Chapter 878: Sulama (1/2)
There is a place called the "Well of the Night", an artifact called the "Eye of Al-Mansur", and a person named "Elisander".
In the distant antiquity, the relationship between these three was inseparable.
From the very beginning, Suramar was a glorious Night Elf city, ranked among the top five cities of all.
It's already pretty good.
Unlike other cities, the city is the center of the Luna belief and the center of cultural development.
There are not many high-level elves living here, but there are more night civilians, and then there are some members of the "Elune Sisterhood", as well as some Night Elf mages who advocate free research.
At that time, Sin Esaline was the capital, the residence of Her Majesty, royalty, and the upper elves, and Erezaras, now the Hammer of Doom, gathered a large number of mages second only to the capital, and then there was the Sandala built in the Northrend's Moonsong Forest in the Arctic, and the now barren Céllerol.
Comparatively, Sulama is more of a civilian city, a religious city.
The mages here aren't very strong, and the defenses of the entire city aren't very strong.
So when the Burning Legion first invaded 10,000 years ago, the city had almost no resistance.
In desperation, the highest-ranking mage in the entire city at that time, "Elisander", activated the defensive barrier of the entire city, isolating the attack of the Burning Legion and the sun and the moon.
Surama fell into darkness and became what is now the "City of Night".
From this city, you can see the glory of the ancient Night Elves.
Even if it was just an ordinary big city in that era, it was far from being comparable to the capital, and it was still larger than any racial city in the world today, even more than Stormwind, Lordaeron, and Ironforge combined.
It was a time of great glory.
Even the old days of the Troll Empire weren't as glorious.
In the entire history of Azeroth, there is only the period of the Dark Empire, which is more brilliant and magnificent than the Night Elf Empire, but far less wonderful than the Night Elf Empire.
Sulama, the last glory of the Ancient Night Elf Empire.
Losing the light of the sun and the moon, the people of Surama fell into a panic.
That's when Elisund stepped up again.
She used the "Eye of Almansur" to create the Well of Night, which provided energy and magical power to the entire city and all its inhabitants, ensuring that the city was intact in the Battle of the Ancients, and that all residents survived without threat.
It lasted for 10,000 years.
Until now.
Ten thousand years of mastery have allowed Elisandr, the archmage of the imperial era, to master a power about time and even be able to peek into the future.
It is not surprising that the energy of the Eye of Almansur is the energy of time.
After gaining this power, Elisandr began to jump over the timeline, but no matter how much she jumped, she could not see a bright future, and no matter what, she would die, and Sulama would be destroyed by the iron hooves of the demons.
In Azeroth's endless timeline, all the future she could see was falling.
Azeroth will fall, Surama will not be saved, and she herself will die.
For thousands of years, the children of the night in Sulama have grown up without worry, but she has been tormented.
It wasn't until five years ago that she discovered the anomaly.
Anomalies in the timeline.
From then on, she found that even with the power of the Eye of Al-Mansour, she could no longer see the future.
The timeline that had branched off after that point in time had become blurred, and something had changed everything.
It brings uncertainty, but also hope.
She doesn't have the hope of dying, and Surama doesn't have the hope of falling.
Elisander was looking for the one that would make a difference:
a person, or an object.
She thought that only the bronze dragon had the ability to change the timeline and change the future, but she didn't dare to go to the trouble of the bronze dragon.
Her power comes from the Eye of Almansur and the Well of Night.
Once she leaves these two things, her time magic is actually not even as good as an adult bronze dragon, and her spell-casting ability in other aspects is only equivalent to a legendary mage, which is not very strong.
And based on a certain psychology, she didn't dare to go to the bronze dragon, because she had been peeking at the timeline and crossing the timeline, which was probably not what the bronze dragon wanted to see.
The Well of Night can't be taken away, and she can't take the Eye of Almansur directly, because it is the existence of this artifact that maintains the existence of the Well of Night, once the Eye of Almansur disappears, the Well of Night will be in danger of collapsing, what should the people of the city do?
Later, she learned about Medivan's appearance and thought it was all related to Medivan.
But she still didn't dare to go to Medivan, because Medivan was much stronger than her.
She could only hide in her night fortress, and she had been living in torment.
Until today.
She sensed that the being, who had been changing the timeline and changing the future, had come to the city.
She knew that since that being came, it must have come to find herself, to find the Eye of Almansur.
So she called her strongest men and waited in the Night Fortress.
Only here will she have the confidence to face everything.
…………
Looking at the city in front of him, Jiang Zai seemed to see the metropolis on the earth in his previous life, which was brightly lit and lively.
Yes, lively.
The Burning Legion has not invaded again, and Archmage Elisander has not yet chosen to cooperate with the Burning Legion in order to protect himself and the city.
The children of the night who are not in danger are actually living well.
It would be nice if it went on like this, Elisander actually contributed a lot to the city, and she made what she thought was the right choice.
Actually, it was the right choice.
In the Battle of the Ancients, Sulama, who did not have many troops stationed in the first place, had not opened the defensive barrier, and had not used the power of the Eye of Almansur to create the Well of Night, I am afraid that the city would no longer exist.
Elisandr saved the whole city.
If it weren't for the Burning Legion re-invading, she wouldn't have gone to the opposite side of the player-
In fact, the player is not a good thing in the first place, but represents the adventurer, the greedy and unscrupulous adventurer for the sake of profit.
Elisonde, much more noble than most adventurers.
She is at least a leader with a vision and vision, a leader who thinks about the people.
It's just that IQ and EQ are slightly lower.
Surama is very beautiful.
Aside from Naga, there are only the Children of the Night, who also possess the knowledge and magic of the ancient Night Elf era, as well as everything.
The Sky City could also be built into such a city, perhaps with the help of the Children of the Night.
Of course, you have to meet Alisander.
Jiang Zheng never regarded Elisander as an enemy, so he flew directly to the door of the Night Fortress.
He is then taken in by the Children of the Night and meets Elisunder.
