried about whether making his own decisions would bring danger to Malfurion. The Archdruid always had a way out of trouble.
Unfortunately, Malfurion also saw his plan. The teacher and student had known each other for ten thousand years, and Malfurion knew full well how messy Staghelm was.
Because Lu Kei could not achieve his goal, his mood was extremely bad, and he did not have a good look towards Li De.
"Humph, you're just trying to be mysterious. I don't think there's any way to cure corruption. What else do you have to say!"
…
The conditions given by Malfurion were quite harsh. They only had 48 hours. There was not much time to waste on the road. Fortunately, the two top mages were both here. Even though they were two thousand kilometers apart, the guardian and the chief wizard
It can also lock Gadgetzan's teleportation array and create a temporary teleportation gate here.
During the process of creating the portal, the mediator team and the two parties being mediated were also having small-scale private communications.
"Arch Druid, I really didn't expect that you would agree to use the most extreme method of war. Could it be that the shadow corruption has become that serious? Will this endanger the whole world?"
Now that he has agreed to suspend the conflict, Malfurion can also communicate rationally with Li De.
"It would be a huge exaggeration to say that the corrupted Azerite under Kezan can destroy the world. Azeroth is much larger and more resilient than we thought.
Not to mention the Azerite underground in Kezan, even if all the Azerite in the superficial strata is corrupted, Azeroth will not necessarily be destroyed.
However, this does not mean that life on the surface will not be destroyed.
If the Azerite underground in Kezan is corrupted, all the natural elements and soul energy here will be corrupted. By then, Kezan Island will become a very sad land, and the nearby sea will be filled with corrupt energy.
Marine life will also corrupt and mutate.
What’s even more frightening is that by that time, the tragedy here will spread to farther places along with the ocean currents. With this place as the center, all life that depends on the ocean will be affected within a radius of several thousand kilometers.”
Malfurion's expression was extremely serious, and Li De knew that he was not being alarmist. No wonder they planned to use such an extremely cruel method, and would rather both Kezan and Corruption die.
They were communicating in a low voice here, and Noggenfogg was also conversing in a low voice with Hot Sand over there.
"You are a little too brave. You have transformed hundreds of warlocks. Are you not afraid of losing your life one day?"
Noggenfogg frowned and said, with a faint critical tone.
Resha stared at Noggenfogg in disbelief with wide eyes. He had not seen him for more than two months. How dare this guy speak to him in such a condescending tone?!
"Marin, you are very presumptuous. Don't forget, you are the warlock I transformed into. Don't act like you know more about evil than me."
Noggenfogg said in a cold tone.
"Sorry, I really know better than you now."
"you?!"
Hot Sand gritted his teeth and stared at Nogfogg, how dare this bastard do this now? He is just one of his employees!
Noggenfogg seemed not to notice his emotional changes and spoke to him in an admonishing tone.
"Have you ever looked at the twisted void? Although evil energy will not damage our bodies, when the evil energy is powerful to a certain extent, your consciousness will be connected to that foreign land. When you see that twisted scene, have you ever
Can you stay sane?"
Rousha's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Nogfogg blankly.
