Chapter 020: Nozdorm's Sorrow
Sitting alone in front of the window, Crassus saves the hot tea in his hand. In the quiet room, the seemingly monotonous and simple decoration reveals a kind of ingenious atmosphere and solemnity. In this simple but not simple room, the Red Dragon Mage's mind drifted to the distance of nowhere.
His expression was frozen and heavy.
Knock knock!
There was a knock on the door, and before Crassus could speak, the apparently impatient young man outside the door pushed the door open.
"Teacher ......"
"I told you, Ronin, we're friends. Putting away his suppressed emotions, Crassus turned his head, and his handsome and extraordinary face showed a gentle, sunny smile.
At the door, the young man with withered red hair scratched his cheek uncomfortably: "Okay, Gram, Crassus. ”
Nodding with satisfaction, Crassus put down the teacup: "Seeing that you are in such a hurry, is there something wrong?"
Luo Ning shook his head, and then nodded uncertainly: "I heard that you rejected that training mission?"
Hearing this, the smile on Crassus's face unconsciously expanded: "You kid, the news is quite well-informed. ”
Seeing that the other party did not react to his ridicule, but showed a faint hint of secret sadness on his face, Crassus quickly understood his thoughts: "Don't be careful, it's not that I don't believe in your ability, it's just that what I need you to do is more important than this." ”
Luo Ning obviously didn't believe it, after all, for an apprentice, completing a confidential task that Kenrito highly valued meant being able to obtain better educational resources, and even be able to take a step to the sky.
Although he didn't have such a thirst for power and wealth, after all, the competition in Dalaran was very fierce, and if it was only as a low-level apprentice, what he could achieve in arcane magic would be like this.
This is not what he wants to see, and no self-motivated young man wants to do so.
"Don't worry. Crassus came to his side at some point, and under the gaze of those sky-blue eyes, Ronin felt reassured for no reason, "I can assure you that if we can solve this problem, not only Kenrito, but even the whole of Azeroth will be very grateful to you for this, even the dragon." ”
"Dragon?" Originally, Luo Ning believed in the other party at first, but as he said this arrogant and powerful race lightly, the young man suddenly became a little discouraged, "Don't be kidding." ”
Crassus smiled, and after a brief silence, made a certain decision: "Well, it's time for you to know." ”
"What......"
Luo Ning had just spoken, when he saw the Red Dragon Mage wave his hand, and the entire room continued to shake because of this, like a turbulent undercurrent under the calm water, and the churning space relentlessly oppressed Luo Ning's body and soul.
In the blink of an eye, everything changed in front of me.
Crassus was gone, and even the room he was in had turned into a vast cavern. Strangely, the cave floor is not dust, mud and stones, but a whole piece of flowing sand.
As a bad element who has been causing trouble for a long time, Luo Ning can be regarded as the most knowledgeable group of people in the younger generation, but in the face of such a situation, he is obviously panicked.
"What is this place? Crassus, where are you?"
"Where ......"
"Where ......"
In the huge and unreal cavern, Luo Ning's panicked and distant echoes added to his worries. Fortunately, this didn't last long.
Perhaps disturbed by his voice, or for some other unknown reason, the golden quicksand under his feet suddenly began to pick up speed, centering not far ahead, and quickly fled in all directions. It's like some extremely powerful and noble creature that is awakening.
In fact, it is.
Under Luo Ning's terrified gaze, the flat ground suddenly rose in a large area, and in a moment, several towering sand dunes were almost reaching the top of the cave. And as the quicksand fell, a huge figure that made Luo Ning almost suffocate gradually became clear in his eyes.
The golden scales spread all over the body, shimmering with a magical shimmer, like a towering golden colossus standing in front of you. The wings that covered the sky and the sun continued to open and close with the creature's movements, and although it was only an unconscious fan, it still set off a strong wind that made it difficult for Luo Ning to breathe.
The thick limbs are buried deep in the quicksand, but the sharp and historical claws can still be seen.
The hard dragon horns went straight up, not only setting off the hideous and terrifying face solemnly, but also as if it was about to pierce the entire cave if he was not careful.
A dragon, a golden dragon. Throughout his life, all the creatures that Luo Ning knew were just ants in front of this dragon.
The insurmountable gap and the huge sense of oppression from the soul almost made Luo Ning die violently. But soon, this feeling of being so depressed that I couldn't breathe abated.
"Roar!" the dragon suddenly raised its head, and its deafening roar was filled with countless emotions that Luo Ning couldn't understand.
Anger, unwillingness, and endless, pain? What is it that is unimaginable to make such a being hoarse?
Doubts had just come to mind, Luo Ning suddenly felt a light head, and as everything in front of him twisted and churned again, Crassus's figure finally appeared in front of him again.
"That's, what?" Rolling through his chaotic breathing, Luo Ning asked slowly, clutching his dull chest infected by the long howl.
"Guardian of Azeroth, Bronze Dragon King, Lord of Time, Nozdorm. Crassus let out a long sigh, his hands behind his back, and his low and suppressed voice made Ronin feel inexplicably frightened, "As you can see, he's in pain...... I don't know why, but I know that a storm that will destroy Azeroth is converging and that I need your help. ”
"Me?" surprise overcame fear, and Ronin looked at Crassus in disbelief, "But I'm just an unknown mage's apprentice. ”
"Be confident, Ronin. Crassus stretched out his hand and gently placed it on the other's shoulder, "You have a lot of shining points in you that are worthy of our envy." ”
Hearing that this archmage gave such a high evaluation to himself, Luo Ning couldn't help but feel a burst of heat on his cheeks while feeling immortal: "You are exalting me too much." ”
"Really?" Crassus suddenly put away his fascinated smile, and his slightly evil eyes made Ronin break down in a cold sweat, "When you burned down the library, attacked the castle at night, infiltrated the prison, and wandered around the sewers with Kenrito guards for more than ten days, why didn't you see you being so modest?"
"Ahem, luck, luck. Not daring to look directly into the other party's eyes at all, Luo Ning lowered his head and kept snorting haha.
But it is undeniable that Crassus's words obviously added a lot of confidence to him. However, after a short period of 'pride', Luo Ning suddenly stared and looked at Crassus with a suspicious expression: "The one just now, the supreme dragon king, why did he look for you?"
The latter was slightly stunned, then put his hands behind his back and showed an unfathomable smile: "You will know, soon." ”
