Amid the doubts that most high elves did not understand, Anasteria had given Sarlayan preferential treatment in every aspect since he was just starting out.
Sarlayan, who is naturally strong-willed, did not disappoint his expectations, nor did he let those who were waiting to see the joke take a bite out of him.
In the past three years, he has brought a lot of benefits to Quel'Thalas. From the rapid increase in his title, we can see how much merit Sarlayan has done.
Even Anastria, who had the idea of investing in advance, did not expect that the Dragon Clan would give Sarlayan such a big gift.
Recently, the old king has shown a cheerful face when meeting people. Even the usually serious Silver Moon Council has been affected to some extent, and the heavy working atmosphere has become a little more relaxed.
Sarlayan is not an expert in air combat and cannot give substantial guidance on training dragon knights.
His main task is to serve as a bridge between the knight and the young dragon, so that the young dragon and the knight can quickly develop a tacit understanding.
The work is not that difficult, but it takes a lot of energy and time. After all, it requires one-on-one guidance.
Even though he was busy with official duties, Sarlayan did not completely put down his personal affairs.
In addition to studying alchemy recently, he is also trying to tame the Valgara War Sword.
Due to his breakthrough to a new level of strength, Sarlayan has obtained the qualification to establish contact with the artifact.
This is destined to be another time-consuming project, and you can only have patience and slowly adjust it.
After initially becoming familiar with the use of the Valgara War Sword, Sharlayan handed over the upper-level dragon-forged blade Quel'Sera that he originally used to Valeela.
Valeela also needs to establish a tacit understanding with this high-quality epic weapon so that it can change its form according to her own needs.
This saves Valeera the extra effort of looking for a pair of one-handed swords.
If you rely solely on thin, thin and sharp daggers, you may not be able to defeat certain rough-skinned and fleshy enemies.
In layman's terms, it's scraping.
Of course, Valeera, whose main profession is a thief, cannot carry a two-handed sword to attack. Dual-wielding one-handed swords is the most suitable choice for her.
After returning to Quel'Thalas after her adventure, Valeera gave the black dragon teeth and dragon scales obtained from Draenor to the best magic blacksmith and leatherworker in Silvermoon City, and commissioned them to help create a pair of daggers and a set of
Light scale armor.
The origin of dragon teeth and dragon scales? Then we have to thank Comrade Saberian who kindly provided the materials.
Sarlayan's own scales after transforming into a dragon are very hard, and his self-healing ability is also very powerful. He does not need any external armor for protection. Wearing armor will actually affect his flexibility.
This is an innate bloodline advantage. As a mortal, Valeera cannot be as promiscuous as Sharlayan. A set of high-quality armor is very necessary.
Valeera had jokingly said before that she wanted to slowly collect the scales shed by Sarlayan and Little Star to make a set of scale armor for her own use, but she didn't expect that someone took the initiative to send a complete set of armor and weapon materials.
[Sabrian: Are you polite?]
[I cried to death. You have sacrificed yourself and yet you are so dedicated. Where can you find such a good black dragon? 】
[That’s enough for you! Have you ever cared about what Sabellian thinks? No, you only care about yourself!]
【...Hey~I'm pretending.】
【Hey, what the hell is this!】
After a period of design and polishing, Valeera's dragon tooth dagger was first completed.
In addition to dragon teeth, this pair of daggers also contains precious metal materials such as arcane gold and true silver.
It was also the first time for the magic blacksmiths in Quel'Thalas to create weapons made of dragon teeth, and every one of them tried their best.
Thanks to the efforts of these skilled magic blacksmiths, the Dragon Fang Dagger was determined to be an epic weapon as soon as it was completed.
When Valeera was a week behind Sharlayan and finally broke through the legendary threshold, the leatherworkers also completed the production of scale armor, which was also recognized as epic quality.
The equipment all over her body has been updated, and Valeela's combat effectiveness has been significantly improved, and she will not be so prone to scraping in the future.
If she wants to continue to improve the quality of equipment, Valeera can only focus on artifacts.
But the artifact is not that easy to obtain, at least at this stage, Valeera has not found a suitable opportunity.
