"Why is she here?" Chromie frowned as she looked at Sylvanas.
"Any questions?" Benny asked.
"It doesn't affect the matter itself, but are you sure you want her to be involved?"
"You have to tell me the specifics before she can make a decision. ”
"Our goal is a timeline that has been derived for a long time, and the Eternal Dragons have invaded that timeline with their goal is to kill Sylvanas and destroy her corpse when the Scourge invades Quel'Thalas in the 20th year of the Dark Gate of the Human calendar. Chromie said, looking at Benny. "If they succeed, that timeline will completely collapse, it is one of the earliest timelines derived from the point in time, and if it collapses, what will happen to the entire network of time we can't predict either, but it won't be a good thing. ”
"Transformation?" Sylvanas looked at Benny. "You know about this?"
"I've seen it. Benny didn't want to lie to her. "And I think it's better if you don't go. ”
"Are you afraid I'll see a completely different fate of myself?" Sylvanas suddenly furrowed the corners of his mouth. "There's only one Sylvanas Windranger, and she's standing right in front of you, and everyone else, but with the same name, it's common, isn't it?"
"Very good understanding. Chromie looked at Sylvanas. "The others aren't as ------ as open-minded as you. ”
"You've been a little hostile to me since you first appeared, but I haven't seen you before, can you tell me why?" Sylvanas looked at the dragon with his hands on his chest with interest, and Benny seemed to see the thunder and lightning.
"If you see what I see, so will you. Chromie doesn't seem to want to answer the question head-on.
"I don't know what you've seen, but you shouldn't press anything I haven't done on me, all you see is a High Elf called Sylvanas Windranger, it doesn't mean anything to me, I'm me, not any other me, as a bronze dragon who is the guardian of time, you should understand this. ”
"I understand, but that doesn't quench my disgust at those things. I'm a dragon, but I'm not an emotionless machine!"
"Ahem----" Benny stood between the two. "Can we go?"
"Of course. Chromie let out a barely audible grunt and turned and walked to the side of the clearing.
"Handsome. Benny quietly gave Sylvanas a thumbs up. "But it would be embarrassing to go on. ”
"She didn't look like she was here to 'ask for help'. Sylvanas glanced at her lips. "I hate dragons----- except for Issa. ”
"The Illanicus are pretty good, too. Benny touched his chin in thought.
"Let's go. Sylvanas gave Benny a blank look.
Chromie took the form of a dragon in the small clearing, she lowered her massive wings, and the dragon turned to the two of them.
"Come on, it's going to be a little uncomfortable for a while, try not to make a noise, it's dangerous to travel through the flow of time. ”
"Maybe we can use teleportation?" Benny asked, standing on the dragon's back.
"Time is limited, and Malfurion is already in the Cave of Time. ”
The dragon soared into the sky with wings, and the air and light around it distorted, and the massive dragon disappeared into thin air.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Traversing the turbulence of time is similar to the feeling of teleporting books for a long time, Benny and Sylvanas are already a little used to it, so it is not so uncomfortable, but the sudden scorching air around them makes them slightly uncomfortable.
Located in the eastern part of a desert called Tanaris on the continent of Kalimdor, the Cavern of Time is a scorching area filled with quicksand, often used by the bronze dragon to represent time, which may be why Nozdom chose it as its home.
The interior of the Cavern of Time is somewhat dry, but not as scorching as the desert outside. Time streamed into visible light that traveled through the walls of the cave, bronze into various races that traveled here, but Benny didn't see the dwarves.
"Why do dragons never become dwarves?"
"Dwarves often become 'dragon hunters', and most dragons don't like them very much. Chromie explained.
Benny had never heard of such a statement.
"Why do you like to be a dwarf?" Benny was curious in his previous life.
"Because the bronze dragon is the shortest of the dragons, and the gnomes are very intelligent. Chromie floated in the air, greeting the other bronze dragons in the cave from time to time----- in a very awkward language, not even sounding like a language, more like a dragon purring through its throat.
