Sarlayan is born with an impatient nature, and will definitely accomplish whatever he sets his mind to.
If everything goes well, Valeera and Vereesa will not be away for more than a week.
Sharlayan didn't want to wait in Eagle's Claw Peak. He planned to complete his planned trip to Highmountain within three days, so that he could wait with peace of mind for the rest of the time.
Moreover, he said he was going to see Mulla, but actually Sarlayan's main purpose was to see the soul walker Black Horn.
That is the Black Dragon Prince Abyssian.
Sharlayan, Stellagosa, and Tinagosa are all people with connections to dragons.
People of the same clan should be able to communicate more harmoniously with Abyssian. An extra outsider might make the black dragon who has been isolated from the world all year round feel uncomfortable.
Valeela was very aware of Sarai's restless nature and guessed from the beginning that he would not stay at Eagle Claw Peak.
The reason why I mentioned this specifically was mainly to warn Sarlayan not to act recklessly while he was away.
Stellagosa did not understand the tacit understanding between the two and thought that Sharlayan was deliberately deceiving Valeera, but in fact both parties had already tacitly understood each other.
The optimist Tinagosa didn't bother to care so much.
While at the marksman camp, in order to avoid exposing his identity as a dragon and attracting unnecessary attention, the little guy maintained his crow shape and was not allowed to speak blatantly to other people.
This really frustrated Tina, a little talkative person.
When she learned that Sharlayan was planning to leave Eagle Claw Peak, she was the first to raise her claws to express her approval. Stellagosa, who had a softer personality, could only obey the majority.
While riding the giant eagle to the Thunder Totem, Sarlayan asked the young Rashan Skyhorn about the habits and characteristics of the giant eagle with great interest.
Giant eagles are unique creatures that live in the high mountains of Highmountain. They are ferocious in nature and have amazing strength. It is said that they can catch giant horned deer that are similar to themselves in the air and easily tear their bodies apart.
Sarlayan has no way of knowing how much it cost the Skyhorn clan to tame the giant eagle. At least for now, the cooperative relationship between the giant eagle and the Skyhorn clan maintains a very good relationship.
Rashan did not regard his giant eagle as a simple mount, but regarded this proud and loyal creature as a partner. The relationship between the two parties was somewhat similar to that of the Wildhammer dwarves and griffins.
Giant eagles are very loyal, but also very accommodating. They will only recognize one partner in their life.
The tauren of the Skyhorn Clan will grow up with their giant eagle companions, developing deep feelings and tacit understanding.
Once his tauren companion dies due to various accidental reasons, the depressed giant eagle will also choose to go on a hunger strike and die, and will never serve anyone else.
Compared with the dragon eagle mount of the high elves, the giant eagle's load capacity is obviously much stronger, and its fighting style is completely different from that of the dragon eagle.
Sarlayan also rode a dragon eagle. Although this kind of flying creature unique to the Eversong Forest has the word "eagle" in its name, its body structure is completely different from that of most raptors, and its living habits are also very different.
The Dragon Eagle is a relatively gentle flying beast, a semi-magical creature born based on the magic of the Sunwell, and has an innate affinity for high elves with arcane affinity.
The fighting style of dragon eagles is more in line with the aesthetics of high elves. They rarely engage in rough hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, and usually use fire breathing to fight from a distance.
However, the power of the dragon eagle's flame breath is worrying. It is completely incomparable with the dragon clan. At most, it can only serve as a containment.
Moreover, the Dragon Eagle's body is relatively thin and cannot be braced in situations where tough air combat is required.
Sarlayan had discovered the weaknesses of Quel'Thalas' air force a long time ago, and he had considered introducing griffins to the Wildhammer dwarves to make up for the shortcomings.
However, due to Lordaeron sandwiched in the middle, the relationship between the high elves and the Wildhammer dwarves is not strong. There is always a gap between the Wildhammer dwarves and the high elves who are still members of the alliance.
Griffins are the most important strategic resource of the Wildhammer dwarves, and they will not be easily handed over to other countries that do not have good relations with them.
Although Kael'thas followed Sharlayan's advice and sent people to negotiate with the Wildhammer dwarves many times, he still has not received a positive reply.
