7. The Dying Dragon

"This is a really big guy! Look, it can also breathe fire!"

Buddy Moore, the death goblin, led a group of troll zombie sailors, circling around the behemoth on the beach. The eyes of this goblin philistine were full of the color of gold coins, and he seemed to learn from the dying red dragon in front of him.

I saw unlimited business opportunities.

"Dragon scales can be made into scale armor, dragon blood can be used to make potions, dragon tendons can be used to make strong bows, dragon bones can be made into staffs, dragon eyes can be used to make magic accessories, and the most useless dragon meat will become those

The food most sought after by nobles..."

"Ha, I'm going to get rich!"

No one paid attention to the arrogant fantasy of the goblin, but the red dragon that fell on the beach hated the smell of death. It struggled to move its neck that had been nearly blown into two pieces, and used the dragon fire from its nostrils to drive away flies like flies.

of death goblins.

Buddy Moore was afraid of dragon fire, so he ran away from a distance, but in his eyes, the dying dragon in front of him had turned into a pile of gold coins.

But the real threat does not come from this goblin, but from the death knights lined up on the beach in the distance. How can there be two blood mages who are looking at it like a test object?

This giant dragon was the red dragon that was killed by Griffin Knight Alfonso's death raid. It fell on the beach at the edge of the battlefield. Next to it was the Orc Dragon Knight who had broken his neck. This bastard was here

He died quietly before the death knights arrived.

This was probably the only thing that made Auguste Traz feel happy in this terrible disaster and war.

Auguste Traz, this is the name of this red dragon. It is full of the weird naming habits of giant dragons. It is very uncommon, and if you are not familiar with dragon language, it is difficult to pronounce it correctly.

It is an adult red dragon, one of the guards of the Red Dragon Queen and Life-Binder Alexstrasza. Maybe at some time in the future, he will be lucky enough to become the queen's consort and maintain a more glorious identity.

There is a balance of life in this world, but the nightmare that started three years ago completely shattered it all.

The orcs found the evil artifact from ancient times - the Demon's Soul. It was an evil weapon specially made for his fellow tribesmen by Neltharion, the guardian of the earth, who fell for unknown reasons during the war ten thousand years ago. The guardian of the earth.

Deceive your compatriots and let the four powerful dragon guardians, the Life-Binder, the Awakener, the Lord of Time, and the Lord of Magic, inject the source of power into them.

As a result, it betrayed, and the dragon kings were unable to resist the evil artifact. The blue dragon was almost exterminated, and the other dragon legions also suffered heavy losses, but in the end they paid a heavy price and repelled the black dragon king and his black dragon legion.

But Neltharion's name has become taboo, and the dragons used the name "Deathwing" to describe it, and from then on, the dragon disappeared from history.

The red dragons were ordered to guard the demon soul, so after sensing that the artifact was touched, Auguste Traz followed the red dragon queen and immediately set off from the Ruby Sanctuary to Redridge Mountain to check, but they fell into the despicable orcs.

In the trap, after Nekros the Skullbreaker used an artifact to control the innocent Red Dragon Queen, these powerful dragons had to serve the orcs.

At first, Auguste Traz and the other dragons were not willing to succumb to the evil and savage orcs at all, but the despicable orc warlock used an artifact to whip the queen's soul. After hearing the queen's tragic cry, the dragons

Having to intervene, the red dragon army could easily destroy the entire orc army, but they couldn't do that.

Nekros is always observing their movements, and the artifact in his hand never leaves his body. With just one order, the soul of the great queen will suffer irreversible damage, which the red dragons cannot bear.

In this way, these proud and powerful creatures became prisoners of the orcs. The power that was supposed to protect life was used to destroy life. Many dragons could not bear this cruel behavior of betraying their mission and lost their souls in the resistance.

, turned into a complete killing machine, but Auguste Terraz did not give in... even though it could not end this nightmare.

