The barrage provided Sarlayan with very little information about the Winter Queen. Most people believed that the Eternal had a cold personality and that reason outweighed emotion when considering gains and losses.
But after actually coming into contact with the Winter Queen, Sarlayan discovered that this was not the case.
As Moonberry said, in order to maintain her majesty as a ruler, the Winter Queen looks calm and steady on the surface, but in fact she is very gentle, and she does not put on the airs of being an Eternal when facing Sharlayan, a mortal. .
From the previous misunderstanding of Sharlayan's origin, it can be seen that she is not as emotionally indifferent as the barrage said, and has been looking forward to having more contact with her sister Elune.
So, what is the reason why the barrage of knowing the future has a bad impression of the Winter Queen?
[I remembered, it seems to have been mentioned in the plot of version 9.0. 】
[Due to the anima depletion crisis in the Shadow Realm, the Winter Queen once asked Elune for help, hoping that she could send the dead Moon God followers into Ardenweald to make up for the serious shortage of anima. 】
[Elune did help. She sent all the souls of the night elves who died in the burning of Teldrassil to the Shadow Realm. 】
[But because the Arbitrator was down at the time, these souls had no one to guide them and were directly led into the Maw. 】
[Failed to receive help from Elune, the Winter Queen was very sad about this. The spiritual species under her protection withered due to lack of anima, including Ursoc, the giant bear demigod from Azeroth. 】
[Perhaps it is for this reason that the frustrated Queen of Winter has become a lot more indifferent. 】
[At this period, the Winter Queen has not experienced a series of changes, and still maintains a good sisterly relationship with Elune, so naturally she will not be indifferent to others. 】
[Good thing, if it is the Winter Queen who transforms into a fisherman in the future, it is basically impossible for Xiao Sa to make a deal with her. 】
After leaving the Heart of the Forest Temple, Sarlayan saw Moonberry waiting at the gate.
Moonberry smiled and flew to Sarlayan's shoulder and sat down familiarly, patting his head with her little hand, deliberately pretending to be an elder.
"Come out? Don't rush into action yet."
"No matter what you do next, let me arrange a temporary residence for you first."
If you want to drive away the entire Drust group, it will definitely not be accomplished in a day or two.
Sarlayan has always been accustomed to information coming first. He needs to know the detailed information about Drust before he can formulate corresponding countermeasures efficiently.
"Information..." Optimist Moonberry sat on Sarlayan's shoulder and said with her calves dangling: "Then you need to find the leader of the Wild Hunt, the leader of the Wokayin clan - Lord Herne."
"It's getting late today. I'll take you to rest first. Early tomorrow morning, I'll accompany you to find him. He should give me a favor."
"Speaking of which."
Sarlayan looked up at the sky in confusion.
Ever since entering Ardenweald, the dark sky above his head seemed to have never changed. Sarlayan once suspected that the standard of "a day" in the Shadow Realm was different from that in Azeroth.
However, after asking Yue Berry, he got a negative answer.
Shadowlands, like Azeroth, also has 24 hours a day.
The reason why you can't see daylight is because of the unique eternal night environment in Ardenweald.
Corresponding to the eternal night in Ardenweald is Ascension Bastion. It is said that night will never fall on that land.
"...The night elves in Azeroth should like this special environment very much."
The night elves' work and rest time is day and night, and they can use the special racial talent "Shadow Escape" at night, which can exert stronger combat effectiveness in the dark.
Moonberry smiled and took over the words: "You are right. The night elves living in Ardenweald are very satisfied here. Unfortunately, compared with the four major races, their number is too small."
Sarlayan asked curiously: "Why is this? Are there many night elves assigned to the other three major kingdoms?"
"No, no, that's not the case at all."
Moonberry pretended to be mature, folded her arms in front of her chest and explained in a serious manner: "This issue is related to the belief of the night elves."
"Elune, the sister of the Winter Queen, allows the souls of night elves to stay in their home world. Under Elune's protection, the souls of dead night elves will not be worn away by the passage of time."