The appearance of the giant eagle was an unexpected surprise for Sharlayan, but it was not convenient for him to talk about it at this stage, and he planned to wait until he formally reached cooperation with the High Mountain tribe before discussing the matter.
Thunder Totem is the only large city in Highmountain, a majestic city built among the mountains, located in the very center of Highmountain.
The entire city stands like a huge totem pole among the mountains, overlooking the vast territory belonging to the Gaoling tribe.
The totem pole area is the main body of Thunder Totem. Other branch areas are connected by rope bridges. A large number of tents with tauren characteristics are distributed on the surrounding peaks.
Rashan's giant eagle landed directly on the flying platform above the Thunder Totem, and the person in charge of managing the flight point hurriedly saluted the young patriarch of the Tianjiao clan.
"Lord Rashan, welcome to Thunder Totem."
Thunder Totem is the main city of the Highmountain Tribe, but except for the Highmountain Clan, most of the Skyhorn, Rivermane, and Blood Totem Clan do not reside here permanently. They all have territories in various places in Highmountain.
Rashan nodded politely to the flight controller: "How is the situation of Chief Mulla? These two foreign guests want to pay a visit to him."
"this……"
The flight controller looked troubled: "I'm afraid it's difficult. The chief's health is not very good and he has recently refused to meet with foreign visitors."
Rashan was not surprised by this. He asked this question to let Sharlayan and Stellagosa understand the current situation.
According to the barrage, when players in version 7.0 first came to Thunder Totem, Mulla had been dead for many years, and even the fool Ulan died due to unexpected circumstances. The chief of the Kaoling tribe at that time was his daughter.
Meera Kaoling.
But that was all decades later.
Based on the existing intelligence, Saryan speculated that the chief of Mulla would not be able to survive this old injury, and Ulan was likely to succeed the chief within a year.
In this case, Sarlayan did not intend to waste time on the unconscious Chief Mulla, and could just wait patiently for the more familiar Ulan to take over.
"All right."
Sareiyan shrugged regretfully: "Mr. Rashan, thank you for sending us here. Let's take a stroll at Thunder Totem first, hoping to wait until Chief Mulla receives us."
Even Sarlayan himself didn't believe this. As a local, Rashan had already known about Chief Mulla's physical condition.
He smiled bitterly and shook his head and said: "Then I wish you good luck. I will ask the representatives of the Tianjiao clan stationed at Thunder Totem to send someone to be your guide."
"I'm going back to my clan to pay my respects to my father. See you again when we have the chance."
Sarlayan: "Bon voyage."
Watching Rashan take off on the giant eagle, Sarlayan nodded friendly to the flight controller who looked at them curiously, and waited patiently for the guide Rashan mentioned to arrive.
About 5 minutes later, a female tauren who also had big horns hurried over and led the two of them around the Thunder Totem responsibly.
The tauren of the Highmountain tribe had never seen high elves before. When Sharlayan and Stellagosa looked around, the residents of the city also observed them with curiosity.
Some calves had the courage to run up to the two of them and ask questions, but they were led back by their elders not long after.
After this guide's introduction, Sarlayan and Stellagosa roughly figured out the urban structure of Thunder Totem.
The main totem area of the city has two floors, upper and lower, each with a meeting hall.
The upper hall is called the Seat of the Holy Hammer. It is said that the Hammer of Khazgoroth is stored deep in the hall, and the surrounding area is very heavily guarded.
Unless there is a life-and-death crisis in Highmountain, this hall would usually not be open for use.
The lower chamber is called the Chief's Hall, where the Highmountain tribe discusses matters most of the time. Representatives of the Rivermane, Blood Totem and Skyhorn clans also live around this hall.
There are three avenues outside the chief's hall, which connect the territories of the three major clans except the Gaoling clan. These three roads are called the Sky Road, the Flowing Water Road and the Earth Road.
After bidding farewell to the tour guide, Sarlayan and Stellagosa wandered outside the chieftain's hall on the lower level together, and happened to meet a black-horned tauren who was telling ancient stories.
Sarlayan stood on the group of calves listening to the story and looked at the storyteller with meaningful eyes.