Now, it is dying, after a despicable massacre. Maybe this is punishment, a punishment for violating its mission. Unfortunately... Queen, the Queen is still trapped in that fortress by those despicable orcs.

And just when the dragon was about to die, a ray of light suddenly lit up in his closed eyes. Tyrion stood beside the dragon's head and reached out to push its eyes away. The death knight looked at the dimmed eyes.

With yellow snake eyes, he shook his head and whispered in Auguste Traz's ear:

"It's such a pity that you are hopeless. Long...are you interested in making a deal with me?"

The dying red dragon heard this cold voice, and smelled the smell of death that it hated most, but it could not resist, and it did not want to answer. At this time, the dragon was overwhelmed by the pain and regret surging in its heart.

Seeing that the red dragon had no reaction, Tyrion shrugged:

"Look, I know what happened to you and your queen, I also know the terrible situation the Red Dragon Legion is facing, and I even know what those orcs did with the Demon Soul..."

"Wow"

These words made the dying red dragon suddenly open its eyes. It moved its neck with difficulty, and used its last strength to spread its wings. The movement caused its flesh and blood to scatter in all directions, and also spread the flesh and blood of the person standing on it.

Luminas was thrown to the ground, and the disgraced death knight cursed and picked up her weapon and was about to rush forward, but was stopped by Serende and Rogelio.

"Where did you know...this name?"

The red dragon's vocal cords have been blown to pieces. This is Auguste Traz's special way of transmitting his voice directly into Tyrion's spirit. You can tell it just from the tone of his voice.

He is weak, but to be honest, this red dragon can speak Salas Elvish very well.

The pair of dim yellow snake eyes stared at Tyrion, and the red dragon said weakly:

"The orcs call it the Dragon Soul... Only you, only you can tell its true name, how do you know it, dead man."

"This...you don't need to know."

Tyrion moved his wrist. The huge beast in front of him was more than 4 meters tall even if it was lying on the ground. The real adult dragon was not comparable to the weak young dragon. Even though this dragon had already returned to its glory days, if it were really

If he goes crazy, a single confrontation could probably set Tyrion's body on fire, although that would be of little use to a death knight.

"You just need to know that I can help you, dragon. I can help your queen escape from the control of the Demon Soul. I know how to destroy it... Maybe there are only two people in this world, me and Deathwing.

Know!"

The red dragon ignored the big words spoken by the death knight, and it didn't care about them. It stared at Tyrion, and a few seconds later, with the sound of dragon blood dripping, it whispered:

"Are you sure you can help us? Although you are the dead person we hate the most, if you really help the queen, you will gain the friendship of the Red Dragon Legion. Believe me, dead person, that is a glory that mortals cannot imagine."

"I'm not interested in glory, dragon."

Tyrion took a step back. He tilted his head and looked at the red dragon in front of him. A cold light flashed in his eyes:

"I'm more interested in you... You are about to die. You know this, and you also hate orcs. Why don't you cooperate? I will use your soul and your dead body to give you a second life.

..”

"Shut up!"

The red dragon scolded: "This is a blasphemy against life!"

"But this way you can participate in the rescue of the Red Dragon Queen, my dear dragon..."

Tyrion interrupted Auguste Traz's scolding, and his voice became low and hoarse, full of a dark temptation:

"Is this all your loyalty to your queen? The method is right in front of you, but you give it up because of some boring traditions, and watch your queen suffer while you find relief in death..

.Do you really think that the appetite of the orcs is just for your queen? You are wrong! Dragon, don’t forget what is in Demon’s Souls. Conquering the red dragon is just the beginning, the blue dragon, the bronze dragon, the green dragon...

Nothing can escape the clutches of those orcs!"

"Think of that terrible future!"

Tyrion snorted coldly:

"Do you really think you have a choice? You might say that the bronze dragon who knows everything will come to save Alexstrasza one day..."

