Volume 8: The Road to the Ancient Dragon Chapter 492: The Dragon King's Secret Meeting
"What the hell!"
Jian Wuhen walked towards the direction of Alterac City while muttering to himself, "Everything was fine when he came here, but when he left, he became a worker who had signed a contract to sell himself. What was this?"
This operation was extremely embarrassing.
He felt so wronged in his heart. He should have left earlier, or he should have taken action directly. There would always be a chance. But now, he has signed a contract to sell himself and has to work for free.
Jian Wuhen was certainly not here to gather intelligence, and Longshang Castle was not a forbidden area. If it was just for reconnaissance, adventurers would be enough.
In fact, his real purpose of coming here this time was to find out the secret of Aidan's transformation into a dragon, and if there was a chance, he would assassinate Aidan.
Currently, Aidan is at the top of the wanted list in the killer circle, with three bounties totaling nearly 10 million yuan.
Moreover, Aidan is wealthy and is believed to have a magical weapon. If he could kill him with one blow, he would definitely become rich.
However, Jian Wuhen is a cautious person and will never act rashly no matter how great the benefits are. The reason he has been able to live in this world for so long and kill so many people and still be alive and well is because of the word "hidden".
I will never take action unless I am absolutely sure.
I monitored him in the castle for a whole week but didn't dare to take any action.
Aidan has too much health. Unless he delivers a critical hit, he will be the one to die if he misses.
Jian Wuhen didn't like gambling with his life. He thought that the other party wouldn't be able to find him anyway, so he might as well continue to wait patiently. Unexpectedly, the other party didn't react for seven days and suddenly turned over... He should have taken a gamble earlier.
Well, don’t think too much about it, just think about how to complete the task assigned by the other party.
Jian Wuhen felt a headache when he thought of the task that Aidan gave him, but he had to do it no matter how difficult it was. After all, he couldn't afford to pay the 50 million.
Of course, there is another way to settle the account. The contract stipulates that if Jian Wuhen dies while performing a mission, then he does not need to pay compensation for the 50 million.
But as long as there is a glimmer of hope, Jian Wuhen will not give up.
By collecting money from killing people in the game, he has achieved financial freedom. This account is his livelihood.
Most importantly, this role satisfied his long-cherished fantasy of being a killer.
Fortunately, he has a lot of , and he can always find a solution by asking more people.
Thinking about it, he opened the private message list and sent messages to each one.
Jian Wuhen (Shadow of Death): Lao Fu, do you have the teleportation coordinates to the Dragon Islands?
Voldemort (Shadow Mage): No, I don’t go to sea very often. Do you want to go to the Dragon Islands?
Jian Wuhen (Shadow of Death): Yes, I need to go over there to do something.
Voldemort (Shadow Mage): You can ask Tofu, he often goes to sea and can definitely teleport to more places than me.
Jian Wuhen (Shadow of Death): Toufu, can you do me a favor and take me to the Dragon Islands?
Gandalf the Furious (Battle Mage): I'm busy brushing up my reputation. Besides, I don't have the coordinates. You should look for Xinbu. She seems to be related to the guardian dragon.
Jian Wuhen (Shadow of Death): Sister Xinbu, please open the door for me.
Xinbu (Elementalist): Go away. When the Horde came to attack Silvermoon City, you refused to help kill the chieftain. Now you think of me, but it's too late...
Jian Wuhen (Shadow of Death): Captain, can you do me a favor and send me to the Dragon Islands?
One Piece (Captain of the Bloody Ship): No problem, I will send 2 million to your destination.
Jian Wuhen (Shadow of Death): Damn, are you kidding me? You still want money after our relationship? If it's two million, why don't you just go and rob it?
One Piece (Captain of the Bloody Ship): Didn't you charge me 800,000 for killing someone for me last time? Besides, the Dragon Islands are a very dangerous place. If you are not careful, the ship will be destroyed and people will die. I am taking this risk with my life. Two million is definitely not too much.
Jian Wuhen (Shadow of Death): Two million is definitely not enough, but two hundred thousand is acceptable.
Pirate King (Captain of the Bloody Ship): Get lost...
After going around in circles and contacting more than a dozen people, I finally found someone who was willing to help.
Alduin (Dark Dragon): You want to go to the Dragon Islands?
Jian Wuhen (Shadow of Death): Yes, how about it, can you help me? You are also a dragon, it should be no problem for you to take me to the Dragon Islands.
