…………

Krasus is sitting in his study in the Mage Tower, one of his favorite places. The room is comfortably furnished and warm, although not spacious. There is room for every piece of stuff: a desk, a side table and

The boxes were all filled with books or magic items. If there was any place that filled his heart with more joy than here, it was that he hoped that no one would disturb him while he was reading. Now, Krasus is busy

Copy a very ancient text into a new vellum pad.

A crystal ball hovered in the center of the study, providing him with illumination. A soft halo of light shone in it.

At this time, he heard the sound of the door being opened. Crassus did not raise his head, because he knew that only his apprentice Luo Ning would rush into the study rashly instead of knocking on the door first. But he would not blame Luo Ning.

In the eyes of the outside world, they have a master-student relationship, but privately they are very good friends. Luo Ning's humor added countless fun to Crassus in his peaceful years.

"Someone is looking for you, Crassus." Luo Ning said, with a herbal belt hanging on his body. Crassus arranged for him to go out to find some experimental materials today, but Luo Ning brought back something else.

"Looking for me?" Crassus finally stopped the pen in his hand and removed the pen tip to prevent ink from dripping onto the parchment.

"It's a dwarf lady and her... friend. The lady insisted that I give this to you. But... can I say more?"

"Say what you have to say," Crassus smiled slightly, "I have never despised your advice."

"That lady seems fine. I have no ill intentions towards her, but her friends..." Luo Ning shook his head and frowned slightly.

The apprentice's reaction immediately aroused Krasus's vigilance. Although Luo Ning was sometimes careless, he had keen intuition and could often grasp the key to the problem. The apprentice came to Krasus and took an ordinary-looking statue.

, a small statue made of clay was taken out of the medicine bag.

Krasus took a sharp breath of air, stood up with his hands on the table, and grabbed the thing. After confirming again and again, he kept nodding, "Where is she?"

Luo Ning looked at his mentor intently. Of course, it was impossible for him to understand the meaning of what he handed to Krasus, but his mentor's reaction was not completely unexpected.

"Right outside the door," he replied, "I brought them here very carefully."

"Them?" Crassus then remembered that Luo Ning had said that the lady also brought an unusual friend. "Who is with her?"

"A human being seems to have no problem, but I always feel that there is something wrong with him."

The corners of Krasus' lips raised, "What do you think is wrong with him?"

"It's just a feeling." Luo Ning leaned into Krasus's ear and whispered: "I feel... he is an undead."

The atmosphere in the study suddenly fell into an ice cave. In this world, there was only one undead creature left. The two looked at each other and stopped talking for a long time. Krasus understood why Ronin had such a guess. If he was right

Yes, then he can be mentally prepared in advance, but why? Why did the person who brought him this statue mix with the undead?

"Thank you for your careful observation, Ronin. Now, please invite the lady in and her friends." Krasus did not reveal any information to the apprentice. "By the way, don't tell anyone what happened today."

"It seems like trouble has come to our door again." Luo Ning said, turned around and walked out of the study.

Hearing his words, Crassus smiled. Others might think that this outspoken apprentice behaved rudely in front of his mentor, but Crassus admired Ronin's timid character.

This statue is a touching dragon, lifelike.

Crassus looked at it carefully again. It was an ordinary and priceless treasure. It was ordinary because it was made of clay, and the memories it carried were the reason why it was priceless. Only

One person can have this thing.

Knowing that she was coming, Crassus quickly adjusted his collar.

The door opened again, and Luo Ning brought the guest in. He walked at the end and closed the door when he came in. Krasus lowered his head and looked at the red-haired dwarf girl with inquiring eyes. In order not to attract others

Attention, she chose this form.

"There is no surveillance here, and Luo Ning is completely trustworthy. You..."

"It's very kind of you to meet us, Korestrasz."

The mentor actually addressed the little guy with an honorific, and the dwarf actually knew Krasus' real name. Ronin took a breath, but what happened next was even more unexpected. The dwarf's body glowed brightly, and his short stature immediately reappeared.

She transformed into a tall elf lady, and the most eye-catching thing was that she had two horns on her head. Ronin finally knew that Krasus's reaction was reasonable, and that he was the fool.

"Queen..." Crassus wanted to bow, but his instinct stopped him. "You seem...somewhat different." He clearly remembered that the Queen's eyes were always shining with golden luster.

The Alexstrasza in front of him now looked more like a mortal. But Krasus didn't think she was pretending.

"I am the Red Dragon Queen, but I am not the Red Dragon Queen of this world."

Crassus suddenly realized that many questions could be explained. He looked at the baby dragon statue in his hand again. "No wonder you brought the small statue that Ysera made for you. If it weren't for this, I would be somewhat suspicious.

you."

Alexstrasza and Ysera were inseparable sisters long before they became Aspect Dragons. The statue was a gift from Ysera to her sister, and Alexstrasza had been keeping it carefully. Krasus was there

I've only seen this once before.

