They were separated in four directions, and sat on the edge of the ring pattern in the temple, Alexstaza got up slightly, stretched out his hand, and made a "please" gesture towards Dick, the southernmost chair, obviously prepared for him.
Dick nodded to the mature queen who was dressed very "simply" and hot, and Ysera sitting next to her, the green dragon queen was also an old acquaintance, well, and the serious bronze dragon king Nozdorm, and the bitter and vengeful blue dragon king Malygos.
Actually, if the two queens had dressed more formally, the meeting might have been more serious, but the dragon's aesthetic is different from that of humans, so Her Majesty didn't think there was anything wrong with her dress.
Naturally, it was not convenient for the paladin to dwell on this issue, so in order to avoid appearing impolite, he took the initiative to bow his head slightly, and no longer looked at Alexstasa and Isera's appearance, which almost exuded a sweet aroma.
"Dick, maybe I should call you another name. ”
Nozdorm's narrow eyes glanced at the paladin, and an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Did the journey to the Broken Isles go well?
Dick raised his head when he heard this, he looked at Nozdorm, this dragon king who guarded the time knew all the secrets, and there was no doubt that there was no point in pretending to be garlic in front of him.
So he nodded, "It's not bad, I got what I wanted to harvest, and I got what I wanted." ”
Nozdom nodded and said no more, but Malygos, who was sitting beside him, spoke in an unkind tone,
"Then let's take advantage of your good mood to talk about the problems of the civilized world!"
"Huh?"
Dick looked at Malygos suspiciously, he shouldn't have offended him recently, right? Or did this old dragon's mental condition have been serious recently?
"Over the past three months, the Nexus has detected 27 magical activities from the Dark Gate in the Cursed Lands!"
Malygos stared at Dick in a tone that was neither sad nor joyful, but the dissatisfaction contained in it still made the paladin frown, but the old dragon's narration continued, "Magical observers have detected different numbers of creatures frequently coming and going to the portal that has torn apart the plane barriers, most recently 7 days ago, thousands of creatures suspected of being upper elves were detained through the Dark Gate to the shattered Draenor. ”
"I don't care what deal you have with those guys in Draenor, but Dick! You have to be clear, every time the dark door is opened, it will cause the web of Azeroth to vibrate, this vibration may be beneficial or harmful, but it will not hide your reckless actions, the High Elves of Quel'Thalas have restarted the erosion of the local web, the mages of Dalaran have restarted the study of dangerous wormholes, and even Karazan, who has been silent for a long time, has begun to open those void rifts, and these forces are all related to you!"
"And the ship that fell from the sky before! It took me half a month to repair the torn space barrier in the Nexus! The lives of those who call themselves draenei are currently only connected to your Theramore. ”
The light in Malygos' eyes grew stronger and stronger, like two blue flames,
"So, if you continue to use magic like this, I'll have to consider taking back the permission of the magic net!"
"Malygos, suppress your anger, can you say this casually?"
After the Blue Dragon King's words were finished, before Dick could react, the Red Dragon Queen loudly stopped the old blue dragon's somewhat thoughtless speech, Malygos does have the ability to take back the permission of the magic net, but once he does so, it means that Azeroth will instantly decline from a highly developed magical civilization to a low-magic world, or even worse, to a world without magical power.
The magic web still exists, but all mortals' power to use magic will be directly erased.
It's hardly as troublesome as the world restarts.
"Humph!"
Malygos shut his mouth stupidly, he probably realized that he was a little overdone, but Dick smiled absently, he leaned back in his seat, and looked at Malygos, the mighty old blue dragon, with a playful look,
"Can I think you're venting your anger on me? Lord of Magic, I know that the grave of your spouse, Sindagoza, the mighty blue dragon who fell in the Dragon Wars, has just been dug up by Arthas's Death Knights, and that the poor dragon is about to be made into a bone dragon and offered to the soon-to-awaken Lich King, and you must be furious. ”
Dick's eyes narrowed,
"So I guess you're using me to get angry, but I forgive you, after all, all anger is the pain of your own incompetence!"
When this sentence was spoken, it immediately detonated the atmosphere that had eased down, and the old blue dragon almost gritted his teeth and said word by word,
"Mortal, do you know what you're talking about?"
