Ra-den was taken away.
Thunder can be easily controlled, and the hands that stir up the storm are wearing symbolic shackles, walking in the "special passage" opened by Staff of Sargeras, and going directly to Chamber of Heart to meet Star Soul.
As Diakum expected, Prime Minister Ugg sent Mogu Twin Queens as "escort" and "jailer".
This is a solution that offers the best of both worlds.
First of all, the relationship between Mogu and Ra-den is too complicated. Without someone to keep an eye on it, Ugg, who is used to making decisions and then acting, is always uneasy.
Secondly, Mogu of the Shan'ze Clan wants to rebuild the relationship with Pandaren in the name of Thunder King's Edict, and now that Thunderlord Clan has passed away, leaving the two queens as "regents" may cause trouble in the future.
You must know that the political tradition of the Mogu race is very bloody. Once there is a rebellion, almost all the important officials of the former dynasty will be slaughtered. If someone uses the name of the Thunderlord Clan to cause trouble, the current undersized Shan'ze Clan may be in danger of subversion.
There are currently a very large number of Mogu dead souls inside the Pandaria Continent, especially those of Mogu Emperor, each of which has a "strong claim" that Thunderlord Clan is the First Emperor, but not all emperors are convinced by him.
Based on the current situation of the Shan'ze Clan, it would be better for Isle of Thunder to develop silently.
Professional officials will be responsible for these diplomatic matters. What Ugg has to deal with next is more important matters. In the palace above Ra-den's cell, the prime minister made three decisions with the leaders of Pandaren in sign language.
First, Vale of Eternal Blossoms must be opened as soon as possible.
Thunder King's Edict contains provisions about the three palaces there as left to the Shan'ze Clan Legacy. As the prime minister who assisted Lei Shen in becoming the emperor, Ugg knew very well that those three palaces contained the wealth left by His Majesty, as well as some things related to the legitimacy of Mogu.
That is an important guarantee for the Shan'ze Clan to survive in the future.
Second, Isle of Thunder and several nearby islands shall be regarded as the territory of the Shan'ze Clan, and Pandaren shall not invade at will for any reason.
He will set up a trade and transit place on Shan'ze Isle, which is between Isle of Thunder and the mainland, and all subsequent negotiations will be moved there.
The most important point is that Pandaren must not interfere with the communication between the Shan'ze Clan and outside the fog.
This one is also easy to understand.
Compared with the Pandaria Continent, the location of Isle of Thunder, which is isolated overseas, is exactly stuck in the golden waterway of South Seas route. Once the fog dissipates, this island will immediately become a commercial center.
Mogu is not a barbarian.
Although they like to use strength to solve problems, their level of civilization is no worse than Pandaren.
From the current point of view, Prime Minister Ugg most likely wants to get a share of the South Seas trade and use this to find opportunities for the rapid growth of the Shan'ze Clan.
Shan'ze Clan is the loyal minister of the Thunderlord Clan. Their mission is not only to live well and inherit the orthodoxy of Mogu.
It is written very clearly in Thunder King's Edict that Shan'ze Clan will raise an army in the name of the Thunderlord Clan to wipe out those Mogu rebellions that embrace death. This is a very difficult road to national restoration, but Shan'ze Clan will definitely complete it.
This is also the third basic consensus reached by Prime Ministers Ugg and Pandaren.
In the future, when Shan'ze Clan's army goes to exterminate Mogu's rebellion, Pandaren will act together as allies. Military matters will be discussed later, but if Thunderlord Clan wants the two races to form an alliance, the tone must be set today.
For these three requirements, Pandaren can accept them.
Especially when Ugg reiterated that in Vale of Eternal Blossoms, except for the three palaces and ancestral mausoleums, they would not occupy any grass or trees, and would even help persuade the Guo-Lai, Shao-Tian and Nan-Tian tribes who had lived in Vale of Eternal Blossoms for a long time to stop their hostility.
The other party is obviously very pragmatic and sincere.
Therefore, after Zhou Zhuo drafted the covenant, both parties signed their names after confirming that it was correct. This means that Pandaren and Mogu finally tried to shake hands and make peace after experiencing a complicated relationship for more than 10,000 years.
There will definitely be a lot of friction between the two races in the future, and the road to peace has never been that easy. However, under the premise that Mogu orthodoxy is willing to give up its claim to Pandaria, the probability of war has finally been reduced.
Even Pandaren's most resolute force commander Taran Zhu has to admit that after a long time has passed, Pandaria is no longer just Pandaria of Pandaren!
