If you think about it carefully, the origins of the spellcasting media from the Shadow Realm preserved by Suramar are very suspicious.
At first, Sarlayan also speculated that the materials might have been obtained from Queen Azshara's trade with some astral merchants.
This speculation is not groundless.
Azeroth's planetary defense barrier targets those races and forces that are malicious to Azeroth. Neutral merchants like Ethereal can enter Azeroth.
The information provided by Lord Moonlight made Sharlayan begin to rethink the origin of those materials.
'Is it possible that Queen Azshara...or one of her subordinates has entered the Shadow Realm?'
Considering the high-end magical civilization developed by the Dark Night Empire with the help of the Well of Eternity, it is not surprising that someone can break the boundary between life and death.
Of course, the creatures of Azeroth that have entered the Shadow Realm may also come from other intelligent races such as trolls, pandaren or dragons.
Lord Moonlight's character seems a bit eccentric, but he is quite friendly towards Sarlayan.
Taking this opportunity, Thalayan asked her about the race and personality traits of the last Azerothian who smuggled into the Shadow Realm.
"Hmm~" Lady Yue Mie frowned and recalled for a while: "That happened tens of thousands of years ago, I can't remember it clearly."
"Besides, when I look at it again, your race called elves all look similar."
"What impressed me most is that the last stowaway from Azeroth was a woman with a very arrogant personality. Even when facing the Queen, she always held her head high and was unwilling to take a low profile."
"Oh, right!"
Lady Yue Mie suddenly remembered something and patted her forehead with her hand: "I still remember something, that woman's eyes are very beautiful dark gold!"
"Oh~"
As soon as he said this, Sarlayan suddenly understood.
In the history of the shadow elves, people with golden eyes were believed to be capable of great things.
Typical examples are Queen Azshara and Yinlidan Stormrage.
Judging from the results, these two people did make great achievements, but their unique personalities and tempers also caused a lot of controversy.
Limited to women, with a proud personality and very rare golden eyes, it is clear that she is the light of light - Queen Azshara.
Judging from the information that Sharlayan has received so far, Queen Azshara is a very controversial figure.
The Dark Night Empire reached its peak under the rule of Queen Azshara. At its peak, the Dark Night Empire was able to push the previous generation of Azeroth's overlord, the Troll Empire, to the ground with explosive hammers.
The Zandalari clan, the most respected clan in the Troll Empire, was overwhelmed by Azshara's troops and forced them to sign a humiliating peace agreement.
If Azshara had no interest in genocide and didn't think these savage fangs could cause any harm to her country, the troll race would have been wiped out of Azeroth by the Dark Night Empire at its peak.
erased.
After subduing the trolls, there was no mortal race in Azeroth that could pose a threat to the Night Empire. Azshara turned her attention to the wild demigods of Mount Hyjal and the dragons stationed in Dragonblight.
In front of these extraordinary creatures, Azshara, who had always been invincible, finally gave up.
It's not that she can't defeat demigods and dragons, but these equally arrogant creatures are still unwilling to surrender to her.
This resulted in a tense relationship between the Dark Night Empire and the Wild Demigods during Azshara's reign.
When Cenarius taught Malfurion the ways of Druin, he deliberately avoided Zin-Azshari, the imperial capital guarded by Azshara.
No one can erase Azshara's achievements in governance, and there is no doubt about her strong personal strength.
But at the same time, no one can wash away the crimes Azshara committed by introducing the Burning Legion.
Failing to subdue the wilderness demigods and dragons made Azshara somewhat unhappy, but she did not take these rebellious people too seriously.
There was nothing left in Azeroth worthy of her continued attention, and Azshara set her sights on the vast universe beyond the planet.
With the infinite power of the Well of Eternity, Azshara successfully found another intelligent race in the star sea - the Burning Legion commanded by the bronze titan Sargeras.
At that time, Azshara didn't know that Sargeras, who had tricked her online, showed her false images, just like how Sargeras deceived Argus.
After all, among the three archons of Argus, there is Velen, a clear-headed wise man, and Azshara only has a group of sycophants who worship her beyond measure.
Without anyone to dissuade her, Azshara was deceived by Sargeras's description of joint conquest of the universe.
