45. Alternate Times (Medium)

"Are you really leaving?"

In the fortress of Gromash in Orgrimmar, Garrosh looked at Thrall, who was carrying a package, shamanic robes, and carrying the hammer of destruction, and the orc overseer couldn't help but say:

"Can't you stay a little longer? Jorin: They're coming back, so we'll have a few more drinks with us. ”

"Stop making a fuss, Garrosh."

Sal was open-minded, and he winked at Garrosh:

"Don't make it like life and death, it's not like I can't come back. It's just a temporary departure from Orgrimmar, the intersection of the elemental realm and the present world is not stable, and in the next few years, I will focus on that side, and I will come back when Dranosh becomes the Grand Chief. ”

"I know."

Garrosh scolded angrily:

"I just feel very aggrieved, you are obviously a qualified big chief, everyone is very convinced of you, just because of the persecution of a group of old men, you are going to leave your homeland, I have never felt that those old men are so hateful."

"But they're right, Garrosh."

Sal sighed, and he said:

"I have great power in the earth, and it's a force that disrupts the balance, though I know I won't use it to do anything wrong. But as long as I'm in Orgrimmar for a day, the forces around me, big and small, won't be at ease, even the minotaurs and trolls will alienate us... On the day I take on this power, I will no longer be a simple orc. ”

"The Forgotten Kings will not allow me to wield this power as an orc. I had to be a neutral, an absolute neutral. ”

Thrall shrugged his shoulders, the wise orc knew everything, and it kept him optimistic. Carrying the package on his back, he reached out and patted Garrosh on the shoulder, and said:

"I'll leave now, and I'll be in touch with you later. By the way, pursue Agna, she's a good girl, and when you get married, I'll go to Nagrand for the wedding!" Hahaha, maybe your children will choose the shamanic path in the future, and I'm happy to be his mentor. ”

"My child won't become a shaman!"

Garrosh laughed too, and he helped Sal carry a box. As the two walked out, Garrosh said:

"The members of the Hellroar family will be the best warriors. Besides, my old man is still staring at me... I've recently sent some of my clan back to Draeno to rebuild the Warsong Clan in the Nagrand Meadows, and I've been busy... Alas, everyone is busy, and the mess left over from the Battle of Doom means that we don't even have time to drink now. ”

"Stop complaining."

Sal laughed:

"Orcs have never been afraid of war, but neither do we crave war. The era to come is destined to be an era of peace, by the way, I heard that the goblins of the Hot Sand Consortium and the Rusty Water Consortium have restarted their 'Star Project', and we orcs are worse in this regard, so I told Dranosh not to miss the opportunity to join forces with those goblins and push our orc civilization into the stars. ”

"Well, I'll remind him."

Garrosh walked around the gates of the fortress of Grommash, and as he stepped out of the hall, he suddenly saw a figure waiting in front of him. Garrosh turned his head and squeezed his eyes at Sal with a strange expression, and then Shi Shiran dragged the box away quickly, and Sal, who didn't know why, took a step forward and saw the figure in front of him.

The figure that Sal subconsciously avoided.

Sola.

Sola. Sarufar, daughter of the Overseer of Blox, cousin of Dranosh, an excellent female orc warrior, and admirer of Thrall.

"Sal!"

Sora crossed her arms and carried a heavy battle axe on her back, and although she did not wear armor, she had the bearing of a warrior. She didn't look like a fan girl who was saying goodbye to her lover, she looked at Sal in front of her, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes, and she took a step forward, like a warrior stepping into battle. She looked at Sal, but Sal's eyes were a little wandering, as if he didn't dare to look at Sora's blue eyes.

"I know you grew up in the human world. I know, you don't really understand the feelings of orcs. ”

Sora bravely and calmly said:

"I can even guess that you're always a little uncomfortable talking to an orc like me. Tarangi told me that your aesthetic may not be the same as ours, and that I may be ugly in your eyes. ”

"Sora, I..."

