Before leaving Yongsong Forest, Sharlayan forcibly captured Inas from the underground research room of Deep Shadow Manor.
Although Inas held Sarlayan's face and rubbed it for a long time unhappily, she still agreed to help her son take care of the territory for the time being.
As a member of the Dragon Legion, Inas is well aware of the capabilities of the Titan Guardians.
In terms of force alone, Loken is not ranked among the Guardians, and he and Mimiron compete for the bottom one or two all year round.
But as the King of Wisdom, Loken's strength is not in combat.
Just like Mimiron was able to develop various novel inventions, Loken also used his ingenuity to help his fellow guardians win the difficult battle against the Dark Empire.
However, Loken's combat effectiveness is not strong according to the standards of the Titan Guardian. After all, he has the strength of a demigod, much stronger than a parallel import like Varimathras.
Not to mention Loken's personal strength, the steel army in his hands is not even willing to provoke the powerful Dragon Clan.
Before sending Sarlayan away, Inas asked worriedly: "Are you really sure you can force Loken back? It will be troublesome if you completely piss off that petty guy."
"Ha~"
Sarlayan sneered: "As long as I can return smoothly from this trip, the era of Loken covering the sky with only one hand in Ulduar will be completely over."
"At that time, I don't think he can spare the energy to pay attention to us 'frail' mortals. The angry Azadas and Thorim alone are enough for him to drink a pot."
The reason why Tyr was hunted down by Loken at all costs was because he and Azadas took away the Norgannon disc that recorded Loken's criminal evidence.
The main body of the Norgannon Disk is located in Ulduar. It is a high-tech recording device left by the Dreamweaver Norgannon. It can record all the changes in Azeroth at all times.
This of course also includes Loken's betrayal.
After learning that the evidence of the crime was exposed, Loken hysterically asked Yogg-Saron to take action, and barely killed the powerful guardian of justice Tyr at a huge cost.
But the stolen Norgannon Disc did not return to Loken's hands, but was taken to the southern Uldaman underground palace by Azadas.
Uldaman was an earthen factory built by the Titans in the early days. There was no communication equipment inside to directly communicate with the Pantheon.
The Disc of Norgannon was available, but Azadas was troubled that he could not present the evidence of his crime to the Pantheon.
As the years passed, the earth spirits and mechanical gnomes in Uldaman gradually began to be affected by the curse of flesh.
In order to prevent the further spread of the curse of flesh and blood, Azadas and the giantess Elonaya sealed most of the Titan creations, including themselves, hoping to avoid the erosion of the curse of flesh and blood through self-sleep.
The loyal mechanical gnomes took the initiative to stand up. They volunteered to stay awake and protect other sleeping companions.
Unsurprisingly, these mechanical gnomes were eroded by the curse of flesh and blood in the years to come, and gradually evolved into flesh and blood gnomes.
The flesh-and-blood dwarfs reproduced from generation to generation, gradually forgetting their original mission, and finally left Uldaman for the surface, traveling all the way to settle in the Snowy Mountains of Dun Morogh.
After these flesh and blood dwarfs left, some of the earth spirits who had been contaminated by the flesh and blood curse in their slumber woke up.
With the same loss of memory, they wandered away from Uldaman, followed the footsteps of the dwarves like instinct, and also came to Dun Morogh.
These flesh-and-blood earth spirits are the ancestors of today's dwarves.
In the following thousands of years, due to the same origin, gnomes and dwarves instinctively had a good impression of each other and formed a strong alliance to jointly support their lives in the cold snowy mountains of Dun Morogh.
For countless years, generations of dwarves have tried to figure out their origins.
They are keen on excavating ruins around the world, hoping to find out the origin of the dwarf race through historical research.
Brian Bronzebeard is the president of the Explorers Association of this generation, and he is also one of the monster-opening monsters mentioned in the barrage.
After bidding farewell to their families who stayed behind in Eversong Forest, the three of Sarlayan were directly transported to the secret area of Ironforge by the wizards of the Royal Arcane Society.
It's cold in the Snowy Mountains of Dun Morogh, but inside Ironforge it's very warm, even hot.
This is because the great forge in the center of Ironforge continues to emit huge amounts of heat.
Ironforge is a majestic city built in the mountains.
Dwarves have inherited part of the earth spirit's shaping ability and are naturally fond of blacksmithing.
The Great Forge is a large forge built by the dwarves in the center of the city using geothermal heat. Standing in the center of the bridge, you can see the magma surging under the bridges on both sides.