"Is that the flow of time?" Sylvanas pointed to the colorful lights around the walls like auroras.
"Or maybe it's the river of time, the source is with Lord Nozdorm, but ----- he hasn't been there for a long time. ”
Chromie flew along the tall cavern with his huge wings, and as soon as the vision in front of him widened, the two of them and a dragon came to a place that looked like a square.
The dragonmen guarded a massive platform that took up almost the entire square, and on the platform was a massive bronze dragon that appeared to be twice as big as Chromie.
Behind the dragon stood a large hourglass that looked like several hourglasses, and the flow of time around it kept drifting towards the hourglass.
"It's an artifact of the Bronze Dragons, and with it, we can travel through time freely. Chromie gestured to the dragon lying on the platform. "That's Zaladom, he's a direct son of Nozdom, and in your words he's called Prince. "Bronze dragons generally don't rank themselves except in battle, and dragons below Nozdom get along equally, even dragons and dragon heads.
Chromie suddenly waved into the distance.
The only emblematic giant antlers are Malfurion, who is flanked by Thrall and a bronze dragon who transforms into a High Elf woman.
"That's Solidom, the spouse of Lord Nozdom, who is in charge of monitoring the timing of the Battle of Mount Hyjal----- all the time streams. Chromie reminded.
"Hello. Benny stroked his chest, he didn't skimp on his respect, just in terms of age, she was completely enough, didn't she?
"Hello, Benedict Smith, Lord of the Dawn and Servant of the Light. Solidomi replied solemnly. "I'm glad you can help. ”
"The flow of time is about all of us, isn't it?" Benny looked at Malfurion and Sal.
"I knew you'd come, I just didn't expect it to be so slow. Malfurion hugged Benny with open arms. "We're going to fight side by side again, brother. ”
"I'm not used to being so intimate with men. Benny pushed Malfurion away in disgust.
"You're still the same. Malfurion let out a loud laugh.
"Hello, Grand Chief. Benny nodded to Sal.
"Just call me Sal. The orc smiled kindly, but the fangs made his smile less kind.
"Please follow me. Solidomi looked at the crowd with a smile. "I'd love to entertain you, but time is limited, the Dragons of Eternity have already begun to act, they have become undead, hidden in the army of the Scourge, and your mission is to protect Sylvanas who has completed her transformation until she becomes the Queen of the Forsaken. ”
Benny was stunned for a moment and looked at Sylvanas, he thought that Sylvanas would complete the mission after becoming a banshee, but he didn't expect ------ this was not a good task.
It's okay, no matter what happens, I'm not going to change. A crisp smile appeared on Sylvanas' face under his cloak.
The group followed Solidomi along the path next to the hourglass platform, passing familiar buildings along the way, and Benny even saw a house flying the flag of Lordaeron.
"That's the Stratholme flow of time, which has just been carved out. Solidomi explained. "A person like Arthas, who has had a great influence on history, has always been the target of the Eternal Dragon, and that point was when Arthas slaughtered the city. ”
"Why did they choose Sylvanas as their target?" Benny knew very well that nothing like that had happened in his previous life.
In that stream of time, her fate was linked to the fate of the tribe. Solidomi didn't say it explicitly. "I can't say much about the specifics, revealing the future will not do you or me any good. ”、
"How are we going to protect that ----- Sylvanas?" Sal asked. "We are not undead. ”
"We'll use spells to disguise you as death knights and necromancers. Solidomi said. "You have to show as little of your power as possible, and above all, you must not reveal your identity. ”
"It's not a simple question. Benny's brow furrowed. "My power is the Light, and once I manifest it-----"
"There are also those who can use the Light among the undead, all you have to say is that you have awakened the memories and beliefs of your life, and you only need to stop the Eternal Dragon, and Sylvanas Windranger will become the Queen of the Forsaken. Solidomi stopped at the fork in a cave. "It's here. ”
"Is this ----- Eternal Song Forest?" Sylvanas was familiar with every plant and tree in Quel'Salas, and the cavern was full of strange plants that could only be found in a forest, and she even saw a few mana mayflies floating in the air.
