Menethil's Power

Chapter 295 Crimson Hope
On the Great Sea, near the coastline of Tirisfal Glades, a red dragon flies across the sky.

Unlike the red dragons that are usually crimson, the scales on this head show a somewhat dreamy crimson. Her body is huge but not bloated. Even with human eyes, she can feel the beauty from her elegant and well-proportioned figure. Her dragon horns are gracefully curved, and her scales shine like jewels.

The direction of the red dragon is the bustling human city in the east. She is flying very high in order not to be seen by too many mortals. She is Christaza, the offspring of the Red Dragon Queen, "the masterpiece of life", five years ago She reluctantly left here, and now, she is back.

There has never been an example of the combination of a dragon and a mortal in this world. After all, the differences in life levels between races are too huge.Christaza also didn't understand why she was attracted to that "hateful" human being. She had never considered the matter of a spouse before, but she gave her body and mind to her in less than a year. he.

Is it out of gratitude to him for saving the Red Dragon Queen?Or do you appreciate his talent and talent?Or was it silent love during that time on the Wandering Isle?Christaza herself doesn't know, maybe these are just the raw materials for this kind of emotion, and when they exist at the same time, there will be a wonderful chemical reaction, after all, love is always sudden or even without reason.

Because of the long life, the giant dragon attaches great importance to feelings, so when she faced the split body of the ancient god on the Wandering Isle, she gave Isaacs the blessing of life without hesitation, connecting their lives together, and This is exactly the meaning of the title "Life-Binder". As the guardian dragon, Alexstrasza holds the source of life in Azeroth, so she can transmit the power of life to any creature in the form of life chains. strength, but Christaza only inherited part of her mother's ability, and her own vitality is still limited, which means that she took the initiative to share her life with Isaacs.

This is a great effort, even a sacrifice, but it just solves the fundamental difference in lifespan and eliminates the main objective obstacle to the union of the two. Therefore, the Red Dragon Queen does not explicitly object to their feelings, but Krasus has been raising his eyebrows at Isaacs, the guy who kidnapped his daughter.

Since the Day of the Dragon, Alexstrasza, the Dragonqueen, returned to Wyrmrest Temple unwilling to stay in the sad place of Grim Batol.As the main hero who saved her mother, Christaza was rewarded and became the first red dragon to enter the crystal red sanctuary under the Dragon Rest Temple. This is the most sacred place of the red dragon family, full of rich life Essence.

With such a superior practice environment, coupled with her mother's private teaching from time to time, the total amount of red dragon essence in Christaza has increased by leaps and bounds. Although it has not yet reached the epic level, it has surpassed most of the grown-up Red Dragon.

You must know that the level of a giant dragon is not equivalent to that of a mortal, and the calculation of their combat power often includes the dragon body, and the hand-to-hand combat ability of any adult dragon must exceed that of a heroic fighter.

After the latest slumber and awakening, Kristaza could no longer stop herself from thinking about that name. She wanted to say goodbye to her mother, but was told that the Queen was not at Wyrmrest Temple, so Kristaza only stayed A message, and then returned to the Eastern Kingdom without hesitation.

At the flying speed of a giant dragon, it took half a day to pass through most of the Tirisfal Forest, and the closer to Lordaeron's royal city, the more excited Christasa was, as if she had seen Isaacs' surprised expression , and the following...

She began to land, turning into a crimson streamer, and had already turned into a human form when it touched the ground. Her landing point was the southeast area of ​​the Lordaeron palace, the residence of Isaacs.But she didn't feel the familiar atmosphere here.

not there?Christaza frowned unhappily. It was obvious that Isaacs was away on something, but it didn't matter. She knew who to ask about his movements. She started to walk to the throne room in the north, although it was only here They stayed briefly for a day and a night, but Christaza had memorized the general layout of Lordaeron's palace.

The guards seemed to have received their orders very early on, and did not obstruct Christaza in any way.The red dragon girl soon arrived at the throne room, the door suddenly opened, and a girl in a luxurious long dress came out. Her beautiful appearance can be said to be at the top level among human beings, even compared to Kristaza. There is not much difference, but the temperament is a bit dwarfed by comparison.

