The Dust Swamp, the most troublesome area for the nascent Kingdom of Theramore. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This is the largest swamp in Kalimdor, and even in the whole of Azeroth, and the internal environment is quite complex, with savage ogre tribes, towns built by goblin consortia to dig up "treasures", crocodiles that frantically attack passers-by, poisonous wind snakes that fly silently in the forest, and some violent people banished by the minotaurs, the terror totem minotaur villages.

Even if you dare to go deeper, you can find a scorched land, where hundreds of black dragon dragons roam, and in the true depths of the dust swamp, there is a dragon's lair, a large lair made of hollowed out mountains.

It's the lair of the Black Dragon Princess Onexia!

No one knows why the ferocious and crazy she-dragon chose this lair, but she has lived here for hundreds of years since the reign of the Night Elves.

On weekdays, Theramore's mages and druids will also selectively open up some swamps as farmland for new residents, but these are all carried out on a small scale, in fact, Theramore's exploration of the depths of the Dust Swamp is only once, that is, when looking for the legendary "former guardian" Egwene who lives in seclusion in the depths of the Dust Swamp, almost all the mages in the country poured out of their nests and went deep into the swamp under the cover of the soldiers.

In the end, it took 2 months to discover the hidden barrier in the northeast of the swamp, in fact, if it weren't for Lady Egwene's interest in this new human city, those mages alone would not have been able to find the "Water Light Manor" where she lived.

Today, though, that's all changed.

All the scouts in the entire Northern Fortress were urgently withdrawn to Theramore in one day, and without repairs, each squad was assigned a mage to go deep into the swamp to look for any clues.

The real task is known only to the paladins who lead each squad, these experienced scouts with swords in their hands shuttle through the swamp, heading towards the deepest part of the swamp, and their task is to find the most suitable path for the knights of the Silver Dawn Brigade to be dispatched in the shortest possible time.

There are so many forces involved in this operation that even some civilians are speculating, and they are rumoring that it must be the eldest princess of Kalia who has made up her mind to open up the swamp.

Of course, we all know that this is not the case.

"At all costs, Varian must be saved!"

Kalia Minahir sat behind the conference table in a long dress, her tone more firm than ever, and there was a sadness on the face of this weak princess like a ripe peach.

"I've already lost a brother, I can't afford to lose another!"

The eldest princess's eyes were on Dick who was on crutches, "Knight Dick, I will hand over all the soldiers of Theramore to you! I have only one request! Bring Varian back! Whether it is a female dragon or something else, I don't want to pay attention to it, I will definitely save him!"

Dick nodded, he knew that King Varian had spent his childhood in Lordaeron, when the kingdom of Stormwind had been overrun by the orcs, this king was housed in the court of King Terenus, the old king regarded him as his own, and Varian had a good relationship with Arthas and Khalia, but he was like a brother.

But everyone in the meeting knew that this task was not so easy to accomplish, after all, this is the real world, there is no minimap, those dangerous creatures will not stay in the woods honestly, and the black dragons will not stay there stupidly waiting for Dick to come to the crusade.

"The environment in the depths of the Dust Swamp is complex, especially near the Dragon's Lair. ”

"Actually, I've been there more than once, that dragon's lair is cleverly designed, and it has the magic of a fallen guardian dragon, and if my power is still there, it might be easy to open it, but for now, you may have to find the key to open that dragon's lair first!"

The paladin's brow furrowed,

"Can't we gather the power of the mages and blast open that gate?"

A hint of disdain flashed on Egwen's well-maintained face, and she habitually held the whip in her hand, which made the corners of Madion's mouth twitch when she was sitting next to her, and then he heard her grandmother's angry voice,

"I really don't know if Medivan has a bad brain, and actually found a rude paladin as an apprentice! Don't you know that all defensive magic has a "self-destructing" design? It's not impossible to blast it open, but that will cause the entire mountain to collapse, and this level can't kill an adult black dragon, but the person you want to save will definitely be crushed into minced meat! Magic, magic is a sophisticated discipline, if I hear you in the future, I will definitely cancel your apprenticeship!"

Dick touched his nose in amusement, but he didn't dare to refute anything, he bowed and left the conference hall, he walked quickly to the mage tower with his cane, at this point, Gianna should be meditating, when the paladin pushed the door open, the eldest lady had just woken up from meditation.

"Anna, can you send me to the deepest part of the Dust Swamp?"

Miss Mage looked at Dick and said with some concern,

"Yes, yes, but your body..."

The paladin squeezed the mage's hand and scraped it on her nose,

"Don't worry, you go with me, and we're not going to trouble those black dragons, I'm going to find someone... No, a dragon. ”

Just as Miss Mage was about to teleport her magic, Dick turned to her shadow and said,

"Merin, let the watchers assemble, there is a secret mission to do, by the way, help me send a letter to Chief Thrall, I want to borrow someone from him!"

Fifteen minutes later, the deepest part of the Dust Swamp was scorched.

The moment the light blue teleportation light lit up, the three-headed lizard-like black dragon dragonmen patrolling nearby walked towards this side with their weapons in hand.

