Chapter 42: The Lag of Time
Thanks to the Colorless Black Grail for the 1888 starting point coin, to be honest, this is the largest tip I've ever received. Today's second update, ask for subscriptions, ask for collections, ask for rewards, and the author bacteria will continue to break out!
The dragon's roar swept through the bottom of the canyon fissure like a gale, and the chaotic echo shook Rollin's eardrums, and Rollin collected his spell energy, standing at the bottom of the canyon chasm, waiting for the dragon Nesario to arrive.
The pride of the Black Dragon Lord led him to think that he was the first creature to set foot in this place, and the sight of the guardian dragon allowed him to see something extra in the canyon. The remnants of the Burning Legion demons and the eerie circles carved into the walls of the ravines made him feel like he had returned to the Ancient War. But that catastrophe is over, and these alien creatures will never be the masters of Azeroth. Only the strong can master this new world, but not the creatures who trust Azeroth's original energy.
The black dragon's wings shook in the air, and the massive body of the guardian dragon plummeted, and in the howling wind, Nesario fell to the bottom of the canyon chasm.
When he reached the ground, Nesario smelled a hint of gunpowder. Here he felt the energy of the arcane. Whether it's the Black Dragon Lord Nesario or the Human Form Lord Presto, he is bored with Tirisph, Dalaran, and the human mages across the Eastern Continent. Nesario didn't expect to feel these energies in the place where the Burning Legion demons had once invaded.
A few low roars rang out from Nesario's scaly-covered neck, and his massive body slowly turned. Nesario felt the breath of a human.
Even if this human is trying to hide himself.
"Black Dragon Lord, meet again." The corners of Luo Lin's mouth rose slightly, and he calmly looked at the guardian dragon in front of him.
A scorching flame ignited in Nesario's dark eyes, and he looked around for the dark aura of the large space. However, Nesario did not perceive the extra aura, he felt nothing, including the body and power of the Elder God.
Destroyed by this guy again, he's just a mortal, why was he able to thwart the dragon's plans.
"You're provoking the Lord of the Dragon!" Nesario roared in an almost frenzied rage.
Rollin shook his head slightly, and he said, "No, I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do, Nesario." ”
"What exactly do you want? power, the land or the whole world. Mortal, you puzzle me. Nesario's wide, pointed claws, burning with the flames of the black dragon, rested vertically on Rollin's head.
"You used to be the guardian dragon of the world of Azeroth, and you are the guardian of the earth, this question should not be asked by you." Lorraine didn't show any fear under the scorching black dragon flames, he stared at Nesario and asked rhetorically.
Slowly retracting the huge claws, the scorching flames burning on Nesario's body slowly extinguished.
"Yes, I was once the Guardian of the Earth, the Master of Order in Azeroth. The Great Guardian Dragon. Nessario maintained the dragon's solemn posture, his wings resting on his body, he raised the dragon's head, his legs half-bent, and looked directly at the human in front of him.
"You have also worked hard for this world, guarded. This shouldn't be the fate of a guardian dragon, Black Dragon Lord. "Rollin wondered why Nesario was at the mercy of the whispers of these ancient gods. As the guardian of the earth, he should not embark on this path of no return.
Previously able to fight himself in battle, Nesario had a minimum of respect for this mortal. This time, the magician didn't make a move, and Nesario wanted to hear what the mortal would say to him.
"Fate? Mortal, you have not lived for more than 10,000 years, and you do not understand such a life and the pain of struggling in time. Nesario said, shaking the dragon's head.
Indeed, what Nesario has experienced, Rollin has no way to judge. Purely from his own point of view, Rollin can only oppose Nesario's approach, but when it comes to understanding, Rollin can't do it.
Since he couldn't do it, Rollin didn't talk about everything he said next with the premise of convincing Nesario. He only hoped that this guardian dragon would not continue to follow its own fate. A black dragon lord who has not completely fallen into the whispers of the ancient gods will have a lot less trouble in this world, and there will be many fewer heroes. A quiet and peaceful era is the responsibility of a qualified guardian.
This is what Rollin wants, and it is also the pursuit of the Guardians of the world of Azeroth.
"Loneliness is indeed the most formidable enemy of every creature, and I sympathize with you, Nesario." Rollin's left hand lifted slightly, and the mutilation that had just accumulated flesh rose to the tip of Nesario's nose.
"A world of disorder, a world of tranquility without titans, can you understand? Mankind. It was the first time that Nesario had spoken to Rollin so calmly, and he spoke to Rollin in a steady, old man's tone.
Although the Nesario in front of him is his own enemy, in a certain sense. But Rollin was still open and honest with Nesario. Rollin discussed everything he knew and knew with the dragon who had sunk into the whispers of the old gods.
"The Titans created this world, and they gave order to the world of Azeroth and the guardians who held it. Whether this is right or wrong is not something we have to worry about, but whether the life that exists in the world of Azeroth needs to be guarded. You are the Guardian of the Earth, and you can stand on a high ground to examine these beings, however, I also believe that when you were Lord of Presto, you also felt something among the human beings that the Guardian Dragons did not have. Rollin said.
Without rebuttal, Nesario acquiesced to Rollin's words.
"That's right, in human society I see cunning, intrigue and hatred. At the same time, I also saw friendship, love and family. Every living thing has their height and respect. I know I need to respect them, but that's why I'm doing what I'm doing. Nesario's eyes were more determined, and he said to Rollin.
"You should not listen to the bewitchment of the Elder Gods, Nesario. They don't really tell you the true fate of this world. Rollin retorted.