Alduin (Dark Dragon): I recently entered the dungeon, and it's not very convenient to brush adventurers to level up every day. But I do have a good idea. Recently, the guardian dragons are recruiting adventurers and heroes to help them fight. If you are willing to join the war, go to the Azure Tower to sign up. The blue dragon there can send you there for free.
Jian Wuhen was immediately delighted, this was really a piece of cake. Not only could he go to the Dragon Islands, he also had a cover identity.
Wait a minute, is the Guardian Dragon recruiting adventurers and heroes to deal with Prince Aidan?
I eavesdropped on their conversation before, and it seems that Aidan killed quite a few dragons from the Dragon Legion.
If it is true, then this can be considered important information.
Jian Wuhen immediately set off for the Azure Temple.
The Azure Spire is located in the snow-capped mountains north of Dalaran. It is said to be the residence of a powerful wizard, but according to the players' inferences in the forum, the owner of the tower is most likely a blue dragon.
He immediately summoned his mount and galloped towards the Azure Tower.
As soon as we entered the valley, we found that there were a large number of adventurers heading into the valley in groups.
When we arrived at the bottom of the Azure Tower, we saw a wizard with blue eyes, long blue hair and wearing a blue robe assigning tasks to adventurers. Beside him was a group of Azure Dragon guards.
The adventurer who accepted the mission went straight into the portal on the side. The white light of the portal kept flashing and it looked very busy.
Trass (mysterious wizard), silver second-level hero, level 72, health 5680.
The mage in front of him was obviously not an ordinary mage, but a blue dragon.
Jian Wuhen also came forward.
Jian Wuhen (Shadow of Death): "Hello, Mage. I heard that you are recruiting warriors to go to the Dragon Islands to fight for you. I am very interested in this activity, so can I be counted as one?"
Tras (mysterious wizard): "Mortal, I will send you there, but only the strongest warriors are qualified to serve my dragon army. You must prove your strength first. Defeat the snow giant in the valley in the east and bring its head back to me. Then you will be qualified to join our army."
Jian Wuhen secretly complained in his heart, thinking that these dragons were really pretentious.
At this moment, a voice came from above.
Mysterious Human: "No need, Tesla, I know this man. He is a very powerful assassin and will be very helpful for this operation."
Jian Wuhen was startled. The person in front of him was wearing a black robe with a hood covering his face. The name on his head just said "Mysterious Human". He was indeed very mysterious.
There was a strong aura of oppression emanating from his body, and Jian Wuhen immediately realized that there was another dragon in front of him, and its rank was not low, definitely higher than that of the blue dragon wizard.
That feeling of awe-inspiring power without even getting angry made Jian Wuhen feel a little nervous.
Do we know each other?
"Of course, we have met before. Perhaps this face can remind you of something." The man said, lifting the hood on his face.
Shit! Jian Wuhen suddenly remembered, isn't this the Black Dragon King Morpheus whom he fought before?
Mysterious human, "Don't be nervous, assassin. We are not enemies now, so I won't attack you. Do you want to join the battle? Why?"
Jian Wuhen (Shadow of Death): "Why else? To earn rewards and gain some plot points. It's very difficult to advance at my level, so I can't miss this grand scene."
This reason was so reasonable that even Jian Wuhen himself believed it.
Morpheus nodded.
"You can call me Morpheus."
"Morpheus? Wait a minute, aren't you the game host who broadcast the massacre live?"
"Haha, I didn't expect you to recognize me."
"Of course I recognize you. Oh my god, you are the Black Dragon King now? That's awesome. Who are you going to deal with this time?"
"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. We are dealing with orcs."
Orcs... this information is of no value.
Jian Wuhen felt somewhat disappointed, but it was still a sign of the Dragon Legion's movement.
"Haha, I'm best at dealing with orcs. I was the one who killed the chieftain of the tribe, Orgrim."
This is not wrong, after all, he also participated in the kill.
"But being able to fight is not enough. What's more important is being obedient."
"I'm responsible for recruiting adventurers and heroes. If you want to join the battle, you must follow my instructions. There are some things I need your help with. Don't worry, I won't let you help in vain. After the task is completed, I can give you the best part of the mission reward.
I will never be stingy with rewards for those who are willing to serve me, but if you want to be my enemy, hehe... As the King of Black Dragons, you should know the consequences of angering me."
Jian Wuhen thought that this sounded familiar, and quickly agreed, "Sure, sure, as long as the money is in place, I guarantee the service will be in place."
I didn't expect that being a spy would bring me unexpected gains.
A white light flashed, and Jian Wuhen was teleported over.
