Chapter 682 686 [The True Son of Light and Darkness (6000-word chapter)(1/2)
)】
The violent plate movement finally ended and the tide receded.
Mount Hyjal is in a mess. Looking down from the top of the mountain, the lush forest has disappeared. Thousands of years of towering ancient trees were uprooted by the raging tsunami, and shellfish and seaweed washed ashore from the seabed can be seen everywhere.
Looking far into the distance, the calm sea surface reflects the brilliance of the rising sun, as if reflecting the arrival of a new era.
With the help of the wild demigods, the night elves got over the sadness of losing their homeland, regained their faith, began to count the supplies brought from their homeland, and explored the land that was once considered a sacred mountain by their tribesmen.
Because of his outstanding performance in the war, his key role in bringing the ways of nature back to night elf society, and his close relationship with the demigods, Malfurion Stormrage, who was born in Sura
In a remote village on the outskirts of Masi, an eccentric young man who lived in isolation all day turned into a well-respected big shot.
Tyrande Whisperwind also became the leader of the Sisters of Elune because she was appointed as the successor by the former High Priestess Dejana before her death. He once witnessed her almost miraculous healing.
Anyone who practices magic knows that she is the spokesperson of the moon goddess Elune. However, some people doubt her ability to lead the Sisters of Elune. After all, she is too young.
The ancient authority fell apart due to the catastrophe. In such a change, no one can predict what kind of future the night elves will lead.
The elite group represented by mages is particularly pessimistic.
The night elves evolved due to the Well of Eternity, so they enjoy a long life and a strong body that is immune to all diseases. The fifth generation of dark trolls who were born by the well have become essentially night elves. Even if they live for thousands of years
, is still in the golden age of life, with no signs of aging. Previous research has confirmed that after passing through the short childhood and adolescence like the dark trolls, the youth and adulthood of the night elves will last for at least tens of thousands of years.
, it is still unknown whether he will age in the future.
For the night elves, the Well of Eternity is an indispensable part of life and the deepest bond.
Now that the Well of Eternity has been destroyed, although the residual magic power of the well is still wandering around the world, it will eventually dissipate. According to calculations, that day will not be too far away, and it will happen within the next hundred years at most.
At that time, the majestic magic flowing in the blood of the night elves will dissipate and will no longer be nourished by the Well of Eternity. The disease will plague the entire group again. What is even more frightening is that people will become more and more unbearable and get worse.
Feeling of lack of magic power, he began to suffer symptoms that were ten thousand times more terrifying than the withdrawal reaction.
During the Magical Research Conference, the court mage Dasrema Sunstrider vividly referred to this possible disease as "magic addiction". Of course, compared with the inevitable progression towards aging and the loss of health, etc.
, "Demon addiction" is not worth mentioning at all, but it is indeed the most terrible disaster for those weak-willed people.
Worry is slowly fermenting. Anyone with some common sense in magic knows that a collapse of order will come quietly when the magic of the Well of Eternity completely dissipates.
Everyone hopes that the demigods can help the night elves find the direction of life again.
Not long ago, a speculation about the origin of the War of the Ancients became rampant and was recognized by most of the night elves.
Some people say that the reason why demons invaded Azeroth was because they smelled the magical atmosphere of the Well of Eternity. They are like flies chasing carrion, looking for a world rich in arcane energy in the infinite universe to satisfy their hunger.
thirsty.
If it weren't for the abuse of magic by the upper elves, the demons would not have noticed the existence of Azeroth. In other words, arcane magic is the culprit that caused the disaster!
For a time, magic seemed to be something that everyone was shouting about.
But everyone knows, especially the imperial elite under the Queen's command. The prophet once explained in detail the motivations of the Burning Legion. The Lord of the Legion's journey to destroy the universe is not to satisfy the so-called desire for destruction or hunger, but to be paranoid.
It must be believed that this universe is hopeless, and only destruction can lead to rebirth from the ashes.
Azeroth is one of the most special planets in the universe. Inside the planet, there is a certain kind of life form called the Star Soul. The magic in the Well of Eternity is the manifestation of the life source of the Star Soul, and
The star soul has suffered some kind of corruption, and Sargeras must destroy it before it completely becomes an evil puppet.
This is the truth of the invasion, not magic causing the invasion.
But no common people believe this statement, even if the elite group moves out the prophet, it will not work. The prophet in the minds of the lower class people is definitely not like this. They think that the elite group represented by the upper class elves just forced this statement on the prophet.
Go up, so that you can continue to rule this empire and continue to abuse arcane magic as unscrupulously as before. Arcane magic should be abolished!
The Chief Palace Mage intends to put an end to this dangerous speculation and tries to find the five-color dragon clan and ask the popular guardian dragon to come forward to tell the truth and clear the grievances of arcane magic. But every time he tries to do so, he is killed by a bronze head.
The dragon stopped.
The bronze dragon claimed to be the messenger of Nozdormu, the guardian of time, and she wanted others to call herself Chromie.
…
On the top of the mountain, Xal'atath and Azshara stood side by side.
Xal'atath is still the high elf wearing the same fiery red robe of the same color as Angmar. He is petite, has delicate features, but has the light of wisdom in his eyes.
However, Azshara has changed out of her iconic white dress and put on a set of extremely simple cotton and linen robes. An ordinary enchanted space bag hangs around her waist, and she also wears a silver long robe.
