Not only was the barrage unexpected, Sarlayan was also very surprised by the ruthless work his mother did.
The reason why Inas asked Sarlayan to try not to leave Quel'Thalas in the past year was mainly to help him solve his life-long affairs. Sarlayan had already expected this.
However, no matter how bold he was, he could only guess that Inas wanted to persuade Daelin or Valeela's parents to allow their daughter to give up her legitimate status. These four together... Please forgive Sarlayan for his lack of imagination.
In the presence of a large number of barrage-eaters, Inas introduced in detail the results of her mediation efforts over the past six months.
Just as Sarlayan expected, Inas has been traveling all over the world recently, and she has temporarily put aside the research work in the laboratory, and only entrusted the preliminary preparations for the in vitro fertilization experiment to the deputy in the laboratory.
Valila's parents are only side descendants of the Sangunar family, a couple with a relatively ordinary background.
The only one of her lineage worthy of further exploration is the ancestor who once served as a member of the Parliament of Tirisfal - Revthera Sangunar.
However, Revthera passed away many years ago, and by the time the family line reached Valeera's father's generation, everyone had long since disappeared.
Although Valeera and Sarlayan were childhood sweethearts who grew up together, seeing Sarlayan rise rapidly as if she had wings on her shoulders, Valeela's parents have been worried that their daughter will not be able to keep up with her sweetheart's progress.
.
Fortunately, Sarlayan never showed any intention of alienating Valeera because of his rising status. The relationship between the two has always been very good, and they occasionally go home to visit their elders together.
Although it is only a side branch, the Sangunar family is also a noble family of Quel Azshara, and Valeera's parents are very aware of the private and corrupt lives of the nobles.
Nowadays, Thalayan has become a Duke. According to the potential standards of Quel'Thalas nobles, having a few lovers behind the scenes is nothing.
Don't think that high elves don't pay attention to being well-matched. In the feudal era, this set of principles can be applied to any world.
The self-aware Sangunar couple do not force Valeela to marry Sarlayan and become a real duchess. They only hope that Sarlayan will not give up the relationship they have maintained with their daughter since childhood.
Inas's move to persuade the Sangunar couple went very smoothly, and the two parties quickly reached a consensus on Valeera becoming Sarlayan's partner.
In order to show her sincerity, Inas deliberately revealed her identity as a dragon in front of the Sangunar couple, and also told them in detail about the dragon's concept of mate selection.
Sharlayan's true origin is no longer a secret among the high-ranking officials in Quel'Thalas, but ordinary people like Valeera's parents have not heard anything about it.
When they learned that Sarlayan was a descendant of the dragon race and had a concept of mate selection that was completely different from that of the mortal race, the couple, who were already wavering, quickly agreed to Inas's proposal and agreed to let Valeela become Sarlayan's wife.
One of the orthodox companions.
Inas assured the Sangunar couple that Saryan and Valeera's relationship was very stable, and that once the relationship was established, she would be treated as a real wife and would never treat her badly.
Compared with couples in the traditional sense, Sharlayan, who follows the dragon tradition, will not hold a wedding ceremony for Valeela that is more symbolic than practical like a mortal would.
After taking care of Valeera's parents, Inas also patiently communicated with Valeera herself.
After confirming that there would be no hierarchy among Sarlayan's confidante and that everyone was equal, the jealous man finally agreed reluctantly.
This is also because Valeera has been with Onyxia, Stellagosa and Jaina for many years, and they are already familiar with the rhythm of living with each other.
After convincing Valeera, who was relatively difficult to deal with, Inas made a non-stop trip to Northrend and communicated with Sinestra and Senegos in the Obsidian Holy Land and the Demonic Nexus.
As Inas said, dragons' concept of spouses is not as ritualized as that of mortals. As long as they look at each other, they can get together and live together, and there is no need for any formal wedding ceremony.
Sinestra and Senegos had long known about the growing relationship between their daughter (granddaughter) and Sharlayan, and they had already acquiesced in their hearts that they would spend the long life of dragons together.
After passing these two levels, the most difficult task comes.
Inas needs to convince Daelin and Catherine to let Jaina, the princess of Kul Tiras, give up her orthodox status in the traditional mortal marriage concept like everyone else, otherwise it will be difficult to balance this bowl of water.
The first three people together took Inas just over half a month, most of which was still spent on the road.
When it was the turn of the Proudmoore royal family, Inas spent half a year of persuasion and persuasion before she finally persuaded the stubborn Daelin.
This is because Inas came up with a roundabout strategy to save the country, first persuading the soft-hearted Queen Catherine and Lady Priscilla Ashvane to blow the pillow.
And Jaina was very cooperative. She stated many times in front of her father that she only recognized Sarlayan, and if she couldn't be with him, she would rather never marry.
Inas's three-dimensional offensive made Dailin's head as big as a bucket. The longer the time went on, the more he felt like "the whole world is his enemy".
