I'm the king of the roll at Hogwarts

Chapter 306: Louis the Awakener
Old Mac poked his panda head out from the city wall, his two little round ears twitching unsteadily. He shouted, "What do you want to call me for?"

Lao Chen didn't use a hanging basket. He carried the Mogu strongman and climbed up the city wall in no time. He was so agile that he didn't look like a fat man.

Perhaps it can be said that he is the most hated person when playing street basketball - the flexible fat guy.

Fortunately, no one in Pandaria plays street basketball. In fact, almost every one of the entire Pandaren race is a flexible fat guy.

Old Chen, who had climbed up the city wall, was discussing with Old Mac how to deal with Koror of the Mogu tribe. When he took out the bottle of truth serum and introduced it, Old Mac's eyes lit up.

"With this thing, there's no need to torture someone after catching their tongue. It saves time, and there's no need to worry about false information..." Old Mac snatched the truth serum as if it were a treasure and tucked it in his arms with great care.

They were chatting up there, and Louis was too lazy to see what they were doing. He took two steps and found that something was wrong in the place ahead.

It was convex, with a small bump, and traces of excavation could be vaguely seen. It seemed that Korol was trying to dig something here, but before it was completely flattened, it was cleared away by Louis and his men.

He walked over, hooked his fingers, and used the wizard's hand to dig up the soil, revealing an amber crystal.

"Ah, it's amber." Louis said, increasing his strength a little. After a while, the piece of amber that was as tall as a person was completely revealed.

There was a humanoid insect sealed inside, his eyes were closed, he looked rather thin, and in front of his belly there was a pair of mantis-like arms tightly attached to his abdomen. He was wearing a suit of armor made of blue and white diamond-shaped blocks, and had transparent wings behind him. Since the whole insect was sealed in amber, it was a little difficult to see his transparent wings clearly, thanks to the presence of veins on the wings.

"Mantis!" Zhu Talan and Tao Shi drew their weapons almost instantly and looked at the amber with a guarded attitude.

"Ugh, so ugly." Ron twisted his nose and complained, then took two steps back and tried to avoid the mantis demon and stay away from him.

Louis was not too alert. He looked left and right, not knowing how to break the amber.

How about... reaching out and knocking on it? This thought came to his mind, and he just did it. He stretched out his hand and knocked on the amber with his fingers. Then, the amber began to melt, and the mantis demon in the amber lost its support and fell to the ground with a bang.

Louis was really afraid that his thin arms and legs would fall apart. The body of an arthropod is very fragile, and a thigh can be broken off if you are not careful.

The mantis demon woke up after the fall. He opened his compound eyes and the four tentacles on his head moved. After a long while, he sat up from the ground and tried hard to focus and see the situation in front of him clearly.

"Oh, it's the Pandaren." His tone was somewhat disdainful, and there was a clicking sound in his voice, which seemed to be related to the structure of his mouth. "Don't put on your meaningless fighting posture. I have no interest in being your enemy."

After saying that, the mantis turned his gaze to Louis again, and a strange smile appeared on his ugly face.

"You look strange, Awakener." The mantid stretched out his claws: "Let me introduce myself. I am Kil'ruk the Wind-Reaver, one of the heroes of the Klaxxi... Maybe you haven't heard of the Klaxxi, but don't worry, you will know soon."

Louis immediately had an impression of it. Oh, it was the one that died from the sky, the last Klaxxi hero to appear in the order of BOSS activation...

"Hello, I've heard of your name, Kilruk the Wind-Reaver." Louis reached out and held Kilruk's outstretched claw. It felt a little strange, cold and a little prickly.

Kilruk was stunned for a moment. He could tell at a glance that Louis was not a native of Pandaria. However, since Louis said so, he couldn't be bothered. He asked hesitantly, "You... have heard of my story?"

"No." Louis shook his arms and said sincerely: "But your face is full of stories."

