Another leader of the Broken, the former Vindicator Archbishop Akama, is still missing. The Broken who now live with the Draenei all regard the Shaman Archbishop Nobundo as their leader.
Thanks to Nobundo and Velen's efforts to bridge the gap between the Broken Ones and the draenei, most draenei have come to accept their alien kin.
After all, the two have the same origin, but they have different appearances due to different encounters.
Although he didn't know what issue Sarlayan wanted to consult with Nobundo, Velen readily agreed to introduce them to him.
Nobundo, who used Volos's Holy Light network covering the entire New Shattrath and taught apprentices in the elemental zone of the city, quickly received the news.
A few minutes later, a translucent ghost wolf rushed from outside the door. After entering the door, it immediately transformed into a skinny Broken One.
This Shaman Archbishop Nobundo is the Shaman Archbishop Nobundo.
Nobundo first bowed politely to Velen and the two Naaru, and then turned his attention to Sharlayan and others standing aside.
"Is this the Duke of Quel'Thalas, Thalayan Deepshadow, whom Volos mentioned?"
Nobundo nodded to Sarlayan in a friendly manner: "I am Nobundo, the shaman leader of the Council of Bishops. It's a pleasure to meet you, Duke of Deep Shadow."
Sarlayan also responded to Nobundo's gentle kindness with a smile: "First meeting, Archbishop Nobundo."
"I don't like to beat around the bush, so I'll just get straight to the point."
"If the elemental subplane anchored near Azeroth quickly closes the distance with the material world, do you have a way to minimize the series of harms caused when elemental tides occur?"
Not to mention Nobundo, who was involved, Velen, who was well-informed, was also stunned for a while when he heard this.
"The distance between the elemental plane and the material world is getting closer?"
Nobundo frowned and thought for a while before answering: "I have never considered this issue before."
"There is no so-called elemental plane in Draenor. We can directly contact the four elements of earth, water, fire and wind that form the foundation of the world at the Elemental Throne."
Sarlayan smiled wryly and spread his hands: "There are historical reasons why Azeroth is in this situation. It's a long story."
Nobundo smiled understandingly: "It doesn't matter, we need to pay attention to the essence of this problem. It's not too late to study the historical origin slowly later."
"Elemental plane..." Nobundo subconsciously rubbed his chin and pondered: "I'm not very clear about the principle of bringing the subplane closer to the material world. According to you, when the elemental plane is close, it will cause violent elements. Tide? This doesn’t make sense.”
Sarlayan said with a serious expression: "If it is a normal plane approach, it may have a more or less impact on the material world, but it will certainly not cause a large-scale elemental tide."
"As far as I know, this plane closeness is not a natural phenomenon, but someone is deliberately promoting it behind the scenes. The purpose is to cause large-scale turmoil in Azeroth, and I take the opportunity to hide behind and fish in troubled waters."
Nobundo's expression became serious: "Who is so powerful that he can force the sub-plane to move closer to the material world, and can also take the opportunity to trigger the elemental tide?"
"Hmph~"
Sharlayan sneered and explained: "The Draenei have not moved to Azeroth for a long time. You may not have a comprehensive understanding of the enemies of Azeroth."
"Your Excellency Velen, I wonder if you ever heard of the name of the Ancient God when you led the Draini fleet to wander in the sea of stars?"
Velen, who had been listening quietly, had a flash of light in his eyes: "So that's it, is it the group of monsters on the void side who are behind this?"
Even without mentioning the huge amount of knowledge Velen accumulated when he was the three archons of the Eredar, in the tens of thousands of years he wandered in the universe, Velen, who has infinite lifespan, has seen being deeply parasitized by the ancient gods more than once. The tragic situation of the planet.
He even knew something about the Lord of the Void behind the Ancient God.
As far as Velen knows, the Lords of the Void, also known as the Void Lords, are living entities composed of pure shadow energy.
Driven by endless hunger and thirst, the Lord of the Void will instinctively expand the coverage of the void realm until one day the entire material universe is completely transformed into a void realm suitable for their survival.
Because the existence form of the Void Lords themselves is too special, they cannot directly intervene in the material universe. They can only continuously project the "seeds" containing their power into the material universe, allowing these seeds to take root and sprout on various planets.
And the lives hatched from these seeds are the so-called ancient gods, the culprits that parasitize the planet, absorb the nutrients of the planet, and devour and corrupt all matter on the planet.
In the material universe that most people are familiar with, a small number of planets will give birth to special beings called world souls... also known as star souls.
The reason why the Lord of the Void continues to sow seeds into the material universe is to corrupt the souls of these worlds.
Once the soul of the world is completely corrupted by the ancient god as an extension of the power of the Lord of the Void, the mature corrupted star soul will become the best carrier for the Lord of the Void to enter the material universe.
The original Bronze Titan Sargeras saw with his own eyes a planet with a star soul that was about to be completely corrupted.
