"Hehe~"

The mysterious man whose whole body was covered by smoke let out a contemptuous laugh: "You think I'll tell you the truth?"

"Forget it, since the gap between the nightmares here has been exposed, I don't bother to spend any more effort. Anyway, it's just a free hand left by Xavis."

"Salayan Earl Deep Shadow."

The mysterious man let out an unpleasant chuckle when he turned to leave: "I believe we will have a chance to meet again in the future. Until then, continue to struggle hard."

With the departure of the mysterious person, the gray fog covering the entire space also dissipated.

Standing on the clear sky and water, Salayan's brows remained untucked.

"Is it the successor of Xavis, the king of nightmares? Tsk! Those crow mouths really hit the mark."

When Sharlayan planned to kill Xavius, part of the barrage persuaded him to keep his hand.

The Nightmare King is just a puppet, and Xavius ​​is just the best of N'Zoth's many puppets.

Even if there is no Xavius, the Demon with Thousand Beards can support another one.

Even if he is not as handy as Xavius, he can still cause a lot of trouble to the defenders of Azeroth who don't know the origin of the new king.

Part of the barrage thinks that instead of letting N'Zoth replace him with a stranger he doesn't know, it's better to let Xavius ​​stay, so that he can continue to deal with the Nightmare King whose information has been exposed most of the time.

However, Salayan, who was young and energetic at the time, ignored the barrage's suggestion, and joined forces with Maiev to kill Xavius ​​without hesitation.

Sure enough, that fellow N'Zoth would not give up the Nightmare King so easily, an excellent tool man who could threaten the Emerald Dream.

Xavius ​​had indeed fallen and was impossible to reappear, but N'Zoth raised up a new Nightmare King as predicted by the barrage.

The worst part was that Sharlayan was completely unable to guess the identity of the other party, so naturally he was unable to prepare for the countermeasures.

"Forget it... put this matter aside for now."

Turning his head to look at Shen-zin Zi who was still unconscious, Sarlayan rested his chin on his hand and muttered to himself thoughtfully.

"I originally thought that Shen-zinko's deep sleep was just a simple self-seal, but now it seems that things are not that simple."

"In any case, let's get rid of the nightmare power that has plagued it for many years."

…

Sarlayan's subjective consciousness stayed in the nightmare for several hours, but from the perspective of Valeera and Stellagosa who had been guarding his body, Sarlayan's time to enter the trance was only a short ten minutes.

"Huh~"

After Sharlayan got rid of the nightmare curse on Shen-zin Zi, he didn't need to make any preparations. Without the support of the power of nightmare, the cracked space that trapped Sarlayan's consciousness dissipated automatically.

Sharlayan, who had regained consciousness, had a heavy expression on his face. Valeera and Stellagosa immediately noticed the abnormality in the atmosphere, and stopped their harassing movements to surround them.

Valeera asked in confusion: "What's the matter? You won't be really angry, will you?"

Sharlayan shook his head solemnly: "It has nothing to do with your actions, this matter is a long story."

…

"nightmare?"

After learning part of the real reason for Shen-zin Zi's deep sleep from Sarlayan, Shang Xi, who was always benevolent and kind-hearted, rarely showed a dignified expression.

"It sounds disturbing... tell me in detail, what is this nightmare?"

Under Sharlayan's gesture, the eloquent Valeera told Shang Xi and the other elders of Wuchen Temple about the origin of the nightmare in simple terms, and as expected, the elders frowned.

"It turns out that there are such evil creatures in the dream world."

Shang Xi asked suspiciously: "I have a question. Shen-zin Zi is not a demigod of the wilderness, nor is she the loa deity that the trolls said. Logically speaking, she cannot enter the Emerald Dream. Why is she affected by the nightmare?"

Sharlayan couldn't figure out why.

"This question, I'm afraid we can only ask Shen-zin Zi himself after he wakes up."

"However, according to my understanding, demigods and Loa are not the only ones who can freely enter and exit the Emerald Dream."

"Any life that has a relationship with the wilderness and nature may receive an invitation to the Emerald Dream. Maybe Shen-zinko also strayed into it by chance and coincidence, and was polluted by the Nightmare King after entering a deep sleep."

Gu Chan

Xavius, the former Nightmare King, was personally beheaded by Sharlayan. Perhaps his body was contaminated with some pheromones or soul breath left by Xavius, which made him accidentally break into the Into the cracks of the nightmare left by Savis.

