In terms of emotional issues, Daelin still has doubts about Sarlayan.
As Catherine said, after so many years of getting along with each other, Dailin has never seen Sarlayan's plan fail.
Even if something unexpected happens during the plan, he can quickly adjust and make the final outcome of the situation meet the expected goal.
If it weren't for Sarlayan's slightly confusing personal relationship issues, Daelin would have chosen to marry Jaina to Sarlayan without hesitation, even if there was a difference in age and race, further bringing Kul Tiras and Quill closer. relationship between Salas.
Anyway, Gianna has long made up her mind that she will not inherit the throne. As a royal princess, it is Gianna's responsibility to obtain benefits for the country's marriage.
On the way back to the palace, Dai Lin suddenly mentioned it.
"Let people start preparations after we get back. I want to visit the Marquis of Deep Shadow in a private capacity as soon as possible and have a good talk with Yin Nasi before she makes up her mind."
Catherine raised her eyebrows slightly: "I understand...do you think Yin Nasi will agree to our request?"
Dai Lin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's difficult, you also know that Yin Nasi is from the dragon tribe, and the dragon tribe's concept of mate selection is completely different from that of mortals."
"I'm worried she'll want both."
Catherine: "...Huh?"
…
Sailing and sailing across the seas, these words sound to give people a feeling of great pride.
But in reality, sailing on the ocean is pretty boring.
The scenery is the same in all directions. After the initial freshness is gone, it is easy for people to become aesthetically fatigued.
This was not the first time for Sharlayan and Valeela to go to sea. In the early years, they had taken a boat across the Endless Sea to the Tanaris Desert.
As the daughter of the sea that is said in Kul Tiras, not to mention Jaina, it is okay to say that she grew up on a ship.
On the other hand, Tina Gosa, this little guy was sailing on a boat for the first time. When she needed to cross the sea before, she would either use teleportation or fly with her own wings, which was much faster than taking a boat.
During the voyage from Quel'Thalas to Kul Tiras, Tinagosa was very energetic and curious about everything on the ship and at sea.
However, once the novelty wore off, the active little guy felt bored.
On the vast ocean, the area of movement could only be limited to one ship. As time passed, Tina Gosa became increasingly restless.
There was no stern sister accompanying her, only Sharlayan and Valeela, who had always doted on her, and her friend Jaina, who had grown up playing together. Tinagosa had almost no restraints on this journey, which was quite a bit. It feels like the sky is high and birds can fly.
I thought I could happily complete this unrestrained sea journey, but less than half a month later, Tinagosa was tired of the boring sea life and wanted to return to land and fly freely.
Without Stellagosa's intimidation, Sharlayan and Valeera could only calm down the little ones who were losing their temper.
Fortunately, there are a variety of card games developed by Sarlayan, which finally gave Tina some more entertainment during the boring voyage.
While Jaina was playing Hearthstone card battle with Tinagosa, there was suddenly some commotion on the deck outside.
Among the four people present, Sarlayan had the best hearing. He was the first to hear the noise coming from outside through the doors and windows with good sound insulation.
"It seems that some unexpected incident occurred. You guys play for now while I go outside to take a look."
This card game was coming to an end, and under the pressure of Jaina, who was calculating every step, Tinagosa's defeat was basically a foregone conclusion.
"Pa~"
Under Jaina's speechless gaze, Tina threw away the hearthstone card in her hand, and skillfully climbed onto Sarlayan's shoulders with her flexible short legs.
"I'm going too! Finally there's something new, I definitely can't miss it."
Sarlayan rubbed the little guy's head helplessly: "Okay, but you must stay with me and don't cause trouble to the sailors."
"I know! Let's go!"
…
With the Tide Sage leading the way, the fleet did not encounter any big waves during the previous 20 days of sailing. It can be said that the journey was smooth.
According to the pilot's expectations, the fleet will arrive at its destination in up to three days, ending this boring sea voyage.
There is a saying that goes by the wayside, and Sarlayan thinks this sentence makes sense.
Seeing that we were about to reach our destination, something went wrong in the last part of the journey.
When Sharlayan carried Tina Gosa out to the deck, he immediately saw the large area of dark rain clouds in front of the channel.
"what happened?"
When he came to the bow of the ship and looked up into the distance, Sarlayan doubtfully asked Donari and Lord Stormsong who were holding telescopes: "Isn't there a tide sage who leads the way? Why are we still encountering a storm?"
