Julian, who had eaten the wrong melon, looked a little embarrassed, but the people of Kul Tiras around him didn't care so much. Their shining eyes were fixed on Sarlayan, as if they had heard some shocking gossip.
"Uh~"
The corner of Sarlayan's mouth twitched, and he pulled up the hood to protect his face from sand and dust.
"Leave first, I don't want to be watched like a rare animal."
Dai Lin's careless shouting made the barrage happy.
[Who said that 10 years old is not enough? Zhu Houzhao, Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty, once said: If I don’t refine copper, how can I make the country rich and strengthen the army? Refining copper, refining copper, refining copper again! (Funny)]
[Xing, the ones in front will be taken away first. I want to see who else dares to smelt copper. (Justice face)]
Sarlayan: "?"
[Children, do you have many question marks? 】
【Grass, it’s time to sing.】
Sarlayan: "I know what smelting copper means, but I always feel that the copper smelting you are talking about is not serious..."
As expected, a large number of "Hahahaha" floated across the barrage. These fun-loving dogs were talking about things in this way, but they couldn't explain clearly what they meant by smelting copper.
After finally sneaking out of Boralus, Sharlayan didn't bother to pay attention to the troll netizens who were still partying, and flew Valeela and Julian to Drustvar at full speed.
…
After months of separation, Great Thornspeaker Orfa still dutifully guards the Thornspeaker's den.
I wonder if Dailin and Orfa reached some agreement, but the number of new apprentices inside and outside the beast's den has obviously increased.
"Dad, I learned my druid skills from Olfa. He was the one who saved my mother in the first place. Otherwise, given my mother's injuries at the time, the consequences would have been unpredictable."
Julian immediately bowed solemnly to Olfa and thanked him: "Your Excellency Olfa, thank you for your help to Inas."
Olfa looked at Julian with interest, and saw the sincerity without any falsehood in his eyes, with a satisfied smile on his face.
"There is no need to be so polite. I just did what I should do. Inas's life has not come to an end yet. She should not die here."
After shooing away the many curious babies in the den, Orfa led the three of them into Inas's sleeping place, which was protected by multiple layers of barriers.
Sarlayan and Valeela knew enough not to disturb Julian and Inas' long-awaited reunion. They took the old bear away first and told him what they had seen in Kalimdor in the past few months.
"Remulos..."
Orfa said with some emotion: "When I followed Cenarius to learn the way of druidry, my relationship with Remulos and Zaltar was pretty good."
"Unfortunately, Zaltar later went to the fertile land to check the withering situation of the earth, and unexpectedly fell in love with the earth element princess Sedeles. I haven't seen her since then."
"etc!"
Sarlayan and Valeera looked at each other in astonishment and asked in surprise: "Didn't the rich land wither away because of the ravages of the centaurs?"
"Ha~"
Orfa sneered: "This is just an excuse made by the night elves to protect Zaltar's reputation."
"In fact, long before the centaurs were born, the land's originally abundant vitality was completely sucked away by Sedras who woke up from his slumber."
"The tauren living there believe that Mother Earth, who created the world, sleeps under this land they call Masanshe."
"For thousands of years, Tauren shamans have been trying to revive Mother Earth."
"Unfortunately, what they awakened was not Mother Earth, but the cruel princess of the earth element. It was precisely because of Sedeles's awakening that Masanshe became the miserable state it is today."
Orfa lived for nearly 3,000 years. According to him, the dramatic changes in Masanche occurred more than 1,100 years ago.
Olfa witnessed the withering of that land with his own eyes, and knew the truth hidden behind the legend clearly.
The earth elemental princess Sedras is undoubtedly the origin of all troubles, but if she really curbs her cruel nature through her union with Zaltar, it would be a good thing.
Unfortunately, Sedeles gave in, but her and Zalta's child, the centaur, inherited her mother's cruel side, causing even more serious damage to the already deteriorating environment of Masanshe.
"Compared with Zaltar, Remulos is more mature and stable... although you can't tell it from the appearance."
"He has inherited the mantle of Cenarius and has a talent in the ways of nature that no mortal can match."
"It will undoubtedly be a good thing for you to get his guidance."
"If you want to go further after fully mastering the dragon transformation, I'm afraid you can only ask the forest demigod Cenarius for personal guidance."
…
Julian stayed alone in the secret room cave for several hours. When he came out, his eyes were still a little red. He was so stubborn that he would never admit that he cried.
"Salayan, you and Ysera agreed to meet in Drustvar?"
