Rise of the blood elves

519【The Pain of Crassus】

Angmar hurriedly took two steps forward and leaned over to lift up Krasus, while Ronin helped him back to the bed.

After sitting down, Crassus kept hunching over, covering his head and groaning in pain, his face extremely pale.

Luo Ning kept patting his back gently with his hands, and while patting him, he asked Angmar: "What happened to him?"

Angmar organized his language and explained:

"According to my speculation, Master Krasus has experienced the ancient war, and he has complete memories of this period of history. But now that we are personally involved in it, no matter what, we will more or less change it, cover, or replace the original There is ancient history. As a result, Master Krasus's 'memory' of the ancient war will be inconsistent with the original, and will become confused and disordered. Whenever he tries to recall this memory, he will suffer corresponding pain. .”

The timeline is a very complicated issue, and Angmar is far from understanding its secrets. He can only tell what he has always thought to be a reasonable guess.

After that, he whispered to Crassus: "Master Crassus, if you try not to recall the memories of ancient times, you should feel better."

Luo Ning thought for a moment and quickly understood what Angmar meant, frowned and said:

"According to you, the timeline is a whole. It is not separated from the future we come from. In other words, according to this... Well, let's name it the 'Timeline Unification Principle'... According to this There is a law that no matter what we do in ancient times, it will have an impact on the world in the future, right?"

"Yes."

"So," Luo Ning glanced at Krasus, who was suffering from a headache, "The reason why I didn't have the same symptoms is because I don't know anything about the specific process of the ancient war... Wait!"

Luo Ning suddenly stopped talking, thought for a while, and then said, "Do you know what I was thinking just now?"

Angmar blinked.

"I'm recalling the ending of the Ancient War." Luo Ning seemed to have grasped the key to the problem.

Angmar motioned for Ronin to continue. He was curious about what this legendary mage thought of.

He knew that, like most mages and scholars who were keen on studying the history of ancient arcana, although Luo Ning did not know the specific process of the ancient war, he was very clear about its ending that led to the fragmentation of the ancient continent of Kalimdor. of.

People often believe that humans, a short-lived race, only showed a relatively unified society 800 years ago, and their understanding of the world is not that good.

But the fact is exactly the opposite. They evolved from the Iron Vrykul, a Titan creation cursed with flesh and blood. Although the ancient traditions have long been lost, many ancient secrets have been passed down through epics and legends. .

Such as the legend of Tyr the Guardian and his Silver Hand. The word "Silver Hand" has become a symbolic meaning, symbolizing noble sacrifice and noble belief. The Paladin organization formed by Archbishop Alonsos Faol is named after it.

There are many such legends. Although most of them are regarded as mythical legends, as long as you are willing, you can always find clues about the ancient times and even the sequenced period.

This kind of thing is what scholars who are eager to pursue the truth love to do.

In addition, the high elves of Quel'Thalas also played a major role in humans being able to establish an accurate understanding of the ancient times.The ancestors of the high elves had personally experienced this magnificent history. As the two sides became friendly, relevant historical materials were gradually obtained by Dalaran and then spread to the other six nations.

"If your speculation about why Krasus suffered from memory impairment is correct," Ronin stood up and started pacing in the room, "then when I recalled the ending of the War of the Ancients, not only did I not have the same symptoms, my memory also changed. It’s extremely clear. Does this mean we haven’t changed the ending? Well, let’s make further assumptions. If the person who experienced the original timeline..."

Ronin spread his hand towards Krasus.

“…the memory confusion and the memory pain caused by insanity when recalling this history are related to the extent to which the relevant history has been changed. The greater the change, the greater the pain experienced when recalling. In this way, we Can we use this 'pain phenomenon' to detect in advance the history we are about to change?"

Ronin stopped and looked at Angmar, his eyes shining with a different kind of light.

After hearing this, Angmar couldn't help but shake his head with emotion.

The red hair, burly figure, and slovenly style all make Luo Ning far from the image of a mage in the public eye, but the reality is exactly the opposite.Luo Ning was not only thoughtful, but also thought of more possibilities through Angmar's few words.

It's not unreasonable for him to become a legendary mage.

Angmar nodded, "Master Luo Ning, you are right. But there is a premise for all this, that is, Master Krasus must find a way to avoid pain and accurately express the already confused memory... The former is not Difficult, but the latter is obviously unlikely.”

After hearing this, Luo Ning thought for a few seconds and sighed: "Indeed."

While the two were communicating, Krasus suddenly stood up with gritted teeth and staggered towards the outside of the house.

"Where are you going?" Luo Ning hurriedly stopped him.

Mage is based on spiritual power, and spiritual power is directly related to the amount of arcane energy that can be controlled.As a mage, no one is more aware of how terrible the pain caused by "memory disorder" is.

Krasus looked like he was still suffering from unimaginable pain, and he was probably unconscious. Of course, Ronin wanted to stop him.At the same time, it is also a little strange. Even ordinary mages can clear their minds and stop memories. Krasus is a red dragon with a long life, and he has been immersed in the arcane magic for many years. There is no reason why he can't do it. What is so important about it? Can't let it go?

"Let me go!" Krasus pushed Ronin away roughly, and he himself lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground.

Ronin was pushed and staggered, looking at Krasus in surprise.In his impression, Krasus has always been calm and calm, and he has never been so out of his mind like today.

On the floor, Crassus tried his best to stand up, but his legs refused to obey him. The severe headache seemed to make him lose control of his body.Finally, with his eyes red, he simply crawled out a little bit, gouging holes on the hard floor.

