Chapter 1281 Happy Little Dragon (I’m so hot that I’ve turned into a catworm)

"Mr. Knight..."

"Don't say anymore, I understand."

Back on the warship, looking at the young ether dragons swaying around the fleet, Duanmu Huai sighed silently.

"I still want to ask, isn't this really a demon that broke free from a seal?"

An complained decisively and mercilessly, while Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes.

"How is that possible? Didn't you see it hatch from the egg with your own eyes?"

"That's an egg...?"

After hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, the other girls also had subtle expressions.

"In short, from today on, this is our pet. Just raise it like a kitten or a puppy."

"I think my kitten is much cuter than that dragon."

Mary stroked the Warm Sun Velvet cat beside her and whispered.

"Does it really not need to eat?"

Gu Leiya is still struggling with this problem.

"I'm worried that it might get hungry and eat the fleet directly..."

"It will consume stellar energy, so we don't need to worry about it. Of course, I've already told it that it won't touch the Inquisition's warships."

"Are you really going to keep it, uncle?"

Naruse Mio also looked incredulous as she looked at the young Ether Dragon floating outside the fleet.

"Of course, otherwise why would I go to so much trouble to hatch it? If I didn't want to raise it, wouldn't it be better for me to just use that dragon egg to make fried eggs for you?"

"Uh... Lord Duanmu, I don't think there's such a big pot... Although I do want to try it."

At this moment, Wan Liya next to him added with a smile.

"So it really won't attack us? Isn't Ms. Xueli still studying the corpse of the ether dragon? What if it sees it... and goes crazy?"

Lumiel was more worried about other problems. After all, the body of the ether dragon was still floating in space, and Xueli was on a research ship to study it. Xueli was full of fighting spirit and energy. Although she had been in the Tribunal for quite a while, she was mainly responsible for the research of local plants and animals. She had never encountered an ether dragon before, so she was naturally very excited and plunged into it.

"It doesn't matter. The body of the Ether Dragon has long been sent to another star field. And it doesn't matter even if you see it. In fact, although it was hatched from the egg of the Ether Dragon, it actually has nothing to do with the Ether Dragon anymore."

"Huh? Is that so?"

"That's it."

Duanmu Huai nodded. He had never worried about Lumiel's problem. The reason was simple. The energy obtained by this ether dragon hatchling when it was hatched all came from itself, so for this ether dragon hatchling, Duanmu Huai was its biological parent.

As for that ether dragon? It's an unknown monster.

"Don't worry, the habits of the Ether Dragon are not much different from those of ordinary dragons. On weekdays, it just eats and sleeps, and when it gets bored, it will find a place to play by itself. You don't need to worry too much."

"To be honest, I still can't admit that this is a dragon......"

Gu Leiya's expression was very subtle when she heard Duanmu Huai's answer. Although in many fantasy worlds, dragons are very large, generally speaking, even the largest dragons are only about a hundred meters long.

But what the hell is this giant dragon that is over ten kilometers long at birth?

It is not the same species as us!

  Doesn't the word "dragon" mean we are the same as this monster? !

Duanmu Huai pretended not to hear Guleya's complaints. The Ether Dragon was already in his hands anyway, so he had to do what he had to do. No matter what anyone said, it was useless, right?

After all, they have hatched now, so we can’t use them to cook poached eggs.

In addition to this ether dragon larva, Duanmu Huai also found a lot of good things in the dragon's nest this time. The most useful one in Duanmu Huai's opinion is the [Daedalus Seal], which is a thing sealed by a pentagonal octahedron, similar to a magic crystal prop, but this thing is not magic. Its function is to close all space channels within a certain range for a certain period of time, including star gates, wormholes and even subspace cracks.

This range is determined by the amount of input power. If Duanmu Huai has that ability, he can directly close the entire galaxy.

Unfortunately, he didn't. But at least it's no problem to block a few star systems.

The advantage of this is that it directly cuts off the possibility of others jumping out, and the disadvantage is that you can't jump out either, but it is still sufficient to deal with city defense battles.

For example, when Duanmu Huai was building the ether engine, he could have activated this thing to seal off the surrounding space. In this way, those Chaos legions and Warp demons would not be able to rush over from all directions and would only be able to walk... Wouldn't that save time?

