Chapter 244: Saving the Red Dragon Queen
"I'm Crassus, but that's just my mortal name, my dragon's name is Cleostraz!" The red dragon said in a loud voice.
Carlin calmly looked at the behemoth in front of him, and his expression did not fluctuate.
"You don't look surprised, Karin?" Archmage Crassus, or the Red Dragon Clay Ostraz, spoke, looking down at the young High Elf mage.
The top floor of the White Tower is so spacious that it seems easy to understand, because if it were a little narrower, it might not fit Clyostraz's body. He was bigger than any red dragon Carlin had ever seen before.
"Of course!" Carlin shrugged, "The mentor told me a long time ago that you are most likely a dragon, and most likely a red dragon. ”
Carlin was telling the truth, and as soon as he returned to Dalaran from Quel'Thalas, the archmage Antonidas found him and told him about it...... Although this matter was very clear to Carlin in his previous life.
"Antonidas is indeed a powerful mage!" Crassus sighed, "He can actually guess my identity...... But isn't he afraid of my counterattack? ”
"He believes in your loyalty to Dalaran." Carlin replied, "In fact, you yourself have proven it. ”
Even if the legendary spell of "Nogannon's Arcane Stasis" is cast through the "Eye of Dalaran", it is not enough to rely on the power of four gray-robed mages to infuse it; In fact, Crassus played an important role in this dragon hunt, and if it weren't for the fact that he also poured all his power into the "Eye of Dalaran" as a white-robed man, Antonidas might not have been able to complete the spell in the end.
"Moreover, the mentor also believes that the red dragon, who has always been invincible, cannot join the tribe for nothing, so there must be something strange ...... among them," Carlin continued, staring at Crassus deadly: "He's been waiting for your reply......"
"Yes!" A trace of sadness flashed in the corner of Crassus's eyes: "I'm sorry, but my people have to accept the enslavement of the tribe......"
"Alexstasa, Lifebinder, my queen, queen of the Red Dragons......" Crassus's voice was sad and worried, "The orcs used an artifact to trap her and smash the depths of Grimbaatar......"
A smile flashed in the corner of Carlin's eye, and he took a few steps forward, as if to say to himself:
"Alexstasa? A few years ago, I had read about this name in Medivan's library, and the five guardian dragons of Azeroth: Alexstasa the Oath of Life, Malygos the Weaver, Ysera the Sleeper, Nozdom the Eternal, and Nesario, the Guardian of the Earth, right? ”
Crassus has reverted back to his elven form.
"Worthy of the Astral Mage Medivan......"
Crassus sighed under his breath, but a cold glint flashed in the corner of his eye when he heard the last name.
"I've read what Mistress Magna Egwene, the former guardian of the Council of Tirisfar, wrote about His Majesty Alexstaza: she has the power of life and hope, and even the power of immortality (now the power of immortality) of our elves is bestowed by her, her stature is larger than the largest mountains, and her flames are terrifying than the most powerful magic......"
The last two sentences were improvised by Carlin, and then he shrugged his shoulders towards Crassus: "So Your Excellency, your joke is not funny, with the strength and wisdom of those orcs, how can it be possible to trap such a powerful being as powerful as Her Majesty the Red Dragon Queen......"
The expression on Crassus's face was very complicated, he didn't expect that this elven mage knew more information than he had imagined.
"In fact, if we can't communicate openly and honestly...... Carlin said as he took two steps back, "I can only say that I can't fully trust you, Lord Crassus......"
"I'm sorry......" Crassus lowered his head: "But it's true......"
"That artifact is called the Dragon's Soul, or the Demon's Soul...... This artifact left over from ancient times was obtained by the orcs! Crassus said in a deep voice: "I suspect that behind this, there is a shadow of the appearance of a black dragon......"
"What kind of artifact can control a guardian dragon?" Carlin continued to pretend to be stupid to the end: "This is a bit unbelievable, if such an artifact really existed, I am afraid that it would have been hidden or destroyed by the dragons long ago......"
"The Demon Soul has been cursed by us, and no dragon can touch it!" "We thought it would be okay to sit back and relax, but we ignored the ...... of other races," Crassus explained.
"Got it by the orcs?" Carlin asked rhetorically.
"Yes, the orcs used it to control Her Majesty and forced her to hatch dragon cubs and fight for the Horde...... That is, the ...... that the Alliance encountered on the battlefield before, and the ones we killed today" Crassus wiped tears from the corners of his eyes:
"In order to save Her Majesty, I once infiltrated Grimbaatar, but found that I could not resist the power of the demonic souls, and if I were not a good mage, I would probably have been controlled by the demonic souls there......"
"You're very organized!" Carlin felt that the heat was almost over, and then said calmly: "I also believe that what you said should be right, but I hope you will forgive me, the doubts in my heart have not completely disappeared, after all, the information you gave is too unbelievable!" ”
"I can understand that." Crassus nodded.
"I will take my companions to Grimbaatar to rescue Her Majesty, but there are two demands...... "Carlin said slowly:
"First, until we rescue Her Majesty, all the red dragons we encounter will be our enemies, so I don't think we should be merciful, and I hope you don't keep your hands on it!"
"Second, I want the entire operation to be led by me or Kel'thugad, after all, as you mentioned, Demon's Souls can control any dragon, including yourself...... So in the battle of Grimbaatar, I don't want to be an enemy of a powerful mage like you, in addition to the orcs......"
"It's not a harsh requirement!" Crassus pondered for a moment, then replied, "I'm convinced, Carlin, that I agree with your two suggestions. ”
"Okay, we'll leave today, and I hope you gather the people who haven't been controlled by the orcs as soon as possible and fight alongside us!" Carlin said with a smile.
Crassus smiled and nodded, but for some reason, he felt that the entire conversation had been completely controlled by the other party......
