Live Streaming: Azeroth

"Um……"

After listening to Sarlayan's detailed narration from beginning to end, not to mention Fandral who was frowning and lost in thought, Vereesa, who knew the inside story for the first time, also showed a surprised and stunned expression.

"Queen Azshara? Is the figure in the legend of the ancient night empire really still alive? How did she survive to this day?"

Sharlayan spread his hands and shrugged towards Vereesa: "What's so strange? How old do you think Malfurion and Tyrande are?"

"No, no, it's completely different."

Vereesa's head shook like a rattle: "I remember you said before that the reason why night elves can have eternal life is not because of their innate racial specialties, but because of the dragon kings' respect for the world tree Nordrassil. bless."

"That's right."

Fandral finally recovered from his contemplation, took Vereesa's topic and explained to her: "Without Nordrassil's blessing, the lifespan of the night elves would not be much different from that of your high elves. At most, it will be 3000-4000 years."

【at most……】

[that is...]

[Three or four thousand years! 】

[Longevity species' concept of time is capricious. 】

[? So far, why are you still surprised? Doesn't Xiao Sa also have the eternal lifespan endowed by the blood of the dragon? 】

[That's different, Xiao Sa grew up little by little under our own eyes, and his current natural age is only in his 20s, which is far from being comparable to those old monsters who have lived for tens of thousands of years at every turn. 】

During the heated discussion on the barrage, Sarlayan did not pay attention to them, but continued to listen to Fandral's explanation as the party concerned.

"Queen Azshara is known as the Light of Light, the Queen of Destiny of the night elves. Don't be misled by Tyrande's history books."

Fandral said sarcastically: "Queen Azshara did make a huge mistake at the end of her reign. No one can forgive this, but this cannot conceal the great achievements she made in the expansion of the Dark Night Empire in the early years. .”

"It was under the leadership of Queen Azshara that the national strength of the Night Empire reached an unprecedented peak."

"We have conquered almost every inch of Azeroth. Even the mighty Zandalari trolls can only shy away from the Night Empire. That's why the wild demigods on Mount Hyjal look up to the night elves." One glance."

Vereesa looked at Fandral, who praised Azshara, with question marks in her mind: "Aren't you a member of the Council of the Night Republic? It's probably not appropriate to promote Azshara, the ex-empire queen who has passed away, right? "

Fandral curled his lips indifferently: "What are you afraid of? I am a person who speaks out like this, and there is no one else here. I don't believe that Tyrande can install eyeliner in my home."

"Azshara has merits and demerits in her life. Her crime of incurring the Burning Legion cannot be easily forgiven, but at the same time, her efforts and sweat for the development and growth of the Night Empire should not be buried by subsequent crimes."

This is why Sharlayan chose to find Fandral as a guarantor.

Among the top leaders of the Night Republic, Tyrande, who had suffered "humiliation" at the hands of Azshara, hated her the most. She even went so far as to whitewash history and obscure Azshara's many achievements, fabricating "unofficial history" to tarnish her image.

Malfurion can stand on a more objective and neutral standpoint, but as the speaker of the parliament representing the Republic of Night, he can't deny that Tyrande "fine-tuned" in order to maintain the legitimacy of the Luna Church and the Druid Sect. past history.

The Shadowsong siblings have a neutral view of Azshara, but neither of them is the kind of person who likes to jump out and speak out.

Fandral Staghelm is a rare "honest man" among the top leaders of the Night Republic who dares to express his neutral views, and he is not worried about offending Tyrande because of this... Anyway, he has already offended Tyrande severely in the previous 10,000 years.

From a more utilitarian point of view, if the Naga of Azshara can be pulled from N'Zoth's side, this increase and decrease can greatly weaken N'Zoth's strength, which in turn will strengthen his own combat effectiveness.

Fandral is definitely not stupid to be able to act as the chairman of the Cenarion Council when Malfurion is busy with the affairs of the Emerald Dream. He knows how to make a rational choice.

