Even before the War of the Ancients began, Azshara had heard about the rebellious dragon Yinlainastrasza, but the two sides had never officially met.
At that time, Yin Nasi left an impression in her mind as "the demon king of the dragon clan".
This title followed Yin Nasi for a long time, and it was not until she unexpectedly married Julian Deep Shadow that it gradually came to an end.
When getting along with Yin Nasi in recent years, Azshara found that the former "Devil King" was very different from the image he imagined.
Compared with the title given by the Dragon Clan, Yin Nasi is now more like a good wife and mother, but her personality is still a bit weird.
Since following Zin Azshara into the sea, apart from the maids and subordinates like Vashj who have followed her for many years, there are not many old acquaintances left who can still keep in touch with Azshara.
It is rare to meet someone who can maintain a normal mind and communicate with her normally. Azshara especially cherishes the friendship with Yin Nasi.
In Sarlayan's view, his mother is what Danmaku calls a social terror.
Don’t get me wrong, the social phobia mentioned here is not social phobia, but social terror, which is a higher level than social phobia.
Including the weird-tempered Tyrande, Yinasi always seems to be able to easily make friends among various races in Azeroth, and Azshara is one of them.
Due to Enzos' plot, Yin Nasi's soul fell into a long sleep.
When she woke up, she was surprised to find that her son had grown up and had gradually grown into a behind-the-scenes hero that she was extremely proud of.
Yin Nasi is a person who likes to make friends, and she often talks about her precious son in daily chats with Azshara.
Over time, Azshara inevitably became curious about the omnipotent young hero Yinnas said, and specifically ordered Vashj to conduct an investigation into Sarlayan.
Unfortunately, many of the things Sharlayan has done over the years involve secrecy. In most cases, he will act as low-key as possible, especially important events related to the Titan Guardians.
Vashj found out that Sarlayan had participated in the Battle of Grim Batol, and that he seemed to have left footprints all over the world.
But what exactly Sarlayan did is mostly shrouded in mystery. The limited things that can be found can already show that he has great abilities.
Among them was the Battle of Alterac, where Sarlayan hid behind the scenes and manipulated the situation to turn the situation upside down. This was also one of the things he did most brilliantly on the surface.
In Azshara's view, although Yin Nasi went too far in bragging about her son, a person worthy of such bragging should have two brushes.
Azshara can't guarantee things on land. At least in the sea, Naga's ability to collect intelligence is unparalleled.
After learning that Sharlayan set off from Quel'Thalas to Kalimdor in a high-speed battleship, Azshara, who had some plans in mind, specifically asked Vashj to intercept the fleet led by Sharlayan in the middle of the Endless Sea.
No matter how exaggerated Yin Nasi boasted, Azshara would not completely believe her lavish praise that day.
With the idea of testing Sharlayan's abilities, Azshara set two tests for him.
The examiner for the first test was Vashj himself.
Azshara wouldn't have killed him if Sharlayan hadn't been able to reverse the situation in time during the raid led by Vashj, but she wouldn't have needed Sharlayan for her secret plans.
Unexpected, but reasonable.
Sharlayan easily passed the test led by Vashj, and relied on the help of his companions to quickly solve the mystery of the liuinbei in his busy schedule, and officially received the invitation from Azshara herself.
It was only at this time that the arrogant Queen Azshara really began to pay attention to the child of her best friend Yin Nasi, and showed rare expectations for his arrival, which also caused Vashj's misunderstanding.
Even though he had repeatedly raised his evaluation of Sharlayan, Azshara's emotional management was still a little out of control when he personally asked about the expectations he had buried deep in his heart for many years.
As Sharlayan said, during these long ten thousand years, Azshara has long seen En'zoth's plot clearly.
The Thousand Bearded Demon was very dissatisfied with the equality agreement it had signed with Azshara out of desperation. It did not think Azshara was any better than Deathwing and Xavius.
For a long time, En'Zoth has been secretly placing informants and spies in Nazjatar, trying to change the situation in which Azshara and himself are equals.
As the queen who has controlled the Dark Night Empire for many years, Azshara is no stranger to conspiracies and struggles under the table.
