In the west setting of the sun in the world of Azeroth, before dusk, little Anne, the well-slept otaku mage, finally washed up under the service of the maids, and then came to the main hall sleepily and sat down on her queen's throne.

Now, the setting sun of the world of Azeroth, the warm sun, was slanting in through the gates of the Queen's palace, just right on the pedestal of her throne. It's great for Anne to be able to see this soft light when she gets up, and it's a testament to the fact that she's not getting up too late.

Anne was pleased with the timing of the meal, having just ordered the kitchen to bring her food to the table. She was going to eat her lunch and dinner together, and as for breakfast...... Well, what breakfast, what the hell is that? Little Anne said that in her current daily life, the term breakfast does not exist, and it is estimated that it is further away than the Valoran world......

"Your Majesty, is it time for you to summon the visiting mysterious mage? He's been waiting for you all day...... And it seems like there's another person who wants to see you. ”

After seeing that Her Majesty had already begun to eat, the maid Lana stepped forward to serve for a while, and quickly asked a question in time. The old mage in the black robe, the one who claimed to be the prophet, had been waiting all day, and looked strangely pitiful, so Lana decided to show kindness to him and help him remind him of this in the presence of Her Majesty.

"Woo... What whin... Mage? There's this... things? ”

Munching on her food, Anne turned her head to look at Lana in confusion, she had completely forgotten about the visit of a mage prophet to her Fire Kingdom when she woke up!

“……”

The corners of Lana's mouth twitched, she had already guessed that it would be like this! Her Majesty Queen Anne is lazy and never wants to take care of things, and she has long thought about it. As long as it's not something you're interested in, don't think about leaving a place in Her Majesty's heart!

"That's right, this morning, there was a powerful black-robed mage who said that there was a matter of life and death in the world of Azeroth, and he wanted to discuss it with you personally. You asked Uncle John to meet him, but ...... She doesn't seem to want to talk to Uncle John, so she's been waiting for you until now. ”

While serving her own Majesty the Queen's meal, Lana explained patiently and quietly. She didn't dare to slack off in the slightest about this matter, after all, what the other party wanted to say was a matter of life and death in the world of Azeroth!

"Oh...... There is such a thing...... Then you go and call them in. ”

Can you wait a whole day? Such a patient old mage, of course she is interested in meeting her! If it were Anne herself, if she wanted to meet someone, let alone wait for a day, it would only take two minutes, and if she couldn't wait, she would probably turn around and leave!

As for those things about the life and death of the world of Azeroth, little Anne didn't want to ask, what did it matter to her? It sounded boring, but if it weren't for the fact that the other party had been waiting for a whole day, maybe Anne wouldn't have seen him.

"Yes, my majesty!"

Finally hearing permission from Her Majesty, Lana quickly stood up and walked briskly outside the main hall, she needed to inform the commander of the guards to send some men into the palace to act as guards, and then, casually, let him send someone to summon the two strange people who were still hanging out in the human camp.

……

When Anne had just woken up and started to eat, in the camp of human refugees in the distance, two mages, one tall and one short, one black and one white, were chatting about rambling topics while patiently wandering around.

"By the way, Lord Chromie, can I take the liberty of asking if there are any greater threats to Azeroth now?"

For this, Medivan is more concerned. Because, as far as he knew, it was only a conspiracy about the Burning Legion's invasion, including the Scourge of the Dead and the Lich King. But as for the rest, then he doesn't know very well, after all, he really is not a prophet.

"Threats? There's nothing left, right...... There are only a few that come and go, and the most recent one, apart from the Burning Legion and Akmund, is none other than the Qira Worm in the south of Kalimdor and the ancient god Cthun! Merely...... It is estimated that it will be a few years before there will be any movement, and now, it is the battle of Mount Hyjal that is the most urgent matter! ”

Chromie thought about it seriously, if the Burning Legion's conspiracy was successfully crushed this time, then the only ones left would be those ancient gods Cthun and Yogsaron who had never given up on corrupting the world of Azeroth......

