The Windrunner family is a long-established noble in the southern part of Eversong Forest. Because of their similar stances, and taking advantage of the relationship between Sarlayan and Lyras, the Windrunner family has become closer and closer to the Shadow family, which has risen rapidly in recent years.
Before Vereesa left Eversong Forest and transferred to Northrend, she was responsible for all the affairs of the Windrunner family.
Vereesa did a good job in this regard. The Windrunner family's expansion in those years was very obvious, laying a solid foundation for their continued upward momentum today.
Since Vereesa left for military duties, the Windrunner family affairs have been handed over to Sylvanas and Lyras.
Due to her busy schedule, Sylvanas had little time to deal with family chores, and Lyras, who was striving to improve himself, was also busy all day long.
Therefore, in the past year or two, the development of the Windrunner family's territorial affairs has begun to stagnate, and many members of the Windrunner family miss the years when Vereesa was still there.
In fact, if Vereesa has any special abilities in territorial management, it doesn't matter.
She had only one trick - to firmly follow the Shenying family, which was rapidly getting rich. Even if she couldn't eat meat, she could still get a bowl of soup.
Facts have proved that Vereesa's decision was correct.
Under the advice of a large number of barrage netizens, although Sarlayan did not directly intervene in the detailed process of territorial affairs, most emerging industries were proposed by him, and then the following capable officials were responsible for refinement and improvement.
For the modern society where Danmu is located, Azeroth today is still a relatively primitive feudal society. They have many ways to make Sarlayan's territory make money safely, and oil, known as black gold, is just one of them. It’s just an industrial chain.
Taking advantage of the rapid rise of the Deep Shadow Family, Vereesa, who bet on the right thing, also took the opportunity to gain a lot of profits.
In contrast, Sylvanas, who is more independent, and Lylas, who has a high rebellious self-improvement mentality, will not follow the bet without hesitation like her.
Sarlayan didn't care about this. When he got rich, it was a matter of friendship to help his friends. If others didn't want to keep up, there was no need to take the initiative to stick to the cold butt. Anyway, the one who suffered in the end was definitely not the Deep Shadow family. .
Sarlayan and Vereesa's destination, Sholazar Basin, is located between Icecrown Glacier and Borean Tundra. It was once one of the experimental greenhouses of Freya, the Keeper of Life.
The ecological environment and distribution of flora and fauna in Sholazar Basin and Un'Goro Crater are very different from other areas in Azeroth.
Although they were in the icy and snowy Northrend continent, the climate in the Sholazar Basin was very hot. Looking down from a high altitude, what they saw before their eyes was a tropical rainforest scene.
The shortest route from Dragonblight to Sholazar Basin must pass through Wintergrasp, which is hidden deep between the two places.
The titan creations produced by the Nalak'sha engine are still being secretly transported from Pandaria to Northrend by the ancestor turtles in a steady stream, and are stored in Wintergrasp through the inaccessible underground tunnels of Dragonblight and Crystalsong Forest.
As a senior officer in Quel'Thalas, a core member of the Windrunner family, and one who has been stationed nearby in Northrend for a long time, Vereesa has some knowledge of Sharlayan's long-term strategic plan for the Storm Peaks.
"Wintergrasp Lake..."
Looking at the quiet and uninhabited frozen lake below, Vereesa curled her lips and complained: "You have done a good job in keeping secrets. Looking down from a high altitude, you can't see anything of value in the Wintergrasp area. thing."
"Ha~" Sarlayan chuckled and said: "Wintergrasp base is right under Loken's nose. You can't expose the secrets here to him without concealing it. I'm afraid that guy will become hysterical in a minute. The entire army marched on Wintergrasp Lake."
The sight of Wintergrasp that Vereesa saw now was disguised by the magisters. Unless they landed in Wintergrasp in person to check it out, this illusion would not be easy to break.
On the surface, Wintergrasp Lake is peaceful, with permanently frozen ice and rocky areas everywhere. Occasionally, you can see some twisted frozen trees growing alone on the snow, which seem to have lost their breath of life.
Sarlayan and Vereesa were just passing by this time and had no intention of descending from high altitude into Wintergrasp.
Moreover, the illusion that the magisters jointly built - the integrated protective barrier is not that easy to break through.
If someone intends to enter from above Wintergrasp Lake, they will be forcibly teleported to a random location around them before passing through the illusion layer. Only those with special permission can successfully enter the barrier.
When insiders like Sarlayan need to go to Wintergrasp, they usually start from the underground tunnel connecting New Shandalar City and Wintergrasp.
