Chapter 865 The benefits of having close friends all over the world
As soon as the division of the spoils was over, Moira didn't even have time to calculate the value of the spoils before she couldn't wait to leave with the Dark Iron dwarves who were also excited.
Sarlayan slowly followed behind the large army of Dark Iron dwarves, preparing to return to the rune array that had teleported Quel'Thalas' army before, and return all the soldiers along the same route.
Stellagosa has already passed the news to the Tower of Sunfury in Silvermoon City in advance, and it will take a lot of time to prepare such a large portal.
Sarlayan himself is not in a hurry to leave. He has not yet obtained the most important prize of this operation from Daglan, and Valeera and Onyxia's infiltration mission has not yet been completed.
After killing Ragnaros's clone, Sunderland's spirit no longer lost the sluggishness it had when he first escaped from trouble, and became obviously much higher.
The wind elements who followed him to participate in the Molten Core strategy were also more cohesive. Exotus, who had just changed his employer, was among the ranks of these wind elements, and he was good at wooing those officers who seemed to have more potential.
Until now, Exotic has not officially gained Sunderland's trust.
It is not easy for elemental creatures to switch camps. Now Exotus' body is still filled with a single fire element.
If he wants to jump to the side of the Sky Wall, Sunderland must first inject a large amount of wind elements into his body to make this guy truly "one of his own".
Just like Gulegman and Garr who were infused with the element of fire.
The Molten Core has turned into the dust of history, and the Blackstone Volcano, which has been highly active, will gradually cool down. Sunderland's purpose of participating in this battle has been successfully achieved.
As they walked out of the Molten Core together, Sharlayan chatted with Sunderland about his future plans.
"What are you going to do next? Do you have a complete plan?"
Sunderland, who deliberately shrank his body and became about the same height as Sarlayan, smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"There is only a rough outline of the plan, and the details have not been filled in."
"In short, we must first find a base, a territory where the wind element is highly active."
"The base...?"
Sarlayan touched his chin thoughtfully: "I have two suggestions here that are worthy of reference. It is up to you to decide whether to adopt them."
Sunderland: "Tell me about it."
Sarlayan took out an index finger and said, "One, it's the desolate place where you stayed briefly before."
"The Kingdom of Khaz Modan is not planning to develop the eastern and southern parts of the Wasteland for the time being. If I come forward to make peace, I should be able to get them to agree to your settlement."
Sunderland put his chin in his hand and considered for a moment, then shook his head after a while: "Forget it, I am a thorn in the side of Sky Wall. If I stay in a densely populated civilized area, the possibility of my whereabouts being exposed is extremely high. Soon I will be exposed."
It will attract a blow from Al'Akir."
"I don't want to implicate those innocent mortals who kindly took us in. Let's put this choice aside for now. What about the second one?"
"The second one...is farther away."
Sarlayan pointed his finger to the west: "I don't know if you know the current geographical situation of Azeroth. The ancient continent of Kalimdor in ancient times has long been split into multiple continents and countless islands. It was different from what it was 10,000 years ago.
Big difference.”
Sunderland complained angrily: "Don't think I'm a caged bird who doesn't hear what's going on outside the window. I still know about the split of ancient Kalimdor."
Sarlayan smiled and shrugged: "That's easy to say. The continent we are on now is called the Eastern Kingdom. The main residents are humans, dwarves, dwarves, forest trolls and high elves."
"On the other side of the Endless Sea, there is another continent called Kalimdor, which is managed by races close to nature such as night elves, tauren and furbolgs."
"The second base I chose for you is in the southernmost part of the Kalimdor continent, in a huge desert called Uldum."
In order to ensure that they can absorb enough wind power at any time, wind elements usually choose to settle in relatively open areas, and the most suitable ones are undoubtedly those vast deserts.
Considering that Sunderland does not want to have in-depth contact with the civilized society of Azeroth, Uldum, which is suitable for seclusion, becomes the best choice.
There are only two entrances to Uldum. As long as these two gates are guarded, no outsider can enter Uldum from the land.
The Tol'vir of Uldum have guarded the secrets of the Hall of Origin for generations. Even though the internal conflicts among the three tribes of Ramkahen, Neferset and Ossis have been resolved, they still have an instinctive rejection of the outside world.
If it weren't for Sharlayan's connection, the trade route between Uldum and the southern seaport of Silithus would not have been established.
