This Former Guardian Mom, You Wouldn't Want Your Son to Be Harshly Punished by Hanging Bro, Would You? [25]
(Additional update for brother "Huo Zhengtinghao" [2/5])
Chromie blinked, pretending to be an ordinary dwarf bard, added a few pieces of firewood to the nearby campfire, and pricked up his ears to eavesdrop on the conversation between Diakum and Aegwynn.
She thought it would be really interesting to be a temporary caregiver in this already distorted timeline!
As Bronze Dragons who can travel through time, she has traveled through "normal history" too many times. She knows how many things the entire world will go through in that history and what great adventures and perfect endings there will be. It is a pretty good experience, but she will get bored after watching it too many times.
She is like a natural prophet who has already seen all the future, just like playing a game without having any fun in the experience.
But this timeline is different!
Not only was the past different, but the future was also chaotic and unknown. For example, Chromie had no idea whether the two guys in front of him would suddenly start fighting.
This mysterious "sense of unknown" is simply the most precious wealth in the world for a "crooked" Bronze Dragons like her.
All her experience is useless here.
She must use her own wisdom and judgment to find a way to survive in this world that is much more dangerous than the normal timeline. She also has to go on adventures with Diakum, the "source of chaos". This is her duty as the guardian of time.
Chromie doesn't hate being "forced to work overtime" this time at all.
If possible, she would even be willing to pay to extend this overtime experience, at least to let her see with her own eyes what kind of results this messy timeline can finally achieve with the help of Diakum.
Ah, great Nozdormu, please be merciful and let other timelines not have trouble for the time being, at least not something big that requires all Scale of the Sands members to gather.
Just think of it as giving me a break during this time Defender, which I have worked so hard for and running around in the timeline all year round, and let me have a good rest here.
"Bronze Dragons is eavesdropping on the other end."
Aegwynn, whose identity was revealed, did not take off her hood. She sat cross-legged on the cushion she brought and said to the giant Draenei who was sitting by the campfire:
"How brave do you have to be to let a Bronze Dragons follow you? I guess you are her prisoner? And you were captured because you disturbed the timeline?"
"According to the agreement between me and Ms. Chromie, I cannot discuss issues of timeline and destiny with anyone other than her."
Diakum opened his holy deed, touched the sacred scriptures written by his own hands with his fingers, and said:
"So, let's talk about the "good things" your son has done in my world, and how you are prepared to intervene and end this increasingly bad thing."
"I'm all ears."
Aegwynn replied calmly.
She could sense the power of Diakum, but she looked indifferent.
As a human mage who has lived for more than 800 years (the normal human life span is about 120 years old), she relied on her own understanding of arcane magic to become an arcane demigod hundreds of years ago. Even though she has now lost her powerful guardian magic power, she is not afraid of the foreigners in front of her.
Just a borderline demigod.
Although there are not many demigods in Azeroth Material World, they are definitely not few. Just the messy group of Loas in Trolls can make up dozens of them. Compared with the dangerous guys she has encountered in her magnificent life, the threats Diakum poses to her are not even in the top five.
Vigilant also knows very well how "crazy" the lady in front of her was when she was young.
As the One is the only woman in the physical universe who is officially recorded as having "defeated Sargeras", Aegwynn's gold content is simply an unsurpassable miracle among spell casters.
Although the "Sargeras" that Aegwynn defeated was only an incarnation with at most 1% of the power, and that battle was basically the result of Sargeras deliberately letting go in order to achieve certain goals.
But victory is victory. Even the weakened Sargeras will not lose to any cat or dog casually. This excellent record is enough to prove that the "strong demeanor" of the woman in front of him is by no means intentional.
He did not exaggerate or conceal, telling her the whole process of how Medivh intervened in Draenor's war, how he reached an agreement with War Horde and finally sent an entire fortress and hundreds of thousands of demon blood Green Skins to Black Morass.
After listening to the description of the "suffering master", Aegwynn had already lost all worldly desires. At this moment, like a parent who was called to school after his child made a mistake, he felt a trace of shame with his cheeks burning.
After all, if the half-giant in front of her hadn't lied, then her eldest son would have almost ruined the world with his own hands.
This is much more serious than being disobedient and pushing classmates at school, or hiding in the toilet and smoking.
"Maybe it's not his"
No matter how powerful Aegwynn is, she is first and foremost a mother. Facing Diakum's stern and just gaze, the demigod mage felt a little embarrassed and just started, but was interrupted by Diakum:
"I know what you are talking about. There is some "darkness" in Medivh's soul that does not belong to him, but I can tell you clearly that he is looking for Orcs as his servants, bringing them into the scattered human country, and using war to force humanity and even the entire Eastern Continent to reunite.
It's all up to him to think and decide!
Don't attribute all problems to the darkness in his soul. You know better than I what kind of character your son is, so he has no reason to justify such a crazy behavior!"
