In the Azeroth they knew, Sarlayan's family had never appeared, at least not as the main characters that were highlighted.
Valeela is indeed a real person, but Valeela's experience is very different from what Danmu knows.
In the history shown in that game, Valeera did not know the Deep Shadow clan, so naturally she did not join the Backlight Blade.
Her first appearance was after the invasion of the Undead Scourge. Valeela lost her family in the war and was forced to live in the wilderness.
Valeera, who was struggling to survive, was captured by guards while stealing property. She was later sold to an orc named Rhaegar Earthfury, and was forced to become a gladiator in order to survive.
Due to the butterfly effect caused by the Sarlayan family, Valeela's experience has a huge difference from the history known to Danmu.
The abnormality in Black Crow Castle appeared thousands of years ago, and it must have nothing to do with Sarlayan, who is not yet 20 years old, but no one can guarantee whether this matter is related to Inas and Julian.
Sarlayan had previously discussed the purpose and trajectory of Inasi's actions with Danmaku.
According to Senegos’ words, Inas visited the Broken Islands more than 800 years ago.
The barrage compared the timeline of the chronicles and basically determined an answer.
Inas probably came here for the incarnation of Sargeras. When Aegwynn fought with him, she probably hid aside and peeked, witnessing the whole process from the defeat to the sealing of the incarnation of Sargeras.
Senegos accidentally said something else, Julian had never set foot on the main island of the Broken Islands, and only stayed briefly on the Broken Shore.
In other words, Julian never accompanied Inas during her many trips to and from the Broken Islands.
If we had to say who had something to do with the changes in Black Crow Castle, then it was probably the aftermath of some of Inas's actions.
Since leaving Silithus, Thalayan has often been in a daze in his spare time, and Valeera has complained about this.
But in fact, he was not in a daze, nor was he discussing things with the barrage, but looking through the information that Inas had packed and handed to him.
As Inas herself said, she is an expert in dealing with ancient divine creatures, and this information contains many detailed descriptions of various void creatures.
From the ancient gods, Xeraki and the Faceless Men, to those twisted creatures transformed by the power of the void, the records are very detailed.
Since Inas has set up a special function of unpacking in stages, Sarlayan must first read the previous content to obtain more information.
So far, most of what Sarlayan has read is historical documents and professional knowledge related to ancient divine creatures. He has not yet seen what he wants to know most.
After setting up camp by the Salmon Creek, Sarlayan and Valeera were in no rush to break into Black Crow Keep.
Judging from the contents of Jarod's diary, he should have acted together with his wife Sarah Hill.
Sarlayan knew nothing about Sarah Hill's origins, and Faroldis provided him with some information before leaving.
Sarah Sil is a Moon God Priest, born in Val'sharah, and once worked in the local Moon Temple for a long time.
After the War of the Ancients, Sarah Sil resigned from her job at the Temple of the Moon, lived in seclusion with Jarod, and disappeared together from then on.
According to Faroldis, although Jarod has unparalleled military command talent, his personal strength can only be considered average, far from being comparable to Malfurion and Tyrande, and he has barely entered the legend.
threshold.
Sarah Hill is a moon priest, and her fighting style is more auxiliary and therapeutic, which complements Jarod as a warrior.
After setting up camp by the Salmon Creek, Sarlayan went out alone, found a higher hill, and activated his eagle eye to carefully observe the situation inside Black Crow Castle.
This fortress has been a military fortress since ancient times. Most of the ghosts awakened are elite soldiers with rich combat experience. A rough calculation shows that there are at least several thousand.
During the observation process, Sarlayan discovered that these ghosts would instinctively attack all creatures that entered Black Crow Castle, even rats.
Neither Jarod nor Sarah Hill are good at sneaking. Once they enter Black Crow Castle, they will soon be discovered by the ghost soldiers in the castle.
Sarlayan Dadan speculated that the two people should still be wandering around the outside of the castle, looking for the right time and place to break in.
While Sharlayan was busy observing the defense pattern within the castle, Valeera began to search for traces of Jarod and Sarah Hill along the outer perimeter of Black Crow Keep.
There was nothing gained on the first day. The two returned to the camp and exchanged information before going to bed early.
