Can't get Light Butcher anymore? -Additional update[45]
(Additional update for "Book Friends 20170816215224737" brothers [4/5])
Diakum left the Other Side with a mission that sounded very heavy.
He wants to find a container for Sire Denathrius's "talisman" that also has the concept of Life and Death's power. This thing sounds very advanced.
In the official history, when the core sacred object of Bastion was damaged, Little Blue Ones also encountered the same dilemma.
They also needed to find such a container to reshape the sacred object. At that time, Little Blue Ones, who claimed to be righteous, chose a very outrageous plan. They came to Ardenweald for help, and then a goblin with a spirit of self-sacrifice sacrificed himself.
The self-sacrificing goblin is called "Willow Wisp".
That plot was once evaluated as "the most underworld plot in the underworld version", which directly caused Bastion, which had a bad reputation, to become infamous again. If it weren't for the powerful covenant skills, it is estimated that in that underworld version, Little Blue Ones would really be called a bastard.
Although the physiques of goblins are indeed very magical, and they don't require too much smelting after being caught, and they can become perfect containers that gather the concepts of "Life and Death" on the spot, but as Diakum, as "Friend of the Fae", how could Diakum really let such an underworld thing happen again in front of his eyes?
He decided to see Winter Queen one last time before leaving Ardenweald.
Goblins are the creations of Winter Queen. She could create goblins before, and now she can naturally shape a container for Diakum with her bare hands in which Sire Denathrius will be buried in the future.
When Dick rode his Moon Goddess Sword Reindeer away from the Other Side, he looked back in the dark woodland at the building behind him that was breaking away from Forest Core.
Bwonsamdi said when asking the Queen for help before that it would not stay in Ardenweald and continue to "disgust" people. Now the Queen has helped it kill Mueh'zala, Bwonsamdi naturally wants to fulfill its promise, tear down the Other Side building from Forest Core, and, as it says, find a nice little country as the future "paradise" for the Trolls people.
However, what Diakum was looking at at this time was obviously something more "profound".
He felt the changes in Sarkir, and was pleased to see that Sarkir had also chosen its own destination.
For Ancient Eredar, who has experienced too much, after achieving his original great goal, "imprisoning himself" in Shadowlands is not an unacceptable ending.
Even if Sarkir was indeed lost.
Once, under the temptation of Fel and the temptation of death, for a while, the Shaper almost forgot what he wanted to do by turning himself into a monster.
It is a common problem for Force Walkers to be bewitched by the moral principles of the Force, not to mention that Sarkir is walking with two negative forces at the same time, and it is very normal for him to lose his target and so on.
After all, it is not Kil'jaeden. There is an obsession that can never be let go that pulls it and does not get lost in the sea of stars.
However, Sarkir was really not kidding when he said that he and Diakum had some kind of deep bond. When Tomb of Sargeras and Tomb of Sargeras met for the first time after more than 20,000 years, Dick was keenly aware of Sarkir's confusion, and then used the "word therapy" offensive to bring it back to the "right path".
But there is no need to say that this is all due to Diakum.
A pure and determined soul like Sarkir only needs to find an opportunity. No matter how complicated and dangerous the dilemma is, it cannot trap it. Without such an outstanding mind, it would not be the first Eredar to be looked at differently by Sargeras.
This is not the foundation of the soul that can be shaped by simple morality or the road, there are always some things that are innate.
Just like family background, if you don't have it when you are born, then there is a high probability that you won't have it in your life.
The reason why Eredar is able to dominate in this era of chaos in the Star Sea is because there are so many clansmen with this kind of "unique soul".
Sarkir, Kil'jaeden, Velen, Hutton, Diakum, Veilara, Twins, Neri and a series of other archbishops, even Yrel who is just a "child" now have their own personality highlights.
It can only be said that the "supermodel race" created by the excellent numerical values is indeed outrageous, and it is a bit too bullying for other ethnic groups to compete with Eredar on the same stage.
"Big guy! Big guy, Pianpian and I sent Anzu and Rukhmar to Soulseed Garden."
Just as Diakum was riding Great Horned Deer away from the Other Side, Willow Wisp's cheerful voice sounded from the forest. The goblin flew over with his pet Mao Mao in his arms, circled Diakum several times, and said in a joyful tone:
"The queen summoned a lot of goblins to weed Soulseed Garden. I heard from Moonberry, who is still very ill, that the queen will reopen the great garden soon. This good news has now spread throughout Ardenweald, and the spiritual seeds who were forced to wait for resurrection are praising the queen's kindness.
But I guess you must have convinced the Queen."
Willow Wisp blinked and said:
"The Queen is very stubborn and will not change her decision. In the past, only Mr. Marasmius could reluctantly persuade the Queen, but now you can too.
You're so awesome, big guy."