When the two guys snuggled together appeared from the light, the black dragon dragonman's rough weapon had already been slashed head-on, but just before the weapon landed on Dick's body, which was still unable to resist, a stream of pure white ice rushed out, and circled around the three-headed dragonman a few times, and the thick ice rose from the ground, completely freezing one of the spellcaster dragonmen.

The movements of the other two-headed dragonmen also slowed down, and the primordial flow in the eldest lady's hand swung outward, and two sharp and thick ice picks roared out of the air, piercing through the bodies of the two-headed dragonmen.

Although I don't want to admit it, but Dick looked at this clean kill, the corners of his mouth twitched, the eldest lady broke through the shackles last month and was promoted to a high-level lord, in Dick's timeline, she has not experienced a painful love with Arthas, and the eldest lady who is dedicated to the study of magic is becoming stronger at a faster rate.

The current Dick is estimated to have to work hard to get a draw with the mage lady.

The paladin pulled out his engineering binoculars, put them in his hand, and looked at the surrounding mountains for several minutes, desperately remembering the location in his memory, and finally pointed his finger in the northwest direction.

"Go there!"

Ebotstaff, this is an older black dragon, the strength is very average, but it is said that it is the most trusted guard of the black dragon prince Nefarian, so he was sent to be the liaison between the black dragon prince and the princess, and Dick, who has done many tasks to open the black dragon princess's lair, naturally knows that the "token" that Ms. Egwen said is actually placed on the body of this black dragon.

It was known as the "Dragonfire Amulet", a badge that was said to be available only to the most elite dragonmen, and as a symbol of the dragon's lair opener, the black dragon princess Onexia's lair gatekeeper was also selected by Ebertstaff.

According to the quest process, the hard-pressed players need to do a series of tasks to get the approval of the strange black dragon and get the precursor of the dragon fire amulet, but Dick doesn't need to do that much now.

When he stepped into the cave of Ebotstaff with the eldest lady and ten heavily armed watchmen, the paladin had only one thought in his mind.

"It'll give me what I need!"

The paladin stretched out his finger and pointed at the huge black dragon that was sleeping in the depths of the cave, and turned to Nasha, the leader of the watchers who was holding the knife wheel, and whispered, "Don't kill it, it will alarm Onexia, I only need that amulet, and everything else can be left to you!"

Since the Battle of the Ancients, the veteran watchman who has been by Ms. Mavi's side will naturally not be a good man or a woman, Nasha nodded,

"It just so happens that the new sisters need some dragon's blood to prepare the potion, and I'm happy with this gift, Commander!"

"Whatever you want!"

Dick waved his hand, his current situation was really more than enough but not enough, every step would be a sharp pain in his body, let alone fighting, after the watchers escaped into the shadows, towards the old black dragon who didn't know that the disaster was coming, Dick's head tilted towards the eager eldest lady,

"Honey, help me contact the mages of Stormwind. ”

A dear sound made Gianna's cheeks redden, and she took out a special sound transmission stone from the storage ring, which was a special communication item made when Dalaran still existed, and it had strong communication performance.

After a while, the communication was connected, and a somewhat strange male voice came,

"I'm Stormwind Royal Mage Marlene, Lady Gianna, is there anything special?"

Dick's hand was around Gianna's slender waist, and he whispered in a somewhat trembling voice,

"I'm Dick, Earl of the North of Theramore, please contact Marshal Wendthor as quickly as possible!"

After saying that, the paladin added another sentence, "This is news about King Varian!"

There was silence for less than 1 minute, and the old marshal's voice was a little lacking in breath,

"Thank goodness, Knight Dick, you're all right, Sean told me you were taken away by the black dragon, and His Majesty, did you find Your Majesty?"

"The good news is that we've found traces of His Majesty Varian, but the bad news is that we can't open the door to the black dragon's lair. ”

Dick's face became serious, he glanced at the old black dragon who was being pressed to the ground by the tiger-like watchmen, and said to Wendsol, who was far away in the Eastern Continent,

"Listen, Your Excellency, I'm about to get the token to open the dragon's lair, but this alone is not enough! I need you to go to the Blackstone Tower to hunt down the dragonman general hidden in it, Dakisas! It is the gatekeeper of the Black Dragon Prince Nefarian, and its blood can also help us open the door to the Black Dragon Princess's lair, I don't care what method you use, 2 days! Within 2 days, I must see the body of the dragonman sent to Theramore, and there are professionals here who will be responsible for extracting its blood, understand?

After hearing this, Wendsol agreed almost without hesitation,

"Yes! Within two days, the dragonman's body will be sent to Theramore, MI7 will do it!

"In addition, Theramore's high-end combat power is not enough to deal with a heroic black dragon, I need you to dispatch a batch of combat power, and participate in the battle of the black dragon's lair in 3 days, Mr. Wendsol, every second of delay, His Majesty Varian's life will be more dangerous, act as soon as possible!"

Dick turned off the Transmission Stone, and the tall watcher walked up to him, reaching out and handing over several dim talismans mixed with shocking dragon scale fragments and some scorching flesh.

"Found what you're looking for, Commander, but IMHO, these talismans are unactivated and half-finished. ”

"I know, Nasha, our friends will help us with the next steps, rest well, in three days, there is still a fierce battle to fight!"
