From Creel's point of view, Nefarian, who had been severely reprimanded by Deathwing several times, had long since lost his spirit, and now he was nothing more than a yes-man for his master, unable to pull off any tricks.
But is this really the case?
Sharlayan and Onyxia don't think so.
Onyxia knows her brother very well. In her view, Nefarian has been a stubborn donkey since he was a child. He will never look back until he hits the wall... It can even be said further that even if he hits the wall, he still won't turn back.
Will come back.
A few setbacks will not dampen Nefarian's fighting spirit. The flame of struggle is definitely still burning in his heart.
After hearing Nefarian's call, Sarlayan first turned around and glanced at the closed door, confirming that the door was sealed from various aspects by a rather strange power before releasing the transformation.
"Long time no see, Black Dragon Prince Nefarian."
Nefarian looked at Sarlayan, who looked very relaxed, and asked with a half-smile: "You dare to stand in front of me alone now? It seems that you are very confident in your ability to escape."
"escape?"
Sarlayan shook his head and laughed: "Why should I run away? If my identity is exposed, you should be the one who is more anxious, right?"
"Really?" Nefarian asked with a noncommittal smile: "Why can't I use you as a certificate of surrender for my father? You don't think I can't capture you at such a close distance, do you?"
"This is hard to say, and... if Deathwing discovers that we are together, based on your behavior in recent times, do you think he will really believe the words of your rebellious son?"
Both of them maintained formulaic smiles on their faces, but they were engaging in a heated exchange of words.
"Also, if you only rely on experience to judge my combat effectiveness, you will suffer a big loss."
The two looked at each other in silence for a long time before Nefarian took the initiative to look away: "Ha~ we haven't seen you for a few years. My good brother-in-law, I didn't expect you to have grown to this point. Sure enough, my original choice was the right one.
of."
"Okay." Nefarian put away his smile and motioned for Sarlayan to take a seat: "Let's end the boring test here. There is not much time left for us to talk."
"The only good thing about that loyal stupid dog outside is that he is cautious. He will not let me hide alone in the room for a long time."
"Salayan Deep Shadow, I know what you want, what about you? Do you know what I want?"
Saryan curled his lips meaningfully: "Of course, it is not difficult to guess the thinking mode of an idealistic lunatic like you, and I do hold some important information in my hands that you dream of."
"oh?"
Nefarian asked with interest: "Idealistic madman? I like this title, so tell me, what do I want?"
"Colorful Dragon."
Time was running out, and Sarlayan was too lazy to continue beating around the bush with Nefarian, and said straight to the point: "No matter what your original intention of studying colorful dragons is, if your research can really make a breakthrough, it will not be a big deal for the dragon clan.
Good thing."
There are certainly not many dragons that can perfectly integrate the five dragon powers like Sarlayan, and it can even be said that there is no one in ten thousand.
If through Nefarian's research, the Dragon Clan can take into account other powers besides their own destiny, it will definitely be able to effectively improve the overall combat effectiveness of the Dragon Clan, and even... find a new way to break through the acquired shackles that have blocked countless Dragon Clan.
Except for Deathwing, who introduced the power of the void to quench his thirst, the four Aspect Dragons have all been stuck at level 66 for tens of thousands of years.
All the Aspect Dragons can clearly feel that this is the limit they can reach, and the hope of continuing to move forward is blocked by an unbreakable invisible wall.
This is the inevitable sequelae of accepting Titan's external force infusion to quickly gain strength. At least so far, the Dragon Clan has not found an effective way to break through the bottleneck.
There are very few dragons like Stellagosa who can resist the temptation and not take shortcuts to break through. Moreover, not everyone can take this road. Talent, hard work and opportunity are all indispensable.
This time, after Onyxia returned from the Obsidian Holy Land, she suddenly realized a problem.
Her younger brother Abyssian, who had been raised outside since he was a child, seemed to have never accepted the dragon coming-of-age ceremony.
In other words, Abyssian, like Stellagosa, broke through and became an adult dragon purely through personal efforts.
This means that Abyssian's upper limit will not stagnate at level 66 due to overthrowing the talent. The potential of this seemingly honest and honest young black dragon is also extraordinary.
