Menethil's Power

Chapter 219 God knows what kind of big secret we will discover again!

Ironforge, the headquarters of the League of Explorers.

The Explorers Association is a multi-ethnic organization, as long as it has a certain amount of archaeological knowledge and great enthusiasm for archaeology, it is enough to be recognized and accepted by the association.However, the current Explorers' Association does not have as many members of strange races as it did later, and the main body is still composed of dwarves, gnomes, and humans.

Therefore, when a human dressed as a cowboy walked into the hall of the association, no one was surprised by his arrival. Most of the archaeologists were in a hurry, completely unaware that there was another person in the association.

The cowboy strolled to the front desk and leaned over in a very lazy manner.The little green-haired dwarf who was obviously the receptionist recognized the cowboy's identity with just one glance, "Welcome to the Explorers' Association, Mr. Harrison Jones."

"I haven't seen you for a few years, my dear Ramir, you are still so cute." Harrison said a wisecrack, he took off his hat, and looked around the quaint but magnificent hall with some surprises, "Come with me The change was a bit big when I came here for the first time, did those two Bronzebeards actually know that they are going to do a face-saving project?"

"The Explorers Association has a new shareholder and has received a large amount of capital injection, so the chairman decided to at least renovate the headquarters. He said that the original rough environment is really not in line with the great and sacred cause of archaeology. .”

"I really want to know how much money those two dwarves have invested in fooling the benefactor. Aren't they afraid that the other party will come to the association to settle accounts after the money is clear?" Harrison wondered.

In most cases, the investment and benefits of archaeology are completely unequal. This is really not a good investment project. It often happens that a lot of money and time are spent but only a lot of garbage is dug out.

"It's not something that a little receptionist like me can know." Lamir shrugged.

Harrison obviously thought so, so he didn't continue to discuss the mysterious benefactor, but directly stated his intentions, "I want to see Muradin, or Brian is fine."

"Master Muradin is not in the association, and Brian is conducting some confidential affairs. If you want to see him, you need to wait for a while."

"No problem, then I'll take a casual look first." Harrison was not in a hurry.

He began to walk around the interior of the association, and found that not only the front hall had been completely renewed, but all the rooms had been replaced with magical lighting, and one piece after another of the ancient relics was listed in a tightly guarded booth, with text descriptions next to it , a professional atmosphere came over us.

It was a real improvement over the cluttered warehouses of old, Harrison thought.

Another change caught his attention, that is, the proportion of human beings among the members of the association seems to be higher. First of all, there are many more human beings wearing straight black uniforms among the association guards, and Harrison also sees people wearing white uniforms from time to time. The subdued humans seem to be researchers.

Whether it is a security officer or a researcher, the chest of their uniform has a gilded B letter emblem, indicating that they are from the same organization.

Harrison continued to wander around, but when he turned around a staircase and was about to go upstairs, he suddenly heard the characteristic rough voice of a dwarf, and the talking dwarf was muttering and complaining non-stop.Harrison's expression moved slightly, he knew that the right owner he was looking for had come.

"Troll relics, troll relics! It's a troll again! Don't we have enough information about this barbaric creature? We have already found out what the underwear of the princess of the Amani Empire looked like 4000 years ago, Do you still need to know what color it is?"

The one who can name this kind of flower must be Brian Bronzebeard.

Harrison didn't step forward immediately, he thought the dwarf's complaint was very interesting.The Association of Explorers has not yet reached the point of running around the world, and the scope of exploration is still limited to the Eastern Kingdom, and the Eastern Kingdom has been the territory of trolls for thousands of years. Therefore, the Association of Explorers currently excavates the most troll relics. .

"I have a proposal." This seems to be the accompanying assistant, "We can completely change the direction of archaeology. The Eastern Kingdom is not only humans, dwarves, dwarves and trolls, but also lower races like murlocs and kobolds. It lasted for thousands of years..."

"Murlocs and kobolds? This seems like a good idea. It will be very interesting to see the world through the eyes of these lowly creatures." The dwarf's voice was obviously full of excitement.

"In fact, someone is already doing it. The veteran explorer Reynold Jackson has established a special relationship with an ancient murloc tribe, and discovered a murloc individual smart enough to learn the common language. Picked up a name for myself, Finley Mrrgglton or something..."

"A murloc who can speak the Common Tongue? This is nothing short of a miracle..."

The conversation came to an end, for the two who had spoken had turned around to meet Harrison face to face.

Brian froze for a moment, and then showed a surprised expression, "Look who is here! My old friend, how are you doing?"

"It's still the same, nothing has changed, but it seems that you have a good life." Harrison smiled slightly.

"It's really good, because we made an astonishing discovery not long ago." Brian said roughly, and then turned his attention to Harrison, "You guys never target indiscriminately, tell me, what can you do with me?" ? Is there any news about the artifact?"

Everyone in the industry knows that senior archaeologist Harrison Jones has an extraordinary interest in various ancient weapons, and his greatest wish in life is to open a museum of ancient weapons.

"Aha, there is indeed definite news this time." Harrison said, suddenly lowered his voice, and announced a name, "Scamdor Warbreaker."

"War Destroyer?" Brian was really taken aback, and then showed an unbelievable expression.There is no other reason that can make Brian so moved. Scamdor Warbreaker is not only an artifact, but also has extremely important meanings, because it also has a title:
The Emperor's Sword.

When it comes to Warbreaker, one has to mention its owner, Emperor Thoradin. This great emperor unified all human tribes with great courage and established Arathor, the only empire in human history. All human tribes contributed artifacts The War Destroyer made of materials has become a symbol of unity.

