147 What is a Time Watcher?
Oryx, on the other hand, had already wiped his hands, summoned [Imitation Solarion], and took a few steps back to assume a defensive stance.
He didn't quite believe that the blonde dwarf in front of him was Chromie.
He even suspected that the other party was an assassin sent by Saratas, but he was stunned when the other party said two words that Angmar and the Time Warden had no idea to outsiders.
"Hmm, you're wary...... No wonder the Mission rated your vigilance a 'B+'. I can't seem to prove that I'm me, but don't worry, I'm not a threat to you. ”
Chromie sat down on the windowsill, jumped down with his hands propped up, and looked him up and down, his eyes full of curiosity, like a curious dwarf no matter how he looked, and almost said "Oh my God, you're so tall."
Oryx came to his senses and lowered his guard slightly, but his head was still full of question marks.
Chromie, the famous bronze dragon.
Ever since the Third War allowed the Five-Colored Dragons to see the potential of mortals and begin to fully cooperate with mortals to protect Azeroth, Chromie has been serving as the Bronze Dragon's liaison officer, responsible for engaging with mortals.
From time to time, recruit some adventurous heroes, send out tasks, let people help the bronze dragon maintain and maintain the timeline, collect and collect time relics, and fend off the eternal dragon clan who intends to subvert the timeline or something.
In the plot, Nozdorm is blessed by the Titan Al-Mansur, and his people are transformed by the high-ranking guardian Rai, who has the ability to talk about time.
But whether it is observing time or controlling time, even the screenwriter himself can't say. At the end of the day, this is too high, but there are no clear boundaries to limit it.
Not only can it take powerful artifacts such as the "Dragon's Soul" from another timeline, but the fallen Eternal Dragon at the end of time can even subvert the timeline, causing the entire timeline to collapse and destroy, in some ways, more terrifying than the Fallen Titan Sargeras and the Void Lord combined.
According to the Bronze Dragon's abilities, from the Titan Al-Mansur, who is based at the apex of the known realm of order, time is suspected to belong to the realm of order. But what it can do is far beyond the scope of this Origin Power Realm.
Even the Titan Al-Mansur himself has never used the ability.
It can only be said that the bronze dragon and the "time" it represents, is a very tragic setting, and when the gameplay is added, it is pulled out to make some copies, and it is brushed aside in the plot, saving BUGS......
Regardless, the Bronze Dragon maintains the main timeline of Azeroth.
Previously, Aurix had always doubted that he, the time-traveler, would be cleared by the bronze dragon as a destabilizing factor that disrupted the timeline.
In other words, when the time-traveler crosses over, he has already become a part of the corresponding timeline.
But there is no way to refer to even its own setting, and there is no answer to this question at all.
I'm afraid, I'm afraid, this extremely reasonable real world will present the first possibility according to the setting that is untenable in itself, and when the time comes, a bronze dragon will come to the door, but it will be difficult to do.
Now a bronze dragon is coming.
Not only did he come, but he also said that he was also a member of the Time Watchers, and he also knew that Angmar often brushed his presence in his "golden finger......
How could this keep Oryx from being surprised?
One is in the plot, but the other is not at all, how did these two things intersect?
"Are you going to stand here and look at me all day?" Cromy said briskly, stepping over to his desk and sitting down, his two little short legs dangling underneath.
Oryx lowered his weapon and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Chromie...... My lord, I'm a little too wary. Well...... Would you like tea? ”
I always feel a little embarrassed to just stand like this.
Since it's a "Time Watcher" visitor, you don't have to worry too much. A few days ago, Prince Kael'thas sent a batch of fine blood thistle leaves, cigarettes of high quality, and tea ......
It may not be a tea in the usual sense, but the faint arcane energy contained in the blood thistle can make it taste great.
"Don't worry, I understand, after all, I've just experienced a few assassinations, it's normal...... Drink. Chromie waved his hand nonchalantly.
Do you even know this?
Oryx, who was making tea in the back, was frightened, and his hand movements couldn't help but stop. After a few minutes, he brewed the blood thistle tea from Quel'Thalas, tossed in a few dried chrysanthemums, and handed them to Chromie.
"Oh, thank you!"
