Quel'Salas.

Silvermoon City Council Hall.

The atmosphere was solemn, and the High Elves present, each elf's face was serious as if frost was about to drip down.

No wonder these elves have such bad expressions, because something big has happened in Quel'Salas in the past two days.

Two days ago, Quel Salas inexplicably appeared an energy vortex, and that huge energy vortex almost enveloped most of Silvermoon City.

It frantically absorbs all energy, whether it is the energy and radiation of the sunwell everywhere in the air, or the magic power of the elves, or the energy of various magical creations and magical creatures!

The elves were simply terrified. Quel'Salas was founded for more than 6,000 years and nothing like this has ever happened.

His Majesty Anastarian immediately made a decision and ordered all the elite elven mages and troops to go to Queldanas Island to defend the Sunwell to the death!

On the side of Silvermoon City, only a part of the rangers and the army remained.

As a result, the most elite mages stayed in Queldanus for more than a day, but they didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.

The sunwell is in good condition and there is no sign of an intruder. The elven mages went out on patrol and found that the energy vortex was occurring in Silvermoon City, and it was still drawing energy.

To be on the safe side, His Majesty Anastarian left most of the mages to continue to guard Queldanus, and then personally led some of the most elite mage troops back to Silvermoon City.

Before the High Elves could find the core and source of the energy vortex, this black hole of energy paralyzed most of Quel'Thalas, and all the High Elves were terrified. Just as inexplicable as it happened, it disappears inexplicably.

The elves continued to be on guard, and continued to be on high alert for two days, and everything went on as usual.

Usual?

Of course it can't be business as usual!

This inexplicable disaster lasted for a total of two sunrises and sunsets.

It was almost all over Quel'Thalas, when almost the entire realm was in an energy vacuum, and the elves who were accustomed to the energy of the sunwell were deprived of all the energy needed by the vortex.

Only the island of Queldanas, where the sunwell is located, has a continuous supply of energy from the sunwell, and the situation is relatively good.

Elsewhere in the kingdom, all the elves thought the end of Quel'Salas had come.

If it's not the end of the world, why is the energy of the sunwell suddenly gone? It's as if the water for a fish to survive suddenly disappears when they swim in the water.

Without the energy of the sunwell, the magic broom and puppet sanitation machinery that work automatically stop working; Losing the Sunwell energy, the seedlings in the Potions Garden nursery stopped growing; Without the energy of the sunwell, there is no energy to sustain the various magical creations of the kingdom; Without the energy of the Sun Well, even the barrier that kept the kingdom safe was temporarily invalid.

Is that the end of the world?

Fortunately, the energy vortex eventually disappeared. The energy of the sunwell returned to the elves, and all the elves who had been hungry and thirsty for two days came to life again.

It's just that it's no longer possible to be business as usual.

The elves who have enjoyed themselves for thousands of years have only learned their fragility after they have lost them.

It turned out that without the energy provided by the sunwell, the power that he was proud of, the country he was proud of, was so vulnerable!

Even if the Sunwell energy has returned for a few days, the entire magical realm is as panicked as ever.

"Doomsday theory", "sunwell disappearance theory", "demon invasion theory", "high-level civil war theory" and other remarks continue to appear, the rulers of the kingdom have almost been drained of brain cells for this, and the elven elite can only go everywhere to appease their compatriots.

It is here that the Council of the Silver Moon, which rules the entire kingdom, gathers for this purpose, and it is rare for all of them to be present.

The Parliament was the ruling body of Quel'Thalas, and at the same time, the Sunstriders retained a small amount of political power as royalty.

The Council is made up of the seven greatest noble lords of the High Elves, and the Sunstrider is the arbiter of them, with a veto.

But the royal family rarely uses this right.

The reason for this is nothing more than various political compromises and political exchanges.

The seven councillors, representing the seven most powerful and powerful clans in Quel'Salas, are - Salona, Draxiel, Morning Walker, Dawn Star, Sun Wing, Dawn Blade, and Solar Eclipse.

These seven councillors are also the most powerful mages in Quel'Thalas. Seven councillors, plus the royal family, make up the ruling body at the top of the Magic Kingdom.

The king - the council, and below the council is the archmage, the representative of the mage. Representative generals of the army.

