Eat, sleep and fight trolls, this is a joke that Sarlayan heard from Danmaku.
However, it has to be said that considering the population size and distribution of trolls, it is almost impossible for any species living in Azeroth not to conflict with trolls.
Excluding the Dark Empire that was tamed by the ancient gods, the troll empire in ancient times was the first mortal civilization in the history of Azeroth.
After a great battle with the Qira Empire, the severely damaged Troll Empire gradually fell into decline. The three major tribes that originally submitted to the overlord Zandalari each had their own plans and established their own countries in various parts of Azeroth.
The Gurubashi Empire, founded by the jungle trolls, was entrenched in the southern part of ancient Kalimdor, occupying Tanaris Jungle and Stranglethorn Vale as its base.
After the establishment of the Gurubashi Empire, the jungle trolls of Tanaris lived a relatively peaceful life, but soon their nightmares struck.
Zandalari, the overlord of all trolls, suddenly asked the jungle trolls of Tanaris to join the army to help in the battle. They followed Zandalari's allies, the Mogu Empire, to attack Uldum and seize the Forge of Origin.
The expedition launched by the mogu king Thor ultimately ended in failure.
The strength of the Mogu and Zandalari coalition is indeed very strong. The To'vi and Anubisas, who were ordered to guard the Origin Forge, were no match. As a last resort, the To'vi's desperate small power activated the environment reshaping function of the Origin Forge.
Including Thor himself, who had usurped Raiden's power, the Mogu and Zandalari forces were wiped out by the massive energy released by the Forge of Origin.
The overbearing environment reshaping ability of the Forge of Origin not only caused large areas of the once tree-lined Uldum to become desertified, but even the nearby jungles of Silithus and Tanaris were severely affected.
Only Un'Goro Crater, a living greenhouse protected by the power of the Titan Guardians, survived.
After the explosion of the Well of Eternity, the ancient continent of Kalimdor split. Tanaris and Stranglethorn Vale belonged to the continent of Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdom respectively, and the Gurubashi Empire was divided into two.
Since Zul'Gurub, the capital of the Gurubashi Empire, is located in Stranglethorn Vale, the jungle trolls who were divided into the eastern continent naturally continue to respect the Gurubashi clan with Zul'Gurub as its administrative center.
The other part of the jungle trolls who were forced to stay in Tanaris could only survive independently in Kalimdor. Under the transformation of the environment, they gradually evolved into sandfury trolls adapted to the desert.
What Sharlayan and others encountered was just a routine attack by the Sand Fury Trolls, and there was no named tribal general leading the attack.
With the intention of moving their bodies, Sarlayan and his party were like tigers among sheep, easily helping the goblins and mercenaries of Gadgetzan to repel the invading Sandfury Trolls.
The mayor who manages Gadgetzan is a senior official of the Steamwheedle Consortium. He knows the Duke of Quel'Thalas' Deep Shadow, who has reached a cooperation agreement with the consortium.
Sarlayan didn't want to deal with these goblins who were thinking about how to squeeze oil out of your pockets all day long. Faced with the smiling flattery of this green-skinned dwarf, he casually said that he still had important things to do. Escape quickly.
With a large number of goblins enthusiastically waving off, Sarlayan and his party headed north into the shining plain where the track had been built, and also experienced the thrill of racing on the endless salt-alkali land.
One thing to say is that due to the relatively primitive design concept and lack of sufficient shock-absorbing parts, fuel vehicles of this era are not comfortable to sit at all.
After the speed reached over 60, Sarlayan had a bad feeling that the car might fall apart at any time.
After finally maintaining a safe speed and driving the car back to the starting point with only its horn silent, Sarlayan was not willing to experience it a second time.
But if you think about it carefully, this thing was made by goblins. It was a success if it didn't explode into a ball of fireworks on the way.
Goblin technology is shocking. This sentence is not just a joke. To use their engineering products, you must be mentally prepared to withstand explosions at any time.
Although Sarlayan was very dissatisfied with the car made by the goblins, it had to be said that their design idea was in the right direction, but the details still lacked polish.
Under Sarlayan's arrangement, the Deep Shadow Family had taken over the open-pit oil field in Un'Goro Crater many years ago. During the subsequent cooperative exploration with the Hot Sand Consortium, more oil fields buried underground were discovered around the open-pit oil field. oil.
Therefore, there is no shortage of oil in Quel'Thalas, but because fuel will cause certain pollution to the environment, the high elves don't think much of this chemical fuel, and prefer to use the clean arcane energy given by the sun well.
That's right, clean.
With the full popularity of Arcandor, the final dangers of magic addiction caused by long-term absorption of arcane magic have been eliminated, and the energy of the sunwell has become a genuine clean energy source.
However, the coverage of the Sunwell is limited after all. Even when Prince Kael'thas went to Dalaran to study abroad, he could only carry some water from the Sunwell with him to replenish his magic power at any time.
Ordinary people are not eligible to fetch water from the Sunwell when they leave Yonge Forest.
If they only move within the Eversong Forest, the people of the high elves can use clean energy vehicles powered entirely by arcane energy.
