Ever since the side effects of Sarlayan's bloodline awakening were suppressed by Dragon Flute, and the "brain-dead" symptoms gradually recovered, this busy man has hardly had any leisure time.
As the Green Dragon Queen Ysera said, racing against time is the characteristic of short-lived mortals. In the current turbulent situation in Azeroth, Sharlayan's vigorous and resolute actions are exactly in line with the background of the times.
But no matter how long the turmoil is, it will eventually calm down. At that time, Sarlayan, who is accustomed to being busy, will most likely feel unprecedented emptiness and confusion, and lose the goal of moving forward.
After Shang Xi's strict mental training, Sarlayan was able to look at life more calmly.
It is not a good idea to use busyness to force yourself to think less. Just like the elders such as Ysera, Inas, and Verles warned him, he should adapt to the survival style of the immortal species as soon as possible and learn to slow down and enjoy life.
Sarlayan is not stupid, in fact he is very smart. It's just that sometimes he is habitually stuck in his mind and can't turn around all of a sudden.
Valeera grew up with Sarlayan, and she knew him even better than Julian and Inas.
Today's "forced lottery" was planned by her, in order to correct Sarlayan's bad habit of running out of ideas when he was busy.
Sarlayan was not an unscrupulous person. He could see at a glance that the three women headed by Valeera were all thinking about him, so he signed the guarantee letter with a wry smile.
"Ha~"
Lying on the back of a big sea turtle, Sarlayan looked at the cloudless blue sky in boredom. He was in a rare state of mind and didn't even pay attention to the barrages that were still passing by at high speed.
A week has passed since Sharlayan and others left Pandaria.
Under the transfer of the Ancestral Turtle arranged by Ji, Sarlayan's four-person team plus the "free ride" Azadas, the five people successfully broke through the fog, used the stars to complete their positioning, and sailed all the way to the continent of Kalimdor
.
The Ancestral Turtle that left Pandaria with Sarlayan and others was named Entropy. Calculated by the age of the Ancestral Turtle, it was still in its juvenile stage and was not as large as the adult Ancestral Turtle.
Entropy's wide back can carry up to 10 people at the same time. A team of only 5 people can sit on its back and still have a lot of free space.
Although the swimming speed of the ancestral sea turtle is not as fast as that of killer whales, it is durable enough and can maintain a constant speed for a long time.
According to the plan, Entropy left Pandaria and headed west. It was expected to land at the southern seaport of Tanaris, then cross the desert and head south to Uldum.
Pandaria is located to the south of the central axis of Azeroth, far away from Northrend in the north. With the maelstrom in the center of Azeroth as the dividing line, the two continents are located near the north and south poles respectively.
After setting sail from the Mantis Plateau, the cheerful Entropy asked Sharlayan and others many questions along the way. He seemed very excited to leave Pandaria and travel.
Entropy shoulders the important task of going to Hyjal to recognize the ancestors and is equivalent to the diplomatic ambassador of the ancestor turtle. Cheerful personality and eloquence are the most basic requirements.
While Valeera and the other two were telling Entropy about the current geographical environment and current political situation in Azeroth, Azadas, who didn't know much about the outside world, also listened with his ears open, except for Sarlayan, who was lying a little further away.
In a daze everywhere.
During the voyage to the Great Desert of Tanaris, the team members headed by Valeela forbade Sharlayan from thinking too much and repeatedly asked him to take this opportunity to empty his mind and take a good rest.
Based on their understanding of Sharlayan, once they land in Tanaris, this worried guy will definitely think about all sorts of things again, so he can just use this boring traveling time to restore his brain power.
Sarlayan accepted the kindness of the three people and spent most of the week meditating, completely emptying his mind and further refining his state of mind.
On the 16th day after leaving Pandaria, Onyxia, who was responsible for the lookout, finally saw land in the distance on the sea level.
Without Valeera's instructions, Entropy, who was also inexplicably excited, headed north along the offshore area at the edge of the land, and finally found a port with a unique architectural style in the northeastern corner of the Tanaris Desert - South Sea Port.
