Experimentation implies enormous risks.
Out of curiosity, Kelitu Telazi visited the Ruby Sanctum and witnessed a series of cruel experiments.
Newborn Whelps are forced to undergo Power Infusions, deformed Dragons lie on experimental tables awaiting dissection, and their own kind are beheaded and forcibly fused with Elemental.
The thought of that bloody scene is absolutely terrifying and sends chills down my spine.
Terrified, Kelitu Telazi fled from the Ruby Sanctum, inadvertently losing the Queen's scales in the process.
He understood the Queen's intention: she wanted him to manage the Ruby Sanctum. Unfortunately, he was naturally timid and couldn't bear the miserable situation.
"No, I can't!" Kelitu Telazi instinctively refused.
Twilight Father noticed his unease and smiled faintly, saying, "Don't worry, I once turned a Blue Dragonflight into Demons Dragon, and the experiment was a great success."
"No, no, let me think about it," Kelitu Telazi with a pained expression.
Twilight Father gave him a deep look and smiled:
"I don't like to force things. If you're unwilling, that's fine, I can wait. You need to understand that in these chaotic times, without strength, there's only death. I hope you'll think it over carefully and contact me again when you've made up your mind."
Twilight Father left, leaving behind a Communication Crystal.
Kelitu Telazi buried his head on the table like a quail.
Robbie and Krasus watched Twilight Father leave.
"Who is this person?" Krasus asked gravely. "I know Twilight Father, Archbishop Benedictus of Stormwind City, could it really be him?"
Robbie shook his head. "It's Medivh."
"Medivh, you said that was Medivh."
Krasus gasped in shock; it was Guardian Medivh whom even the Red Dragon Queen feared.
Robbie pointed at Kelitu Telazi: "Are you going to take him home?"
Krasus's face darkened. "I don't know. To be honest, I'm very worried. Only one of the Queen's consorts can be favored. Kelitu Telazi is extremely jealous. If I stay in the Wyrmrest Temple, I'll definitely be harmed. After bringing him back, I must find an excuse to go traveling."
Robbie frowned. In order to deal with the Ancient Evil, Krasus had to stay by the Red Dragon Queen's side. Without this inside man, things would be much more difficult.
"If you want the Red Dragon Queen to hate him, it's actually very simple," Robbie said with a slight smile.
"What method?" Krasus asked expectantly.
"The Red Dragon Queen's affection for him is merely based on her love of his appearance."
Krasus in human form stroked his chin. "Should we secretly ruin his appearance? No way, the Dragonkin have ways to restore it."
Robbie shook his head. "All we need to do is get him to accept Medivh's modifications."
Krasus's eyes lit up. "How can we persuade him?"
Robbie said, "No need to persuade him, just make him realize the importance of strength. That will require a little planning."
After listening to Robbie's words, Krasus fell into thought.
Dragonkin also need to eat. After days of flying, Kelitu Telazi was hungry, so he set sail from the Westfall to search for food in the sea.
As night falls, shallow ripples appear on the calm sea.
Dragonkin love to hunt by following typhoons. Typhoons in Azeroth are often magical storms, bringing not only Gale rain but also terrifying elemental currents. Powerful Magical Creatures are often swept to the surface and become Dragonkin food in a daze.
If there is no typhoon, then create a huge storm.
Kelitu Telazi followed the ocean currents to the deep sea, where he was far enough from the land. He began to slowly flap his wings, creating powerful gusts of air.
The Dragonkin has accumulated rich experience through more than 100,000 years of hunting, and knows how to cause a great storm with the least amount of magic.
The Gale howled, the waves surged, and a terrifying Maelstrom slowly took shape.
Kelitu Telazi was like a skilled musician, plucking the strings of the world and using the principle of magical leverage to stir up a massive elemental storm.
A Maelstrom, over a kilometer in diameter, formed deep in the ocean, and a giant moray eel was swept to the surface. These creatures have sharp teeth, and some species can generate electricity, but unfortunately, they cannot harm the Dragonkin.
Kelitu Telazi swooped down close to the surface of the sea, grabbed the eel's body, and before it could struggle, unleashed a burst of scorching Dragon's Breath.
The moray eels curled up, unable to move, and became Kelitu Telazi's meal.
After discerningly devouring the most delicious parts of the eel, Kelitu Telazi threw the remaining Corpse into the sea and continued his hunt; this was merely an appetizer.
Just then, a melodious song drifted from within the storm.
Kelitu Telazi's gaze tightened. Amidst the Gale and flashing lightning, the mysterious song clearly reached his ears.
In the pitch-black night, where the sky meets the sea, a gigantic ghost ship rises from the seabed, ignoring the rapidly spinning Maelstrom, and sails straight toward Kelitu Telazi.
"Ghost ship!"
Kelitu Telazi was terrified. As an Adult Red Dragon, he shouldn't have been afraid of the ghost ship, but he was too weak and felt uneasy.
At the bow of the ghost ship, the captain, wearing a tricorn hat, raised his binoculars and chuckled as he surveyed the Dragon in the sky.
"I am Captain Sanders. I recognize you, Red Dragon Kelitu Telazi. You have been abandoned by the Red Dragonflight. My ship needs a keel."
Rumble.
The ghost ship's dozens of cannons opened fire simultaneously, filling the sea with smoke.
These cannons couldn't hit the Dragon; their purpose was simply to create smoke and then launch crossbow bolts.
"Not good!"
Kelitu Telazi struggled upwards, the sound of crossbow bolts whistling through the smoke.
These magical crossbow bolts are barbed, and once they pierce Dragonkin's wing, they cannot escape.
Fortunately, Kelitu Telazi was quick-witted enough to escape the crossbow's range in time. One bolt grazed his wing, and several scales fell into the sea.
Kelitu Telazi soared into the clouds, letting out a long sigh of relief; he was finally safe.
"I've got my sights on you, Kelitu Telazi. You won't escape my pursuit." Captain Sanders's triumphant laughter echoed from below.
"Damn it, if I were still in the Red Dragonflight, I would surely have had a senior help me avenge myself, and I would never have suffered such humiliation."
Kelitu Telazi gritted his teeth in hatred. Scales were closely related to the Dragonkin, and with scales, there were many ways to pinpoint his location.
Unable to eat his fill, Kelitu Telazi had no choice but to return to his lodgings. The electric eel he had just eaten was quickly digested, and he was still starving.
"What should I do if I can't go out to sea to hunt?"
Only the food-rich ocean can satisfy the Dragonkin's appetites; it seems this area must be avoided. Kelitu Telazi couldn't help but sigh.
His dwelling was located atop a mountain, in a place inaccessible to ordinary people, inside a huge cave.
Upon entering the cave, Kelitu Telazi smelled a familiar scent.
"It's Korialstrasz! The Red Dragon Queen must have sent him to hunt me down. He found me so quickly."
Kelitu Telazi finally remembered that the Red Dragon Queen also had his scales.
Korialstrasz made no attempt to conceal his aura; it was a blatant challenge, an affront to his dignity.
Do you think I'm really afraid of you?
Kelitu Telazi was extremely frustrated. The ghost ship was bullying him, and he was being pursued by Krasus. He was in a desperate situation.
Left with no other option, Kelitu Telazi had to take out the Communication Crystal left behind by "Twilight Father".