Azshara's several palace coups attempted by En'zoth were easily resolved.
En'zoth was dissatisfied with the covenant, and so was Azshara.
At the beginning, En'zoth swore to her to describe the bright prospect of reviving the Dark Empire. At that time, Azshara was eager to save her people who were sinking into the sea, so she signed an agreement with En'zoth half-heartedly.
The two parties agreed to work together to establish a new dark empire led by Azshara.
Thousands of years have passed, and En'Zoth still failed to fulfill the promise it made. Not only did it not let Azshara see any sign of the Dark Empire's revival, it even reached out to her palace to try to stage a coup.
If it weren't for the fact that Naga's reputation in Azeroth was already notorious, Azshara would have wanted to completely break up with Ent'Zoth and take her people back to the land where they should live.
It's a pity that Azshara, who lacks confidence, can't do it.
After Enzos's transformation, although Nagas are called amphibious creatures, they cannot live away from the water for a long time and are destined to only wander around the coastline.
After the Earth Shattered, the existing islands and continents of Azeroth basically all had their own owners. It was not easy to occupy a land large enough to accommodate all Nagas out of thin air.
Even excluding the low-level Nagas who are used as cannon fodder, there are more than 7 million core Naga members surrounding Azshara alone.
Doesn’t sound like much? Just make a comparison and you will know.
In its heyday, Suramar had a population of more than 6 million. This was already the limit that the six major night elf cities could accommodate, except for the capital Zin-Ashari.
Despite the fact that Suramar has been sealing off the city with a barrier for thousands of years, Elisande has actually arranged for his subordinates to go out to the Great Suramar area and even Azsuna to collect resources, but they only restrict unauthorized people from entering and leaving the barrier at will. boundary.
There were once nearly 10 million people living in the entire Sin Asari area, but the total population in the core urban area was only about 4 million.
Due to En'zoth's long-term and continuous solicitation and temptation, the total number of high-level Nagas who are still loyal to Azshara has hardly increased in these ten thousand years.
If you include the large number of low-level cannon fodder produced regularly by incubators, the total population of the Naga clan is very considerable, and it will exceed 30 million at least.
What is the concept of 30 million?
Under the protection of the Sunwell, Yongsong Forest has good weather and abundant resources, but Quel'Thalas as a whole only has a population of just over 20 million, which is already ranked in the middle reaches among the kingdoms in the Eastern Continent.
The largest population in the Eastern Kingdom is undoubtedly the Kingdom of Lordaeron. Counting the black population who have not registered as household members, there should be about 50 million people.
Being able to feed so many people is largely due to Lordaeron's vast land area and fertile land.
Can Azeroth today still find a land that can support more than 30 million people?
The answer is of course no, unless Azshara intends to seize territory from other countries by force.
So the question comes back again. If you want to completely break away from the shackles of Enzos, Azshara needs to meet two major conditions.
The first is to solve the tribe's habit of living near the water. It is best to return to the original night elf form.
The second is to open up a land where her people can live and work in peace and contentment, and preferably a paradise that will not be attacked by other forces in a short period of time.
After years of planning and preparation, Azshara has some confidence in condition two.
Only in terms of Naga's form transformation, Azshara has never been able to think of a safe way.
After all, En'Zoth is the ancient god. Transforming the body is the strength of the ancient gods. Otherwise, there would be no such weird thing as the Curse of Flesh, which can even corrode the creations of Titans.
It is easy for a night elf to become a naga, but it is extremely difficult to change back to the original night elf form.
This question has troubled Azshara for thousands of years. She did not expect that one day she would hear relevant questions from an outsider who had nothing to do with Naga, and she was unable to manage her emotions and expressions for a while.
Vashj was very surprised by the queen's gaffe. With her knowledge of Azshara, Vashj knew that Sharlayan's question should hit the target, and hit the point that Azshara was most worried about.
At this time, Azshara no longer cared about maintaining a friendly demeanor, and stared directly at Sharlayan with a compelling aura.
"Since you dare to speak out and clarify the problem... don't tell me that you haven't prepared a corresponding plan."
"Let's talk about it. I want to see how you want to solve the eternal problem of mutual transformation between Naga and Night Elf."
