18. Resentment beneath the depths
In the end, Ysera did not make it to Mount Hyjal.
But it wasn't just because she was persuaded by the deer helmet's words, but something more important was stumbling in her tracks.
"Your name is Stella Gossa?"
Ysera stood on the land of Frostfire Ridge at the westernmost end of the Draenor world, in this desolate and dead frozen land, she saw a living blue dragon, judging from the aura emanating from the beautiful girl in front of her, Ysera could conclude that this was a pure-blooded blue dragon that was already very rare, and her bloodline was very, very close to the magic king Malygos.
If the dragon also has a kingdom of its own, then the young little blue dragon in front of him should be a real princess.
"Yes, noble lady."
Little Star stood honestly in front of Ysera, she no longer had the same lively energy as when she was with Luminas, because she could feel that this beautiful sister in front of her was also a dragon, and judging by her breath, she should be stronger than her grandfather.
Little Star looked at Ysera in front of her, before she was born, the blue dragons of the blue habitat had been isolated from the world for thousands of years, Little Star had never seen any dragons other than the blue dragon since she was born, she only occasionally heard from her grandfather about some secrets about the Guardian Dragon Legion, in her worldview, the Guardian Dragon Legion was a very glorious title.
She was born with a great mission... Although she was severely taught a lesson by Luminas on her first adventure, this did not affect Little Star's admiration and admiration for the legendary dragon kings, although she had never met them at all.
"Where are you from? Child. ”
Ysera took the initiative to step forward and took Little Star's hand, and she smiled and said to the junior:
"Don't be afraid, I won't eat you again."
"We live in a turquoise habitat."
Sensing a powerful aura near his "new home", he went out to patrol, but the little star who was encountered by Ysera replied timidly, "That's our hometown in the mountains of Asuna in the Broken Isles, and my grandfather said we migrated there 10,000 years ago." ”
"Ah, Assuna."
Ysera shook her head a little abruptly:
"No wonder every time I go to Valsara, I feel some blocked magical aura, I thought it was the fluctuation left over from the 10,000-year-old curse of Asuna, but I didn't think it was you hiding there, so kid, is your grandfather still there? What's its name? ”
Probably because of Ysera's gentle attitude, Little Star was less afraid of her powerful kind, and she stole a glance at Ysera beside her, and then showed that proud expression again, and she replied:
"My grandfather's name is Senagos, and he is a relative of Lord Malygos, and he used to be Malygos's most trusted follower, but because of some differences in philosophy, my grandfather took his relatives and left the Demon Hub 10,000 years ago."
"Huh?"
Ysera's eyes narrowed, and when she heard the name, the image of a familiar blue dragon flashed through her mind:
"Senagos? My old friend is still alive, and that's the best news I've heard in a while. ”
She turned her head to look at Little Star, after learning that this was the granddaughter of an old friend, Ysera also had a feeling for Little Star to look at her juniors, she stroked Little Star's beautiful long blue hair, and she asked again:
"And how did you get into this world? Was you coerced by Tyrion? ”
"No!"
Little Star shook her head, and she explained:
"Actually, the Great Lord saved us, because some time ago the demons landed in Asuna, according to the strength of the blue habitat, it was difficult for us to stop those demons, but the Great Lord suddenly appeared, dispelled the demons, and not only brought us to this world with abundant materials and magic power, without war, but also released the ghosts of Assuna... Although he seems to be very difficult to deal with..."
Little Star's eyes narrowed, presumably recalling Tyrion's gesture, and she shrugged:
"But I suppose the Great Lord must be a good man, well, at least much better than the madmen under his command."
"Good guys?"
Isera looked at Little Star's non-fake expression, her mood at this time was a little complicated, although the blue dragon was not her relative, but considering that the five dragon legions had been helping each other since ancient times, and they were from the same source, coupled with the terrible reality of withering within the Blue Dragon Legion now, the appearance of this group of pure-blooded blue dragons in front of her would undoubtedly give the stressed Malygos a real booster.
