Pandaria Continent There are quite a few islands outside the coastline.
In addition to Jade Forest, there are Timeless Isle and Windward Isle. There are also islands north of Kun-Lai Summit that are currently used as a mooring place by "Behemoth Carrier" of Golden Fleet. Needless to say, there is a complicated coastline over Krasarang Wilds.
But Townlong Steppes has the most overseas island terrain. Niuzao Temple, one of the four major temples of Pandaren, is located on an island outside the mainland. Of course, it was not there at the beginning. This was all the aftermath of the great collapse of heaven and earth at War of the Ancients.
Although Shaohao used Unity of Heaven and Man to incarnate as a fog to protect the entire Pandaria, the terrain on the edges of these continents was inevitably affected.
The same is true for the destination "Isle of Thunder" of this trip including Diakum.
It used to be part of the Pandaria Continent frame, but now it is hidden in the depths of the ocean at the outermost edge of the fog.
When Exodar is far away from the mainland, everyone can see the last trace of Mist Veil from the observation deck of the spacecraft. It is Dispersion. Perhaps half a month later, the last layer of fog will completely disappear.
"It is said that the Kul Tiras people have formed an expedition fleet to move here, but the fastest mover is definitely Goblin Cartel."
Grand traveler Lelan stood on the observation deck behind the spacecraft and explained to Sun Rouxin, the representative of Golden Lotus beside him:
"Goblin Trade Prince Steamwheedle, who is recuperating at Temple of the Jade Serpent, has gathered all the merchants under his command. They are traveling from South Seas to Pandaria sleeplessly, trying to reach a series of trade cooperation with you before the big merchant Kul Tiras.
In the eyes of Goblin, Pandaria, which has been isolated from the world for 10,000 years but has a large population and rich products, is the largest "trade growth point" in the entire world in the past century.
They will never let go of this piece of fat."
"Yeah, those Goblin's are... well, I don't want to be so literal, but they're really annoying."
Sun Rouxin is a quite gentle Pandaren official. She is responsible for external relations in Golden Lotus. This was a department that was just established more than ten days ago. Her responsibility is to take charge of Pandaren's foreign affairs.
Faced with Lelan's statement, Ms. Sun replied with a headache:
"Steamwheedle and its servants block Temple of the White Tiger's government agencies every day, insisting on reaching a monopoly trade with us. They want to be qualified to export grain from Pandaria, but this is impossible even if they think about it.
Valley of the Four Winds's Halfhill produce more food every day than these Goblin people can only imagine.
It's not that I look down on them, but they can't eat so much food, and the "monopoly" they pursue is not a pleasant word, and it is completely contrary to our Pandaren philosophy of life.
So we plan to meet more outsiders and then respond to them."
At this point, Ms. Sun sighed again and said:
"Pandaren is not good at sailing. We had no need for sailing in the past. Now that the fog has cleared, I learned about the existence of the South Seas route from Steamwheedle Prince. As you said, the sudden appearance of Pandaria will definitely stir up the situation in South Seas.
It seems that fleet formation will also be put on the agenda."
"That's nothing to worry about."
Lelan laughed and said:
"Will Golden Fleet of the Troll Empire leave soon? Aren't you guys talking diplomacy with the Zandalari Tribe? Let Firstborn Legion stay here for a while. It's best to send out your flying dragon knights to beat up the pirates who dare to approach Pandaria, to show that you are not easy to mess with."
The conversation between the two mostly stayed at the level of government affairs and diplomacy, but other people on the observation deck were not interested in these things, especially Brann Bronzebeard and Zhou Zhuo. These two guys had been observing the large island in front of them that was getting closer and closer.
They could see heavy clouds hovering over the island, with Thunder falling from time to time. There were huge palaces on the island, and there were designs like lightning rods on them.
Therefore, every time Thunder descends, dazzling lightning Gleam will appear around the palace complex.
This unique design gave the palace an incomparable majesty, and the architectural aesthetics of Mogu tended to favor a sense of power and grandeur. The two combined together made the well-informed old dwarf feel a sense of awe.
"If the gods have a residence in Mortal realm, it must be the temple of Thunder in front of us."
Brann comforted the monkey Grib on his shoulder, and he whispered:
"It is said that when Thunderlord Clan ruled the empire, this was the political center of Pandaria. Unfortunately, thousands of years have already made Pandaren forget about this City of Thunder."
"It's good to forget."