"So now are you willing to trust us?"

"Of course! Time travel? I understand." Krasus nodded, respectfully returned the statue to Alexstrasza, and then asked: "So, what brought you to me?"

"It's him." Alexstrasza stepped aside to get out of the way, and the human who followed her in but was alerted by Ronin and hid his face under his hood stepped forward.

Indeed, as Luo Ning said, this man gives people an extraordinary feeling. Only undead creatures can make people feel like this. He wears a simple violet mage robe. His hands are covered with calluses.

From waving the weapon. When the man raised his head, their eyes met. Now, Crassus found that the other man was looking at him calmly.

Undead creatures are all crazy and inhumane. This is the general consensus of everyone, but this man is an exception. He is very calm, and Krasus cannot feel a trace of hostility.

"There is no need for this. Since you came in with the Life-Binder, I will listen to your voice."

The disguised illusion disappeared, the temperature in the study dropped a bit, and Luo Ning felt a chill down his spine.

"It's really surprising." Krasus murmured, looking up and down. He had never seen an undead creature with such a complete body. "Who are you?"

"My name," the undead said, "is Nathanos Blightcaller."

With a 'pop', Luo Ning leaned against the study door, his face no longer able to suppress his surprise and fear. Krasus still maintained a calm expression, but the feeling of surprise had spread throughout his body. Then

He realized that the Blight One, like Alexstrasza, came from Azeroth in another time and space.

Alexstrasza and Nathanos each looked back at Ronin.

"Today is getting more and more interesting." Krasus barely managed to steady his voice. He coughed and returned their gaze. "Please don't blame Ronin. His rudeness is completely understandable. Please sit down.

I'll ask Luo Ning to bring some food. I suspect the purpose of your trip is not simple."

His judgment was correct. Alexstrasza and Nathanos sat down. Tea and cake were served for snacks.

"Can we speak now, Lord Witherer?" Krasus took a sip of tea to relieve the thirst caused by tension, and looked at Nathanos with Alexstrasza.

"Why do you all feel panic when you hear my name?"

Krasus didn't expect the Blight One to ask a question first, but he was happy to answer it. Obviously the Wither One didn't know what happened to Azeroth. "Because 'Nathanos' is a taboo, and one has long been banned."

A name people forget."

"Why is this happening?"

"It seems that Luo Ning didn't tell you what happened at all."

"Your apprentice is very alert." Alexstrasza pursed her lips and smiled, glancing at Ronin who was waiting quietly, making the apprentice feel uncomfortable. "But he is not stubborn. We met him in the wild.

It took some effort and asked him to bring us to you."

"I'm also glad that you can meet him. If it were someone else, you might be in trouble." Krasus took another sip of tea, "After all, the changes in Azeroth are really beyond imagination."

"It's all about me," Nathanos whispered, "right?" His tone was firm, not questioning.

Krasus looked at him, shook his head, and put down the tea cup, "It has something to do with Sylvanas, but your name is the most critical part of it."

Alexstrasza looked at Nathanos worriedly, and happened to witness the subtle change in the expression on his face. One of the Blighter's hands had already clenched its fist.

"What's up with her?"

"You don't know yet, right now the northern part of the Eastern Kingdom, including the wetlands, is the territory of the high elves."

"High Elf?"

Nathanos and Alexstrasza looked at each other in surprise, both eager for Krasus to continue speaking.

"Yes, the territory of Quel'Thalas has expanded to such an extent. The Alliance of Human Kingdoms that fought against the Horde many years ago now only has Dalaran, Stormwind City, and Kul Tiras left."

"how so?"

"Sylvanas..." When the conversation shifted to the female elf, Krasus's voice added a layer of helplessness and solemnity, "She is quite a powerful vixen."

Alexstrasza clearly felt that Nathanos was suppressing his anger, and she hurriedly interrupted Krasus, "Corastrasz, it is incorrect to evaluate a woman like this."

Facing the queen's rebuke, Crassus just snorted, and Ronin also had the same reaction.

"Maybe in your world, Sylvanas is a positive figure, but here, she is extremely dangerous. I would rate her as a siren."

Sirens are creatures that live around the coast of Kul Tiras. They are good at using their singing voices to make people pass by and control their will.

"Why did you give her that title?" Alexstrasza put her hand on Nathanos's clenched fist. Krasus would not slander someone for no reason. There must be some truth to what he said. It might as well be.

Listen to him continue.

Krasus also noticed the hostility brewing in Nathanos' eyes as he looked at him. In that world, were the fates of these two people intertwined? He lamented in his heart the cruelty of fate.

"Just like the name itself means, Sylvanas is very good at taking advantage of others, and what she uses is not magic, but people's hearts."

"political means?"

"This is just one of the ways." Crassus leaned back in his chair and crossed his hands. "All her own advantages, her beauty, words, etc., she will use these to make people around her fascinated by her. And
