28. Children of the Night and the Elves--Watching the Brothers of the Paws for the Baby [3/16]
When the whole family migrated to the ruins of Zahnar in Azsuna, the first decision made by Grand Magister Elisande and her think tanks was to ask for support from the outside world.
For a spellcaster like the Grand Magister, she could easily sense that the magic under these ruins was not enough for the Nightborne to survive for a long time, and the demons and evil ones entrenched in Azsuna were not good either.
Although the neighbors are not willing to rely on others, facing the cold reality now, the Grand Magister has to temporarily put aside his inner pride and dignity.
If the city of Suramar is still there, even if the Eye of Aman'Thul is taken away, the 10,000 years of magic stored in the Night Well will be enough for all the children of the night to enjoy it until the concentration of magic in the world rises enough for the night to
To the extent that her son can survive, but now that the Nightwell has been destroyed, Elisande's biggest trump card has been torn away. No matter how wise she is, she cannot conjure magic out of thin air to raise her people.
The Nightborne sent the first three waves of messengers to Mount Hyjal of the Night Elves, Elre'Thalas in the Wilds of Feralas, and the City of Lordaeron in the Eastern Continent. Elisande sent the most familiar messenger among the Nightborne.
Two nobles who are good at diplomacy, Ms. Lilith Yuejun, and Mrs. Avasta, and finally Melandus, the political advisor of the Grand Magister.
These three are the most suitable messengers among the generally arrogant Children of the Night who know how to communicate with others. They also entrust the hope of the Children of the Night in the future, so they perform their diplomatic missions diligently, but when they return to the ruins of Zahnar
, but failed to bring back even a single piece of good news for the Grand Magister and his people.
At the top of the tower in the ruins of Zahnar's magic network, facing the rulers of the Children of the Night civilization, the three envoys looked haggard and dusty. Obviously, their diplomatic journey was not pleasant.
"Say it."
The Grand Magister Elisande, who was sitting on the stone seat, was still wearing his gorgeous magic robe and the Grand Magister's complicated and exquisite magic crown. He looked full of majesty, but from Elisande's side
It can be seen from her thin face and dim eyes that the great mage has not been happy during this period of time. She looked at the three envoys below and said softly:
"Tell me what you saw, what you heard, and the answers you got. Don't hide anything."
"As you command, ma'am."
Among the three messengers, Melandus, the political advisor most trusted by Elisande, took a step forward. This man of the Night had a handsome appearance. He was wearing a white robe and a magic sword at his waist. He looked talented.
This consultant is not a showman or a man's favorite who serves the Grand Magister. It can be seen from the calluses on the tiger's mouth of his palm that this consultant is also a master of swordsmanship.
"At the order of you and other elders, I went to Mount Hyjal on behalf of the Nightborne and met with the three leaders of the night elves, namely Ms. Tyrande, Illidan of the Stormrage family, and Gargan of the Shadowsong family.
Lord, they are now commanding the kingdom of the night elves in a three-pronged manner. When I went there, they were engaged in a war against demons in the northern territory of Kalimdor."
"Hey, a group of traitors have also imitated others and established a country."
After hearing what the advisor said, the magic swordsman Aluriel made a disdainful sneer. Although she was young, her parents were both nobles of the Elf Empire, and her family had always been loyal to Queen Azshara, so in
From Aluriel's point of view, Queen Azshara did something wrong back then, but Tyrande, the Stormrage brothers, and Jarod Shadowsong followed Lord Ravencrest to rebel, which was treason in itself.
Betrayal.
Melandus ignored Aluriel's sarcasm. He was well aware of the venomous character of this female magic swordsman, but he also knew that Aluriel's appearance here meant that this venomous swordsman was no longer in power.
He was not an idiot, so the consultant simply introduced the current situation of the night elves, and then turned to the really important things. He introduced the Grand Magister:
"According to what I saw and heard, I heard that after the War of the Ancients, in order to reward the night elves for saving the world, the dragons gave the night elves a world tree, which could allow the night elves to achieve true immortality.
Immortal and never aging. Unfortunately, that tree was burned by the undead commander in the war between the elves and the undead a few years ago. The night elves have now lost their immortality, and they are also undergoing the transformation of their civilization system."
"In the face of the Nightborne's request for assistance, Ms. Tyrande thought about it for a day, and she asked me to tell you and the elders that she is willing to accept the Nightborne into Mount Hyjal, but she has two requirements!"
"explain!"
