When the footman controlled by the player enters the Shadow Realm, Marquis Stradama of the Chamber of Blight and Marquis Akalek of the Chamber of Sharp Eyes have already left with their lunch boxes.
The difference is that Marquis Akalek truly died without even a scrap left, while Stradama lost her original body and was transformed by the plague into a shape-shifting ooze monster.
One thing is that after seeing Stradama's original peerless appearance with her own eyes, Sarlayan believed that the way of lingering was more uncomfortable for her than death.
Even when she was recuperating in bed, Marquis Stradama had obviously dressed up before entertaining guests, which shows her love for beauty.
If she had known that she would turn into an ugly ooze monster in some parallel time and space... I'm afraid she would have preferred to die a simpler death.
Unlike the unprepared ones in the original history, Stradama raised its guard after negotiating with Akalek and Caixus.
When the bribed baron suddenly rebelled, Stradama made an evasive action under extreme conditions. She was not hit head-on by the new plague she had personally researched, but was only slightly brushed aside.
Even so, this powerful plague specially designed to target demigods also caused a lot of damage to her.
Sarlayan boldly guessed that Stradama's legs hidden under the quilt might not look good.
If you want to completely heal the injury, it will take at least months, not a day or two.
Sarlayan himself was a member of the aristocratic class, and he knew very well that this way of entertaining guests while sitting on the bed was rude.
Stradama was the queen who controlled the entire world during her lifetime and was at the top of all nobles. There was no reason for her to be ignorant of these etiquette issues. She would only entertain guests in such a disrespectful way when she had no choice but to do so.
Sarlayan knew enough not to ask any further questions and bowed to Marquis Stradama with his chest raised in standard aristocratic etiquette.
"It is an honor to be received by you, the distinguished Marquis of Stradama."
"I am Sharlayan Deep Shadow from Azeroth. I was entrusted by the Queen of Winter and her eldest daughter Gristia to come to Maldraxxus to find clues about the disappearance of the soldier master."
Since his hometown was destroyed and his soul entered the Shadow Realm, apart from the weird-looking Venthyr in Revendreth, Stradama has not encountered a real noble for a long time.
Sarlayan's extremely standard aristocratic behavior made her eyes light up, and she looked at Sarlayan's handsome face with admiration.
"Mr. Sharlayan Deep Shadow, there is no need to be polite. I have already heard about your intention from Caixus and Akalek. Come, sit down and talk in detail."
In Quel'Thalas, a place with many rules, Sarlayan considered himself to be just a half-hearted noble, and he had always been despised by the great nobles with a long history.
But the time spent learning aristocratic etiquette from my father since childhood was not wasted after all, at least on the surface it still looks the same.
From Stradama's gestures, Sharlayan could see the elegance that had experienced historical precipitation, but the details were different from the aristocratic etiquette of Quel'Thalas.
Fortunately, Stradama did not play the aristocratic trick of testing me and I testing you in circles.
Having settled in Maldraxxus for many years, she has long been accustomed to the straightforward style of the local roughnecks, asking straight to the point about the battle situation outside.
Sarlayan breathed a sigh of relief and took the topic and replied: "The progress of the rebels' advance is not going smoothly. The support given to them by the Creation Secret Academy is relatively weak. It should be that they bear too much pressure on the battlefield and cannot withdraw. Use excess manpower to fight on two fronts."
"Ha~"
Stradama raised the corner of her mouth with a half-smile: "Kexus has already taken action in person. Even if that stupid pig of Gamar tries his best, it will be difficult to stop him."
"I'm more curious about who gave him the courage to divide his forces at this juncture."
"It is precisely because of this habitual thinking that I was injured by the traitor without any defense...it's hateful."
There are discrepancies between the lists provided by the two marquis of the Withered Chamber and the Winter Queen.
The Baron Tarkov whom Sarlayan met in front of the castle was a rising star, while the other baron who betrayed Stradama has been in power for more than 500 years and has been conscientiously assisting Stradama.
Even the veteran members of the Withered Academy did not expect that he would be bribed by the Academy of Creation and the Academy of Ritual to brazenly kill his immediate boss.
When talking about the origin of this rebellion, Stradama's pretty face turned a little gloomy.
