There are still a lot of miscellaneous things to deal with in the follow-up of Northrend, but those have nothing to do with Sharlayan and his party for the time being.
Before leaving Northrend and returning home, Sharlayan made a special trip to Dragonblight. He first said hello to Malygos, who was on duty at Wyrmrest Temple, and then went to the Obsidian Holy Land to visit Sinestra, whom he had not seen for a long time. and Abyssian.
Different from the last time they met, Sinestra's attitude towards Sharlayan has obviously become closer, and she obviously already knows about Onyxia's decision to choose a mate.
Speaking of this, Sarlayan also felt a little surprised.
He thought that the Black Dragon Princess had other motives for following him around, but he didn't expect that she really wanted to offer herself a pillow.
Onyxia's feelings for him are indeed not as pure as Stella and Valeela's, but they are not as completely utilitarian as the political marriage that Sarlayan initially thought. It is somewhere in between.
Regardless of whether the existing black dragons are willing to admit it, the decline of the black dragon clan is an objective reality.
Deathwing's betrayal caused the Black Dragons to fall apart, and the two factions parted ways after an internal fight.
The traitors led by Deathwing were frantically hunted by Wyrmrest Temple for the next ten thousand years.
Nowadays, the remaining pure-blooded black dragons under Deathwing are less than one-tenth of what they were when they first split, and they have shrunk very seriously.
On the other hand, most of the frustrated black dragons from the establishment faction chose to retreat into the mountains and forests.
After Sinestra returned to the Obsidian Holy Land with Onyxia and Abyssian, she immediately raised a banner and called on the reclusive black dragons to return to their hometown and contribute their share of efforts to the black dragon prince Abyssian to bring order to the chaos.
However, as Sarlayan expected, dry slogans alone could not win over the establishment black dragons who had experienced desperate times.
Several years have passed, and only a dozen or so reclusive black dragons have responded to the call and returned to the Dragon Bone Wilderness to help in the battle, and most of these black dragons are the young offspring of the senior black dragons after they split.
To put it bluntly, let them come and take a stand to see the situation.
As the only black dragon prince qualified to compete with Nefarian for the throne, Abisian grew up free-range.
Although he has gained considerable strength with the dragon's innate talent and hard work, due to the lack of systematic guidance and training, there is still a certain gap between him and Nefarian, who has received elite education for a long time.
Sinestra has suppressed Abyssian in recent years not only because of doting on her, but also to teach him the knowledge and skills that the black dragon clan must master.
According to Onyxia's speculation, Abyssian will be recognized by her mother within five years at the latest.
At that time, he can officially raise the banner of being the Black Dragon Crown Prince, request assistance from Wyrmrest Temple as the heir to the Black Dragon King, and lead the dragon army to wipe out the upper level of Blackstone Mountain where the traitor Nefarian is entrenched.
Since the end of the Second Orc War, the Backlight Blade has continued to transmit relevant information about Blackstone Mountain. Today, Blackstone Mountain is divided into upper and lower parts.
The upper level is occupied by the black dragon clan commanded by Nefarian, and the black dragon's slaves, the Blackstone Orcs.
The lower Blackrock Abyss is home to the original owners of Blackstone Mountain, the Dark Iron dwarves who were enslaved by Ragnaros, the Fire Demon King.
Although the two are colleagues in the ancient god system, their relationship with each other is not harmonious. Their masters often let the Blackstone Orcs and the Dark Iron Dwarves engage in proxy wars.
For the bosses behind the two parties, this is just a pastime when they are bored. Anyway, the victims are slaves, so they don't feel bad if they die.
Unlike the Blackstone Orcs who follow the Black Dragon wholeheartedly, the Dark Iron Dwarves who feel humiliated have always wanted to get rid of the enslavement of the fire element.
According to the information provided by the agents of the Backlight Blade who infiltrated Shadowforge City, the contemporary Dark Iron King Dagran Thaurissan seems to be doing some small tricks secretly.
Unfortunately, the Dark Iron Dwarves were unable to resist the powerful Fire Demon King with their strength.
As long as the avatar of Ragnaros remains, the Dark Iron dwarves will never be able to shake off their status as slaves.
Sarlayan specifically asked Stellagosa, who was working as a secretary, to write down this matter. He was waiting for a suitable time.
As long as the time comes, the Backlight Blade can contact Daglan Thaurissan in the name of Sarlayan and secretly discuss how to overthrow the rule of the Fire Elemental King.
