Chapter 765 The deal is done, go home and shake people
The Winter Queen doesn't like the smooth-talking Bwonsamdi. Out of personal preference, she prefers pragmatic and capable people like Sharlayan.
After Bwonsamdi left voluntarily, the Winter Queen did not waste time on pleasantries and went straight to the point and stated the purpose of her visit.
"Salayan, I need you to do me a favor."
Sarlayan put one hand on his chest respectfully and saluted the Winter Queen: "Queen, please tell me, as long as it is within my ability, I will never refuse."
Given the opportunity to sell an Eternal like the Winter Queen, Elune's sister was a favor, and Sharlayan would certainly not let it go.
But he will not be carried away by this, and he will not stupidly pat his chest and take on tasks that he is unable to complete.
The Winter Queen understood the meaning of Sarlayan's words and smiled meaningfully.
"Don't worry, I won't let you do anything beyond your capabilities."
"Moreover, if this commission can be completed, I will ask a forging master to personally upgrade the weapon for you and give this weapon my blessing."
"oh?"
Sarlayan raised his eyebrows: "The remuneration is so generous, but it makes me a little uneasy. Her Majesty the Queen might as well state the mission requirements first."
The Winter Queen suppressed the smile on her face and said solemnly to Sharlayan: "I need you to go to Maldraxxus to look for clues and follow the clues to find the whereabouts of the soldier master."
Sarlayan: "...Huh?"
…
The Warmaster, one of the five Eternals in the Shadow Realm, the ruler of Maldraxxus, is hailed by the barrage as the only worker in the Pantheon of Death.
Let’s see what kind of monsters the pig teammates around the soldier are.
The eldest daughter Gristia - a rookie who was chopped up by a mortal, Emperor Denathrius - the mastermind behind the Second Five, the Winter Queen - the fisherman, Zoval - the idealistic madman.
If Sarlayan was the leader of the army, he would want to shout out the famous saying that Danmaku said before.
"How can we manage the Shadow Realm with these insects?"
According to the information provided by the barrage, while the fisherman and the rookie were still enjoying their lives leisurely, the soldier leader, who had always had a sense of worry, was the first to discover the unusual movements in the Yan Yuan.
The leader of the army is very capable of action and will immediately start to think of solutions when he finds a problem.
The Maw is the most dangerous place in the entire Shadow Realm, and mental energy is very rare. Logically speaking, Zoval cannot cause trouble in the Maw by his own strength.
The war leader suspected that there were other Eternals in the Shadow Realm secretly providing help to Zoval, and he decided to investigate the matter in depth.
Before leaving, the war leader may have had a premonition that his actions might encounter mishaps, so he left some back-ups in Maldraxxus in advance.
Neither Sarlayan nor Barrage knew what grudges and grudges had occurred between Denathrius, the soldier master and the warden.
In terms of the result, the war leader was defeated by the warden who had long since escaped from prison, and was imprisoned deep in Torghast, the Tower of Sinful Souls. He was also deprived of his memory by the warden.
Warden Zoval forced the amnesiac soldier to forge the Frostmourne Rune Sword and the Helm of Dominance.
With the help of Denathrius, Zoval threw these two dangerous artifacts into the material world, and handed them over to the Burning Legion from Nasrezim, waiting for these two seeds planted in advance to bear fruit one day in the future.
.
If there was no need to think about how to justify himself, Sharlayan could directly answer the Winter Queen's question.
The leader of the army was imprisoned in Torghast, the Tower of Sinful Souls in the Maw. He lost his memory and now calls himself the Talisman Carver.
But does Sarlayan dare to say it directly?
How did an outsider like Sarlayan learn information that even the Eternals of the Shadow Realm like the Winter Queen and Gristia didn't know?
Sharlayan: "Hey~ It's a bit troublesome. If you want to complete this commission, you really have to go to Maldraxxus. At least you have to find the backup plan left by the war master to support his theory."
[Actually, it’s okay. If you know the result in advance, it will be much easier to act backward than if you don’t know anything.]
[To put it simply, Maldraxxus is a veritable den of dragons and tigers.]
[As the country with the most martial virtues in the Shadow Realm, Maldraxxus has always respected strength, and those who lack strength will find it difficult to move forward in Maldraxxus.]