That's right! And Deathwing! This Black Dragon King, in a few years, should be swept out of the Earth Elemental Plane, he will not only tear the earth apart, causing major natural disasters, but also want to launch his world-destroying conspiracy! However, this matter is not in a hurry, I think there should be several years of preparation, and now, he is still making armor and licking wounds underground, right?

"Those old gods...... This is indeed another trouble! ”

Hearing this, Medivan nodded in agreement. He also knows a lot about the ancient gods, they were locked up by the Titans in ancient times, right? And now, finally out of trouble? This is really a disaster, presumably, after defeating the Burning Legion, they are going to come out to make trouble again......

"Wang! Woof! Woof! ”

As Medivan heard Chromie's words and pondered, suddenly, a lava dog ran up to the two of them, barked at them a few times, and then wagged its flaming tail and turned away.

"Uh... ...... is it? ”

Medivan was a little baffled by the dog's behavior, and he had no idea what it meant to both of them.

"Oh, it just said, the queen of their fire elementals, now...... It seemed like it was already available to meet us, and it told us to follow it......"

The bronze dragon Chromie was more knowledgeable, and since she was a large animal, she quickly understood the meaning of the lava dog's barking. So, she motioned for Medivan to hurry up and follow, and the dog would lead the two of them into the palace to meet their Fire Elemental Queen.

“……”

Medivin sighed slightly, and looked helplessly at the stupid dog who was shaking his head and tail in front of him to lead the way......

He doesn't know what to say anymore, in Medivan's opinion, your Flame Kingdom sent a talking fire demon or other human to inform him that he would die? Now, just send such a stupid dog?

If it weren't for the bronze dragon Chromie here, who the hell would know what it meant by barking? No matter how erudite he was in Mediwen, no matter how much Chinese he could speak, and even a little dragon language, he never thought of learning the dog-headed language of Rauschzi! Besides, who knows if the kobolds' language is in the same language family as these lava dogs?

……

"Wow~! It's you again? Tell me, are you trying to cheat me again? Let me warn you, it's absolutely impossible! That's my baby, and I'll never give it to you! Don't even think about it! I can't even think about it! ”

As soon as she looked up and saw two people coming in, and one of them was the bronze dragon Cromie she was very familiar with, little Anne immediately screamed, and while she spoke, her other hand quickly protected her pocket, for fear that this little man would attack his own gem idea again.

She had just used the Time Stone to defeat the Great Demon Akmund yesterday, but now, the bronze dragon had come running again! It must have been the idea of beating her baby, right? Little Anne is already thinking about it, should she call the guards to blast the two of them out now?

“……”

Seeing the reaction of this little girl and this flame queen, Medivan, who had not had time to speak when she came in together, lowered her head to the bronze dragon Chromie beside her with the corners of her mouth twitching slightly. It turns out that the two of them are already acquaintances...... However, this is this kind of tense atmosphere, he is really a little worried, will he be affected? Will you be able to achieve your goals this time?

"Hey... Don't worry, I won't ask you for that time gem again....."

Chromie rolled her eyes helplessly, why was this little girl so sure that she must be trying to trick her into the gem? When did you cheat on her again? Last time, I just wanted to use that gem to solve those alien time powers! And now, even if the other party really sends time gems to himself, it is useless......

"Didn't you come to trick me into gems? Are you sure? ”

Anne was still holding her pocket with one hand, frowning cutely, and scanning the little man in front of her with suspicious eyes, little Anne was very skeptical, this little villain should have said this on purpose, and then, while she was not paying attention, came to rob it, right?

"You can rest assured...... Not only will I not rob you of the Time Gem again, but I will also teach you how to use the Gem to unleash the power of time in you! ”

When Chromie was chatting with Medivan today, she thought about some things in the future, and maybe she would have to ask this little girl and her Flame Kingdom for help, so she said it now: she intends to teach the other party how to control and eliminate the power of time, of course, this is a paid exchange!

