In the final battle to destroy the Scourge, the demon sword Frostmourne in Arthas's hand was severed by Thoras with another artifact, the Great Sword - Stromkar War Destroyer.
After the war, Sharlayan and Solas recovered the broken Frostmourne. After the rebellion in Ulduar was quelled, Sharlayan handed it over to Azadas, the best blacksmith in Azeroth, to start repairing it. .
Azadas lived up to his trust and repaired the magic sword, and retained the original special ability of the Sword of Sorrow.
Including Frostmourne, all the Sorrow Sword series are made by the owner himself.
As a true god-level boss, the weapon master's forging skills are even better than Azadas's, and can even be compared with the Titan of the Pantheon, Kazgoros the Shaper.
From the perspective of weapon forging alone, without considering the so-called good or evil of the weapon, Azadas repeatedly praised the forger's whimsical ideas in the instructions delivered with the magic sword, saying that he got a lot of inspiration from it.
According to the barrage, all the Sorrow Swords were made by the imprisoned soldiers who were forced to follow the requirements of Warden Zoval.
Regardless of whether the weapon master is really involuntary, the Sword of Sorrow series does have a miraculous effect on the soul.
All residents of the Shadow Realm are in the form of souls, and even the five Eternals who hold the highest authority in the Shadow Realm are no exception.
This can be proven by the fact that Anduin Wrynn, who was controlled by the Warden, successfully attacked Gristia in the original history.
No matter how weak Gristia is, she still truly possesses the status of a true god.
Not to mention Anduin, a mortal, even a senior demigod would have a hard time breaking through her defenses.
However, Anduin, who was holding the Sword of Sorrow, did it across levels. This shows how powerful the special attack capabilities of the Sword of Sorrow series of weapons are against the soul body.
In the words of barrage jokes... the restraint is beyond the sky, and the special attack is on the Japanese gods.
Now that he has decided to go to the Shadow Realm again to deal with the tail left behind last time, Sarlayan must of course make some targeted preparations in advance.
Frostmourne was the special attack weapon he prepared for his trip to the Maw.
Everything in the world is constantly changing. No matter how carefully you plan in advance, accidents may occur frequently during actual actions.
Considering the difference in strength between them, Sarlayan would naturally try his best to avoid the warden's surveillance and act secretly, but... what if.
Frostmourne is the trump card prepared for this.
If the warden thought that he could defeat Sarlayan, a little demigod, by virtue of his realm gap, then… Sarlayan would definitely try his best to give him a big surprise.
Before putting Frostmourne into his own space package, Sarlayan, out of habitual caution, once again conducted a close inspection of Frostmourne, and finally determined that Denathrius and the Warden had left this magic sword. The back door has completely disappeared.
In the next half month, Sarlayan temporarily put aside all official duties and visited relatives and friends in the Yonge Forest of Nuoda.
Inas disappeared again after returning from Northeron. It was said that she was secretly researching with Nefarian on how to realize the mass production of degraded colorful dragons.
The birth of a perfect colorful dragon like Sarlayan has a lot of luck. Even if Inas were to follow the same method again, she could not guarantee success.
Therefore, after discussion, Nefarian and Inas decided to compromise and lower the parameter standards for a perfect colorful dragon, without forcing them to have a powerful potential like Sharlayan.
According to Julian, who stayed at Deep Shadow Manor, the research on downgrading Inas and Nefarian has already produced some preliminary results.
Unfortunately, this genetic modification technology cannot be applied to mature five-color dragons, and can only work on baby dragons that have not yet hatched from dragon eggs.
But even so, the two people's secret research also made the few insiders in Longmian Temple very excited.
As we all know, the Dragon Clan has a special coming-of-age ceremony that can automatically break through the threshold of demigods upon reaching adulthood.
However, this method of overthrowing and promoting ripening contains great hidden dangers. The five guardian dragons that have been stagnant since tens of thousands of years ago are the most vivid examples.
Theoretically, dragons can be like iron-headed children like Abyssian and Stellagosa, who can resist not participating in the coming-of-age ceremony and rely on their own potential to forcibly break through and become demigods.
