Sharlayan was completely unaware of the invisible confrontation between Valeela and Stellagosa, and the barrage of carnival did not notice some strange movements under the table.
Following Stellagosa, the two walked slowly forward under the curious gazes of the young dragons and hatchlings in the Blue Wing habitat.
Some bold baby dragons wanted to get closer to observe, but the female dragon-man responsible for taking care of them hurriedly stepped forward to try to stop them.
"Don't be so nervous."
Stellagosa waved her hand freely: "It would be good for these children to meet outsiders and gain some knowledge."
The little princess Stellagosa spoke, and the dragons immediately stopped where they were, allowing a few baby dragons to fly slowly to Sarlayan and Valeela, looking at the two curiously.
The younger hatchlings have not yet learned to speak and can only make "yah" sounds.
The largest baby dragon was asking Sarlayan questions in a clear girlish voice. She instinctively felt a sense of intimacy from this "mortal".
"What is the outside world like? Is it as sparsely populated as Azsuna? Have you seen other blue dragons?"
The succession of questions made Sarlayan a little dizzy, but he still answered the child's questions patiently.
The Blue Wing habitat is not large, and the entire habitat is built around a blue-purple magic pool with a dreamy scenery.
A giant blue dragon, not much smaller than Malygos, was lying in the pool, looking weakly at the three people approaching him with half-open eyes.
When they came to the pool where Senegos was training, the baby dragon named Tinagosa was already familiar with Sharlayan, sitting on his shoulder without any notice and chattering.
"Haha~"
Senegos' voice sounded obviously out of breath. He looked at Sharlayan with interest and said, "Should it be fate or foresight? I didn't expect that girl Inas was right.
.”
"ha?"
Sarlayan looked confused, but Valeela's eyes showed a true look.
Senegos didn't explain much, just chuckled and changed the subject.
"Son of Inas, why did you come to Blue Wing Habitat?"
Although his heart was full of questions, Sarlayan quickly regained his composure and stated his purpose.
"Dear Senegos, I am here to seek help, and I also hope to plan a better development prospect for the blue dragons in Blue Wing Habitat."
"Ha~"
Senegos was not surprised by Sharlayan's words. He smiled playfully and struggled to stand up from the magic pool.
"What help do you want, and what can you bring to Blue Wing Habitat?"
"Don't be reserved, speak freely."
Sarlayan suppressed the doubts in his heart and solemnly said to Senegos: "I want to know the whereabouts of the Tidestone and how to repair it."
"Tidestone..."
A flash of memory flashed through Senegos' cloudy eyes: "Ah~ I remembered that it was the Titan artifact that was shattered by Azshara's power to activate the Well of Eternity."
"Little one, I do know where the Tidestone is and how to repair it."
"But the power of the Pillar of Creation is too powerful. Once it falls into the wrong hands, the consequences will be disastrous."
"Before I answer your question, I need to know your purpose first."
Senegos' dragon eyes looked at Sarlayan critically: "If you get and repair the Tidestone, how do you plan to use it?"
Sarlayan was well prepared for this question and answered frankly: "I did not obtain the Tidestone out of selfish gain, but because I wanted to use the evil power of this artifact to gain the capital to negotiate terms with Azshara."
"Azshara?"
Senegos didn't expect to hear this name from Sharlay'an. He was stunned for a moment before asking in confusion: "You want to negotiate terms with Azshara? Why?"
While caressing the smooth dragon scales of the young dragon Tinagosa, Sharlayan solemnly replied: "Of course it is for Azeroth."
Senegos stared at Sharlayan for several seconds, confirming that he was serious by looking at each other.
"Hey~ Your original intention is good, but trying to negotiate terms with Queen Azshara is a bit fanciful."
Senegos' body is very weak. Due to the long-term lack of energy supply, his strength is not as good as before. He becomes exhausted after sitting up for just a short while.
Lying back down in the pool, Senegos said with some emotion: "Salayan, this is the advice I give you as a senior."
"Don't be in a hurry to contact Azshara. Whether it's personal strength or scheming, the former Queen of the Night has surpassed the limits of mortals."