Aegwynn fell silent.
She couldn't refute, not only because she was wrong, but what Draenei in front of her said was right.
She knows her own son best. After Medivh inherited the magic power of Guardians of Tirisfal from him, he has been thinking about how to better protect the continuation of human civilization and ethnic groups.
The current infighting between Seven Human Kingdoms will indeed disappoint anyone with lofty ideals. In the few times she spent time with her son, Medivh also expressed similar extreme thoughts to her.
Her son believes that the current Eastern Continent is no longer as good as the era when Emperor Thoradin led the people to conquer the Amani Troll empire 2,800 years ago.
The division of the empire caused humanity to fall into political infighting and continue to weaken.
More than that, Aegwynn is well-informed, so she will always describe to her son the entire glory of Azeroth World.
In War of the Ancients 10,000 years ago, when humans were not yet born, the world relied on its own power to defeat the arrogant Burning Legion head-on. Even when Dark Titan came in person, he was beaten back by the power of the world.
That was the most united, glorious, and glorious era in the world. Since then, the entire world has fallen into a quagmire of various disputes and has been unable to extricate itself.
Medivh is wise. This child's talent is even stronger than Aegwynn. He is destined to achieve great things. Therefore, as a guardian, Medivh believes that he has the responsibility to reunite the divided world.
But this kid is just too arrogant.
He may have had a premonition that an ancient enemy was returning to the world, so he chose the most direct way to forcibly create unity.
This was indeed a disaster caused by her son.
Aegwynn sighed amidst the peeling sound of the bonfire burning nearby.
She reached out and took off her magic hood, exposing her face that was not old but still maintained its youthful appearance to Diakum. She said sincerely:
"I will solve this matter! I will go to Karazhan to talk to my son. I will persuade him to send that city and those Green Skins back to your world. The problems he caused will be solved by me myself."
"I believe Medivh respects his mother, but I think you seem to have overestimated your influence on him."
Vigilant shook his head and said:
"If a conversation could solve the problem, I don't think Medivh would do such a crazy thing. I advise you to be prepared to face the worst case scenario. Since this is a hunt across the world, I will go to Karazhan with you later.
I will end this dispute in a fair way.
Of course, it's not just about solving the problem of Medivh. I heard that Mage Tower contains many ancient secrets in this world. I won't hide that I have other purposes in Azeroth. I need to borrow the books in Karazhan to find some clues."
"If this brings comfort to you foreigners who have been harmed by my children, then the collection of books that my husband and I have personally collected can be made available to you."
Aegwynn nodded.
This scene also resembles the gesture of a parent of a child who has made a mistake when apologizing to the victim.
Don't tell me, Diakum thinks this is really interesting. It's rare to see a "true strong woman" like Magna Aegwynn bow her head and submit.
Chromie, who was recording this scene next to him, blinked.
What!
How come this is back to the storyline of persuading Medivh? Isn't this what Aegwynn did in the normal timeline?
So, is this the legendary self-correction of fate?
Diakum planned to end the conversation just like that, but soon he heard Shadow Word's dissatisfied whisper:
"The rules in the shadows are not like this. Diakum, Holy Light has molded you into tolerance, but do you have to be so kind when facing a murderer who has hurt you?
The shackles on your body have been removed, but your soul has been bound! This kind of thing is not allowed to happen in the darkness. The law of the jungle is our rule.
You can't walk into the night like this."
Vigilant thought for a while and realized that Shadow Word was right this time, so he looked at Aegwynn and said:
"But your child has hurt the Draenor world, and this cannot be compensated by one or two apologies. If you apologize, you should also show sincerity. After this is over, can you take me to Tomb of Sargeras?"
There are a few things in there that I really need."
Aegwynn felt relieved when he heard this.
How could someone like her, who had lived for more than eight hundred years, only believe in verbal promises.
She hoped to get a "respite" for her son in front of an "otherworld murderer" like Diakum. Seeing Diakum's "conditions", she realized that the real negotiation had begun.
But when she was about to speak, she looked at Diakum in surprise.
Vigilant couldn't hide the trace of discomfort on his face, so the former guardian rolled his eyes and said softly:
"What? It's your first time to do this kind of thing of asking for compensation and bargaining? Your expression is just like the one when those fair Holy Light Follower first participated in gang fraud. I can see that awkwardness without even using my eyes.
You didn't originally plan to add this additional condition, right?
What made you change your mind?"
"I'm just Holy Light and I won't do this, but the shadow has its own rules and I need to get into them."
Dick explained, and Aegwynn said suddenly:
"Well, the trial of the road, it turns out that if you want to control the shadow, you have to walk into the shadow.
In order to clarify my Arcane path, I also studied the Fel spell for a period of time, and even almost got lost in the call of Twisting Nether. However, after Medivh was born, the temptation of Fel seemed to have left me.
