Chapter 1048 The idea of unblocking the Dragon Islands
Live broadcast: Chapter 1048 of Azeroth: The idea of unblocking the Dragon Islands
For anyone, home is an irreplaceable and beautiful existence.
Before the Earth-shattering 10,000 years ago, Wyrmrest Temple was just the office of the Dragon Clan. Their home was located in the adjacent Dragon Sanctuary in the eastern part of Northrend.
After the explosion of the Well of Eternity, the Dragon Sanctuary, like other continents, was separated from the ancient continent of Kalimdor and became the Dragon Islands today.
Affected by the explosion of the Well of Eternity, the elemental magic power that maintained the operation of the Dragon Sanctuary was consumed.
If the Dragon Isles are allowed to continue to be exposed to Azeroth's atmosphere, sooner or later this region, home to all dragons, will become barren.
No one wants to see their hometown die slowly, so Alexstrasza had no choice but to order the sealing of the entire island.
Before leaving, the dragon entrusted a group of stone guardians to stay on the island so that they could monitor the changes in elemental energy on the island at any time and look forward to returning home one day.
As a result, this journey lasted for ten thousand years, and the guardians who stayed on the Dragon Islands never sent out any signals, which meant that the elemental environment in the Dragon Islands remained unchanged.
If the Dragon Islands are forcibly unsealed without sufficient preparation in advance, it will have a devastating impact on this hometown that all dragons miss so much. This is obviously something Alexstrasza does not want to see.
Alexstrasza is not surprised that Sarlayan knows about the Dragon Islands that were sealed thousands of years ago.
After all, Onyxia also grew up in the Dragon Islands when she was a child, and she will retain some memories of her hometown.
As Onyxia's partner, it is not surprising that Sharlayan heard about the existence of the Dragon Islands from her and Yinasi.
But Alexstrasza would never allow Sarlayan to rashly unblock the Dragon Islands without preparation. She, who had always been very optimistic about Sarlayan's future, showed a rare and extremely stern expression.
Sarlayan was not frightened by the sudden change of face of the Red Dragon Queen. Since he dared to bring up this topic, it meant that he was well prepared accordingly.
In fact, Sarlayan did not learn about the information about the Dragon Islands through Onyxia and Yinasi, but was only informed in detail by the barrage some time ago.
As Alexstrasza said, the elemental energy in the Dragon Islands was lost in large quantities as early as the Great Sundering. If it cannot be replenished, this once vibrant land will sooner or later be reduced to a barren wasteland.
At this stage, Sarlayan is not completely sure that he can restore the elemental energy of the Dragon Islands, but it will be different in the future.
Sarlayan has not personally been to the Dragon Islands, but he can feel from the words written by his mother and Onyxia their incomparable nostalgia for the true hometown of the dragons.
As a member of the dragon clan, Sharlayan naturally wants to fulfill the wishes of his mother and partner.
Therefore, after discussing with Barrage, Sarlayan finally made up his mind to allow Deathwing and En'Zoth to set off the elemental tide that could lead to a catastrophe, so that elemental energy could refill the Dragon Islands.
In the original history known to Danmu, the Dragon Islands had actually regained their vitality after the Cataclysm.
However, the watchers who were left by Alexstrasza to report the message to the Dragon Islands all fell into a deep sleep under the erosion of time for thousands of years. It was not until many years after the Cataclysm that they finally woke up and sent a signal to the outside world.
Sharlayan didn't know if Deathwing and En'Zoth planned the Elemental Tide to unblock the Dragon Islands. At least in terms of results, this elemental tide sweeping across Azeroth would help the Dragon Islands return.
However, Sharlayan will not let the entire Azeroth suffer the countless disasters caused by the Cataclysm in order to liberate the Dragon Islands.
He placed his hope on Nobundo, the leader of the Draini shaman, hoping that he could find a way to avoid the eruption of elemental tides and triggering large-scale geological disasters.
Not only Nobundo, but once Guyin's fate is determined, Sharlayan also plans to seek help from the oldest shaman in the new tribe, the blind old shaman Drek'tar of the Frostwolf clan.
"Elemental tide? Cataclysm?"
After listening to Sarlayan's coherent explanation, Alexstrasza looked at the gloomy sky outside Wyrmrest Temple in a daze.
It was already December of the 15th year of Black Gate. Winter had already entered the Keel Wilderness in the Arctic, and goose-feather-like snow was falling from the dim sky.
"Neltharion, even if your mind has long been driven crazy by the corruption of the ancient gods, do you still miss our hometown deep in your heart?"
…Can the eldest cousin also clear his name?】
This is considered a whitewashing of Mao. Deathwing cannot be whitewashed. This only shows that the nostalgia for his hometown still remains deep in his crazy brain, nothing more.]
So the return of the Dragon Islands has to wait until the cataclysm comes? Can we only be so passive?]
if not?】
Two of the four elements stand on the side of the Ancient God and the Big Cousin, and one appears to be neutral on the surface. In fact, deep down deep down, he does not want the elemental world to reconnect with the material world.]
