Taking advantage of chaos has always been one of the most effective ways to grow stronger, and Sharlayan did not believe that Ner'zhul could endure this situation and stand still.
Although Lordaeron, which was caught in the battle between the two kings, has weakened slightly in recent years due to Terenas' inability to govern, as the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and it still attracts attention.
The Dread Lords and the Scourge are all frantically adding sand to Lordaeron.
Apart from the Dark Night Republic, which is far away on the other side of the continent and is still unknown to the public in the Eastern Kingdom, Lordaeron is undoubtedly the most powerful country in Azeroth in terms of comprehensive national power.
In terms of the people's living standards and the progress of civilization development, Quel'Thalas is still above Lordaeron, but the high elves suffer from the tragic birth rate. Thousands of years have passed and the population has still not grown significantly.
When facing sudden and extreme situations, the war potential of the high elves is still inferior to that of Lordaeron, which has a large population.
But there is a saying that goes well, if the population is not enough, weapons must be used to make up for it.
Over the years, Sharlayan has intentionally guided Quel'Thalas' Weapons Development Bureau to develop a variety of advanced weapons. To a certain extent, he can use these new weapons that are higher than the average level of Azeroth to make up for the lack of high elves' troops.
However, the high elves' inability to die is still a fatal flaw, which is also one of the main reasons why Quel'Thalas' overall rating among barrage netizens is not as good as that of Lordaeron.
In fact, after thinking about it, Sharlayan thought that having Lordaeron's big wind-catching tree top at the front might not necessarily be a bad thing.
As the saying goes, it's easy to enjoy the shade under a big tree. With Lordaeron, the strongest kingdom in the Eastern Continent, standing in front of it, Quel'Thalas, which is full of waste and waiting for development, can just sit in a corner and develop in a low-key manner.
After Valeela took the order and left, Sarlayan sat behind his desk and closed his eyes slightly, silently considering the next plan.
Tinagosa, who originally planned to rush over and sit on Sarlayan's shoulder to listen to his travel stories, was sensible enough not to cause trouble, and sat quietly aside waiting for Sarlayan to recover from his contemplation.
About half an hour later, Sarlayan, who had been concentrating with his eyes closed, was awakened by a loud noise outside the office.
"Snapped!"
The slightly rough sound of the door opening made Sarlayan's eyebrows twitch slightly.
When he looked up, he saw that it was his overly energetic mother.
Now Inas has a happy life. Her steady and gentle husband has always been obedient to her. The son who worries her the most has grown up and grown into a hero who is also well-known throughout Azeroth.
Inas, who is in a good state of mind, has almost no worries worth worrying about and lives a happy life every day. Compared with the painful period when she thought about revenge all the time, now she is living more and more happily.
Younger.
Of course, the image of a good wife and loving mother that she originally wanted to maintain in front of her son gradually collapsed, and the nature of the previous generation of dragon clan's demon king began to be exposed.
"Er smash! You are finally back!"
As if she didn't notice the wry smile on Sarlayan's face at all, Inas, who was still young and beautiful, smiled and waved hello to Sarlayan who was sitting behind the desk.
"You haven't forgotten your promise to me, have you?"
Sharlayan nodded helplessly: "Of course I haven't forgotten it. In the next year, unless there is something big that requires me to personally come forward, I should not leave Quel'Thalas frequently again."
"Uh-huh!"
Inasi patted Sarlayan on the shoulder with satisfaction: "As long as you remember, give mom some more time, and I will definitely find a way to solve your dilemma."
Sarlayan nodded noncommittally and moved the topic to other directions knowingly.
"By the way, mother, how is your research project going? Is there any progress?"
When this question was brought up, Inas suddenly slapped her palm: "Oh! That's right, I almost forgot to mention it!"
Despite Inas' usual careless appearance, her knowledge in biology and genetic engineering is probably unmatched by anyone in the entire Azeroth.
"I won't use academic terms that are too troublesome. You kid won't understand them anyway."
