Chapter 248 Tai'anuo, the soul that can't rest in peace
In terms of strength, those who are weak are just a mob.
But this strange ethnic group formed later in life has a special ability that is superior to other branches of the elven races.
Magic perception.
After the underground magic network pipeline is opened, the withered spells occupying various magic network nodes in Suramar will be affected immediately.
With the arrival of a large number of magisters from the Moon Guard and Quel'Thalas, the reason why the Withered Ones dare not approach Shal'Alan has been revealed.
When Sarlayan, Farodin and others first arrived in Shal-Alan, the magic power in this magic network hub that had been abandoned for tens of thousands of years was very chaotic.
Although the magic power turbulence in the outside world will not affect Arcandor, who directly absorbs the energy of the magic network, the withered ones who are extremely sensitive to the flow of magic power will instinctively avoid dangerous areas in their eyes.
With the efforts of magisters such as Serana and Voretar, the chaotic magic that permeated Shal'Alan was gradually sorted out. The mages stationed here can directly use the magic that overflowed from the hub without the consent of the blue dragon.
Magic network energy.
This is certainly a good thing, but the chaotic environment of magic power has been repaired, which means that the withered magicians will no longer be afraid of Shal Ellan.
Once the underground magic network pipeline is opened, it will give a clear signal to the withered warriors all over Suramar.
The canteen is open for dinner.
Kael'thas held his chin with one hand and pondered for a moment: "Let's keep this plan for now, and wait for news about Faldorei's opposition."
As Serana said, opening the underground magic network pipeline is a double-edged sword, and you will cut yourself if you are not careful.
Kael'thas didn't want to take such a risk unless it was absolutely necessary. Playing it slow and steady was the right way to go.
While the Suramar region maintained relative peace for the time being, Sharlayan took Valeera and Stellagosa, who had returned to the team, to travel to Tyano.
As expected, this former high-level cemetery of Suramar was filled with a large number of highborne ghosts.
It is different from the irrational controlled heroic souls in Black Crow Keep, and it is also different from the nearly physical cursed ghosts in Azsuna.
The ghosts lingering in the Tenano region are just that... wraiths.
These ghosts are somewhere between awake and confused, retaining part of their memories of their lifetimes, but most of the time they are confused.
Most of them will not take the initiative to attack people passing by, but once someone breaks their inherent "life" way, these evil spirits will reveal their ferocious side.
"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust."
Standing in the center of Taiano, Sarlayan stood in the arranged magic circle and began to use necromancy to summon souls.
The innocent souls with less obsession were unconsciously attracted by the spell and subconsciously moved closer to the central square.
However, some ghosts with strong resentment were stimulated by the spell and showed strong aggression.
"Whoa!"
Valeera's daggers are covered with the power of dark shadows, and any spirit that dares to get close will have their souls torn apart by her double daggers.
Stella Gosa laid out a magic barrier more leisurely to ensure that a small number of fish that slipped through the net could not directly harm Sharlayan who was concentrating on casting spells.
The ghosts summoned by the spell were sent to the Blighted Realm by Sharlayan, and Bwonsamdi was responsible for receiving them and transferring them to the Shadow Realm for arbitration.
After "transcending" the last resentful spirit, Valeera finally took back her weapon.
At this time, the gloomy atmosphere over Tyranno had disappeared, and no dark atmosphere could be felt anymore.
Sarlayan, who withdrew the spell, did not leave immediately, but stood there frowning and thinking.
"Logically speaking, these upper-class elves who have long been buried should not have any resentment. What is the reason that causes their souls to linger after semi-materialization?"
Under normal circumstances, unless it is a necromancer possessing the power of death, it is impossible for ordinary people to see ordinary ghosts.
The ghosts will live in a virtual soul state outside the contact range of mortals, patiently waiting for the messengers from the Shadow Realm to come to rescue them.
The situation in Tai'ano is obviously abnormal. Some artificial means have been imposed on the ghosts here, causing them to transform into wraiths under anger. For thousands of years, they have maintained a semi-physical state that can be seen by ordinary people.
