The Wild Hunting Group, led by Wakayin, rarely recruits outsiders. Occasionally, Sylvain will be tested at all levels before being absorbed into the team, and he will be officially included in the team only after he is sure that he can integrate into the Wild Hunting Group's fighting style.
Since the existence of the Wild Hunt, they have been guarding the order and peace of Ardenweald. Sharlayan can understand the confidence and arrogance of the Wild Hunt.
However, Sarlayan did not come here to visit because he wanted to join the Wild Hunt as a soldier. He hoped to obtain enough information from the Wild Hunt and formulate a suitable strategy to deal with the annoying Drust as soon as possible.
The high-level officials of the Wild Hunt headed by Hern had great doubts about Sarlayan's ability, but the Winter Queen herself spoke, so they did not dare to raise questions. They could only half-believe the Drust documents possessed by the Wild Hunt.
Give it all to him for review.
As for the subsequent command authority... Hearne said that you can take a look, but unless your plan can convince us, there is no way for an outsider to command an expert with the Queen's favor.
Sarlayan didn't pay attention to the questioning looks from Hern and others. Accompanied by the angry Moonberry, he sat quietly in the office and patiently looked through the information about Drust.
According to the records of the Wild Hunt, the Drust first appeared in the Shadow Realm nearly ten thousand years ago, which roughly matches the time when the Drust group was active in Azeroth.
Sarlayan learned a lot about the history of the Drust from the old bear Orfa. This special group is a transitional race between the Vrykul and humans, and Drustvar is their main habitat.
In the early days when Drust entered the Shadow Realm, perhaps it was because of the small number of people that it failed to form a climate, or perhaps because of other reasons.
At that time, the Drust did not like to cause trouble, and they would even make good use of the natural magic they had mastered to maintain order in Ardenweald.
Most of the early Drust were directly assigned to Ardenweald, and only a handful were thrown into Revendreth to undergo labor reform.
By comparing it with the history of the Drust in Azeroth, Sharlayan can roughly confirm that the Drust at that time was in a period when the orthodox inheritance of Thornspeakers was popular, and the Drust had not yet begun to abuse the power of death.
About 3,500 years ago, the souls of Drust who died due to internal fighting began to pour into the Shadow Realm in large numbers.
Some Drust people during this period were very different from the honest people who came earlier. They were arrogant and rude, wielded the twisted power of death, and liked to cause trouble.
Fortunately, these Drust people who were willing to cause trouble were thrown into Revendreth in large numbers.
It was during this period that something that troubled the Winter Queen happened. The Drust who were supposed to redeem themselves in Revendreth were successfully released from prison in just a few decades and were reassigned to Ardenweald.
.
Since then, the Drust rebellion that continues to this day gradually began to take shape.
Just as the barrage said, the leader of this group of Drusts is named Gorak Zaer, and he is a clan brother who is closer to Gorak Tull.
This family is the culprit that caused the Drust people to turn from order to distortion.
According to Old Bear Orfa, during the reign of Gorak Toul, the originally peace-loving Drust people made a 180-degree turn and became bloodthirsty and warlike.
All those who opposed the Gorak family were eliminated one by one by them. In the end, only the crazy supporters of the Gorak family were left. The fate of the Drust family also ushered in a big turning point.
.
"Huh? Wait."
When he read this, an idea suddenly flashed in Sarlayan's mind.
"This group of Vrykul commanded by Gorak Zaar are all followers of the Gorak family. What about the orthodox Thornspeakers who entered the Shadow Realm earlier?"
[Could it be that the madmen from the Gollak family have been purged again? 】
Sarlayan frowned slightly: "Maybe he didn't want to kill his own kind, so he hid in a corner where the Gorak family couldn't find him."
"Ardenweald is so big, it's not impossible to find a sparsely populated open area to live in seclusion."
With this question in mind, Sarlayan continued
The Wild Hunt's documents mainly record matters related to combat.
The subsequent books mentioned all the twisted Thornspeakers under Gorak Zaar, and only mentioned them in passing in a very small space. Some Drust people who were loyal to the way of nature left the group.
He fled and has been missing since.
