The top management of the arakkoa, headed by Rilak and Aigis, can be considered as waking up in the world, and they are in the sky and the earth with the high-ranking arakkoa leader Virix who was deeply involved in the ideological dispute.
As leaders of the race, Rilac and Aigis's rational speeches made Elisande more optimistic about the future of the arakkoa clan.
With such two wise and calm leaders at the helm, the arakkoa, which already possesses the Apexis civilization, will rise again sooner or later.
The biggest problem restricting the arakkoa now is population.
During the tragic orc invasion that year, Kargath's Shattered Hand clan dealt a devastating blow to the Sky Summit, and not even one high-level arakkoa survived.
Not to mention the Skettis arakkoa, who are called exiles, are also living a miserable life.
Without sufficient resources to support them, the population growth rate of the arakkoa people will naturally not increase.
But in fact, the fertility of the arakkoa, who inherited some of the characteristics of birds, is not bad.
As long as they are given some time to recuperate, Sharlayan believes that the arakkoa will sooner or later become one of the important puzzle pieces for protecting Azeroth.
With Rukhmar and Anzu, the patron saints representing the two major sects respectively, in charge, Anhal and the Skettis arakkoa, who were once at odds with each other, finally had the intention to put aside their past prejudices and cooperate again after going through many hardships.
.
Since it was decided to unite the forces of the two factions of the arakkoa to re-establish a unified country, the name of the country naturally became the focus of discussions among the top brass of the arakkoa.
In the end, Anzu, who was impatient to argue, made the decision to continue using the name of the glorious empire established by the ancestors of the arakkoa - Apexis.
While the Apexis arakkoa were piecing together the parts of Rukhmar's Breath and exploring other small islands around the main island, a high-ranking arakkoa who was responsible for keeping watch over the island suddenly issued a warning.
A small island floating on the sea is approaching the Lost Islands at an alarming speed. If there is no accident on the way, it will collide with the affiliated island where the arakkoa are temporarily staying in one day at the latest.
The vast majority of Draenor races are completely terrestrial civilizations, and their understanding of the ocean is extremely shallow, and the arakkoa are no exception.
"Island, why is it moving?! And it's so fast!"
Aigis scratched the feathers on his head vigorously, with an expression doubtful about life.
Sarlayan slapped the claw king on the shoulder in a funny way: "Don't be nervous, we are one of our own."
Elisande lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then showed a look of surprise: "So that's it, it's the Wandering Island you mentioned in our chat before, right?"
Before the pandaren pulled up the Mist and shut themselves away, Elisande had many contacts with their ancestors.
Although she has also been self-isolated for tens of thousands of years, since Suramar was unsealed, Elisande has been trying to get familiar with this Azeroth that is already very strange to her.
The Grand Magister also learned about the Wandering Island from Sarlayan, but that happened several years ago.
"I blame me for not making it clear."
Sarlayan apologized and explained to the somewhat confused Crow People: "The so-called Wandering Island is actually a small island that can be moved on the back of a giant sea turtle."
"I have other important things to do. I must go to a mysterious continent called Pandaria with the help of the giant turtle named Shenzhenzi."
"For the time being, just settle the people who are coming one after another in the Lost Islands. I will have Quel'Thalas' transport ships transport all the resources you need for development as soon as possible."
"Pandaria?" Elisande interjected with interest: "I haven't been there for tens of thousands of years. Can you take me with you?"
"This..." Sarlayan hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement: "That's okay, but I may not have time to be your travel guide. You can do it yourself after entering Pandaria."
"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot something."
Sarlayan's expression suddenly became serious: "Perhaps you have heard to some extent that Pandaria is different from other areas of Azeroth. The land there has emotional fluctuations."
Elisande's eyes flashed: "So, is that rumor from back then true? The remains of Y'Shaarj are still affecting Pandaria to this day?"
"Yes." Sarlayan solemnly reminded: "When you travel in Pandaria, you must pay attention to controlling your negative emotions, otherwise the evil spirit will take the initiative to find you."
"The Sha is the curse left to Pandaria by the remains of Y'Shaarj. Before I can deal with the problem of the seven evils, I must manage my personal emotions well."
Elisande heard the implication of Sarlayan's words, narrowed his eyes and asked meaningfully: "In other words, you plan to completely solve the problems left by Y'shaarj through this trip to Pandaria?"
"That is the remains of the ancient god that even the Titans have not been able to completely solve. Are you sure?"
