Sarlayan frowned and asked the little Xingxing who was a little distracted: "Did they say where the order came from? Where did the concept of twilight dragon come from?"
In the original history informed by the barrage, the birth of the Twilight Dragon was extremely accidental and almost impossible to replicate.
The Twilight Dragon was formerly known as the Void Dragon. It was a deformed product independently researched by Sinestra, the Black Dragon Queen in the original history, and had nothing to do with Deathwing.
Facts have proved that the void dragon, which has a short lifespan and extremely unstable life form, is the product of a failed experiment.
The Twilight Dragon is a subsequent iteration of the Void Dragon. It is a new dragon species created by Sinestra using the essence of the Void Dragon and the essence of the Black Dragon.
Although the twilight dragon's existence form is still twisted and deformed, they are at least more stable than the void dragon's state that may disintegrate at any time.
The twilight dragon inherits some of the characteristics of the void dragon and can freely switch between the two states of reality and nothingness.
But the side effects of rashly creating new life without verification taught Sinestra a huge lesson, and this lesson cost her her own life.
The early twilight dragons had low intelligence and were no different from wild beasts. In order to survive, they would attack all creatures that might threaten them indiscriminately, including their nominal mother Sinestra.
In the end, Sinestra died at the hands of the Twilight Dragon. Deathwing accidentally discovered her research legacy, and naturally took over the already well-researched Twilight Dragon project and handed it over to Nana who was resurrected by him.
Farian continued his research.
In the timeline where Sharlayan is, Sinestra was taken back to the Dragonblight by Onyxia before she started the experiment on the void dragon. At this time, she was still assisting the maturing Abyssian in the Obsidian Holy Land.
Manage the black dragon clan.
Without the Void Dragon as the foundation, logically speaking, the Twilight Dragon should not be able to appear.
So the question is, what exactly is the twilight dragon mentioned in the mission conveyed to Nefarian?
Sarlayan already guessed who gave Nefarian the order.
The only person qualified to command the Black Dragon Prince, apart from N'Zoth, the master served by the rebellious black dragons, is Nefarian's father, Deathwing.
At the end of the Second Orc War, Sarlayan, Valeera, Vereesa and Ronin sneaked into Grim Batol where the Red Dragon Queen was imprisoned.
The three dragon kings who signaled all called over.
In the battle of Grim Batol, Deathwing faced four Aspect Dragons who had regained their strength at the same time, and was beaten very badly.
If Malygos, who was still mentally ill, had not done bad things with good intentions, Deathwing would have been trapped and killed by Sarlayan before he could escape Grim Batol.
But there are not so many ifs in this world. If you fail, you will fail.
After the fixed body armor plate was forcibly lifted off, Deathwing suffered heavy damage and fought with Malygos all the way to the middle of the sea.
Although Malygos tried very hard to kill Deathwing, the physical condition of the blue dragons was indeed not comparable to that of the black dragons.
In the end, Deathwing escaped. According to Malygos's later recollection as he gradually regained consciousness, Deathwing, who was seriously injured, plunged into the maelstrom in the center of the Endless Sea in a very embarrassed state. He once thought that the other party wanted to commit suicide.
To this day, Sharlayan still doesn't know enough about the nature of the Maelstrom. He only knows that this thing is an abnormal product that appeared after the explosion of the Well of Eternity. The barrage nicknamed it the navel of Azeroth.
First of all, it is certain that the maelstrom has the function of teleportation, but the prerequisite for using it is that it can withstand the terrifying rotation force of the maelstrom. Otherwise, if you rush into the whirlpool, you will only be torn into pieces by the violent water flow.
As the Dragon King of the Earth, Deathwing obviously has this capital. He transferred to another special plane through the teleportation ability of the Maelstrom, and finally got rid of Malygos's stalking.
Including Wyrmrest Temple, no one knows where Deathwing has gone. He has completely disappeared since then, and until today, there is no trace related to him.
Although Deathwing has long been corrupted by the ancient gods, he still retains his talent as the Dragon King of the Earth, able to absorb energy from the earth to repair his own injuries.
Forcibly tearing open the armor plate and exposing Deathwing's torn body caused considerable damage, but it was not so much that he would not be able to recover for several years.
So where has Deathwing been hiding and what has he been planning secretly in the past few years?
Wyrmrest Temple has been looking for the answer to this question, and Sarlayan, who read the script in advance, can answer this question clearly.
Deathwing hides in the Deep Rock Continent of the Earth Elemental Realm, and uses the abundant earth elemental energy in the Elemental Subplane to repair his injuries.
