Chapter 622 A gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall
After some mutual humility, Sarlayan finally nodded and agreed to use the Silver Hand himself under the persuasion of Azadas, Elonaya and others.
In order to distinguish it from the Silver Hand Warhammer, Sarlayan consulted Azadas for his opinion and changed the name of this artifact that had been transformed into arm armor - Hand of Tyr.
Although Tyr died young, his noble spirit of sacrificing his life to save his companions is still spread in the Eastern Kingdom to this day.
This is where the name of the Knights of the Silver Hand in Lordaeron comes from.
In addition, the territorial capital of Alfred Abedis, a senior member of the Knights of the Silver Hand, is called the Hand of Tyr.
Sarlayan was still familiar with the silver arm armor that was very close to his skin, with an interested smile on his face.
"If Uther, Dathrohan and other paladins of the Knights of the Silver Hand knew the origin of this arm armor, their expressions would be very interesting, right?"
Onyxia, who was huddled aside with her eyes closed and concentrating, suddenly became energetic.
"Do you want to give it a try? I'm looking forward to the scene where they will bow to you."
"Um……"
Sharlayan rested his chin on his hand and pondered for a moment: "Let's forget it. I'm afraid that if I enter the King's City of Lordaeron, I'll be beaten by someone sent by Terenas."
In the early years, although Sarlayan had the title of earl and real territory, people in Quel'Thalas and abroad still didn't know much about him.
This is because Sarlayan travels around the world on adventures all day long, and ordinary people cannot understand his course of action.
The ordinary people mentioned here also include Terenas.
Kael'thas knew that all of Sharlayan's actions were to protect Azeroth and the important things around him.
For the sake of Sharlayan's safety, Kael'thas did not make all the outstanding achievements that Sharlayan has made over the years public.
Otherwise, let alone a count, with Sharlayan's secret contributions to Azeroth, he deserves the title of a hereditary and irreplaceable duke.
Not to mention anything else, just taking back the Forge of Origin and the Engine of Nalak'sha for the Guardians of Azeroth is a monumental achievement.
Unfortunately, in order to delay Loken's attack, this matter cannot be announced casually, and Sarlayan's achievements cannot be known to the public.
After Sharlayan returned from his travels, his name began to appear frequently in the secret documents of Lordaeron's intelligence department.
In order to reform the long-standing shortcomings of Quel'Thalas, Sharlayan officially stepped forward.
First, he assisted Kael'thas to "persuade" the doubtful nobles, and then single-handedly went to Kul Tiras as an envoy to persuade Daelin to sell the ship, gradually stepping into the spotlight as the Sun King's confidant.
Although Terenas has become more stubborn as he gets older, the talent for political struggle he developed in his early years has not disappeared.
Before he fell ill in bed, Terenas repeatedly emphasized to the intelligence department of Lordaeron to strengthen the intelligence collection on Count Sarlayan Deep Shadow.
Now Terenas' condition has not yet recovered, and Prince Arthas, who hastily returned to the royal city, is temporarily overseeing the country.
Sharlayan didn't want to bet on whether Terenas, who was like a trapped beast, would take the risk and risk completely offending Quel'Thalas to ambush him.
A gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall. If it is not necessary, Sharlayan will never take the initiative to go to the royal city of Lordaeron and throw himself into a trap.
At least, not blatantly in an official capacity.
After officially obtaining the right to use Tyr's two relics, Sharlayan said goodbye to Azadas and Ellonaya, and Stellagosa opened the portal to return to Ironforge for transit.
Then, without any surprise, he was stopped by Magni, who couldn't bear to see it. He stayed in Ironforge for three days helplessly, allowing Magni to study the newly transformed Hand of Tyr for three full days.
…
"Huh~ I'm finally back."
Outside Unicorn Town, Sharlayan had already seen Valeela and Tinagosa, who were galloping towards them, ready to welcome the return of the three of them.
Valeera's sharp eyes scrutinized Onyxia and Stellagosa, who were beside Sarlayan, looking back and forth, as if she wanted to determine whether anything "disharmonious" had happened between the three of them.