The great mage rubbed her forehead and said:
"Speak out, don't hide it! This is related to the future of the Children of the Night, and all wise people need to make a decision together."
"Yes."
Advisor Melandus nodded, then he took out a scroll from his waist and read:
"First of all, the Nightborne must convert all of them to the faith of the Moon God, and be willing to dedicate everything to the supreme will of the Moon God Elune. They must also stop their endless pursuit of magic and learn to use the water from the Moon Well that is full of the power of the Moon God.
To satisfy the demonic addiction in your heart.”
"Elune's faith?"
The corner of Demon Swordsman Aluriel's mouth twitched, and the young Demon Swordsman muttered in a low voice:
"Sounds good, but it's a pity that the children of the night are all atheists"
"I'm not done yet! Madam!"
Advisor Melandus glared at the magic swordsman dissatisfied, and the latter shrugged, closed his mouth, and signaled the advisor to continue.
"The second requirement is that if the Children of the Night want to enter Mount Hyjal, they need to select people who cannot control their addiction to magic from the people every once in a while and send them to Illidari's training base to become demon hunters.
Defending the faith of Elune and fighting demons on the battlefield of the stars is also the second way for night elves to "cure" their demonic addiction besides the moonwell."
After Melandus finished speaking, Grand Magister Elisande did not make a decision immediately. Arcanist Thalyssra sitting next to her asked:
"Demon hunter? A form similar to Illidan Stormrage? Ten thousand years ago, I heard that this is a very painful process?"
"Yes, Thalyssra Arcanist."
The consultant recalled the scene he saw at the Illidari training base in Mount Hyjal. He raised his eyebrows and said bluntly:
"The transformation process can no longer be described as painful. It is simply destroying the soul and body, and the transformation rate is very low. If it cannot resist the erosion of the devil's will, then the person being transformed will lose their mind and become a monster, and then
In addition, I roughly figured out the purpose of those high elf slave catchers in capturing the people who were exiled by us."
"I saw a large number of Nightborne demon hunters in the Illidari Legion, which means those slave catchers were probably hired by the night elves!"
"What the hell!"
This news made the elders widen their eyes, and the magic swordsman Aluriel even cursed:
"I knew those damn low-class people wouldn't be so kind! They couldn't accept us at all, they just used us as cannon fodder! We can't agree to them, the Great Magister, this is sending us and our people away
Into a dead end!"
"Yes, the night elves have lost their noble tradition. They live in trees and let the darkness in their hearts escape, just like dirty beasts. According to legend, Tyrande, who has always been kind, can actually allow this
Bad things happen, and it seems that the high priest is not a kind person!"
The arcanist Thalyssra, who has feelings for every people, also said to Elisande with an angry face:
"The Night Elves are not the home of the Nightborne!"
"Um."
The Grand Magister nodded, and her eyes fell on the two ladies behind the consultant. They were Ms. Lilith Yuejun, who was going to visit the High Elf Sun Dynasty, and Cynder, who was going to visit the city of Lordaeron.
Pulling the Highborne's Lady Avasta.
Seeing the Grand Magister asking about their experiences, Lilith Yuejun, a famous socialite among the upper echelons of the Children of the Night, brushed her hair and said:
"According to your and the elders' orders, I went to the Feralas Wilderness on the Kalimdor continent, to the ancient city of Elre'Thalas that originally belonged to the Sindra upper elves, and successfully met with the young sun.
King Kael'thas Sunstrider, his ancestor is Dath'Remar. Sunstrider, you should have an impression of him."
"Well, Dath'Remar, I do remember him."
Grand Magister Elisande nodded, a trace of nostalgia flashed in her eyes, and she said:
"That is one of my most outstanding students and a very charming and decisive elf noble."
"Yes, Grand Magister, the story of Dath'Remar is very grand. I have seen his complete manuscript in the library of the high elves. In the manuscript, there are also memories about you. Of course, we can discuss this a little later.
Let’s talk about it later.”
Lilith Yuejun blinked at her good friend and bestie, Chief Arcanist Thalyssra, and then reported her work in a serious voice.
"Sun King Kael'thas is a very graceful young man. He entertained me with a banquet of the highest standard. During the banquet, I conveyed your goodwill to him. His Majesty Kael'thas did not hesitate for too long.
, he said that his people are also suffering from magic addiction, so he is willing to work with you to solve the mystery of magic addiction, but regarding the migration of people, the Sun King declined our request."