Hozen, Virmen, Hozen, Yaungol, and Jinyu are all residents of this continent, and they have the same right to survival as Pandaren.
Mogu The same is naturally true.
If you want Pandaria to maintain peace, all ethnic groups must respect each other's customs and territories. As Pandaren is currently the most powerful ethnic group in Pandaria, they have the obligation to establish a grand alliance.
Today's covenant with Mogu is only one part of this big covenant, but it is the most important part.
In fact, Golden Lotus officials have been imagining such a peaceful environment where "the world is unified", and they even plan to accept Lizardfolk and Mantid, provided that the other party is willing to negotiate.
Diakum is very supportive of this beautiful ideal.
He couldn't convince Lizardfolk to accept the covenant, but he could deal with the problem of "Mantid" for Pandaren. In fact, he was already dealing with it.
Prime Minister Ugg completed the covenant with Pandaren. The silent and noble mute watched Pandaren leave the palace, and then looked at Diakum who was sitting opposite him.
Before Vigilant could speak, Ugg took out a rather powerful Mogu War Seal from his arms.
Or called Tiger Talisman.
He stroked the ancient thing, then stood up and handed it to Diakum with both hands. Vigilant took it in his hand and looked at it. Needless to say, the Emperor's Seal was exquisitely made. What was important was the "symbolic meaning" of this thing.
"This is the military seal of "Emperor's Fist" and "Burning Legion"?
Vigilant said in surprise:
"I thought you would ask for control of that Burning Legion. After all, it was the army that Thunderlord Clan conquered the territory back then. Shan'ze Clan is currently the force that Pandaria is most qualified to inherit.
You know that with the current power of the Shan'ze Clan, without the assistance of Invincible stone figurines of Emperor's Fist Burning Legion, it will definitely take a long time for you to complete the cause of unifying Mogu.
Even for an immortal species like Mogu, that is a dauntingly long time."
Ugg shook his head.
He was about to write when he saw Diakum raise his finger and use Priest's mental vision to connect their minds together. The prime minister hesitated and broke his ten thousand years of "closed mouth".
He said in a rather hoarse voice, like a surge of electricity:
"Don't Your Majesty know the current situation of the Shan'ze Clan? In the past ten thousand years, other tribes have relied on the power of death to fight everywhere, but Shan'ze Clan is trapped in Isle of Thunder and does not participate in it.
Your Majesty is very aware of the current situation of his loyal tribe, but he still left this edict.
Noble alien Saint, people need ideals and goals to live!
This is true for individuals as well as for groups. Your Majesty does not expect Shan'ze Clan to be able to complete the great cause of unifying Mogu in a short time.
He just didn't want the loyal tribe to lose its direction and become pathetic bandits after his death, just like what he told me before entering the temple of Mogu'shan that he wanted to become Thunder.
He hopes that his people can also bathe in Thunder and become stronger."
Ugg smiled.
This ancient and wise Mogu prime minister waved his hands and said:
"Therefore, please take away that Burning Legion!
Even from the most realistic point of view, the weak Shan'ze Clan having control over Emperor's Fist Burning Legion is a recipe for disaster. What's more, even Nalak'sha Engine is about to be demolished, and that Burning Legion should probably be subordinated to a more "noble" force.
After all, Emperor's Fist's Invincible stone figurines should never have been used to fight against the mortal world."
"You are very wise and worthy of being a trusted advisor by Lei Shen."
Diakum said seriously:
"Then, I assure you that this Burning Legion will be used on the most glorious and solemn battlefield. They should fulfill their inherent mission and responsibility."
"I believe in your promise."
Prime Minister Ugg stood up.
He clapped his hands, and three tall and strong Shanze warriors strode up outside the palace.
One person is holding a giant ax of Thunder Gleam, the other is holding a Mogu halberd that is also wrapped in electrical surges, and the last person is holding the iconic crown of Lei Shen. The three things are very exquisite and full of majesty. They are the artistic expression of the civilization and power of Mogu.
But this crown is probably an imitation.
After all, the real Crown of Command has been buried in Valley of Emperors along with the remains of the Thunderlord Clan.
Ugg pointed at these three things and said to Diakum mentally:
"Tomahawk" Thunder", battle halberd "Shockstrike", and His Majesty's spare Crown of Command, these are three valuable items that belong to His Majesty and are stored in the Thunder Palace. We Mogu have the habit of respecting the strong, so please accept these three gifts.
They are all treasures created by His Majesty himself in Nalak'sha Engine after obtaining Heart of Thunder. You may not use them, but you can give them to the warriors you value.
