Archeology is a long-term project, and results cannot be produced in a day or two.
Sarlayan is only responsible for setting up bridges for wanderers, and he will not be able to help with subsequent professional work.
At this point, Sarlayan's work in Pandaria has basically come to an end. Next, he will go to Krasarang Jungle to complete the personal commission of Shenzhenzi.
Traveling through the fog of Pandaria requires a lot of energy and stamina. After all, Shenzhenzi is already old. He has traveled back and forth through the fog several times in a short period of time. This old turtle is obviously a little overwhelmed.
Sarlayan can't stop yet. The war in Northrend in the north is still going on. He must provide strong rear support for his compatriots who stay on the front line of Crystalsong Forest.
The war situation in Northrend has entered a strange stalemate stage. The Drakkari trolls did not know what conspiracy they were secretly planning, and temporarily slowed down their offensive.
Loken seemed to have noticed some clues, and the old god was still sitting on the mountain watching the fight between tigers and tigers.
Sarlayan will not let down his guard against the Iron Army just because of Loken's exploits.
Despite the fact that the frost trolls are dancing happily now, Quel'Thalas really doesn't regard them as a serious threat.
Currently, the main force guarding the front line of Crystal Song Forest is the Ranger Troops and the Morning Frontier Legion, plus a small number of magisters.
The Marines of Kul Tiras are still fighting with the Vrykul in Howling Fjord. Although they have the upper hand, they are still unable to spare the manpower to go north to help.
Every country has its own interests that need to be taken care of.
Compared with Crystalsong Forest, which is already occupied by the high elves, the vast seaside territory of Howling Fjord is more suitable for Kul Tiras to pursue.
If the Zandalari trolls hadn't been restless recently and often clashed with the Kul Tiras naval fleet at sea, Daelin would have wanted to continue transporting more reinforcements to Northrend and completely defeat the vrykul's entanglement in one fell swoop.
.
Kul Tiras, with the two fronts at war, could not spare any extra troops to assist Zul'Drak's front line, so it could only rely on its existing manpower to advance slowly.
Before Kul Tiras intervened in the Zul'Drak battle, the ranger troops and the Morningfront Legion alone, with the help of the Grizzly Maw Furbolgs, were able to withstand the attacks of the Drakkari Trolls.
Such a situation will inevitably make the big guys in Silvermoon City have a lower opinion of the Drakkari trolls.
None of the four legions defending Silvermoon City were dispatched, and Quel'Thalas still retained sufficient strength to deal with Drakkari's subsequent attack.
Sharlayan is not afraid of a conventional war with the Drakkari trolls, but he is worried that the group of frost trolls will make some tricks under the instigation of Zandalari.
For example... encourage all Loa to take the lead and mobilize the strength of the whole country to launch a surprise general attack.
Considering this possibility, when he went to Wyrmrest Temple to ask for Ysera's help last time, Sarlayan specially sent a letter to New Shandara, asking the local Backlight Blade to strengthen the investigation of Drakkari's movements.
Loken's Iron Legion has still not participated in the war, but this does not mean that they will remain stationary forever.
Once the titan creation army joins the chaotic battle, Quel'Thalas must come up with countermeasures in time.
It is undoubtedly a stupid decision to use human lives to pile up Titan creations. High elves cannot afford to die.
Sharlayan had made suggestions to Kael'thas just a few months ago when the war started, asking the arcane puppet workshops across Quel'Thalas to increase production and supply all these newly produced puppets to Xinshan.
Dara City.
But this is ultimately just treating the symptoms rather than the root cause.
Arcane golems need to be made by high elf craftsmen, and the speed of production is definitely not as fast as Loken, who has the Creator Engine and can generate an army with one click.
Again, use Titan creation to defeat Titan creation.
The Nalaksha Engine has been acquired, and the next thing to consider is how to provide it with sufficient energy.
And how to continuously send out the Titan creations produced by the Nalaksha engine, so that they can pass through the fog and rush to the battlefield of Northrend thousands of miles away.
Shenzhenzi gave Sharlayan a suggestion and asked for help from his kind.
Shenzhenzi was born in the Krasarang Jungle, and was originally just one of the countless turtles in the area.
While traveling around Azeroth with Liu Lang, Shenzhenzi had some adventures, which allowed him to grow to the size of a small island today.