Chromie happily took the chrysanthemum blood thistle tea, took a sip in both hands, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Kael'thas just knows how to enjoy, a few blood thistle leaves, they all condense the efforts of a master for three hundred years."
Chromie could clearly see many other things in a simple blood thistle leaf.
Oryx stood silently, waiting for the other to say anything. But after waiting for a long time, I could only hear the sound of sipping hot tea.
Looking up, Chromie was completely immersed in the taste of the tea, her cheeks slightly reddened and her face satisfied.
Oryx frowned slightly, and asked tentatively, "Lord Chromie, are you going to say something to me?" ”
"Huh? Who, who's talking? ”
Chromie slammed onto the table, apparently startled, and spilled all the tea.
"Who are you? Why in my cave? ”
Oryx was confused, this Chromie, how did it seem to ......
"Master Cromy, I'm Oryx Rivendell. This is not your lair, but my mansion. You came here five minutes ago and claimed that I had passed the test of Master Angmar, and that you, as my liaison to this timeline, had come to tell me something. ”
"Ah," Chromie said, with a blank look, "yes, I remember...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but I often can't figure out where I am when I travel through the timeline so often. Belch...... What are you asking me? ”
Oryx had a black line in his head, "It's not that I'm going to ask you anything, it's what you're going to tell me." ”
"Oh, okay...... I think I'm going to say something......"
Chromie pondered for a moment and said, "Yes, congratulations, you have been promoted to mid-level Time Warden. In accordance with the organization's rules, I will serve as your mentor and liaison to guide you on the next steps. Now you can ask me questions, and I'll know everything. ”
Oryx felt more and more that this Chromie's thinking was too out-of-the-box......
He organized the wording and asked, "What do you do with ...... No, what is the relationship between the Bronze Dragon and the Time Watcher? ”
"Ah, that's a good question," Chromie's eyes widened, as if quicksand was surging through his eyes, "you, in the 35,780,000 timelines, all asked this question at the beginning......"
Oryx was stunned on the spot.
Self in other timelines? Still so much?
As if seeing his surprise, Chromie asked in confusion, "Why are you so surprised?" Isn't it normal for each choice made by an individual to split into a different timeline? Let's go back to your question, I want to ask you, what is 'time' in your eyes? ”
I'm asking you, what do you test me for. Even the screenwriter can't tell, can I tell?
Oryx shook his head calmly, "I don't know. ”
Chromie fumbled in his arms for a while, and pulled out a ...... that Orix was all too familiar with
Folder.
The pungent smell of cheap small commodities and the color of the blue skin can't be wrong!
Isn't this the cover used to hold the Angmar Quotes?
"Looks like you recognize this thing, that's easy, you read it." Chromie opens the folder, revealing its contents.
Oryx narrowed his eyes, only to see a line of Chinese characters written on it with wild grass dragons and phoenixes, and he really didn't know what was written if he couldn't tell it well.
"Blizzard's ......," he muttered, "timeline setting...... It's just a lump of ...... Excrement? ”
"That's right!" Chromie nodded happily, "If it weren't for Lord Angmar, even we bronze dragons wouldn't have figured out what it was......"
Oryx was speechless for a moment, and his curiosity about the Angmar people grew stronger and stronger.
"Let's get back to your question. The Time Watchers, a super-large organization spanning an endless timeline, were founded by Lord Angmar Morningstar...... You don't understand the serial number...... Anyway, it was created in 191 of the Black Gate calendar of that timeline. I'm from that timeline, and it's not me in that timeline that I'm standing in front of you. ”
Oryx became increasingly confused.
This Angmar ...... How does it sound like a time-traveler senior?
"Yes, you're smart, you're right, Angmar is a traverser. It was he who told us that the whole infinite world is actually a concrete world of some people's stories, and it was he who helped us fill in some loopholes and let us know the truth of the universe. ”
Oryx was speechless again.
"But...... Lady Cromy, I didn't say anything. ”
"Huh?" Chromie frowned, and then said cheerfully, "Oh, you didn't say that. It's you in another timeline who speaks, and after saying that, he didn't carry the corruption of Saratas and became a heartless monster, I confused it, sorry, sorry. ”
This is also too unreliable...... Oryx asked instead, "What about ...... Who are the people in the Time Watchers? ”
"A time-traveler like you...... Well, there are also some plot characters who have been recruited by Master Angmar, like me. Chromie shook his legs.
