Although Sharlayan made a fuss in the Shadow Realm, the only Eternals who had personal contact with him were the Queen of Winter and her eldest daughter, Gristia.

The Winter Queen and the "Moon God" Elune are sisters, and they are one of the top elders on the death side and the life side respectively.

Compared with Gristia, Sharlayan has spent more time in contact with the Queen of Winter, and has some understanding of the character of the Eternal.

In a word, the Winter Queen is not purely incompetent like Gristia, she is just not interested in many things.

In the words of the barrage, the Winter Queen's character is too Buddhist, and her leadership temperament is worrisome.

As for Gristia... just ignore her, why expect too much from a foreman who is in charge of welcoming guests.

Salayan had never met Denathrius in person, but he had been a "spiritual friend" for a long time, and he was no stranger to Denathrius' style and methods.

Excluding the above three, among the five Eternals, Sharlayan doesn't know much about Zorval and the Lord of Arms.

According to the information provided by the barrage, Sarlayan, who thought he was on the outside, gave Zoval and Bingzhu different objective evaluations.

Sarlayan sees Zoval as a paranoid idealist.

His starting point may be good, but unfortunately he went the wrong way. The means used in the process of achieving the goal were too extreme, and he was eventually exiled by the four brothers and sisters who couldn't bear it.

Interestingly, the four Eternals had different evaluations of Zovar when they exiled him, representing their positions and personalities.

Although the eldest daughter Gristie's ability is worrying, her three views are the most correct among the five eternal beings.

Her accusation against Zoval was "abandonment of duty".

The Winter Queen commented that Zoval "has broken the cycle of life and death".

Denathius believes that Zoval is too extreme, there should be a "better solution", and he should join forces with him to deal with the threat.

Where is the soldier?

The warlord didn't comment on anything, just asked a question before banishing Zovar.

Why do you want to do this.

Zorval's answer reveals his intention, that he wants to rewrite the rules laid down by the Firstborn, so that the physical universe can survive the threat of something that will come in the future.

As for what this so-called cosmic-level threat is, the barrage doesn't know. Anyway, it is definitely not the group of elemental dragon kings who can only play tricks inside Azeroth in the next version.

So far, Sharlayan's evaluation of the Warlord is... an excellent chess player with vision and vision, a true leader among the Eternals.

If there weren't some clues accidentally discovered during this trip beyond time and space, Sharlayan would never have suspected that this very majestic and upright Shadow Realm was in charge.

"think carefully…"

Facing Valeera's question that seemed to point to something, Sharlayan did not answer directly, but said in an inexplicable tone: "Why did the soldier lord fall into Lingwu so easily?"

"With his overall view and strategic ability, can't he really not see the little tricks that Denathius is doing behind the scenes?"

Valeera's face changed slightly, and her hands holding the rein were slightly strained.

"You mean, the soldier may have been captured by Zorval and Denathius on purpose? But why did he do that?"

Sharlayan: "There are not enough clues. With the information we have now, it is difficult to analyze a logical result."

Sharlayan was also quite puzzled by this: "If you boldly put forward a hypothesis, maybe the military master wants to fish on purpose? In order to get rid of Zovar and Denathius, the only ones among the Eternals who can pose a threat to him?"

"But... this baseless inference is completely untenable."

According to the future information provided by the barrage, until the end of version 10.0, the military master's position was always on the positive side, and he did not expose the slightest flaw at all.

"Huh~ Headache."

In the process of galloping fast, Sharlayan, who transformed into a tank bug, shook his head slightly.

"Let's stop here for the time being assuming that there is no evidence. Perhaps the military leader does have his own considerations behind it, but this does not mean that his position must run counter to ours."

"There are not so many black and white distinctions between good and evil in this world. Everyone will have their own different positions. The conflict between different forces is, in the final analysis, a conflict of interests."

"really."

Valeera also temporarily let go of her worries and analysis of the dark side of the soldier's personality.

"No matter what plans the military master has behind his back, as long as he is willing to stand on the side of protecting the peace and justice of the universe, we really don't need to be enemies of this powerful eternal being."

"on the contrary…"

Valeera's eyes became deeper: "If one day the military master, Denathrius or other big bosses jump out and threaten the interests of Azeroth..."

