Throughout Azeroth, Orfa's reputation is not prominent, and not many people know of his existence and abilities.
But in a small circle like Druyin, Orfa's reputation as the master of the Spinspeaker branch of Druyin is still very famous.
Since it was difficult to officially invite the night elves Dru Yin to participate in the research, Sharlayan simply changed his perspective and used Lao Xiong's connections to privately organize a group of Dru Yin to join the research project.
According to Danmaku, a large-scale research project will inevitably be split into many detailed groups.
If the people at the top do not take the initiative to step up and paint the pie, many grassroots researchers...commonly known as scientific research dogs, do not know or want to know what the large-scale projects they are involved in research are, and they will just focus on the part of the tasks they have received.
If Old Bear Olfa takes the lead in summoning Dru Yin, he must be the one who leads the research on Dru Yin. He does not need to tell the people below about the specific purpose of studying these detailed projects.
Just like a large jigsaw puzzle, no one knows what kind of pattern it will eventually form until the moment all the parts are assembled, except the designer who knows it in advance.
"The Drust, the Thornspeakers..."
Azshara tilted her head thoughtfully: "I seem to have heard of these two terms somewhere. Vashj, do you have any clues?"
"yes."
Vashj, who often served as Azshara's secretary, bowed her head respectfully and replied: "The Drust people existed long before the emergence of the Troll Empire, but they have always lived in a corner and lived a life without fighting against the world. Life."
"According to the research data of the Royal Academy of Magic, the Drust are a transitional race before the flesh-and-blood Vrykul degenerated into modern humans. In a sense, they can be said to be the ancestors of humans."
"As for the Thornspeaker, this is a brand new profession developed by the Drust people based on the ways of Druid and their special culture."
"As the Marquis of Deep Shadow said, Thornspeaker is a branch profession of Dru Yin. The more specific situation is not recorded in detail in the data."
'Aloof from the world? '
Sarlayan was a little surprised by Vashj's comments... or the Royal Magic Academy of the Dark Night Empire.
But then I thought about it. Gorak Tuor and his fallen Thornspeakers should not have officially had the right to speak for the ethnic group when the Dark Night Empire was active. The Drust people were still led by orthodox Thornspeakers like Orfa. By.
Although the Thornspeakers are different from the regular Dru Yin in that they study the power of balance between life and death, they are inevitably influenced by Dru Yin culture. They are more Buddhist in their behavior and do not like to interact with others. Fight.
Even if Gorak Tuor had usurped power at that time, facing the Dark Night Empire that was gradually entering its heyday, with Drust's small population, he could only keep his tail between his legs.
Think about it carefully, the Drust people who have experienced brutal internal fighting cannot even defeat one of the Arathi pioneers who came across the sea. Why should they compete with the powerful Dark Night Empire?
With Gorak Tur and his followers thrown into the Maw, the remaining Drust, whether in Azeroth or the Shadowlands, are determined to restore the original gentle ways of the Thornspeakers. Completely abandon the wrong ideas brought to the Drust people by the family of Gorak Toul.
Fortunately for the Shadow Realm, a large number of Drust souls still live and work peacefully in Ardenweald.
If the information provided by Olfa is correct, the Drust people still living in Azeroth have become a rare species, and whether they can continue the race is questionable.
Now that the matter has come to this, Old Bear Olfa has already thought about it.
If the race cannot be continued, at least the results of the Drust people's research over the years - the correct way of the Thornspeakers - must be passed down as proof that the Drust people once existed.
Olfa, the old bear, is old and he doesn’t know how many years he has left to live.
To Olfa's relief, he met an excellent successor worthy of entrusting the Thornspeaker legacy to him at the end of his life.
That is, Sarlayan Deep Shadow, who accidentally broke into Drustvar a few years ago.
Olfa has helped Sarlayan solve various troubles more than once. As long as Sarlayan makes reasonable requests, he will not refuse this time.