Inas took out a pair of glasses from somewhere and placed them on the bridge of her nose.
Not to mention, after putting on the glasses, Inas, who was a bit fussy before, gained a calm scholar's temperament.
As a dragon, Inas cannot have nearsightedness or farsightedness. This pair of glasses is just a plain decoration, more like a switch for her to make psychological suggestions to herself.
As soon as she put on the glasses, Inas's personality seemed to have changed, switching from the lively and joyful one to a calm and intellectual one.
Sarlayan still hasn't figured out which one is his mother's true nature, or maybe both?
After all, people (broad concept) are inherently complex creatures, and a person's personality cannot be defined in a rigid way by labeling.
"I'll just tell you the conclusion."
After calming down, Inas really had the aura of a great scholar. She calmly explained to Sarlayan: "Considering the high elves' physical endurance, I did not start with the high elves directly, but chose Alek."
The two guinea pigs assigned to me by Stassar."
'God damn little guinea pig...'
Sarlayan, who was complaining crazily in his heart, couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He knew who Inas was talking about. They were the two red dragons sent by Alexstrasza to assist Inas in her gene cracking experiment.
Sharlayan still vaguely remembered that their names were Trenistraz and Suryagosa, one male and one female.
In the past two years, Inas left Quel'Thalas on the pretext of seeking inspiration. Trenistraz and Suryagosa also took this opportunity to leave Quel'Thalas.
They returned to Dragonblight to report the progress of Inas's research to the Red Dragon Queen, and were not recalled by Inas until recently.
According to Inas, her latest research was inspired by an in-depth exploration of Naga life forms.
Naga was originally a night elf, and was transformed into what he is now after being "blessed" by the ancient god N'Zoth.
As a biologist, Inas attaches great importance to the various magical differences in characteristics between different races.
From this point of view, Inas believes that the emergence of Naga is inevitable, and their life forms specially modified by N'zos have high research value.
During the two years she stayed in Nazjatar, with Azshara's full assistance, Inas really cracked some useful genetic information from Naga's gene chain.
To put it simply, the life forms of the first-generation Nagas, headed by Azshara, did not undergo fundamental changes due to changes in appearance. N'Zoth only cautiously added ""tools" for them to facilitate underwater breathing and activities.
Built-in Parts".
Through genetic comparison, there is no decisive difference between Naga and night elves. This research result is also applicable to elven branch races such as Shaldorei, Faldorei and Quel'dorei.
This discovery provided some inspiration for Inas, and she also learned a lot of useful knowledge and experience from Enzos's body modification techniques.
The genetic sequences related to lifespan of Shal'dorei, Quel'dorei, Kaldorei and Faldorei are the same. The immortal Kaldorei only rely on the blessing of the external world tree to obtain a longer lifespan.
While studying Naga's genes, Inas discovered an important piece of information.
Including Vashj, the genes of all high-level Nagas have been slightly modified, and N'zoth forcibly locked their lifespan limits.
Combined with the low-level Naga incubator developed by Azshara and the infertile egg hatching method used by the dragon clan, Inas finally found the key node to break the situation.
"The conclusion is...it is very difficult to use conventional methods to fundamentally change the number of fertilized eggs produced by immortal species such as dragons and high elves. At least I can't do it in a short time."
Although he had been mentally prepared for it, Sarlayan was still a little disappointed when he heard this conclusion.
"Don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet."
Inasi pushed up her glasses with a calm expression: "Based on the knowledge I learned from the other world, and the situation of Naga and the Dragon Clan as a reference, I came up with an auxiliary method to increase the fertility rate."
Saryan suddenly became interested: "What auxiliary means?"
Inas smiled confidently: "In vitro artificial insemination."
After listening to Inasi's words, the barrage was silent for a few seconds and then began to flash by frantically.
【What the fuck? So this is what you came for?】
【Is test tube baby coming?】
[This kind of technology... it is best to be cautious. If it is not handled properly, it will inevitably cause a lot of troublesome social problems. 】
