Chapter 1341 Sarlayan: The mistake he made when he was young
Yin Nasi is a very decisive and action-oriented person. As long as she sees something clearly, she will unswervingly complete it.
Although Sharlayan still didn't know why she suddenly left Quel'Thalas without saying hello, he thought there must be some reason why she had to leave.
Yinasi is an ancient dragon who came of age before the start of the War of the Ancients. She is older than Onyxia, who is also over 10,000 years old, and half a generation older than Chromie and Melinthera, the new generation of dragons.
In the long years she has spent, Yin Nasi has witnessed too many life and death.
In order to be able to stay with her lover without time constraints, Yinasi once asked Alexstrasza, Queen of the Red Dragon, to grant her partner Julian the blessing of life.
At this point, Sarlayan's father has escaped the limit of lifespan as a mortal. As long as he does not die unexpectedly, theoretically, he can live as long as the dragons do.
However, as we all know, Azeroth is a troubled world.
Due to the existence of the Azeroth Star Soul, the Titan that has long been designated as the strongest in the future, countless people with ulterior motives in the universe are eyeing this primitive planet that has not yet entered the interstellar age.
Ultimately, Yin Nasi's parents died because of the ancient gods' conspiracy.
Whether it is to make herself and her family live safer on this crisis-ridden planet, or to avenge her long-dead parents, Yin Nasi is determined to solve all the ancient god threats in Azeroth.
From a certain perspective, Sarlayan can be regarded as inheriting his mother's ambition.
Under his leadership, the Thousand-Eyed Demon C'Thun and the Thousand-Roaring Demon Yogg-Saron were sealed again one after another, leaving only the Thousand-Beard Demon Enzos hiding in the deep sea still lingering.
With her son so capable, Yin Nasi, who suffered a big loss at the hands of Enzos, did not force herself to continue to challenge the ancient god.
Many years ago, Sharlayan entrusted an important task related to the future development of the high elves to Yinasi, a bioengineering expert.
Perhaps because of the balance of natural laws, the fertility rate of immortal species, including dragons, is very tragic, which has resulted in the population growth rate of high elves remaining at an extremely low level.
According to rational analysis, this balance derived from the laws of nature is not unreasonable.
For example, if a mortal race with endless lifespan were allowed to have a strong fertility rate like humans and orcs, the entire planet would be overcrowded in up to a thousand years, and the planet's resources would be quickly exhausted.
Birth, aging, illness and death are an irreversible part of the laws of nature.
Demigods with infinite lifespans like Sarlayan are only a minority after all, and such rare individuals will not have any impact on the balance of nature even if they are allowed to live.
But if the scope of improving fertility is expanded to the entire ethnic group, the meaning is completely different.
Sarlayan has only gradually realized this truth in the past two years.
One thing to say, from the standpoint of Quel'Thalas, this is hard to accept. Fertility has always been one of the biggest problems plaguing the high elves.
Many high elf families have longed for the birth of a new life since they got married, but due to racial characteristics, a few high elves were unable to give birth to even one offspring until they died.
Because of this, Sarlayan, who had not considered comprehensively in the early years, has always wanted to improve the miserable fertility of the high elves.
In the past two years, thinking from a more macro perspective, Sarlayan gradually realized how unreliable his original idea was.
Let’s not mention the consumption of planetary resources.
A long lifespan coupled with a strong fertility rate may greatly promote the development of high elves in the short term, but from a long-term perspective, this is not a good thing.
Because of their long lifespans, the replacement rate of officials in various positions of the high elves is extremely slow.
At this stage, due to the small number of newborns, the metabolic problem of high elf officials is not too obvious, but once the fertility problem is solved... Sarlayan can imagine how serious social conflicts will breed as a result.
In the words of Danmaku...this is called not replacing the few but suffering from inequality.
After returning from Ulduar this time, Sharlayan was planning to bring his mother and experts from Quel'Thalas together to discuss the most appropriate level for adjusting the high elves' fertility rate.
According to Saryan's vision, he does not plan to continue asking mothers to delve into other high-end technologies to promote fertility. Instead, he will invest more energy in the already established IVF project and reduce the cost of this technology.
