Except for the prophet Zul and the princess Talanji, who had been in love with Rastakhan for many years, no one knew that Rastakhan's decadence was staged, and the same was true for Vol'jin.
The latest information about Zandalar that Sharlayan learned came from Vol'jin. Before Vol'jin came into contact with Zandalari's core secrets, he could not have foreseen Rastakhan's true intentions.
Bwonsamdi's strength has made great progress since he devoured the essence of the first-generation Death Loa Mu'ezala.
However, Bwonsamdi, who returned from the Shadow Realm, was uncharacteristically different and did not go around teasing Zandalari's many Loa colleagues as usual.
In recent years, he has been squatting in the Hades. Except for a few insiders such as Sarlayan, no one knows what this smooth guy is doing.
Rastakhan was not sure what Bwonsamdi was thinking, so he specially arranged for his daughter Talanji to test it out.
In fact, Bwonsamdi didn't mean to pretend to be serious, he was just trying to digest the death power left by Mu'ezala.
Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
When Rastakhan, who had other plans behind his back, started a new action, Sarlayan, who was far away in Unicorn City, just said goodbye to his family and set off alone.
According to the original plan, he next went to Draenor to deal with follow-up matters related to Rukhmar.
After the vacation, Jaina will return to Dalaran to continue assisting Ronin and prepare to deal the final blow to Modera.
Valeera was worried that Jaina, who had not been familiar with general affairs since she was a child, would get involved in such a political struggle of this level.
Anyway, Sharlayan's trip shouldn't take too long for the time being. In order to prevent Modra from jumping over the wall in a hurry, she simply volunteered to go to Dalaran with Jaina.
After Tinagosa learned of Valeela's plan, she jumped out and applied to accompany her.
As a result, Jaina returned to Dalaran with two more disguised followers.
Onyxia, who is usually very lazy, has no intention of being idle.
As Nefarian's biological sister, Onyxia understands her scheming brother better than anyone else.
Although it was still unclear what Nefarian wanted to gain from Sharlayan, Onyxia was at least certain that that guy would never conclude this deal honestly.
There is a high probability that Nefarian will make some small moves behind the scenes, and he also calls it "testing" whether Sarlayan is qualified to make a deal with him.
Since she had guessed in advance that Nefarian might be up to something, Onyxia, who was also very thoughtful, would certainly not let him do whatever he wanted. She wanted to help Sarlayan remove those unstable factors that might threaten him in advance.
Onyxia, who is awake in the world, sees clearly that her stable life so far is based on the survival of Sarlayan. She will never allow anyone to threaten Sarlayan's life, even Nefarian.
And Deathwing is no exception.
If it's really necessary, she doesn't mind killing her parents for the sake of her own happiness.
Stellagosa originally planned to accompany Sharlayan to Draenor, but considering that her realm was not particularly stable, after discussions at the family meeting, everyone agreed that it was better to let the little star stay in the territory to consolidate her power.
After entering the demigod realm, Stellagosa will no longer be restricted by insufficient energy.
Through the teleports she opened, Sharlayan appeared directly in the teleportation tower of Watchfort in the Cursed Lands.
Without wasting time to exchange greetings with the Stormwind Kingdom officers who came over to try to get close to him, Sarlayan quickly and resolutely passed through the Dark Portal on the pretext that he had important things to do, and once again arrived at Draenor, which he had not seen in recent years.
Before setting off, Sharlayan notified Rukhmar of Lobusno in advance to transfer her soul from the Emerald Dream to Zloth, the subplane of death bound to her own soul.
After the Blighted Realm merged with the Hell Abyss captured from Hela, it has effectively escaped the jurisdiction of Azeroth. Wherever Sarlayan goes, the subplane bound to his soul will follow him.
Where to.
Sarlayan transformed into the fastest flying sharp-tailed swift and flew quickly to the southwest of the Hellfire Peninsula.
Compared with a year ago, the state of Arak Peaks is even worse.
Except for the highest Tongtian Peak, almost the entire peak forest area has sunk into the sea due to continuous crustal movement.
In other words, Tongtian Peak today is like an isolated island in the sea.
The Anhal people trapped in their nest have almost completely lost their living space, and their only hope is to abandon this capital city that has long been worthless.