"You really have a conspiracy! I don't believe you're so kind! Tell me, what exactly do you want to do? ”

Hearing this, Anne looked disdainful. I don't know her very well, and now that the other party has nothing to do, this little man must have some ulterior conspiracy! So, do you want to pretend to be fooled and get your hands on the other party's method of controlling time first?

"I don't have any conspiracy!"

Chromie retorted loudly, why is this little girl so bad-hearted? At most, I came here to make a little mutually beneficial exchange with her, and use my knowledge about time to make a promise to her! Where is the conspiracy again? Does her dignified bronze dragon Chromie really look so much like a liar in the eyes of this little girl?

"Right now, I can give you a way to control time and eliminate the effects of time! But you have to make a promise to me that you must come to my aid when I need your help and your kingdom of flames! ”

After the battle of Mount Hyjal is over, Chromie plans to give all the tribes another three or two years to recuperate, and then, he will unite all forces and directly launch a campaign against the Angela Worms, try to gain the initiative as much as possible, and then directly attack the Angela Temple, and strive to defeat and seal the ancient god Kthun again in one fell swoop! Save it and come out again in the world of Azeroth, making it wind and rain!

It might be difficult to kill Cthun completely, something that even the Titans didn't dare to do, and Kromie didn't have much hope. However, it is still very possible to seal it for 8,000 years after it has been severely damaged!

At that time, maybe they will need the help of this little girl's Fire Kingdom, after all, they are quite powerful in fighting these fire elements! Therefore, it is still very cost-effective to give the other party a little time of knowledge in exchange for help in the future when attacking the worms.

"Huh? Would you really be so kind? But I always felt that something was wrong...... Well, good ......"

Anne was about to come down, but was directly interrupted by her bear Tibbs. Tiebs had just reminded her privately that it was okay to promise a knowledge exchange, but the number of times she needed to help had to be set, otherwise, wouldn't it be a big loss if the little man came to her every day to ask for help?

"That's right! I almost forgot, it's no problem to help you, but, I'll help you at most...... Well...... Three times! Couldn't have been more! And it has to be something I can do to help! ”

Little Anne just wanted to stretch out a slap, but after thinking about it, she withdrew two more fingers, signaling that she could only help the other party three times at most, and only within her ability! In this case, it is not too much of a loss to exchange this for the other party's application of time!

"Three times is three times! So, we're done! ”

Being able to get the other party to promise to help him three times is, in Chromie's opinion, more than enough! With the help of this demigod and her Flame Legion, there should be no problem for me to deal with Cthun and deal with the threat of those bugs, right?

Now that the two sides have reached an agreement, Chromie is not afraid of little Annie's tricks, and soon takes out a yellow gem that she has prepared, which contains some basic uses for the other party's time gem.

In addition to being able to allow the other party to eliminate the power of time on her body with this, there are also some small methods about the application of time, such as the time stealth technique she used before, which are relatively simple things, and she doesn't dare to give more than that! Chromie is really afraid that after this little girl knows too much, she will use her time artifact to go out and stir up trouble all day long! This timeline can't stand up to any more tossing and turning of her.

"Excellent! So, now that the deal is struck, and if you don't have anything to do, you can go now! Don't bother me for dinner again! ”

After putting away the gem that stored the knowledge of time with her greasy little hands, Anne did not mind and began to give the order to evict the guests. She had never thought of inviting and staying for dinner or something. In Anne's mind, if they wanted to eat, wouldn't they have gone to find something to eat themselves? She wouldn't be kind enough to keep them and let them grab something to eat from her!

"Ahem! Her Majesty the Honourable Queen......"

As soon as she heard that this little girl was going to drive people away, the big god Madwin immediately became anxious! Chromie's business is finished, but he hasn't had time to say a word, he's the protagonist who came here this time, okay? That bronze dragon, she's just by the way!

"Huh? Is there anything else you have to do? Then hurry up! ”

Grabbing a large piece of salt and pepper lynx leg in both hands, Anne, who was just about to open her mouth to bite, had to stop her mouth after staring at the black-robed mage, and began to ask the other party strangely.