Putting down the telescope in his hand, Lord Stormsong frowned and said, "This storm is not a natural formation. Someone is doing something secretly."
"I also confirmed this morning that there should be no storm clouds ahead of the route."
"The formation and development of this storm were very sudden and did not conform to the laws of nature at all."
Sarlayan's expression became serious: "You mean...someone is controlling the storm? Who can have such power? He can actually control the air of the sea...etc."
Sarlayan suddenly remembered something and lowered his head in thought for a moment.
'Could it be...'
Changing the celestial phenomena is no joke. Even Malfurion, who has long trained Dru Yin to the full level of all elements, can only change the weather in a small area to achieve the desired effect without external help. The effect of Wind Calling Thunder.
Malfurion's strength is undoubtedly at the pinnacle of mortals, and even higher is demigod.
Coincidentally, Sharlayan happens to know that there is a demigod holding a powerful artifact who can do this, but if it is really her...
'Does this mean that the Naga army attacking Storm Bay did receive Azshara's instructions? '
Sarlayan believed that his parents would not jump to conclusions based on their words. Even if the other party was Azshara, the eternal queen of the Dark Night Empire, the old pair of Yin Nasi and Julian would not be deceived so easily.
'Is there something hidden in it? '
In any case, the fleet with a mission must move through this storm cloud area as soon as possible.
Although he failed to prevent the formation of the storm, the Tide Sage was not a vegetarian after all.
The tide sages on several ships skillfully worked together to build magic arrays, and several aqua blue magic barriers firmly protected the fleet ships.
Lord Stormsong changed from his usual gentle demeanor and stared sharply at the storm clouds that were about to come into contact with the fleet.
"Come in! All crew members and sailors obey my instructions!"
Donari looked at Sarlayan with questioning eyes, and only temporarily handed over the command to Lord Stormsong after receiving permission.
"boom!"
Using the flagship with the strongest defense as an arrow, the dragon fleet crashed into the storm.
Strong winds and heavy rain roared in, and the turbulent waves knocked several ships up and down.
Under the protection of the Tide Sage's spell, neither storm nor big waves can overturn the fleet's ships, but the real test has just begun.
Lord Stormsong controlled the ocean currents to stabilize the ship while monitoring underwater movements through abnormal wave fluctuations around him.
When the fleet stumbled to the middle of the storm group, Lord Stormsong's expression suddenly changed.
"Be alert! There are a large number of creatures underwater approaching at high speed!"
"Sure enough, it's still here."
Thalayan was not surprised by Lord Stormsong's forewarning
Azshara made such a big noise, obviously not just to let Sharlayan and others get some wind and rain, but there must be some back-up plan.
"Wow!"
Amid the storms and waves, the sound of Naga emerging from the water is hard to detect.
Sarlayan, who had been monitoring the sea, could clearly see hundreds of heads poking out from the water, and more Nagas lurking under the water and continuing to approach below the fleet, obviously planning to use the Naga's customary ship-cutting technique. .
But this time, their attempt failed.
The pure water barrier jointly deployed by the tide sages is very strong, and the underwater part is the top priority of defense.
Hundreds of Nagas were beating around the barrier, but they were still unable to break a gap in the barrier.
"Get out of the way! I'll do it!"
A female Naga who held both a golden war bow and a staff stood out from the crowd.
The two hands holding the staff cast spells to deenchant the arrow, and the other two hands held the bow and pulled the string, and shot a highly compressed enchanted water arrow underwater.
The rapidly rotating water arrow quickly came into contact with the barrier. Two forces of the same origin but different qualities collided fiercely. Lord Stormsong, who was maintaining the barrier, immediately sensed the threat from the water.
"Marquis of Deep Shadow! There is a difficult enemy underwater. If we let him continue to attack, our barrier will be breached sooner or later."
Sarlayan nodded knowingly and pulled off the coat he was wearing, revealing the black swimsuit underneath.
The Dragon Legion soldiers, including Sarlayan, had already put on their equipment in order to deal with such emergencies that might arise at any time.
"Qiang!"
Pulling out his two swords from behind, Sarlayan shouted loudly and asked: "Dragon Legion! The enemy is so close, are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid!"
"Crush them!"
"very good!"
Sarlayan, who was covered with rain, shouted at the top of his lungs to Donari: "Captain of the Lake Army! You stay on the ship with half of your people to continue to stabilize the fleet. The others, follow me!"
"Roar!"
