Volume 2: The Road to Dragon Feast Chapter 109 The Secret History of the Dragon Clan
Neltharion (Black Dragon King): "Sartharion, my brother, I have always trusted you and believed that you would take good care of my black dragon army, but I have to say that you gave me a big surprise this time. Tell me, Sartharion, what is the reason that made you so indulge those little cubs, even in the face of the risk of civil war, you still do not care."
Sartharion heard the dissatisfaction in Deathwing's voice. He felt a little nervous, but tried not to show his uneasiness on his face. They were all ancient dragons, and they could lose the dragon but not the battle. At least they couldn't lose face too much.
Sartharion (Ancient Black Dragon): "Hmph, Neltharion, what you said is a bit strange. You are the King of Black Dragons, not me. I am just a useless old guy. Those little guys will not listen to me ."
Murphy stopped suddenly, and the ferocious dragon head looked at him.
Neltharion (Black Dragon King): "You disappoint me, Sartharion. I hear complaints in your voice. Are you dissatisfied with me? Speak out, brother. I really want to hear your honest advice."
Now Sartharion dared not say anything. In recent years, Neltharion has become more and more crazy. Even he couldn't help feeling a little afraid.
Sartharion (Ancient Black Dragon): "Ahem, I just want to say that you should stay for a while. Those little brats can do anything without you to control them. You also said that this is your Black Dragon Legion. As long as you are here, they dare not act rashly. I don't mean anything else."
Seeing that his old brother had surrendered, Murphy did not force him too much. His real purpose was to get some information from Sartario. As an ancient black dragon, he must know some ancient secrets, such as ancient dragons and dragon feast ceremonies.
The more he knows, the more helpful it will be for him in this task.
Neltharion (Black Dragon King): "Hmph, compared to dealing with the affairs of the Black Dragonflight, I have more important things to do - do you still remember the ancient dragons?"
Sartharion (Ancient Black Dragon): "Those stone-headed people who are stuck in the past? Of course I remember. They have long been extinct. After the battle in the Sky City, the ancient dragon clan disappeared."
Neltharion (Black Dragon King): "But I recently discovered that there may still be living ancient dragons."
Sartharion (Ancient Black Dragon): "Those stone heads are immortal and indestructible. As long as they are not killed, they can live until the day when the universe ends. It is normal for a few remnants to hide and linger, but they can't do anything. The Dragon God is dead, and the power of the Dragon God has fallen into our hands. They are nothing more than the afterglow of the setting sun, the ghosts of the past, and the remnants abandoned by the times.
Why should you care about them if they are dying with their ancient traditions? "
Murphy was very surprised after hearing this. It turned out to be quite informative and it revealed quite a lot of information.
The first thing that can be confirmed is that the Dragon God is really dead. He had vaguely heard related rumors before. Because the Dragon God rarely responds to his believers, some people said that the Dragon God is dead, some said that the Dragon God is sealed, and some said that the Dragon God has left the Sky World. At present, it seems that the Dragon God is dead is a more reliable answer. As an ancient black dragon, Sartharion has lived long enough and is a elder of the dragon clan, so he must be able to grasp first-hand information.
In the battle of the Sky City, one side of the battle was definitely the Dragon God and the Ancient Dragon forces, so who was the other side? What kind of enemy could defeat the Dragon God and the Ancient Dragon?
What does the Dragon God's authority refer to? Wait, could it be the power of protection?
Yes, the most powerful force possessed by the dragon clan in the sky world is the guardian power possessed by the five guardian dragons. They respectively control the authority and laws of five fields, and their power is close to that of gods.
Murphy had always wondered where the guardian power of the five guardian dragons came from.
The black dragon controls the power of the earth, the blue dragon controls the power of magic, the red dragon controls the power of life, the green dragon controls the power of dreams, and the bronze dragon is the most mysterious, controlling the power of time.
In the setting of World of Warcraft back then, these five powers were bestowed by the Titans on the guardian dragons, but no matter how you think about it, something seems a little wrong. Take the bronze dragon's power of time for example. This power is so buggy that it can even directly switch timelines , open up other parallel universes, and travel through time and space to the past and the future.
If the Titans had such strong power, would they have been humiliated by the Ancient Gods?
Moreover, it is not even certain whether there are Titans in the universe.
On the contrary, the presence of the gods is stronger.
In the Sky Universe, where the guardian power of the five guardian dragons comes from has never been clearly explained by the game officials. Instead, the current camp affiliation of the five guardian dragons is quite subtle.
The Red Dragon Queen, Alexstrasza, the Guardian of Life, is now a follower of the Goddess of Life, Notina.
Malygos, the king of blue dragons and guardian of the magic network, is a follower of the god of magic, Ober.
The bronze dragon king, the Keeper of Time, Nozdormu, is a follower of the god of fate, Espink.
The Green Dragon Queen, the Dream Guardian Ysera, and a follower of the Moon Goddess Elune.
The black dragon king, Neltharion, the guardian of the earth, does not belong to the Mother Goddess of Earth. Instead, there is a sense of competition between them. From this point of view, the power of protection does not seem to be bestowed by the gods.
