Chapter 210: Preparing for War
Lannathel's words actually represent the views of many elves.
As her words fell, the High Elves from all over the meeting began to whisper......
Thousands of years of "peaceful" life have given the High Elves of Quel'Salas a strong sense of pride, or confidence.
In fact, this is not a good thing...... In his previous life, the kingdom in which Carlin lived had experienced such a period of time hundreds of years ago...... But when the dream of "the Celestial Empire has everything" is shattered by the strong ships and cannons, what will be followed will be a tragic and ruthless history.
Carlin furrowed his brow slightly, and then said calmly, "Lady Lannacel...... Three thousand years ago, when Sinsa was under Silvermoon, I'm sure the Queldore's higher-ups at the time wouldn't have thought that way with you. ”
"You ......" Hearing Carlin's words, Lannasel's eyes suddenly widened and his face was full of anger.
Sinsa was the king of the forest trolls during the Troll Wars 3,000 years ago...... At that time, the army of trolls under his command captured most of Quel'Thalas, and at one time slaughtered under the gates of Silvermoon City; If it hadn't been for the timely arrival of human reinforcements, the Well of the Sun would have fallen.
Undoubtedly, this incident is also regarded as the greatest shame by almost all Queldore.
Not only Lannather, but Carlin could also feel the anger in the eyes of the other elves at this time.
"When Sinsa Chen Bing is under the Silver Moon City!" Lannathel said almost viciously, "...... At that time, the Silver Moon Council was far less powerful than it is now! ”
She's right, because magic is also evolving...... The level of the three-thousand-year-old Silver Moon City was undoubtedly much worse than it was now, and it was impossible for so many gray-robed, brown-robed, and blue-robed archmages to appear as it is now.
"I'm honored to be so powerful as Quel'Thalas, ......ma'am," Carlin suddenly bowed deeply and said, "But after witnessing the horrors of the green-skinned monsters, it's hard for me to have the confidence of you......"
"Astral Mage Medivan, my mentor in the South!" Karin paused and continued, "He's an extremely terrifying mage...... But even for him, the final outcome is to die at the hands of some green-skinned monsters! ”
"Astral Mage Medivan?"
"Existence above the Nine Rings?"
"How is it possible to die at the hands of the tribe?"
Carlin's last sentence immediately stirred up a thousand waves, and the mages, who seemed to be disdainful of the tribe just now, suddenly began to argue with solemn faces.
Even Lannasel, who firmly believed that the tribe would never be able to break through the protection of the rune stone, seemed to be a little hesitant at this time.
Seeing their reaction at this time, Carlin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Karazhan's astral mage, Medivan...... Even the most arrogant elven mage can't help but use a respectful tone when he talks about the name.
Quite simply, he is a legendary mage; He has attained a realm higher than any Queldore from ancient times to the present day......
If even he died at the hands of the tribe, who would dare to underestimate the strength of those green-skinned monsters?
Of course, Carlin had a clever trick up his sleeve here...... After all, the real Medivan did not die at the hands of the tribe, but in order to calm the people, Lothar and the upper echelons of Stormwind declared it in unison; So he exaggerated so deliberately, and it was difficult for others to find anything wrong.
"The Well of the Sun is above, if a mage as strong as Medivan is above, he will die at the hands of the tribe!" I saw King Anastarian stand up, wave his hand, and signal everyone to be quiet:
"We have to face up to the Horde's threat to Quel'Thalas, and we must be fully prepared for defense!"
The king's words did not cause any opposition from the parliamentarians.
"Also, given that Carlin of the Sunfury Family, who is not afraid of hardships and dangers, has brought such an important message to Quel'Thalas!" The King continued to cried out, "In the name of the Well of the Sun, I nominate him to be a member of the Silvermoon Council......"
There was a brief silence, followed by a few seconds of uproar.
A six-ringed blue-robed man who has already made some merit for Quel'Salas, it is normal for him to be nominated as a councilor......
But the blue robe, who is so young that he has not even spent the first hundred years of his life; and it was a nomination made by His Majesty the King himself; There is no doubt that this is the supreme glory.
Carlin could even feel that the eyes of the people around him were looking at him, many of them with a little envy and even jealousy......
……
"The Silvermoon Council is a very loose organization, and most of the archmages of Quel'Salas are members of the council; Of course, different parliamentarians have completely different rights to speak, and blue-robed parliamentarians like us only have the most basic voting rights, and the number of votes they can provide is also very small! Walking side by side with Carlin, Tiffany said tactfully, explaining to Carlin.
Kane Sunfury was left behind by the king to discuss the future preparations; He had to leave the Sunseeker Court with the rest of the Sunrage family, but luckily there were acquaintances like Tiffany.
"Are there any restrictions?" Carlin asked softly, "For example, in a meeting like today, do you have to attend after becoming a councilor?" ”
Just now in the royal court, facing the "gift" of King Anastarian, he naturally would not openly refuse; But now, after the fact, he has to find out the identity of this "councilor".
"Of course not!" Tiffany smiled and shook her head: "There are seven councillors in the family, plus you are eight; As a result, only four of them showed up today...... For blue-robed and brown-robed parliamentarians, there is no mandatory requirement to attend the meeting! Of course, if you haven't attended a single meeting in 50 years, you'll be disqualified. ”
"Fifty years...... That's pretty loose! Carlin smiled.
This kind of loose system is indeed in line with the lazy and comfortable character of the High Elves.
And for the court of the Sunseekers, it was the existence of the parliament in such a loose form that allowed them to firmly control the country and not be overshadowed by it......
While Carlin was thinking, suddenly a white figure swept in front of him and quickly stepped into the royal court behind him......
"It's the Lord!" Tiffany lowered her head and whispered.
Carlin glanced back at the white figure and nodded silently.
In the entire area covered by the Well of the Sun, there is only one person other than King Anastarian who is qualified to wear the white robe:
That's the Archmage!
