Since the end of the War of the Ancients, Maiev has been sitting in Ashenvale, personally watching over the sinner Illidan Stormrage.
Illidan's prison is not far from the big shade tree, in the southeastern area of Ashenvale.
According to the information provided by the barrage, in the original history, this place would be occupied by the orcs of the new tribe in the future and built into a lumberyard.
During the flight, Sharlayan took the time to sort out the soul fragments given to him by Ursoc's descendants before they disappeared.
According to the few memories left in the fragments, it can be seen that the demigod descendant named Sosali was filled with unwillingness in the last moments of his life.
This reluctance is not filled with resentment towards anyone, but more out of regret. I regret that I fell into the devil's trap by mistake and was unable to fight uprightly until the last moment.
Thousands of years passed slowly, and with the passage of time, Sausali forgot many things, leaving only the obsession engraved in the deepest part of his soul.
It wants to make up for the regrets of its lifetime, try its best to exert its due strength on the battlefield, until the last moment.
Sosali did it, and thanks to its efforts, Sharlayan found Anubisas's weakness, laying the groundwork for Malygos and other blue dragons to reverse the situation in one fell swoop.
With his long-cherished wish fulfilled, Sosali's soul dissipated contentedly, leaving only the last fragment to express gratitude to Sarlayan.
This part of the fragment contains no detailed memories of Sausali, but more of the inheritance of knowledge.
Since Sarlayan himself is a warrior, in order to avoid overlapping positions, he has never studied the druid's guardianship before... which is the transformation of the giant bear.
Among the knowledge left by Sausali, the main records are the various skills and experiences related to the transformation of giant bears.
To be precise, this unconventional transformation should be called Ursoc Avatar.
Although the brothers Ursoc and Ursol are both giant bear demigods, their fighting styles are completely different.
Ursok follows a purely physical style. With his tough fur, fangs and claws, he can stay at the forefront of the battlefield for a long time and fight until he dies of exhaustion.
Ursol chose the faction of spellcasters. The furbolg's shaman heritage originally came from Ursol. He can make full use of the four elements of earth, water, fire and wind to assist in combat.
Sosali is a direct descendant of Ursok, and of course he has inherited Ursok's fighting style.
After a rough study, Sarlayan found that this set of Ursoc's incarnations was all-inclusive, and the techniques included were both offensive and defensive.
However, Sarlayan has already determined his fighting style. Before reaching the peak of his warrior level, he does not plan to spend too much energy on the overlapping incarnation of Ursoc, but only has a preliminary grasp of this transformation.
Originally, Sarlayan wanted to take some extra time to carefully check the information left by Inas.
Unfortunately, time did not allow, he had already flown to the prison where Illidan was being held.
Illidan's prison is located deep underground, and only two armed guards are left guarding the entrance above the ground.
"Boom~"
After Sarlayan in the form of a young dragon landed on the ground, one of the watchers came forward to ask cautiously.
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
Since Sharlayan has not yet returned to human form, the Watcher's inquiry target is directly directed at Valeera on the dragon's back.
Valeela jumped out quickly and landed firmly on the ground.
"We are the green dragon's envoys, and we are here to ask for the help of Maiev Shadowsong, the leader of the Watch."
The watchman wearing a metal helmet sounded a little confused: "We...we?"
At this time, Sarlayan finally changed back to his human form. The unprecedented transformation of the young dragon made the two watchers widen their eyes at the same time.
"This...please wait a moment, I'll go and report it right away."
"No."
Before the confused watcher could turn around, a slightly hoarse female voice came from the prison passage leading to the underground.
From the appearance point of view, all the Watchers are very similar. After all, they all wear the same style of full-cover armor, and even their faces cannot be seen.
However, each watcher has their own weapons that they are good at, and their identities can be roughly determined by the difference in weapons.
For example, the two watchmen guarding the door used scimitars and straight swords respectively.
The later watchman held a strange wheel-shaped weapon in his hand, with many sharp barbed blades on the outside of the wheel.
This strange-shaped weapon is extremely recognizable, and most people really can't use it well.
Without the barrage introduction, Sarlayan guessed the identity of this watcher.
Maiev Shadowsong.
