War of the Ancients 2(1/3)
Jaina and I were asleep just now, but Jaina woke up as soon as she received this notice. She didn't expect that there would be any movement so soon, but without further ado, she immediately woke me up and told me about it.
"Ronin said Crasus had taken action to him, and they were waiting for us, so it was time for us to go find him."
"Okay, I didn't expect it to be this time." I said reluctantly, obviously my spirit has not recovered yet, and Jaina reminded me that I must hurry up.
"If they act at this time, maybe the situation may be a bit urgent, so we'd better not let them wait that long."
"You're right, we have to hurry up." I realized what Jaina was worried about and speeded up her dressing. At the same time, I thought of the most critical thing. After all, we were not here in the past, and we could just do it at once. "Do we explain what we should go?"
"You go find Mavie. She will handle everything after we leave. I'll prepare for other things first."
"Um"
Jaina was doing a simple cleaning and preparing some simple items, and the task was handed over to me. Yes, Jaina knew that Mavi would definitely explain something, and she would better not disturb her. I also understood this very much...
After I finished dressing, I turned to Mavie. She didn't sleep, but seemed to be waiting for me. She was always repairing my armor, or blessing and repairing my armor. Yes, this armor was given to me by Sylvanas, a light and strong armor. After wearing it, I escaped many fatal injuries, and it became riddled with holes because of me. Especially after Sylvanas left, no one went to repair it again. When it came to fight against Archmond, this armor was also scrapped. Now, Sylvanas only left me this thing, and the dagger was thrown away somewhere when it was used by Nefarian. I thought this armor had turned into ashes when the tree of My World fell. Now it turned out that it was in Mavie, and now it was almost completely repaired...
"Did you keep it? It's really hard for you..."
I said heavily, obviously Mavie knew what this armor meant to me. Of course, Mavie knew not only that, but also the purpose of my coming here, and more...
"Are you going?"
"That's right," I nodded, of course I didn't expect her to be so timely in action this time. "You've been busy all night."
"Maybe longer. I started to repair it after you left Hygar. Now I am perfecting it and adding some things in. Such sneak attacks may not work. I think even my darts and knife fans may not be able to pierce it, and it can bless you when necessary. This armor is indeed spiritual, and it shows that Sylvanas is very attentive."
"Yes…"
I said heavily, really don’t know what to say. If it’s a memory, but as for the specific recollection of myself, I don’t know what’s wrong with me, but I can’t recall any details. I can only say “Thank you for your hard work.”
"Nothing, I can only do this." Mavie sighed. Perhaps this sigh contained a lot of meaning, but she didn't say anything. And I just took this into account as a narrow mind.
"I think you know I need it...so I've seen you during this time I've left."
"I know I will arrange it, but I hope that such a thing will be better for Lisa. I think Chen will go back to Phelas at this time. This is definitely a good opportunity for her. Of course, I guarantee that we will be stable here."
"I believe that your judgment and choice have always been. As for you going back to Phelas, how long will you stay?"
"I may come to pick me up when you come back," Mavie said, as I should have thought it wasn't long. "I hope we can tell me about your experience when we come back."
“No problem.”
When I said this, Mavi hugged me tightly. Maybe this is the first time I saw Mavi like this. Although she was always trying to play the role of a little woman in front of me, only this time made me really feel that he was not disguised but was pure. And I always hoped that she could do this... Maybe if I put it in other times, I would think about cherishing it...
But it doesn't work now. Luo Ning is still waiting for me. If he goes out at this time, the situation will definitely be very urgent. But at this moment, I was suddenly pressed against my abdomen by a dagger with a coat. Obviously, Mavie indirectly stated that he had defeated me again. If the dagger had no coat, I would have been hit.
I was obviously a little angry about this, although in order to increase my vigilance, the priestesses could "take action" on me when I was unaware of it. Because I didn't expect that she was still thinking about keeping me alert at this time. After all, now I still want to have such a private space with her. However, before I was angry, Mavi reminded me again, and hung the dagger around my waist and simply sorted out my outfit.
"Roning and Crasus are still waiting for you and Jaina, and Jaina is waiting for you outside the door, go quickly."
"If I encounter an accident...you take care of our children and command Lordaeron."