Although the nightmare power that has haunted Shen-zinko for many years has been eliminated, due to Shen-zinko's self-seal, it still has not awakened from its deep sleep.

Thanks to Shen-zinko who sealed her own consciousness, the backhand left by Xavius ​​failed to play any role, and the curse of nightmare has never been able to erode its will.

This should also be the reason why the new Nightmare King left without hesitation. He didn't need to fight Sharlayan here.

Whether he can win or not is another matter. Even if he wins half a hand by luck, he can't kill Sharlayan's consciousness, and he can't get any benefits. Why bother.

Although Sarlayan repeatedly assured that there would be no problems with Shen-zin Zi's consciousness, the elders of Wuchen Temple were still a little worried, and they took turns to check on Shen-zin Zi's condition in the next few days.

After going through the third stage of mind-cultivation trials, Shang Xi announced that Salayan no longer needed to accept his teachings in this regard.

The master leads the door, and the practice is up to the individual. How far Sharlayan can use the knowledge he has learned depends entirely on his own future efforts.

At first glance, Sharlayan didn't have any immediate gains, but only he himself knew how effective this trial was.

The impetuous nature that accompanied Sharlayan since he was born has been completely reversed. According to Shang Xi, his current state of mind can be described by an old pandaren saying.

Goodness is like water.

For the next two days, Sharlayan didn't spend any more energy on cultivation, but actually played with Valeera and Stellagosa on the Wandering Isle for two days.

The population of the Wandering Isle is small, and they traveled to and from various villages many times. The local people knew the three of Salayan well. Some brave pandaren children even dared to climb on top of Salayan and demand to be held high.

Shen-zinko's body was not affected by what happened on the Wandering Isle, and she was still heading towards the North Sea step by step.

After arriving at the predetermined time and place, Stellagosa established contact with the Sapphire Dragon Sanctuary in Dragonblight.

Before entering the portal, Salayan patted the shoulders of Stellagosa and Valeera.

"As long as the situation in Crystalsong Forest doesn't change fundamentally, I won't stay in Northrend for too long. You just wait here for my return."

Valeera curled her lips and said, "Okay, don't be seduced by the beautiful female dragon in Wyrmrest Temple."

Sharlayan rolled his eyes angrily: "You're jealous again... Don't you know what kind of person I am?"

Stellagosa couldn't help covering her mouth and chuckling: "Don't be poor, let's go, the distance is too far, I can't maintain the portal for a long time, go back quickly."

Salayan nodded to Shang Xi, Cheng Bo and others who were watching, and then stepped into the portal without hesitation.

The extremely cold wind of Northrend replaced the breeze of the Wandering Isle blowing on Sharlayan's face. Sharlayan, who came to the sapphire dragon sanctuary, spread his dragon wings and hovered in mid-air, which soon attracted people who stayed here. Attention the blue dragon.

"You are…"

A female blue dragon with a softer figure and outline approached and looked at Sharlayan's appearance curiously.

"Ah~ I remembered."

The female blue dragon transformed into a blue-haired high elf with dragon horns, and bowed politely to Sharlayan.

"Hello, son of Elenastrasza, I am the daughter of the spellweaver Malygos and the dragon queen Sindragosa, the blue dragon princess Teligosa."

'Princess Blue Dragon...'

Sarlayan has heard about Teligosa's name and her related deeds from the barrage ~lightnovelpub.net~ It is said that this blue dragon princess has inherited the strange xp of the blue dragon clan, and is very sensitive to the male blue dragons in the clan. Not interested, chose a human paladin Jorad as a partner in the future.

Oh, by the way, Teligosa is nominally the fiancée of Kalecgos, the war scum.

...although neither of these two have the slightest interest in each other.

"Hiss~"

Sharlayan always felt that the blue dragon princess looked at him a little strangely, as if a hunter had found his prey.

【Grass, could it be that Sharlayan is being targeted by Teligosa? Jollard was crying in the toilet. 】

[If you want to live a decent life, you must always have some green on your head, calm down. 】

"Uh~"

Facing Teligosa's strange eyes, Sharlayan bit the bullet and asked: "I have something important to ask Her Majesty the Red Dragon Queen Alexstrasza, Your Royal Highness, please tell me, is Your Majesty still in Wyrmrest Temple? ?”
