Live Streaming: Azeroth

Saying goodbye to the somewhat unconfident Staghelmet, Sharlayan and Valeera headed south along the avenue of Valsharah.

Because they wanted to find clues related to Garrod along the way, the two did not rush at full speed, but slowed down the pace of action by stopping and stopping along the way.

The closer to the south of Val'sharah, the thinner the foliage of Sharadrassil, and the less greenery around it.

After crossing a sandy beach, the two officially entered the Azsuna area.

Azsuna used to be the academic center of the Night Empire. The well-known Narthalas Arcane Academy was located in the center of Azsuna, attracting a large number of students to study here.

But the splendor and prosperity of Azsuna were burned down 10,000 years ago, and all that remains today are ruins.

Through the ruins of the gorgeous buildings that have not been completely destroyed, Sharlayan and Valeera can vaguely see their former elegance.

Due to the impact of the Earthquake, Azsuna's land plate was severely damaged, consisting of a heavily flooded main island and two isolated sub-islands.

Narthalas Academy is still located in the center of Azsuna, but most of this former academic sanctuary of the Night Empire has sunk underwater.

Among the two sub-islands, the one located in the south is the Watch Island mentioned by Maiev before. This is the headquarters of the watchmen, where many dangerous demons are imprisoned.

Including Maiev, all the guardians return to Watch Island regularly every year, each explaining the latest situation of the prisoners they guard over the past year.

The other secondary island, Farona, is located on the west side of the main island of Azsuna. It has long been uninhabited and has been deserted since 10,000 years ago.

According to the barrage, there are very few living people in the Azsuna area, but there are many ancient ghosts who cannot get rid of the curse.

The last governor of the Azsuna region was named Prince Farondis. Because he was dissatisfied with Azshara's practice of indulging demons in slaughtering the people, he raised troops in the early days of the War of the Ancients to try to overthrow Azshara's decision.

Unfortunately, because of the traitor's betrayal, Farondis' plan was exposed, and was easily suppressed by Azshara without even a splash.

As punishment, Azshara personally cast a curse on the Azsuna rebels who participated in the rebellion.

All rebels cannot be freed after death, and are bound to this land in the form of souls for eternity.

If you want to find people in Azsuna, it is necessary to establish a good relationship with these local snake souls.

But the problem also lies here. These ghosts who have been cursed and tortured for 10,000 years are not easy to get along with. One might even be regarded as an intruder and hostile.

The barrage gave Sharlayan an idea. He could first find a way to lure Prince Farondis wandering in the wilderness of Azsuna, and use him as a breakthrough point to formally establish contact with the night watchmen of Azsuna.

Of course, this is easy to say, but there are still many problems to be overcome in actual implementation.

Just like the tens of thousands of years of conflict between Prince Farondis and the Night Watchman, Sharlayan must first find a way to resolve the confrontation between them caused by misunderstanding.

"Um?"

Having just entered the desolate Azsuna region, Sharlayan and Valeera looked up into the distance at the same time.

A dragon-shaped creature with turquoise scales streaked across the sky and disappeared into a forest glowing with blue-purple arcane light.

"Blue dragon?" Sharlayan tilted his head in confusion: "Did I read it wrong? How could there be a blue dragon here?"

Valeera shook her head to dispel Sharlayan's suspicion: "You read that right, I saw it too, it seems to be a young dragon."

【Ah... Speaking of which, we seem to have forgotten to mention this. 】

Sharlayan raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter?"

[Blue Wing Habitat. 】

[There is a miniature blue dragon residence in the Azsuna area, which was opened up by the old blue dragon Senegos. 】

[Only he is an adult dragon in the habitat, the others are young dragons and young dragons, and there are some dragonmen who are responsible for taking care of dragon eggs. 】

Sarlayan unconsciously opened his eyes wide after hearing the news: "Why didn't you tell me such important information earlier?"

"The decline of the blue dragon family is precisely due to the lack of new generations. If there are enough young dragons, young dragons and dragon eggs in the blue wing habitat, it should be able to greatly alleviate the inheritance pressure faced by the blue dragon family."

