Sharlayan had struggled with finding the Battle Faith for a long time.

At that time, he didn't have a clear goal that he was willing to work hard for, and the countless fights he fought were just to resolve his inner irritability and anxiety.

To put it simply, there is no brain when fighting, and the body moves faster than the brain.

After countless experiences in adventures, the more mature Sharlayan no longer worries about this problem.

To put it bluntly, his current belief is to protect, protect his family, protect his territory, protect his motherland, and protect Azeroth, which he and his relatives and friends depend on for survival.

To put it more bluntly, it is to protect everything that is dear to you.

Lailas's confusion is different from Sharlayan's. He clearly knows his goal, but he is a bit lost in the process of how to achieve this goal.

The fundamental reason lies in Sharlayan and Valeera.

The little friend who used to run away together is now a legendary hero, the noble earl of Quel'Thalas, and has a small reputation in Quel'Thalas and even the entire Azeroth.

Even minor fame is an understatement.

Lailas didn't think that his talent was inferior to that of Salayan. He also knew that the rapid improvement of Salayan and Valeera's strength came from a lot of actual combat experience, and they struggled between life and death many times.

Lyras' philosophy is very clear. He wants to protect his mother and three sisters with his own strength, become the pillar of the Windrunner family, and become the pride in their hearts.

But Lylas walked into a misunderstanding. He paranoidly believed that the guardian family must stay in Quel'Thalas at all times, which was contrary to the outings encouraged by Sharlayan and Valeera.

The formation of this kind of thinking cannot be entirely blamed on Lailas himself. It is the alternative doting of Li Reza and others on him that gave birth to this strange psychology.

To apply the saying of barrage, the person who tied the bell must be untied.

The paranoid ideas born out of the doting of the family will ultimately be solved by Lyras' family, and Sharlayan and Valeera can only thread the needle between them.

"Let him go first, it's rare to go out, let him relax."

Sharlayan showed a gloating expression on his face: "If my prediction is correct, it will not be so easy for this kid to imagine being so leisurely now."

Valeera: "It always feels like you're smiling like a villain now."

Sharlayan: "..."

【Grass, Valeera just made fun of it casually, don't go to extremes and pretend to be paralyzed. 】

…

The appearance of Kel'Thuzad's Mage Tower is very simple, not as eye-catching as the Phoenix Tower left by Kael'thas.

If it wasn't built according to the standards of the archmage, it would stand out from the crowd, and this rather shabby-looking mage tower would be completely useless in Dalaran, a city of thousands of towers.

The gate at the bottom of the mage tower was closed tightly, and a spell restriction was specially set on the gate. Only two bored apprentices were guarding the gate.

After 2 years, news related to Quel'Thalas once again spread in Dalaran.

This was done on purpose by Antonidas, deliberately promoting the cooperation between the high elves and Dalaran, and preparing for the re-establishment of diplomatic relations with Quel'Thalas in the near future.

Rumors, the more times they change hands, the more inconsistent the content is with the truth, and it can even be described as outrageous.

On the premise that Romans deliberately downplayed his sense of existence, Salayan was pushed to the front of the stage by Antonidas as a matter of course.

Recently, in the tavern in Dalaran, the news about the half-elf earl has become more and more outrageous.

Some people say that Sharlayan planted a towering giant tree in the sewer, sealing the demons hidden underground in the tree.

This rumor is probably spread by the high elves who have stayed in Dalaran to make a living. It refers to the deeds of Malfurion and Xavius.

Others say that Sharlayan summoned meteorites outside the city, smashing the demon into the bottom of Lake Lordamere.

These weird rumors made Sharlayan dumbfounded, and each one became more and more nonsense.

But becoming a celebrity in Dalaran is not entirely a bad thing, at least he can directly swipe his face in many places.

Seeing two high elves walking side by side, the mage apprentice who was dozing off with his staff was awakened by his companion shaking his shoulders.

"Hey! Look at that person! Could it be the half-elf earl mentioned in the rumors?"

Thanks to the excellent genes inherited from his mother Inas, Sharlayan, who is a half-elf, has no difference in appearance from purebred elves, and is even more masculine than handsome and gentle male high elves.