When operating within the territory of the night elves, you must naturally follow the life habits of the night elves.
Sharlayan and Valeera deliberately adjusted their time difference, and like the night elves, they stayed day and night.
At midnight the next day, Sarlayan, who was conducting high-altitude reconnaissance, noticed a flash of light outside the cemetery on the west side of Black Crow Castle.
"Valeela, did you see that?"
"Well, someone opened the door of an abandoned hut, and dim light came through."
"Hold on tight."
After reminding Valeela, Sarlayan folded his wings and began to dive quickly, and soon arrived in front of the old house that emitted a suspicious light.
Without any verbal communication, Sarlayan transformed into a black panther form in advance when he was still about 5 meters above the ground.
Together with Valeera, they landed steadily and silently, and each of them quietly approached the shabby door.
The long ears of the elves are not white. All elves have excellent hearing.
Sarlayan and Valeera put their ears against the door, listening to the goings on in the hut.
Although they could not hear the specific content of the conversation clearly, the two of them were certain that there was someone living in this long-abandoned gravekeeper's hut, and it was a man and a woman.
Black Crow Keep has long been abandoned, and the surrounding area is so haunted by ghosts that the local residents of Val'sharah will not go near it at all.
The druids have long known that there are ghosts haunting Black Crow Keep, but these ghosts have never left the confines of Black Crow Keep and will not cause harm to the residents of Val'sharah.
The Arch Druillensa Gianthoof, who is sitting in the Dream Grove, suggested to wait and see what happens. There is no need to provoke them specifically. They have been peaceful for hundreds of years.
Since the locals will not approach Black Crow Castle easily, the people living here are basically the couple Jarod Sarah Hill who came to investigate the situation.
Valeela lowered her head and considered it, and exchanged opinions with Sarlayan through the soul link.
Understanding what Valeera meant, Sarlayan activated stealth and escaped into the shadows, and Valeera knocked on the door openly.
"Dong~dong~"
As the knock on the door rang, all movement in the house suddenly disappeared.
Valeera said nonchalantly: "Mr. Jarod Shadowsong, if you want to find out the source of the changes in Black Crow Castle, we can provide you with help."
In the gravekeeper's cabin, a night elf with a beard frowned and looked at the blue-haired woman next to him.
They have been married for ten thousand years, and the two have long been able to communicate some simple information through their eyes with tacit understanding.
Sarah Hill usually makes the decision on trivial matters in life, but when it comes to major events, Jarod, the head of the family, will step forward without hesitation.
'The other party has clearly known my identity and even came to visit me personally. It is useless to deny it.'
'and……'
Jarod stroked the beard on his chin thoughtfully: 'Can you help me with my investigation? Let's meet.'
Indicating Sarah Hill to prepare for battle with his eyes, Jarod slowly walked to the door on the creaking wooden floor.
Taking a deep breath, Jarod slowly opened the wooden door. Standing outside the door was a "petite" blond elf woman.
Jarod asked warily: "Who are you? Why do you know I'm here?"
Valeela spread her hands in a friendly manner, indicating that she was not hostile.
"Can you let us in first?"
"us?"
Jarod's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously raised his awareness and scanned the surroundings.
A black leopard suddenly walked out of the shadows and squeezed into the hut first by virtue of its size advantage as if no one else was there.
The wild transformation in the real world is not like the game mentioned in the barrage, and it also stupidly leaves long ears for the claw form.
The appearance of Sarlayan's transformed black panther is no different from that of the wild panther. It can only be seen through his smart eyes that he is not a real beast.
Jarod was a bit overwhelmed by Black Panther's familiarity.
Anyway, someone had already come in first, so he simply moved out of the way and let Valeera in as well.
"Is this panther your animal companion? Are you the ranger?"
Valeela saw the wary-looking Sarah Hill, smiled and shook her head: "I am not a ranger, and he is not an animal."
In front of Jarod and Sarah Hill, a flash of light and shadow flashed across the Black Panther's body, transforming into a handsome silver-haired man with a high ponytail.
"First meeting, Mr. Jarod and Mrs. Sarah Hill, we are Sarlayan Deepshadow and Valeela Sangunar from Quel'Thalas."
