"It's so cold."

With a complaint, Dragon Mage Luo Ning, who had just completed a secret mission, walked out of the portal. He stepped on the snow on the ground and looked at the surrounding Winter Temple that had been completely covered by crystal ice. Here

It looked like it should have been a majestic Titan Palace. Even through the crystal clear, glass-like ice that was thousands of years old, Luo Ning could still see the mysterious pictures carved on the palace.

Those murals seem to be describing a war...a war between the guardians and the ancient gods, and there are many shadows of elemental creatures in them.

"Well, this should be a scene describing the Battle of the Lord. Maybe the owner of this temple should also be one of the participants in that magnificent war."

Ronin was carrying the staff of Aluneth and the Protector on his back, standing in front of the ice, looking at the mural in front of him and stroking his chin. Behind him, the mages of New Dalaran were nervously arranging special

According to the warning of the coalition's guardian ally Ms. Elonnaya, standing in the winter temple in front of the cold barrier is Hodil, the King of Frost and the god of frost giants. He is a man who controls the coldness of absolute zero.

The giant guardian of ice magic is an extremely difficult magic user.

That is also an opponent that the mages must solve... and the mages of New Dalaran are also very interested in the guardian magic books stored in the Winter Temple, and they will not allow others to interfere with them.

"Luo Ning, you're here too."

A gentle voice sounded behind Master Long, making Luo Ning turn around.

Behind him, between the shining lights of the portal, was Sun King Kael'thas, who was as handsome as a man in a painting, wearing a fiery red phoenix robe and a crown of flames. The Sun Chaser was greeting him, accompanying him.

As time goes by, the years seem to have left no trace on Kael'thas. He is still as handsome and gentle as he was more than ten years ago.

However, the Sun King has grown a beard in recent years, which makes him look more handsome and more stable.

This is probably related to the fact that His Majesty Kael'thas had his first child last year. It was the first child of the Sun King and his Queen Lana'thel. He was a boy with the orthodox bloodline of the Sunstrider family.

, the news of the prince's birth shocked the entire high elf civilization. All civilizations, including the night elves, sent envoys, even the Federation as far away as the Eastern Continent.

That was a truly happy event. It represented that the rule of the Sunstrider Dynasty had once again become stable, and even the differences between the Royal Party and the Parliament had been bridged a lot.

"What an honor, Your Majesty Kael'thas!"

The dragon mage bowed slightly to the Sun King politely. As an archmage who lived in the wilderness of Feralas all year round, the relationship between Ronin and Kael'thas was still very good.

"I know that Dalaran invited an important person to come to Ulduar to stand up for them, but I didn't expect that they actually invited you... I'm curious about what price those old-fashioned people paid to invite them.

How about a big shot like the Sun King coming to do something for them?"

Ronin spoke in a relaxed tone, filled with some dissatisfaction with the Six-person Council of Dalaran, but of course this question was in a joking manner, because he already knew from Jaina about the Six-person Council's re-invitation to Kyle.

The news that His Majesty Thass has joined Dalaran means that Kael'thas Sunstrider may now be one of the members of the six-person parliament.

But to Luo Ning's expectation, the Sun King did not hide anything, but answered the question calmly:

"Don't look at me with that look. I know what you are thinking, but I have already rejected Dalaran's invitation. Do you really think that a noble Sun King will hand over his destiny to a semi-official

An organization of a certain nature? No, no, no, the country I really want to protect is there, and my people are there. I rejected the invitation of the six-person council, but I recommended one of my royal archmages to serve.

In exchange, I have to help Dalaran solve this problem."

"Oh? Is it Master Romance?"

Luo Ning asked with a strange expression:

"If it is Master Romance, then the six-member council should welcome him with open arms. Why would they ask you to do something for them... Could it be that you recommended an unknown person?"

"Not really..."

The Sun King noticed the staff on Luo Ning's back. The staff contained low-key but pure power, but its current shape was very...well, very silly, like a funny sheep's head carved into it.

The staff even has a lifelike bell under the sheep's head carving, just like a child's toy. It's like Luo Ning really chopped off the head of a poor sheep and then put it on the head.

Hanging from the top of the staff.

This thing seems to be deliberately smearing Luo Ning's image, but the Sun King is a person who pays attention to his own style after all, so he did not point out this issue immediately.

"It's Isaac."

"Aethas Sunreaper? Are you kidding me?"

