Shadow Trails in Azeroth

In the war hall, Odin was sitting on his throne, holding an overly large golden cup and pouring delicious mead into his mouth.

The Lord of War just enjoyed a battle.

He fought with the most powerful warrior in the world of Draenor. It turned out that Odin, as a "godly creature", indeed had the ability to crush him. Grom barely caused any effective damage to the Lord of War.

The generous Odin even allowed Grom to enter "residual health" to activate the power of Gorehowl.

The furious Hellscream's slashes only left a few new scars on Odin's arms.

This kind of crushing power is not only because Odin is born powerful, but also because the Lord of War has an outrageous amount of combat experience.

As the strongest warrior among the Titan Guardians, Odin fought the entire War of Dominion from beginning to end nearly a million years ago. The first battle was with his brother Tyr against Ragnaros, the most powerful servant of the Old God.

And unlike Blake, who fought against a power clone of the Elemental Lord, they directly led the army into the Fire Realm and defeated the Fire Demon King head-on on its territory.

Later, after the Titan Aman'Thul personally crushed Y'Shaarj, the demon of the Seven Evils, Odin and his wise brother Ra led the other guardians to defeat the remaining three ancient gods with great morale. , and seal them all.

It can be said that Odin personally witnessed and participated in the collapse of the Dark Empire Century, and it was he who single-handedly ushered in a new era in the world of Azeroth.

Look at their opponents, and then look at the opponents Grom Hellscream has faced since his debut.

You can understand why the most powerful mortals are still unable to match the power of the King of War. Of course, an important reason for Grom’s “failure to kill the gods” is that Odin, as the god of warriors, masters the two powers of “wrath” and “war”. A priesthood.

This makes Grom feel as if he is fighting against his own source of power when fighting against him.

How to fight this?

In short, Odin satisfied Hellscream's desire for challenge and stretched his muscles. Coupled with the freedom that finally arrived, the triple joy made the King of War feel happy today.

At this time, when explaining Tire's magical power to Finna who was invited, she became much more patient.

While drinking, he spoke to Fenner and Black under the throne with the tone of an old man recalling the past:

"My brothers and I are the 'managers' of the great Pantheon left in this world. The Titans have designed a perfect blueprint for the life process of Azeroth, and our mission is to maintain the progress of this blueprint. .

In order to ensure that we can fulfill our mission, and because we were born at a time when the dark empire forged from the void was rampant in this world, the great Titans gave us their power.

to guarantee victory and a guaranteed future.

Rai and I draw our power from Aman'Thul, the Father of the Gods, the leader of the Pantheon, whose wisdom cannot be matched by the thoughts of all the stars combined.

And he also controls the power of time, one of the elements that make up the universe.

Aman'Thul's gift made Rai and I the most powerful beings in the City of Creation. But my brother Tyr is my equal in strength.

Because his power comes from Aggramar, the protector and avenger of the pantheon. "

Odin said this name with reverence. He drank the wine in his hand and emphasized loudly:

"After the fall of the Bronze Titan Sargeras, Lord Aggramar became the strongest warrior of the Pantheon, traveling among the stars and fighting the minions of the Dark Titan.

Even fighting the Dark Titan himself.

The power of Lord Aggramar shocked the entire stars, but the most admirable thing is his fearless courage. He will not be afraid of any threats, let alone stop fighting because of strong resistance and hopeless gap. .

His spirit inspired the entire galaxy to resist the tyranny of the Dark Titan.

Granted and favored by Lord Aggramar, my brother Tyr also inherited that courage, strength, and sense of justice.

But a conspiracy against all Titan Guardians trapped me in the Halls of Valor and left my brother Tyr to die alone. "

Speaking of this sad thing, Odin crushed the golden cup in his hand, gritted his teeth and said:

"If I had been in Tire at that time, I would not have encountered such a tragic tragedy, and the five weak dragons who were personally introduced by him did not show up when faced with the crisis in Tire!

They betrayed Tyr's trust and proved my opinion of them. "

"Uh, let me interrupt. Let me state first that I am not saying good things to the guardian dragons."

Blake raised his hand and interrupted Odin's description. He said:

"When Tyr stole the Norgannon Disc and escaped with the Titans who were unwilling to surrender, there were many people helping him along the way, otherwise he would not have been able to escape to Tirisfal Glades so easily under pursuit. .

