Danas, who is in his 30s, already showing obvious signs of premature baldness, wears a crown and cheerfully opens his arms to give Saljan a hug.

"It's been a long time, Grand Duke of the Deep Shadow, Princess Onexia, welcome to Riptide Castle."

After the whole process of the Battle of Mount Hyjal gradually spread, Onexia's identity was no secret at the top of the countries.

For this black dragon princess who has lived in the mortal world for a long time and is rumored to have her own personality, many people are still wary of her.

But as long as Salian is with him, the heads of state believe that the Black Dragon Princess will not be disordered.

Onexia had no interest in politics, only nodded in response to Danas's greeting, and then consciously stepped back and stood behind Sarean's side.

Salian is actually not interested in these false and untrustworthy diplomatic etiquette, but people in the rivers and lakes, they can't help themselves, and sometimes they still need to play on the spot.

After following Danas into the Riptide Castle Palace, Saljan could clearly feel that the meaning of Danas's performance had faded a lot.

It wasn't until the end of the customary reception dinner that Danas, who came to the door on his own initiative, let Sarren see the familiar commander of the expeditionary force.

At this time, Danas did not wear the elaborate royal dress, but chose a random set of casual clothes that were convenient for movement.

He was not accompanied by any other waiter, and carried a bottle of wine from Quel'Salas in his hand.

"Old friend, have a drink?"

Salaan smiled and opened the door to the room, letting Danas in.

"Come on, it's time to get down to business."

Salaan and Onexia, who had long guessed that Danas would come, just changed their dresses and had no intention of going to bed early.

…… Besides, for them, sleep is no longer necessary.

Apparently, Sarren's visit to Stormgard was made with the goodwill of the Sun King, in order to further consolidate the overland trade routes between the two countries.

However, Danas knew Sarren's character, and such a trivial matter did not require the intervention of him, the transcendent Grand Duke of Quel'Thalas.

Obviously, the old friend had other reasons for his trip.

"I'm not going to sell it, let's make a long story short."

After taking a sip of the familiar wine, Sarian said straight to the point: "I don't know if there is a record in the history books of the Kingdom of Stormgard that this highland is sealed with a dangerous high-level earth elemental creature. ”

"Earth Elemental ......"

Danas subconsciously touched the top of his head, which was becoming smoother and more round, and muttered for a moment before revealing a sudden look.

"I remember, strictly speaking, this is the history recorded by the kingdom of Stormgard, but from the much more distant Araso Empire."

"Oh?" Sallian asked with interest, "I would like to hear about it." ”

"Don't worry, let me tidy it up first, after all, it's a dark fairy tale I read when I was a kid."

Danas looked up and remembered for a moment before continuing: "Legend has it that at the beginning of the Arathi Empire, earthquakes occurred frequently in the Arathi Heights. ”

"Emperor Soladin personally led a team out to investigate the cause, and finally found an evil princess of the earth."

"I'll skip the descriptions of those deceiving children, anyway, after a great battle, Emperor Soladin and his retinue mages successfully sealed the princess of the earth."

"Until now, there have been few earthquakes in the Arathi Heights, but stories about the Earth Princess still circulate in the kingdom of Stormgard...... In the way of a dark fairy tale that scares small children. ”

Danas spread his hands helplessly: "When I was a child, I often heard my elders talk about this. ”

"If you don't obey, the evil princess of the earth will take you into the dirt and turn you into a stone that can't speak or move."

After telling the dark fairy tale, Danas asked curiously, "Why did you suddenly mention this?" Could it be that the Lord of the Earth is going to break the seal? ”

"No, not really."

Before Danas could breathe a sigh of relief and drink to suppress his shock, Saljan suddenly took a big turn: "But I'm going to let her go." ”

"Poof!"

Danas, choked on his windpipe by the drink, patted his chest and coughed incessantly, and it took a while to even out his breathing.