Zhou Zhuo touched "Thunder King's Edict" in his arms. In addition to his identity as Lorewalkers, he also wanted to play a guest role as a historian. For this reason, the Lorewalkers headquarters specially prepared a set of historian's robes and crowns from the emperor's era for him.
That thing is so gorgeous that Zhou Zhuo doesn't like it very much.
He is free-spirited by nature and thinks that such troubles only happen once in his life.
The most important thing is that he brought Thunder King's Edict here to convey to Lei Shen's most loyal subordinates, what if the group of Shanze Mogu got on top and swarmed him to death?
In the records of Lorewalkers, the ways of death of Pandaren historians in history are already diverse enough, and I really don't want to add a few more to those outrageous records.
This is so scary.
"So, how will Pandaren plan to arrange Mogu here?"
Brann Bronzebeard took out his pipe and was about to light it, but he saw Lightforged standing guard next to him staring at him coldly. The old dwarf shrugged, put away the tobacco, and asked curiously:
"According to the Thunderlord Clan, the Shan'ze Clan Mogu here do not embrace death. They are all descendants of Mogu with flesh and blood, and have nothing to do with the Mogu undead spirits everywhere in Pandaria. They consider themselves to be the most loyal descendants of the emperor, and have basically not been involved in the war on the mainland.
It's not easy for you to exterminate other people, right?"
"It's still extinct. I think you think too highly of us Pandaren."
Zhou Zhuo curled his lips and whispered:
"I was called over by Sect Leader Zhu for a discussion before, and Four Celestials is also there. The preliminary conclusion is that if Mogu of the Shan'ze Clan is willing to accept Thunder King's Edict and establish normal diplomacy and reach peace with Pandaren, Isle of Thunder will be regarded as their territory.
Pandaren, whose home was just stolen by Mantid, will not interfere too much in the internal affairs of Mogu.
But if they are unwilling to accept the imperial edict and insist on continuing the war, then there will be no other option but to continue to fight.
At present, the heroes of Shado-Pan and the Monk of the four major temples are very tired from the continuous battles. In addition, the fog of the continent has dispersed, and diplomacy with the outside world is the top priority right now.
We Pandaren want peace.
But if Mogu insists on causing trouble, we are not afraid of trouble!
At worst, another expedition would be launched, and Light Weaver Warband also made it clear that he would support Pandaren's decision.
However, I think this situation should not happen. If Mogu of the Shan'ze Clan is really as loyal as they claim to be, then they will most likely accept the imperial edict. The most important thing is that the most trusted prime minister of the Thunderlord Clan is on this island.
It is said that "Thunder Diviner Ugu" grew up with Lei Shen, they are real brothers with different surnames, and they are also very wise leaders. It is probably because of his instruction that Shan'ze Clan can be stable in Isle of Thunder for ten thousand years.
With him here, the two sides are more likely to reach an agreement."
"Passengers, please be prepared. Exodar will land on the desert island outside Isle of Thunder in five minutes! Investigators noticed that Shan'ze Clan Mogu is active on the coast. The current situation is unknown. Please carry weapons for self-protection."
Archbishop Oreses's clear announcement sounded from the loudspeakers around the spacecraft, causing people on the observation deck to gather in the lobby of the spacecraft hatch.
Soon, under the control of Diakum, the humanoid Naaru, the gemstone spacecraft steadily raised its landing gear and landed on a small desert island.
Gleam The spaceship carrying Holy Light was very small, and the desert island that no one had ever set foot on was quite small. Therefore, as soon as it landed, it set off huge waves on the sea, which made Mogu Legion, who was lined up on the distant coast to watch, a little restless.
They even dragged out the huge bed crossbow.
The arrows of this seemingly backward thing also have huge capacitors, which are wrapped with dazzling lightning. At first glance, they belong to the category of "heavy weapons of magic and metaphysics".
Let me emphasize again, Azeroth's demons and monsters are too arrogant!
Here, stabbing the spaceship with a spear is not an "indigenous joke".
Brann Bronzebeard was the first to leave the spacecraft as an explorer. The old dwarf held the shotgun very vigilantly, and the monkey pet Grib on his shoulder also howled and waved a strange wooden stick, and even performed tricks in a stylish way.
Uh, this stick was not given by the old dwarf, it was found by Grib himself who doesn't know where.
It was probably "inspiration" from seeing Monkey King. In short, Brann always felt that his monkey pet had been deliberately imitating the powerful Wild God in the past few days. Yesterday, it even stole Brann's quill and inserted it into his head as a decoration.
