Chapter 124 Sarean: What bullshit prophecy? My fate is up to me!
A grumpy old man with a straight temper like Sarlayan has never believed in prophecies. He prefers to believe in his own hands and rely on his own strength to make his way.
But I have to admit that although the principle is unclear for the time being, in the land of Azeroth, the prophecy does indeed exist.
A typical example is Zul, the prophet of Zandalari. He once predicted many things that would only happen a few years later. Some of the predictions were even accurate to specific details, which made the god-king Ra who thought he was tolerant.
Staha felt horrified.
Fortunately, Zul's prophecy does not come true every time, otherwise the fearful Rastakhan would have chopped him off long ago.
This kind of evildoer who speaks and follows the rules is not allowed to be cut off to celebrate the New Year? Who knows when he will have the idea of usurping the throne.
The barrage gave some explanations for the so-called predictions that I don’t know whether they are correct or not.
[There is a world line in Azeroth. These so-called prophets probably happened to see what had happened in other world lines due to some unexpected factors. 】
Sarlayan: "World line? What do you mean?"
[In popular terms, it is a parallel world.]
[The world view of the parallel world is exactly the same as that of the main world, but due to different choices at certain specific time nodes, many different futures have been derived. 】
[The theory of time in Azeroth has always been very confusing. The bronze dragon among the five guardian dragon clans is the guardian of time. Its main responsibility is to straighten out the countless parallel world lines in Azeroth and prevent them from affecting the normal development of the main world.
】
[…I thought the Bronze Dragon was specifically designed to catch time travellers, sorry! I was misled by the novel.]
[How is it possible that there are still few time-travelers in Azeroth? If we really want to capture time-travelers, the orcs and draenei would be the first choices.]
[Under normal circumstances, the bronze dragon guards the present, not the past and future. 】
[They will not interfere at will with things that have not yet happened in the main world line, because these are all things born from the normal evolution of the world. 】
[If the bronze dragon really likes to hold on to travelers as you have seen in the novel, Sarlayan, a ‘foreign object’ that does not exist in the first place, would have already aroused their vigilance. 】
[However, in fact, during the Battle of Grim Batol, the Bronze Dragon King Nozdormu did not show any strangeness to him. This shows that Sarlayan, the 'singularity' in our eyes, is not in the real Azeroth.
This exists reasonably.]
[Uh~ My mind is a little dizzy, so what’s the conclusion? Shalayan won’t be crazily targeted by the bronze dragon like the protagonist in the novel? 】
【At least that's the case so far.】
[But one thing I am sure of is that Nozdormu has noticed Sarlayan's existence through the Battle of Grim Batol, which is different from other world lines, but he has not taken any action. 】
'Um……'
Sarlayan was also a little confused by this world line theory.
"In short, the so-called prophecy is to glimpse what has happened in other parallel worlds in some way, right?"
[Yes, so there is no need to believe too much in these so-called prophecies.]
[The Bronze Dragon is still doing its job conscientiously. What happened in other branch world lines cannot have any impact on the main world, and those so-called established events may not necessarily happen as usual. 】
Under the guidance of the barrage, Sarlayan finally figured it out.
Prophecies from other world lines can be used as a reference, but they cannot be completely believed.
In the final analysis, how the main world will develop in the future still depends on the choices of the people living in this world.
After coming back to his senses, Sarlayan found that there was a strange look in Dailin's eyes as he looked at him.
Sarlayan: "...Let me tell you first, even if I am really the son of the dragon in this prophecy, please don't take it too seriously."
"The future is not set in stone. I don't think predictions alone can accurately predict everything that has yet to happen."
Sarlayan's still calm attitude and words made Dai Lin stunned for a moment. He did not expect that the person involved in the prophecy would have such an attitude.
"Heh...that's right."
Daelin, who is pragmatic, doesn't really believe in those mythical things. If a series of recent events hadn't partially confirmed the prophecy, he wouldn't have spoken it out in front of Sarlayan with half-doubts.
To be honest, I just want to have peace of mind.