The noble girl was obviously a little surprised when she saw Christasa, and then she showed a standard smile, "Hello." She said.

"What's the matter, Kalia?" Terenas' voice came from the throne room.

"It's nothing, father, I just met a strange red-haired noble lady." Kalia turned her head and said.

"Let her in," said the old king.

Kalia made a gesture of invitation, opened the door of the throne room for Christa Sarah, and then walked out by herself. Obviously she was about to leave just now, and Christa Sarah tilted her head slightly to look at Her back, felt a little strange.

She had dinner with Menethil's family five years ago. Dining with a dragon should be an unforgettable experience for any human being. what she looks like.

Of course, this can be explained by the fact that Kalia has a bad memory and has a slow reflex arc, but why can't Christasa, who is a red dragon, feel any normal life breath from this human princess?
"Welcome, respected Lady Red Dragon." Terenas was a little surprised when he saw Christraza, but soon showed a gesture of joy, "If that boy Isaacs knows you You will be very happy when you come back." He even winked his eyes mischievously.

Although the name was used respectfully, Terenas was completely looking at his daughter-in-law.

Christaza bowed slightly. Although her age was actually almost four times that of Terenas, but because of Isaacs' relationship, she seemed to consider herself a junior, which made the red dragon look a little embarrassed, like Isaacs Call your father that?Still call uncle?It didn't seem very good, so Kristaza simply omitted the address, "Where is Isaacs now?"

"The kid is in Quel'Thalas, dealing with the demon invasion. He should need your help now." Terenas replied.

Demon invasion?Christaza suddenly understood why Alexstrasza left Wyrmrest Temple, she nodded slightly, "I'll hurry there." However, when she returned to the entrance of the Throne Hall, she suddenly stopped, turned and asked: "That was your daughter just now?"

"Yes, that's Callia, Isaacs' sister." Terenas replied patiently.

"She gave me a very strange feeling, her breath of life is very abnormal." The red dragon girl expressed her feelings bluntly.

"You mean she's sick?" Terenas frowned.

"No, I mean she doesn't feel human," Kristaza affirmed.

At this time, the high-level succubus Melissa is playing Kalia in the palace. Her illusion skills are impeccable, but no matter how clever the disguise is, it cannot change the essence of life. She can hide her demonic attributes, but she cannot create them out of thin air. The breath of human life.

Terenas' face changed suddenly, but he quickly regained his composure, but there was a flash of light in his deep blue-gray eyes, "Thank you for reminding, Christaza, I will pay great attention to my daughter Yes." He said quietly.

He did not appear ready to take immediate steps, nor would he say what steps he would take.Kristaza suddenly understood who Isaacs had learned from for the cocky gestures Isaacs often made.

She doesn't seem to be qualified to manage the internal affairs of human beings due to emotion and reason. At worst, she can tell Isaacs about it after she finds him.Christaza walked out of the throne room, reincarnated as a dragon under the shocked eyes of the guards, and then soared into the air, preparing to fly to the north where Quel'Thalas was.

However, she suddenly felt an aura that made her extremely uncomfortable, an aura that was completely opposed to life, this kind of aura should never appear in a place where a large number of mortals live together, because it represents death.

This breath came from the southwest direction. Christaza hesitated for a moment. Although she was full of miss for Isaacs, she finally turned around.

She is the red dragon, the swearer of life, and maintaining the life of Azeroth is the responsibility that the Titans entrusted to their race. In the face of this responsibility, any personal feelings must be put aside.

……

Sepulcher was in a state of confusion.

Countless residents died howling, and then turned into mindless zombies, killing and devouring the living.

A burly farmer stabs his zombified neighbor through the throat with a pitchfork, before his wife, who has been protecting him, bites him hard on the neck.

A town guard was trembling, even with a sharp spear, he couldn't attack the old woman who was biting wildly like a ghost in front of him, because this was his mother, who told him with a smile a few hours ago that she would buy bread in the future No need to spend money.