The only thing that could tell the difference was Sharlayan's elf ears, which were slightly shorter than those of the purebred elves.

The sleepy-eyed apprentice woke up immediately, staring wide-eyed at the two people who were slowly walking towards the door of the mage tower.

"It really is…"

With the volunteering assistance of these two excited apprentices, Kel'Thuzad, who locked himself in the tower and devoted himself to research, soon received the news.

"High elves?!"

Kel'Thuzad was irritated and wanted to wave his hand to say that no one was there, but after learning that the other party was from Quel'Thalas, his attitude immediately turned 180 degrees.

Knowing that a high elf wanted to have an academic exchange with him, Kel'Thuzad personally came to the bottom floor after a long absence, rubbed his hands and eagerly greeted him.

Kel'Thuzad was taken aback when he saw Sharlayan and Valeera's casual attire. He thought the visitors would be wearing more formal mage robes. After all, the reason for their visit was academic exchanges.

However, Kel'Thuzad is not a person who sticks to common etiquette. As long as this academic exchange can achieve his established goals, it doesn't matter what the etiquette is.

"Welcome to both of you, I am Kirin Tor Councilor Kel'Thuzad."

After not going out for a long time, Kel'Thuzad didn't know the identities of the two high elf visitors, and the apprentices didn't dare to bother him with gossip.

Sharlayan smiled and bowed slightly, and Valeera also lifted the hem of her skirt and knelt.

"It's a pleasure to meet Your Excellency, Archmage Kel'Thuzad."

"I am the Earl of Quel'Thalas, Sharlayan Deep Shadow, and this is my companion, Valeera Sangunar."

Since it was inconvenient for Valeera's identity to be revealed as a member of Backlighting Blade, she consciously took half a step back and stood beside Sharlayan after seeing the ceremony, making it clear that she would give Sharlayan the leadership of the conversation.

"count…"

A trace of doubt flashed in Kel'Thuzad's eyes.

Although he is not interested in the general affairs of the Kirin Tor Councilor, he still needs to master the necessary information because of his duties.

There are not many Earl-level nobles in Quel'Thalas, and in Kel'Thuzad's impression, there is no earl family named Deep Shadow.

"Could it be that he is the heir of Sir Villes Deep Shadow?"

Sharlayan explained with a smile: "Yes, and no."

"Villes is my uncle, and my father's name is Julian Deep Shadow. Our family is a branch of the Deep Shadow family. My earlship was awarded not long ago for my meritorious service."

"I guess identity has little to do with our academic communication, does it?"

Kel'Thuzad looked at Sharlayan with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, just nodded in agreement.

"Of course, two distinguished guests, please come with me."

‘Earl awarded for meritorious service, has anything major happened to Quel’Thalas recently? '

…

After bringing the two to the living room, Kel'Thuzad, who didn't like being disturbed by others, pushed all the apprentices away.

This was exactly what Sharlayan wanted.

"Master Kel'Thuzad, I don't like to beat around the bush, so let's get straight to the point."

Sharlayan, who was sitting on the sofa, bowed slightly~lightnovelpub.net~ lowered his voice and said, "I heard that your Excellency is researching psychic spells, how is the current progress?"

Kel'Thuzad's face changed suddenly, and there was a hint of sternness in his eyes looking at Sharlayan.

"I heard? I don't know where the Earl heard about it?"

Sharlayan smiled mysteriously: "Forgive me for the inconvenience of the source of information, and you don't have to be nervous. I don't intend to make irresponsible remarks on taboo research from a righteous standpoint."

Sharlayan stretched out his left hand in front of Kel'Thuzad, and the gray death ability quickly gathered in his palm.

"This…"

Kel'Thuzad immediately forgot about his previous precautions, and got up from the sofa with some frenzy in his eyes, and came over.

"Is this the pure power of death?! Are you..."

Sharlayan smiled and clasped his hands to disperse the gray energy in his hands: "Didn't I say that this trip is for academic exchanges."

"Master Kel'Thuzad, now, can we officially begin?"