"Let me finish!"

Thrall's retort was interrupted by a stretch of his hand, and the brave orc girl looked into Thrall's eyes and said:

"But the people of the Sarufar family, whether men or women, have no tradition of hiding their feelings. You're leaving the city, I know, it's an order from the old men, and I'm not going to force you to stay here! But Saar... As long as you nod your head, I'll go with you! If... If the desired partner in your life is a human being, then I will never haunt you again. ”

"I also have my pride... Now, tell me your answer, Sal. ”

Although the words were decisive, there was still a hint of nervousness and a hint of anticipation in Sora's eyes, after all, she was also a young girl and had not experienced real feelings. In the distance, Garrosh sat on Thrall's chest, holding a piece of dried meat from nowhere, and a bottle of Dwarven Thunder Ale.

The unscrupulous overseer, who was watching the relationship between the former Great Chief, even called his rumored girlfriend Agna.

Sal must make a decision immediately, otherwise if it drags on, I'm afraid that even Woking and Bane will be called over by Garrosh to watch the play.

"I..."

Thrall was in turmoil.

He didn't know how to answer Sora, he didn't hate the straightforward girl in front of him. But he also admits that in his past life, Sal's choice of partner was based on his sister Taressa.

After all, Taresa was always there for Thrall when he was growing up.

"Tell me the answer! Thrall. ”

Sora clenched her fists:

"Don't act like a coward!"

Under the pressure of Sora's momentum, Sal couldn't help but take a step back. He lowered his head, not daring to look into Sora's eyes, a gesture that disappointed the orc girl, who bit her lip, but after a few minutes of silence, she sighed and turned away a little lonely.

Under the street lamp, Sora's shadow was stretched out.

But just a few steps after Sora took a few steps, her wrist was grabbed by Sal.

Sora turned around, and behind her, Sal finally stopped running away, he looked at Sora seriously, and he said:

"Sora, I can't give you an answer right now."

"As you said, there is a part of my soul that has been shaped by humans. I've always been at a loss for who I am, whether I'm an orc or half human, and it's hard for me to break off my feelings. But... If you can give me some time, maybe, I can try to accept that emotion that is foreign to me..."

"Would you like to leave with me?"

Sal said seriously:

"Would you like to try it with me? I can't give you a definite answer. But, I promise, I'm going to take this relationship seriously. ”

In the face of Sal's request, a twinkle flashed in Sora's blue eyes. Eventually, she broke free of Sal's grip and walked forward without looking back, and behind her, Sal's face darkened.

But Sora didn't leave.

She walked up to Garrosh and kicked Garrosh in the ass:

"Get out of here!"

Garrosh didn't dare to argue with the mad woman, so he could only watch as Sora carried Thrall's box, and the orc girl with a tomahawk and a long skirt looked back at Thrall, and she beckoned:

"What are you waiting for? Come on! ”

"If it's too late, we won't be able to catch the last steam train of the goblins."

Hearing this call, Thrall was stunned for a moment, he shrugged his shoulders, carried the package on his back, and in the kind and funny cheers of Garrosh, he walked a few quick steps to Sora's side, and the two of them, under the light of the street lamp, walked together to the gates of Orgrimmar City.

In the new era, it is also time to start a new life.

———————————————————

In the city of Ulduar, the guardian of the machines, Mimiron, holds a disc in his hand, which is the carrier of the valuable knowledge of the Titans.

The War of Doom has ended, the Guardians have repelled the wind elemental that has invaded the world, and the Wind Rider Orakir has been cut through the elemental body, and its Heart of Calm Wind has been sent to the High Lord Tyrion, which is said to be the energy source for the Darkblade Legion to step into the Sea of Death.

And Ragnaros, the king of the fire demons, and the elemental heart of the stone mother Sera Zaun, have all been taken out.