When Luo Ning heard the name, his eyes widened:

"That second-rate spellcasting bastard has the ability to enter the six-person parliament? Oh my God, you are completely humiliating those old-fashioned people. No wonder they let you come here to deal with this big trouble... It seems that they are also angry."

"Mage Aesas' ability, well, is indeed a little lacking."

The Sun King shrugged:

"But he is a very loyal magic guard. I trust him very much. I don't need him to do any great deeds. I only need him to stay in the six-person council as my representative, that's all. Speaking of which,

This staff of yours...let me think about it, it should be called Alunes. The Staff of the Supreme, right? Why does it manifest in such a...such a different way?"

"It."

Luo Ning took off the sheep-headed staff from his back with an unlucky look on his face and shook it in the air. Master Long said very dissatisfied:

"It was forced to obey me, but it was very unwilling to do so, so it deliberately turned into this funny look to laugh at me, or in other words, to make everyone who saw the staff laugh at me. The staff itself

It’s just a jerk, you know? But it works really well.”

"Ahem, your two great mages, the Great Shaman of the Clay Council, Elder Earthfury, has arrived. He is asking us if we can open the Winter Temple and fight with the Frost God Hodir?"

While the two familiar archmages were chatting, a high-level mage from Dalaran asked in a low voice:

"Are you two ready?"

"certainly."

His Majesty the Sun King Kael'thas drew out the legendary long sword with the phoenix flames beating from his waist. He flicked his fingers on the sword. In the buzz of the flames, he nodded to the high-level mage behind him:

"Open it. I also want to see how powerful the ancient gods... are."

Behind him, Luo Ning also followed the Sun King with his funny sheep-headed staff. At the moment when the ice in the Winter Temple peeled off and slowly opened, Kael'thas suddenly asked:

"I heard that Your Excellency, Archmage Jaina, has been feeling a little unwell recently? Is the situation serious?"

This question made Luo Ning blink his eyes, and he pretended to be relaxed and said:

"No! It's nothing serious. Gianna is just too tired. She has almost recovered now. She has woken up from the confusion of her fate. She will return to her home soon. There is no need to worry about her.

"

————————————————————————————

In a temple not far from the ruined Life Greenhouse and Winter Temple, Brian Bronzebeard wearing a helmet and Zhou Zhuo wearing a bulky body armor slipped in with a group of Shado-Pan masters.

, this road is full of all kinds of weird mechanical creations, but for the Shado-Pan masters who are skilled in martial arts, these few mechanical creations do not cause much trouble.

After entering this temple, which is full of mechanical technology, moving gears and beating sparks, these martial arts masters unexpectedly discovered that there was no crazy guardian in this empty temple. On the contrary, there was only one car.

A very familiar metal chariot.

"Hey, isn't this the tank we defeated on the battlefield in the front hall?"

Brian walked around this more sophisticated and compact chariot a few times. He reached out and took off his helmet, scratched his head, and then looked around. Soon, at the edge of this quiet hall, he discovered

A big red button embedded in the metal wall...the button is as big as a human head and is difficult to ignore.

And the most important thing is that above the red button, there is a line of big words written in Titanic, which is like a dog crawling:

"Never press this button!"

That line of big words was like a dazzling warning, but the moment he saw it, Brian's unquenchable curiosity burst out again. Along with the burst of curiosity, there was also a handful of

Zhou Zhuo, a wanderer who looked a little fearful but a little restless, was holding a one-handed sword.

"Tell me, what is this button for?"

Zhou Zhuo blinked at Brian beside him. The old dwarf's fingers jumped a little, but he was quickly slapped hard by his other hand. He hugged the helmet and muttered in a low voice:

"I can't press it...don't ask, I can't..."

"Shua"

A furry hand was placed on the button, Zhou Zhuo struggled, as if he was persuading himself:

"You see, we are here to save this Titan City and kill the ancient god, but the seal cannot be lifted. We must find the owner of this temple, but it is missing now. Maybe, maybe just press it

, it will appear! So, we should press it! The world is waiting for us to save it, we cannot hesitate!"

"Well, what you said seems to make some sense."

Brian frowned. After a moment, he also put his hand on the button. He said to Zhou Zhuo:

"Then let's click?"

"Um!"

The panda nodded, and then emphasized very seriously:

"Just one click!"

"Okay! Just click it!"

The dwarf also nodded, and the two of them took a deep breath at the same time and counted down together:

"3,2,1!"

"Bang"

The big red button was pressed just like that, just like the start button of a certain mechanism. At the moment when the button was pressed, hundreds of jets were activated at the same time around the temple, and waves of scorching energy flames were released.
