Olfa has no prejudice against the Kul Tirans, and does not think they did anything wrong in that battle. Gorak Tur and his followers simply brought it upon themselves.
But after all, it was the Kul Tirans who cut off Drust's heritage, and Olfa always had a knot in his heart.
He was unwilling to move to Boralus to personally manage the growing number of Dru Yin, so he only sent the chief apprentice there, and he only served as an honorary leader.
He folded his wings and landed in front of the Orfa den. While transforming back into his human form, Sarlayan looked at his surroundings with emotion.
“It’s become a lot more deserted here.”
"Huh? What a rare visitor. What brought the Earl of Shadow, who is busy with everything, here?"
A familiar old voice came from the cave, and a strange-looking giant bear with thorns slowly walked out.
"meaning!"
Tinagosa was startled by this ferocious-looking giant bear, and subconsciously hugged Sarlayan's head.
"Salayan, what is this monster? Why is it still talking?"
Sarlayan spread his hands in a funny manner: "Don't be nervous, he is my Thornspeaker mentor, the Great Thornspeaker Orfa."
Sarlayan bowed politely to Orfa who was not very friendly and insisted: "Long time no see, mentor Orfa, how have you been these past few years?"
"snort!"
Orfa snorted angrily: "Thanks to your kid, the old man can't enjoy his old age in peace. He has been yelled at by a bunch of gangsters and girls all day long. He finally recovered from the second half of last year."
Sarlayan argued with a smile: "Enjoy your old age in peace? That's not your ambition. I helped you attract so many disciples and disciples, but instead of thanking you, you blame me. Doesn't that make sense?"
"Tsk~ You're a smooth-tongued brat."
Olfa curled his lips and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it. I'm too lazy to argue with you about whether it's true or not."
Sarlayan waved his hand: "I have nothing special to say. I am on a business trip to Kul Tiras, so I just happened to take the time to come over and see you."
"Ha~ As you wish."
Orfa still walked slowly back to the den: "Anyway, I don't have anything worth planning for you here. Come in, just in time to tell me about the changes in the outside world."
…
Most of Orfa's apprentices have moved to the Oak House in Boralus. There are only a few younger children left in the den, all of whom are the children of his apprentices. They can also be regarded as giving the old bear a happy grandson. .
Sarlayan did not have any special intention in coming to see Olfa. He just came to visit him and learn from him.
Theoretically, Quel'Thalas, which sits on the Sunwell, has no shortage of food, and it seems that there is no urgent need for Druyin to grow.
actually not.
Dru Yin is not only able to improve and ripen grain seeds. All living things that exist in nature can be handed over to Dru Yin for improvement and breeding.
There are but are not limited to plants.
Since it was decided to vigorously develop the navy, a large number of trees would inevitably be consumed in the territory of Quel'Thalas.
If they are cut without planting, the environment of Yongge Forest and Jingge Forest will be greatly changed, and in severe cases, it may even cause soil erosion.
This is something the higher-ups in Quel'Thalas don't want to see.
On the other hand, the breeding output of unicorns has never increased, and the expansion of the Holy Knights of the Morning Frontier Legion has also been limited because of this.
Sarlayan once considered asking his mother, a biologist, to improve the unicorn breed and increase their success rate in breeding offspring.
However, Yin Nasi has more important work to do and has not been able to spare her time to pay attention to the cultivation of mounts.
Taking this decision to vigorously develop the navy as an opportunity, Sharlayan plans to officially introduce the Druyin heritage in Quel'Thalas.
But it's not easy.
Because of some historical issues, most high elves have an instinctive dislike for the profession of Dru Yin.
Kael'thas can issue an executive order to lure more people to join the ranks of Druyin by increasing the benefits of Druyin's profession.
However, the pure temptation of Eli is destined to be short-lasting. Sarlayan hopes to make the arrogant high elves realize the charm of Druyin and let them actively join the ranks of maintaining and transforming nature.
Orfa, who has trained countless apprentices, is undoubtedly an expert in this field, and Sarlayan plans to ask him for tips.
