After returning to Azeroth from Draenor, due to being busy with everything, Sharlayan had not yet taken the time to contact Wyrmrest Temple to learn about the follow-up developments of the black dragon clan's return.
Now that you have decided to retreat, you must take care of other things first, eliminate all distracting thoughts, and concentrate on training the Paladins.
The affairs of the territory can be temporarily left to Valeera and Veles to help take care of it, while matters related to the dragon clan can only be handled by Sarlayan himself.
When bidding farewell to Valeela in front of the Unicorn Village, she took Stella Gossa and whispered for a while, and she didn't know what the two of them were whispering in private.
Wyrmrest Temple is far away in Dragonblight in the middle of Northrend. Neither Sarlayan nor Stellagosa have ever been to that cold Arctic continent before.
Under normal circumstances, only the icebreakers from Kul Tiras can travel between the Eastern Continent and Northrend, and there are no flights at all times. You must wait patiently for the last batch of icebreakers to return.
Sharlayan didn't have the time in Lordaeron to take a leisurely boat ride, so he planned to use teleportation to take a shortcut.
Teleportation has an important rule that cannot be violated. The person who initiates the teleportation must know the detailed spatial coordinates of the destination, and must have sufficient magic power to open a stable teleportation gate.
There is no need to worry about the magic problem, Sarlayan has reported it to the Sun King in advance.
In order to allow him to travel back and forth as quickly as possible, the old king temporarily gave him the authority to call upon the energy of the sunwell.
To solve the energy problem, the next thing to do is to find a mage who has been to Northrend and knows the local space coordinates.
This person is Melia Starwhisper.
Although Melia still looks young and beautiful on the outside, and is as naughty and mischievous as a child who has not grown up, she is actually over 1,000 years old and is a contemporary of Sallayan's father Julian.
Compared with those old-school elf mages who like to work behind closed doors and remain contented, Melia was very lively and active when she was young.
Although she cannot say that she has visited every corner of Azeroth, she has explored many places, including the ice-covered continent of Northrend.
Melia has never been to the Dragonbone Wilderness. After all, this area is the private land of the Dragon Clan. Most people really don't dare to go in and wander around.
In order to investigate the ruins of the ancient night elf city, Melia once took a boat from Boralus and sailed to the Howling Fjord southeast of Northrend.
Afterwards, she traveled all the way through the relatively peaceful Grizzly Hills, carefully bypassing Zul'Drak, which was filled with frost trolls, and finally arrived at the Crystalsong Forest, where the ancient night elf city of Shandara was located.
Shandara was destroyed many years ago due to the high-level elves seeking death. The local magic network structure was extremely chaotic, and a large number of trees in the forest were crystallized by twisted arcane power.
According to Melia, although the scenery of Crystal Song Forest is very dreamy, her investigation failed to achieve any substantial results. She only found some muddleheaded upper elf ghosts there, the kind that she could not communicate with.
"Northrend?"
When Sharlayan brought Stellagosa to the Tower of the Morning Star to find Melia, this archmage with unconstrained thinking was trying to make the core of a high-level arcane golem, which seemed to be from Sharlayan and from Sura.
I got some inspiration from the core that Mar brought back.
Putting down the alchemy equipment in her hands, Melia asked curiously while washing her hands with magic: "Why do you suddenly want to go to Northrend? It's not a good place to travel."
"Um……"
Sarlayan hesitated for a moment and decided to tell the truth to the elder who had taken care of him since childhood.
"I have some things that I need to go to Dragon Sleep Temple to deal with."
"Longmian Temple... it is indeed like this."
Melia was not particularly surprised by Sarlayan's answer. Instead, she looked like she had expected it.
"you know?"
"Don't be so surprised."
Melia smiled and poked Sarlayan on the forehead with her index finger.
"Your blood, which is different from ordinary people, has exposed a lot of information. You don't think I just smell and play with your blood, do you?"
Melia took down a blood bottle that was permanently frozen with magic from the alchemy display shelf nearby.
"Julian, who was wandering around like a prodigal, actually brought a woman back to Quel'Thalas to settle down. I, who have been very curious since I was a child, of course wanted to investigate the reasons behind it."
"Although I didn't know Inas's true identity at the time, her long pregnancy was obviously abnormal. No matter how stupid you are, you would have noticed something strange."
Sarlayan sighed: "So, you have been secretly investigating my mother's identity?"
Melia shrugged and did not answer directly: "Julian is also my playmate who grew up with me. I can't just watch him being defrauded of money and sex by a bad woman, right?"
"Later facts proved that although Inas had an eccentric personality, she was undoubtedly a good wife and mother."
"About genetic engineering..."
Melia had a meaningful expression on her face: "Inas had some exchanges with me. Although I'm not sure what she wanted to do specifically, I think it must be related to your delay in being born."
"Out of curiosity, I became interested in the origin of the other half of your mixed bloodline, so I asked you for your blood many times for research."
Sarlayan knew that Melia was such a research madman, so he smiled and shook his head.
"Have you already researched and come to a conclusion?"
"Roughly the same."
Melia glanced at the beautiful blue-haired girl standing next to Sarlayan with interest.
"This little beauty must be a member of your race, right? Valeera's very possessive little guy can actually tolerate her?"
"Ah this..."
Sarlayan's expression became a little embarrassed: "I don't know very well. The two of them often hide aside and whisper. I don't know what exactly they exchanged."
Melia smiled nonchalantly: "Forget it, it's none of my business anyway, I'll just wait and watch the show."
【Oops, I'm old enough.】
【Eating melon and watching a show is probably a beautiful thing.】
"You guys wait a minute, I'm going to look for some information and set up the teleportation array."
A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. Melia has not been to Northrend for many years, and Melia has almost forgotten the local space coordinates.
Fortunately, she has the habit of writing travel notes when she travels. By checking the records, she can find out the coordinate information that Sarlayan needs.
There are a large number of arcane puppets in Melia's mage tower, ranging in size.
She placed the larger bodyguard-type puppets on the lower floor of the tower to guard the home, while the puppets in the laboratory were relatively small and delicate.
Even if Melia herself is not around, these miniature puppets with humanoid shapes are still conscientiously completing their work.
Stellagosa curiously observed the production line in the laboratory.
经过几道同时进行的分支工序,所有材料都被堆放在固定的平台上,等待梅丽雅本人将其组合起来.
"Is this alchemy?"
萨雷安点了点头:“梅丽雅在炼金术方面的造诣非常深厚,即便放大到整个奎尔萨拉斯也是数一数二的.”
严格意义上来说,奥术傀儡这种东西属于工程学和炼金术结合的造物,一半机械一半魔法.
梅丽雅的天赋点得比较歪,工程学在她手中就只剩下一个单一的功能.
explode.
多次尝试无果后,梅丽雅知趣的放弃了亲手制作傀儡身体,直接外购成品,自己只负责最关键的奥术核心.
This is just the tip of the iceberg of Melia's alchemy achievements. If she hadn't lived in isolation in the southern part of the forest, and had just a little more social skills, she would have become famous in Silver Moon City long ago.
