Chapter XXIII: The Theory of Terror
In the end, we finally reached an agreement to terminate the hunt for us at the beginning of the trial for 150,000 gold coins. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
I took out a large amount of gold coins from the space bag, and they counted them until almost dawn. In the end, they simply didn't count them, but sat down on the pile of money and chatted with me.
"How did you get here? Was it struck by lightning? The Blood Scepter asked curiously.
Listening to his words, I couldn't help but laugh: "Look at what you said, it's as if we were damned." Actually, we wanted to travel back in time to Draenor 5 years ago, but we didn't know what technical glitch had happened, so we got here. So I gave a brief account of what we had done.
"Good fellows, you've had a lot of experience. You said that you killed a member of our guild's warband, and you have a lot of ability! The Blood Scepter said in surprise.
Although I felt very guilty about this, for the sake of my safety and that of my comrades, I still asked, "I have already told me everything about what happened to me, how about it, is our deal still valid?" ”
The Blood Court Staff raised his thumb and said, "That's it, you are a man, dare to act!" I don't blame you for this, how can there be a reason not to fight back after being beaten. If you want to blame them, blame them for not being able to do it. 40 people didn't manage to take you down, yes! Should! ”
“……”
"The paladin you said with Obolaine should be the one who is an astrological messenger, what kind of garbage with what kind of garbage!" The old man actually scolded.
The Blood Staff is an old man with a somewhat reckless personality, which is directly related to his experience. He, like me, is a refugee from Lordaeron. The difference is that he is highly skilled in martial arts, and he joined the Seventh Legion of the Alliance, and his followers participated in a series of battles.
But the Blood Scepter was old, and the leader of the Seventh Legion couldn't bear to let an old man charge after him. So the Legion gave him a considerable retirement fee and found him a house in the port of Stormwind to live out his old age.
But the Blood Scepter was an idle man, and finally one day he made up his mind. He picked up the hammer again and began to fight as an adventurer in all corners of Azeroth.
Due to the fierce combat and the fact that he was a veteran of the Seventh Legion, he quickly had a group of loyal followers. As his team grew, he finally formed his own guild. Become the boss of a mercenary organization with eight teams.
Later, he accepted the invitation of the Pentagram and led the members of the Plenum to join the First Guild of the Alliance at the beginning of the trial, and became one of the elders of the Council of Five.
"So you're only an elder in the Council of Five, not the boss at the beginning of the trial." I felt bad in my heart that this old man had taken my money, only to tell me that he was not the boss at the beginning of the trial. So if their boss insists on chasing and killing us, won't I lose my wife and lose my army?
"There is no real boss in our guild, and each elder leads his own team. In order for the guild to do something collectively, it must hold a council of elders and finally decide whether to implement it in the form of a vote. The big warrior took off his helmet, revealing a large, shiny head. He's the strong man I saw in the tavern, and it looks like they've been eyeing us for a long time.
"Hey, in fact, this is just a waste of time, and we have to grind and chirp to have a broken meeting to carry out an operation, no wonder our progress and achievements have always been pressed by the horrible descendants of the tribe." The thief was handsome, like a student of a book, but he did not speak in a tone that resembled that of a scholar.
"Rules are rules, and you have to follow them even if you don't want to." The Night Elf priest didn't look up as he spoke, but still counted the number of gold coins carefully.
The Blood Staff didn't care that his men were arguing there, but patted me on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, young man, the old man counts." In the future, at the beginning of the trial, I will never trouble you again, and if anyone in the meeting dares to touch you, the old man will smash his head! ”
"Elder, ......" the Night Elf sighed and began to count the piles of gold coins at her feet.
"What if the astrological messengers trouble us?" The big warrior reminded.
"Hmph, the old man has long looked at the fortune teller unpleasantly. If he looks for me, hehe, I'll see if it's his 'chicken leg stick' or the old man's 'Flame Hammer'! ”
The astrological envoy they were talking about was also one of the members of the Council of Five, and this divine dragon had nearly half of the strength in the guild in his hands, and he could be described as the absolute main force in the guild, but he didn't expect that there was such a big gap between him and the Blood Court Staff, who was also one of the five elders.
"Young man, you are not only generous, but you are also a fair man! If you are in trouble in the future, just come to the old man, and the old man will definitely help! ”
"Don't dare, don't dare." I said it in my mouth, but I felt funny in my heart. Aboveboard? Are you praising me or are you burying me?
