"She is the heir to the Throne of Order, Red Dragon!" A majestic voice snapped back from behind Claudia.

"The Throne of Order?" Crassus repeated these four words in a low voice, and after turning over the relevant memories, he looked at the girl in disbelief, only to find that the girl was also looking at him.

Archmage Crassus turned out to be a red dragon? This was Claudia's first time seeing the legendary dragon, but the elf in front of her was as delicate as a woman, making it difficult for her to associate with a powerful dragon.

At this moment, the Silver Hand also left Claudia's back, and hovered between the two of them to shine, and a silver phantom appeared in front of them.

After seeing the face of the silver phantom, Crassus, who thought of the ancient records of the clan from the throne of order, was shocked, "Could it be that you are the legendary Guardian of Order, His Majesty Tyr?" No, it can't be! ”

"I'm not Tyr, but I have the memories of a Guardian and a shred of spirit. So the Red Dragon ---" The Silver Hand's originally deep voice gradually raised: "I am also qualified to ask you, you have sworn to follow the sacred covenant and do your best to protect this world, and because of this, you have gained the trust of the Guardian and the power bestowed by the Titans, so when this world is in crisis, where is Alexstasa?" Where are the other guardian dragons? Have you forgotten your duty? Why do I only see mortals defending the world! ”

Crassus had recovered from the shock, and in the face of the Silver Hand's questioning, he said bitterly, "Nesario has betrayed the other dragons, because of him, we have suffered heavy losses, and the era of protecting the dragons is over. ”

The Silverarmor Phantom said incredulously, "What, Nesario betrayed?" ”

"Yes." Crassus briefly described the current situation of the dragons, in the last war with the Burning Legion, Nesario tricked the other dragons into working together to create a powerful artifact, and used the artifact to target the other tribes, causing heavy losses to the dragons of other races, especially the blue dragon clan, which was almost wiped out, and because the artifact guardian dragons became weak, it was not until the artifact was destroyed ten years ago that it began to recover.

"I have visited other dragons before I went to Mount Hyjal, but His Majesty Malygos was disheartened and refused to intervene, His Majesty Nozdorm suddenly fell into a coma at the beginning of this year and could not be awakened, and the Green Dragon Legion in the Emerald Dream could not be contacted by all means, as for my queen Alexstrasa," a tender look appeared on Crassus's face as he said the name, "She has promised to come to my aid after I summon her, but our Red Dragon Legion suffered heavy losses in the disaster more than ten years ago, and the Queen's power has not fully recovered, Even if I summoned her, I am afraid it won't help much. ”

The scene fell silent for a while, Claudia had been listening quietly, and the silver phantom continued to ask, "Why did the wisest and most powerful of you ask Nesario?" ”

"None of us dragons know the reason for Nesario's betrayal, some of them have guessed that he is crazy, but I met him ten years ago, when he was thoughtful and rational, and the betrayal was more like a deliberate decision he made."

After Crassus replied, the scene fell silent again, and the silver-armored figure let out a disappointed sigh: "That's it, it's been 100,000 years, the creators have passed away, and the guardians have long since withered, but I didn't expect that even the guardian dragons will not be able to perform their duties now." ”

It's the first time Crassus has heard the news: "What happened to the Titans and the Guardians?" Why have the gates of Ulduar been closed for so many years? ”

"There are also betrayers among the Creator and Guardian." The silver-armored figure didn't elaborate on this question, but instead continued to ask, "Red Dragon, since the era of dragons is over, and the other dragons can't participate in the war, why are you here?" ”

"The other dragons may not come, but I must come, because I love this world, and it is my duty to protect this world!" Crassus replied without hesitation.

The Silverarmor Phantom spoke again to Crassus in front of him, this time with a hint of appreciation in his tone: "Well said, Red Dragon, that's how it should be. Also, don't summon Alexstasa unless you have to. ”

"Why?" Crassus was puzzled by the words of the Silver Armor Phantom, and Claudia also looked at the Silver Armor Phantom in confusion, the Red Dragon Queen is the legendary guardian of life, even if her strength has not recovered, she is at least a demigod, why should she give up such a powerful combat power at such a moment?

"What happened to the Guardian and the Guardian Dragon has shown that this world can no longer rely on certain beings to protect it, no matter how powerful the Guardian is, it will eventually fall one day, and the future of this world will still be in the newcomers, such as other mortals, you, and my patrons." After the silver-armored figure finished speaking, she turned to look at Claudia on the side, and in the face of the silver-armored figure who had been teaching her all this time, the girl saluted respectfully.

