Sharlayan was curious about the relationship between Maiev and Jarod.
The biological siblings had not seen each other for at least thousands of years, which was unimaginable to Sarlayan, who valued his relatives.
According to the barrage, the Shadow Song siblings had a military encounter on the eve of the catastrophic version of the original history.
But at that time, Maiev's hatred for Illidan was already unspeakable due to the deaths of a large number of Watcher sisters.
Coupled with the fact that Malfurion and Tyrande never supported her actions, the leader of the Watch went further and further down the extreme path, and was only one step away from becoming possessed.
Although Jarod and Maiev are biological siblings, he has always been calm and can judge the rights and wrongs of many parties from an objective and fair perspective.
Although Malfurion and Tyrande are suspected of helping their relatives and deliberately letting Illidan run away, there is nothing wrong with their overall view.
Illidan had been imprisoned for ten thousand years, and he no longer had any feelings for his people, and was even dissatisfied with them.
But if it was not necessary, he would not bother to waste time planning how to retaliate. The demon hunter believed that he had more important things to do. It was precisely because of their understanding of Illidan that Malfurion and Tyrande let go
He left, thus causing Maiev's dissatisfaction.
The feud between Maiev and Illidan cannot be explained clearly in a few words.
After all, if Tyrande hadn't suddenly gone crazy and massacred the Watchers to free Illidan, Maiev would not have been forced to take the extreme path again and again by reality.
If it weren't for the barrage's consistent evaluation of Tyrande, Sharlayan would have suspected that she had planned this operation in advance, in order to drive Maiev out of the night elves and completely ruin her reputation.
Judging from the results, Tyrande did it.
Maiev, who was driven to hysteria by Illidan, did many things that even her own supporters could not understand, which completely ruined her popularity and could no longer compete with Tyrande for status within the clan.
In version 8.0, because the world tree Teldrassil was burned, Tyrande, who was full of revenge, took the initiative to express his desire to reconcile with Maiev and jointly hunt down the Banshee King who committed heinous crimes.
In fact, it was just because Maiev no longer posed any threat to her at that time. In barrage terms, this was called the calmness of a winner.
At least for now, nothing has happened.
From Sharlayan's point of view, he didn't want Tyrande, a naive and fun-loving person, to keep controlling the power of the night elves. It would be best to let Maiev return to the center to limit her many idiotic decisions.
Illidan really should be released. It would be a waste to let him rot in prison for such a powerful warrior who only wants to defeat the Burning Legion.
But Sharlayan disagreed with Tyrande's actions, and the Watcher did not agree to release Illidan. She actually raised the butcher's knife against her compatriots who were unwilling to obey her without hesitation.
What does this mean? Shunchang is going against the odds? Want to change the republic into a dictatorship? Why don’t you go to heaven!
Maiev has been away from the night elf center for a long time, and it is difficult for her to defeat the fledgling Tyrande on her own.
But if you add the legendary commander Jarod who returns with him, Tyrande will definitely be overwhelmed for a long time and will have no extra energy to plan those mind-dying operations.
But Sarlayan's idea has a major premise: Jarod and Maiev must have a harmonious relationship and be willing to stand on the same side and cooperate sincerely.
Valeera had already learned of Sarlayan's plans from his mouth.
Although she was not interested in getting involved in the political struggles within the night elves, when she thought of the playful and fun-loving High Priest of the Moon... considering the increasingly turbulent situation in Azeroth, she finally compromised and acquiesced.
.
"Garold, your relationship with Maiev is very bad?"
"That's not true."
Jarod scratched his head in distress: "I just don't know how to explain to my sister that we left without saying goodbye."
"I know she has always had high expectations for my achievements, but...I really am not that material."
Sarah Hill rolled her eyes angrily: "Here we go again, when will you get over your bad habit of self-deprecation?"
Sarlayan and Valeela were also speechless about this.
The genius commander Jarod Shadowsong was famous all over the world as early as 10,000 years ago, and everyone who participated in the War of the Ancients left a deep impression on him.
Sarlayan reluctantly persuaded: "Garold, let me say this."
"Your sister's expectation for you is not that you become an all-round talent like Lord Curtalos Ravencrest, who can be grasped by both the military and the government. You just need to make achievements in the field that you are good at."
According to the barrage, Maiev does have a tendency to support her younger brother... and has always been very strict with Jarod.