"Really? I think I'm pretty awesome too."
Dick laughed and made a farewell gesture to Huln Highmountain who was guarding the place with the soul beast in the forest next to him. In the previous battle with the Other Side, although most of Mueh'zala's henchmen were vaporized by Solar Fist, a small number of evil followers still escaped.
At this moment, Huln is leading the hunters of Wild Hunt to chase them. These dogs cannot be allowed to disturb the beautiful order of the forest.
"When you go back."
The voice of Huln came from far away, and the super powerful hunter shouted:
"Don't forget to call me. I also want to see my hometown and children again."
"Just wait patiently, it won't be long."
Dick replied, and then pulled the reins of the sword Reindeer, letting this divine shimmering thing run lightly through the forest. However, Willow Wisp, who was holding Mao Mao, was a little sad. She lay on Dick's shoulders and said:
"Are you leaving?"
"Yes, although I have only stayed in Ardenweald for a few days, and although I have a good sense of this forest, I can't stop. I have to go."
He said to Willow Wisp:
"But don't worry, after I finish what I have to do in Shadowlands, I will take many, many Partner of Justice with me to the Material Star Sea. To a world called "Azeroth".
Do you know where it is?"
"The goblin knows!"
Willow Wisp said loudly:
"Old Bwonsamdi is from Azeroth, and many powerful Wild God are also from there. The Queen once said personally that the eternal spirit of Azeroth is much more powerful than the Immortal of other worlds.
She said it was because Azeroth was an "outstanding person".
There are also many spiritual species who swear that Azeroth is Heart of the Stars, and all major events that happen in that world will directly affect the entire Material Star Sea.
So it must be a great place.
The fairies have a "travel wish list", which records where they would like to travel most if they could leave Ardenweald.
Azeroth is at the top of the list.
Unfortunately, that is just the expectation of the goblins. The goblins cannot leave Ardenweald. The Queen said this is to protect us."
"Yes, with your brains and style of conduct, you really don't know what outrageous things are going to happen when you go outside."
Vigilant grinned and said:
"But, since the fate of destiny is about to collapse, Winter Queen may also use a more inclusive way to re-establish rules for the forest.
Especially in the future, after the curtain of Life and Death is broken, when you can enter Material Star Sea in a "limited" way like other Force creations, maybe the goblins' travel wish list can become a reality.
Until then, be sure to visit Azeroth.
Let me tell you, they have built statues of me in many cities, and they call me Saint and a hero, but in fact, I am just a Azeroth passing by Warrior of Light."
"Aww, that sounds awesome, big guy."
Willow Wisp's eyes widened, but then she said awkwardly:
"Also, Pianpian just told me that you are the legendary "Light Butcher". I'm sorry, I said a lot of things I shouldn't have said to you before. I didn't know your identity at the time, so I commented on Light Butcher casually.
That's not good."
"Oh, how strange that the goblin would actually apologize?"
Diakum stretched out his hand and let Willow Wisp fall into his palm. He asked teasingly:
"Tell me, who asked you to apologize? And taught you to say so many words of apology."
"Uh, it's Mr. Marasmius."
Willow Wisp scratched his head in embarrassment and said guiltily:
"Is the goblin's apology not sincere enough?"
"Of course, in our place, when you sincerely apologize, you have to sit down and burst into tears. I was just joking. I'm not angry because the goblin didn't say anything wrong."
Dick reached out and flicked Willow Wisp's little head, and he said with emotion:
"I was also immersed in the small contribution I made, but the goblin's sharp evaluation made me realize that I had offended Sin of Pride. Light Butcher could not really save those worlds, so Light Butcher still has a long way to go.
Don't worry, I won't hate you just because the goblin tells the truth.
So, when we go to Azeroth in the future, will the goblin go with me?
There must be many people there who will like you, and maybe they will worship you as a "god"."
"Oh ho, can fairies also become gods?"
Willow Wisp widened his eyes and said:
"Sounds so interesting."
"Have some confidence in yourself. You Night Fae goblins are the direct descendants of Winter Queen. What's more, although you are unreliable, you still have a place in Night Court. The superposition of so many identities is enough to make you a great creature that cannot be desecrated in the eyes of mortals.
But goblins cannot bully people with these privileges.
I'm not sure about other worlds, but Azeroth has strong folk customs and is famous for being nosy, and the people there don't get used to bad goblins doing whatever they want."
Diakum reminded, Willow Wisp nodded vigorously, then sat on Diakum's shoulders and said loudly:
"Then Moonberry will definitely be beaten severely in Azeroth. Moonberry is a bad goblin. But you are leaving, so the goblin decided to give you a gift. The goblin heard that this is a symbol of friendship in the outside world."