Although the incarnation spell does not inherit 100% of the power of the original body, he is still a red dragon after all.It's not too easy to get out by grabbing a few holes in the ground.

"Holy light is above!"

Looking at Krasus with red eyes, Luo Ning was anxious. He felt that Krasus might have been tortured by the pain and lost his mind. While weaving a hypnotic spell with a calming effect, he knelt down to hug Krasus. At the same time, he cast a pleading look at Angmar, "Help me get him back to bed."

Angmar sighed deeply, he knew why Krasus was like this.

The two worked together to lift Krasus back to the bed, and Ronin cast a hypnotic spell, but it was completely ineffective on Krasus.The other party screamed "let me go" while trying to escape from the grip of the two and leave the hut.

"Dragon Soul...can't let it be completed...I must go and warn her...let me go, let me go!"

Krasus's roar resounded through the western suburbs like a dragon's roar, frightening countless birds in the forest. If they didn't know his identity, outsiders would never believe that the thin Krasus had such a loud voice.

In the end, Angmar had no choice but to use magic to forcibly imprison Krasus.The latter immediately leaned on the bed and became motionless.

Seeing this, Luo Ning let out a long breath. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and glanced at Angmar. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Confining a powerful red dragon? Phew, you once again opened my eyes. Having said that, who is he? What's wrong? Did he just say Demon's Soul?"

The Dragon Soul is what the five-color dragon clan called it at the beginning of creation.Among mortals, it is known as the "Demon Soul".

Angmar nodded silently, walked to Krasus and sat down, "Master Ronin, the Demon Soul was forged during the War of the Ancients."

Luo Ning was speechless, and the look he looked at Krasus suddenly became complicated, with sympathy, pity, and more helplessness.

"It turned out to be cast at this time, no wonder, alas."

The Dragon Soul symbolizes the fall of Neltharion, the guardian of the earth.After the casting was completed, when the five-color dragon clan, led by Neltharion, who held this artifact, arrived in Zin Aessaleen to participate in the war against the Burning Legion, Neltharion turned it against his former compatriots. Want them to surrender to themselves...

No one in the Dragon Clan present could believe the scene in front of them.Malygos, the magical guardian of the Blue Dragon King, tried to use magic to save his mentally disturbed friend, but was attacked by Neltharion.

The dragon soul, which absorbed the essence and power of all five-color dragon clan members, was so powerful that it killed most of the blue dragons with just one blow, almost completely exterminating them. Even Malygos was seriously injured. .

In the end, Deathwing's body cracked because he could not bear the majestic power contained in the Dragon Soul, and he had to stop his crazy behavior and leave the battlefield.Only painful memories were left for our former compatriots.

From that day on, Neltharion became Deathwing.The dragon soul that was originally used to end this catastrophe and protect Azeroth also turned into a terrifying demon soul... In the end, at the end of the war, Malfurion used a clever trick to capture the demon soul. Soul, using the power of the artifact to close the Burning Legion's portal.In the end, the dragon kings sealed the artifact with a secret method so that Deathwing could no longer use it for evil, and hid it where no one could find it.

Thinking of this, Luo Ning couldn't help but shook his head and rubbed his brow tiredly.

Despite all their calculations, the dragons never expected that the Demon Soul would eventually be found by Deathwing.Deathwing was unable to use it, but secretly guided the orcs who invaded Azeroth, and used the Demon Soul to enslave Alexstrasza, the Red Dragon Queen.

The noble red dragon queen was forced to mate every day and give birth to dragon eggs, which were hatched and used by the old tribe as war beasts.

That is...

Alexstrasza, who was deeply loved by Krasus, countless young dragons, under the inhumane taming of the Dragonmaw clan, turned into war machines that only knew killing, and were contrary to the noble creed of the red dragon to protect life... …

But now, there is an opportunity to rewrite all of this. Now that the Demon Soul has not yet been completed, as long as he warns his compatriots, not only can he expose Neltharion's corruption and lies, but he can also save the blue dragon and his beloved spouse...

How could Crassus remain sane?

Luo Ning didn't dare to think about what would happen to him if it were him, if the same thing happened to Vereesa.

He glanced at Crassus, who had a blank look in his eyes.

I am afraid……

He would be even more irrational than Crassus. It should be said that no one can be rational.

"Master Krasus, Nozdormu sent you and Master Ronin back to ancient times not to change history, but to eliminate disturbing factors and restore it to its original appearance. If the history related to Deathwing is changed, by The chaos caused by this will be magnified to the extreme in a long historical span of 1 years, and the main timeline of our existence and everything we know will be shattered. You can't help but understand this."

On the other side, Angmar, who was sitting next to Krasus, persuaded him earnestly.

Leaning against the wall, Krasus stared straight at the night sky outside the window, as if recalling the scenes he had spent day and night with Alexstrasza. After a long time, he finally closed his eyes in pain.

Upon seeing this, Angmar released the opponent's confinement spell. This time, Krasus did not try to leave again.

"If you are willing, I can forcefully hypnotize you and put you into a deep sleep. This will help calm...the grief." Angmar said softly.

"No need," Krasus lowered his eyelids and forced a smile, "I will be fine."

Seeing that he had returned to his usual self, Luo Ning felt relieved. He sat down on the bed, held Krasus's shoulders and shook them gently. He turned around and asked, "Angmar, Were you also sent back by Nozdormu?"

Angmar walked to the table and poured a glass of water for the two of them. After handing it to them, he returned to the table.He gently supported himself with his hands and sat on it.

"That's a long story."
