LIVE: Azeroth

Jaina's worries were not groundless. The eredar were indeed a diligent and loyal race, which can be seen from the draenei.

However, coexisting with the Burning Legion for more than 25,000 years has fundamentally changed their living habits and reversed their outlook on life.

For example, if you find Man'ari and Draenei children of the same age, they will give completely different answers to the same question.

Question: If you met an injured old man on the roadside, how would you choose to react?

Due to long-term acceptance of the correct values ​​​​guidance by the senior Delaney leaders headed by Velen, the Delaney children will most likely choose to enthusiastically support the elderly. Even if they may suffer some losses, they will not change their first choice. It’s the good direction that comes from having a leader of high character.

As for the Amanre children... they may ignore the fallen old man and leave with a smile, or they may even behave in a worse way, because this is the education they have received under the influence of the environment since childhood.

And just as Jaina said, the success rate of the light-casting ritual developed by the demon Zela is quite low. This is still the chance of transforming a normal person into a light-casting form.

Thinking with the soles of your feet, you can imagine that if you want to use the light casting ritual to transform Man'ari, whose body is filled with evil energy, the difficulty will definitely be higher, and the success rate will reach a new low.

However, what Sarlayan is thinking about right now is not the actual problems that he will face in the future. He values ​​​​more the short-term benefits that Man'ari's active investment can bring.

As for Man'ari's outcome afterwards... it's none of my business. These evil-doing guys deserve to die without mercy. Even the kind-hearted Velen will never show mercy when facing them.

In short, Sarlayan just wanted to use the Man'ari in a cowardly manner, and did not really want to accept their surrender.

So the question is, can Talgas realize Sarlayan's perfunctory attitude?

Of course he could, but he... or Man'ari had no choice.

If we continue on the original path, regardless of whether the Burning Legion will be defeated by a certain force in the future, Man'ari's influence and status in the Legion will be significantly reduced to the naked eye, and he will even be despised by those they previously looked down upon. The "lower" demon retaliated by stepping on its head and shitting.

This is something Talgas cannot accept in any case.

Talgas has followed Kil'jaeden across the Star Sea for many years. He has also heard about the Light Forging Ceremony of the Holy Light Legion and knows that the success rate of this thing is very low.

But so what?

What Talgas needs to do now is to draw a pie for the Man'ari who are confused about the future, so that they can see a future that is completely different from continuing to be loyal to the Burning Legion.

As for the success rate of the light-casting ceremony, it has nothing to do with me, Talgas. Anyway, I will not accept that bullshit ceremony.

Most people simply don’t know the principles of the Lightcasting Ceremony. If it’s really time to undergo the ceremony later… then we’ll talk about it then.

In a word, Sarlayan and Talgas are just using each other tacitly.

Sarlayan needs Talgath and his Man'ari to deliver the latest information from Argus to Azeroth. Talgath also needs to find another path for himself and his people in advance that is different from the Burning Legion. As for the retreat, the two sides have the same interests for the time being, so they naturally hit it off.

After listening to Sarlayan's explanation, Jaina smiled bitterly and rubbed her eyebrows: "For me, this kind of conspiracy is still too complicated."

Sarlayan smiled and rubbed her smooth blond hair: "What's so strange about this? You are not a politician or a strategist. You are a scholar. As long as you can do things well in your professional field, enough."

"Speaking of this..."

Valeela asked Jaina with a serious expression: "Have you and Mimiron figured out the operating principle of the evil power furnace?"

Jaina quickly corrected her mentality and nodded solemnly to Valeela: "Thanks to the high-intensity 'fuel' provided by Sarlayan, something has been gained, but it will take a period of in-depth research to obtain the results." draw final conclusions.”

Saryan said encouragingly: "Speed ​​up the research progress as much as possible."

"Now that Man'ari is helping to pass on the internal intelligence of Argus, we can monitor the progress of Sargeras' corruption at any time so that we can respond as quickly as possible when something unusual happens." "I boldly speculate that the witch will leave it to us. The time should be less than half a year. Once Aggramar, who has been under special care, succumbs, even if we are not fully prepared by then, we must immediately launch an army to go out."

Sarlayan said with some deep eyes: "A half-finished Aggramar is barely acceptable. If there is another fallen titan, even if all the high-end combat power of Azeroth is mobilized, it may be difficult to win the final victory of the decisive battle. "

Jaina also knew the seriousness of the situation. She took a deep breath and promised: "Mimiron and I will do our best. Preliminary predictions are that the final research results should be available within one month. Within three months It should be possible to complete the transformation of the energy pipeline of the Manfrey."

"Three months..." Sarlayan nodded thoughtfully: "Okay, it's still acceptable, but I'll have to suffer for Tulayang and Adal for a while longer."

【Grass! 】

[Legion of Holy Light: Arminos! Why don't you suffer yourself? ! 】

……

Three months of rest should barely allow the Azeroth coalition forces, which had just experienced a great war, to initially recover.

This period of time is neither long nor short.

Sarlayan barely rested after the war, and he worked non-stop with Onyxia to meet up with Abyssian, who was in a hurry, and then headed to Highmountain together.

Although Nefarian's lair in Highmountain has long been abandoned, it is still the closest place to the core of the earth in Azeroth except Deepholm.

Deep Rock Continent, which is already connected to the material world, is great, but it is not the home of the Dragon Clan after all.

The new King of Earth Elements, Mythrael, is still in seclusion to absorb the elemental core left by Therazane. Without the control of the King of Elements, the current situation in Deep Rock Continent is still relatively chaotic. The always cautious Sarlayan does not dare to Big things happen in this neutral territory.

In this case, Neltharion's lair, which was recently recovered by the black dragon clan, became the best alternative.

If Onyxia hadn't told him, Thalayan, who was troubled by everything, wouldn't have realized Xal'atath's hidden dangers.

As the owner of this magic weapon dagger, Onyxia knows its status better than anyone else.

Since she said that Xal'atath was secretly gathering strength to try to "break out of prison," Sharlayan would naturally not doubt it and immediately decided to resolve this unsettling factor before launching an expedition.

The Earth Guardian Seal on the Blade of the Dark Empire was imposed by Azadas himself, and there has never been a problem for so many years.

But if you think about it carefully, Azadas had just woken up a few years ago and had not yet returned to Ulduar. His strength should not have reached his peak state back then.

In other words, this Earth Guardian Seal is not perfect.

As Onyxia and Sharlayan temporarily unblocked many times and used Xal'atath's characteristics to defeat powerful enemies, it's not surprising that Xal'atath, who has many tricks, makes some small moves behind the scenes.

But at least so far, the power it secretly accumulated is not enough to break through Azadas's seal.

Although after losing the will of Xal'atath himself, the power of the Blade of the Dark Empire will inevitably decrease.

But as the saying goes, it’s the lesser of two evils. Rather than letting Onyxia continue to risk using this double-edged sword that doesn’t know whether it will hurt the enemy or herself first, it’s better to eliminate this hidden danger directly with a lower power. Just lower it and it will still work. (End of chapter)
