In the past two years of traveling, Sarlayan has also traveled to many places.
He climbed over the Snowy Mountains of Dun Morogh and visited Winterspring out of curiosity when he was a guest in Moonglade.
These two areas are both well-known cold areas in Azeroth, but they immediately pale in comparison to Northrend.
Northrend in November has already entered winter. According to the information provided by Melia, there are several areas that are absolutely forbidden to visit during winter activities in Northrend.
The first to bear the brunt are the Storm Peaks and Icecrown Glacier in the northernmost part of Northrend.
No joke, these two places can really freeze people to death in the cold winter.
Next is Zul'Drak.
The temperature here is not very extreme, mainly because the frost trolls living here are man-made disasters other than natural disasters.
As winter approaches, it becomes increasingly difficult for frost trolls to obtain food.
As we all know, trolls are cannibals.
Therefore, unless you are extremely confident in your own abilities, it is best not to deliver food to your door.
In addition to Zul'Drak, another area Melia does not recommend visiting is Crystalsong Forest.
It is also due to the environment, but it is different from the severe cold climate. The danger of Crystal Song Forest comes from the ubiquitous twisted arcane energy.
In comparison, the Grizzly Hills and Howling Fjord in the east, Sholazar Basin and Borean Tundra in the west are all relatively suitable places for survival in Northrend.
Note that it is relative.
For the high elves who have lived in the Eversong Forest all year round, they suddenly experienced the severe cold climate in Northrend in winter. Even Issalayan's body was a little uncomfortable and was shivering by the cold wind passing through the forest.
[Why do you feel like there are two words missing from this passage? 】
【Because you are not allowed to whisper.】
【...This joke is so cold.】
Sarlayan had no time to pay attention to the barrage of jokes at the moment. He and Stellagosa were adding clothes to their bodies.
It was also the first time for Stellagosa to come to such a cold place, and she was still a little uncomfortable for a while.
"This is called not listening to the old man's words, and you will suffer the consequences in front of you..."
Stellagosa joked funnyly: "It's best not to let Melia hear this, otherwise she will definitely be angry."
Around 1,000 years old is the prime of life for high elves. It is unacceptable for any woman to be called old at such an early age.
Spreading out the map given by Melia, Sarlayan checked the nearby landmarks and roughly confirmed the direction.
As Melia said, the place where she carved the coordinates is the Rock Spring, which is only across the river from Dragonblight.
Since time was tight, Sarlayan did not plan to deal with the furbolgs in the Grizzly Hills. After identifying the direction, he took off on Stella and flew straight to the west.
Dragon Bone Wilderness, as the name suggests, this holy land of the dragon clan is a barren snowfield.
It was here that the ancestral dragon king Galakrond launched a bloody battle with Tyr and the leader of the five-color ancestral dragons.
During the battle, Tyr had one of his arms bitten off by Galakrond, and after the war he replaced it with the famous Silver Hand.
To this day, Galakrond's huge bones are still exposed in the snowfield.
To commemorate this difficult battle, five Aspects were blessed by the Titans and chose Dragonblight as their base.
According to the custom of the guardian dragon clan, all dragons who are on the verge of death will try their best to return to the Dragonbone Wilds and breathe their last breath in this sacred burial ground.
That's what they say, but in fact there are quite a few dragons who died unexpectedly outside.
The blue dragon Queen Sindragosa is also one of them. Because her death was too tragic, she was the most obsessed among the dragons who could not be buried in Dragonblight.
Because Malygos has been mad, Sindragosa's graveyard is filled with powerful resentment.
The sparsely populated Blue Dragon has never been able to find the manpower or time to bring the dragon queen's body back to Dragonbone Wilds for burial. She is still left exposed in the extremely cold Icecap Glacier, and the resentment is getting deeper and deeper.
Compared with earlier years, Malygos's madness has improved somewhat.
But because the knot in his heart has not been resolved, he still goes crazy intermittently.
Malygos is self-aware of this, and he spends most of his time locked in the Eye of Eternity at the deepest point of the Demonic Nexus to prevent himself from hurting the few remaining members of his clan when he goes crazy.
But this is not a long-term solution. If Malygos suddenly goes crazy when he needs to be used, it may have a devastating impact on the originally finalized plan.
For example, when the five-colored dragon kings were fighting side by side against the Deceiver, Malygos suddenly became ill and attacked all living creatures around him indiscriminately.
Under this situation, the four-color dragon that was caught off guard was likely to be defeated by Kil'jaeden who seized the opportunity.
This time, Thalayan came to Northrend despite his busy schedule. On the one hand, he wanted to understand the follow-up matters of the black dragon's return, and on the other hand, he also wanted to find a way to resolve some of Malygos's knots.