I felt her heavy weight, so I said half-jokingly, and responded to my statement very seriously.
"No, then you will be returned by Jaina as a deceased, and I don't care what form you are."
"Okay, I hope I can live a little longer..."
I didn't say anything, but put on armor and left the door of Mavie. At this moment, Jaina was already waiting for me at the door, and Mavie hugged each other. Yes, obviously their friendship also made them cherish each other. Of course, Jaina also understood that she was also taking Mavie's share. Especially when she handed the token of a high-level priestess to Jaina. After that, Mavie also gave Jaina a brief blessing. Obviously, she wanted to go there too, but the situation really did not allow it.
"We're leaving..."
So we left directly because the destination was near the portal, but because the portal had been interrupted, we could only reach there by magic. That is, at the other end of the portal in Kultilas.
After arriving there, the guards found that we were deeply surprised, but to my surprise, Nasa was waiting for us here. Because of the interruption of the portal, Manic felt very surprised, so just in case, a night priestess arranged to arrange for protection every time, which happened to be here. After hearing this explanation, I was not asking anything, but I doubt whether Crassus and Ronin could escape the vision of Nasa, the night elves, on the island two kilometers away.
"I think you can see where Ronin is, right?"
I asked this question curiously, as I guessed, Nasa was very clear.
"They were there, Crasus waited for half an hour to come to Ronin, and what were they waiting for there, I think it was you and Queen Jaina."
"That's right, Luo Ning and I have to do something. When Luo Ning leaves, I will leave it to you and your wife."
"We will live up to our mission."
Nasa said firmly, but Jaina seemed to have thought of a problem, because she had never heard him mention the night elves in Crasus, and she had never seen Crasus again since Jaina met the night elves, so...
"Wait, do you know that person is Crasus, Nasa?" he asked to the priestess, and to Jaina's surprise, Nasa knew exactly what Crasus looked like.
"In addition to Elune, our night elf druids also focus on faith in Isera, while our priestess prefers Alexandra, so we had an intersection before, we were still young at that time, and he always was like this, although he may not remember us..." Nasha explained so without any flaws. "Because I know he is Ronin's master, your old friend, and he did not step into the territory of Kurtiras, so I did not disturb him, and then Ronin appeared. Although they had a quarrel, I thought it would be better for us not to disturb them."
"You're right." Jaina nodded. Maybe she was thinking too much? Or was there nothing at all. She always felt that the night elves, including Mavi, were hidden, but it might be just a tendency in her heart. After all, the pressure given by Mavi's existence was still indescribable. Although she knew very well that Mavi never thought of replacing herself, and did not think of harming us, but maintained the royal family, but this time she always felt something was strange.
"Maybe we can tell me the story of the Red Dragon Queen in the future..."
At this time, Ronin and Crasus came. Obviously, Crasus was angry about my lateness and procrastination. Of course, it may also include other meanings, such as we seem to be asking about their queen's story, and he became even more angry about this sudden appearance.
"I think it's better not to say, priestess." Crasus said so. After seeing Nasha take two steps back, she did not continue to pursue it, but went straight to the subject. "We can leave now." Crasus said to me impatiently. The guards took a step forward as they looked at him disrespectful. However, Nasha was surprisingly respectful to him, and Jaina signaled everyone to put their guard down immediately.
"Of course, my old friend, Lord Crasus, let's go now." I said and prepared to turn into a dragon, but at this moment I was scolded by the dragon again.
"I don't want to open a portal that is enough for a dragon to accommodate." Crasus said angrily again, obviously not talking about himself, but about me, that is, don't act without permission, such as turning into a dragon.
"Okay, as you wish." Yes, I wanted to tell him a little bit if I haven't seen each other for a long time, but obviously he didn't feel that way, and even inexplicably hated me. Of course, I thought it was because I had delayed him for a long time. As for anything else, I really couldn't imagine it.
Crasus quickly completed the portal. Nasha wanted some soldiers to follow me, but I didn't agree, but just a few of us agreed. Of course, this does not mean that it is unnecessary for the rest of them to join this trip, but I think it is more convenient than to increase sacrifices for more people. As for the destination of the portal, I also took it for granted that it was there, the legendary vortex.