That was the most powerful period in the history of human beings. Even the high elves with their eyes above the top had to come humbly and ask for assistance. At the cost of sharing magical knowledge, Arathor sent troops to fight against the trolls. All over the continent of the Eastern Kingdom.

The result of the troll war is well known, humans and elves finally won the victory, but just when the Arathor Empire ushered in the most glorious period, Thoradin the Great suddenly disappeared strangely, and even took his sword Scamdor with him. They disappeared together, which has become a mystery that has not been solved for thousands of years.

Thoradin's descendants were not as good as their ancestors, so the Arathor Empire, which lost its backbone, was quickly submerged in the long river of history and split into several countries again, but the legend of Thoradin has been handed down, becoming The gods in the minds of all human beings.

Therefore, if the War Destroyer can be found, there will be huge benefits, not only because of the huge archaeological significance, Brian can imagine what price that human kid will pay in exchange for the Sword of the Emperor.

"The royal family of Stromgarde is not very talkative, but I finally found some news. The last record about Emperor Thoradin is that he left Stromgarde with a team." Harrison said.

"Only this?" Brian frowned.

"What do you mean 'only this'?" Harrison exclaimed strangely: "This is already a fairly clear clue, well, it's worth enough to warrant a top-level archaeological operation."

Brian hesitated for a while, and finally shook his head under Harrison's incredulous gaze, "The Warbreaker is indeed of great significance, but to be honest, Harrison, finding an artifact that has been lost for thousands of years is not so easy, let alone The Explorers' Association has more important things to do now, and it really can't spare people."

Harrison, who was rejected, didn't show any displeasure. "What's more important? Is there anything more important than the Emperor's Sword?" He wondered.

Bryan hesitated, and Harrison immediately said empathetically, "I understand. I'll keep it a secret."

Brian was silent for a while, and finally heaved a long sigh, "Forget it, come with me."

The dwarf led Harrison upstairs, turned several corners, and came to a heavily sealed room. The security measures were staggering. The outer wall of the room alone was made of pure gold.

Inside the room were a few researchers in white uniforms that Harrison had seen before. They were fiddling with some sophisticated instruments. Faint golden threads extended from these instruments and finally converged on a huge platform in the center of the room. The platform On the top is a series of several huge light golden discs, which look ancient and mysterious.

"You should know that the creator of this world is the ancient Titan." Brian looked at Harrison and said with burning eyes.

Harrison nodded solemnly, which is common sense in the archaeological community.

"What you are talking about is the greatest discovery in the history of the Explorers' Association, the Norgannon Disc. It was discovered in a ruin with an amazing defense force. It records all the information from ancient times to the present. It is said to be archaeological. Divine artifacts are no exaggeration."

Harrison was shocked, completely shocked, all the information from ancient times to the present?What kind of intellectual wealth should this be?He suddenly understood why Brian refused the request for cooperation in finding the Warbreaker. Obviously, compared to the Titans, even Emperor Thoradin was not enough.

"What did you get out of it?"

"There are only a few words except that the ancestors of the dwarves are earth spirits." Brian shook his head, "The time for us to get the Norgannon disc is still too short. It can't even do that. The messages on the Norgannon Disc are all encrypted, and we've been trying to decipher the last messages recorded on it, and it took us several months to finally get something out of it."

"Just those few words?" Harrison asked, "What kind of words are they?"

"Tyr, North, Steel, Curse of Flesh." Brian said every word.

Harrison couldn't help but change his expression. As a human being, of course he immediately thought of a series of words that had been passed down from ancient times but obviously had special meanings, such as Tirisfal, Tyr's Hand, and Silver Hand.Since the Norgannon Disc reveals the origin of the dwarves, the mystery of the ancestors of humans must also be hidden in it.

These clues are enough to go all out to form a high-end expedition team.

"According to our speculation, Azadas in Tire and Uldaman was one of the guardians appointed by the Titans at the beginning. Since Azadas sits in Uldaman and guards the Norgannon Disk, the location of Tire It is likely to be a relic that also has extraordinary value. In the absence of more information from the Norgannon Disc, the Association believes that it is necessary to conduct an accurate detection."

"What about the range?"

"Currently it is tentatively scheduled to be in the entire Tirisfal Glades." Brian said: "We maintain a very close relationship with Lordaeron, and we only need to report to the local garrison officer to be able to freely visit most of the land of Lordaeron." Activity."

"That's quite a coincidence." Harrison laughed, "Our goals don't actually conflict, because according to the information I collected, the last destination of Emperor Thoradin was to go to the north."

North of Stromgarde is obviously Lordaeron.

"So what do you think is the connection between the two?" Brian asked, his eyes began to light up, and he suddenly became a little excited.

"It's hard to say." Harrison shook his head, but we might as well conduct a joint exploration. Anyway, we only need to achieve one of the established goals, and this trip will not be a loss.

The light in Brian's eyes became brighter, "It's a good idea, you can try it."

The two archeologists hit it off and quickly reached a consensus. They never considered risks at all, because archaeology has never been a safe job. Since they are involved in archaeology, they must be prepared to face danger at any time.

But they didn't expect that this time the expedition was extraordinary, and if they really accidentally provoked something, it would not be able to be summed up in the word "dangerous".

The river of history has long been deviated due to the arrival of Isaacs. Although someone exerted his influence in a very measured manner, the butterfly effect still inevitably occurred.In the beginning, the long river of history just diverged into different tributaries, but now it seems that it is going to a completely different river.The young prince never imagined that the Norgannon disc he dug out in advance would produce a wonderful chemical reaction in the hands of Brian Bronzebeard.

Brian obviously didn't know what decision he had made. The dwarf was very excited now, and it seemed that he still had the idea of ​​buying Harrison a drink. "God knows what big secret we're about to discover!" He was excited yelled.
