Chapter 360: Dragonbone Wilderness (3/4, a little later in the next chapter)
Since you're going to the Frozen Throne, the closer the waypoint is, the better.
The Frozen Throne is atop Icecrown, the coldest place in the entire continent of Northrend. The Icecrown Fortress at the top of the mountains is far more magnificent and majestic than the buildings of any other country, and even easier to defend and difficult to attack than the Iron Furnace Fortress.
The problem is, no one here knows anything about Icecrown.
I don't know, I haven't been there, I can't set a spell marker, I can't teleport accurately. Coupled with the interference of the lich's chaotic psychic powers, it may accidentally burrow into the rocks or teleport deep underground.
Transmission is risky, and large transmissions should be more cautious.
With Kael'thas and Fasqi's magical attainments, they would not dare to do so in this situation.
They had no choice but to teleport to the Dragonbone Wilderness.
Why teleport to the Dragonbone Wilds?
Because the sacred place that guards the dragon: the Temple of Dragon's Sleep, is in the Dragonbone Wilderness, and the Councillor "Crassus", an ancient red dragon mage, lives in the Temple of Dragon's Sleep.
Kael'thas got in touch with Crassus through the image crystal inside the Kenrito Council, and got his help, which opened the large teleportation circle and teleported to the Temple of Dragon's Sleep.
Not the top floor of the Dragon's Sleep Temple, but below, and not inside the Dragon's Sleep Temple, but somewhere in the wasteland to the north.
The Temple of Dragon's Sleep doesn't welcome mortals, at least not yet. Even in the identity of Crassus, it is impossible to bring outsiders to the Temple of the Dragon's Sleep without authorization. It is the common holy place of the five guardian dragon legions, which hides many secrets, and also hides many precious dragon eggs, which are heavily defended.
"Uncle Crassus!"
As soon as she saw the Red Dragon Mage, Anvina emerged from the orange bow Solidar, dressed in a golden white dress, looking extremely beautiful and charming.
"Anvina, have you grown to this point? Terrific. It seems that you are right to follow Nicholas's decision. Crassus smiled, nodded at Kael'thas, and then looked at Jiang Zheng: "Nicholas, I sense that the new World Tree has been born, and I hope you will take care of it." It was a gift from the Night Elves, and a gift from Alexstasa and me. The Red Dragon will keep an eye on you, on the World Tree, and we don't want it to be a second Vodasil. ”
"Of course not, Lord Crassus. Believe me, this World Tree will heal the continent of Lordaeron, where there are no Elder Gods. Jiang Zai smiled and saluted respectfully, thanking him for handing over Anvena to himself, and also thanking him for the help he gave him in the World Tree:
Jiang Zheng figured it out, the Red Dragon Queen was able to give her the World Tree Seed, and I am afraid that Crassus's pillow wind was indispensable.
"Do you know the Elder Gods? Looks like Medivin told you a lot. Crassus nodded, then looked at Malfurion and Tyrande: "The head of the Council of Cenarion and the High Priestess of the Temple of the Moon, and ...... Illidan - I didn't expect you to be like this now - long time no see. ”
It's been a long time, almost 10,000 years.
In the War of the Ancients, they fought side by side, and then Malfurion often went into the Emerald Dream Realm to sleep, Tyrande was busy guarding the territory of the Night Elves, and Crassus spent most of his time in Northrend, and then went to the Eastern Continent, where he was close to the High Elves, but rarely traveled to Kalimdor.
Even for the immortal species, this time is too long.
Illidan's face was a little strange.
10,000 years ago, he once studied spells with Archmage Luo Ning, who traveled back in time to the past. Later, he learned that Ronin was actually a student of Crassus. So seriously, in fact, Illidan is two generations lower than Crassus.
Of course, Crassus had already become the consort of the Red Dragon Queen 10,000 years ago, and I don't know how many years he lived, I am afraid that he was much older than Illidan's grandfather.
