I have one more World of Warcraft Necromancer than you

Chapter 21 The Fishman's Invitation

The Spider Mine is a maze of interconnected tunnels, with some naturally formed fissures extending deep underground.

Lorraine eliminated most of the spiders that were entrenched on the outskirts.

Holding torches, they lit up the cave.

After the mine shafts inside the cave were lit up, Lorraine discovered numerous traces of human habitation.

......

The mountains of barrels suggest that the miners enjoyed drinking in their spare time.

This is completely different from the traditional view held by Rowling that one should not drink alcohol while working to avoid making mistakes.

Of course, Rowling overlooked one point: the miners in the mines did not come to work voluntarily, and the wine in the mines was not prepared for the workers; it was the privilege of the so-called overseers and foremen.

So many tragic and wronged souls linger because they were lowly servants, both in life and in death.

Oppressed and bullied, never to rise up again...

Under the duress of Twilight's Hammer, the slave laborers were forced to dig in the mines in search of more than just gold or copper and iron ore.

There are also relics of the Old Gods buried deep beneath Azeroth, destroyed by the explosion of the Well of Eternity.

......

The followers of Twilight's Hammer attempt to gain immortality by transforming themselves into elemental beings through the evil ritual of sacrifice.

For the ancient gods, immortality was a luxury, so how could these foolish believers possibly succeed?

Just as a fool seeks a swindler's method to get rich, the believer ultimately perishes, while the swindler profits from the ignorant believer.

Of course, in order to win over these fools, the Old Gods would still throw out bait, like giving out eggs, to trick them into joining the Twilight's Hammer.

After conversion, the Twilight King will strictly discipline his followers.

Anyone who tries to leave will be punished with sacrifice; the mine is filled with the agonizing spirits of the dead.

That faceless statue directly imprisoned their souls.

......

After studying the minerals, Lorraine attempted to mine a pile of scrap copper and iron ore.

My gaze fell upon the faceless statue, which looked quite artistic.

The statue remains intact after countless years.

It could be protected by spiders, and another thing is that this thing must be made of special materials.

......

The master has already been reprimanded by the big boss and is now preparing to send his apprentice away quickly.

Luo Lin sensed his disciple's gaze and understood him perfectly.

They even coveted the statue of Twilight's Hammer...

“A thief never leaves empty-handed! No, it’s about eradicating evil completely. Lorraine, you should smash this evil god statue. I have a feeling it’s causing trouble here and will bring endless problems. They’ve already scraped off a layer of the ground; there’s no reason to leave an evil god statue here.”

“Master, I also want to see what this thing is made of. But I heard that smashing the statues of certain gods will bring a curse.”

......

"Smash it! We are progressive youths of Azeroth, and the Old Gods' cult is something everyone should kill. Don't worry, the Twilight Cult is just a small fry. Only by smashing it and taking a few samples to Undercity can you prove your worth."

"Can't our robes and this hammer prove it?"

Lorraine picked up the small purple hammer, almost overlooking the item in the box.

Mages cannot equip one-handed hammers; only priests can.

What kind of logic is that?

......

"Just use that hammer to smash it."

"Ah."

Lorraine nodded and began smashing, the small purple hammer striking the statue.

The statue was not damaged, but it shook violently.

Immediately afterward, the entire Spider Mine shook, the nearby ground cracked, and seawater gushed out from beneath the statue. Lorraine retreated to higher ground and found that the water had already submerged the statue.

The statue seemed to come alive.

.....

"No way, the Faceless Ones are the true servants of the Ancient Gods. Legend has it that they are the incarnations of the Ancient Gods' tentacles. They are monsters of the highest level, elite level, and belong to the category of sealed demons."

"This kid just casually knocked on a broken statue, could he have been so unlucky as to have offended a legendary boss again?"

......

The intellectual youth of Azeroth are going to defeat all the demons and evil gods? That's scary. What absurd scenes haven't I seen?

Luo Lin was inwardly grumbling, but his apprentice was somewhat afraid.

"Teacher, what's going on? Should we run? The water looks like it's going to flood the mine. There's been a collapse. I don't think I can swim..."

As an undead, whether you can swim or not doesn't matter... since you don't need to breathe anyway...

"No, teacher, I can feel my own breathing. It's just different than before. Look..."

Lorraine submerged her head in the water and exhaled a series of bubbles.

The demonstration suggests that even the Forsaken, as undead, can drown...

"That's not scientific. I remember that the undead have natural racial talents, such as the will of the undead that makes them immune to fear spells, the ability to eat corpses to replenish their life force, and a relatively long underwater breathing time."

