After getting the knowledge and experience that they urgently needed at the moment, Sarlayan and Valeera were quite happy at first, but the meaningful words of Prius before leaving suddenly ruined their good mood.
Looking at the place where the Prius disappeared, Valeera frowned and asked: "What he said...could it be that he has already seen that we are not from this era?"
Sarlayan's expression also became solemn: "That should be the case. Although this guy claims to have not done in-depth research on the power of time, he is still someone who has the relevant power."
"Perhaps he has already seen the abnormality in the flow of time from us."
Valeera asked in confusion: "In that case, why did he propose this deal to us? Could it be that he had other motives?"
Sarlayan said with deep eyes: "Two reasons."
"First, it's because the projection avatar named Prius cannot capture Visalia alone."
"You have witnessed the battle between Prius and Visalia before. From your point of view, if this battle continues to the end, which side will win?"
"Well..." Valeela lowered her head and thought for a moment: "It should be Visalia."
"Prius's three-point ax to open the door is really effective. His endless flashy powers catch the opponent off guard."
"But this is only because Visalia does not understand the Prius's fighting style. There is still a gap in hard power between the two sides. The longer time passes, the higher the chance of Prius' defeat will be."
"Not to mention that Ahn'Qiraj is still the home ground of the Ancient Gods. If we didn't check it from the side, the large number of insect soldiers alone would be enough to give Prius a headache. It would be almost impossible to get a one-on-one opportunity with Visalia.
impossible."
"That's it." Saryan spread his hands and said calmly: "We need the knowledge in Prius's hands, and he also needs our help to take down Visalia. This deal is essentially just about each getting what he needs.
.”
"but……"
Judging from Valeela's troubled expression, she still has some issues with her choice of Prius.
"I can understand what you're thinking."
Sarlayan said calmly: "You want to ask, when the position of the enemy and ourselves is still unclear, why did the Prius... or the commander of the army make such a choice that might endanger the enemy?"
"The answer is simple. We are still too weak now."
Sarlayan looked up at the endless desert outside the cave, and the expression on his face became a little gloomy: "Maybe it was your time with the Prius that gave you a kind of thinking inertia."
"Don't forget, the warrior master is one of the few true god-level elders in the entire material universe, and he is also the leader among them. Do you think...with our current strength, we can threaten him?"
Valeera shook her head depressedly: "I understand what you mean. Let alone now, even if we fully understand the knowledge given by the war master, it is still impossible to defeat him."
"So." Sarlayan quickly regained his composure and patted the little squirrel on the head with a smile: "In the eyes of the commander, the two of us who come from the future will at least be among the tens of thousands of people in the future.
It is impossible to threaten him within the year."
"In this case, why not forge a good relationship in advance and wait for the seeds to blossom and bear fruit in the distant future? When you are away from home, it is better to have more friends than enemies."
Valeela sighed helplessly: "I understand, I have one last question."
Valeera asked Sarlayan with a particularly solemn expression: "Do you think we will be in opposition to the leader of the army in the future?"
"have no idea."
Sarlayan shrugged his shoulders honestly and said: "Based on the information we have at this stage, there is no sign that the war master will be hostile to Azeroth for the time being, but... who can say for sure what will happen in the future?"
"After all, people's ideas will change as time goes by."
…
Just as Prius, Sharlayan and Valeela expected, after their consciousness returned to the Holy City of Ahn'Qiraj, C'Thun, who had just defeated and was already depressed, became furious as expected.
Under the direct orders of the Thousand-Eyed Demon, the chaos in the city was quickly alleviated.
A large number of insect guards began to search every corner of the city, and C'Thun was furious and released a large number of compound eyes to help the guards sweep around.
But at this time, Sharlayan and Valeera had already withdrawn from the city of Ahn'Qiraj, restarted the transformation spell, and accelerated their evacuation to the north of C'Thun's territory.
On the way back to Pandaria, the two of them passed by the army of Titan creations that continued to advance.
