"I had some doubts about Lelan's talent before, but now I confirm that my adopted daughter may indeed have some kind of "diplomacy" bonus, and she can convince the stubborn dwarves to do what we want in one day.

Hiss, if my battle brother Malderan and I were not both pure Warrior of Light, I would have doubted whether Lelan inherited some strange "succubus" talent from her father."

When walking out of the portal guided by Aegwynn himself, Diakum was still complaining to Neri next to him about the feat accomplished by Lelan.

The Archbishop, who is still a little sleepy because of the fatigue of "discussing (gui) sutras (hun) with Vigilant" last night, strongly agrees with this statement. Not only does Dick doubt it, she also doubts whether Lelan's talent is in the wrong place.

"Light Weavers, block this place!"

The accompanying Captain Fariya did not participate in the complaints against Lelan. She looked around, and then gave an order, thirty fully armed Lightforged Warrior and Wutai Lightforged War Mech strode forward, and while the elite Ironforge guards in front looked at them in surprise and with a hint of vigilance, they quickly took over the peripheral defense of Uldaman Archeology Excavation Site.

The dwarves had indeed received the order before, so under the watchful eyes of Brann Bronzebeard Prince, the brave Bronzebeard Warriors did not resist when facing this group of "Blue Skins giants", but peacefully handed over temporary control of this important Excavation Site.

"The dwarf diggers have not left. They are resting in a camp less than five kilometers away from here. However, the dwarves have indeed kept their promise, and no organized military threats have been found around them."

Saloras used her exaggerated psychic power to investigate the area around the rust-red Badlands. She reported in a low voice:

"However, there is a group of low-level black dragons operating in the mountains deep in this area. The highest biological power is only legendary creatures. They are not a big threat and can be solved by a team of fanatics."

"It's not necessary. Let them continue to stay there and engage in those conspiracies that can't be brought to light. There will always be greedy adventurers who come to trouble them for various reasons."

Diakum looked like a general. He looked around and then at Aegwynn.

The latter took back the Heart of Azeroth that she had given to Lelan. At this time, she was holding the golden pendant and seemed to be sensing something. After a few seconds, she said:

"Right under our feet, it is divided into two underground palaces, the inner and outer!

The dwarves have dug up the outer dungeon but have not penetrated deep into the core area, nor have they destroyed the "biological seal" set by Titan Keepers. They have not made a big mistake yet and there is still a chance to recover, but what we are looking for is in the inner dungeon, where there is a complex Titan defense system.

But it can't stop our team."

Aegwynn glanced at the entourage. Including her and Old Meryl, including Twins and Diakum, there were five demigods in a team, including T and breasts. Output, there are really few places in the world that can stop them, not to mention the accompanying four dragons and Archbishop Nali. With this scale, they can try to attack Titan City Ulduar.'s peripheral sentries head-on.

The "Uldaman" in front of us is just a marginal "biological laboratory" in Titan Guardian System.

It's important, but not that important.

"Fareeya, take people to guard the outside. Don't rush into the depths of the underground palace. If you really need help, I will send you a "gathering" command."

Dick gave some instructions to his disciples. Fareeya, the outstanding commander, nodded and glanced at the old dwarf next to him who looked at her strangely.

She always felt that Brann Bronzebeard's eyes were strange.

But old Bronzebeard is not one of those nasty dwarves. He has no special interest in people with hoofs. This strange look is not directed at Captain Fariya, but at all Draenei here equally.

God, you are so tall!

Brann Bronzebeard, who is just over 1.5 meters tall, considers himself "tall" among his compatriots, but now he feels like a "real dwarf" in front of these Draenei. This completely arouses the dwarves' obsession with height and makes Brann feel very insecure.

If any of these hoofed people makes a mistake, they will be trampled to death.

"Hello, Master Brann."

Diakum in human form bent down and shook hands with Brann Bronzebeard. He smiled and said:

"I have long heard that you are the most outstanding explorer and enthusiast of the Eastern Continent. It is indeed true when I see you today. We will keep our promise and take you into the real secret room of Uldaman. It has been sealed for at least 30,000 years, and the secrets contained in it are destined to make you return home with great rewards today."

"I believe in your commitment. I heard about what you did at the Stormwind Kingdom. You are trustworthy and good people."

Although Brann Bronzebeard is an upright dwarf, being blown a rainbow fart by an alien Saint also made him a little happy. He tried his best to keep a straight face and said seriously:

"But before entering Uldaman, I have to figure out one thing. What are you planning to do here in such a big battle today?

