12 [Crassus's Thoughts]
Just as he was about to return to Violet Castle, he saw a man walking up the wide staircase. Thin, pale-complexioned, and pointy ears, he was none other than Master Crassus of the Kenrito Council.
Ansrem Ruinwivol hurriedly saluted: "Master Crassus." ”
"We're already colleagues, so we don't have to be so polite." Crassus said with a smile.
Anslem didn't dare to maintain a respectful appearance until the other party was far away.
Who is Crassus?
He is the most senior member of the Kenrito Council, and there is no one. No one knows how old he is, but according to legend, he was involved in Dalaran's decision-making as early as when he was just becoming independent from the kingdom of Araso. Despite his High Elf appearance, even the successive Councillors of Quel'Salas (now the High Elf's prince, Kael'thas Sunstrider), who occupies one of the seats in Kenrito's six-member council, have a lot of respect for him.
Although among the human mages of the same era, Ainsrem Ruinwivol was very senior and accomplished in his field, so much so that he was one of the few people who knew of the existence of the Kenrito Council.
But even after joining the council, he still needs to look up to this mysterious high elf, even if the other party has disappeared for nearly ten years.
"By the way, did the meeting with the emissary of the Silver Hand Knights go well?" As he reached the bottom of the stairs, Crassus suddenly turned around and asked without a word.
After all, the other party took the official route, and as early as before arriving, a carrier pigeon sent a letter with the personal seal of the head of the Knights, Uther, explaining the general situation—what an inefficient way of communication, it would be good to use magic letters to shelv Dalaran.
Earlier, the Council of the Six was dealing with the orc problem. In any case, after all, the "asylum war" that has been going on throughout this year has taken place in the Hillsbrad Hills, which is right under their noses, although the matter is not too big, at least not to the extent that the "tribe is afraid of a comeback" that has gone viral outside, and they have not intervened, but if it continues to make trouble, they must take measures.
Half a day later, the envoy of the other party arrived, and before their discussion of the details of the follow-up plan was over, they sent the most junior Ansrem Ruinwivol to deal with the matter. Now that the meeting is over, that's why this question arises.
Anslem came back to his senses and told him what had just happened, but he was very honest about his confusion - why did the Knights of the Silver Hand, who belong to the Church of Light and the All-Alliance, use their private property to pay for the construction of the portal? It's mysterious, as if it's hiding something.
The rulers of Dalaran (the members of the Council of Six Kenrito) believe that they have an obligation to investigate the problem when they perceive an anomaly, and in case it is a conspiracy or a bad thing, it can be regarded as a preemptive stiflation of the threat to all of humanity and the whole world.
This is really not self-inflicted, in the history of mankind, Dalaran's inquiring style has really solved a lot of problems.
"I know, hard work." Crassus smiled and nodded.
Ansrem saluted and retired, leaving Crassus standing on the steps in front of the bustling Violet Castle, as if thinking about something.
"Strange ......," he muttered, "did they also detect the necromantic event in Northrend?" ”
Speaking of which, the useless plot bug criticized by Orix, the traverser, is really not such a "BUG", at least some of the circle - isn't this world that will make up for the details by itself round - it turns out that the five-colored dragon clan is not ignorant of the rise of the Scourge Legion.
The dragons also sensed the movement of the Icecrown Glacier and sent their own people (dragons) to investigate, and they were shocked by the conclusions they came to.
Necromantic energy has once again appeared unscrupulously in Azeroth! The last time Galakron, the father of the Ancestral Dragons, caused a burst of necromantic energy was after the Chronological Period, when they were not guardian dragons, but were only the young leaders of the five primordial dragon groups.
But helplessly, the three major races - yes, the four dragon clans. The Black Dragons have long ceased to fulfill their original duties. - I can't do anything if I want to.
Nine years ago, Crassus sent Ronin on a mission to save the Red Dragon Queen, during which Ronin happened to destroy the demonic souls, causing the power of each of the individuals who originally belonged to the five-colored dragon clan to return to their respective bodies. With the exception of Deathwing, the four Dragonlords regained all their strength and gathered in Stormgard to fight Deathwing to the death, killing him (in fact, he was only near-death in the Deep Rock Continent).
After years of enslavement by the Dragonthroat Clan, the Red Dragon Queen was forced to lay dragon eggs and corrupt young dragons for drive.
The Blue Dragon Clan has not recovered from the "almost extermination" 10,000 years ago, and the Blue Dragon King Malygos is still sometimes crazy and sometimes sober, and he is also a lame man who can't perform his duties if he wants to. After defeating Deathwing nine years ago, the Blue Dragon King entered a cycle of madness again, spending his days in the Nexus in fear and unable to help.
The green dragon clan is similar, and the emerald dream visions have been frequent recently, becoming more and more weird, and some dragons even suspect that they have been corrupted by the ancient gods. It's all about concentrating on dealing with the problems in the dream, and the doppelganger is lacking.
As for the Bronze Dragons...... What the? Is there still this dragon in the five-colored dragon clan? They don't care about anything, they stay at home all day and look at slides and pretend they don't exist – in fact, they may know where history is going, or at least they see the direction in which the world is likely to go in billions of possibilities, but they don't interfere.
After all, the Red Dragons will still be able to fulfill the responsibilities shared by the Titans and the Guardians.
They have also been investigating and monitoring the Scourge Legion, but they don't know that the Lich King, the founder of the Scourge Legion, is actually the "vanguard general" that the Burning Legion has thrown into this world.
Therefore, Clyostraz, who had been recuperating with his beloved spouse Alexstasa for nearly ten years, reincarnated as Crassus and returned to the mortal world. He wanted to observe for a while, to make sure that what was going on over there would not affect these mortals who he had been guiding for thousands of years to go back and continue to accompany his wife.
But......
If Oryx knew this explanation, I am afraid he would continue to complain - this "will of the world" that presents a concrete world according to the script is really pitiful, not only does it have to be faithful to the original book, but he also has to find ways to wipe his ass with the plot loopholes. Although the early screenwriters were a million times stronger than Flore's idiot, they were too bullying, and they had to wipe their butts with this kind of explanation that didn't count as explanations!
To get back to the point, Crassus was wondering if these believers in the Light would notice something.
After all, as a giant dragon and the consort of the Red Dragon Queen, his knowledge of the power of the Origin is far beyond the reach of others. At the very least, the Light can make practitioners who are more involved in it perceive the threat of an Origin Force that is the opposite of themselves, whether it be darkness, death, or chaos.
Crassus is a "human" spirit, after all, no matter what, he is a dragon that has lived for an unknown number of thousands of years, with extraordinary wisdom and has been based in human society for thousands of years, the more he thinks about it, the more reasonable he feels.
Presumably, these paladins wanted to go to Northrend to make a secret trip because they were aware of the necromantic events over there. If you want to find out the potential threat in advance, if you get information from the Light, then it makes sense to act so secretively, for fear of negative consequences.
He began to feel the need to keep an eye on the Knights of the Silver Hand.
If they were really investigating the necromancy, then they and the Red Dragon Legion wouldn't mind helping.
After all, judging from the momentum of the expansion of those necromantic creatures in Icecrown Glacier, it may indeed pose a threat to the entire world, just like Galakron, who almost swept through Azeroth by a wave of necromantic creatures countless years ago.
As an observer and guide of the mortal world, unlike most of his people, he not only despises mortals, but on the contrary, attaches great importance to their positive role in the whole world.
With this in mind, he walked to the south of the city. His apprentice, subordinate and best friend Ronin, lives there.
There are some things that he can't come forward with, so leave it to Luo Ning to do.