In our Mogu customs, this represents the inheritance of courage and strength of brave warriors."
"Too expensive."
Dick doesn't need to use the word identification to know that these three items are genuine artifacts. The energy of Titan is surging in them. This is the real Titan Construct, but he is not polite or modest.
He really can't use this thing!
The characteristics of Enemy of the Titans make it impossible for him to control these things, unless he doesn't want the ultimate magic skill of "Ancient Fury".
He stood up and declined politely:
"Personally, without commenting on the way Lei Shen ruled, I still admire the Mogu First Emperor's will to fight against heaven and earth and his lofty ideals.
He is your great man, so just leave these artifacts here for future generations to admire."
"We have stone tablets, various trophies left by His Majesty, and even imitations of these artifacts."
Ugg sighed and said:
"You'd better take them away. The current Shan'ze Clan really can't keep these artifacts. Once outsiders know about it, it will be another disaster! You know, Thunderlord Clan's name is too loud among Mogu.
If any of these three things is obtained by careerists, it will be a disaster for all Mogu."
"Uh, okay, I'll choose suitable owners for them."
Everyone has reached this point, and Dick can no longer refuse.
He took Emperor's Fist's Tiger Talisman Military Seal, put away the three artifacts, bid farewell to Prime Minister Ugg, and left the Thunder and Lightning Court.
Vigilant will stay at Isle of Thunder for two more days, because the Lightforged Artificers on Exodar told him that the lightning rods designed by the Thunderlord Clan himself can be disassembled and installed on the spacecraft for use as conventional weapons, and the Titan Technology equipment here is of high quality and can perform an overhaul and replace important components of the spacecraft.
Exodar sailed all the way from Light Cosmic Domain, and it has not been maintained for a long time.
This is business. As the mobile base of Lightforged Burning Legion, Dick does not want to see himself transform into "Holy Light Big Prison" one day because of the disrepair of the spacecraft.
After Vigilant left, Prime Minister Ugg returned to the palace. Not long after, a mysterious guy was brought in by the Shan'ze Clan's warriors.
This guy wore a hood and was dressed sneakily, but he was short in stature. One look at his height would tell you that he was either a dwarf or Goblin. It was basically a disguise in vain.
Ugg stared at him.
A Mogu alchemist beside him said:
"Why did you pay so much money to see the noble prime minister?"
"Of course it's business!"
This guy took off his hood, revealing Steamwheedle Prince's classic Goblin appearance.
It rubbed its hands in a philistine manner and said to Prime Minister Ugg:
The latest ⊥ little ⊥ talk ⊥ is first posted on ⊥⊥⊥!
"I have inquired about the content of the covenant between you and Pandaren. I know that you need help. My friend, my Steamwheedle Cartel is the most enthusiastic about "providing help and making profit".
Although the original intention of Vigilant is to let dwarves control the Titan Technology here to achieve healthy competition between the two parties, I, a Goblin capitalist, hate the word "competition", so let's talk about some monopoly businesses.
I don't want much!
Share the Titan energy technology that you Mogu has mastered with Steamwheedle Cartel, the "supercapacitor" that can absorb natural lightning and store energy. I really need this thing.
With this thing, I can create a fleet that can travel without relying on wind and ocean currents, and send all Kul Tiras's navy to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish.
My favorite airship also crashed off the coast of Pandaria. I also need a new airship. I hope to use the technology of Mogu to build me a "super airship" that will never fall!"
Ugg blinked and then made a gesture.
His attendant asked in a long voice:
"You have many demands, but the distinguished prime minister wants to know what kind of return your consortium can bring to the Shan'ze Clan?"
"Oh, we've entered the negotiation process, right?"
Steamwheedle Prince's big eyes were shining with Gleam, and it said:
"I love negotiating and I have so much to offer, it all depends on what you need.
Weapons?
No, the technology you have mastered allows you to have no shortage of weapons.
Food?
No, Mogu can enter the stone statue state, and you don't need much food at all.
Money?
No, your palace is full of wealth, and Thunderlord Clan has left you the real "treasure of the king". You may be Azeroth one of the richest races.
So, there is only one answer!
You are short of people."
Steamwheedle narrowed his eyes and asked:
"So, how should I increase the population of my most noble business partner? You don't rely on mating to reproduce, so the female slaves under my command are of no use."
"Dirty!"
The prime minister's attendant scolded:
"Pay attention to your identity, Goblin, and don't say such obscene words in front of the distinguished ones."
Ugg waved his hand.