Jarod came from Black Crow Castle, and he has always regarded Lord Ravencrest as his role model.
But a ruler is short and an inch is long. Everyone has their own areas in which they are good and bad.
Lord Ravencrest is indeed omnipotent in military and political affairs, but omnipotence usually means omnipotence.
At least in terms of military command, he couldn't compare with the talented Jarod.
There is no problem with Garrod's ability, the biggest problem lies in his mentality.
Even after ten thousand years, Jarod still finds it difficult to objectively face his own strengths and weaknesses, and always uses Lord Ravencrest's advantages in handling government affairs to belittle himself.
It is difficult to find a suitable template for an extremely scientific military genius like Jarod in the past history of Azeroth.
By inappropriately using Ravencase as a role model, Jarod, who already lacked self-confidence, fell into an endless cycle of self-deprecation.
"Forget it, let's do this for now."
Sarlayan shook his head and sighed: "If I guess correctly, this time you should have the opportunity to talk face-to-face with Lord Ravencrest in person. I hope he can untie the knot that has troubled you for ten thousand years."
"What?!"
Jarod's eyes widened: "Lord Ravencrest was also resurrected?"
"I'm not sure, just guessing."
Sarlayan calmly analyzed: "Although I still don't know why the mastermind behind the scenes wants to awaken the ghost of Black Crow Castle? But if you think about it carefully, what is the most valuable thing in the entire Black Crow Castle?"
After regaining his composure, Jarod lowered his head and pondered for a moment: "Lord Ravencrest?"
"Correct, think about it from my perspective. If you were the mastermind behind the scenes, would you give up on awakening Lord Ravencrest's soul?"
Although Ravencrest cannot compare with the cheating Jarod in the military field, he is definitely considered the number one talent among the Highborne.
It was precisely by relying on Lord Ravencrest's personal appeal that the resistance gradually grew stronger, and Azshara even felt threatened and did not hesitate to send his henchmen to assassinate her.
If Sarlayan is the mastermind behind this incident, he will definitely not let this versatile military and political talent go, and will wake him up from his long slumber first.
As long as Lord Ravencrest's will is controlled with some kind of magic, all the soldiers in Black Crow Castle will obey their lord, saving them a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Sarlayan took this opportunity to return the Ravencrest Badge that Jarod had forgotten in Faronar.
Looking at the badge engraved with a black raven in his hand, Jarod's expression changed a little.
"Lord Ravencrest...I will definitely let him get rid of the control of the mastermind behind the scenes and regain the peace of death."
…
Jarod and Sarah Hill cannot sneak, and for hundreds of years they have been able to wander around the periphery, unable to reach the core of the incident.
Jarod once worked at Black Crow Castle and is very familiar with the layout of this castle.
Over the years, they have achieved nothing.
The two of them were very familiar with the patrol routes and patterns of the city's guards. This information provided a lot of help for Sarlayan and Valeela to successfully sneak into the Lord's Palace.
Under the watchful eyes of Jarod and Sarah Hill, Sarlayan and Valeela entered the stealth state one after another and followed the best route marked by Jarod on the map.
After officially entering Black Crow Castle, Sarlayan's inexplicable feeling became even stronger.
"Sure enough, someone used necromancy to forcibly awaken the souls of heroes who died in battle, and used control spells to limit their thinking ability and memory, so they could only mechanically follow a fixed pattern of action."
Sarlayan really wanted to capture a controlled ghost for study, but in order to avoid alerting the enemy, he temporarily suppressed this idea.
After taking a long detour inside the military fortress of Nuoda, Sarlayan and Valeela finally arrived at the Lord's Palace on the top floor.
"Sure enough, it's here."
A tall ghost in ornate armor was sitting on the throne at the deepest part of the Lord's Palace, with one hand on the armrest to support his chin, and looking anxiously out the window at the moonlit night sky.
"Latusius, has the vanguard of the Burning Legion arrived?"
The man known as Latusius is also in ghost form.
The goateeed mage wearing a robe and holding a staff respectfully replied: "Come on, Lord, please prepare for battle first."
Sarlayan's eyes flashed as he was hiding in a corner of the Lord's Palace.
"Lattusius? Who has heard of this name?"
[It seems to be the leader of the Moon Guard stationed in Black Crow Castle, a powerful upper elf mage. 】
【But this Latusius should be fake.】
[Ah... this is not the Dread Demon King again, is it? 】
