"Most of those who claim to be great are because they are small. Those who long for immortality don't understand the troubles of eternity. If your king only needs to rely on this level of power, then it won't live for long."
"Master Mario, even you cannot insult the great Terok. The King of Claws is the first glory and the final salvation of the arakkoa."
"Okay, I apologize."
In a cave dug by an ogre, Mario and Ashkandi were talking in front of a simple large wooden box.
Just like magisters and magic apprentices are called mages, ogres are also divided into three, six or nine levels. The strongest ogres can slay dragons with their bare hands, while weak ogres will become food for wild beasts. However, the ogres whose blood has not yet been drained in this cave are obviously not weak. With huge bodies, thick armor, and high-quality weapons, if these ogres line up in a queue, they will be deadly messengers who bring killings on the battlefield. However, these powerful ogres, who were like killing weapons, had their throats cut open and bled to death without exception.
Under the pressure of the Blue Dragon King, the ogres' keen animal instincts killed them. As far as the old human man with the pseudonym Mario could see, the ogre naturally cowered and had no fighting spirit. There was only one thing the arakkoa needed to do - cut its throat.
Flawless coordination, Mario stared at whoever was stupid, Ashkandi cut whoever fell to the ground. After clearing out nearly a hundred ogres in the entire cave, the two humanoid creatures, one old and one young, had plenty of time to look through their trophies.
In fact, it didn't take much time. The guardian of magic and mystery felt the call of the "Focusing Iris" almost instinctively.
"Let me see, what is this? An energy rectifier? Unknown material, familiar craftsmanship, your claw king turns out to be not only a powerful warrior, but also a mage and a scientist?"
Mario said to the arakkoa with an interested look on his face.
"I have no way of knowing Lord Terok's power, but this is exactly the Focusing Iris I am looking for. Thank you for your help, Lord Mario."
"Um……"
The King of Blue Dragons had a good impression of the arakkoa Ashkandi, so he gave the advice at the beginning of the article, but it aroused the arakkoa's anger and caused the arakkoa to approach under the powerful natural charm spell. Out of anger under the brainwashing-like favorability bonus, Mario apologized without sincerity, and the arakkoa readily accepted it.
[Hey, short-lived species never understand that worship is the emotion furthest from understanding. 】
The Blue Dragon King was thinking silently in his heart, but without any expression on his face, he asked calmly: "How are you going to bring this big guy back to your original world? Its magic power fluctuations are so obvious, can I It's been detected that others can do it too. And it's a bit too big for your size, so I'm afraid you won't be able to fly with it."
"Yes, it is not a wise decision to return directly with the Focusing Iris. The king of humans still owes me a promise. Since Master Mario has helped me find the Focusing Iris, just ask those humans to help me transport it back. ”
Ashkandi said casually.
"Oh?! You trust humans?"
Mario asked in surprise.
"Well, the human king is a qualified warrior. He has fought with me, so he understands how terrible my revenge will be after breaking the contract."
Ashkandi's words unconsciously revealed pride and pride.
"That's right. Then you should also tell me clearly how terrible my revenge will be after breaking the contract, right?"
"Master Mario, you don't have to hit me. Ashkandi must repay kindness and revenge."
"Yes, that's good. But what are you going to do with this thing now?"
"If possible, I would like to ask Mr. Mario for help. I will find a suitable place. I hope Mr. Mario can help me suppress the magic fluctuations of the Focusing Iris. I want to hide the Focusing Iris first and wait. After repaying and asking for all the kindness, take it away."
Ashkandi had obviously thought about the solution in advance, and the plan he stated was clear and logical.
"No problem, it's easy."
The Blue Dragon King nodded in agreement.
"Then please wait here, Master Mario. I will be back soon."
"Um."
Ashkandi is a typical man of action, leaving and doing whatever he says, leaving Mario to guard the Focusing Iris in the cave while he goes out alone to find a suitable place to hide the Focusing Iris.
An old human who goes by the pseudonym Mario, the King of Blue Dragons is actually not a pretentious dragon. Malygos also calmly dealt with the days when he had not cleaned his scales for two years after a series of battles. Ignoring the environment like a slaughterhouse, Malygos sat down on the big box containing the Focusing Iris, not caring whether the Focusing Iris that was more important than life in Ashcandi's heart would be destroyed by him.
Because the real Focusing Iris has long been placed in the Eye of Eternity, in its own lair. And it is precisely because of the Focusing Iris, an artifact from the planet Draenor, that Malygos, who watches over the core of Azeroth's arcane energy node, temporarily leaves his lair in Northrend to take a short break. time to deal with some "chores".
