This "gift" given to Queen Britta is not just a simple compensation, Sarlayan also has another consideration.
Stormheim is Odin's base camp, and the Hall of Valor is suspended above this land.
Even if Odin brings Valhalla back to Ulduar in the future, the faith in Odin and Valhalla in Stormheim will not disappear.
Sarlayan has no intention of competing with Odin for faith, he wants something more practical.
The Tidestealer clan is indeed the largest Vrykul force in Stormheim, but even in its heyday, the Tidesteer clan could only barely subdue the many Vrykul clans that also lived in this land.
After years of civil strife, the strength of the Tidestealer clan has declined instead of increasing. Many clans that have kept a low profile for many years have tried to challenge their dominance in Stormheim.
The Vrykul have always respected the strong. If Sharlayan had not intervened, judging from Queen Brita's physical condition, even if she was lucky enough to give birth to an offspring, she would not be able to protect the tide until the next generation grew up.
clan.
Instead of wasting time and efforts to re-establish a vrykul clan that is close to Quel'Thalas, it is better to lend a hand and re-support the Tidestealer clan, which is already very close to Sharlayan.
Believe in Odin? It doesn't matter. The culture of the Vrykul people does not value divine power. Compared with Odin, they value the ability to continue fighting in the Hall of Valor after death.
Sharlayan needs the vrykul to step forward and help Azeroth in times of crisis.
In this case, Stormheim needs a relatively stable unified regime, and the "Valkyrie" Queen Britta, who knows how to advance and retreat, and knows gains and losses, is the best candidate for leader.
In the foreseeable next few years, the Mianchao clan, which is waiting to be renovated, should make every effort to maintain its current status and territory, and wait until the next generation gradually grows up before embarking on the road of expansion again.
For just a few years, Sarlayan could afford to wait.
If you exchange a few years of waiting for the gratitude and support of a powerful Vrykul regime, this business will definitely be worthwhile.
As Queen Britta herself said, after years of fighting on the battlefield, her body was indeed overstretched and she had long lost the ability to have children again.
The life force given to her by Sharlayan can repair the many hidden wounds in her body, giving her the opportunity to give birth to offspring again and continue the bloodline of the leader of the Miechao clan.
Queen Bretta, who has a high emotional intelligence, will definitely express her gratitude accordingly and tie the Tideskier clan...and even all the vrykul in Stormheim to Quel'Thalas's chariot.
Under the grateful send-off of Queen Breta, Sharlayan and Stellagosa transformed back into dragon forms together, and flew together towards the Hall of Valor suspended in the clouds.
Under normal circumstances, if you want to go to the Hall of Valor, you must be guided by the Val'kyr. After all, most mortals cannot fly.
Sarlayan and Stellagosa did not need to abide by this rule. With Odin's acquiescence, the two broke out of the clouds and appeared directly in front of the gate of the Hall of Valor.
Aiur, King of the Val'kyr, had already been ordered to wait here, and she respectfully welcomed Sharlayan and Stellagosa into the Hall of Valor.
"Mr. Deep Shadow, Ms. Stellagosa, and Lord Odin have been waiting for you two for more than a while."
On the way to the main hall following Al, a large number of Val'kyr and Heroic Spirit warriors lined up on both sides of the road, holding weapons high to welcome the distinguished guests visiting the Hall of Valor.
"The ceremony was quite grand."
Stella Gosa meaningfully communicated with Sarlayan quietly through the soul link: "Does this mean that Odin has changed his attitude towards mortals...or flesh and blood creatures?"
"Maybe." Sarlayan's expression remained calm: "Odin is the military leader of the Titan Guardians, and his style of conduct is simpler and more direct than that of Laden, the leader of the civil service, but this does not mean that he is a brainless fool.
husband."
"Today is different from the past. In the tens of thousands of years since Odin was sealed in the Hall of Valor, Azeroth has undergone earth-shaking changes. It is now the age of mortals in a substantial sense."
"No one can reverse the trend of the times with their own personal power. If you cannot actively adapt to the current environment, you will eventually be abandoned by the times."
"If you continue to hold the position of chief administrator in the mortal era, Odin and his Hall of Valor will inevitably suffer consequences. He himself understands this truth, so it is not surprising that his attitude changes."
"besides……"
Sarlayan said as if he was referring to something: "What I saw yesterday also pushed Odin's plan to make changes."
