Although the changes in the situation in Lordaeron are very important, in the end they are still foreign affairs. At this stage, you just need to keep paying attention. Sarlayan still has his own life to live.
In order to celebrate the completion of the expansion of Unicorn City, and also to celebrate Sarlayan's promotion to Duke, half a month ago, Sarlayan decided to hold a banquet, just in time to give those uneasy nobles a chance to talk to him. Opportunity for interviews.
Since Valeera was responsible for monitoring the situation in Lordaeron in real time, Sharlayan adopted the suggestion of Stellagosa who volunteered and handed over the preparations for the banquet to her and Tinagosa. Delegated.
Now that things have happened, Sarlayan actually has nothing to hide.
Many well-informed nobles of Quel'Thalas already know that the beautiful blue-haired girl who often haunts the Duke's Mansion is not of their own race, but a blue dragon that has transformed into a human form.
Not only that, due to Onyxia's intentional or unintentional exposure, many people in the duchy were vaguely aware that this dark-haired beauty who often appeared in major entertainment venues seemed to be a giant in human form. dragon.
And it is also the legendary evil and chaotic black dragon.
Coupled with the fact that the mother of the Duke of Deep Shadow, Yinasi, would occasionally turn into a dragon form to go to and from work, many people began to wonder whether the other half of Sarlayan's half-elf bloodline came from the dragon clan.
If so, then the joke is really big.
The nobles who had had conflicts with the Deep Shadow family or Sarlayan himself for various reasons were in constant panic, fearing that one day their mansion would be burned to the ground by a giant dragon descending from the sky with its breath.
Sarlayan did not have such a strong desire for revenge, and he did not pay attention to those inconsequential frictions.
As for the fights he had when he was a child because of his blood pulse... Sarlayan couldn't even remember who he had fought with.
Because there are too many.
Before receiving "pardon" from Sarlayan himself, the nobles who had ulterior motives could not let go of their worries. This is one of the main reasons why a large number of nobles rushed to send banquet invitations after learning that Sarlayan had returned to the country. .
Due to the ban secretly issued by Kael'thas, the above information is only circulated among the elite circles of Quel'Thalas, and ordinary people still know nothing about it.
In their eyes, Sarlayan Deep Shadow is still a half-elf descendant who relies on his own abilities to rise to the top. His "lowly" status has great motivational significance.
The days passed as Sharlayan paid attention to the developments in Lordaeron and met all the needs put forward by Stellagosa.
Vereesa kept her promise and rushed back from Northrend in a dusty afternoon the day before the banquet.
When he saw the translucent ghost tiger following Vereesa's feet, Barrage immediately explained to Sarlayan.
[This guy is the ghost tiger Gudelia, the spirit beast that wanders in the Zul'Drak area. It's a shame that Vereesa dared to hover over Zul'Drak against the hostile gaze of the trolls from Dakkar. 】
Gudelia is one of several spirit beasts that exist in Northrend, and it is also one of the more difficult to tame in Sharlayan's opinion.
The difficulty does not come from Gudelia's strength, but from its range of activities.
This guy has been wandering near Zul'Drak, the lair of the Dakkari trolls, all year round. If she didn't get a flying mount to look down from the air, it would be very difficult for Vereesa to sneak into Zul'Drak from the ground and find Gudelia.
Sarlayan originally thought that Vereesa would go to Sholazar Basin to seek help from Fandral and try to tame the ghost leopard Lokanahar.
In addition, there is a ghost bear named Arcturus in Grizzly Hills, which is relatively easy to obtain. Vereesa’s final choice surprised Sarlayan somewhat.
In addition to the above three soul beasts, the Storm Cliff where Zhuri, commonly known as the Lightning Wolf, is obviously not allowed to go, unless Vereesa wants to be knocked down from the sky by Loken's thunder and lightning.
Moreover, if Danmaku remembers correctly, Zhuri and Hati seem to be the pets of Storm Guardian Thorim, and there is no need for Vereesa to offend Thorim for a soul beast.
The existence form of soul beasts is completely different from ordinary beasts. Take Gudelia who was tamed by Vereesa as an example.