"Dear Her Majesty the Queen of Flames, I am a prophet and I have seen some fragments of the future...... Now, a great crisis is descending on the beautiful world of Azeroth......"

At last it was Medivan's turn, and he couldn't wait to begin his flickering eloquence and his usual opening dialogue, both to make it easier to reveal his own unique identity, and second, to make things more serious, so that the little girl could pay full attention to what he was going to say next.

"Stop! Don't say anything more about prophets or anything! I've never believed in deceptive prophetic spells! I only believe in my fireballs! ”

After saying that, while contemptuous of the other party, Anne also used a small burning fireball on her little hand. In Annie's opinion, there must be something wrong with this old man's brain, a prophet or something, to deceive those fools who don't know anything about advanced spells, who is she, Anne? She's a demigod-level mage, what kind of book haven't you read? What kind of spells haven't been touched?

Also prophet? Who is this trying to deceive? The bronze dragon next to him, who is said to be able to travel through time to see the past and the future, even this Chromie doesn't dare to pretend to be a prophet in front of her!

"If you have something to say, speak quickly, speak human words! Otherwise, I'll let the fire demon drive you away!" ”

Anne motioned to them, and the rows of tall fire demon royal guards who were standing on both sides of the palace hall would immediately grab their knives and blast them both out as soon as she gave the order.

"Ahem...... Well, actually, I'm an Astral Mage now, you can call me Medivan! ”

Medivan also remembered that this little girl was not only a powerful demigod, but also drove away the powerful Akmund yesterday, and her own set of statements, in front of the other party, seemed to really not be on the table...... So, just jump right in!

"That's right, Akmund the Polluter, and the Burning Legion he summoned, at the latest... At the beginning of spring next year, an attack will be launched on the western continent of Kalimdor, and the strength of Akmund must be something you should know, and the Burning Legion under his command is also equally powerful, and it is by no means something that a certain race or a certain country can resist! ”

"They intend to conquer the continent of Kalimdor first, and then destroy the whole world! This is a matter of life and death for the entire planet of Azeroth, so ...... I hope that you and your Flame Kingdom will do your part to defend against the Burning Legion and protect the world of Azeroth! ”

In fact, to put it bluntly, Medivan came here to find reinforcements.

Although he also knew that in the future he saw, the Battle of Mount Hyjal would definitely be won! But it's always good to have more insurance and more troops, right? What's more, how powerful this little girl is, she still has the experience of scolding Akmund head-on, and it should always be right to fool her into going to Mount Hyjal!

"It's really not going to work! Non-negotiable! ”

Without thinking about it, Anne directly rejected the other party's request.

If it was something else, maybe little Anne would have thought about it for a while, but on this matter, there was definitely no need to think about it! It's not that she's scared of Akmund, anyway...... Everything else is easy to say, but this one can't do it!

"This ...... Why is that? Don't you want to do your part for the creatures of the world of Azeroth? Don't you want to defeat that big demon? Do you just want to sit back and watch the world of Azeroth be destroyed? Or are you afraid of that Akmund? ”

As soon as she opened her mouth, she was rejected so simply by this little girl, and Medivan was a little uneasy. In a hurry, he even used the radical method.

He couldn't figure out why his proposal was rejected so simply. After all, this Flame Queen had already fought with Akmund, and now that someone was helping her deal with that big demon, why didn't she agree?

"I wanted to burn that great demon more than anyone else, and I was never afraid of him! Just ......"

Anne raised her eyelids and glanced at the black-robed mage, she didn't want to worry about doing her best for the world of Azeroth! But if anyone is willing to join her in dealing with that big demon, she will definitely welcome it with both hands and feet!

Yesterday, that Akmund had killed her once in a time loop, so how could she not hold a grudge? The first name in her little book was Akmund! If it weren't for the fact that she really couldn't beat the other party, she would have burned that Akmund with fire a long time ago!