Using the power of the Well of Eternity, Azshara proactively established contact with the Burning Legion and provided them with the coordinates of Azeroth.
Azshara's decision triggered the ancient war that changed the territory of Azeroth. The once ancient continent of Kalimdor was split into several new continents and countless large and small islands.
Judging from the results, Azshara believed that Sargeras' decision had devastating consequences for the Night Empire.
She herself also fell into the sea when the world collapsed, and was persuaded by Enzos to change from the light of light to the current queen of Naga.
Sharlayan didn't know if Azshara regretted inviting the Burning Legion. At least at this stage, he didn't have access to the Naga Queen.
However, considering that sooner or later a huge battle will break out between the water element and Naga for control of the sea, there will definitely be a chance to see her in person in the future.
Regarding the evaluation of Azshara, the various races in Azeroth are very polarized.
The night elves believe that she is the culprit who brought disaster to Azeroth and that her crime is unforgivable.
The trolls considered her a arrogant and powerful enemy. When Azshara was in power, even the most powerful Zandalari trolls were overwhelmed and had no choice but to turn their tail between their legs.
The high elves have a complicated evaluation of Queen Azshara.
Including the first Sun King Dath'Remar, most people who have witnessed Azshara's power admire her arcane attainments.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! But this does not prevent these high elves from despising her stupid decision to lead the wolf into the house.
But as the saying goes, if there are a hundred people, they come in all shapes and sizes.
Dath'Remar's attitude does not represent all highborne.
The Syndra Highborne, led by Talviel, have always maintained a positive view of Azshara.
According to the archaeological documents found in New Shandalar City in the past two years, the upper elf of ancient Shandalar City has always praised Queen Azshara, believing that she was just temporarily obsessed and took the wrong path.
Even Grand Magister Elisande has a very complicated view of Azshara, and it is not entirely negative.
Different people gave different evaluations, which made Sharlayan very curious about Azshara, who has thousands of faces.
He wanted to see with his own eyes the powerful arcanist who was the first in Azeroth's history to break through to the demigod realm with his own power.
"Wow~ This is not good."
While Sarlayan was lowering his head in thought, Lord Moonlight exclaimed as he looked at the battle situation below.
The conflict in Mengge Swamp was just a small-scale local battle, and the total number of people on both sides was only over 300.
The Wakayin of the Wild Hunting Group did not have an advantage in terms of numbers, with a total of less than 100 people.
However, compared to Drust, the soldiers of the Wild Hunt were more well-trained, and their individual combat effectiveness and tacit understanding of cooperation were far superior to Drust. The two sides were temporarily at odds.
Lord Moonlight had no intention of interfering in this local battle. She believed that the elite Wild Hunt group could defeat these stragglers.
Just when Lord Moonlight was about to take Sharlayan back to the Heart of the Forest to revive, the situation suddenly took an unexpected turn.
Drust's reinforcements arrived at just this time, and their total strength reached 600, nearly ten times that of the Wild Hunt.
When the quantity is sufficient, quantitative changes can also lead to qualitative changes.
The enemy's new force joined the battlefield, and the Wild Hunting Group, which was still able to handle the situation with ease, was finally stretched.
Lady Moonlight showed a rare sad look: "We cannot let this small group of wild hunters be lost in the hands of Drust. Is there any way you can help them open up the situation?"
Sharlayan rolled his eyes angrily: "I have a name. My name is Sharlayan Deep Shadow. Don't call me that weird name."
"If we just open up the situation... we should be able to do it, but I don't want to appear in the Drust people's sight."
"Why?" Lord Yue Miao asked doubtfully: "They have a grudge against you?"
Sarlayan smiled bitterly and spread his hands: "Yes, the hatred is as deep as the sea, to the extent that when we meet, we will dig out our hearts and lungs."
"emmmmm..."
Yue Miao's expression was very complicated.
She has always been unwilling to force others to do things they don't like, but the current situation forced her to come up with a solution as soon as possible.
Sarlayan rolled his eyes and took the opportunity to propose a deal to Yue Mie with a smile.
"Otherwise, I'll do you this favor, but you also have to do me a favor. We all help each other and don't owe each other anything."
[This smile... Yue Miao, run away! Xiao Sa is going to trick someone!]
