Civilization of Azeroth: Start the Great Pyramid

A week later, preparations for the second game on the Plains of Glittering began, and a huge influx of tourists began to pour into Tanaris.

Compared with three months ago, Gadgetzan shocked the tourists more. Because of Cenarius' previous visit, this desert city is now full of flowers and plants, and even attracts some birds from Thousand Needles.

The current Gadgetzan can be called the city of miracles in Tanaris.

Those goblin tourists enjoy the comfortable environment of Gadgetzan while enjoying the fierce competition on the Glittering Plains. And just after ten days of intense competition, the goblin tourists found that one day suddenly when they entered the arena. Along with their tickets to the game, they were also given a flyer.

Printed on the flyer is a promotional poster for the Gadgetzan Theater. The content of the picture is a giant fighting a giant monster, and in the middle of the good and evil sides, the play name is written in striking big characters: [Tyr's Fall] .

Throughout the past and present, there are two core expressions of art at its inception: courtship and priesthood.

Or to attract the opposite **** by showing your strength and beauty, or to create a **** as a spiritual sustenance.

Of these two routes, Li De chose the latter. Although the former is undoubtedly more convenient to make money, it is difficult to have a unified aesthetic standard on gender issues in the diverse population of the vast ocean. It is also very likely that a pornographic industry will breed, which violates Li De's bottom line.

What's more, earning money is the second priority in rehearsing dramas, mainly to enrich cultural construction, and Li De is very satisfied if he can ensure a balance of income and expenditure.

To rehearse "The Fall of Tyre", simply put, Li De wants to create a god.

The history of the Titan Guardian period is vague in the mortal world. Even Zandalar has no exact records. It is more of a scale and a half claw discovered by archaeology, plus some conjectures.

But Tyr's story really began to spread as early as in ancient times. In ancient times, because Loken, one of the guardians of the Titans, was bewitched and depraved by the ancient gods, causing infighting among the guardians.

Among them, Tyr and the other two guardians fled from Ulduar in the north of the continent with a group of Titan creations such as dwarf ancestors, dwarf ancestors and human ancestors.

During this process, the ancient god's minions, the Faceless, who colluded with Loken, launched a pursuit against Tyr and others. In order to cover the safe evacuation of his comrades and the large troops, Tyr was left alone to resist the pursuit.

In the end, Tyre killed a strong enemy and repelled another strong enemy. But he also died of exhaustion, leaving only a huge silver hand standing on the strong.

Later, the vrykul, the ancestors of the human race who escaped, returned to the place where Tyr was sacrificed. They worshiped the silver hand and sang the story of Tyr.

It can be said that Tyr's sacrifice had a huge impact on the vrykul people. This race, which rarely records history seriously, only engraved Tyr's noble spirit in the depths of its soul.

And Tyre's shaping of the human race is far more than that. The place where Tyr sacrificed was the Tirisfal Woodland, where the human race really rose.

As for the Silver Hand left by Tyre, it is regarded as a symbol of noble qualities such as courage and sacrifice, and the "Knights of the Silver Hand" that appeared in later generations was named after this.

Such a well-known great guardian can be said to be the most suitable for artistic shaping.

In the arrangement of the play, Reed suggested that William could blur the other characters, as long as they could reflect the villain's evil, the peril of mortals, and the greatness of Tyre.

This is also the unique charm of dramatic art. It is not necessary to objectively restore the truth. It is enough to create popular characters and classic lines on the windowed stage, which is enough to move people.

Like the details of Loken's fall, the disc of Norgannon, the endings of other guardians... these histories are still in the dust, and it is inappropriate to appear in the mortal world now. And there is no need to pile them all up, adding a burden to the audience to understand.

Even in order to impress the audience even more, the mortal characters who follow Tyr in the story have also been symbolized, including trolls and goblins.

Takshiro once expressed dissatisfaction with this, and he believed that Li De was distorting history.

Li De took the initiative to admit this, but at the same time, his reasons were also very good: from a macro perspective, Tyre's original sacrifice should not be regarded as a kindness to those Titan creations, but for the peace of this world. And sacrifice.

Regarding this point, Li De is really not aimless. In the battle of the origin of the guardian dragons, when the twisted ancestor dragon Galakrond endangered the world, it was Tyr who stood up first and led the five ancestor dragons to protect the safety of the world. It was in that battle that Tyr's hand was bitten off by Galakrond, and a prosthetic limb was created after the battle, the famous Silver Hand.

And Li De told Takshiro more frankly that drama is not history, the main purpose is to spread a value. If the drama is not good enough and the value of communication cannot be accepted by the world, it will naturally die out in time.

Or if this work is good enough to be passed down to future generations, then the fallacies in the historical details can also be generously pointed out for everyone to criticize and discuss.

In the process of constant discussion, the truth of history will naturally be clarified, and at the same time, this work of art can also be given a fair evaluation.

By then, these will become part of culture and art, part of civilization.

Li De's words finally persuaded Takshiro, but then other different voices appeared. For example, like Nogfogg and Ang Gagu, they all think that drama is fake and has no use other than entertainment.

Niebuhr didn't make a statement. This was because he, as Li De's student, was out of sentimental consideration. But acquiescing to Ang Gagu to say such remarks can also show his true thoughts.

In Niebuhr's view, now is the critical stage of preparation for the war, and teachers should focus more on important things, rather than any unimportant drama.

Everyone thought this thing was useless, and Li De said it was useful.

Only Li De is clear that in another time and space, this thing developed a mature narrative structure, was dubbed "soft power" and became part of the strategy of peaceful evolution.

Li De didn't do too much refutation, but just waited for the actual effect when it came out.

In this way, on the fifth day of the official start of the competition under the vigorous publicity and operation of the Hanhai Protectorate~www.wuxiahere.com~, in the interval between the competitions, the drama [Tyr's Fall] officially started its first performance. The theater was full.

The other characters in the story are blurred, and many guardians do not use their real names, but use pronouns like "Storm Guardian", "Forge Guardian", and "Stone Giant".

Their main role in the story is to demonstrate the power of the Guardians and their importance to Azeroth in the three-minute "Genesis" chapter.

I have to say that William is really a talent. With the strong support of Li De, he used wood and animal skins to create a very beautiful and atmospheric holster prop, and combined with the firework effect of the goblin, he created a shocking stage effect.

After establishing the audience's understanding of the guardians, "wisdom guards" Loken's fall, which is particularly dazzling. When Loken colluded with the minions of the ancient gods to hunt down Tyr, many viewers hated it.

The holsters of the ancient god's two minions, Zakaki and Jisix, are also carefully designed. Although Li De doesn't know what they look like, as long as they are shaped enough to be ferocious and terrifying, the goal will be achieved.

In the last scene of the play, Til sacrificed his life, killed Zakaki, and severely injured Kisix. At this time, the stage went dark, and all three leather covers came off the stage, and then a huge silver hand prop slowly rose from the stage mechanism, marking Tyr's fall.

Terrans, trolls, and goblins, who symbolize mortals, took to the stage, walking slowly around the Silver Hand, honoring heroes and ushering in peace. The goblin fireworks also lit up the entire stage at this moment, and the drama officially ended.

And as the lights above the auditorium turned on, thunderous applause broke out in the entire theater!