In this way, the damaged potential caused by the rite of passage can be bypassed and a broader future can be achieved.
But...all intelligent creatures are inert.
After all, there are only a few people who can bear to use shortcuts even though they know there are shortcuts.
Moreover, not every dragon clan has such powerful potential as Little Star and Black Horn. If they are always stuck on the threshold of breaking through to demigods, it would be better to save time and effort from the beginning and participate in the coming-of-age ceremony.
Besides that there is another problem.
The government system in which the five-color dragon takes turns in charge of Wyrmrest Temple has lasted for tens of thousands of years.
With the dramatic changes in the situation in Azeroth in modern times, coupled with the huge blow caused by Deathwing's rebellion to the prestige of Wyrmrest Temple, the dragon clan with a long history is also in urgent need of introducing the wind of change.
The birth of Sharlayan...or the colorful dragon was an opportunity.
Although the five-color dragons are nominally like a family, due to different scale colors and different strength characteristics, there will still be a certain distance between them.
Taking Sharlayan as an example, the colorful dragon can use the power of the five-color dragon at the same time, and the golden dragon scales also look majestic.
If the mass production experiment of colorful dragons can be successful, as time goes by, colorful dragons with more comprehensive capabilities will sooner or later replace the five-color dragons and become the mainstream of the dragon clan.
This is just like the racial discrimination that Danmu mentioned before.
No matter how much emphasis is placed on racial equality, most people will still have in their minds the thought of "those who are not of my race must have different minds" when looking at the people around them who have different skin colors and customs.
The Aspect Dragons headed by Alexstrasza can reach the heights of Sharlayan's future without insisting on mass-produced colorful dragons. However, it is indisputable that a colorful dragon with comprehensive abilities has greater potential than a five-color dragon with very limited abilities. fact.
This is a very simple mathematical problem. Even if the mass-produced colorful dragons cannot advance the five major powers at the same time like Sarlayan, they will have more opportunities to choose a path than the regular five-color dragons who can only go to black in one way.
As the saying goes, if I am born with talent, I will be useful.
If there is no light in the east, there will always be light in the west.
Of course, it’s too early to consider the iteration of Wyrmrest Temple.
Even the dragons who have not entered the realm of demigods have a much longer growth cycle and lifespan than the elves. This iterative plan is destined to be a huge project that takes at least a thousand years.
As the saying goes, if you are poor, you will want to change.
As the strength of Azeroth's enemies increases, the strength of the five Aspect Dragons, once the mainstay of Azeroth, gradually becomes insufficient.
The worst thing is not this, but that the upper limit of their strength has been locked for a long time, and they may not be able to go further through conventional means in this life.
This is also the main reason why Alexstrasza and others are rushing to bet heavily on Sarlayan.
In addition to the fact that Sarlayan himself cannot see the ultimate potential, his flaming eyes are also one of the reasons why the dragon guardians value him.
Taking the confidante around Sarlayan as an example, even the weakest Jaina's talent is visible to the naked eye, and it is only a matter of time before she breaks through and becomes a demigod.
...Of course, Tina Gosa, a troublemaker who doesn't want to work hard, is an exception.
If the Sarlayan family can be ruthless enough to force little Tina, with her talent there is no chance that she will break through the bottleneck with her own strength.
However, members of the Deep Shadow family, including Stella Gosa, believed that this was not necessary. Anyway, they did not expect this weird group pet to charge on the front line in the battle.
If the time comes when mascots like Tinagosa have to join the war, I'm afraid Azeroth will not be far away from being wiped out.
In the eyes of Alexstrasza and other elders, Sarlayan seems to have a rather metaphysical destiny of "prosperous wife". As long as any woman he likes is not successful, at least she will have the potential to become successful.
This is not just limited to Sharlayan's pillow, it is only a matter of time before Liadrin and the three Windrunner sisters break through.
After hearing his father Julian's teasing, Sarlayan waved his hands in confusion: "What is this? Are you using me as a metaphysical buff machine? These are just coincidences."
"It's not that I have a discerning eye, but that they already have outstanding talents. It's just that I happened to know them." (End of Chapter)
