"Are you awake?"
When the powerful Scale of the Sands Warrior, the experienced time tinker, the famous Guardian Dragonflight rising star, and the detested Chromie named "Hated by Humans and Dragons" woke up from the terrible and humiliating shock, the first thing she saw was the gentle big face of Draenei by the window.
The little dwarf blinked and his pupils turned into the snake pupils of the giant dragon.
Under the gaze of the giant dragon, she clearly saw a giant Starlight Shaping standing behind Diakum who was sitting by the window and writing the sacred contract with a quill.
She had never seen such a giant, but she felt fear from the bottom of her heart.
Although the energy that the other party relies on Diakum is not much, the nobility of this kind of power has never been in the amount of power, but in the fact that it was given by Pantheon in the ancient "Titan Era" World Guardian" A member of the powerful Guardian Dragonflight, Chromie obviously understands the meaning of "Star Soul" better than the bumpkins of Draenor.
Of course, because of some "disagreements" between Guardian Dragonflight and Titan Keepers, those arrogant and closed-minded Titan Keepers did not share much Star Soul with Dragon Aspects E is a mystery, but core dragons like Chromie can still be learned from some classical books. Deep in the world that the dragons have guarded for hundreds of thousands of years sleeps the "sisters" of Titan.
Azeroth just hasn't awakened yet. After he matures, the great Pantheon will have another powerful true god.
"What is that on you?"
Chromie huddled on the bed.
Her fear at this time was really not an act. It was like a "temporary servant" in a wealthy family who accidentally bumped into the young master who was destined to inherit the family business. Being deducted from his salary was now a trivial matter.
She stammered and said in dragon language:
"Is that a True Titan God?"
Dick put down his quill and completed today's "calligraphy practice". Ever since Commander Talgas complained that "writing is ugly" more than 20,000 years ago, he has been secretly practicing calligraphy in order to amaze everyone in the future.
But because it has been sleeping for 20,000 years, this effort has not made much progress to this day.
"No, Argus is just Star Soul and has nothing to do with Titan."
Diakum sighed and burned his dog-like handwriting with Shadowflame. He looked back at Chromie and said in a gentle tone:
"Just like the Star Soul sleeping in the Azeroth planet, of course, I know that you Titan servants have your own understanding of this matter, and I have no intention of correcting your misconceptions at this time.
I have no ill intentions towards you, Ms. Chromie, I just want to ask you a few questions."
"I'm at Lakeshire?"
Chromie dispersed her sense of being a giant dragon and quickly captured her position. She glanced at Diakum with a strange look in her eyes and said:
"Have you talked to the local human general Gavinrad?"
"Well, although Infinite Dragonflight made trouble midway, I still told him the news that Green Skins entered Black Morass."
Vigilant said:
"Gavinrad General is an enthusiastic person. He is willing to let his scouts help me gather my Warrior scattered nearby while investigating Orcs's movements. Don't worry, I didn't say much about the "truths" they shouldn't know.
Astral Mage Medivh is not an enemy that ordinary soldiers can deal with, and I do not intend to involve these loyal Warrior in such a whirlpool of fate."
Having said this, Diakum looked at Chromie and asked seriously:
"So, if I behave like this, will I be "wanted" by Bronze Dragonflight?"
"Ah?"
This question was asked to Chromie, which was silly.
No, brother!
You have such a terrifying "spirit behind" living in your body, and you are still afraid of stupid Bronze Dragonflight! Didn't you see that I fainted just after being spiritually touched by Master Argus?
That's Star Soul!
That is the true god who will become Titan in the future!
How dare our little Dragon Aspects dare to "want" you?
We don't think our life is too comfortable, so we plan to put some pressure on ourselves.
But Chromie is a well-informed person. With a flick of her eyes, she read an important message from Diakum's serious attitude:
This super powerful Draenei is wary of Bronze Dragonflight! And he doesn't seem to intend to break Guardian Dragonflight's rules.
It stands to reason that I should intimidate him now so that Diakum can cooperate with his work as a "time policeman", but as soon as he saw the terrifying astral spirit body, Chromie immediately gave up the idea of being a racing boat.
She really didn't dare to offend Lord Star Soul.
Not only is she cowardly, but also because this is how the "code" is written. Titan had already written the underlying code when he gave Dragon Kings "Imparting Power". Who hires employees and teaches them to disrespect the boss?
So, Chromie answered honestly:
"No, it won't!
The timeline you are on has been sealed by Scale of the Sands. I think you should be a prophet similar to Velen. The history of the future is an open book for you to read, so I will not hide it."
The little dwarf was sitting cross-legged on the bed.
She said to Vigilant:
"Bronze Dragonflight will only observe the sealed timeline to a minimum, and I am the temporary maintainer of this timeline. If you know something about our rules, you should know that the changes in this timeline are all caused by your activity in Argus!
Unfortunately, Bronze Dragons can only travel through time at will in Azeroth, and we cannot handle your interference and intervention from the "external".
