After the Nightmare War, Jiang Weihan followed Chromie to the Cave of Time, and it was good news that the Werewolf Crisis had been resolved in such a successful way, but before that, he had already arrived at the Cave of Time, the lair of the Bronze Dragons, and was ready to go on another journey through time.

The Cave of Time is located in Tanaris, south of Kalimdor. It's a desert area where the neutral goblin city of Gakison provides a safe trading platform for factions and races. Perhaps it is precisely because of the similarity between ordinary sand and time sand that the bronze dragon chose to make his home here.

Hidden in the mountains, this Cave of Time is one of the most incredible wonders in the world. It controls the secrets of time, holds the past and future changes of Azeroth, and regulates the cause and effect of a thing. The real Cave of Time isn't actually in the mountains of Tanaris, it's just an entrance. It is located in another dimension, one that is detached from the material world and the spiritual world.

There is an unimaginably strange landscape here, with golden grains of sand swirling and flying on the translucent walls of time and space, and countless bronze dragons soaring and dancing in this dimension. Some of them are in their original form, some of them have taken the form of various creatures, various intelligent races, and even other animals or plants, trees and stones - all the bronze dragons that can be seen outside the walls of time and space are actually on missions at different points in time, and what remains here is actually a special projection of time. Only those who walk within the walls are truly awakened bronze dragons who can touch and communicate.

"Well, don't you think this place is more mysterious than you think?" Chromie takes Jiang Weihan into the Cave of Time, leading him all the way to the deepest depths. As you walk, explain to him the practical meaning of the various scenes.

"There are some."

This real scene is much more spectacular than in the game, and Jiang Weihan was indeed shocked.

Originally, he was worried that he would not be hunted down by Nozdom when he came here. But Chromie swore that nothing like this would ever happen. In fact, even if the Bronze Dragon King really wanted to kill Jiang Weihan, now Jiang Weihan didn't have to worry about his own safety - because Nozdom was missing.

All the bronze dragons could not find their dragon king. No trace of him can be found in the long river of time. All the facts suggest that Nozdom is no longer on this timeline.

This is exactly why Chromie found Jiang Weihan.

In fact, the help of the Blackmore Eternal Dragon Legion in another timeline invaded them, and the matter of the current timeline should have been solved by the Bronze Dragons, which was also their natural duty. However, Nozdom disappeared at this time, and the remaining bronze dragons were unable to deal with the Eternal Dragon Legion with the support of the Eternal Dragon King, let alone capture the intruder Blackmore.

Chromie took Jiang Weihan to the bottom of the Cave of Time. There are three huge, eye-catching time hourglasses, and the golden time sand in the transparent glass hourglass is not all flowing from top to bottom normally, but reversing and even flowing irregularly.

Next to the hourglass of time, there are already two people waiting for them.

"Chromie, are you sure he can help us? Instead of ......" it was a woman who looked like a High Elf who spoke. She glanced at Jiang Weihan suspiciously, her expression a little strange.

She wears a gorgeous and sexy yellow dress - a color-changing version of the famous "Quicksand Jacket", the same style of the "Battle Guardian Robes" that female players once loved to collect in the game.

Of course, except for Jiang Weihan, all of the people staying here are bronze dragons or dragon people, and the high elves in front of them are only the appearance of the bronze dragon after its transformation.

And this elegant and noble woman is none other than Sori Domi, the consort of Nozdom, the bronze dragon queen.

"yes, I think he's the only one who can help us." Chromie replied as a matter of course. "Or do you have a better candidate?"

A human man in khaki full-body armor beside Soridomi said with suspicion, "But even our bronze dragon can't find our father, he?" ”

This one is the Bronze Dragon Prince, Anaklos, the son of Soridomi and Nozdom. His mother loved to turn into a High Elf. He likes to be human, and Chromie likes to be a dwarf.

Jiang Weihan didn't want to rush to this troubled waters, and it wouldn't necessarily do him any good to get back to Nozdom - other than being able to deal with the Eternal Dragon and Blackmore who had invaded the timeline.

If the relationship between him and Nozdom is expressed in terms of the prestige system, there is absolutely no doubt about "hatred".

"Because we can't find it." That's why I need to turn to the outside world, my dear Anaclos. Trust me, this human being is different. He has a peculiar way of thinking, which is the most important quality to see through the fog of time - and he is not ignorant of time. You know why. ”

Now who in the Bronze Dragon Clan would not know Jiang Weihan? Because of his dazed behavior during the Battle of the Frozen Throne a year ago, he shattered the hourglass of time and was seriously injured. Nearly dead, Jiang Weihan's reputation among the Bronze Dragons became thunderous—but not necessarily a good one.

Anaklos was originally a bronze dragon who was very friendly to humans, but he didn't have a good impression of Jiang Weihan, a human who injured and even almost killed his father.

