Azshara was in power 10,000 years ago. Since the Dark Night Empire controlled the Well of Eternity, the magic technology at that time was already highly developed.
If we compare it with the Republic of Darkness, which inherited most of the legacy of the Dark Night Empire, the development of the night elves' magical technology during these ten thousand years is undoubtedly reversing the course of history.
On the contrary, the high elves who traveled to the Eastern Kingdom inherited the magic technology from the Dark Night Empire to a certain extent.
Unfortunately, in the following thousands of years, Quel'Thalas failed to innovate on a large scale. Instead, it lost a lot of precious technical data during the eastward journey, and the overall development still showed a backward trend.
During Azshara's reign, the Dark Night Empire's footprints spread all over Azeroth. Of course, they also explored many Titan ruins and obtained a lot of important ancient information by interpreting the documents in the ruins.
Sharlayan was not surprised that Azshara knew the concept of the Titan Star Soul, but she probably only knew the superficial meaning and did not fully understand the Pantheon's expectations for Azeroth.
"I can't tell you the details."
Sarlayan explained simply: "According to the information I obtained from Great Guardian Laden, if Azeroth's star soul matures smoothly, she will become the most powerful Titan in the history of the physical universe."
"Even more than the fallen Titan Sargeras who betrayed the Pantheon."
Azshara was stunned for a moment, and then she showed a look of surprise: "So that's the case, no wonder Sargeras wants to sneak into Azeroth even if he hides his identity."
"With the strength he showed me at that time, it is not difficult to blow up the entire planet with one sword."
Azshara analyzed calmly: "According to what he said, the reason why he did not attack Azeroth was to show me his sincerity in forming an alliance."
"Ha~"
Ten thousand years have passed, and Azshara has long since recovered from Sargeras's rhetoric. She sneered and said sarcastically: "Now it seems that he actually hopes to use evil energy to corrupt the star soul of Azeroth and let this Will the strongest Titan in the future become his right-hand man to conquer the universe?"
Sharlayan smiled and clapped: "I'm glad you finally got rid of Sargeras's confusion."
"As the Queen said, other powerful leaders, including Sargeras, the Ancient Gods, and Zoval, all covet the powerful potential contained in the Azeroth Star Soul."
"Before the destruction of the Pantheon, the Titans teamed up to create a strong barrier, preventing powerful beings above a certain level from entering Azeroth in their true form."
"This important planetary barrier has bought precious time for the development of Azeroth's native civilization, and prevented Sargeras and the Void Lord behind the Old Gods from directly touching Azeroth."
"In that ancient battle, even though Archimonde, Sargeras' right-hand man, personally participated in the battle, the united Guardians of Azeroth still tenaciously pushed back the Burning Legion."
"The victory in this war shows one thing. As long as a being of Sargeras' level cannot take action personally, no matter how heavy the losses are, we are not without the power to fight against the minions of the Burning Legion and the Ancient God. "
"The premise is that...the defenders of Azeroth can unite as one, temporarily put aside their conflicts, and work together to protect their homeland during the war."
Azshara is also a veteran in the political arena. She was not easily aroused by Sarlayan's inspiring words, but looked at Sarlayan's talk with interest.
"Salayan Deep Shadow... it's too troublesome to pronounce the full name, so I'll just call you Sharlayan."
Sharlayan is right about this. If calculated by seniority, Azshara, who is a good friend of his mother Yinasi, is indeed his elder, so it is not surprising to call him by his first name.
Azshara said with a smile: "Salay'an, actually you don't have to say so much."
"Although we haven't reached the point of completely breaking with En'Zoth yet, that tentacle monster can't expect us to hold back Azeroth in the upcoming invasion of the Burning Legion."
"I can't guarantee anything else. After all, we can't go too far yet."
"If you start a war with the Burning Legion at sea, the sea will never give the Burning Legion any help. Instead, my Naga will help you stop the troublemakers that Enzos may send."
This was what Sarlayan was waiting for.
Once the Burning Legion invades on a large scale, the defenders of Azeroth will inevitably mobilize all resources to prepare.