Before our eyes are magnificent cities, towering towers, and stunning natural landscapes.
The Dragon Throne——Thordrasus!
Jian Wuhen was shocked when he saw the scene around him. There were densely packed adventurers, tens of thousands of them, all of them above level 50. There were not only humans, dwarves, gnomes, elves, but also centaurs, tauren, night elves and other adventurers from the Night Alliance.
A crowd of people stood in the square.
There are many dragon guards maintaining order around the square, and some giant dragons transformed into human form are issuing tasks.
Qing Feng Lan Huai (Ranger Master): "Oh my god, Jian Wuhen, why are you here too?"
Jian Wuhen looked back and was immediately delighted, as it turned out to be an old acquaintance.
As the number one assassin in the game, Jian Wuhen has made many enemies and friends.
When making friends, he doesn't consider strength or status, but only whether they get along well.
Qingfeng Lanhuai was put on the assassination list. Jian Wuhen accepted the mission and went to the tavern to ambush. Unexpectedly, when he came into contact with Qingfeng Lanhuai, he found that they had similar tastes and had a great conversation. Both of them had eccentric personalities (and loved to show off), and their middle-aged and second-grade dimensions were very compatible. It was a pity that they met too late.
Since the bounty was not high anyway, Jian Wuhen killed the assassin who came to kill Qingfeng Lanhuai and was recognized as his elder brother by Qingfeng Lanhuai.
Look at the group of adventurers surrounding Qingfeng Lanhuai, he has become the president again.
Jian Wuhen (Shadow of Death): "By the way, you have become the president again? That's pretty impressive."
Qing Feng Lan Huai (Ranger Master): "Haha, the limelight has long passed. These days, big news pop up one after another. Who still remembers me? That little thing is long gone."
Jian Wuhen (Shadow of Death): “What are we waiting for?
Qingfeng Lanhuai (Ranger Master): "I'm waiting for the Dragon Kings to finish their meeting. I heard that they are going to attack the Dragonmaw Clan this time. The Dragon Legion has issued a lot of quest rewards, various reputation equipment, dragon-exclusive materials, and even mount rewards. This is a big event. I brought all the brothers in the guild here, and I'm waiting to make a lot of money. If I'm lucky, I might be able to ride a dragon."
Jian Wuhen looked behind him and saw the huge tower that reached into the clouds. It was surrounded by many giant dragons flying around to guard it, and each floor was guarded by a large number of dragon men.
There are also many adventurers who take on patrol missions and fly in the sky on dragons.
It's so heavily guarded, it's very challenging.
"That sounds good. I'll go with you guys later."
Jian Wuhen greeted everyone and found a deserted place. After checking that there was no one around, he entered the shadow stealth mode again and moved up to the tower.
At this moment, a pre-war meeting was taking place high up in the tower.
All five dragon kings were present, and even the bronze dragon king Nozdormu took time out of his busy schedule to participate in the meeting, but looking at his unfathomable and wooden expression, he always seemed like he was in a trance.
The one who was speaking at this time was the Red Dragon Queen.
Alexstrasza (Red Dragon Queen): "These orcs must be completely destroyed. These savage beasts must not be allowed to continue to wreak havoc on the world."
When Alexstrasza thought about the day when she was controlled by the orc warlock with the Dragon Soul and was almost captured to be used as a breeding machine, she felt angry and scared.
If she were to experience such a fate, she really didn't know how to face it.
Ysera was equally indignant, Kalecgos nodded slightly, and Nozdormu looked away guiltily.
Morpheus suddenly stood up.
Morpheus (Black Dragon King): "Your Majesty Alexstrasza, I know you are filled with rage in your heart, and you do have reason to be angry, but we are guardian dragons, shouldering the sacred mission of protecting this world. We should not let hatred devour our minds and anger distort our rationality."
Alexstrasza's eyes widened when she heard this. It turned out that you were almost captured and used as a breeding machine.
But when I thought that it was the other party who saved me, I couldn't say anything too harsh.
"The orcs must be punished."
“You are right, Your Majesty. The orcs must be punished, but perhaps we should try another approach. Although these orcs are barbaric, we have to admit that they are indeed powerful warriors. Perhaps we can let them serve us and turn the scourge that has plagued this world into a sharp blade to fight against evil.
This is also the best way to atone for their sins.”
Kalecgos asked curiously, "Control the orcs? Lord Morpheus, how are you going to do that?"
Ysera (Green Dragon Queen): "And now there is one biggest problem, how to defeat Nekros?"
