Chapter 20 - Exposure
…………
Many people say that Alextasa has always been the embodiment of dignity, courage, kindness and compassion, and even when she faces incredible horror, a heart of kindness has never wavered at all. Aurelia hopes that this statement is true.
"Tell me why you came here to tell me this?" asked the burgundy-haired elf girl.
This question caught Aurelia off guard, and she stammered and replied: "Because this world needs you now."
"I know, but why are you here to persuade me to go back?" Alextsa looked up at Caregos hovering in the air not far away. "Many people will come to me, but why are you?"
The two suddenly fell into silence. Alextasa kept staring at Aurelia, her eyes as if they were about to penetrate her body. For a long time, they looked at each other.
"Because of my child!" Aurelia finally couldn't help but speak.
"Your...child?" asked the Red Dragon Queen in a strange tone.
Aurelia made another effort. "His name is Belorel, and he was taken to the Road of Time by Nozdom. I don't know why the Bronze Dragon did this, but Caregus told me that only if you return to the Dragon Sleeping Temple can Belorel come back."
"So you were forced." Hearing the name Nozdom, a fleeting interest flashed across the Red Dragon Queen's face. In the battle of the Dragon Sleeping Temple, only the bronze dragon did not suffer severe damage. Alextasa wanted to know why he didn't warn others if he knew in advance?
"I beg you." Aurelia's voice interrupted the thoughts of the Red Dragon Queen, "My child should not be involved in this disaster, please consider him..."
"Get out!" Alex Tasa raised her head, her tone extremely cold.
The frustration deeply hurt Aurelia's heart, and such a merciless answer was spoken from the mouth of the most beautiful and kind person in the world.
When she was about to scold Alextasa, a roar suddenly came out of the solemn air, and the mixed anger and majesty made Aurelia choke up. The female elf realized that even though Alextasa looked very fragile now, she still guarded the dragon and the power on her body did not disappear.
"Don't force me to get angry." She warned again, without any room for relief.
Aurelia felt all her strength disappear and left with an extremely heavy mood. She walked slowly to the place where Caregus made an appointment with her. Blue Dragon looked at her sadly above her head, and then fell down.
"Ms. Regent?" Caregus asked in a low voice.
Aurelia glanced at the Blue Dragon with a dead face, and returned all the disgust she had accumulated from Alextasa to Karegoth with her eyes.
Karegoth knew that the female elf had failed, and this ending was heartbreaking. He hoped that this way could approach Alextasa's heart and let the life-binding person know that the mortals in this world need her. Looking at the life in need, the Red Dragon Queen could not be indifferent, and she could change her mind. Thinking that Alextasa would die alone here...
"Can you go to the magic pivot with me?" Karegoth's voice seemed very tired, but he still made his request to Aurelia.
"Do you want to continue watching my humiliated expression?"
"No!" Karegoth shook his head, and he looked at the position of the Red Dragon Queen with concern. "I am sorry for what Alextasa said just now."
"I've said it long ago that I can only do my best. Now that I have said it, when will Norzdom bring Belorel back?"
"In the magic hub." Lan Long emphasized, "He said he would meet in that place."
...
"What did you say? Belorel was taken to Maris Farm?" Nathanos turned around and looked at Mnozdo in surprise. He stopped the vase in his hand. After the journey to the Road to Time, they returned to the main castle in Altlank.
The Eternal Dragon King leaned against the door of the conference hall and looked at the Forgotten Leader with a serious face. "It's not wrong. Since Nozdom asked your son to return to the past, it must have something to do with you. So, my people searched all the time nodes you have existed and found traces of that child in your hometown."
"Maris Farm?" Nathanos's hand, full of bones, held the vase, and a harsh friction sound was made in the gap between the knuckles and the bottle. Maris Farm was definitely the place where he had been in his lifetime. The memories there were never a single sentence or two. However, the more memories, the more important time points there would be. It was difficult for Nathanos to judge when Belorel had witnessed himself.
"So... when did Belorel return to the past?"
"It's... dangerous for you." The voice that penetrated Nathanos's ears carried a thorny tone, which made the Witherer focus all his attention on Mnozdo. "He returned to your most important moment, when you just experienced the encirclement of Quel'thalas and Stormwind."
The vase lost its center of gravity and slipped out of Nathanos's hand and fell into pieces. The news from Mnozdo made him squint his eyes slowly. Now someone has witnessed the whole process of surviving from the ruins, or his child, what does that mean?
"No, Belorel doesn't know me, even if he sees that I'm not dead, he may not take it to heart."
"What if the Bronze Dragon told him what happened?"
Nathanos smiled, but his eyes looked particularly serious. "So, the Bronze Dragon has also started to run the timeline normally? If Belorel didn't know me, I could hide it all the time."
"Of course." Mnozdo affirmed.
"Bronze Dragon!" said the Withering One. This name should have made him furious, but he was not angry. After all, the Eternal Dragon and the Bronze Dragon are the same creatures. One side wants to eliminate him, and the other side does its best to protect him. In secret, there are countless clashes between the two sides. "Forget it." Nathanos said calmly, "Fang Zheng will be exposed sooner or later."
