Chapter 541 543 [What!? (Big Chapter)](1/2)
Faced with Elisande's seemingly careless question, Angmar couldn't help but be slightly startled, but with a normal expression on his face, he replied:
"It is not difficult for me to use my mental power to explore the city. I will soon learn about it from the people who are talking about you. Why do you ask such a strange question?"
Elisande did not answer immediately and subconsciously looked at the door of the small courtyard.
Not long ago, when news of the prophet's return reached Azshara's ears and she hurried over regardless of the risk of transmission, Angmar stood there smiling to greet the queen.
Although so much time has passed, Elisande still clearly remembers how passionately Azshara looked at her sweetheart.
Am I really overthinking it?... Azshara curled her lips and said, "Just asking..."
But when she took Angmar's hand, she suddenly discovered something and frowned: "Hey, your palms are all sweaty... Why are you nervous?"
Something bad is going to happen!... Angmar's heart rang with alarm, and she knew that she must take the initiative at this time. She immediately stood in front of Elisande and stopped, holding her shoulders and said seriously: "Ellie, from me.
When you come back, you're not in the right state. Why do you keep asking about such rambling things? What's wrong with you? "
Elisande's train of thought was suddenly interrupted, and the doubts that had just arisen disappeared. As if his thoughts had been revealed, he said with a guilty conscience: "Ah...is there any? How could it be possible? I am just too concerned about the matter of successfully becoming a magister."
So happy..."
Elisande's state was obviously not right, and Angmar didn't expect that he would get it wrong. Now he was really worried, and said solemnly: "What's wrong?"
Under his gaze, Elisande closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and confessed: "Actually... I went to the secret vault yesterday. I just gave it a try, but I successfully activated the Eye of Aman'Thul.
"
"What!?" Angmar was shocked and angry.
Elisande was startled and lowered her head, not daring to look into Angmar's eyes.
The Eye of Aman'Thul, this supreme artifact created by Titan himself, does not actually "predict the future", but comprehensively calculates the event parameters entered by the user, relying on unparalleled computing power to enumerate all the resulting events.
possible.
The "future" it reveals depends entirely on whether the event parameters are objective and comprehensive. Once the parameters are biased or miss several key premises, the "future" derived from them will be full of uncertainty and may even mislead users.
.
From this point of view, it is actually a very dangerous thing for a mortal to use the Eye of Aman'Thul. Even if it is strong enough to withstand the huge mental burden that reading billions may bring, it is difficult to be impartial, let alone
The ability to make event parameters completely objective and comprehensive.
Elisande in the official history clearly led the people of Suramar to bravely resist the Burning Legion in the War of the Ancients, and was an undoubted wise leader. However, 10,000 years later, the Burning Legion came to Azeroth again.
The reason for choosing to surrender and siding with the former mortal enemy is here.
To some extent, she was misled by this artifact.
When Gul'dan from another timeline extended an olive branch to the Nightborne on behalf of the Burning Legion, as the leader of the Nightborne, Grand Magister Elisande once again used Aman'Thul as he had done countless times before when faced with choices.
Eye.
But all the future revealed by this artifact clearly shows that facing the Burning Legion's annihilating army, the Children of the Night, who have already lost their fighting spirit in the barrier and are immersed in a luxurious life, have no chance of winning. Once they choose to resist, they are destined to perish.
The Burning Legion will also achieve their goal, and nothing in this world can stop them...
Elisande chose to surrender in despair and led the Nightborne to become the devil's lackey.
But in fact, everyone knows that the development of things is not as "predicted" by the Eye of Aman'Thul. Instead of succeeding, the Burning Legion's plan was once again defeated by the united people of Azeroth. Not only that, but also
Everything was lost in the counterattack of the Azeroth coalition. Kil'jaeden, the deputy of the Legion, fell. The base camp that had been run for countless years was lost. Even Sargeras, the master of the Burning Legion, was imprisoned by the Pantheon Titan who had regained his power.
stand up……
This future is not at all the "future" that Grand Magister Elisande saw when he used the Eye of Aman'Thul!
Objectively speaking, although the original intention of Grand Magister Elisande was to hope that the Nightborne could continue, so she went astray and eventually died because she blocked the coalition forces of Azeroth, but in fact, the mistakes she made did not deserve mercy.
.
Just like all the Children of the Night who are trapped in the Night Well, a source of magical power, she has also become one-sided in her ten thousand years of closed life, completely losing her former objectivity. How can she pass through Amansu?
Can your eyes obtain an objective and comprehensive "future"?
But she was overconfident in her abilities and relied too much on this artifact, which ultimately led to a tragic tragedy.
At this time, Elisande was still young, and his mind and abilities were far from mature. Unlike in the official history, he studied the Eye of Aman'Thul for a long time after the War of the Ancients and gradually mastered its use.
It provides insights into the "future".
Although Angmar understood that this artifact would eventually become her and the Son of Night's reliance, in order to protect her young age, he did not choose to teach her how to use it prematurely. He repeatedly ordered her to use it, no matter how obsessed with time magic she was.
Violating the ban, he used his influence to secretly go to the secret vault of Suramar to try to use the Eye of Aman'Thul.
