If you really think about it, Sarlayan is actually not much older than Yin Seton.
Perhaps because he has experienced so many things in the past few years, Sarlayan's mentality has been tempered and matured.
When looking at Yin Sedun, who still showed a bit of youthfulness on his face, he would always subconsciously regard him as a junior.
After writing the memorial and approving it, Yin Seton breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed his body and leaned on the back of the chair, and extended his hand to signal Sarai to take a seat.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
"I invited you here because I want to know why Quel'Thalas' attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees?"
Sarlayan synthesized what Alex and Valeela had said, and told Yin Seton in coherent sentences.
Yin Seton is not the kind of headstrong national leader. At least at this stage, he can listen to reasonable advice.
After listening to Sarlayan's explanation, Yin Seton put his chin on his hand and looked thoughtful.
"Isn't it too bad to go too far..."
After pondering for a moment, Yin Seton exhaled a breath and said with a wry smile: "Actually, I don't want to fight to the death with Lordaeron."
"Even if Lordaeron is lucky enough to be wiped out after paying a heavy price, with Alterac's current state, it is destined not to get much benefit from it. It is just making wedding clothes for others."
Sarlayan nodded approvingly: "Your Majesty Yin Seton can think of this calmly, which is enough to prove your wisdom."
As Yin Seton said, let's not mention how much it will cost to destroy Lordaeron.
Even if Lordaeron is successfully defeated, when the various countries stand on the corpse of Lordaeron to divide the spoils, Alterac, which has not contributed much, will definitely not get much.
In this case, why should Alterac bother to fight to the end with Lordaeron at this time?
In Yin Seton's view, even if Lordaeron is to be destroyed one day in the future, Alterac must first ensure that it has sufficient strength and confidence, so that it can grab a sufficient share when dividing the spoils.
For Alterac, now is not the best time to destroy Lordaeron.
Yinseden needs time to restore Alterac's national power, rather than waste precious time and resources in an endless war with Lordaeron.
However, after all, Yin Seton had only just taken the throne and was too young to be able to suppress those nobles who were taking the lead in the battle.
For a king, it would undoubtedly be very annoying for him to sit on the throne but not be able to control the domestic political situation.
Recently, Yin Seton privately discussed a major matter with Duke Jorach Ravenholdt. If Jorach agreed, those nobles who were jumping up and down would immediately shrink their eggs and pretend to be grandsons.
But this decision was not easy to make. Not to mention Qiao Lazi, who was very resistant, even Yin Seton himself was still hesitating.
Sharlayan didn't know what Yin Seton's back-up plan was, but judging from his not very anxious expression, the new king of Alterac had obviously anticipated his situation and seemed to have retained some trump cards. Not taken out.
This conversation in front of the emperor didn't last long. Sarlayan prepared a lot of words, but it seemed that they were all useless.
Yin Seton had already grasped the radical atmosphere in Alterac, and did not need Thalayan to explain the pros and cons.
Through a short conversation, Yin Seton also learned about Quel'Thalas' attitude towards this war.
In a word, Quel'Thalas does not intend to change its stance and help Lordaeron. It just wants to mediate the war out of its own interests and prevent the war from continuing to expand under the instigation of the warring factions on both sides.
In this case, Yin Seton does not need to worry about Quel'Thalas jumping left and right, and can focus on convincing the nobles in the country first.
Although the war between Alterac and Lordaeron is still going on, anyone with a discerning eye can see that if Terenas cannot persuade the domestic peace faction to continue to increase their bets, they want to win the Alterac with reinforcements from various countries with their current military strength. Trank, this is nothing more than a dream.
After leaving the temporary palace, Sarlayan, Tina and Valeela rushed to Meili's secret laboratory deep in the mountains without stopping.
In fact, it was the warehouse used to deliver materials to the Barov family.
While Sarlayan was heading to the palace, Valeela had already completed the handover with officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and had just received the latest news from Meri.
He has completed the research and modification of Trollbane's battle axe.
A group of three people landed in front of the laboratory converted from a warehouse. Sarlayan had just transformed from griffin form back to human form when Merry opened the door and walked out of the laboratory. There was still a hand hanging next to him. Giant battle axe.
