Chapter 270 Immortality and fertility can't be both? I don't believe it, you must believe in science!
After Kvaldir was repulsed by the combined forces of the Night's Watch and Watchers, the cunning Bwonsamdi has reconnected with Faroldis.
He couldn't bear to part with these souls cursed by Azshara. If he could transcend them to the Shadow Realm, Bwonsamdi could earn a lot of money.
As for offending Azshara?
Bwonsamdi is still wary of his rival Hela, who is also on the death side. After all, they are all eating from the same bowl of rice.
But Azshara has nothing to do with her old Bwonsamdi, so if she offends him, she will be offended.
The naga under Azshara are indeed not easy to mess with, but the Zandalari empire that Bwonsamdi is affiliated with is vegetarian?
And in the final analysis, after ten thousand years, Azshara no longer cares much about the existence of Farodis and others. What she values is the Tide Stone stored in Narthalas Academy.
As long as Bwonsamdi doesn't reach out to the group of Magus Heroic Spirits in Nar'thalath Academy, Azshara will most likely turn a blind eye to his little moves.
Does Bwonsamdi covet Nathalath Academy? Of course he does.
In terms of quality, the heroic spirits of mages left behind by Narthalas Academy even surpass those of Black Crow Castle.
But Bwonsamdi, who was very good at scrutinizing the situation, knew that those heroic spirits could not move, otherwise they would completely break up with Azshara, which was not worth it.
Even with Bwonsamdi's help, lifting the curse is destined to be a long process.
Danmu believes that Azshara did not show her due strength in the game.
But in the real Azeroth, Azshara is the only powerful being who surpasses demigods in a mortal body.
The curse imposed by Azshara in her heyday with the help of the aftermath of the Tidestone's shattering was definitely not easy to lift.
With the dragon blood as a foundation, Sharlayan will have an easier time than Malfurion and others when breaking through the bottleneck of mortal limits.
Even so, Sarayan also had a hunch that this step beyond the limits of mortals would still be very difficult.
Azshara is the only person in Azeroth who has broken through the limits of mortals and entered the divine realm. Maybe in the future, Sharlayan will need to find the Naga Queen to extract her essence and ask her for some experience in breaking through the final bottleneck.
But it's too far away to say this now. With Zalayan's current strength, Azshara's maid Vashj can beat him, and it's far from time to see Azshara.
After returning to the Azsuna region, Stellagosa landed outside the Blue Wing habitat, took little Tina home to rest, and talked with her grandfather about the magnificent things she had experienced during this time.
"Blue Wing Habitat, after so many years, does it still exist here?"
Before Suramar sealed the city, Elisande knew of Senegos' existence, and the two sides had some superficial interactions out of courtesy.
After ten thousand years of vicissitudes, the Azsuna region has completely changed. The old blue dragon Senegos is still as stable as Mount Tai, and Elisande has to lament the longevity of the dragon family.
Although the Nightborne can also live forever, they rely on external forces. The Nightwell created by using the magic of the Eye of Aman'Thul allows them to stay young forever.
The high elves have the most say in the natural lifespan of the elves.
The average natural lifespan of high elves is 3,000 years old. People like Anasteria who live to be over 3,200 years old are rare, but they are rare.
The night elves... and even the upper elves of Syndra are all influenced by the light of Nordrassil, the world tree planted in Mount Hyjal.
This World Tree, planted using the power of the New Well of Eternity, was blessed by the three Dragon Kings as soon as it was born.
Ysera, the Keeper of Dreams, gave her blessing, allowing night elves to freely enter and leave the Emerald Dream, and be protected by the Emerald Dream after death. They can enter the Ardenweald of the Shadow Realm without arbitration, and accept Elune's sister Winter.
Direct jurisdiction of the Queen.
Alexstrasza, the Guardian of Life, bestowed the blessing of the World Tree to keep the night elves' bodies strong and never be troubled by disease.
Nozdormu, the Guardian of Time, also gave a blessing, allowing the night elves to remain young forever. As long as Nordrassil still exists, they will have an immortal lifespan.
After the Syndra family left Kalimdor to join Quel'Thalas, although they received a sufficient supply of magic power, they also lost their ability to live forever because they were far away from Kalimdor.
Theoretically, if the high-purity magic wine brewed from the energy of the Nightwell can be obtained for a long time, Syndra and the high elves can also gain immortality like the Children of the Night.
