Sarean didn't know much about the timeline of the Shadow Realm.

At this point in time, both the Blighted Realm Zlos and the Hellpit Abyss were far from being born, and the death subplane that had long been subordinate to Sarean had been temporarily banned, and there was no other way to the Shadow Realm for a while.

However, Saljan didn't plan to visit the Shadow Realm in the ancient times tens of thousands of years ago, he just needed to deal with the guy who stole the soul in Azeroth.

One thing to say, although Salian and Valilla guessed that Denasius was behind it, they didn't have any evidence in their hands, and they just subconsciously threw the black cauldron on the head of the most trouble-making-stirring stick.

After calming down and thinking further, Salaan told Valera about another of his counterintuitive guesses.

"Is it possible that in this era, Djovar has not been banished to the Abyss, and it is not the-stirring stick Denasius who infiltrates Azeroth to cause trouble, but the arbitrator Zoval who is in a period of confusion?"

"Zhovar...... Valeera muttered, "why do you think it's him?" ”

The next stop for the two of them will venture into Cthun's territory.

Unlike the water elemental territory and the more peaceful central region between the two Old Gods forces, Cthun is fighting the Titans army led by Odin and other guardians with all his might, and he knows with his ass that there will definitely be no peace there.

"It's just a whim, and to be honest, it's a possibility, but it's a low probability."

On the way south, Sarjan explained to Valeera, "Djovar wasn't born with a backbone, before being defeated by the other Eternals and thrown into the Abyss, he was the arbiter of the Eternal City of Olibos, tasked with reviewing all souls that entered the Shadow Realm. ”

"In other words, Zoval must have struggled and hesitated for a while before deciding to blacken, and maybe he would have come to Azeroth for inspiration."

Valera nodded and said, "It's not impossible, I've heard the Winter Queen say that the Zovar, who is still the arbiter, foresaw some kind of threat and entered into a ...... How so? Hysterical state? ”

"He believed that the rules created by the First Born were flawed, and after convincing his colleagues to no avail, he tried to seize the mark of the other Eternals and enter the tomb of the First Born to rewrite the rules, but in the end, he was banished by the Four Eternals and imprisoned in the Abyss."

After Valera finished telling the story from the perspective of the Winter Queen, she asked Sarian curiously, "So what is the threat that Zhovar sees?" I always feel ...... He seems to have heard of this depraved pattern somewhere. ”

"Heh~" Sarian shrugged his shoulders with a smile: "Of course you have heard, is Zovar's experience very similar to Sargeras?" ”

"Anticipating threats, trying to unite fellow citizens, and being rejected after blackening and fighting, this TM is almost exactly the same as Sargeras's depraved process."

Valera was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and smiled, "But the result is different, Sargeras succeeded in destroying the Pantheon, but Zoval was defeated and imprisoned. ”

Saryan smiled meaningfully: "Since their experiences are so similar, but the ending is different, then...... May I venture to guess that the so-called threat foreseen by the Warden is also related to the Void Maharaja that Sargeras has been on guard against? ”

"Hmm......" Valilla frowned and thought for a moment, "Maybe, but unfortunately we don't have any evidence, and with our current strength and vision, it's still too early to consider the threat of the Void Lord." ”

"Indeed." Sarjan sighed helplessly: "Don't talk about the Void Lord, we can't even beat her lackey Ancient God, and there is no point in thinking so far, it only adds to the troubles." ”

"After all, the road to a bright future is to move forward step by step in a down-to-earth manner, no matter what considerations those big people have, we can only do what we can first."

……

As soon as they left the territory of the water elemental, Sarian and Valeera, who had gone fairly smoothly, immediately received a wave of attacks from the Chira Worms.

With the current strength of the two of them, it is difficult for these insects who are generally only elite-level to pose a threat to them, and no matter how many they pile up, it is meaningless.

In order to save time, and to avoid the battle from dragging on for too long and attracting more follow-up enemies, Sarian directly turned back into the dragon prototype, and cleared the field in an instant with a sip of charged three-color salt soda.

