Regardless of whether or when Valeera will come, Sarlayan will still act according to the original plan.
Valeera is mainly responsible for intelligence work at home and abroad. Even if she rushes here in a hurry, it is unlikely that she will join the army in attacking the Molten Core. The frontal battlefield is not her strong suit as a thief.
Valeera will most likely team up with Onyxia and sneak into Blackrock Tower to look for clues about Nefarian's unusual behavior.
After braving the scorching sun and windy sand of the deserted land deep into the desert area, Sarlayan placed the container that imprisoned Sunderland on a large raised rock and took about five steps back.
Stellagosa understood and began to lift the seal Ragnaros had placed on the container.
The structure of the seal itself is not complicated...at least not difficult for the knowledgeable little star.
The runes wrapped around the surface of the Imprisoned Skull gradually emerged, and as Stellagosa's spell-breaking spell continued to operate, these rune chains disintegrated one by one.
However, this step alone did not wake up Sunderland's soul sleeping in the imprisoned skull.
In other words, in his current weak state, he simply cannot wake up on his own.
After completing this part of her work, Stellagosa silently withdrew dozens of meters.
She could already feel the changes in the wind direction and force around her. The strong wind blowing constantly over the endless desert was being artificially gathered together.
With the Imprisoned Skull as the center, strong winds gradually converged into a whirlpool, forming a small tornado.
Normally, a naturally formed tornado will pull in the surrounding sand and soil, and the entire tornado will turn into an ugly gray color.
But this was not the case with the tornado surrounding the Imprisoned Skull. Under Sarlayan's precise control, the tornado actively discharged impurities and still maintained a translucent blue color.
Drew Yin is not a shaman and cannot directly communicate with the wind element to obey his orders.
Sarlayan can only use the power of nature to forcibly gather the wind, and cannot manipulate the elements like a shaman.
Even so, for Sunderland, who is still sleeping, this simple and crude operation method is completely enough.
Sunderland's soul essence in the Imprisoned Skull began to instinctively absorb the surrounding pure wind elements.
Sarlayan never stopped using the wind-gathering spell, but instead of expanding further, the size of the tornado was even gradually shrinking.
Most of the free wind energy was sucked into the Skull of Imprisonment, and the container that had locked Sunderland for thousands of years began to shake gradually, and became more and more violent.
When the wind element absorbed by Sunderland reached a critical point, Stella Gosa, who was observing from a distance, clearly felt that the surrounding air flow was stagnant for a moment.
What followed was a violent strong wind, and the tornado that was originally limited to the vicinity of the Imprisoned Skull rapidly expanded and began to suck in a large amount of surrounding sand and dust.
"Stuck~"
As Sunderland's soul activity rapidly increased, mottled cracks appeared on the surface of the skull that bound him, and they were still expanding little by little.
"I am free!"
As this cheerful sound that seemed to be able to overshadow the roar of a thousand winds echoed over the desert, the wind elements in the entire desert seemed to be singing praises to the owner of the sound.
"Pa~"
At the center of the tornado, the Skull of Imprisonment finally could not withstand the squeezing force from the inside out, and simply collapsed into countless fragments of different sizes.
Driven by strong winds, these fragments flew around like bullets accelerated by electromagnetism.
Sarlayan had stopped casting spells because he knew it was no longer necessary.
With dragon scales appearing on the surface of his body, Sarlayan consciously stood in front of Stellagosa and blocked all the debris.
A humanoid wind element with a height of more than 10 meters stood where the Imprisoned Skull originally stood, looking up to the sky and letting out a hearty laugh.
Fortunately, Sharlayan notified Muradin in advance. Such an obvious movement was even felt by Loch Modan and the Searing Gorge next door.
Under Muradin's restraint, the bronzebeard dwarves in the Fortress of Torment and the frontline camp did not come out to join in the fun, thus avoiding unnecessary accidental injuries and misunderstandings.
After venting his frustration at being imprisoned for thousands of years, Windseeker Sunderland gradually calmed down.
Sunderland's upper body has a humanoid shape, with clear arms, torso and head, but there is no humanoid face inside his helmet, but a dazzling thunder light.
In the elemental theory passed down orally by shamans, wind and thunder are inseparable, and thunder and lightning are just one of the most violent manifestations of the wind element.
Dru Yin can also use the power of nature to control thunder and lightning, simulating the shaman's ability to summon wind and thunder to a certain extent.
The evaluation given by the barrage to Dru Yin's profession is very accurate - Tiger Balm.
