The troll city in the forest is becoming more and more prosperous.
It is full of vitality, and new faces arrive every day. New scenery is created every day. Creations that amaze outsiders appear every day.
In the city, Dezra district.
This is a famous commercial district in the city, and it is currently the only commercial district.
"Time and Barbecue and Wine and Inn" Backyard.
Initially, the name of this store was Time and Barbecue.
Later, the boss added wine to its name, and after a while, she added a hotel affix to its name.
The name sounds long, but both to the shop owner himself and to the regular customers.
We are all used to its weird name, because the wine and barbecue here are really the best in Zutona.
Especially the wine. It can be said that the wine here is the best in the entire Zutonari!
Attracted by these two good things, even its slightly expensive accommodation fee is easier to understand.
After all, it is a "red" store...
The charge is a bit more expensive, is there any problem?
If you have any questions, turn left or right when you go out. There are many similar stores nearby!
At this moment, the owner of Zutona's most prosperous comprehensive commercial hotel is receiving her former compatriots in the backyard.
"Ah! Kairoz! I'm glad you are here. You can come, which makes me feel that today is a lucky day." A "troll" girl who is neither tall nor short and looks about fourteen or fifteen years old said.
She said happily while pointing her little fangs.
Opposite her was a "high elf" that was extremely rare in Zutona.
"Lord Chromie."
The high elf was curious and a little confused, "Don't you like the look of dwarfs the most? How can you keep..."
"Well... this is my trade secret. Kairoz. Well, it's not really a secret. Because I want my customers to feel more like they belong to my store, so naturally I have to become like them.
"Chromie, who looks young but is actually not much younger than the Bronze Dragon King, waved his hands and said.
"All right."
Kairoz, whose full name is Kairozdormu, looks like a high elf. In fact, he is a bronze dragon and a member of the Guardians of Time.
For a clan leader like Chromie, Kairozdormu, a member of the ordinary bronze dragons, respects the leader's choices and actions.
He explained his purpose.
"Lord Solidomi asked me to come here to help you. Because His Majesty Nozdormu sent an instruction from the long river of time. He wants me to come here to help you..."
"So I came."
His words made Chromie a little confused, and the giant bronze dragon that looked like a troll girl frowned and thought for a moment.
"I'm doing well here, and I don't lack dragon hands at all..."
"Why would Your Majesty say that I need help?"
Can't figure it out.
But Nozdormu itself, even within the clan, is a symbol of mystery and the fact that everything he does must have a meaning.
Most of the time, no other bronze dragon except himself knows why the Dragon King does what he does.
But in the end, when His various methods revealed the answer, it was always proven to be correct.
Anyway, just follow his command. For many years, the bronze dragons and Chromie have been coming here like this.
"Okay. I accept your arrival. Dear Kairoz." Chromie nodded.
But she looked at his appearance and said, "But if you really want to stay here and help me, you need to change your appearance. This appearance is more conspicuous here!"
"Change appearance..."
"Can we not change?" Kairoz said hesitantly, turning into a troll, and he was a little concerned.
"Then you have no choice but to go back. Another dragon will come." Chromie said. "Don't you see that I have become like this?"
"I would rather switch to another dragon..." Kairoz muttered.
But His Majesty the Dragon King named him, and there was no way other dragons could come, and he had no shame in letting other dragons come.
"I'll change." Kairoz could only grit his teeth and said.
"Ha! This is what a member of the Guardians of Time should look like! For the future of Azeroth, for the stability of the long river of time. What's so big about a change in appearance? Not to mention it's just an incarnation!"
Chromie said nonchalantly.
"You are right." Kairoz had nothing to say.
"Well... you came just in time."
Chromie looked at Kairoz and suddenly laughed for no reason, and the more he laughed, the happier he became.
The young bronze dragon laughed so hard that he was a little flustered and didn't know what the boss wanted to do.
"I need your help with something!" Just as he was making unreasonable guesses, Chromie's expression suddenly turned serious.
"This matter is related to the future of Azeroth and the stability of time. Only Kairoz can do this kind of thing well," Chromie said.
Is this a compliment from a boss?
The young bronze dragon was a little excited in his heart. He didn't expect that Chromie, a famous boss in the race, would think so highly of him.
"I will do my best. But there are many powerful seniors in the clan, and I can't possibly do better than them." Kairozdormu said modestly.
"No, no, no, you are really good at some simple time tricks. Even Solidomi praised you for your time control of small objects." Chromie said to him with a smile.
"Is this the case?" Kairozdormu felt pleased because Chromie was praising his merits.
In terms of controlling the passage of time on small items, he is indeed relatively good among dragons of the same age in the clan.
"Haha... I'm just a little good at it." Kairoz said with a smile.
"Young dragon, don't be humble. If I say you can do it, you can do it!" Chromie patted his shoulder in a very "big boss" manner.
