I traveled through time and space and became the Archbishop of Stormwind!

After a moment of silence, Cordelia's voice, raised an octave, came from the other end of the magic shell.

"Vikus? Vikus Fury of the Abyss?! Wait—Alvin! Where the hell are you now?! What did you do to my most capable Tide Commander?! Explain it to me clearly!!!"

Alvin sighed, rubbed his still aching temple, and explained the situation to the other side of the shell as concisely as possible.

From how the Naga fought fiercely with the Night Elves, to how he followed Vikus into the underground, from this topaz cave filled with earth energy, to Vikus' crazy plan to blow up the entire ruins of Eldaras and everyone in it.

The other side of the shell fell into a longer silence, with only the subtle sound of water flowing, as if the owner on the other end was trying to digest this incredible information.

Finally, Cordelia's voice sounded again, her tone had returned to calm.

"Wikus, should I praise your bravery or call you stupid? Her Majesty the Queen granted you authority to recover lost territory and restore the Empire's glory, not to wipe these precious ancient relics off the map! You blew everything to dust. How is that any different from failure? All you got was a scorched earth! Your brain is simply filled with octopus slime! Totally foolish!"

General Vikus, who had been ferocious and desperate for death just now, completely lost his momentum the moment he heard Cordelia's voice.

Even though he was tied up by tough vines like a giant seafood about to be put into a pot, and could only twist on the ground in a panic, he tried to raise his head and tried to face the magical shell that was emitting a faint glow.

There was a look of panic on his scaly face, as if he was a child caught doing something wrong by his parents, and his tone became anxious and humble.

"Lady Cordelia! My noble lady! I, I, I just want to clear the obstacles for Her Majesty the Queen! The Kaldorei are resisting too stubbornly, and there are also dragons. I just want to achieve a complete victory worthy of Lady Vashj's expectations!"

His voice gradually became quieter, almost a mutter. There was no trace of his previous madness, only obvious awe for Cordelia.

Alvin and Green Shadow exchanged glances, both stunned by the huge contrast between the Naga commander's previous and current behavior.

Cordelia seemed to rub her brows again, her voice already showing impatience: "Enough! There are always many excuses for failure. Forget it, Wikus, please shut up. Alvin,"

Her tone softened a little.

"Give me the shell."

"I am listening."

Alvin responded quickly, bringing the shell close to his ear.

Cordelia's voice was clear and direct.

"For my sake, Alvin, please let this guy go. Of course..."

She changed the subject subtly.

"If you really can't bear this, or if you really need a pair of Naga leather shoes, then you can do whatever you want with him. I won't ruin our... 'friendship' for a fool."

"Miss! No! Spare me! Lord Alvin! I was wrong! I won't do it again!"

Vikus was so frightened by what he heard that he no longer cared about his dignity as a commander-in-chief. He immediately screamed for mercy and twisted his body even more violently.

Alvin looked at the farce before him and sighed helplessly.

"Why, Cordelia? I had no intention of doing anything to him. I simply wanted him to stop his mad plan and answer a few questions. I came to this part of Azshara on another important mission—I'm looking for someone."

"Find someone?"

Cordelia's voice on the other side of the shell immediately rose a few notches, clearly showing interest.

"Are you here to look for me? You still have some conscience! You know that the shortest way to reach my Vashj'ir is by sea from Eldaras!"

Her tone was full of anticipation.

Alvin suddenly felt his scalp tingling, and it seemed as if several invisible black lines really appeared on his forehead.

He certainly didn't come here specifically to see her, but it would be unwise to deny it directly at this moment.

I had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue with the conversation: "Uh... Of course, I wanted to come to you for help. After all, you are very familiar with this sea area and coastline."

He hastened to add,

"And then, I'd like to ask you to help me see if you can find the person I'm really looking for."

"Hmph, that's pretty much it."

Cordelia seemed to enjoy the flattery. Through the magic shell, Alvin could almost imagine her smiling with her chin slightly raised.

"Tell me, who are you looking for? There are many people in this area that I, Cordelia Vashj, haven't heard of."

Alvin took a deep breath and said the name: "I heard that on the northern coast of this place, there lives a powerful blue dragon lord named Azuregos."

"Azuregos?"

Cordelia whispered the name several times, searching her memory.

"It sounds familiar, like it happened a long time ago. I remember he was a blue dragon? Well, I don't pay much attention to dragons that hide in their lairs all day guarding treasures or pondering strange magic. They usually don't like salt water."

Her tone indicated she had little interest.

"Why are you looking for a blue dragon? Do you want to use its scales for armor or its sinews for bowstrings?"

Alvin explained, "No, no, a friend of mine has been struck by a very evil spell. He's become dull-witted and his mind is completely closed. I heard that Lord Azuregos is very ancient and extremely proficient in arcane magic and various spell-breaking techniques, especially magic involving the mind. So I want to find him and ask for his help. Perhaps he can find a way to remove the spell from my friend."

Cordelia paused for a moment. "Oh, I see. It's to save people. It's a good idea, but I really don't know where the blue dragon is. The northern coastline is very long, with countless cliffs and caves, and many places are shielded by magic. If he's really hiding, he'll be hard to find."

At that moment, Vikus, who was tied up tightly beside him, suddenly became agitated again. He twisted his body eagerly, almost putting his face close to Alvin's hand holding the shell, and hissed sharply, "I know! I know! Azuregos! That big guy with a bad temper who summons lightning all day long! He lives on the highest Storm Peaks on the northern coastline! The entrance to his lair is hidden behind a cape that is almost always shrouded in thunderclouds! Several of our patrols got too close before, and many people were injured by the lightning storms and wind barriers he summoned! The magical fluctuations over there are very strong, and we didn't dare to get close at all! Absolutely right!"
