During the Elven Empire, the system of the state was ruled by nobles under the queen.

In other words, the elven kingdom under the rule of Queen Azhara is a real feudal lordship, and the high elves of Quel'Thalas have also inherited this system, and finally, the aristocratic system of the human empire, in a large case, is actually modeled after this system.

The whole country was governed by a large number of lords, and the power was divided by blood.

As the most orthodox successor of the Elven Empire, the civilization system of the Night's Child Elves has almost completely extended the aristocratic system of Queen Aishara.

Among the Children of the Night, the Archmage Elisandr is the undisputed ruler, because before the outbreak of the Ancient War, she was the governor of Sulama City appointed by Queen Aishara herself, and although Elisandr's family has disappeared in time, the bloodline in her body is one of the noblest bloodlines during the Elven Empire.

And extending downward, every lord and elder here who is qualified to participate in the future discussion of the Children of the Night is from a noble background, even the chief arcanist Talisa, who cares about the people the most, is also from a small noble family, so to speak, in the culture of the Children of the Night, although the nobles' oppression of the commoners is not as naked as the nobles of the Human Empire, but the commoner class still does not have any power.

When Sulama City restricted the supply of mana wine in order to stabilize the city, the low-class civilians could not get enough mana wine and lived in pain and weakness every day. Lady Yuejun also held a grand aristocratic banquet, and the best magic wine was freely drunk, and even the lowest servants of her family did not need to worry about the magic wine control falling on their heads.

Lady Avasta admits that the Syndra Elves of the Federation may be the best choice for the Children of the Night civilization, but to be honest, if there were other options, she would never say this.

Because once the Nightchildren are subsumed into the federal system, hundreds of thousands of civilians will indeed get a perfect future, but at the cost... These nobles have been completely stripped of all power, and the inheritance, bloodline and glory they hold on to will become worthless.

These abstract things are worth defending for the human nobles of the short-lived race, not to mention that these real immortals, the concept of bloodline glory, is a part of their soul, which is difficult to be extracted.

Although the federal government welcomes the races who are willing to join the federation, they absolutely do not allow the situation of complete racial autonomy, even in the city of Lordaeron of the Sindra elves, it is not the 13 blood lords of Sindra who really hold the power of the city, but the governor sent by the federal government, although the vast majority of the people living in that city are Sindra elves, but the management system of the city is personally appointed by the Supreme Council of the Federation.

When the governor selects officials, there is no influence from the factors of "nobility" and "blood".

In other words, Mordant. Eikage and his brothers are only the spokesmen of the civilization of the race, not the rulers of the people.

And once the Night Child enters that land, this will also be the question that the Grand Magus Elisandr and the other Night Child Lords will have to face, whether to sacrifice their own glory and bloodline in exchange for the future of the people? Or do you cling to the inheritance and sit back and watch the catastrophe of the extermination continue?

This choice can be said to be very difficult for the rulers on this tower.

The seriousness and importance of this issue of bloodline and inheritance made Miss Talisa, the chief arcanist who is the spokesperson of the commoners, dare not speak easily, this wise young lady knows very well that once she pierces this layer of window paper, the contradiction between the survivalists and the conservatives will become extremely sharp, and if this matter is not handled well, the children of the night, who are already facing the final choice, will usher in a civil strife in an instant at this critical moment of life and death.

Above the entire tower, there was silence, no one spoke, everyone was making eye contact, the atmosphere became more and more tense, even like a battlefield full of murderous aura, and after several minutes, the Archmage Alisander, who had been silent, suddenly sighed, and the Archmage whispered:

"That's a pity, it seems that the Federation is not the destination of the Children of the Night..."

When these words were spoken, the atmosphere of the entire tower suddenly relaxed, which meant that the archmage denied the possibility of choosing the Federation, which made the nobles in the tower breathe a sigh of relief.

"Yes, the Federation is good, but they are not for us."

The Demon Swordsman Oruel said in a relaxed tone:

"Our people have long since adapted to our system, and rashly carrying out reforms is likely to cause more trouble, and even endanger the foundation of the existence of the Nightchild civilization."

"Well, Aururiel has a point!"

"I think so too."

"Maybe humans have different opinions, but at least for the Night Child Elves, the presence of nobility is still necessary."

The nobles agreed with Elisander's choice, and for a while, the atmosphere of the entire meeting became strangely relaxed.

But in fact, in addition to the background of the incident itself, the choice made by Elisander cannot be said to be wrong.

The concept of longevity and short-lived species is completely different, the existence of aristocracy, for the short-lived system, will inevitably breed terrible ** and waste, blocking the development of short-lived civilization, but for the longevity, the federal system and the rule of the aristocracy are not obviously up and down, the social form of the longevity is a typical "low**" society, the nobles are not longing for much, and the contradictions between them and the commoners are far less acute than the human aristocracy and commoners.

This can be seen in the 7,000-year-old kingdom of Quel'Thalas... For the immortals, the co-governance of the aristocracy is not a manifestation of backwardness, it is just a form of civilization that is more suitable for them.

Of course, there was another factor in making this decision that was in the hands of the Grand Magister Elisander, and of course, she couldn't be here, in public, to talk about her deal with the High Lord Tyrion.

Tyrion had promised her that as long as Elisandr could fulfill the High Lord's commands, then Tyrion would grant the Nightchild true "freedom".

A person of Tyrion's stature would not make a promise easily, but since he said so, it means that the High Lord may really be capable of solving the threat of demonic addiction.

"But what do we do now?"