The dragon soul has a natural suppressing effect on the four major dragon clans. Even just getting close is enough to make them lose their resistance.
Morpheus (Black Dragon King): "These two questions are actually one question. Orcs are a race that respects the strong. Only strength can make them surrender. I will personally raid Nekros and take back the Dragon Soul. When I defeat the most powerful leader of the orcs and force them into a desperate situation, they will have no choice but to surrender."
Nozdormu (Bronze Dragon King): "Be careful young black dragon king. Although the dragon soul cannot harm the black dragon, it is a powerful weapon in itself."
Morpheus (Black Dragon King): "It doesn't matter. We have the help of adventurers this time, as well as the assistance of heroes from the Alliance and the Dark Night Alliance. We will surely succeed in one fell swoop."
At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.
The door to the conference room opened and a petite dwarf loli walked out.
Alexstrasza was furious when she saw Chromie coming back.
When the orcs came to attack, this person left less than ten minutes in advance. This coincidence was indeed a bit suspicious, but with the enemy at hand, she couldn't question him.
Alexstrasza (Red Dragon Queen): "Chromie, how are you getting on with your work?"
Chromie (Time Traveler): "Lethon, Narissa, Erastrasz, they're all dead."
What! Everyone was shocked. Four ancient dragons joined forces to attack, but they could still overturn the car? What a joke.
Alexstrasza (Dragon Queen): "Has Lysajace become so powerful?"
"No, it's not Lysajess, it's Aidandelon, the Storm Dragon King!"
"What are you talking about?" This time it was Morpheus' turn to be curious, but he didn't know about this matter.
Alexstrasza then told Chromie that she had sent him to ambush the Sealed Prison.
Morpheus was shocked when he heard this.
"You mean Aidan Deron, the Storm Dragon King? Aidan, the human prince of Alterac?"
"Yes, it is Prince Aidan of Alterac. We have always thought that he was Lysajess in disguise, but obviously that is not the case. He is a Dragon Eater who has become so powerful by consuming the power of dragons."
"You said he mastered the power of the ancient dragon? But how is that possible? The ancient dragon has long been destroyed."
"Strictly speaking, it is part of the power of the ancient dragon."
Chromie carefully recalled the scene at that time. He was so scared at that time that he thought he had encountered an ancient dragon. Later, when he thought about it carefully, it seemed more like it had some characteristics of an ancient dragon.
"But now he has devoured the hearts of three dragons including Lethon. It is said that dragon eaters can gain power from dragon hearts. Perhaps he has become a real ancient dragon now!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the four Dragon Kings all showed worried expressions.
Only Morpheus was not very clear about the power of the ancient dragon.
"Is the ancient dragon really that powerful?"
Ysera (Green Dragon Queen): "Very powerful. The ancient dragons once soared in the sky and ruled the world. Even the gods did not dare to provoke them easily. Even the ancient gods were afraid of the lightning of the ancient dragons."
Her voice was somewhat nostalgic and yearning, as if she was recalling the glorious past.
Nozdormu (Bronze Dragon King): "Don't worry, as long as we can get back the Dragon Soul, we can defeat it again. Even the ancient dragons can't resist the power of the Dragon Soul and the Guardian Dragons, but before that, we must make sure he doesn't become more powerful."
Ysera (Green Dragon Queen): "We can inform the other ancient dragons to hide and avoid becoming food for the dragon feaster."
Nozdormu (Bronze Dragon King): "This is a solution. As long as he doesn't continue to grow stronger, it will be relatively easy for us to deal with him in the future. Before that, we must resolve the threat of the orcs as soon as possible..."
Jian Wuhen hid in the shadows, and was shocked when he heard it. Wow, so awesome? The power of ancient dragons? No wonder he couldn't dodge it, and no wonder Aidan Delong looked so strange.
Very good, this message is worth passing on.
Jian Wuhen: Boss, I found some information that I think you might be interested in.
Aidan: Oh, tell me about it.
Jian Wuhen: The Guardian Dragon has summoned a large number of adventurers to attack the Dragonmaw Legion. Chromie reported some situations. They decided to notify other ancient dragons to hide and not let you catch them. They will attack you after they have dealt with the Dragonmaw Legion.
Aidan: I understand. Keep monitoring and notify me immediately if there is any movement.
Jian Wuhen: So my first mission is completed, right?
Aidan: It's halfway done. When they have dealt with the Dragonmaw Legion and are ready to attack me, notify me immediately . At that time, you will have completed the first mission.
