It was already night in Silver Moon City, and little Annie was walking towards the largest magic tower in the middle of the city.
Because she had promised Sister Sylvanas that before leaving Quel'Thalas, she would help the high elves one last time and try to defend against those stinking undead armies!
Moreover, their high elves had just sent the authority key to the largest mage tower, so after dinner, out of curiosity, Anne decided to go and have a look inside which mage tower to get familiar with!
Walking on the somewhat deserted streets of Silver Moon City, there were orange magic street lights a few meters apart on both sides of the street. The soft, golden and quiet light illuminated the entire city like a dream. What surprised little Annie was that on this planet, There are actually two moons hanging in the night sky. The larger one is milky white, and the smaller one is mysterious blue. It is very magical! Because Anne could feel some strange magic from them.
But Anne didn't care much about these. What she was more interested in now was that when she walked through the Royal Garden Market in the middle of the city, she discovered that there was a human being sitting on a wooden bench in the garden holding a long staff. Little brat?
If it were somewhere else, Anne would never express any surprise at all! But this is said to be the capital of the high elves. Apart from the elves and myself, there seems to be no other races here! So, what's going on with this little brat?
More importantly, after Anne's observation, she also discovered that other passing elves seemed to be unable to spot this human child! So, this situation is very interesting! Annie suddenly felt that she seemed to have discovered something extraordinary, and she decided to sneak up to investigate. As for getting familiar with the Mage Tower, she had forgotten about it now!
…
"Alas...! Why is it like this? Why is it like this? This is very inappropriate..."
Chromie was sitting dejectedly on a wooden bench in the Elf Garden. She was very distressed now! Very distressed!
She originally just took the time to find a place to take a nap, but she never imagined that after she woke up, she suddenly discovered that the timeline she was in had undergone drastic changes!
If it were on the original timeline, the current natural disaster of the undead would have started from the Land of Ghosts and moved northward, destroying Silvermoon City and killing most of the elves, and then continued to pollute the Sunwell and resurrect Ke Er'Thuzad, he just patted his ass and left in the end!
But now? Take a look! The traces of death were all deflected by them!
Their undead souls actually ran to the Western Temple to cross the sea, and then went to the Island of Quel'Danas after transferring from Sunchaser Island!
At this time, the fierce fighting on the island of Quel'Danas has probably just begun, right? Taking down the Sunwell and resurrecting Kel'Thuzad probably takes place tomorrow morning!
Look, not only is the marching route wrong, but the time is also greatly deviated! Could it be that one of the leaders of the natural disaster was reborn through time travel? And then he went astray like that? But she, Chromie, just ran to the undead army to check, and it seemed that there was no big problem! That death knight only lost one horse, which is still within the tolerable range!
Looking at the huge fire scene south of Silvermoon City that was barely extinguished, Chromie was even more puzzled! The elven mages have all gone to the island of Quel'Danas. So, who started this fire? Could it be some secret magic weapon of the elves? But she, Chromie, has never been seen in other timelines...
If the above changes are still tolerable fluctuations within the normal range on the timeline, then there is something more serious now: the most, most... most critical Sylvanas? Windrunner! she! She is not dead yet! That's right! She just isn't dead!
When Chromie learned that the high elf ranger general was not only alive, but was still alive and presiding over the defense of Silvermoon City, preparing to confront the Scourge, Chromie was instantly confused!
How could Sylvanas Windrunner not die?
How could she not be dead?
She must die!
If she does not die, then when the death knight Arthas returns to Northrend to become the Evil King, who will rule the Forsaken? She is the destined queen of the forgotten!
Without a force as big as the Forgotten, who will take advantage of the Scourge of the Undead? Who will confront the undead Scourge left in Lordaeron? Who will lead the blood elves who are on the verge of extinction to join the tribe? Who will be the Nth tribal chief?
This is all a mess! Why didn't she die? She must die! If she hadn't been a bronze dragon and couldn't directly intervene in the timeline at will, Chromie would have wanted to kill her directly!
However, if these things alone are not a big deal, they are not worth Chromie's trouble! After all, there are too many variables in the long river of time. It is normal for one or two timelines to have abnormalities. In a certain timeline, there is also the incident where the Burning Legion directly destroyed Azeroth!
There are infinite timelines in the long river of time, and there are so many variables!
For example, Chromie once saw that in a certain timeline, Prince Alsace suddenly had a seizure. He saw the Divine Sword right in front of him, but he didn't want to pull out the Frostmourne. So it inexplicably disrupted the Lich King's plan, causing the Burning Legion to delay its second coming for many years!
For another example, in another timeline, when in Stratholme, a young prince suddenly felt that women seemed to be much more important than the people. Under Jaina's pillow wind, his ears softened. , so he suddenly didn’t want to massacre the city, and almost made the Dread Demon King angry to death!
