After returning from Uldum, Sharlayan's Thornspeaker level was raised to 41, and he was given another chance to choose one of three skills, but he has never been able to make up his mind which one to choose.
The skill choices at level 40 are Rush (Wild), Starsurge (Balance) and Tranquility (Restoration).
Although he has awakened the blue dragon bloodline, Sarlayan's fighting style still favors melee combat, and Star Surge is undoubtedly useless at this stage.
Dash is a short-term accelerated movement skill in claw form. It cannot be said to be useless, but it must be transformed into claw form, which limits its range of use.
Moreover, Sharlayan already has the skill of Running and Roaring as a replacement, so the demand for rushing is not high.
This is the second time that Restoration Tranquility has appeared. This is a large-scale guided group healing skill.
According to the information provided by the barrage, Tranquility's healing capacity is considerable, but it is not very practical in battle and can be easily interrupted.
In the past, Sarlayan did not choose Tranquility for this reason.
But think about it from another angle, why do you have to stand still in the battle? Can't it be used outside of combat?
There are more and more members in Sarlayan's team, and the others don't have the same abnormal self-healing ability as him, so there will inevitably be bumps and bruises in the battle.
Onyxia is a black dragon, and her defense power is amazing.
Unless she was deliberately causing trouble, it wouldn't be that easy to get hurt.
Stellagosa's body is a magical dragon, and its defense is relatively weak, but it is only against other dragons.
Compared with ordinary mortals, Stellagosa's physical fitness is still beyond all aspects, and even if she is injured, it is usually not very serious.
What worried Sarlayan the most was Valeela and Little Tina, who had just joined the team recently.
Although Tina also has the physique of a dragon, she has just been promoted to a young dragon after all, and her strength is still relatively weak.
Even if Sarlayan and others were closely protecting her, given her restless nature, she might still be injured in the battle.
Not to mention Valeela, she is a proper mortal.
The reason why Sharlayan wanted to instill the life essence of the red dragon into her was to improve Valeera's relatively weak physique.
With her flexible skills, Valeela was rarely injured, but once she was injured, it would definitely be a serious injury.
After all, she is just a dexterous leather-armored thief, and it is impossible for her to act in full plate armor like a paladin.
With the two powerful survival skills of Shadow Cloak and Dodge, Valeela has not suffered any serious injuries so far, but who can say for sure?
Shadow Cloak can only defend against spell attacks, and dodge is ineffective against range attacks.
For example, if Valeera encounters a physical range attack in an environment where it is difficult to evade, she will be almost 100% unable to defend herself and will have no choice but to bite the bullet.
So far, Sarlayan has not seriously chosen any healing skills, and can only use the basic healing spells that come with the Dru Yin profession.
Sharlayan has begun to supplement the low-level skills of warriors and Dru Yin, but it is unlikely that he will be able to produce results quickly.
Tranquility is an advanced skill in the recovery specialization, and the priority of self-study will definitely be very low.
Now we were encountering a situation that required large-scale treatment. After weighing it, Sarlayan reluctantly gave up running and chose tranquility.
Thornspeaker's skills are two aspects of one thing.
There is nothing to say about life, it is just pure tranquility.
The tranquility on the death side left Sarlayan speechless. The original range-guided healing spell was turned into a range-guided damage spell, which could quickly reduce the enemy's vitality within a certain range.
This stance-guiding skill is difficult to use in battle unless you can hide under the cover of other teammates.
But this skill called Rain of Death is an indiscriminate range of damage, which is destined to not have much room for development.
...Unless Sharlayan trains it to the point where it can move and guide.
That’s a story for another day.
…
While waiting for Sylvanas to notify the wounded soldiers, Stellagosa, who went to Wyrmrest Temple to report the situation, hurried back.
Onyxia will temporarily stay in the Obsidian Holy Land, trying to persuade Dragon Queen Sinestra to let Abyssian roam freely.
After learning of Sharlayan's plan, Stellagosa lowered her head and pondered for a while.
"Can you cast a spell with the help of external force... It is theoretically possible, but in practice it is not that easy."