All soul beasts have an ability called phase travel... To put it simply, it is an enhanced version of stealth. Even Sarlayan, who has excellent perception ability, can hardly find traces of Gudelia who enters the stealth state.
In addition, Gudelia also has a special ability called soul healing, which can use his own energy to heal the owner's injuries at critical moments.
After taming Gudelia, Vereesa's overall combat ability has improved a lot again.
Danmaku often jokes that at least half of the Beastmaster Hunter's strength lies in his baby (animal companion). The stronger the baby is, the stronger the Beastmaster Hunter will naturally be.
However, this evaluation is for pure beast king hunters, and Vereesa is obviously not one.
Vereesa, who was transferred from the Ranger profession, holds the artifact Eagle Claw, which has good combat effectiveness. The powerful animal companion is just the icing on the cake for her, and she will not rely too much on the power of the animal companion.
But no matter what, Vereesa's new partner Gudelia can further enhance Vereesa's strength. Vereesa naturally did not forget to thank Sarlayan for providing information about the soul beast.
"Salayan, you are helping the Windrunner family more and more. If you continue like this, I don't know how to repay you."
Vereesa joked, "How about I convince my mother and sisters to marry Lalas into your family?"
Sarlayan rolled his eyes angrily: "No, I'm male, I like women, and I have no interest in the weird tricks that nobles like to play."
It has been more than 7,000 years since the founding of Quel'Thalas. The extremely bored nobles came up with many tricks in their normal entertainment.
Some nobles were tired of playing with women and actually liked to raise some handsome young men for fun. This was something Sarlayan could not accept at any cost.
Vereesa smiled and waved her hand: "Okay, it's just a joke. If I really dare to bring up this kind of thing, my mother will be furious on the spot."
"But to be honest, although you don't care much about it yourself and never ask for anything in return, we can't take your help for granted."
Sharlayan shook his head: "Don't worry so much. If Sister Alleria hadn't helped support the party earlier, as a half-elf, it would have been even more difficult for me to live in Quel'Thalas."
Vereesa straightened her face and said, "It's the same thing. Sister is helping you out of personal sympathy and personal relationship with Julian. From the standpoint of the family, Windrunner still has to repay your help."
"When I visited my mother not long ago, she meant the same thing."
"this……"
Sarlayan smiled bitterly and spread his hands: "You are really stubborn...Okay, then I will wait for your reward. Don't force yourself too much."
Fortunately, Onyxia went to check out the newly expanded Entertainment Street in the city today.
If she were here, there was a good chance that Vereesa would half-jokingly agree to marry her, which would arouse the wrath of jealous people out of thin air. At that time, it would inevitably be another round of drama that Onyxia likes to see. .
"correct."
Seeing that Sarlayan did not want to continue this topic, Vereesa asked knowingly: "I heard the gossip about the Duke of Shadow's banquet when I was transiting in New Shandara. I heard that the Sun King planned to come to help you personally. field?"
Sarlayan smiled helplessly: "It is indeed possible, but I refused."
"This is a banquet held privately by aristocratic circles. If the royal family is involved, the nature will completely change, and many people will not be able to let it go."
Vereesa nodded in understanding: "That's indeed the truth...but you are really the Holy Scroll Master."
Sarlayan waved his hand indifferently: "It's just a personal relationship in the early years. When I met Kael'thas, he was just a prince who was exiled to Dalaran to avoid trouble."
"I only helped him a little bit when he returned to Silvermoon City to inherit the throne."
Vereesa curled her lips: "What a small favor. Do you really think I don't know what happened?"
"Forget it, the contemporary Sun King is originally a person with a gentle personality and values love and justice. It is your own ability to gain his friendship. I..."
"Uh-huh!"
Before Vereesa finished speaking, a blue-white portal suddenly opened in the garden where the two were talking, and a familiar figure walked out of it. Through the portal, you could vaguely see the Thousand Towers on the other side. A scene from the city of Dalaran.
"Um?"
Jaina looked at Vereesa, who was sitting opposite Sarlayan, with complicated eyes: "Did I come at the wrong time?"
[No, you came just in time. 】
【You are all my wings! (Dense fog)]
Sarlayan: "?"