"Therefore, most night elves will choose to stay in Azeroth after death, and only a few carefree people will be sent to Ardenweald by Elune."
Sarlayan touched his chin thoughtfully: "So that's it, Moon Goddess Elune... I really want to see her in person if I have the chance."
"Okay~ Don't worry about so many things. Your temporary residence has arrived."
After being woken up from his reverie by being slapped on the head by Moonberry, Sarlayan raised his head and looked at the place where Moonberry had arranged for him.
The architectural style of Ardenweald is very similar to that of the night elves, with all houses being wooden structures.
The house Yueberry lent to Sarlayan was a small independent villa, divided into two floors.
After a brief tour of the house, Sarlayan thanked Moonberry.
"All kinds of daily necessities are available. Thank you, Yue Miao."
"Hmph~"
Moonberry put her hands on her hips proudly: "You don't need to thank me. If you want to thank me, just thank Her Majesty the Queen. Solving Drust's troubles in Ardenweald is the greatest thank you to her."
Sarlayan smiled and nodded: "I will try my best to seize the time, so see you tomorrow morning."
"Okay~ See you tomorrow."
While Sarlayan was talking to the Winter Queen, Yueberry hired someone to tidy up the idle villa, including all new sheets, quilts and other items.
Lying on the big soft bed, Sarlayan looked out through the window at the eternal night sky. The shining stars were still dotted in the dark night sky.
"Elune's blessing? No wonder the night elves were able to summon so many ancient souls at once during the Battle of Hyjal."
"The Queen of Winter has already met her, but she didn't know that Elune, the Moon Goddess, looks a bit like her sister."
…
Theoretically, as an immortal species, Sarlayan does not need to sleep to replenish energy.
However, due to living in the mortal community for a long time, Sarlayan habitually maintained a normal human schedule.
At around 5 a.m. the next morning, Moonberry flew into Sarlayan's temporary bedroom through the second-floor window without anyone noticing, chirping to wake him up from his meditation.
"Get up! The moon is about to show off its butt!"
Sarlayan opened his eyes and smiled bitterly: "This is the first time I've heard of the moon showing off your butt... Okay, I'm up."
The quirky Moonberry urged Sarlayan to finish washing as soon as possible, and enthusiastically gave him a few special fruits of Arden Fairyland to solve the breakfast problem.
Under the leadership of Moonberry, Sarlayan once again came to the central area of the Heart of the Forest. In an office on the west side of the temple, he met the leader of the Wild Hunt, Lord Herne, who was busy in front of a huge map.
The goblins have always been casual. They are not as hard-working as Vocain, Fairy Woodling, and Sylvain. After work, they like to run around and make mischief. You can see the goblins flying around in Ardenweald. .
Lord Herne showed no surprise when he saw Moonberry. Apparently Moonberry had often visited here before.
"Hern, I brought you a reliable helper, how can you thank me?"
Lord Hearne is a male Vocain with a rather brave temperament.
When facing Moonberry, Wokayin showed a wry smile.
"Yueberry, I'm still busy with things here. Can I play with you later?"
Yue Berry raised her little head in dissatisfaction: "Huh! Do you think I come here to play with you every time? This time there is really something serious!"
"Look here!"
Hearne followed Yueberry's guidance and looked at "Today's Mount" under her, and raised her eyebrows in confusion.
"This is... a high elf?"
"It's indeed quite rare. Very few high elves are assigned to Ardenweald."
"No!" Moonberry was furious and stomped her feet: "I told you! Sarlayan is the assistant I asked to help you deal with Drust!"
"Oh?" Hern looked meaningfully at Sarlayan, who was still smiling: "It may be a bit rude to say this. The Wild Hunt does not need help from outsiders. If you rashly join people who are not familiar with our tactics, it will cause chaos. The pace of the hunters.”
"Besides, Drust is no match for our Wild Hunting Group in a head-on battle. What worries us is just not being able to find their endless strongholds."
"Really?" Moonberry glared at Hern and sneered, "What if I said, this is Her Majesty the Queen's arrangement?"
Hern: "...Huh?"