……
The conversation lasted for several hours.
The facts shocked Oryx.
The so-called Time Watcher turned out to be a super organization formed by a time-traveler predecessor who had reached the end of the six origin powers, and even transcended the entire universe. Its members include all kinds of beings, including Azeroth beings, cosmic beings, and it is said that there are even several Nephitians, and there are even time-travelers like him.
And every time-traveler who has obtained the "Book of Time" is burdened with the burden of increasing the increase in proportion to the "Golden Finger" - the more they change the course of history, the greater the resistance they will encounter, and they must pass the test and beat of the Book of Time, constantly hone themselves, and finally gain insight into the mysteries of time......
What Orix thinks and how he hears it, the Book of Time is a filter for selecting talents. Those who pass the selection are selected to do great things. Those who did not pass the selection...... and died.
What Angmar is so powerful, how can there be any other existence that can pose a threat to him?
So what do you have to do with the selection of so many younger brothers?
Isn't it going to be included in the harem?
……
"Speaking of which, you're really lucky. Of the more than 180 million branching out of the timeline that have spawned since you traveled through to the present, you are the only one who has survived. As he left, Chromie sighed.
Oryx was stunned for a moment, instinctively feeling that the other party was telling a lie. I'm afraid I've heard something like that in every timeline.
"But you're not the fastest one. In one timeline, you persuaded the Five-Colored Dragons to join the Scourge as early as when you were investigating the Scourge with Dalaran. The three guardian dragons, with the exception of Nozdorm, descended directly on Icecrown Glacier, strangling Naozu and its Scourge in the cradle...... But you were miserable in that timeline, because you changed the course of history prematurely, caused an even more terrifying backlash in the worldline, and were finally captured by Loken and returned to Ulduar, and corrupted by the Elder Gods into his own slave......"
Oryx was shocked, so it's a good thing that he has missed so many good opportunities so far?
If you rewrite the timeline too much before you have the power to control your own destiny, you will definitely attract the attention of powerful enemies, such as being assassinated by the Burning Legion or attracting the attention of the Elder Gods......
"There's another timeline, well, and it looks pretty good. You delayed the onset of the Scourge crisis, and King Terenus Minethir of Lordaeron did not die in assassination.
Not only did you become the Earl of Lordaeron, but you also developed a brotherly friendship with Arthas, eventually marrying the eldest princess Galia, and growing your power, becoming the most powerful prince in the history of the Seven Kingdoms of Mankind in a matter of years!
But it didn't end well. It took you too long to develop, but you didn't find a way to defend yourself against the plague of natural disasters, and you died in the war. ”
Oryx asked, "So what am I supposed to do?" ”
"Don't ask me, I don't know, if I secretly guide the newcomers, Master Angmar and Boss Nozdorm will have to blame me again. How to solve the corruption of Saratas, how to defeat the Scourge Legion, how to make it to the end of this tightrope...... I don't know. ”
Oryx thought to himself, but aren't you here to guide me?
"I'm here to reveal to you the meaning of the existence of the Time Watcher. As for what the meaning is, think for yourself, I'm going to go to the next timeline...... There's another time-traveler coming, and I'm going to have to hurry up and send out the Book of Time. ”
Oryx didn't know what to say anymore.
This Chromie seems to have said everything, but it seems like he hasn't said anything. Until now, he had not figured out what the job of this "liaison" was.
Chromie jumped off his desk and was about to climb up the window as he spoke.
"Wait, how do I contact you? What is the mission I have been given, as you say? ”
"Contact?" Chromie looked back, "When the time comes, I'll get in touch with you." As for your mission...... I don't know. And I advise you not to go to my counterparts in this timeline, if you dare to tell anyone about the Time Watcher, the Book of Time will punish you for ......"
Alright, I'm leaving. Make good use of multiplayer tasks, the rewards are quite generous, and interacting with other Time Watchers may bring you a different understanding. Truth be told, most of them ...... Well, smarter than you. ”
With that, the blonde dwarf jumped off the ledge and drifted away in a puff of quicksand. Leaving Oryx alone, standing messy in the wind.