[Isn’t it Hela who is causing trouble again? 】
[It is possible, but these souls are not heroic souls. Even if they have hearts, they will not produce much. Are they really valuable to Hela? 】
[There is definitely value, it’s just a question of how much or how little... But I don’t think this small amount of profit is worth Hela’s deliberate efforts.]
[If it wasn’t Hela’s work, then who would it be? 】
The issue discussed in the barrage was also a source of confusion for Sarlayan. He did not think that Hela would waste time on the souls of a group of ordinary people.
After searching carefully in Tai'ano, Sarlayan and others could not find any clues.
However, they did find a clue whether it was related or not.
Tai'ano is also one of the nodes in Suramar's magic network system, but because it has long been occupied by wraiths, the withered ones have not invaded to cause trouble.
"Magic Network Node..."
From the information provided by Serana, we know that the magic network in the Suramar area is integrated.
In other words, in theory, all Magic Network nodes can be directly connected to the Nightwell, the source of magic in Suramar City.
Previously, the Moon Guard had obtained the magic power allocated by Elisande through this method. Strictly speaking, the Moon Guard and Elisande had not really seen each other for thousands of years.
‘Isn’t it related to the night well in the city?’
Tyranor is located on a high ground. Standing on the edge of the cliff, Thalayan can directly see the large purple eggshell covering the city of Suramar.
Although there are very few people in Azeroth who study the power of death, it does not mean that no one is knowledgeable about it.
Just like Malygos, although he does not devote a lot of time to studying necromancy, he can use his profound knowledge to draw parallels when needed.
With the power of time given by the Eye of Aman'Thul, the Nightborne gained an alternative form of immortality by absorbing the magic of the Nightwell.
In a long period of ten thousand years, it is not strange for some people to be bored and study necromancy.
However, there are definitely not many people who have direct access to the Nightwell, only a few high-level Nightborne people including Elisande.
Sarlayan: "Just pay attention to it for now. You can help me remember this first. Maybe we will find more clues when we enter the city and have direct contact with the Children of the Night in the future."
【Receive.】
…
A week has flown by, and Kael'thas has yet to receive any feedback he was hoping for.
Sista has been a little restless recently. As the only daughter in the family, her father has always loved her very much.
Once he learned that Kista was still alive, it was impossible for the old father to do nothing.
However, so far there has been no movement from Fadorei's opposition, which is very abnormal.
Although she didn't want to admit it, Sista already had a bad feeling in her heart.
I'm afraid there's something going on inside Faldorei.
After waiting to no avail, Kael'thas once again convened everyone for discussion.
With the exception of a few conservatives on the advisory panel, all participants, including Saryan, agreed that they could not wait any longer.
"Opening the underground magic network pipeline will indeed bear certain risks, but we are now considered to have sufficient soldiers, and there is an external magic power supply overflowing from the Shar Elan Magic Network hub, so guarding the intersection should not be a problem."
Sarlayan boldly suggested: "Your Highness, I apply to join the special operations team."
"I rescued Shista, and I also made the plan to cooperate with Faldor. I have an obligation to personally participate in this operation."
Kael'thas frowned slightly: "You are still injured, do you want to think about it again?"
Sarlayan smiled nonchalantly and moved his left shoulder in front of Kael'thas.
"My recovery ability is very strong, and some minor injuries have been almost healed long ago."
"There must have been some degree of change within Fadorei. The longer time passes, the more dangerous the opposition's situation will be."
"For the sake of Fadorei who may become allies in the future, we must take action as soon as possible."
Professional Farodin has already given assurance that Fadorei's form transformation is not irreversible.
As long as the second Arcandor matures smoothly, he is sure to be able to reconcile the chaotic natural and arcane powers within Faldorei, allowing them to return to their normal elf form.
Moreover, according to Farodin's speculation, the Faldorei healed by Arcandor will not completely lose their spider form, and they can freely switch between the two forms.
Due to their special living habits, Faldorei Spider-men are good at digging holes and weaving webs. If they can be recruited to join the camp of Quel'Thalas, the high elves will not have to worry about forming underground troops in the future.
After weighing the pros and cons, Kael'thas no longer hesitated.
"Okay, you will lead the special operations team."
"If you want anyone, just ask. I have only one request. Sneak into Flannar as soon as possible to get in touch with the Faldore opposition."
