Chapter Thirty-Eight - Transactions on the Hilltop
…………
It is said that the dragon clan is a proud creature, but Crasus is willing to use magic to bring Nathanos to the top of a mountain, where the view is wide and silent, which is very suitable for secret conversation.
"What do you want to say, it's best to hurry up, time is precious!"
"Do you know, I've been surprised by so many people returning ten thousand years, but they are all understandable, just like that orc Brox. I know he came back here with me and Ronin, but what about you? How did you return to this era?" Crassus was very much like the judge in the court, treating Nathanos as a criminal.
"You are interrogating me, Crasus? Why should I answer your question? You should pray that I am not your enemy now, or I will donate your bones to the Explorer Association!"
"I don't think you understand your current situation, the dead. Do you know that your words and deeds here may change the world ten thousand years later!"
Nathanos laughed loudly, "Do you think I'm so scared, Red Dragon?"
Crasus was angry. He, who always claimed to be a wizard, also had blue veins exposed. "This is not a threat, but a warning! If you dare to do something wrong here, I will erase you!"
"The giant dragon that cannot even recover its shape will dare to speak loudly!"
"What? Why are you..." Crasus surprised, "It's Ronin..."
"Stop guessing. If you want to threaten me, it is not easier to become a dragon form, and you did nothing but language. In addition, I heard from Brox that when he came to this era, he was very weak, which is enough to show that you are the same as him."
Crasus nodded helplessly. After ten thousand years, he never turned back to the way he was when he was a dragon.
"What's more, a powerful god told me that no matter what I do here, I can't change what has happened." Nathanos opened his hands and showed Crasus his undead body.
"Nonsense! Who told you..." Crasus's eyes turned cold and he immediately thought of something, "Is it the Lich King?"
"Don't mention this name in front of me, I can only tell you that I am not the Lich King's lackey!" Nathanos responded gritting his teeth.
"Who said this to you?" Crasus was waiting for the undead's answer, and at the same time his mind was running rapidly. He could not think of anyone other than the Lich King, who would give a guide to the undead?
Nathanos remembered the majestic body of Xuanniu Sauce. He vaguely felt that the power of the god was not inferior to that of Cenarius, but he could not confirm his thoughts.
"It has nothing to do with you!"
"you!!!"
The Red Dragon Mage glared at him, and just as Nathanos thought he was victorious, Crassus's face also showed the same smile, giving the undead a bad premonition.
"The flaws are mutual, innocent undead! You can spy on my secrets, and I know you very well!"
When he heard the last sentence, Nathanos subconsciously raised the bow and arrow, and Crasus was obviously prepared, and a fireball gathered in his hands. The undead's impulse to attack the mage came from knowing what Crasus was going to say next. Without his expectation, the Red Dragon called out his name.
"Nathanos Maris!"
"How did you know?" asked the undead.
"You're starting to get nervous!"
"This won't affect my shooting through your head with one arrow!" Nathanos pulled the bowstring, and Crassus had realized that if he didn't do anything, he would really fight Nathanos.
"The Red Dragon's duty is to overlook the life of the entire continent of Azeroth. Since Lordaeron became a paradise for the undead, Her Majesty the Queen of Alextasa has been very concerned about the situation there. He sent me to monitor that land. Coincidentally, I happened to witness the process of your burial by your lover, and also saw your determination to climb out of the ruins of Marys Farm."
After hearing this, Nathanos slowly let go. He thought that Brox had betrayed him, but the orcs did not do so. These words evoked the darkest memory of Nathanos's life. It was a tragedy and another journey. Asxs. In order to avoid the pain brought to him by memory, Nathanos chose to imprison his past self forever in his heart. For this reason, he even chose to forget his name. He wanted to give himself a new name, but could not find a suitable one. And now... his name, plus the surname that made him deeply guilty, all jumped out of the other person's mouth, and it was likely to become a bargaining chip for the other party to threaten him, because Nathanos didn't want the world to remember him again.
"What do you want to do?" The undead's hand was completely put down.
"I'm finally willing to speak well." Crasus took back the magic in his hand. "I can't tell others, especially those you know, about you're still alive."
"I'm dead!"
"Okay, okay! You're dead, it's obvious. I want to make a deal with you."
The undead turned his face to the side and said impatiently: "I'm listening!"
"Don't act without permission. From now on, you and that orc Brox Sarufal must obey my orders! Do you understand?"
This request made Nathanos clench his fists. He really wanted to kill Crasus now. He had the chance to do so, but he could not explain to Ronin that if Ronin told others about this, he would lose all his trust.
"I can't make the decision, you still have to ask Brox for his advice."
"Don't worry!" Crasus snapped his fingers, his smile exactly the same as the smile Nathanos had just thought he was going to win in this verbal battle, but when the two ended differently. "During the time when you and I were arguing, Malfurion was persuading the orc, and the druid saved his life, so it was easy to make Brox agree. Do you think he is willing to cooperate with a dead soul or with the living?"
Nathanos's lips, hiding behind the scarf, smiled bitterly, "It seems that all this is in your plan, right? I really underestimated you, Red Dragon, but you must be careful, you know my identity, this is a time bomb tied to you. If one day you break your promise, I will kill you with my own hands!"
The undead turned around and prepared to leave. He didn't care what Crasus thought. He just wanted the dragon to remember his words.
“There’s a little more.”
The red dragon frowned. Nathanos' threatening words just now made him angry, but now he seemed to have other requests.
"Brox...is different from you!"
