When the tremors of the earth subsided, Haggard ran out the door as soon as possible.
As soon as he ran to the door of the Port Authority, he bumped into his secretary, Baron Vadus.
Seeing Balon running in from outside, Haggard grabbed his arm.
"What's the situation outside? Is the disaster serious?"
Baron answered quickly.
"Mayor, although the earthquake lasted for a long time, it did not cause much damage to the port.
When the shaking started, some workers who were moving goods on the dock accidentally fell down.
The injured have been resettled, and fortunately there were no deaths."
Hearing Balon say this, Haggard let out a sigh of relief, and then spoke again.
"Contact Gadgetzan. The earthquake just lasted for so long. They must have been affected as well."
When Haggard said this, he was thinking about the Gadgetzan Hotel, even though extreme conditions were taken into consideration when building it.
But if something happens to it, it will definitely not be a trivial matter and nothing can be done carelessly.
However, what Haggard didn't understand was that Balon, who had always been able to carry out his orders very well, actually shook his head this time and swallowed again.
"Mayor, I think these things can be left behind. You should come out and take a look. The changes outside have exceeded my ability to understand."
Haggard seemed a little annoyed at Balon's nonsense, but when he walked out of the port authority and saw with his own eyes what Balon had told him, he was completely speechless.
The magnificent ancient city of Petra has made huge changes to Tanaris, and it is no longer appropriate to call it the Tanaris Desert.
Standing in the deep sandy plain, if you reach out and grab a handful from the ground at this time, what you grab is no longer sand that cannot be grasped, but sand that can be grasped into a shape!
Li De ran freely on the sand, but in fact he was the only one there?
Noggenfogg was almost crazy. He picked up a handful of sand in his hands and squeezed it hard, feeling the sticky and grainy feel of the sand as it slid between his fingers.
"Hahahaha... this is real! This is not a dream!"
The biggest obstacle to the development of Hanhai Protector has always been this extremely poor natural endowment.
A country that is not satisfied with living just by eating lizard meat will inevitably encounter many obstacles on its way to development. With the emergence of the ancient city of Petra, these obstacles have been reduced by at least half!
Although the sandy land is still among the most barren, it at least has cultivable value. As long as the right crops are selected, the current situation of high dependence on imported food can be alleviated.
Calgar and Captain Fang looked at each other in shock. The scene before their eyes definitely did not belong to mortals in their minds! This was a power that only gods could possess!
What was even more shocking was Shandris Feathermoon. As the night elf who had gone the furthest in researching the power of life, she knew best how difficult it was to bring such vitality to a forbidden land like the desert.
Kel'Thuzad was pacing back and forth on the sand in a daze. Can arcane magic do such a thing?
Old Chen could understand Kel'Thuzad's mood at the moment. He stood beside Kel'Thuzad and spoke softly.
"In your field of vision, you can't quite understand what happened just now, can you?
In fact, in my field of vision, I not only saw the gathering of arcane arts, but there were also lives that were no less important than the arcane arts.
There is not only one source of power."
Lao Chen's words caused Kel'Thuzad to think deeply. In the past, he firmly believed that arcana was the origin of this world.
Arcana is the absolute order, the weight of mass, the coldness and heat of temperature, the speed of speed. It is arcana that supports these laws.
At the same time, in the physical world, there are also four changes of arcana: earth, water, fire, and wind, which construct this physical world.
Therefore, in the minds of mages, this world is so clear and elegant, and everything can be understood as being composed of arcane energy.
As for the arcane system of constructing all things, there are several flaws. For example, what is the holy light? What is the existence of the soul and consciousness?
Regarding the previous question, the "great scholars" of Dalaran believe that holy light, like earth, water, fire and wind, is also a change of arcana, but the specific principle of change has not yet been mastered.
The priests of the Church of Holy Light certainly sneered at this theory of the mages. In fact, Dalaran and Lordaeron did have a century-long conflict over this, but this is another past event. Here,
Let’s not go into details first.
As for the latter question, the violent theory put forward by the "great scholar" is even more shocking. The soul is just a bunch of magic circuits with different strengths and weaknesses, composed of a "super magic mind".
Just like a magic puppet, what drives its actions is nothing more than being set up in advance by the mage, using different magic circuits to respond to different stimuli imposed by the outside world, forming a "magic thinking" that drives the puppet's actions.
The consciousness of intelligent life is much more complicated than the magical thinking of a magic puppet, but the mages believe that as long as they are given enough time, they can definitely copy such perfect magical thinking.
The above is the "perfect origin theory" proposed by the mages, and evil energy has challenged it in history.
However, with the research on evil energy by mages, now, in the circle of top mages, the mutual transformation of arcane magic and evil energy has long been an undisclosed secret.
Kel'Thuzad once had no doubts about this "perfect origin theory" of arcana. It was precisely because he firmly believed that studying arcana was studying truth that he was able to achieve outstanding achievements in many fields.
, resolutely gave up the original field and joined Dalaran.
But now, Kel'Thuzad's firm belief was shaken.
To be precise, since the beginning of the Orc War, the dragon's entry into the mortal world, and the rise of the Vast Sea Protector, these things have happened one after another, and the seeds of doubt have been planted in Kel'Thuzad's heart.
Wild boar and pandaren, these mysterious ancient races, possess energy that even mages cannot observe. Until now, Kel'Thuzad finally realized that maybe the masters were really arrogant, and arcana might just be a piece of the world.
puzzle.
Li De, who was still rejoicing that Hanhai Protector was finally going to have large-scale agriculture, naturally had no idea that there was a brief ideological confrontation between Lao Chen and Kel'Thuzad.
If he knew about it, he would definitely not take it seriously but also take it seriously.
The reason why he doesn't take it seriously is because Li De is a person who despises "reciting scriptures" at heart. Of course, he even despises such nonsense as "after entering the continent of Lordaeron, the old scholar Arathor defended the scriptures for me."
The reason why Li De attaches great importance to it is because he attaches great importance to theoretical research. Debating scriptures is of no benefit to the real world, but exploring the truth is different.
"Minister Marin, I think we should go back early. The shock just now will probably cause a certain amount of panic.
Changes in the natural environment will also cause strong reactions from the public.
We also need to discuss it seriously. From today on, the Hanhai Protectorate has entered a new era.
Many aspects of the development strategies formulated in the past need to be changed."
Noggenfogg nodded vigorously and shouted to Bigwitz who was squatting on the ground collecting soil samples.
"Shakes! Go back now! We'll do this work later, we have plenty of time!"
After hearing this, Bigwitz suddenly realized that it could only be said that the vast desert in the past made him really afraid that the soil would disappear tomorrow and everything would return to its original state.
On the way back, Kel'Thuzad suddenly interrupted Li De's train of thought and pulled him out of his thoughts.
"Can I serve as the Protector of Hanhai?"
Kel'Thuzad's words made Li De ecstatic. He had been looking forward to Kel'Thuzad's words day and night.
But then Kel'Thuzad poured cold water on Li De who was in high spirits.
"I'm not leaving Dalaran to serve as Protector of the Vast Sea. My first identity is still the Magister of Dalaran. In addition, can I be given a part-time job that is less intensive?"