After half a year of repeated push and pull, Dailin finally relented, taking advantage of the opportunity of Sarlayan and Calia to join forces to restore normal trade networks among the countries in the Eastern Continent and plan to rebuild the alliance.
More than half a year of hard work finally paid off. Inas happily returned to Unicorn City with the good news. She immediately summoned four of Sarlayan's confidantes and told them the news.
Onyxia and Stellagosa no longer care about this. They are both dragons, and they have accepted the dragon concept of mates since they were young.
The two of them had already identified with Sarlayan in their hearts, and now it was nothing more than formalizing their relationship.
After more than half a year of buffering, Valeera and Jaina have already been psychologically prepared by Inas.
On the premise that none of the four objected, Inas, whose long-cherished wish had finally come true, happily rushed into Sarlayan's office and gave him a big surprise.
Literal surprise, both surprising and joyful.
[Holy shit! I’m so envious! Why don’t I have such a capable mother! 】
[Xiao Sa, why don’t you say thank you to your mother! Sitting at home, you can get four wives delivered to your door by your mother. Please give me a dozen of these mothers! 】
Sarlayan: "...That's enough for you."
Because he lived with three humanoid dragons all year round, Sarlayan was inevitably influenced by them in some aspects, and he had a very indifferent view of the so-called sense of status and ritual.
After the initial surprise gradually subsided, Sarlayan quickly regained his composure, and complained to his mother in a state of laughter and tears: "So, is this why you put aside your important work in the laboratory to fish all day long?"
Inasi slapped Sarlayan on the head angrily: "What are you talking about? This is business! At worst, I will be in seclusion in the laboratory from tomorrow until I come up with the final results."
"No."
Sarlayan hurriedly waved his hands with a wry smile: "Then dad won't tear me to pieces alive, you should just keep the normal schedule of nine to five. At most, you can work overtime occasionally, and you should try your best to go home and spend time with dad every day.
Reunion.”
"Ha~"
Inas curled her lips disdainfully: "Julian? What qualifications does he have to criticize me? He doesn't spend more time than I do when he is away from home on business?"
Sarlayan shrugged helplessly: "Forget it, this is a matter between the two of you. I'd better not interrupt. You can make arrangements yourself."
"so……"
Sarlayan ignored the barrage that flew by like a frying pan, scratched his head and looked at the four women lined up in a row with some embarrassment.
"Does this make our relationship official?"
"yes."
Inas said with a wicked smile: "Stop busying yourself with the never-ending official duties all day long, and spend more time giving me some grandchildren."
"...Nowhere can it be that fast."
…
Sarlayan originally thought that after confirming his relationship with Valeela, his life would undergo some changes that he would not be able to adapt to for the time being.
Facts have proved that there are changes. There is an additional thing called schedule at night, but it really doesn’t have much impact on daily life during the day.
Oh, no, there are still some.
After learning the taste of marrow, Onyxia, who was the most liberal in this regard, would sneak up to seduce Sharlayan from time to time during the day.
However, most of the time she would be caught and scolded by Valeela, who was unanimously elected to be in charge of "discipline", which would cause a lot of drama.
After transforming from a boy into a real man, the excess life force in Sarlayan's body was finally released.
According to private accounts from Valeera and Jaina, who were still mortals, they seemed to have received some benefits from this, and they obviously felt that their vitality had been enhanced.
This seemingly minor matter also involves a promise made by Inas when she persuaded Delin.
As a descendant of the dragon clan, Sarlayan's lifespan is endless.
If Jaina cannot break through the limits of a mortal and become a demigod, even if there is arcane magic to extend her life, her lifespan will only be 200 years old at most, and she will need to spend a lot of mana on a daily basis to maintain her youth.
Inas promised Daelin and Catherine that she would find a way to solve the problem of Jaina's lifespan as soon as possible so that she could stay with Sarlayan forever.
Inas, who specializes in biogenetic engineering, is not just talking about it. She adjusted Sarlayan's genes herself, and she is well aware of the role that Sarlayan's life essence can play.
Since it involves river crabs, it is difficult for Inas to explain it in detail to Sarlayan and others.
In a word, Sarlayan's life essence can slowly and continuously enhance the vitality of partners, extending their life and maintaining their youth in disguise.
This can buy more time for Inas and Jaina, who has the shortest natural lifespan. It depends on whether Inas's genetic engineering experiment will bear fruit first, or whether the genius Jaina will break through and become a demigod first.
After gradually adapting to the night schedule, Sarlayan was able to taste the benefits once he was released. Now he is a little uncomfortable sleeping alone at night.
As Sarlayan formally established her relationship with her four confidantes, Inas's "restriction order" was lifted.
The matter of rebuilding the alliance is still in the process of being brewed, and Sharlayan, who has regained his freedom, plans to rush to an invitation that was sent several years ago - an invitation from the prophet Velen.