Although he also had to admit that his father made a bad move at that time.

Chromie's question, Sori Domi's mother and son could not refute. They really couldn't find any other way, so Chromie offered to ask Jiang Weihan for help, and they could only accept it with the attitude of giving it a try.

However, the reason why they are willing to accept it is not because Jiang Weihan's way of thinking is special, but because of other things.

Anaclos took Jiang Weihan to the cave of Nozdom and said to Jiang Weihan, "Chromie believes in you, and we are willing to try it too." But traveling in the timeline is a very dangerous thing, and if you die in another timeline, you will really die. Are you sure you can take the risk? ”

Jiang Weihan said: "I thought I was here to help - if you don't need it, I can go back immediately." ”

"Don't, don't, dear ginger. Don't! Chromie said hurriedly, her big eyes pleading. Danger is danger, but for you. These dangers are insignificant. Trust me, I won't cheat you, my friend! And understanding the secrets of time is also very beneficial to yourself. Really, I kid you not! ”

"Then tell me what I'm going to do." Jiang Weihan is really a little overwhelmed, although Chromie's pity is faked, and her own age is in 10,000 units, but he is really not good at refusing to help his friends - and his resistance to selling cute loli is very low.

"Let's take you through the events before Nozdom's disappearance." Chromie's face changed instantly, and she happily dragged him into Nozdom's dwelling, as if he were afraid that he would regret it.

They cast a spell that rewinds time. The scene before Nozdom's disappearance was recreated in front of Jiang Weihan in the form of a virtual projection.

In the apparitions, Nozdom is using spells to observe his future.

"Sure enough, it's you, it's just you. Let me see. What other 'great achievements' do you have? ”

At this time, Nozdom saw Jiang Weihan go to the Cave of Time and used the Staff of Time in his hand to extract all the energy of the Cave of Time. The platform that allowed the Bronze Dragon to manage time and travel through the timeline collapsed, and the Bronze Dragon lost the divine powers bestowed by the Titans and could never fulfill his duties.

However, this is the vision that Nozdom sees in his mind, and it does not appear in a scene that goes back in time. All they heard was Nozdom's nervous chuckle saying, "Sure enough, it's you, it's just you."

Then Nozdom's expression changed, and he said to himself:

"Destroy the World Tree with the artifact that stole the power of the five-colored dragon? How bold you are! ”

"Invasion of Emerald Dreams with nightmare-shaped monsters? It turns out that you are the one who caused this nightmare that has engulfed all mortals! ”

"Use the power of Deathwing to summon a continent? Hahaha. Someone from another world? So that's what you're for? ”

"So that's what you're for! Destroyer! Destroyer mière! You won't succeed, absolutely not! I'm going to stop you! ”

After this, Nozdom's massive body began to gradually become illusory, and finally disappeared completely. When Soridomi discovers that he is missing, she begins to launch the Bronze Dragon Legion to search for him. But until now, two months have passed, and there is still no result.

In the past, it was extremely easy for the Bronze Dragon to find anyone at any point in time. But now it's so hard for them to find Nozdom.

Of course, Jiang Weihan also heard what Nozdom said in the retrospective during this time, how could he not understand that Nozdom had misunderstood him again?

He did destroy the World Tree with the Dragonlord's Blade. But that was to stop the Nightmare King from continuing to drain Nodashir's energy.

He did enter the Emerald Dream with the magic man, but it was to save others. The nightmare that swept the world was clearly caused by Harvis.

As for Nozdom's statement of "summoning a continent with the power of death", it has not yet happened. It sounds like he's going to do it in the future. Jiang Weihan's mind immediately became alive - he thought about it and thought about it, and felt that he could only summon the Valoran Continent.

Does this mean that Deathwing can help him achieve his ultimate goal of summoning the continent of Valoran to Azeroth before it is completely destroyed by the power of time?

Thinking of such a scene, Jiang Weihan couldn't help but be a little excited. He felt that after Deathwing appeared, he would have to think about how to do such a thing.

"Chromie," Jiang Weihan conveyed his thoughts to the dwarf Lori with his mind: "You're right, comprehending the secret of time is indeed good for me!" ”

Chromie looked up at Jiang Weihan and saw that he was winking at her. She smiled slyly and responded, "I said I wouldn't lie to you!" ”

"Ahem!" Anaklos coughed dryly.

They had seen it several times. None of the things he said had happened before Nozdom disappeared, and now, except for the first and last things, everything else has happened. The first Nozdom didn't mention anything specific, and they couldn't guess what it was. However, from what has happened, they can figure out that the "you", "saboteur", and "ruiner" in Nozdom's mouth all refer to Jiang Weihan, and even his disappearance is to stop Jiang Weihan.

But from the current point of view, Nozdom did misunderstand Jiang Weihan.

