If someone asks young Gianna who is the most powerful man in the world in her heart, then the little girl's answer must be her father. Although Dai Lin had high requirements for Gianna www.biquge.info, and even sent her to Dalaran, far away from home, to learn spells at a young age, Gianna still relied on her majestic father.

However, just as she looked up, Gianna suddenly found that her father's originally healthy and shiny black hair had turned gray -- how could she have changed so much in less than a year since she left her father? Dai Lin heard his daughter's puzzled question, his nose was sore, he stroked Gianna's blonde hair, turned his head and said, "Your brother ...... It's good that you finally have time to see him for the last time......" After speaking, Dai Lin, who has always shown himself as a tough guy, trembled and cried.

Gianna looked hesitantly at the man lying on the bed...... Or it's no longer recognizable that it's a person. Although his body was wrapped in thick bandages, blood still oozed out of the bandages, wetting the sheets and bedding. However, what was even more terrifying was the black-brown rotten flesh that was exposed between the bandages, exuding a burst of burnt smell.

"This ...... This ......" Gianna was a little frightened, and shrunk into her father's arms, unable to speak. Dai Lin calmed down a little, and said a little sadly: "This is your brother...... Drake ...... "Huh?" Gianna couldn't believe - was this guy lying on the bed like a dried corpse her brother Drake with blond hair and a sunny smile?

As if awakened, the "bandage man" on the bed opened his eyes and asked in a low voice, "Father...... Is it finally time......" Dalin hurriedly put Gianna beside the bed and said nervously, "No...... No, Drake, my son, it's Gianna coming......"

Gianna...... Are you here to see me one last time?" the man on the bed didn't seem to be able to move his head, but he just rolled his eyes and didn't see Gianna, and his right hand, which was placed next to the bed, twitched weakly a few times. "Drake...... Brother?" Gianna suddenly couldn't control her emotions and wanted to climb into bed - it was really Brother Drake! The little girl recognized her brother's voice, although the tone was slightly hoarse, but the tone of calling her name was definitely Brother Drake!

But how did Brother Drake become like this? Gianna was puzzled, but she just wanted to climb in front of Brother Drake now. Suddenly, Gianna felt her shoulder being held down, and when she looked back, it was her teacher, Archmage Antonidas.

"Teacher Antonidas......" Gianna muttered. "Don't get excited, he's weak right now and your movements could make his situation worse. Archmage Antonidas shook his head at his disciple. Gianna followed the teacher's advice, stood by the bedside, grabbed one of Drake's brother's charred hands, pressed it to her face, and sobbed sadly: "Teacher Antonidas...... Can you save Brother Drake?"

Archmage Antonidas didn't say anything, but checked Drake's injury, thought for a long time, and then shook his head and said, "This seems to be ...... It's not a simple burn......" Dai Lin looked at Archmage Antonidas with hope, until the learned wise man shook his head, and Dai Lin said with some disappointment, "Yes...... Master Uther had also said that these burns were not the worst injuries on Drake's body, and that if they were just burns, they could have been cured. But there is an unknown force that continues to extract Drake's life force...... Mistress Uther says that if things don't improve, Drake probably won't be able to make it through tonight......"

Archmage Antonidas pondered for a moment and said, "The red dragons?" Dalin nodded sadly, first wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then gently put his hand on the top of Gianna's head, comforting the girl who was sad for her brother, and said: "Drake was on the boat, and was directly burned by the flames of a red dragon, although he fell into the water, the flames were not extinguished...... By the time we were rescued on board, the flames were extinguished, but Drake's injuries were not healed anyway......"

Just then, the door to the room suddenly opened, and a high elf dressed in simple clothes rushed in and rushed to the bed. Dalin's old subordinate and old friend, Wishead Losevich followed closely behind and said apologetically, "Dalin...... I'm sorry I didn't stop him......"

Archmage Antonidas hurriedly said, "It's okay, this is Archmage Crassus of Dalaran, he has more knowledge than me, maybe there is a way to heal Drake." Dalein listened to Archmage Antonidas and nodded to Losevich, who exited the room and closed the door.

Daillin looked at Crassus, who was half-kneeling beside the bed, with hope again, and although he knew that there was little hope, Dalin still had a hint of extravagance for Drake's recovery...... However, the unforgiving reality struck the old father once more, and Crassus slowly stood up and said, "It is indeed the damage caused by the breath of the red dragon, but ...... I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do. ”

Dalin's heart was stabbed once more violently - what could be more heartbreaking than to let a man see the hope of climbing to the top of the mountain and then being thrown to the bottom? The old father seemed to have lost his support, but kept stroking his daughter's blonde hair, and said nothing with tears in his eyes, and his back, which had been as tall and straight as a mountain, was now like a drooping old farmer, rickety and decadent.

Archmage Antonidas pulled Archmage Crassus aside and asked, "Crassus, have you found anything?" Archmage Crassus shook his head and said, "No, I went around the town of Nanhai a few times, and then went to the opposite Baladine Bay to take a look, and I didn't find any trace of the red dragon...... However, the orc fleet seems to be heading here...... I've just informed the commander named Uther. ”

Archmage Antonidas's heart sank, and he said, "No matter where those red dragons are hiding, since the orc fleet is about to arrive, then these red dragons will definitely cooperate with the orcs to attack." I must go and inform the mages immediately, it is better to prepare. Crassus, you come with me. ”

Archmage Crassus shook his head and said, "No, Antonidas, I have other things, I'm sorry. With that, Archmage Crassus disappeared once more. Archmage Antonidas had no choice but to leave the room quietly, on the one hand, to inform the mages who had come to South Sea Town to support them that it was best to prepare for battle, and on the other hand, to leave some private space for the Proudmoor family in the room - after all, Drake had little time left, so let his relatives spend this last time with him, maybe it would ease his pain a little- Archmage Antonidas noticed that every muscle in Drake's body was trembling slightly, the pain of being burned by the flames, only this kind of real tough guy could hold on without wailing!
