Rise of the blood elves

312 [Loa’s Conversation, Death and the New Death]

"Nearly 6000 years have passed since the last time we got together."

At this time, in the Garden of the Loa Gods, a paradise specially opened by the trolls for the spirits of nature they enshrined, Raizan, the devil dragon king who signed a contract with the twin kings of the Zandalari tribe and the Zul Empire, protected the hunters and performed his duties. The velociraptor Gonk, the God of Hunting, the direhorn Tokali, the tiger Sivalla, the cheetah Besek, and the giant bear Lennok

Many Loa gathered together, more than ten of them. Some had witnessed the arrival of the "prophet" before, some came from their respective habitats at night, and some came through the projection of spiritual bodies in ancient times. , the number of surviving Loa is far beyond what can be compared 1 years later, there are dozens of them.Their "divine duties" also overlap. For example, the god of hunting worshiped by troll hunters has nearly seven or eight Loa related to it, including velociraptors, tigers, snow leopards, etc.Not all Loa live in the Garden of Loa Spirits, but are distributed in the vast land centered on the Zandalari Mountains. Some places have been captured by the night elves.

In the war 6000 years ago, many Loa traveled to various parts of the world with the Amani and other three tribes in order to defeat the Yaqirs. Since then, they have rarely returned. Their believers in Zuldazar As a result, they gradually disappeared into the long river of time, or switched to the arms of other Loa.

Next to these majestic natural spirits, troll priests with different costumes and beliefs in different gods walked around. They held a variety of voodoo ritual materials in their arms. After being baptized and blessed at the major altars in the park, they were unified. They piled up in front of the Loas, then bowed and retreated into the distance.

Each Loa's body differentiated into an aura, or a green, life-filled light, all converging on the largest altar in the center of the park.In the center of the altar, a "corpse" lay quietly.

The "incarnation" of the outsider who calls himself "the prophet."

"Lezan, it seems that your sense of time has not weakened with age. Yes, it is almost 6000 years ago. The last time we joined forces was to fight against the remnants of the ancient gods, and we were awakened by that reckless witch doctor. Kithix, and the aqirs he summoned from all over the mountains and plains.”

With the help of the priest, the tiger Sivalla who came here in spirit form answered Raizan's question.

For countless years, as the landscape of Kalimdor changed, many nature spirits who previously lived near the Zandalar Mountains and had signed equal exchange contracts with the trolls chose to leave and settle in more livable places. .

Some of them were kicked out.

To some extent, trolls have a symbiotic relationship with the Loa they believe in.Loa gave his power to the trolls, and the trolls worshiped them, using faith and sacrifices to help them gain greater power.

Although the Loa generally maintains peace and harmony, the competition for believers is still going on all the time.Because the number of believers and the level of the overall level basically means the strength of the power that a Loa can obtain through this.

Just like the God of Hunting who was extremely important to the primitive troll society and bestowed swiftness and cunning on hunters.There are simply too many natural spirits that can do this, completely exceeding the trolls' needs, creating a situation of oversupply.On the surface, these gods should all abide by the laws of the forest and compete for dominance. However, these natural spirits that have existed in the world for countless years rarely show hostility to each other.

This is just a microcosm of the troll’s belief system.Slowly, those natural spirits who did not like fighting by nature, or were slightly weaker, left the Zandalar Mountains after the trolls as a whole went downhill.

Most of those who stay here are those who are the most powerful and dominant, whose clergy best meet the needs of the trolls, and whose alternative symbiotic relationship with the trolls is the strongest.Such as Demon Tyrannosaurus Raizan, Velociraptor Gonk, etc.

"I didn't expect that you summoned us this time for such a thing, to repair the body of a ghost," said Hakeya, a snow leopard who lives in the frozen land of the far north. The state of her spiritual body made her melodious voice even more ethereal.

Akunda, the thunder lizard who also came in the form of a spirit body, nodded noncommittally, divided part of his power, and transferred it to another pile of things. The most essence of various dinosaurs and beasts, the heart and brain that carry the most life force. Wait for the essence to catalyze, and guide the refined life essence to the "incarnation" on the altar.

Laizan took a deep breath after hearing this, his eyes flashed with a strange color, and he said in a deep voice:

"I have never seen such an existence. The height of its vision shocked me. It actually knows an origin power beyond our cognition."

"We, together with the nature represented by the wild demigods, or the essence of life behind it; the light, one of the essence of the world, represents the holy light in the hands of the tauren sunwalkers, Elune, the faith of the night elf priestess; with magic , pure order in the form of the nearby Well of Eternity; the shadow represented by the ancient gods, and the kingdom of the dead where the souls of the dead return to form formed by death."