The smile on Dick's face disappeared as well, and his body moved forward slightly,
"I'm not mortal! Watch your words, Malygos, you should call me the Great Guardian! Lord Nogannon didn't give you authority to harm the world, you planned to do so, you were planning to rebel!
Not to be outdone, Malygos raised his eyebrows,
"Then you can try! right here, right now!"
But in the next moment, Alexstasa stood up from his chair and stopped loudly,
"Enough! Malygos, Dick, you two, enough! We are not gathered here for a pointless internal struggle!"
Ysera and Nozdorm also stood up, the Red Dragon Queen glanced at the dragon kings, shook her head, and changed back to the sitting position just now, she breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Malygos who lowered her head, and her tone softened,
"Well, Mr. Malygos, I'll admit that Dick's words were a bit radical, but you do have to retract what you said before, you and I both know that a single dark portal can't have any effect on Azeroth, otherwise you would have fought out of the orc invasion for nearly twenty years, and this stupid argument will end here. Let's start with a talk. ”
"The undead are invading our holy land, and if they succeed, thousands of dragon bones will fall into their hands, and we all know what they will do with those things! So now that we have a common adversary, Knight Dick, we are for the dignity of the dead, and you for the sake of the survivors' tomorrow, I now formally propose that the dragons join this war, but only in the Dragonbone Wilderness, and outside of this battlefield, you will have to rely on yourselves. ”
Dick froze for a moment, what kind of rhythm is this? In their previous lives, these dragons didn't care about the war of the undead at all!
However, he glanced at the expressions of the dragon kings, and even Malygos, who was still angry just now, became a little calmer, obviously this was discussed by the dragon kings before, so he pondered for a moment and nodded.
"I'm very welcome to the dragons in the Northern Expedition, in fact, as long as the news spreads, I'm sure our soldiers will be demoralized!but..."
Dick touched his palm, he was a little hesitant to tell the matter, and finally decided to explain it first,
"Actually, we have two wars to fight! In addition to the undead, I have a war that began tens of thousands of years ago and needs your help. ”
The Sands of Time on Nozdorm's shoulders spun a little faster, and he asked softly,
"Ulduar?"
"Yes, Ulduar, it's time for the guardian dragons to return to the system of the Titan's creation, and after the War of the Dead is over, I will begin the campaign to reclaim the Titan city of Ulduar, and if you can, you are welcome to join it!"
The paladin stood up, a flash of lightning flashed through his fingertips, "Layden, the last Great Guardian, has placed this responsibility on me, but I alone am not enough to fight against the evil forces of Ulduar, I need help, but this is a war outside of mortals, they can't even get close to Ulduar! Only the Titan Creations can, only you and I can." ”
"That will be the last battle of Azeroth, your former friends and relatives will fight with you, Odin and I, as the commanders of this war, we will face the former guardians, they have been infested by the ancient god Yogsaron for too long, no one wants Ulduar to fall completely, so we have to take the initiative. ”
Dick pulled out a teleportation marker from his bosom, he looked at Alexstaza, who nodded at him, and Dick, who had gotten it, crushed the marker, and the portal flickered, appearing on the top floor of the Temple of Dragon's Sleep,
"For this battle, I found Uldaman's Titan Legion, Pandaria's Titan Legion, and Odin's Immortal Legion, but I never helped too little, in fact, to face Yogsaron, we really had to twist together. ”
"So, allow me to introduce you to some old friends!"
Dick's heart moved, and Lord Avena, who was still in the dreadnought fortress and was "recovering her body", screamed and sent everyone waiting in the hall into the portal, and she herself was the last to jump in.
And in the Temple of the Dragon's Sleep, Heimdall, Azadas, Elonnaya and the little blue dragon princess Stella Gossa walked out one by one, Heimdall looked somewhat familiar with Nozdorm, and Elonnaya had an affectionate treasure with Ysera, Azadas looked for the familiar figure in the dragon king, but never found it, and finally Stella Gossah, when the blue dragon princess appeared, Malygos stood up directly from the chair, and even brought down the chair behind him.
"You... Who are you? Son, why have I never seen you?"
The old blue dragon looked at Stella Gossa and then at the silent Dick, he was even a little nervous, this situation happened to the well-informed old blue dragon, it was indeed a little unimaginable.