The South Sea Port is a trading port built and managed by the tauren of Kalimdor. Many resources produced in southern Kalimdor will travel to the sea through here and be transported to the Eastern Kingdom on the other side of the sea.
Among them is the crude oil mining team under the name of Earl Deep Shadow.
After several years of development, this trade route has become very mature.
After landing at the South Sea Port, Sarlayan did not intend to show his presence. He just wanted to simply resupply and rest before continuing to Uldum early tomorrow morning.
The tree wants to be still but the wind doesn't stop.
With such an eye-catching turtle like Entropy, Sarlayan and others attracted a lot of attention as soon as they landed.
After several years of rapid development, Nanhai Port has become quite prosperous.
This port town is a mixed bag of adventurers, businessmen, mercenaries, speculators, poachers, etc. People of various identities come and go all the time.
As long as they do not violate the management regulations set by the tauren for the town, anyone can enter Nanhai Port and stay.
As for what will happen outside the town...that's not within the jurisdiction of the tauren.
People who dare to go to inaccessible places like Tanaris to make a living usually don't make stupid mistakes, and will naturally be more vigilant when going out.
As the saying goes, things are more valuable when they are rare.
When the curious baby Entropy was swaggering through the market, many eager businessmen came over to ask Sarlayan if he was willing to sell this rare giant turtle.
The answer is of course no.
Judging from the looks in the eyes of these businessmen and the desperadoes hiding in the dark, it is obvious that they have not given up yet.
"Hey~"
Sarlayan, whose intelligence came back online, helplessly patted Entropy's thick tortoise legs: "Look at you. You attracted so much unnecessary attention to us as soon as you landed on the beach. Can't you really become smaller?"
Entropy curled his lips helplessly: "If it is an adult ancestor turtle, with a few exceptions, it can indeed change in size, but... I am not an adult yet."
The so-called special case here refers to Shenzhenzi, who only became so big after another adventure, and cannot freely expand or contract his body.
Sarlayan looked at Stellagosa distressedly: "Stella, how about... blessing it with an invisibility spell?"
Little Xingxing shook her head: "Considering Entropy's huge size, the invisibility spell will not last very long, and it may cause unintended consequences."
The invisibility spell only removes the form, leaving traces that should still remain.
For example...footprints.
"that's true."
After a quick thought, he figured out the reason. Sarlayan could only sigh and appoint.
"Forget it, find a hotel to rest for a day and then set off."
"I'm afraid it won't be peaceful on the road tomorrow."
…
When establishing a town in a remote area with a harsh living environment like Tanaris, it is impossible to gain a foothold without some iron-fisted measures.
In view of this, the Grimtotem Clan headed by Magatha came forward and was recognized by Chief Kane Bloodhoof. The South Sea Port is managed by this group of black bulls with strong martial arts.
The Grimtotem Clan is not as gentle and polite as the Bloodhoof Clan. Anyone who dares to cause trouble in South Sea Port will be taught how to behave by the strong black bull guards.
At least in the city, no one with ideas dared to do anything for fear of offending the terrifying totem tauren who manage the city.
Early the next morning, Sarlayan's team left the town before dawn, catching those who were watching secretly by surprise.
Among many people, this team traveled a long distance from the sea and should have stayed at Nanhai Port for a few days. If not, they should have slept until dawn before starting preparations for departure.
Sarlayan's high efficiency exceeded everyone's expectations and allowed the team to avoid some trouble.
Well, part of it.
"Crack!"
Once again, he cut off a highwayman's head with a hand knife that contained the power of wind and thunder. Sarlayan shook off the sticky blood on his hand and shrugged sarcastically at the frightened bandits.
"So, why bother? You are too polite to rush here and offer to kill someone."
Facing these rabble, Onyxia was too lazy to take action, and just sat upright, leaning on Entropy's back to watch the fun.
Azadas also has no interest in mortal battles. His mind has already flown to Uldum, and he has begun to consider the engineering steps to restart the Forge of Origin.
The only ones taking action were Sharlayan, Valeela and Stellagosa. They planned to take this opportunity to gain some experience. No matter how small a mosquito's legs are, they are still meat, so they can still add up to something.
Sarlayan yawned out of boredom: "Ha~ Come on together, we have to hurry up."