Humans can barely survive underwater for one minute, while the undead outnumber humans and other races by three and can hold their breath underwater for three minutes... It seems reasonable, yet it also seems unreasonable.

But this is the original setting of World of Warcraft.

Only one legendary wand allows all its wielders to breathe underwater: the Water Vine Staff, enabling races that cannot breathe underwater to freely explore the depths of the sea.

Or perhaps only the nature-based Druid's seal transformation allows them to splash around in the water...

......

"No, teacher, isn't now a good time to teach underwater breathing magic? There seems to be something underwater?"

"Underwater breathing magic is called 'Magic Breath,' a spell used by sorcerers..."

Before Lorin could finish speaking, he vaguely saw several wriggling creatures underwater.

The water was murky and dark, making it difficult for him to see clearly. It was probably emerging from beneath the statue. Did it look like a fish?

Whether the statue suppressed the spring, or whether the area beneath the statue actually led to the sea.

Lorraine wasn't sure, but with her senses fully activated, at least five or six powerful creatures swam toward her.

When the water stopped flowing out, the person hesitated and became wary.

The water submerged about half of the cave, and a few ripples appeared on the surface.

Soon, several brightly colored guys surrounded Lorraine.

......

"Waaaaah... Waaaaah..."

"Waibi Babi..."

"Wow!"

Upon closer inspection, he saw five murlocs surrounding Lorraine in the mine, speaking in a language he couldn't understand. Suddenly, a particularly large one approached, and Lorraine nervously tried to unleash Frost Nova.

To everyone's surprise, the largest merman spoke up directly:

"Thank you, kindred spirit."

"what?"

Lorraine and Rowling were both surprised when the largest, brightly colored fishman poked its head out of the water.

The voice it emitted, however, was the language of the dead.

The other murmurs whispered among themselves, making incomprehensible noises.

......

"teacher!"

"Let it finish speaking."

The master and apprentice exchanged a quiet conversation, and Roland sensed that this murloc who could speak the language of the undead was very strong and of a high level.

Now that they're surrounded, the other party is extending friendly greetings...

"Don't be nervous, young man. We're so grateful to you for rescuing us. We won't hurt you."

Lorraine glanced at the smaller merfolk to the side.

Their unique shape, sharp as a piranha's teeth, and their entire bodies covered in scales with sharp fangs are all part of their appearance.

Several pairs of bulging fish eyes stared straight at him, making it hard for him not to be nervous.

......

“We are all warriors of the Darktide Murloc tribe. I am the chieftain and also the shaman of our tribe. Originally, I was a follower of the water elemental lord Neptulon.”

......

"Our lord is fighting against the Abyss Council, battling the Balrog and its master, the Old God, across the world. All the Murloc clans have answered the call of the Elemental Spirits. But our strength is too weak; we are powerless against the Naga or the Faceless Ones' armies, let alone the Twilight's Hammer's pursuit."

......

"They have captured many offspring of the Water Elemental and imprisoned them in this statue prison. If you hadn't opened the cage with the key today, we would not have been able to escape and would have been forever suppressed in the water prison under their control."

Having understood the whole story, Lorraine realized that the small purple hammer was a key.

The beating of the statue was like opening the portal to the murlocs and elemental spirits that had been suppressing them. The members of the Abyss Council summoned by the Twilight Cultists were actually elemental lords imprisoned by them.

They are sealed away in various parts of the world.

Like a demon-suppressing tower, it forces and imprisons elemental creatures to serve them.

Ultimately, the original Azerothian elemental spirits—water, fire, earth, and wind—along with their leaders Ragnaros the Firelord, Al'Akir the Windlord, Neptulon the Waterlord, and Therazane the Stonemother, were transformed into tools for destroying the world.

This has turned several continents of Azeroth, once vibrant with life, into dangerous areas ravaged by storms, tides, sandstorms, lava flows, earthquakes, and other disasters.

......

The organization that has been fighting against the Twilight's Hammer for a long time is the Earth Ring, led by Thrall, the tribal chief and shaman.

They strive to heal the wounds of nature.

Of course, the Archdruid Cenarius Council is the same animal conservation society on the Alliance side, and they do the same thing.

......

The merfolk chieftain, who had been imprisoned for an unknown period, was both a chieftain and a high-ranking shaman...

It can transform into the state of a soul walker.

To repay Lorraine for saving his life, the chieftain invited him to visit the Dark Tide Fishman tribe by the sea.

The apprentice asked his teacher if he was going, but the teacher began to hesitate...
