MTL - Civilization of Azeroth: Start the Great Pyramid-Chapter 319 Petra's Calamity
Unlike Kel'Thuzad, a very unusual genius, Hercula is more in line with the outside world's perception of mages: withdrawn and eccentric, doing research that others can't understand.
The blood samples collected from Norgefogg were separated and diluted, and dropped into three different solutions in turn. Then Hercula used different arcane changes to act on the solutions and observe the changes in the test tube.
Li De watched Hercula's concentrated operation from the side, which made the young mage feel a little uncomfortable.
"Sir, is there anything wrong with my operation?"
Li De waved his hand.
"It's alright, you don't need to care about me, I don't understand, just watch the fun."
Hearing Li De say this, Hercula also had the confidence to explain it with great interest.
"What I'm doing is combining several very different arcane responses. This is the latest research in Dalaran, an experiment we couldn't do until two years ago.
To be able to do this, we must thank Master Khadgar. It was he who discovered a brand new herb. This herb has a strong affinity. As long as a certain amount of juice is added to the reagent, it can make the reagent have unprecedented power. stability.
And this high-quality herb is also named 'Khadgar's beard'. "
Although Li De didn't quite understand it, he still listened with relish. Then Hercula began to record the data, and the whole process did not shy away from Li De.
With no sense of confidentiality, Li De shook his head.
"Does this important data make me see that it really doesn't matter?"
Hercula was stunned for a moment, then laughed a little embarrassedly, and finally told Li De the truth.
"Actually, it's not a big problem, because I don't even know what these data represent. I just collect data according to the teacher's request. As for what results can be drawn from these data, and how to do the next research, only Ke Teacher Ersugard knows."
"Wait a moment."
Li De raised his hand and stopped Hercula.
"Do you know what the subject you are doing now is?"
Hercula looked bewildered.
"I don't know, I guess the teacher may want to study "The Practical Application of Khadgar's Beard in Magical Experiments"?"
Li De could not laugh or cry. After a long time of trouble, Hercula didn't know what he was doing. He was only responsible for drawing blood, debugging agents and writing data every day. Even a mage apprentice could do this kind of work. There was absolutely no need to arrange a A senior sorcerer.
Although he recognizes Kel'Thuzad's sense of secrecy, such behavior is very much like a mentor who squeezes students by doing a project. No, that's exactly what Kel'Thuzad did.
Hercula, who was doing odd jobs for his mentor, was still ignorant at this time. After he carefully sorted out the data, he tore off the page and put it in an envelope. Later, he would send today's data to Da. Laran's mentor sent it over.
But before Helcula sent the data, Kel'Thuzad himself came to Alterac, and Khadgar came with him.
"Teacher, today's data..."
Seeing the mentor who came over, Hercula took the initiative to hand over the data.
"Oh, okay, I've worked hard for you. You go back to Dalaran and wait for me. I've worked hard for you these days."
After Hercula left, Kel'Thuzad opened the letter and glanced at it briefly, then put the letter on his body casually.
"The data is not wrong, as expected, our research on the goblin's body structure has already yielded results."
…
Lothar prepared a secret room for several people for their conversation. In this room, Kel'Thuzad and Khadgar sat on one side, and Li De and Nogfogg were on the opposite side.
"During this period of time, through the autopsy of the remains of more than a dozen goblins, we came to a conclusion that the high degree of compatibility with fel energy is a characteristic of the goblin race."
Because of the previous war, it is not surprising that Dalaran has a considerable number of goblin remains, and for their research process, Li De and Nogfogg said they were not interested in learning more about them, and they were more concerned about the results.
"Then why? There has to be a reason."
Kel'Thuzad and Khadgar looked at each other, and finally Khadgar cleared his throat.
"To fully explain this matter, we may need the help of archaeology. Only by completing the textual research on the origin of the goblin race can we know the truth.
However, based on the existing results, we can also put forward a conjecture hypothesis: in the early days of the birth of the goblin race, fel energy, as the original force, participated in the shaping of the goblins.
