585【Who casts the dragon soul】
After a while, Angmar returned to the magnificent bottom temple of Dragon Sleep Temple.But there are some ways...
strange.
Because Angmar came back riding on Malygos's neck, all the dragon guardians shook their heads helplessly when they saw this. Malygos was like this, what could they do?
In fact, even Angmar himself was surprised. Not to mention that the dragon guardians were all arrogant and noble. As the guardian of magic, Malygos not only had no airs when he invited himself to attend the meeting again, She actually let him ride on her neck and fly down together in such an intimate way...
As early as in the previous conversation, Angmar had discovered that the Blue Dragon King seemed to be deeply curious about him, and his eyes were always scanning him, as if he was being treated as an extremely precious experiment or some revelation. Mysterious otherworldly magical creatures.
Considering Malygos' well-known curiosity and identity, this isn't surprising.All these also gave Angmar a more intuitive understanding of this tragic fate of the Blue Dragon King.
Speaking of which, the five guardian dragons are all different.Neltharion is calm and majestic; Alexstrasza is gentle and maternal; Ysera is easy-going and mysterious; Nozdormu is ethereal... And hidden under the appearance of Malygos is undoubtedly a person who has been boring for thousands of years. Despite the pressure of responsibilities, they are cheerful souls who maintain a strong thirst for knowledge about all unknown things.
In fact, he is really... very different from the guardian dragon, at least he is very different from people's impression of the dragon king who is aloof and looks down upon all living beings.
It would be impossible to say that Angmar did not feel sorry for Malygos' tragic fate.In the fall of Neltharion, the dragon king and his tribe were the ones who were most hurt.
When the five-color dragon army launched an attack on the Well of Eternity, Neltharion, who was holding the Dragon Soul, turned against the enemy and killed most of the adult blue dragons that day in one blow, almost cutting off the existence of the blue dragon clan. .Due to the decline of the tribe, the death of his spouse, and the deep blow of the betrayal of his best friend, from then on, the world lost a magical guardian who was optimistic by nature, and gained a blue dragon king who was driven crazy by extreme grief.
By the time Malygos finally "awakened", time had passed to the Northern Expedition more than [-] years later.Just when the mortal races were attacking Northrend, intending to deal with the Lich King, the great enemy of all living beings, Malygos, whose thoughts had been distorted by his long-term madness, actually ignored the threatening Scourge around him, let alone the others. With the persuasion of the guardian dragon, he intended to tie the world's magic network to the magic hub, and led the sparsely populated Blue Dragon Legion to launch a crazy arcane war against the entire world...
Other dragons had to unite with the mortal forces led by Dalaran to put an end to his crazy behavior.He died, a worthless death, at the hands of the compatriots he had lived with day and night.
Isn't this a loss for the entire Azeroth?
The root of all this lies in the fallen Neltharion and the dragon soul he created by deceiving the five-color dragon clan.
It is impossible to rewrite Neltharion's fate. As long as he is still the "Guardian of the Earth", it is impossible not to be corrupted by the ancient gods who are deeply connected to the earth. However, the ancient gods are not Angmar at this time. Way to deal with it.
But the Dragon Soul is a historical variable that Angmar can absorb.
The importance of this artifact to history is self-evident. Whether it was repelling Sargeras who was half-stepping into Azeroth in the War of the Ancients, or enslaving the Red Dragon Queen during the Second War. Played an irreplaceable role.In order to ensure that the timeline moves steadily toward later generations, the Dragon Soul must appear, but...
How it appears in a certain way and how it participates in these important historical events are all historical variables that can be ingested.
Judging from the history of the next 1 years, the presence of the five-color dragon clan is not very strong, at least it has not affected the birth of the mainstream mortal group in Azeroth. The most legendary thing is that it participated in and dominated the events that took place in the dark world. It's just a battle of quicksand that dates back about 1000 years.
Angmar can rewrite the fate of Malygos and the blue dragons.If Malygos had not fallen into madness, and the blue dragon clan had not been devastated by the ancient war, when Deathwing returned in an invincible manner and set off a catastrophe that shook the foundation of the world, would this world have been more peaceful? A little calm?
Not only that, if he can secretly use his tricks to make the Dragon Soul restrain Deathwing, then the outcome of the Cataclysm will be much better - but he also understands that this is completely unrealistic. idea.
The Demon Soul must be destroyed, otherwise the Aspect will never be able to regain the essence of power that was poured into it when it was created, and it will never be able to return to its full glory.When fighting against Deathwing, the three Aspect Dragons, Kalecgos, the half-assed blue dragon king who replaced Malygos but never had the power of true guardianship, and Thrall, who summoned the power of the earth in place of the Earth Guardian, On the basis of the combined efforts of the five parties, and with the help of the dragon soul "stolen" from another timeline as an extra helping hand, the final victory was achieved.
Although there is still a long way to go before 100% exertion of one's own power, the total amount of energy contained in the body still exceeds that of any Aspect Dragon present... But no matter how confident Angmar is, he will not No matter how crazy you are at taking great risks, you are lucky enough to be able to complete your previous plan.
After all, Neltharion is not a fool, and neither is the Ancient God.As he became more powerful, Angmar became more aware of the wisdom of such beings.Underestimating them will lead to big mistakes.
After landing, he nodded slightly to High-Level Guardian Rai, and then at the latter's signal, he told the origin of the Burning Legion and the reasons why Sargeras fell.The guardian dragons became more and more frightened when they heard this. Neltharion also secretly considered unknown things. Even Malygos put away his always light expression and became serious.