The other four guardian dragons were more like apprentices with skills and capital investment. Neltharion didn't know whether it was because they failed to agree on the treatment or for some other reason, but he was the only guardian dragon who did not bow to the gods.
Originally, Murphy had always thought that the power of the five guardian dragons might be related to the gods, but now he couldn't help but wonder, could it be that these five guardian powers are the so-called authority of the Dragon God?
Thinking about it this way, the mysterious voice from Tongtian Peak seemed to have mentioned something like collecting the lost power of the Dragon God. Could it be referring to the power of protection?
His mind turned slightly, and he decided to continue testing.
Neltharion (Black Dragon King): "I recently learned that the ancient dragons have begun to perform dragon feasts again."
Sarthario was immediately horrified, "What! What are they trying to do? Are they trying to revive the Dragon God? Humph, those stone-headed people are really a bunch of lunatics. The Dragon Feast Ceremony is doomed to be a dead end. It is meaningless except for killing countless dragons and creating a group of twisted monsters.
Wanting to revive the Dragon God through the Dragon Feast Ceremony is simply wishful thinking."
Hmm? The ultimate goal of the Dragon Feast Ceremony is to revive the Dragon God, but how?
The Dragon Feast ritual is to gain power by devouring dragon hearts. Does that mean that as long as enough power is accumulated, the Dragon God can be resurrected? No, it must not be that simple, otherwise it would have succeeded after so long. Does it require a specific dragon heart, such as eating one heart from each dragon race?
That's not right. There are many types of dragons in the world of the sky, probably more than a dozen. In the Dragon Feast Ritual, one will transform into a dragon by devouring ten dragon hearts. It doesn't make sense at all. No, I have to keep trying.
Neltharion (Black Dragon King): "Do you think so? I think they may succeed. After all, the ancient dragons have infinite lifespans. They have plenty of time to carry out this plan."
Sartharion (Ancient Black Dragon): "What's the use? To revive the Dragon God, we must gather the power of the five guardian dragons. Didn't you swear that you would never gather the power of the Dragon God together? Although you successfully persuaded them to make an exception once ten thousand years ago, I think based on the result of that time, they will never do it again."
You swore? Ten thousand years ago? The War of the Ancients!
Murphy immediately thought of the background of Sartari's words.
In the War of the Ancients ten thousand years ago, facing the demon army of the Burning Legion, Neltharion summoned the guardian dragons (at that time he had not yet turned evil and was the leader of the five guardian dragons), declaring that he would create an artifact to fight the Burning Legion.
This artifact requires the five guardian dragons to each take out a part of their power and combine them together. Once completed, they will be able to easily defeat the Burning Legion. The other guardian dragons are very uneasy about this, but facing the fierce offensive of the Burning Legion, they can only agree reluctantly.
Then the five guardian dragons each picked up one of their scales and injected a part of their power into them. The five dragon scales merged into one, successfully creating a powerful artifact called Dragon Soul.
As the leader of the five guardian dragons, Neltharion naturally became the user of the artifact. This thing is indeed powerful. With one shot, countless demons were reduced to ashes.
However, as the fight went on, Neltharion suddenly turned his guns on other dragons. It turned out that Neltharion had already turned evil, and due to years of corruption and pollution from the Whispers of the Ancient God N'Zoth, his will had already gone crazy. The purpose of creating the Dragon Soul was to do evil things such as dominate the world and destroy the world.
Under the attack of the Dragon Soul, the four major dragon clans suffered heavy casualties, and from then on they completely fell out with Neltharion. Moreover, the four major dragon clans also regarded the black dragon clan as their mortal enemy. From then on, the black dragon became completely synonymous with evil.
At this moment, the story background in his mind was connected to the information just revealed by Sarthario, and Murphy had a flash of inspiration in his mind. Could it be that the so-called dragon soul is the power of the ancient dragon?
So that's how it is. Now everything makes sense. The five guardian dragons only need to contribute a part of their strength to create a powerful artifact like the Dragon Soul. If they contribute all their strength, maybe they can really resurrect the Dragon God.
Of course, if they do that, the protective power of the five dragon kings will definitely be gone, so just think about it and you will know that they will never do that.
However, the Dragon Feast Ceremony is not about inviting guests to dinner to discuss cooperation, but about obtaining the power of dragons by hunting dragons and swallowing their hearts. The dragon heart is the essence of the dragon's power. Perhaps as long as one swallows the dragon hearts of the five guardian dragons, one can transform into a dragon god?
No, if that was the case, there should be an introduction in the mission instructions, but whether it was the mission description or the mysterious voice, it only asked me to eat dragon hearts to gain strength, and there was no mention of guarding the dragon.
Moreover, what Sartharion was talking about was resurrecting the Dragon God, which was obviously not the same as transforming himself into the Dragon God. Could it be that he guessed wrong?
Murphy was confused for a moment, and suddenly it got dark in front of him. It turned out that the two dragons had unknowingly come to the depths of the Obsidian Temple. In front of them was a heavy obsidian door, which was hundreds of meters high. Even for the dragon clan, it was a very magnificent building.
This is the forbidden area of the Obsidian Temple, which has always buried the oldest secrets of the Black Dragon clan.