"I asked myself that I treated Yin Seer well, why would he choose to betray me and the Withered Secret Courtyard that he had worked hard to build for more than 800 years?"
Sarlayan shook his head and said: "I don't know the life of Baron Yinser. According to logical speculation, it should be Zoval and Denathius who made an offer that he could not refuse."
"Hard to refuse..."
Marquis Stradama showed a thoughtful expression, as if he had guessed something.
"Forget it, we will consider this issue later... The top priority is to quell the civil strife in the Withering Academy and rush to the front line as soon as possible to provide help to the Soul Selection Academy."
Caixus and his Soul-Selected Academy are indeed astonishing in combat power, but before the main force of the Withering Academy can reach the frontline battlefield, the Soul-Selected Academy must single-handedly fight against the elites of the Creation Academy and the Ritual Academy. Army.
It's not that they can't win, it's mainly that they'll waste a lot of time and lose a lot of Maldraxxus soldiers in this internal conflict.
Denathrius is happy to see this happen. No matter which side wins, he can achieve his goal of weakening the overall strength of Maldraxxus and further consolidate Revendreth's position.
Due to the intelligence blockade by the Winter Queen and Gristia, Denathius still doesn't know that his anti-Boneboy behavior has been exposed, thinking that everything is still under his control.
Sharlayan hopes that his confidence will last longer so that he can continue to make plans in the Shadow Realm.
But Denathius is not a fool after all, but a qualified chess player.
Sarlayan guessed that he should have noticed something was wrong through the sudden turmoil in the Ascension Bastion.
As the civil war in Maldraxxus continues and Bastion of Ascension is completely closed to the outside world, he is likely to send intelligence personnel to Ardenweald to collect intelligence.
Before leaving, Sarlayan gave the Night Palace a few tricks, which should be able to temporarily detain Denathrius' spies within a certain period of time and buy as much time as possible.
Considering the chaos in the Bastion of Ascension, Sharlayan did not have much time to waste in Maldraxxus, and he had to get rid of the most popular Academy of Creation as soon as possible.
As long as Gamal is defeated, Sindani, a loser, will definitely consciously re-align with her side, and the civil war in Maldraxxus will soon end.
Sharlayan agreed with Stradama's view of ending the civil strife in the Chamber of Blight as soon as possible, but he planned to do both while countering the rebellion.
"Shua~"
Taking out a large number of letters seized from the messenger lich from the space package, Sarlayan handed them to the personal maid serving in front of the bed, and she handed them to Marquis Stradama, who had limited mobility.
"What's this?"
Stradama curiously opened the covers of these letters, and when she saw the squiggles at the signature, her originally casual expression immediately became serious.
"Denasius? Could this be..."
Sarlayan nodded solemnly: "It's a coincidence that on the way from the Sharp Eyes Academy to the Withering Academy, we happened to see the messenger under Baron Stone from the Ritual Academy meeting with a Venthyr. .”
"After that, we followed the clues and found the secret laboratory arranged by Baron de la Mare outside the ritual courtyard."
"The messenger tried to persuade Baron de la Mare to change his position, but he failed and was caught by us waiting for him."
"Through mind control, we got a lot of evidence from him that Baron Stone and Denathrius secretly colluded."
"Hmph~"
Baron Stradama flipped through these letters casually, without even needing to read the contents carefully. It was enough to know that they were all solid evidence.
"Very well, this great gift comes at just the right time."
"Many of those who followed Yin Seer to rebel were hijacked without knowing the truth."
"I would like to see if these people would continue to support his rebellion if they knew that behind Yin Seer was Zoval, the great sinner in the Shadow Realm."
"Hathaway!"
The personal maid covered in black gauze calmly lowered her head and responded: "Yes, please give me your orders, Her Majesty the Queen."
'oh? '
Through the title of this maid, Sarlayan guessed that she should be a loyal confidant who served Stradama during her lifetime, and was recruited by Stradama to serve again after her death.
What surprised Sarlayan was not only her identity, but also her strength. This was a maid whose combat prowess reached the legendary level.
Only queens like Azshara and Stradama who once controlled the entire world could have enough confidence to treat legendary combat powers as maids.
You mean that? Ms. Waschi.