"Because...... I have made a pact with him that for three years he will not be allowed to come and beat me, and I will ...... You are not allowed to fight him, including my army and his Burning Legion! ”

That's why Anne refused directly without thinking about it, and when the contract was set, she still had a fart! The end of breaking the contract is very miserable, even that big demon, isn't he honestly nesting on the side of Lordaeron King City now? As powerful as him, he didn't dare to casually tear up the magic contract made by the two of them!

“……”

"What if...... If you can't go, can you support some powerful Fire Elemental Legions? ”

Medivin still wants to try to win a little more troops, and it is best to give him thirty or fifty thousand fire elements or something, then the battle of Mount Hyjal will be relatively easy.

"Not really...... Although I would love to beat that Akmund and show him why the flowers are so red! But, after all, there is a contract......"

Anne bit her finger and thought about the content of the contract seriously, and finally shook her head and refused under Medivan's disappointed eyes, this kind of thing, above the contract, is clearly written to be forbidden!

"That's ......"

There is such a thing...... In this way, perhaps, they will not be able to get the help of the Fire Kingdom in the Battle of Mount Hyjal, right? This is really a pity, before he came, he had great hopes, but he didn't expect that now it is such an ending......

"If that's the case, it's a real pity...... Sorry, Her Majesty, for bothering you......"

Frustrated, Medivan didn't plan to stay here any longer. He was going to return to Kalimdor at once, and urge the various tribes there to form an alliance, just in case.

The bronze dragon Chromie also shrugged her shoulders helplessly at Medivan, she really couldn't help this matter now, so she could only comfort him with her eyes. In Chromie's opinion, the Battle of Mount Hyjal would definitely be won anyway, which is why the Bronze Dragon Legion did not want to participate.

"Hey! Wait! Looks like there's a way to do it......"

Suddenly, Anne thought of a good way not to break the contract! Therefore, she hurriedly shouted to stop the two people who looked depressed and had turned around and were about to leave.

"Let me think about it...... In my Firelands, there is an ancient lava giant called Lord Leolis, who is very slick and neutral, and he is not really my men...... Well, there's no need for that, but the important thing is: it's a stone man who's very good at pinching all kinds of fire elements! ”

At this, Anne paused slightly, and looked at Chromie and Medivan with her sly eyes, who were still unknown.

"It is said that where my Fire Land is now, those shoddy fire elements that have been pinched out by it are about to overflow! That's at least a million or more, right? Or millions? I don't even know about that! ”

"Before, Shane Knox had been troubled by this...... Anyway, we in the Flame Kingdom don't want to summon them to Azeroth, they are of no use at all except for their large numbers and waste of energy...... But if someone else summons them, that's none of our business! ”

"And, I still remember, where is the largest flame portal in the middle of this Flame Canyon right now, there is a Fire Demon Elder who likes to wear golden armor. It knew how to summon the sheer number of crude fire elementals, if ...... If you bring him something delicious and delicious, it will tell you how to summon him! Anyway, those shoddy fire elements, strictly speaking, don't actually belong to my flame kingdom! ”

Anne nodded in satisfaction, pretending to be a memory, as if talking about something small that had nothing to do with her.

This is a good way for little Anne to block Akmund and the Burning Legion, Kalim or something, she really can't go, and she doesn't dare to let those fire elemental armies under her Flame Kingdom go!

However, if someone else summoned those neutral fire elementals to help them fight, after those wild fire elementals were summoned to the world of Azeroth, they would definitely help the owner who summoned them to fight, this is common sense! Right?

Though...... The number they summon may be a little bit more, whether they will summon tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands in the end, it depends on whether the brains of those summoners are inflexible and whether they have enough portals! But anyway, what does this have to do with little Annie? Don't...... She still doesn't allow others to summon neutral fire elementals? Even if it's a magic contract, it can't handle such a wide one!