A pregnant woman with a big belly ran helplessly, but was thrown to the ground within a few steps, and was torn apart by several zombies like a rag doll. The bright red blood flowed on the stone-paved street, and the zombies Frantically gnawing on flesh, bones, and half-formed fetuses.

The rotten stench, accompanied by the smell of blood, spread throughout the town, mixed with the sweet smell of the previously baked bread, forming a very strange and maddening atmosphere.

At this time, Luo Na's face was as white as a sheet of paper. She couldn't imagine why such a doomsday scene appeared. It was obvious that she had suffered a great psychological shock.

This is the terrible thing about natural disasters. For living beings, it is the most hated and fearful enemy, because it will tear away all the warmth that people cherish.

That weird smell poured into her nostrils. After watching those ghost-like people massacre the survivors, Rona finally couldn't bear it anymore. She bent down and retched. After all, she was only a young girl under 25 years old. , Even if he is proficient in management and political science, he is still not allowed to see such a bloody and terrifying scene.

But at this time, no one understood her, "Damn it, why did the infection spread so fast?" Luthor, the law enforcer, was full of anger, "Aren't you going to reveal what Jaina did by this time?" He questioned directly Rhona said.

"Food, Jaina brought a kind of wheat called 'Golden Hope'..." Rona started to tell intermittently, letting everyone understand the specific situation.

"You allowed a new type of enchanted plant to be planted directly without any other mages proving its safety? Don't you know that Dalaran issued the "Arcane Control Act"?" After listening to Rona's narration Afterwards, Luther had an incredulous expression.

The "Arcane Control Act" stipulates that unless there is permission from the Kirin Tor Council, it is illegal to conduct any medium and large-scale magical experiments in areas other than Dalaran.This decree is widely regarded as one of the manifestations of Dalaran's monopoly on magical knowledge.

"Look at this town, look at these poor people, it's all because of you, because of your Crowley family!" Luther sighed, "I only hope this situation is limited to the town, if It's the entire Silverpine Forest..."

Rhona bit her lip and said nothing. She could imagine that similar tragedies had happened in at least half of Northern Gilneas. After all, the newly harvested wheat had been distributed to almost every village.Once again, the magical girl with a cute and serious attitude appeared in her mind, Jaina, why did you do this?she asked with tears in her heart.

"Enough is enough, now is obviously not the time to pursue responsibility." Valeera, who has been watching, said coldly, and only she, an elf, can be calm enough, "Isn't what you should do now to save as many people as possible?" Survivor?"

Rona nodded, "Yes, mistakes have been made, what we have to do is to recover the losses as much as possible..." Rona stood up, her eyes became firm again.

Rescuing the survivors was not difficult. Most of Sepulcher's guards were still in good condition, and although the newly transformed zombies looked scary, their actual combat effectiveness was not much higher than before. Can deal with them.However, a lot of trouble happened during the rescue, and many people prevented the soldiers from killing their relatives, even if they were still attacked by these former relatives just now.

Lorna gathered the survivors together, and Valeera calmly asked these people a question, "How many of you have eaten bread made from new wheat?"

The townspeople looked at each other in bewilderment, and then silently raised their hands one by one—most of them.

Rona's eyes darkened.

"Stand separately, and those who have eaten the new wheat bread stand over there!" Luther shouted loudly, the townspeople's line was in chaos for a while, and finally they obediently followed the orders of the mage.Luther stood in front of the townspeople who had eaten new wheat bread, looked at the pair of terrified eyes, his face was as gloomy as water, and sparks began to flicker in his hands.

"What are you doing?" Lorna asked sharply.

"Shut up, princess." Luther did not turn his head. "A large part of this situation is your fault. These people have already been infected. In order to prevent the plague from spreading again, they must... be purified."

"Purification? But they are still alive!"

"They are indistinguishable from the dead, you must recognize the reality, ma'am!"

"but……"

"Can you offer a better solution?"