"I see." Crassus breathed a clear sigh of relief after hearing the words of the silver-armored figure, apparently he had been hesitating to summon the Red Dragon Queen.

"This child is my chosen heir to the Throne of Order, and I hope she can take the place of Tyr and the other Guardians in a mission that the Guardians are no longer able to fulfill, and I hope you can help her if you can." The silver-armored figure pointed his finger at Claudia, and after Crassus's gaze turned to the girl, he continued, "Also, don't mention me and her to beings outside of Alexstasa. ”

"I will, honorable inheritor." Crassus solemnly agreed.

"So be it, if you or Alexstrasza have anything else you want to know, you can reach out to her." As the voice fell, the silver-armored figure melted into the Silver Hand, and the Silver Hand flew back into Claudia's hand.

After the girl held the silver hand, she saw that Crassus was looking at herself, she didn't dare to be proud because of the identity that the silver hand said, but took the initiative to introduce herself to Crassus: "I am Paladin Claudia, and I am glad to meet you again, Venerable Red Dragon Crassus...... Archmage. ”

Facing the girl who didn't know what to call herself, Crassus had a friendly smile on her face: "Hello, Heir of Order, my real name is Claostraz, and I am the Queen's companion, but you still call me Crassus, and please keep this little secret for me." ”

"That's as it should be." The girl agreed, and was about to ask something more, but Crassus suddenly frowned and said, "Someone is approaching, and it has touched the barrier I have set!" ”

Seeing that it was no longer suitable to continue the conversation, Claudia could only say goodbye: "Then I'll take my leave today, goodbye, archmage." ”

Crassus handed her a red scale the size of his middle finger and whispered, "Crush it if you need to find me." ”

After Claudia put it away, the two walked out of the residence, only to find the bald agent they had seen before the battle at the door, and bowed to Crassus: "Hello Archmage, I am Ignacio, and Your Majesty has asked Major Seberchel to return to him now." ”

Crassus's face was visibly displeased when the conversation was interrupted, but he couldn't say anything, and nodded his head to indicate that he knew that a teleportation technique was gone.

Claudia returned to Varian's side under the guidance of the agent, and saw that Varian's face, which was in a good mood before Claudia left, was already a little difficult to look at, and Marshal Wendthall, Duke Thaon Breck and other ministers were standing beside him not far away.

It can't be because Uncle Grayson and others persuaded him to become like this, right?

Claudia guessed as she approached Varian, and then asked, "Your Majesty, I heard that you are looking for me?" ”

Varian looked around and stopped, then shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's almost time, we should go back too." ”

"I see, Your Majesty."

Towards evening, Varian began to lead the royal knights, some mages and soldiers back to the rear camp, on the way back Varian obviously looked preoccupied, but Claudia on the side absentmindedly did not notice, wearing heavy and bloodstained plate armor to fight and move all afternoon, she not only felt unwell at this time, but also hungry, sleepy and tired.

What the girl missed most was dessert and food, then the comfortable bed in Gianna's quarters, and then the hot water or a loose garment that the mage had made with his mana, and as for Varian's thoughts, she really didn't notice.

It's okay to spend another night with Her Highness Gianna, right? Anyway, Her Highness Gianna will be participating in tomorrow's meeting with the Night Elves tomorrow, so let me have a good rest.

After Claudia made a decision, she asked Varian to leave: "Your Majesty, I will go back to His Highness Gianna first, you can come to me if you have something." ”

"Okay." A preoccupied Varian replied, and when he reacted and looked up, he found that the girl had turned away.

As an archmage, Gianna, who had been teleported back directly, had already returned to her residence, and was reading a book while having dinner, and after Claudia returned and expressed her request for another night, Gianna readily agreed, and asked the Arcane Servant to bring another dinner.

After the hungry girl had eaten her supper in the shortest possible time, and then scrubbed her armor with exhaustion, Gianna noticed the busy girl after reading the book for a while and said, "I think you should have a knight's squire, so that you can save a lot of things." ”

Claudia, who was scrubbing her armor, immediately trembled when she heard this, and replied a little gloomily: "Your Highness, I am not a good master, so I will not take the initiative to ask for an attendant, so I should wait for Uncle Grayson's assignment." ”

Gianna immediately realized that she had touched some of the girl's memories, and quickly changed the subject to the daytime battle and the Night Elves, Claudia's attention was soon diverted, and after scrubbing her armor, she fell asleep again at the table.

But she didn't sleep long before she was woken up, and Gianna informed her of the news: "Varian wants you to go see him now." ”
