Shadow Trails in Azeroth

"Just in the past, I played a trick and won this future war!"

After loudly declaring victory, Blake pushed Sephiel's hand around his neck away, and stretched out his hand a little presumptuously to help Sephiel straighten his collar.

He waved his hand as if saying goodbye.

"Miss Long, who is unwilling, you can kill me, send me to my destiny, and then face the irreversible collapse of the world line, maybe go back to the Cave of Time.

Use the time portal there to go back seven days and prevent me from delivering the letter to Nathanos.

Don't try to do anything dangerous then.

You should know that if you kill me seven days ago, you will not be able to get this news from me seven days later.

This is the time paradox.

Pretty troublesome stuff, right?

You are a bronze dragon, and the first lesson you learned in the Caverns of Time is to avoid time paradoxes caused by your reckless actions.

You are bronze dragons, you are very special existences, you are independent at any point in time, but because of this, one mistake caused by you will lead to countless mistakes.

Your strength makes you strong, but also makes you restrained. "

Blake pulled out a chair in the frozen time stream and sat across from little Taresha who was frozen in time. The girl still had that silly smile on her face.

Blake shook his head as he watched.

He stretched out his hand and tried to brush little Taresha's hair, but his fingers came up empty. He was not a bronze dragon, and he did not have the ability to control the flow of time.

Although he and Taresha are in the same time stream now, they are obviously in different dimensions.

This is where the power of the bronze dragon is unreasonable.

time

This highest level of power is a level that is difficult for mortals to touch.

It is said that there are some great mages who can understand some of the mysteries of time, but the knowledge of time they possess is nothing more than a child's toy in the eyes of the bronze dragon.

Blake didn't look back, but he could feel the anger, unwillingness and helplessness of the dragon lady behind him.

He said in a tone that would not irritate the inexperienced young dragon lady as much as possible:

"Compared to a legendary dragon, I am just a dispensable little character. In order for me to survive being hunted by a giant dragon, I also made another small 'preparation'.

If you kill me here, the fate of Major Edras Blackmoore will also be changed. He is not an important node, but his fate is connected to Thrall.

Without his protection, Thrall would not have survived to adulthood!

Of course, you can solve this mess in a more crude way, but I also know some of the principles of the Bronze Dragon. You cannot change what has happened outside of important time nodes.

Once you cross the most basic principles of being a guardian of time and become a young dragon who abuses the power of time, you will cause more terrible trouble than what you are facing.

So, please take this as a small lesson, Miss Long.

I would like to remind you that next time before you come angrily to trouble me, you'd better confirm in advance that you can really win.

This is a sincere reminder.

If you have serious lack of work experience, you'd better stay away from me. This is just a small warning. Don't force me to really hurt you. You bronze dragons are indeed powerful.

But you are far from invincible. "

Behind Black, Sephiel in the form of a high elf had transformed into a giant bronze dragon in the earthy yellow light of flying sand and gravel. Its huge dragon eyes stared at Black Shaw below.

In the huge dragon kiss, there is a chilling sand dragon breath brewing.

It only takes one breath to turn this human being into ashes on the sands of time, but

It ultimately failed to do so.

Black is right, the bronze dragonflight has its own code.

Roughly using killing to solve everything is not allowed by the time walkers.

They perform a mission that requires extreme seriousness and exquisite thinking. The details that will be ignored will determine the success or failure of everything.

Just now and seven days ago, Blake taught it a lesson with practical actions.

"you win."

Sephiel's figure escaped into the flow of time, and the surrounding time was frozen in a rapid restart. Miss Long's tired voice echoed in Blake's ears, like a warning.

"I'll keep an eye on you, next time! It won't be so easy next time."

"next time?"

Blake chuckled and said in his heart:

"I'm still here now, which means you have tried countless times in the future, but still can't end my rebirth from the source. Do you want another one?

No!

Miss Long, I said, I have already won.

You won't have another chance! "

The pirate assassin turned his head and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He watched Sephiel disappear into the sandy time stream.

The look in the young dragon's eyes as he left with endless exhaustion told him that it would not just give up. It would always pay attention to Blake, like a lingering ghost.

But Blake didn't take the inexperienced dragon to heart.

on the one hand.

He has already found a way to deal with this young dragon, and his attempt on Thrall achieved almost perfect success. This kind of success achieved by creating a time paradox can be replicated.

On the other hand, tonight's confrontation is just a 'preview' of some kind of more dangerous attempt.

Bronze dragons are not really powerful and omnipotent.

Just like Blake warned Sephiel, there are too many things in this world that can kill the bronze dragon, and as far as Blake knows, there is that kind of hidden power in the land under his feet.

And there’s more than one.

If the young dragon is determined to interfere with Blake's life regardless of dissuasion, then the pirate will not mind teaching it another lesson.

Um.

Broken bones will be the best textbooks. In fact, if you can kill Sephiel here, his troubles will be much less. But the problem is that even the dragon scales cannot be broken with the weapon of Blade Fist.

What a headache.

But no matter what, from when the time freeze dissipated, Black Shaw was finally able to temporarily get rid of the threat from the bronze dragon Sephiel.

Have a good and comfortable life for a while.

——

In the Caverns of Time, a few hours later.

Sephiel, who flew back across the endless sea, did not waste time and contacted his good friend who was busy at another important time point.

"Chromie, I need to borrow your time and space permissions to go back seven days."

Sephiel in the form of an elf stood in front of a crimson light curtain that was constantly changing back and forth in the flow of time. It was the time gate leading to various world line nodes.

