In terms of age alone, there is a huge difference between Sarlayan, who is less than a hundred years old, and Saberman, who has lived for thousands of years.
But... as we all know, during the thousands of years the Dragon Clan has spent most of their time sleeping, they have very little time to actually wake up and do things. Moreover, with the Dragon Clan's habit of procrastination... the efficiency of doing things is also quite low.
Since leaving Quel'Thalas and "joining the world" at the age of 18, Sarlayan has hardly been idle. The experience he has accumulated in these ten years of busy work has even surpassed that of Saberman, who fished for three days and sunk nets for two days. .
After years of competing with elders from various races, in order not to be tricked by those veterans, Sarlayan learned a lot about psychology under the instigation of the barrage, and even learned the art of cold reading.
The so-called cold reading technique is to understand the target's psychological activities by observing changes in the target's eyes, speech and behavior, and even induce the target to behave in line with one's expectations through words and small actions.
According to Danmaku, psychology is the necessary prerequisite for mastering cold reading.
Perhaps due to their confidence in their own strength, dragons...especially adult dragons rarely deliberately control the changes in their demeanor, which makes their psychological activities easier to see through by those who master cold reading.
In contrast, those old foxes in mortal countries who have dominated the political arena for many years are at the forefront of the world in this regard.
The black dragon Sabermine...how should I put it?
Call him incompetent, it seems a bit unobjective, but he has guarded the dragon egg for several years.
But to say that he has outstanding abilities, Sarlayan feels a little embarrassed. After all, these precious pure black dragon eggs encountered an existential crisis under his care.
To sum up, Saberman is only average in Saryan's evaluation. He can be arranged to do some grassroots work, but important matters cannot be left to him with confidence.
Saberian should have seen through the limits of his son's abilities a long time ago, and has never given him a heavy responsibility.
If Saberian hadn't been accidentally hammered to death by Gruul in Sarlayan's scheme, the important job of taking care of the dragon eggs wouldn't have fallen entirely on the mediocre Sabermine.
While Sarlayan was happily playing with the silly Sabermine to pass the time, Onyxia, who was in a very anxious mood, completed the intelligence docking with Free Will's top brass with unprecedented efficiency.
In the previous melee at Blade's Edge Mountain, except for the Moksana clan who finally jumped out to pick peaches, the three originally powerful clans all suffered heavy losses due to internal strife among themselves.
In other words, the territory they could originally control will inevitably shrink as their main combat power decreases.
This gives the undead of free will the opportunity to extend their tentacles into the Blade's Edge Mountains.
In return, when Onyxia asked for support, Lich King Thoras agreed without saying a word.
Under the investigation of a large number of undead, Onyxia only took a few days to find out the specific conditions of the volcanoes in Frostfire Ridge.
Finally, she chose a small volcano on the east side of the Cracked Plains.
Onyxia's criterion for choosing a volcano is not that bigger is better. She also needs to comprehensively consider the temperature and activity of the magma to ensure that the baby dragons' new home is in a delicate state that is highly active but will not erupt.
During the past few days when Onyxia was busy running around, Jaina, who quickly returned to Azeroth, was also very efficient.
With the assistance of the left-behind mages at Watchfort, she crossed the ocean from the Cursed Land and teleported directly to the new city of Shandalar in Northrend, the Arctic continent.
Under the call of Yin Sera, the Green Dragon Queen who was on duty at Wyrmrest Temple, the representatives of the five-color dragons quickly gathered together.
After learning that Sarlayan and his party had found the batch of pure black dragon eggs that had been missing for many years, not only the Black Dragon Queen Sinestra jumped up in surprise on the spot, but the representatives of the other four-color dragons were also quite excited.
No matter how many wrong things the Black Dragon clan has done, they are always an indispensable member of the Dragon clan system.
Under the overall management of Sinestra, who has returned from her own way, the conservative Black Dragon with Abyssian as the core has already reintegrated into this big family.
How could Sinestra not be anxious when she saw that the blue dragon that had almost been wiped out had turned around.
