Although the atmosphere when they met was not very friendly, neither Jarod nor Sarah Hill were impulsive and irritable people.
Under Valeera's patient explanation, the two gradually lowered their guard.
Jarod said with some emotion: "I didn't expect that Dashrema would actually go to the other side of the sea and make a name for himself."
Unlike Malfurion and Tyrande, Jarod has no prejudice against the Highborne.
He had served under highborne elves like Curtalos Ravencrest who upheld justice, and he had also encountered noble idiots like Deldes Stareyes.
There are also all kinds of people within the upper elf group, and they cannot be generalized.
Jarod didn't think there was anything wrong with an upper elf like Dath'Remar who turned from darkness to light. The relationship between the two during the War of the Ancients was pretty good.
Unfortunately, after the war, Jarod quickly retired, which caused the highborne elves headed by Dath'Remar to flee in anger due to discrimination.
After some pleasantries and self-introductions, the four of them brought the topic to the point.
After learning that Sarlayan and Valeera discovered his traces through the diary, Jarod was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile.
Sarah Hill glanced at her husband angrily: "I've said it before, don't worry about your crappy diary if you have nothing to do. Isn't it fun now?"
"Fortunately, the person you found is not an enemy, otherwise I will see how you end up."
Jarod reluctantly raised his hands and surrendered: "I know, I will change the habit of writing a diary this time when I go back."
[Hey, who the serious person keeps a diary?]
[No joke, writing a diary can easily reveal information, so it’s okay not to write it. 】
[Garold has been living in seclusion for a long time, and his sense of danger has deteriorated. If it was a war period, I believe he would not have the time or energy to write a diary. 】
Now that the other party already knew their purpose of coming to Black Crow Castle, Jarod stopped going around the bush and explained the clues they had discovered so far.
"The changes in Black Crow Castle occurred more than 700 years ago."
Jarod straightened his face and said seriously: "At that time, Sarah Hill and I were planning to revisit our hometown and go to Val'sharah to see the old house where we lived before. Unexpectedly, we unexpectedly discovered that a large number of ghosts appeared in Black Crow Castle.
.”
"These ghosts follow fixed principles of action and cycle endlessly within the same period of time. They will instinctively attack all living creatures that enter Black Crow Castle."
"More than 700 years ago..."
Valeera pondered thoughtfully for a moment: "You two, do you know about the major events that happened on the Broken Shore more than 800 years ago?"
Jarod nodded and replied: "I heard that a mortal guardian defeated the incarnation of Sargeras and sealed his body in the Great Moon Temple of Saldanas."
Valeera: "Yes, the guardian of Tirisfal is named Aegwynn."
"But that's not important. What's important is that Sargeras' defeat was actually a conspiracy."
"The split soul he injected into his avatar took the opportunity to sneak into Aegwynn's body when he was defeated, and began to influence Aegwynn's thinking mode, and eventually transferred and controlled Aegwynn's son, Medivh, the last guardian of Tirisfal."
Jarod and Sarah Hill's activities are mainly concentrated in Kalimdor and the Broken Islands, and they know nothing about what happened in the Eastern Kingdom.
Sarah Hill frowned and said: "This kind of thing actually happened. What happened next? Is there any connection between the fallen Medivh and the current situation of Black Crow Castle?"
Valeera shook her head: "Medivh has nothing to do with Black Crow Castle, but I suspect that there is something to do with the demons in the Tomb of Sargeras behind this matter."
"You may not know yet, but the Temple of the Moon, once known as Saldanas, has become the lair of demons."
"More than a year ago, an orc warlock named Gul'dan broke into the Tomb of Sargeras in order to obtain power that did not belong to him, and was torn into pieces by the demon."
"We suspect that after Aegwynn sealed the incarnation of Sargeras, Saldanas has become one of the secret entrances for demons to invade Azeroth. The anomalies in Black Crow Castle may also be related to demons."
The incarnation of Sargeras entered Azeroth. It was a conspiracy from beginning to end, and the purpose was to pry open Azeroth's external barrier.
Facts have proved that Sargeras succeeded, but not completely.
