Do it? You don't have the ability, do you know?
Compared with the "twisting" diplomatic situation of Muradin at Frosthold, the work that Brann Bronzebeard is responsible for is much smoother.
After all, he is a professional in both archeology and diplomacy, and he can carry out diplomatic activities with ease.
What's more, this time he didn't come alone.
Because he was looking for Earthen to discuss cooperation, Brann specially invited the Earthens from Khaz Algar to come over, intending to establish a kinship with the Earthens from Storm Peaks.
Although Bronzebeard Dwarves is also the "descendant" of Earthen, after all, they have grown flesh and blood, and their "purity" is definitely not as friendly as the "own family" of Earthen who are still stone bodies.
Facts have proved that Brann's "goodwill diplomacy" strategy is very correct!
As soon as the Khaz Algar and Earthens rode their cool thunderbirds and landed near Snowflow Plains's "shelter", the Earthens who had been elusive in the local area immediately appeared.
The Earthen Leader invited by Brann is His Excellency Council Protector Merrix in "Four Protectors" in Draenor City. This is the chief executive of Earthen and is responsible for managing the internal affairs of the entire Dorn Island.
It sounds like a polite Executive Officer, but this guy is a "two-faced person".
He also has another identity as the "godfather" of Dornogal Dark Zone.
Yes, His Excellency Council Protector Merrix's life experience is legendary. He has successfully achieved the glorious deeds of becoming the supreme leader in both "black and white".
With such an identity, not only does Merrix have to use a secret identity to contact and unite those rebellious Earthen, but also because the personal thoughts born after this guy broke away from the constraints of Titan Edict are quite "strange" in the first place.
He likes the "sense of danger" of walking on the edge of darkness without completely falling.
Brann Bronzebeard very keenly captured the character of Earthen Leader, so he invited him to come to Northrend to "do something" for Titan City. Once he heard that he could do something for Titan Keepers, Mr. Merrix readily agreed after he hypocritically shied away twice.
What a Earthen version of "three concessions and three concessions".
Brann knows very well that this Lord Merrix is a real "dangerous element", but he is now his friend, and he can be of great use.
"Those local Earthens are coming over."
Brann looked at the rocks on the edge of the Snowflow Plains shelter. He noticed a few dusty Earthen emerging from under the snow. He then said to Earthen who was protecting Merrix by adjusting his robes gracefully:
"As we said before, please ask the Earthens to tell us the secret passage through which they sneaked into Ulduar City. If they are unwilling to participate in the battle against Titan Keepers, I will not force them."
"Humph, I finally came here, how can I be satisfied with such a small goal?"
Merrix sneered and said:
"Brann, with your knowledge and talents, you can become a noble protector even in Dornogal, but your courage is too small. I am also Earthen, so I know what "local fellows" like me are most worried and troubled now!
Don't worry, the Dorn Island and Earthen that I represent have common interests with them, and this alone is enough for me to convince these Earthen who have been cowardly to be tough."
After saying that, the stylish "godfather" of Earthen, who was wearing quite luxurious protective robes, made a "reassuring" gesture to Brann. He strode forward and made a greeting gesture that only they understood to the local Earthen who were not wearing clothes and maintaining their most primitive state.
He said loudly:
"My dear brothers who were born in the soil and rock, I bring you greetings from the distant Khaz Algar and Dorn Island. We were once affiliated with the "Core Tunnel" project. What about you? What is your project code name?"
Earthen on the opposite side hesitated for a moment.
His eyes made of gems looked at Merrix, and there was obviously a doubt rising.
The strange Earthen in front of us is obviously still in a "pure" state, but his way of speaking and behavior are very similar to the flesh and blood creature next to him.
It was as if the cunning soul of a flesh-and-blood creature had been stuffed into the pure Earthen body, which made the local Earthen unsure whether to believe this Outsider Earthen.
But when faced with Merrix's inquiry, local Earthen quickly replied:
"We are affiliated with "Ulduar Creation Department" and are personally commanded by Arcane Guardian Lord Mimiron. Our sub-leader is Urell Stoneheart.
He is Earthen King.
Sorry, compatriots, but we have never heard of Khaz Algar or your existence."
"That's normal. We are a secret project. Just because no one knows, Titan Keepers can squeeze us and destroy us as much as possible to improve the construction progress of that damn Core Tunnel."
Merrix sneered and said:
"The lives of us "countryside Earthen" are obviously not as noble as those of you "city people", but that doesn't matter. We have personally killed the Titan Keepers who abused us. We got our freedom and held it for thousands of years, but what about you?
Looking at the mess you are in now, I know that you have been abandoned, right?
You were kicked out of the gorgeous Titan City?"