"At least now, you don't have the capital to negotiate terms with her in any aspect. What will happen if you overestimate your capabilities and seek skin from a tiger... You don't need me to tell you, right?"
Sarlayan was not surprised by this and nodded without hesitation: "Of course I am not qualified to negotiate with Azshara on an equal footing now. Obtaining the Tide Stone is just to prepare for the future in advance."
"Then listen to my advice and don't touch the Tide Stone for the time being."
Senegos advised earnestly: "The broken Tidestone is still kept in Narthalas Academy and is guarded by a group of powerful archmage-level ghosts."
"As long as no one is interested in the Tidestone, Azshara will not take any corresponding action."
"You'd better make sure you have enough strength before returning to Azsuna. Once you get the Tidestone... whether you want it or not, you will officially enter Azshara's attention."
"Believe me, this is never a good thing."
At her peak, Azshara, who owned the Well of Eternity, could even compete with the second and third most powerful figures in the Burning Legion, the Defiler and the Deceiver.
After losing the blessing of the Well of Eternity, Azshara's strength has somewhat recovered, but it is by no means something that mortals can provoke. Even the Aspect Dragon dare not take it lightly when facing her.
Although Sarlayan has a stubborn temper, he has always been willing to accept the soft rather than the tough.
He can listen to reasonable and well-organized persuasion, but if you hold your head and forcefully want him to accept other people's arrangements...
At that time, Sarlayan would let the other party know why Valeela would sometimes angrily call him a stubborn donkey.
Even if Sharlayan now obtains and repairs the Tidestone, he still cannot face Azshara.
The fate of Faroldis serves as a warning to others.
Senegos' advice allowed Sharlayan to confirm a piece of information. Azshara had indeed been monitoring the movement of the Tidestone.
In this case, Sarlayan certainly won't be stubborn and insists on taking it out now. It is just asking for trouble.
The first topic ended here for the time being, and Sarlayan, who humbly accepted the suggestion, turned to talk about the future of the Blue Wing Habitat.
"The arcane energy in Azsuna is extremely chaotic, and the Blue Wing Habitat is also severely lacking in magic power due to this. It has even begun to affect the normal development of your offspring. Why do you insist on staying here?"
"Why don't you move back to Cowdara and give your heirs better living conditions?"
Not only were Sarlayan and Valeera curious about this question, but Stellagosa, who had been listening, also pricked up her long ears.
Only the baby dragon Tinagosa is not interested in this. She is trying to bite Sharlayan's fingers that are constantly moving to tease the dragon.
Senegos looked at Stellagosa, who was a little agitated but pretending to be calm, and a smile flashed in his dragon eyes as he looked at Sharlayan.
"Your mother Inas also asked me this question more than 800 years ago."
Salay was stunned for a moment: "More than 800 years ago? Mother once came to Azsuna?"
"Yes, and more than once."
Senegos lazily explained with half-closed eyes: "The most recent time was more than 100 years ago, when my little star... oh, not long after Stellagosa was born."
"At that time, my condition was much worse than before. It was your mother who helped to educate Stellagosa... and also took the opportunity to teach her some knowledge about the mortal world that I don't know if it is useful."
Valeela had already had a premonition, but it was only at this moment that Sarlayan showed a look of surprise.
"No wonder Stellagosa knows the standard high elf etiquette. I thought Blue Wing Habitat had had contact with high elf explorers."
Senegos smiled and shook his head: "How is that possible?"
"Long before the Earthfall, I moved to Azsuna because of my disagreement with Malygos. At that time, Azsuna was in its heyday, and I also made some mortal friends here."
"After the War of the Ancients, Azsuna completely declined and the Broken Islands were separated from the mainland. The race of high elves only appeared after that."
"Before your visit, no high elf had ever set foot in Azsuna. Even your father was only briefly active on the Broken Shore."
"As for why you don't take the children back to Kaodala..."
Senegos sighed deeply: "This problem is too complicated. Let me tell you something first..."
"Enemy attack!"
Just when the old blue dragon Senegos was about to start talking, the young dragon patrolling the habitat suddenly sounded an alarm.
"It's the Withered Ones, they're here again! Everyone be on alert!"