Ever since the high elves assisted the Nerub Kingdom in repelling the Scourge, the Nerub buggers, who had long since parted ways with the ancient gods, realized the importance of allies and fell to Quel'Thalas without hesitation.
In the past, digging underground tunnels required the use of shady earth spirits. With the full assistance of the nerubians who are good at digging holes, the underground from New Shandalar City to Wintergrasp has long been dug in all directions. There is no need at all. Transport troops by ground.
"I have been too busy for the past one or two years."
Glancing at Wintergrasp, which was shrouded by the illusory barrier, Sarlayan said solemnly: "When the crisis of the Burning Legion's invasion is over, it is time to solve the problems of Ulduar and Yogg-Saron."
Pandaria's Nalak'sha Engine can still run normally even after thousands of years of idleness, but due to insufficient local energy supply in Pandaria, the output of Nalak'sha Engine is somewhat limited.
If a large-scale force is needed, the energy supply system of the Origin Furnace must be directly connected to the Nalaksha Engine.
But to do this, Sharlayan must free Pandaria from its perennial fog and reconnect with the rest of Azeroth.
Vereesa had heard about the adventures of Sharlayan, Valeela and others in Pandaria, and asked curiously: "How do you plan to convince that... Emperor Shaohao of the Pandaren?"
Sarlayan said calmly: "What Emperor Shaohao is worried about is the seven evil demons that remain in Pandaria after the death of Y'Shaarji. These seven evil demons correspond to the seven negative emotions of the Pandarian people."
"Once the people living on that land fail to control their negative emotions, the evil spirits will take advantage of them and corrode them, giving birth to a large number of void monsters named evil spirits."
"Back then, Emperor Shaohao sealed six of the seven evil demons by stripping away his own negative emotions. However, he failed when stripping away his own arrogance, which resulted in a loophole in the originally perfect seal."
"If we want to convince Emperor Shaohao, who has transformed into the mist to protect Pandaria, to unlock the mist, we must first find a way to get rid of the seven parasitic demons in Pandaria."
"It's easy to say..."
Vereesa asked distressedly: "What should we do specifically? If the seven evil demons are really so easy to deal with, the four supreme gods who have been living in the area would have taken action long ago."
"really."
Sarlayan sighed softly: "Evil demons are rooted in the hearts of all living things. Once they cause negative emotions to rise, even the four supreme gods will be unable to escape."
"This is not a problem that can be solved with a lot of effort, but it tends to be more idealistic."
"If we want to defeat the evil spirit, we must come up with a special method that can protect our souls and not be easily corrupted by external will."
"Unfortunately, I haven't thought of a proper solution yet."
"After the turmoil caused by the Scourge and the Burning Legion ends, I plan to summon the major guardian forces of Azeroth to work together to think of countermeasures."
"Now..."
While chatting, Sarlayan's transformed griffin had crossed Wintergrasp and arrived over the Sholazar Basin.
The lush virgin rainforest blocks the view of Sarlayan and Vereesa looking down. If you want to take a peek inside, you can only go through the dense leaves above the rainforest and enter the basin in person.
"Close your eyes! Hold on tight!"
Sarlayan felt a powerful source of life under the large green leaves covering the sky. It was surrounded by many individuals with weak vitality. The two sides seemed to be engaged in a fierce battle.
After confirming that Vereesa had grasped the feathers on his back, Sarlayan folded his wings and dived down quickly. In just a few seconds, he passed through the cover of leaves and officially entered the hot and humid rainforest.
Before Vereesa could express her thoughts on the different extremes of climate inside and outside the basin, Sarlayan first saw a huge Devilsaur, surrounded by many night elves wearing leather armor.
Swallowing back her complaints about the climate, Vereesa looked curiously at the battlefield below and asked, "What are they doing? How come they are so helpless?"
"I guess……"
After landing on the branch of a big tree, Sarlayan returned to his human form and looked thoughtfully at the reserved night elves.
"Maybe he wants to capture this big guy alive. After all, creatures like Devilsaur, which should have been extinct in prehistory, are still very rare."
"Except for Pandaria's Behemoth Island, they can only be found in Freya's two greenhouses of life, Un'Goro Crater and Sholazar Basin. For Druin, who respects all life and advocates biodiversity, The research and cultivation of Devilsaur are of immeasurable value.”
The corner of Vereesa's mouth twitched, and she asked with a hint of sarcasm: "Even if we capture the Devilsaurus alive, we may lose a lot of people? Is this the most common view in Druyin's traditional view that humans are inferior to animals?"
Sarlayan: "emmmmmmm..."
[What you said makes sense, and I can’t refute it. 】