…
In the underground martial arts training ground of the lord's mansion, Valeera, who had changed her weapon from a shotgun to a cannon, was sparring with Sharlayan, who had also changed weapons, and they were familiar with each other's new equipment.
Unlike Valeela, who simply switched weapons of the same type, Sharlayan was still a little uncomfortable with the War Sword of Valarjar.
These two war swords were originally used by the Vrykul, and their weight and length were obviously beyond the normal specifications. Each one-handed sword was equivalent to the large sword of other races.
Each hand wielded a heavy artifact sword, and even Issalayan's physique could not adapt so quickly.
On the contrary, Valeera has become proficient in Quel'Sera much faster. She has split Quel'Sera into two one-handed swords of moderate length according to her own needs.
Under Valeela's oppressive combo, Sarlayan, whose movements were a bit clumsy, could only take a defensive position first, trying to adapt to the weight of the two swords.
"Dang! Dang!"
Although he was unable to counterattack, Sarlayan, who focused on defense, did a good job in defense, and the broad blade of the sword blocked every swift attack of Valeera.
The two-sword version of Quel'Sera is a completely different style in the hands of Valeera and Sharlayan.
When Sharlayan used his double swords, he still used the same strength-based combat method. The speed was not fast, but each strike was powerful and heavy.
Valeela's sword is like a ghost. Not only is she extremely fast, but her moves are also very strange.
That is to say, Sarlayan is familiar with Valeela's fighting style. If someone else comes here, he will soon be overwhelmed by the weird angles of the sword.
Even so, Valeela won the duel without using Sarlayan to transform into a dragon or a god descending to earth.
Valeela put Quel'Sera into a fancy sword flower, and put them back into the scabbard with satisfaction.
Looking at Sarlayan, who was standing there staring at the weapons in his hands, lost in thought, Valeela asked with some concern: "It hasn't been officially recognized as an artifact yet? Could it be that Odin did something to this pair of weapons?"
"
Sarlayan shook his head: "That's not true. It's just that simple tacit understanding is not enough. It takes more time to get along."
"Although the artifacts are powerful, the divine weapons have spirits. It is not easy to get their full support. Take your time."
The next competition was between Valeela and Stellagosa. Little Star showed like a textbook how a mage who was closely guarded by a thief could get rid of the entanglement and turn defense into offense.
Sarlayan didn't pay attention to the first... I don't know how many times they had sparred. Little Tina came to the sidelines and sat down cross-legged with her head on her head.
Placing the two Valajar war swords flat on his crossed legs, Sarlayan closed his eyes and entered a meditative state, trying to continue to establish contact with the spirit of the divine weapon.
Tinagosa knew that Sharlayan was doing business and did not disturb him with any words.
After arriving in Quel'Thalas, under Stellagosa's supervision and urging, Little Tina did not let herself go.
The atmosphere where everyone is striving to make progress has also affected her. The little one will study with her sister every day to improve her own strength and knowledge reserves.
"Tina must not hold you back! I must grow into a young dragon as soon as possible, and I will go out on adventures with you in the future!"
…
Busy days pass quickly.
It was literally very fast for the barrage. In the next two months, what Sarlayan experienced was condensed into more than a dozen scenes, which quickly passed before their eyes.
In addition to working hard to improve himself and assisting the Dragon Knight Legion to run in, Sarlayan also took some time off to pay attention to the development of the territory.
In an era like Azeroth, where the feudal system is the background, lords have the highest authority within their own territories.
As long as he pays taxes to the treasury honestly and abides by the laws uniformly formulated by the kingdom, even the king, as the largest lord in the country, cannot overstep his authority and point out matters in the noble territory.
Regarding the development of the territory, Sarlayan listened to many barrage opinions.
Whether a territory is prosperous or not depends on population, culture, economic development, and military strength. All aspects need to be considered.
There are no special herbs, furs or minerals in the Earldom of Deep Shadow, and ordinary goods have no obvious competitive advantages compared with other noble territories in Quel'Thalas.
Sarlayan adopted the barrage and made a suggestion, intending to develop a specialty product for Unicorn Village.
This specialty product was inspired by Suramar in the Broken Islands. With the help of Melia, it was finally developed into a mature product that can be launched on the market.