He instinctively sensed the catastrophic consequences this star soul might have on the material universe when it matured, and he raised his sword and slashed the entire planet in half on the spot.
Since then, Sargeras has changed his previous more moderate approach, prioritizing purifying the planet corrupted by the power of the void before hunting down demons.
Sargeras's overly radical style of conduct aroused dissatisfaction with the Pantheon Titans headed by Aman'Thul, and the two sides clashed many times due to different ideas.
With no help from his compatriots, Sargeras became more and more extreme, and he set his sights on the demons he had sealed on the broken planet Marton.
With unparalleled super strength, Sargeras easily conquered the demons who worshiped power, and the Burning Legion was established.
"Purify everything with fire", this was the purpose of the Burning Legion when it was first established.
Perhaps Sargeras's original intention of trying to purify the power of the void was good, but in the eyes of individuals on the order side such as Sarlayan and Velen, after leading the evil-doing demon army through countless years of bloody conquests, he had long since deviated from himself. original intention.
Demon King, this title is truly worthy of the name for Sargeras today.
When he traveled to Azeroth in the early years, Velen vaguely heard that Azeroth also hosted the ancient gods.
However, unlike other sad planets that were corrupted into disgrace by the ancient gods, due to the influence of the Pantheon, the ancient gods who came to Azeroth were renovated by the Titans tens of thousands of years ago.
The seven most powerful Y'Shaarj were torn apart by the father of the gods, Aman'Thul himself. C'Thun, Yogg-Saron, and Enzoth who were lucky enough to survive were also sealed in prisons.
Although the curse of flesh and blood imposed by the ancient gods later affected the entire Azeroth, it also gave birth to an increasingly brilliant mortal civilization, which had both advantages and disadvantages.
Generally speaking, the harm caused by the Old Gods to Azeroth is not too great, and the situation is still within control.
But Velen has also heard that the ancient gods have never given up their plans to further erode Azeroth. In the years when the Titan Guardians have gradually fallen silent, they have relied on the Dragon Guardians to resist their various small moves.
However, among the original five complete dragon guardians, the earth guardian Neltharion was seduced by the ancient god and fell 10,000 years ago. The dragon army suffered heavy losses in that sudden rebellion, and the blue dragon was the first to suffer. Almost annihilated.
After that, Nozdormu, the guardian of time, disappeared for many years, Malygos, the spellweaver, went crazy, Yinsera, the lord of dreams, slept for a long time, and Alexstrasza, the life-binder, was alone.
The Titan Guardians and Dragon Guardians who were supposed to stand up and take responsibility lost their voices one after another, and the task of resisting the ancient gods' pressing steps could only fall on mortals.
A few years ago, with the help of Sharlayan, the Azeroth coalition won the second Battle of Quicksand in Silithus.
The four dragon kings reunited and sealed the Thousand-Eyed Demon C'Thun underground again, preventing him from posing a threat to Azeroth for at least tens of thousands of years.
Among the only two remaining ancient gods, En'Zoth is far away in the deep sea, and it is difficult for the Azeroth civilization dominated by land creatures to harm him.
And Yogg-Saron secretly corrupted the Titan Guardians of Ulduar. However, due to the ban of the chief administrator Odin, the dragon family was not allowed to enter Ulduar.
This gave Viren a headache.
Now that Sharlayan took the initiative to talk about the threat of the Old Gods, Velen just raised his doubts about how to deal with En'zoth and Yogg-Saron.
Sarlayan did not intend to sell out, and explained to Viren straight to the point: "I already have a complete set of plans for Yogg-Saron, but now I am in the stage of secretly accumulating strength."
"As long as the time is right, I am confident that the corruption in Ulduar will be completely eliminated in a short period of time, so that the Titan Guardians can return to their origins."
"As for Enzos..."
Sarlayan sighed with a headache: "This guy is the problem that worries me the most right now."
"Until Naga completely rebels, it will be difficult for us, as land creatures, to go deep underwater to destroy his minions."
"The elemental tide I just mentioned was planned by Enzos and his loyal lackeys. Before we find the best way to solve it, we can only choose to resort to tricks."
"So……"
Sarlayan rounded up the topic again and looked expectantly at Nobundo, who was lowering his head and thinking hard.
"Archbishop, let's go back to the original question, shall we?"
"Do you have a way to minimize geological disasters across Azeroth during the Elemental Tide?"
Nobundo raised his eyebrows slightly: "Is it just a geological disaster?"
Sarlayan nodded calmly: "Yes, as for man-made disasters... don't underestimate the determination and fighting spirit of the people of Azeroth to protect their homeland. We can handle the elements that swarm out."
"Is that so..." Nobundo breathed a sigh of relief: "That will be much easier to handle."
"I need to gather all the shamans to work together to formulate a complete elemental disaster defense plan. This will probably take about 1-2 years... Is it still too late?"
