(Additional update for "konstanzzz" brothers [2/5])
When Diakum led Lightforged into the fog, what he saw was a land covered with scars of thousands of years of war, where the three paths of death, life and void were intertwined and confronted, as if there was no end in sight for a real "Great Cycle".
However, when Exodar takes off again from Pandaria with golden light, the Pandarens waving goodbye below can finally bid farewell to the past and welcome tomorrow with a new attitude.
Watching Exodar disappear into the clouds, Zhou Zhuo outside the eaves of Temple of the Jade Serpent felt nothing but gratitude.
He was overcome with emotion for a moment and decided to record the achievements of Vigilant and his Holy Light Warriors in Pandaria, and write this period of history into a special book to remember for future generations.
Pandaren people regard this as the limit of what they want in life. "Leaving a name in history" means immortality in their achievements and lives for them.
Diakum and his Holy Light Warriors undoubtedly deserve such recognition.
Of course, Lao Zhou may have to do this behind the back of Mr. Shen-zin Su. After all, Lorewalkers have decided to establish a branch in Wandering Isle and travel around the world with Pandaren, the most adventurous among them.
As it happens, there is a major event waiting for them that Pandaren needs to send an envoy to attend.
It is said that the prince of Quel'Thalas, the next His Highness Sun King Kael'thas Sunstrider, is about to hold a grand wedding. Although Pandaren has not received the invitation yet, the "Sunwell female ghost" with a special status invited Pandaren to Quel'Thalas in a private name before leaving.
Obviously Anveena hopes that Quel'dorei can establish good diplomatic relations with Pandaren, a big force.
That wedding will be held in two and a half months. The speed at which Shen-zin Su travels through the Endless Sea can definitely match the speed of sending Pandaren's messengers to the northernmost point of the Eastern Continent.
Since this is the first formal diplomacy, Pandaren attaches great importance to it.
It is said that the head of Taran Zhu will personally lead the team, and Shado-Pan, Lorewalkers and Golden Lotus will all send people to participate in this mission.
Quel'Thalas is just the beginning. This delegation will also visit Ironforge and Stormwind Kingdom at the invitation of Brann Bronzebeard. On the return trip, they may also go to Broken Isles to pay homage to the lost empire of Highborne.
Their last stop was Dazar'alor, the capital of the Troll Empire.
It is said that Golden King will hold a grand banquet there to welcome Troll Empire's ancient and glorious allies back to the civilized world. They may also discuss how the two major forces, Zandalari and Pandaria, can join forces to divide the interests of the South Seas trade route.
In this way, Pandarens only need to gather a diplomatic team to visit most of the world's forces within a few months.
This is really quite hassle-free for them.
It is said that Kaldorei will also have an envoy from Black Crow King attend the prince's wedding of Quel'Thalas. In this way, Pandaren can submit his credentials at the wedding, and then arrange a separate visit by the envoy.
This follow-up diplomatic plan was also informed to Diakum who had just left Pandaria, and Vigilant had no objection to it.
If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely attend Kael'thas's wedding, and then he will be able to meet this group of optimistic and down-to-earth black and white men again.
"Next, we will fly directly to the Stormwind Kingdom. You will have to spend some "lonely time" at Stormwind."
Next to Diakum's "Golden Throne", Saloras reported softly:
"My sister and I must go back to Draenor. The ciphertext we seized from the Burning Legion has been decrypted by us, but we need to cooperate with the star map to locate the specific traces of Titan Soul Eonar.
Only flagships like Tempest Keep have reserves for such a large star map. We need to use the Mechanar, which is docked at Draenor, to get in touch with Light Cosmic Domain.
Grand Executor Haddon's recruitment work there should have come to an end, and then he can set off to find Titan Soul. Army of the Light should provide help to the best of his ability. Even in the eyes of the most fanatical Naaru, a True Titan God is a strategic ally that must be won.
Therefore, you don't have to worry about the safety of that fleet.
At least until the traces of Ms. Eonar are located, they should be unlikely to have a fatal conflict with the Burning Legion."
"Hmm."
Diakum nodded. This is indeed an important step. After all, it is related to Eredar's "save the world" and must not be treated casually.
