Azeroth Trail of Light

It's probably a bad idea to let Brian and Zhou Zhuo together to explore the Hall of Rocks. These two guys are a certain group of people who are plagued by bad luck. To put it a little bit exaggerated, even if they go out for a walk or two, they can find one or two hidden monuments.

But Dick has no choice. His strength has been evenly distributed throughout the storm cliffs. At least until the Night Watch Corps is deployed, he has no good way to save manpower, and he seems to explore those who were left behind by the Titans. It is definitely not realistic to let people like Mogu and Heroic Spirits, who are only good at frontal combat, go to the mission of the ancient ruins.

Even most of the time, he had to do it himself.

For example, at the same moment when Brian and Zhou Zhuo entered the rock hall, Dick's figure also appeared at the edge of Dragonbone Wilderness accompanied by the flash of thunder. With his hair down, he squinted his eyes and looked towards the west of the mountains. Between the Borean Tundra and the Icecrown Glacier, there was a unique small plain standing surrounded by the mountains.

It was a ring-shaped land, as if an entire mountain range had been cut off from the middle. From above, it was covered with snow, and there were lakes, rivers, waterfalls, and even a small piece of land in the ring-shaped ice field. A volcanic rock that appears to be ignited.

That is the destination of his trip this time, Wintergrasp Lake.

The Wintergrasp Lake in the game is a battleground between players. This is definitely not the case in the real world. This place can only be reached by flying mounts. For ordinary soldiers, it is more like a legendary land.

In fact, there are not many descriptions of Wintergrasp Lake in the game, but as more and more people know about the ruins of the Titans, Dick speculates that this place should be the warehouse where the Titans stored materials and raw materials. The small snowfield is covered with crystals of various elements. This kind of high-grade goods does not seem to be produced naturally. It is very likely that the Titans collected them on this planet and stored them in Dongyong. Lake, used to craft Iron Legion and Guardians.

These elemental crystals and precious ores have always been extremely valuable strategic resources, and it was the same for Dick, but this time he didn't come here exclusively for these resources, he also wanted to find a few special existences.

Archavon, the guardian of the rock, and his brothers, the powerful and the last sane leader of the rune giants, lived in the deepest part of Lake Wintergrasp in the treasury of Arcavon, which was said to have been made by the Titans. They have never stepped out of that treasure house for tens of thousands of years, and they have not even participated in the split of the Titan Guardians, as if they were forgotten by time.

"swish"

The golden flash of lightning stopped in front of the gate of Alkavon's treasure house. The overflowing thunder was like a broken stream of water, constantly circling around Dick's body. Standing in the snow, he raised his head and looked at the The majestic treasure house in front of me is a huge building made by directly hollowing out the mountains on the shore of Dongyong Lake. The outer layer is made of black and purple steel gates and columns. As time goes by, the treasure house has lost its past. Gorgeous, those precious stones and metals that exist as decorations have also become uneven under the tempering of time, and the top is also covered by thick snow, but the more this is the case, the more amazing the momentum of this treasure house is.

Like a lion entrenched in a snow mountain, it is sleeping, and when it wakes up, it can roar in the mountains.

Dick stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and touched the surrounding rocks and metal pillars. Many pictures were drawn on it with special skills, which clearly recorded the Titan Guardian who led the Iron Legion to quell the elemental disaster. Looking at those blurred murals, the paladin could feel the pride and glory emanating from them. The Iron Legion, who returned from victory, probably engraved these pictures on the stone wall for commemorative purposes. Unfortunately, they have lost this glory now.

On both sides of the large platform in front of the hall, there is a slightly smaller palace. Judging from the tools left in it, it should be the workshop where the rune giants who lived here used to make equipment and weapons. Now it is the same. It has lost its function, and judging by the dust accumulated on it, it must have been unused for thousands of years.

Dick returned to the gate of the treasure house again. The two black metal gates were closed tightly, and there were traces of flame magic burning in the center, which completely sealed the steel gate. It seems that after the giants sealed off this place, they have no plan to open this treasure house again, and Dick can only rely on speculation to infer what happened to the rune giants back then.

But such a situation did not bother Dick. He strolled to the bottom of the pillar of the gate, where there was a decoration like a metal table. Dick reached out and knocked on the table a few times, and a bright projection of stars appeared In front of his eyes, it was like a lighted lamp, and the light would dance with the cold wind blowing around, making it look extremely beautiful.

Of course, this is not just a lamp. The bright starlight can distinguish the identity of the visitor. As long as it is a life that has been approved, it can enter the treasure house through the starlight. This is a secret that few people know, and Dick is one of these people. one.

He stretched out his left hand, and the next moment, like a faint dizziness through a portal, a light flashed in front of his eyes, and he was standing inside the Arcavon Treasure House. Right in front of him was a tunnel leading down, full of The blue moss is used by giants, so the passage of this ladder is very wide, enough to accommodate 30 Dicks to pass through at the same time.

And behind him, there is a small square table, on which is placed a book made of stone, the pages alone are as tall as a person, in the game, it is Alkavon's rock diary, which records After the Titans left this world, everything that happened in Wintergrasp Lake, but in the real world, there was something recorded on it. Dick stepped forward and put it in the storage ring, as a gift to Brian. Gift of Bronzebeard.