Since the explosion of the Well of Eternity, the entire planetary energy network of Azeroth has become chaotic and fragmented. In the battle against the Burning Legion, as the guardians and organizers of magic, the Blue Dragon Legion suffered a fatal betrayal from its former comrades, the Black Dragon Legion, and even all of Malygos' spouses and children were killed by Nessari Austria was completely slaughtered, and if the Red Dragon Legion led by Alexstrasza hadn't rescued a batch of dragon eggs, the Blue Dragon King would have been alone.
For ten thousand years, Malygos, while fulfilling his duties as the guardian of magic and mysteries, carefully protected the reborn Blue Dragonflight, almost never leaving the Eye of Eternity on the island of Kaudala. On the one hand, it is impossible, because there are not enough manpower to maintain the stability of the energy network, and there are almost zero blue dragons under Malygos who can take charge of themselves; on the other hand, it is unwilling, because these new children are the last of Malygos. Vision, the last tenderness of the Blue Dragon King.
However, everything changed when the bronze dragon Chromie visited the Blue Dragon Legion carrying a large box.
Malygos could still recall every detail of the meeting at that time. Chromie, who remained in the dwarf form, carried a bronze box that was as big as her twice and pretended to be struggling, saying that she had found it. He found Titan's relics, which might be useful to him. As an Aspect Dragon that had been transformed by a Titan, Malygos understood its efficacy and function just by touching the Focusing Iris.
"Chromie, what do you want from me? Explain your purpose."
The King of Blue Dragons knew very well that the group of bronze dragons were typical of those who would not visit the Three Treasures Palace for any reason, and Chromie would not give him anything for no reason.
"Times have changed, Uncle Mari. It's okay for you to stay at home, right? Let's go out for a walk."
Chromie raised his little head and looked directly into the eyes of the dragon, which was larger than the three of himself, and said something that surprised Malygos.
"The Red Dragon Queen is missing, the Green Dragon Queen cannot leave the Emerald Dream, and now you are the only Dragon King who can act in Azeroth."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Malygos smiled sadly and wildly.
"I'm afraid that if I leave Kaodala, the Black Dragon Legion will come back..."
Malygos said as she paused.
The Blue Dragon King realized that there was something in the bronze dragon Chromie's words.
"can not say?"
As the Aspect Dragon, Malygos knew the abilities and limitations of the bronze dragon very well, so he asked tactfully.
"Times have changed."
Chromie answered speciously, and cast a spell to pass a small memory image to Malygos.
Difference, shock, ecstasy, as the guardian of magic and mystery, the Blue Dragon King is never afraid of any puzzle games. From the memory images provided by Chromie, Malygos deduced at least ten pieces of useful information. However, it doesn't matter. What really makes the Blue Dragon King feel ecstatic is that all this information points to one conclusion - Neltharion has left Azeroth!
I regard you as a brother, a brother who shares life and death, but you kill my whole family!
Malygos did not understand why Neltharion betrayed him, and he did not want to find out the reason for his betrayal during the long years of waiting. When the pain accumulates to a certain extent and the hatred is so rich that it ferments into the sweet wine of revenge, the Blue Dragon King has been deeply trapped in it and cannot extricate himself.
The black dragon army has been assembled. This power is definitely not something that the blue dragon army in Malygos's hands can compete with. But without Neltharion, no black dragon has the ability to resist the blue dragon king's wrath alone!
Using the Focusing Iris, Malygos can suppress the restless Leyline energy for a short period of time, and the powerful arcane energy gathered by the Focusing Iris can in turn create a situation where Malygos still guards the Eye of Eternity. phantom.
If done correctly, Malygos can take a brief break from his duties.
For the first time in ten thousand years, Malygos' desolate mood was filled with such a strong impulse. Even though he knew that the bronze dragon Chromie was using him to achieve some purpose she wanted, the Blue Dragon King Still so enjoyable.
"Yeah, it's time for me to relax and unwind. So, Chromie, do you have any good suggestions for vacation?"
…
In the memory, time passed quietly, and his keen senses informed Mario that Ashkandi was back.
"Sir Mario, I found a good hiding place in the southwest."
It was only now that the Crow Man realized that it was very rude of him to leave a Venerable in a cave filled with corpses and blood, and he seemed a little embarrassed.
"It doesn't matter. If you take care of your affairs, I can do my thing with peace of mind."
Malygos felt that the arakkoa Ashkandi was actually quite good, and secretly decided that if it could live to the end, she would compensate it. After all, it was not kind to be a fake to deceive people.
"By the way, Mr. Mario, when I went out, I noticed that the patrols of the black dragon became more frequent. Do I need to avoid those big reptiles?"
"Of course... you need to avoid them. Dragons are very curious. It would be bad if they discovered the Focusing Iris."
"What you're saying is, I asked a stupid question."
At the mention of the black dragon, hatred once again occupied the Blue Dragon King's heart, and the previous guilt disappeared.
"It's getting late, let's act."
"OK."
The good impression of Mario filled his heart, and for the first time, the racist Ashkandi felt that humans were actually a good race. (To be continued.)
