Although the people attending this meeting were all big-name figures, Sarlayan, who has always been stubborn, never knew what stage fright was.
Under Valeela's slightly worried gaze, he spoke clearly in a loud voice: "Everyone, I am Sharlayan Deep Shadow."
"Perhaps you will doubt the source of my intelligence and question its authenticity."
"But I dare to guarantee with my inherited bloodline that every word I say next is true."
Ignoring the many scrutiny and doubtful glances around him, Sarlayan said without hesitation: "The first is the origin of the nightmare."
"I wonder if you all still remember the crown of the snowfield, the world tree Andrassil, which was corroded by the ancient gods many years ago?"
Malfurion's expression changed slightly, and his originally somewhat casual attitude became serious.
"Young high elf, at your age you should not know about Andrassil, and it is unlikely that the entire high elf community has heard of this matter. Who are you..."
Sharlayan shook his head: "Master Stormrage, please listen to me first."
"The roots of Andrassil went too deep into the underground of Northrend and touched the prison of the ancient god Yogg-Saron."
"Yog-Saron took the opportunity to corrupt the world tree. As a last resort, Master Stormrage had no choice but to order it to be chopped down... Am I right?"
Malfurion nodded solemnly: "I personally gave the order. Andrassil no longer exists. Only the partial remains of the Broken Crown Vordrassil are left in Northrend."
Sarlayan looked at Malfurion with a deep look and asked, "Is it really enough to cut him down in time?"
"As a large clan that has existed for more than ten thousand years, the night elves should understand the difficulty of the ancient gods better than anyone else."
"All World Trees are directly connected to the Emerald Dream, and Andrassil is no exception."
"The ancient gods headed by Yogg-Saron used Andrassil as a springboard to invade the Emerald Dream long before the tree was cut down, and left behind seeds that could subvert the entire dream."
Having said this, the people present finally realized what Sarlayan wanted to express, and the faces of Ysera and Malfurion also became ugly.
"Could it be..."
Sharlayan destroyed the last bit of luck in Malfurion's heart: "Yes, the so-called nightmare is the handiwork of the ancient gods. They had already completed the layout before Andrassil fell."
"That seed is Xavius, the Nightmare King."
"Savis?!"
Malfurion's eyes widened and he stood up, "Impossible! Xavius had already..."
"Were you personally killed in the ancient war?"
Sarlayan answered first and then shook his head: "It is true that Xavius's body died in the ancient war, but his soul full of resentment was captured by the ancient gods. The subsequent development... I don't need to say more. ?”
Malfurion was a little distracted. He didn't expect that the source of the nightmare that the green dragon and the druid had been looking for actually came from his old enemy.
Ysera looked at Sarlayan with a deep look: "My child, did your mother Inas tell you this information?"
"Inas's child?!"
The humanoid green dragons present all had expressions of astonishment on their faces, looking back and forth at Sarlayan with a scrutinizing gaze, a bit more recognition in their eyes.
Sarlayan shook his head: "My mother encountered N'Zoth's plot not long after I was born, and she is still in a comatose state."
Ysera: 'So...it was the information Julian found? '
"So be it."
Sarlayan did not answer directly, and gave Ysera the opportunity to continue asking questions, and spoke loudly of his request: "I have two goals in following Shandris into the Emerald Dream this time."
"The first is to ask Mr. Eranikus for the fragments of the Quicksand Scepter and rescue his father who accidentally got trapped in Ahn'Qiraj while investigating the ancient gods."
"Two, I would like to ask His Majesty Ysera to give you an artifact rich in powerful vitality to awaken the mother whose soul has been damaged from her slumber."
Ysera's vertical pupils shrank slightly: "Being plotted by N'Zos? His soul was damaged? No wonder I haven't seen that naughty girl Inas for many years."
After calming down, Ysera turned her attention to the first humanoid green dragon on the left.
"My love, what do you think?"
Eranikus, who was in the form of a night elf and had a green beard, observed Sarlayan with interest and nodded in agreement readily.
"No problem, I've kept this thing here long enough."
"Then I will go back to the material world first and give the fragments to Remulos for safekeeping. Remember to ask him for them when you go back."
Ysera smiled and nodded to Eranikus, then turned her gaze to Malfurion.
"As for the artifact that is rich in powerful vitality... Malfurion, how about giving him that thing?"
Malfurion was stunned for a moment, and said with a somewhat tangled expression: "Garnier branch? But it can be done, but Avina has not recovered yet, and the power of the branch has not been fully restored. I don't know whether the power of life contained in it can reach expected."
"don’t worry."
Ysera said confidently: "As long as I finish solving the chores in the dream, I will follow Sarlayan on a personal trip to awaken Inas with the power of the catalytic artifact."
"But before that..."
A cold light flashed in Ysera's eyes, which had always been mild-tempered.
"Malfurion, it's time to make a clean break with Xavius."
Malfurion's expression also became serious, and he paused heavily on the ground with the tail of his oak staff.
"Boom!"
"Please leave it to me. I will personally deal with the lingering guy. This time, he will never escape again!"
…
Xavius once captured Tyrande during the War of the Ancients, and thus developed an incomprehensible hatred with Malfurion.

[Brother, borrow one to speak. 】
According to barrage reviews, Malfurion has a relatively gentle personality and always looks like a good old man who is good to others.
But when encountering enemies, the good-tempered Malfurion will also show his violent side.
If Malfurion ranked his enemies in his heart, Xavius would definitely be among the top three.
Before receiving the information provided by Sharlayan, the green dragon and the druid had a somewhat casual attitude towards nightmares, and did not think that these scabies in the Emerald Dream could become something.
However, if the ancient gods are behind the nightmare, the nature is completely different.
Ysera and Malfurion began to summon all the forces in the dream world, including some demigods who had begun to revive.
The assembled coalition forces quickly pushed back the nightmare attack, and planned to follow the clues to find the lair of these nightmare monsters.
On the other hand, Ysera personally presided over Lora Hill and performed a large-scale purification ceremony on the four green dragons corrupted by the nightmare.
The process of purifying the nightmare was very painful, and the power of the ancient gods that penetrated into the soul had a very serious impact on the four green dragons.
Fortunately, it was discovered in time and the situation has not developed to an irreversible point.
Amidst the screams of the four green dragons, the purification ceremony was successfully completed.
The almost hollowed-out Four Green Dragons needed at least several decades of cultivation to recover as before, but at least their lives were saved, which was many times better than the tragic ending they would have faced.
Before Malfurion went into battle, he handed over the precious artifact of life that he had kept for countless years to Sharlayan's hands.
"This is the last branch of the Mother Tree Garnier. The seeds of the world tree Nordrassil were plucked from this branch. It has extraordinary significance to the night elves."
"Promise me to keep it."
"Garniel is symbiotic with Aviana, the mother of all birds. Before Avina is reborn, Garniel's branches cannot yet exert their full capabilities, so try to avoid overuse of it."
After taking the Garnier branch, Sarlayan solemnly nodded and promised: "I will not abuse the artifact at will. Thank you for your help, Master Stormrage."
Malfurion smiled and patted Sarlayan twice on the shoulder: "We should thank you for the important information you provided. If the insidious guy Xavius is allowed to continue to lurk and develop, the Emerald Dream is likely to be destroyed in the future. Encountering an unprecedented crisis.”
After saying goodbye to the energetic Malfurion, Sarlayan, who had completed his goal, immediately planned to leave the dream world and seize the time to go to the next location.
When he was about to leave the dreamland, Sarlayan heard an inexplicable call again.
"You will be my dependents, bear my power, and spread my great name."
"My name is... Wolf God Goldrinn!" (To be continued)