Kael'thas doesn't know much about this, and Sharlayan only came up with this section through the barrage not long ago.
As the saying goes, every gain must come with a loss.
Immortality is undoubtedly a good thing for those whose life span is close to the limit.
Such as Anastria.
But for the entire high elves group, whether to obtain immortality is a question worth discussing.
The natural rules of Azeroth are fair to a certain extent.
The longer a race lives, the lower its natural fertility rate will be.
The 3,000-year growth rate of the high elves' population in Shouda has been very tragic. Thalayan had previously specifically asked Fandral Staghelm and Thalyssra to learn about the birth rates of the night elves and nightborne.
All I can say is... it's even more miserable.
If the problem of fertility cannot be solved, immortality will be a double-edged sword that can hurt both others and ourselves.
How to weigh this issue is not up to Sarlayan, it depends on the old king and prince's decision.
Strictly speaking, the fertility problem of immortal species is not completely unsolvable.
Barrage is inspired by Sharlayan itself.
In a nutshell, they suggested that the high elves use genetic engineering to artificially inseminate women.
This technology is already relatively mature in the world where sand sculpture netizens live.
It just so happened that Inas's research in the field of life was very in-depth, and she was also involved in the field of genes.
In theory, Inas can use her professional knowledge to solve the problem of low fertility of immortal species such as high elves.
However, judging from the fact that the Dragon Clan still maintains a miserable fertility rate, Inas probably has not thought about this.
This astonishing discovery made Thalayan feel refreshed and he wanted to fly to the Northron Highlands immediately to find his parents who were playing hide-and-seek with Cho'gall.
Under the persuasion of the barrage, Sarlayan temporarily calmed down.
Now the alliance between Quel'Thalas and Suramar has not yet been announced, and Arkandor has not yet matured. Suramar's magic wine output is not even enough to supply its own needs, and there is no room for export sales.
.
Even if Arcandor matures, it will take many years to cover the entire Nightborne population with the fruit yield of just one tree.
Moreover, it is impossible for all of these fruits to be supplied to the Children of the Night, and they will definitely be provided to the high elves first.
In other words, we need to wait until Arcandor's mass production plan is rolled out and magic addiction is no longer the main problem plaguing the descendants of the Highborne before the Nightborne can spare the effort to export magic wine as a specialty of Suramar.
And this goal obviously cannot be achieved in one or two years.
Fortunately, the elves have plenty of time and can afford to wait.
As for the lifespan of old King Anasteria?
Everyone knows that special things need to be done.
"High-purity magic wine?"
On the way to the palace of Faroldis on foot, Elisande looked at Sarlayan in confusion.
"You want it? I can get an equal share of my share, but what are you going to give in exchange?"
Sarlayan shook his head hurriedly: "Why do I need magic wine? I already have an immortal lifespan and don't need this kind of external help."
Sarlayan's words were unflattering. Not to mention Elisande, even Valeera's face looked a little ugly.
Fortunately, Valeela is still very young, and the urgency of the life span issue is not strong in her opinion.
It would be best if she could live forever, so that she could always be by Sarlayan's side.
As long as I die, you will only be mistresses after all.
Even if you can't obtain eternal life, the separation of life and death will be at least more than 2,000 years later.
In these more than 2,000 years, no one can tell what will happen. Maybe Sarlayan will die on the battlefield due to an accident and pass away before Valeela.
Eternal life does not mean eternal immortality. People who want to die will still die.
Unfortunately, Sarlayan really likes to seek death, and his temper has always worried Valeela.
"Hmph~"
People are becoming less and less willing to accept old age, and many elderly people will feel very unhappy when they hear other people talking about their old age in a roundabout way.
Elisande frowned in displeasure and asked in a bad tone: "Are you laughing at me, an old woman who relies on external forces to live forever? What's wrong with your age? Do you eat your food?"
"What?"
Sarlayan looked confused, and a lot of "hahahaha" ridicule barrages flashed across the screen in front of his eyes.
"What the hell... I want to ask for magic wine for the old king of Quel'Thalas. His lifespan is about to end."
"Ah this..."
Elisande, who was prone to misunderstandings, looked a little embarrassed, but as she matured, she quickly adjusted herself.
"Ahem~ Yes, I will take time to discuss this matter with Prince Kael'thas in detail."
‘This brat didn’t do it on purpose, right? It’s a bad habit to say the least.’