According to Shen Zhenzi, its kin cannot grow as big as itself, but its adult kin can grow to at least the size of a small mountain.
As the story of Master Shangxi says, Shenzhenzi's tribe is not an ordinary turtle. Both their intelligence and physique are far beyond the comparison of ordinary turtles.
When it grew to the age of Shenzhenzi, it was impossible to return home, and it was too lazy to circle the island to the Krasarang Jungle in the south.
The family and friends that Shenzhenzi knew have long since disappeared, and going back will only add to the sadness.
The story of Shenzhenzi and Liu Lang not only influenced generations of Pandaren, but also had a great impact on Shenzhenzi's fellow tribesmen.
Holding Shenzhenzi's token - a fallen turtle shell, Sarlayan bid farewell to Liu He and others and headed south, passing through the picturesque Four Winds Valley and entering the hot Krasarang Jungle.
Zhu He Chi Jing had long known that Sarlayan would come, and arranged an incarnation in advance to guard the entrance to Krasarang from the Valley of the Four Winds.
"It's been a while, Sharlayan."
Chi-Ji's incarnation looks no different from his original form, but it is not as powerful as his original form.
Sarlayan politely clasped his fists and saluted Chi-Ji: "Thank you, Lord Chi-Ji."
Chi Jing, who has always been warm and sincere towards others, waved his wings indifferently: "It's just a small matter, come with me."
As a local snake who has been in the Krasarang jungle for a long time, Chi-Jing is very familiar with the situation of his three-acre land.
After learning that Sarlayan wanted to find Shenzhenzi's kin, he volunteered to introduce them to both parties.
After flying over the majestic Zhuhe Temple and bypassing Chi-jei's perch, Sarlayan came to a place called Nayeri Reef.
"Hey!"
The incarnation of Chi-Ji stands on a hill in the middle of the reef, raising its head and making a beautiful chirping sound like a song.
"Wow!"
The originally calm sea reef suddenly began to be turbulent, and several huge round turtle shells surfaced one after another.
The approximate size of these turtles can be judged from the size of their shells.
Although it is far inferior to Shenzhenzi, at least a hundred people can sit side by side on the back of each turtle, and even more can be squeezed together.
"Lord Chi-Ji, long time no see."
The leading turtle lowered its head tremblingly and saluted Chi-Ji, and Chi-Ji's incarnation hurriedly raised its wings to signal.
"Ji, there's no need to be too polite. It's important to take care of yourself."
"Haha~"
The old turtle known as Ji said with a smile: "I know my body well. I don't have a few more years to live. I just hope that my tribe can continue to live and work here in peace and contentment."
Old Turtle Ji's cloudy eyes noticed Sarlayan standing next to Chi-Ji, and he twitched his nose unconsciously.
"Lord Chi-Ji, this is...he has a strange yet familiar smell on his body."
"let me introduce."
Chi-Ji stretched out his wings and pushed Sharlayan out: "This is a distinguished guest from outside Pandaria, a high elf from Quel'Thalas, named Sharlayan Deep Shadow."
"oh?"
Ji's old face showed a look of surprise: "Besides Pandaria? Could it be..."
Chi-Ji smiled and nodded: "Yes, Sharlayan and his companions entered Pandaria on Shenzhenzi."
"Oh, no wonder."
Ji's face showed a humanized look of surprise: "I didn't expect that our ancestors who had been away from home for many years would come back one day. Those little guys would be very happy if they knew the news."
Chi-Ji smiled noncommittally and turned to look at Sarlayan.
"I've brought the message to you. You can communicate on your own next. Let's go~"
Chi-Ji's incarnation turned into a bright red light and soared into the sky, flying towards the distant Zhuhe Temple.
Ji slowly climbed out of the sea and lazily lay on the beach to bask in the sun.
"Mr. Sarlayan, you came to us and the Ancestral Turtles specifically to discuss something, but it doesn't matter."
Sarlayan smiled and nodded: "Mr. Ji is so refreshing, so I won't beat around the bush."
"I hope to get your help to transport the Titan creations produced by Nalaksha's engine through the fog to the outside world."
A glimmer of light flashed in Ji's turbid eyes: "Nalaksha engine, Titan creation, our people have not heard these two words for a long time."
"Mr. Sarlayan, are you...do you have any contact with Lord Leiden?"
