Chapter 029: The Emerald Dream and the Sleeping Dragon King

Cenarius, the king of the forest and a demigod of nature, actually talked to this stranger, and his words were full of respect, and even apologized to him?

What is the origin of this guy?

Of the three Night Elves who were shocked beyond measure, Malfurion was the fastest to come back to his senses. No matter who the other party is, since his respected teachers treat each other politely, he naturally can't lose his courtesy.

"Hello, Lanlos, I'm a student of Cenarius, Malfurion Furywind, and it looks like you're already acquainted with my brothers Illidan and Tyrande. ”

"Yes. Lan Luo put away his gossip heart, smiled slightly, and praised him as if he was old and serious. "Two very nice young people, I was reminded of a lot of interesting old stories. ”

"That's an honor. Malfurion nodded in agreement with his words, but somehow, seeing him in such a posture, Big Brother Fury felt uncomfortable, and always felt that he was being taken advantage of.

You don't look that big even though you have gray hair?

Faintly annoyed, but Malfurion's mind had already learned to be tolerant and peaceful in the tempering of the ways of nature. Quickly adjusting his mentality, he took the initiative to shift the topic to Fang Cai's focus: "Does the life guardian mentioned by the teacher mean the Red Dragon Queen?"

"Yes. ”

Alexstrasza was blessed by the power of the Titans to protect the life of Azeroth, which coincided with the way of nature to a certain extent, and it was not surprising that Malfurion could know the name of the Red Dragon Queen.

Therefore, Lanlos did not perfunctory or negative, and nodded directly. But his next words blocked Malfurion's desire to break the casserole and ask for the end.

"But on this matter, you can rest assured that this matter has been properly resolved, and the Life Guardians are not in any trouble, at least, not yet. ”

That's interesting. Lanlos's meaningful words made Cenarius's eyes tremble slightly, but he quickly regained his composure: "Since there is no problem, it is naturally the best ......"

"Ah, what. Hearing the King of the Forest say this, Lan Los raised his eyebrows and hurriedly spoke, "Life Guardian is fine, but I still have some problems. ”

Although he was interrupted by this rude fellow, Cenarius's cultivation was obviously different from that of other immortals or demigods who thought highly of themselves, and his face was not the slightest unhappy, but he still looked at him expectantly.

"I'd love to answer your questions, friend of the Life Keepers. ”

At this time, Alexstrasza shouldn't recognize himself, right? Forget it, whatever, Cenarius hasn't met the Red Dragon Queen for so many years anyway. Rao is swaggering and deceiving himself under the banner of the guardian of life, and he will not be exposed soon, right?

"Not friends. Faced with this heavy title, Lanlos smiled shyly, looking at how modest he was.

"But it would be great if you could help me with this. ”

As I said before, Cenarius is a demigod of nature, the king of the forest, and the flowers and trees of the entire Azeroth will respond to his call as long as he wants. If he can help find Matri's whereabouts, he will soon find out.

After listening to Lanros's brief description of his situation and his urgent need to find Archmage Metri, Cenarius did not respond immediately, but reached out and stroked the emerald green beard that drooped from his chest, and fell into deep thought.

Isn't it, big guy? You're not going to say you're going to drop the chain now, are you? What about those pretty things you just said?

Seeing this, Lanlos couldn't help but get nervous. The forces and beliefs of nature were unpredictable, chaotic and elusive, and he was unsure of Cenarius's character, and he was increasingly unsure whether the other party would be willing to help him find a trace of an Arcanist.

"Forgive me for being abrupt, but I'm curious, is such a serious arcane erosion related to the Life Guardian?" Malfurion knew that once his teacher encountered a problem, he would always be eager to solve it immediately, and he would not have any scruples about the so-called scene or atmosphere. Therefore, in order to alleviate the embarrassment caused by the sudden silence, he hurriedly opened his mouth to divert the attention of the tense Lanros.

Lan Luos, who was suddenly snubbed, softened his expression slightly, rolled his eyes, and said in a very clever wording: "Although it is not convenient for me to disclose the specific situation for the time being, it does have something to do with the dragon. ”

These words successfully regained Cenarius's attention, and the King of the Forest looked at the gray-haired elf's eyes to make sure that no trace of a lie had been found in them, and his expression became vaguely serious.

"I can help with your request. ”

Before Lanlos could breathe a sigh of relief, Cenarius' next sentence almost made him and the three Night Elves drop their jaws to the ground in surprise.

"But I've decided not to set foot in the territory of the Night Elves, and if you want to trace this Arcanist, you're on your own. Of course, I will be there to help you establish communication with the spirit of nature. ”

"Me?" Ranros pointed to himself in disbelief. What are you kidding? The evil energy and shadow in his body can be said to be the natural enemy of natural life, and the so-called communication is really not asking for trouble?