We used to think that everything in the physical world was made of arcane magic, and now it seems that this theory is somewhat untenable. To be precise, it should be arcane - fel energy, which together build the material world.
It’s just that arcane spells represent order and are more stable than chaotic fel energy, so in most cases, we can only observe the existence of arcane spells.
Now we know that arcane and fel energy can be transformed into each other, which means that in the process of shaping the entity, the material transformation of the goblin race, fel energy is dominant.
It's just that for some reason, arcane magic has not been completely transformed, and the entity of the goblin race has not dissipated with the collapse of absolute evil energy because it retains a certain order.
Therefore, the evil energy exists in a stable state in the body of the goblin, so that if it is not anatomical level research, it is difficult for us to find that the goblin and the evil energy have such a relationship. "
Kel'Thuzad added just in time for the academic Khadgar to be eloquent when he spoke.
"To put it bluntly, if the goblins become warlocks and master the fel energy obtained from the outside world, it is difficult for us to observe."
The result is a mixed blessing for Reed and Norgefogg.
Fel energy is an important source of power to shape goblins, so the use of fel energy by goblins is almost harmless to themselves, and goblins with fel energy in their bodies are difficult to be observed by the outside world, which means that goblins can create warlock troops with no side effects. But correspondingly, this incident has no small security risks to the entire Azeroth. Fel energy has no side effects on the goblins themselves, but it is extremely destructive to other races.
Especially if fel energy spreads among goblins, the outside world will lack the means to distinguish whether a goblin is a warlock or not, which means that fel energy and the entire race of goblins are bound together.
In the mainstream view, fel energy is undoubtedly evil energy. If goblins become the representative race of fel energy, then a race like the Kaldorei who resolutely fights against fel energy is likely to provoke it. conflict.
…
In the end, no good results were discussed in this matter. Dalaran's research on fel energy and goblins continued, and Reed and Nogfogg were also thinking about countermeasures.
After all, one cannot rely solely on the help of others. Du Hu of Hanhai has a strong spiritual background of self-reliance, passively waiting for others to rescue, which is never the character of Hanhai people.
Nogfogg doesn't understand fel and arcane magic, but he's still an excellent engineer.
The construction of the heavy industrial zone here in Alterac is already on track, and the financialization of ore in the Kingdom of Stormwind is also relatively smooth. As the hub of the alliance, Alterac has always had the potential to become an economic and financial center. The exchange opened here by the grid quickly aroused the interest of the trader group.
Several tasks at hand were going well, and Nogfogg felt that he could devote more energy to studying the forces imposed on him.
Just like when he first came into contact with engineering, he used the mechanical thinking that belongs only to engineering to study the fel energy in his body.
"The following are the effects of an equivalent amount of fel energy on various objects:
Rock and steel are most affected by fel energy... Generally speaking, inorganic materials are more susceptible to fel energy than organic materials... Is this the reason why the water source and soil environment of Gorongas will deteriorate rapidly?
In other words, the environment in Golongas became unsuitable for plant growth. It is likely that it was not because the evil energy directly transformed the local plants, but because there was no environment suitable for plant growth, which led to the widespread withering of plants?
And in organic matter, the inanimate is more likely to be affected by fel and collapse than the living?
Truncated wood crumbles sooner... Still growing wood crumbles slower? It's still short, but it's slower than chopped wood...
Animals are the most difficult to collapse directly under the influence of fel energy, but animals will be distorted by fel energy and become another kind of monster..."
In Nogfogg's room, the walls were covered with tables of various sizes, which recorded in detail the time when the fel energy under an equivalent amount and various substances were affected, collapsed or changed.
In this clumsy and exhaustive study, Nogfogg felt he had found a law, that life was resistant to fel energy.
It's just that after reaching this conclusion, Norgefogg's research began to fail, because he knew very little about the original power of life.
But Nogfogg was not discouraged because of his lack of knowledge about life force, but the Huanhai Protector did not lack researchers on life force.
Life force is very mysterious, and in the whole field of life force, the most mysterious pearl is called "soul".
But when it comes to the study of the soul, in the known world of Azeroth, I am afraid that no one has gone further than the trolls. Loa is a belief system built around the core idea of "animity".