I do everything for me and my friends, and although I have a clear conscience, I am not so noble to say that I am above board.
The sun had stretched out of the horizon, and they had packed the gold coins all over the ground into their space bags.
"Then the old man will leave, you don't have to send us, we will have a date later." The Blood Staff nodded to me and departed with his men.
Standing in the midst of a desolate cemetery, I watched a few people slowly move away.
"Don't hide, come out."
"Hehe, when did you find me?" The werewolf unplugged and asked, leaning against a tombstone with his arms folded.
Instead of answering his question, I asked, "What do you think about this?" ”
"I feel good, I bought a verbal promise from an old money fan with 150,000 gold, and it feels very cost-effective." The old man said with a grin, a big mouth full of fangs.
"You don't have to be sarcastic, I spent a lot of money, but I also got a lot of useful information. At least we now know that it's the Bronze Dragon who is playing tricks, and we also know that the so-called No. 1 Guild of the Alliance is not monolithic. “
"That's true, but what's the point? Are we really going to go against the bronze dragon and the beginning of judgment? The werewolf said defiantly.
"I don't want to be an enemy of the Bronze Dragon, but that's not my decision at all. If the bronze dragon were to put us to death, would we just sit there and wait for death? “
"So what do you want to do? Kill those ancient reptiles? Or find a way back in time to our own time? “
"Since we are already caught in the vortex of time, it is impossible to escape easily." I bit my lip and said, "It's definitely not an accident that we came into this world, it's our destiny as it should be." Even if we return to the future, we will still come to this world when the door of darkness is reopened......"
"And werewolves, have you noticed that we have now changed the course of history. During the assault and defense of Dreadnought Fortress, I killed Anubrekan, who was supposed to be in the Spider Zone. And the Blood Scepter at the beginning of the trial also collected 150,000 gold coins that did not belong to this era. You know what that means? “
The werewolf looked at me with excitement in his eyes: "This means that we are no longer in the original timeline!" ”
"Yes, we've now opened up a whole new parallel world, which means we're like brains. It's just that he went to a parallel world 15 years ago, and we created another parallel world 5 years ago. ”
The werewolf was very excited, and he said almost fanatically, "That's why I said that we are gods who can use time and will not die!" ”
"Won't die? Why don't we die? I asked, puzzled.
When the werewolf heard my words, he couldn't help laughing, and he said proudly, "Haven't you heard of the grandmother paradox? ”
The werewolf explained to me that if a person traveled to the past and killed his unmarried grandmother, then his grandmother would not have given birth to his mother. Without his mother, he would not have been born into this world. Since he was born, how did he travel through time and kill his grandmother, who was not yet married?
So the only explanation for this is that he would not be able to kill his grandmother for various reasons. In other words, his maternal grandmother will not die until she gives birth to his mother, she is invincible!
So, according to this explanation, we time-travelers are invincible until the dark door is reopened, and no matter how much we toss and die, we will not die, and the fact that I jumped into Anubrekan's stomach and did not die is the strongest proof of this view. Because if I were dead, I wouldn't have been able to travel through time and space to come into this world.
I smiled and said to the werewolf, "What you say makes sense, but it doesn't make sense. ”
The werewolf was puzzled, so I voiced my opinion.
We have traveled through time and space to a bygone era. Even if we just trampled a tiny ant to death, the world would be different from our time.
This world will change from our future depending on our coming, and it will form a new world, which we call a parallel world.
Azeroth's timeline is not a single straight line, but a reticulated plane. The Bronze Dragon only guards the so-called "primordial timeline" and has little control over the rest of the timelines.
When we came to this "Northrend of 5 years ago", we were actually out of the "original timeline". Now, we are in a "new world" that has only been formed with our arrival.
Therefore, our life and death do not affect the true future of Azeroth, because in the "original timeline" we have traveled out, we have disappeared into thin air.
"This ...... It's terrifying......" The werewolf's enthusiasm vanished without a trace, because he knew that we were not invincible anymore, and that our future was uncertain again.
"Actually, there's something even more terrifying." I sighed and said, "Although we are now in a new parallel world, the past of this world has not changed. ”
"That is, the past is still the past, and the future is no longer our future."
I looked at the werewolf and said something that made me feel creepy: "yes, so I'm curious to know what I'm doing now!" ”
