(Additional update for brother "Tao Shu Ke" [3/5])
There are many ruins in Krasarang Wilds.
The most famous one is called "Duyang Ruins", which is the ruins of an emperor's palace in Mogu Overmind Pandaria before the Pandaren empire was established.
Why would the emperor of Mogu build his palace in a place like Krasarang Wilds, which has a relatively bad environment?
The answer is micromanaging!
It is said that Emperor Dojan was so happy with his success that in order to conquer the Lizardfolk gangsters who had been causing trouble on the border of the empire, he carried out a personal expedition despite the objections of his courtiers. However, he underestimated the harsh environment of Krasarang Wilds, causing heavy casualties to the Mogu soldiers.
Originally, this was the end of the matter, but his army discovered "Fountain of Youth" here.
In order to compete for this "strategic resource", Emperor Dojan continued to mobilize an army for conquest. After he inexplicably "died" of illness while holding "Fountain of Youth", his son Dojan II continued to preside over the purge of Lizardfolk.
As a result, this Dojan II can be called a model of "good food and fun-loving".
His wanton deployment of troops caused Mogu Empire to complain, and slave uprisings continued in various places. He himself also died in the assassination of Lizardfolk assassins. His death was so sudden that there was no time to arrange the funeral arrangements, which directly caused the empire to fall into turmoil.
Then the unlucky Mogu, the last emperor Laofei, appears.
That period was also the time when Pandaren joined forces with other slaves to rebel. It can be said that an assassination by Lizardfolk in the jungle directly triggered the change of dynasty of Pandaria.
However, the natural environment of Krasarang Wilds was so outrageous that even after the Pandaren Empire was established, it has been under tyrannical rule. Lizardfolk gathered people in the jungle. Pandaren, who learned the lessons of Mogu, did not go to war against them, but only established the fortress town Zhu Family Village to monitor them.
Temple of the Red Crane After the jungle was established, the local Lizardfolk would not attack the temple. It was not that Lizardfolk admired Chi-Ji, but just because Celestial of Hope suppressed Sha of Doubt here, which was also beneficial to Lizardfolk.
This thing is said to be the "biological experimental weapon" of Mogu. They are cold-blooded animals and are very cruel. They cannot be said to be a systematic civilization, but they have emotions, so they will be affected by Sha.
Therefore, the most important thing when being an emperor is to be stable.
Unless you are forced to have no other choice, don't do such stupid things as "conquering the emperor yourself". If you do it well, it will be the Baozong studying abroad, but if you do it badly, it will end up like Dojan II.
This incident is recorded in detail in the history of Pandaren. Unfortunately, because Krasarang Wilds is a "land outside of civilization", even Lorewalkers like Zhou Zhuo dare not come here casually to pay homage to the ancients.
However, the ruins left by Emperor Dojan are still deep in the jungle, and there are still a group of descendants of Mogu left behind by the expedition to stay here.
The whereabouts of those guys are mysterious, following a leader named "Earthbreaker Broye", and it is said that they want to carry out the "restoration movement" here.
They do not recognize Mogu Emperor other than Emperor Dojan. Even after the Thunderlord Clan was resurrected ten thousand years ago, these guys did not go to Kun-Lai Summit to participate in the grand event.
At this time, Diakum was driving Moon Goddess Reindeer as smoothly as possible in the complex jungle environment. He approached the ruins of the Dojan Dynasty, and then felt the aura of evil power.
Old Anzu's information is as accurate as ever, Light Weaver Warband's partner Steamwheedle and its Goblin have become some kind of "carrier" of evil power.
And it's not one of the Pandaria Seven Evils!
That is a unique evil energy that has most likely never appeared on a large scale in Pandaria before.
"These guys are really outrageous."
Vigilant, who was riding a deer, complained in a low voice:
"How persistent is this negative will to "turn into a demon" in Pandaria? What we are saying is that even if the mind is really defective, it is difficult to create a true and entrenched evil power in such a short period of time, right?
Is this Steamwheedle really a fucking "magic" genius?"
Great Horned Deer under his crotch made a sarcastic sound. Obviously, it didn't think Goblin was a genius.