If Abyssian can be given enough room to grow, sooner or later he will surpass all his elders, including his brother, sister, and even his parents, and become the most powerful black dragon in history.
Of course, this is just theory.
In this troubled world, it is not easy to fully realize one's potential. Even Sharlayan cannot guarantee that he will survive every battle against many foreign enemies in the future.
From a certain perspective, Nefarian's research on colorful dragons is actually rewriting the genetic sequence of the dragon family. However, he has not yet made a breakthrough so far, and the colorful dragon beast Chromaggus is only a semi-finished product.
.
To paraphrase Inas's evaluation, Nefarian is indeed very talented in genetic engineering.
Unlike Inas, who had acquired a lot of knowledge about genetic engineering from another world, Nefarian got to where he is today step by step through his own efforts. As a result, he actually developed the semi-finished product of Chromaggus.
.
Although it is still a semi-finished product, the birth of Chromaggus at least shows that Nefarian is on the right track, but it still lacks polish in many details.
"Colorful dragon..." Upon hearing this term, Nefarian's eyes suddenly blurred for a moment: "Of course, colorful dragon, that is my lifelong dream. No matter how many setbacks and obstacles I encounter, I will never give up on it.
Research on colorful dragons!”
That's why Sharlayan said Nefarian was an idealistic lunatic.
In order to achieve his goal, Nefarian completely abandoned his moral values, and the number of four-color dragons that died in his hands and became experimental materials may have exceeded three figures.
For the Dragon Clan, whose fertility rate is very impressive, this is definitely not a small number. Even the Dragon Clan did not lose so many adult dragons in the first quicksand battle that year.
Of course, the losses of hundreds of four-color dragons were accumulated by Nefarian over the past tens of thousands of years, and were not an explosive increase in a short period of time.
Even so, Nefarian has long been on the wanted blacklist of Wyrmrest Temple. Once captured by Wyrmrest Temple, there is only one fate waiting for him - a life for a life.
Under Yinnas's precise operation for hundreds of years, Sarlayan became the first truly colorful dragon in the history of the dragon clan, which can be called a perfect finished product.
Yin Nasi herself admitted generously that even if she were allowed to perfectly reproduce all the processes again, the chance of birthing a perfect colorful dragon would be very slim. The existence of Sarlayan is a veritable miracle.
Sarlayan had considered a few years ago that if Nefarian and Yinnas were allowed to cooperate in research, whether these two genetic engineering experts could break the genetic lock that restricted almost all dragons, so that they could already see it at a glance.
Will the dragons who have reached the end of their potential get a chance to grow again?
The answer is the unknown, and the unknown often means infinite possibilities.
Therefore, when Nefarian offered her an olive branch in a roundabout way a few years ago, Sharlayan agreed to have an in-depth relationship between Onyxia and the black dragon prince whose hands were stained with the blood of his own race.
Sharlayan will not try to clear Nefarian's name. Sooner or later, the sins he has committed will need to be repaid.
But before draining Nefarian's remaining value, Sarlayan will not let him die easily.
If he can negotiate a series of subsequent cooperation with Nefarian this time, Sarlayan is willing to go to Wyrmrest Temple to intercede for Nefarian and ask Wyrmrest Temple to postpone the punishment of Nefarian's crimes.
While Sarlayan's brain was still running at high speed, Nefarian asked Sarlayan sarcastically: "Colorful dragons are indeed my lifelong pursuit, so the question is, how do you plan to satisfy my trading requirements?
"
"The Seed of Shadow Flame is the black dragon clan's most precious treasure entrusted to me by Deathwing for safekeeping. Even if I am discovered by him that I have 'accidentally' lost the treasure, the ending that awaits me will be very tragic."
"Why should I take huge risks to hand over the Shadow Flame Seed to you?"
"Show your chips, Sarlayan. You also know that we don't have much time left to bargain."
"The bargaining chip is...me."
Sarlayan pointed at himself calmly: "I am the perfect colorful dragon you dream of."
"If you hand over the Shadow Flame Seed to me and are willing to reach a series of follow-up cooperation with us, I can cooperate with your research to a certain extent... Of course, it needs to be carried out under the supervision of my mother Yin Lainastaza."
