[Chapter 54: Savior Fording and Eternal Dragon David]

After realizing that he was not someone who could hide something by wearing a mask for a long time, David stopped worrying about how to make up a lie and directly told what he knew.

“I do know something about you, and I also know some things that will happen in Azeroth in the future.”

Fording nodded, not saying anything unbelievable. Born and raised in a world full of mysterious power, things like prophets and prophecies are not difficult to understand.

Although he still didn’t know the details about David’s identity and why he knew so much, Fording felt that these things would be said when David wanted to. He didn’t say it now, either because he didn’t want to say it or because the timing was not right.

In either case, Fording would not continue to ask. If it was the former possibility, his questioning would only make the two of them embarrassed. If it was the latter, then it would be useless to ask.

Now he was more concerned about what would happen in the world of Azeroth?

“It’s a plague…” David carefully recalled the various contents about the Scourge Plague, and then told Fording what he knew.

“Plague…” After listening to David’s introduction, Fording’s expression changed from seriousness at the beginning to solemnity.

David’s introduction was very messy, but he had understood that this so-called natural plague was just the beginning of a series of huge disasters. The various events that followed directly destroyed the Kingdom of Lordaeron, making this Eastern Kingdom, or the most powerful human kingdom in the world of Azeroth, completely become history.

What he didn’t expect was that the outstanding heir to the kingdom, Prince Arthas Menethil, who everyone thought would lead the Kingdom of Lordaeron to a new peak, actually played a very important role in the destruction of the Kingdom of Lordaeron.

“This…”

After hearing that Arthas led the Scourge to sweep across the Eastern Kingdom, not only completely destroyed the Kingdom of Lordaeron, but also broke through Quel’Thalas, Fording didn’t know what expression to make.

Looking at Fording, who was sweating profusely, David stopped his story. In fact, his story was very messy and fragmented. Although he had played the Warcraft series of games and read the Chronicles in his previous life, these things were only casually learned and his memory was not deep. Even though his memory had been greatly improved through practice and the rewards he received from Steve, he could only think of what he was talking about. It was impossible for him to explain it as clearly and meticulously as if he had a Chronicle in his hand.

However, this was not a problem. It was enough to let Fording know the general idea first. The specific details could be asked to Laura to buy a set of Warcraft Chronicles later.

Looking at Fording in front of him, the Paladin had regained his composure at this time, and his eyes were full of determination.

“It seems that you have made a decision.”

“Yes!” Fording looked at David: “In fact, I am not good at hiding my actual thoughts.”

“What do you want to do?” David really wanted to know what choice someone like Fording would make after knowing the ‘plot’? What kind of impact will it have on the original “story”: “You should know that even if you go back and tell some people about these things, most people won’t believe it, right?”

“I know.” Having lived to such an old age, Fording knows that humans have many shortcomings, including that no matter how many examples there are, as long as they have not experienced it personally, they will choose to turn a blind eye to this point: “And in my current situation, I’m afraid I can’t go to those old guys.”

“I may need to go back and check around and do some investigation to get more information…” Fording glanced at David. He didn’t know if David could provide more details. If he could get more information from David, he could make a better judgment.

“The specific details will take some time.”

“No problem.” Fording was not in a hurry. Since David said that the disaster would happen in a few years, it meant that he still had time to make various preparations: “Is there anything I can help you do?”

After saying so much, David even exposed some of his own secrets, so there must be something for him to do, and this matter was related to the disaster that was about to happen in Azeroth.

Otherwise, David would not have to tell me these things. If David was more treacherous, he could have revealed some information to me before the crisis came, so that I could serve him better. He didn’t need to reveal too much. He just needed to remind me that his wife and son were in danger, so that he could rush back to help his family in time. He would be grateful to David for reminding him.

Now, this practice of revealing various intelligence several years in advance seems not so smart, but Fording thinks that David’s current practice is more worthy of gratitude.

David didn’t know Fording’s thoughts at this time, but he could detect Fording’s change in attitude towards him through another special method. He clearly felt that the holy light in his body had increased significantly. In addition, he felt that his body seemed to have changed in some ways.

He needed to test and observe the specific situation before he could know, but there was one thing he could be sure of: Fording’s favorability towards him had increased again.

