Sharlayan and Stellagosa were surprised by the big news they overheard, and the change in Nefarian's expression moved their hearts.
They looked at each other silently, and when Nefarian waved away Bartosz and stood up to leave, the two of them hurriedly slowed down and followed quietly.
After all, he was in his own lair, and Nefarian didn't walk very fast on his way to the location of the illusion.
In order to avoid being discovered by following too closely, Sharlayan and Stellagosa could only suppress their inner anxiety and move forward slowly and slowly following Nefarian's rhythm.
Taking this opportunity, the two used their soul link to communicate.
Stellagosa: "If this black dragon named Baltos is not deliberately releasing smoke bombs, then Deathwing's return will be at least 3-5 years later?"
Sarlayan was not surprised by this.
Having watched Azadas smelting the source ore with his own eyes, he knew very well how difficult it was to smelt this kind of ore.
Even if it is just a poor version of the imitation elementium bar without arcane, it is not easy to smelt armor that can cover Deathwing's whole body.
Moreover, after smelting and forging, the goblin craftsmen still have to install and fix them piece by piece on the huge Deathwing, which is bound to be another long and labor-intensive project.
Before hearing the Black Dragon's admission, Sarlayan was really worried that Deathwing would return earlier than usual, but now he can finally feel at ease.
But finding out when Deathwing will return is just one of the tasks Sharlayan entrusted to Valeera and Onyxia.
Another task is to find out what Nefarian, who is hiding behind the scenes to promote the war in the Molten Core, wants to do.
That’s right, push.
Sarlayan didn't notice at first, but when the coalition forces defeated the Fire Lord in the Molten Core and completely drove the Fire Lord's forces out of Azeroth, the Blackstone Orcs also happened to choose to withdraw.
In Daglan's view, this was because the Blackstone Orcs realized that the Dark Iron Dwarves had just won a victory, and they did not want to continue to waste time with the high-morale Dark Iron Dwarves at this time.
But in Sarlayan's opinion, it means something else.
Why did the Blackrock Orcs, who had not yet shown their clear defeat, suddenly retreat?
The answer is actually very simple. This is the instruction of the black dragon...or Nefarian.
Thinking from another angle, Sharlayan discovered something fishy in the Blackstone Orcs' invasion.
At first, the sudden invasion of the Blackstone Orcs shocked Daglan, but in fact, this invasion helped Daglan, who was deliberately causing trouble secretly, and attracted the attention of the Black Iron Councilors who were loyal to the fire element and hated the black dragon force. passed.
It can be clearly seen from the review afterwards that the Blackstone Orcs' offensive was very weak, and it seemed that they had no intention of achieving any results at all.
After the Dark Iron Dwarves overturned the enslavement of the fire element, the Blackstone Orcs made the right choice to withdraw.
Sharlayan boldly guessed that this was done intentionally by Nefarian, in order to allow Daglan's faction to concentrate on driving the fire element out of Azeroth.
As for what his purpose is, Sarlayan is not sure yet due to lack of evidence.
Perhaps because he was tired of the entanglement with the fire element in Blackrock Tower, he took advantage of the ambition of the new king of the Dark Iron, Dagran Thaurissan, who was unwilling to be a slave, and gave him some support without any trace, and once and for all eliminated the annoying fire element. Send away.
Of course, it could also be the internal strife within the En'Zoth faction, with Deathwing himself making the decision behind the scenes, and Nefarian being just the executor.
Onyxia did not agree with the above two possibilities, but she did not express her guess. Instead, she planned to sneak into the Blackwing Lair to investigate before drawing an accurate conclusion.
Sharlayan and Stellagosa were both a little numb as they followed Nefarian slowly forward.
There are not many adult black dragons in Blackwing Lair. At least at this stage, including Bartosz and Nefarian, they only saw 6 of them.
However, there are at least hundreds of young dragons in this black dragon lair that was transformed from the Black Stone Tower, as well as a larger number of dragon beasts and dragon people.
This does not include Nefarian’s semi-finished experimental subjects, such as the colorful two-headed dragon Chromaggus that the barrage repeatedly mentioned.