Sarlayan shook his head and said cautiously: "I can't guarantee 100%, but the situation has developed to this point, and the previous gentle strategy is no longer applicable. I can only bite the bullet and cut through the mess quickly."
"Why"
Sarlayan sighed with a somewhat complicated mood: "I hope this will not affect the originally harmonious relationship between the high elves and the Pandaria pandaren."
…
Just as Sarlayan said, the rapidly approaching Wandering Island quickly slowed down its movement speed and finally docked steadily near the Lost Islands.
Stellagosa activated the spatial coordinates engraved on Sarlayan's body and teleported him with Shang Xi, the monk leader of Wuchen Temple.
Sarlayan politely saluted Shang Xi, who had some gray hair on his temples, and said, "Master Shang Xi, I haven't seen you for several years. How are you always?"
"hehe"
Although Shang Xi is gradually showing his age, he is still full of energy and returns the fist salute with a smile.
"My health is not bad, but the monkeys on the island always don't let me worry about it."
"I have heard the specific situation from Stellagosa."
After the simple greetings, Shang Xi quickly brought the topic to the point.
"The situation is urgent. Let's set off now. Do you need to prepare anything else?"
Sarlayan shook his head: "Everything that needs to be arranged has been arranged, let's set off now."
"Although this trip to Pandaria will definitely offend Emperor Shaohao, I can't worry about that much right now."
"Yes." Shang Xi nodded approvingly: "Follow the right in urgent matters. As the leader who controls the future direction of Azeroth, you must learn to make choices."
"Emperor Shaohao...I have also heard many rumors about him."
Shang Xi made a meaningful comment with a profound look: "Emperor Shaohao really deserves the most credit for protecting Pandaria from the invasion of the Burning Legion thousands of years ago."
"However, as the historical documents recorded by Pandaren Lorewalkers say, he was never able to let go of his inner arrogance."
"Emperor Shaohao, he believes that only he can protect Pandaria, and stubbornly refuses to believe that others have this ability... or even do it better than him."
"And this is his greatest arrogance and the fundamental reason why he was unable to seal the Evil of Proud back then."
In terms of age, Shang Xi is far inferior to those long-lived immortal species, nor can he compare to Shaohao who has existed in the form of a soul for more than ten thousand years.
However, the practice of monks has always focused on tempering the state of mind. As a generation of masters, Shang Xi has already entered the advanced realm of knowing one's mind and one's nature.
Perhaps Shang Xi's combat prowess is not top-notch, but his understanding of the nature of things is far superior to that of some Tie Hanhan who has lived for thousands of years.
Today’s insult to Thailand 1/1.]
There is a saying that there is nothing wrong with Master Shang Xi’s analysis, and Shaohao’s arrogance stems from this.】
So Xiao Sa is planning to give up talking and persuade people more directly with "reason"?]
Loken's steel army is about to take advantage of him, so what big reason can he talk about now? Efficiency is the most important thing.]
If Shaohao is still stubborn and refuses to listen, we can only let him experience what physical persuasion is.】
"Shaohao..."
After bidding farewell to Anzu and all the arakkoa, following Sharlayan, Monk Stellagosa boarded the Wandering Island and headed to the Temple of the Five Mornings. Elisande rubbed the center of his brow thoughtfully.
"I still remember this name. He was the leader of the Pandaria Pandaren long before the Skyfall. I remember... the Pandaren seem to call their leader the Emperor?"
"Yes, the last emperor Shaohao."
While waving to say hello to the acquaintances he had met on Wandering Island, Sarlayan explained to Elisande: "Shaohao was the last emperor of the pandaren. After him, the pandas adopted a
This...should be considered a republican form of government?"
Shang Xi smiled and raised his own question: "Is it really a republic?"
"It is true that the emperor who makes decisions no longer exists, but the legitimacy of the ruling body of the Golden Lotus has never been shaken, and the Shado-Pan serves as a power similar to the military of other countries."
"Since I returned home last time, I have had a doubt about Pandaria's political system."
Shang Xi said with deep meaning: "Since Emperor Shaohao's soul is still there, if he has different views on the current political situation in Pandaria, can the seemingly independent Golden Lotus Sect really go against his wishes?"
"To put it more bluntly, since the Golden Lotus is the highest governing body in Pandaria's de facto sense, now that the Burning Legion has long since retreated, why don't they order Shaohao, who has nominally abdicated, to lift the fog?"
"Do you really not want Pandaria to reconnect with the world, or do you mean...don't dare to question Shaohao's decision?"
Shang Xi said casually, seemingly jokingly: "So what does this mean? The Supreme Emperor?"