Sare nodded calmly: "This is the original plan, but I doubt...she may not be able to spare the time now."
There are still a lot of things going on in the Emerald Dream, and then you have to find a way to rescue your daughter who is trapped in Ahn'Qiraj.
Ysera's schedule is full, and Sharlayan is really not sure whether she will be able to come to Drustvar to meet up as planned.
"Why don't you go into the Emerald Dream again and ask her yourself."
Orfa's suggestion made Sarlayan look stunned: "How to enter? There is no dream passage here, right?"
Orfa shook his head: "I really don't have one here, but you can enter the dream world through the transfer in the Blighted Realm."
"The Realm of Blight is between the worlds of life and death. The dead side is connected to the Arden Fairyland, which represents autumn and winter in the Shadow Realm, while the living side leads to the Emerald Dream, which represents spring and summer."
Sarlay was stunned for a moment, then patted his forehead: "I almost forgot that I am still half the master of the Blighted Realm."
"OK."
Sarlayan sat down cross-legged: "I'll go say hello to Bwonsamdi before falling asleep. You guys can wait for me here."
…
In June of the 7th year of the Dark Portal, Sarlayan finally returned to Quel'Thalas after being away from his hometown for more than a year.
In addition to Valeela, he was accompanied by Julian and his mother Inas who had not yet awakened.
Just as Sharlayan guessed, Ysera was so busy that she couldn't spare any time.
With the cooperation of Malfurion and other druids, the battle to encircle and suppress the nightmare is in full swing.
If this were the case, Ysera, as the leader of the green dragons, could still find some time to fulfill her promise to Sharlayan.
But after receiving the news that Melinthera was still alive, Ysera spent all her free time in meetings, discussing with the night elves and other dragons how to rescue the three dragon crown princes from C'Thun.
Malygos, who was rarely sober, did not hesitate to launch a second War of Quicksand, this time to completely eliminate the Qiraji from Azeroth and further strengthen C'Thun's seal.
Alexstrasza and Ysera did not agree with Malygos's simple and crude plan, and the druids who were still encircling and suppressing the nightmare could not spare manpower to reinforce the war in the material world.
Without the support of druids, it would be difficult to defeat the Qiraji Empire's defenses in one fell swoop just by relying on the cooperation of sentry troops and dragons. Instead, it would only alert the enemy.
The conclusion reached at the end of the discussion was that after the war in the dream world ends, the green dragons will return to the material world with a large number of druids, launch a general attack on Ahn'Qiraj, and rescue the three crown princes.
Ysera apologized to Sarlayan and said that she could only find time to come to help after the Nightmare War was over and use the power of Garnier branches to wake up the sleeping Inas.
Since the time has been delayed, Sarlayan and Julian do not intend to continue waiting in Drustvar.
After some discussion, they decided to take Inas back to Quel'Thalas for resettlement.
With the help of Alecgos, Inas' huge body was teleported to the troll tomb in Sunmark Peak.
A year has passed, and Leleza has led the ranger troops to defeat the arrogant forest trolls back to their original form.
If some of the troops were not taken out by Sylvanas to reinforce the alliance, Releza would have planned to attack Zul'Aman directly.
Now that the trolls have been driven back, Yanghen Peak has naturally returned to the control of the high elves.
The mountain of Yanghen Peak was dug out by trolls with a large number of hollows, which were originally used to store the corpses of the ancestors of the forest trolls.
During the defense of Quel'Thalas, the forest trolls caused great harm to the high elves, and they are still resented by many people to this day.
After capturing Yanghen Peak, Liresa burned all the troll mummies in the mountain without hesitation, leaving the hollowed-out mountain empty.
Julian decided to stay on Sunmark Peak and watch over Inas until she woke up from her deep sleep.
Sarlayan and Valeela went down the mountain together, preparing to go home to rest.
After being busy for more than a year, it’s time to stop and settle down.
When passing the Tower of Morning Star in a relaxed mood, the sunlight above Sarlayan's head was inexplicably obscured by shadows.
Looking up in confusion, he saw a woman in fluttering robes screaming loudly and approaching the ground at high speed.
Sarlayan wanted to make a mistake and get out of the way, but considering the consequences, he sighed helplessly, lowered his weight and stood on the spot to bear the impact.
"Sa~lei~an~you are finally back!"
"Bang!"
Sarlayan was knocked back more than a dozen steps, and finally stopped when his back hit a big tree. He smiled bitterly and pushed away the witch clinging to him.
"I know what you want to say. You have worked hard during this period, Melia."