"Neltharion is right," Malygos sighed. "I now understand why he proposed to shape the dragon soul. As the guardian of the earth, he is far more aware of the disasters that this world is going through than we are. More sensitive, and more aware of the horror of the devil.”
"Soul of the Dragon?" Senior Guardian Lai asked pretending not to know.
Malygos nodded, "This is a decision we made at the last meeting. It's best to let Neltharion make the decision. He is the proposer of the plan and is more familiar with the concept of this artifact."
Neltharion immediately took two steps forward and explained without changing his expression.
After listening to the Earth Guardian's words, High-Level Guardian Rai agreed, "Gathering the essence of all dragons to create a supreme artifact... This is indeed a good solution."
Alexstrasza on the side also agreed, "That's right. According to Neltharion's deduction, this artifact can perfectly integrate our power and make it exert greater power. It is more powerful, flexible and easy to use, and even You can defeat existences that are almost the same as us in an instant, like..."
The Red Dragon Queen turned to Angmar, "Archimonde and Kil'jaeden as the time traveler said."
Then she continued, "This artifact has almost no shortcomings. It's just that we will lose part of our protective power and become weaker. The same is true for all the dragons who contributed their essence."
"But compared to winning with brute force, this is undoubtedly a more subtle method, and the loss can be ignored." Ysera also expressed his opinion at the right time.
But at this time, a slightly different voice emerged.
"Neltharion, do you really want to leave the crucial initial casting work to the goblins?" Malygos asked.
"Goblin?"
"Yes, that is the mortal race that is extremely greedy and would even cut down an entire forest to satisfy their greed. I always feel that it is not reliable to entrust this kind of work to them. In fact..." Malygos He smiled awkwardly and turned to look at his best friend Neltharion, "It's a bit too childish."
Ysera frowned slightly.Even the Aspect Dragon does not have a favorable impression of the goblins, because these little guys are too greedy, and their greed is so fierce that it often reminds the dragons who observe the mortal world of the ancient beings who once intended to devour Azeroth. god.
Neltharion sighed when he saw this, shook his head and said, "Old friends, not long ago you were saying that I was too contemptuous of mortals, but now you have made the same mistake. I did entrust this job to the goblins, but also It is precisely because there are many skilled craftsmen in this clan. Although their skills are not very good, as long as they are given more shiny gold, things can be done well. What's more, these goblin craftsmen have been trained by me. , absolutely qualified for this job.”
Having said that, in fact, both Angmar and the high-level guardian Rai, who knew this history from his mouth, understood that Neltharion was just trying to ensure that the shaping process of the Dragon Soul was under his control. That’s all.Only in this way can some dark magic obtained from the ancient gods be applied unknowingly inside, so that the dragon soul can in turn restrain every dragon that has poured its essence into itself, and even other guardians. dragon.
"Okay." The guardian dragons had 120% trust in Neltharion. Seeing that he had said this, they were not prepared to dwell on it at this time.
In fact, they do not despise mortals, on the contrary, they can see the shining points of mortals.
The "sister swords" Quel'Sera and Quel'Delar, which occupy a place among the many mortal artifacts in Azeroth, are actually artifacts created by the dragon using the night elves' most advanced magical forging skills.Although it was specially built for the night elves who had contributed a lot in the War of the Ancients, it is enough to show that the five-color dragon clan does not completely ignore mortal technology.
By the way, Quel'Delar among them was rewarded to the group of righteous upper elves headed by Dath'Remar. After its eastward journey, it became the heirloom sword of Quel'Thalas and returned to ancient times in Angmar. Previously, it was passed to Liadrin by its owner, Salorian Morningseeker.
Quel'Sera, for some unknown reason, fell into the hands of Deathwing's daughter, Onyxia, known as the black dragon princess, and was kept as a collection in her lair in Dustwallow Marsh.
At this moment, Malygos's voice sounded again, "Actually... Neltharion, we all know that when it comes to casting standards, no one in Azeroth can match the level of Titan creation. And the quality of Titan creation The leader, the high-level guardian who once shaped the mogu and tol'vir, and also created the Forge of Will and the Forge of Origin with many colleagues, is here. Why don't you ask him for help? Although it is inevitable that the original casting plan will be affected. The impact may cause the Dragon Soul to come out a little later, but I believe that the ability of the high-level guardian will definitely make this artifact more powerful."
As soon as these words came out, Angmar suddenly felt happy.He had no idea that all the words he had prepared would be spoken by the Blue Dragon King.The most important thing is that the weight of the same words spoken from the mouth of a guardian dragon is definitely not comparable to that of a prophet who has just gained trust.
The prototype of the dragon soul cast by the high-level guardian Lai himself is undoubtedly a million times better than the goblin.All the Aspect Dragons present knew this. No matter what Neltharion thought, it was impossible to refuse this proposal, let alone use other excuses to shirk it.After all, the dragon soul is too important, and... which of the other guardian dragons is easy to deceive?Such an important opportunity must not reveal any flaws.
Under the gaze of all the extraordinary beings, Neltharion was stunned for a moment, then raised his thick tail, swept his eyebrows, and said with a smile, "That's right, why didn't I think of this?"
Although Neltharion's face remained normal, Angmar knew very well that all his plans had failed. The fallen guardian of the earth must have been cursing in his heart. I am afraid that as soon as this meeting is over, he can't wait to talk to him. A certain ancient god contacted to discuss a solution.
But right now, he could only agree.
"When the meeting is over, I will tell you my ideas." Neltharion nodded to High-Level Guardian Lai.
Len nodded slightly.
