Chapter 403 The Path of the Ancient Gods
The werewolves of Lorraine surrounded the statue, baring their teeth as if they had smelled something...
The statue looked familiar to Lorraine; it was the same as the one in the Spider Mine, only this one seemed a little larger, and it was soaked in blood, making it appear very red... This statue had four arms, unlike the one that had chased Lorraine underground a couple of days ago.
They seem to have subtle differences; the Faceless Ones also have varieties, and the servants of the Old Gods are not of one kind.
Lorraine didn't know the exact identity of the Old Gods worshipped by the Church of Light, nor did his teacher. They had only heard that at least five named Old Gods had appeared on Azeroth, and mortals couldn't possibly know how many such Old Gods existed in the universe.
Those who knew the true names of the ancient gods either became sacrifices to them or were corrupted into a form of void creature.
The teacher said that the Old Gods that appeared in Azeroth were actually weak beings imprisoned by the Titans. The truly powerful ones, such as Y'Shaarj, whose body once almost covered most of Azeroth, were torn to pieces by the Allfather Asuman.
However, the ancient god's body was larger than a mountain, and it polluted many parts of the earth...
Those are all legends from countless ages ago, about the Old Gods who were imprisoned, including C'Thun the Thousand-Eyed Demon, Yogg-Saron the Thousand-Throat Demon, and N'Zoth the Thousand-Bearded God... In reality, mortals should be grateful to them...
Without them, there might not be the various races of Azeroth as we know them today...
From this perspective, the followers of the Twilight's Hammer Church firmly believe that the Old Gods are the creators... while the so-called Order Titans and the stone and iron men created by the Titans are actually invaders!
The elemental creatures native to Azeroth, and the creations left behind by Terra, were corrupted by the Old Gods...
Through the combined influence of some strange force, new species and life were born. This evolved into a diverse and vibrant world, inhabited by beings with divine bloodlines, varied personalities, and different abilities.
......
The Twilight Cultists have always believed their faith to be sacred, and even when the Old Gods declared their intention to destroy Azeroth, they firmly believed that after the final destruction, they would become immortal beings like the Old Gods...
It's not the seductive power of shoe cults that's frightening, but their ability to deceive people using the truth... Ordinary people with weak minds, willpower, and intelligence are easily fooled...
Lorraine was clearly still a mortal.
Staring at the peculiar faceless statue, he felt his thoughts being guided by it into a strange realm. In his daze, his werewolf servants howled, seemingly sensing that their new master was not in a good state.
Fortunately, Terra, who suddenly emerged from the narrow tunnel, saw everything.
Although Terra didn't understand what had happened, she still jumped up and slapped Lorraine hard across the face...
A crisp, familiar slap sent Lorraine sprawling to the ground. The werewolves glared angrily at the blood elf mage, Miss Terra. A sense of foreboding flashed across her weakened face...
He slapped Lorraine hard across the face...
Lorraine snapped out of her daze and touched the thin, undead face... It didn't have much flesh on it, and it didn't hurt.
But then he remembered that he had also been slapped when he was saved in Dalaran Terra.
Um...
Familiar taste.
Lorraine was pulled back to reality, and he suddenly realized that the statue possessed an evil power.
No wonder, poor Saide was kneeling on the ground, lifeless, his body withered like a ghost, drained of his life essence...
The appearance of the Faceless One statue in the Jade Mine clearly reveals the identities of the mayor and his gang!
"They are all from the Twilight's Hammer!"
Lorraine nodded. The Church of Twilight... an ancient force that infiltrated the mortal realm even before the Cult of the Damned... This wasn't the first time they'd dealt with the Twilight's Hammer. Their teacher had explained this organization in detail before...
Terra suddenly realized something!
She exclaimed, "I know! The Church of Twilight must be among the allied forces in the Covenant of Greed! That's right, they were originally servants of the Elemental Lords, and the Dark Iron dwarves are now enslaved as well. Blackrock Mountain is their stronghold! Oh no, the Dark Portal is dangerous!"
"That's right! I knew it all along..."
"you know?"
"right..."
"You know nothing... Give me back my Monkey Ball!"
......
Lorraine feigned profundity, wanting to show off like a teacher... He wanted to tell Terra what he knew about the Twilight's Hammer. Unfortunately, Terra wouldn't listen; the Sunreavers' understanding of the hidden dark forces was far deeper than Lorraine's.
The High Elves' documents contain many secrets.
Dalaran was established with the assistance of Silvermoon City, and Silvermoon City has been involved in its reconstruction several times...
Captain Terra, a high-ranking battle mage and officer of the Sunreaver's Temple, appears young but is actually several hundred years old... She is a blood elf... a high elf, an apprentice of Archmage Amanth, and also a member of Dalaran. Strictly speaking, the Sunreaver's Temple and the Kirin Tor Council are not subordinate to each other, but rather have an overlapping relationship...
The Kirin Tor Council is a collective assembly of mages...
The six councilors are in power and have always been the center of power in Dalaran.
The Sunreavers' Temple and the Silver Covenant were actually groups of mages of the same kind. Over time, the Sunreavers absorbed more Horde mages, while the Silver Covenant naturally absorbed members of the Alliance.
Originally, no one in Dalaran chose to side with any particular faction until the structure of the Council of Six changed, at which point someone would be expelled or suppressed.
For example, the Necromancers and Abyss Magic factions under Kel'Thuzad were personally expelled by Archmage Antondanis, the then-lord of the city, Jaina's former teacher, and also Kel'Thuzad's teacher...
From then on, the spiritual school became taboo, and most of the core members of the evil curse cult were from that group.
This foreshadowed Kel'Thuzad's later attack on Dalaran with the Death Knight Arthas to seize the Book of Medivh and the Eye of Dalaran...
Long before Dalaran was even established, the Council of Tirisfal was already monitoring the evil forces that threatened the world.
As an external enforcer of the Council of Tirisfal, Terra naturally knew the horror and threat of the Twilight's Shadow...
Lorraine felt helpless... He seemed to want to prove something, pointing at the statue, and the werewolf attacked it. Surprisingly, the statue couldn't be destroyed by the werewolf's power; scratches appeared on it, and bright red blood flowed from it...
"Guess where all the living people in this cave went?"
"How should I know... Didn't this guy say he was definitely on Redemption Island! Stop talking nonsense, do you know how expensive a Monkey Ball is? Give me back 30,000 gold coins!"
