War Hymn of Warcraft [WOW] - Chapter 21

Walking out of the cave, Zhan Zhixing realized that, before he knew it, the bright twin moons had already set, and the sky over the Nagrand Prairie became bright again. Garrosh hadn’t seen the sun for a long time, so he squinted his eyes when he first came out, looking at the terrain around him.

“Why did you fall here?” Garrosh looked at the scene in front of him and felt more and more familiar. After searching carefully in his mind for a long time, he blurted out in surprise, “Holy Mountain Oshu’gun, protected by the spirits of the ancestors, you are unexpectedly The space crack is brought here.”

“This is Oshu’gun?” Although he had been aiming at Oshu’gull all along, Zhan Zhixing asked in feigned surprise in order to prevent revealing his secrets.

Garrosh nodded: “I used to come here when I was a child. In the earliest days, the tribe of orcs originated here.” He pointed to a mountain peak emitting bright light in the distance, with a slightly proud look on his face He continued: “There is Oshu’gun, the most beautiful place in the entire Nagrand Prairie, and it is also a holy place for all orcs. But something has gone wrong there recently, and the orc shamans have not been able to contact the spirit of the ancestors for a long time. .It just happened that we fell near here, let’s take a look together.”

Speaking of this, Garrosh turned his head to look at Zhan Zhixing: “What’s more, in the very beginning, every shaman needs to be selected by the pilgrimage. Since we are already on the side of Oshu’gun, let’s come Go on a pilgrimage.”

Hearing Garrosh’s words, Zhan Zhixing also turned his head to look at him, with a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth: “Didn’t you look down on shaman priests before, why did you change your mind this time?”

Garrosh opened his mouth, and the human figure that appeared in his dream suddenly appeared in his mind, and he froze there. It wasn’t until Zhan Zhixing patted him on the shoulder that he quickly recovered: “It’s nothing, I was short-sighted before. Let’s go to Oshu’gun first. I remember that every shaman should have a few bottles that can If you see the potion of the ancestor spirit, drink it first, and see if you can find some traces of the ancestor spirit around here.”

He scratched his head in confusion. Although he knew that Garrosh was deliberately changing the subject, Zhan Zhixing’s intuition told him that it was better not to continue asking. Zhan Zhixing took out the potion that Gaiyaan’s grandmother gave him from his backpack, drank it in one gulp, and then took a big step back with a “Oh my god”, and sat slumped on the ground.

“…” Garrosh: What kind of divine twist is this?

Looking at the confused Garrosh, Zhan Zhixing pointed to Garrosh’s side, his voice trembling: “You…you…can’t you see…she’s right beside you…”

Garrosh scratched his head, still not understanding what Zhan Zhixing was talking about. Suddenly, his eyes glanced at the potion that Zhan Zhixing drank, and a light bulb lit up on Garrosh’s head: “Did you see the spirit of the ancestors?”

“Uh…ah…? The spirit of the ancestors…that’s right…” Zhan Zhixing scratched his head in a sudden realization, only to realize that he had made a big joke. Ghosts are nothing in Azeroth, you are still a paladin, do you understand the natural disaster nemesis? Zhan Zhixing kept complaining about himself in his head, isn’t it because he is afraid of ghosts and so on, as for bringing him from the original world to Azeroth.

After calming down, Zhan Zhixing had time to look at the ancestor spirit he had encountered for the first time. Maybe because he knew that he had accidentally scared the young shaman, the female ancestor spirit still stood there in embarrassment, until he saw Zhan Zhixing stand up again, and then took a step forward to communicate with Zhan Zhixing.

“My name is Kashur, and I’m an orc shaman who just died a while ago.” The ancestor spirit who called himself Kashur introduced himself, “Gaiyaan and I are good sisters, maybe you have seen her?”

Zhan Zhixing nodded, with a little shyness on his face because of the embarrassment just now: “Hello, Kashur, I am a new shaman who has returned to Mag’har, and my name is Zhan Zhixing. This is my first time Seeing the spirit of the ancestors with my own eyes, some… are not used to it.”

Kashur frowned, showing an expression of “I understand”: “I didn’t think about it. After losing the pilgrimage, it is inevitable that the new shaman will make a fuss when he meets the ancestor spirit for the first time. Come jokes, we’re all used to it.”