"Then we have to have a good chat, Awakener." Kilruk said meaningfully: "Since you awakened me, it means that you have an indescribable bond with the Klaxxi heroes. In addition to me, there are eleven heroes sealed in various places in the Dread Wastes, waiting for you to awaken them..."

"Don't agree to him, Louis!" Zhu Talan shouted, "The Pandaren are already struggling to deal with the Mantis Demons, you are helping them increase their strength!"

Before Louis could say anything, Kilruk straightened his back, walked up to the alert Zhu Talan, stretched his head to look left and right, and in the face of Zhu Talan's fearful gaze, he suddenly smiled.

"Young Pandaren..." Kilruk said with a clattering voice, "Do you really think that you and the Mogu can really stop the Zerg swarm with your strength? Oh, maybe if you join forces with the 'King of Kingslayer, God of Godslayer', it is still possible, but as far as I know, the relationship between your two tribes is not very harmonious..."

Seeing Zhu Talan's obvious disbelief, he smiled and said, "You should know that every year there will be a new swarm of insects that fly over the Mantis Plateau and Panlong Spine to fight with the Pandaren and the Mogu. Only the most intelligent, strongest, or most agile mantids can survive. The surviving mantids return to the sacred tree, most of them carrying the spoils of war. Here they are accepted by the tribe and gain their own place in the insect swarm based on their merits. Therefore, from generation to generation, the insect swarm becomes more and more powerful."

"But what you don't know is that the sacred tree cannot support too many mantis demons, so it can only consume them in this way. It can also be regarded as training and streamlining the mantis demon swarm."

Zhu Talan's eyes turned red when he heard this. Kilruk's indifferent attitude made him very angry. He almost roared and asked loudly: "Just for training! To reduce the population! You bastard! Do you know how many brave pandas die on the Great Wall every year!"

"That's your business." Kilruk spread his claws. "You can only grow through fighting. You know this much better than I do. What else do you want me to do? Do you want me to apologize to you? Pandaria is only a small place. Do you really think it's a good thing for the Pandaren to occupy the entire Pandaria, have no natural enemies, and just eat and wait to die every day?"

"He's right, Zhu Talan." Old Chen's voice sounded. He didn't know when he had stood behind Zhu Talan, and a bear paw pressed on Zhu Talan's shoulder: "Without the mantis demon's attacks year after year, the pandas would not grow, and perhaps they would gradually degenerate in their comfortable life."

"So we are born in adversity and die in comfort." Louis concluded. "Louis is a man of wisdom..." Old Chen squinted his eyes and exclaimed.

Kilruk also turned his head to look at the Awakener and chuckled: "It seems that our Awakener is a very wise person..."

"Oh, this is what a philosopher from my hometown named Mencius said." Louis said with a smile: "When there is a chance, I can give you a few of his works."

Hermione whispered to Harry and Ron, "Mencius? Why don't I remember such a philosopher in Britain... er, okay, I remember now, he should be talking about the ancient philosopher Mencius from Seris... This guy..."

"Let's go, let's talk while walking. Let's go to Karakxivis first and take a break. Then we'll go wake up other heroes." Kilruk said, looking at Zhu Talan meaningfully: "Perhaps if we chat for a while on the road, you will dispel your prejudice against us mantis demons."

Zhu Talan snorted proudly and turned his head away from him, but he knew in his heart that Kilruk was right. But emotionally, he could not accept that so many brave and fearless pandas sacrificed their young lives on the Great Wall.

Kilruk stamped his feet, and several giant amber scorpions emerged from the ground. He jumped onto a scorpion first and turned around to say, "You can pick one you like. The giant amber scorpions are very stable when walking, so don't worry about them throwing you off. You can choose to have multiple people ride on one, after all, its back is very broad."

A few people looked at each other, and Lao Chen patted his butt and got on Kilruk's scorpion, and Louis was with him.

The three ladies sat in one, and the remaining Harry, Ron and Zhu Talan sat in one together.