Alien Saint, do you want to walk the twin paths of light and shadow?
It sounds very difficult.
The boundary between the two is blurred most of the time, especially believers who have stayed in the light for too long, often losing touch with the real world. The more obsessed they are with enforcing justice, the easier it is to degenerate into paranoia.
I can take you to that dangerous place as compensation for what Medivh did to Draenor, but you must tell me first, what are you going to find in Tomb of Sargeras?"
The former guardian said seriously:
"If you are a prophet, then you should know what kind of dangerous things are sealed inside."
"I need the Dark Staff that can travel around the world at will, the space artifact that brings the incarnation of Sargeras into this world."
Diakum said:
"I'm worried about the situation at Draenor. That staff can send me and my followers back there. I've prepared a united army at Draenor, and Demon Blood Horde is just their first prey.
That world is incompatible with the devil!
If Azeroth will face the threat of the devil again, then K'ure Alliance is willing to join this fateful confrontation when you need it.
Of course, it's not free!"
Vigilant added a superfluous sentence at the end, and then heard Shadow Word's disdainful snort.
Obviously, Darkness expressed dissatisfaction with his poor negotiation, but considering that this was Saint's first attempt to refuse to act aboveboard, Shadow Word tactfully expressed that he still had a lot of room for improvement.
"Well, things seem to be getting interesting."
The expression of Chromie, who had been eavesdropping, became happy, but before she could continue to think about Diakum's plan, three people, including her, turned to look somewhere on the other side of Black Morass at the same time.
They could clearly feel that a huge Arcane Energy was erupting there.
But it is not the direction of Karazhan.
"It's Blue Dragon! An adult Blue Dragon."
Chromie jumped up and shouted:
"It's fighting someone around there!"
"No, it's the friend I invited. He is the inspector of Arcanagos, Magic Legion in the Eastern Continent. He is very responsible, maybe a little too responsible."
Aegwynn suddenly stood up and planned to teleport.
But Diakum was faster than her. He took a few steps forward and called out to Sunwing. He asked Sunlight Eagle to carry him and turned into a flying fireball and rushed out.
At the same time as Arcane Energy broke out, Diakum heard the reminder from Star Soul:
"There is an explosive aura of Draenor Divine Ring over there, it is Warrior of the K'ure Alliance."
Although Star Soul's power is small, his perception is far beyond that of ordinary people.
He said so, Diakum had to take action. When Sunwing quickly approached the other edge of Black Morass, Vigilant saw the two warring parties.
A Blue Dragon is constantly bombarding in the form of a giant dragon. In the muddy water in front of it, his granddaughter is protecting an injured human mage and hiding in panic. Under the claws of Blue Dragon is the remains of a Primal Thornbeast summoned by the ring of Marus the Blood Drinker.
Draenor's divine ring became weak without Draenor, and even the level of the summons was severely reduced. Only then was Blue Dragon able to defeat him in a few seconds.
Under normal circumstances, a thick-skinned and ferocious thing like Primal Thornbeast would not be so easy to handle.
"Leave me and run! This dragon is angry."
Khadgar, who was injured by AOE, will turn pale.
After all, he is not the powerful Grand Magus who can easily use Arcane+fire+freezing in the future, and Kargath is willing to pay him a head.
He shouted to Garona who was dragging him to escape the bombing of Arcane:
"The only thing it wants is me, you go away! It won't chase you, this Blue Dragon is crazy."
"Shut up, you are my prisoner!"
Garona dodges a little awkwardly.
She also felt the weakness of the divine ring on her finger. She was frantically thinking of a solution when she suddenly saw a familiar "sun" falling from the sky.
This immediately made the half-Orcs assassin feel relieved.
"My powerful grandpa Saint is here, and this stupid four-legged lizard is dead! Just wait and see, the powerful Vigilant will burn it to death with endless holy flames! Curse this bad-tempered damn lizard!
What kind of dog starts a fight without any explanation when meeting someone?
People in your world are so rude!
Ogres, the rudest person over there, knows how to shout a few slogans to build up his momentum before robbing someone."
Garona shouted in joy, causing Khadgar to raise his head curiously and want to see what the "Endless Holy Flame" was.
Then, as the two people looked at each other in surprise, Diakum was covered in dark gauze in the sky, with that thick shadow. No, under Voidform, the dancing shadows could not even reach the shining Sunwing and Bright Light were contaminated with mysterious and magnificent "dark flames", turning the good Sunwing into a "dark Phoenix".
Although it is also very beautiful.
But after seeing her "grandfather" enter Shadowform, Garona's face changed slightly. She dragged Kadera back quickly and said with regret:
"Let's have a moment of silence for that Blue Dragon! It woke up Dark Archon, and now it can't be ended with a beating. Grandpa seems to be in a bad mood today. It must be this bad world that has provoked him!"