It is difficult for Sharlayan to understand the arakkoa's brain circuits. They would rather die than "complicit" with the Skettis arakkoa who have fallen for themselves.
That's right, the senior leaders of the Anhal people believe that leaving Sky Summit and returning to life on the ground is a "degenerate" act.
As food became less and less day by day, except for the nobles and priests who still had resources to allocate, the civilians of the Anhal people finally couldn't bear the hunger and began to flee from Tongtian Peak on a large scale.
The angry Anhal priests tried to kill the chickens to scare the monkeys, but it was of no use.
A large number of Anhar civilians fled to the ruins of Auchindoun in the north regardless of casualties, and were sent to Shattrath City for refuge under the arrangements of the Draenei and Skettis Ravens.
When Sarlayan and Rukhmar returned, they saw such a chaotic scene.
"Succumbing to self-destruction?"
Rukhma, who has always been mild-tempered, rarely released his anger.
"It is not the people who are striving for survival who are willing to fall, but these stupid priests who have already strayed from the right path!"
"calm."
Sharlayan has long known the folly of the priests of Anhar.
This is not the first time that they have gone crazy, otherwise the leader of the arakkoa who hopes to revive the Apexis civilization - Terokk, King of the Claws, would not have been exiled from Babel Peak by using political struggle.
"Don't worry about those idiots for now. The most urgent thing is that we must get your body back first."
"Hu~hu~"
The furious Rukhma took several deep breaths to suppress the boiling anger in his heart.
Rukhmar gave everything she had for the continuation of the Apexis civilization. She did not expect that after her death, the once smart and diligent arakkoa would degenerate to this point.
Rukhma's mood was not just pure anger, but also an indescribable sadness.
Rukhma's current soul form cannot even appear in the world for a long time. She must first get back the body that was made into a zombie by the arakkoa.
Rukhma's zombie body was not affected by the sinking of the Arak Peaks, and was still soaring tirelessly over the peaks that had sunk into the sea.
To get Rukhmar's body back, Sharlayan must first subdue the zombie and erase the half-finished artificial soul that the arakkoa injected into it.
"Rukhma, lend me your power."
"no problem!"
Rukhma's soul was temporarily attached to Sarlayan's body. Under the influence of her continuous injection of soul power and light power, Sarlayan's sharp-tailed swift form was automatically released and turned into a body burning.
Beautiful big bird with golden red flames.
"Bah!
"
As the firebirds fluttered and soared, the clear bird song echoed throughout the countryside. The Skettis arakkoa who were busy sheltering the civilians of Anhal subconsciously raised their heads and looked at the distant sky.
"That's...Rukhma?"
Compared with the Anhal people who still maintain their faith in Rukhmar, Skettis, who has parted ways with the Sky Peak long ago, now values Anzu, the crow god, more.
But that doesn't mean they don't know Rukhma... After all, the firebird is still lingering over Tongtian Peak.
What surprised the two groups of Crow People was that there were actually two "Rukhma" in the sky above the Arak Peak Forest at this moment.
After that, something even more unexpected happened.
Since Rukhmar's death, Anzu, the crow god who has long been cursed by Setai, the wind serpent, has been reclusive and rarely appears in public.
However, at this time, Ansu, who had always been invisible to the dragon, actually jumped out on his own initiative.
Having long since lost his wings, he was jumping around on the ground in vain like a free-roaming chicken. His eyes filled with tears were looking at the sky without blinking, and he was babbling incoherently.
"Hiss~"
Sarlayan, who was planning to get rid of the Rukhmar zombies as soon as possible, suddenly felt a chill all over his body. He always felt like someone was looking at him with overly enthusiastic eyes.
Rukhma, who temporarily shared a body with Sarlayan, also felt this eager gaze, and said with some nostalgia: "This familiar gaze... it should be Ansu."
"Forget it, leave him alone for now, wait until I get my body back and then we can have a good time reminiscing with him."
"Salayan, are you ready?"
"certainly."
Sarlayan flapped his wings covered with fire feathers slowly and slowly, gradually becoming familiar with this still unfamiliar body.
"Get rid of it as soon as possible. It feels weird having two souls sharing the same body."
