Chapter 98 Your protection has nothing to do with me
According to Crassus's vision, the best candidate to save the queen should be: a young boy who is capable but has no scheming intentions.
Go deep into Grim Batol and rescue the Red Dragon Queen from the orcs who have mastered the artifact and can control the dragon. It is clear that this is a life-threatening operation.
This kind of risking one's life is destined not to be relied upon by a rationalist with a high status.
As for Li De, it was a coincidence that he had both of the above points.
Moreover, there is another aspect that Krasus is most worried about: the Aspect Dragon must not be related to political strongmen.
The duty of the Aspect Dragon is to protect Azeroth, not to protect a specific force. Since the era of the Troll Empire, the power of the mortal race has been seen by the dragons.
Some powerful monarchs possess such power that even giant dragons will be afraid of it. If a leader with lust obtains the power of a giant dragon, it will most likely lead to unimaginable consequences!
The queen accidentally fell into the hands of the orcs, which has caused huge damage to Azeroth. Therefore, Krasus always had a tight thread in his heart. While saving the queen, he must also be careful not to let the demon soul fall into the hands of another
At the hands of a more powerful and evil personality.
Although I had previously learned from Buckromworth that Li De had been blessed by the Bronze Dragon King; through the conversation just now, I had initially recognized Li De.
But on some issues, Crassus believed that no amount of caution could be too much.
In the Dragon Sleep Temple, under the gaze of so many pairs of eyes, Krasus believed that it would be extremely difficult for Li De to say something against his will. They must know Li De's true thoughts.
Li De really didn't expect that Crassus and the others would think about the problem in such detail. Of course, even if he knew it, Li De would not feel any pressure.
"My motivation...because the queen is the guardian dragon.
The Aspect Dragon is an important force in maintaining the balance of Azeroth. Queen Alexstrasza's imprisonment is equivalent to a piece of the sky missing, and the chain reaction it triggers is quite terrifying.
Everything has its place, and the responsibility of the dragon cannot be replaced by other races. For the safety of this world and my personal safety, it is necessary to save the queen."
Krasus tilted his head slightly, and a trace of doubt flashed in his yellow eyes. He really didn't believe that the reason was so simple, and he looked at the eldest Trastrasza.
The steward of the Dragon Council nodded slightly, but then shook his head again.
Krasus was completely confused. What happened to this meticulous lady? But before Krasus could raise any questions, Trastrasza took the initiative to ask Li De.
"Hero of the human race, your words are very sincere, but I can feel that there are still some words you have left in your heart, right?"
Li De secretly exclaimed, thinking helplessly that he was indeed a giant dragon, but some words were not appropriate to say at this time. But in front of so many giant dragons, Li De asked himself that he could not tell lies.
"What I'm going to say next is likely to irritate you all..."
Faced with Li De's argument, Crassus and Trastrasza all assumed a calm posture. They also wanted to hear what Li De had to say.
"As I said before, the guardian dragon carries the safety of the world, so the dragon's affairs are never just the dragon's own business.
The Aspect Dragon is closely connected with other races in the world. Every move you make may have a major impact on the world.
Do you really realize how important your responsibilities are? Take this Demon's Soul theft incident as an example. The Queen actually did not have to suffer this disaster.
Please allow me to say something extremely disrespectful. The Queen's disaster is the Red Dragon Legion's dereliction of duty."
A kind of red dragon headed by Krasus originally thought that Li De was just exaggerating: Humans are too insignificant for them. Will you be angered by the constant ants?
But they never expected that what Li De said would have an extraordinary effect.
The queen was imprisoned by the orcs, which was a shame to the Red Dragon Legion. Now Li De has characterized this matter as a failure of the Red Dragon Legion. Doesn't that mean that it is not only a shame, but also their fault!
"Nonsense! This is all the conspiracy of those orcs!"