When Luthor was arguing with Lorna, many of the townspeople had already started to vomit, which was a sign that they were about to transform into zombies.The surrounding townspeople avoided them in horror, but then more of them started bending over and throwing up too.

The situation suddenly got out of control.

Rona was in despair, tears were streaming down her cheeks, innocent people were dying one by one, and there was nothing she could do...

Holy Light, please save these poor people...

"New life will bloom in the flames!" A voice of nature suddenly remembered, and Rona looked over in astonishment, and found that it turned out to be a dragon, a beautiful crimson dragon.She spit out crimson flames, flew over the Sepulcher, and left behind a path of flames that was more than ten meters wide, and Rona and the others happened to be within the range of the path of flames.

The crimson flames made Lorna almost cry out, but when her skin touched the flames, she didn't feel any burning pain, on the contrary it was an extremely warm feeling.There are faint emerald green energy lights flickering in these flames, and even flammable items such as wooden boards and thatch are not ignited.

The mutated residents were bathed in the flames of the red dragon, and almost all infections were purified. Their faces turned rosy, and they touched these warm flames in extreme surprise, and then looked at the huge monster in the sky. figure.

"This is the Flame of Life! It turned out to be a direct descendant of the Life-Binder! Great! These people are saved!" As a mage, Luthor naturally knew more, and the enforcer finally showed a relaxed look After all, no one is born with a heart of stone, and he doesn't want to bear the responsibility of killing his compatriots.

Valeera was also watching the crimson dragon hovering in the mid-air. She knew who it was, Christaza, the woman Isaacs had always missed, and the female elf suddenly felt a bit of sourness in her heart.

Kristaza circled around the Sepulcher, spreading a large amount of flames, and finally hovered directly above the town. With a clear dragon chant, a huge emerald green magic circle appeared, and then those The crimson flames began to gradually spread to the entire Sepulcher, healing the infected and turning the transformed undead into ashes. At the same time, large green plants grew in the flames, clinging to the building, turning Here has become a verdant city.

The city has been purified in a real sense.

The rescued townspeople still seem to be out of a dream. They are just the most ordinary human beings. Many of them have never seen supernatural powers a few times in their lives, but at this time they suddenly saw a powerful red dragon. The red dragon saved everyone. They subconsciously wanted to praise the Holy Light, but they found they couldn't speak. After all, it wasn't the Holy Light who rescued them at this time.

But in theory, it is correct to praise the Holy Light. After all, if there is no Isaacs, the red dragon will not have an intersection with humans at this time.

Christaza turned into a human form in mid-air, with a trace of tiredness in her ruby-like eyes, obviously releasing so much red dragon essence was also a great burden for her.She landed slowly, and the townspeople on the ground had no idea that the red dragon had turned into a peerless beauty. They even held their breath for a moment, and no one dared to speak casually.

"Thank you, Lord Red Dragon!" Luther rushed over quickly and said with a formal face, "On behalf of the Kirin Tor Council, I would like to pay you the highest respect! Your kindness has saved thousands of people! "

Lorna stared blankly at the red dragon, not knowing what to say, but Valeera at the side suddenly said, "Valeera sees the mistress." She said in a very calm tone.

"You are... Valeera." Even though she only met a few times in the Lost Islands, Christasa still remembered Isaacs' number one "confidant", so she nodded slightly to her.

Mistress?That is to say, this red dragon belongs to Isaacs... Lorna was startled, and she had mixed feelings. She suddenly understood why Isaacs would rather give up being an ally with the Crowley family than marrying her. After all, Compared with the beautiful and powerful Christasa, even Lorna, who can already be called the girl of heaven, can't help but feel ashamed.

The red dragon looked at everyone here with a flat gaze, neither showing too much arrogance, nor any joy or compassion, as cold as a bloody rose, "Who can tell me what happened here?" What? Why is death so rampant?"

"Because of the Kirin Tor there has been a Fallen," said Enforcer Luthor, his voice icy cold. "She has brought disaster to this forest, and we will stop at nothing to find her and send her to To the Court of Truth in Dalaran."