After bowing his head and thinking for a while, Fandral stared at Sharlayan's eyes solemnly and asked, "Can you make sure that Azshara won't play tricks in this cooperation?"

"In case she betrays us temporarily and sells us to N'Zoth..."

Sharlayan shook his head and said: "Actually, you should know it yourself. Azshara, who is arrogant by nature, is not the kind of person who will break the contract temporarily."

"I have had face-to-face contact with her, and her obsession with restoring the shape of the night elf does exist."

"A beauty-loving and self-admiring person like her is destined to be unable to tolerate continuing to maintain that ugly Naga form after gaining hope."

"When I was summoned for an interview, Azshara used illusions to maintain her original night elf posture throughout the entire process."

"But a fake is a fake after all. She is still a Naga with three tails in essence, and she knows this very well in her heart."

"Hmm..." Fandral said thoughtfully: "According to Azshara's request, there are two key points she wants to guarantee."

"One is to allow the entire Naga clan to have the opportunity to restore the shape of the night elves, and the other is to allow the high elves who have returned to their original form to obtain a base for survival after breaking away from N'Zoth's control."

Sharlayan nodded and said: "According to Azshara herself, she already has some ideas about the second goal. It is precisely to achieve this goal that she did not hesitate to sign a non-aggression agreement with us to obtain the tidal wave." stone."

Fandral sighed softly: "But Azshara probably didn't expect that the Naga controlled by N'Zoth would suddenly launch a violent attack on Estorante Port."

"If you hadn't been running around to investigate, this scapegoat would probably have been pinned on Azshara's head, further deteriorating the relationship between the night elves and Naga."

"Huh~"

After straightening out his thoughts, Fandral rubbed his cheeks with his big rough hands that often worked.

"I guess I know what's going on."

"In short, you need to use my status as a high-ranking Cenarion Council to provide guarantees for Alfa to call Druids to join the joint research, right?"

Sharlayan: "That's right."

"If the after-the-fact research project comes to light, you are likely to be implicated and questioned by Tyrande Whisperwind, who was hysterical after learning of Azshara's return."

"Oh~"

Fandral snorted coldly through his nasal cavity: "If I had been afraid of her, I wouldn't have been fighting against her for the country's development line back then."

"Don't look at my teacher's obedience to Tyrande in small matters, but when it comes time to make a major decision, I believe he will be able to make the most correct and rational decision as always."

"Snapped!"

After making up his mind, Fandral patted his knee heavily: "I will be the guarantor! As long as it helps weaken N'Zoth's strength, what does it matter if I personally recite the name? It's not the first time anyway."

Sharlayan knew that Fandral was talking about Andashir.

Due to their different philosophies, Tyrande has always been at odds with Fandral Staghelm, who acts as Malfurion's agent to lead the druid sect.

After finally catching Fandral making a big mistake in planting Andashir, he should not be caught in the dark.

However, with Malfurion's personal guarantee, Fandral still survived the crisis of being almost beaten to the end, and still sat firmly in the seat of acting Cenarion Council chairman.

"Hey~"

Fandral looked up out of the window, and his eyes seemed to pass through the vast distance between the two places, and fell on the Grizzly Hills in the east of Northrend.

Andrassil's wreck, Vordrassil, still remains on that piece of land, and the severed tree stump has become a home for furbolgs to live and work in peace.

"The reason why I volunteered to lead the pioneering team is that the Sholazar Basin really has great development value, and on the other hand..."

"I am a person who refuses to admit defeat. Wherever I fall, I should stand up."

Fandral said with a firm expression: "I still think that planting the tree of life to delay the spread of the ancient god's root system was not a wrong decision, but I was a little too hasty at the time and ignored many details in the planting process."

"When the pioneering process of the Sholazar Basin stabilizes, I plan to plant another Tree of Life in the heart of the central river."

Fandral's eyes flickered: "This time, what I want to plant is no longer the world tree with too deep roots, but the miracle tree that has been improved many times by the Cenarion Council-AcandorΩ. "

Sharlayan: "...what the hell name?"
