Prell looked at Koluzik in surprise. For the first time, he discovered that Koluzik actually knew so much about the past history of the world of Azeroth.
As if he saw something in the equally surprised eyes of everyone, Koluzik smiled bitterly: "The curse of flesh and blood of the ancient gods has also been cast on our family of mountain giants. But we persisted in the end, but our strength is also limited.
It has been greatly weakened. Compared with those truly powerful giant ancestors, our current strength is not worth mentioning."
Prell asked: "So, Koruzik, please forgive me, how long have you existed?" Koruzik smiled: "I have lived for two thousand years! The life of the mountain giant family is endless and long.
It is very boring, so my people, like those druids, will also fall into long slumber to pass the endless time.
And I was created by other mountain giants, and the power of life is always so powerful and magical!" He laughed freely.
Prell was a little speechless. Ninel reacted from the shock brought by the history mentioned by Koluzik and said: "Cenarius said that this earth spirit is called Gogorok. Have your people heard of this name?
?”
Koruzik shook his head: "I have never heard of this name, but my people once fought with an awakened earth spirit. Maybe you have heard of the place where the battle took place, which is Thousand Needles Stone Forest!"
Prell was shocked: "You mean, the stone pillars in Thousand Needles Stone Forest were all made by the power of earth spirits?" Koluzik nodded: "Yes, that is an earth spirit that was almost in its prime.
He was also furious because he lost contact with the Guardians and Titans, and he didn't know the meaning of the work and value he was given.
At that time, my people paid huge casualties for this. The earth spirit did not completely degenerate into a dwarf, so he was very powerful. However, my people lost the protection of the Titans and Guardians, and their strength was greatly weakened.
, that was really a tough battle!
I was created and awakened shortly after that. The task of my people scattered in Feralas is to monitor the surrounding areas to see if there are other unawakened earth spirits."
Prell once again raised a question: "I heard that there are many mountain giants in Marathon guarding the side of Princess Theradras. Didn't you say that the mountain giants are creations of the Titans? Why did they go with the princess of the earth element?
Together?"
This question was a bit offensive, but Koluzik didn't mind and just smiled: "Before the Titans came to this world, the planet Azeroth was controlled by the four basic elements. The Titans expelled those elemental lords and
Sealed the ancient gods.
We, the mountain giants, were created by a cooperation agreement signed between Khazgoroth and the gentlest elemental lord, Stonemother Therazane. So although the mountain giants are considered creations of the Titans, in fact we also believe in them.
With stone mother."
He sighed: "Losing contact with the Titans has not only affected the guardians of the Titans left in Azeroth, but also for us Titan creations, our faith has been shaken, and some companions choose to get close to the Stone Mother.
And the Princess of Elements, this is just their choice. And my tribe and I have always believed that the Titans will one day reappear in the world they created!"
Prell asked the question that had always existed: "So what is the origin of our kobolds? Are we a native race of Azeroth, or are we the remnants of some kind of Titan creation?"
Koluzik's eyes were a little complicated: "Are you sure you want to know this history?" Prell nodded, Niniel also nodded, Belga, Snu also nodded, and the kobolds following Niniel
Also nodding.
Obviously, the Gogo Cave, represented by Ninel, has been adhering to the agreement between Cenarius and their ancestors, guarding the seal deep in the cave. However, over the years, they no longer know the meaning of their mission and purpose, or maybe they originally
Their ancestors were able to dig and discover this earth spirit, and there was some inexplicable connection between them.
Prell also vaguely felt that the power in the sealed stone pillar had a slight echo with his own bloodline. He found it very strange and at the same time he was full of curiosity about the origin of the kobold.
Koruzik spoke again: "As the creations of the Titans, there are some of the earliest earth spirits that Kazgoros personally shaped, and they are also the most perfect and powerful earth spirits. But after the Pantheon left Azeroth, they built in the north
The Forge of Will is left to the guardians arranged in this world.
Naturally, the strength of the Guardians cannot be compared with that of the Titans. In order to follow the Titans' plan to shape the world, the Guardians created a batch of new earth spirits. However, due to their inexperience in operating the Forge of Will, they created a batch of inferior ones.
The earth spirit is also a creature with rock bones and skin.
The guardians once tried to destroy this batch of inferior creations, but one of the guardians, the guardian of life Freya, could not bear to destroy her creations, so she ordered the giantess Elonaya to take these inferior earth spirits to the present day.
An underground palace, Uldaman, was built in the desolate land.
When all the earth elves were cursed by the flesh and blood of the Old God, they fled from the north and finally came to Uldaman, where they fell into a long sleep. In the end, the earth elves degenerated into dwarves, and those inferior earth elves
It degenerates into a trogg.
As for you kobolds, you are the descendants of the group with the weakest vitality among the troggs that continued to degenerate."
After Koluzik finished speaking, he looked at Preel carefully. Preyer sighed: "So that's it!" He did not doubt Koluzik, because most of what the mountain giant said was consistent with what he knew.
Those are consistent.
