…………

Ji Firepaw was one of the first pandaren to join the Horde. He waited in front of the throne room. As the door opened, he bowed to the newcomers. His eyes sparkled with joy when he saw that the Blight Ones were willing to meet him alone.

Glory. Even during the Battle of Orgrimmar, he and Nathanos had never met.

"Thank you for meeting me, Your Majesty the Withered One." Ji said, "Thank you."

Nathanos looked calm on the surface, but he also felt a little trembled by this title in his heart.

"I'm not the king yet." He said, "Even if I were, I'm not your king." He smiled and raised a hand. "Okay, Master Huojin. Don't be formal. Please tell me why you are looking for me.

."

"I'm here for personal matters." Ji replied. His usually funny voice now sounded a bit serious, making people feel his nervousness and worry.

Nathanos could see that he had been injured before, and it was a very serious injury. There were also damages in some places on the fur. "I guess it has something to do with what happened to you, right?"

The pandaren nodded, "When I joined the Horde, it was during the period when Garrosh was the warchief. I have to say that the previous warchief made many mistakes. But that was only his personal reason, and not all orcs did the same.

as same as him."

"So you are here to discuss the issue of prisoners with me? It seems that you are more enthusiastic than Eitrigg and Rokan. But please don't worry, I will definitely release those prisoners. I mean, hand them over to the tribe.

"

Ji's footsteps swayed and he whispered: "Everyone?"

The Withered One opened his eyes slightly, and gradually understood the reason why Ji came to find him. But how did the Pandaren know? Blackso's operations should be top secret. "You want to ask... Nazgrin?"

"Yes. I was interrogated by Garrosh's soldiers. If it weren't for Nazgrin, I might have died long ago." Ji said, and went on to explain the Blighter's doubts. "After the war, I asked around

There is no news about him. The people in Woking did not find his body. And the Alliance did not spread the news that he was defeated. So I think he should still be alive. From what I know about him, he will not escape. He may only be killed.

Captured. The Alliance did not take any prisoners. He was not among the prisoners of war of the Horde. So, your people must have captured him. The Forsaken know how to keep secrets, don’t they?”

Crisp applause rang out from Nathanos's hands. This action showed that he had recognized Ji's inference. "Wonderful," he said, "Pandaren can always surprise me."

Nathanos knew that Hellscream once promoted segregation in Orgrimmar. After suffering so much unequal treatment, Ji was still interceding for Garrosh's followers. It seemed that the pandaren had no intention of asking for help.

Leave the tribe. This is worthy of admiration.

"Will you let him go?" Ji asked, but Nathanos' glances left and right made him realize that he might not get a good answer.

"As you said, Nazgrim is a brave orc who values ​​honor. I admire this about him and that's why I decided to capture him alive. Vol'jin or Saurfang must also value him."

"So, if you release him, you will definitely be appreciated by the tribe, right?"

"I am not a philanthropist, but a leader, Master of Fire and Metal." The Blighter said, "Everything I do must seek the best interests of the Forgotten. If I return Nazgrin to

The Horde, Vol'jin or others will just say thank you. But what if I hand him over to the Alliance?"

A trace of fear flashed through Ji's eyes.

"The Alliance has always been resentful of my capture of Lordaeron. The Forsaken's immediate priority is to repair relations with them. I believe Nazgrim is a good gift to the Alliance."

"Have you made your decision?" The Pandaren's expression couldn't be called panic, but it wasn't much different.

"It was a wise decision for Vol'jin to send you here. I thought no one in the Horde cared about Nazgrim's fate anymore." Nathanos walked to the throne and sat down. "The conversation on the negotiating table is a deal.

Master Ji is all about satisfaction and compromise. In the end, a consensus is reached. My decision on Nazgrin has not yet been established, because I believe that the tribe will give me a better choice. You know what I mean."

"Chief Wo'jin will definitely bring Nazgrin back." Ji took a step forward, his eagerness evident in his words.

Nathanos nodded in agreement. "I believe this too, but if he doesn't pay anything, I can only act as a blind man."

"I'll write to Chief Woking right now. I'll go right away."

"I have news that I think I shouldn't hide from you." Nathanos suddenly spoke, causing Ji to stop when he walked to the door. The panda turned back and looked at him curiously.

"Your good friend, Aisha Yunge, is also in the alliance mission. I think she is here to see you."

Just as she chose the Horde in the same season, Elsa was the first pandaren to join the Alliance. Different choices caused a gap between the two, but the deep care the two pandaren have for each other is obvious.

"Are you telling the truth?"

Nathanos nodded with a slight smile.

"I heard that you and she came from the same mentor." Nathanos walked through the door before him. "Seize this opportunity. Since you are in different camps, the time you spend together is precious."

…

Alexstrasza always felt that someone was following her, but when she turned around, she saw nothing. This feeling had been there since she left Vermilion Sanctuary, passed through the wetlands, and then passed through Hillsbrad Foothills.

