Although it was unclear what the use of the soul-guiding lamp handed to him was for the time being, Sarlayan finally came to his senses.
Orfa left the Thornspeaker's den and went to Boralus, reporting to Daelin that the voodoo enchantment was only one of the purposes, and more importantly, to get back the important props left by Inas.
Through conversations with little Jaina, Sharlayan learned more about the current situation in Kul Tiras.
As expected, Daelin led the fleet out again, but his goal was not Zandalar, but to block the tribe's retreat.
The main forces of the Alliance and the Horde are facing off in the Searing Gorge and Burning Plains, and Blackrock Tower has become the center of the tug of war between the two sides.
The once arrogant orc tribe is now showing signs of exhaustion.
At their peak, the orc soldiers could easily fight one against three, but now they were not even guaranteed to win one against one.
Under the orders of Alliance Grand Marshal Lothar, Kul Tiras' fleet rushed to the western wilderness of the former Kingdom of Stormwind to land in advance, blocking the tribe's retreat from the rear.
The threat of Zandalari was handed over by Daelin to the three major families who stayed in Kul Tiras.
Sarlayan had not carefully understood the composition of the four major families of Kul Tiras before, so Jaina introduced to him the characteristics of each major family in detail.
The first is the Proudmoore family, the royal family of Kul Tiras. They are mainly responsible for overseeing the overall situation and hold the powerful Kul Tiran navy. They have the highest status among the four major families.
The other three major families are Waycrest, who leads the army to guard Drustvar, Stormsong, who is in charge of the Tide Sage, and Ashvane, who is in charge of trade.
Regarding the Waycrest family, Sarlayan has obtained a lot of information from Olfa.
In the original war between Kul Tiras and Drust, the Ash Knights led by the Arom Waycrest family played an important role.
In recognition of Arom's contribution, after the war, the first king of Kul Tiras established Drustvar as a fiefdom and handed it over to the Waycrest family to look after it for generations.
If the naval soul of Kul Tiras is controlled by House Proudmoore, then House Waycrest commands the elite army of Kul Tiras.
The tidesage is a profession unique to Kul Tiras, and combines the duties of both a scholar and a priest.
In addition to unifying the knowledge and books of Kul Tiras, the Tidesage also serve as navigators when fleets set sail.
Every time the Kul Tiran navy leaves port, there will always be a tidesage manning the flagship.
In Sharlayan's view, the tidesage is somewhat similar to the orc shaman.
They have a strong affinity for the water element and can easily manipulate ocean currents, allowing the Kul Tiran Navy to quickly seize an advantageous position in battle.
The last Ashvane family is known as the money bag of Kul Tiras. It is solely responsible for foreign trade and creates a lot of wealth for Kul Tiras every year. It has always been on good terms with the Puldmore family.
This time, Debt Ashvan, the head of the Ashvan family, took the initiative to come forward and invited the contemporary Lord Stormsong to visit him, promising to guard Kul Tiras when Daelin went on an expedition.
Delin and Debit are good friends who grew up wearing crotchless pants together. Debit's wife Priscilla and Queen Catherine have also been close friends for many years. The relationship between the two families is very close.
With Debit's guarantee, Dailin could finally go on the expedition with peace of mind. He believed that the three major families united as one could work together to thwart Zandalari's plot.
Before leaving, Dailin handed the token that Inas left to Jaina, entrusted Olfa to escort his precious daughter, and personally handed the soul-inducing lamp to Inas's son.
Sharlayan: 'Why do we need Jaina to make a special trip...'
[Probably to show sincerity, Delin's only adult child Derek died in the battle, and Queen Catherine, who was overseeing the country, could not leave Boralus lightly, so she could only let Jaina temporarily take over the responsibilities that should have been borne by the crown prince. 】
[By the way, doesn’t Jaina have a second brother, Tandre? 】
[How old are you from that era? Glass shards are eating books again. 】
[Tandre is not Jaina’s elder brother, but her younger brother. He is the youngest child of the Proudmoore family, and he is still wearing crotchless pants 80% of the time. 】
[I have never understood why Dailin sent his daughter, who was already showing her talents, to Dalaran for further study when her eldest son died in battle and his second son was still young. 】
[There should be no rule in Azeroth that says women cannot be kings. 】
[Who knows, maybe it’s to expand Jaina’s network, or maybe it’s to respect her personal wishes and not want to waste her amazing mage talent. 】
[Judging from the result, Dai Lin, who has always been wise, made a wrong move. He lost both his wife and his troops. 】
'Wrong step...? '
Sarlayan looked at Jaina as if he had some understanding.
Noticing Sarlayan's strange gaze, Jaina tilted her head curiously.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with me?"
Sarlayan smiled calmly: "No, I just didn't expect that His Majesty Daelin would let the underage Princess Jaina go out alone with confidence."
"Ah~ you said this."
Jaina smiled and stretched out her right hand, and a flowing light blue water mass appeared above her white little hand, changing into various forms under Jaina's control.
"I have been learning spells from the Tide Sage since I was a child, so I have some ability to protect myself."
"Okay, enough of the gossip."
Olfa interrupted the conversation between the two and patted Sarlayan on the back with his bear claw.
"Your time is very tight. You have to race against time to learn new knowledge in this month. Come with me."
"Jaina, please help yourself. I don't have as many stinky rules here as in the palace."
"When you want to go back, go find Chloe, and she will personally send you back to Boralus."
Jaina nodded with a smile: "Okay, Master Orfa, please don't worry about me."
Judging from Jaina's sparkling eyes, the little princess, who rarely went out once, was full of curiosity about the outside world and did not want to return to the cage called the palace so soon.
Orfa didn't say much to this, and just wriggled his butt to lead the way.
Sharlayan nodded politely to Jaina and followed the Great Thornspeaker into the den, leaving only Chloe to guard Jaina.
"Sister Chloe, can you please introduce me to the current situation of Drustvar? Also, does the Zandalar troll that invaded Falcon Grove really have green-faced fangs?"
Chloe: "Ah..."
'I'm not good at raising children...'
…
Olfa has already taught Sarlayan all the druid's restoration spells.
The master leads you in. Cultivation is personal.
To what extent he can comprehend the healing spells will depend on Sarlayan's own efforts.
Among the three types of druid spells, the restoration type is the easiest for Sarlayan, who has strong vitality, to learn.
After completing the first test, Olfa began to teach Sarlayan the second system - wild transformation.
According to the schedule set by Orfa, within the next month, Sarlayan must master the basic transformation technique and specialize in one of the form changes.
Claw form. (To be continued)
