Taking advantage of Onyxia and Talygosa's taunting each other, Sarlay shook off the blue dragon princess's grasp without leaving a trace, and quietly escaped with Tina.
The two dragon princesses focused most of their energy on their competitors and did not notice...or in other words, they did not have the energy to pay attention to Sarlayan's whereabouts for the time being.
Arriving at the central area of the Demonic Hub, Sarlayan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Huh~ Let them confront each other slowly. Let's go to Malygos to talk about business first."
"correct."
On the way to the Eye of Eternity, Sarlayan greeted the dragonmen passing by and asked Tina Gosa curiously: "What did you mean by what you said before? Is there anyone in the Demonic Nexus who is unwilling to let go?"
Are you leaving?"
"emmmmm..."
Tina, who was sitting on Sarlayan's shoulder, showed a very troubled expression: "You will know soon...she is already here."
"Come? Who is coming?"
Sarlayan looked up and looked around in confusion. Apart from a bunch of blue dragons who maintained the daily order of the Demonic Nexus, only the dragon concubine Saragosa walked over quickly with a dumbfounded look on her face and planned to greet Sarlayan.
Taligosa was not a full-time receptionist, and meeting her was just an accident. She was named Dragon Concubine, but was actually the Dragon Queen.
The three of Sharlayan were delayed for a while by Talygosa. After receiving the news, Talygosa hurried over to try to clean up the mess.
Fortunately, Sharlayan got rid of the Shura Field in advance and appeared in front of Saragosa with all his beard and tail, which finally made her breathe a sigh of relief.
Just as Sarlayan was waving to say hello to Saragosa, Tina suddenly subconsciously hugged Sarlayan's head tightly.
Sarlayan: "Huh?"
Saragosa (ecstatic): "My little Tina! You are finally back!"
Before Sharlayan could recover, Saragosa flashed in front of Sharlayan like a gust of wind, and forcefully took Tinagosa off his neck and hugged him into his arms.
Sarlayan: "???"
【What a quick move!】
[So that’s the case, no wonder Little Tina doesn’t want to return to the Demonic Hub. 】
Seeing Saragosa hugging Tina and rubbing her face fiercely, Sarlayan tapped his forehead with his finger in a funny way.
"So that's what happened."
Even though she had expected it, Tina still had an expression of despair at this moment.
Sarlayan held back his laughter and asked Tina through the soul link: "When did her symptoms begin?"
Tina Gosa: "...it started when I was promoted to a young dragon and transformed into a dwarf."
【I understand!】
[Beast! What do you know now? 】
[Bah! I’m too lazy to talk nonsense with you, just listen to what I’m talking about.]
[Due to Malygos’ madness for ten thousand years, the dragon concubine Saragosa has yet to emerge, and has never been able to take the position of dragon queen. 】
[This kind of old aunt who has no children... How do you think she will react when she sees a pretty little girl? 】
【Oh oh oh! Master! I understand!】
[After all, it was Tina who chose the dwarf-shaped pot, which hit Saragosa’s sensitive area. 】
"Cough~"
Sarlayan received Tina's distress signal and deliberately coughed to remind Her Royal Highness Long Fei to pay attention to her manners in front of outsiders.
It's a pity that, considering the almost certain relationship between Sharlayan and Little Star, Saragosa really didn't treat him as an outsider and simply ignored Sharlayan's prompts.
Sharlayan helplessly spread his hands to Tinagosa: "I'm sorry, I tried my best."
"Tsk~"
Tina was a little irritated and complained in the soul link channel: "Useless guy!"
Fortunately, as the de facto second-in-command of the blue dragon, Zaragosa did not let her personal feelings show for a long time.
After holding Tina Gosa and sucking her full belly, she gradually returned to the mature and elegant posture she displayed in front of others.
When Saragosa reluctantly let go of the doll-like Tina, the freed little guy immediately ran away, grabbed Sarayan's clothes and pants and climbed up, skillfully climbing to his neck.
Seeing Tina wrapping her hands and feet around Sarlayan and staring at her warily, Saragosa smiled helplessly.
"I'm sorry for showing you the inappropriate side... Anyway, let's get back to business first."