[But on the other hand, if the strength is up to standard, Xiaosha's actions in Marzoll will be very smooth. 】
[For those of you who have never played the Shadow Realm version, I would like to ask, what is the overall strength of Maldraxxus? Can Maldraxxus survive there with his current combat power? 】
[Thinking too much, Xiao Sa’s current strength is at most on par with the barons of the five secret courtyards, and is no match for those marquis lords.]
[It cannot be generalized like this. There is also a strength gap between the marquises of the five major secret colleges. The strongest ones are the Soul Selection Secret College and the Sacrifice Secret College. 】
[The Chosen Chamber of Souls is rich in warriors with powerful combat capabilities, and the Ritual Chamber is a gathering place for lichs. These two chambers, one physical and one magical, have attracted most of Maldraxxus' high-end combat power. 】
[In addition to these two secret institutes with the highest sense of presence, there are also the Sharp Eye Institute, which specializes in training assassins and scouts, and is responsible for intelligence collection, the Wither Institute, which researches and produces medicines (plague), and the Creation Institute, which specializes in making war weapons.
.]
[Salayan, the information we know about Maldraxxus was decades in the future and cannot be directly applied to the present.]
[If you really want to accept this commission, it is best to ask the Winter Queen for as much information about Maldraxxus as possible before setting off. 】
Sarlayan put his chin in his hands and fell into thought.
After resolving the crisis in Ardenweald, the Winter Queen presented a lot of materials as a reward, including the herbs Sharlayan needed and a large amount of yinite.
But unfortunately, people in Ardenweald, who worship nature, rarely use weapons and armor forged from metal ores, and Sharlayan has not yet been able to obtain the smelting method of soul steel.
Originally, he planned to take time to go to Ascension Fortress to inquire about information from Kyrian, but changing his plan and going to Maldraxxus would be a good choice.
The Master of War is the strongest forger master in the history of the Shadow Realm, which can be seen from the Frostmourne and Helm of Domination he forged.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Although the war leader himself has disappeared, according to the information provided by the barrage, his apprentice, the bonesmith Helmyr, is still in Maldraxxus.
Served in the Soul Selection Secret Academy.
As the apprentice of the war master, Helmire must know how to smelt soul steel.
Moreover, the Winter Queen also made a promise that if she succeeded in finding the master of arms, she would use her favors and ask the master of arms to personally reforge Valeera's weapons and add her blessing to the reborn Quel'Sera.
...To be honest, if it could really be realized, Sarlayan would be envious.
The barrage is only responsible for making suggestions and will not...and cannot interfere with Sarlayan's choice.
Sarlayan hesitated for a long time, but the Winter Queen did not urge him.
This task does contain great risks, and you need to consider the pros and cons before taking formal action.
After discussing with Danmaku and weighing the pros and cons, Sarlayan finally made a decision.
"Your Majesty the Queen, I am willing to take on this mission."
A pleased smile appeared on Queen Winter's face again: "Thank you for your willingness to help. I really can't find a suitable candidate, so I can only trouble you again."
Sarlayan smiled and waved his hand: "You don't have to be so polite. This commission can be regarded as everyone getting what they need."
"But before setting off, I need to go back to Azeroth and find some capable helpers."
The Winter Queen nodded with understanding: "Choose wisely. Maldraxxus is not easy to break into. It may be difficult to complete the mission with your own strength."
"During your return to Azeroth, I will collect as much intelligence as possible on Maldraxxus. I hope this information can be helpful to you."
…
Before entering the Shadow Realm for the first time, Sharlayan originally planned to enter the village secretly without using any gunslingers. He gathered enough materials and escaped immediately after rescuing Bwonsamdi.
But unexpectedly, the plan failed to keep up with the change, and he unexpectedly got in touch with the Winter Queen, the Eternal of Ardenweald, and directly entered the sight of the top officials of the Shadow Realm.
In this case, there is no need to be evasive anymore.
Maldraxxus is currently in the midst of a civil war. The five secret houses are competing for the identity of the heir to the war master. The situation is very dangerous.
The leaders of the five secret monasteries are called marquises, and they all have at least the strength of the demigod realm.
Each of these five marquises also has two barons who serve as assistants to the left. These barons have at least epic level combat capabilities. It is difficult for Sharlayan alone to thrive in Maldraxxus.
Now that the original plan has changed significantly, Sarlayan cannot continue to follow the script mechanically.
When he returned to Azeroth this time, he planned to immediately ask for help, at least bringing his three confidantes with him.