"And what is this for? I believe you are not a person with no purpose. ”

Sarjan shrugged, "That's a long story, to put it simply, I need to contact her mother, the Stone Mother, Therazane, through the Earth Princess Mislare. ”

Danas didn't know much about the elemental tides, and he shook his head with a wry smile blankly: "I don't understand, but according to your style...... It must have something to do with the safety of Azeroth, right? ”

"That's right," replied sarren, "I would venture to speculate that within a year, Azeroth would usher in a period of catastrophe on a global scale due to the outbreak that the ancient god Enzos had been preparing for a long time. ”

"I'm naming this outbreak Elemental Tide."

Element...... Tide? ”

Even if you don't understand the inside story, just by this name, the well-informed Danas can guess it.

After all, when he was stationed in Draenor, he had also heard about the four elements.

"In other words, this period of frequent disasters was caused by the revolt of the elements?"

Danas frowned and asked, "Sarjan, are you sure to stop it?" Azeroth can't afford to be in turmoil of this magnitude today. ”

Salian nodded: "That's what I'm here for. ”

"The king of the water elementals, the tide hunter Neptulon, has clearly fallen to the forces of the Azeroth Guardians, and I have already arranged the interior of the wind elemental."

"If we can convince the Stone Mother Thrazan to maintain a neutral position through Mithlaire, the only only one who will take advantage of the elemental tide to pose a threat to Azeroth is the fire elemental led by the firedemon Ragnaros."

"Firedemon Ragnaros......" Danas touched his chin thoughtfully, "I've heard this name from Muradin and Dagran (Thorrison), and it is said that the Black Iron Dwarves have been enslaved by him for more than 200 years before?" ”

"Yes and no."

Saljan explained with a rather solemn expression: "The Fire Demon King who enslaved the Black Iron Dwarves is only a doppelganger of Ragnaros, and at most only thirty percent of the strength of his body. ”

"Even so, Ragnaros has been able to entrench himself in the Black Rock Mountains for more than 200 years."

"If it weren't for Nefarian, the Black Dragon Prince who sits on the upper floor of the Black Stone Tower, and he restraining each other, that guy would have walked out of the Black Stone Mountain a long time ago."

Danas asked worriedly, "As the king of the four elements, the strength of the Stone Mother Sera Zayn should not be much worse than the Ragnaros body, right?" Are you confident that you can convince her? ”

"That Earth Princess named Mithrael will definitely not have a crush on the mortal who has sealed her for more than 2,000 years, in case ......"

"Heh~"

Onexia interjected with a sneer: "Just a princess of the earth, we don't pay attention to it yet, she will know what to do." ”

Sarjan nodded in agreement, "What really worries us is not Mithrail's resentment over these more than 2,000 years of captivity, but the attitude of Therazanne herself. ”

"As the Mother of Stone, Therazanne has many children, and there is no shortage of Mithlaire, I don't think she will value Mithrael much after being isolated for many years."

"We just need her as a repeater to connect the Deep Rock Continent, giving us the opportunity to negotiate directly with Therazane."

"Okay."

This negotiation between the demigods was clearly beyond the scope of Danas's ability and understanding, and he could only stand in the shoes of a mortal king.

"According to historical records, Mislair, the princess of the earth, was sealed in a clearing in the eastern part of Dabire's farm."

"There are several thick stone pillars standing near the sealing ground, and you can recognize them at a glance as soon as you get to the place."

"If there's anything else you need help with, just ask."

Although Mithrail's seal is still very strong, the existence of this guy is a hidden danger to the kingdom of Stormgard after all.

Danas knew Sarjan, and since he had decided to release Mithlaire, he would certainly be ready to deal with her and not allow her to continue to cause trouble for Arathi after she got out of trouble.

In this case, Danas is naturally happy to see it happen, and is willing to provide help to the two of them in the best way he can.

Salian smiled and shook his head: "There is nothing particularly needed, just like Oni said, just a princess of the earth." ”

"Years ago, Valera and I killed an earth princess named Thrydes in Maladon when we were still very young, how much stronger could Mislair be?"

"Leave it to us, Danas, and I promise it won't jeopardize Stormgard's safety."
