But despite his massive size and obvious dominance, his eyes are sharp and full of wisdom. He had more power than the other dragons to decide the success of Crassus' trip.

"Despite your disguise, if you were one of us, you would know who I am." The last dragon rumbled.

Crassus tried hard to remember something. Of course he knew who it was, but he just couldn't remember the name.

As Crassus struggled with his chaotic will, his body tensed and his blood flowed. He knew that if he didn't know the dragon's name, he would be rejected no matter what he said, and he would never be able to warn the other dragons of when the dangers he encountered would arise again.

"You're Taranny Staz!"

Crassus roared loudly, making a sharp and somewhat desolate sound.

……

Of course, Crassus knew the name of the dragon—now and 10,000 years from now.

As a dragon, a dragon - Crassus does not belong to the present world - the reason why he is here, who is interrogated by these dragons, who has lost most of his strength and abilities, is solely because of ...... He was an uninvited guest from 10,000 years later, a being who was not supposed to be in this world in the first place.

Crassus didn't know why he had gone back 10,000 years - but when the bronze guardian dragon Nozdom, who was on the same level as his most revered queen, found Crassus in Dalaran, the brilliant red dragon understood a lot at once.

In Crassus's memory, he had met a great mentor 10,000 years ago...... That mentor had a great influence on his future life and experiences. But it disappeared from his vision forever soon after.

Until 10,000 years passed, Crassus was searching for the whereabouts of this mentor, but ...... When the bronze guardian dragon Nozdorm appeared in front of him. After giving him the task of going back 10,000 years to stop the invasion of the Burning Legion, Crassus understood everything.

What a mentor, what a mysterious leader...... Crassus finally understood that these were illusory shadows that hung over the true imagination - and that all obscuration cast aside - Crassus found that his mentor and friend from 10,000 years ago was himself, returning to himself 10,000 years ago.

It's kind of ridiculous to think about it - talking to yourself 10,000 years from now and yourself from 10,000 years ago...... But Crassus knew that for Nozdorm, who controlled all of Azeroth's timelines. It's not a hard task.

But it was only after coming into this world that Crassus realized that going back in time was not an easy task - the bronze guardian dragon Nozdorm didn't have much to tell him and left him in this time stream where a momentous event was about to take place...... Had it not been for the dragons' contact with these companions through contacts that had not changed for tens of thousands of years, Crassus didn't even know if he would have been able to survive in that strange forest—compared to the powerful Being. At this point, he was a little too weak.

Especially when compared to these young, strong kinds—Crassus looked at the massive dragon in front of him—he knew that the other was not yet the strongest form.

Whether it's now or 10,000 years later, Crassus knows that he is no match for Taranistaz, but ......

Crassus looked up at his strong and sturdy companion, his gaze as if he could travel through time. Travel through endless spaces and distant distances. Going deep into the soul of Taranistaz - Crassus really wanted to ask this companion why he had betrayed his own species, betrayed his own ...... Queen.

Yes, betrayal - after 10,000 years, Crassus knew that Taranistaz would betray the queen and conspire with the powerful black dragon Deathwing Nesario to trap the Red Dragon Queen in Grimbaatar. And do something evil with the Queen's eggs......

Crassus had not personally experienced what had happened in Grimbaatar - the dwarven castle had long since been destroyed in the flames of Her Excellency the Queen, and Taranistaz ...... According to Her Excellency the Queen. The traitor had died in her witty wit of discord with Deathwing's Nesario.

Crassus really wanted to ask Taranistaz what caused him to betray his race, but he remembered the rules that the bronze guardian dragon Nozdom had told him - that Crassus couldn't change anything other than to stop the invasion of the Burning Legion - for example, he couldn't remind the Red Dragon Queen of the future rebellion of Taranistaz in this time stream, or remind the other dragons about the black dragon Nesario.

Crassus didn't intend to follow such a code - as someone who had lived through the catastrophe, he knew what Deathwing's betrayal meant to dragons - and countless dragons had been reduced to ashes by the power of Deathwing's demonic souls in the battle with the Burning Legion.

Crassus knew he had to stop the invasion of the Burning Legion, but he also knew he had to stop what was coming next—the betrayal of the Black Dragon, the crisis of Grimbaatar, the rise of humanity...... Crassus didn't know how long he could stay in this stream of time, but he felt it was his duty to use his knowledge of the future to give his fellow citizens more opportunities to survive and thrive.

Of course, Crassus knew that he shouldn't question Taranistaz right now - because as Her Excellency's most trusted bodyguard, Crassus knew that offending Taranistaz would not do him any good in his next mission - after all, he would have to rely on the Queen's bodyguard to meet with his most important concerns...... Queen.

……

Taranistaz let out a loud laugh similar to that of a human. Of course, he was proud that others could remember his name and title, after all, the title of this crimson dragon was always eye-catching.

"You are indeed one of us, although I can't place you yet! The man who brought you has already told me your name. But obviously it is wrong, because among us the name is destined for a lonely man. ”

"There's nothing wrong with the name," Crassus insisted, "and I can explain why." ”

Taranistaz, Alexstaza's defender, shook his powerful head. A puff of smoke came out of his nose: "We've heard that little explanation from you, but it's still hard to believe it's true!" You say you're in the land of eternity, Nozdorm, but even he still can't be as careless as you say! (To be continued......)