The Dragonblight is a paradise for giant dragons. In this desolate snowfield, except for the walruses and yaks who have received permission from the dragon clan, there are almost no other intelligent races.
[No, there are spider-men in Azjol-Nerub underground in Dragonblight.]
[That doesn’t count. Although one of the entrances to Azjol Nerub is in Dragonblight, this huge underground kingdom covers the entire Northrend and has no conflict with the superior dragon clan. 】
Flying over the Dragonblight, Stellagosa can stretch her body unscrupulously.
Dragons of different colors can be seen everywhere in the sky of the wasteland, most of them are active young dragons.
The adult dragons either squat in holy places and sleep in various places, or they gather in the Wyrmrest Temple to chat.
Wyrmrest Temple is a tower-shaped Titan-style building located in the center of Dragonblight.
The towering tower is very conspicuous. Hundreds of giant dragons, large and small, circle and patrol around the high tower of Dragon Sleep Temple, which looks very spectacular.
When approaching Wyrmrest Temple, the dragon guards responsible for guarding the holy land came up to him and looked at Stellagosa with confusion.
"Who is your Excellency?"
Sharlayan stood up from Stellagosa's back and politely saluted the green dragon that blocked the way and asked.
"Hello, guard of Wyrmrest Temple, I am Sharlayan Deepshadow, and this is my friend Stellagosa."
"We have been invited by Korestrasz to visit Wyrmrest Temple. Please inform us."
Korestrasz, also known as Krasus, is the youngest and most favored consort of the Red Dragon Queen, and is also famous in Wyrmrest Temple.
Although this adult green dragon is still curious about the origins of Sharlayan and Stellagosa, he still remembers his guarding duties.
"Please wait here for a moment."
There were a large number of dragons patrolling outside the tower of Longmian Temple. This green dragon did not send anyone to watch the two of them alone. It turned around and accelerated towards the top of the tower.
Stellagosa had never participated in the Battle of Grim Batol. This was the first time she had seen so many of her kind gathered together, and she seemed a little excited.
"After the things are done, can we hang out here more? I promise it won't waste too much time."
Sarlayan smiled and gently stroked the scales on her back: "Yes, I expect to stay in Northrend for 3-5 days. As long as there are no important things that require you to accompany me, you can arrange your time freely."
"Yeah!"
Not long after, the green dragon responsible for delivering the news flew back, signaling Stellagosa to follow him and move toward the top of the tower together.
The top floor of the Dragon Sleeping Temple is where the decision-makers of the Guardian Dragon Clan meet to discuss matters. Simply put, it is the conference hall.
The return of the black dragon clan has had a great impact on Longmian Temple, which is why there are so many dragon clan patrolling outside the tower.
The four-color giant dragons are still suspicious of the black dragon's true purpose, especially the blue dragon clan who have a blood feud with the black dragon.
Since Krasus, Sinestra and others returned with the black dragon eggs, Wyrmrest Temple has gathered at the top of the tower for many days to discuss countermeasures.
Stellagosa immediately returned to her human form after landing on the top of the tower. There was no room for many dragons to appear in their true form here.
Sarlayan saw several acquaintances at a glance. He smiled and waved hello to the acquaintances who turned around and looked over.
"Your Majesty Alexstrasza, Your Majesty Ysera, and Sarlayan Deep Shadow have taken the liberty of visiting you. I would like to send my sincere greetings to you both."
The red dragon and the green dragon are the gentlest dragons to mortals among the five-color dragons. The two queens nodded to them with smiles on their faces.
Alexstrasza: "Long time no see, child of Inas. Since we parted ways with Grim Batol, I haven't been able to find a chance to thank you for your great help."
Ysera also said gently: "There is no need to be formal. Dragons don't have as many complicated etiquette as mortals."
The mortal forms of Alexstrasza and Ysera are both elves, the only difference is that one is a high elf and the other is a night elf.
Alexstrasza's red vertical pupils curiously observed Stellagosa, who had a somewhat reserved expression.
Sarlayan noticed a handsome man with a human appearance among the crowd. He was standing next to Arygos, who had transformed into a dwarf, and looked at Stellagosa in surprise.
'Want to fight against the five scum?'
Sharlayan made room for Stellagosa and gestured to her with encouraging eyes.
"Suck~"
Stellagosa took a deep breath, calmed down her mood, and stepped forward to introduce herself gracefully.
"Your Majesty the Queen, it is a great honor to meet you for the first time."
"My name is Stellagosa, and I am the descendant of Senegos, a member of the Blue Dragon Legion."
