It can be seen from Elisande's still tough attitude that she still believes that relying on the Eye of Aman'Thul to find the most suitable route for the Nightborne is the right decision.
As the leader of the same ethnic group, Kael'thas agrees with Elisande's ideas in principle.
But when it came to the specific details, Kael'thas felt that her approach was somewhat deviated from reality.
It is a good thing to find a suitable development route for the people, but the prerequisite is to ensure the normal development of the country first.
Due to Elisande's long-term retreat to explore the timeline, the management of Suramar was delegated to her advisory group.
The problem lies here.
As an elite among the high elves, Elisande has made great achievements in political tactics.
In order to avoid the situation of one person becoming dominant in her absence, she did not put the power in any one person, but split the city management power into many parts.
Suramar is managed in a council-like manner by advisors who discuss and cooperate with each other.
But this management method has a drawback that is difficult to conceal.
The unclear priorities led to endless disputes within the advisory group.
The nominal chief advisor is Thalyssra, but in fact, the only ones she can really fully manage are the several major arcanist organizations headed by the Arcane Association.
Thalyssra, who was determined to change the current situation in Suramar, established her own intelligence network without any guidance, trying to reach out to the people, and thus learned a lot about the true wishes of the people.
From Kael'thas's perspective, Talisa's governing philosophy is very pragmatic, and judging from the subsequent series of responses, her efforts can be considered fruitful.
But in the eyes of other advisors who have higher eyes on her, Talisa has fallen into the company of untouchables, which is detrimental to the nobility's face.
Don't doubt it, there are indeed people among the upper elves who only care about appearance but not reality, and there are quite a few of them.
Differences in governing philosophies led to the Chief Arcanist being gradually isolated from the advisory board.
Without the initiative and the support of her colleagues, Talisa's reform ambitions will naturally be unable to be implemented.
During the years that Elisande was in seclusion, most of her knowledge of Suramar came from internal affairs advisor Fandos.
The ambitious Phandos has long coveted the position of Thalyssra's chief advisor, and often makes trouble in front of Elisande and slanders Thalyssra's actions.
However, Grand Magister Elisande and Chief Arcanist Thalyssra have known each other since ancient times, and they know each other's temperament very well.
Elisande has long seen that Fandos has a bad character, but putting this issue aside, his abilities are indeed impressive.
People with talent but no virtue are not uncommon among the upper elves, and Elisande is confident that he can control him.
This is also true. With Elisande on top, Fandos' upper limit is only as a consultant.
As long as he doesn't get Elisande's nod, he will never be able to step on Talisa and ascend to the throne.
Although he was not fooled by Fandos's tricks to stir up trouble, Elisande's understanding of urban development was still affected to some extent.
She was not very clear about the current situation in Suramar, especially the issue of public opinion that the upper elves had never paid much attention to, and Fandos did not mention it at all.
As the saying goes, if you listen to both sides, you will be enlightened; if you listen to one side, you will be dark.
Elisande sensed something unusual in the barrier and hurriedly came out. Before he had time to ask his advisors about the changes and development of Suramar over the years, the elite army of high elves was already in front of him.
Seeing that Elisande showed no remorse for his actions, Kael'thas felt a little unhappy and deliberately allowed Thalayan to point at her nose and scold her.
After Sharlayan convinced Elisande's die-hard Melandus, he saw that the half-human, half-plant freak planned to intervene in the two-on-one. Kael'thas, who had been paying attention to the battle, immediately took action and burned the opponent's summons.
Out of active vines.
In any country or race, people with bigger fists get more respect.
Elisande doesn't know Sharlayan or Kael'thas, but she knows Melandus' strength well.
The young and frizzy boy in front of him probably has not experienced his first century yet, but he can easily suppress Melandus with his strong strength and sufficient preparation.
This has no reason for Elisande not to pay attention to Sarlayan.
"Phoenix Flame?"
After Kael'thas took action to stop the conflict between the two sides, Elisande happened to be using the donkey to get off the slope and said to Kael'thas with emotion: "You remind me of a person, Dath'Remar Sunstrider and
What does it matter to you?"