"You"
Local Earthen was not irritated. Their emotional activities were obviously not as vivid as Khaz Algar's Earthen. Faced with Merrix's aggressive inquiry, local Earthen just sighed and said:
"Ulduar is already in chaos. Ever since Uriel Stoneheart was killed by Iron Vrykul in "Battle of Mjolwinter", no one has cared about us.
Hundreds of years ago, the evil Loken finally discovered us and drove us out of the Ulduar, where we were hiding for survival.
He also asked Iron Vrykul and Iron Dwarves to kill us, but we clearly did not provoke anyone! Even in the current crisis-ridden Ulduar city, we are only trying to find our "Artifact Shards".
By the way, my name is "Budekrag", I am the owner of the shelter where you are, and the leader of the first group of Earthen Lost Ones who were kicked out of Ulduar."
The local Earthen who was bigger than the other Earthen said helplessly:
"My compatriots asked me to become the second Earthen King, but we have not recovered "Valanar·Sacred Hammer of Ancient Kings". Without the scepter of Stoneheart King, I cannot become a king at all, and I am not willing to become a king.
Maybe Ulduar is no longer our home.
Now I just want to take my people and leave this dangerous place of right and wrong."
"Hahaha, then you should go to Khaz Algar! That is our territory, we own the entire Dorn Island on the ground, and we also have our city underground! We are strong enough there, no one can bully us, and no one can abuse us!"
Merrix said enthusiastically and loudly:
"It's all Earthen, my ancient brothers! You don't have to worry about not being able to blend in. It's our territory, and it has been "stamped" by World Mother!
Supreme Star Soul has taken back Four Elemental Realms. The Supreme Noble One urgently needs some "craftsmen" to strengthen the energy channels for Material World and Elemental Realm. Only we, Earthen, can do this job.
I am also worried that there are not enough people in Dornogal.
So after hearing from my good brother Brann Bronzebeard that Storm Peaks had signs of your activities, I immediately dropped all the things I was doing and rushed over, just to take you home! Don't be afraid, you don't have to wander anymore.
Those Titan Keeperss can no longer oppress you, my simple compatriots.
If you go to Khaz Algar, you will be truly free."
"Actually, the oppression is not that terrifying. Although Loken sent Iron Dwarves and Iron Vrykul to hunt us down, the other guardians did not participate."
Budekrag always felt that this "foreign Earthen" in front of him made him feel uneasy.
But he was still very happy about the invitation.
The current Storm Peaks is too dangerous. Earthen's combat power and "immortal body" to control elements cannot protect them from surviving here. It is naturally the best choice to leave, but Budekrag After thought for a moment, under the strange, anxious and expectant gaze of Merrix, the tall but simple local Earthen finally asked the really important question.
He whispered:
"Merrix, can your Earthen still reproduce?"
"Of course. No!"
Council Protector took a big breath first and teased his overly serious fellow, then sighed and said:
"Our host has been broken for a long time. Now that damn machine can only swallow the Memory Gem of the clan members and record the data information in the database, but it cannot be exported at all.
Those damn Titan Keepers probably had no intention of letting Khaz Algar and Earthen exist for a long time. One less of our people will die now.
But I know that Ulduar can definitely find the authority to unlock Mainframe Storage and "resurrection" those dead Earthen.
This is also the purpose of my coming here.
However, there is still a problem that bothers me."
He reached out and opened his sleeves, showing his rocky arms decorated with various gems to Budekrag in front of him.
He pointed to the gorgeous gems and said:
"Look! When we were injured, we could only find mud and gems to repair our bodies. Over time, we turned into what you see now, with our bodies covered with gems. Outsiders thought it was to show off our wealth, but they couldn't understand that these beautiful gems were just painful scars to us.
The latest ⊥ little ⊥ talk ⊥ is first posted on ⊥⊥⊥!
Budekrag, we used to be very pure just like you Rock Body.
I also heard that in the earliest days, Earthens could Body Replacement. At that time, the console could create the perfect Earthen body. We were also very "luxurious" at that time.
If the body is broken, just replace it. It never needs repairs, but you..."
Merrix finally showed its "fangs".
This cunning Council Protector looked up and down at the few Earthen in front of him, and asked in a low voice:
"You have lived in the dangerous Storm Peaks for so many years, but there are no traces of scars or repairs on your bodies. You "Ulduar City Dwellers" must have secrets that we "Kaz'Aga Villagers" don't know.
So, tell me, my brother, is the "artifact" you have been looking for in Ulduar related to the reproduction of Earthen?"
Faced with Merrix's inquiry, local Earthen immediately fell silent.