"The trick?"
Olfa shook his head: "What's the secret? It's just to treat each other with sincerity."
"Druyin is a special profession created by the forest demigod Cenarius. It has unique advantages in harmoniously coexisting with nature."
"According to your description of the high elves as a race, although you have left Kalimdor, you have not completely forgotten your love for nature when you were night elves."
"In other words, the high elves have an innate foundation for the existence of the Druyin group, but they cannot overcome the psychological barrier due to some boring historical reasons."
Olfa spread his bear claws: "Then the answer is obvious, isn't it? What you need to do is to untie the knot they have inherited from ancient times to the present, so that the high elves can understand correctly without prejudice. Drew Yin.”
As the saying goes, those in authority are confused, but onlookers know clearly.
Sarlayan, who is in the game, is a member of the high elves himself. He knows very well why the high elves are disgusted with Dru Yin, but it is difficult to think of countermeasures from an objective standpoint.
As a bystander, Olfa made a point of awakening.
If you want to develop Druyin among the high elves, you don't need a lot of hype. The focus is on how to eliminate the high elves' prejudice against Druyin...or night elves.
"Hey~"
Sarlayan felt a headache when he thought about this problem.
"There is a long way to go. This is not a problem that Quel'Thalas can solve unilaterally. I also need the cooperation of the night elves."
Orfa waved his hand lazily: "This is what I can control. You can think about it slowly... Okay, don't waste time with me, do what you should do."
"Oh, right."
Orfa, who was about to fall asleep, suddenly remembered something. He raised his head again and said to Sarlayan: "Three years ago, a green-skinned monster named Garona came to me. She said she came here under your guidance. .”
"oh?"
If Orfa didn't say anything, Sarlayan almost forgot about it.
Garona Harfoulson is a legendary thief who is a hybrid of orc and draenei. The backdoor program left by Gul'dan remains in her soul. Once activated, she will be forcibly controlled.
After Orgrim Doomhammer came to power, most of the Shadow Council's warlocks were slaughtered.
Counting the first-generation death knight who was later resurrected by Gul'dan, there were only two senior members of the Shadow Council who could still hold Garona's leash.
One is Talon Bloodfiend who is trapped in Draenor, and the other is Gul'dan's proud apprentice who has taken refuge in Cho'gall, the two-headed ogre of the Old God.
Due to the damage to the Dark Portal, the connection between Azeroth and Draenor was completely severed, and it was impossible for Talon Gorefiend to cross the world and come to Azeroth in a short time.
The only one who can pose a threat to Garona is Cho'gall.
In order to get rid of this dangerous hidden danger, Sarlayan specifically instructed Garona to come to Kul Tiras to seek help from Orfa.
"So? What happened? Was the control spell in her soul lifted?"
"certainly."
Orfa smiled confidently: "That little trick doesn't trouble me. The person who placed the restriction is not specialized in soul magic. It's difficult to lift it just because he has a lot of magic power poured into the flying brick."
"Don't interrupt yet, what you want to say next is the main point."
Olfa straightened his face and said, "Before Garona leaves, she entrusts me to convey a message to you during your next visit."
Sharlayan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why do you want to limit the next visit? Can't you just send the letter directly to Quel'Thalas?"
Orfa shrugged: "How do I know? That's what she said exactly."
"You kid, stop interrupting and listen to me first!"
Orfa said seriously: "She told me the name of a place I had never heard of before. What is it called...Shadowmoon Valley?"
"oh?"
Sarlayan's eyes flashed: "What else?"
"Well...let me recall it carefully."
Olfa is old and has been busy teaching his disciples and grandchildren in recent years, so he doesn’t remember things clearly from a few years ago.
Fortunately, he was not too old to be lost in the lake, so he recalled it after sorting out his memory.
"Remember, she said she would give you a chance to go to the Hand of Gul'dan in Shadowmoon Valley to find a... fragment of Senluken?"
"She asked you to take the fragment to the Throne of the Elements. Perhaps you can extract some information about the Burning Legion from this fragment. It seems to be related to Kil'jaeden."