Therefore, theoretically, there are no restrictions on the actions of you and Mr. Argus Star Soul in Azeroth. However, out of Time Guardian's responsibilities, I still want to remind you to try not to do anything too dangerous.
For example, Awaken Azeroth Star Soul in advance!
This may cause major turbulence in the time network, and countless normal timelines will be affected."
"Well, that's it."
Diakum nodded, he stroked Argus Heart, and after a brief conversation with Star Soul, he looked at Chromie and said:
" Master Argus hopes to have a face-to-face conversation with his sister. He feels that his sister is being affected by order and void at the same time. He must confirm whether his sister needs help!
Can you arrange it?"
"Me? Arranging such a big thing for Star Soul to meet? You might as well just let me drink a hundred pounds of strong liquor and then challenge Great Demon Lord Kil'jaeden."
Chromie's eyes almost rolled to the sky.
But looking at Diakum's serious look, Bronze Dragons had no choice but to reveal more "dragon secrets", she whispered:
"We Dragon Aspects are only allowed to protect the natural evolution and world order of Azeroth. Guardian Dragonflight is just a subordinate unit of the World Guardian system left by the Titans. We cannot even directly perceive the existence of Star Soul.
All matters related to Star Soul on this planet are directly handled by the "Guardians".
Without their permission, no one can contact the noble Star Soul.
But I think that if it is the request of another noble Star Soul, then the guardians will probably be able to do it conveniently. But the problem is that the guardians have been sleeping for hundreds of thousands of years.
They have never been interested in changes in the outside world, and we don't know how to wake them up.
So, although I am willing to help, I really can't help with this matter."
"Hmm."
Dick nodded, he stood up and said to Chromie:
"In this case, I can take the liberty to ask you not to tell other dragons that Argus Lord and I arrived at Azeroth, is that okay?"
"This is what it should be! We Bronze Dragons never talk too much about things related to the direction of the timeline. We are only observers and guardians of the time network, not interveners. Of course, I have no control over Infinite Dragonflight.
But they don't dare to intervene in anything related to Titan Star Soul. They may have the courage, but they definitely don't have that much energy."
Chromie answered very seriously.
She rolled her eyes, looked very smart, jumped out of bed full of energy, and said:
"But in order to fulfill my mission as the caregiver of this timeline, I must stay with you and Lord Argus for a long time. Please don't worry! I will not interfere with any of your actions. You can treat me as if I don't exist most of the time.
Also, didn't you say that if I was interested in your story, you would tell me?"
The little dwarf waved his hand and pulled out a thick-covered magic book that was as big as half her body. He opened a few pages and let it float in the air, looking at Diakum eagerly.
With those big blinking eyes, he signaled that he could start telling.
It can be seen that Chromie, who is only as tall as the crook of Diakum's legs, has curiosity and thirst for knowledge that do not match her body shape. She really wants to know Vigilant's past, just like a fanatical star chaser.
This made Diakum laugh, but he did not reject the request.
Anyway, it's still a few hours before Gavinrad General's scouts set off, and there's nothing much to do now.
But when Diakum was telling his story about Argus and Draenor, in his spiritual world, he was having another conversation with Argus Star Soul.
"These creatures calling themselves "Dragon Aspects" have been modified!"
Star Soul whispered:
"They should be one of the first creatures born from Azeroth. Their talents are strong and they should be able to sense the existence of Star Soul. On the contrary, Titan Keepers is a complete outsider.
Just like Aggramar created Genesis Giant Spirit Gronn and forcibly interrupted Draenor's promotion, Titan also imposed a series of restrictions on my sisters. They wanted my powerful but unfortunate sister to walk the Arcane way of order.
These Dragon Aspects are part of the system they left behind.
But now, I can hear Azeroth wailing in his sleep, the void is still corroding Him! Titan's transformation failed, and caused worse consequences, it is really incompetent!"
"Yes, Argus."
Diakum replied in his heart:
"Dragon Aspects was given the power of the world by Titan through the World Guardian they left behind. However, these big lizards did not realize the cruel truth.
They are born "World Guardian", Warrior who were shaped by Azeroth Star Soul to defend the world, but they were appointed as guards of order by Titan, which completely deviates from the original intention of the dragons being born in this world.
We may start from this point and use Guardian Dragonflight as a starting point to gradually dismantle the control method Titan exerts on your sisters.
Of course, in this process we must deal with the more dangerous void corrosion to make Supreme Star Soul truly healthy."
"It seems you have a plan?"
Argus asked:
"But this little dragon also said that even I can't talk to my sisters without the permission of the guardians. Titan obviously took this into consideration. They set up a closed system that isolates the outside world and does not allow Azeroth Star Soul to have any interaction with the outside world."
"You don't have to worry about the Guardians."