Azshara nodded thoughtfully: "Since you are confident, I will leave it to you to take full responsibility for inviting Dru Yin to join the research."
"I will send someone to secretly contact the decision-makers of Suramar and Quel'Thalas, and complete the transaction between the three parties as soon as possible to form a research team. Don't delay too long."
"correct."
Before the royal prelude ended, Azshara suddenly made a request.
"Help me give Yin Nasi a message. If she has free time after work, remember to come to Nazjatar to chat with me."
Azshara has been trapped under the sea for many years, and there are very few people who can communicate with her on an equal footing.
No matter how powerful the queen is, she has her own social needs in private, which cannot be satisfied by respectful and loyal subordinates like Vashj.
Sarlayan smiled and nodded to express his acceptance: "I will take your words truthfully, then...Queen Azshara, I will leave first."
"I wish you good health and may you realize your long-cherished wish as soon as possible."
Watching Sarlayan slowly and elegantly leave under the leadership of the maids, Azshara looked at his back with interest.
"Vaschi, what do you think of Yin Nasi's child?"
Vashchi's expression changed slightly: "What does Her Majesty the Queen mean...what do you think?"
Azshara glanced at Vashj slightly strangely: "Of course it's his ability, otherwise?"
"Well..." Vashchi was a little disappointed in her heart, but she replied calmly and thoughtfully: "Outstanding, even in the Dark Night Empire at its peak, there were very few heroes who could speak so eloquently despite the Queen's infinite charm. .”
"Ha~"
Azshara chuckled with unknown meaning: "Do you know who he reminds me of?"
Vashj: "Please forgive my ignorance."
Azshara didn't care about Vashj's "ignorance" and continued with a smile: "Yin Lidan Stormrage, that rebellious elf who dared to make demands in front of me."
"It's a pity that Yin Lidan exchanged his eyes for Sargeras' evil infusion. No news about him has been heard since the end of the War of the Ancients."
"I don't know if the legend of the golden boy of the night elves can be fulfilled in him. I'm quite looking forward to it."
'Legend...? '
Vashj understood what Azshara meant.
There has been a legend among the night elves that is true or false - the night elves with the golden boy will definitely do great things in the future.
Azshara is the first person to achieve the legendary Golden Boy. With this example, many people have placed a lot of expectations on Yin Lidan.
Unfortunately, at least so far, he has not reached the heights expected.
When Yin Lidan broke into the Eternal Palace to rescue Tyrande who was captured by Xavius, he had a chance encounter with Azshara.
Azshara was deeply impressed by his rebelliousness hidden under the surface of humility.
Tyrande is the scroll priest of the moon god Elune. Even Azshara cannot offend Elune too much. She had no intention of doing anything to Tyrande in the first place.
Out of a moment of bad taste, Azshara persuaded Tyrande to give up her faith in Elune and become her maid, which made Vashj jealous and hate Tyrande.
"Hey~"
Azshara, who had looked very interested before, suddenly seemed a little bored. She leaned lazily on the armrest of the throne and stared at the ceiling of the Eternal Palace in a daze.
"It's been ten thousand years. If this kid Sarlayan hadn't unexpectedly brought us some hope of restoring the form of the night elves, maybe I would have been driven crazy by this boundless loneliness and loneliness sooner or later."
As the undisputed number one beauty in Azeroth, Azshara's self-admiration is also planet-level. She has always been very proud of her beauty.
Except for Vashj and other personal maids, no one knew how unhappy Azshara was after being forcibly transformed into a naga, and this negative emotion had accumulated for ten thousand years.
Under the long-term mental torture of the ugly Naga form, Azshara, who loves beauty very much, can still maintain normal sanity as she is now, which is considered an amazing willpower.
A faint sigh came from the palace hall where only Azshara and Vashj were left: "I hope this large-scale research proposed by Sarlayan can really achieve the expected results, otherwise..."