He seemed to have accidentally clicked on the right option. David was not in a hurry to be happy, but told Fording his plan: not to mention the refugees of Lordaeron, he felt that the craftsmen staying in the western wilderness were worth recruiting first.

“It’s not a difficult task, but it will take some time to go to Stormwind Kingdom.” Coming back can be done in an instant, but going there is not so easy.

When Fording returns to Azeroth, he will go to his hometown near Hearthglen, which is convenient for him to visit his wife and son at any time. Hearthglen is located in the north of the entire Eastern Kingdom continent, north of the future Western Plaguelands, which is still called East Wilder at this time; the Western Wilds that David hopes he will go to are located in the south of the Eastern Kingdom, and further south is the Stranglethorn Vale at the southernmost end of the Eastern Kingdom.

This journey is equivalent to crossing the entire Eastern Kingdom continent vertically. Not only is the journey long, but there are also many troublesome areas along the way.

Fording doesn’t care about the troubles, and he won’t refuse to help such a small favor. He just reminded David that it might take him more time.

“It doesn’t matter. You can come back to rest at night anyway.”

“I forgot that I could do this.”

Fording was stunned for a few seconds before realizing that he could travel to Azeroth during the day and return to Winter Village to rest at night. He could even return to Winter Village to rest when he was tired in Azeroth, and return to Winter Village to eat when he was hungry, without having to care about the specific time. And he didn’t need to carry too much luggage with him. He could reach the Western Wilds faster with light luggage.

After chatting for a few more sentences, Fording didn’t ask about the future situation of Azeroth this time. He wanted to know what his future would be like: “Of course, if you think this kind of “prophecy” is inconvenient to talk about, it’s okay if you don’t tell me.”

Previously, they talked about the general situation of Azeroth, and didn’t describe the specific future of certain people too much. Only Arthas was mentioned because he was particularly important.

Although Fording felt that it didn’t matter whether he knew his future or not, he was still curious in his heart, so he asked by the way.

David didn’t think there was anything he couldn’t say. What if he changed the future after saying it? What kind of problem was that? Fording had come to the other world, and he would have to help him a lot in the future. Just talking about what he was going to do for David, the future had already been changed!

Apart from other things, he and Fording were so familiar with each other, and the other party taught him all kinds of knowledge about the Holy Light and fighting skills. Could he just watch Fording’s family fall apart? David was not that kind of person!

“Although it is glorious and brilliant, it is not so wonderful for you personally.”

Fording roughly told the information he remembered, and he soon understood why David described his future in this way.

“It does not sound so beautiful.”

Although he made great contributions to saving Azeroth, and died in the battle with the devil, it was also a suitable ending for his identity. However, he was separated from his wife and son for many years, and his son died in his prime. He was the old man who sent his son away. His life was indeed not so perfect.

He also learned a piece of news by the way. In the upcoming disaster, the Knights of the Silver Hand will not only face a huge test, but will also split up. The Scarlet Crusade will go to extremes, and his son will die at the hands of these “own people”.

“That hasn’t happened yet.” David kindly reminded him: “These are just a ‘possibility’.”

Fording understood the concept of parallel universes when the three captains appeared. With such an example in front of him, he would not think that the future was doomed. Now he has the opportunity to change this unpleasant future.

“I will leave tomorrow morning.” Fording has more motivation after having a goal, and he wants to change more than just his own future. He wants to do more: “Get to the West Wilderness as soon as possible.” If David

‘s entrustment is completed as soon as possible, he can also devote his energy to a bigger goal as soon as possible.

“Thank you for telling me all this! I’m going back to rest. Good night!”

Watching Fording leave the cabin, David scratched his scalp a few times. He really wanted to know what impact this Fording, who knew the future plot and was full of energy, would have on the history of Azeroth.

“Does this count as starting a new template for the protagonist?”

Will spoilers cause any negative effects, such as summoning bronze dragons?

David didn’t care too much about these dragons, because from the plot point of view, bronze dragons don’t manage the timeline that strictly; and there are many parallel worlds in Azeroth with different developments, so the emergence of a savior Fordring’s timeline is not a big deal.

“Why do I feel like my behavior is a bit like an eternal dragon?”
