131 [Weave a net to catch dragons]
Ronin, who was on the other end of the communication stone, fell silent after hearing this, and it seemed that he couldn't figure out how Oryx learned the identity that Crassus had hidden for many years.
After a few seconds, the winner of life said just three words: "Okay, wait a minute." ”
There was a murmur in the communication magic.
After a while, a magnetic voice sounded on the other end: "Sure enough...... The last time we met, I felt like you knew who I was. ”
This must be the long-heard but never met Master Crassus - the magical genius of the Red Dragon Clan, the youngest consort of the Red Dragon Queen, in an environment where the dragons generally disregard mortals, unusually attach importance to mortals, believing that mortal power cannot be ignored. For thousands of years, he has walked among mortals in his incarnation, leaving a strong mark on the history of mankind, the history of Dalaran and the history of the Kenrito Council! Originally, he had left Dalaran for the past ten years, and had been by his lover's side, who had been enslaved by the orcs. However, in the past few months, since the rise of the Scourge Legion, he has occasionally returned to Dalaran to observe the reactions of the mortal world and continue to carry out his duties.
"Master Crassus." Oryx said respectfully.
He hadn't seen Crassus until now, if not counting when he was received by the Kenrito Council. The last time the other party said that they met, thinking about it, could only be in Northrend nearly two months ago.
When hundreds of gargoyles chased and killed themselves and Illusia, the huge red dragon that came to resolve the crisis should be Clyostraz.
"I did know who you were all along." He said frankly.
"Is that what the Light told you?"
"Yes. The Light has also told me many things, such as the story of you who have walked the world in your incarnation for thousands of years, observing and guiding mortals. "Oryx felt like he was getting more and more like a god.
There was silence on the other end of the communication stone for a moment.
"What do you mean by Onexia lurking in the Alliance?"
"Even if I don't say it, I'm sure Master Crassus can guess." Oryx sold a pass, but he just wanted to verify one thing.
That's if they ever doubted Katrana Presto.
If there is a "S.H.I.E.L.D." in this world, it is the Kenrito Council that leads Dalaran. They have been closely monitoring the countries of humanity and not missing any clues that could lead to disaster.
Ten years ago, the "Davar Presto", who suddenly came to Lordaeron, not only had a blank resume in the past, but also gained the unanimous trust of the league's top brass in a very short period of time, was suspected by them.
Although they didn't know until now that Davar Presto was the embodiment of Deathwing, they did suspect that he had used magic to bewitch the top of the Alliance, otherwise how could he have turned a group of old politicians around with his personal charm alone.
Davar Presto, surnamed Presto.
Katrana Presto, also surnamed Presto.
Although the bloodlines of the seven kingdoms of mankind are chaotic, and the same surname does not mean that they come from the same family, and may even be unrelated, but all kinds of similarities are always a coincidence that is obvious at first glance, but when you think about it, you think that it is just a serious one that seems too stupid, and then you think about it is not quite right.
With the strength with which the Kenrito Council spies on the Seven Kingdoms, it is impossible not to suspect the head of Katlana Presto, the incarnation of Onexia. Even if she doesn't have the surname Presto and has nothing to do with the nobleman who almost became the new king of Alterac ten years ago, the mere fact that she has become a powerful figure in the Stormwind Kingdom and has led the government in just a few years is enough to arouse legitimate suspicion, surveillance, and covert investigation.
The distance is not to be used as an excuse for not doing so, and if it was before the Second War, it was possible. None of the remaining six nations are interested in the Stormwind Kingdom, which is isolated from the human world. The only thing that interested him was the Last Guardian, Medivan, and his Karazan Tower. However, the Second War and the formation of the alliance changed this situation, and since then the Eastern Continent has been closely united as a whole.
"You mean to ...... Katrana Presto? Crassus was quick to say the name Aurix wanted to hear.
It seems that the Kenrito Council still paid attention to her, even if it was only aware of the slightest irrationality, and did not rise to the level of suspicion...... Oryx nodded secretly, thinking that this was reasonable.
