"Haha~"
The mysterious man whose whole body was covered by smoke laughed contemptuously: "Do you think I will tell you honestly?"
"Forget it, now that the nightmare gap here has been exposed, I don't bother to spend any more effort. Anyway, it's just a free move left by Xavius."
"Thalayan Lord Shadow."
The mysterious man let out an unpleasant chuckle as he turned and left: "I believe we will have the opportunity to meet again in the future. Until then, let's continue to struggle hard."
As the mysterious man left, the gray fog covering the entire space also dissipated.
Standing on the water surface of space that became clear and clear, Sarlayan's brows never relaxed.
"The successor of Nightmare King Xavius? Tsk! Those crows' mouths really got it right."
When Sarlayan planned to kill Xavius, some of the barrages persuaded him to hold back.
The Nightmare King is just a puppet, and Xavius is just the most useful of N'Zoth's many puppets.
Even if there is no Xavius, the Demon of Thousand Beards can still raise another one.
Even if he is not as handy as Xavius, he can still cause a lot of trouble to the defenders of Azeroth who don't know the origin of the new king.
Some commentators believed that instead of letting N'zoth be replaced by a stranger he didn't know, it would be better to leave Xavius behind so that he could continue to control the Nightmare King whose most information has been exposed in the future.
However, the young and energetic Sarlayan ignored the barrage's advice and joined forces with Maiev to eliminate Xavius without hesitation.
As expected, that guy N'Zoth would not give up so easily, the Nightmare King, an excellent tool that could threaten the Emerald Dream.
Xavius has indeed fallen and is unlikely to reappear, but N'Zoth raised a new Nightmare King as expected.
The worst part is that Sarlayan is completely unable to guess the opponent's identity, and naturally has no way to prepare a response.
"Forget it...let's put this aside for now."
Turning to look at Shenzhenzi who was still asleep, Sarlayan put his chin in his hand and talked to himself thoughtfully.
"I originally thought that Shenzhenzi's sleep was just a simple self-sealing, but now it seems that things are not that simple."
"Anyway, let's get rid of the nightmare power that has plagued it for many years."
…
Sarlayan's subjective consciousness stayed in the nightmare for several hours, but from the perspective of Valeera and Stellagosa, who had been looking after his body, Sarlayan's time to settle down was only a short ten minutes.
"Huh~"
When Sarlayan got rid of the nightmare curse on Shenzhenzi, he didn't need to make much preparation. Without the support of the power of nightmare, the gap space that trapped Sarlayan's consciousness automatically dissipated.
Sarlayan's expression was a little heavy when he regained consciousness. Valeela and Stellagosa immediately noticed the abnormality in the atmosphere, and stopped their continued harassing actions to surround him.
Valeela asked in confusion: "What's wrong? You're not really angry, are you?"
Sarlayan shook his head solemnly: "It has nothing to do with your actions. This matter is a long story."
…
"nightmare?"
After learning part of the real reason for Shenzhenzi's sleep from Sarlayan, Shang Xi, who had always been kind and kind-hearted, showed a rare serious expression.
"It sounds unsettling... Can you please tell me in detail, what is this nightmare?"
At Sarlayan's signal, the eloquent Valeera told Shang Xi and other Wuchen Temple elders about the origin of the nightmare in a simple and easy-to-understand manner, which as expected made the elders frown.
"It turns out that there are such evil creatures in the dream world."
Shang Xi asked doubtfully: "I have a question. Shenzhenzi is not a demigod of the wilderness, nor is he the Loa god mentioned by the trolls. Logically speaking, he cannot enter the Emerald Dream. Why is it affected by the nightmare?"
Sarlayan was not sure why.
"I'm afraid I can only wait until Shenzhenzi wakes up to ask this question himself."
"However, according to my understanding, not only demigods and Loa can freely enter and leave the Emerald Dream."
"Any life that has a connection with the wilderness and nature is likely to receive an invitation from the Emerald Dream. Perhaps Shenzhenzi accidentally entered it by chance and was contaminated by the Nightmare King after entering a deep sleep."
The former Nightmare King Xavius was killed by Sarlayan himself. Perhaps his body was contaminated with some of the pheromones or soul breath left by Xavius, which caused him to accidentally break into the timing. Falling into the nightmare left by Xavius.