When the Qila insects in other areas realized that something was wrong through the sudden disappearance of the large number of link signals in the hive network, and hurried from their own defense zone to the scene, all they saw was a huge charred crater in front of them, and nothing else was left.

In today's war years, it is normal for both sides to encounter each other in the field.

The hive network is indeed convenient in terms of information transmission, and the accident that occurred in the border area was quickly learned of by the high-ranking Qila worms sitting in the center.

However, this loss of troops did not attract much attention from the decision-making level under Cthun's command, and most people thought that this hundred-man team had just encountered a Titan Guardian-level enemy, and the most likely was to bump into Odin.

Before he was awarded the title of chief manager, Odin had already made his mark on the battlefield.

This brave warrior with a flaming beard wields the power of light.

Unlike the light used by Naru, Odin's power of light is more intense in its manifestation, like a blazing sun, burning those who dare to oppose him to ashes.

Judging from the blackened marks at the scene, most of the high-level leaders of the Worm Pullers agreed with this speculation.

Salaen and Valilla are unaware of any speculation about Cthun's forces.

After dealing with the unexpected scout team, the two of them changed their previous high-speed pace and slowed down and began to investigate the cause behind the disappearance of the soul in Cthun's territory.

As he progressed along the way, under the pressure of the environment, Sarren learned the illusion spell without a teacher, and adjusted the appearance of himself and Valeera.

To outsiders, they were just two shorter faceless beings.

In fact, it is not accurate to say that he is self-taught, as early as a few years ago, after Sarren was activated by Malygos to activate the blue dragon bloodline, he instilled a large number of practical small spells in his head.

You can leave it at once, but at least prepare it so that you may need it in the future.

As it turned out, Stella Gossa was right in her foresight.

Under the cover of transfiguration spells, Salaan and Valera passed through several villages and towns under the name of the Dark Empire unimpeded.

The local inhabitants were a little strange to the two Faceless Beings who spoke Chira, but considering that Chila was also one of the official languages of the Dark Empire, the people of the Dark Empire did not take this minor issue to heart.

As the two of them descended deeper into the rear of Cthun's forces, they finally got some useful information.

"This is the village that the high-ranking insect man mentioned, right?"

Based on information they had obtained in a recent city, the two arrived outside a small village that had long been abandoned, and Valilla immediately began to cautiously investigate around.

As a backlight blade elite in charge of intelligence transmission and covert investigations, this kind of clue-hunting work is Valeera's forte.

With the help of Sarjan, who has a powerful sense of energy flow, Valera soon finds some strange traces that should not belong to the Dark Empire.

"It's ......"

Wearing special gloves, Valera carefully wrenched up a small cloud of dust from a backlit floor.

"Sarjan, you can come and have a look, too."

"Huh? Did you find anything? ”

Sarjan, who was outside in the wind, walked briskly, and at a glance he saw the green soil that had long since dried up in Valeira's hands.

"If I'm not mistaken, it's a ...... Seems to be a preservative? ”

Along the way, the two obtained a lot of information related to the disappearance of the soul.

Some of the victims disappeared only with their souls, and their bodies remained there, but there were places like this small village, where people and souls disappeared without a trace in just a few days.

Based on the results of the investigation and sampling, Valera discovered a pattern, that it was the Zara Worm who left the body and lost the soul, and the Faceless Ones who disappeared with the body.

After analysis, Valeera came to a conclusion.

The people behind the ghost should be concerned about the hive thinking network of the Worm Pullers, and they don't want to be caught by them, all of them just steal their souls unknowingly.

The Faceless do not have this convenient function of connecting the whole clan mentally, and the communication between villages and towns needs to be achieved through more primitive physical contact.

When the surrounding neighbors discovered the anomaly in the small village, the village was long gone, as if the whole world had evaporated overnight.

"Heh~ The fox's tail is finally revealed."

After checking the dryness of the preservative, Sarian said thoughtfully: "At least one month has passed, and it is difficult for this small village to find more useful clues for such a long incident, and we will continue to investigate further." ”

"I have a hunch that we're not far from that guy hiding behind his back."
