Sarlayan thought that this trip to Wyrmrest Temple would end smoothly, but the development of things was somewhat different from what he imagined.
Karen, who was acting on behalf of the Dragon King, was walking on thin ice, and Sarlayan could clearly see the nervousness in his expression.
However, with the help of the mature and steady Taran, Karen, who was supervising the country for the first time, seemed a little panicked, but she still handled all the affairs in an orderly manner.
"Ah! Titan bless you, Sarlayan, you came just in time!"
Karen had a look of surprise on her face when she saw Sarlayan.
Due to his busy schedule, Sarlayan did not have many opportunities to meet Karen.
However, after all, it was Sharlayan who took the lead in planning the Second War of Quicksand and rescued Karen, Melinthra and Arygos from the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj, and the three crown princes have always been grateful to him.
Alygos is still in the Demonic Nexus at this moment, handling the internal affairs of the blue dragon clan on behalf of Malygos, who has not yet recovered from his illness. The representative of the blue dragon sitting in Wyrmrest Temple is Azoregos.
However, Azoregus was not in Wyrmrest Temple at the moment. He had heard the dragons downstairs chatting and mentioned that he seemed to have urgently received a difficult mission and had only set out two days ago.
The representatives of the black dragon and the bronze dragon did not stay at Wyrmrest Temple. In addition to Karen and Taran, there was also a night elf woman with long green hair in the temple conference hall on the top of the tower.
From the dragon horns on the head of this beautiful and gentle night elf woman and the color of her hair, you can guess that she should be a member of the green dragon clan.
Sarlayan smiled and nodded to her, and then asked Karen with some confusion: "Long time no see, Karen, what do you mean you came just in time? Are you in trouble?"
Karen smiled bitterly and spread her hands: "Yes, a group of uninvited guests have appeared in Dragonblight... Let me not talk about this for now. Let me introduce them to you."
Karen reached out and gestured to the night elf woman: "This is the crown prince of the green dragon clan, Melinsela."
With Karen's introduction, Melinsela bent her knees slightly and lifted her long skirt elegantly, displaying the standard etiquette of a high elf noble.
"Mr. Sharlayan Deep Shadow, this is the first time we meet. I am Melinthra."
"I have always wanted to find an opportunity to express my gratitude to you in person before. Unfortunately, due to various objective reasons, I have always been sidelined."
Sarlayan hurriedly waved his hand and said humbly: "Your Highness Princess, you are serious. It was the Azeroth coalition that rescued you from the underground. I just did some insignificant matchmaking work."
Taran suddenly interjected: "This is not trivial. If there is no one centrally planning, a coalition of that size cannot be gathered casually."
"Melinsela is the eldest daughter of Yin Sera and Yin Lannicus, and the undisputed chief heir to the throne of the Green Dragon clan."
"If nothing unexpected happens, she will definitely inherit Yin Sera's throne in the future. You better seize this opportunity to get close to her first."
Sarlayan glanced at Taran helplessly: "What you said...makes me sound utilitarian."
"Ha ha!"
Taran laughed indifferently and said: "Just kidding, even if you don't have Yin Nasi's connections, based on your contributions and achievements in protecting Azeroth over the years, there are many dragons who want to get close to you."
Taran, who has always been steady, rarely playfully blinked his left eye: "Isn't the Blue Dragon Princess downstairs a clear example?"
Sarlayan complained depressedly: "You really don't want to pick up the pot. You should all know that I already have a blue dragon partner, right?"
Karen's face showed a look of narrow-mindedness: "What's the matter? It's nothing new for powerful dragons to have multiple partners."
"If you have that idea, I believe His Majesty Malygos will immediately terminate the engagement between Ty Lee and Kalec, and pack her up and send her to your bed that night."
"Ahem!"
Melinsela glared at Karen accusingly: "That's enough, the more you talk, the more outrageous it becomes. Don't you still want to talk to Saraian about business?"
Karen, Melinthera and Arygos, the three brothers and sisters, have been trapped in the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj for thousands of years. They have long developed a deep comradeship with each other, and they speak without any scruples.