So, this matter was so happily decided! Those flood fire elements, whoever likes to summon them will summon them, and this is none of the business of Little Annie! But don't rely on yourself! Anyway, she said that she wouldn't admit anything! Even if the big demon took out the contract and compared them one by one, she wouldn't be intimidated!

"......" - Chromie.

“！！！” - Medivan.

Ding Ding Ding! At this moment, Medivan and Chromie heard some strange sound as if hallucinating......

Anne of the Flame Kingdom? Her Majesty Queen Hasta, you have been given a Legendary Mission: The Flood of Crude Fire Elementals!

Mission Description:

The Land of Flames was originally a molten field forged by the Titans to imprison Ragnaros and his group of lawless fire elementals. However, it has now become the private domain of Queen Anne.

Now, after the Fire Lands changed hands, all but Lord Leollis, the stubbornly slippery ancient lava giant, all other fire elemental beings were either dead or had sworn allegiance to their new Fire Queen.

Recently, the Grand Governor of Shane Knox of the Flame Kingdom had complained to their Queen Anne many times about the time: that Lord Reolis had been working the crude fire elementals without knowing what the hell was going on.

In this regard, the Grand Administrator of Shannox has always been very distressed, although it has long been willing to summon those fire elements and slowly consume them, but due to the serious lack of energy available for summoning, it has to put the matter on hold indefinitely......

Now, mighty warriors, will you solve problems for Her Majesty Queen Anne, for the Kingdom of Fire, and for Grand Administrator Shannox? Then, as long as you complete this quest, you can get the method of summoning the crude fire elemental without an upper limit!

In the mountains around the current Flame Canyon, it has become a paradise for wild animals because the undead natural disasters have been eliminated by the fire elemental. So, all you need to do now is grab a boar or elk or elk, or some other large wild animal, roast it, and send it to the largest portal in the Flame Canyon. Where, there is an elder who likes to wear golden armor, and he is very easy to recognize!

When the time comes, all you need to do is give it the baked food, and it will surely teach you how to make a portal that summons the crude fire elemental! Look, isn't that a great value?

(Note: If you don't know how to cook, you can consult the aunts in the human refugee camp, and they will help you cook for free, at most, after the baking, they will take the hind legs of your two animals in return...... ）

Quest Flow: Hunt one or two large wild animals near the Flame Canyon, and after they are baked, send them to the largest flame portal and give them to the Fire Demon Elder in golden armor.

Reward: A copy of the crafting blueprint of the Shoddy Fire Elemental Infinite Summoning Gate.

(Note: You can summon as much energy as you have!) These poor fire elementals are disposable consumables, as the world of Azeroth does not have enough fire energy to supply them, so when they are summoned to the world of Azeroth for a period of time, they will fall apart due to lack of energy, and you don't have to worry about the follow-up problems. ）

This quest is personally issued by Her Majesty Queen Anne of the Fire Kingdom! Orange Quality! Duplicate claims are not allowed! Expired and void!

……

"Ahem...... Chromie, we don't seem to have eaten today, do we? Or, let's catch a few wild boars? ”

Medivan suddenly thought of something important, neither he nor Chromie the Bronze Dragon seemed to remember to have lunch today! So, it doesn't seem too late to get something to eat now?

“……”

————

The Archsteward of the Flame Kingdom of Shannox solemnly declares to the nations of the world and the forces of Azeroth:

As for the shoddy fire elementals summoned from the Battle of Mount Hyjal, they have nothing to do with our Fire Kingdom! We refuse to admit that these crude fire elementals are the people of our Fire Kingdom!

Because, the Lord of Leolis, he has never sworn allegiance to our Queen!

Therefore, now, whether they are humans or night elves, or orcs or whatever, these neutral monsters they have summoned themselves, no one, especially those demons of the Burning Legion, can never accuse us of the Flame Kingdom, let alone slander our Queen Majesty for violating the spirit of the contract!

According to the Azeroth World International Treaty, any country that summons neutral monsters to participate in war, and the area where neutral monsters live is not responsible for this!

- Twenty years of the Dark Gate of Azeroth, winter.