The two watchmen guarding the door immediately saluted the person respectfully: "Mistress."
Maiev nodded to the two of them: "Don't worry about me, continue to perform your mission, I will personally receive these two people."
"yes!"
…
Under the leadership of the silent Maiev, Sharlayan and Valeela entered the underground prison where Illidan was imprisoned.
It is completely invisible from the ground. In fact, the underground area of this prison is very vast. It is not just used as a prison, but more like a military fortress built underground.
After passing a temporarily idle training ground, the three came to Maiev's office.
Out of courtesy, Maiev took off the Warden's standard helmet before the formal conversation.
...To be honest, Sarlayan always thought the style of this helmet was stupid.
Thanks to the blessing of the world tree Nordrassil, the night elves have immortal lifespan.
Like Tyrande, there is no trace of aging on Maiev's face, but their mature temperament that has been accumulated over time is quite similar.
Sarlayan had preconceived the idea that as the leader of the Watcher organization, which specializes in hunting and imprisoning demons, Maiev would have a more resolute appearance, but this was not the case.
Tyrande looks young and beautiful, but her slightly "rough" voice tells you that she is old. Sharlayan will naturally regard the Moon God High Priest as an elder.
Maiev's voice is husky and sexy, and her appearance is not inferior to Tyrande, and is even more feminine than the high priest.
But the strange thing is that Maiev's temperament is just as resolute as Sarlayan imagined. This strong contrast made Sarlayan and Valeela feel uncomfortable for a while.
"Hey~"
Noticing the change in the eyes of the two, Maiev, who had long been used to it, sighed helplessly: "Sure enough, it's better to wear a helmet?"
"no no."
Valeera, who was in charge of the negotiations, quickly adjusted her attitude and complimented with a smile: "We just didn't expect that Ms. Shadowsong's appearance under the helmet would be so soft and refined, and we were a little stunned for a while."
Maiev didn't take it seriously: "Forget about the compliments, let's just get down to business."
"You said you are the messenger of the green dragon. Which green dragon is it specifically? Why do you want to seek my help?"
Valeera, who is very eloquent, explained the situation to Maiev in simple words.
Maiev did not express her position immediately, but her originally calm eyes were slightly disturbed.
"Xavius, the King of Satyrs, I thought he had died in the War of the Ancients, but I didn't expect that he was still lingering on."
After closing her eyes and thinking for a moment, Maiev stood up resolutely and said: "Xavius is a piece of dust that should have disappeared from history long ago. Since his old enemy Malfurion can't spare time for the time being, I will send him off." Let’s take the last trip.”
"You go back to the dreamland entrance of Big Tree Shade and wait. After handing over the relevant matters, I will rush over to meet you as soon as possible."
…
Xavius' body has long since died, leaving only his soul hiding in the dream world to cause trouble.
This hunting battle was destined to take place in the Emerald Dream. After meeting Maiev who had arranged the work, the three of them returned to the dream forest of Val'sharah through the dream passage of the big tree shade.
As expected, Tyrande left and never came back, obviously not wanting to meet Maiev.
Maiev was also happy to see this happen. She didn't waste any time after arriving at the Dream Grove and immediately started asking Isarios for more details.
"Saradrashir..."
Maiev raised her head and looked at the dense branches and leaves of the world above the dream forest, frowning slightly.
"Hurry up and start taking action. Once Xavius corrupts the World Tree, the entire population of Val'sharah will be in danger."
Maiev's words are not alarmist.
The night elves have long been accustomed to living in symbiosis with the forest, and their connection with the World Tree is extremely close.
Once the World Tree is corrupted, the night elves and natural allies living under the tree will inevitably be affected, and may even fall into a nightmare and cannot wake up.
Isarios also knew this. After confirming that everyone was ready, he cast a spell on the spot to send everyone involved in the plan into a dream.
Due to Isarios' precise delivery, Sarlayan and others woke up directly in the Dream Woodland in the Emerald Dream.
Maiev entered the stealth state without saying a word: "I will go first and leave marks for you along the way. After setting up the encirclement net, I will chase you as soon as possible."
"Ah this..."
Sarlayan and Valeela looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
"This eldest sister is really resolute... Let's start taking action."