This opportunity is the disappearance of the bronzebeard dwarf princess Moira...or should I say, a mistake?
Inadvertently, his thoughts drifted away again, and Sarlayan came back to his senses with the reminders of Valeera and Little Star.
Any fool can see that the guardian dragons are optimistic about Sarlayan, a half-dragon. Sinestra has personally seen Sarlayan's skills in the outer realm, and there is no doubt about his ability.
Since her daughter liked it, Sinestra also supported Onyxia's decision.
As for competing with others for men... this is nothing new among the Dragon Clan, everyone just depends on their own methods.
Sinestra held Sarlayan's hand affectionately and greeted her, saying good things for her precious daughter in every word.
Her rainbow farts made Onyxia, who was standing aside, look very embarrassed, and she began to wonder if the beautiful and intelligent woman her mother mentioned was actually her.
Onyxia is self-aware. She knows that she is not a decent person in the traditional sense, but she is not as depraved as Deathwing.
Referring to the evaluation of Danmaku, Onyxia should be regarded as both good and evil.
Her stance may be regarded as decent, but her methods of dealing with the enemy are very evil.
For example, she was able to take over the cruel torture that Sarlayan, Valeela and others were resistant to without any pressure, and willingly took on the dirty work... and even enjoyed it.
Sarlayan didn't care about Onyxia's good and evil style. He just needed such a person in his team to play the bad role and be responsible for those less honorable tasks.
After finally waiting for Sinestra's embarrassing bragging to end, Sharlayan hurriedly said goodbye to the Dragon Queen, saying that there were still important matters in the country waiting for him to deal with.
"Wait a minute, take this girl back with you."
Sinestra pushed Onyxia behind: "Ever since she came back, she has been buzzing in my ears every day. It's annoying to me. It's better for you to restrain her."
Onyxia showed her hands to her mother in a state of laughter and tears: "Am I your biological child? You really don't need a daughter if you have a son, right?"
"Go! Go! Go!"
Sinestra waved her hand angrily: "Why don't you reflect on why my attitude toward you two is so different? Which one do you prefer, a good child who is filial and sensible, or a bad child who is disobedient?"
Onyxia: "Bad boy... because I can bully him without any psychological pressure."
Sinestra felt a little tired: "...Forget it, you can leave. I always feel that there is a generation gap with you, a dead girl."
Onyxia curled her lips: "Isn't that natural? I'm still young, you..."
"roll!"
Just like that, the outspoken fun man was kicked in the butt by the angry Sinestra and rejoined the team, cursing.
With Onyxia joining again, Valeera and Stellagosa's relaxed days are over again. They have been busy guarding themselves all day long, and even Tinagosa, who was clapping and watching the excitement, was caught. Strong man.
Not to mention, Xiao Tina really played some role.
One night, when Onyxia secretly sneaked into Sharlayan's room, what she saw on the bed was not Sharlayan, but Tinagosa, who was sleeping with her arms stretched out and drooling.
Sarlayan? He has been kicked off the bed.
Onyxia, who was full of question marks, accidentally triggered the spell warning set by Tina.
Within 3 seconds, Stellagosa and Valeela "flashed" into Sharlayan's room in sleepy clothes, catching the confused black dragon princess on the spot.
Sarlayan was too lazy to pay attention to the battle of wits between the three women. He had a hunch that once he showed his bias, the situation would become more complicated.
In barrage terms, this is called a rare lake.
Sarlayan, who was pretending to be dumbfounded, seemed completely unaware of the overt and covert fights between the three of them, and carried little Tina around on the boat happily all day long.
Half a month later, the icebreaker departing from Wagard Port successfully crossed the North Sea and docked at Yangfan Port, the largest port in Yonge Forest.
"Suck~"
Returning to his hometown after a long time, Sarlayan took a deep breath, and the familiar air containing arcane energy refreshed him.
"Finally home."
Before Thalayando could observe the changes in Sunsail Port over the past few years, the messenger sent by Kael'thas to greet them had already strode up.
"Your Excellency, Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time. Please get on the carriage and follow me."
Sarlayan smiled bitterly and shrugged at Valeera and Stellagosa: "Isn't this just me looking for trouble?"
Valeela pushed Sarlay'an behind angrily: "Don't be poor. Get in the car as soon as your Majesty calls you. The sooner we can solve the problem, the sooner we can go home."