The Aspect Dragon Legion had not yet taken shape at that time, and the Lord of War was undergoing a large-scale transformation from the ancestral dragon to the giant dragon. This was the weakest moment.

They also helped along the way. Although they failed to save Lord Tyr, the fighting power of the five dragon kings at that time could not stop the two strongest generals of Krasis who survived the Dark Empire era even if they tried their best.

That was an opponent that could only be defeated by forcing Tyr to risk his own life and self-destruction. If they really tried to attack, it would only increase casualties.

Even if they wanted to sacrifice their lives, Lord Tyr would not allow it.

After all, he has to think about the future of this world. Under the cruel reality that the guardian system has collapsed, only the guardian dragons can continue to protect the order of the world on your behalf.

Facts have proved that Lord Tyr's arrangement was correct.

After the Age of the Guardians came to an end, the dragons fulfilled their mission and guarded the world until the War of the Ancients broke out. To be honest, your anger is a little unreasonable.

But I can understand that you are just angry because your brother died in the battle. If it were me, I would have the same thought. "

"Stop pretending there, there is no dragon here to watch your performance."

Odin's one eye glared at Black, and he said:

"But this matter has passed, and I don't want to talk about it now. Let's go back to Tyr's power."

"No, please finish telling the story."

Fenna listened with great interest to Odin's personal description of the grievances and hatreds between the Titan creations. This idiot warrior who liked to listen to stories said with an unhappy face:

"How can you pause in the middle of a story? Isn't this deliberately to titillate?"

"Let your brother tell you the rest. He also knows that hidden history, and I don't want to mention that sad thing anymore."

The Lord of War waved his hand and rejected Fenner's request.

He sat up straight, became serious, and said to Fenner:

"I have already said that the source of Tyr's power is the guardian Aggramar. Tyr inherited divine power and priesthood from the guardian. This is a concept that is difficult for mortals to understand.

You can understand 'the priesthood' as the crystallization of power formed after a certain concept reaches a very profound stage of understanding at the power level. It has symbolic characteristics that are higher than the power of the material world.

Perhaps in the words of the spellcasters, it is the understanding and description of a certain truth.

For example, my "war" priesthood is a field summarized by my understanding of "combat" itself. It represents the deepest understanding of the concept of combat in the world of Azeroth.

No one in this world understands fighting and war better than me!

So this truth blessed me and gave me its own divine power.

If one day, a being appears who understands battle more deeply than I do, then my priesthood of war will be weakened. If that being continues to understand this concept and I stop moving forward, then I will gradually lose this priesthood. .

It's like"

Odin couldn't think of a suitable word to describe this concept for a while, and Blake added faintly:

"Crown of Power!"

"right!"

The King of War's eyes lit up, he patted his knees and said:

"It's the 'Crown'! Every power that can be described will only condense into a crown, which is what we call the 'Priesthood'.

As I said just now, Tyr inherited courage, justice, and strength from Lord Aggramar.

Strength itself is an all-encompassing concept, and it does not give birth to a priesthood. Therefore, Tyr's priesthood only has two "courage" and "justice". "

Having said this, Odin looked condescendingly at Finna, who had bright eyes. His single eye examined the elf warrior, and then glanced at Black beside her.

After a long time, the Lord of War said:

"Fenna Golden Sword, because of your experience and your choices, you have no chance of 'justice', so in the future growth, focus on the concept of 'courage' as a priesthood.

The power of Tyr in you is not strong, and focusing on one area will allow you to master this power faster.

After you get the hang of it, you go to the place of creation. Enter the Forge of Will there. If the forge has not been destroyed, you can find Tyr's backup of wisdom in it.

That backup data will teach you to harness this power for your own use. "

"Why!"

Fenna asked unhappily with her hands on her hips:

"How come I have nothing to do with justice? I think I am very righteous. If I see someone robbing someone on the street, I will help them. I will never bully the old, weak, sick or disabled.

I think I can also pursue justice, which sounds very powerful.

Lord Odin, please show me again.

I think I still have hope, maybe you just read it wrong. "

"That's not your problem, kid."

Odin sighed helplessly.

Blake, who was beside Fenna, also explained in a faint tone:

"It's my problem. If you want to pursue justice, you have to stay away from me, like a piece of extremely white paper that cannot be stained with any ink.

You have to choose between me and the Priesthood of Justice, my sister. "

"ah?"

Fenner was dumbfounded.

