Duque knew it through cheating as a transmigrator, but Magni knew what little Andoine was more suitable to do through pure communication. He didn't agree with William's plan to train Andoine into a warrior because Andoine didn't want to be one at all. In fact, he was more suited to be a priest than a warrior. For this reason, Magni even gave Andoine the Bronzebeard Family's Holy Hammer [Crusher of Fear], which had been passed down for generations in the Bronzebeard Family.
This Hammer of Magic Damage would shine in the right hands, and Andoine was such a person. In short, Andoine enjoyed the happiest period of his life in the Iron Furnace Castle.
Unfortunately, happy times were always short-lived. Now, Magni had another important thing to do.
"Uncle Magni, do you have to go?" Little Andoine looked reluctant after knowing Magni's plan.
"Andoine, you will eventually inherit your father's legacy and become the king of Stormwind. Your life and soul, from the day you were born with the surname Uryn, no longer belong to you, but to the people of Stormwind. This is the glory of being a king, and also the duty of a king. "
Andoine didn't really understand, but he nodded obediently.
Magni solemnly placed his hands on Andoine's shoulders, who could already be considered a youth. "Only I can walk my path. I am walking for all the dwarves. This is everyone's hope, and also my own choice. "
Andoine pursed his lips and nodded again.
Unlike the original history, this time, Magni chose his own path after knowing most of the situation.
Under the guidance of Rock Warden Alkavon, Bu Laing didn't have to spend much effort to find the designated stone slab in Odour.
It was a treasure left behind by the Titans, and recorded on it was the method to communicate with the earth element. It was called [Earth Slab].
Magni knew the value of this gift from Alkavon, and took it very seriously.
After some research, he looked for Duque, and expressed his wish to follow Alkavon's guidance to conduct an ancient ritual according to the records on the stone slab, and attempt to communicate with the earth in order to break through to the realm of demigods.
"I am most worried about the fate of the dwarves, and also worried that if I leave for too long, it will cause political unrest. Also, I'm afraid that the ritual will cause an earthquake and destroy the Iron Furnace Fort, so I want to open the old Iron Furnace Fort … "
In the end, Duque could not help but reveal a spoiler. "No, I tried to further interpret the Titan language on the slate. Although it wasn't 100%, according to my estimations, the power of this ritual would be quite mild. The only problem is that, as an earth-type … you've probably been a demigod for much longer than Cirvanas and I. "
"How long was it?" Muradin, who had rushed back, asked.
"According to my estimation, it will probably take several years. It shouldn't be more than ten years." What Duque said was an estimate, but those who were familiar with Duque all believed that Duque had seen too many things in the long river of history. Perhaps because of the restrictions, Duque could not reveal too much, but everyone understood.
Magni made his final decision. "Iron Furnace Castle cannot be without a king for a day. So be it, Muradin. You will inherit my throne, and then I will perform the ceremony. If I'm lucky enough to succeed, I'll come back and be the guardian of the Iron Furnace Fort. "
"No! The throne is yours, Big Brother. I only agree to manage the Iron Furnace Castle as the acting king when you're gone. When you return, the throne will still be returned to you. "
"No, Second Brother, I …"
"Big Brother, you're taking a gamble for the future of the dwarves. Do you want me to bear the stigma of stealing the throne of heroes? "Muradin roared with great agitation.
In the end, under Muradin's insistence, Magni finally gave in and agreed to let Muradin be the acting king.
It was different from the original history where he had to communicate with the earth to seek answers because of the elemental riots.
Now, Magni was doing it with a clear goal, and had arranged everything in advance. This way, even the elders of the Bronzebeard Dwarves could not say anything.
There was no so-called succession ceremony. It was just a gathering of the ministers and the handover of government affairs. Muradin Bronzebeard became the acting king, and while Magni's soul slept, he held all the power of the Bronzebeard Dwarven King.
"It's time!"
Three days later, under the watchful eyes of Duque, Muradin, Bu Laing, Kudran Wildhammer, Rock Watcher Arkavon, and a group of dwarven elders, as well as the dwarven guards in the secret chamber.
Muradin activated the ritual of connecting his soul to the earth.
The earthen-yellow radiance filled every inch of the magic array that extended from the stone slab.
The earth bore all things.
The earth nourished all things.
The richness of the earth was not something that water, fire, and wind, the three more intense elements could compare to.
Under the watchful eyes of hundreds of pairs of eyes, Magni Bronzebeard's body slowly changed. It was a stiffening that spread from the soles of his feet.
Arkavon used his deep voice to guide Magni, "Do not be afraid! The essence of dwarves is the earth spirit. You have just returned to the roots of your race. Slow down your breathing, and let yourself become a part of the earth once again. Release your will, and slowly search for your self-worth in the earth. When you find your answer in the embrace of Mother Earth, that will be the day you become a demigod. "
Magni's body had crystallized.
In less than five minutes, from his feet to his waist, then to his chest, neck, limbs, and finally even his head had turned into diamonds.
It looked like Magni had completely lost his breath, and had become a diamond man.
If they didn't know better, they would probably think that Magni was already dead.
This was the case in history, and Muradin and Bu Laing had no intention of taking the throne, and were even more unwilling to snatch the throne of their "not yet dead" brother under such circumstances. This caused the bronzebeard dwarves to fall into great chaos.
With Duque as a witness and Arkavon's guidance, everything became logical.
Muradin bowed deeply to Duque, "I'll leave the magical protection to you."
Duque bowed deeply in return, "Leave it to me."
After Duque spent an hour to complete a demigod-level magical protection circle, he connected it to the magic net and monitored it at all times. A team of a hundred dwarven secret room guards were stationed around the magic circle. In the next few years, they would take turns to guard their king's surroundings, until Magni returned after stepping into the divine realm, or … to witness Magni's true, eternal death.
While the dwarves were transitioning their power, a terrible political storm was brewing on the tribe's side.
Thrall had lost control of the tribe.
"Answer me! Great Chief, what exactly caused the tribe to weaken and degenerate!? " Tens of thousands of orcs gathered in Orgrimmar's Valley of Wisdom, Valley of Power, and Valley of Spirit, letting out earth-shattering questions.
