On the way from Crystalsong Forest to Dragonblight, Sarlayan took the opportunity to observe the situation in New Arcandor from a high altitude.
After obtaining permission from the night elves and green dragons, the second batch of Akandor planted at the four entrances to the dreamland had already matured and began to steadily produce miracle fruits.
Counting the original Miracle Tree in Suramar, the six Akandor trees that have been improved several times by Farodin the Valley Walker can harvest about 100,000 fruits every year.
As usual, the miracle fruits produced every year will be given priority to the top leaders of each country.
The social structure of Quel'Thalas is a typical pyramid. The higher the status, the smaller the number of people. The share of the Miracle Fruit distributed within 2 years is enough to cover the entire noble class.
After taking the Arkandor Fruit, which can use the power of nature to reconcile excess arcane power, various upper elf branch races such as the Children of the Night, High Elves and Faldorei finally have no worries and can safely absorb the Sunwell (Dark Night Well).
of magic.
It is a pity that although Farodin has worked hard to iteratively improve the Arkandor Fruit over the years, he still cannot change the withered ones whose brains have been burned out by magic addiction back to their original appearance.
But Farodin's efforts also brought good news.
The experiment of using Arcandor Fruit as bait to catch the Withered Ones has achieved certain results. The Withered Ones that have eaten the Arcandor Fruit have obviously lost their aggressiveness.
Farodin guessed that their addiction to magic was suppressed by the Miracle Fruit, and they no longer crave magic power crazily.
Although it is impossible to transform a large number of withered people back into the nightborne, if they can eliminate their aggressiveness with Akandor, the wilds of Suramar will become safer, and there will be no need to invest a lot of manpower in escorting caravans.
Effectively reduce trade expenses.
After several years of growth, Akandor in Crystalsong Forest has long since stabilized.
As a benefit for attracting immigrants, residents who are willing to move to New Sundala City will not only enjoy various tax exemptions, but also be given priority in the distribution of Arcandor fruits.
Today's high elves have not experienced the mind-stirring magic addiction after the destruction of the Sunwell, and do not pay enough attention to the role of the Arcandor fruit.
However, anyone who has absorbed the magic power of the Sunwell will feel some discomfort as time goes by once they are far away from Quel'Thalas.
With the help of the Blue Dragon Clan, New Shandalara's Magic Network has completed a direct connection with Quel'Thalas, allowing part of the Sunwell's magic to be remotely introduced into Crystalsong Forest.
But after all, it is a long-distance transmission with large losses, and the magic power transmitted cannot be infinite. This part of the magic power is mainly used to support the Miracle Tree.
Away from the Sunwell of their hometown, the immigrants in New Shandalar City gradually felt the power of magic addiction. Arcandor's quota was very popular in this emerging city in the North.
After several years of unremitting efforts by Bod Linyu, the lord of New Shandalar, and the strong official support of Silvermoon City, the population of New Shandalar City officially exceeded one million this year, becoming the most populous city in Northrend.
Night Elf?
Although Fandral Staghelm is also working hard, they must first transform the unique ecological environment of Sholazar Basin that is different from the outside world to make it more suitable for night elves to live.
At least in the first few years before immigrating to Northrend, the development speed of the new city in the Dark Sky Republic could not exceed that of Shandalar.
As he passed the magic protective barrier over New Shantala, Sarlayan looked thoughtfully at the crowded streets below.
"Among the six major cities of the Dark Night Empire, Zin Assali sank into the sea and became Nazjatar today."
"Sundara has been rebuilt, Suramar is still alive, and the night elves have also begun plans to revive Elre'Thalas in order to develop southern Kalimdor."
"To put it into perspective, of the original six major cities, only Lasalazar in the Heavenly Seat and Senlaluo in the Barrens remain without any trace."
The Seat of Heaven was built by Azshara in order to please the moon god Elune...or to show favor to the people who believe in Elune. It is essentially a temple city that attracts a large number of Elune believers to make pilgrimages every year.
Many of Suramar's books have recorded the miraculous craftsmanship of the Sky Seat, and Grand Magister Elisande has also personally seen this majestic temple city suspended in the air.