"Hehe..." Kairoz was neither modest nor refused, so he could only smile stupidly.
This kind of silly smile looks a bit inconsistent on the face of a "high elf" who is supposed to be proud.
Chromie said: "Let's go. Kairoz, I will take you to use your best talent. I can actually do this task, but my control is not good enough! You should be very good at it!"
"OK."
Kairozdormu said obligingly: "I will do my best!"
"Walk!"
Chromie brought the younger members of the clan to the basement of "Time, Barbecue, Wine and Inn", a room filled with various jars.
"It's right here." Chromie pointed to the jars on the ground with a serious expression. "Kainoz, use your best talent. Accelerate the time of these jars, let their time go to fifty, forget it.
, twenty years from now!”
Kairoz looked at these dark jars and looked at the serious-faced Chromie boss, as if he was facing an enemy.
He was wondering in his mind what was in these jars that could make Chromie look like this.
Suddenly, he had an idea.
Un'Goro Crater and Silithus are so close, separated only by a mountain range. And Silithus is sealing a dark boss, C'Thun!
Perhaps these jars are related to the Ancient Gods, because only the power of the Ancient Gods or the Burning Legion would make the Aspect Dragons so nervous.
When he thought of this possibility, Kairoz, who had never faced the forces of ancient gods or demons, suddenly became serious and nervous.
The eyes looking at these jars seemed nervous and a little fearful.
The dark jar looks like ordinary ceramics.
A jar is a container.
There is no doubt that it is a container, and the container is also a shackle and a curse.
Those who pick it up may lose their souls and be dominated by a will that encompasses all things. Everyone can only record themselves but cannot escape.
Although their appearance is extremely ordinary, they are just jars.
On all sides of the smooth surface, only the side facing the bronze dragon was as cold as a corpse.
Being in the same room with them, Kairoz felt that when the air fell into silence, he could even hear the jars breathing slightly, but it was not like the sound of some living creatures at all, it was heavy, depressed, and dry,
The jars were arranged in a strange shape, intertwined with each other. They were placed horizontally on the ground, like a blasphemous altar, with indescribable objects placed on top of the altar.
The objects inside the jar were beyond Kairoz's description.
But just imagining this made a powerful bronze dragon feel terrified from the bottom of his heart.
At this time, Chromie's voice happened to sound again: "Hurry up and get to work, Kairoz. I'm very busy!"
The boss's voice interrupted Kairoz's thoughts, allowing him to recover from his cold state.
"call……"
He took a deep breath.
Since it is related to the ancient gods, it must not be taken lightly.
Kairozdormu solemnly prepared time magic, and a mysterious black-yellow light shone brightly in the basement.
At this time, he heard Chromie solemnly confess: "Remember, only let their time pass for 20 years. It can be less, but never more! Otherwise, you will be in trouble!"
Kairozdormu nodded solemnly, saying that he would do his best.
Immediately afterwards, the power of time descended on the small basement and enveloped these ceramic jars hiding the "evil" of the ancient gods.
Soon, the black light dimmed.
Kairozdormu breathed a little tiredly, and proudly said to the boss: "Sir, I did it, twenty years have passed! There will never be a minute more, nor a minute less!"
He didn't dare to say seconds, because his control of time could only be accurate to this point at best.
"Good job!" Chromie patted him on the shoulder, looking very happy. "Now use magic to change you into a troll, then go up there and I will arrange work for you!"
"Okay." Kairozdormu obeyed and followed Chromie out of the basement.
Only halfway, he curiously asked the boss: "Lord Chromie, may I know what is in those jars?"
It doesn't matter if you say no.
Because if you can't even know it yourself, it will prove the evil in the jar!
he thought.
Unexpectedly, Chromie answered immediately without looking back:
"Why not? There's nothing to hide!"
ah?!
You can actually tell me!
In Kairozdormu, the young bronze dragon felt a little excited. The fatigue caused by using spells too hard was gone in this mood.
It turns out that in Lord Chromie's heart, have I grown up enough to participate in such a big event?
Kairoz, who was excited, became sluggish the next moment, because Chromie said:
"What's in the jar is wine! It's wine! It's wine!! I spent a lot of money to buy it. This basement is my wine cellar! Hehe! Kailuozi, if you know why the wine in my store tastes so good, then
Is it fragrant?"
Kairoz was stunned.
He opened his mouth wide and said subconsciously: "Why?"
"Why? Didn't you just do it yourself?! Hehe! I released the power of time on my wine! The new wine I just brewed, after using the time magic, turned into a good wine that is 10 or 20 years old! This way
Come on, of course it tastes great!"
"I used to do this kind of thing. Kairoz, now that you are here, it will be easier for me. From now on, I will leave all the work of adding age to the wine to you!"
Kairoz opened his mouth.
Is it wine?! Is it wine?! The "Ancient God Evil" in the jar is wine?!