We don’t know much about the Great Whirlpool, but there are indeed many side records. Because many times the eastern continent and the western continent are not allowed to navigate, it is thanks to him, and it is very dangerous. In order to get there, we often have to sail almost twice the distance between the north and the south to avoid it to ensure the safety of navigation. This indirectly prevents the connection between our two continents, so that we did not know the existence of other races such as night elves for a long time.
However, not everyone knows about the Great Vortex. When the natural disaster was just beginning and the Burning Legion had not yet appeared, the unknown Thrall transferred the Orc Tribe and passed there. It is said that he almost gave up the entire Orc Tribe.
As for what Thrall and the others had experienced there, some intelligence said they were strange creatures and demons, but I hope it was just those things, because after all, Sargeras was buried there, and if his soul was still there, it would be no fun. And all the Shadow Councils of Gul'dan were buried there at that time, of course, this had a considerable factor in Orgrimmar. At the most critical moment, a huge orc Red Dragon Cavalry was dispatched, and if it weren't for Dailin
Waiting for the leisure to work, waiting for these red dragons to return to fight an ambush with the main force of the dwarf griffon at sea. Otherwise, if the dragon was full of energy, Kurtila might not have been as simple as Gianna's brother's explanation. And the powerful dwarf griffon knights of Kudland and Flod could not have killed several dragons by one by one, which only means that the dragons also consumed a lot of physical strength in the vortex.
Of course, now is not the time to recall the past, but just to say that I am going to explore the truth this time. Of course, I took it for granted my weapon to my hands, and behind us, Nasa was the first to step in the blessings she gave us...
So we entered inside. But when we arrived there, we found that this was not the island near the whirlpool I imagined, but the mainland. The brown land was as desolate as a desolate place, but the limestone rock formations here have not been completely weathered, and perhaps it was not as bad weather as windy and sand all day long. This shows that this area was not desolate before, and it was not too long before, and it might have been a very lush place.
"this…"
Jaina and I were both surprised because the chaos was near the Great Whirlpool and the island area, but it was a desert-like inland.
"This is Silitus, who used to be the territory of the night elves, but they fought a century of war, which they called the Battle of Quicksand, and maybe Mavie told you the details."
Crasus explained that Jaina and I looked at each other in response to this statement. Of course, not only the destination is here, not the vortex, but also Mavi has not told us about history, and I did not expect that he knew Mavi. It seems that he has been observing us all the time, and it seems that he knew Mavi. But this is a later story. I think it is necessary to ask about this, because she has never mentioned too much of her past, because Mavi has always been secretive about the past, and in order to respect her as a night elves, I did not ask too much about history that has nothing to do with her alliance and predecessors. Naturally, I did not describe the Battle of Quicksands much.
But when I talk about this, I seemed to remember something. I heard some priestess say that she used the soul of revenge when she was fighting against the tribe. This was something I had never used in the Battle of Quicksand... Maybe I should have asked at that time because I felt that Crasus was not patient to mention it to me. But it was nothing, let's talk about it later.
"I didn't say much, it seemed like an extremely tragic war."
I asked this, and at this time Crasus became passionate again, as if rebuking me for despising their efforts in that war, and for his thoughts I really knew the details of the war, but in fact I knew nothing.
"That war was devastating to the Night Elf and our dragons, not to other races... This was the night elves' camp, but now you won't see any of them. Most of the night elves are dead. They, together with some of our dragons, attracted all the Amquira people here and sealed them." Crassus said passionately, as if he cared about the loss.
"Are the bugs scary?" I said this, and there happened to be a beetle on the ground, so I picked it up and said, and imagined the spider king named Anubarak. They were indeed very powerful, but they were definitely not as strong as they paid in this way. At least for Lordaeron at his heyday, they were not a threat at all.
"When their number reaches hundreds of millions, you won't think so. They can devour everything they can devour. When you eliminate dozens of them in one breath, you will find that there are still hundreds of heads waiting to come out. Fire and flooding are hard to resist their pace of devouring. The mountains and fields are full of them, which is even more terrifying than the undead, because you just need to kill the Death Spirit Wizard. For insects, what you have to deal with will be Cthun, the master behind them. We can't kill them at all, so we must lure them to a sealed place, and such bait will be the best batch of dragons and a considerable number of night elves in our younger generation..."