The death knight's voice suddenly became cruel:

"Stop dreaming! Those bronze bastards who only live by the rigid dogma of indestructible timelines. Even if the end of the world comes, they will only accept it with their eyes closed. They will not lend a helping hand! Wake up!

, you have to rely on yourselves! Dragon, you have to find a way on your own!"

The dying red dragon fell silent, Tyrion's eyes narrowed, and he added more fire.

"Also, do you really think that you can find the demon soul you have hidden by relying on the savage orcs? Don't be stupid... Now, ten thousand years later, Deathwing has reappeared in the world, then

The orcs didn't find the thing! It was given to them by Deathwing! And you guys don't know anything about it... How stupid!"

Auguste Traz's mind has been confused by the impending death. It has tried every means to refute Tyrion, but every one of them cannot be refuted. Everything this death knight said has nothing to do with it.

It was beyond the red dragon's thinking, and if even one tenth of what he said was true... it would be enough to turn the dragon army upside down.

"I...I..."

The red dragon hesitated and could not make up his mind, and Tyrion seemed disappointed. He turned around and left without looking back.

"You can't even do this act of sacrificing yourself to save the world. The dragon is really in decline... Look at your appearance now, you really let Tyr down."

"You even know the great Tyr... Who are you? Death Knight!"

Auguste Traz asked with difficulty, Tyrion snorted:

"You don't need this, you just need to tell me, do you agree or not? Do you want to die so meaninglessly, or do you get a second chance after death to save the queen you once loved and your compatriots?"

We...in my opinion, this is a question that doesn’t need to be thought about at all.”

Tyrion waited for the red dragon's answer. After nearly 30 seconds of silence, the red dragon let out a mournful cry. The power in its body could no longer support its body. It fell to the ground, its pair of dim yellow eyes

Snake Eyes stared at Tyrion:

"Okay! I promise you!"

"But you must find a way to rescue my queen! This is an oath...I want you to swear it with your soul!"

A ball of beating light wrapped around the death knight. He knew that this was the spell of the red dragon, and its purpose was to make him swear this oath. This is a magical world, and in this world, some oaths cannot be made casually.

However, the death knight was not under any psychological pressure. He looked at the red dragon in front of him and blinked with his ice-blue eyes:

"Okay, I swear, your queen will be rescued, and within 5 years..."

The light on the death knight flashed, the contract was established, and a strange force bound his soul, making it heavier.

At the moment when the oath was established, Auguste Traz's eyes also closed, and it gave up all resistance. Tyrion waved his fingers, and the blood mages Seven and Autumn quickly stepped forward and arranged

The psychic circle is used to extract the soul of the dragon.

Grokush took a step forward and whispered:

"Is it really worth it? I made such an oath for this undead dragon..."

"It's okay, Blackhand."

There was a strange light in Tyrion's eyes. He looked at the red dragon in front of him and whispered:

"I only said that its queen would be rescued. I didn't say that I would save her myself... Don't worry, everything is under control. In addition, you should start processing the dragon's body now. Remember, the undead

Dragons don't need flesh and blood. Every trace of flesh and blood must be removed. They only need a skeleton with inscriptions carved to carry their souls. Seven and Autumn will take care of the inscriptions. You may need 3-4 days to complete it.

This matter..."

The death knight hesitated for a moment and looked back to the southeast:

"Just taking advantage of this period, I want to go out and meet at the Burning Plains in four days. Pay attention to safety and don't conflict with the Alliance tribe. Grokush, while I'm away, you and Rogge will lead everyone and watch out.

Luminas, there’s something not right about her recent state.”

"Um"

The orc death knight nodded, and after a moment, he asked again:

"Did you mean what you said to the dragon?"

"Well? Which sentence?"

"Sacrificing yourself to save the world..."

"Don't be stupid. Only fools like Red Dragon will believe this argument. If saving the world requires sacrificing the life of an innocent ranger who has nothing to do with the world, then the world is not worth saving at all! The next time someone persuades you like this

...and took out the knife and cut off his tongue!"