From the dragon's point of view, Tyrion really did a great thing for the dragon army... But to say that he is a good person is a bit too shallow.
Ysera knew that the things that Tyrion had done in the past ten years, and pulling out a random one would be enough to be judged as the Great Demon King.
But it occurred to Ysera that she might not be much better than Tyrion, and although she knew that Tyrion's suggestion that she came to Draenor was a conspiracy, she chose to come here to investigate the blue dragons instead of flying back to Mount Hyjal to warn the Night Elves that war was coming.
Maybe... Deer Helmet is not right, this war is not just a simple destruction and slaughter, after the World Tree Nodashir was burned, the Night Elf civilization that has lost its shackles may really be able to draw strength from the disaster and force itself out of the quagmire of eternal life.
But Ysera knew that it was more likely to be a fantasy and an explanation for her selfish actions.
"Sister, sister?"
The little star's call woke Isera from her musings, and she smiled softly and looked at the little star with a curious expression:
"What's wrong?"
"I want to ask you, have you seen Master Malygos?"
Little Star asked a little embarrassedly:
"Grandfather never told me about his conflicts and past with Master Malygos, but I think that if Mistress Malygos can be called the King of Magic, he must be a very powerful and mighty dragon, right? Can you describe his appearance to me? And, there's... Sister, what's your name? Are you a red dragon? Or the Green Dragon? Are you a bad ass black dragon? ”
This silly question made Ysera laugh dumbly, and in the cold wind of the desolate Frost Fire Ridge, Isera took Little Star's arm and took a step forward:
"Let's go, little girl, we have plenty of time to discuss these issues."
"Wow"
The body of the jade dragon with a body length of 150 meters appeared in the cold wind, the huge body like a moving mountain, and the extremely beautiful body lines, and the natural magic patterns that shocked the little star, as well as the dragon claws and dragon horns that crystallized like jade, and even the breath that escaped, all made the little star almost suffocate at this moment.
"But I can answer one of your questions first..."
A thunderous sound sounded in the little star's ears, making the young dragon almost faint.
"My name is Ysera... The caretaker of Azeroth's Emerald Dream, the awakened of the world's dream, the queen of the Green Dragon Legion... I'm a friend of your grandfather, you can call me an aunt, of course... Sister can too. ”
"Malygos is above! You are the Emerald Queen! ”
Little Star covered her heart at this moment, she loved to listen to her grandfather's stories since she was a child, and in many stories, the powerful dragon in front of her was the protagonist.
This is a venerable dragon king... This is one of the most powerful women in the guardian dragon legion, and the hero that Little Star worships the most as a female baby dragon, and the pure asteroid doesn't like the slightly chaotic private life of the Red Dragon Queen...
————————————————————————
At the same time that the dream queen of the other world was carrying the little star to "find her relatives", at this time in Azeroth, the peace and silence shrouded in the surface of the world had not been broken.
Even if the three warbands of the Darkblade have begun to assemble in the Dead Realm, even if the war in the Emerald Dream has evolved into the encirclement and suppression of the last gathering place of the Green Dragon Legion by the arrogant nightmare forces, and even if the druids of the Cenarion Council used all their strength to defend the Emerald Gates of the Gray Valley and the Filas Wilderness at the most critical time, all these wars that occurred in the shadows still did not affect the world's civilizations.
At least not yet...
And just as the balance is about to be upset, on the western shore of Kalimdor, on the land known as the Black Coast, the Night Elf civilians who were forced to leave their homeland during the war months ago are preparing to return from the Gray Valley to their devastated home.
The Black Coast, a narrow strip of coast, close to the Felwood Forest and Moonlight Glades, and a straight line distance from Mount Hyjal, is the closest to the sea among the several territories that the Night Elves have carved out over the course of 10,000 years, and is also home to most of the Night Elves' harbors.