Only Tidehunter Neptulon clearly supports the Defenders of Azeroth camp. What can Sharlayan do to actively trigger the elemental tide?]
The wise Red Dragon Queen could obviously understand this truth. She forcibly suppressed her inner expectations and excitement and let out a long breath.
"Thank you, Sarlayan. Although it is not the time yet, you at least gave us a hope of returning home."
Sarlayan smiled and bowed: "This is my responsibility as a member of the dragon clan. I also want to see how beautiful the Ornhara Plain is, which my mother often talks about."
According to the information provided by the barrage, there are four main areas in the Dragon Islands.
The Awakening Coast is the home of red dragons and black dragons. Blue dragons once settled in the blue forest sea. Thordrasus is the hometown of bronze dragons and the seat of the Dragon Aspect Throne.
Yin Nasi, who has the blood of green dragons and red dragons, grew up in the Ounhara Plain, the hometown of the green dragon, when she was a child. She still misses the Ounhara Plain from time to time, which is nourished by wind and flowing water all year round.
Oun'hara is a wilderness demigod in the form of a giant eagle. She controls the powerful power of wind, which is also the origin of the name of the Oun'hara Plain.
The hometown of the green dragon is located in the Emerald Garden area in the west of the Ounhara Plain.
In ancient times, the green dragon once had a conflict with the centaur tribe protected by Ornhara in this plain area, but in the end the two sides chose to shake hands and make peace, and concluded a long-term peace and mutual assistance contract.
Sarlayan's desire to unblock the Dragon Islands was not just to satisfy the dragon clan's dream of returning home, but also had a more serious purpose behind it.
The five oath stones that are the source of power for the five dragon clans are still sealed in the Dragon Islands.
Due to various reasons, these oath stones have long since expired, thus affecting the strength of all dragon clans including the five guardian dragons.
If these Oath Stones can be reactivated, the strength of the Dragon Clan, which is now the backbone of Azeroth's guardian force, will be further strengthened. This is definitely a good thing for Azeroth, which is about to enter a precarious period.
Another point is that the red jade rebirth pool where the red dragon clan, which controls the power of life, cultivates all dragon descendants is also located on the Awakening Coast of the Dragon Islands.
If the ruby rebirth magic pool can be reactivated, the long dragon egg incubation time of the dragon clan can be greatly shortened, speeding up the growth time of the new dragon clan in disguise.
Since nothing has been determined yet, Sharlayan only told the news to Alexstrasza, the red dragon queen who was recognized as the leader of the dragon clan.
Alexstrasza knows the importance of this. Before everything is settled, she will not easily announce this news to other dragons. She will only tell Malygos, Nozdormu, Yinsera and Abby quietly.
These dragon kings in Xi'an may be preparing to become dragon kings.
Things on the Dragon Clan's side have come to an end for the time being.
Just as Thalayan was about to return to Quel'Thalas to make final preparations for the upcoming opening of the Dark Portal, the green dragon ambassador Insarios suddenly conveyed to Thalayan the latest news from the Emerald Dragon Holy Land.
Cenarius, who was patrolling Feralas, received news from his adoptive mother and was ready to meet Sharlayan in the Emerald Dream.
After leaving Wyrmrest Temple, Sarlayan rushed to the Emerald Dragon Holy Land without stopping, and fell asleep again under the guidance of the green dragon princess Merinthera who had just returned to the material world.
Entering the Emerald Dream for the third time, Sarlayan gradually got used to it and completed the switch of consciousness almost seamlessly.
When he opened his eyes, he immediately saw the forest demigod Cenarius who had been waiting here in advance.
Cenarius's appearance is very similar to that of his son Remulos. He has an upper body that resembles a night elf, but his lower body is that of a four-legged stag, with rather flamboyant antlers on his head.
Just sitting in front of Cenarius, Sarlayan could feel the extremely rich power of life naturally overflowing from his body.
Although Cenarius is always ridiculed by the barrage as a weakling, he is the closest to mortals among all the demigods. He usually does not put on the airs of being a wilderness demigod and is much easier to get along with than Goldrinn.
"First meeting, Goldrinn's Keeper."
Cenarius smiled and greeted Sarlayan who was looking at him gently: "I have heard about you from Malfurion a long time ago. As for me... I shouldn't need to introduce myself anymore, right?"
Sarlayan stood up politely and bowed to Cenarius. This was the etiquette he should have when facing the demigod of the wilderness whose life form was higher than his own.
"It is an honor to receive your response, forest demigod Cenarius."
Cenarius casually waved his big twig-like hands: "Forget about these common etiquette in the mortal world. Son of Nastrasza, we might as well get straight to the point."
Sarlayan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Cenarius' temper to be so cheerful.
"It's just what I want, so I won't be polite."
At Cenarius's signal, Sarlayan sat back down again, and Melinsela also sat on one side to listen to the whole process on behalf of the green dragon clan.
Sarlayan said straight to the point: "The reason why I entrusted Your Majesty Yin Sera to help contact you is for the upcoming invasion of the Burning Legion again."