Due to the lazy use of the lava dog model in the game, Chromaggus was nicknamed the two-headed dog by the barrage.
But in fact, this guy is a suture monster pieced together from the corpses of five-color dragons, and it is still considered a dragon creature.
If an entire elite army can be summoned to attack the Black Wing Lair, Sarlayan is confident that he can break through the black dragon lair as long as someone blocks Nefarian and the adult black dragons.
However, this major premise is not so easy to achieve.
The weak Sunderland and Onyxia cooperate, and it is not a big problem to hold back Nefarian.
But what about the other five...and maybe even more adult black dragons?
No matter how much he paddles and grows, an adult black dragon will always be a demigod goalkeeper and cannot be easily hurt by mortals.
It was precisely with this in mind that Sarlayan did not leave Quel'Thalas' elite army behind. He did not intend to have a head-on conflict with Nefarian at this time.
Even if we really want to fight, we have to wait until Ebisian completes the preparations, and then go out with the establishment black dragons.
Bite the bullet and followed Nefarian, bypassing the respectfully saluting draconians, dragon beasts and young dragons, Sarlayan and Stellagosa gradually came to an inner hall that had been severely damaged, with dragon beasts scattered everywhere. The body still lay in the hall below.
"Um……"
Nefarian held his chin with one hand with interest, and the erect dragon boy looked around the hall.
"You didn't leave any traces? It's interesting. It seems that I underestimated you. So...where will you hide in such a short period of time?"
"winter!"
Nefarian gently tapped the ground with the gorgeous fiery red staff in his hand, and a round of dark red ripples quickly spread out with him as the center.
"not good!"
Stellagosa's expression suddenly changed, and she reminded in the soul link channel with a very fast speaking speed: "This is a detection spell specifically for invisibility and stealth. Find a blind spot to hide immediately! I am going to remove the invisibility spell. !”
Sarlayan didn't have time to think, and almost instinctively followed Stellagosa's instructions to look up and look around.
Fortunately, there is a blind spot not far away with walls on three sides.
Before the detection ripples released by Nefarian arrived, Sarlayan transformed into the form of a black panther with soft flesh pads as quickly as possible, picked up Stellagosa's collar, and rushed into the corner with a single stride.
The moment before the ripples swept over the two of them, Stellagosa immediately canceled the invisibility spell, and finally did not trigger the alarm setting to detect the spell.
Coincidentally, because they were close enough, Valeera and Onyxia, who were hiding not far away, also heard Little Star's urgent prompt in the soul link channel.
The two of them also followed suit and hid in a corner that blocked Nefarian's sight and released stealth and shadow possession.
"Um?"
The spell scan ended, and Nefarian, who found nothing, opened his eyes with a look of confusion on his face.
"Did you escape? Whatever, you are lucky."
Lifting the crimson staff again, Nefarian turned around and walked away without any regret, as if the invasion was just a painless farce to him.
Nervously watching Nefarian's back gradually go away, they watched him transform into a dragon form and fly into the sky. The four people who were still staying in two different locations in the hall breathed a sigh of relief at the same time in the soul link channel.
"Huh~"
Listening to the four overlapping exhalations, Sarlayan asked speechlessly in the soul link channel: "So, Valeela and Oni, where are you hiding?"
"This way~"
When Sarlayan poked his head out from the corner, he happened to see a small piece of dark gray cloth thrown out from a corner not far from him, followed by Valeera's embarrassment in the soul link channel. shouted angrily.
"Why are you tearing my lining off! Can't you do your own?!"
Onyxia replied with a shameless smile: "Of course not. The armor on my body is essentially a transformation of my scales. You can't let me tear off my own scales, right?"
"you……"
Although Valeera was a little annoyed, Onyxia's words did make sense, and she could only sulky in displeasure.
"When you go back, you have to pay me a piece of clothing!"
"Oops~ It's a small problem."
Onyxia smiled playfully and hugged Valeera's shoulders to comfort her: "I can accompany you to the shopping mall for a whole day, but..."
Onyxia, who was smiling just a second ago, suddenly became serious: "Before that, we must complete this investigation mission and find out Nefarian's true purpose."