He didn't think Steamwheedle was crazy. He quite liked the energy of Goblin. No one had dared to talk to him like this for many years, so Ugg took out a unique piece of soil from the cuff of his robe and handed it to Steamwheedle.
I took Goblin in my hand and found that it was a very strange kind of soil, which seemed to be the same as Life Force.
"If you can find this kind of soil outside, bring it back. We want as much as you have!"
The prime minister's attendant explained:
"Mogu Warrior souls are born from this soil. In the emperor's era, we could use Nalak'sha Engine to shape people in batches, but that was the emperor's prerogative, and no one else could do it.
The pottery figurines made by Artisan from other tribes using inferior clay will only give birth to inferior souls.
For us Mogu, the body is just a replaceable stone, the most important thing is the soul, so we need such materials to restore Shan'ze Clan's vitality and become stronger."
"Uh, you paid all this just to get some mud? Well, I've seen some weird customers before."
Steamwheedle was stumped.
It scratched its head and said:
"But where am I going to find this spiritual earth?"
"That's your business!"
The prime minister's attendant scolded:
"If we knew, would we still need you?"
"Well, that's a classic customer statement."
Steamwheedle was embarrassed and planned to take the soil to show to his subordinates Arcane Mage, but since he was received by Prime Minister Ugg, it means that Mogu can indeed do business with Steamwheedle Cartel.
That's enough.
Steamwheedle put on the hood and left the palace with satisfaction. It ran to a small boat on the Isle of Thunder beach. That was the boat that sent it here. It had the logo of Jade Lotus on it.
"You can try your luck at Deepholm."
Just when Steamwheedle was thinking hard, Vigilant's voice suddenly sounded in its ears, reminding:
"Stone Mother's territory contains all the rocks where Azeroth was born. There must be spiritual soil that Mogu needs, but Deepholm is Elemental Realm. You can only figure out how to go there.
After you pass, remember to send a message to Therazane the Stonemother on behalf of Supreme Star Soul to prevent her from taking the path of Fire Lord."
"Ah!"
Steamwheedle was scared to death.
If it really wanted to defend itself, it heard Diakum say:
"I was still wondering why I didn't see you coming with such a good trading opportunity. I'm very pleased to see that you are still so sharp. Sha of Desire has not corroded your outstanding business wisdom, my friend.
Don't worry, I'm not angry.
After all, the undisciplined nature of gnomes means they really need some pressure to curl up better."
"Oh, if you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have to be sneaky."
Steamwheedle Prince curled his lips and called to the boatman to take it away. Its smart mind had already begun to think about how to establish a relationship with the earth element.
Ah, Pandaria is really its blessed place.
"But Nalak'sha Engine will be dismantled."
On a coast of Isle of Thunder, Saloras looked at Mogu War Seal in her hand, she frowned and said:
"Without the Titan engine, how can we continue to shape the Invincible stone figurines of Emperor's Fist?"
"The answer is to use the power of Supreme Star Soul."
Diakum was lying on a very large Mogu reclining chair, with his arms folded and placed under his head as a pillow.
He enjoyed this rare leisure and said to Saloras:
"What the energy of Titan can do, the power of Azeroth can do it. What we need to dismantle is just the core of Nalak'sha Engine and crack this link of Everything Unification Field. Those energy tubes and facilities do not need to be completely destroyed.
Star Soul can use them to restart Emperor's Forge, allowing Emperor's Fist to truly become the force that protects Him.
Well, now Anveena can command more than just insect swarms. Considering that each of the stone figurines of Emperor's Fist Burning Legion is huge, especially the commander individuals Jian Xi and Taixi can be called "colossi".
So, congratulations to Anveena for unlocking the advanced combat unit.
The best thing is that these colossi can be "air-attacked" as long as they are equipped with weapons, and there is no need to kill someone. Ah, my eldest brother finally doesn't have to hide under the West Lake."
"You are saying strange things again."
Oreses, who came over with a few glasses of juice and wagging his tail, complained:
"So is this another magical "spell" from Sea of Darkness?"
"That's right."
Dick blinked, took a sip of juice, and then saw Yrel, Li Li and Lelan wearing Lei Shen's Command Crown driving a ferocious wild Phoenix flying around on the sea and screaming happily.
"Poof"
Vigilant squirted out the juice in his mouth and complained:
"Thunderlord Clan's artifact crown that can command all living things is not for her to tame beasts! Ah, this Yrel, I said before that she is more stable, which is really an understatement! She really should be allowed to learn from Anveena!"