Crasus said in fear that his face also turned into a bug face. Although he was a bug face, I was sure he was serious.
"Well, maybe that's what Mavie doesn't want to mention to me, I really don't know the details."
"Hmph! It seems that she still hides something from you." Crasus snorted, as if he was mocking my relationship with her. I could only protest with a stern face, but Crasus described the purpose of this next. "We came here because that incident was related to the ancient god, so he wanted us to come here to investigate, and the one on the Great Vortex might be just appearances."
"Gianna, Nozdom let us come here for this purpose. The Bronze Dragon King believes that the ancient god is related to the ancient god, and hopes we can find out what."
Luo Ning also explained, obviously his attitude was much better than that of the Red Dragon. I was just surprised by the purpose this time.
"Why didn't the Bronze Dragon King come? You also let you, an alien dragon, participate."
"He is trapped, didn't Ronin tell you?"
"My...I forgot..."
Ronning couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and compared to the reluctant and angry look just now, he had changed roles with Crasus. He has now become the target of training, rather than being trained by Crasus as he was at the beginning. This is not the point, the point is:
"What's trapped? Is it Nesario, the minion of the ancient god?"
"It won't be the guardian of the earth, it's the other person."
"Guardian of the Earth? You have never praised the Wings of Death like this. Have you been brainwashed by him?"
I became wary and suspicious of Crasus. Yes, if it were a round of hatred, maybe no one could surpass Crasus, so he wouldn't be able to do this at any point unless Crasus in front of me was a fake... I gave a look at Jaina and Ronin, but she and Ronin just shook their heads at me. Obviously they were very sure that the guy in front of me was Crasus and not someone else's disguise. But they both questioned Crasus's name as Deathwing. I hoped to get his explanation, but obviously, Crasus also knew that he should tell us something.
"In order to fulfill his mission, Nesario sealed the ancient god Cthun with his life." What Crasus could think of was this "Times have changed. I have had nearly 100,000 years of friendship with him, but everything has changed and become so fast. I didn't expect him to realize his own redemption. Although he might also be worried that the appearance of the ancient god might destroy everything, but in the end he broke free from the control of the ancient god and also took on almost all the undead and demons. Such an ending would be considered perfect for him."
"What a good news!" I was very excited to hear this news. Yes, this could not be better. This is equivalent to solving many of our problems in one go, such as black dragons, demons, undeads and... ancient gods? But compared to these, the most difficult problem is in front of us. If it weren't for the Norzdom controlled by Nesario, it would only be the more terrifying ancient god. "If the ancient gods controlled by Norzdom, how could we fight against him?"
"If we can, we will save him, if we can't, we will conduct investigations, bring my queen back intelligence, and you should know how to deal with it. This is the mission I asked you to come, and our destination is nearby." He said, instilling some magic in Ronin and Jaina, so that they could understand the destination. Because I don't know magic, I don't know what they are fiddling with.
I felt a little depressed, but this did not affect my compliance with his plan. For example, under his command, he turned into a dragon and flew where he wanted. That is, I turned into a dragon and took them to investigate nearby. If the range he said was a few hundred kilometers in this radius, the best way was to turn into a dragon.
Although I was a little reluctant, Crasus asked for it, and I really had no reason to refuse his orders. After all, in this case, I was serving them. So we patroled around, and the sky was not yet dawn so the vision was not very good. Maybe it might be better for me to bring a night elf over here, but that's it.
An hour later, we headed south according to Crasus, but on the way we found something strange, some taurens
"It's a tribe! It seems that they want their power to penetrate here."
I said a little unhappily, although we achieved peace with the tribe, this does not mean that we are an alliance, and the behavior of their infiltration here invisibly makes me feel that it is an invasion. After all, this is a neutral area, and if they occupy it, we lose the opportunity. And as far as I know, Gakisen in the south is a relatively concentrated stronghold of goblins. If they are connected together, our alliance will be trapped in the existing territory. But Crassus seemed to have misunderstood what I mean.
"If you want to provoke a war, I hope that after this matter, I will not come to help you fight with the tribe."
To be continued...