Sarlayan also has some understanding of Odin's temper. The guy is an extreme egoist who doesn't care about the sand in his eyes.
In the eyes of Odin at this time, all creatures other than Titan creations were worthless garbage, and Sarlayan did not want to put his hot face on his cold ass.
Standing on the top of the mountain to watch Odin from a distance, Thorim and Hodir led the army towards the city of Ahn'Qiraj. Sarlayan and Valeela turned around without hesitation and continued on their way, without letting Odin and others
Discover their whereabouts.
After all, the Titan Guardians are creatures of order, and they are always accustomed to building while advancing.
As long as the land occupied by Titan creations usually does not pose any major threats.
Following the gradually greening land, Sarlayan and Valeela successfully returned to the gate of the Eternal Blossom Valley Palace guarded by Mimiron.
Mimiron, who was still holding pliers and a wrench in his hand, came to greet him outside the underground palace in person. Through the two people's detailed descriptions, he roughly learned about the series of changes that had occurred in Ahn'Qiraj City.
In order to avoid unnecessary complications, Sarlayan did not tell Mimiron the true identity of Prius, but casually mentioned that he was a visitor from the Shadow Realm.
After recovering the first version of the portable communication device from Sarlayan and Valeela, Mimiron quickly returned to the laboratory, and he planned to make the second version of the experimental product in a hurry.
Sarlayan and Valeera were unsure whether they could wait until Mimiron's second version of the portable communication device was developed.
After bidding farewell to Mimiron, the two came to the main node of the magic network where Sarlayan had previously set up the barrier himself.
While they were away, Mimiron arranged for the mechanical gnomes to build a technologically unique cabin near the Magic Network node.
This relatively simple hut just happens to cover the enchantment pattern on the ground to avoid being discovered during the next Mantid attack.
Mimiron does not intend to stop here. He will further strengthen the defense of this hut and its surroundings in the future.
But this is not what Sarlayan and Valeera need to consider now. Their first priority at the moment is...retreat for meditation.
Under the protection of a large number of mechanical gnomes sent by Mimiron, the two of them entered the hut and immediately entered the death chamber.
The knowledge and experience that Prius gave to the two of them as a reward for the transaction were not manipulated in any way, which further corroborated Sarlayan's previous speculation about the attitude of the soldier master.
After a long period of painstaking study, Sarlayan was already stuck on the edge of formally understanding the power of time. This experience and knowledge from the war master just made up for the missing part in his discussion with the barrage.
On the fifth day after entering the seclusion state, Sarlayan successfully integrated the fragments of time and sand, officially activating the bronze dragon genes hidden in his body, and mastered the most superficial power of time.
However, if he wants to stably open the time passage back to his hometown, Issalayan's current understanding is obviously not enough.
Therefore, Sarlayan was not busy leaving the border.
Valeela's progress was faster than that of Sharlayan. She had already understood the branch of space power - phase travel. Following the leader's thoughts, she quickly understood the complete space power by analogy.
However, similar to Sharlayan's situation, Valeela also needs a period of time to accumulate before she can skillfully use the powers she just acquired.
Sarlayan and Valeela, who devoted themselves wholeheartedly to their cultivation, completely lost the concept of the speed of time passing.
From the perspective of the barrage, the screen only went black for a moment, before Sarlayan opened the door of the "hut" and bathed in the sunshine again.
However, it can be seen from the changes around this originally very simple hut that Sarlayan and Valeera have been in seclusion for a long time.
"Well"
Having just left the state of full emotional realization and came outside, Sarlayan's mind was still a little hard to wrap his head around.
"...Have I returned to the original timeline?"
The Vale of Eternal Blossoms before Sharlayan retreat had just experienced the ravages of the Mantid, and it was a complete scene of a doomsday wasteland.
But what was presented to him at this moment was a majestic scenery that was familiar but paradoxical. For a moment, Sarlayan thought that he had unknowingly returned tens of thousands of years in the future.