Willow Wisp scratched his head and said with a sad face:
"But the goblin doesn't know what you lack, and my Fae Treasure was stolen by Forest Spirit last month. Now I have become a pauper goblin. It will take a long time to save up Fae Treasure again."
"Forget about your unlucky "Fae Treasure"."
Dick sighed.
Goblins have a strange nature, and the things they can regard as "treasures" are all weird things. Maybe the goblins like them very much, but to be honest, they really don't mean much to other people.
He thought for a while and said to Willow Wisp who wanted to give a gift to express friendship:
"You have made a sturdy and useful Dreamcatcher for me before. Although it is very girly, it is indeed a very powerful "Fae Artifact", so this is regarded as a gift.
Don't worry too much about this, the Queen's Soulseed Garden is about to be rebuilt, and you should also get busy."
"Yes, the fairies have been very idle since Soulseed Garden was abandoned. If you think about it carefully, the fairies still miss their busy life before."
Willow Wisp winked and said:
"The fairies will send the spiritual seeds they take care of into the garden. After those spiritual seeds grow up and are reborn, before they return to Material World, in order to thank the fairies for their care, they will leave us some strange gifts.
That's how Fae Treasure came about in the first place.
Just wait, big guy. When I save Fae Treasure again, and when Mao Mao grows up and turns into a beautiful moth, I will ride Mao Mao to the Material Star Sea to play with you."
"Well, you will most likely not be able to find me when you go to the Material Star Sea, because I may not be there by then."
Dick smiled and said:
"But I will definitely entertain you when friends come to visit. Okay, I'm going to meet the queen. You go and play quickly. Take advantage of the last few days to have fun, and then you have to work. Remember to go to Azeroth together then. Come on, pull the hook."
Warrior of Light stretched out his little finger very childishly, and the fairy smiled and touched it with his little finger.
In her laughter as clear as the wind in the forest, Great Horned Deer finally arrived at the temple of Heart of the Forest.
Winter Queen is already here waiting.
He seemed to have guessed that Diakum would come. When Dick arrived at the Queen's Hall through the big purple mushroom ring Mushroom Head, he saw Winter Queen sitting on the throne, staring at him with a "subtle" look.
"I thought."
The Queen said:
"You deliberately seduced Willow Wisp just to turn her into the "container" you need."
"You are the Queen of the Woodland, how could you say such dark words in front of Warrior of Light? Even if I jump from here the Maw, I will not do such a thing in the underworld."
Diakum said righteously:
"I hit it off with the goblins under your command, and now I am Friend of the Fae. I will not allow others to harm these cute little guys. However, this means that I need you to create a suitable container for our cause.
If you want Sire Denathrius to be satisfied, you have to make this container with your heart."
"It's not difficult, it's just some concept building for me."
Winter Queen waved his hand.
The heart energy light around her was beating and converging, constantly weaving and shaping between the two, and the prototype of a Life and Death container soon appeared.
But the queen hesitated for a moment and asked:
"After solving Denathrius, you will go to the Maw and Zovaal for the final showdown, but I want to know, will you step into Zereth Mortis?"
"You are not allowed to go near there. This is the rule of First Ones. It is a hardware restriction written in the core of your program."
Dick heard the hidden meaning of the queen's words, and he said doubtfully:
"But now you want to go to Zereth Mortis, why?"
Winter Queen remained silent and did not answer.
But Diakum didn't ask further questions. He probably guessed the queen's plan, and then nodded and said:
"This is indeed necessary!
Eternal Ones's weak power is not only limited by your own limitations, but also related to the form of your birth. When you cannot truly grasp the power and are only the container for the power, how can the power be perfectly obeyed by you?
If you want to become the real God of Death, surrendering yourself to "The One" is just the first step.
But it's hard.
I believe that First Ones will not leave such obvious loopholes for you to exploit, which means that you and Primus will most likely have to go through a true "battle of life and death" before you can get back what belongs to you."
"That's something Primus and I need to consider."
Winter Queen shook her head and stopped talking about it. Instead, she raised her hand and threw her forest mark out, which fell into the hands of Dick. She said:
"My sister has chosen the perfect messenger. I must thank you for everything you have done to get here. Unfortunately, I have nothing to give you, so take this container."
It will definitely satisfy the ambitious Denathrius, and with the meaning it carries, I believe that when ambition dies, the entire Shadowlands will thank you Consecration.
I wish you a smooth journey, Vigilant, and may your Sunlight sentient beings.
But let me ask one more question, what are you going to do with Denathrius?
He is Eternal Ones, He is immortal."
"Wouldn't that be better?"
Diakum turned around and left, waved his hand and said:
"Doesn't that mean that Denathrius needs to endure endless torture to try to atone for his sins? You know, I have always wanted to see, what are the limits of "Lightforging" as a means of "forced kindness"?"