Sharlayan took the words and said: "No matter how powerful their power is, in order to protect our hometown and family, we must show our swords to the enemy without hesitation."

…

When the Dark Empire ruled Azeroth, the means of competition between the ancient gods were still very primitive. It was nothing more than you coming and going to compete with each other for strength and weakness. There were not so many twists and turns in the future war mode. .

The calculation of conspiracy and tricks is a new "weapon" gradually developed by the ancient gods after being sealed for tens of thousands of years due to lack of power.

Just like the way the late Archimonde thought about it.

The ancient gods who are in their heyday can use the simplest and most direct way to deal with the enemy, so why should they bother to rely on those small tricks.

Since it has never had experience in dealing with this aspect, Ahn'Qiraj City's defense against espionage is almost nil.

Although there were a few tall bugmen guarding outside the city gate, they didn't interrogate Valeera too much when she rode a tank bug to Ahn'Qiraj.

Knowing that this small faceless man came from a long-abandoned village and planned to start a new life in Ahn'Qiraj, the insect guards readily let him go.

Valeera swaggered and rode Sharlayan's transformed tank bugs to line up to enter the holy city of Ahn'Qiraj.

It has to be said that, as one of the few large cities in this era, Ahn'Qiraj is indeed very prosperous.

The buggers and faceless men who entered and left the city had to wait in line. This orderly scene made Sharlayan want to complain.

"Isn't the ancient **** a creature of the shadow side? Who did you learn this set of standardized management methods from?"

Valeera shrugged and joked in the soul link: "Perhaps it is self-taught? After all, the Dark Empire has existed for tens of thousands of years. No matter how stupid those in power are, they should have summed up some useful ideas after such a long time." A law that favors government."

The tank worms couldn't speak. During the boring process of queuing, Sarlayan and Valeera just joked around in the Soul Link channel to pass the time, and occasionally made jokes with the barrage.

"Heh~ From this calculation, the dark empire should take the route of biotechnology."

"How did you say that?"

"The machine is weak, and the flesh and blood are soaring?"

【...Is it reversed? It is the flesh and blood that is weak, and the machine is soaring. 】

[? 】

[Family come and watch! There is an honest man here! 】

Although Sharlayan's words were obviously meant as a joke, but upon careful investigation, it was indeed the case.

The ancient gods are representative products of flesh and blood creatures, and the concept of the curse of flesh and blood runs through the entire history of Azeroth.

On the planet Azeroth, except for the native species of trolls, night elves and various elves that evolved from dark trolls bathing in the energy of the Eternal Well, almost all mainstream races of Azeroth are Related to the curse of flesh and blood.

There have been barrage hypotheses~lightnovelpub.net~They think that trolls existed in Azeroth before the Titans noticed Azeroth.

After being sent to this era by Nozdormu, after questioning Freya and personally investigating, Sharlayan could clearly tell them that this statement is pure nonsense.

Excluding the Aqir and Faceless who were transformed by the ancient gods, the birth of trolls is indeed earlier than any native intelligent species of Azeroth.

But at least in the current era, those fang monsters are far from appearing.

After tens of thousands of years of exploration and development, the ancient gods of the dark empire have gradually worked out a set of evolutionary routes that are most suitable for the creatures of the ancient gods under the background of competition and cooperation with each other.

Even if they are also called sub-humans, the racial categories within the insects are also flourishing.

And these worms with different shapes and specialties, as well as all kinds of bases derived from the faceless ones (Enraki), are the research results of the five ancient gods over the years.

Perhaps it is because most of the energy is put on the ascension of flesh and blood, the urban architectural style of the Dark Empire does not seem to be high-tech, but the population is really large.

"Um?!"

Just entering the bustling holy city of Ahn'Qiraj, Sharlayan was discussing with Valeera where to settle first, when an inexplicable feeling of being spied on came to the door first.

"...It's numb."

Sarlayan smiled wryly and signaled Valeera to get ready to run: "What kind of gunpowder did Ke'suen take? How could he be so sensitive?"

"Buzz!"

A C'Thun eyeball suddenly appeared in front of Sharlayan and Valeera. With the dark purple light flickering in the eyeball, the illusion spell on Valeera's body was forcibly dispelled on the spot, but Sharlayan still It maintains the shape of a tank bug.

"Hold on, we're about to slip!"
