Since gaining the ability to communicate with people from another world, Sarlayan's words have inevitably been affected by the barrage.
Just like the taunt he shouted to Mattis before, it was taught to him by some people in the barrage, and it is said that the effect is outstanding.
Sarlayan's ability to accept new things is not bad at all, at least he is much more open-minded than his stubborn and conservative high elves.
Even so, he often couldn't understand what the barrage was saying.
Sarlayan had heard about the tauren from the stories his father had told before. It was said that they lived on another continent across the sea.
When he was a child, Sarlayan also made a wish, hoping to have the opportunity to travel to the continent called Kalimdor in the future.
As for what a pure love warrior is... Sarlayan is even more confused.
Valeera, who was still angry, was still acting out her temper, and Sarlayan had no time to ask more questions, so he could only calm down Miss Squirrel in front of him.
Valeera is actually more precocious than Sarlayan imagined, and she is not an unreasonable person.
She clearly saw Sylvanas' attitude towards Sarlayan. The second daughter of the Windrunner family did not really fall in love with Sarlayan, she was just looking for fun.
But this was also an opportunity for Valeera. She could use the topic to try to make her childhood sweetheart aware of her feelings.
Valeera's mother told her a truth a few years ago.
Between lovers, whoever confesses first will be in a weak position, and the one who is confessed can have more leverage.
In view of this, Valeera hoped to wait until Sarlayan took the initiative before she could take the opportunity to make some "small" requests.
…
"Huh~"
In the ballroom where the crowd gradually dispersed, Anasteria looked exhausted after a busy day.
Anasteria, who is now over 3,200 years old, has been on the throne for more than 3,000 years. He has personally experienced the most difficult period of Quel'Thalas, and has also proudly witnessed the kingdom gradually becoming stable and prosperous after the Troll War.
As he enters his twilight years, Anastria has become increasingly depressed in recent years.
Peaceful times are okay. Apart from the intrigues with the Silver Moon Council, there aren't many things to worry about. All you need to do is distribute the work in a step-by-step manner.
This time, when the tribesmen came to the city, Anasteria was unable to rest well for a long time, which had a serious impact on an old man.
Originally, Anasteria wanted to recall Kael'thas from Dalaran after everything stabilized, and gradually transfer power to the only prince of Quel'Thalas.
The sudden rise of Darkan Drasil made the old king hesitate again.
He was worried that young Kael'thas would not be able to defeat the wily Senator Drathil.
It wasn't until Darkan walked out of the ballroom with the other congressmen that Anasteria withdrew her slightly cloudy eyes and raised her hand to rub her brows.
"His Majesty."
A figure walked out of the shadows beside the Sun King, lowered his head respectfully and reported: "Valeera has brought Sarlayan to the study in the side hall."
"knew."
The tired Anasteria sighed silently, steeled herself, and slowly walked towards the side door with the gorgeous king's scepter in hand.
"Villes, you haven't had a face-to-face interaction with Sarlayan for a long time, right? Come with me, there's no need to sneak."
There was no change in the face of the ordinary-looking Villes Shenying, except for a flash of waves in his eyes.
"As commanded."
Outside the ballroom, the vague sight behind him finally disappeared, and Darkan breathed a sigh of relief.
'Sure enough, there is no investigation, so we have passed this test. '
Dar'Kan was self-aware, and he knew that his actions of instigating Matis Flame Eagle could not be hidden from the Sun King.
Based on the unsettled status quo of Quel'Thalas, he speculated that Anasteria, which was increasingly conservative in its behavior, would not break up with the Silver Moon Council at this time.
Facts have proved that he won the bet, but not completely.
Mattis failed to find out Sarlayan's true identity.
From the perspective of Archmage Darkan, the previous battle between the two was just a mere novice pecking each other, and there was nothing special worth paying attention to.
'Don't be impatient, Dar'Kan Drathil. '
After saying goodbye to his colleagues reluctantly, Darkan finally put down the mask he had been wearing and looked up at the full moon in the sky with an indifferent expression.
'The most difficult period has passed, and there will be opportunities to continue testing in the future. The most important thing for high elves is time and patience. '
…
After taking Sarlayan to the study in the side hall, Valeela consciously walked outside the door and stood guard.
Before Anasteria arrived, the barrage started a lively discussion.
"So, what does the old king want?"
"There are not enough clues to make a conclusion."
"Do you think Anasteria already knew Sarlayan's true identity?"
"It's not impossible. After all, he is the king of a country, and he also controls a powerful intelligence organization like the Backlight Blade, and..."
"The leader of the Backlight Blade is a relative of Sarlayan. Isn't it strange that Anasteria doesn't know the secrets of the Deep Shadow Family?"
"If you think about it this way, could Anasteria's separate summons this time be just to win over Sarlayan?"
"Don't make random guesses. Just keep reading patiently. Maybe the answer will be revealed soon."
Not long after, Sarlayan heard the footsteps coming from outside the door, and Valeela's respectful greeting in a low voice.
Judging from the soft sound and echo of the feet, there was only one person coming, and he was underweight. It should be the Sun King Anasteria.
Although Sarlayan had never been interested in the powerful, but he was about to face the head of a country, he still subconsciously adjusted his appearance and stood up from his seat to show respect.
"Click~"
The study door was pushed open.
Contrary to Sarlayan's expectation, the first person to walk in was his uncle whom he had not seen for a long time, Veles Deep Shadow.
'No wonder I didn't hear the footsteps. '
Veles and Sarlayan looked at each other, then quickly looked away, signaling Sarlayan to turn his attention behind him.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
After Verles confirmed the safety of the study, his beard and hair turned white, and he slowly walked in facing the old Anasteria.
With a gentle smile on her face, Anasteria stretched out her scepter and nodded to the sofa.
"Don't be so formal. Don't treat me like a king. This is just a private chat. Let's sit down first."
Sarlayan did not think that the Sun King, who was busy with everything, would summon him for the purpose of "chatting", but since Anasteria said so, he could only obey the other party's wishes and sat down on the sofa again.
"No needless pleasantries, I know you don't like those troublesome etiquette."
The Sun King smiled kindly and said: "Salayan, you should have received Julian's letter and know the truth about your life experience, right?"
Sarlayan's eyes suddenly opened wide, and he looked at the old king with deep meaning in his eyes in astonishment.
Villes was not surprised by this and seemed to have known the inside story beforehand.
"Yes."
With the help of the barrage, Sarlayan weighed in and answered Anasteria's question head-on.
"I am a half-elf and half-dragon hybrid. Did your Majesty hear about it from your old...father?"
Anasteria shook her head: "I have known about your parents' deeds since you were born... no, even earlier."
"Perhaps you have no memory. I was there the day you were born."