However, as a dragon queen, she had already lost her fertility due to injuries. The pure dragon eggs that had been missing for many years were the hope for the black dragon clan to rise again in the future, and they must not be lost.
The news that Jaina brought back shocked the entire Wyrmrest Temple. Even Malygos, who was teaching the little blue dragons in the Demonic Nexus, rushed over from Kaudala Island after hearing the news.
After some discussion, Malygos personally opened the portal leading to the Dark Portal, and Sinestra rushed in first.
Yinsera and Alexstrasza looked at each other, smiled and shook their heads at the same time.
"Sister, you should hurry up and follow us. We must protect those poor little guys."
"I know." Alexstrasza retracted her smile and said solemnly: "This rescue operation is crucial to the future of the Black Dragon clan... and even the Wyrmrest Temple. I will definitely do my best."
Since Deathwing betrayed his compatriots, Alexstrasza, the original second-in-command, has naturally become the de facto leader of Wyrmrest Temple.
As the saying goes, one must take charge of one's own affairs, so Alexstrasza must of course consider the future of the entire dragon clan from a macro perspective, and the black dragon is also a part of it.
Before the official departure, the Red Dragon Queen made mental preparations in advance.
Even if her vitality is severely damaged in this operation, she will still save those dragon eggs that are dying.
It is impossible for the Red Dragon clan to watch the queen make sacrifices alone.
Alexstrasza's eldest spouse Talanistrasz will also participate in this operation. In addition, the red dragon prince Valastrasza, the pure-blood red dragon Krisstrasza and other elites will accompany him. .
After watching the large army enter the portal one after another, Abyssian, who was forced by Sinestra to stay and guard the house, sighed heavily.
"Thank you for your hard work for the future of the Black Dragon Clan. Abyssian will definitely remember this."
Yin Sera smiled and shook her head: "You don't have to be so polite, the black dragon is also a member of the dragon clan."
Although Malygos still has not given up his hatred of Deathwing, with his open-minded character, he is not angry at Abyssian, who only broke out of his shell after the betrayal that year.
Spellweaver laughed heartily and patted Abyssian on the shoulder hard: "Boy, don't look old-fashioned at such a young age."
"Just like Yin Sera said, it is natural for the five-color dragon clan to help each other. If we encounter problems that we cannot solve alone in the future, don't forget to lend a helping hand in time."
Abby Xi'an, who has a calm personality, nodded solemnly and promised: "I will do it."
"I told you not to be so serious... Tsk~"
As if he could see someone's shadow in Abyssian's dull expression of being unable to make a sound in these three sentences, Malygos had very complicated emotions in his eyes and sighed melancholy.
"That's right, maybe it's the black dragon's nature to be dull and boring."
The considerate Yin Sera saw what Malygos was missing, and winked her left eye playfully.
"That's not necessarily true. That girl Onyxia has been very naughty since she was a child."
"Uh~" Malygos was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly and said: "Indeed, it is my habitual thinking that overgeneralizes."
"In the words of that boy from Sarlayan, one kind of rice can feed a hundred kinds of people."
"Speaking of this..."
Malygos looked at Yin Sera with a half-smile: "My dear sister, have you done any tricks recently?"
"What? Are you anxious about not being able to place your bet in advance?"
Yin Sera smiled calmly: "I don't know what you are talking about."
Seeing that Yin Sera didn't want to admit it, Malygos, who had a high emotional intelligence, did not pursue her.
"Okay, but that brat from Sarlayan is indeed very lucky, but he just pities the jealous Valeera."
"By the way, do you think Alexstrasza and Nozdormu will..."
Abisian watched speechlessly as the two disrespectful guys walked away while discussing, and shook his head in confusion.
"...Fortunately, our black dragons started early enough. Mother is indeed more far-sighted in this regard."
"but……"
Abyssian was unconsciously led away by the topic of Malygos and Yin Sera. He touched his chin thoughtfully and said, "Red dragon and bronze dragon? Can they really find a suitable candidate?" ?”
"Considering the dragon clan's overly open private life... Sarlayan is not someone who can be picked up by everyone."