"A week ago, we discovered the intentions of the Eternal Dragon, so we embodied this time stream, and through this passage, you will go out to the Eternalsong Forest of that time stream, at that time, the Scourge army has just broken through the gates of Quel'Salas and marched towards the Bridge of the Silver Moon, where the Sylvanas Windranger of that time stream will be transformed into a banshee, we don't know what the Eternal Dragon has become and where it is hidden, so you must hide in the Scourge army until the Eternal Dragon appears. ”
"What about the enemy's specific information?" asked Sylvanas.
Solidomi was silent for a moment, the expression on his face a little uncertain.
"The Eternal Dragons have similar abilities to ours, and they use the power of time, so Chromie will follow you into that flow of time. ”
"Isn't there anything more specific?" Sylvanas frowned, a general temporal force could not be called intelligence.
"I'll tell you on the way. Chromie picked up.
"We're going to hang out with the undead, do you have any other suggestions, for example----- is there a good way to keep out their stench?" Salti joked as he mentioned his hammer, and the atmosphere was a little too tense.
"I'm sorry to involve you in this, it's supposed to be our duty. Solidomi suddenly turned around and bowed to the crowd, Nozdom was missing, and as his spouse, she now represented the Bronze Dragons.
"We all survive in this world, so we have an obligation to maintain it, and it is also our duty, the Keeper of Time. Benny stroked his chest in return.
"Let's go. Benny crossed Solidomi and walked deeper into the cavern. The Bronze Dragon King's spouse sighed behind him.
The group walked deeper into the cavern, and the streams of time converged along the roof of the cave to form a glowing portal.
Benny looked at Sylvanas, who nodded, and the two walked through the portal together.
"He was the bravest of all the humans I had ever met. Malfurion looked at Sal and smiled. "Or ----- reckless?"
"Maybe it's bravery. Thrall grinned his fangs and stepped into the portal with the Grand Druid.
It's a wonderful feeling to travel through the flow of time, it's completely different from reading a note in a previous life and changing places, and it's full of all kinds of images that flow by quickly, as if you're really traveling through time----- which is actually the case.
It was as if someone had pressed the stop button, and the surrounding scenery suddenly stopped, and everyone had appeared in an elf-style room, which was a little dilapidated, as if they had just experienced a war.
The air around them was strangely stagnant, and even the dust floated in the air without falling.
"This is a time-stream monitoring outpost. Chromie floated beside Benny and pointed to the door, where a layer of fluorescent light enveloped it. "Getting out of there is the real flow of time. ”
"Crodom. The fluorescence fluctuated, and a High Elf in a white robe walked in.
"This is Nosari, a member of the Quicksand Scales, who is now in charge of this monitoring station. Chromie introduced.
"Hello. Nosally nodded. "Time is of the essence, Alsace will soon arrive at the Silver Moon Bridge, and we must set off immediately. ”
"Don't you need a disguise?" Benny looked at himself and the others, as if nothing had changed.
"Take this. Chromie didn't know where to take out a few skins and handed them to the crowd. "The Cloak of Time is undetectable by ordinary spells. ”
"How about this as a reward for this mission?" said Benny, looking at the ordinary cloak.
"It doesn't work outside of the flow of time. Chromie tapped his staff. "Let's go. ”
"It's a pity. Benny smiled at Malfurion. "That's a nice thing. ”
"There's something Tyrande has the same effect there, and I can give it to you when I get back. Malfurion walked to the door and put on his cloak.
"Speaking of Tyrande, will she let you out?" Benny gave Malfurion a look you know.
"Why not?" said Malfurion, turning and walking through the fluorescent barrier on the door. (To be continued.) )
