Chapter 137: The Distance of Ten Thousand Years
"Lanloth?"
"Crassus. The gray-haired elf silently picked up the dragon scales on the ground, and pulled his gaze away from the scales in the other party's hand that were almost identical in color and shape, and skimmed to the red-haired man beside him, "And Luo Ning." ”
Different from the other party's doubts and disbelief, with his understanding of the history of this world in his previous life, this seemingly magical scene in front of him was unearthed by him in the blink of an eye.
When he heard about the 10,000-year-old unit from Nozdorm, he thought of these two men. Because according to the original timeline, due to the disturbance of time by the ancient gods, Nozdorm entrusted these two people to go back 10,000 years to correct history.
Unexpectedly, after going around and around, the other party quietly returned to 10,000 years ago when he didn't know it.
Looking at the dark golden dragon scales in the other party's hand, which were the same as the one in his hand in terms of appearance and breath, a hint of brightness appeared in Lan Luos's eyes, and then his eyebrows became more and more gloomy.
Of course, he didn't think that the other party was a sneaking hole into the Cave of Time like himself, and as Nozdorm said, the power of the hourglass of time was quite strange. No matter how intricate any timeline is, there is only one and only one of the hourglasses of time.
If you think of the timeline as an infinite number of railroad tracks, he and Crassus are both passengers on the train, and the hourglass of time and the platform under its feet are the transit station where all the rails are gathered, and the dragon scales with the same breath are the same arrival schedule.
That's right, why did the two meet at this moment after 10,000 years, presumably, it was only thanks to the dragon scales that exuded the same energy in their hands.
On the other side, Crassus and Ronin were speechless in shock. Ten thousand years ago, the two of them went through twists and turns, and finally successfully stepped onto the platform that carried the hourglass of time with the scales of Nozdorm, and as long as the scales touched the hourglass, the Lord of Time could break free from the turbulence of time through the power of the hourglass and return to Azeroth.
But who would have thought that in this place where it is absolutely impossible for anyone to intervene to stop it, such an absolutely impossible person was encountered.
Unlike the roaring energy storm in Lanros' sight, what Crassus and Ronin saw was a whole circle of dragon dignitaries around the platform with expectant faces.
But it was so strange that everyone's eyes were only on them, and no one seemed to notice that there was an elven mage with gray hair standing on the other side of the platform.
The three of them just stood, staring at each other, silent......
"Whew. Finally, the more urgent Ranros side spoke up to break the deadlock, "Grimbaatar, you know, the dragon's soul is shattered, and the dragon king takes back the power of the guardian. But the Eternal Dragon King took the opportunity to steal Nozdorm's power, and after widening the gap in strength, he exiled the Time Lord to the Time Vortex. ”
"Not long ago, Malygos found the Lord of Time, who was wandering in the turbulence of time and space, and finally commissioned me to go back 10,000 years to correct the time that had been corrupted by darkness, and to help him connect to the hourglass through the connection of dragon scales to the hourglass, in order to return to Azeroth. ”
"The hourglass is right in front of me right now, and as for the so-called erosion, it seems to be the two of you. ”
Lanlos succinctly stated the purpose and reason for his trip. Although there was vigilance in his expression, it was impossible for him to pinch Crassus without saying anything. On the contrary, the more times like this, the more he needs to be honest with Crassus.
And the other party was smart enough to quickly understand his intentions.
"We're not the erosion of darkness. Lanlos's rational performance relieved Crassus, after all, he still knows this guy better, don't look at him now, but if he really wants to do it, he really doesn't have much confidence.
"Ten thousand years ago, the Guardian of the Earth betrayed the Dragon Kings, the Lord of Time was severely damaged, and the loss of that part of the Guardian's power caused the Eternal Dragon King to take advantage of the opportunity, causing Nozdorm to be lost in the turbulence of time for 10,000 years. ”
"Not long ago, Grimbaatar, the Dragon's Soul was shattered, and the Bronze Dragon King, who had regained the power of the Guardians, broke free from his shackles and entrusted me with reclaiming control of the hourglass before the Dragon's Soul was forged, allowing the Lord of Time to return to this timeline in its entirety and finally thwart the Eternal Dragon's plot. ”
A simple and clear exchange of information, the two of them fell silent again in a very tacit understanding. Luo Ning, who was on the side, saw the two of them talking to themselves about the bull's head and the horse's mouth, and couldn't help muttering in his heart. But apparently the experience of 10,000 years ago made him grow a lot, and he did not regenerate the incident at such a critical moment.
"I know it might be hard for you to accept that, but, Lanloth. Crassus was the first to raise his head, "The power of the Guardians comes from the blessings of the gods, even if Nozdom and Mnozdor are the same person in terms of vital signs, but I believe that the gods will not leave a flaw that makes their power so easy to steal." ”
The credibility of these words is still very high, but unfortunately, the flawless god in his mouth made Lanlos shake his head silently.
The betrayal of Sargeras, the fall of the Pantheon, and the past all prove that the Titans are not omniscient and all-powerful gods, but are just powerful beings with far more understanding and abilities than mortals.
"If you were right, we wouldn't be here. ”
Yes, if the Titans can really leave no flaws, how can there be any room for the Eternal Dragon to be arrogant?