Karen raised her hands in a flattering gesture of surrender: "Okay, I know you don't like this kind of sexy talk. I was the one who was abrupt... Well, let's get back to the business."
After Sharlayan's initial observation, Melinthera is very similar to her mother Yinsera, with a relatively reserved personality and not as fussy as the blue dragon princess Talygosa.
This kind of character is relatively rare among the dragon clan who generally act in a more flamboyant manner, perhaps due to the influence of her mother's education.
After a brief moment of distance banter, Karen finally got down to the business he had mentioned before.
"Salayan, you should have heard some vague rumors in the lower level of Wyrmrest Temple, right?"
Sarlayan also straightened his face and nodded: "Is it related to the urgent mission that Azoregus received?"
"That's right."
Karen motioned to Sarlayan to follow her to the edge of the temple, and raised her hand to point to the snowy field to the west of Wyrmrest Temple.
"You may have heard that dragons are not the only ones that exist in the Dragonblight Wilderness. There is a group of walrus people living in the port of Moaaki in the south, and there is also a yak people village in the west bordering the Borean Tundra."
"As long as they are willing to abide by the rules set by the dragon clan, Longmian Temple does not mind other races coming to settle here on a limited basis."
The walruses and yaks are both peace-loving races, and have lived in peace with the dragons in the Dragonblight for more than ten thousand years.
Sarlayan had heard the barrage mention the split of Pandaria's buffalo people before. The yak people were one of the splinter groups, and they had moved to the Northrend region in the far north long before the Great Sundering.
As for the Walrus people, they have a longer history of living here. It is said that before the Wyrmrest Temple was built, they were serious aborigines of Northrend.
Karen continued: "Sixteen thousand years ago, there was a great war between the troll empire at its peak and the Aqir empire controlled by the remnants of the ancient gods."
"This war that spread throughout Azeroth ended with the Troll Empire's victory. The Yaqir Empire was completely broken up and split into three different branches of the Bugmen."
Hearing this, Sarlayan already guessed what Karen wanted to say.
As expected, Karen said worriedly: "The Mantid clan has been stationed in Pandaria for a long time. We have never heard from them since the earth shattered thousands of years ago."
"The Qiraji were attracted by C'Thun's aura, and the whole family moved to the deserted Silithus."
"After the second quicksand war, all the high-level Qiraji bugs were killed, and only a few scattered fish escaped. Under the continuous suppression of the Cenarion Council, they have become insignificant."
"The last one..."
Karen raised his hand and pointed to the west of the snowfield. The howling wind and snow obscured Sarlayan's sight, but he already understood what Karen meant.
"It's the Nerub buggers who settled in Northrend. They established a huge underground kingdom called Azjol Nerub under Northrend."
A pattern can be seen from the whereabouts of these three insect tribes. There are seals or remains of ancient gods near their footholds.
The Qiraji correspond to C'Thun, the Mantid corresponds to the long-dead Y'Shaarj, and the Nerub correspond to Yogg-Saron who was sealed in Ulduar.
It can be seen from this that even after experiencing the great defeat 16,000 years ago, these insect people are still determined to release the ancient gods and return to the dark empire era controlled by the Aqir insect people. .
Regarding the Nerub buggers, the barrage provided Sarlayan with some more detailed intelligence.
Different from the other two insect tribes that are still loyal to the ancient gods, after countless generations of reproduction, the Nerub insect tribe's attitude towards the ancient gods has changed significantly.
They are no longer interested in releasing Yogg-Saron from the seal, and only want to develop their own tribe.
It is precisely because the Nerub buggers have always behaved relatively honestly that the dragon clan in Northrend acquiesced in allowing them to live underground in the North, and even established their own kingdom.
However, just recently, the Nerubites, who had always been on good terms with the Dragon Clan, suddenly dug underground passages to the surface of Dragonbone Wilderness, and even clashed with the Yak people of Ice Mist Village and the Walrus people of Moyaqi.
The reason why Azoregus was dispatched urgently was to find out the reason why the nerubians rushed out of the underground.
"Did the Nerubians escape to the surface..."
Sarlayan's eyes narrowed slightly: "Perhaps, I know the reason behind this matter."