"Um……"
After reading all the books given by Herne, Sarlayan put his chin in his hands and fell into deep thought.
"Moonberry, do you know the traces of those stray Drust people?"
Yueberry shook her head and said: "I don't know. The responsibility of the goblin clan is to take care of spiritual species and comfort injured companions. Other than that, it is just to have fun. We don't care about things that we are not interested in."
"If you want to know about the unknown secret events in the outskirts of Ardenweald, I can recommend you to visit the leader of the Fairy Wood Spirit, O'Farlan, who may know the information you want."
Sarlayan immediately put down the document and stood up: "Without further ado, let's set off now. Where is the Sect Leader Ofala now?"
After Sarlayan left with Moonberry resolutely, Hern walked to the table thoughtfully and flipped through the information that Sarlayan had checked.
"You looked at it very carefully. Did he find a breaking point?"
…
There are many fairy forests scattered on the outskirts of Arden Fairyland, and each fairy forest will be guarded by a powerful fairy wood spirit.
O'Farland is the leader of the fairy wood spirit clan. He manages all the fairy wood spirits in Ardenweald. Through the special connection between the fairy wood spirits, he can learn about what has happened or is happening near each fairy forest.
The leaders of the four major races in Ardenweald all live around the Heart of the Forest Temple, serving the Winter Queen at all times.
Under the guidance of Moonberry, Sarlayan soon met O'Farlan, the leader of the fairy wood spirit, in front of a tree house on the east side of the temple.
The bodies of fairy wood spirits are entirely made of wood. When they are not active, their feet will dig into the ground to absorb nutrients.

According to Yueberry, Xianmuling has strict requirements on the environment.
Once the environment around their habitat is turbulent, the fairy wood spirits will definitely be the first to sense it, and their state of mind will also change according to the change in the environment.
Let's take a more extreme example.
If the environment around a certain fairy forest is completely destroyed, the fairy wood spirits guarding the local area will most likely go crazy and attack everyone who enters their territory indiscriminately.
The Drust under Gorak Zaar are playing with the twisted power of death. During the years they have been causing trouble, several fairy forests have been destroyed by the strange death spells of the Drust.
Among the four major races in Ardenweald, Vocain of the Wild Hunt is a typical fighting sect. They most hope to solve the problem of the Drust rebellion, and then there are the fairy wood spirits whose homes are constantly being destroyed.
After learning of Moonberry and Sharlayan's intentions, O'Farlan agreed to provide help to the two without hesitation.
"Please wait a moment, let me ask the tribesmen."
O'Farland dug his legs deep into the ground and collected information from his fellow tribesmen who guarded each fairy forest through the connection of the earth's veins.
Sarlayan said with some emotion: "This method of contact is really convenient, but it's a pity that other races can't learn it."
Not long after, O'Farland opened his closed eyes again.
"There is news. The group of Drust people who live in seclusion in the northeastern corner of the Ardenweald Wilderness near the Val Fairy Forest. My people reported that they were seen clashing with the troublesome forest elves not long ago.
.”
"Val Fairy Forest?" Yueberry volunteered and patted Barren's chest: "I know where it is, Sarlayan, I'll take you there."
Sarlayan complained speechlessly: "As the leader of the goblin clan, is it really okay for you to run around like this? What about work?"
Yueberry waved her hand indifferently: "Nothing major has happened in the Blazing Blue Fairyland recently, so there is no need for me, the clan leader, to personally come forward."
"My task now is to help you deal with the rebellious Drust people as soon as possible so that the queen can calm down as soon as possible."
"Speaking of which..."
After bidding farewell to O'Farland and leaving the Heart of the Forest for the Fairy Forest of Val, Moonberry put her mouth close to Sarlayan's ear and whispered: "Are you really going to follow the Queen's instructions and throw those evil-doing Drust into the forest?"
Maldraxxus next door?”
"Wouldn't it be a bit unkind to do this?"
"Ha~"
Sharlayan sneered: "Madraxxus? That's not the place they should go."
"Since Revendreth, the place of atonement, cannot accommodate them, then there is only one place left for the crazy followers of the Gorak family."
"The Yanyan Abyss is the most suitable destination for them."