In fact, it is understandable.
Wild God all have their own families. There are quite a lot of creatures like monkeys in Azeroth, but they don't have their own Wild God, so they are always bullied by other beasts. But now that Monkey King appears, the monkeys can naturally start shaking.
Although, the race of Monkey King is "Hozen", which is not the same concept as monkey.
But who knows that the plastic surgery done by "Saint·Tony" is too outrageous? The new baby Monkey King looks like a monkey and scratches its head and ears like a monkey, so of course it is a monkey. Therefore, it will naturally get the enthusiastic support of jungle monkeys like Grib.
"Quiet down you little thing! Don't scream provocatively."
The old dwarf picked up the monkey that was jumping on his head and squealing with a stick, and threw it on his shoulder. If the crossbow in the hand of Mogu on the opposite side misfired, the guy might be shot in the head with an arrow. It is said that the accuracy of Mogu's Marksman is quite ridiculous.
A few minutes later, amid the trembling movement of the earth, Mogu Stone Golems from "Emperor's Fist" and "Burning Legion" escorted "Thunder King's Edict" off the ship.
Under the gaze of everyone, Zhou Zhuo, who had changed into a historian's robe and wore an elegant scholar's crown, stood on the platform and was carried by the stone figurines and waded into the sea towards the coast.
Lao Zhou held Thunder King's Edict high, trying to express a "majestic appearance" and "gentle wind", but his shaking legs betrayed him, making this guy nervous visible to the naked eye.
Although the head Taran Zhu and Old Chen personally serve as his guards, Zhou Zhuo really doesn't feel safe at all.
Fortunately, Mogu on the coast did not attack them.
Perhaps they recognized the stone figurines of Emperor's Fist. The extremely brave Shanze Mogu, who were holding halberds and giant shields, took the initiative to make way for them. There was a ruins where the coast met the jungle, and their Warlord was waiting there.
"These Mogu are made of flesh and blood."
Below Exodar Ship, Eredath leaned on the Blessing staff and said to Yrel and Maraad beside him:
"They are very pure, and there is no aura of death entrenched on the island. It seems that the legend about the Shan'ze Clan is true. These Mogu have not obeyed the call of death. They have always stayed on their own island.
Niuzao the Black Ox Tianzun also supported this statement before. He has been guarding Niuzao Temple for thousands of years and has never noticed the threat from Isle of Thunder.
It seems that there is a high probability that a diplomatic agreement can be reached, and there will be no fighting today."
The latest ⊥ little ⊥ talk ⊥ is first posted on ⊥⊥⊥!
"I heard that Thunderlord Clan also has a concubine."
Yrel leaned on the holy blade and blinked his eyes quite gossipingly and said:
"Zhou Zhuo found "Secret History of the Emperor" in the Mogu'shan Palace's library. It said that Thunderlord Clan had two concubines who were as beautiful as gods in Mogu's opinion, and they were very powerful. In addition to serving the emperor, they also served as imperial guards.
It is said that rebels once sneaked into the palace and tried to assassinate Thunderlord Clan, but Lei Shen did not need Lei Shen to do it himself, Mogu Twin Queens easily solved them."
"Uh, I don't know about that."
Eredath made a triangle on his chest Holy Crest and said:
"But women Mogu are indeed rare. The main reason is that Mogu advocates the purity of hard stones. Exquisite stone figurines breed souls, and then flesh and blood will naturally be born. People do not rely on marriage to reproduce. At least this is not the main way of population growth."
"Ah, it took me a long time to find a group of monks."
Yrel complained bitterly.
But it is indeed a good thing not to have a big fight. After Timeless Isle killed Ordos and Black Flame Cult's disciples last time, Yrel's bellicose personality faded a lot. At some moments, she felt that she had really fought enough.
Azeroth There are disputes everywhere, and she no longer feels happy just because she can move her hands and feet.
In the words of company commander Maraad, this is probably "growth".
Moreover, Pandaren Monk people have very good ambitions, to use force to stop war. Tsk tsk, I always feel that Light Weaver Warband will follow this road and go far away in the future.
After a not too long wait, Zhou Zhuo is finally back.
