Onyxia has been staying by Sarlayan's side in Unicorn Town for many years, and Sarlayan, Valeela and others have long understood this guy's true nature.
Putting aside the sense of responsibility of the group, the orders of the father, the expectations of the mother, and other attributes imposed by others, Onyxia is essentially a hedonist with a lazy nature.
Reclining comfortably on the sofa, drinking red wine and enjoying delicious food are her favorite ways to have fun. It would be even better if there were some interesting performances on site.
However, despite her lazy nature, Onyxia is not someone who likes to evade responsibilities. She will still complete the important things that need to be done with quality and quantity.
Onyxia, who had always been lazy, was uncharacteristically focused on conducting reconnaissance missions. According to Sharlayan, there must be a reason.
Although Onyxia refused to disclose her speculations due to insufficient evidence, Sarlayan combined the fragmentary information he obtained in this series of events and guessed the direction of Onyxia's suspicions.
.
"I won't sell it any more."
After meeting with Onyxia and Valeera, Sarlayan asked the Black Dragon Princess straight to the point: "Ony, are you suspecting that... Nefarian is not of the same mind as Deathwing? He is behind it.
A set of plans?"
Onyxia's eyes flickered imperceptibly: "Why do you ask? Have you found any relevant clues?"
Sarlayan shook his head: "That's not true, it's just a guess based on the current situation."
Facing the surprised looks of Valeera and Stellagosa, Onyxia smiled noncommittally.
"Since we haven't obtained the evidence yet, don't take it as a conclusion yet. If you underestimate Nefarian because of this, you will suffer a big loss."
Sarlayan nodded solemnly: "I know, I just said that, but judging from your reaction... I must have guessed it right, right?"
Onyxia spread her hands helplessly: "I can only say that I do doubt this possibility, but it is just a suspicion."
Onyxia didn't want to delve into this nihilistic topic without actual evidence for the time being. She changed the subject and asked Sharlayan: "By the way, where is Nefarian planning to go when he flies up? He doesn't want to go out for a walk again."
Circle?"
"Well……"
Sarlayan looked at Onyxia in surprise and asked, "You don't know?"
Onyxia shook her head in confusion: "Is there anything I should know?"
"Hmm..." Sarlayan raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows: "I didn't expect Nefarian to even hide it from you... Anyway, have you ever heard of the Black Wing Blood Ring?"
"Black Wings...blood ring?"
A thoughtful expression appeared on Onyxia's face: "You mean, Nefarian secretly built an unknown... laboratory above Blackwing Lair?"
"That's right." Sarlayan pointed to the top of the hall: "Stella and I discovered clues when we flew up all the way. The patrolling black dragons were not hovering near the throne hall of Black Wing Lair, but were
Above the higher mountains.”
"When we sneaked into the throne room, Nefarian happened to be discussing things with an adult black dragon named Baltos."
"During their conversation, the term Black Wing Blood Circle was mentioned. Nefarian also asked Bartosz to send all the recently recruited goblin biologists to the Black Wing Blood Circle on standby."
"So I make a bold guess that this so-called Black Wing Blood Ring should be near the top of Blackstone Mountain. Nefarian should have returned to his laboratory this time."
Onyxia murmured thoughtfully: "No wonder I sometimes can't find where others are. It turns out that..."
Only then did Valeela finally come to her senses from the news of the explosion: "So what should we do now?"
"If you want to find out the movements of Deathwing and Nefarian's true purpose, I'm afraid you have to go deeper into the Blackwing Lair, or even sneak into that... Blackwing Blood Ring, right?"
"Let me interrupt." Stellagosa spread her hands and interrupted Valeera: "We have overheard the movements of Deathwing."
"If Bartosz's information is accurate, it is unlikely that Deathwing will return to the material world of Azeroth for at least the next 3-5 years."
After learning the news, Sharlayan could clearly see Onyxia heaving a sigh of relief.
Although she had already made up her mind to abandon her father who had deviated from the right path, the intimidating power of Deathwing still continued to affect Onyxia.
She was worried that the old crazy dragon would soon regain its fighting power in its heyday and return to Azeroth with great force.
Once Deathwing learns of Onyxia's betrayal from Nefarian, he will definitely give priority to clearing the portal.
At that time, Onyxia can only give up her leisure life in Quel'Thalas and hide in the Dragonblight where Deathwing dare not set foot for the time being.
Onyxia has long been accustomed to a life of fine wine, delicious food, and the company of beauties (men). Now, if she is asked to sleep in a cave as boringly as the other dragons, she will definitely refuse.
Deathwing won't come back for at least 3 years, which means Onyxia doesn't have to worry about her father coming to clean up the house for the time being.
As for what the situation will be like in three years... who can say for sure?
Maybe by then Sharlayan, Valeela and Little Star will have jumped the final dragon gate and successfully advanced to demigods.
Moreover, by the end of this year, Blackwing Lair may be turned upside down by the establishment black dragons led by Abisian, turning Deathwing into a homeless commander.
Of course, this is definitely an exaggeration. Deathwing, who is hiding in Deep Rock Continent in the earth elemental world, still has many black dragons serving him.
Otherwise, with his current body being torn apart and unable to fight at full strength, he would have been beaten to shit by the equally powerful Stone Mother Therazane and the earth elements.
After finally meeting up in the Blackwing Lair, the four of them sat on the ground to discuss the next action plan. At the same time, they were waiting for Nefarian to return to the lair and were immersed in his experiments, unable to spare the energy to pay attention to the changes in the Blackwing Lair.
According to the information provided by Onyxia, Nefarian is an avid researcher.
Once he enters a focused experimental state, unless there is something earth-shattering that Nefarian has to personally resolve, anyone who dares to interrupt his experimental process will be severely punished, and may be used as experimental material.
Onyxia narrowed her eyes slightly and confirmed to Sarlayan: "You just mentioned Bartosz, right? Where is that guy now?"
Sarlayan shook his head: "I don't know. He didn't follow Nefarian. Maybe he went to the Black Wing Blood Circle first?"
Onyxia rejected Sarlayan's speculation without hesitation: "This is impossible."
"I know Nefarian and Baltos."
"Nefarian has a quirk. He does not allow anyone who is not related to the current research project to enter his laboratory."
"Although Bartosz is Nefarian's confidant, he himself is not good at research. His position is more like a chief secretary, helping him handle various chores."
Sarlayan said by analogy: "In other words, Bartosz is not allowed to enter the Black Wing Blood Circle. He is probably still operating in the Black Wing Lair?"
Onyxia could see through Sharlayan's eyes that he understood her intentions almost without thinking. This tacit understanding made Onyxia very happy.
"Yes, Bartosz is Nefarian's confidant and will definitely know a lot of important information. If we can capture him..."
Valeera finally caught up with the conversation between the two, with a look of surprise on her face: "Can we pry out the information we want from him?"
Onyxia nodded firmly: "Bartos's strength is not bad. He can be regarded as the backbone of the black dragon clan. He is only a little bit worse than Saberian who we are killing in the outer domain."
Sarlayan frowned and asked, "Are you sure you can take him down?"
Onyxia shook her head: "If it's a one-on-one duel, Bartos and I are at best evenly matched."
"But with your help, a surprise attack should be able to subdue him."
"At that time..." Onyxia pulled out the blade of the Dark Empire that shimmered with dim light, and a slightly weird smile appeared on her face: "It will not be up to him to decide whether to reveal the information."