Oh, this is what makes this deer different from other Holy Warsteed. Not only can it carry Diakum on its back for ferocious riding battles, but it also has its own thoughts.
Perhaps it is because of the magical power from Moon Goddess that it retains part of the wisdom belonging to Malorne.
This guy even knows how to actively call for moonlight to hide his aura when approaching the ruins, but he is not a professional at doing this. When it comes to aura concealment, the K'hakh, Legend of the Abyss in the Diakum "mount fence" is the real silent Stealth.
Vigilant is here to fulfill the "mutual assistance" agreement with Steamwheedle Prince.
He originally thought that the audacious Goblin who came to steal the Fountain of Youth of the Duyang Restorer must have been caught and kicked, but he did not expect that after approaching the ruins, he actually saw a "wonderful scene".
Steamwheedle was standing on the broken pillar of the ruins, with his left hand on his chest and his right hand raised high at a 45° angle, impassionedly delivering some kind of strange "speech" to a group of Mogu thugs surrounding him.
What's even more crazy is that those Mogu thugs who were supposed to hack it to death actually listened attentively.
"That "restorer", your leader, deceived you with a ridiculous statement. He said he would lead you to rebuild the Emperor Dojan empire, but how many years has it been?
Brave Mogu Warriors, how many years have you been hiding in Krasarang Wilds with this ridiculous rebel?
The former imperial warriors have been reduced to bandits fighting for territory with Lizardfolk. Pandaren doesn't even bother to send out an army to round you up!
More importantly, aren't you curious about why your leader can live from the era of Emperor Dojan to the present?"
Steamwheedle's eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, and his condition was obviously bad to the naked eye.
Waves of black and white evil energy surround it, and dangerous "evil energy armor" even appears on the body, which means that Steamwheedle is being assimilated by Sha.
But its spirit was very excited, and even its voice became extremely sharp. As it shouted, it allowed the black and white evil energy on its body to spread outwards. This cunning guy was actively using the evil energy to interfere with the soul so that he could survive from the Mogu thugs.
It screamed:
"That bastard lied to you. He claimed to have been blessed by Emperor Dojan, but in fact it was just the effect of "Fountain of Youth"! Look! I, an outsider, have revealed the secret of the Restoration for you.
That guy should have died a long time ago. He can survive until now only by using Fountain of Youth to kill other Mogu to keep him alive! Do you know how much life a Mogu can provide him after being killed by him?
Fifty years!
At least fifty years!
I heard from Pandaren of Temple of the Red Crane that you had a Burning Legion more than a thousand years ago, but now, this is all you have left.
Except for the warriors killed by Lizardfolk, the other Mogu died inexplicably. Don't you ever think about it?"
Steamwheedle took off the bottles and cans hanging on his body and threw them to the surrounding Mogu thugs. He waved his fist and shouted:
"If you don't believe me, just try it and see if what I said is right. I stole all these jars. Ahem, I managed to get Fountain of Youth.
Go try it!
I give you the Fountain of Youth that only "Earthbreaker" Broyer dominates, and that is the Legacy that Emperor Dojan left to Mogu. Every Mogu is qualified to inherit it, and you are all qualified to enjoy this "power of immortality."
Having said this, Steamwheedle changed the subject, and its tone became more fervent. It opened its arms and shouted amidst the black and white evil energy:
"Good things should be shared, right? Whoever dares to usurp your interests should be beaten to death!"
That bastard killed so many of your brothers, don't you have any anger at all?
Think about it!
Broyer has absorbed the lives of so many Mogu warriors, how strong should his Life Force be?
Go kill him!
Give his life to everyone present.
You can all become stronger.
You have been savages in this jungle for thousands of years, don't you want to leave here and enjoy the enjoyment outside? Let me tell you, Pandaria Continent is on the South Seas golden route, and a huge amount of wealth passes here every day.
As long as you use your power reasonably, warriors, I can guarantee that you will live the most luxurious life in the world in a short time, and each of you can enjoy the same enjoyment as Emperor Dojan.
Your leader can only bring you a savage-like camp and unpaid hard work. You can't even control your own life and death, so why should you follow him?
You must learn to choose more suitable leaders.
