"The matter escalated, and the deceived Emissary to confront Thrall. Thrall, that cunning and stubborn Orcs, actually offered the Emissary a love poem and a bowl of bone broth. Yes, Thrall had secretly kept the Zandalar Queen hidden away and used the excuse of eating her to shirk responsibility. How could such a clumsy scheme deceive the Emissary?"
Robbie was stunned by Thrall's love affair with the Queen of the Zandalari Empire. He never expected that such powerful figures could have such an unbreakable bond. Wasn't Thrall said to have a hidden ailment? Could it be that only the Queen of the Zandalar Empire could restore his virility?
"I secretly taught her a few tricks, Moira used the power of the Firelands to successfully eliminate the opposition among the Black Ones and seize power for herself. She truly lives up to her reputation as my daughter, Magni. Her methods of plotting behind the scenes are very similar to mine. It seems I can finally pass the throne of Ironforge to her with peace of mind."
"The Emissary furious and wanted to kill Thrall, but fortunately, the Guardian Aegwynn intervened and stopped the fight. Emissary a bunch of idiots! The Scourge is advancing towards Mount Hyjal, and they're arguing over such a trivial matter. Even I, who am behind the scenes, am itching to jump out, but reason tells me I must be patient."
"The Scourge has finally been driven back, and the defense of Nordrassil has been successful. The Titans Relic Heart of Azeroth, tells me that only the Emissary and Archimonde have ever set foot on Nordrassil, so there's no mistake. I don't expect any reward from the Moon Goddess; my greatest hope is that Moira will be safe and sound."
"In the end, only Archimonde remains as a problem. The Wrath of Nordrassil was prepared for him. This Battle of Mount Hyjal yielded unexpected gains, revealing several of the Night Elf race cards. A group of schemers, behind Tyrande and Malfurion's backs, devised many formidable schemes. Fortunately, the couple was foolish and ignorant, cowardly and weak in the face of the Orcs, but ruthless towards their own people."
"Damn it, Thrall actually had a child with the Zandalar Queen! Can Orcs and Trolls reproduce? How could such a strange thing happen? God-King Rastakhan has no children to this day, and this child has become a tool for a group of conspirators. Aegwynn used mysterious magic to bring the child into the world prematurely, transforming her from an infant into a young woman, and then erasing all her Orcs characteristics so as not to arouse the suspicion of the Zandalari Empire."
Robbie was utterly stunned when he read this. Princess Talanji was actually Thrall's daughter! If it weren't for Bronzebeard's diary, who would believe it? Robbie calmed himself down and continued reading out of curiosity.
"My dear daughter, power brings us convenience and glory, but you must use it carefully and exercise restraint. Perhaps I, as your father, shouldn't interfere in your private life, but at least you should keep a low profile. For a queen, reputation is extremely important."
"Aegwynn's magic could deceive the ministers of the Zandalari Empire, but it couldn't deceive the God-King Rastakhan. How will this old King deal with it? Will he fiercely resist, or silently endure and secretly gather strength? I suspect he won't give up easily and will definitely not pass the Zandalari Empire to Thrall's bloodline."
"The moment this girl named Talanji entered the Zandalari Empire, she attracted the attention of many Loa. A group of clever creatures, they probably guessed the girl's background and knew what her bloodline meant. It's truly a tragedy for this ancient empire."
"Malfurion failed to unleash the Wrath of Nordrassil. Although he ultimately defeated Archimonde, the World Tree Nordrassil was severely damaged. I felt utterly hopeless and defeated. I had failed the Moon Goddess's expectations. In my dream, the Emissary comforted me, telling me not to worry, that we had succeeded. Strange, what happened?"
What follows is a long blank space, because the diary was too badly damaged to be restored, with only the last few entries remaining.
"My daughter, today is your birthday. I had planned to surprise you in Blackrock Depths, but you've given me quite a surprise. We Humans are full of strong and excellent young men, so why did you have to get involved with a human? If it were just an ordinary human noble, that would be one thing, but why Prince Anduin all people?"
No way, Anduin and Moira, the world of these important figures is really hard to understand.
"Moira sincerely apologized to me. What could I say but forgive her, then silence everyone who knew, and take Prince Anduin back to Ironforge. Moira expressed her willingness to share my burdens and wanted to learn how to use the Dream Hammer. Yes, I am growing old day by day, and you will eventually inherit my position. I am very gratified to see my daughter grow up. One day, you will inherit the King of Ironforge and become the new Guardian of the World Tree."
"In my dream, I received an oracle from the Moon Goddess. Brann brought back an ancient stone tablet from Ulduar, and the Moon Goddess commanded me to use the rituals inscribed on the tablet to attempt to communicate with the elements. This was an extremely dangerous act, but the Moon Goddess's instructions were infallible. Strangely, the Moon Goddess's voice in the dream was somewhat peculiar, quite different from the usual oracle pronouncements."
"Haha, perhaps I'm overthinking it, Moira, my daughter, you will be a good King."
This was the last entry in the diary. Robbie's heart sank when he read it. Back then, when Magni Bronzebeard turned into diamond, Moira was able to fight her way back from Blackrock Depths to claim the throne before anyone else. This in itself was very strange.
Could it really be Moira's conspiracy? Magni had already sensed something amiss.
Royal power is devoid of kinship; the struggle for the throne is always a bloody and cruel affair.
Combining the information gathered from Dalaran and the Explorers' League, Robbie was able to roughly deduce the Moon Goddess's methods: the Humans King was the Guardian the World Tree secretly arranged by the Moon Goddess. The Explorers' League was excavating Titans Ruins everywhere, the Dwarf King was using Titans relics to operate behind the scenes, and a mysterious divine Emissary filling in the gaps.
Robbie Anjing pondered a solution. In any relatively peaceful era, Robbie, a time traveler, could not contend with the World Tree Guardian wielded immense worldly power.
Only when the Burning Legion invades, the Scourge rises, good and evil are indistinguishable in Azeroth, and the World Tree's Guardians are severely weakened during the most chaotic and turbulent years, might Robbie have a slight chance.
Although Bronzebeard's journal records that no living being besides the Emissary and Archimonde has ascended the World Tree, Robbie will not give up because of this. If he cannot get close to Nordrassil, he can still consider Teldrassil.
"Have you made your decision?" the Black Cat asked.
Robbie nodded. "I want to return to the Archimonde descended upon Dalaran, the moment of my last return, to fight alongside the Lich King Arthas and resist the Burning Legion's invasion."
The time is almost here.
The Black Cat gave a strange smile, "When the world ends, we will return. Go, Robbie. Every ripple in history, every tiny wave, will create a huge wave in the future. Go and create your own history of Azeroth."
Next, Robbie visited Vanessa, then went to Mount Hyjal. He looked at the scarred land for a long time, thinking about the great battle that had taken place there and how he would also be a part of it. His heart was filled with emotion, and it took him a long time to calm down.
With everything prepared, the warriors embarked on their journey.