"With so many achievements in such a short period of time, I think you can be called a well-deserved 'Doctor Fel'."
Holding the ten-centimeter-thick material organized by Nogfogg, Li De couldn't help but praise him sincerely.
This is a very gratifying point for Nogfogg. For his blind exploration from scratch, Li De gave him absolute support, which made Nogfogg deeply realize that Li De was on the day he established the light of civilization. The tolerance that has been emphasized since then is by no means as simple as it is said.
"The reorganization of the United Nations General Assembly is also on the agenda. I promised Shandris that within these three months, we need to find a solution and get Malfurion's approval.
Next, we should return to Gadgetzan with this research result, but we don't know how our Loa priests and several venerables can help us. "
Li De and Nogfogg expressed the idea of returning to the Protectorate of Hanhai. The economic chess player estimated the various work on the King's Continent in his heart, and then gave his own opinion.
"Everything has been properly arranged here, and we can go back to the Protector of the Ocean."
…
In fact, even if the two of them did not plan to return in the near future, they had to return to Vast Sea to protect them.
Because on the night that Li De and Nogfogg decided to return, a disaster happened to the Huanhai Protector!
The incident happened in the deep sand plain. That night in the settlement near the ancient city of Petra, people were dreaming, and suddenly they felt a world spin!
The whole earth is like a dustpan. People feel like beans in the dustpan. They have completely lost control over their bodies and can only bump up and down with the roar of the earth.
The whole process lasted a full two minutes!
After the earthquake was over, the ancient city of Petra was already surrounded by ruins, and only this wonder looked relatively complete.
"What the **** is going on?! Haggard! Haggard! Where are you?!"
Chen Stormstout had two people on the left and one on the right, and two on his shoulders. In such a disaster, being able to save six people immediately was his limit.
The Brewmaster stood in the ruins and shouted hoarsely. He was stationed here with him to manage the wasteland reclamation group. It was the Minister of Civil Affairs Haggard. half.
This kind of earth movement, even if he can barely protect himself, Haggard may have unfortunately died. "Master Chen, I'm here..."
Just as Old Chen thought about it, a feeble voice came from a distance. If it wasn't for Old Chen's sharp eyes and ears, he might not have heard the other party's cry for help.
When he came to a collapsed wall, Haggard, whose face was covered in blood, smashed one of his legs into it, and was now trying to lift the wall that was pressing on him with one hand.
Old Chen saw at a glance that his other arm was dislocated. He let go and rescued the person by himself. Chen Fengjiu stepped forward and moved the fallen wall away. After that, he was in no hurry. He helped Haggard, but stroked the other's arm with his hand, and helped him take it with a bang.
"What exactly is going on?"
Haggard, who was lifted up, said in shock that in the face of natural disasters, people would realize that they were so insignificant, and the impact tonight was even stronger than the orc war.
"There's no time to think about this! It's just right to save people quickly!"
Chen Stormstout roared in his ear, and this time Haggard was sobered up.
"Yes, yes! Disaster relief should be organized immediately!"
With ruins in his eyes, Haggard's heart is bleeding, how many casualties should the people have in such a disaster? ! Soon Haggard found out that because of the sudden incident, the **** team also lost contact, and I am afraid they also suffered huge losses. How should they rescue the disaster? !
Seeing that Haggard was a little stunned, Lao Chen spoke quickly.
"I'll be watching here. You can go back to Gadgetzan to get in touch and report the matter to the Duhu. If the disaster in Gadgetzan is not serious, please ask Nibuhr to mobilize troops for rescue immediately."
Haggard shook his head and said.
"We need to get in touch with Gadgetzan as quickly as possible. I'm injured and can't move fast. You should go back to Gadgetzan. I'll stay here to organize survivors' disaster relief."
However, Chen Stormstout's tone was stern and irrefutable.
"Stop procrastinating! Listen to me! I have to stay here!"
As he spoke, the Brewmaster stared intently at the ancient city of Petra. On the top of the mountain of the ancient city, a scarlet figure made of lava appeared!