You must know that this is most likely the birthplace of dwarves and gnomes!

It is here that Lord Khaz'goroth, the god of forging, wields his omnipotent forging hammer, forging dwarves from the fire and the earth, and bestows his amazing wisdom on the dwarves. However, something happened later that caused us to leave the residence of the god of forging.

This is not just our myth!

Our excavations at Badlands over the years have proven that this myth is not unfounded, we."

"No, the dwarf's Origin is not here, but you and the dwarf were indeed once brothers, and even the ancestors of humans were your ancient brothers."

Diakum shook his head and said:

"Uldaman is a "sad place" for dwarves, but I will not tell you the specific reasons directly. I cannot deprive you of the right to find out the truth on your own.

As for what we're going to do here.

We won't destroy it, you can rest assured of that.

We are going to take away some things and powers that will have a serious impact on the world. After we leave, the dwarf archaeologists can continue to unearth the wealth and treasures hidden here. We have no interest in those things."

Brann Bronzebeard fell silent.

He felt the kindness of the alien Saint in front of him.

Although he is not as tough as his two brothers, Warrior, nor is he a Shaman, but Brann can be considered an excellent hunter, so he can sense the terrifying power aura in Diakum. The other party can arbitrarily destroy everything here. The dwarves cannot stop him and his terrifying army of tall hoofed men, but he is still willing to resolve this matter peacefully.

Brann knows that he cannot rudely ask for more after the other party shows his kindness.

So he sighed, patted his record book, and said:

"I will go in with you and record everything I see, but all antiquities related to the dwarf Origin must be transported back to Ironforge."

"No problem, we agreed."

Diakum nodded, but when he entered the ruins along the cave dug by the dwarf archaeologists, he suddenly remembered something very important, and said to Neri, whom he trusted most:

"You and Lelan serve as the temporary guardians of Mr. Brann Bronzebeard. You must ensure his safety and at the same time avoid letting him touch anything he shouldn't touch! Take good care of his "magic hands" that are often not controlled by his mind.

There are security measures left by Titan Keepers here. To be honest, even Lady Aegwynn cannot guarantee that we will reach the depths of Uldaman's underground palace safely."

Neri It is rare to see Diakum pay so much attention to a mortal whom he has just met, and even personally assign her to "take care of" her. However, as someone who is connected to Diakum, the Archbishop can indeed feel some concern of Dick.

So she held Red Throat's Fang, glanced at the old dwarf beside her who was debugging various equipment, and nodded seriously.

However, at this point in time, the dwarves' excavation has not destroyed Uldaman's "biological sealing device", so the underground palace is not yet full of manic "Troggs". There is not much danger all the way down, until they reach the deepest point that the dwarf diggers can reach, and a strange white wall blocks the front.

"Look! That's proof of the dwarf myth."

Wearing a miner's hat, Blake stepped forward and stroked the cracks in the wall made of special material. He said loudly:

"This crack is just high enough to allow a group of dwarves to pass through. We previously found a sophisticated stone hammer here, which was the weapon used by our ancestors. But there seems to be some force on the other side of the wall preventing us from returning, which has resulted in excavations over the years that can only be carried out on the outside."

"You guys can't get in, so you're trying to blow up this magical wall?"

Yrel stepped forward to check. After seeing the huge amount of dwarf explosives piled nearby, Little Hooves exclaimed:

"Is the dwarven archeology style so wild and hardcore?"

"Ahem, that's just the plan of the "radical archaeologists". I have always disagreed with such crude archaeological methods."

Brann Bronzebeard blushed, waved his hand and said:

"It was precisely because of my obstruction that the plan to blow up the wall was stopped before."

"But you can't always stop it! Those stubborn dwarf archaeologists can always find a way to complete this matter secretly when you are not around."

Chromie, dressed as a dwarf, leaned on a staff that was taller than his own, and sarcastically said in a low voice:

"You will definitely do this. If these explosives cannot blow through the walls of Titan Keepers, they will keep adding more explosives until those crazy guys among you bury enough explosives here, and then blow up the biological prison area of Uldaman, causing the troublesome things inside to "escape", directly triggering a disaster that almost wiped out the dwarfs.

Alas, the dwarfs will have bad luck for eight lifetimes as neighbors with you rough-and-tumble fellows."

"Hey, don't talk about these "things that never happened" in front of mortals!"

Tarecgosa knocked Chromie on the head and whispered:

"We are all here, and we will not allow the "official history" you have seen happen again."

