The Throne of the Elements is neither close nor far from Auchindoun.
Half a day later, he arrived in Auchindoun.
This ancient Draenei sacred tomb has become a ghost town.
A city of bones, a city of ghosts.
Countless skeletons roamed inside and outside the city, their pale, resentful souls suffering endless torment, but the most terrifying thing was still inside.
Auchindoun was divided into several parts by different factions.
Nexus-Prince Shaffar " of the Ethereal race, led his people to occupy the " Mana-Tombs," not only because he was attracted by the Arcane energy and souls there, but also because he felt that the Draenei had hidden a large amount of treasure there;
A group of Arakkoa exiles, led by " Talon King Ikiss," have seized " Sethekk Halls," seeking to heed some unseen guidance and summon the Raven God Anzu.
Archbishop Maladaar of the Draenei, one of the few survivors of the Auchindoun blast, was driven mad by the horrific sight and now rules over the Auchindoun Crypts, ruling over the Draenei spirits there;
Finally, a group of remnants of the Shadow Council occupied the " Shadow Labyrinth," investigating Auchindoun's secrets while constantly fearing the power of " Elemental Lords of Sound Murmur," who was trying to infiltrate this world and Devastation it.
Nobundo's assessment that the situation here is complex is indeed accurate.
None of them are easy to mess with.
Although Jiang Jie had little interest in the Ethereal Ethereal Clan, he might need their help to deal with another formidable opponent he was about to face.
The Arakkoa Exiles, while unlikely to summon the true Raven God, are at least connected to that being, and Jiang Jie also wants to see for himself;
Archbishop Maladaar, who survived the Auchindoun explosion, was naturally quite powerful, but Jiang Jie had no interest in him. However, there was another Naaru in the Auchenai Crypts, constantly devouring the souls there, and Jiang Jie wanted to go and see for himself.
As for the tragic souls of the Draenei, Jiang Jie had no interest in redeeming them, but if it came to handy, he wouldn't mind doing so.
Of course, his main purpose was to deal with Murmur.
Murmur is the real potential threat to this world.
That guy is here to Devastation the Outland!
Jiang Jie wanted to explore all four instances and four factions.
Jiang Jie is now going to the first one.
Auchenai Crypts.
When Jiang Jie concealed his aura and entered, he saw a dozen or so Draenei living inside, including children, women, and some pilgrims kneeling on the ground with devout expressions.
Auchindoun, after all, is a sacred place for the Draenei.
The rest of the land was occupied by different factions, leaving these stranded Draenei with no choice but to make pilgrimages here.
The problem is, they can only stay in the lobby; they don't dare go inside.
Because it has been taken over by a madman.
An atmosphere of sorrow permeated the air, yet it was also intertwined with piety and solemnity.
This is the burial ground of the Draenei, the Land of Eternity, and also the burial ground of a Naaru.
Many years ago, that Naaru died due to exhaustion of energy and was then placed here.
But now it has caused a terrible disaster.
"They've gone mad! Everyone's gone mad!"
As soon as Jiang Jie entered, he heard an elderly Draenei muttering to himself, "My priestly companions have all gone mad, everyone has gone mad! I'm the only sane one, so I was driven out! No, no, I must stop them, I must redeem the souls of my people!"
"Redemption? How can you be redeemed? Some things aren't as simple as you think."
Jiang Jie over and said softly, "Redemption isn't so easy. Do you think Archbishop Maladaar's Necromancy experiments were the real disaster in Auchenai Crypts? Have you forgotten what's truly buried inside!"
"Of course, it's the souls of my people... Wait, who are you? You're human? You're from Honor Hold? What are you doing here? This is the holy land of the Draenei, you're not welcome!"
The Draenei suddenly roared, their faces contorted with rage. "What are you doing here? Quickly, someone has invaded our territory! My people, take up your weapons and drive him away! Or kill him!"
"What, have you gone mad? Have you really gone mad? Mad Ramdor, Death Priest of Auchindoun? For the past 500 years, you have guarded the souls of the Draenei. You wanted them to enjoy this peace, undisturbed by anyone. But as the Death Priest, do you really not know what happened here?"
Jiang Jie said calmly, "I can tell you definitively that the one who truly causes the restless souls of the Draenei is not Archbishop Maladaar, but rather your most revered and cherished Naaru: D'ore!"
"No, no, what are you saying? What are you saying? What nonsense are you spouting!" Ramdor waved his hands frantically, "I don't understand what you're saying!"
"Aukchinton was originally established, not only to bury the souls of the Draenei, but also primarily to bury Narud'ori. Aren't you here on pilgrimage to pay homage to De'ori?"
Jiang Jie said calmly, "What am I talking about? Heh, then what are you trying to hide?"
"Who... who are you?" Ramdor pointed at Jiang Jie, incredulous.
The other Draenei gathered around, their eyes gleaming with distrust.
"I am Velen's friend, a friend of Nobundo, the holder of the T'uure Shard, and the one who has come to redeem you."
Jiang Jie reached out, T'uure fragment appeared in his hand, radiating boundless light. "You should all have seen the Naaru before, and know it, right?"
"This... this really is a fragment of the Naaru?"
"It's a fragment of the Naaru! By the Holy Light, could he really be a friend of Velen and Nobundo?"
"But weren't they all said to be dead? We lost contact with them after Shattrath fell!"
Ramdor, who initially seemed insane, suddenly calmed down. His blue eyes fixed on Jiang Jie, he asked, "The holder of the T'uure Shard, the emissary of the Naaru! You really know Velen and Nobundo? They... are still alive? My other people are still alive?"
When Shattrath was breached, Velen and Nobundo led a group of Draenei into Zangarmarsh, deceiving even the Orcs and the other Draenei.
These Draenei had no idea that a portion of their people were still alive in the distant Zangarmarsh.
Velen is their spiritual leader, and his continued existence is the greatest encouragement to these Draenei.
"Yes, they are still alive. There are still some Draenei alive. I saw them not long ago."
Jiang Jie smiled and then told them the basic situation.
Ramdor was visibly excited, and all the Draenei were excited as well.
They assumed that all the Draenei were here, and that they were the only survivors.
They weren't alone; many more of their people were still alive!
This news is so encouraging; it has greatly boosted morale.
They immediately discussed that they must find Velen, find their people, and live with them.
However, some Draenei believe that they should not abandon Auchindoun or their other people.
We should find a way to kill Archbishop Maladaar, redeem the other Draenei, and continue to guard this sacred tomb.
Ramdor suddenly knelt down on one knee.
The others all knelt down on one knee.
They were not kneeling before Jiang Jie, but before Naaru.
The Draenei's devotion to the Naaru transcends everything.
" The Naaru guided us and sent his messenger here!"
Ramdur pleaded, "Yes, I am Ramdur, the Death Priest! I beg your help to kill the mad Archbishop Maradal and redeem Narudori! You must have a way, right?"
"I don't know if there's any way; we'll have to see D'ore first."
Jiang Jie chuckled, " The Naaru guide us! Now, follow in my footsteps and delve into the Auchenai Crypts! I believe your companions, upon seeing me, will return to the guidance of the Holy Light!"