But if you want to drive a long distance out of Quel'Thalas, you will inevitably use chemical fuels such as petroleum.
When leaving the Shimmering Plains and heading west into the Thousand Needles, Sarlayan first told Jaina, who had an endless thirst for knowledge, the history of the development of the Sandfury Trolls, as well as the causes and consequences of the dramatic changes in the world that year.
While Jaina was trying to take notes, Sharlayan discussed the idea of modifying goblin vehicles with Stellagosa and Onyxia.
Onyxia is a "player" who is proficient in various entertainment methods, and she also showed considerable interest in the previous test drive.
Onyxia immediately became interested when she learned that Sarlayan wanted to modify the goblin vehicles that were not yet well experienced at this stage.
Sharlayan was only responsible for providing ideas, and Stellagosa came to think of ways to improve the technical issues related to arcana. Onyxia, who was very interested, also made some useful suggestions.
After discussions between the three of them, the plan for the first version of the Quel'Thalas car was initially finalized.
In order to allow users to switch energy supply methods at any time as needed, Onyxia proposed to install two energy systems at the same time, that is, both gasoline and arcane energy can be used.
Onyxia only needed to move her mouth, but Stellagosa smiled bitterly and slapped her forehead.
"Your idea is not impossible to realize, but installing two energy systems at the same time will have a considerable impact on the weight of the vehicle and increase manufacturing costs in disguise."
"Salayan's original intention is to make vehicles popular so that all high elves can afford them. We want to keep manufacturing costs as low as possible."
Onyxia shrugged and said: "Then there is no other way. Let's establish two different production lines to produce two versions of fuel-driven and arcane-driven cars, so that buyers can choose to buy according to their own needs."
"There is another problem." Sarlayan tapped his forehead with his finger and said: "At this stage, new energy sources such as oil have not yet become popular in Azeroth. It will be very difficult for vehicles to refill fuel when going out."
"This matter requires Kelthas to personally come forward to discuss the introduction of fuel and vehicle exports with leaders of various countries."
"Let's focus on the arcane-driven version of the car first, at least to meet the needs of domestic people for short-distance travel."
Even in the magical kingdom of Quel'Thalas, not everyone can afford the portal.
Ordinary people still use traditional means of transportation such as mounts and carriages most of the time when they go out.
Although the running speed of the chocobo commonly used in Quel'Thalas is not slow, it is still far behind the arcane energy vehicle that Sharlayan expected to design, and the comfort is not the same.
According to Danmaku's vision, cars that absorb free arcane energy and run can achieve infinitely variable speeds like the new energy vehicles in their world, without the need to install transmission gears like oil cars.
Once the arcane energy vehicle comes out after the transformation and design is completed, cabinet ministers must quickly follow up and design a new set of traffic regulations for this new vehicle. There are many problems involved in this process.
Thousand Needles, as the name suggests, is an uncultivable barren area with a large number of towering strange rocks. Almost no intelligent creature would choose to live in such a ghostly place.
But... there are exceptions to everything.
"Peng!"
Sarlayan casually threw a large stone picked up from the ground, knocking away a centaur who was trying to block the road and rob him.
Garak Centaur, they were once one of the five centaur clans living in Mashanshe (the Desolate Land).
Due to the failure in the civil war with other centaur clans to compete for territory, the Garak clan had no choice but to move to Thousand Needles, a place where no one can shit.
There is a saying that enemies never get together.
The tauren and the centaurs have forged a hatred that can never be resolved when they settled in Mashanshe. The two races are undying enemies and there is no possibility of reconciliation.
Under the scourge of the Earth Princess Celades and her large number of centaur descendants, the once lush vegetation of Mashanshei gradually withered and became no longer suitable for the survival of the Tauren clan.
A few years ago, with the help of Sarlayan, the tauren warchief Cairn Bloodhoof decided to leave his ancient hometown of Mashanshe and go to the Mogore grassland next door to open up a new home, against all opinions.
Before leaving, the tauren gave the arrogant centaur a heavy blow, which could be regarded as revenge for being hung up and flying kites by them for so many years.
After many chiefs were killed in battle, the severely injured centaur remained honest for a long time, staying in the desolate land where the land was becoming increasingly barren to lick its wounds, and did not dare to follow the tauren migration team as wildly as before. .
After settling in the Mulgore Grassland, in order to open up a route to the South Sea Port, the Grimtotem clan led by Magatha Grimtotem volunteered to come to Thousand Needles to develop outposts. The two outposts were Black Cloud Peak and Luofenggang.
As the saying goes, enemies are extremely jealous when they meet, so the already grumpy Horrible Totem Tauren unexpectedly got into trouble with the lone Garak Centaur clan.
As soon as he repelled this group of centaurs intent on plundering, Sarlayan heard a desolate horn sound, and then a group of black-skinned tauren accelerated and charged from behind the rocks.
"Huh?"
The leading black bull man was originally ready for battle with a ferocious look on his face, but now he looked blankly at the battlefield where the battle had already ended. He scratched his head stupidly and looked at the man who didn't even break a sweat. Sharlayan and his party.
"Who are you...? Did you kill these centaurs?"