A burst of laughter came, and from Nesario's laughter, Rollin heard Nesario's disdain: "These twisted creatures, I will never believe their nonsense. Mortals, you don't really think that I am in the hands of their power. ”
Originally, Rollin thought that everything he had decided was right. But in the midst of Nesario's bold and disdainful laughter, Rollin reversed everything he had just said.
"You're saying that these twisted lumps didn't come to some kind of agreement with you?"
"No, I have an agreement with them, and if I am going to achieve my plan, then I must get their help. Mortal, I know that you know many of the secrets of this world, but there are many other things that you do not know. The enemies that I, Nesario, will face are not just you humans. Nesario said.
From Nesario's words, Rollin sensed that Nesario seemed to foresee something. What he was doing and planning now was purposeful, not like a mad guardian dragon should be.
Luo Lin frowned, and he said in a questioning tone, "Black Dragon Lord, can you tell me what you have encountered. ”
With a slight bow, the Black Dragon Lord's huge head lowered, and his black eyes were close to Luo Lin's chest: "Mortal, your wisdom amazes me. You're the most formidable enemy I've ever encountered, not one of them. ”
Appreciation from the Black Dragon Lord, Luo Lin didn't care. He narrowed his eyes, pondering as he listened to what Nesario was about to say.
"Before the Elder War began, our five-colored dragons, like you humans, were the most common creatures in Azeroth. But at that time, the world of Azeroth where we lived had a giant Elder Dragon Galaclone. In the long river of time, Yuanlong lived in harmony, but after tranquility and peace, it always heralded a storm. As you can see, Galakron is insane, he has been corrupted by the ancient gods! The corrupted Galaclone became the enemy of all our dragons, and he began to eat away at our people. ”
Ironically, the belief that evil prevails over good works. We, the dragons, united with the Titan Guardian Tyr, have destroyed Galakron. After the war, we received the power bestowed by the Guardians of Azeroth, and we became the new Guardians of Azeroth. Among them, Nozram accepted the power of Almansur and gained the power to control time. Nozrem was once my comrade-in-arms, and I know the pain of his power when he gets it. He can meet many things, and he can predict them in the unknown timeline and the normal timeline. Sadly, he met the fate of both of us. Eternal Dragons and Deathwing! ”
Nesario was so light-hearted about his fate that Nesario knew what would happen next. Suddenly, Rollin felt a little pitiful for this dragon with its huge size and strength, and to put it more seriously, he was a little pathetic.
Probably looking at the loss and pity in Luo Lin's eyes, Nesario, the arrogant black dragon lord smiled bitterly: "Mortal, this is fate!" ”
"Can you tell me what the end of your life will be?" Rollin asked.
Nesario said briefly, "The Maelstrom (Dragon's Soul) or the Temple of Dragon's Sleep (the end of time)." ”
Know your fate in advance, and there are only two choices. Rollin could only nod, but Rollin did not agree with Nesario's approach, and he reserved his opinion and said, "I once discovered the divine consciousness of Amansur under the palace of the city of Sulamar. ”
Divine consciousness? Nesario asked solemnly, "Father of the Titans?" Why, has he fallen? ”
"Yes, the Pantheon was destroyed by Sargeras."
When Nesario received this answer, he was even more convinced of the future he believed to be. "As you know, the Titans can't even defend themselves. How do they protect us, the Titans who were born out of the Order? They can't protect Azeroth, and this world will be destroyed! I would rather him be destroyed in a small catastrophe than at the hands of that monster. ”
"You've seen the star core lose control and be corrupted by the creation of the Void Lord in the universe, right? Azeroth will transform into the most powerful of the Evil Titans. Rollin told Nesario what he feared most.
The dragon roared, and the black dragon lord's eyes were filled with fear and fear. He had seen this disaster with his own eyes, and he did not dare to imagine the future.
And Rollin also knew such an outcome, but he did not give up hope.
"The end times will come eventually, and you know all this, why do you still do these senseless rebellions to stop my plans." Nesario was puzzled. This mortal magister knows better than he knows the fate and end of this world.
Rollin said flatly, "You only see your own future, Nesario." Although the creatures in the world of Azeroth are creatures shaped by the Titan Order, they have their own consciousness, and we have the same life as the Titans. As long as there is no high or low in life, we are all equal. No living thing can determine our fate, as long as you learn to resist, not resign yourself to the fate you encounter, to fear and obey. ”
"No, I think everything I did was right. Mortal, you and I have different opinions, and you can't convince me. Nesario reopened his massive dragon wings, and the breath of the dragon from his mouth spewed out again towards Rollin.
The arcane barrier that appeared out of thin air blocked the flames of these black dragons. Rollin put his hands in one hand, and the place on his chest and heart began to exert the power that Almansour had given him.
"Since you are subject to your own destiny, then I will freeze your time so that you cannot reach where your destiny is."
Quicksand-like power leaked from around Rollin's body, and Rollin invoked the power left within him by the Eye of Almansur. Master the power of time!
The golden sand flowed over the body of the Black Dragon Lord, and Nesario knew the powers of these Titan Fathers, and he hated them, which he was, and still is.
"Mortal, you will commit a mortal sin!" The Black Dragon Lord knew what Rollin was going to do, and he was going to stop himself from carrying out all the plans he was going to make.
"I think that's right, Nesario. No one can destroy this world, not the Elder Gods, not the Burning Legion, and not you! "Rollin condenses the sands of time and traps the Black Dragon Lord in a giant golden hourglass.
Nesario roared and roared, "Unforgivable, arrogant mortal. You will send this world to the brink of the end with your own hands! ”
What is the end times? Rollin stared at the black dragon whose body burned with flames, and he quickened the flow of the sands of time in his hands.
The power of time combined with arcane energy locks in Nesario's time, a spell of imprisonment more powerful than any spell. Nesario at this moment, frozen forever! (To be continued.) )
