LIVE: Azeroth

As early as many years ago, in order to repay Sharlayan and Orfa for helping her alleviate the problem of being easily controlled by her soul, Garona had hinted to Sharlayan overtly and secretly, asking him to take the time to go to the Hand of Gul'dan to find the origin of Cen Lucan. debris.

However, due to Sarlayan's busy schedule, he unconsciously forgot the information Garona provided in his early years.

It wasn't until the last reunion with Garona in Draenor that Sharlayan recalled it under her reminder again, and simply handed over the problem of solving the Hand of Gul'dan to Garona herself.

As Garona said, the sealed fragments of Lucan, the Wrath of the Elements, still contain the elemental essence left by the elemental kings of the previous generation.

Even within the Shadow Council, there are very few people who know this information.

Since Illidan parachuted into the Black Temple, the remnants of the Shadow Council who originally settled in Shadowmoon Valley have been in panic all day long. They know that the new Lord of the Dark Temple is not the same person as the Burning Legion.

In order to avoid being wiped out by Illidan, who was gradually gaining a foothold, these members of the Shadow Council could only leave Shadowmoon Valley, the most suitable area for warlocks to hide, and flee to other areas of Draenor.

…and then they were killed one by one by Garona who came back from Azeroth.

With the remnants of the Shadow Council completely wiped out in Draenor, the fel volcano of Hand of Gul'dan naturally no longer cares.

When Garona called for the coalition forces to come near the volcano with Sarlayan's token, Shahras had already withdrawn the Dark Temple soldiers originally stationed nearby in order to avoid unnecessary conflicts.

When the coalition forces officially started their operations, the only enemies surrounding Gul'dan's Hand were elemental creatures corrupted by fel energy, and they were easily wiped out by Draenei and Mag'har, who had prepared in advance.

As Gul'dan's sharp blade, the highest-ranking thief in the Shadow Council responsible for intelligence work, Garona obtained a lot of confidential information from Gul'dan's hands, including the detailed seal coordinates of the Sen Luken fragments.

Under the leadership of Garona, the coalition soldiers quickly found the sealed place.

But I found it, but it was not so easy to remove the fragments from the seal.

Because this thing was thrown into the middle of the crater by Gul'dan's vile humor.

Even ignoring the physical and mental corrosion effects of fel energy, no one would dare to jump into an ordinary crater to fish for things. The ultra-high temperature magma is enough for them to drink a pot.

Garona first tried it herself. She has been with the Warlocks of the Shadow Council for many years and has undergone many transformation experiments by Gul'dan. She has a high resistance to fel energy.

However, Garona could withstand the erosion of evil energy, but she couldn't withstand the extremely high temperature of the magma itself. Her first attempt ended in failure.

It was at this time that Valeera and Tess arrived at the scene by coincidence, and Valeera formally invited Garona as a senior executive of the Uncrowned.

The plan to persuade Garona to join the Uncrowned went smoothly, but Garona, who refused to admit defeat, said that she would return to Azeroth to perform her duties after solving a series of chores in Draenor.

There are two things that concern Garona. One is to recover the shards of Sen Lucan, so that the new generation of elemental kings can regain the orthodox elemental inheritance.

Her second expectation has no less connection with the first.

In any case, Draenor is the hometown where Garona was born, and she hopes to see the lifeless world of her hometown revived due to the ravages of the Shadow Council.

In layman's terms, she hopes to reverse Draenor's slow death status quo that continues to be eroded by fel energy.

This point coincides with the night elf Archdruid Fandral Staghelm who is surveying the environment on the Hellfire Peninsula.

The reason why the two things Garona expects to be related to each other is because the revival of the Throne of Elements will greatly speed up the progress of Draenor's environment restoration.

According to Garona's understanding, whether it is Azeroth or Draenor, the foundation of the world is the four elements of earth, water, fire and wind.

The reason why Draenor's environment is so bad is largely due to the lack of nourishment from the four elements, which makes it impossible for the evil energy in the ground, water and air to purify itself.

After Gul'dan crushed the King of Elements' final counterattack, the Throne of Elements was silent for at least ten years before slowly selecting a new generation of Kings of Elements.