Saw that Chromie had brought the "party" here. It also made him see the extremely irrational side of Nozdorm, and both their mother and son were a little embarrassed.

"You see the thing, too. Jiang Weihan. We have to admit that there was a little misunderstanding between you and my father. He was lost in time. We don't have the divine power of the dragon king, and we can't find out where he went. Anaclus's face was a little feverish, although he was also a dragon who had lived for tens of thousands of years, and because of the particularity of his duties, he had seen countless human states, but he was still a little embarrassed.

"Shall I say...... Expression of understanding? Jiang Weihan teased.

There is indeed a deep grudge between him and Nozdom. The outcome of the Battle of the Frozen Throne led to a series of subsequent events, and if Nozdom hadn't been so crazy, I'm afraid everything would have been fine by now.

Jiang Weihan will not forgive the other party lightly, just like Nozdom has always regarded him as an enemy.

After uncovering this embarrassing topic. The bronze dragons began to talk to Jiang Weihan about the real mission.

"Actually, the only thing we have to do is find Nozdom," Chromie said, "He used to incorporate the scales of his divine powers into various timelines, and each scale would become his incarnation." And each timeline has a different direction in history for some special reasons. As a result, each incarnation of Nozdom has a different, independent memory. ”

Chromie glanced at Jiang Weihan and found that he was not confused, he should have understood, so he continued: "He must have lost himself - because of that blurring action, you saw the scene where he finally disappeared, that is, he tried to find his true power. As for the purpose. You know - but don't worry, if you get him back, all of us will be on your side. I believe that when he sees what happens, he will also realize his mistake. ”

Naturally, Nozdom's search for true power was to deal with Jiang Weihan, as the Titan artifact "Time Hourglass" in his possession was shattered in the Battle of the Frozen Throne. As a result, he had many means that he could not use. In this case, of course, he wants to find his true body, and only in this way can he have the capital to defeat Jiang Weihan.

Jiang Weihan couldn't laugh or cry. He regarded Nosdorm as the villain boss, but he didn't know that the other party also treated him like this.

"So what should I do?"

"You need a time trip. We'll take you through the timelines. I'm sure he will show up when Nozdom notices you on this timeline. ”

That said. Our mission is to retrieve Nozdom from our timeline? ”

"Quite right, my friend!"

It sounds very simple, you only need to go to another timeline to swing around to complete the task, but there is a big problem: "There are almost countless timelines, do we need to check them one by one?" Isn't it possible that he can't be found in the wilderness? ”

The three bronze dragons of different forms looked at each other, and finally Anaklos said, "Not really—there are countless timelines, that's right. But for us, there is only one real timeline, and everything else is phantom. As long as we can see through the illusion, we can immediately find the real Nozdorm from the long river of time. ”

Jiang Weihan tried to understand this concept, but it was still a little difficult, and he tried to ask: "Then it means that other timelines are actually fake, as long as we confirm that it is fake, we should immediately break away, right?" ”

"That's pretty much it."

"It doesn't sound like much of a danger." Jiang Weihan nodded, "Then I have no problem." ”

"Of course there is no danger, and besides, we will protect you." Chromie was genuinely relieved to hear him agree.

Jiang Weihan didn't expect that the meaning of coming here to cross the timeline was to be a bait to fish out Nozdom who was lost in another timeline.

"And this is the best chance to settle the grudge between you and my father." Anaclos said, "I believe that when he realizes his mistake, you will be able to let go of your old suspicions - in fact, what he did before was to fulfill his duty, I hope you can understand." ”

"I'll try my best." Jiang Weihan nodded.

The first confrontation between him and Nozdorm was because the Bronze Dragon King regarded Valoran's "Time Guardian" Kieran as an intruder, and Jiang Weihan as Kieran's agent, so he was ready to clean up this mistake with his own hands, and wipe him and the heroes from Valoran out of this world.

But Kilan is not an intruder, and although Jiang Weihan has crossed over, he is not a real intruder. Although he is changing history, even the head of the Pantheon Titan, the "father of the gods" Almansur, who gave Nozdom the power of time, does not regard him as an enemy, doesn't this show that Nozdom is purely crooked?

However, what Anaklos said was right, if he could release his previous suspicions, there would be no Nozdom who would always come to find trouble, and Jiang Weihan would be very happy to see this scene. After all, he didn't want to be really pushed by the bronze dragon with a group of space-time warriors as a villain boss one day.

At this time, Soridomi said, "We also know that you are discussing and stopping Malygos with Alexstasa and Isera, and it is very necessary. We, the Bronze Dragons, will join the war. Stop the Blue Dragon King from starting the Arcanian Nuclear War. ”

What she said was so righteous and awe-inspiring, but Jiang Weihan couldn't help but complain - Malygos would start this Austrian nuclear war, wasn't it also because Nozdom instilled wrong information in him? (To be continued......)