The little dwarf Tinagosa looked aggrieved and rushed to Sarlayan before Valeera. She hugged Sarlayan's thighs with her short hands and began to complain, scolding Valeera for exploiting "child labor".
cruel behavior.
"Salayan! You are finally back, you don't know, Vali pulled her..."
Sarlayan rubbed Tina's little head helplessly and comforted: "Okay~ I won't make you as busy as you were during this time again. Thank you for your hard work."
"Valila, you have worked hard too."
Tina, who looked aggrieved before, suddenly changed her expression, climbed onto Sarlayan's shoulder like an octopus, and happily asked him to make a promise.
"This is what you said! You can't go back on it!"
Stella Gosa angrily lifted Tina off of Sarlayan: "What does it look like! You are a big girl now, don't act coquettishly all day long!"
"No! I'm not an adult yet!"
"Am I an adult now? You..."
"Hey, don't listen, don't listen, the bastard is chanting sutras."
"You're against me! Stop!"
"Hahaha! Come after me. If you catch me, I'll let you have fun~"
"Hey hey hey what the hell! You stand still!"
Seeing Stellagosa and Tinagosa running away from the town, Sharlayan couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
"The relationship between these two sisters is really good."
[I would also like to know where Tina Gosa got the idea of hehehehe...]
[Aren’t you talking nonsense? Of course it was Xiao Sa who told her, but 80% of it has been magically modified. 】
【...grinding tofu?】
【Grass! Don’t be dirty!】
Due to the delay of three days each in Ironforge, exploration of Tyr's Tomb, and waiting for Azadas to transform Tyr's Hand, Sarlayan returned more than a week later than expected.
During these nine days, Valeela could be said to have lived like a year, always worrying that Sarlayan would encounter an "accident" outside.
Fortunately, according to Valeera's observation, neither Oni nor Little Xingxing had made decisive progress in their relationship with Sarlayan, which finally made her breathe a sigh of relief and alleviated the anxiety she had felt during this period.
Sarlayan angrily hit Valeela on the forehead with heavy dark circles under her eyes.
"You girl have been worrying all day long. With your terrible mental state, no wonder Tina will sue you for child labor."
Valeela rolled her eyes on the spot: "Child labor? Is Tina considered a child laborer? She is older than the two of us combined."
Sarlayan waved his hand in a funny way: "You can't calculate it that way, Tina is actually underage."
"Haha~"
Valli pulled back the corner of her mouth with a smile: "According to you, Little Xingxing is not an adult yet, so aren't you the same..."
"Ahem!"
Sarlayan hurriedly interrupted Valeela's accusation: "Don't make random slanders, I definitely did not attack underage girls!"
Valeera narrowed her eyes slightly and looked around Sarlayan suspiciously.
"Why are you so excited? Is there something wrong in your heart?"
"No, wait..."
Valeera's eyes became sharp again: "Underage girl...did you take action against Jaina?!"
"No! Absolutely not!"
"Don't be too busy drawing your sword! Just calm down and listen to my explanation!"
…
Although their return plans were temporarily changed, Valeela and Sarlayan have kept in touch through letters and know exactly where they are going.
After a while of laughing and joking, Sarlayan and Valeera returned to the Lord's Mansion to handle official business, while Onyxia went to the town's opera house alone to watch a show, euphemistically saying that she was enjoying life.
The proud Tinagosa was finally caught by her sister.
Seeing her lying on the sofa with her little butt raised high and her face looking like she was about to cry, Stellagosa had obviously used a common household method to deal with naughty children - spanking.
Valeela ignored the intimate interaction between the two sisters and made a casual comment when reporting on her work.
"Although being able to send letters remotely is already a big improvement, this method of transmitting information is still somewhat inconvenient."
Sarlayan nodded in agreement: "Indeed, some situations cannot be described clearly with dry words alone. It is best to communicate directly face to face."
Regarding this point, Sarlayan already has some ideas, but it is not that easy to implement them.
His inspiration came from the communication base station mentioned by Danmaku.
Since the teleportation spell of a single mage cannot cover the entire land of Azeroth, let's change the idea and insert teleportation-assisted base stations throughout the world.
...However, it is too early to consider this now, and the prerequisites required to realize this plan have not yet been met.