He just sighed a little. According to Koruzik, the kobolds and the troggs still have a certain connection. They can be regarded as failed creations of the guardians left behind by the Titans, or the worst part of these failed defective products.
Came from degeneration.
Niner and other kobolds have never seen a trogg. When they heard that their ancestors were actually connected with the Creation Titans, a certain sense of pride appeared on their faces that left Prell speechless.
Thinking that one day his compatriots would really see the appearance of the trogg, Prell even wondered what their expressions would look like.
Koluzik is obviously a wise man among the mountain giants, one who is familiar with history. Although according to what he said, he himself is a new member of the mountain giant family, but Prell feels that since the mountain giants in Feralas
The clan sent out Koruzik. Apparently this giant had a way to deal with the sealed earth spirit in Gogo Cave.
So he asked: "So, Koruzik, how should we deal with this sealed earth spirit?" Koruzik said: "The earth spirit that has not been degenerated into a dwarf by the curse of flesh and blood is because it lost the relationship with the Titans and Guardians before falling asleep.
Because of the connection between them, they became very angry and lacked enough reason. Based on our past experience of mountain giants, the only way is to kill them."
His tone was a little sad: "This is the only way. The world has changed too much. We can't contact the guardians, and there is no way to reverse the will of the angry earth spirits. Maybe destroy and kill them. For them,
It’s also a relief!”
Niner murmured: "Are you going to destroy this sealed earth spirit?" Contrary to Prell's expectation, the owners of Gogo Cave are very kind and not so difficult to communicate with. Niner was a little sad:
"Are we going to kill this earth spirit that our tribe has protected for so many years?"
Prell comforted him and said: "If this earth spirit really loses his mind, I am afraid that after he awakens, he will completely turn the Stone Claw Mountains into a terrain like Thousand Needles, with clusters of tall stone pillars, forests, and mountains everywhere.
If all of them are destroyed, our people will also lose the land where they lived. We must prevent that from happening!"
Ninel, like Prell, has great trust in the mountain giant Koluzik. In any case, it is impossible for this mountain giant to go all the way from Feralas to the Stonetalon Mountains to fool their group of kobolds.
As a demigod of the wilderness whose essence of life has not yet been manifested, the reason why Cenarius sealed the sleeping earth spirit discovered by the kobolds was because, according to the legend passed down by the kobolds from generation to generation, this demigod was kind-hearted and could not be ignored.
I couldn't bear to kill a poor earth spirit who had lost his spiritual support, so I chose to seal it away.
This statement is in line with the rumors Cenarius has among the various races he has come into contact with. Only demigods who respect nature and love life would respect any individual life so much, no matter what his life form is.
Although he had great trust in Koluzik, Niner did not make an immediate decision. He asked: "If we must kill this sealed earth spirit, what should we do?"
Koluzik said cautiously: "I have to study the sealing circle carefully before I can find a way to deal with it." Nineel hesitated for a long time and said, "Let me think about it."
Koluzik nodded, and as compatriots and tribesmen who had separated and returned for the first time, Prell and his party were warmly entertained by the kobolds of Gogo Cave.
In fact, without the most direct survival conflict, any race is very hospitable. After all, communication with the outside world is a small spiritual pursuit and satisfaction for any intelligent race.
Niner asked about the Storm Mine again, and Prell sighed. He felt that there were some things that his mother clan should know. After all, from what he saw and understood, the strength of Gao Ge Cave had already
It can be considered relatively powerful.
In the Rolling Rock Valley, the kobolds have opened up two huge and far-reaching mines. One is the cave where the earth spirit is hidden. It is named after the name of the sealed earth spirit, Gogorok, and even other races that have dealt with the Rolling Rock Valley.
, the kobolds here are called the Gogo clan.
On the southwest side of the valley, the kobolds dug out another iron mine cave. They relied on trade with goblins and occasionally other races, such as night elves, tauren, etc., to work hard to maintain their survival.
There are nearly 10,000 kobolds distributed throughout the Rolling Rock Valley. Except for the branch that separated from the Gale Wind Mine, the kobolds actually separated at least twice on a large scale many years ago, but they have really found a place to live.
The only one that can survive on the ground is the Gale Wind Mine.
In other words, the entire Rolling Rock Valley is the territory of the kobolds in Goge Cave. Even though the kobolds' individual combat effectiveness is very weak, they can still be regarded as a significant force in the Stoneclaw Mountains.
Prell told Niniel and the other elders who came to Gogo Cave a series of things that happened in the Gale Valley from Gazruin to Gresu's time.
Knowing that their compatriots are being bullied by venture capital companies headed by goblins, the kobolds of Gogo Cave are filled with indignation, because they have only now discovered that since Prell's father Gaspar left with his brothers' families
, Gogo Cave was deceived by goblins twice in a row.
Because Gresu had deceived Gazruin once and asked this kind-hearted goblin businessman to come to negotiate with Gogo Cave, and hired more than a thousand kobolds in the name of hired workers to go to the Gale Wind Mine.
I thought that the tribesmen in the Gale Wind Mine would live well, but now it seems that the goblins did not strictly abide by the original agreement, which made Nineel extremely angry.