"Humph, I just warned them not to do similar stupid things in the future."

Chromie curled his lips.

This troublemaker started to "let himself go" a little bit after leaving Bronze Dragonflight's organization.

A few days ago, she told them all what would happen to the other four dragons in the future. As a result, this "Bronze Dragons ghost story" frightened the four female dragons. After all, in Chromie's "ghost story", except for Mylune, who "just died of his mother and became an orphan", the endings of the other three were not very good.

"Go in."

Diakum stretched out his hand and clenched it into a fist, felt the thickness of the wall, and then punched it. As the old dwarf watched with wide eyes, the high wall that had blocked them for more than ten years turned into powdery fragments and collapsed in an instant.

In the smoke and dust, an ancient wind that had been covered in dust for 30,000 years blew out, making Brann's eyes light up.

"Yrel, you, Lelan and Tarecgosa are going to deal with the "Titan Construct failed products" in the biological prison field, and get rid of all those Stonejaw Trogg who have no sense at all and only have a desire for destruction."

Diakum pointed to the edge of the underground palace in front of him and said:

"That was the "error" left by the Titan Keeperss. They should have corrected it tens of thousands of years ago, but they insisted on leaving these destroyers to cause trouble."

"What is Stonejaw Trogg?"

Brann Bronzebeard asked curiously, Diakum turned back to him and said:

"They are your "distant relatives". To be precise, they are the "failures" before your ancestors were shaped. Do you want to follow them and see? See what kind of disaster those guys will bring to Khaz Modan if they are released by you."

Old Bronzebeard didn't believe in evil, so he ran over and took a few glances. When he came back, his whole forehead was covered with cold sweat. He looked at Chromie with a proud look in his eyes.

This guy didn't seem to be talking nonsense just now.

If those Stonejaw Troggs with red eyes who only know destruction and destruction are allowed to come out, Khaz Modan will really be in ruins.

However, this "disaster that never happened" is not even a trouble for Vigilant now. He does not even need to deal with the source of the disaster personally, but continues to move forward.

Everyone was walking in a dead underground palace, and everywhere they could see those giants made of rocks maintaining ancient regular actions, like mindless security guards. But as soon as they saw Brann Bronzebeard, these powerful giants would roar and rush over to try to kill him, and then be crushed by the giant dragons under Vigilant.

"Why do they hate me so much?"

The old dwarf was puzzled. This time it was Aegwynn who answered his questions. Star Soul Guardian said:

"You are the product of Curse of Flesh, Brann Bronzebeard. These guardians will execute all "infected people" according to their master's orders. Your ancestors did come from this place, but you might as well guess, "Highmountain King" Why did Modimus Anvilmar escape from here with the awakened dwarves?

Don't ask me what "Curse of Flesh" is, there is enough information deep in the underground palace to explain your doubts to you.

Others are ready to fight, Titan Keepers is right in front!

That big guy sealed himself up."

Aegwynn pointed forward. After everyone was ready, she stepped forward to check the miniature model of the Uldaman underground palace, then picked up a dusty staff from the side and inserted it into the hole in the center of the model.

A ray of light came from nowhere, and after being reflected by the focal mirrors hidden in all directions, it finally shot the golden Arc Light towards the closed stone door ahead.

With the clicking sound and the shaking of the ground, something huge was awakened.

In the horrified gaze of Brann Bronzebeard, a terrifying Stone Colossus, who was more than ten meters tall, walked out like a rock with a heavy war hammer. Her physical body was also wearing gorgeous golden outer armor and robes, and even complete boots and gauntlets. At first glance, she was an intelligent stone statue.

But she slept for so long that she was a little confused when she was awakened by an external force.

She looked at the people in front of her while holding her war hammer. After noticing Brann Bronzebeard, she exclaimed:

"Earthen, how did you become infected like this? Wait! You are not Uldaman's security director Modimus Anvilmar, you are his descendant?"

Old Bronzebeard was so shocked that his mouth opened.

The female giant's first sentence contained information that was terrifying to the dwarf, but he had no more time to ask because the female giant had already noticed the golden jewelry in Aegwynn's hand.

"Heart of Azeroth? Hasn't this failed creation been sealed?"

She angrily said:

"This is not something you should hold! Sea Witch, didn't your master and chief administrator Odin teach you not to touch important experimental objects casually? And this blue giant, you have the violent aura of chaotic life!

You are exactly the kind of "source of chaos" that Odin is most wary of.