Logically speaking, the collapse of Azeroth's surface should not affect this aerial city.
But for some unknown reason, the Heavenly Seat has completely lost contact with the night elves since the Great Sundering 10,000 years ago.
Another city, Senlaro, was originally located in the central wilderness.
Because of the battle of the wild boar demigod Agamaggan, the central wilderness absorbed too much demon blood containing evil energy during the ancient war, and was therefore severely corroded by evil energy.
The once lush jungle has become a barren land today, and only a few oases can still vaguely see the charm of the early years.
Senlaro, who was supposed to remain in the eastern part of the Barrens, disappeared after the Catastrophe.
Malfurion and Elisande and other seniors who survived from that era speculated that the city should have sunk into the sea like Zin Ashari.
Sarlayan thought about building a new Cel'alor in the Barrens, but his proposal failed to gain the approval of Kael'thas.
The Barrens, as the name suggests, is a barren and desolate land with little development value.
Moreover, the Barrens is too close to Ashenvale, the core territory of the night elves. Considering the class conflicts that always exist between the high elves and the night elves, once it actually borders the Night Republic, it is likely to cause a lot of trouble.
After careful consideration, Sarlayan found that this proposal was unrealistic and quickly threw it away.
It is impossible to rebuild Senlaro, but the same cannot be said for the Heavenly Seat.
Whether it is Malfurion, Elisande or Tyrande and Maiev, they all believe that the Heavenly Seat is still floating somewhere in Azeroth.
It is very likely that it was affected by the drastic change in energy caused by the explosion of the Well of Eternity, and unfortunately was thrown into a certain sub-plane by the space turbulence.
It is not impossible to create a subplane in Azeroth. The four elemental realms were opened by the vrykul witch Hela.
Even after being corrupted by Odin, Hela still did not forget her original intention and once again opened up a new sub-plane of Hell Abyss.
After the defeat of Hela, Hades Abyss was reclaimed by Bwonsamdi. It is said that he originally planned to incorporate Hades Abyss into the other world under his jurisdiction.
However, according to Sarlayan, Bwonsamdi suddenly disappeared before construction could officially begin.
The entrance to Hades still exists in Stormheim, and is closely guarded by Valarjar and Val'kyr sent by Odin.
Although there is no concrete evidence, Sarlayan boldly guessed that Bwonsamdi should have gone to the Shadow Realm. The reason is unknown for the time being, and it may have something to do with the "boss" Bwonsamdi mentioned.
Sarlayan had long known the identity of this "boss" from the barrage. He was the first death loa in Azeroth and the adoptive father of Bwonsamdi - Mu'ezala.
In order to recall Medivh's soul from the distant star realm, Sarlayan used a lot of precious materials from the Shadow Realm.
He originally planned to take some time to go to the Shadow Realm in the near future to replenish some information and find out the whereabouts of Bwonsamdi.
Although this chatty Loa is always a bitch-tongued, it must be said that he provided a lot of help to Sharlayan when he was just starting out.
If Bwonsamdi hadn't come to protect him, Sharlayan would have been invaded by C'Thun and his soul would have been polluted due to his youthful and reckless recklessness.
"Look for the whereabouts of the Heavenly Seat, go to the Shadow Realm to collect materials, find Bwonsamdi's whereabouts, monitor the movements of Northrend at all times, and pay attention to the battle for the storage of Lordaeron."
When entering the snowfields of Dragonblight, Sharlayan sighed with a wry smile.
"Why are there always so many things to do...are you born to be a hard worker?"
[Is it possible that you have found a lot of trouble for yourself? There are some things that you don’t need to pay so much attention to. 】
Sharlayan shook his head: "When I think about the many turmoils that Azeroth will face in the future, I always have a sense of urgency in my heart. I always feel uneasy if I don't make some arrangements."
[That’s serious, keep busy while you’re still young, young man.]
[There is a saying that goes well, the more you sweat in peacetime, the less you bleed in wartime.]
Sarlayan laughed and said: "That's right, I just complained casually, I still have to do what needs to be done."
"Let's go, let's go to Longmian Temple to say hello, and then it's time to start preparing for the trip to the Shadow Realm."
