Chapter 933 Prelude to the Imperial Palace

Azshara's promise of absolution caught Sharlayan by surprise.

"Queen Azshara, do you mean that you know that what I'm going to say next may not be so pleasant to you?"

"Oh~"

Azshara smiled nonchalantly: "For so many years, the elves living on land have only heard the rhetoric that Tyrande drew up after the war."

"Even if there is no detailed investigation, I also know that they will not have any objective evaluation of me in determining the responsibility for the War of the Ancients."

As Azshara said, even the high elves who traveled to the eastern kingdom, in order to ensure the legitimacy of Dath'Remar's throne, it is impossible to deliberately praise Azshara, the legal king of all elves.

The history of the War of the Ancients collected in the Great Library of Quel'Thalas still follows the "official history" drafted by the Tyrande faction after the war.

Sharlayan grew up in Quel'Thalas, and when he was educated, he would naturally be guided by the bias left by the night elves in the history books.

And this history book compiled by the night elves will obviously not have a good evaluation of Queen Azshara who recruited the Burning Legion.

There was a flash of electricity in his mind, and Sarlayan asked meaningfully: "So, what was the truth back then, can Her Majesty the Queen explain it to me?"

Azshara waved her hand noncommittally: "Let's forget about these old things. Compared with looking back at the past, I think it's more important to look to the future."

"If you are really interested in the history of that year, after this conversation is over, I can ask Vaschi to take you to the Royal Library to look through the materials and see how the orthodox Dark Night Empire history book records that war."

"Let's get down to business."

Azshara sat upright again, and guided her with a hint of meaning: "Salayan Deep Shadow, you must have the courage to come to Nazjatar for the appointment, not just to talk about these old things. Right? You can speak up if you have something to say."

Sharlayan nodded knowingly: "Indeed, I have a lot of questions that I want to be answered by you personally, so let's mention a less sensitive topic first."

"The night watchmen in Azsuna have been punished for 10,000 years. I don't know if Her Majesty the Queen can forgive their treason and free the souls of those poor people."

"Azsuna?"

Azshara's golden eyes moved up slightly, as if thinking about the meaning behind Sharlayan's words.

"Ah~ You mean Farondis."

Azshara, who was stunned, said with a little playfulness: "This is your first question?"

"That's right, after ten thousand years, the treasonous crimes of Farodis and the boys should almost be paid for."

"As it happens, the tidal stone that cast the curse has returned to my hands. If they are willing to admit to me the mistakes they made back then, I can forgive their sins."

Sharlayan frowned slightly: "Must I admit my mistake?"

"That's right."

Azshara seemed to be pointing and said: "Farodis has long been an adult, and he must be responsible for the choices he made."

"Back then he launched an unplanned rebellion against me without a plan. As the Queen of the Night Empire, it is my duty to suppress the rebels. It is not his fault. Do you still have to blame me?"

There is one thing to say, Farondis' original intention is undoubtedly correct. He wants to force Azshara to reconsider the alliance with the Burning Legion by means of military advice.

But as Azshara said, Farondis's rebellion plan was too reckless. After one of the links went wrong, it soon fell into a situation of total collapse, and was easily suppressed by Azshara without any effort.

At that time, the upper echelon of the Night Empire was fighting fiercely with the Burning Legion, which had not yet revealed its true colors.

From Azshara's point of view, Farondis set off a rebellion at this juncture to tarnish the image of the Night Empire in front of future allies.

However, as a descendant who knows the details of the Burning Legion, Sharlayan will inevitably consider the issue from the standpoint of the defender of Azeroth.

In this respect, Farondis's motivation is correct, only the method of protest is obviously inappropriate.

Just when Sharlayan was about to refute Azshara's words, one of the bullet screens suddenly reminded him.

[Xiao Sa, don't get excited, there seems to be another mystery in Azshara's words. 】

Sharlayan swallowed back the words he was about to say: "What mystery?"

["If they are willing to admit to me the mistakes they made back then", this sentence did not mention what the mistakes were from the beginning to the end. 】

Sharlayan was startled: "This..."

"Does Azshara mean that as long as Farondis admits his mistakes to her personally, no matter what the mistakes he admits, she is willing to fulfill her promise to lift the curse?"

[At least that's how I interpret it, or maybe it's just that Azshara didn't say the whole thing. 】

[No, I think this is what Azshara intended. 】

Another barrage began to express his opinion.

[For a veteran politician like Azshara who has been in power for more than 15,000 years, it should be impossible for half-talks like this to give people excuses, unless she did it on purpose . 】

Sharlayan lowered his head and fell into deep thought: "Do you just need to admit your mistakes..."

Just as Sharlayan lowered his head, Azshara's eyes flashed a hint of admiration imperceptibly.

'The brain turns very fast, no wonder Inas boasted that her precious son is in the sky, but there is nothing on the earth, there is indeed something. '

"I see."

After a short thought, Sharlayan responded calmly: "I will pass on your words to the night watchmen of Azsuna without change. As for how they will reply... I am not sure."

Azshara nodded lightly, "Okay, let's stop this topic, next one."

After the first round of confrontation with the Riddler, Sharlayan raised his vigilance again. He didn't want to fall into Azshara's text trap again.

"second question."

Sharlayan narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked cautiously: "This is just my guess, and there is no evidence for it."

"Queen Azshara, the reason why you did not hesitate to make a promise not to invade the land but also to obtain the Tidal Stone, is it because you plan to use the power of this Pillar of Creation to destroy Nazjatar...or Zin Azhali Rising to the surface of the sea again?"

"oh?"

Azshara's playful gaze became sharper, and Sharlayan, who was locked by those golden eyes, felt like a mouse being targeted by a cat. All the muscles in his body tensed subconsciously, ready to be ejected at any time. slip.

"Oh~"

Azshara noticed Sharlayan's overreaction, and let out a chuckle to dissipate the aggressive aura.

"Don't be nervous, I promised to forgive your rude words, at least in this meeting, you don't have to worry about being convicted for your words."

"I'm curious, though."

Azshara looked into Sharlayan's eyes with great interest: "Where did you draw this inference?"

Sharlayan shrugged his shoulders and replied, "It's just a guess without evidence, so just take it as a whim."

"So? Did I guess right?"

Azshara smiled meaningfully: "The answer to this question is temporarily reserved. Do you have any other questions? Tell them all."

"Okay, now comes the last question."

Sharlayan took a deep breath, looked at Azshara solemnly, and focused on her deep golden eyes, intentionally ignoring the infinite charm she unconsciously exuded.

"Queen Azshara, I have asked Ms. Vashj this question before."

Vaschi, who was standing on the side of the throne, had a change of expression, obviously guessing what Sarlayan wanted to ask, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

Sharlayan stared at Azshara without hesitation and continued: "I heard that changing from a night elf to a naga was not out of your original intention, but a compromise you had to make due to the pressure of survival."

"I don't know if Her Majesty the Queen has considered how to transform back into a night elf from the distorted form bestowed by N'Zoth."

"I'm not referring to the illusion temporarily imposed by you and Ms. Vaschi, but the essential change of life."

The easy-going smile on Azshara's face disappeared, and the atmosphere in the hall also became stagnant.

Sharlayan gritted his teeth to resist the invisible pressure, still stubbornly looking directly into Azshara's eyes.

"Son of Inas."

After staring at each other for more than a minute, Azshara finally said in a deep voice: "The meaning behind your words... Could it be that you want to use this as an introduction to persuade me to completely abandon all contact with N'Zoth?"

Thanks to "Zi Feiyu, how would you know Yu Zhile" and "DevilCrying" for the reward.