Her hair was hidden in a wide hood, and her face was covered by it. Only her shimmering amber eyes were looming. She looked like a traveler about to travel far away.
"If you leave now, you will never come back. Your people, your empire, and everything you hold dear will become a thing of the past because of this decision. Are you really ready?" Xal'atath
He suddenly asked.
Azshara half-turned her body, glanced at the bustling construction scene behind her, and sighed quietly, "I am very worried about the future of my people. Losing the Well of Eternity is an extremely heavy blow to everyone, both psychologically and physically.
A double whammy.”
"Believe me, there is nothing to worry about," Xal'atath smiled slightly, "In the words of Angmar, this is called 'losing something in the east, gaining something in the mulberry tree'."
The night elves lost the Well of Eternity.
It stands to reason that they are about to suffer from demonic addiction symptoms that are a thousand times more severe than those of the blood elves in later generations.
But because Illidan poured three bottles of water from the Well of Eternity into the spring at the top of Mount Hyjal, this scene did not happen.
This "New Well of Eternity" is not the root cause of freedom from demonic addiction, but it is the direct cause. This incident led to the three guardian dragons coming and planting the destroyed Mother Tree on the spring.
Nir's seed was named Nordrassil, and he gave part of his protective power to bless this new World Tree.
Alexstrasza was blessed with life force from the titan Eonar; Ysera was blessed with the power of nature from the same titan; Nozdormu was blessed with life force from the titan Aman'Thul.
The power of time will bless you.
In addition, as one of the ecological experimental sites for the Guardians of the Sequencing Period, the Mount Hyjal area with extremely rich natural energy also provides guarantee for the thriving growth of Nordrassil. Not to mention, this world tree
The tree is rooted in the new Well of Eternity, which contains vast amounts of magic.
The night elves can continue to enjoy everything they once had, and all the problems caused by the loss of the Well of Eternity will naturally be solved. Although Nordrassil is not as good as the Well of Eternity, it is still much better than nothing. The process of gradually connecting it,
It's not as difficult as imagined at all.
"What is lost in the east is gained in mulberry trees..." Azshara tasted this strange-sounding and unclear phrase, and seemed to notice something.
After a while, she nodded firmly and said, "Yes, I'm ready."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was suddenly an extremely majestic magical energy rising straight into the sky. The aftermath of the arcane energy that spread was the unique magic power of the Well of Eternity! And the origin of the explosion was on the mountaintop platform not far away.
.
Azshara was about to leave immediately to find out what was going on, but she found that Xal'atath beside her was indifferent to this, and she couldn't help but hesitate.
"I shouldn't go, right?" she asked softly.
Xal'atath replied: "It's just history repeating itself. Dath'Remar is coming, please explain the last things. We will set off in a while."
Sure enough, as she said, Dath'Rema Sunstrider quickly ran up all the way, looking extremely anxious.
Seeing the Queen's appearance, the chief court mage couldn't help but be slightly surprised, and then said anxiously: "Your Majesty, something happened!"
"Don't be anxious, speak slowly."
"It's Illidan...he actually hid the water from the Well of Eternity! Just now, he poured three bottles of well water into the spring on the top of the mountain without notifying anyone, and even used magic to seriously injure him before he came to dissuade him.
Jarod Shadowsong!"
Azshara suddenly realized, no wonder the magic power fluctuations were so familiar.
She suddenly felt extremely relieved, which was equivalent to saying that Illidan had created a second Well of Eternity for her people. Although the magic source created by the three bottles of well water could not be compared with the one she once had, at least in this way, she could live close to the spring.
The suffering suffered by the people will be greatly alleviated.
"How is Jarod's injury?" she asked.
"Illidan struck hard, but fortunately Tyrande Whisperwind is here. It's nothing serious. He just needs to recuperate for a while. But your Majesty, you know that the criticism caused by this incident will probably not be too small..."
Dath'Rema's tone was helpless.
Just like the extremely popular Malfurion, Jarod Shadowsong also became a hero admired by everyone because of his performance in the war.
After Star Eyes died, due to his outstanding performance in the battle, he was unanimously recognized by the army as a civilian and became the de facto commander. Under his leadership, these tens of thousands of defeated soldiers and Edori
After the main force of the coalition forces at the pass gathered together, they fought consecutive battles, clearing most of the obstacles on the road ahead for the coalition forces. Faced with this impressive record, even some veterans who had experienced the expansion war felt ashamed, and the demigods even more
It is a willingness to obey His mediation.
For many years, the Kaldorei Empire has never had a civilian-born soldier sit in his seat. Due to his status, there are countless young people who are from the same low-level background but are determined to make achievements in their careers. They worship him. The civilian class even regards him as a soldier.
He is a great hero...
Such a person is largely associated with the word magic and Illidan, who represents the prophet, was seriously injured. The impact is unimaginable. Of course, the image and status of the prophet who saved Azeroth will not be affected at all.
If it is damaged, magic will no longer work, and the high elves who are closely related to magic will be even worse.
"Dath'Remar, you can handle all this, right?" Azshara turned around and faced the endless sea in the distance again, and said softly.
Dath'Rema was a little confused, but still humbly replied: "Although it is very difficult, I will try my best to mediate, Your Majesty the Queen."
"That's good," Azshara nodded, "This promise is enough, and I can trust you with everything."
After saying that, she nodded to Xal'atas, and the two of them walked slowly towards the distance.
To be continued...