Diakum said casually:
"Those guys who are so weak that they have their own strange problems are not a problem at the moment. I know a secret room where you can talk to Azeroth. Unfortunately, it is far away on another continent, and there is a high probability that it will be invaded and occupied by Void Servants.
But according to what I learned from the captured demon prince, in War of the Ancients that happened 10,000 years ago, Azeroth Star Soul briefly woke up once, giving Anti-Demon Crusade a certain amount of strength at that time, allowing them to successfully defeat the demon.
This shows that the closed system left by Titan has been broken through.
This is our chance!
I need to collect some information now. Please bear with your anger about the suffering of your sisters for the time being. I will definitely arrange a conversation with you and Azeroth as soon as possible.
I have already made a preliminary plan on how to bring Guardian Dragonflight into our camp.
I need some time to perfect it."
Star Soul fell silent, and after a moment, He said:
"After the training given to you by Holy Light was temporarily suspended, Diakum, you are different. You are no longer fanatical and start to choose to make decisions before taking action. If you were the previous Vigilant, you would be afraid that you would have killed Black Morass and continue to complete the slaughter and punishment of Green Skins."
"I'm just trying to change."
Dick sighed and said:
"I'm just imitating those who go into the shadows. You know, if I want to complete the path of Light-Shadow Twinborn, I have to understand the rules of the shadows first.
This is difficult for me.
I have to always suppress my urge to rush into Karazhan to purify Medivh.
There is also the urge to immediately intervene in the war between the Stormwind Kingdom and Orcs, minimize casualties and let the matter end in the way of Holy Light Walker.
I still have to face fate here, but this time, it will no longer be in the Huanghuang Holy Light way."
"Very good, I don't want my child to become a reckless man who only knows how to take the blame when trouble comes."
Argus Star Soul encouraged:
"Sargeras is not an opponent that can be defeated by relying on strength, so we occasionally need a little shadow wisdom to help us plan the overall situation. Do you need me to keep an eye on this little dragon to prevent her from doing something she shouldn't do?
She is a servant of Titan, and neither you nor I like Titan."
"Then I'm sorry to trouble you, but Chromie is not a bad person. She has a clear distinction between love and hate. Once she learns the truth about the dragons that Titan Keepers deliberately concealed, she will definitely make the right choice.
So please be kind to her."
"Don't move! Put down your staff and keep your tongue steady! If I hear your vocal cords vibrate, this dagger will pierce your neck!"
Garona scolded the young human being held hostage by her in a fierce tone, but she ignored that Azeroth people naturally cannot understand Draenei language.
Fortunately, violence is also a language, and it is universal across the universe.
Facing the dagger forged by Blackhand and infused with the living wood death plague by Polluter, the unlucky guy who was held hostage had no intention of showing off his bravery.
He obediently threw away his Purple Fir Staff, raised his hands, and opened his mouth. But his eyes rolled around, which fully proved that this young man dressed as a mage obviously had his own ideas when encountering danger.
At Garona's request, the young man turned around and saw a taller alien assassin wearing a black cloak and a strange "Serpent Scale Armor" suit.
He noticed a ferocious Green Skins head hanging on the assassin's belt.
The owner of the head had his eyes wide open when he was about to die, and seemed to be roaring angrily, but even though he was dead, the dark magic wrapped around the skull still made this "mage apprentice" feel trembling.
The owner of this head is definitely a powerful spell caster, a first-rate master even among Dalaran.
"What's your name? Forget it, you don't understand."
Garona originally wanted to ask why this human being appeared sneakily at the edge of Black Morass, but she soon realized that she could not communicate with the locals, but this did not trouble Garona.
A few seconds later, the half-Orcs assassin asked in stammering Thalassian:
"Can you understand Elvish?"
She learned this from Arantien during several short-term cooperation. As a hybrid of Draenei, Garona obviously inherited Draenei's learning ability, and being raised by Lelan allowed her to give full play to this learning ability.
The kidnapped mage apprentice was obviously startled, and then immediately replied in pure Thalassian:
"Of course, Thalassian is one of the official languages of Dalaran, but we use the Thalassian improved by High Elf, and you are obviously using the older Kaldorei Language System.
But this does not affect communication."
"Speak slower! I can't keep up."
Garona waved his dagger fiercely, making the human in front of him shrink his neck.
The latter raised his hands to show that he meant no harm and said softly:
"I am Khadgar, the magic apprentice of master Medivh. I was ordered by my master to come here to check the abnormality that occurred in Black Morass. Who are you?"
"Medivh? Okay! You turned out to be the villain's bastard too! I've caught you now. Very good. Since you are an enemy, you can use torture methods.
My powerful but pedantic Saint grandpa told me that to protect your friends you must be as gentle and sincere as the warm sunshine in spring, and to treat your enemies as ruthlessly as Blizzard in the cold winter. So, Khadgar of Dalaran, tell me."
Garona raised Khadgar's chin with a cold dagger, and she threatened in a long voice:
"How do you want me to treat you?"