Only adult bronze dragons who have passed the trial of time on their own and joined the Quicksand Scale are eligible to use it.

And her request was quickly responded to.

Accompanied by a crisp laughter, a short space-time illusion appeared next to Sephiel. It was a dwarf dressed as a priest.

Wearing a pure white holy light robe, he held a white four-pointed star staff in his hand, which was twice as tall as the dwarf himself.

And this seemingly ordinary outfit actually has a big problem.

Because dwarfs are so smart, this race has been involved in engineering a long time ago. They are complete atheists and only believe in the power of technology.

This race can give birth to mages, warlocks, warriors, and thieves. They have almost unlimited development possibilities.

But it is impossible to give birth to a priest who needs the support of faith.

"What's going on? Little Sephiel."

The dwarf priest named Chromie asked in the clear, child-like voice unique to dwarfs:

"I'm a little busy now. Those troublemakers are coming to Stratholme to cause trouble again. They are trying to interfere with the dark destiny of Prince Arthas. I must fight them off.

So, if you want to play with me, you can go to me in the past or me in the future. "

"No, it's an emergency, Chromie."

Sephiel's expression was a little awkward.

It was hard to talk about what happened to her, but although Chromie was a nasty guy who bullied Sephiel since childhood, he was Sephiel's closest and most trusted person for help when he encountered problems.

She whispered to Chromie the problem she encountered.

The latter's expression also became serious.

"No, you shouldn't follow what the time remnant said. Seven days ago, you couldn't follow the steps he set for you. That might also be a trap!

If you want to solve a problem, you have to go to the source!

Sephiel, go to the waters of Khaz Modan!

Find the moment when Derek Proudmoore is reborn, and push him back to his destiny before he causes trouble! "

Chromie used a very experienced move against Sephiel.

The young dragon's eyes lit up, he nodded immediately and said:

"But I don't have permission."

"Use mine!"

The illusory figure of the dwarf priest became solid at this moment. Her body jumped from another time stream, temporarily putting aside Stratholme's troubles to help her good friend.

She waved her hand with only four fingers, and a burst of light like flying dust penetrated into the door of time in front of her, and the crimson light curtain quickly rotated.

Reflections of Khaz Modan's naval battle appeared before their eyes.

"Go!"

Chromie smiled slyly, swung his staff, and hit Sephiel's pert buttocks like a baseball. Amidst the exclamation of the young dragon, her whole body was pushed into the time vortex in front of her eyes.

Chromie is small despite his stature.

But she is an adult dragon, and she crushes Sephiel, a young dragon, in every aspect.

A few seconds later, a disgraced Sephiel escaped from the time vortex, looking as embarrassed as if he had been beaten up by a group of orcs.

She screamed to Chromie with her face covered in black and gray:

"Quick! Come help! My time node has collapsed!"

"What?"

Chromie, who was playing with a weird little ball out of boredom, immediately widened his eyes. This little white-haired dwarf with large twin tails that was tied up jumped up from the ground.

She shouted:

"What on earth did you do? To make an entire time point collapse?"

"I just followed what you said. When Derek Proudmoore was reborn, I pushed him back into the abyss, and then..."

Sephiel also looked confused.

She completely followed the instructions of her senior Chromie.

"Nope!"

Chromie's eyes widened, he gritted his teeth and stepped forward to rewind the time vortex to ten seconds ago. Then he waved his staff and said to Sephiel who was wiping his face:

"You stupid little dragon, you must have accidentally disturbed the timeline and triggered the butterfly effect. Stay here! Watch me perform for you."

After saying that, the little dwarf proudly raised his chest and stepped into the vortex.

Five seconds later.

Chromie, who looked embarrassed and had half of his robe burned off, also escaped from the time vortex that collapsed again with his face covered in black and gray. She stared at Sephiel.

explain:

“Things are not good.

It seems that Derek Proudmoore has extended a new time branch in your time node, which means that he will become as important a world line node as Thrall and Arthas in the future.

The moment he was reborn, his personal destiny was intertwined with the world line.

This is not a problem that you or I can handle.

We must report it to the Scales of Quicksand. "

"good."

Sephiel's claws are now numb.

Liu Shen Wu Zhu obeyed Chromie's arrangement, and the two bronze dragons transformed into dragon shapes and were about to go to the Quicksand Holy Land. However, the moment they took off, a storm of sand and dust suddenly rolled up.

Sometimes the power of time passes in a flash.

"Ah, it's the Lord of Time, him"

Amid Chromie's exclamation, the dust stopped for a moment.

Chromie and Sephiel were sent back a few minutes. The most terrifying thing was that the two bronze dragons were unaware of the changes in the time flow on their bodies.

"He said it was seven days ago?"

Chromie rubbed his chin, and the little dwarf rolled his lively eyes and said:

"Okay, let's go seven days ago. Remember not to be too rough and use some skills. You don't have to snatch the letter directly. We can't interfere with the history that has already happened.

But it's just a letter.

A ball of fire is enough to destroy it, or change the orc scout's action route to prevent him from hitting the time residue.

do you understand me?

Start with the details. As long as the world line generally remains unchanged, small flaws are tolerable. By the way, erase all the traces you left to avoid trouble in the future.

Don't ask why.

This is a secret that you, the young dragon, should not know yet. "

PS:

Everyone likes Chromie, who is hated by people and dragons, but unfortunately, stupid Blizzard made Chromie a transgender in the latest character book story.

When I heard the news, I almost threw up.

There is another chapter in the afternoon. The scheduled release setting was wrong yesterday. There were supposed to be two chapters yesterday. One chapter will be added today.