Stella Gosa also looked at the high elf in front of her with a temperament similar to her grandfather, and she felt a kind of pressure from her elders coming from him, so after a moment of silence, the Blue Dragon Princess decided to answer the question.
"You... Hello, strange elder, my name is Stella Gosa, I am from the turquoise habitat of Asuna, you may know my grandfather, his name is Senagoss. ”
Dick stepped forward at the right time, patted the Blue Dragon Princess on the shoulder, realizing that she didn't need to be nervous, and then introduced Stella Gosa,
"This is Lord Malygos, the current King of the Blue Dragon, the King of Magic, yes, he is also the original group of Mr. Senagos's kindred, an elder of the same age as your grandfather, you should call him..."
"Call me grandfather, son! Senagos, magic is on top, I thought he had... Great, it's really good!"
Malygos stretched out a trembling hand, and when he approached Stellagosa, he suddenly retracted it, and then looked at Stellagosa with some nervousness, at this moment, all the anger, all the indifference, all the hostility, disappeared at this moment, the King of Magic looked at Dick and asked the question he was most concerned about,
"That turquoise habitat... How many more blue dragons are there?"
"Nearly 800, most of them are young dragons and hatchlings, and because Asuna's mana nodes have been depleted very early, Senagos has not egged all the blue dragon eggs, and there should still be some stored in Asuna's last mana node. ”
Dick looked at Stellagosa, who immediately explained,
"Asuna's magic node is not enough, grandfather has to stop absorbing magic from the outside world, we still have nearly 300 blue dragon eggs sealed in the magic cave, in fact, if it wasn't for Mr. Dick who got the Eye of Amansur from the elves of Sulama, grandfather probably wouldn't have survived the previous weakness, he saved us, he saved all the blue dragons of Assuna. ”
Malygos's face immediately became nervous,
"Magic power is exhausted? No, it can't be like this, the development of the blue dragon must have enough magic power, and those blue dragon eggs must be under the condition of sufficient magic power in order to grow healthily, they must be sent to the kodara as quickly as possible, child, you and I go together, the kodara has enough magic power, the inexhaustible magic power, you... You don't have to suffer anymore. ”
After speaking, Alexstaza's voice also rang out,
"It's really a great gift, 800 pure-blooded blue dragons, that's almost all the newborn blue dragons in the last 2,000 years combined, and Xenagos, I know him, it's a brave heroic blue dragon, thank you, Dick, you have given Malygos new hope. ”
Malygos also reacted, he solemnly saluted Dick, "I'm sorry, Knight Dick, I apologize for the dishonorable duty just now, thank you for everything you have done for my people, for my relatives, but please forgive me, I have to rush to Asuna now, magic is above, these ten thousand years, I have wasted too much time on useless hatred, Senagos... He's right, his contribution to the Blue Dragon is much greater than mine. ”
Dick shrugged his shoulders, Malygos took the still somewhat dazed Stella Gossa in the sparkle of teleportation, disappeared in the Temple of Dragon's Sleep, from Northrend to the Shattered Isles, for ordinary people, it was a journey that would take at least nearly a month, but for the King of Magic, as long as he knew the exact location, it was just a matter of teleportation, and with the blessing of magical authority, there was no place in this world that Malygos couldn't go.
But Senagos, the blue dragon who is not much weaker than Malygos, wants to hide himself, even Malygos, it is difficult to find him, but fortunately, this dispute that has lasted for 10,000 years, and finally there is a trace of possibility of reconciliation, which is enough.
But in the midst of the peace, Nozdorm's voice rang in Dick's ears,
"There were only 121 blue dragons in the Blue Habitat, but in the time I didn't notice, it increased to 834, and there were 300 more Blue Dragon Eggs without eggs, which was nearly 10 times more, which caused Asuna's magic to dry up 200 years earlier... So tell me, Dick, does this timeline that shouldn't be there have anything to do with you?"
The paladin winked at the Bronze Dragon King,
"You see, once in a while, there is nothing wrong with transgressing the rules, there are still more than 100 blue dragon eggs hidden under the Temple of the Dragon's Sleep, but that won't change anything, believe me, Mr. Nozdorm, only in this way can you save your brother a little. ”
"Time... It's a serious topic, but... I'll admit it, you're right, for Malygos' sake, no next time!