After finishing speaking, Kashur felt that he should explain what he did just now, so he smiled mischievously: “Just now I saw you and little Garrosh together, I was more curious about you, so I got so close Watch yours.”

“Please…don’t be so close to a shaman next time…” Zhan Zhixing speculated for a while, but still suggested to Kashur reluctantly. Until now, Zhan Zhixing’s heartbeat has not returned to normal speed. Just now, because the potion is not easy to drink, Zhan Zhixing closed his eyes and prepared to suffocate, but when he opened his eyes again, he found that there was a translucent glass in front of him. , grinning, and a female orc who is completely floating in the air. If he hadn’t been tempered by various wandering spirits in the Plaguelands, God knows whether Zhan Zhixing would have been bored in one breath.

Kashur also scratched his head in embarrassment and smiled: “It’s been a long time since I saw my creature. I always forget that I can still be seen by shamans. I must pay attention next time.”

Seeing that Zhan Zhixing was talking to himself, Garrosh talked to him, pointed to the air around him, and Garrosh asked tentatively: “The one beside me… is Kashu Zongmu Er?”

Zhan Zhixing shook his head, then pointed to the open space beside him: “Her name is indeed Kashur, but she is here now.”

Seeing Zhan Zhixing’s gesture, Garrosh bowed to Zhan Zhixing’s side, and said with a serious face: “Mother Kashur, like Grandma Gaiyaan, you have trusted me from the beginning to the end. I will definitely remember this in my heart. I am sorry that I was not able to rush back to the village to meet you when you passed away, but this time we are here because of the change in the holy mountain, please do your best to help us.”

Kashur waved his hand, only to remember that Garrosh couldn’t see him, so he signaled Zhan Zhixing to act as an interpreter with his eyes. Zhan Zhixing nodded knowingly, and began to repeat Kashur’s words for Garrosh.

“I’m not very clear about the changes in the holy mountain.” Kashur looked in the direction of the holy mountain of Oshu’gu, and sighed helplessly, “In fact, strictly speaking, only those in the holy mountain Only the soul of the ancestors can truly be called the spirit of the ancestors who guide the direction of the tribe. There is a very magical power there, which can show the past, present and future to the spirits of the ancestors. But when I want to enter the holy mountain, but I felt the wailing of the spirits of the ancestors inside.”

“Howling?” Garrosh frowned after hearing what Zhan Zhixing repeated, and fell into deep thought.

Matriarch Kashur’s story obviously hasn’t finished yet, so he left some time for Zhan Zhixing to retell, and continued: “I can feel the powerful shadow inside, and this shadow even caused our ancestors to split painfully. In St. Around the mountain, the soul fragments of the ancestors produced by the pain can be seen everywhere, violently attacking everything. Moreover, a group of uninvited guests have recently come around the holy mountain, as if they came for the crystal on the holy mountain.”

“Crystal?” Garrosh grabbed another key word, and kept making up all the possibilities in his mind.

Seeing Garrosh’s pensive expression, Matriarch Kashur’s face was obviously proud: “As expected of Grom’s child, although he is only seventeen years old, he is already worthy of a great responsibility. Oh, this There is no need to paraphrase the sentence, let’s continue.”

Garrosh was only seventeen? Zhan Zhixing was taken aback by this news, recalling the umbra of Garrosh he saw in the Emerald Dream, and his fragile resistance to life absorption at the hero level, Zhan Zhixing suddenly understood everything, and something happened in his heart A bit of pity for Garrosh, but it didn’t show on his face.

After exchanging information with Matriarch Kashur, Garrosh seemed to have a general understanding of the whole matter. Garrosh stopped contemplating, and Garrosh frowned, with a cloudy expression on his face: “Judging from what Matriarch Kashur said, the group of people who dug up the crystals on Mount Oshu’gun and the shadows inside Oshu’gun should be Two groups of people. Judging from the description of Matriarch Kashur, the group who dug up the crystals should be of the ethereal family. We Galadar once had business dealings with them, but it was terminated for some reason. Although they are a group of innocent It can’t benefit the early ones, but the force used is not yet a ‘shadow’.”

Having said that, Garrosh paused for a moment, thought for a while before continuing: “Besides, I remember that the previous shamans once said that most of Oshu’gun’s energy is concentrated inside, compared to the huge energy inside. , the outside is pure scum. And as far as Mother Kashur feels, the internal energy of Oshu’gun has not dissipated. According to the character of the ethereal group, it is impossible for them to assign people outside before the internal energy is harvested. .Since they only dared to collect outside of Oshu’gun, but they didn’t take away the most important things inside the holy mountain, it can only show that there are other forces inside, and they are stronger than the ethereal clan.”