"I have been buried for too long, and my memory is a little fuzzy. I have to go back to Klaxxi to look up the information before I can remember where the other heroes are sealed." Kilruk said with a click, and the tentacles on his head swayed like antennas: "Relax, thinner pandaren, Klaxxi has never been the enemy of pandaren."

The "thinner panda man" he referred to was Zhu Talan, and when Old Chen heard this, his face became noticeably happier.

Pandaren consider fatness as beauty, so this time Kilruk was indirectly complimenting Lao Chen.

"I heard that your beliefs seem to be quite strange?" Lao Chen asked indirectly: "The Mogu used to believe in a Titan creature, who seemed to be called Leiden... But I heard from the Pandaren Wanderers that Leiden seemed to be missing."

"Leden? You mean Leiden?" Kilruk laughed as if he had heard something funny. "Oh, poor Leiden, I know him. He had his core dug out by the Mogu God of Thunder and was imprisoned under the Thunder Throne. It was also him who earned Leiden the title of 'God of God Slayer'."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to fiddle with the tentacles on his head and continued, "The Mantid believe in the Ancient Ones. I believe that the Pandaren Wanderers also know this. Klaxxi is the most pious among them... We never dared to call him by his name. In ancient times, we waged endless wars with the Aqir Zerg who served the Thousand Eyes Demon and the Azjol-Nerub Kingdom who served the Thousand Maws Demon. But what we didn't expect was that the guy who called himself a 'Titan' killed the Ancient Ones served by the Mantid like crushing an ant, and at the same time freed the Ancient Ones from enslaving the Mantid..."

Having said that, Kilruk suddenly kept silent.

Louis caught Kilruk's words and asked, "So, you have been unhappy with Y'Shaarj for a long time?"

"We were enslaved. Most of the mantid were completely corrupted by Y'Shaarj, and only a small number of mantid escaped his control. This was the predecessor of the Klaxxi Council." Kilruk scratched the amber giant scorpion he sat on with his claws. "So, to some extent, at least we, the heroes of the Klaxxi, don't want to serve that ancient master at all."

"That's right. Mantis demons will never be slaves. You should think so." Louis said with a smile, and added in his mind that it would be only if food and lodging were provided.

After riding the giant amber scorpion for a long time, a towering tree with huge and wildly growing roots stood in front of them. However, this did not stump the giant amber scorpion. It climbed up quickly and came to a downhill slope in just a few steps.

There is a camp ahead with a platform in the middle. An obelisk with huge amber inlaid on the top stands in the center of the platform. The amber is like a mind beacon controller, constantly expanding the yellow halo outwards.

"Who are you?" The mantis demons in the camp discovered the traces of the group and rushed out with weapons in hand.

"We're here, Klaxxivis, the Klaxxi camp." Kilruk introduced everyone. He jumped off the amber giant scorpion and opened his arms to the rushing mantis demons and shouted loudly: "Klaxxi! Your heroes are back!"

The mantids were whispering to each other, and it seemed that most of them were new. Soon, a tall mantid pushed through the crowd, saw Kilruk, walked over and hugged Kilruk.

"Welcome back, dear 'Wind-Reaver' Kil'ruk!" the tall mantid said loudly.

“Oh, Vol, you old man.” Kilruk laughed and said, “These are my friends. This one—” he pointed at Louis, “is my awakener. I can feel the ancient bond between him and our heroes.”

"Welcome, outsiders." Wall nodded to everyone: "I am Karaksivar Wall, one of the members of the parliament, welcome to Karaksivis."

After that, he also greeted Louis specifically: "And you, the honorable awakener..."

Louis understood that the Mantid was now out of Azrael's control, and its attitude towards the Awakener was no longer as disgusting as in the game. Instead, it was replaced by an attitude of great respect.

This made Louis feel much better. At least it was not the kind of attitude where he would rescue everyone and then keep nagging in your ear that one day he would go to war with you for the ancient lord.