But after a while, their leader decided not to hide it anymore. Although Budekrag's brains are not as fast as Merrix's, as the ethnic group in the Titan system that is specifically responsible for "making things", the Earthens all have very high IQs.
He knew what Merrix really wanted, so he reached out and inserted it into his stomach in a very "scary" way. He took out a Gleam Iron Shard with warm light from Stone to Mud's spell. He held the fragment and placed it on Merrix's arm covered with gems (scars).
As the fragments of light passed by, as Merrix stared in shock, the gems used to repair the wounds on his arm fell one after another, and his entire arm quickly returned to "purity".
This scene even made Brann's eyes widen.
"This is the power of Valanar·The Holy Hammer of Ancient Kings!"
Budekrag handed the weapon fragments in his hand to Merrix, and he whispered proudly and helplessly:
"That is the scepter Lord Mimiron specially made for Urrel Stoneheart King. It can give life to ordinary rocks and shape new Earthen. This is also the way our family the One reproduces.
Oh, look at the joy in your eyes, my countryman.
I guessed it right, this is the purpose of your coming to Ulduar, you are here to find a way out for the Earthens of Khaz Algar, but you don't know the existence of Valanar Holy Hammer.
Then help us collect the fragments of this weapon and help us reforge the scepter!
There may not be another Earthen King, but no matter where Earthen will live in the future, we will need this scepter to give birth or resurrect our people."
Merrix holds Holy Hammer Shard in his hand like a treasure.
His gem-made eyes were filled with the light of desire and hope. Council Protector's body was trembling. It's not that he had never seen good things, but the scepter in front of him that could shape Earthen was really too important to them!
No matter how much wealth, no matter how much power, no matter how much prestige, if a race has no successors to pass it on, everything will be in vain.
Brann saw that Earthen from the two camps in front of him finally reached an agreement on the "major matter of reproduction", and immediately stepped forward to remind him in a low voice:
"The dragons will soon attack Ulduar. Maybe we should join them so that Earthen don't have to face their opponents alone.
However, we have to show sincerity.
My brother Muradin Bronzebeard is inviting Frost Dwarves to join this battle over there at Frosthold. I know that both of your families are suffering from harassment here by Iron Dwarves and Iron Vrykul.
We can definitely unite.
Retake Snowflow Plains first, use your Earthen shelter as a base camp, and then form a larger army. More importantly, in this era, only you Earthen still have the method to enter and exit Ulduar."
Brann Bronzebeard rubbed his hands.
His explorer soul was burning brightly, and he looked at the majestic Titan City Ulduar in the distance, as if he were looking at the temple of Mortal realm falling from the sky.
He said:
"I know that the dragons and guardians have brought armies, but if we can sneak into Titan City in advance and shut down some energy facilities, it might make their subsequent battle easier.
We can also determine the coordinates of those Artifact Shards along the way. This will not be easy if we wait until the war breaks out. The chaos will easily scatter the already scattered Artifact Shards everywhere.
If you have located the location of those artifacts over the years, we can even organize a small-scale invasion!"
The old dwarf waved his fist and said:
"While opening the door for World Mother's Warrior, at the same time helping Earthen's find the artifact that they need to live and work, wouldn't it be nice to get the best of both worlds?"
Conservative and cautious local Earthen Leader Budekrag is still hesitant.
These years of hard life in Storm Peaks have taught him to act cautiously, but not long after, an excited Earthen came to him and reported:
"Chief, the Frostborn Dwarvess of Frosthold are here, all of them are here! The leader is a dwarf who is the same as the "meat man" in front of me, and there is also a super big man! That guy exudes the same light as the sun."
"It's the victorious Vigilant Saint! He actually came in person!"
Brann Bronzebeard cheered:
"No need to think about it, Earthens, hurry up and join us. In fact, Vigilant can level Ulduar alone! Believe me, Yogg-Saron is dead."
While Budekrag was looking at him uncertainly, Merrix, who was holding Holy Hammer Shard, said loudly:
"I will contact Dornogal and ask Storm Protector and High Representative to bring all Thunder Roc Knight and Machine-Speaking Sage! We are going to break into Ulduar and retrieve all the fragments.
Whoever dares to stop us, we will kill him!
No matter who he is, Titan Keepers, or any other mess of evil gods, we have killed them before, and we don't mind killing them again."
The rebellious Khaz Algar Earthen Leader looked at the silent Budekrag again, and he scolded:
"Either resist or die. Recognize the reality. My ancient distant relatives, escaping will not bring you any benefit at all. In this matter, you actually had no choice from the beginning!
Titan Keeperss are no more good than their masters.
So, give up those beautiful illusions in the past, and now you should live for yourself and your tribe. This is the beautiful meaning of freedom."