But I'm afraid it's a bit difficult for him to admit this relationship.
So, Illidan simply turned his head to look elsewhere, out of sight.
"Master Crassus." Malfurion greeted and asked, "Will we have the pleasure of meeting Madame?" ”
Madam...... This is Malfurion's name for the Red Dragon Queen, and it has been that way for 10,000 years.
"Alexstasa is recuperating from her wounds in the Ruby Temple, she ...... I don't want to see you. ”
As the youngest and most valued spouse of the Red Dragon Queen, Crassus is naturally qualified to call her by her name directly, and his tone is full of helplessness.
Guardian dragons are high above, so they don't care about the life and death of mortals!
In fact, seriously speaking, the guardian dragons are still very dedicated, even if the orcs are like that to the Red Dragon Queen, the Red Dragon Clan still does not haunt the orcs. Otherwise, with the strength of the Red Dragon Legion, there would be no new tribe now.
The power of the guardian dragon king is still above most demigods, and the power of the red dragon queen, the orcs are not capable of resisting.
Each of the five guardian dragon legions has its own responsibilities. The Titan Guardians guide the Titan power into their bodies, and corresponding to this power is the responsibility, the responsibility to protect the world.
Only the great event that threatens the guardian dragon, and the whole of Azeroth, can the guardian dragon be dispatched. Wars between mortals, mortals settle by themselves.
"Lord Crassus, the undead have killed too many humans, dwarves, High Elves, Night Elves, and other races. The Red Dragon Queen is the Oath of Life, wielding the life authority given by the Titans, doesn't she care? Kael'thas couldn't help but ask, disrespectful in his tone.
"I'm sorry, but in our eyes, the undead are also life, another form of life." Crassus spread his hands.
In fact, it is so helpless.
The Red Dragon Queen must be more powerful than the Lich King, and she could have eliminated him at the beginning of her birth if she wanted to, but she didn't.
The Guardian Dragons do not want to have too much influence on the mortal world, and they do not want to use the authority given by the Titans to manipulate the course of this world's history, otherwise, they can only cause destruction to this world. Because the power of the guardian dragon is too strong, every king of the guardian dragon has the ability to destroy the world.
That's it.
However, Jiang Zai felt that it was probably not as simple as Crassus said.
Malygos, the Blue Dragon King, has lost his mind since the Battle of the Ancients was wiped out, and the Red Dragon Queen must have been watching over him to prevent problems from going wrong with the Nexus.
And is the Red Dragon Legion really capable of dealing with the Scourge Legion?
Just look at the occasional frost dragon in the sky.
The Lich King has resurrected a large number of Frost Dragons, probably far more than the Red Dragon Legion, plus a large number of other undead, Red Dragons...... I'm afraid I have a weak heart, right?
Why did Crassus basically not appear in Dalaran all these years, and in the end he didn't even care about the destruction of Dalaran?
It's because in fact, the Dragon Sleep Temple is also threatened by the Scourge Legion, and has to come back to guard the house!
The other dragons are even more unreliable.
The enemies of the Bronze Dragon are the Eternal Dragon and the Twilight Trial, the enemy of the Green Dragon is the Emerald Nightmare, the Black Dragon has rebelled, the King of the Blue Dragon has lost his mind, and the five guardian dragon legions, all kinds of internal problems, can't manage anything else.
After all, mortal affairs have to be solved by mortals themselves.
"The rest of the road can only be walked by yourself." Crassus looked at the frost dragons hovering in the sky, there were hundreds, and his face changed: "The Lich King's spirit is out of control, even with these frost dragons!" They're brewing a more intense attack! They are driven by the resentment of the dead against the living! Let's go, I'm going to fight! ”
Crassus transformed into a red dragon more than fifty meters long, flapping its wings and soaring into the sky.
"The size of the ancient red dragon is even bigger than Manolos, and even bigger than Akmund......" Jiang Zai sighed, and then looked at the distant icecrown glacier: "Time is pressing, let's go!" ”