Yes!
Me!
Steamwheedle Cartel's Trade Prince Steamwheedle, I will sign a great contract with you.
Let's work together to do big things, put your name on the South Seas route, I will be responsible for your logistics, you only need to do what you are best at, and stop being a slave to the slave master.
Slavery is too backward. Wouldn't you like to follow me and get some Goblin capitalism?
You go to work at seven in the morning and get off work at seven in the evening. The rest of the time is all yours. I will give you one day off a month, so you can have fun as you like.
There is even a staff dormitory for you in Gadgetzan. You only need to pay the basic rent to be sheltered from the wind and rain, and you can go to the pub to have fun after work. I am so beautiful for you!
I will give you a basic subsidy to ensure that you will be guaranteed no matter what you do. As for how much you can earn, it all depends on your ability. Steamwheedle Prince never treats hard-working and willing employees badly. If you work under me for three years, you will still receive a pension.
Go out and ask around, I'm a well-known person on South Seas!"
Mogu The thugs held the Fountain of Youth Water in their hands and looked at each other. The Goblin's Mogu language was terrible, but the meaning it wanted to express was indeed very clear.
These Mogu gangsters who have been savages in the jungle for thousands of years are not sure whether to listen to this Goblin, but now they are indeed very interested in the "secret" that the leader has hidden alone.
Mogu The thugs' heartbeats and hesitations were keenly noticed by Steamwheedle. Seeing that the fire was almost done, this guy lengthened his voice and persuaded hypocritically:
"Of course, I may have misunderstood your leader. Maybe that guy secretly covered up the existence of Fountain of Youth just to protect you?"
Go talk to him.
Oh, be sure not to bring weapons, but be sure not to get into a fight!"
Several mob leaders exchanged glances and each held Fountain of Youth to try. The Mogu thugs also dispersed everywhere according to the order.
As Diakum watched with interest, angry roars soon sounded from all over the ruins.
Not long after, the red-eyed captain Mogu rushed over, called his brothers, carried various heavy weapons, and ran to "discuss their interests" with their leader.
They experimented with small animals around them and realized that they had indeed been deceived.
After narrowly escaping from death, Steamwheedle saw the last Mogu leave, and then sat on the pillar with some guilt. It wiped the sweat from its forehead and looked into the depths of the ruins with anticipation.
Just by looking at it, you can tell that it must be expecting those Mogu to really join its ranks.
This guy is also reckless.
They have fallen to this point, and they still want to make a fortune from these dangerous half-giants.
The latest ⊥ little ⊥ talk ⊥ is first posted on ⊥⊥⊥!
"Where are your other servants?"
Diacom walked out of the forest. When he saw him, Resha let out a scream of joy. The guilt in this guy's eyes immediately disappeared, just like the fox finally waited for his tiger.
It stood on the pillar and shouted:
"Come on, my friend, with your military support, I will be more confident in recruiting this group of Mogu. They are not very smart, but they are very loyal, powerful and well-trained.
What a good Warrior! What a good bulldog.
I just need to take them out of this useless place, and I will immediately have a Azeroth first-class military force. Let the Kul Tiras fleet go to hell, I will also have my own ace Burning Legion.
They will protect my Fountain of Youth business, and the princes and dignitaries of the whole world will kneel at my feet, just for that bottle of eternal spring water.
I can make whatever price I want, and they have to accept it.
Is there a better business in the world than this? We will soon be able to buy the whole world."
"But something is wrong with you, Steamwheedle, tell me, where are your other servants?"
Vigilant stepped forward and looked at it and said:
"Did that voice in your head tell you to do this? What was it saying to you?"
"Voice? What voice? Isn't that my own voice?"
Steamwheedle's eyes widened, and he shouted excitedly and enthusiastically:
"I saw the wealth that was ignored, I saw the profits waiting to be harvested by me, and I could feel the residual value that was not used rationally!
Yes.
The world is full of idiots with ambitions that cannot be realized. All I have to do is give them a chance and let them work for me willingly!
Their victory will become my victory, just like planting my own leek field with my own hands, and then picking up the sickle to chop it down at the right moment.
No, no no no!