Even today, foreign caravans must undergo strict inspection by the Tol'vir when entering Uldum, and unfamiliar strangers cannot obtain permission at all.
In the original history, after the Cataclysm began, the Sky Wall would be suspended over Uldum.
But this is not because the Wind Elemental Realm can only appear here, but because N'Zoth and his men coveted the Forge of Origin and specifically asked Al'Akir to lead the Wind Elemental in a large-scale dispatch to defeat the Titan Guardians and stay in Uldum.
of protective power.
Theoretically, once the seals of Hela and Odin are broken in the elemental world, they can appear in any corner of Azeroth. The location depends on the mood of the four kings of elements.
"Uldum?"
Sunderland's heart moved: "I heard about this area from Al'Akir when I was a child. It is said that it is one of the base camps of the Titan Guardian?"
Sarlayan nodded: "That's true. Uldum should have been guarded by Great Guardian Raiden, and has a similar status to Ulduar in the north."
"However, Leiden disappeared tens of thousands of years ago, leaving only a large number of Tolvir and Anubisas to guard the Hall of Origin."
"As time passed, the original Tol'vir degenerated into mortals under the influence of the curse of flesh and blood, and established an independent civilization in Uldum that had no contact with other mortal nations."
"I am kind to the Tol'vir. As long as you promise to accumulate strength in Uldum honestly, not disturb the daily life of the Tol'vir, and not covet the Hall of Origin, they should give me a favor."
"Um……"
Sunderland hesitated for a moment with his chin in his hand: "Can you let me fly across the sea first and have a look? In order to avoid misunderstandings, I need a token from you."
"sure."
Sarlayan took out a miniature Anubisas statue from the space package: "This is an obsidian gift given to me by the local rulers before I left Uldum last time. It is unique."
"As long as you show it to the Tovirs, they will be sure that you are my friend and will not rashly use force to expel you."
Sunderland solemnly took the statue and put it away: "Thank you, I will set off right now. At my speed, I will be able to turn back tomorrow afternoon at the latest. I hope it is as you said, suitable for our wind element life."
…
Before Sunderland left, he handed over all the wind elements to Sarlayan to take care of him. Sarlayan didn't care about it. It was only for one day anyway.
At his peak, Sunderland was one of the top combat powers in the world of the four elements. His strength and influence had even surpassed Al'Akir, the king of the wind element, and he could compete head-on with the king of the four elements.
Unfortunately, after thousands of years of sealing, Sunderland's strength has declined severely, and it will take a lot of time and absorb a large amount of wind element energy to make up for the deficit.
Prior to this, Salyan will continue to persuade Sunderland not to be hot-headed and to be fully prepared before starting his action to force his father to abdicate.
【The great filial piety belongs to yes.】
[Father's kindness and son's filial piety are the traditions of Azeroth, they must be respected.]
According to Sunderland's own estimation, even if he can find a more suitable base, it will take at least 5 years for him to return to his peak condition.
Five years is nothing to an elemental creature with an infinite lifespan, but to Sharlayan, in the next five years, the entire Azeroth may be in turmoil, and these five years are likely to pass extremely slowly.
After sending Sunderland away, Thalayan stayed in a corner of Shadowforge City, playing cards with Sylvanas, Liadrin and others while patiently waiting for Daglan and Moira's summons.
Stellagosa has always maintained contact with the Tower of Sunfury. She will temporarily serve as an energy transmission coordinate, guiding the energy of the Sunwell far away in Quel'Thalas into the large teleportation circle engraved with runes at her feet.
.
Not long after Moira and Sunderland left one after another, Sharlayan, who was pulling Lyras to explain the solution to the ancient stone leaves, suddenly heard a huge cheer from the city of Shadowforge.
Not long after, a female black iron dwarf with short legs and a thick waist ran over panting.
Sharlayan could barely identify the female dwarf by the different braids. She was one of Moira's personal maids.
...It should be her, right?
"Deep Shadow... Lord Marquis, ha~ha~"
Sarlayan gently pressed his palm down: "Domina, don't get excited, take a deep breath first before talking."
"Did Queen Moira and King Thaurissan send you to me?"
"Huh~"
The female dwarf Domina patted her strong chest and finally adjusted her breathing rhythm.
"Yes, the king and queen jointly invite you, the greatest hero, to attend the celebration banquet at the palace."
Sarlayan smiled calmly and nodded: "King Daglan is indeed very capable. Since he can hold a banquet... does it mean that the chaos in the city has been sorted out?"