The Talon Druyin is a reference to the Rogue, the Guardian Druyin is a reference to the Defense Warrior, the Balance Druyin is a fusion of the strengths of all families, with both natural and arcane skills, and the Restoration Druyin also has good healing abilities.
If someone can develop all four of Dru Yin's talents to the extreme, he will surely grow into a hexagonal warrior with no shortcomings.
Yes, it's you, Malfurion.
Malfurion's talent is not bad, it can even be said to be outstanding.
What makes Sarlayan strange is that he advanced to the legendary level as early as 10,000 years ago during the War of the Ancients. There is no reason for him to be stuck at the bottleneck of the legendary peak for 10,000 years, unable to advance.
There should be some secret information behind this matter that Sharlayan does not know yet, but Malfurion would not easily tell outsiders about such private matters.
'The bottleneck of breaking through the limits of mortals, can't even Malfurion take this final step? Or... there's another hidden secret? '
Sarlayan was distracted for only a moment. When Sunderland focused on him and Stellagosa, Sarlayan immediately came back to his senses.
Sunderland stood motionless for the moment, seeming to be examining the two strangers at his feet.
However, there were no eyes on his body, and Sarlayan couldn't guarantee whether his guess was correct. Maybe he was just distracted.
Seeing that Sarlayan and Stellagosa had no intention of explaining the situation, Sunderland took the initiative and asked: "Mortals, were you the ones who liberated me from Ragnaros' imprisonment?"
The other party took the initiative to ask, so Saraian would not let go of this opportunity to get closer.
"Yes, I am the Marquis of the High Elf Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, Senior Advisor to the Sun King, Sharlayan Deep Shadow, and this is my companion, Stellagosa."
"Not long ago, we happened to obtain two sealed containers when we attacked the Molten Core. After some investigation, we found out that the soul of the wind element prince Sunderland was imprisoned in these two containers."
Sunderland raised his hand and grabbed his helmet in confusion: "Molten Core? What is that?"
Windseeker Sunderland was sealed by Ragnaros thousands of years ago, and the War of Three Hammers that summoned Ragnaros' clone was more than 200 years ago. Sunderland didn't know that Molten Core was Very normal.
Sarlayan briefly introduced to Sunderland the great things Ragnaros had led the fire elements to do during the thousands of years he had been sealed.
"Ha!" After listening to Sarlayan's story, Sunderland laughed angrily: "Ragnaros, after thousands of years, is that guy still hell-bent on reviving the Dark Empire?"
"Okay! Old thing, let's just settle the old and new grudges together!"
The extremely angry Sunderland said with the sound of wind and thunder: "What he wants to do, I, Sunderland, will never let him succeed!"
"Mortals, I am willing to help you break through the Molten Core and make Ragnaros's plan of more than 200 years come to nothing, but..."
Sunderland's momentum dropped somewhat: "In my current defenseless state, I'm afraid I'm no match for Ragnaros, who holds the artifact in his hand."
"I need to regroup my followers and rebuild my weapons."
"I am solely responsible for gathering manpower. I will give you an artifact forging blueprint as a reward. I hope you can help me collect enough materials and find an excellent blacksmith to create my unique weapon - the Thunder Sword. "
Not everyone can get the blueprints for forging artifacts. Most of the existing artifacts in Azeroth are left over from ancient times. No contemporary mortal blacksmith has ever produced a serious artifact.
With the guidance of drawings, you can avoid many detours when creating artifacts, and you can even use them to draw parallels and advance your forging skills further.
The first thing Sarlayan thought of was Earth Guardian Azadas. This chief craftsman among the Titan Guardians has superb forging skills that far exceed those of ordinary people.
If he was not in a hurry, Sarlayan would prefer to hand over this blueprint to a top mortal blacksmith like Magni so that he could make further progress.
After all, you can't go to Azadas every time you need forging.
After all, Azadas is the Guardian of the Titans. Now he is in a stage of distress and cannot act at will. He has enough time to help Sarlayan build things.
But there will always be a day when Azadas returns to Ulduar, and the backlog of affairs that has accumulated for many years will weigh him down.
Instead of training a mortal blacksmith when the time comes, it is better to start preparing in advance.
With this blueprint, Sarlayan believed that with Magni's forging talent, he should soon get a chance to make a breakthrough.
"Okay, we've made an agreement."
Sarlayan solemnly stroked his chest and saluted Sunderland: "We will find the materials and blacksmith you need according to the requirements on the drawing to complete the forging task."
"I hope Lord Wind Chaser can keep his promise and help us kill Ragnaros's clone and destroy his bridgehead for invading the material world - the Molten Core."