"Don't worry, you're just entering the Emerald Dream as a guest, and I'll show you the way. After that, Malfurion, you help him communicate with the spirits of nature and help him find his target's whereabouts. ”

"No problem, teacher. ”

Without waiting for Lanlos to question anything, the two masters and apprentices sang and harmonized, and immediately began to prepare. However, after listening to Cenarius's explanation and comfort, his nervousness relaxed slightly, but he still had some doubts after all.

Since Malfurion can communicate with the spirit of nature, wouldn't it be enough to just let him go on a trip to the Emerald Dream?

Flowers and plants are growing wildly, and vines are rising from the ground, interweaving and circling with the verdant vegetation, and soon a ring gate full of natural atmosphere is built in front of it. As Cenarius raised his hands high, the breeze slowly came and became more and more violent, and the emerald green natural energy quickly gathered around it.

Soon, the emerald green vortex subsided in the ring gate, like a rippling lake, vaguely reflecting the opposite view, although it was not clear to see, but the rich natural fragrance and the refreshing breath of life rushed to the face.

"Follow me, young elf. In the blink of an eye, such a tall portal rose, and Cenarius did not stop, but raised his feet and walked forward, "You are not a druid, it is better not to stay in the Emerald Dream for too long." ”

Emerald dreams?

Looking at the edge of the circular intertwined with flowers and vines, and the ripple-like teleportation channel, the inexplicable familiarity made Lan Los feel nervous. But Cenarius didn't give him room to hesitate, feeling the flowers and plants under his feet faintly urging him forward, and Lanros, who was anxious to find out about Metri's whereabouts, could only hide the strange feeling of unknown origin and follow closely.

————————

The Emerald Dream, also known as the Dream of All Things, is a vast, kaleidoscopic world of spiritual and natural magic that exists beyond the boundaries of the physical world, not perceived by mortals in the real world, or even affected by real time and space.

True to the name of this magical realm, this verdant realm basically shows what Azeroth would have been without the intervention of intelligent beings. At the same time, theoretically, all creatures in Azeroth can visit the Emerald Dream in the form of dreams.

Of course, druids who are familiar with the forces of nature and this plane can also temporarily change this rule through more direct methods. Just as Cenarius opened the portal of the Emerald Dream and brought Lanlos directly in.

But eventually, this change and influence will quickly be sidelined. With the exception of the Titans, no creature can permanently alter or affect the structure of the dream, not even the current ruler of the Emerald Dream, the Green Dragon Queen Ysera.

Somewhere in the verdant world, wrapped in a light green mist like a young bud, a large, ancient body is sleeping peacefully in tranquility and nature. She had been like this for countless years, connecting her dreams to this plane.

She is not the controller of the Emerald Dream, and even, to some extent, it is the Emerald Dream that controls her. She uses this plane as his unwavering guide, controlling the ebb and flow of nature and the evolution of all things.

Today, however, a familiar breath interrupted her slumber.

The dragon slowly opened its eyes, its emerald green eyes glowing with a blue glow as vast and forgiving as the sky under the rich magic power.

"Sorry to disturb your slumber, Ysera. "What appeared in the dragon's sight was a half-human, half-deer figure.

Although the Sleeper had only only arisen from her slumber, she still remembered this figure vividly, her adopted son, Cenarius.

"I felt my sister's strength. Ysera slowly straightened her neck and wings, stretching her dragon-like waist, but after driving away the foggy feeling caused by years of sleep, she suddenly found that the familiar aura disappeared again, "Is it a delusion?"

"Nope. Cenarius shook his head slowly, raised his gaze, and looked up at Isera's noble and ancient emerald green body, his expression faintly solemn, "I brought a mortal with me. ”

Hearing this, Ysera's soft voice, like a gentle breeze, suddenly became serious: "Mortal?"

Facing the green dragon queen's majestic eyes like a mountain and a tsunami, Cenarius was not nervous or hesitant, nodded slightly, and rightfully mentioned the gray-haired elf who walked with him.

Nature is disorderly, but at the same time it implies certain laws and laws. Birth, old age, sickness and death, fallen leaves return to the roots, mountain rain is coming, the wind is full of buildings, monsoons, ocean currents...... Everything in nature is free, but it is also free on the basis of promoting life and circulation.

But on the gray-haired elf, there is no chaos in the rules, it is impossible to distinguish between truth and falsehood, good and evil, soul and body, contradictory but coexisting as one.

Such an unpredictable person is involved with the guardian of life, and Cenarius can't rest assured. To do this, he had to find a way to find peace.

He was born in the Emerald Dream Realm, and Ysera was the ruler of this strange plane and his adoptive mother, and she was worthy of his trust.