"That's right, it's her. She is the Black Dragon Princess Onexia, and the Light tells me that she was sent by her father, Deathwing, to wreak havoc on politics in the Stormwind Kingdom years ago. Even the Brotherhood of Stonemasons rebellion a few years ago was caused by her......" Orix nodded.
He took out the words he had prepared, and spent a few minutes talking to Crassus.
Of course, it is processed, and it is necessary to obscure some details, to give people the impression that they are seeing it all from the revelation of the Light, otherwise they may attract suspicion, especially the presence of Crassus.
"I see. I'll personally go to the Stormwind Kingdom to investigate, and if the news is true, you'll reap the dragons' gratitude. If Deathwing's daughter is trying to dominate mortals, then this really doesn't bode well. Crassus pondered.
"Please investigate as soon as possible. On top of that, she's about to travel with me to the tomb of Tyre to find the two artifacts in the tomb. Oryx added, informing him of the adventure he had agreed with Catlana.
Of course, the members of the Five-Colored Dragons knew the exact location of the Tomb of Tyr.
In fact, there is also a plot loophole involved in this, that is, Yugsaron has made Ulduar unlikely, the guardians are dying and fleeing, and Tyr and Azadas have fled to the south with a group of creations, and the momentum has been so big that it can't be concealed no matter what.
But the five-colored dragons, who instinctively discovered all this, sat back and watched the guardians die, be corrupted, or fall into an eternal sleep one by one, completely indifferent. It's like a deaf person who turns a blind eye to an imminent nuclear explosion.
The Dragons only swayed a skirmish between the Viku years later. This is a loophole that cannot be returned, because the five-colored dragons are well aware that the Forge of Will in Ulduar has the terrifying ability to restart the cycle of life in Azeroth, and it cannot be missed.
But it's not about Oryx.
He just felt that the Five-Colored Dragon Clan should feel that he owed a lot to the Guardian Tyr.
Tyr helped them kill Galakron, who nearly unleashed a wave of necromancy for Azeroth, and found their shining light in that war. It was this guardian who persuaded his colleagues to use himself as a medium to attract the power of the Titans, blessed the five young dragons, made them the guardian dragons they are today, and used his own power to change the life forms of their respective dragon clans, which led to the emergence of the five-colored dragon clan.
It can be said that Tyr is not only their mentor and friend, the guiding light, but also the grace of knowing them. His arm, which had been replaced by a silver arm, had been bitten off by Galakron.
When Kotir led the creature to flee south, the Five-Colored Dragons did not help.
Even in the current Tirisfal Glade, he was overtaken by two Krasis generals, and in order to protect the creation and Azadas, who was the guardian of the earth even though he was not good, he did not help at all - the setting of Azadas's perfection was so late that it was very disjointed, if I forcibly explained it, it was that he was injured by Yugsaron while fleeing from Ulduar. Otherwise, he would not have been awakened from a long slumber and killed by five nameless greedy adventurers in Uldaman - and had to return to fight him.
Tyr fought with the two Crassis Faceless for several days, and when he was exhausted, he had no choice but to blow himself up at the cost of self-sacrifice.
The magnitude of this battle alarmed the entire Azeroth, but it strangely did not alarm the five-colored dragons.
This is not because of the ancient gods. The Elder Gods could not confuse the five-colored dragons, whose main race was located in the north, while the rest of the members were scattered throughout Azeroth, and were not as powerful.
And Nesario, who was suspected of having been influenced by the ancient gods at that time, could not confuse his compatriots with the sights and ears of the robe, and he did not have such powerful skills.
Therefore, this matter should be the first of the "top ten plots with the most serious and unreasonable sense of separation after perfection".