Chief Arcanist Miss Talisa, after all, she is a person who does practical things, the tone of this amazingly talented arcanist is a little anxious, she looks at those relieved nobles, she is somewhat disdainful, but seriously, in her heart, she is actually relieved.

Although Talissa doesn't care about her nobility, she doesn't want to see the Nightchild's civil strife at this critical juncture, but the problem is that even if the Federation is vetoed, the Nightchild's troubles are still not resolved... They are still at a critical juncture of life and death, and the rulers of these children of the night must also come up with a way.

"If none of the other elves can be the hope of the Children of the Night, then where is our hope?"

Talissa said in a tone mixed with disappointment, pessimism and anguish:

"Every day, every day, there are poor people who are sliding towards the Hell of the Withered because they can't get enough magic, and we should come up with a solution... This is our duty and obligation! ”

"We'll definitely have a way."

The swordsman Lady Auruel muttered, which immediately drew a question from Talisa, who asked in a stern tone:

"So what's the method you're talking about? Oruriel! If you have a way to save us, speak up, if not, shut up! I've had enough of your naivety! ”

"What did you say?"

The young swordsman was almost immediately enraged by Talissa's reprimand, she stood up, picked up the blade in her hand, and glared at Talissa, who held the staff in his hand and was not afraid, seeing that the dispute between the two was about to escalate, a trace of disgust flashed on the face of the archmage Alisander:

"Enough! Fight out, fight! ”

The Grand Magister's shout made the two young men who wanted to do it immediately slumped.

Lady Elisandr hadn't fought for thousands of years, but she was still powerful enough to intimidate anyone among the Children of the Night, and under her gaze, Orurel and Talisa obediently sat back in their chairs, and the archmage, after stopping the argument, sat there with his eyes closed, as if thinking about something.

After more than ten seconds, she opened her eyes again, she looked at everyone in front of her, and she said:

"Talissa is right, we need to come up with a way to reassure our people and give them hope... But Orurel is right, we haven't really reached the point of despair, we haven't looked for all the elven inheritances in this world... There is hope. ”

Elisander's voice made the eyes of all the nobles present widen, although they didn't know much about the current world form of Azeroth, but the night elf Kadore, the upper elf Sindra, the high elf Queldore, at most plus the blood elf Salein and the just appeared Void Elf Rondore, at most counting the child of the night Shadore and those Fadorre spider demons who were twisted into bugs by the explosion of the Well of Eternity, this is already all the elven factions known to Azeroth, how can there be other inheritances?

Is this archmage of theirs really hallucinating because of too much stress?

The gaze of the elders and lords disgusted the archmage, and she shook her fingers and said in a deep voice:

"Enough, don't look at me like that! What I said is true, have you all forgotten? The orthodox inheritance of the Elven Empire, the once supreme and noble of the Elven Kingdom, Queen Eshara of the Light of Light..."

"She established the most extensive Naga kingdom in Azeroth at the bottom of the Lightless Sea, and the birth of Naga was born from the mutation of the upper elves, but I have not heard of any Naga who also has a difficult addiction, which means that our Queen Azhara may have found a way to cure the addiction... Unfortunately, with the current state of the Night's children, if we can regain the queen's grace, at least we won't need to worry about the threat from the demons. ”

Elisander's speech made all the nobles, elders, and lords present frown.

Indeed, although the upper elves of Surama did not really fall to Queen Esshara during the original battle of the ancients, from another point of view, Surama did not join the camp of the rebellious Lord Ravenkes, that is, the incense between the elves of Surama and Queen Azhara is still there...

I can't say, this seemingly whimsical idea is really possible... Succeed?

"But Queen Azhara hates all living things..."

Elder Aitaeus, the astrologer, said with a puzzled face:

"She was not a very easy person to deal with during the time of the Elven Empire, and now she is dragged into a dark and twisted abyss, no one can predict her thoughts and thoughts, and more importantly, Elisander, even if Queen Aishara is willing to help us, we have to weigh how heavy her "kindness" is... Don't forget, according to the information we've gathered, the Naga are in conflict with almost all of Azeroth's powers. ”

"If we stand on the side of Queen Azhara, it means that we have to give up the whole world and accept the hostility from the whole world, if it is just to preserve our own existence, this price is a little too great, and the most terrible thing is that if the news leaks, I am afraid that before we can complete the agreement with the queen, the Night Elves will kill her, Queen Eshara launched a war against the Night Elves a few years ago, and it is said that she killed hundreds of thousands of elves."

"So, this thing has to be done in secret."

The archmage narrowed her eyes, and she said:

"At least until we reach an agreement with Queen Azhara, this news cannot be known to any other power, Lady Moonjun, Lady Avasta, and Your Excellency Merandus, I entrust you to go to the forces of the three elves once again, and make a gesture that we are isolated and eager for help, as for Queen Azhara, she is an arrogant but tradition-minded person, so I must go and meet her in person."

"It's dangerous, Archmagus!"

The magic swordsman Oururel gritted his teeth and said:

"At least let me go with you, Elder Aitaus is right, 10,000 years have passed, and no one knows if our Queen Aishara has become a real... Monster! ”

"It doesn't have to be that way! If Queen Aishshara insists on killing me, even if you all go with me, it won't help, 10,000 years ago, she was the most powerful woman in this world, and 10,000 years later, her power will only become more terrifying. ”

The Archmage showed great sacrifice at this moment, she stretched out her finger and stroked the black ring on her finger, and said:

"There's no other way left, and that's the price the Nightchild has to pay..."

"I've made a choice!"

"So be it!"
