Chapter 32 Silvermoon City

"Hey, beauty, there's still a long way to get from here to Silvermoon City, do you want me to give you a ride?"

It was the first thing Sylvanas said when she saw the overly young human paladin commander, and it was something special to her at the time...... Frivolous. But when she glanced at it carefully, she could naturally see with her eyes that the shields and swords used by Adlan were all dragon style, but the armor he was wearing was the standard officer-style armor in the human army, but the enchantment fluctuations that emanated were derived from the same kind as his sword and shield, but this kind of mixed and matched style made Sylvanas and the other High Elves who were paying attention to this place a little curious.

What is the identity of this human?

But on the other hand, the first words of the peculiar human paladin were quite frivolous, which undoubtedly made Sylvanas angry and funny, and felt that the other party was very reluctant to be too restrained by herself, so she also showed a rare smile after the outbreak of this war, "This is a tempting proposal, but I have to bring our wounded ...... Oh, look at the look in your eyes, ignorance is terrible, don't question the footsteps of any ranger, you will see how we are going. ”

The brief exchange and the intense handling of the wounded ended with great efficiency, and before Adelan could even organize the paladins to charge again, the rangers had already done their work, and now the paladins acted as temporary priests, and the healing spells of the Holy Light provided emergency treatment for the wounded.

Then, after a slight delay, the rangers used their bows and arrows to fight back, and the team soon began to break through. So Edlan saw with his own eyes that the rangers who had contributed their chocobos to the wounded followed the ranger general, who had regained the supply of arrows, to keep up with the breakout cavalry at an unbelievably fast speed, and also maintain accurate shooting at high speeds!

This made Arthas, who still wanted to fight the idea of this breakout team, feel very tricky, except for the gargoyles, the undead did not have such a highly mobile force, the ghouls were too weak, the number of death knights was too small, and the dozen or so dark rangers who had just been resurrected could not become the climate, plus the gargoyle troops here were almost swept away by the raid of the dragon eagle force just now, and it would take time for gargoyles from other places to arrive. With this gap, Arthas is confident that his good friend will not let go of such an opportunity.

So now, with the blessing of several buffs from Edlan, and under the effective command of Sylvanas, the combat efficiency of the rangers has more than doubled, allowing the remaining 2,000 or so rangers to quickly escape from the encirclement of the undead army!

"Edlan...... You will be my best courtier, and you will be ......."

With Arthas's hoarse and threatening words wafting through the ears of all the living, the reckless but very successful rescue operation came to an end. Soon after, with Sylvanas' clearance, the paladins in human form were able to take refuge in the large magical barrier that the High Elves were proud of......

But no one but Adelan knew that this thing was going to be useless soon......

In this breakthrough and retreat operation, the combat effectiveness of the rangers was amazing, but after the outbreak, the mood of sluggishness and defeat still spread in this rangers' troops, and what surprised Edlan even more was that Sylvanas did not make any morale-boosting and cohesive speeches or actions, she was just like an ordinary ranger who was lost in defeat, and her comrades were sad and sad.

This is by no means the quality of a mature leader, as the supreme leader of the rangers, she can be sad or lost, but that must be done in private, or immediately after showing such an expression, she will start to boost morale and unite people's hearts, and not like now, when the team needs her to stand up the most, she will also be lost and sad. While this brings the group closer together, it undeniably weakens her prestige in the unit and makes it seem incomplete.

From the battle just now, Edlan can also see that there are many small groups of rangers, which is indeed their forte, they are better at fighting in parts, and large-scale frontal conflicts are not their strong point, so in order to maintain the cohesion of such a small group, this is also the reason why Sylvanas does not unite the hearts of the troops?

Edlan didn't know, and he couldn't believe that this was the quality that a ranger general should have, but he thought about it, Sylvanas took over the position of ranger general from her dead mother, and the time in this position was still very short, the elves were immortal, from the orcs and trolls attacking Quel'Thalas to the final defeat of the orcs, it was only a dozen years, and it was just a "blink of an eye" process for the elves, right? In addition, the Windranger family is more uninhibited, except for Laras, who was doted on and disciplined more strictly but died young.