She looked at Odin, and the King of War nodded speechlessly and said:

"A righteous man cannot walk with evil. Contact, surrender, and peace are not allowed. Otherwise, Tyr would not have had to do what he did when he stole the platinum disc and then died heroically in battle."

"Then I don't want it."

Fenner took hold of her stinky brother's hand. She pulled Blake tightly and said:

"He is my younger brother. Although he is very bad, I cannot give up on him. But Lord Odin, how should we pursue the concept of courage?"

"Based on my experience, challenge a strong enemy."

Odin laughed and said:

"The more invincible the opponents are, the more they cannot give in! Even if you know you have failed, you must keep moving forward. Even if you end up with nothing accomplished in the end, you cannot give up your persistence.

This is the clearest illustration of courage and the most straightforward expression of warriors.

Come on, come forward, Fenna.

I want to give you my divine power, because it all comes from the power of the Pantheon. It and Tyr’s divine power can transform into each other, but you are needed.”

"No, Lord Odin, she does not need your power."

Blake waved his hand and said:

"It is most suitable for Fenner to draw power from the Shield of Aggramar. Those two powers truly come from the same source."

"Well, that's okay too."

Odin nodded and said:

"If you have a way to extract Lord Aggramar's divine power, try not to destroy the integrity of the Holy Shield. There is no way to charge the Holy Shield when Ulduar is closed."

"Well, now that we're talking about this issue."

Blake pursed his lips and asked:

"The Tidestone in my hand has been broken, and it also contains the power of the curse. Can it be recast in the Land of Creation?"

"Theoretically yes."

Odin answered frankly:

"But that requires the concerted efforts of all the guardians of Ulduar. You are also well aware of the current bad situation in the Land of Creation. Therefore, if you want to recast the Tidestone of Golganais, you must first remove the curse. Next, you Know what to do.”

"I know how to work for you."

Blake curled his lips, pulled Fenner to thank Odin, and then turned to leave.

A few minutes later, they found the room where Dai Lin temporarily lived. The admiral had already known from the pirates that Fenna was coming to contact the Holy Shield, so he made preparations in advance.

When Fenner and Blake came in, the admiral, who was trimming his beard, pointed to the table.

It means, the stuff is there, you can play with it yourself.

"whispering sound"

The stupid warrior curled his lips, and without even looking at his father, he pulled the pirate to the Shield of Aggramar, and Black arranged a divine power extraction ceremony for her.

Fenner cut her palm open and touched the surface of the holy shield. After a few seconds, she let out a cry of surprise, jerked her hand away, and hid in Blake's arms as if she was frightened.

Her long ears were trembling, she pointed at the holy shield in front of her and stammered:

"There's something in there, there's a burning giant looking at me, he's in league with the devil!"

"Shhhhhh! Keep your voice down!"

Blake hurriedly covered Fenner's mouth, which was speaking freely, to prevent her from telling the secret of the Shield of Aggramar. Dai Lin, who was shaving with his command knife, also turned his head when he heard this.

He looked at Fenner and Blake, and after a few seconds, he whispered:

"Did you see it too? The burning temple, the flaming giant, a whole world of demons, and the mysterious message in the stars. I thought I saw it wrong at the time.

What does that mean? "

"It's just a prophecy of the future, just an illusion."

Blake waved his hand and said lightly:

"It will not affect the use of the Holy Shield. There is no need to worry at all."

After saying that, the pirate looked at Fenner and asked with bright eyes:

"Let me ask you, have you learned that set of sword skills?"

"fencing?"

Fenna was still a little shocked. When she heard Blake's question, she rubbed her swollen head. After a few seconds, she said with some uncertainty:

"It seems... indeed... but he left too many messages, some of which were very strange. I also saw him standing among the stars, playing with mud and pinching people, and then throwing stones into a world covered by plants."

"That's not important. Let me ask you, is this the starting position of swordsmanship?"

Blake picked up a table knife and made a strange gesture. Fenner's eyes lit up and she said:

"Yes, yes, that's it, but you have to use a two-handed sword."

"Ha, I knew you were indeed a genius! Fenna."

The pirate was very happy and kissed Fenna hard on the face. He said:

"Lord Aggramar's Tesarak swordsmanship, the breaker of enemies across the stars, you actually learned how to walk around, practice it a few times, and then

teach me.

Don't worry, your work won't be in vain. "