After a while, Vigilant stretched himself greatly and said:
"I was thinking about a serious question just now. Should I have lunch on the spaceship today, or should I stay hungry until Stormwind and then taste His Majesty Llane's royal chef skills? I heard that Captain Fariya went to Valley of the Four Winds specifically to recruit several Pandaren chefs for us?"
"Yes, those chefs are all from Halfhill and are the proud disciples of Ms. Sun Tiezhang, the great master of cooking. They abide by the ethics of chefs and are determined to spread Pandaren's "Six Ways of Cooking" to the world.
Among them, one Pandaren apprentice named "Nomi" was even more determined. He vowed to elevate Pandaren's cooking art to be as famous as Monk's way.
I have to say, this is indeed a rare thing. Er, what is your expression?"
Saloras noticed the change in Vigilant's expression. She asked curiously. Dick shrugged and said seriously:
"That "Nomi" you're talking about, I've seen, a little Pandaren cooking apprentice. When I first got on board, I saw him practicing cooking in the kitchen of the spaceship, but with all due respect, I think little Nomi may have more potential to become a "Flame Grand Magus" than to become a chef.
It's better to let Oreses check him out.
Isn't Oreses the most powerful flame master in Army of the Light?
She will definitely be able to discover Nomi's "fierce" talent. To be honest, it's best not to let him get close to the kitchen. I think Ms. Sun Iron Palm specially sent Nomi to the spaceship, probably because she wanted to send Halfhill away as an unstable factor."
"You must be kidding me again."
Saloras doesn't believe it at all.
It wasn't until more than ten seconds later that the fire alarm on the Exodar spacecraft sounded sharply from the kitchen.
After Archbishop of Holy Twilight went to deal with the "fire situation", her face was filled with disbelief, and she said doubtfully:
"How did that Nomi do it? Why can he summon Fire Elementals while cooking? Obviously Exodar will isolate this foreign element when flying. Is it really as you said, that little Pandaren is a flame genius?"
"He is the strongest contender to be the next Fire Lord, I'm not kidding!"
Vigilant said it very seriously, and then he couldn't help laughing.
The gossip about Nomi is a long-lasting joke in Azeroth's chef profession. Of course, it is just a joke.
Nomi is a very good chef, and he will become the spokesperson for Pandaren's cooking in the future. With this guy on the spaceship, Diakum finally doesn't have to worry about his Lightforged Warriors not being able to eat delicious and nutritious food.
"Xinghai white rice" and so on, that's enough!
After ordering several lunches, Diakum got up from the Golden Throne.
But when his humanoid Naaru lost the energy connection with the spacecraft, Exodar did not suddenly slow down or fall. On the contrary, the spacecraft continued to move forward steadily at a constant speed.
This is the biggest modification this spacecraft has undergone in Isle of Thunder!
Lightforged Artificer used three oversized Mogu technology capacitors to make an "energy storage device" for the spacecraft. These three capacitors recovered from the collapsed Throne of Thunder will store the recovered energy when Diakum supplies energy to the spacecraft, and enter the energy supply mode when Vigilant leaves the navigation station.
This flight was also a test.
Theoretically, three fully loaded capacitors can allow the spacecraft to continuously travel in the atmosphere for several hours, and can even be "charged by nature" through the Mogu lightning rod installed above the spacecraft.
This is a pretty nice improvement.
But the biggest significance for Vigilant is that he finally doesn't have to sit on that unlucky "Golden Throne" all the time.
Although there are no signs yet, Diakum is quite superstitious and believes that if he sits on that unlucky throne for a long time, it will definitely cause disaster.
Yes.
It's just a matter of time!
As he muttered, he walked in the spaceship with his hands behind his back, waving and blessing every Lightforged who saluted him, and walked all the way to the treatment room of the spacecraft.
Yes, Exodar, as a fully functional escort satellite, of course has a treatment room.
Although setting up such a cabin on a spacecraft filled with Paladin and Priest is somewhat "formalistic".
If a wounded person has not been cured and filled with Holy Light's "saturation treatment" from being sent to the ship to arriving at the treatment cabin, the doctor on duty here will most likely not be able to take him back from the hands of death. At most, he will collect a corpse for the poor guy and recite two verses from the scriptures.
Therefore, most of the time, this treatment cabin actually has a very unlucky function, and it will be called "Hall of Valor" here.
Well, that's another advanced grammatical interpretation of "morgue".
