When Kael'thas teleported Sharlayan and Valeela to the Tower of Dragonfire to meet Krasus, the red dragon with the appearance of a high elf no longer had the shadow of Elecos next to him.
Alecos is Alette Moonsoul who met Sharlayan before in the Eversong Forest and gave him the dragon flute.
At this time, he repeated his old tricks and used his superb arcane control to hide his existence. In fact, he was standing in the corner of the living room, watching silently with his arms folded.
After some pleasantries that are customary when mages come and go, Kael'thas finally brought the topic to the point.
"Crasus, I have two purposes for coming to visit you this time."
"The first is the rescue of the Red Dragon Queen mentioned before, and the second...is related to Modera."
Krasus raised his eyebrows slightly, and as his mind raced, he quickly understood what Kael'thas meant.
"Modra has been making a lot of little moves recently. If she hadn't been worried about something else, I would have sternly reminded her of Dalaran's purpose."
Although Dalaran is a magical kingdom of humans, the establishment of this city-state was inseparable from the help of the high elves.
If the high elves had not taken the lead in establishing the Council of Tirisfal, Dalaran would have been torn to pieces by a large number of demons attracted by the abuse of arcane magic by human mages more than 2,000 years ago.
Although there is no explicit regulation, the status of high elves in Dalaran has always been quite transcendent. It is this special status and the arrogant nature of high elves that has attracted the dissatisfaction of human mages.
Modera is just the epitome of the attitude of human mages in Dalaran towards foreign races, and she is by no means the only great humanist.
Krasus sees all the conflicts between humans and foreign mages. Although technically he is also a member of the foreign race, as a noble member of the Guardian Dragon Clan, Krasus has no interest in participating in the intrigues between mortals.
.
However, it would be a different matter if the interest transactions involved Alexstrasza.
The hidden communication between the two made Sarlayan sound a little difficult. Fortunately, the barrage boss helped translate and interpret it.
After initially reaching a consensus, the two began to discuss the rescue plan in detail.
Kael'thas: "I am willing to provide whatever help I can to rescue the Red Dragon Queen. These two..."
The high elf prince introduced Sarlayan and Valeela to Krasus: "They are the special envoys sent by my father to Dalaran to assist me. They will participate in the entire rescue operation."
Krasus's eyes turned into the vertical pupils of a giant dragon for a moment, and he could see through Valeela's true identity at a glance, but when it was Sharlayan's turn, Krasus showed an unexpected expression on his face.
He actually couldn't see through the specific strength of this half-elf.
'Wait, half-elf? Could it be...'
Recalling some information that Alecos told him not long ago, Krasus looked at Sarlayan with a deep look.
Valeela's strength is a little weaker, but she is a skilled thief, and no one expected her to play a big role in a frontal battle.
Since there is no requirement for combat effectiveness, she is the perfect professional counterpart to participate in this secret infiltration operation.
'The hybrid half-dragon will not be restricted by the dragon soul. He has a powerful body inherited from the dragon clan and should be able to play an important role in infiltration operations.'
After weighing it in his mind, Krasus smiled noncommittally: "Both of these two are rare talents, but just the two of them may not be enough when facing a head-on battle."
Kael'thas smiled and nodded in agreement: "Yes, I have also considered this. I have arranged for the familiar to go out and deliver the message, and the last member will be brought back soon."
Kael'thas' familiar is an elemental phoenix named Ao, which flies very fast.
While several people were still wrangling at the Tower of Dragon Flame, Phoenix Ao, who was responsible for delivering the letter, had already caught up with the high elf reinforcements still in Hillsbrad and delivered the letter to a female ranger who was educating her younger brother.
Although Crassus didn't know who Kael'thas had chosen, he probably wouldn't make a joke about this important matter and choose someone randomly.
"Just in time, I have also confirmed a core member here...Luo Ning, come here."
"Yes, mentor."
The door to the living room opened, and a young human mage with fluffy red hair walked in respectfully.
"Congressman Kael'thas, I am... uh?"
When Ronin raised his head to introduce himself solemnly, he suddenly saw two very familiar people behind Kael'thas.
Valeela smiled and waved to Luo Ning: "I haven't seen you for a while, Master Luo Ning. You look much better than before."
Since he was told by Crassus to entertain distinguished guests, Ronin specially changed into a neat set of robes, and his messy hair was also taken care of.
"you……"
The corner of Luo Ning's mouth twitched a little, and he couldn't help complaining in his heart: 'Since we know that we will meet again in this way, why did you have to go to my residence before...'
In this regard, Sarlayan could only say that plans could not keep up with changes, and he was not a prophet. Even with the help of barrages, it was impossible to predict everything accurately.
Kael'thas saw Ronin's embarrassment, and looked back at Sarlayan and Valeera with surprise.
"Do you know each other?"
Sarlayan nodded: "That's right, but it's not important. Let's continue talking about business."
"Mr. Krasus, including Ronin, the team already has 4 members."
"Considering the current chaotic magic network structure and war situation in the Eastern Kingdom, teleportation cannot be effective, and it is not safe to set off from the ground. We need flying vehicles that can quickly reach the destination."
Sarlayan's pointed look made Krasus feel a little hairy.
'This boy...doesn't he want me to turn into a dragon and carry them there?'
"Ahem~ I understand what you mean, but unfortunately, due to the influence of the dragon soul, the dragons do not dare to approach Grim Batol easily. I have other plans for this."
"As far as I know, there is another hidden reason behind the imprisonment of the Red Dragon Queen. I heard that this is a trap set by the fallen Black Dragon King, Deathwing."
"In order to ensure a smooth escape after completing the rescue operation, we hope to receive a guarantee that we will survive the wrath of Deathwing after completing the mission."
The exposure of Sarlayan caused varying degrees of changes in the expressions of several people present, and Krasus stared at him with a sharp look.
"This news...where did you hear it?"
"Ha~"
Sarlayan pretended to be mysterious and sneered: "Don't underestimate Quel'Thalas' intelligence network and knowledge reserves."
The expressions of Valeela and Kael'thas did not change much, but their hearts were confused.
‘How come I didn’t know about this information?’ x2
Leaving aside the source of the intelligence, Krasus admitted that Sarlayan's concerns were justified.
Krasus had long suspected why the orcs, as outsiders, could accurately find the altar where the dragon soul was sealed?
Now the answer is revealed, it is Deathwing who is behind this.
You can guess with your buttocks that Deathwing, who is hiding behind the scenes and planning everything, must have other plans. He cannot just watch the Red Dragon Queen escape from trouble. There is a high probability that he will show up in person to stop her at the last moment.
Under Alegos' comfort, Krasus calmed down.
"Deathwing is the common enemy of all dragons."
"As long as you can destroy the dragon soul and release the essence power of the four-color dragon sealed in the artifact, I guarantee that the dragon reinforcements will arrive in time."
"Deathwing, the most despicable traitor in the history of the Dragon Clan..."
Thinking of the harm Alexstrasza suffered in this conspiracy, Krasus's face became very gloomy.
"This time, he will pay with his life for his shameful act of betraying his own people!"