I want to design a more perfect set of rules, I want them to harvest themselves, and then offer their most precious things with both hands with a longing smile, just to get my reward.
It will continue to work, even without me.
My body will wither and my life will come to an end, but the system I left behind will continue to function. It will not get tired, will not soften its heart, and will not fall asleep.
The profits, wealth, and power in the whole world will become my leek field. As long as the ideas I leave behind continue to develop and extend, I will get Eternal Life."
Steamwheedle waved its hands, describing its desire feverishly, and shouted:
"Others? Everyone else has run away. They also want Fountain of Youth Water. They want to steal my money! They are all a group of thieves!"
"You are really very sick, but I don't believe that Sha's infection can bring about such magical effects."
Diakum grabbed Steamwheedle's wrist and entered Voidform instantly. The moment Blade of the Black Empire pulled out, Steamwheedle let out a piercing scream.
"No! Keep that thing away from me, my ambition and my desire. Greed, listen to me, Diakum, greed is not a bad thing! It will make us confident, make us hungry and awake, it will speed up our efficiency and make the whole world run in a better way.
Don't take that away, I need it to continue to inspire me."
Goblin begged, but the flashing black dagger still pierced its body the next moment, and no blood flowed out. It seemed that the blade surrounded by three black and white shimmers had pierced into something deeper.
Sha on Steamwheedle is screaming.
Maybe we can call it "Sha of Desire"?
This thing does not have as intuitive and terrifying destructive power as other Sha, but Diakum can be sure that if Steamwheedle really lets Steamwheedle bring this thing from Pandaria to the South Seas route, it is estimated that something more "terrifying" will be created in minutes.
Hiss, the residual value doesn't sound like something Holy Light would protect.
The most important thing is
"Without its help, you can still do what you just claimed! This thing will only make you more fanatical and make you abandon your proud calmness and become a gambler of fate."
Vigilant pulled out Blade of the Black Empire and said to Steamwheedle Prince who was slumped on the stone pillar and woke up:
"You have your own "art of trading". I believe you don't need these evil ways to leave your name in history. Now, calm down?"
Steamwheedle rubbed its forehead, then slapped itself, and said sadly:
"I must be crazy to ride on a horse!
I actually promised those Mogu to give them pensions?
Damn it!
They don't need pensions at all!
Based on their previous living conditions, I only need to give them the treatment of ordinary employees to make them grateful.
Yes.
They live in the slave age, and I shouldn't give them so much in one go. The favor must flow in a steady stream, and the rewards must be given step by step. Otherwise, I will only breed a group of guys with unsatisfied desires.
Thank you, my friend."
Steamwheedle rubbed its swollen face and said to Diakum with a conflicted expression:
"Take that thing away quickly. You are right. It will only affect my correct judgment and cause me to suffer unnecessary loss of profits. I could have squeezed 100 points of residual value from these Mogu thugs, but this thing only allowed me to get 85 points.
What a hell."
"Uh."
Diakum glanced at the Blade of the Black Empire in his hand, he sighed and said:
"I take back what I said, Steamwheedle, you are hopeless. You should leave Pandaria as soon as possible. You Goblin have too many distracting thoughts in your minds. If you stay here, something will happen."
"No hurry, I have to go Jade Forest."
Steamwheedle waved his hand and said:
"Pandaria has fertile land that ripens every day, which is destined to make this continent Azeroth's grain trade center in the future. I have to monopolize this business before potential competitors appear.
Ha, even the most noble Highborne can't help but eat. Maybe I should think of some way to create a food crisis to raise the price of food, and then take the opportunity to dump it.
No!
I may have to defeat other grain-producing areas first, such as Westfall"
A sharp Light Blade beat in Diakum's hand. Vigilant stared at his partner and said faintly:
"Come, look at this beautiful knife and say what you just said again."
"I was wrong."
Steamwheedle kneels down in seconds.
It pointed at its head and screamed:
"It must be that the thing was not cleaned up just now. It turned into a little devil and tempted me to do some dangerous thinking. My partner, after working with you, I have set myself a very high moral standard.
I even gave my employees a raise!
Take the initiative to raise your salary!
You know, I've become a better person, really."