The kingdom's army is mainly composed of rangers, and the representatives of the army have always been known as ranger generals.

And historically, the position of the Grand Magister has often been held by members of the Seven Great Clans, just like this Royal Grand Magister of Quel'Salas, Beloval Salona.

Beloval is both an archmage and a member of the council, a representative of the House of Salona.

There is no speaker of parliament, and the king is the nominal speaker.

The meeting begins.

"The people of the kingdom are terrified. Civilians must not spend their days long, mages are emaciated, and armies are exhausted. "Presiding over the meeting was

The king, despite the urgency of the situation, was as calm as ever.

Three thousand years ago, in the War of the Trolls, Quel'Thalas nearly destroyed the country, and it was he who turned the tide and brought in the human allies to win.

Today's situation is not as urgent as it was 3,000 years ago, although the situation is serious. But there were no casualties, it was just that the magical creations, magical enchantments, and veins were damaged and collapsed because of the energy sucked away.

Compared to these real-life losses, the job of the elven rulers is to stabilize the hearts and minds of the people of the magical realm and reassure the commoners.

The king's voice was steady and quiet, like a scholar reading a manuscript, and he called out his name flatly: "Masters, tell me what you think." What do we need to do to put everyone at ease as soon as possible? ”

Saigor Winged Eight Rings, majoring in the School of Change, Chief Administrative Officer of Quel'Thalas, a mage with a round face, and a Grand Butler of the Elves.

He was the first to speak: "The most urgent thing is to reassure the hearts of the people." The best way to do this is to hold a celebration and soothe their panicked hearts with revelry and wine. ”

"It's a passable proposition. What is the reason? They have just gone through this, and there is no good reason, and I am afraid that it will backfire. Shane Dawnblade Master spoke.

Shane Dawnblade, the Eight Rings, majoring in enhancement and protection, is the head of the Royal Mage Guild, responsible for all of Quel'Salas mage's training and all things arcane.

The third speaker was Greenville Morning Walker, the Eight Rings, who majored in the School of Plastic Energy and managed financial expenditures, and he had a burn on his forehead, which was said to be caused by his spell being out of control.

"The treasury is full, and the carnival can make the people happy. There's enough wine to make everyone drunk. But as Master Shane said, what is the reason for holding this carnival? Among the people, there are still some disobedient and intelligent elves. ”

Chief Tax Officer, Jaynrini Dawn Star, Eight Rings, majoring in the School of Illusions, offers his own proposal:

"We can say that the previous change was caused by a demonic invasion. Under the leadership of the council and the king, the mages heroically defeated the demons and successfully protected the sunwell. To celebrate this victory, a carnival ceremony was held. ”

"I agree. And I thought I could add an anniversary to it, and we would have the same party every year, and the name of the anniversary was "Demon Defeat Day". "Bridges de la Heel, the Eighth Ring, is a master of plastic energy and the master of managing the legal affairs of Quel'Salas.

Among the members of the council, only the Royal Archmage Beloval Salona, who presided over the mage troops, and Drake Eclipse, who presided over the work of the Arcane Research Academy in Quel'Salas, did not speak.

Drake Eclipse is a scholar-type mage, the Eight Rings, majoring in protection and change, and has never liked to speak in meetings. He prefers to stay in his mage tower and explore the arcane and truth.

Beloval Salona, majoring in Shaping and Enhancement, is one of only two Nine-Ring Mages in the realm - the other is His Majesty Anastarian Sunstrider.

The king is the titular Speaker, and Belovar Salona, who controls most of the mage army, is the de facto Speaker.

The parliamentarians all looked at him, and even the king's eyes were on Beloval Salona.

Beloval Salona spoke.

The mage who was the best at fighting in the kingdom said unwillingly: "I can't find the culprit, I can't find the real reason." And that's all it can be...... I agree, let's have a celebration. Soothe the hearts of the people with sake and revelry. ”

The actual Speaker nodded.

The parliamentarians all looked at the titular Speaker, His Majesty the King of Quel'Salas, the Sun King, Anastarian Sunstrider.

"So be it. Prepare for a celebration. ”

Anastarian Sunstrider stood up and calmly turned to leave.