Speaking of this, Lilith Yuejun sighed, and she said to the Grand Mage and the elders:
"I can actually understand His Majesty Kael'thas's decision, because the situation faced by the high elves is actually the same as ours. The magic power in the ancient city of Elre'Thalas is already very difficult to supply to the people of the high elves. I have seen it with my own eyes.
, that city only releases magic power during three periods of the day to satisfy the high elves’ magic addiction, which shows that they do not have enough magic power in their hands.”
Yuejun raised her head, looked at the great mage, and said:
"And to be honest, even if Kael'thas is willing to accept us, I don't recommend that you take the people to Feralas. According to our people's thirst for magic, the magic of Elre'Thalas cannot satisfy us at all, and even
It is not as pure as the magic in the ruins of Zachnar. The magic in that city seems to have a faint taste of evil energy. Long-term drinking may lead to unknown results."
"Is that so?"
A trace of regret appeared on the Grand Magister's tired face, and she shook her head:
"That's really a pity. The Quel'dorei elves are the most similar to us Nightborne. From their concepts of survival to their understanding of magic, they are more suitable for us than the closed and theocratic Night Elves."
"I still think we should take that city!"
Demon swordsman Aluriel said stubbornly:
"Even if the magic power in that city is very thin, it is enough to reduce our current pressure. We can transfer some of the people there."
"No! Ms. Oruriel!"
Lilith Yuejun refuted the militants' statement and said seriously:
"I don't suggest that we start a war, because I saw with my own eyes the army of the Queldorei elves, which is an army armed with steel and magic. They also have an army of constructs that are as powerful as us, and they are as good at magic as we are.
, there is also a complete ranger force, their numbers are greater than ours, and they also have a war covenant with the human empire. If a war really starts, we have almost no chance of winning."
"War is the last option!"
Grand Magister Elisande waved her hand. She was already disgusted with Aluriel's restlessness. She motioned for Lilith to step back, and then set her sights on the last messenger.
Mrs. Avasta, who came from the most noble Avasta family in the Children of Night, stepped forward. This graceful-looking aristocratic lady has extremely strong political skills. Over the past thousands of years, she has firmly held the power of the family.
And this time, she also completed her diplomatic mission outstandingly.
"Honorable Archmage and elders, compared to my two companions, my consultation with the Sindra elves in Lordaeron City went relatively smoothly."
"After being expelled from Elrethalas, the Sindra elves accepted the goodwill of the "Defia Federation". Their entire family migrated to the eastern continent and became a member of the Federation. As far as I can see
scenario, I think that if we have to choose a dependent future, then the Federation will be our best choice."
Mrs. Avasta said seriously and methodically:
"First of all, the concentration of magic power in the city of Lordaeron is extremely high, even higher than the magic power before the War of the Ancients. Although there is also the problem of evil energy pollution, relying on the purification circle of the Syndra elves is enough to satisfy the needs of our people.
The most important thing is that the magic power they possess comes from mutated magic nodes, which is inexhaustible, just like a small dark night well."
"Secondly, the federal government is very free. As long as the Children of the Night swear to join the federation and abide by the federal constitution and various laws, we can quickly integrate into that political system and get the help we need. The federal ambassador in Lordaeron is also very welcoming
The Children of the Night sent envoys to consult with them."
"Finally, regarding the problem of magic addiction, the Sindra elves have also found a way to deal with it. The 13 lords who currently command Sindra have all accepted the blood transformation of Sarain and have become new forms that take into account both immortality and power. Compared with evil spirits,
Being able to transform into a demon hunter, or a moonwell, perhaps Sarain is the form that is truly suitable for the Nightborne."
"And just when I left, I heard that a special branch of elves, the void elves who call themselves Rondorei, also appeared in the Federation. They draw the power of the void to eliminate the scourge of magic addiction. Although it sounds like
It’s very dangerous, but since Landore can become a real civilization, it means that maybe they have mastered the means to tame the void.”
"Oh? That sounds like a perfect choice."
A glimmer of light flashed in the eyes of the astrologer Elder Etaeus. He looked at Mrs. Avasta and said:
"But I know very well that everything cannot be perfect, so what is the biggest problem for us in the Federation?"
This question made Mrs. Avasta's expression change. She sighed and said to the others:
"Yes, like the first two envoys, my diplomacy has also encountered a bad problem. Although I think the Federation is the best choice for the Children of the Night, if this problem cannot be solved, then we must not go there!"
"The biggest problem for us in the Federation is"
"There are no nobles there, and they don't allow complete racial autonomy."