The appearance of Trollbane's battle ax is very ferocious, like a monster with teeth and claws. Even the end of the ax handle has a sharp chamfer, making it literally armed to the teeth.
What makes Sarlayan feel strange is that the blade of Trollbane's battle ax is not the common metallic dark silver, but a rather permeating blood red color.
Sarlayan turned to look at Tinagosa. The little guy shook his head and waved his hands hurriedly: "Don't look at me. When it was first unearthed, this ax was not of this color."
Merry used the levitation technique to throw the battle ax towards Sharlayan.
"Then, give it a try."
Sarai held the handle of the pure black ax body steadily. With his powerful strength derived from the dragon clan, he could not hold it with one hand. He hurriedly added his left hand to the handle, which stopped the ax body from continuing to droop.
"Fuck! It's so heavy!"
The ax is undoubtedly a heavy weapon, not to mention the weight of a two-handed tomahawk.
Trollbane's battle ax is much heavier than Valargar's battle sword. Sarlayan can't dance it with one hand. He must use both hands to use it smoothly.
"Hoo! Hoo!"
As Salorian said, every good warrior is a master of weapons.
Although Sarlayan does not often use a battle axe, he is also very familiar with how to use it. When he swings it, he makes a strong wind, and the heavy breaking sound cannot even be suppressed by the mountain wind whistling in the snow-capped mountains.
Since Trollbane's battle ax was not recognized as its owner, this troll slayer could not exert its true power in Sharlayan's hands.
"So Merry, what did you do to it?"
Merry pointed to the runes carved on the blood-red axe blade: "I reconstructed the enchantment of this battle ax and made it general-purpose for suppressing the regeneration of trolls."
"Today's Trollbane battle ax can no longer permanently suppress the regeneration ability. It can only take effect within a certain period of time, but its scope of action is no longer limited to trolls."
"Any wound caused by this battle ax cannot be healed in any form within an hour, and regeneration and healing spells will not take effect."
"Next step, I plan to continue to adjust the effect of the enchantment, and strive to achieve an effect that can temporarily restore the permanent ban on healing ability under certain conditions."
Meri stared at Sarlayan and laughed hoarsely: "I heard that your self-healing ability is very strong? Give it a try."
Sarlayan rolled his eyes angrily: "I asked you why you suddenly asked me to come here. It turns out that I am here to be your guinea pig."
Although he complained, Sarlayan still turned the ax blade and cut a small wound on his left thumb.
Just like Merry introduced, the wound cut by Trollbane's crimson ax blade cannot heal on its own.
Sarlayan could feel the majestic life force in his body flowing towards the wound, but it was blocked by a strange force near the wound, preventing it from exerting its self-healing effect.
"Um……"
Sarlayan ignored the small wound that was still bleeding and looked thoughtfully at the ferocious battle ax in his hand.
"This guy... will be a killer when used to deal with ancient divine creatures."
Merry smiled nonchalantly: "Until it finds its true owner, it will be enshrined in the Guardian Temple for a long time. You can just come and borrow it when you need it."
The reason why the creatures of the ancient gods are difficult to deal with is precisely because of their tenacious life forms and cannot be killed easily.
Even if you kill the creatures of the ancient gods, if you can give them enough time and energy, they may still fake corpses again after a few years.
Zakaz, who was completely sucked dry by the Blade of the Dark Empire not long ago, is a typical example.
If Trollbane's battle ax can curb the regeneration ability of ancient gods, it should also be able to block their resurrection ability.
But it's too early to say this now, as Merry has not yet completed the second phase of the transformation of Trollbane's battle axe.
Sarlayan smiled and said casually: "Maybe my mother will be very interested in this weapon."
He does not mean that.
Hearing Sarlayan mention his mother, Meri's face suddenly twitched.
At this time, the three Sarlayans were all focusing on Trolbane's battle ax, and did not notice the change in Merry's demeanor.
"Ahem! Okay, let's stop here for the experiment."
Merry deliberately coughed slightly and changed the subject: "Salay'an, I heard Tinagosa said that you have something to ask me about?"
"I'll finish it in three sentences. After returning to Dara, I still have a lot of things to do."
