Chapter 432: 431, Azerite, Spectacle Architecture Blueprint_1

“There’s no need for such formality,” said Pandaman Chen Sheng, waving his hand amicably. “I have a letter here that I’d like to ask you, Nemesis, to deliver to the hands of Her Majesty the Queen of your nation”

Chen Sheng pulled a letter from his robes and handed it to Su Yu.

At the same time, he spoke slowly: “According to the prediction of our scholar Master [Zhou Zhuo], our nation will experience a calamity a year from now. Consequently, we may find ourselves at odds with the entire world.”

“So, I sincerely ask for Her Majesty Queen of your country to think carefully when the disaster occurs, hoping there will be no conflict between us.”

Su Yu nodded, taking the letter.

The letter was sealed with magic, making the contents unknowable to Su Yu’s eyes.

However, upon receiving the envelope, he smiled at Chen Sheng, seemingly indifferent, “If I’m not mistaken, your country has discovered the ‘Azerite Vein’, right?”

…

In the third EP, “Pandaren Empire,” the main storyline involves:

The Pandaren Empire, originally peaceful and uninvolved with the world’s strife, suddenly discovers a substance called “Azerite.” This substance is the planet’s lifeblood, containing over 85% of the planet’s nourishment.

Parallels could be drawn between “Azerite” and the Blue Star’s “Spiritual Spring Eye,” both considered crucial to their respective worlds.

However, the peculiar part is that “Azerite” is mainly produced in the Pandaren Empire; other continents’ production rates are pitiful in comparison — not even amounting to 5% of the Pandaren Empire’s output.

As the saying goes, “holding the gem will cause guilt.”

From the beginning of the EP, the Pandaren Empire became the world’s focus. After that, human, orcs, elves, dwarves, trolls, taurens, deep-sea behemoths… nearly all races stared covetously at the Pandamen.

They organized allied assaults on the Pandaren Empire, massively dividing the extracted Azerite.

…

In fact, something similar has happened in reality.

In the real world, Su Yu has taken control of the largest “Yunlu Mountain Spiritual Spring Eye.”

However, afterwards, all the nations banded together, claiming, “The Spiritual Spring Eye doesn’t only belong to your country, but to all of humanity.” They demanded Su Yu’s government hand over the Spiritual Energy mined from the Spiritual Spring Eye, to be distributed to all other nations globally.

This situation has caused much unpleasantness.

It wasn’t until America fell into ruin and the Blue Star United Government was established under the leadership of Su Yu’s government, that these voices were completely suppressed, saving humanity from a tragic fate of endless internal strife in the face of major crises.

…

Chen Sheng, taken aback by Su Yu’s words, exclaimed, “Azerite?! You actually know of the existence of Azerite mining?” He looked at Su Yu in disbelief.

This was the nation’s utmost secret! How did Su Yu find out?

Su Yu gave a modest smile, answering: “Ha ha, prophecy is my forte. I once used prophecy to help the Elf Kingdom solve its severe Plant Transformation Disease situation. Nothing in the world can escape my gaze”.

“Is that so?” Chen Sheng believed him, albeit slightly.

At the same time, he had the thought to “eliminate Su Yu to protect the secret.”

However, after giving it some thought, he dismissed the idea.

Su Yu is an outsider adventurer who can’t be killed; he could only be temporarily imprisoned using soul-binding spells.

But Su Yu’s status is highly revered. If word of Su Yu’s imprisonment reaches Queen Alise, she would undoubtedly come in person to demand his release, which would expose this secret anyway.

As Chen Sheng weighed his options, Su Yu declared loudly: “Master Chen Sheng, in addition to predicting the Azerite, I also foresaw future changes in the world situation. Would you like to hear it?”

“I’m all ears,” Chen Sheng put away his troubled emotions for the time being.

“After ‘Azerite’ is made public, all the races in the world will unite and march towards the Pandaman continent, wanting to claim this resource ….”

Su Yu recounted the events of his past life.

Chen Sheng’s expression grew serious, as Master Zhou Zhuo’s prophecy and Su Yu’s were almost identical.

The Pandaren Empire may be powerful, but knowing the use of Azerite, war is certainly unavoidable.

In the end, Su Yu added: “In light of the gifts you’ve bestowed upon me, I will persuade Her Majesty not to engage in battle with the Pandaren Empire.”

“Moreover, we are also willing to open trade routes and exchange large amounts of goods and necessities to help Orsonian friends through the crisis.”

“Azerite,” this material was madly competed for by all forces in the world when the expansion pack just started, including the Goldfinch Empire of course.

And it happens that the commander of the Goldfinch is none other than [Grantex], who Su Yu once self-destructed and killed.

However, in the latter stages of the expansion pack, almost all countries found that using Azerite has serious side effects. Excessive use can cause serious illnesses, and many sequelae remain even after recovery from the disease.

Eventually, the whole world ended with the sealing of all Azerite mines.

Since Su Yu already knew the result, and now that the Goldfinch Empire is just recovering, why should he let Alise wade into these murky waters? It’s better to maintain neutrality outside the field and make a fortune from the war.

Chen Sheng took a deep look at Su Yu: “Then Nemesis, what is the cost?”

He felt that Su Yu had no need to give them such a promise since such a promise must have something to ask for.

“Hehe, I’ve always been a great admirer of Pandaman culture. I have two wonders in my territory; [Pandaman Terracotta Army] and [Temple of Heaven, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests],” Su Yu laughingly said:

“I particularly love the [Temple of Heaven, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests] building. May I ask if your country has any similar functional architectural blueprints in its collection? If you can give me a few, I’d be forever grateful, and would convince Her Majesty not to attack the Pandamen.”

“You mean that…” Chen Sheng let out a sigh of relief.

Blueprints for miraculous buildings are not precious items. They are collected by the public, and their value is not as high as the cloak he just gifted Su Yu.

“Alright,” Chen Sheng readily agreed: “Once I return, I’ll see if there are any blueprints for similar wonders. From what I recall, there should be two or three. Once I find them, I’ll have someone bring them to you.”

“Thank you, Master Chen Sheng!” Su Yu bowed, “You can hand these blueprints to a foreign adventurer named [A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated], and he will deliver them to me. ”

“Okay, I’ll hand the blueprints to him,” Chen Sheng said earnestly, “Nemesis, if you really can persuade Her Majesty the Queen of your country not to wage war against us, you will forever be a friend of Pandamen!”

“I would be honored to be a friend of the Pandamen. So, until next time, Master Chen Sheng!”

“Goodbye, Nemesis!” The Pandaman Chen Sheng bid Su Yu farewell and vanished into the void with his staff.
