Chapter 328 The Black Dragon Princess's Invitation
Chapter 328 The Black Dragon Princess's Invitation
Lorraine, who was still eavesdropping, was startled. What was this? It ended before she could hear any more secrets?
What are these people doing?
Unbeknownst to him, during a moment of absentmindedness, a person was standing in front of him.
It was none other than Countess Katarina, the Alliance Ambassador. She stared intently at him, as if trying to see right through him...
"Very good, you didn't leave. Perfect, I admire your talent. Mr. Barbaras, come with me. I'm willing to offer you a high-paying position as a court poet, composing poems and documents for the royal family, with a monthly salary of 200 gold coins, and the title of a superior servant... how about that..."
"Superior class? Servant..."
Rowling was embarrassed...
"I am a poet, not an entertainer... much less a vaudeville performer, and 'superior' doesn't mean 'servant'..."
The other party's condescending attitude made Rowling somewhat annoyed.
Suddenly, the town mayor appeared and quickly introduced her, saying that the beautiful black-haired woman was Countess Katarina & Priest from Stormwind. She was in charge of the city's finances and construction, and her brother had also distinguished himself in Blackrock Mountain, overseeing the Dark Portal in the Blasted Lands and commanding the suppression of rebellions.
The famous Black Dragon siblings were unknown to his apprentice, but Luo Lin already had a deep impression of them.
Stormwind City was rebuilt into a magnificent city by the Stonemasons Guild over many years, but their wages were withheld. The Countess accused the craftsmen of maliciously demanding their wages and refusing to pay, which led to the Defias Rebellion.
The Countess's brother commands troops at the Blackrock Mountain front, and the once peaceful Burning Plains are now seething with unrest...
The Blackrock orcs are unusually active, and the conflict between the Dark Iron dwarves and Ironforge is about to escalate into a new war...
The king has disappeared...
The culprit, though unknown to others, was someone Rowling knew perfectly well. His poem, "My Beloved Princess of Azeroth," subtly alluded to these events; whether those with the inclination would understand its meaning remains to be seen.

Although he barely participated in Blackwing Lair back then, he had still heard of Onyxia and Nefarian.
The Black Dragon Aspect, in his human form, assumed the alias Baron Priest and nearly made a name for himself in Lordaeron, inheriting the legacy of the Kingdom of Alterac. Deathwing's plot against Neltharion, the Black Dragon Aspect, was thwarted by the once-young Archmage Rhonin, but the shadow of the Black Dragons did not dissipate.
If it weren't for the outbreak of the undead plague back then, Baron Putrish would have already infiltrated the upper echelons of the human kingdoms, arousing suspicion in Dalaran.
A man of unknown origin almost became the son-in-law of the benevolent king of Lordaeron, and Arthas's sister almost married the Black Dragon King... In the blink of an eye, the Black Dragon King disappeared without a trace.
Some legendary figures and guardian dragons know the truth, but ordinary people may not even know what happened that nearly destroyed the world.
The Black Dragon race is arrogant and brutal...that's the impression of mortals.
They dwell in mountain caves and lava fields, unfazed by fire and heat, and crave gold and treasure. Cunning and treacherous, powerful and tyrannical... Compared to the Red Dragon Queen, the Oathbinder who inherits the life force, and the Black Dragon, representing the earth's power as the origin of life, their earth-elemental power is significantly larger than that of ordinary dragons.
A giant dragon, as large as a mountain, transformed into human form and hid in the human kingdom—this was a unique and secret technique.
Lord Krasus of Dalaran is proficient in this kind of magic. As the youngest consort of the Red Dragon Queen, he has been helping high elf mages and human mage apprentices in Dalaran to use magical power properly.
The Blue Dragon Council and the Black Dragons, even including the Eternal Dragonflight and the Yellow Dragons of the Bronze Age Dragon Lair, have no compassion for the Red Dragons.
However, the red dragon's life flames can also burn everything. The red dragon queen was once enslaved and used as a breeding tool to create new five-colored dragonmen for the black dragon king... The orc clans, driven by demons, were the first to conduct this experiment.
After the Burning Legion's demons were repelled, someone secretly took over the experiment of creating life, and Blackrock Mountain has become a secret fortress.
Rolin knew that the king's disappearance was the work of Onyxia, the black dragon princess, and her brother Nefarian, one of the root causes of the chaos within the Alliance. But what exactly were the black dragons' goals?
Rowling wasn't entirely clear on the details, and his apprentice listened to his tales as if they were legends, recounting the Battle of Blackrock Mountain, surrounded by the Burning Steppes and Searing Gorge... and the entanglements between the Three Hammers dwarves and the dragons...
Even beneath Blackrock Mountain, in the elemental plane of Molten Core, the fire elemental lord Naggarath is not the final boss...
They all serve the Void Lords; the Old Gods, Balrogs, black dragons, dwarves, and orcs are just tools...
The sheer power of the villains was beyond the comprehension of mortals... those towering, awe-inspiring figures still held a part of the teacher's body... Lorraine suddenly realized that the challenges ahead might be far more difficult than what she was facing now...
The cunning and deceit of mortals are like ants in the face of absolute power disparity.
Faced with the olive branch offered by the human countess Katarina & Putrice, who was actually the incarnation of the black dragon princess, the apprentice advised his teacher to accept it... The teacher could go to Stormwind City in the Alliance and take a look, with a monthly salary of two hundred gold coins and the position of court poet... This treatment was already much better than that of ordinary nobles.
This was the wealth and status that little Lorraine had always dreamed of!
"Fool, do you think you'll live to take it and live to spend it? Don't let beauty and wealth blind you. Gold is too heavy; gold you can't take is a death warrant. You've already run out of tools to commit the crime, so why can't you overcome your worldly desires? Let your teacher set an example for you."
Teacher Rowling wasn't stupid; the countess opposite was ruthless... Black Dragon taking down a child in one bite was no joke.
"I apologize, Your Excellency, but I actually yearn for a free and unrestrained life and cannot tolerate too many constraints. I come from the mountains and am unfamiliar with etiquette. I traveled thousands of miles just to see the true face of Dalaran. Compared to the royal court, I would much rather be a citizen of Dalaran. I am very sorry..."
Barbaras bowed deeply.
He rejected the beautiful woman with dark hair.
This shocked everyone present.
Someone dares to refuse Countess Katharina & Putrice... Does he have a death wish?
Mayor Bonn trembled. He knew Barbaras's wish, but given the Countess's status, even a refusal should have been made more tactful. He hadn't expected the stranger Barbaras to be so resolute, causing the atmosphere to freeze.
The Countess's personal guards instinctively drew their swords, ready to behead Rolin at her command!
