After solving Jaina's problem, when the sun rose over the ocean east of Theramore, Arthas had already bid farewell to Jaina and headed towards the Caverns of Time.
Jaina also left Theramore again to do the things she still wanted to do. Without the constraints of Theramore and Dalaran, she finally had her own free time to do something she had not done before. Missed things.
As for Alsace's departure from Theramore this time, he still chose to take the sea route. Starting from the coast of Theramore and rushing all the way from the South China Sea to the Cave of Time is the fastest way.
When the sun was about to go down again, Alsace finally saw the mountain range where the Cave of Time belongs, and there, a small figure had been waiting for a long time.
"Ah! Alsace, you're finally here!" Chromie was standing on the shore, playing with the sand with her feet in boredom. When she saw Alsace's figure, she jumped up excitedly, "Thank God, in You are finally willing to come before something bigger happens."
"Fate has its own destiny, Chromie, you know, you don't need to tell me this, I still know your bronze dragon quite well." Arthas got off Invincible and said something unkindly, but this time it was indeed It was his fault first.
"But it's indeed my fault. At least I shouldn't have touched that bottle of bronze dragon essence in Elrethalas."
Chromie looked strange after hearing Arthas' words. She waved her hand, "Actually, we bronze dragons have known about that thing for a long time - about five thousand years after the destruction of Elrethalas, Crono Si's hidden magic circle will be ineffective."
"Huh? Then why don't you take that thing back." Arthas didn't expect to get such a reply from Chromie. He frowned for a moment, unable to figure out the reason.
Chromie just shook his head and smoothed the pattern drawn on the ground with his foot, "That was an order given by His Majesty Nozdormu himself."
An order given by Nozdormu himself?
The fog in Arthas's heart was even worse. The dragons were probably the race that valued the place of death the most. Before they died of old age or illness, they would fly to the Dragonblight of Northrend to end their lives there.
And since the bronze dragons had already discovered the whereabouts of the missing young dragon, they should have returned it to the Dragonbone Wilds long ago instead of letting it rot in the laboratory of an elf mage.
The madness of Malygos, King of the Blue Dragons, is related to his failure to recover the bones of his consort Sindragosa. The dragons pay more attention to this custom than other races. Arthas can't understand this. The specific reason for the practice.
But since Nozdormu, who controls time, gave the order himself, he must have foreseen something from this "mortal masterpiece", perhaps a twist of fate, perhaps a revelation from the gods.
Arthas didn't know, nor was he curious, because his main task now was to return to his own world, where there were still many things waiting for him to do.
Just as Arthas was thinking about the problem, Chromie turned to him and said, "By the way, His Majesty Nozdormu wants to summon you, let's hurry up."
"What?"
…
Before Arthas had time to think about it, Chromie, who had turned back into a bronze dragon, was carried into the Caverns of Time.
This dragon's lair hidden in the Tanaris Desert is actually the intersection of various times. From here, the bronze dragons set out to find the true destiny of Azeroth in the web woven by endless time.
Due to the special existence of the Caverns of Time, here you can see all the creatures and buildings frozen in time from the origin of Azeroth to the rise of mankind.
Here is a realistic history book, a witness to Azeroth's creation from scratch and its decline to prosperity.
Bronze dragons kept flying past Alsace. The dragons stared at Alsace curiously for a while, not sure whether they were curious about his identity or about his future.
"How long until we get there?"
In the Cave of Time, the passage of time became very strange, and Arthas could not accurately feel the passage of time. He just felt as if he had been sitting on Chromie's back for a long time.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine in a while. You think it's taking a long time because you haven't adapted to the chaotic time in the Cave of Time and can't find your place. But I think with your ability to adapt, it should be fine in a while."
Now that Chromie had said so, Arthas had no choice but to calm down and find his place in the chaotic timeline so that he would not be confused by the chaos of time.
Gradually, when Arthas finally returned to normal again, Chromie also stopped.
"We're here - look, I said soon."
After putting Arthas down, Chromie returned to her dwarf appearance. She patted her robe, leaned towards Arthas and raised her hand to guide him, "Please come here, His Majesty Nozdormu has already arrived." Been waiting for a long time.”
Arthas did not hesitate or hesitate, and walked towards the light door pointed by Chromie.
After entering the light gate, Alsace felt his eyes blurred, and the whole world suddenly became brighter, no longer as dim as before in the Cave of Time.
Taking a closer look, isn't this just a corner of the Tanaris Desert?
"You are finally here, traveler from outside time."
A void and overlapping bass sounded in front of Alsace. After the space was distorted, Alsace saw a tall man who looked like a high elf walking out of the void.
He was dressed in gorgeous and complicated clothing, with the sands of time flowing on his shoulders as if they would never stop, and mysterious runes flowing from time to time on his strong, wheat-colored skin.
The appearance of this mysterious man put tremendous pressure on Alsace, causing Alsace to unconsciously release the power of Holy Light and Death in his body to fight.
Obviously, the identity of the man in front of him needs no introduction. He is the Lord of Time, the Bronze Dragon King Nozdormu.
Arthas was silent for a while, and then said in a deep voice, "The guardian dragon is looking for me. What's the matter?"
Nozdormu, who looked like a high elf, smiled slightly and said, "Prince from Lordaeron, a traveler outside of time, you don't have to be nervous. I don't have any ill intentions. I came to you because I just wanted to meet you."
Nozdormu's body was floating in the air and did not fall on the ground. "You should have many questions now. Please come with me. I will show you something, which may answer your questions."
Arthas did not answer directly, but tried to see if he could contact Frostmourne and Ashbringer. After discovering that these two weapons were not shielded, he nodded slightly and followed Nozdormu into another environment. .
This place was different from the vast white Tanaris Desert. They walked directly to the depths of the starry sky, on top of the remains of a damaged planet.