Kael'thas shook off the flames attached to Flamestrike and bowed slightly to Elisande with flawless etiquette.
"Dath'Remar is my ancestor, the founder of Quel'Thalas, and the first Sun King."
The Nightborne have the Nightwell, and the High Elves have the Sunwell.
In terms of the output and energy reserve of the magic source, the Night Well is inferior to the Sun Well created by the water from the Well of Eternity.
But Night Well also has its own advantages.
Due to the ability of the Eye of Aman'Thul to control time, the Nightwell created with it as its core was also contaminated by some of the abilities of this Pillar of Creation.
The children of the night who absorb the magic of the Nightwell can gain immortality in a different way from the night elves.
Dath'Remar has long since passed away, and the Sun King of Quel'Thalas has changed several times, but the leader of Suramar has always been Elisande, which has not changed since ten thousand years ago.
"So, descendants of Dath'Remar."
Elisandre responded to Kael'thas thoughtfully, but then her face darkened.
"Why did you lead troops to invade Suramar? Do you think Suramar is easy to bully?"
Kael'thas was not frightened by Elisande's attitude, and shook his head calmly: "Of course not, you may not believe it, but we led the army into the city to assist King Thalyssra and eradicate those who deceive the Lord and seek glory.
A sycophant."
"Suramar has been closed to the outside world for too long. It has been ignorant of changes in the outside world."
"Here, please allow me to ask a question."
Elisande raised his hand to signal Kael'thas to continue.
Kael'thas used arcane magic and raised his hand in front of him to outline two phantoms as tall as a man. One of the phantoms simulated the appearance of a nightfallen elf, and the other was a more miserable withered spell.
"Grand Magister, have you ever seen these two species?"
Elisande shook his head in confusion: "I've never seen them before, what are they?"
"Ha~"
Talisa couldn't help but sneered and interrupted: "They were all our people originally."
"Because of your exile policy, the children of the night who were abandoned outside the city were unable to replenish their magic power, and gradually degenerated into nightfallen elves, until they finally turned into irrational withers."
Elisande's eyes fluctuated slightly, but soon returned to calm.
"This is a last resort. The Night Well cannot satisfy everyone without limit. If those criminals are not exiled, the entire city will suffer from magic starvation."
"Papa~"
Sarlayan clapped his hands sarcastically, and mocked in a sinister tone: "Okay, look far ahead."
"But are you sure that the people in exile are really prisoners who deserve their crimes?"
"Valtroy, come out."
Upon hearing Sarlayan's call, a thin nightfallen elf stood out from the crowd and bowed to Elisande in standard Nightborne etiquette.
"Dear Archmage, Arcanist Valtroy sends his regards."
Elisande's eyes flickered for a moment, and he raised his hand to make a gesture of support: "Look up, Arcanist, for what crime are you exiled?"
Valtroy smiled bitterly and shook his head: "There is no crime. I am trapped outside the barrier because the magic swordsmen and magister colleagues in the exile team have different opinions from me and deliberately ignored me."
The magisters should have been under the jurisdiction of Thalyssra, but the banishment ceremony had always been presided over by Melandus himself. The magisters who assisted the magic swordsmen in exiling criminals were naturally placed under Melandus.
Noticing Elisande's thoughtful gaze, Melandus, who was still a little pale, hurriedly tried to distance himself from the relationship.
"Great Magister, this matter is only decided by the people below without permission. I..."
Sarlayan suddenly said something sarcastic: "When Chief Arcanist Thalyssra convened the advisory group to vote on whether to open the barrier to save people, as the person directly responsible, you voted without hesitation.
No vote?"
"You want to say that you don't know anything? Haha~ Are you lying to a fool?"
Elisande's face was a little ugly because of the connotation of Sarlayan's poisonous tongue. Seeing Melandus's hesitant look, she knew that Sarlayan was not adding fuel to the fire.
"OK."
Elisande, who had no composure on her face, laughed angrily: "It seems that during my time in seclusion, each of you has your own ideas."
"Just in time, let me learn in detail today what changes have taken place in Suramar during the more than a thousand years that I have been exploring the future for Shal'dorei!"
