Chapter 35: The Balance of Strength
Chapter 35: The Contrast of Forces
Vane and the three of them quickly cleaned up, then closed the door and left the cabin to go outside. By this time, it was relatively close to the time of departure. There were already a number of High Elves on deck, and some were heading in the direction of the ship.
"Why are there so many High Elves from the outer villages?" Kalia had never paid attention to any of this before, and today she suddenly noticed that there were many High Elves outside the village who were very curious.
"Don't you know? They were all going to leave Quel'Thalas by boat and go out on an adventure. Barka explained.
"But why did they leave Quel'Thalas?" Kalia asked curiously.
"You won't understand this now, but you'll understand it when you grow up." Vane said as he suddenly rubbed Kalia's hair.
"That's right." Kalia nodded blankly, she didn't know why those High Elves had left Quel'Thalas, but Brother Vane had told her that she would understand when she grew up. So she didn't ask any more.
These High Elves were High Elves who had traveled from all over Quel'Salas. Thanks to the delicious fish soup in the village, the fame of the song of Drifting Zero soon spread. In particular, there are many legends in each port.
In the past, if a High Elf wanted to leave Quel'Thalas, the land route was to take the Stratholme road, and the water route was to take the Sunsail Harbor. Now that there is another village of Song of Wandering Songs on the waterways, many of the High Elves who have ambitions and don't want to eat and die in Quel'Salas have gathered here and sailed here to the outside world in search of opportunities.
Unlike the village, where villagers go out on adventures from time to time, villagers come back to rest after going out for a while. These High Elves who go out in search of opportunities are different, and once they go out, they rarely come back. Anyway, Vane had lived thirty years, and he had never heard of the High Elves who had left Quel'Thalas.
Normally, High Elves who are out looking for opportunities tend to head to Dalaran to find a way to climb there. After all, there are also the arcanists of Quel'Salas as high-level presiding over things in Dalaran, which is relatively familiar, and it doesn't seem to be a pool of stagnant water like Quel'Thalas. Dalaran, who is also a gathering place for mages, is the best place for most of the High Elves who have left, where they have the magical knowledge they can study and learn, allowing them to advance in the realm of arcane.
The remaining High Elves who did not make it to Dalaran either died outside, or they were living outside and did not intend to return to Quel'Thalas. It's just that the High Elves of Dalaran are okay, they are not short of money as mages, so they can often buy some arcane energy crystals to relieve their addiction. The High Elves who didn't stay in Dalaran were different, the farther the Arcane Power Crystals were transported, the more expensive they became, so they had to endure the pain of demonic addiction on a regular basis, and if they didn't get it right, they would go crazy. Therefore, the real survival of the High Elves in the outside world is very rare.
What is the High Elf addiction? That's because the High Elves have lived in a high-concentration arcane energy environment for a long time, and it is their normal need to adapt themselves to this high-concentration arcane energy environment. It's like a human being eating and drinking. Once you leave, it's as if you're hungry. It's okay not to eat one or two meals, but who can stand it for a few years at once? It would be strange that most High Elves who don't have enough perseverance don't go crazy.
Based on the number of High Elves who leave the village every year, Vane had roughly calculated that if all the High Elves who went out were still alive, the High Elves in the entire Azeroth would be much more than the 200,000 High Elves here in Quel'Thalas, but unfortunately many ambitious High Elves were unwilling to stay in Quel'Thalas, because there was no passage for them to ascend here.
If you're content with the ordinary, Quel'Thalas is a good place to be, at least there are no existential worries and no dangers. But such an external environment is unbearable for these ambitious High Elves as if they were in hell. So much so that they would rather risk their lives to leave Quel'Thalas and look for opportunities outside.
Vane and Kalia, along with Balka, stood on the edge of the deck, watching the humans and dwarves on the docks carry all sorts of things.
Before, when he first saw a human in Azeroth, Vane felt that he was wrong, it shouldn't be humans, it should be dwarves, because in his consciousness, only dwarves can appear so stocky.
The humans of Azeroth are very thick, and the arms of men can be thicker than the thighs of male High Elves, and women are no exception, except that the arms of human females are as thick as the thighs of female High Elves. Only the occasional human aristocratic women appear a little thinner, but these human aristocratic women are still stronger than the High Elf men, and much thicker than the High Elf women.
As for the dwarves, well. In Vane's opinion, they are already like meat balls, and some of them are much longer horizontally than vertically. The height is generally about 1.2 meters, but the strength is greater than that of humans.
If you calculate the value of the DND's attributes, the power of an ordinary High Elf is 8. The strength of the Elite Ranger in the High Elves is 9. Only the High Elves will have 10 Powers. It's not that you can't, but you need to be very specific and targeted to exercise strength. It's like a weightlifter, but if you just exercise like this, it will affect other aspects, and whether the impact is good or bad is up to each elf.
Humans are generally more powerful than elves. The average human strength is 10 points, and the strength of an elite warrior who has been trained hard can reach 11 points. Similarly, the hero-level strength with better nutrition and training conditions is usually around 12 points, and the specific level depends on the class division. For example, a profession such as a warrior who eats by strength, and the strength will reach its peak. And the strength of the thief can reach 11 points, which is already the highest level.
Dwarves are more powerful than humans, and thanks to the dwarves' love of iron, ordinary dwarves have 12 points of strength. They were even able to reach a maximum of 14 points. Because of this, dwarves mostly use axes and hammers as their own melee weapons. Vane felt that if a dwarf with 14 points of strength who could use the racial talent skill of the Celestial Descent, once he used the racial talent skill of the Celestial Descent, their strength would probably reach at least 18 points or more.