Finally, Chromie even saw that in a remote timeline, in a gladiatorial arena, Varian was inexplicably stabbed to death by something without eyes...
…
Therefore, people's hearts are very complicated, and variables are always present in the timeline! No one can predict what will happen next moment!
She, Chromie, had seen a lot of these anomalies over the course of time! She has long been used to it! It's just that she prefers to select the most suitable and best results from infinite timelines, and then slowly guide them, just like her current one!
But! Now the most distressing thing happened to her in this timeline: during the day today, she discovered that in this timeline, she could no longer see the past, let alone the future!
This timeline seems to be locked! It seems to be locked tightly by some different time rules! She, Chromie, is now trapped in this timeline!
Although she can still see the past and future of other timelines, she can no longer get out of this timeline, and similarly, other bronze dragons can't get in! This has never happened before!
It is precisely because of this that Chromie rushed to Quel'Thalas and Silvermoon City as soon as he discovered the anomaly! After all, if it can cause such a big change, the problem must be on the battlefield of Quel'Thalas!
When she came here, she found a lot of things that were wrong. The problem was indeed with the high elves! But she had no idea how to start! After all, this timeline is locked, and she has lost the ability to travel through time and space, guide or change the direction of the timeline!
She doesn't even know what to do now! Even if you want to ask the Bronze Dragon King about the situation, it won’t work! Because their Dragon King is not in this timeline at all, and she can't get out, so where can she find him? Therefore, Chromie can only sit in the elf park in distress and sigh.
…
"Hey! Little sister, what are you doing here?"
While Chromie was staring at her own feet dejectedly, Anne suddenly stood in front of her and asked.
From Annie's point of view, this little human kid is really weird. She had just been eavesdropping for a long time and found out that this little kid has been mumbling about immortality. Could it be that someone in her family was killed by the undead? Bite to death? How pitiful! Anne decided to go up and comfort herself.
"Eh? You, how could you see me?!" Chromie suddenly found a pair of small feet standing in front of her and asked her a question. She was so frightened that she quickly raised her head.
She remembered that she had cast the invisibility spell herself! And that’s not just an ordinary invisibility spell! That is a super invisibility technique that uses the talent of the bronze dragon to hide itself in the cracks of time!
For example, it is now 21:00:01 in the evening, and then Chromie casts a spell to directly slow down his time a little bit, hiding himself at 21:00, 0:999 in the evening... ..nine seconds!
She moved her existence to the past just a tiny bit, but if she slowed it down just a tiny bit, she no longer existed at this moment!
In this way, even if Chromie is standing in front of you, she does not exist here in this second of your life! Then, you will never be able to see her or hurt her! Of course, she can't hurt you!
Because, in such a tiny difference of one second, she doesn't exist in your current world at all. Doesn't it sound amazing? This is the talent of the bronze dragon! The dragon playing with time! Divine power given by Titan!
But what about now? What's going on with this little human girl who is standing in front of her in the golden light of the streetlight, holding a ferocious teddy bear in her hand, looking at her curiously?
How could she possibly see herself? This is impossible! This thing was even more difficult for her to accept than Sylvanas who was still alive and well. This was very unmagical!
Perhaps because he had received too many blows during the day, Chromie was a little sluggish now. He just stared up at Anne's half-smiling face and those round and small ears. I don't know why, Chromie always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out for a while!
"Hey~! Are you mute? You can actually speak!"
When Annie saw that the other party ignored her and just looked at her with wide eyes, she couldn't help but reach out and pinch the other party's little face hard!
ha! You feel a sense of accomplishment when you bully a kid who is younger or shorter than you! After seeing that the little kid still didn't respond, Annie thought for a moment, stretched out her hand again, and continued to pinch the other person's little face hard.
"Wow! It hurts! You! How can a human like you see me? Huh? Wait! Ears...? Human...? Human!!!"
Chromie finally reacted, and she finally discovered what was wrong! The little girl in front of me can not only see herself, but more importantly: this little girl is actually a human being! At this period, at this point in time, there should be no humans in Silvermoon City!
That's right! Absolutely right! This little human girl is probably the culprit that caused the abnormality in the timeline! It's probably because of her chaos that the damn elves in this timeline didn't die, the undead's march route became crooked, and this timeline was locked. In the end, it also caused Her great Chromie was trapped in this timeline!
"Who are you anyway? Why are you here?"
After finally finding the culprit, Chromie quickly jumped down from the chair, then held the staff that was much taller than her height in both hands and looked at the other person with full vigilance.
"Me? My name is Annie! What's your name, little sister?" Annie didn't understand why this little kid reacted so violently. Didn't he just pinch her cheek twice? Does she still want to hit someone with a stick?