Moreover, due to the lack of inheritance, the strength of these new generation of elemental kings is very weak, and they cannot use the authority of the elemental kings to promote Draenor's self-purification.

Therefore, the two things that Garona was worried about actually lead to the same goal.

As long as the problem of the inheritance of the King of Elements is resolved, with the assistance of the druid team led by Fandral himself, the environment in Draenor will be stable and positive, and sooner or later the old outlook will be restored.

After sorting out her thoughts with a logical thinking mode, Valeera immediately expressed her willingness to provide help within her ability.

Although Garona has a high resistance to evil energy due to her personal constitution, she is still a mortal after all.

Even though Garona's half foot has stepped into the realm of demigods, if she doesn't break through, she still hasn't broken through, and her life form hasn't undergone a qualitative change.

Therefore, in terms of resistance in all aspects, Garona still couldn't compare with Valeera, the genuine demigod-level thief.

Valeera, who volunteered to help, came to a conclusion after a simple trial.

As long as she can obtain the blessings given by the four kings of the elements at the same time, she can successfully fish out the still-sealed Xenluken fragments from the fel magma.

Under the close attention of a large number of Draenei and Mag'har orcs, Valeera, who was blessed with the four elements on her body, plunged into the magma and found Xenluken who was trapped in it before the blessing disappeared. debris.

Valeera, who jumped out of the magma again, entrusted Ebrius, the king of water elements, with a look of disgust to help her wash away the remaining fel magma on her body.

"It stinks! The smell of high concentration of evil energy is really unbearable."

Garona, who was always serious, suppressed a smile and echoed: "Indeed, the reason why the environment in Shadowmoon Valley is so bad is that this fel volcano is at least 60% responsible, and the remaining 40% is in the Dark Temple."

The Black Temple is the home of Illidan, Sharlayan's acknowledged ally against the Burning Legion.

At least until the Big Three, the leader of the Burning Legion, completely withered away, Illidan would never give up the important position of the Black Temple.

Garona doesn't expect to recover the Dark Temple in a short period of time and completely remove the source of environmental pollution in the Shadowmoon Valley area, but at least the Hand of Gul'dan must be resolved first.

It is not difficult in principle to purify Gul'dan's hand. It is nothing more than reversing Gul'dan's original operation and using the power of the four kings of elements to disperse the evil energy entrenched in the volcano.

But to achieve this, the current strength of the Elemental Kings is not enough.

They need to absorb the elemental essence in the shards of Senluken first, and then they can obtain the corresponding abilities after a period of retreat and comprehension.

The shard of Senlukan held by Valeera was very inconspicuous, it looked like a dusty elemental core.

If it wasn't for being able to feel the weak but pure power of the four elements from this fragment, it wouldn't be so easy for Valeera to quickly find it in the sea of ​​fel dung.

"so?"

After rinsing, Valeera smiled and patted the worried face of her little apprentice on the head, then turned to Garona and asked, "How should this thing be unsealed?"

"Well..." Garona smiled wryly and spread her hands: "To be honest, I don't know. After all, the great magician Gul'dan personally set this seal, and I'm not a spellcaster."

Valeera rolled her eyes angrily: "I thought you had planned everything."

"Agna, catch it!"

Agna, who was standing aside watching the play, did not expect to hear her own name suddenly, and she was obviously taken aback before recovering.

At this time, the Luxenken fragment thrown over by Valeera had arrived in front of her eyes, and Agna struggled for a while before finally holding the dormant elemental core firmly.

"Professional things should be done by professional people."

Valeera smiled and said to Agna: "As far as the understanding of elements is concerned, shaman priests are the best, right? I'll leave this stuff to you to study."

"Ah..." Agna scratched her head with a wry smile, "Thank you very much for looking up to me, but to be honest... I really don't have much confidence."

Valeera smiled encouragingly: "Let's try it first, you can also turn to Mistress Gaia'an who is more experienced, if it doesn't work... I can only bring this thing back to the Azeroth Exchange Give it to the Ring of the Earth to study."