As the name suggests, they are wind-prohibited, unrestrained and free-spirited. This can be seen from Sylvanas's love of cultivating Nathanos Maris despite the pressure of all sides, and the pressure from various aspects, from the royal family to his colleagues to the worldly view of the High Elves, and the recognition of his status as a Ranger Lord.

This Ranger General is a man of true temperament.

Normally, such a person will have a high charisma, but if she is not acting safely, she still urgently needs a presence that can assist her, such as another Ranger Lord, Lotherma Theron. He was Sylvanas' lieutenant for a long time, although his presence in the "afterlife" was indeed very ...... Inferior.

But it is undeniable that this one's steadfastness has also preserved Aurelia, who was in crisis due to the attack of the red dragon enslaved by the orcs. However, after that, especially in "this battle", Lotherma's role was much less, and even to a certain extent, due to his carelessness with his old friend, Darkan gathered from him almost the entire set of magical defense barriers about the intelligence held by the upper echelons of the rangers.

This indirectly laid the seeds for Quel'Thalas's downfall. Although Lothmar realized the mistake in the nick of time and quickly took action, it was already too late, as the army of death in Arthas had already breached Silvermoon......

The "memories" are over, and time returns to the present.

After entering the magic barrier, whether it was the rangers or their ranger generals, all the high elves' expressions were extremely relaxed, and even the most basic scouts did not send out reconnaissance again. It is not difficult to see that the inherent impression that "the magic barrier is invincible and absolutely safe" has been deeply implanted in the mind of every High Elf.

But just like the deeper and more devout the faith, when the faith collapses, these High Elves who believe in the absolute nature of the magical barrier will become so desperate, especially their strongest incarnation, their king, who led the High Elves to defeat the trolls and defeat the orcs, the Sun King, died on the edge of Queldanus Island, defending the Sunwell...... Then those desperate High Elves deeply felt all the negative emotions that erupted after the pollution of the Sunwell, how tormenting it was......

......

Two days later, Silvermoon City.

Although Adlan is a time-traveler, he is accustomed to the steel jungle metropolis of high-rise buildings when he drifts north, and after crossing over, he has also been to the magnificent city of Lordaeron, and even to the rebuilt Stormwind City, and has also experienced the same magical Dalaran...... But when he entered Silvermoon City, his first impression was the same as that of Herold's rookie paladins, exactly the kind of country man who had been in a state of seclusion for a long time to enter the city.

To describe the city in Edlan's barren vocabulary, he could only say things like "It's so big! it's beautiful!" But even these words, after the mouths of the paladins who were as young as him, the High Elf rangers who entered the city together all showed a look of pride and disdain.

Because in the eyes of human beings, Silvermoon City is indeed a great cause that they can't imagine, but in the eyes of the high elves, this is just to restore the glory of the elf empire as much as possible, and try to restore the architectural style of the time.

It doesn't matter about nationality, even if those who were born and raised in Lordaeron feel that only their own royal city is the best city, but this does not prevent them from having a great fondness for Silvermoon City, and this favorability has also improved even more as they move and discover more interesting and novel new gadgets.

For example, some magic brooms that automatically sweep the streets, huge arcane golem guards standing guard, magic street lamps that emit colorful light veils in broad daylight, and some flying books that don't know what to do...... There are also curious High Elf civilians who have seen so many humans come to Silvermoon City for the first time, and these extremely everyday things for High Elves have always made those who survived the battlefield feel completely relaxed......

Sure enough, peace is the best.