Many red dragons roared suddenly. The roar of one giant dragon was as loud as thunder. So many giant dragons roared together that the entire Longmian Temple wanted to shake.
"I hope you can give us a reasonable explanation..."
Krasus tried his best to suppress his anger. If the blame for the queen's suffering was placed on the Red Dragon Legion, what qualifications did he have to continue to be the queen's consort?
It’s just that he really doesn’t understand that the Demon Soul was stolen and the Red Dragon Legion reacted immediately. The only blame for the Queen’s suffering can only be blamed on the Demon Soul’s absolute suppression of the dragon. Who can say that?
Is this a dereliction of duty by the Red Dragon Legion?!
Seeing that Krasus still had sense and was willing to let himself explain, Li De let out a sigh of relief. This was also thanks to the fact that these were benevolent red dragons in front of him. Their duty was to protect lives, and they would not harm Jiefang no matter what.
Li De of Red Dragon.
Li De took a deep breath. What he was going to say next was crucial. This was by no means a matter of rhetoric and arrogance, but it was likely to be related to the safety of the world.
"Since the Demon Soul has the ability to absolutely suppress dragons, after such a dangerous thing was stolen, why did she agree to the Queen's personal investigation?!"
Krasus opened his mouth to speak, but Li De shook his head.
"You're just lucky, thinking that it's just a few thieves. Even if you steal the Demon Soul, you will never be able to use it?
But haven’t you ever thought about what if the other party has a premeditated plan? Facing an artifact that is destined to be irresistible, how can you ignore the queen and take risks?!"
What Li De said made all the red dragons speechless.
"You should know what the Aspect Dragon means to Azeroth. There are so many races that are still in ignorance, which is equivalent to leaving the safety of the race in your hands without knowing it.
Behind every decision you make, there are actually other races sharing the risk. It is because of this mistake: the dragon! He became the helper of the orcs!
Giant dragons! A few of them can destroy a legion! In the Second Orc War, do you know how much disaster it brought to the human race? Those giant dragons should have been on our side to fight against the aliens together.
World invaders, fight against the minions of the devil!"
In front of these extremely long-lived giant dragons, it was destined to be impossible to hide, so Li De simply poured the beans out of a bamboo tube.
It's just that the red dragons now would rather Li De tell lies to them.
"Protector Li De, from a human perspective, I can understand your feelings. But are you telling us not to pursue the Demon Soul?
Do you know what Demon's Soul means? Behind it is the nightmare of a world, do you want us to ignore it?!"
Unexpectedly, the first person who couldn't help but refute would be Buck Romworth. He has the closest relationship with Li De, but he will never be ambiguous when it comes to maintaining the dignity of the Red Dragon Legion.
Li De was not angry at his friend's rebuttal, but spoke very seriously.
"Of course I'm not saying that we can't track down the Demon Soul, but this thing poses too great a threat to the dragon. Why didn't you try entrusting other races to it at that time?"
"Such an important thing! How could it be entrusted to others..."
Lord Defrestaz, who was specifically responsible for commanding the battle, roared angrily, but as he said this, he felt ashamed. He was unwilling to entrust other races to track down the demon soul. Now that the Queen is suffering, it is useless to not want to turn to other races for help.
It's realistic.
Looking at the red dragons in the entire temple, Li De suddenly felt serious in his words.
"I can understand everyone's concerns, and I don't want to leave my own safety to others. Demon's Soul allows foreigners to investigate. As a giant dragon, you must be worried, right?
Maybe what I say today is very abrupt, because I am just a human being, because I have just met you for the first time, because I am just a heroic warrior, and my words may be insignificant in front of the entire dragon army.
But I really don’t understand that the birth of Demon’s Soul happened 10,000 years ago.
Ten thousand years, such a long time, is it impossible for the giant dragon to establish mutual trust with even one race?
Why should you protect a world that none of you can trust?
Is there really no race in the world you protect that can be trusted by you like Tier once trusted you?"