Moreover, there is one thing that Crassus said that Lanlos could not understand the most: "Before arguing about this, I have one more question. ”
"You said that Nozdorm sent you back to the time before the Dragon's Soul was forged, and that he could use the power of the hourglass to bring him down to Azeroth to stop Mnozdor. As the Lord of Time, after all, Nozdorm's duty is to protect the timeline from interference, can you tell me that he, a guardian who has been entrusted with such a heavy burden by the Titans, will he really sacrifice his duty to fight against the threat of the Eternal Dragon Legion in such a difficult situation?"
Repeatedly emphasizing the duties of a Guardian, Lanross does not mean anything yin and yang. If he were Nozdorm, he would have made such a choice, but when it came to Nozdorm, which he didn't know well, he really couldn't figure it out.
For countless years, the Guardians have been inseparable from their duties, and no matter what the circumstances, they have stood for their bottom line and never abandoned their responsibilities.
Even Deathwing, known as madness, was bewitched by the Elder Gods, but it was also intended to eliminate the threat of Azeroth, so that Twilight would come and set off a cataclysm that would affect all living beings, so as to achieve the goal of preventing the Elder Gods from getting help from captivity in this land.
In the face of the heavy responsibility of shouldering the whole world, encountering such a threat, how will the real Nordsdorm choose?
Hearing this, Crassus was stunned, as the consort of the Red Dragon Queen, his understanding of the Dragon King was far clearer and more affirmative than that of Lanlos. He knew that the Dragon Guardians, whether in life or in death, would never choose to abandon their responsibilities.
His beloved, the Red Dragon Queen Alexstrasa, was treated like an orc by the orcs, but she still endured the humiliation to protect the life of her heir. He understood better than anyone else that the duties of guardians were more important to the dragonlords than their lives, fame, and dignity.
This question, he crassus, leaves no room for negation.
"You're right, the real Nozdorm will never abandon his obligations and responsibilities, no matter what happens. ”
Hearing this, instead of being happy, Lanlos frowned, and continued to ask Crassus, who had put away the dragon scales: "Are you really sure?"
In the normal timeline, Deathwing returned, and Nozdorm sent adventurers to the Ancient War in another timeline to take the Dragon's Soul in order to deal with the Earth Guardian who strengthened himself with essentia armor. Although it was mentioned later, is this behavior regarded as Nozdorm's active destruction of the timeline that he has guarded for a lifetime?
Or is it just a compromise between the plot and the gameplay?
Nozdorm has very few appearances in both the backstory and the game, and the Bronze Dragon King is even more uncertain in reality. One-sided intelligence is simply not enough to support Lanlos to make conclusive inferences.
In particular, realizing that Crassus was convinced by what he had just said, he silently stepped back, as if he had left the decision to him. While Lanlos was under a lot of pressure, he almost hated the iron and scolded him.
After all, what he said just now, he didn't even convince himself, you Crassus is smart now, and as soon as you shake the pot, you don't care about anything?
I'm so hard......
His fingers gripped the dragon scales so hard that Lanlos hoped that the scales would shatter in his hands. Because in this way, there is no need to make any choices, if even the strength of a mortal cannot resist it, how can it be called the scales of a real dragon king?
Unfortunately, his hesitation and hesitation not only did not bring any expansion to his thinking, but on the contrary, caused him to make him even more uncomfortable.
The howls of the energy storm in his ears began to weaken at some point, and by the time the gray-haired elf came back to his senses, the brilliant golden streamer had weakened and become more transparent. The perception suddenly tightened, and he subconsciously turned his head, and the scene that caught his eyes made him tear in the eyes for just a moment.
As if time had stood still, the flesh and blood wreckage that was still floating in the air suddenly converged towards the center at an extremely fast speed, and as the blue and white lines appeared in the center of the pitch-black vortex, a thick and ancient aura that silenced the hourglass of time poured into the cave of time like a violent wind and waves.
The black swirls and blue and white lines intertwined and fused with each other to build a huge and majestic dragon head.
As the head slowly turned to face him, Lanlos went into cardiac arrest, gave up thinking directly, picked up the dragon scales, and ran all the way in the direction of the hourglass as if desperately.
As I said earlier, Lanlos is a pragmatic layman, the world is big, and the small life is the greatest. He didn't have time to study the reason for the sudden appearance of the Eternal Dragon King, let alone think about how to fight against this immortal Dragon King who went down in history.
In front of him, there was only one way, and he had no choice.
Feeling the breath of the Eternal Dragon King as if the despair and madness of the end of countless hours were rapidly approaching, the elven mage leapt to his feet, and with the help of the explosive evil energy, roared forward, and pressed the dragon scales against the hourglass.
Time, as if it had stopped at this moment, but what made Lanlos tremble was that the howling breath behind him still caught up unrelentingly!
, ruthless!
Clearly feeling that the power of time retreated the moment it touched the back of his hand, Lan Luo didn't catch his breath, and was almost so angry that he spurted blood. When he came back to his senses, the storm of eternal breath that had torn apart the energy of time like the heavens and the earth had shattered had quietly touched his back.
Boom ——!
Black, white, gold, interlaced energy brilliance and brilliance collided and distorted, stimulated so strongly that the originally static time hourglass suddenly erupted into a penetrating hum.
The fluctuations visible to the naked eye spread with the sound wave in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, everything disappeared.