The 300 rangers who led Edlan and his party to Silvermoon City were assigned to the city's station, and Sylvanas was summoned to meet the Sun King, and her ranger troops were resting in different places, and it was estimated that they would soon return to the battlefield. Ms. Denev had her own mission, and Adelan knew about it, so she agreed to leave the team and go it alone under the pretext of "visiting old friends". And Edlan and the others were arranged in a hotel, and in this hotel, which was like a tower, these humans who had climbed high and looked far away really had a general understanding of the whole picture of Silvermoon City-

From the outside, the whole city has the feeling of "burning" white jade, and then it is followed by a flood of high-rise buildings, the appearance of which makes Herold feel that each one is completely like a palace. Edlan also felt that the golden material was too luxurious, not the gold made of holy light or other energy, and Adeline suspected that it was purely a precious metal like gold nuggets.

Although gold is not the hardest metal currency in the world of Azeroth, the exterior wall decoration of this art-like building smelted and carved with such a large amount of gold ore really has to be said that the High Elves are indeed very rich, rich enough to match, and rich enough to be so rich that mortals like Adlan dare not think of it.

Silvermoon City encompasses almost 80% of Quel'Thalas' population, and the Kingdom of the High Elves is almost equal to a country.

The unimaginably vast area of the city, the large but unusually reasonable layout of buildings, the ingenious combination of green, yellow and red plants, and the dizzying array of magical creations...... These things are refreshing the aesthetics of these "dirt buns" human beings all the time, including Herold, I am afraid that many people have decided that there will be no more magnificent cities in this world, if there is, it must only exist in mythology, the cloud city that only gods are qualified to live in.

This really made them guess right, Edlan listened to the chatter of these paladins with a relaxed expression, while thinking, if he really had the opportunity to take these dirt buns to see the Ulduar left by the Titans in the future, he really wanted to see what the expressions of these guys were.

Even though he hadn't seen it himself......

"I've heard for a long time that the High Elves are the teacher of all human mages, and now it seems to be true. ”

"yes, this is a magical city! I don't think Dalaran can compare to this place, right?"

"No, this should be a city of miracles, right?!"

While enjoying the VIP treatment, the carefully selected high-quality food and drinks provided by the High Elves, and discussing what they had just seen, these human "dirt buns" were constantly adding to their barren language bank, and they couldn't hold back a few more new compliments after thinking about it for a long time.

Soon, a well-dressed palace attendant came to the inn, "Your Majesty, Mr. Anaheim, please come with me, you need a thorough bath to keep you clean and tidy." ”

Actually, there is a bathroom in this inn, but it seems that Edlan and these paladins didn't think of going to take a bath as soon as they came here, because they had been busy for so long and had been fighting for so long, and they were also hungry, and although they enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the High Elves, the beautiful scenery couldn't be eaten, right?

For the fighting men who are fighting on the march, food is the second most important thing after how to protect themselves on the battlefield. So the paladins gathered together in amazement and feasted on the high-end and well-made food...... This scene not only made the owner and attendants of the inn despised, but also made the palace attendants who had just arrived feel deep contempt for these so-called "human missions" in their hearts.

Dirt buns are dirt buns, and there is no grace at all, even the paladin commander who claims to be a nobleman, they actually use their hands to grab food directly for the sake of convenience?! Those exquisite silver cutlery are almost prepared for nothing! This is the unanimous conclusion of the high elves after seeing these paladins eating.

Afterwards, Edlan followed the palace attendant to a bathroom in the side hall of the palace.

"Please take care of your cleaning here, we have prepared your change of clothes, and please don't worry about your equipment, they will be cleaned and maintained by someone, and you can get them back when you meet Your Majesty. Well, I'll meet you in half an hour. With that, the palace attendant departed.

Although Adelan believed in the character of these High Elves, because he was "inferior" in their eyes, so their arrogance usually disdained the idea of fighting these "inferior" properties, but Edlan was obviously from the dragon family, and any knowledgeable High Elf could see it, which had to worry him, afraid that some elves would be profitable. Although this is very unlikely......

After all, it's easy to say that he is now an envoy of a country, even if he claims to be a self-proclaimed, but Lordaeron's emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and even if it has fallen to this point, it still has some influence, so most of the envoy's things will not be openly attacked by this crooked idea, as for those high elf nobles who have a collector's habit, it is not easy to say, maybe there are some stumbling blocks in secret. However, it won't be that the fox's tail will be shown immediately, after all, he Edlan is about to meet the Sun King, and at this time, he will make a fuss, and no nobleman will do such a stupid act......