In addition, the second most useful relic is the transcriber that Brian dug up. Its effect is to copy the effects of other artifacts without consuming itself. In other words, the transcriber can be transformed into any kind of relic and exert its power. For example, Duanmu Huai can use the transcriber to copy the Daedalus Seal, and then he can open and activate the abilities of two Daedalus Seals at the same time. Well, no wonder the ether dragon is staring at this thing so hard. If Duanmu Huai knew about this thing, he would definitely watch it closely.

No wonder it was stolen. Who doesn’t like this thing?

After killing the Ether Dragon that showed up out of nowhere, Duanmu Huai and the others returned to Azeroth again. After all, there were still some things to do here.

But it’s almost over.

The progress of the evacuation of the expeditionary force was much faster than planned. The reason was simple. With the death of Sargeras, the entire Burning Legion was now on the verge of collapse. In addition, many races within the Burning Legion were oppressed by Sargeras and became his subordinates. When Sargeras was still alive, these people naturally did not dare to jump out, but as soon as Sargeras died, these people immediately raised the banner of rebellion.

The Burning Legion, which was now in a state of internal strife, was too busy to care about others. Therefore, the expeditionary army took this opportunity to speed up the progress. Except for the fact that the Night Sentinels would kill a few Dreadlords at the Dark Portal every day, everything else was going smoothly.

Now the retreat is coming to an end. Those who are stubborn and refuse to leave...then just don't leave. It's as if the Inquisition cares about them at all.

When Duanmu Huai arrived at the Dark Portal, the others had already been waiting there. Varian and the dwarf master craftsman Mekkatorque came in person, but as for the dwarves, Brian could not come. Because of the trouble he caused, the old man was beaten up by his own brother and was currently being locked up in Ironforge for reflection. So the dwarves did not send anyone this time.

Night elves...haha.

"It's been a while, Your Excellency the Inquisitor."

Seeing Duanmu Huai appear, Varian hurried forward to greet him.

"Oh, you look good, don't you?"

"thanks to you."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's response, Varian smiled. With the return of the expeditionary force, Stormwind Kingdom became the biggest winner. The reason is simple. The last time the Alliance sent an expeditionary force deep into Outland, the seven human kingdoms were still there. But times have changed. After all these years of changes, only Stormwind Kingdom, Gilneas and Dalaran are still alive among the seven human kingdoms. The other countries have completely collapsed in the attack of the Scourge.

This was obviously a huge blow to the soldiers of the seven nations in the expeditionary force. After all, they had never expected that after staying in the outer realms for so many decades, they would not even have a home when they returned... So they had no choice but to choose to settle in the Storm Kingdom.

Varian was naturally very welcome to the arrival of these soldiers. After all, Stormwind Kingdom was in need of people, and these people had seen the world in the Outlands and fought for humanity until the last moment. They had no problem with their loyalty or ability. It can be said that Stormwind Kingdom absorbed almost all the talents and elites of the seven kingdoms and made a lot of money.

You can tell how happy Varian is by looking at the corners of his mouth that he can't close. I guess he will wake up laughing in his dreams at night.

That's what it's like, I laugh even in my dreams at night.

As before, everyone exchanged a few pleasantries and then boarded the shuttle to head for the warship. Along the way, Varian and Mekkatorque curiously asked Duanmu Huai about the situation of the ether dragon. After all, the roar of the ether dragon was heard by the whole Azeroth, but everyone was confused and didn't know what happened. Later, Duanmu Huai sent someone to explain the cause and effect. However, they were also quite interested in the dragons outside of Azeroth - after all, they didn't expect that there were dragons outside the world of Azeroth.

Duanmu Huai did not refuse and told them about the Aether Dragon. When they learned that the size and strength of the Aether Dragon were almost the same as Sargeras, both of them changed their expressions drastically.

"Perhaps I should tighten restrictions on archaeological research in the Storm Kingdom after I return..."

Varian was also afraid. According to Duanmu Huai, it was not certain who would win if the Aether Dragon and Sargeras really fought. Such a powerful being was actually provoked by the relics he dug up? Fortunately, the Inquisition was here. If the Inquisition was not here, I am afraid that everyone in Azeroth would not even know why they died.

Of course, for Duanmu Huai, Brian was just unlucky. Among so many ruins, he just happened to dig the one that he should not have dug... This is fate.

"Will Your Excellency the Inquisitor issue an extermination order again this time?"

“Of course, but in a different way.”

"Way?"

"Yes."

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai nodded and walked forward.

"This time I'm going to set off some big fireworks for you guys to watch."

Then, he spoke.
