102 [I have admired it for a long time]
After the Second War, Deathwing saw the potential of the mortal race of humans, and escaped into the shadows under the pseudonym Davar Presto. He also sent his son Nefarian to the Blackstone Tower to collect the remnants of the orcs, and sent his daughter Onexia to the Stormwind Kingdom to influence the government.
With his charisma—a guardian dragon who has lived for an unknown number of years and has been the guardian of the earth, it is not too easy to play around humans as mortal creatures—and the power of magic, he has won the unanimous favor of the Alliance's higher-ups, and has nearly become the successor to the throne of Alterac.
Although due to Ronin's outstanding performance during the mission "Save the Red Dragon Queen", Deathwing was defeated by the four dragon kings who had regained their strength, and escaped to the Deep Rock Continent to recuperate, and Davar Presto disappeared for no reason......
But his son and daughter succeeded.
One has become a rival with Ragnaros, the firedemon who rules the Blackstone Dwarves - the relationship between the two sides is actually very complicated, after all, Deathwing, who has been completely driven crazy by the Elder Gods, wants to completely destroy Azeroth before it is truly corrupted, and he and his Black Dragon Legion and the forces of the Elder Gods have been using each other. Of course, this was just wishful thinking on his part - the lord of the upper echelons of the Blackstone Tower, who had gained the allegiance of the Blackstone Orcs;
One became the famous countess of the Stormwind Kingdom, overseeing the government and being supported by the nobles, and her reputation was skyrocketing.
A few years ago, Onexia defeated the Brotherhood of Stonemasons through a conspiracy, successfully giving the Kingdom of Stormwind another headache.
Oryx didn't think about the things on the Storm Kingdom, after all, he was almost exhausted on his side, so how could he bother to care about the Black Dragon Princess.
He pondered for a long time.
The countess ...... No, it should be said that the Deathwing family does not want to spread their influence to the mortal race all the time, and they do not want to reach out to the core of the alliance all the time.
Onexia was sent to the Kingdom of Stormwind, not Lordaeron, the most powerful of the Seven Kingdoms, because Deathwing was in charge here, but he didn't expect his plans to be thwarted; Second, he also took a fancy to the development potential of the Storm Kingdom. Although destroyed in the First War and recovered over the years, it is still expected to develop into the second most powerful country after Lordaeron.
It's just that if the Northland is not destroyed, this time will be greatly delayed.
In the original history, the reason why the Stormwind Kingdom developed rapidly after the Third War was entirely due to the destruction of the Northlands, which led to a large influx of refugees into the Stormwind Kingdom, and had the foundation for the rapid development of a powerful country in this era.
So......
This "countess" must also take this opportunity to come to Lordaeron for a walk and spread her influence.
Oryx even felt that there was no shortage of motives to seduce Arthas and develop relations with the king of the first power, so as to expand his influence through marriage. After all, Catlana Presto's age is only in her twenties, she is unmarried, and Arthas is not married, which is normal for the ambitious black dragon princess.
It's just that with him Oryx here, it's impossible.
After a few more moments, Muradin Brasbeard finally left. One of the guards came up to him and told him that His Majesty was calling him.
Oryx glanced at it, saw that Katrana Presto was still standing there, and knew that it was inevitable to deal with the black dragon princess, so he straightened his clothes and walked up the stairs in a dignified manner.
The Black Dragon Princess Onexia, the Guardian of the Earth, is far more powerful than ordinary adult dragons.
According to the hierarchy of the Book of Time, the adult dragon is above the legend, in the realm of "demigods" in a broad sense, weaker than the true wilderness demigods "created" by the titan guardian Freya, and slightly weaker than the Loa gods who are mutually beneficial and symbiotic with the trolls - except for the powerful Loa such as Lezan and Bang Sandy, the rest of the Loa are just taking what they need from the trolls, and the so-called gods just sound a little taller, but in fact they are just more powerful natural spirits. The clearest examples of this are those whose power has been requested, usurped, or usurped by the Amani and Dakalai trolls in times of crisis.
And Onexia's strength is better than that of ordinary Loa, and in the generalized demigod level, it can be regarded as one of the middle streams. After all, her father, even before being called Deathwing, was a powerful presence in the Guardian/Guardian Dragon rank.
However, Oryx knew that Onexia would not dare to do anything wrong in Lordaeron's palace. Not to mention that she didn't come to use force in the first place, even if she wanted to use force, she was so close to Dalaran, who gathered the strongest existence in all mankind, she didn't dare to touch this mold.
Walking up the stairs, the eyes of the "black beauty" never left him, and when he came closer, he said with great grace: "Greetings, Count Oryx." ”
"Your Majesty, Count Catlana." Oryx saluted each of them.
"The Countess has been waiting for you, and if you don't come again, I'll send someone to invite you." Arthas said with a smile.
Oryx was stunned...... Wait for me?
His heart suddenly lit up, and he suddenly realized that this black dragon princess might not have come to Arthas, but ......
Running for themselves.
Looking up, Katrana was staring at herself, barely hiding the admiration in her eyes.
If he didn't know her true identity, maybe Oryx would really have the idea that this woman definitely fell in love with me, and then think about the other party's beauty, think about the other party's identity, maybe he would think that the development of the relationship is not bad, and the marriage is even more beneficial to the family and the kingdom, it is simply the best of both worlds, and then it will be set.
"For nearly a month, rumors about you have spread throughout the Stormwind Kingdom, and the people of the south have known about such a great saint as you. I have admired you for a long time, Lord Earl. Katrana said with a whimsical expression.
"It's just a name, I just followed the will of the Holy Light and did what I had to do." Oryx said modestly.
"Alright, let's not stand here anymore. Let's go, let's go to dinner together, dinner is already ready for us. We talked all afternoon, and we were hungry. Oryx, you haven't had dinner yet, have you? Arthas took off his coat and handed it to the guards, leading them to the banquet hall.
Normally, Arthas should be in the middle, with Oryx and the exotic countess on the left and right.
But at this time, it was Arthas who walked on the far left, Orix in the middle, and Katrana on the right.
Alsace had no feeling at all, and it was clear that the day's conversation was a pleasure for both the guest and the host.
If it weren't for the fact that he didn't notice the fluctuations in magic, Orix would even think that his king had been bewitched by the black dragon princess with magic.
"It's really a hero out of a young man, looking at the long history, it's really rare to see someone like you who has made such great achievements at such an age."
"He's my most trusted right-hand man."
On the way, Catlana's flattering words were thrown over as if she didn't want money, and Arthas still echoed it.
Neither is Oryx modest, nor is he not modest.
When entering the door of the ballroom, Arthas was in front, and Orix and Katrana were behind.
The black dragon princess also touched him unintentionally, he pretended to be embarrassed and turned his head to apologize, and the waiting for the black dragon princess smiled meaningfully.
In all fairness, if you don't know that this is the terrifying Black Dragon Princess, this touch, this laugh, is still very lethal. Diagram of the Avenue of the Heavens
