MTL - War Hymn of Warcraft [WOW]-Chapter 3 Dark Portal
The Dark Portal is a space door located in the cursed land. It is currently closed, and its other end is connected to the hometown of the orcs, the Broken Continent—Outland.
Speaking of Outland, I have to mention the world view of Azeroth. In the world of Azeroth, all the worlds are floating continents (Zhan Zhixing has always been curious about what the other half of the continent is), and a group of people who call themselves Titans are constantly going back and forth between the worlds to create conditions for the emergence of life. When the Genesis Titan constructed Azeroth, it discovered a high-energy lake, so it was transformed into a "water pump" that can absorb the energy in the twisting void around it - the Well of Eternity. The destroyer of the universe, the Burning Legion wants to use this well to reach the "unspeakable" secret, so they have been trying to invade Azeroth.
However, when the Titans construct the world, they will create a planetary shield based on the world itself, which can greatly weaken the strength of the strong who enter the shield. Because of the endless energy of the Well of Eternity, Azeroth's protective shield can make the demons of the Burning Legion lose most of their power, so the demons want to create a portal through the Well of Eternity to invade Azeroth.
The best way they can think of is to invade Azeroth by manipulating other worlds and build portals on the Well of Eternity. Therefore, Draenor, the hometown of the orcs and the temporary residence of the Draenei, was chosen. After a series of events, the originally peaceful orcs drank the blood of demons and turned into violent warriors. In the war twenty years ago, they opened the Dark Portal and invaded Azeroth.
But afterwards, the powerful force field of space tore apart the starting point of the gate, Draenor, the hometown of the orcs, leaving only a few fragmented continents quietly floating in the twisting void. Several heroes of Azeroth risked their lives to close the Dark Portal before the space stance could affect Azeroth. However, after this, Draenor's relatively weak planetary shield disappeared completely, and became a back garden where demons came and went at will.
In other words, if the Dark Portal opens, the entire Azeroth will inevitably face the invasion of demons—of course there will be no particularly powerful demons such as Kil'jaeden, but at least it will have a great impact on the stability of the continent. big threat. Therefore, when Velen said this, everyone present was extremely surprised.
"The current Outland is an extremely important strategic location," Velen explained, looking at everyone's suspicious eyes, "Even if we prevent the opening of the Dark Portal this time, what about the next time? All of you who are present must understand the reason, why not push the boat along the way and directly capture the other end of the Dark Portal."
Hearing Velen's words, Varian also frowned and thought for a long time, and then said: "That's true, but the loss is a bit too much..."
The leaders of the remaining races looked at each other and nodded. After all, it is not a good thing to let Outland remain in the hands of demons. Maybe this time the Dark Portal has not been opened, but no one can say that there will be no prophecy next time. The Dark Portal will open without any precautions. What is it like.
As a result, the leaders began to discuss how to recover the foreign domain. Zhan Zhixing felt bored, so he found an armchair and sat down, intending to catch up on a little sleep.
"...We don't know anything about Outer Domain." After discussing for a long time and thinking about many methods, they all felt that something was lacking. Tyrande hesitated, "I don't have any information to use, and I don't even know how many troops are on the other side. Why? Can the recovery work be completed?"
Everyone was silent because of this. It has to be said that this is a serious problem. Without intelligence, many strategies cannot be activated. At this moment, Jaina suddenly snapped her fingers.
"We can open a portal," Jaina's words caught everyone's attention. "It's the same principle as the Dark Portal, but it's more unstable—it's enough to just teleport a group of people. With some communication equipment, we will be able to obtain intelligence over there."
"But, the space anchor there..." Although Vereesa is not a mage, her husband is also the leader of Dalaran, so she naturally has some research on magic. The most important thing in the establishment of the portal is the space anchor on the other side. Jaina also realized her problem at this time, hesitated for a moment and shut up again.
"We draenei have spatial anchor points in various parts of Outland, but we are not majors in arcane arts, so we are not capable of building cross-world portals." Velen added, "As long as the mages of your alliance can open up the two The barrier of this world, the problem of space anchor point can be solved by me.”
After hearing Velen's words, Jaina and Vereesa looked at each other, and then said: "I can't guarantee it... Let's use it as a backup plan first, and ask Ronin after he comes."
As soon as Jaina's voice fell, Luo Ning's hearty laughter came from outside the door: "Jianna, there are so many leaders here, what else must I do?"
The door slowly opened, and the leader of Dalaran, Luo Ning, walked in. It turned out that there was a magic accident in Dalaran just now, so Luo Ning opened a portal and went back to deal with it. After Dalaran was done, he hurried over.
After Jaina's explanation, Luo Ning frowned, and then said: "The communication aspect is easier to solve, but about the portal of Outland... Now the portal of darkness has not been opened, and there is no connection point between the two worlds. It is trouble. Although it is not impossible to open a door to the outer domain, the stability of the door is a big problem. Combat professionals all contain powerful power. With our current technology, we can only teleport ordinary people. "
"Our SI7 can help with this matter," Valian interjected, "SI7 has a group of ordinary people who are specially trained for spying on intelligence, and we can rely on them for general terrain mapping. But those dangerous places , still needs a team of professionals to spy, but as long as they are professionals, they cannot pass through the portal..." Varian found himself in an endless loop, silently bowing his head in thought.