Before the outbreak of the Demon War, there were almost 150,000 Night Elves living here, considering that Kadore did not have a large population base, this can already be regarded as an important city of Night Elves on the border, and after the outbreak of the Demon War, many residents of Felwood Forest were relocated here, and during the most prosperous period, nearly 250,000 elves lived in Auberdine, and it was also the most important logistics base of the Night Elves during the war.
Moreover, the Black Sea itself is rich in materials, close to the gentle sea of mist, so that this land is not short of water, the forest resources are extremely rich, there is a very rich and complete food chain, and the atmosphere here is not as full of faith as Mount Hyjal, probably because of the sea, the elves here often encounter some lost ships, and they occasionally do business with the confused sailors who are washed up in the sea of mist.
Of course, if a pirate wants to plunder Auberdine, the fierce huntress and the night elf archer will show them what the price is terrible.
Overall, Auberdine is one of the more open cities in the white-water Cadore civilization, but in the later stages of the Demon War, the Nagas who landed here destroyed some elven villages on the Black Coast, forcing Auberdine to go through a period of gloom, but the war was not without its benefits, because of the agreement signed between General Santis and the human Kurtiras, and many merchant ships from Kurtiras appeared in the port of Auberdine.
This is the first time that a shrewd human merchant has been officially authorized to enter the Night Elf civilization, and for a while, the entire Auberdine has set off a wave of enthusiasm for human culture, and the merchants of Kul Tiras also said that these beautiful Night Elf ladies are very generous, probably because they have been closed for thousands of years, and they have no concept of currency at all.
Ever since one lucky winner traded ten bags of creamy fudge of various flavors for a priceless piece of Queen Azhara from the elves, Auberdine has become an important trading port for almost all maritime merchants.
Recently, Auberdeen was as lively as a few days ago, in the harbor humans and goblin merchants bargained with the curious Night Elves, a large number of supplies were sent to Auberdine's warehouse through the dock, and some Night Elf ships responsible for maintaining order shuttled on the sea near the dock, making this city that has existed for thousands of years unexpectedly full of a kind of sunrise like a lively atmosphere.
However, on a broken island thousands of meters away from the port of Auberdine, Azhara stepped onto this ancient island from the deep sea in a queenly manner, guarded by several Naga royal guards, her octopus-like lower body stepped forward on the island, and her upper body, which was still preserved, looked out at the black land of Auberdine in the distance.
"Cadore seems to be having a good time..."
Queen Aishara's hoarse voice rang out on the dead island, and in the sea behind her, countless black dots were swimming rapidly from the depths of the sea towards the surface, and the number could easily make people sound overwhelming swarms, or terrible locusts during the harvest season.
The queen reached out and removed a scepter from her ornate belt, wrapped in a dark blue halo of flowing water, and as she shook it, the calm sea around her suddenly set off a terrifying wave.
"Ah, these betrayers, these untouchables..."
Azhara's voice became soft, but the words she uttered were like the most vicious, insane curses:
"Behold them, they have forgotten the original sin in their blood, they have overthrown their rulers with their own hands, they have destroyed my beloved civilization with their own hands, my people..."
Azhara's eyes drifted upwards, and she seemed to see Mount Hyjal and the World Tree Nodashir, which stretched across the northern continent of Kalimdor, and a strange smile hung on her bewitching face:
"Tyrande... You're right there, right? ”
"Wow"
The terrifying sound of millions of tons of sea colliding sounded on the sea behind Queen Aishara, and the moment the tidal scepter in her hand was raised, a sea tide nearly 20 meters high rolled in an abrupt and extremely abrupt way into the calm misty sea.
"They thought I forgot..."
"They thought I was dead..."
"They thought I was scared..."
"But I'm still here... Aishara is still here..."
The scepter in the queen's hand swung forward at this moment, and the tide of the sea like the tide of destruction roared forward, and under the queen's will, it moved forward like a wall, and even became bigger and more terrifying.
"The tide of the sea, which reaches the clouds of Mount Hyjal, will tell them... After 10,000 years, I'm back! ”
"Azhara is back!"
"I'll come..."
"Revenge!"
