Azeroth Monster Manual

Eyr smiled as he looked at the dignitaries embroiled in their quarrel; this was exactly what he wanted. ♦ ♦     ♞ ♦

After what felt like a long time, when he felt the moment was right, Eyr finally coughed twice, drawing everyone's attention to himself.

“The Soul Embrace is bound to the souls of various powerful creatures, including animals, plants, and even elemental beings. However, these Soul Embrace totems in my possession are unique and cannot be replicated, so I will not be selling them.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire audience erupted in an uproar, and all the important figures stood there dumbfounded, suddenly feeling that their earlier behavior had been somewhat superfluous…

“However… a weaker, or rather, replicated version of this Soul Embrace can now be mass-produced by the Sarona Alchemy Workshop.”

This book is first published on 𝕥 𝕨 𝕜 𝕒 𝕟 . 𝕔 𝕠 𝕞 across the entire network.

“Thump.”

Bael'Thane Urien staggered and fell to the ground, completely unaware of his loss of composure, muttering to himself:

“Mass production… mass production… mass production…”

The expressions of the other kings were no better, each with their mouths wide open.

“However…”

“Thud.”

“Thud.”

“Thud…”

Several kings who had been excited to a certain degree, including the usually mature and steady Terenas, all lost their balance and fell to the ground.

“Master Eyr… could you please not pause so dramatically? It really could kill someone!”

Brian, who had fallen and gotten covered in dust, said angrily.

“Master, please stop being so mysterious and just finish what you have to say!”

Brian said impatiently in his loud voice, as the scarab totem was making him itch with desire.

“Although the manufacturing technique for the Soul Embrace totem is mature, the materials are very scarce. You… understand what I mean, right?”

“Are you saying that if there are enough materials, that is, if there is a sufficient supply of those creatures or elements, you can mass-produce this weaker version of the Soul Embrace totem?”

Muradin Bronzebeard, although also very envious of the spirit turtle totem on the stage, was still more clear-headed than his reckless brother.

“If I have enough materials, I will help everyone extract souls for free and turn them into Soul Embrace totems. Of course, the more powerful the material, the more powerful the totem will be. Also, the cost and remuneration for making the totem are not cheap…

If you encounter some powerful or uniquely attributed materials while capturing materials, the Sarona Alchemy Workshop is willing to buy them back at a high price. If conditions permit, we will also manufacture the corresponding Soul Embrace totems for these unique materials free of charge. Of course, this is not free…”

The young man revealed a fox-like smile, finally stating his purpose.

“Hiss…”

Antonidas's forehead broke out in a cold sweat. Could the Kirin Tor really contend with this young man?

Looking at the various totems on the stage, some strange and some ferocious, Antonidas suddenly felt that he had lost several hundred million.

“Haha, of course, no problem. Master Eyr, you can count on Ironforge to meet your requirements. The Barrens has countless powerful beasts, and it is said that there are also evil black dragons there. If you don’t mind…”

Brian rubbed his hands and said excitedly.

“No problem, I think the Soul Embrace totem can still accommodate black dragons, as long as they are not the other four chromatic dragons.”

Eyr said jokingly.

“Master Eyr, Gilneas also has many ferocious beasts…”

“The Arathi Highlands have many powerful elements, and our brave Stromgarde soldiers will definitely bring these materials back.”

“Tirisfal Glades is said to…”

Each country told the young man about some of the rare or powerful beasts and elements in their country as if they were reciting a menu, and the scene was chaotic for a while…

…

“There is one more thing I want to declare to everyone in advance. If you want the totem to work for a long time, the maintenance of the soul is essential. Even the most powerful soul will be tired, and at this time, enough fuel is needed to maintain those weak souls…”

“Ahhh! Master, can you please not split a sentence into two parts? Can’t you just say all the precautions at once? Ironforge will find a way to solve the fuel problem. Just tell us what the fuel is, is it rare ore? Or magic crystals?”

Brian asked impatiently.

“I’m sorry, I was inconsiderate.”

The young man apologized with a smile, then said with a meaningful expression:

“Strictly speaking, this totem does not belong to the category of arcane magic. It comes from a type of voodoo magic of the troll clans. You heard me right, I accidentally obtained this secret method from the Hinterlands' Evil Branch tribe. After years of research, I have derived this Soul Embrace totem.”

The young man observed the expressions of the crowd below the stage. After seeing the desire for knowledge he wanted on their faces, Eyr continued:

“These trolls worship the Loa gods. They offer tributes to those powerful animal gods in exchange for the blessings of the Loa, so that they can possess some incredible abilities. Sounds good, right?

But the Evil Branch tribe is much more barbaric than we imagine. They not only capture trolls from other tribes, but even the poor elves and dwarves are on their list of prey.

After capturing their prey, they would bleed and skin these poor people, or kill these 'sacrifices' in an even more cruel way and sacrifice them to their evil god - Hakkar.”

…

Tens of thousands of people were outraged by the inhumane atrocities of the Evil Branch trolls and cursed loudly. This was not surprising. The history of mankind is a history of blood and tears of struggle against the trolls. Their fathers, grandfathers, or ancestors had been plundered by those barbaric trolls to varying degrees.

Even more people cried out in pain, especially the people from Stromgarde, the area most affected by the Witherbark trolls.

And the kings all showed solemn expressions. The troll problem has always been very sensitive. That race, as tenacious as cockroaches, once gave them a headache.

Apart from Kul Tiras and Dalaran, other countries have had more or less friction, or even wars, with trolls of different tribes.

Especially the Kingdom of Stromgarde. The great land of Arathi is occupied by hundreds of thousands of Witherbark trolls. These trolls will launch organized attacks in the villages and towns, burning, killing, and looting wherever they go, leaving nothing but desolation.

King Thoras Trollbane wished he could devour their flesh and drink their blood even in his dreams, and burn all those dirty scum on the stake.

As for Lordaeron and Quel'Thalas, it goes without saying. Although they defeated the Amani trolls thousands of years ago, those trolls have terrifying reproductive abilities.

Now, with the help of their former compatriots - the Zandalari scholars, those Amani trolls have shown signs of resurgence.

Their ambition is even more direct - to restore the former troll empire, the Amani Empire.

And the Kingdom of Lordaeron and the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, which are not far from the Amani capital of Zul'Aman, are the first to bear the brunt.

Then there are the dwarves. Although Ironforge is impregnable, other cities and villages ruled by the Bronzebeard clan are suffering under the invasion of the Frostmane trolls.

King Magni Bronzebeard once sent nearly two-thirds of the Ironforge mountain patrolmen to the snowy mountains to search for the traces of the trolls, but the results were not ideal. The large number of mountain patrolmen only caught a few Frostmane trolls, but did not find where those Frostmane troll tribes were located.

And after the mountain patrolmen withdrew, these Frostmane trolls continued to plunder villages after breaking up into smaller groups.

…

The people were outraged, and the kings looked ugly.

“Don’t you all want to know what the fuel for the totem is? Then let me tell you!”

The young man's voice made the square quiet down instantly.

“The name of this fuel is - Arcane Essence!”

A breeze blew up the young man's golden hair. At this moment, Eyr's intention was obvious, and the dagger was revealed!

PS: The original chapter 79 could not be found after it was deleted, so I can only grit my teeth and create two more chapters. The author continues to work hard to see if he can code one or two more chapters before 12 o'clock.