"My name is Chromie, I'm not a little sister...Wait! This is not important! Eh? You are actually a...demigod? That's right! You must have destroyed the timeline!"
After discovering the other party's true strength, Chromie was finally convinced that this person was the culprit! No matter which timeline, this human demigod definitely does not exist! That's her! It must be her! She is a foreign object in this timeline!
"What line? I don't understand what you are saying. You little brat looks weird, forget it! I won't play with you anymore, I want to go back!"
Seeing this little kid holding a stick and wanting to fight, Annie decided not to play with her! Are all the little brats these days so mean? Didn't he just pinch her cheek twice?
"Stop! Don't even think about leaving until you make it clear!" Seeing Annie turn around and leave, Chromie became anxious and quickly flashed in front of Annie, blocking her way.
"Eh? You're actually a mage? Oh! You want to fight, right?" Seeing this little kid flash in front of her, Annie noticed that this little kid turned out to be a powerful mage. ! Then, of course she can't give in! He quickly reached out and grabbed a fireball.
"Well……"
After looking at the opponent's strength and then comparing it with his own, Chromie suddenly felt that it was better to value peace! She is a peace-loving bronze dragon! Not as experienced as this little human girl!
"Forget it! I won't fight you! I only ask you one thing: Where are you from? A powerful and mysterious mage?" Chromie frowned and looked at each other. She has been to countless timelines, she can It is certain that this time is definitely the first time she has seen this little demigod girl!
"Me? I came from the Land of Fire before!" Annie scratched her head. She didn't understand why this little kid asked this.
"Fire Land? Don't try to lie to me! The Fire Land is full of fire elemental creatures! There is no human like you at all!"
Chromie looked like you were lying! She, Chromie, has seen bronze dragons in Azeroth that are 10,000 years old! How could she not know what was in the Land of Fire?
"Huh? You actually know about the Land of Fire? Oh! I understand! That's what you asked! So, I'm from Valoran! The land of voodoo in Valoran!" I was curious and the other party actually knew about the Land of Fire. Behind the scenes, Anne casually told her origins.
"Valoran? Sure enough! Is it another planet?" Chromie quickly thought about the orcs' Draenor, and then quickly asked again:
"Why do you want to mess with the timeline? That's fine, but why do you still abuse the treasures of the time rules? Don't you know that this will have serious consequences? This timeline has been locked by you!"
Chromie looked at the power of time still wrapped around the opponent's body, and she quickly realized that it must be the result of the opponent's misuse of time treasures! It should be something similar to their bronze dragon's time hourglass. No wonder she can see herself hidden in the cracks of time!
"Eh? You actually know that I have a treasure of time rules? This is really amazing! I keep it in my pocket all the time! By the way, timeline? What is that thing?"
Hearing the other party talking about the time treasure, Annie was very surprised and took out a necklace from her pocket with a green gem inlaid on it.
The function of this necklace is to control time. Little Annie stole it from the magician organization of Kama Taj before, oh! No! It's borrowed!
It is very convenient to use, whether it is forwarding, rewinding, or pausing time! During the day, she used the time-pause function to run out of the Land of Fire! She used the one-time fire elemental portal first! Anne felt that she was really a genius! Even this method can be thought of by her!
"Sure enough! This is a manifestation of the rules of time! Another artifact of time..." Chromie came over carefully, and she understood the specific function of the gem after just two glances. After all, their bronze dragons He is very sensitive to the power of time!
"After reading it, I'm going back! Goodbye, strange little sister!" Anne was afraid that the other party would snatch her things away, so she quickly took the necklace back, put it into her pocket, and then stretched out her hand to touch it. Touch the other person's head, and rub the other person's braid hard twice! Finally met someone shorter than me! ha! So fun!
"Ah? Little, little sister...? Huh! I'm not a little sister! I'm older than you!" Chromie saw Annie touching her head vigorously, and was stunned for a while before she woke up. Then he suddenly opened the other party's hand and retorted.
"No! Look! I'm taller than you! So you are the little sister!" Annie stepped forward and stood in front of Chromie to compare, but the opponent was not even as high as her chin!
"Damn it! Don't get too complacent! Let me tell you, the consequences of abusing the treasure of time are not very good! You may never grow taller! But... I'll wait until the next time I meet you to talk about this! Now I have to go back and check the information! See you soon!"
Seeing this little human girl talking about her height, Chromie almost exploded with anger!
Is she turning into a dwarf? How can you, a human, compare in height with a dwarf? Are you still shameless? However, now that she knew why the timeline was locked, she decided to quickly go back to the Cave of Time to see if there was any way to deal with this situation.
"Tch! What a weird little brat!"
After seeing the other party disappear after teleportation, little Annie didn't want to care about her anymore. Annie decided to go back to sleep first. As for the matter of the Mage Tower... Well mmmm, let's talk about it tomorrow!