The technology of in vitro fertilization must be firmly in the hands of Quel'Thalas officials, so that the growth of the fertility rate can be more conveniently controlled.
If this technology were allowed to flow into the public uncontrollably, Sarlayan could well imagine that those powerful people with the most resources would inevitably become the biggest beneficiaries.
This situation would obviously go against Kael'thas and Sharlayan's general policy of encouraging commoners to compete with nobles in order to promote social vitality.
Since his mother was away for some reason, Sarlayan could only temporarily shelve the idea of holding a relevant meeting.
Anyway, in the next few years, he will stay in the country most of the time to assist the Sun King in handling internal affairs, so there is no need to rush.
"correct."
Sarlayan suddenly remembered something, raised his head and asked Valeera: "Did Uncle Welles mention the whereabouts of my father? Didn't he also go out with his mother?"
"No, that's not the case."
Valeela shook her head and said: "When Inas' mother was out, the teacher happened to be on a reconnaissance mission in Stratholme. There should be no prior communication between them."
Valeera understood the implication of Sarlayan's words: "Maybe the teacher will know the reason why Yin Nasi's mother went out, but we can only wait until he comes back from the mission before asking."
After the Battle of Seamount, the general environment of Azeroth is one of cultivation and rejuvenation, but this does not mean that there will be no friction between countries. That is impossible.
Rather, it is precisely because all countries focus on their internal affairs that the diplomatic conflicts between them become more prominent.
Having experienced several wars in succession, all countries have a tacit understanding not to escalate conflicts into armed conflicts and will try their best to resolve disputes through talks.
Nowadays, the area with the most acute conflicts in the entire Eastern Kingdom is undoubtedly the Kingdom of Lordaeron and the New Scourge, who have a bloody feud with each other... or the undead organization of Free Will.
Under the guarantee of Sharlayan, Free Will has moved to Draenor to settle in large numbers under the leadership of the new Lich King Thoras.
But before the undead can establish a foothold in the new world, they still have to leave a stronghold in their home world that can be used as a retreat.
The Icecrown Citadel, which is constantly being watched by the Shadow Realm, is obviously not suitable.
After discussions among the high-level officials of Free Will, Thoras finally made the decision to temporarily hold Stratholme City in his hands, and let the Lord of Stratholme, Baron Rivendell, decide when to return it to the jurisdiction of Lordaeron.
After a period of hard work and development, Free Will has gained a firm foothold in Frostfire Ridge. With repeated urging from Lordaeron, the return of Stratholme has gradually been put on the agenda.
The two sides basically agree on the general direction, but there are still considerable differences in some specific details.
Many of the undead of the original Scourge were Lordaeronians during their lifetimes. Not all undead could freely leave behind the bonds of the past and follow Solas to Draenor to start a new life.
Many of the undead remaining in Azeroth are people who still cherish their past lives.
For this part of the undead, Stratholme, which allows the undead to live together with the living, is their last pure land.
The opinion leaders of this group of undead are the Baron family of Rivendell, which has managed Stratholme for generations.
After several rounds of negotiations, Calia agreed that Baron Rivendell would still manage Stratholme after its return, but the two sides still had huge differences on whether to keep a large number of undead in Stratholme to live together with the living.
"Stratholme City, which is the center of the storm, has not been very peaceful recently. People with different opinions make public speeches in the streets every day."
Valeera said with some worry: "The Sun King and Uncle Welles were worried that Stratholme would accidentally misfire, so they ordered the teacher to bring a small team of Backlight Blade elites to sneak into Stratholme to monitor changes in the situation. It would be best to
The flames of conflict are nipped in the cradle.”
Sarlayan nodded thoughtfully: "It's not too surprising. A city where the undead and the living live together is a good thing from our point of view."
"But for the locals who actually live...or are about to return to Stratholme City to live, it is not something that can be easily accepted."
"After all... there is indeed a huge difference in life forms between the undead and the living. Titus's ideal is beautiful, but the reality may not be as he wishes."