.

The Red Dragon Queen thought that if she was an enemy, she would have launched an attack long ago. Why has there been no movement yet? The most important thing is that she cannot get rid of the opponent. Even if she has penetrated deep into the territory of the Forgotten, she will be attacked by others.

The feeling of being stalked still hasn't faded.

"Who is it? Come out! I know you are looking at me." Alexstrasza, who turned into an elf, shouted to the surroundings. But everything in Silverpine Forest was as calm as usual.

In this way, she could only find the other party by herself. Alexstrasza raised her hands and tried to talk to the forest. Soon, life energy began to spread from under her feet. The flowers and plants that came into contact with this energy responded to her,

Until the energy covers the other pair of feet.

Right in front of you! Alexstrasza was shocked. She immediately turned to a large tree that was half hidden in front of her and said, "Come out."

A part of the big tree suddenly separated from the main body and slowly turned into a human form. The Red Dragon Queen was also ready to fight at this time, because the opponent was a twilight dragon. Like her, the twilight dragon was also in mortal form.

.

"You are..." Alexstrasza felt that the other person was somewhat familiar. "Who are you?"

Ultraxion's pale and delicate face was half-hidden in the setting sun, but even so, Alexstrasza saw tension in his trembling lips.

"Mother." Twilight Dragon said in the lowest voice. Even these two words could not conceal his excitement.

The Life-Binder must have heard his words. She looked shocked and incomprehensible. The afterglow of the setting sun made her ruby ​​eyes brighter. She could not utter a word, not a word, as if she was possessed by some evil magic.

Constrained thoughts.

"Father will be here soon, but I think you must have a lot to say. I... am not suitable here." Ultraxion took a deep breath, took a step back, and disappeared into the air. This time

Alexstrasza couldn't feel him anymore.

In the name of Titan. Mother? What the hell is going on? Why would he call her that?

"Uldraxion!"

This voice made Alexstrasza turn around suddenly. Or she realized that the owner of the name she heard was the twilight dragon just now.

And the person who called out that name also came to her.

They were all a little surprised to see each other. Especially the Red Dragon Queen. She thought that there was something wrong with her senses. The undead in front of her had a variety of powers mixed with them, except for the lack of death.

"It's you!" Nathanos said, looking around. There was no one else around. "Where's Ultraxion? What did you do to him?"

Alexstrasza carefully looked at the person in front of her. Those eyes, those hands, and this body with no visible signs of decay. "Who are you?"

"Kalegos should have told you that I reshaped my body."

Nathanos? The Red Dragon Queen understood. She was a little happy for him, but she was also surprised by his changes. Especially since he had two completely different powers in his body, one was unsettling and the other

It is full of miracles.

"How did you know I was here?" she asked.

The Blighter slowly approached and passed Alexstrasza. Now she was even more sure that Nathanos did not smell of death.

"I'm here to find another person. He was here just now. Have you seen him?"

"That twilight dragon? He just said that his father is coming, does he mean you?" Alexstrasza answered, staring at Nathanos with an incredible look. Then her breath suddenly stopped.

Stopped. Ultraxion not only said the word 'father', but also said 'mother' to her.

A dark memory came to mind. In Grim Batol, she had been united with a mortal once.

No, this is impossible, it is simply ridiculous. When she gave birth to the three dragon eggs, she checked that they would not hatch at all. How could it be...

"He does have your power in him." Nathanos said, "The life force of the guardian dragon."

"Nonsense, those three dragon eggs will not hatch at all. Not to mention he is a twilight dragon." Alexstrasza had to suspect that this was Nathanos's conspiracy, but how could he tame a twilight dragon?

? Is he already so powerful?

"You forgot who created the Twilight Dragon." Nathanos closed his eyes and turned his gaze to a place where Ultraxion should have disappeared just now.

Deathwing! The Red Dragon Queen covered her mouth with her hands.

"He was originally the ultimate weapon used by the World Destroyer to deal with the Aspect Dragon. Unfortunately..." The Blighter must admit that whenever he thinks of Deathwing using the dragon eggs with his bloodline to create the Twilight Dragon, he will always be confused.

Some fear. "I was the one who stopped him, and it was I who allowed Ultraxion to have his own sanity."

It would take a long time to tell Alexstrasza everything, but Nathanos didn't mind a little more talk. Whether the Life-Binder could accept it or not.

When everything was explained clearly, Alexstrasza only had a dull expression on her face.

Nathanos tilted his head and said, "Forget it, I have been trying to persuade Ultraxion to get to know you sooner, but he is afraid that you will refuse to accept him. Now it seems that his worries are justified. You still need time."

Think clearly. I tell you the truth because I hope you won't look at him the same way you look at Deathwing."

But if she really can't accept it, there's nothing she can do.

"Okay." Nathanos changed the subject, "It's your turn to explain why you are here, Queen of Dragons."
