17. Freedom and travel
"You bastard, you've kept me waiting so long..."
Gianna hugged Dick's left arm, her face full of grief, of course, more of a surprise at the loss of a certain treasure, that joy could not be faked, and Liadeline stood to his right, not coquettish with her arms, just standing there, but the joy in those beautiful eyes could not be concealed either.
Sylvanas sat across from Dick, her eyes sweeping over his face almost inch by inch, as if to see a hint of change in the barely changed face, which was naturally futile, but when everyone was reunited, Shiva was able to hold on to that reserve, even though he wanted to knock Dick down directly.
The most dignified Queen Kalia sat by the window of the office that had been sealed in dust for 2,000 years, and seemed unwilling to gather with others to welcome his return, but from the touch of comfort and heartfelt relaxation on her face when she squinted at the scenery outside the window, it could be seen that Her Majesty was also in a very good mood.
Just as something missing in the heart has been filled, the cold heart itself rejoices because of this fill-up, which is the joy of completeness, and in the end it is the best answer to the hard work of the past.
Sometimes, people's needs are really simple, waiting and finally reaping, and that's the best ending.
After spending two hours in a warm and touching atmosphere with the women who missed him and the women he also missed, Dick got up to leave the office, he still had a lot to do, he needed to talk to the Star Spirit, even after he had made up his mind not to get involved in the affairs of the world, and those old friends for many years, he had to have a good drink.
As he stood up, Shiva pounced on him and gave him a warm hug, and the gentle expression that had been maintained for hours finally collapsed in tears, feeling the trembling body, Dick put his chin on the top of Sylvanas's head and embraced her with both hands.
"Well, I'm back, I won't leave again. ”
"You swear!"
Dick's child-like request stunned, and then he looked at the people around him, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his two fingers were put together,
"Well... I swear, I will never leave you again. ”
"Boom"
A dull sound sounded from the sky, the language of the gods is powerful, especially when they open their mouths to swear, the existence of this power will produce a special kind of bondage, the more noble the status, the more insistence and importance they will attach to the oath, let alone the existence of Dick.
Shiva let go of Dick with a sniff, and she looked at him pitifully like a little flower cat.
"That's it. ”
"Well, that's it!"
Dick smiled and touched her head, turned and walked out the door, and then felt another person standing behind him, and he turned around to meet the embrace of Kalia, who had been silent.
He was a little caught off guard, although at the beginning, the relationship between the two was more of a misunderstanding, but now, Dick felt that he should accept it, he reached out and hugged Kalia's body with some emotion, and then heard the queen whisper,
"Welcome back,. ”
"Thank you, Kalia... I, I will not leave you again. ”
This special reunion made each other feel emotional, and when he left the room, Dick's eyes were a little sour, but he had to admit that this feeling of being willing to have someone wait for you for a thousand years was really good, and the feeling of someone treating you as the best treasure was enough to immerse oneself in it.
This is the feeling of being loved, and the best gift for those who have traveled far away.
He wandered through the city of Ulduar, which he had returned more than once in the form of dreams in the course of 2,000 years, and when he looked at the city from a special perspective, he suddenly realized that everything that existed here seemed to be a proof of his distant past.
What impressed him the most was that the whole world was changing, it had become dizzying for him, making him feel strange, but only the city was as thick as ever, a sense of eternal existence hidden from time, like a guardian standing on the edge of the world, watching the world slowly change.
Dick likes this feeling, when he sees those earth spirit servants who are busy in the city, he will greet them with a smile, some old servants who have existed here 2000 years ago, will be very excited to talk and communicate with him, it seems that because of Dick's return, the city is also filled with a positive feeling, as if it has come to life!
His figure vanished from the ground, appearing on the highest dome of Ulduar, covered by thousands of years of snowfall, and he stood in it, looking out over the edge of the Storm Cliffs, an out-of-earth land that was almost the slowest to change in Azeroth, and seemed to still retain the scenery of 2,000 years ago, making him feel like he had returned to his own time.
"You're so laid-back. ”
A gentle voice came from behind him, Dick didn't look back, he just shook his hand, as if to welcome the man, "Aren't you just as laid-back, are you ready to get out of this world?"