Although the power of nightmare that has haunted Shenzhenzi for many years has been eliminated, it still has not awakened from its slumber due to Shenzhenzi's self-sealing.
Thanks to Shenzhenzi's sealing of his consciousness, Xavius's backhand failed to play any role, and the nightmare curse never eroded its will.
This should be the reason why the new Nightmare King left happily. There was no need for him to fight with Sarlayan here.
Whether he can win or not is still a matter of debate. Even if he wins by chance, he won't be able to kill Sarlayan's consciousness and won't get any benefits, so why bother.
Although Sarlayan repeatedly assured that there would be no problem with Shenzhenzi's consciousness, the elders of Wuchen Temple were still a little worried, and they took turns checking Shenzhenzi's condition in the next few days.
After passing the third stage of the mind training trial, Shang Xi announced that Sarlayan no longer needed to accept his teachings in this regard.
The master leads him in. Cultivation depends on the individual. How far Sarlayan can use the knowledge he has learned depends entirely on his own efforts in the future.
At first glance, Sarlayan had no immediate gains, but only he knew how important this trial was.
The impetuous temperament that had accompanied Sarlayan since his birth had been completely reversed. According to Shang Xi, his current state of mind could be described by an ancient Pandaren saying.
The best is like water.
In the next two days, Sarlayan did not spend any more energy on training, but actually spent two days on the Wandering Island with Valeera and Stellagosa.
The Wandering Island has a small population, and they have traveled to various villages many times. The local people are familiar with the three of Sarlayan, and some brave Pandaren children even dare to climb on Sarlayan and ask to be lifted up.
Shenzhenzi's body was not affected by what happened on Wizong Island, and he was still heading towards the North Sea step by step.
After arriving at the predetermined time and place, Stellagosa established contact with the Sapphire Dragon Shrine in Dragonblight.
Before entering the portal, Sharlayan patted Stellagosa and Valeela on the shoulders.
"As long as the situation in Crystalsong Forest does not change fundamentally, I will not stay in Northrend for too long. You can just wait here for my return."
Valeera curled her lips and said, "Okay, don't let the beautiful female dragon in Dragon Sleep Temple lead you away."
Sarlayan rolled his eyes angrily: "You jealous little boy is here again... Don't you still know what kind of person I am?"
Stellagosa couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle: "Don't be poor, let's go quickly. The distance is too far. I can't maintain the portal for a long time. Go back quickly."
Sarlayan nodded to Shang Xi, Cheng Bo and others who were watching, and then stepped into the portal without hesitation.
The extremely cold wind of Northrend replaced the breeze of the Wandering Island and blew on Sarlayan's face. When Sarlayan came to the Sapphire Dragon Holy Land, he spread his dragon wings and hovered in the air. Soon, he caused a stir and stayed here. Attention blue dragons.
"Who are you……"
A female blue dragon with a softer outline came closer and looked at Sarlayan's appearance curiously.
"Ah~ I remembered."
The female blue dragon transformed into a blue-haired high elf with dragon horns, and bowed politely to Sharlayan.
"Hello, son of Elainastrasza, I am the daughter of Spellweaver Malygos and Dragon Queen Sindragosa, the blue dragon princess Talygosa."
'Princess Blue Dragon...'
Sharlayan had heard about Talygosa's name and her related deeds from the barrage.
It is said that this blue dragon princess inherited the strange xp of the blue dragon clan and has no interest in the male blue dragons in the clan. In the future, she chose Jorad, a human paladin, as her partner.
Oh, by the way, Talygosa is still nominally the fiancée of Kalecgos.
...Although neither of them has the slightest interest in each other.
"Hiss~"
Sarlayan always felt that the blue dragon princess looked at him a little strangely, like a hunter who had discovered his prey.
[Fuck, could it be that Sharlayan is being targeted by Talygosa? Jollard collapsed in the bathroom crying. 】
【If you want to live a decent life, you must always have some green on your head and be calm. 】
"Uh~"
Faced with Talygosa's strange eyes, Sharlayan asked bravely: "I have something important to ask of Her Majesty the Red Dragon Queen Alexstrasza. Your Royal Highness, please let me know. Is Her Majesty still in Wyrmrest Temple?" ?”