Lezan named the five known sources of power.

"But he said that the world is not as simple as we think. The shadow is actually the embodiment of the void. And there is also a sixth source of power in the world, which is chaos that is diametrically opposed to order, and the evil energy derived from it , created a twisted void evil energy that gave birth to thousands of demons in the infinite, demons, these are things we have never heard of. Although we have long known that there must be an origin force similar to chaos existing on the opposite side of order, we have never I don’t know, its manifestation is an unknown thing called evil energy.”

"hiss"

Shadra, the mother of poisonous spiders, suddenly neighed, moved her feet, click-clacked around in the shadows, and questioned in a hoarse voice:

"My intuition tells me that the ghost who calls himself a prophet is bragging and has deceived you."

"Then what are you doing now"

A sharp voice suddenly came from behind Zhongluoa.

It is Gani, the slender jaw dragon, synonymous with cunning, treachery, and petty theft. He is the patron saint of scavengers and thieves. He is also the weakest among the Loa and the least good at fighting.It is precisely because of this that she did not participate in the restoration of the "Incarnation" and was more like a marginal person in this special party.

Shadra stirred up a pool of essence irritably, threw it on the altar, separated part of his own life force to bless it, "Don't interrupt me, Garni, of course it also deceived me, but that doesn't stop me from thinking it is A liar."

Garni snorted and retreated into the shadows, "It's not because you are afraid of its power."

At this time, Laizan spoke very sensibly:

"As for the six origin powers, he did not give us a sufficient explanation to convince us, and the words were unclear, so you have doubts. But don't forget, without a certain height of vision, it is impossible to understand the world so thoroughly. The truth about the sixth source of power and void is by no means fabricated out of thin air. I am more inclined to think that"

Having said this, Lezan paused.

"It doesn't even bother to communicate this to us."

All the people were silent, thinking about the chaos caused by the "prophet" during the day, and felt a sense of powerlessness slowly creeping into their hearts.Those who have never experienced it personally may have some doubts.

After a while, Gonk's deep voice sounded as if coming from the deep forest:

"Didn't you notice anything special?"

Seeing that the other Loa were looking at him, Gonk raised his head towards the "incarnation" in the center of the altar.

"There are two special powers in this incarnation. One is a replica of the magic power of the Well of Eternity, and the other is a natural force that is similar to the breath of the mother tree Garnier, and is even inextricably linked to the Emerald Dream. Power. Not only are they closely integrated with each other, but they are also completely capable of taking whatever they want from this incarnation."

When he said this, Zhongluoa noticed the problem that he had previously ignored. He let go of his perception and checked it, and all of them showed surprised expressions.

Seeing this, Gonker chuckled and said:

"I think he is really the traveler outside time and space that he said. I think the two most special and powerful things in Kalimdor are not bad, so I modeled these two powers after the Mother Tree and the Well of Eternity. , injected into his own incarnation. Who among ordinary existences has such means, and is so casual and understated?"

Laizan opened his mouth, and after a moment he said meaningfully:

"So we should repair this incarnation as soon as possible and send him away as soon as possible. The sixth source of power in his mouth, chaos, always gives me a very bad premonition. The dark clouds of war seem to be gathering in an invisible and distant corner. On."

"Oh my Lezan, it's not like you to be afraid." Gani's sharp sneer came from far away.

Lezan shook his head, "No, I am fearless. When evil comes, I will stand up. But my intuition tells me that this disaster may far exceed the war 6000 years ago."

Lezan is the most powerful among the Loa present, and his strength is closest to that of the wild demigods inspired by the Titan Guardian Freya.When the power reaches a certain level and reaches the extreme in the field in which it exists, it will gradually overlap with the original power and be alert in advance to anything that may pose a threat to it.

His words made all the Loa feel heavier.

Suddenly, the Loa all looked to the southeast with confusion, where was the forest where the outsider who called himself "Prophet" settled.

"Do you feel it? All the souls are attracted by outsiders. I even have to wonder if it is the master of the kingdom of the dead."

"Well, it seems that a lot of souls have escaped from Bwonsamdi. It seems that guy will be sad for a while."

The Loas chatted with each other about new discoveries.

"No, it's not just Bwonsamdi. If this continues, I'm afraid that outsider will annoy other beings in charge of the undead."

Lezan said something meaningful and returned his attention to the restoration work.

"Bwonsamdi's throne of death is going to fall into the hands of others. I feel really sad for that guy." Shadra chuckled sinisterly, his tone full of gloating.