Angmar was not only worried that she would be misled by a biased future, but also worried that she would encounter danger during use. Because even he himself had to bear a huge mental burden during use, how could little Elisande possibly
Can you bear it?
"I've said countless times that you don't have the ability to control the Eye of Aman'Thul! Have you ever thought about what you would do if you couldn't bear the mental load? Now that you can stand in front of me, I will
Thank God! You are really, really... making me mad!" Angmar was anxious and angry, trying his best to suppress the anger in his tone.
"I..." Elisande looked down at the ground, "I'm sorry. But I just want to see... our future."
Angmar's anger disappeared in an instant, and he opened his mouth, but no words came out. He thought that Elisande did this out of curiosity about time magic.
"Tell me, what did you see?"
"Soon you will leave me...because of a woman." Elisande's expression quickly turned gloomy.
Angmar frowned and said in disbelief: "How could it be possible? Eli..."
Elisande shook his head and interrupted him, "You don't have to say it, I know that the future revealed by the Eye of Aman'Thul is full of deception, and I won't take it seriously. How could you leave me, or because of a woman?
It’s ridiculous just thinking about it.”
But after saying that, she carefully looked up at Angma and asked in a low voice: "You can't, right?"
"Of course not." Angmar didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and looked at her carefully for a while.
In order to equip Elisande with the ability to control the Eye of Aman'Thul early, he had already taught her the relevant knowledge, especially about the reasons behind the future revealed by that artifact.
Thinking about it, if Elisande really took what she saw seriously, she would have been worried a long time ago. When she saw him, she would not happily talk about the joy of becoming a magister. After confirming that she was not trapped by it, An
Gema was relieved.
He will never break his promise.
What's more, Suramar City will remain closed for the next 10,000 years, completely isolated from the outside world. Therefore, it will not have any impact on the development of official history. It is the best way to extract variables, secretly plan and accumulate strength for future generations.
He has been destined to stay here for ten thousand years, waiting for the arrival of the main timeline. What reason does he have to leave here?
"Okay, forget about this, let's go to dinner. Don't do it again next time, at least tell me."
"Um."
After entering the hut, the maids quickly presented delicious dishes, and the two of them sat down and ate quietly.
In order to dilute the solemn atmosphere, Angmar once again chatted about the Magister. After chatting for a few words, Elisande soon became happy again. After all, she was only a woman in her twenties after all.
A 20-year-old girl is overjoyed because her long-cherished wish has come true. This is who she really is.
"You can teach me after a while, okay?" Elisande asked softly.
Angmar knew what she was referring to and nodded. The War of the Ancients was imminent, and the Earth-shattering was not far away. He originally planned to put this matter on the agenda and let Elisande master the Eye of Aman'Thul as soon as possible.
It is not that he is eager to train her ability to read the "timeline", but to teach her a more comprehensive knowledge of the use of magic sources so that she can create the Dark Night Well, which is extremely important to the Children of the Night, before the world collapses.
"good."
Elisande hesitated to speak, and finally asked tentatively: "Then...can I apply to the Council? You know, I can work in the secret treasury and get familiar with the Eye of Aman'Thul. I promise
, just study its magic power and will never activate it again."
Angmar thought for a while, nodded and said: "That's okay...if you can faithfully fulfill your promise."
"I will!" Elisande smiled happily.
…
After lunch, Elisande returned to Suramar City. He said that he had stayed in the secret vault all day yesterday to deal with the Eye of Aman'Thul. He hadn't had time to deal with the trivial matters that he had just taken office, so he had to go and take care of it today.
.
As soon as Elisande left, Vashj informed Angmar that his four apprentices had been waiting outside the courtyard for a long time.
At nightfall, they came once, but were told that the teacher was not there, so they had no choice but to leave. Now that they heard that Angmar had returned, they hurried over. But Illidan, who was obsessed with magic, came to continue the class.
, Thalyssra, Oculus and Valtroy made a special trip to express their thanks.
Oculus, in particular, was extremely happy that the research results were recovered, his name was rectified, and he also gained the attention of the Magister Council, allowing him to immediately start the long-awaited teleportation network reconstruction work. He was extremely happy.
Angmar didn't want to teach today, so he only gave each of the four people a book, asking them to read it through once when they returned, and tell him their impressions when they came to the courtyard tomorrow.
This is the magic book he wrote during this time.
The first half can be regarded as a general knowledge of magic, covering a wide range of topics, ranging from the eight mature magic school systems summarized by later generations to major arcane history events that deliberately erase the specific time and year.
All this knowledge was learned by Angmar when he was young. For a mage, excellent memory is only the most basic quality. As an apprentice, Angmar did not have any extraordinary talents, so he had to remember the time travel.
I once had a wise saying, "A good memory is not as good as a bad pen." Over time, I have become familiar with many boring books. Now, it is almost not difficult to write these from memory.
Although the content of this part is complex and not specialized, it is enough to broaden the horizons of these apprentices. If they come from the backward view of magic of this era, they can be understood by the extremely mature systematic magic theory from later generations, which has already been summarized and deepened by countless magic masters.