Jaina suddenly grasped the key point: "I can only teleport ordinary people because of the energy in professionals, right? If a professional has no energy storage at all, then can he pass through the portal? As long as one of them has no energy The fluctuating hero rank [Note 1], don’t we need to send so many people there?”
"Theoretically speaking, yes," Luo Ning nodded, but then shook his head, "How can professionals be called professionals if they don't store energy in their bodies, let alone a more powerful hero rank? Is it okay to exist?"
"Who said there is no one, at least we have one here, and it is a powerful hero-level combat power." Jaina covered her mouth and smiled, looked at Varian, and secretly pointed to the direction where Zhan Zhixing was. Refers to 【Note 2】. I don't know when it started, Zhan Zhixing had already fallen asleep, and he didn't even feel that everyone started to notice him. Varian turned his head and saw only a sleepy face with a few drops of saliva around his mouth.
Varian shrugged, walked to Zhan Zhixing's side, hammered Zhan Zhixing's back hard, and replied Jaina: "It depends on his wishes. When he and I returned to Stormwind City, we Well, I won't force what he doesn't want to do."
Zhan Zhixing let out an "ah" in pain, stood up and glared at Varian: "Lagash, you disturbed my sleep again! How many times have I told you that I am a moral person, you are not allowed to peep while I am sleeping! "
Seeing Zhan Zhixing's roar, Varian raised his eyebrows and said to Jaina: "Look at him, do you think I can command him?"
"..." It was the first time for the other leaders to see the people who treated their king like this, and they all expressed their eye-opening.
Shouted at Varian, the sleepy Zhan Zhixing turned around and saw that everyone present was looking at him, startled, and hurriedly said: "Where did we just talk... By the way, the dark The door must be opened, there is no doubt about it!"
Everyone: "..."
Zhan Zhixing suddenly felt that there would definitely be three black lines above everyone's heads after the scene was frozen, he scratched his head and pretended to have a simple and honest expression: "Then what, I mean, if you don't want to open the door of darkness, you don't have to. It's open…"
Varian, dumbfounded, explained to Zhan Zhixing what happened just now. Although Zhan Zhixing and Varian were always fighting, but at the critical moment, he still gave himself the face of the king, and agreed without saying a word.
Jaina stared at the saliva at the corner of Zhan Zhixing's mouth for a long time, and felt that she couldn't stand it anymore, so she pointed to the corner of her mouth with her finger and signaled to Zhan Zhixing. Zhan Zhixing quickly wiped his mouth, turned his head and said to Varian: "I just dreamed that we should go to dinner after the meeting, is everyone tired of talking and going to eat something from the slaughtered lamb? I I always thought that although the slaughtered lamb was run by a sorcerer, his roasted whole lamb was really good."
Everyone: "..."
Velen suddenly couldn't stand the paladin who was really offline, and turned to Varian and said, "Why haven't the shops opened by warlocks been banned? Could it be that Warlocks are actually legalized in Stormwind City? Your Majesty, this is no different from Seek skin with a tiger!"
After hearing Velen's words, Zhan Zhixing straightened his expression, and then said: "The prophet's words are wrong. There is no good or evil in power, only the soul. If warlocks can use evil energy to resist the invasion of the Burning Legion, or even vice versa To control demons, why don't we bring warlocks under our command? Stormwind City did officially establish a Shadow Council, but the candidates in it are all determined people selected by us through thousands of choices, and it is absolutely impossible to be darkened by the evil energy. corroded."
All other races have heard that Varian intends to use the evil energy, and also know that there are warlocks in Stormwind City, but they have never heard of this passage. After hearing this, Prophet Velen murmured to himself: "The only good and evil is the soul... Yes, if Kil'jaeden and Archimonde had no ambitions, they would not have been used by Sargeras... We Ai Rui..."
Velen suddenly realized that he had said too much inadvertently, and quickly shut up. Fortunately, the leaders present did not notice him, because Tyrande was asking Jaina: "You mean he is the one who didn't Hero level with energy fluctuations? Not to mention that he is only half-hero level now, it is impossible for him to pass through the narrow world barrier with his surging holy power alone."
After hearing Tyrande's words, Zhan Zhixing said, "Surging holy power? What if this is the case..." Saying this, Zhan Zhixing let go of the control he had been maintaining on the holy power, and turned all the holy power Return to the system.
However, in Tyrande's eyes, he saw that Zhan Zhixing's holy power kept falling, and finally, from the perspective of the energy field, Zhan Zhixing was not even comparable to ordinary people in Azeroth, so he couldn't help being stunned.
Feeling that the holy power he controlled had been returned to the system, Zhan Zhixing patted his arm and said, "Okay, now I'm an ordinary person."
Looking at Zhan Zhixing's relaxed expression, and looking at the indifferent expressions of Zhan Zhixing's acquaintances such as Varian and Jaina, everyone else felt that they must have focused on racial internal affairs for too long, and the news was too outdated !