A smile on Lorewalkers's face meant that everything was going well. He stood on the shore and shouted to a large group of people under the spaceship:
"It's done! Warlord of the Shan'ze Clan invited us to the Thunder Palace, Prime Minister Ugg and General Iron Qon, as well as who is the temporary regent. Mogu Twin Queens is waiting for us there. Mogu will reach an agreement with Pandaren, and they will send an honor guard to Kun-Lai Summit to host Lei Shen's funeral.
Come all over.
The war is over, Mogu will not fight with us anymore."
"Ouch, ouch, ouch"
Although this was not big news, especially in light of the recent series of major events in Pandaria, the armistice agreement of a Mogu tribe was not so weighty, but the Pandarens present still cheered.
In essence, they are indeed a peace-loving race.
So a large group of people crossed the shallow sea and set foot on this land that had been sealed in the fog for ten thousand years.
The former "Imperial Capital" has been abandoned by time, and the gorgeous city has been reduced to ruins and rubble. There are not many Mogus in the Shan'ze Clan, and they are unable to fully maintain the staggering number of buildings in the entire Isle of Thunder. They can only ensure the integrity of the main body of the Thunder Palace.
The ecological changes of the island over the years have turned it into a jungle and swamp terrain, and because of frequent lightning strikes, "Ten Thousand Years Thunderstruck Wood" is everywhere here.
This makes Nubodon very happy.
It's not that Shaman plans to change his job to a "Daoist priest" or sell exorcism bracelets. The main reason is that Thunderstruck Wood is a perfect casting material for elemental spells.
A piece of Thunderstruck Wood grew in the earth, experienced wind and thunder strikes and subsequent fire burning, and was extinguished by rain to form its current appearance.
In this process, all the four elements of wind, fire, water and earth are included, as well as the surge of Life Force. This is a material that is very compatible with the four elements. Nubodon plans to collect some and bring them back to Draenei Shaman for use.
Others passed through those ancient ruins. With the old dwarf and Zhou Zhuo sighing about "a waste of a good thing", they crossed the island and finally arrived at the palace of the Thunderlord Clan.
The leaders of the Shan'ze Clan and Mogu are all here. They wear ancient war helmets with no visible expressions. They are not very friendly, but they do not use force.
Thunder Diviner Ugu will greet everyone in front of the palace gate.
This Mogu of the same era as Thunderlord Clan is of course a "dead spirit", but he is different from other Mogu undead spirits. He returned to this island after his resurrection.
Ugg, wearing a lightning Gleam robe and a Thunder crown, looked at everyone, then waved his hand, and a Mogu stepped forward to recite Ugg's welcome speech.
This made everyone a little surprised, and then Zhou Zhuo explained in a low voice:
"It is said that His Excellency Ugg knows all the secrets related to Lei Shen. In order not to affect his precious friendship with the Thunderlord Clan, and in order to avoid taboos for the king, he personally cut out his own tongue."
Everyone's eyes turned to Dark Prophet Zul, which made old Trolls curl his lips, but they also immediately respected the Mogu undead prime minister in front of him.
He knows how difficult it is.
After the welcome speech, everyone was welcomed into the ancient palace, but Diakum was stopped by the telegrapher. He pointed to the box in Dick's hand. When the box was opened, the moment the Heart of Thunder with surging thunder and lightning appeared, the entire sky at the Thunderlord Clan suddenly changed.
It seems that this island and palace have finally welcomed back their master.
In an instant, more than hundreds of Thunder descended, making the lightning rods everywhere in the palace sparkle, completely illuminating the hazy Isle of Thunder.
"Alas"
Prime Minister Ugu sighed.
He stretched out his hand and touched the Heart of Thunder, completely unaffected and troubled by the violent Thunder. Then he raised his head and asked Diakum with his eyes what he was going to do with this heart.
"I'm not here to give it back."
Diakum explained:
"That cowardly god can command the storm without this heart. I will use this heart to forge a weapon for a real god to use, but don't worry."
He said to Ugg:
"You stay here and guard the biggest secret for your brother for ten thousand years. It will no longer be a problem. I will take him away! Thunderlord Clan That edict is for you. He will believe that you will not let him down until his death.
This kind of friendship is touching, especially when it is mixed with power.
Continue to lead Mogu.
Lead the loyal people of the Thunderlord Clan to find Way of Survival again in this strange era. As for the destination of Lei Shen
If you are interested, you can come with me to pay homage to him soon."
Prime Minister Ugu hesitated for a moment, finally turned sideways, bent slightly, and made a "please" gesture to Diakum.
It couldn't be better that this powerful stranger is willing to accept that "hot potato."