If the ancient god forces headed by Naga jump out to cause trouble at this time, Azeroth, which is attacked from both sides, is likely to be left in a straitened state, which is obviously what Sharlayan does not want to see.
Perhaps one day in the future, Naga can get rid of Enzos's control and become an independent force again.
But that's at least not now.
Before all the preparations were made, Azshara did not have enough confidence to fall out with En'zoth, so she could only continue to make concessions with him.
As long as Azshara's promise can be obtained, at least there will be no need to worry about Naga's backstabbing on the sea in the future, and all the energy can be focused on the Burning Legion.
As for when Naga will be able to break away from Enzos's control, Sarlayan is not sure at the moment. It depends on when scholars in the Naga Empire can truly study the secret of dual-form transformation.
"Oh, right."
As the discussion with Sharlayan came to an end, Azshara suddenly remembered something.
"Our scholars may need some help regarding the study of dual-form transformation."
Sharlayan: "I would like to hear the details."
"It's very simple." Azshara raised her slender green fingers and pointed at the palace ceiling: "In order to speed up the progress, I hope that this research can get the full assistance of Quel'Thalas and Suramar."
Azshara did not mention the name of the Dark Night Republic at all. On the one hand, it was out of mutual opposition and she knew that the Dark Night Republic would not be able to lend a helping hand to the Naga Empire.
On the other hand, it was also because Azshara knew the level of magic technology in the Dark Night Republic and did not expect them to contribute anything in the research.
But it has to be said that Azshara's idea is wrong.
If it is other research related to arcana, the night elves are indeed of no use. Only when it comes to in-depth research on the power of life, Dru Yin, who specializes in this field, can give many constructive suggestions.
But it was just as Azshara worried.
If the night elves knew that this research was to transform Naga back into the night elf form, they would definitely not provide any help, and they might even obstruct it in every possible way.
The Republic of Dark Night has inherited most of the legacy of the Dark Night Empire. If the Dark Night Empire is restored, how will these "usurpers" deal with themselves?
The grievances between Azshara, Tyrande, Malfurion and others were too complicated, and Sharlayan did not want to get involved.
But this research on the transformation of Naga's dual forms is probably inseparable from Drew Yin's help.
"Well... let's do this."
Sarlayan lowered his head and thought for a while and then came up with a compromise plan: "There should be no problem in Quel'Thalas. As long as Her Majesty the Queen recognizes the legitimacy of the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas as promised, I can guarantee that the Sun King will definitely Ordered full assistance."
"I can't make the decision without permission as far as Suramar is concerned, but Elisande, who is torn between the Highborne and the Night Elves, will at least refuse decisively."
"As long as Suramar can benefit from this joint research project, I believe she will eventually nod and agree to provide assistance."
"As for Dru Yin... I plan to ask my teacher to come out, and he will take the lead in inviting the night elf Dru Yin to join the research."
"In order to conceal the true purpose, we will not tell them the final purpose of this research in detail. By the time they come to their senses and realize the truth, everything will have been settled."
Regarding the legitimacy of the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, Thalayan had already talked to Azshara before.
Surprisingly, Azshara is very open-minded in this regard.
It has been 10,000 years since the disintegration of the Dark Night Empire. Quel'Thalas is a new country established by Dath'Remar Sunstrider after that, and it has continued the traditions and culture of the Dark Night Empire to a certain extent.
Today, Azshara is unable to reorganize all the elven branch races and countries.
In this case, she simply generously delegated power and recognized the independence of countries and city-states, including Quel'Thalas and Suramar, in exchange for their help.
"your teacher?"
Ignoring the possible requests from Quel'Thalas and Suramar, Azshara was most concerned about Dru'in mentioned by Sharlayan.
"Who is your teacher, and why do you think he can summon Dru Yin to assist in research?"
Sarlayan smiled confidently: "My teacher is a Drust. His name is Orfa, known as the Great Thornspeaker. He is the master of the Drust branch of professional Thornspeaker. Even the Great Virtue Luyin Malfurion also respects him very much."