According to the map, Ironforge is a city with a ring structure. The four outer circles are the arcane area, the military area, the explorer hall and the civilian area. The four large areas are arranged in a ring around the large forge in the center.
The throne room of the Kingdom of Khaz Modan is located on the side of the Great Forge, facing away from the civilian area and the gates of Ironforge.
As soon as they walked out of the teleportation hall in the secret area, the three of Sarlayan immediately saw the people who came to greet them.
"Haha! Long time no see, Sarlayan!"
Muradin Bronzebeard hugged Thalayan enthusiastically. Due to the height difference, Thalayan had to bow down to respond to Muradin's enthusiasm.
Sarlayan remembered that the last time he met Muradin was during the Battle of Quicksand. At that time, he was still standing like a minion and could hardly speak in front of many big bosses.
Muradin had a bold nature and was willing to make friends. He could chat with anyone regardless of their status. From then on, Sarlayan began to have some superficial friendship with Muradin.
When they met again, Muradin felt a little emotional about Sarlayan's rapid rise in status.
At that time, he just thought that what this little brother said was interesting, and he had a lot of unique understanding of the ecology and social structure of the worms.
After the Battle of Quicksand, Muradin, who had lived a fulfilling life, gradually forgot about his little brother named Sarlayan Deep Shadow.
It wasn't until the latest information came from Quel'Thalas that he saw that familiar yet unfamiliar name again.
At that time, Sarlayan had been promoted to count and commanded an army of paladin independently established by the high elves.
Regarding the establishment of the Morning Frontier Legion, many insiders, including Alonsos Faol, were confused.
The arrogance of the high elves has long been known to the world. Along with the arrogance, there is also the high elves' fanatical worship of the Sunwell, which can even be called a belief.
Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for the high elves to believe in the Church of Holy Light, which is widely spread in the human kingdom.
Before the emergence of High Priest Vondelor, Quel'Thalas couldn't even find a known user of the Light.
Facts have proved that Vondelor is unique. Apart from him, Quel'Thalas has never produced a powerful priest who can make a name for himself.
Even Liadrin, who was extremely talented, hesitated to become a priest for a long time, and it was not until she became a paladin that she really took off.
Are the high elves not talented enough?
Muradin didn't think so.
Many priests of the Holy Light Church privately discussed that the reason why the high elves cannot control the powerful power of the Holy Light is because they are not religious enough in the omnipotent Holy Light.
Then...the sudden establishment of the Morning Frontier Legion slapped and swollen the faces of these priests who were gossiping in private.
Some priests who could not accept the reality angrily accused the high elves of stealing the Holy Light. Most of these remarks came from the Diocese of Lordaeron.
Archbishop Alonsos Faol strictly prohibited priests from making offensive and rhythmic remarks, but with the encouragement of some well-intentioned people, similar remarks were always banned.
The arrogant high elves don't bother to explain to the "rude" humans. Anyway, we only handle the Holy Light. What can you do to me?
The Paladin is the signature profession of the Alliance...or the human kingdom. At this stage, only priests or warriors who have been baptized by a bishop can successfully change professions. Archbishop Alonsos Fao is working hard to research a more popular way to cultivate Paladins.
This public-minded archbishop was interested in communicating with Quel'Thalas, and last time he took the opportunity of Kael'thas's accession to the throne to go to Quel'Thalas in person.
However, due to various objective reasons, Archbishop Fao failed to do so in the end, and returned home depressed with Prince Alsace.
It is said that the elderly Archbishop Fao's recent physical condition is not very optimistic, and no one can tell when he will be "called by the Holy Light."
The comprehensiveness of the Paladins has already been verified in the Second Orc War, and many countries want to cultivate their own Paladin legions.
Of course, this also includes the Bronzebeard dwarves of Khaz Modan Kingdom.
It just so happened that Sarlayan was the biggest contributor to the establishment of the Morning Frontier Legion, and Muradin didn't believe that he didn't know the key.
On the way to the throne room, Muradin kept whispering and wanted to know how the high elves controlled the holy light.
Sarlayan is not stupid. Of course, this kind of secret cannot be leaked casually. It must always be used in exchange for some benefits.
"Prince Muradin."
Sarlayan looked at Muradin, who was very good at chatting, with a half-smile: "As for the issue of the Paladin, let's talk about it later when we have time."
"When I come to Ironforge this time, I have more important things to discuss with Prince Brian."
"This matter... is related to the origin of the race that the dwarves have been pursuing for a long time."
Muradin: "..."
"!!!"