Since Azeroth has a defensive barrier set up by Titans, demons that are too powerful cannot directly enter this world.
Ten thousand years ago, Archimonde and Sargeras used the power of the Well of Eternity to send their bodies to Azeroth.
Now that the Well of Eternity has long since died, without the Sunwell and the New Well of Eternity being fully exposed, the Burning Legion has no way to enter Azeroth on a large scale, and can only make some small moves behind the scenes.
The Dark Portal is a typical example.
The three giants headed by Sargeras were unable to pass through the Dark Portal and enter Azeroth.
They plan to use the orcs as cannon fodder to weaken Azeroth's defense strength first.
On the other hand, the Burning Legion used the incarnation of Sargeras as a beacon to continuously transmit low- and mid-level demons into Sargeras's tomb, quietly accumulating power.
The ambitious Gul'dan just happened to hit the muzzle of the gun, which exposed the news that there were a large number of demons in the Tomb of Sargeras.
"demon……"
Upon hearing the movements of his familiar old rival, Jarod's eyes became sharp.
"Although I had long known that the Burning Legion would not easily give up its pursuit of Azeroth, I never expected that Sargeras would sacrifice his soul to sneak in and plan it himself."
While the three of them were discussing the Burning Legion's conspiracy, Sarlayan was deep in thought on the sidelines.
Through the barrage reminder, Sarlayan discovered a cognitive misunderstanding.
[More than 800 years ago, Aegwynn sealed Saldanas and sank into the sea. Until Gul'dan raised Saldanas from the sea, no demon could escape the seal. 】
[Then the question is, since it is not a demon that sneaked out of the Tomb of Sargeras, what is the reason for the strange behavior in Black Crow Castle? 】
Sarlayan did not raise this question directly, but just kept an eye on it.
In any case, he and Valeera will sneak into Black Crow Castle to investigate the situation. Perhaps the answer to this question can be found during the search.
"By the way, there's one more thing."
Sarlayan told Jarod and Sarah Hill what Farodisto had conveyed to him, and not surprisingly, he saw embarrassment on their faces.
Ten thousand years have passed, and the once prosperous Azuna has gradually declined. The Garrods thought that Faronar had no owner, but the fact gave them a slap in the face.
Fortunately, Farodis was not a fussy person and generously expressed his willingness to donate the palace to them.
Jarod was quite ashamed of this. He blushed and scratched his head: "We don't plan to live in Azsuna permanently. We just stay there to observe the movements of Black Crow Castle nearby."
"After the relevant incident is over, we will move back to our original secluded home. I also ask you two to express my gratitude and apology to Prince Farodis on my behalf."
"Still want to live in seclusion?"
Sharlayan was speechless about Jarod's overly reclusive attitude: "The Burning Legion is starting to move again, and the ancient gods hidden in the darkness of Azeroth are also gearing up."
"Now that Azeroth has begun to enter a turbulent era again, we need to recruit talents from all ethnic groups to jointly protect our homeland. Are you sure you really want to continue to live in seclusion?"
"this……"
Jarod's attitude was not firm. Sarlayan's well-founded words made him hesitate, and he subconsciously looked at Sarah Hill beside him.
Sarah Hill understood the meaning in her husband's eyes and pushed his back funny.
"What do you want me to do? The important task of protecting the world is ahead of you. Am I still going to stop you from letting you go?"
"Escape is not an option. You will have to face everything again one day."
"No matter what choice you make, I will always support you."
"Hey~"
Jarod sighed softly: "Look, if the world really needs me, as a member of Azeroth, I will never refuse."
"Ah~ right."
A mischievous smile appeared on Valeera's face, and she gave Jarod another push after his already wavering will.
"Not long ago, we fought alongside Maiev Shadowsong in Val'sharah and assisted her in killing the Nightmare King Xavius."
"Ms. Maiev seems to be your sister, right? How many years ago was the last time you met her?"
"Uh~"
The corners of Jarod's mouth twitched visibly, and his eyes couldn't help but reveal a look of fear and uneasiness.
After seeing this, Sharlayan complained in his heart: 'Is Maiev so scary? Why do I think her temper is quite normal...'
