It may sound a bit arrogant, but actually Yrel is aware of his own powerful potential.
When he was still studying with Velen, the spiritual leader who had led the draenei for tens of thousands of years expressed his expectations for Yrel more than once.
Velen didn't want Yrel to be blind and arrogant, but he didn't say it out loud, but anyone with a bit of discernment could see that the prophet trained Yrel as his successor.
However, God did not follow his wishes. Due to an accidental disability during the war, young Yrel failed to grow to the height Velen expected, and fell to the earth early before he could spread his wings and fly to the highest point.
In his tens of thousands of years of escaping, Velen has seen too many cases of geniuses dying, but this time it still made him feel very sad.
However, as the prophet who carries the burden of the entire race and the spiritual leader of the entire race, Velen cannot stop because of one person falling behind. He can only pick up his mood and continue to lead his tribe forward.
The draenei were introduced to Azeroth by Sarlayan himself. Although he met and talked with Velen only a few times, Sarlayan could tell that this wise and kind old man was a truly respected person.
His character is absolutely trustworthy.
After experiencing the greenskin craze that swept Draenor, the Draenei, who had already settled in the new world and initially saw hope for revival, suffered heavy losses again.
The highest governing body, the Council of Bishops, fell apart, and a large number of innocent tribesmen were captured by the orcs and used as biological batteries to recharge the Dark Portal.
The draenei who survived by chance also hid in a hurry. Until the Alliance expeditionary force counterattacked to Draenor, the draenei could not see at all under the continued oppression of the orcs... and the remote-controlled Burning Legion hiding behind them.
To raise hope.
After finally moving to Azeroth, which has planetary barrier protection and is relatively stable, the draenei can finally rest and recuperate in peace.
However, many problems plaguing Velen have still not been resolved, and the first one to bear the brunt is the training of heirs.
Velen is already tens of thousands of years old, which is long enough even for a demigod with infinite lifespan.
Because he is beyond the mortal life form, Velen will continue to survive in the foreseeable future. However, after leading his people to run around for thousands of years, Velen's body and mind are already exhausted.
Ever since Guinedal fell to Draenor, Velen has lost his original ability to foresee for unknown reasons.
This is like a person who is used to seeing the world with open eyes suddenly going blind. For a long time, the suddenly "blind" prophet was at a loss and could only adopt cautious and conservative strategies as much as possible.
Unfortunately, for the orcs who worship the strong and despise the weak, Velen's "cowardly" attitude happens to be what they look down upon the most.
Because they showed weakness to the enemy and lost the opportunity, despite having more advanced technology and weapons and equipment, the Draenei were actually taken away by a wave of greenskin frenzy and almost completely wiped out the entire race on the remote planet of Draenor.
This major decision-making mistake left an indelible shadow in Velen's heart, and he began to wonder whether his traditional governance style was no longer suitable for today's era and the current draenei people.
Therefore, Velen is eager to find a young and energetic successor.
Naturally, he considered Yrel, whom he had been extremely optimistic about.
However, ever since Yrel's right leg was disabled, the child has fallen into a troublesome cycle.
She became obsessed with fighting with injuries, ignoring those things that she needed to master as a racial leader.
Velen "exiled" Yrel to Falanlon, not only to let her rest in peace and recuperate, but also to hope that she could figure out what she really needs to learn in a peaceful life, and no longer be limited to temporary gains and losses.
.
Unfortunately, the young and stubborn Yrel failed to understand Velen's good intentions.
Over the years, Yrel's personal strength has continued to grow steadily through hard work, but her naive thinking pattern has never been able to turn around.
In this competition challenge series designed by Sarlayan, the smug Yrel originally thought that he could fight to the end, or at least force Sarlayan to take action himself.
However, the cruel reality dealt her a heavy blow.
Yrel couldn't even pass the second level guarded by Valeela, who was also just a mortal, let alone the blue dragon, black dragon and Sharlayan who were extraordinary species.
After working hard for more than ten years, he received this kind of blow. After the defeat, Yrel was obviously in a very low mood.
However, this is exactly what Sarlayan wants to see. If this iron-headed boy is not allowed to learn a lesson, she will probably continue to work foolishly to improve her personal strength.
After the villagers of Farallon who came out to watch the excitement dispersed, Sarlayan signaled to Valeera and others with his eyes.
Stellagosa consciously took her sister from Sharlayan's shoulders, and left the village square with Valeera, Jaina, and Onyxia.
Yrel was still lowering his head and frowning at this moment, as if he was reviewing the previous battle, trying to find out the reason for his defeat.
"Come back to your senses, Iron-headed boy."
Sarlayan raised his fingers and tapped Yrel's blue horns angrily: "Why are you so obsessed with winning a one-on-one battle? Your dream is to be an invincible vanguard general?"
"Uh~"
Yrel was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then hurriedly shook his head and denied: "Of course not, I want to be the light that lights up Delaney's path, just like... Teacher Velen."
"So?" Sarlayan asked with a half-smile: "Even if you can train to defeat all the invincible opponents in the world, are you sure that you can achieve your dream?"
"The light that illuminates the progress of the people. If I understand correctly, you want to become the spiritual leader of the Draenei like your teacher Velen, right?"
Sarlayan's expression became serious: "Yrel, you should think clearly before answering my question."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "As a spiritual leader, is personal combat effectiveness the most important?"
"As the strongest Draenei, will Velen often rush to the front line to show off his powerful fighting power as a senior demigod?"
Yirel's face became a little complicated, and she seemed to be recalling certain scenes in the past.
"No, of course not. The teacher spends most of his time sitting in the rear strategizing, but it is precisely because of this that we are in the war with the orcs..."
"wrong!"
Sharlayan interrupted Yrel's defense sternly: "The defeat of the Draenei to the orcs was not because Velen did not rush to the front line to boost the morale of the entire army!"
"Except for some objective reasons behind it, the defeat was purely due to Velen's decision-making error and had nothing to do with his personal strength!"
Seeing the look of confusion and escape in Yrel's eyes, Sarlayan sighed softly and waved his hand for the tall girl to sit down.
...There is no way, Yrel is too tall, and in the same standing state, Sarlayan has to stand on tiptoe if he wants to pat her on the shoulder. This will look a bit funny and break the original serious atmosphere.
After Yrel sat calmly on the roadside, Sarlayan patted her shoulder armor and said sincerely: "Remember what Velen said to you after you were injured."
"Do you really think that Velen just wants to train you to be a warrior on the battlefield?"
"Archbishop Akama has indeed left, but there is still Maraad who can replace him. Ranger Archbishop Nellie has also returned from injury. Archbishop Maradar is still old and strong, and rising stars such as Onala are also emerging."
"You calm down and ask yourself, what do the draenei lack today? Are they really a warrior who charges forward?"
“What is it that you should really be learning?”
"I……"
Yirel raised his hand and held his right corner with a somewhat painful look on his face: "I'm sorry, please leave me alone for a while, my...mind is very messed up."
Sarlayan knew that too much was too much, so he did not continue to force Yrel, who was trapped in self-doubt, and planned to give her some time to sort out her thoughts.
"Don't worry."
Sarlayan retracted his previous harsh attitude and said softly: "We will stay in Flanlon for about another month. I hope you can come up with an answer that satisfies you before we leave."
"Your mentor, Prophet Velen, is still waiting for you to find your way forward again in Azeroth."