Of course, just repairing the injury is not enough. Having learned the lesson from the armor plate being ripped open last time, Deathwing decided to build a stronger body-covering armor for himself.
This time, he chose source ore as the raw material, which has high strength and energy ductility.
Just as Sarlayan told Stella Gosakop before, source ore will only grow in areas with extremely high element concentrations, and the earth elemental realm is undoubtedly one of the areas that best meets the standards.
The amount of elementium ore required to make the armor is too large. It is impossible for Deathwing to make it according to the standards of elementium ingots. He does not have a territory like Sharlayan... or even the support of the entire Quel'Thalas.
When Deathwing rushed into Deepholm, Stonemother Therazane learned the news.
The uninvited arrival of the trouble-causing Earth Dragon King made Stonemother very unhappy. She had been trying to drive Deathwing out of Deepholm for many years, but unfortunately she had never been able to do so.
Deathwing, who had just entered Deep Rock Continent, was alone. Faced with the mistress who commanded the entire earth elemental world, he could only avoid her if he couldn't afford to offend her.
According to what was mentioned in the report of General Drakisas, Deathwing seems to have established a line with one of the goblins through Nefarian.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! These goblins agreed to go to Deepholm to smelt cheap and low-quality elementium ingots, use these elementium ingots to create a new set of armor and fix Deathwing's cracked body.
By referring to the size of Deathwing, we can roughly draw a conclusion. Building such a fitting giant armor requires a lot of manpower, material resources and time resources.
Ever since the Battle of Grim Batol, Deathwing has been dormant in Deepholm, preferring to be driven away by the Stone Mother in all possible ways rather than move.
After holding back for several years, Sarlayan finally heard the news related to the fallen Black Dragon King again through Valeela's investigation, and it also involved heavyweight information about the Twilight Dragon.
Sarlayan boldly guessed that the twilight dragons mentioned by Deathwing were not the same species as those studied by Sinestra in the original history, but they just happened to have the same name.
The word "Twilight" originally originated from the Twilight Hammer clan of Cho'gall, and it has no profound meaning.
Under the operation of Cho'gall, who is good at marketing, the word twilight was extended to "bringing the judgment of twilight to Azeroth".
Contrary to the dawn, which is often used by mortal races to represent hope, the word twilight represents despair, which means that the sun will eventually set and the world will return to darkness.
As a member of the Ancient God system, it was not surprising that Deathwing named the new experimental dragon species Twilight Dragon. What Sarlayan was curious about was what special abilities the big-chinned version of Twilight Dragon would have.
The dragon clan is an immortal species and is not sensitive to the concept of the passage of time, and the contact with each other is not very close.
After General Dakisas's routine report to Nefarian ends, there will probably be no chance of such close eavesdropping for a long time.
Valeera and Onyxia have already visited the upper levels of Blackrock Tower and cannot obtain any more useful information.
At this moment, the two of them were lurking in front of the passage to Blackwing Lair on the upper level of Blackrock Tower, patiently waiting for further instructions from Sarlayan.
"Um……"
Sarlayan lowered his head and thought for a while: "Although we are very worried about the safety of Valeera and Oni, right now we must find out what the so-called Twilight Dragon Project is, and when Deathwing plans to officially return.
"
After a moment of silence, Sharlayan said firmly to Stellagosa: "Let them continue to go deep into the Blackwing Lair, but they must be cautious."
"If you are unfortunately exposed, you must not act out of impulse. Find a place to hide and delay as much as possible. I will find a way to provide help from the outside."
Stellagosa nodded slightly numbly: "I will tell them immediately, but..."
Talking about the safety of Onyxia and Valeera, Stellagosa temporarily focused all her attention here, and asked very worriedly: "What are you going to do? There should be several people in Blackwing Lair.
Only an adult dragon, relying solely on our current strength..."
Sarlayan looked up to the west of the room, as if he could see the other end of the distant sea through the many obstacles underground.
"Have you forgotten? At Sunderland's flying speed, we will be back soon after going to Uldum to survey the environment."
"Except for Nefarian himself, the other adult black dragons in Blackwing Lair are all standard demigod goalkeepers."
"If Onyxia and Sunderland can unexpectedly cooperate inside and outside... it is not impossible to take the opportunity to rescue Valeela and Oni who are trapped inside."
"Of course..." Sarlayan sighed softly: "I hope the situation will not develop to that point, but we still have to prepare for the worst, so as not to be in a hurry when it comes to the end."