Since Sarlayan, the man of prophecy, said so himself, Dailin quickly felt relieved.
"Then don't mention the prophecy and let's change the topic."
Dai Lin leaned back on the sofa with a relaxed expression and asked in a half-joking tone: "Don't take it too seriously, just treat it as a casual bragging between ordinary friends."
"How do you think Kul Tiras will deal with itself and continue to develop after breaking with the Alliance?"
Under the influence of the barrage for a long time, Sarlayan, who had obtained a large amount of intelligence, had already surpassed Valeela in his understanding of the international situation, and he subconsciously answered without even thinking about it.
"It's very simple. Since Lordaeron is seeking death on his own, the countries of the original alliance that were separated don't need to drag him along to play with him anymore. Why don't they just hug each other to keep warm?"
"Oh? You might as well tell me in detail."
A glimmer of light flashed in Dai Lin's eyes.
He really just mentioned it casually. He didn't intend to get any decent advice from these two young people, but he didn't expect that the stubborn Saryan would actually dare to say it.
Valeera frowned slightly and poked Sarlayan's thigh under the coffee table with her finger, signaling him to be careful about his words and actions.
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Sarlayan came back to his senses and quickly smiled and waved his hand to divert the topic.
"I don't have any detailed considerations. I just mentioned it casually along with your topic. I, a commoner, don't know anything about politics."
"Haha~ Common people?"
'Can descendants of the Dragon Clan also be considered common people?'
A meaningful smile appeared on Dai Lin's face: "Forget it, let's stop talking about this topic."
"Recently, you have had a lot of contact with Jaina. I have a problem related to Jaina that I would like to seek your opinion on."
Speaking of Jaina, Sarlayan and Valeela, who had been relatively relaxed before, both sat upright.
"Appreciate further details."
Dailin nodded, sighed and said, "It's about Jaina's future. In the current international environment, do you think...should I let her go to Dalaran to study?"
Jaina has mentioned this trouble before, but she also failed to come up with a definite answer.
Sarlayan scratched his cheek and smiled bitterly: "It's best to discuss this issue patiently with the person involved."
"Although Princess Gianna is still young, she has received elite education since childhood and is sensible earlier than her peers. As long as the relevant pros and cons are explained clearly, I believe she can make the choice that best suits her."
…
Watching Daelin, who looked thoughtful, walking towards the back hall where the royal family lived, Sarlayan and Valeela left the palace under the leadership of the palace maids.
"Hmm~"
Valeela raised her hands and stretched her curvy body.
Returning to the environment where the two of them were alone again, she was in a very happy mood.
"Let's go back to the hotel and have a good rest. Tomorrow you will accompany me to visit Boralus City. Then we will go to the port to board the ship as promised the day after tomorrow."
Since the end of the War of the Ancients, the ancient continent of Kalimdor was divided, and there has been almost no contact between the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor.
That is to say, the high elves have a long history and have retained relevant records. Many young races such as humans, dwarves and gnomes have never heard of the term Kalimdor at all.
But Kul Tiras is different. As a maritime power that roams the world, they have already covered the entire Azeroth from the sea.
The existing world maps of the Eastern Kingdom were all drawn by the Tide Sages of Kul Tiras, and the shape of the continental map is quite accurate.
The sea explorers of Kul Tiras once visited Kalimdor and learned the name of this continent from some indigenous people in the local coastal areas.
But they have never gone deep into this "wild" land, and their understanding of it only remains on the surface.
Even so, Kul Tiras is the only country in the Eastern Kingdoms that has the ability to cross the Endless Sea.
Before bidding farewell to Daelin, he readily agreed to Sarlayan's request and said on the spot that he would arrange an ocean-going ship to take them to Kalimdor.
Coincidentally, an official expedition ship will set sail from Boralus Port in two days to search for the legendary continent of Pandaria on the vast sea.
Under Daelin's arrangement, Sarlayan and Valeera will join this expedition ship as honored guests, setting off first to Kalimdor and then turning around to explore the sea.