In the current Four Elemental Realm, except for the Abyssal Throat of the Tide Hunter Nepturon, which is still calm, the other three elemental planes have already turned the sky upside down. Ambitious elemental lords are trying to compete for the throne of the Elemental Lord, but as in the present world, there is a new order that has been reset in the Elemental Realm.

The Shamans and Titan Guardians of the Ring of the Earth are responsible for maintaining a stable blend of the Elemental Realm and the present world, and they will no longer allow unruly elemental creatures to once again attempt to disrupt the hard-won peace of the present world.

However, for the Titan Guardians, the end of the Doomsday War was only due to a new, unprecedented challenge falling on their shoulders.

"Huh"

Mimiron placed the disc in his hand into the Titan instrument, and a mechanical drawing of blue projections appeared before his eyes.

It was a huge energy storage and release device, like an elongated water bottle, with several outward spreading pipes extending at the top, and the whole was like a sphere similar to the framework of the world.

"The Forge of Origins... It's a complex project. ”

Mimiron scratched at his round metal head, and whispered:

"It can't be copied as it is, the world of Argus is too dilapidated to carry the facilities of a complete Origin Furnace, so it needs to be simplified... Well, the maximum simplification. ”

The Mechanical Guardian reached out and removed many of the unwanted devices from the complex spherical instrument in front of him, and he was to redesign a simple Origin Forge mechanism.

High Lord Tyrion had promised the Titan Souls that he would try to reshape the ecology of the world of Argus. It's not just talk, it's complicated, and after the end of the Doomsday War, the task falls to the Guardians who are most familiar with the Titan Facility, and they must complete the design in the shortest possible time.

However, it is not enough to have complete blueprints and mechanical creations.

This thing was to be placed in the core of the world of Argus, which was already in tatters and had experienced the most brutal war devastation of the War of Doom, so to speak, the world of Argus had come to the end of collapse. If you're not careful, the world will fall apart in no time.

"Muradin!"

Mimiron activated the communicator, and in front of him, a blue projection turned on, and the figure of the diamond dwarf Muradin, soon appeared on the communicator.

"What is the current situation of Agus? Has the bug subsided? ”

"Nope! They are still breeding. ”

The dwarf's gruff voice came, with undisguised concern in it:

"After fighting with the demons, the number of bugs not only did not decrease, but after the demons retreated, they began to grow explosively. Now all of Argus had everything they could eat as a target, but the druids and the Yakini were still in good shape, and they didn't attack the sentinels stationed here. ”

"But if they are allowed to continue to breed, it will not be easy to say."

Muradin said to Mimiron in a cautious tone:

"I've heard from the sentinels of the vanguard that a humanoid bug has appeared the other day, and it's quite intelligent. They are dodging and in direct contact with sentinels and observers... I think the bugs probably know what we're going to do, and they're still trying to find a way to survive. ”

"That's an exaggeration."

The mechanical guardian's thick eyebrows furrowed, and he said in a screaming voice:

"The bugs shouldn't evolve that fast, but it's not a big deal."

"Muradin, you have placed the World Beacon in the World Core beneath the Antolan Wasteland, and we will send it over as soon as we have crafted the Origin Forge for Argus. It should be in the next few months that the reshaping of that world will be complete... The bugs will be broken down by the Titan energy into the elements needed in the new world, and trust me, they won't be a problem. ”

"Okay, I got it."

The Diamond Dwarf answered, and hung up.

For the world of Argus, which has been completely occupied by insects, there is no one more suitable for this kind of positioning and exploration task than Muradin, and his diamond body, even if he lets go for the bugs to bite, those bugs will not want to hurt Muradin even the slightest.

"Lord Elune is still waiting."

Mimiron looked at the simplified drawings in front of him, and the mechanical guardian said to himself:

"Argus is a testing ground, and once Argus' recovery is complete... Next, I'm afraid it's time to find and resurrect the souls of the other Titans. ”

"O the glory of the pantheon..."

"Sooner or later, it will shine again on the stars! Order, that is the light of order. ”