[Well... I really didn't think of this question before. After all, we are not dragons, so we will definitely consider things from the standpoint of mortals first. 】

【Besides, you went to Azsuna on a temporary basis. We haven't had time to adjust the plan yet. We agreed to go to Broken Beach first? 】

[Talon Gorefiend: Am I so useless? 】

Sharlayan complained angrily: "Okay, my fault, I didn't say hello in advance."

"So what should we do now? Go directly to the Blue Wing Habitat to find Senegos? What's his personality? He won't just spray his face with dragon breath, right?"

[That would not be the case, the magic net in the Azsuna area is very disordered, and the energy supply cannot keep up at all. 】

[In order to ensure that his offspring can get sufficient energy supply during the growth process, Senegos stopped the arcane magic power supplied to him. 】

【This caused him to be in a very weak state, and he could only lie down in the pool of magic power to relieve his symptoms. Unless he had to, Senegos would never waste his magic power. 】

"Is the magic net disordered..."

Sharlayan is a warrior and a druid, and has no reliance on arcane magic.

But he also has a level 5 ranger at any rate. As a high elf ranger, it is no problem to perceive arcane energy.

Just like what the barrage said, the arcane energy in the Azsuna area is extremely chaotic, and only a few areas are relatively stable.

The arcane disturbance of the riot could be felt to the east of the junction where the two were now.

Sharlayan used an analogy that people from other worlds are more accustomed to.

Under normal conditions, the magic net in an area is like a natural gas pipeline buried underground.

These pipes are stable and controllable as long as they are not damaged by external forces.

Mortal mages of all races cannot absorb the magic power in the pipeline independently, and must rely on the help of some special means.

For example, Dalaran's exclusive technology for intercepting magic network nodes.

Strictly speaking, the Sunwell also used a similar method, but Dath'Remar used the well water from the Well of Eternity as a medium to super double the outflow of magic power from the node.

Unlike mortals, blue dragons can directly absorb pure arcane magic power from within without destroying the structure of the pipe itself.

Provided the pipeline itself remains intact.

The current situation in Azsuna is as if the underground gas pipeline has failed and is in a state of gas leakage.

Moreover, these overflowing arcane energies are raw energies that have not been filtered by the magic net, and cannot be directly inhaled for physical use.

Don't ask what will happen if you smoke it, you will be responsible for the consequences.

The Blue Wing Habitat is one of the few areas that can barely maintain the stability of the magic net, but Senegos alone can only protect the one-acre three-point land around him, and it is impossible to expand outward. up.

Valeera asked suspiciously: "Why is the magic power environment here so bad? Heaven and earth should not cause damage to the magic net, right?"

"This is Azshara's handwriting."

A strange male voice suddenly sounded from behind the two of them, and Sarean, who was distracted to communicate with the barrage, was shocked, and hurriedly took a step forward to turn around, and put his right hand on the hilt of Quel Sela's sword.

"who?!"

Valeera, who reacted faster, had already drawn out two daggers, lowered her center of gravity and entered a stealth state, ready to attack at any time.

"Don't get excited! I have no ill intentions towards you."

The person who came was a ghost with a translucent body. He tried his best to put on a friendly smile on his face, and raised his hands holding the staff above his head to show that he was not hostile.

Sharlayan looked at the ghost, his eyes flickered slightly.

"Valeera, wait a minute."

The unknown visitor suddenly felt a bone-piercing chill, and Valeera had already circled behind him at some point, with a sharp dagger resting on the ghost's neck.

Sharlayan did not relax his vigilance completely, his hand was still on the hilt of the sword, maintaining a posture ready to attack at any time.

"Ghost, what's your name? Why are you talking to us?"

The unknown ghost showed a wry smile: "My name is Farodis, I used to be in Azsuna... No, I'm just an ordinary resident of Azsuna."

"Sorry to interrupt your topic suddenly, I just sent it out of feeling."

'Farodis? This guy is the former governor of Azsuna? '

Sharlayan continued to speak without moving his expression: "You said that Azshara caused the disorder of the magic net in Azsuna? What exactly is going on?"

"That's a long story."

Farondis suggested with a smile: "The wilderness of Azsuna is not safe, why not... let's change places first?"