Elune walked behind Dick, and she and Dick stood in a line, looking at the scenery in the distance through the storm and snow, and after a moment, when the atmosphere between the two became silent, Elune nodded,
"In the past 2,000 years, the world has changed at an incredible rate, it has exceeded the sum of the past hundreds of thousands of years, and the power that this world has fed back to me is getting stronger and stronger, if I want, I can break away from Azeroth now and become a true star spirit... Entering a long period of growth. ”
Dick pondered for a moment, and then looked up at the stars, the eternal galaxy that seemed to harbor endless secrets,
"What about the Titan's body?
"There is an uninhabited planet in the Rune Star Sector, which is very suitable for my requirements, as early as 1000 years ago, I have chosen it, and it has been delayed until now, after your return, I feel that I can safely hand over this world to you, and then go to the depths of the stars to shape my Titan body... Iona will go with me. ”
Elune sighed, rubbing her forehead with a little headache,
"But you threw me a big problem as soon as you came back, Azeroth looks strong now, but it still needs a guardian to oversee the direction of civilization, you said you need to rest, so who can I give this responsibility to? ”
Dick did not answer immediately in the face of this complaint, and after a few minutes of silence, he stretched out his finger and shook it in front of Elune,
"Don't worry, wait for me a little longer, I'll solve this problem perfectly. ”
"Oh?
Elune looked at him with interest, her eyes full of curiosity, as pregnant with an endless starry sky as Dick, "Did you find another sleeping star spirit in 2000 years of imprisonment?"
"No!"
Dick put his hands behind his back, his eyes slightly closed, "Actually, 2000 years ago, I was already preparing for this, I promised you and Iona that we would rebuild the Pantheon, and now, the time has come!"
Elune's expression became extremely serious at this moment,
"You found them?"
Tens of thousands of years ago, the meeting between the Pantheon and the Dark Titans in the peaceful land of Najaran was brewed by Sargeras into a raid, and the Pantheon was completely destroyed in that war, Agrama was captured by Sargeras, Iona desperately fled, and the other Titan spirits, when they were on the verge of death, were saved by a mysterious spell by the prepared Mysteries Keeper Nogannon.
On Dick's Path to the Titans, there was also information about the final whereabouts of those Titan spirits, but it was so far away from Azeroth that even after 2000 years, it would be difficult for their fleets to cross the endless starry sky to reach the depths of the universe.
And once this news is known to the Dark Titans, then the Titan spirits, who have no ability to fight back, will fall into an extremely dangerous situation.
Elune had been looking for news of the brothers, but she hadn't imagined that Dick had prepared everything about the matter before he disappeared.
He let out a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand and waved it in the air in front of him, and the canopy of the eternal night was opened at this moment, under the control of a higher and powerful will, and a warm golden sunlight opened from the canopy, shining like a sharp sword in the cold cliffs.
The giant white eagle soaring in the sky swirled around the light, looking like the most perfect interpretation of the mythical first light of the first opening of heaven and earth.
Dick stood in the middle of the glowing circle, his eyes slightly closed, his hands open, as if enjoying the rays of the day, and he flicked his fingers, and the sun became even hotter.
"Yes, I found them, I wanted to look for them after Agus, but I was 2000 years late, but it doesn't matter, the long wait will end today, I will bring them back, this is what I have to do. ”
Elune's face was smiling, she didn't doubt Dick's claims, the paladin had always been a trustworthy person, whether it was in the hard years of 2,000 years ago, and now, he was as reliable as ever.
She stretched out her hand and flicked it in the air in front of her, and on the other side of the sky, a bright moonlight shone down from the sky, this magical view of the sun and moon in the sky attracted many exclaims, but for the star spirit, it was just a small game.
"Have you really decided to rest? Dick, this is not like you, you are not like this in your memory, you will always be full of enthusiasm, you will never frown in the face of all difficulties, you will never be tired, now you look more like a person than a Titan, Titans will not be tired. ”
Dick glanced back at Elune, and he shook his head,
"I've pushed this world far as a mortal, it's the limit of what I can do, now that my time has passed, let it sleep in time, Elune, this world is theirs after all, we have to learn to let go, they have their challenges, we have our opponents, it's a great thing for mortals to know that they have some gods above their heads, they can explore and develop as best they can, and in the worst moments, there will always be gods who come out to solve problems. ”
The paladin's eyes were raised, and he smiled like a cat that was very content in the sun,
"You see, we just need to be prepared to solve the problem... For the rest, let them think for themselves, I won't take them all the way to the top of the star field, I used to be a guardian, now I'm a titan, I've never been a nanny. ”
"A free journey belonging to the civilization of Azeroth is about to begin, so let's do one last thing for them. ”5610
