A piece of 'history' that seemed to come from another world stirred up all of Cadgar's memories that had been sealed away for a long time.
In the past, he had many dreams as a youth. He dreamed of being a great hero who saved the world, dreamed of becoming the greatest Mage, and left his name in history.
His parents had sent him to the Dalajan to receive training, and this was what they had taught him. When his innate talent had been activated and he had become a disciple of Medivh, this was also what he had longed for.
Goals were different from dreams.
Goals could be achieved through hard work and time.
But dreams were loftier and more distant.
All of a sudden, he was told that in the other World of Azeroth, he was a hero.
All of a sudden, all of his dreams, all of his vanity, and even the occasional hollow feeling in his chest were filled in an instant.
The feelings that had been dormant in his soul for a long time seemed to have been awakened.
"So … I can also be this strong, and I can be so worshipped …?"
This feeling was truly wonderful, but in the next moment, Cadgar was startled awake.
Was this hero still him?
Did the things that happened in the parallel world have anything to do with the main timeline that he was currently in?
Cadgar's head suddenly jerked backwards, and his entire body arched backwards.
Perhaps in that world, he was like the main character in all the legends of heroes, the gathering point of the world.
But it was precisely this feeling of reality that brought him a new and dangerous experience that made him feel a little unreal.
As Duque's thoughts stopped, Cadgar found that his senses had returned to normal.
He panted heavily. This was a habit of his. Spirit bodies did not need to breathe.
Cadgar began to carefully distinguish between what was real and what was not.
Duque did not say anything, nor did he try to remind or force Cadgar to do anything.
In Duque's imagination, not many people would be able to withstand such an impact. In particular, the psychological difference was too great. How many people would be able to withstand suddenly knowing that they could actually be amazing after living such a terrible life for twenty years?
From Duque's perspective, this was like opening Pandora's Box. It could release many terrifying things, such as the most negative emotions.
But don't forget that the final item in Pandora's Box was — hope!
Therefore, Duque wanted to take a gamble no matter what.
He wanted to see if Khadgar, the most powerful Great Mage in history, lived up to his reputation.
It had nothing to do with one's ability to comprehend magic. There were too many talented people in this world, but how many of them could become successful in the end? Apart from talent, success depended more on willpower.
Khadgar's willpower had always been strong.
"Huhuhuhu!" Cadgar panted heavily. "Can I see it again? In fact … can I see my future self in that world … "
"Sure," Duque replied calmly as he once again sent over the image created by the system elf.
Cadgar closed his eyes and slowly relaxed his senses, allowing the large number of images that invaded his sea of consciousness to gradually calm down, until it became as smooth as watching a movie. Scene after scene flashed before his eyes.
Khadgar was once again immersed in that virtual 'me from another world'. In that real illusory world, he opened his eyes and took a deep breath.
Now, he was standing in a 'memory' that belonged only to him. He was standing in a small world with himself as the center. His body was surging with the energy of that world, and what he felt was something that he could not have felt in his twenty years as a soul.
This was very fresh and very heavy, and it allowed him to see things that he could not have seen before …
That's right! In that world, he was the hero. He was the leader.
At the same time, he had to bear many things that he did not need to bear in the main storyline world.
Choice!
Almost every choice of a high-ranking person was accompanied by pain and sacrifice. There was nothing that could be achieved without paying a price, and there was no war that did not involve death.
In this world, he had been a miserable low-ranked Mage when he was alive. After choosing to preserve his soul, he only needed to fulfill his duty as a steward. He could push all the dangers to Duque and be his own librarian, roaming in the sea of books and immersing himself in magic experiments.
In that parallel world, he was the most important magic consultant of the Alliance, as well as an important leader of the Alliance. Every speculation and decision regarding the Realm of Mystery was incomparably heavy.
It had to be said that Khadgar's heart was in a mess, and he was even feeling bitter.
But at this time, Khadgar saw something else … It was something that Duque had intentionally or unintentionally let him see …
Sometimes, without comparison, there would be no harm.
Khadgar saw that under Duque's leadership, the first and second Dark Portal ended in two years.
In his own world, it had taken six years.
In this world, Duque had vigorously developed technology and economy, turning the tide many times. In the field of conventional warfare, the Alliance had almost completely suppressed the enemy.
On his side, the Lordaeron Kingdom had been destroyed, and there was also Alterac, Rapids Castle, Cuel Salas … Almost all of Lordaeron had been destroyed. Then, Gloom City had risen, and the Sin 'dorei Kingdom had sided with the Horde …
Only when they were placed side by side could Cadgar truly understand just how great the difference between the two worlds was.
Khadgar was in a mess, and his mind seemed to have turned to mush. He did not realize that while his thoughts were in chaos, the other five Elemental Emissaries were watching in shock as Khadgar's soul strength increased exponentially.
"This is …" Thaddeus' face was filled with disbelief.
"Only a soul that has been tested is the strongest soul." Alonso sighed.
Duque did not disturb Khadgar.
Du Ke was throwing caution to the wind, completely throwing caution to the wind!
He really did not know how telling Khadgar the 'truth' would affect this steward of Karazhan, who had loyally watched over him for twenty-two years.
He could only gamble!
"Huff, huff, huff!" Khadgar's breathing became rapid. Finally, after two minutes, he seemed to have calmed down.
Duque asked in a low voice, "Khadgar, is it a pity? Is it resentment? Perhaps the original you could have done better. "
Khadgar raised his head and smiled. "As expected, the work of a Bronze Dragon is difficult for humans to accept. When I saw how valiant I was in the other world, I was a bit confused as to which one was the real me. "
Duque said, "Have you thought it through?"
"I have! The me in this world is me, and the me in the other world is also me. Since the me in the other world can do it, I think I can do it well in my own world. " At this point, Khadgar revealed a mysterious smile. "I know what you are worried about, my Lord! I want to say that your worries are unnecessary. "
"Unnecessary?"
"Just like how you had countless chances to become the Emperor, but you gave up on it. My reason is similar — the world is about to be destroyed by demons, so I don't care who is going to be the hero! "