Just after a paranoia episode of paranoia from a traverser undressing at a stripping station, Adline enters the bathroom where he can smell some kind of flower in it from afar.

The bathroom is very large, this can be regarded as the size of a small swimming pool, just looking at the vast area, steaming bath, so that Edlan can't help but smack his lips, it is more than enough to stuff 20 people here, and the bathroom is also inlaid with gold and silver, wonderful carving art abounds, this kind of luxury is really not something that ordinary people can enjoy, the important thing is that this is still a bathroom for foreign envoys, so if it is really a nobleman or a royal family, how luxurious will it be?

Quickly taking off the last liner on his body that had been stained with sweat and the corpse oil on the corpse of the undead and throwing it aside, Adeline couldn't wait to enter the just right warm bath, he slowly sat down, he felt that this unknown stone ground was round but not slippery, through the clear water surface you can also see the high elves' meticulous design, very intimate set up from shallow water to deep water area to cope with different heights of people.

After completely relaxing, someone was interested in the "faucet" carved into the appearance of a mana floating dragon, and Edlan walked a little deeper, he touched the "faucet" that was almost the same material as the ground, and the same touch, the level of lifelike carving really made the dead thing look like the real thing.

There are a total of 10 such "faucets" in this bath, and Edlan wonders, if this is the amount of water injected, then this pool will already overflow...... Then he dived his head underwater to take a closer look, good fellow, there are also 10 floor drains that are constantly draining out!

In other words, the water in this bath is alive, not poured in and blocked, but kept the water warm and finished soaking, it is like a natural hot spring, the water is active water, not dead water!

"Tsk, how much does this cost......" Edlan smacked his lips as he rinsed off his dirt and cleansed his body-toned body with a "shower gel" provided by the High Elves that had been developed by their mage.

That's right, "shower gel". For a while, Adeline thought that he was wearing it again, using this kind of condensed milk and other things to bathe and wash his hair, which was not only many times better than the soap horn used in the human world in terms of cleansing effect, but Adelan himself could smell that his body was covered by this faint maple syrup aroma.

It's so luxurious!

Magic has been used by these high elves to this extent, and it is even more difficult to imagine how the upper elves of the magical civilization reached an extraordinary height in those days lived a luxurious life...... This reminded Adlane of a phrase he had heard before the time travel to describe a similar scene: "The end of technology is magic, and the end of magic is technology......

"Whewβ€”it's so comfortable......"

"Soaking in the hot springs" will indeed give people a kind of complete relaxation, wrapped in the warm water temperature, this unusually high-level comfort, so that Edlan even forgot his mission, forgot his identity, and forgot his ideals for a while......

At this moment, there is only this room of "hot springs" and a physically and mentally exhausted teenager who has been healed by "hot springs......

It's better to take this opportunity to meditate, anyway, it's okay to take a bath, and meditation is a compulsory course for priests to do every day, so it's good to save some time if you can.

So, I don't know if it was a few seconds or a few minutes later, Edlan felt that he was dreaming again, but this time it didn't seem to be pulled into the Emerald Dream again, but a place very similar to the warmth of the "hot spring" he was in, it was a white and vast light, and there was no other color except light.

Here Edlan saw countless kinds of "tangrams", and then he probably understood what kind of place this was, that is, the cosmology introduced in a certain book chronicle, the power to which the Naru belonged, light, and this white expanse was probably the realm of light, right?

Probably......

P.S1: Added a bit of a weird use to the High Elves' magic...... The official setting and the novel should all be described and set by Mu in this regard, right?So I added a little bit without permission.,Let's just change it as a demon.,Anyway, there were a lot of things that were changed before.。

P.S2: Magic is a very convenient setting, not only can you use quantum mechanics, but it seems that you can also apply magic formulas.