After hearing Garrosh’s analysis, Matriarch Kashur’s face became more and more proud. Nodding in satisfaction, Matriarch Kashur also agreed with Garrosh’s point of view: “That’s right, the spirits of our ancestors outside the holy mountain also speculated in the same way recently, and not only possesses powerful evil power, but also can We think there is only one possibility to force the Voidlings to abandon the interior of the holy mountain.”

“The one inside should be a demon!” Matriarch Kashur and Garrosh said in unison.

The more Zhan Zhixing knew Garrosh, the more he felt that this future warchief was not simple. Zhan Zhixing had heard about Oshu’gun’s situation in the game before, and it was indeed demons that occupied it. After all, Matriarch Kashur and the ancestors of the orcs who passed away during this period of time made suggestions together, and Zhan Zhixing was not surprised to be able to reach this conclusion. But Garrosh determined the type of the enemy just by relying on a few words of information from Matriarch Kashur, which has to be said to be a very strong ability to predict the battlefield.

Matriarch Kashur was obviously very satisfied with Garrosh’s performance, nodded at Zhan Zhixing, and said with some concern: “Although you know the types of enemies inside, I still advise you not to take risks. After all, you can The ones here should be high-ranking demons, I’m afraid the two of you…”

Garrosh patted his chest confidently—since he learned about his father’s true side, Garrosh has regained the glory of the Hellscream family, and now he has reached a higher level of heroism. Regarding the demons here, Garrosh still has some confidence: “Mother Kashur, please rest assured. As long as I don’t encounter high-level Burning Legion, such as the servants of Archimonde and Kil’jaeden, at least I can still get away with it.”

And Zhan Zhixing smiled shyly, squatted down, picked a grass stalk from the ground with his right hand, and held it in his hand. I saw him bowing his head and muttering something, his right hand suddenly emitted a dark green light, and the broken grass stem suddenly grew wildly, and in the blink of an eye, it became one with the ground and became a complete plant.

“The spirit of life? The protection of the spirit of the ancestors, another heroic shaman!” Zhan Zhixing just stood up when he heard Kashur’s mother’s joyful voice. In the world of shaman priests, the hero class may not necessarily master the use of the spirit of life, but the shaman who has mastered the spirit of life must be a hero class. Even if it is not now, as long as time passes, within a few months, a hero rank will be born.

And Garrosh looked at Zhan Zhixing with a constipated expression on his face, as if looking at a monster: Mother Kashur doesn’t know, but Garrosh knows that this guy in front of him has only been in contact with shamanism for a long time. It has been approved by the Spirit of Life. If it takes a while longer, this guy must not surpass himself and become the first person in Galadar.

Seeing Garrosh’s entanglement in Zhan Zhixing, he snickered in his heart, but still made an indifferent expression on his face: “It’s all thanks to Garrosh, because of his injury, I accidentally got I got the response from the Spirit of Life. But because of my own strength, I haven’t reached the hero level yet, I’m just a half-hero shaman.”

Hearing this sentence, Garrosh seemed to grasp something, and immediately looked at Zhan Zhixing with a little more scrutiny, but it was well concealed at the bottom of his eyes. Matriarch Kashur immediately felt relieved: “A warrior from the Hellscream clan, plus a shaman approved by the Spirit of Life, I believe you can help our group of ancestor spirits who have been wandering outside the holy mountain for a long time.” Good news. But since you want to enter the holy mountain, wait for me to summon all the spirits of the ancestors who are wandering outside. At least inside, we can feel the emotions of the rest of the ancestors more intuitively.”

Zhan Zhixing conveyed to Garrosh Matriarch Kashur’s wishes, and Garrosh, who was already determined to win, would naturally not refuse his ancestor’s help. Moreover, for the invisible and immaterial ancestor spirits, entering the holy mountain as soon as possible can avoid the final dissipation. So Zhan Zhixing and Garrosh headed towards the holy mountain first, while Matriarch Kashur went back to gather the rest of the wandering ancestor spirits in a way unique to the ancestor spirits, and prepared to march deep into the holy mountain.
