Chapter 730 Mutual calculation (34)
All the red dragons and dragonmen left in less than half an hour, and then left the mountain range in the next half an hour.
Afterwards, everyone, including High Lord Falstad, including the Wildhammer Griffin Knight and members of the Silver Hand, all retreated, and it took a full three hours to evacuate the mountain range.
As night fell, Jiang Jie was the only one left in the entire city.
Jiang Jie could feel the loneliness, desolation, and despair. The power of the ancient gods was affecting him all the time. He could even feel that the power of more than one ancient god was entrenched in this city.
Two, to be exact.
One is the power of "N'Zoth", and the other is the power of Xalatath.
Neither force is strong.
Xal'atath is much weaker than other ancient gods, and the curse power she left in this city is naturally much weaker.
N'Zoth was once the weakest Old God, and now he is the strongest Old God, but its prison is in the deepest part of the endless sea, far away from the Twilight's Hammer, its power extends At this point, he was already very weak, and Jiang Jie didn't care about it either.
The ancient gods are best at penetrating and manipulating people's hearts, but Jiang Jie's heart is strong enough.
A person who has seen too much scenery is naturally much stronger than ordinary people.
What's more, he has been in close contact with Xalatas for more than two months, and has been suppressing her. He is not even afraid of her body, so how can he be afraid of a small curse?
"Go ahead, Xal'atath."
Jiang Jie stretched out his hand, and the dark dagger inlaid with the eyes of the ancient gods appeared in his hand, and then raised his hand with Jiang Jie, floating in mid-air, turning into the appearance of a human priestess: "Remove the curse here, take back your stay in this place The power of the city, this is what you want, isn't it? You have been secretly influencing me, making me more and more want to come here and purify the city, isn't it?"
The voice was flat, but it was like a bell in the morning and a drum in the evening, beating in Xalatas' heart.
Xalatas was stunned: "You, you know?"
"The corruption of the ancient gods, like a drop of rain, has never been noticed by people. I don't know whether you have influenced me and made me come here with confidence. Now it seems that it is so."
Jiang Jie said indifferently: "With the power you stay here, you will become stronger. Maybe you can suppress the holy light and evil energy in one fell swoop, break the balance of the three talents, destroy me, or take the opportunity to control me, right? In that case , then do it, Xalatath!"
The corruption of the Old Gods, sometimes extremely swift and violent, can destroy your spiritual will in an instant and make you a servant of the shadows.
But sometimes, the mountains and the water are not visible, let alone noticed.
The corruption of Xal'atath clearly belongs to the latter.
The reason why people are human is that there must be various negative emotions and desires in their hearts, which cannot be completely eliminated.
If it can be eliminated, human beings will no longer be human beings, but more frightening and tragic existences.
The Old Gods are masters at influencing these negative emotions and amplifying desires.
Lifting Grim Batol's curse was obviously one of Jiang Jie's desires, and this desire coincided with what Xalatath wanted to do.
Therefore, Xalatath magnified this desire, making Jiang Jie, who had been considering whether to go to Blackrock Spire or Grim Batol first, finally choose Grim Batol.
Because Nefarian and Ragnaros, the Fire Demon King, are both subordinates of the ancient god N'Zoth, and they are both demigod-level existences. She is worried that Jiang Jie will not be the opponent of those two, and she will be defeated by then. Falling into the hands of those two is tantamount to falling into the hands of N'Zoth.
The consequences could be disastrous.
This is the power of the ancient gods, a power that is almost impossible to avoid.
The ancestors of human beings were Vrykul, the creations of the Titans, but what really led to the emergence of human beings was the curse of flesh and blood from the Old Gods.
To some extent, all flesh and blood creatures in this world should regard the ancient god as their creator.
The power of the ancient gods naturally resides in the blood of all flesh and blood creatures, and desires and negative emotions come from this.
If you can't dodge, then don't dodge.
So Jiang Jie came here.
"Despicable human!" Xalatas gritted his teeth.
She suddenly felt that human beings are actually the most terrifying creatures, the most complicated creatures, with hearts that even the ancient gods and the fearful demon kings cannot penetrate.
The lifespan of human beings is much shorter than that of dwarves and elves, and they are not born with the powerful talents of dwarves and elves, and they cannot be compared with giant dragons.
Humans have much more desires and negative emotions than dwarves and elves. Those humans she once controlled sometimes have negative emotions and desires that she didn't expect, which made her very happy and made her ...
Some fear.
Yes, these negative emotions and desires of human beings allow her to control human beings better and easier, but this feeling of not being able to fully control makes her very uncomfortable.
Human beings are creatures that can never be fully understood or fully controlled. No one knows when this humble creature can burst out with such powerful power.
For example, the human female priest more than ten years ago.
She is actually not strong, but she is just a Holy Light Bishop of Lordaeron, she does not have a soul of a legendary level, nor a spirit of a legendary level.
Of all the creatures she fancyes, she is almost the weakest one.
However, after she corrupted the ancient troll high priest, after she corrupted the Black Iron Witch, she corrupted legendary-level powerhouses and legendary-level souls, but in the end, she was unable to corrupt a human priestess who was not powerful.
Even though she was so weak, even though she was on the verge of falling countless times, she still survived time and time again in the end.
She remained uncorrupted until death.
Xal'atath liked her very much, but also somewhat feared her.
Because she made Xalatas discover that the power of the ancient gods also has a place that cannot be touched, and that is the human heart.
The human heart is changeable, human beings are so weak, but they have endless potential. They are creatures created by the Titans and the ancient gods. A poor species that was once considered "deformed" has evolved into the most potential race in Azeroth today. .
So every time she transforms into the appearance of a human female priest, it is a commemoration and an awakening to herself.
Her name is "Natalie", and her body is buried in Duskwood.
There is definitely more than one Natalie in this world. If he hadn't been driven to a desperate situation, Benedictus would not have used the Dark Dagger. He was barely another Natalie.
Maybe the one in front of you is one of them.