Stellagosa's eyes flickered slightly: "You mean, Odin saw the entire battle where you destroyed the Tidestealing Rebels?"
To be honest, the chaos yesterday could not be considered a battle at all, because the situation was too one-sided, and Skovard had no power to fight back from the beginning to the end.
Stormheim is Odin's back garden, and Sarlayan's arrival will of course attract the attention of the Val'kyr. Sarlayan has guessed from the beginning that Odin, who has received the news, will hide high in the sky and spy on his every move.
Because of this, he powerfully wiped out all the elite Tideskier rebels led by Skovald, and threw Skovald's soul into the Shadow Realm for arbitration in front of Odin.
To put it bluntly, Sarlayan was deliberately flexing his muscles so that Odin could correct his attitude in advance before the meeting.
Now Sarlayan is no longer the transparent little person he was a few years ago who could only be respectful in front of Odin.
After Sarlayan and Little Star were welcomed into the mead hall by a large number of heroic warriors and Val'kyr, Odin who was waiting there immediately let out a loud and heroic laugh.
"Look who's here! Sarlayan, my old friend, long time no see!"
…This guy’s attitude changes really quickly.】
I still like your unruly look back then.】
Sarlayan was also a little uncomfortable with Odin's too obvious change in attitude. He originally thought that Odin would at least maintain the most basic reserve of being the chief manager.
'Could it be?'
Noticing the meaningful look in Odin's one eye, Thalayan felt relieved.
'I see.'
Although he doesn't like unnecessary pleasantries, with Sarlayan's current identity and status, it is inevitable to make fun of him when the occasion arises.
"Chief Manager Odin, we haven't seen each other for several years."
"How many years? Haha." Odin smiled meaningfully: "I wasn't sure when we last met, but now it seems... the first time I heard about you should have been tens of thousands of years ago.
Around the time the Dark Empire fell, right?”
Al, who returned behind Odin, had a look of surprise on his face. Odin's shocking words caused a small commotion in the mead hall.
Al frowned slightly as he looked at Sarlayan and Stellagosa, who had very young faces.
'According to the information collected by Val'kyr over the years, the history of the elves is less than 20,000 years old. The dragon family is longer, but it is far from the era when the Dark Empire still exists. How on earth is this going on?
thing?'
Stellagosa also had a strange look in her eyes, only Sarlayan still smiled calmly.
"Indeed, but at that time I only saw you from a distance, Thorim and Hodir's heroic appearance on the battlefield, but I didn't meet directly."
"Harmful"
Odin smiled and waved his hand indifferently: "If it weren't for the important help you provided by sneaking into the city of Ahn'Qiraj, we wouldn't have been able to capture C'Thun so quickly."
"After the war, Mimiron and Freya mentioned you and the girl named Valeera to me many times. Unfortunately, for some reason, when talking about specific details, those two people would start to care.
Talk about him from left to right."
"Now I finally understand... Is it the fault of that guy from Nozdormu?"
After receiving Sarlayan's recognition with a smile and a nod, Odin said with some emotion: "It's a shame that none of us Titan Guardians can inherit the time power of the Father of the Gods. The emergence of Nozdormu finally made up for the loss.
Xerath has a vacancy in this area."
'Time power?!'
After hearing this, Al was stunned for a few seconds before showing a look of astonishment: 'So that's it, no wonder...'
Under Odin's mead and feast of fish and meat, Sarlayan and Stellagosa were able to temporarily blend into the Vrykul-style wild banquet.
After drinking most of the heroic warriors who took the initiative to propose a toast, Sarlayan was still there with his old spirit, and not even a hint of wine red could be seen on his face.
After three rounds of drinking, Odin and El, who were neither drunk at all, took Sharlayan and Stellagosa to the arena behind the mead hall to "talk" about business.
A heroic warrior with a majestic physique and golden armor has been waiting here in advance.
"According to the rules of the Hall of Valor." Odin said to the two of them with a smile: "If you want to get my help, you must first prove your worth."
"Heimdall, Al comes out."
"yes!"
The golden-armored warrior and El stood in front of Sharlayan and Stellagosa.
Odin sat in an exclusive seat at the deepest part of the arena, leisurely leaning on the armrest with one hand to support his side face.
"Let's get started. Whether you challenge it together or alone, after passing the test of Heimdall and Al, we will talk about the business."