"The Tomb of Tyr......" Sure enough, after hearing the name, Crassus sighed faintly, as if his heart was full of remorse every time he thought of the Guardian Tyr, "You want me to contact the Dragons and set up an ambush in the Tomb of Tyre to capture Onexia?" ”
"Exactly," Orix nodded, though the other might not see it, "that's what I'm pretending to cater to Onexia's ultimate goal – to capture her." ”
"But it's weird," Crassus, a dragon who has lived for an unknown number of thousands of years, quickly discovered a small problem with the details, "You will definitely seek the help of Dalaran and the High Elves on this trip." Onexia only provided information about those two artifacts, so why would she risk being exposed and enter the tomb of Tyr with you? ”
All right...... Oryx secretly sighed, thinking that he couldn't hide anything from Crassus's eyes, so he confessed: "It's to introduce me to the tomb of Tyr." I suspect that she has set a trap against me there as well......"
Crassus was silent, as if dissatisfied with such an explanation.
Knowing that this would not convince the other party, Oryx thought quickly.
Whether it is important to bring down Onexia, or is his physical condition important.
After some consideration, he finally chose the former.
Because Onexia is not only involved in Deathwing's intention to control mortals, but also with Salatas, it can no longer be regarded as the "Black Dragon Princess" of the Storm Kingdom in the official history, and the threat level has increased by several orders of magnitude.
"That's it, I doubt ......"
He took a few more minutes to explain his physical condition.
"It's scary." Crassus was taken aback.
Oryx said, "Master Crassus, I hope you can understand me. My body is fine, but I don't want outsiders to question what I'm doing after telling about it, because they can't confirm whether I'm corrupted or not. As a result, I will no longer be able to use the revelation I have received to help the Northland out of such a catastrophe. Even if the world will eventually find out that I have not been corrupted, in the current situation, I, Lordaeron, and the entire Northland cannot afford to delay at all, and there is no room for error. ”
"I can understand that. But......" Crassus turned, "I'll get a friend who is familiar with the power of the Shadows to confirm your condition." I hope you understand what I mean, too. ”
"Of course." Oryx agreed. It's normal to be suspicious, and no one wants to work with a guy who is suspected of being corrupted. Who can be sure that he has long since surrendered to the dark forces, deliberately releasing the news that Katrana is the incarnation of Onexia to lure everyone, but in fact, it is not a trap against Onexia at all, but to kill everyone in the net.
"Well, that's it. I will investigate Katlana, and if it is indeed as you say, I will gather my compatriots and arrange the capture of Onexia. My friend will be there in the near future. You are ready to be treated, and at the same time, you follow your own plan and inform Dalaran about it. Don't worry about Count Katrana's influence, Dalaran has a way to reveal the truth to the world and undo it, although it may damage the relationship between the Stormwind Kingdom and the Northlands in the short term. ”
Crassus finally gave the shot to the table, and in a word, you don't have to worry about anything.
Oryx asked, somewhat confused, "Master Crassus, I'm a little puzzled. It is far more proper, quicker, and more reasonable for you to do these things, which you confess your true identity to your colleagues in the Kenrito Council, than it is for me. Do you want to continue to hide your identity? I think that in the current situation, it has become inevitable that the five-colored dragon clan will appear in front of people and cooperate with mortals to resolve the crisis. We would not have been able to resist this catastrophe unless we worked together. Dragons will no longer be intelligent beasts in the eyes of mortals, and mortals will no longer be ordinary creatures that dragons see as dispensable to Azeroth. Your hidden identity has lost its meaning. ”
Crassus smiled, "Habitual dictates. You're right, maybe I should revisit the importance of hiding my true identity, but ...... You seem to know us five-colored dragons very well, don't tell me, this is also the knowledge you have gained in the revelation. ”
"Of course, otherwise, how else can I learn about the dragons?" Oryx replied with a self-conscious feeling.
If you don't make a decision, you can prophesy, and you just have a pot to throw it at the holy light.
"I'm getting more and more curious about you." Crassus smiled but said nothing.
"I'm also curious as to why I know so much." Oryx smiled back with a smile that the other couldn't see.
It is almost impossible to hide everything from an existence like Crassus.
In the future, I will do a lot of things that should not be done by people of this era, and the protection of the holy light will fade one day, and I can't always help myself hide my secrets.
With such a little curiosity, Oryx can still withstand it. Diagram of the Avenue of the Heavens