However, in the past few days, the treatment cabin on Exodar has indeed rarely performed its duties. A "patient" has been living here these days, receiving treatment and recuperation from Priest in preparation for the upcoming "major surgery".
When Vigilant pushed the door in, Ms. Vashj, who was wearing a hospital gown, had just finished lunch.
Although her face is still very haggard and she has not yet recovered from the sadness of witnessing Empress's second departure, this does not prevent Ms. Vashj from having a good appetite today.
A large portion of crystal fried dumplings, a bowl of eight-treasure rice sprinkled with sugar, a whole sweet and sour squirrel fish, a large bowl of nutritious beef bone soup and a portion of chef Pandaren's special yogurt ice cream.
To be honest, a big human would be able to survive eating these, mainly because the sugar intake is a bit scary.
However, Vashj's belly is still very flat. Considering that she is a spy master, it may be explained that she has a well-proportioned figure but it does not affect her appetite.
"What are you looking at?"
Vashj scolded very dissatisfiedly:
"How long do you plan to imprison me for? More than thirty Priests have come to see me in the past few days, and your two lieutenants have also come. I made it clear to them that I am healthy and do not need treatment.
What you are doing is illegal detention!
Is this the way Holy Light Walker behaves?"
"You think you are healthy, but that does not prevent your Empress from thinking that you need treatment. Ms. Vashj, you may have cried too sadly at that time. Do you need me to repeat the request that Queen Azshara made to me before leaving?"
Diakum rolled up his sleeves and said:
"Eat and drink enough before going to the toilet. We are going to start "treatment". The hidden injury in your body is quite serious. The energy-affected injury has stuck your strength at the critical level, making it impossible for demigods to improve.
This is obviously a problem that must be solved.
But considering that you are one of the sequelae of "radiation sickness" caused by the super energy radiation when Well of Eternity exploded, conventional treatment methods are of no use to you.
We need to request the intervention of Void Profound Mystery
A Flesh Remolding!
Don't frown, madam, you can completely trust my control skills. You will be as beautiful and graceful after your "rebirth" as you are now."
"I believe in your integrity and skills as Saint, but I don't believe in any energy related to the void."
Vashj intertwined his hands and made a "daa" motion.
The latest ⊥ little ⊥ talk ⊥ is first posted on ⊥⊥⊥!
She said loudly:
"Those Nagas in the deep sea who have abandoned their glory are the products of Highborne's excessive exposure to the void. Our sensitivity to energy makes it difficult for us to maintain a stable appearance under the influence of external energy.
Tell the truth.
If I wanted to cure my "illness", I would have accepted Elisande's kindness a long time ago, and she has repeatedly offered to help me with the treatment."
"Then why didn't you accept it?"
Dick shrugged, shook his head and said:
"I'm not asking you. Patients should obey the doctor's instructions, and the emotions and secrets hidden in your heart cannot be hidden from me. Please rest assured that I promised Azshara that I will cure you, and I will not meddle in it."
Seeing that Vashj still didn't want to cooperate, Vigilant stretched out his finger and flicked it. Something in the air rippled at this moment, making Vashj cover his head and let out a scream.
Her memory lost control, and even her emotions became confused.
My courage and persistence melted as quickly as the snow-capped mountains under Sunflare, while the sadness stemming from my inability to protect Empress, my hatred of my own incompetence, and my doubts about the value of my existence came like a scourge.
Vashj considers himself a strong person.
After witnessing the destruction of the Elven Empire, she believed that nothing in this world could shake her.
However, she obviously has her own "ideas" about her mood today.
Facts have proved that in front of Diakum, who controls both "Sha Power" and "Heart Power", all the emotions of all life are "plasticine" that can be played with at will.
Firm?
Firmness is nothing but an illusion that deceives oneself and others.
There are cracks in everyone's heart. As long as you find the weak point and tap it gently, no matter how determined your soul is, it will collapse into sand in an instant.
Diakum now has this ability to "find weaknesses".
For him, this was as simple as eating and drinking. He saw with his own eyes that Vashj fell to the ground in less than ten seconds, crying like a child, just like Confession told him the pain and secrets hidden in his heart.
Even, Dick has a feeling.
As long as he wants, he can "shape" her into another look without hurting Vashj, just by detaching and reorganizing her emotions and spirit.
