Chapter 59 - Anveena
…………
The hall was solemn. Aurelia and others looked at the newly emerging person standing at the door. The Regent raised an eyebrow and asked Wen Leisa uncertainly: "Is it him?"
"Well..." General Ranger responded with a sad face. Her attention was all on the visitor. The man was standing straight.
"Let him come in!" Aurelia said loudly to the magician guard outside the hall.
The man's head hidden under his cloak seemed to respond to her, and then he strode closer until he stood in front of the three people in the hall.
The hood on his head was pressed down very low, and his face was hardly visible. He wore a simple travel jacket, but was spotless. After bowing, he stood up straight.
"Ms. Aurelia," his voice was kind and kind, but he seemed very worried, and he sounded like a frightened bird. "I'm sorry for visiting suddenly to disturb your official duties. But I have to."
As he spoke, he opened his hood. The Regent, Ranger General, and Ranger Lord all lit up. What they saw was a face that brought together the beautiful characteristics of humans and elves. The ink blue hair drooped to his shoulders, and the resolute blue eyes were shining.
However, appearance will not change Aurelia's tone to him. After all, he is not a human or an elf, but a dragon, the same species as the red dragon that burned Quel'thalas in the past. "So..." Aurelia's voice was cold and stern, "Who are you?"
"My name is Caregus," he replied, "I am the watchman sent by the Blue Dragon King Marigos to Quelthalas."
Karegoth ignited the anger hidden in the hall with one sentence. Aurelia sternly rebuked: "Surveillance? What exactly do you dragon clan want to do? Do you want to turn our homeland into ashes?"
Realizing that he had said something wrong, Karegoth quickly explained: "No, please don't get me wrong, ma'am. The Blue Dragon Legion I represent, not the Red Dragon." The mage glanced around, as if he felt uncomfortable because of the crowd's gaze. Then, he continued: "My main task is to monitor the limits of the use of magic by the high elves. After all, the Blue Dragon Legion's duty is to protect the magic of this world."
"The Sun Well was destroyed many years ago." Aurelia said impatiently, turning her head, she wanted to drive away this uninvited guest as soon as possible, and she still had important things to do.
"Actually, you have to know... the Sunwell is a huge source of energy. Even if it explodes...of course, it did disappear, but its essence is still there, and it can be stored as long as it is collected...." He ended his speech with some slight confusion.
The hall fell into a dead silence. Aurelia had completely focused her eyes on Blue Dragon since she didn't want to look at Karegoth just now. She opened her eyes wide, as shocked as Wenleza and Lothema.
"You mean, you stole the essence and hid it?" asked Rothema.
The blue dragon named Karegoth started to express his anger at Lothemahung. "I am not a thief, nor am I collecting those essences. I just protect me." Lothemah just raised his hand and signaled that Karegoth should report to the Regent in detail.
"Your Highness!" Karegoth walked up and said, "I know this will make you angry. If you want to hold me accountable, I have nothing to say, but now I have to talk to you about the essence. You must know..." He scratched his blue hair with one hand, "The power of the Sunwell is very powerful. The Blue Dragon King Marigoth has always been taboo to mortals to control too powerful magic energy, if he knows you..."
"I don't care what your master thinks, Blue Dragon." Aurelia scolded, "The Sunwell has always been the property of the people of Das Rema. Now, in the name of the Regent of Quel'thalas, I ask you to return those essences immediately, right away!"
A chill surged over Karegoth's skin, and he knew that Aurelia was not lying or acting in a hypocritical manner. He choked up, his face completely occupied by a panic expression.
"You mean, you didn't get those essences?"
The chill also penetrated into the hearts of Aurelia and others. Without waiting for the Regent to react, Lothama had already stepped forward and grabbed Caregus' collar. The Ranger Lord seemed to have forgotten the other party's identity, and he roared: "Are you saying that those essences are gone, you lost it?"
"I don't." Karegoth replied gritting his teeth, "Anvena is missing, without my knowledge." He had a claw-shaped hand, and Wenleza noticed this, and she immediately realized that the blue dragon was either ready to transform or wanted to use magic to repel Rothema. No matter which one it was, it was not what she wanted to see.
"I advise you not to move." General Ranger raised his bow and arrow and aimed at Caregus, who glared at her angrily.
"Enough!" Aurelia shouted loudly, "Lorthema, let him go."
The Ranger Lord reluctantly let go of his hand. Caregus rubbed the wrinkled corners of the collar and looked at Aurelia with anger.
"What happened to Anvena you just mentioned...?"
"That's the essence of the Sun Well. One of my companions has portrayed it as a girl. I have been protecting her and hiding her well, but... but for some reason, I went out to look for food a few days ago, and she disappeared when I came back. And I smelled the smell of your blood elves. I thought you discovered and took her away, but just now, you asked me to hand her over..."
Damn it! Aurelia cursed in her heart. She was about to accuse Karegos of her concealment from Sindore, but suddenly a scream came from outside the hall, followed by a series of stumbled footsteps.
"What's wrong outside?" Aurelia asked the guards outside. Then, two magic destroyers walked in with a panicked elf.
"Your Highness." The elf's whole body was tense, "Northern... dust smoke rose up in the north, and we lost our connection with Queldanas Island!"
"There are enemies?"
The elf did not answer, and there was no need for an answer. Aurelia was very clear. She looked at her pale compatriots and looked at Karegoth. She vaguely felt that this was also related to the Blue Dragon, and her face gradually changed. "What the hell is wrong?"
"I saw a dragon flying towards the Sunwell, and then something went wrong."
"Guard, catch this spy." Lothama shouted at Caregus.
"No! Wait, there must be a misunderstanding here."
"Misunderstanding, you dare to attack our holy land with great courage and try to get the essence of the Sun Well." Wen Leisa never put down the bow and arrow in her hand. Now, she pulled the bow string tighter.
Caregus wanted to argue, but the situation was extremely bad for him at this time. He was surrounded by the guards outside the hall. In desperation, Blue Dragon placed his last hope on Aurelia, hoping that the Regent could give him a chance to explain.
Aurelia looked at him and read out that his expression was not a disguise. And asking him to say a few more words was not a waste of time.
"See your last chance, Karegoth, or bear the anger of Sindore."
Karegoth breathed a sigh of relief, he nodded quickly, and after he swallowed it, he said, "I am indeed more than the monitor of Quel'thalas, and one of my colleagues, Matigosha. Your people must have seen her, but she cannot attack you for no reason."
"That may also be because she also felt that we had snatched the essence of the Sun Well, and she wanted to force us to hand over what we originally belonged to."
"Then why not attack Silver Moon City directly?" Karegos glared at Lothama. This question was very critical and made it impossible for everyone to answer for a while.
"So what do you think of your colleague's behavior?" Aurelia asked immediately.