Such a thing, even if it is placed in the Explorers Association headquarters in Ironforge, can also serve as the treasure of the town hall.

After doing all this, the paladin didn't stay any longer, his figure turned into a purple thunder light, disappeared in place, and quickly moved down the stairs.

Arcavon is a lonely giant. What he likes to do most is to stay in his own rock hall, sit there, and relive the past in his memory, although there is not much joy in that past.

This giant is nearly 13 meters tall when sitting on the ground, and his body is like a moving hill. It is no exaggeration to say that if it weren't for Alkavon's talent in manipulating rocks, the earth might not be able to support his body. Like the other Guardians, the Rock Guardian is expressive and vivid, and looks like a real life, even though he was born from the cold rock.

As the first batch of rune giants made by the Titans, Alkavon and his brothers were endowed with great power, which can be seen from the natural magic lines on his shoulders. This is a good hand at using magic. .

No creature will voluntarily lock itself in a cage that has not been opened for tens of thousands of years since it was born with sanity. Alkavon and his brothers are not lunatics different from ordinary people. They have no choice but to seal the treasure house. lift.

In Alkavon's memory, when the Titans still existed in this world, it was the most orderly and dynamic period in the entire world. All creatures in the entire world fought under the planning of the Titans and performed their duties. At that time, the elemental disaster had just passed, and the world was still devastated. The great titans built laboratories and devices all over the world that could help this broken world recover faster.

The Rock Guardian participated in the battle to expel the Lord of Elements. After the battle, he and his brothers were appointed by the Titans to guard Wintergrasp Lake because they didn't like fighting, guarding the precious resources that the Titans collected from all over the world. Here There are also complete smelting and shaping workshops. In his spare time, Alkavon always likes to roam the land, watching the world wake up from the cold winter.

It was a good time, but after the Titans left, everything went bad!

Because they are far away from Ulduar, the rune giants in Arcavon's treasure house did not participate in the division of the guardians. Giants are some creatures that are extremely insensitive to changes. By the time they find out that everything has turned bad, it is already too late up.

The most powerful Odin took his Valagar and ran away. The most upright Tyr had a head-on dispute with Loken. Afterwards, the entire guardian camp was mobilized to crusade against someone who was said to have "stolen" something. Tyre, it was a struggle that spread half the world, and Alkavon met with Tyre just before that struggle happened.

Alkavon still cannot forget the warning of the mighty Tyr.

"Guardian of the rock, Loken is crazy! He has been corrupted by that existence! Don't believe any of his rhetoric! Go back to the treasury and guard there, once Loken gets the materials in the treasury, his evil army will destroy the whole world!"

"Protect that treasure house! Never forget your mission!"

At that time, Tyr was holding his Silver Hand hammer and was walking on the road to Ulduar to confront Loken. The strong wind made his cloak rattle, just like on the battlefield. Fangfo, the upright guardian, will never bow his head and never be discouraged.

Infected by his will, Arcavon said aloud,

"Let me help you, Tyr! If Loken is really crazy as you said, then you need help!"

"No, mighty Alkavon, you guard the treasure house well, that is the greatest help to me and the world!"

Tyr declined his help, and embarked on the path of seeking answers alone. Arkavon returned to Lake Wintergrasp, and immediately summoned his brothers and his tribe, the rune giants in Wintergrasp. The lake sets up the battlefield for the war that may come.

That was the last time Arcavon saw Tyr.

One month later, as Tyr said, the Iron Legion came to Lake Wintergrasp. The soldiers who had become crazy and chaotic asked Alkavon to open the treasure house and dedicate the rare materials in it to Loken, but Alkavon refused. , and then the battle begins!

That battle lasted for a full 10 years. The entire Wintergrasp Lake, the most proud workshop area of ​​the Titans, was completely destroyed by the flames of war, and all revived lives returned to sleep. The battle was on the verge of extinction, but it was also these 10 years of fighting that made the once invincible Iron Legion taste the pain of falling into the sand for the first time. They collapsed and fled the battlefield, and were killed by the elemental guardians and their iron-cast elemental army Dead bodies littered the fields, and to this day, the souls of the Iron Legion still roam the ice fields of Wintergrasp.

After the end of the war, Alkavon and their brothers closed the gate and locked it completely.

Until today!

Such is the story of Alkavon the Lone Giant, the Keeper of the Vault.

"Stop! You are not allowed to come in again!"

"Get out! Intruders! This is not the place for you!"

The loud voice awakened the mighty Alkavon from his memories. The leader of the 20-meter-tall rune giant raised his head. Outside the rock hall, something that had never happened in the past tens of thousands of years seemed to happen. .Invasion?

Intruder!

Arcavon's gaze became dangerous. He stood up, stretched out his hands as thick as battering rams, the stone hall door burst open under his will, and the entire treasury fell under Arcavon's anger Trembling, the mountains and rivers and the earth are singing together, and the guardian is already angry.

"Let me see who dares to break into this treasure house!"

"Let me see, after tens of thousands of years, whether Loken has forgotten the failure we brought him!"

"The rock will not forget! The earth will not forget! Invaders. Your end is here!"