"Holy Corruption"A soul has never been so simple.
"Fortunately, it is me and not others who possess such profound skills, otherwise the world would surely come to an end."
Dick complained harshly in his heart.
He bent down and gently comforted Vashj, letting the cold-hearted spy master lie obediently on the operating table. After the latter's spirit and will were "narcotized by speech therapy", Curse of Flesh's secret reshaping process began.
After Diakum had completed Flesh Remolding on the dragon, the reshaping of Highborne was no longer a challenge to him.
It was easy to find the organs and veins in the body that were affected by the explosion of Well of Eternity, and reshape them back to the healthiest state. At the same time, he helped Vashj nurse the injuries accumulated through so many years of hard training, and also used his dark Entropic Energy talent as Devourer of Worlds to strengthen her shadow adaptability.
After pulling it to the limit that a mortal could bear and "blessing" it, Flesh Remolding entered the final stage.
However, a genius-like idea suddenly popped up in Dick's mind. He blinked and adjusted Unity of Heaven and Man's state to the "Demon Dispersion Technique" that strengthened his intelligence. In an instant, all kinds of inspirations surged in his mind like a storm.
Considering that Vashj will return to Suramar City next and have a very exciting battle of wits with the old and young of Highborne, and also shoulder the sacred responsibility of protecting the body of Empress, therefore, Diakum decided to "strengthen" the spy master a little.
He already has a lot of "ideas" about Flesh Remolding, and this is the time to make a "reasonable" attempt.
"What are you doing?"
A few hours later, Saloras's exclamations sounded from outside the treatment cabin. Archbishop of Holy Twilight rushed in quickly and looked at the spy master Vashj who was "inhuman" on the operating table. Saloras exclaimed:
"Did this arrogant Highborne offend you? Why did you take Flesh Remolding to such an exaggerated level? Are you trying to create some kind of strange "super elf"?"
"It's just a harmless "hidden form", don't make such a fuss, Saloras."
Diakum's ten fingers move, and the extremely artistic manipulation of Entropic Energy is like a needle thread passing through flesh and blood, sewing the blood and bones of the "super elf" in front of him.
He whispered:
"Suramar City is a very magical "black box structure" to the outside world, especially during the period when Magic Plague was rampant. After Elisande closed the magic barrier of Nightwell, it was difficult for even Highborne to detect what was happening inside.
The body of Azshara hidden in Nightwell is an unstable factor.
Even from a "preparedness" perspective, we must confirm that Ms. Vashj, who is about to return to Suramar, has the ability to protect Azshara in any crisis situation."
"Sounds reasonable."
Saloras nodded, then pointed at Vashj and said:
"But is this why you gave her six hands, two hearts, and three lungs?
And if I'm not mistaken, her eyes, brain, endocrine system, immune system and circulatory system have all been strengthened by you to a level that is quite outrageous even among demigods.
Do you confirm that you are making a Forbidden Guard guard for Queen Azshara, and not a Void Monster that may go crazy at any time and kill the entire Suramar?"
"Well, you reminded me, Saloras."
Diakum suddenly understood, he patted his forehead and said:
"I just said I forgot something, nerve reaction speed!
Yes.
As the "Female Forbidden Guard" who protects His Majesty the Emperor who has been sleeping for ten thousand years, Ms. Vashj's reaction speed must be increased to the level of "nanoseconds"!
This is important.
If we had a choice, we should also make another set of golden Forbidden Guard armor for her. Unfortunately, the technology of Army of the Light obviously cannot reach the level required for that armor.
So, let's leave it at that for now.
At her current level, with "hidden mode" turned on, it should be easy for her to withstand the siege of several demigods and complete the counterattack."
Vigilant took a few steps back.
He admired the body of Vashj that was revealed after the darkness Entropic Energy dissipated, as if admiring a "handicraft", without any trace of profanity in his eyes.
After all, it is well known that Vigilant has no interest in weak females without tails.
After a moment, he said to Saloras:
"Do you think that this "Forbidden Guard template" of Flesh Remolding should be spread to the entire Azeroth"
"Please, there are enough monsters and monsters in this world, and this planet is already in enough trouble."
Saloras said sincerely:
"Supreme Star Soul is already very tired, don't make it more difficult for her, okay?"
"Uh, well, that's a shame."