The slightly arrogant expression on Saragosa's face quickly subsided, and she smiled and said to Sharlayan: "Malygos already knows your purpose of coming. Please come with me. He and Senegos are in the Eternity."
I’m waiting for you.”
…
The Eye of Eternity is a special alien space opened by Malygos in the Demonic Nexus. It was originally used to seal himself to prevent himself from hurting other blue dragons when he went mad.
When Sharlayan entered the Eye of Eternity for the first time, except for the focusing rainbow in the center of the platform, the entire space was dark and there was nothing around him.
As Malygos's madness gradually improved, he adopted Senegos's suggestions and rearranged the environment within the Eye of Eternity.
Visiting the Eye of Eternity again, Sarlayan and Tina were surprised to find that the place had completely changed.
The Focusing Iris was suspended in mid-air by Malygos to simulate the sun, and its soft light illuminated most of the area within the Eye of Eternity.
Green grass covers the ground, and various flowers and plants are planted on the vast lawn. The entire space is decorated into an artificial garden.
As usual, Malygos and Senegos are still arguing with each other, and Sharlayan and Tinargosa are already used to this.
Perhaps because of the visit of guests, both Malygos and Senegos took on mortal forms today.
Malygos's human form is a blue-haired high elf. Senegos chose the night elf over the competition. He also has blue hair, but some subtle differences can be seen in the hair color of the two.
The blue of Malygos is as blue as the sky, while the blue of Senegos is darker, and there is even a slight gradient of color on the ends of the hair.
Due to Senegos' age and the embarrassed posture he had when they first met, Sharlayan always felt that the old blue dragon was already senile, and fully expected that he would transform into an older image.
However, this is not the case.
Dragons all have infinite lifespans. The so-called oldness only refers to their mentality.
For example, the red dragon Talan I met before took the form of a white-haired middle-aged man, looking calm and restrained.
After his family moved back to the Nexus, Senegos was freed from the burdens that had previously weighed on his shoulders, and his true nature was finally revealed.
To put it simply, this old blue dragon is a typical person with an old heart. The days of bickering with Malygos all day reminded him of the long past, and his mentality became younger than before.
The same goes for Malygos.
There is an old buddy who can quarrel with each other without any scruples, and the frequency of his madness attacks is getting less and less. As long as Deathwing, the last knot in his heart, can be solved, the Blue Dragon King can say goodbye to the shadow of the past.
Noticing that Zaragosa had already ushered the guests in, Malygos and Senegos immediately stopped arguing.
Senegos smiled and opened his arms to Tina: "My little Tina, how have you been lately? Sharlayan has not treated you and little Xingxing badly, has he?"
After all, he was his own grandfather, so Tinagosa did not resist like she did when she faced Saragosa.
After jumping off Sharlayan, the little guy ran quickly with his short legs and jumped into the arms of Senegos.
"Grandpa, Stella and I are living very well. I have made great progress recently!"
"Oh~ Very good, I feel relieved now."
As the grandfather and grandson reminisced about old times, Malygos waved to Thalayan to sit in front of him.
"Shalayan, are you here to inquire about Kel'Thuzad and the Lich King?"
Sharlayan nodded solemnly: "Yes, please also ask His Majesty Malygos to inform you of the latest development."
Malygos waved his hand freely: "Don't be so formal, just relax."
"Kel'Thuzad is currently wandering in the Dragon Wilds and is expected to reach the Grizzly Hills across the snowfields in a week's time."
Malygos' originally relaxed expression became a little more serious: "According to Azoregus's secret observation, Kel'Thuzad often murmurs something alone on the road recently. We suspect that he has begun to communicate with the lich.
Wang made the connection.”
"Do you have any words to mutter...?"
Sarlayan narrowed his eyes slightly and said thoughtfully: "The spiritual connection with the Lich King does not require words to be spoken. So... Kel'Thuzad is deliberately giving us a hint?"
Malygos nodded in agreement: "I think so too. The Lich you chose is indeed very capable. If he can successfully penetrate into the undead of natural disasters, the Lich King will not be able to make any big splash.
Come."
Sarlayan smiled confidently: "This is what I expected. Every move of the Lich King will be under our surveillance, and the Scourge will become an important pawn for us to paralyze the Burning Legion."