After all, external force is just external force, and it cannot be manipulated like an arm or a finger like the strength you have trained hard on your own.
"How about this."
Stellagosa pointed downwards at the ground: "I will help you fine-tune the structure of the magic network. I will assist you in the process of casting spells, which may strengthen your control over external forces."
Sarlayan's eyes lit up when he heard this: "It's a good idea, let's try it first."
As the most promising star of the blue dragon clan and the most valued granddaughter of the blue dragon patriarch Senegos, Stellagosa's status among the blue dragon clan is not low.
Generally speaking, young dragons are not eligible for the magic network adjustment authority, and even most adult blue dragons must consider granting it.
Malygos looks forward to Stellagosa's future achievements, and believes that she is not the kind of child who abuses her power without measure.
Under Senegos's entanglement, the frustrated Blue Dragon King granted this authority to her in advance.
With the maximum ability of the young dragon stage, Stellagosa cannot adjust the flow of the magic network on a large scale, and can only fine-tune it on a small scale like now.
The magic power of the Sunwell gushed out from the magic network node at his feet, and the natural power transmitted from the two giant trees entered Sarlayan's body at the same time.
This is the first time Sharlayan has tried to balance Dru Yin's job, balancing arcane magic with the power of nature.
As Stellagosa said, external forces are very awkward to manipulate.
Sarlayan tried for a while before he gradually got the hang of it.
"Salayan."
Sylvanas strode over under the leadership of Little Tina. A lot of blood could be seen on her body, and there was still a finger-long lacerated wound on the left cheek under the ranger's hood.
When Valeera and Stellagosa saw the wounds on Sylvanas's face, they clearly showed distressed expressions, as if they were lamenting that this beautiful face like a work of art had been stained with flaws.
Sarlayan was also stunned for a moment: "Shiva, what are you doing?"
"this?"
Sylvanas touched the scabbed wound with a bitter smile on her face.
"The wound left by the unexpected scale blast from Wind Serpent Luo Aquisluen was not directly penetrated through the forehead. It is a blessing among misfortunes."
Wind snakes are a very magical creature. They have a slender body like a snake, but the snake has a pair of fleshy wings. It can actually fly in the air with these small wings.
The wind serpent Loa Quethrun is one of the Loa gods enshrined in Dakkar. He first appeared on the battlefield during the attack that ended not long ago.
To deal with this flying creature, Sylvanas, as a ranger general, did her best.
The strength of the Loa gods varies. The strongest ones can reach the level of wilderness demigods, while the weak ones can even be killed by mortals.
Quesluen has the strength of a peak mortal, so Sylvanas should be able to hold it back in a one-on-one situation.
In the battle that just ended, the Dakkarai troll invested three Loa at once: Wind Serpent Quesluen, Snow Leopard Hakoa, and Giant Bear Lennok.
Liadrin led the Morningfront Legion to entangle Lennok, and Sylvanas stopped Queslun. Only the elusive snow leopard Hakoa could not be restrained.
While Sylvanas and Ques'lun were fighting fiercely, Hakoa suddenly climbed up the city wall unexpectedly and appeared behind Sylvanas. Ques'lun also shot out the fallen scales at this time.
If a ranger hadn't sacrificed his life to push her out of Hakoa's attack range, Sylvanas wouldn't have been injured just on her face.
Her wounds could be healed if treated promptly.
But at this moment, the wet nurses in the entire camp were almost drained. As a commander, Sylvanas could not delay the therapists' life-saving efforts because of her love for beauty.
"Hey~"
Sharlayan could understand the choice Sylvanas had made. He shook his head helplessly and stretched out his hand to signal her: "That's right. Don't leave either. Go into the circle and wait."
The wounded soldiers who were notified came to the open space under the city wall one after another, and consciously walked into the circle that Valeela had drawn in advance.
According to Sarlayan's request, the soldiers who came were all with minor injuries and could regain their combat effectiveness in a short period of time.
As for those who were seriously injured... there was nothing Saryan could do.
Healing spells are not omnipotent, and some injuries cannot be saved by human intervention.
When the scheduled time came, Sharlayan and Stellagosa looked at each other.
"let's start."