I also smelled a hint of void. Are you contaminated with void while walking Holy Light?

Oh, pathetic guys, you shouldn't have set foot on this sacred ground!

Now, return your precious test subjects and get out! I won't warn you a second time!"

Facing the female giant's stern scolding and feeling her terrifying power, Brann Bronzebeard clutched the shotgun in his hand, but he doubted whether the weapon that could kill Gnoll could protect him in this situation.

But Diakum stepped forward expressionlessly. He didn't even take out his weapon and stopped Aegwynn from launching an attack immediately.

He scolded:

"Ironaya, follower of Tyr, traitor of Titan Keepers!

Stop pretending!

I know exactly what happened to you and Archaedas in Ulduar, and why you sealed yourself in Uldaman. Those dwarfs and dwarves who were twisted into carbon-based life forms by Curse of Flesh were released privately by you, right?

With their power, it is impossible to break the seal of Uldaman and escape to the outside world.

You can pretend here that you are a loyal servant of Titan, but we all know that once Ulduar learns that you are still alive, the pursuit of "King of Wisdom" Loken will come immediately.

Your compatriots are more eager to kill you and your companions than I am.

"Forger" Archaedas has been forging these stone statues day and night all these years not to start a war, but to protect himself and protect the terrible secret left by Tyr.

You two loyal wretches!

I am "Enemy of the Titans", but so are you two."

Vigilant waved his hand, and old Lich stepped forward with a hint of vigilance, opened the weapon box he was carrying, and revealed Silver Hand Warhammer inside.

When seeing this sacred object from Titan Keepers, Ironaya's stone face revealed a very human sadness.

Finally, under the gaze of everyone, the powerful Ironaya dropped the giant hammer in her hand, and she collapsed, as if she had lost all her goals and strength and her true identity was revealed, and she lay helpless on the ground.

At this moment, she no longer looked like a strong and determined guardian, but looked like those confused and even cowardly mortals.

She said to Aegwynn in a lonely tone:

"You got Heart of Azeroth, so Star Soul wakes up? You who were appointed "World Spokesperson" know everything?"

"Not all, but enough for me to know the truth about Titans."

Aegwynn looked at this giantess with overly vivid emotions curiously, and she said:

"But Diakum said that you two are "traitors", which makes me very curious. You and the forger seem to have some hidden agenda hiding here?"

"That's very complicated and I can't explain it in a sentence or two."

Ironaya stroked Silver Hand Warhammer who was brought to her, she sighed and said:

"But you came here with the war hammer of Master Tyr, and you also have Heart of Azeroth. This is enough to prove that you are not the enemy that Archaedas and I are wary of.

I noticed that three of the four dragons among your fellow travelers have left the guardian system. It seems that you have indeed been blessed by Star Soul. I can imagine how much he hates us jailers, but Lord Tyr did leave a message here.

Considering his "friendship" with Dragon King, you may indeed have the power to open that information.

It was a "suicide note".

When you finish reading it, you will know what happened between Titan Keepers in ancient times."

"That's exactly why we're here."

Diakum nodded, and then asked:

"Since you no longer intend to resist, what do you want us to do with you?"

"Destroy? Punish? Torture?"

Ironaya shook her head, and the giantess said in a lonely tone:

"Whatever you want, when the master of Tyr died fighting for its stubborn morality, the meaning of Archaedas and I's existence was already gone. For us, the rest of the time will be a tragedy."

"Then what if I tell you that Tyr is not actually "dead"?"

Diakum stared at her and said:

"What if I told you that Tyr anticipated his outcome before embarking on that adventure, so he left an insurance policy in advance? What if I told you that you and Archaedas abandoned the Guardian Code and followed and served the master privately, and could they still be "resurrected"?"

Ironaya's fists were clenched and she glared at Diakum. After realizing that the other party didn't seem to be joking, she hesitated and wanted to ask directly but fell silent. After repeated thoughts, she whispered:

"What do you need from both of us?"

"Of course, walk up to the "Judgment seat"."

Diakum shrugged and said with the rationality that a Warrior of Light should have:

"You were the jailers who guarded Star Soul Lord. Only those who were hurt by you are qualified to decide the outcome of you and Archaedas. I have no intention of being the judge and executioner in this matter. So, leave Uldaman with us and go to Chamber of Heart.

Welcome the Judgment you deserve honestly!

As for the future fate of Tyr, the "big traitor" in Titan Guardian System.

Make your own decision with Star Soul Lord."
