Chapter 206: The Sun Falls (Ten Thousand Rewards)
Hearing the Sun King's words, Jiang Zheng was unmoved.
Reunited to the Alliance?
To put it lightly.
In the past, Quel'Salas, whose comprehensive strength far surpassed that of other countries, was naturally qualified to join the alliance and sit on an equal footing with other countries.
But now, Quel'Thalas has been broken by the Scourge, half of Silvermoon City has fallen, the Well of the Sun cannot be saved, and the High Elf Mages have lost most of them......
The comprehensive strength is not even one-third of what it used to be, how can it still be qualified to sit on an equal footing with other countries?
Join the Alliance? Hehe.
In Jiang Zheng's memory, after Quel'Salas was defeated, the High Elves had to commit themselves to the "Marshal Garissus", who was not looked down upon at all, in order to fight against the Scourge Legion, and suffered a lot of grievances.
Later, in order to solve the addiction, he took refuge in Illidan and Kilgardan successively, and has been down.
As for Quel'Salas......
In the end, the only remaining High Elves were renamed "Blood Elves", and the leaders became Lothmar, Hadurun and Romans, who were not on the stage at all, and were forced to join the tribe, and the comprehensive national strength was not ranked among the tribes at all, let alone the orcs, not even the Forsaken, and they were often threatened by various threats, such as Sylvanas, who was resurrected as an undead......
The High Elves have fallen.
"No nation can stand alone against the Scourge Legion. Nicholas, here's what you said, I always remember. The Sun King said: "Although Quel'Salas was defeated, his gathered strength is not weak. Joining the alliance is good for the alliance. You are the heir of Emperor Soladin or the most trusted person of Queen Calia, as long as you are willing to help, Queen Kalia will definitely be willing to push for the return of Quel'Thalas, and the other countries will not disagree. ”
"You've finally recognized my identity? Congratulations. A faint smile appeared on Jiang Zheng's face: "So, what price are you willing to pay in exchange for the support of the alliance?" ”
Jiang Zai is sure to convince Kalia that Lordanlun's current status and strength also have the ability to influence the alliance, but the alliance is not something that can enter and leave if you want to, since you are gone, if you want to come back, you must let blood and cut flesh and give an explanation to other countries.
This is a matter of dignity and vital interests of other countries, and even of the Union as a whole, and cannot be played with.
The leaders of various countries want to save face, but also to have their hearts!
"The Sunstrider's Treasury will be open to Lordaeron and the Alliance!" The Sun King is a great king, and he is clearly well thought out and has an amazing spirit: "Quel'Salas is willing to give half of his wealth to Queen Kalia at his disposal!" ”
Quel'Salas has accumulated nearly 10,000 years, half of which is wealth......
What a great fortune is this?
Jiang Zai had no doubt that such a fortune was enough to buy the entire Dalaran!
That's a lot of courage!
The Sun King is a man who understands and knows that unless he has the support of the Alliance, Quel'Thalas will be alone, and in the battle with the Scourge Legion, he does not know how many people will die, and it may not be long before the High Elf Realm will no longer exist.
Half the wealth is worth it for the survival of the kingdom!
There are many people who understand this, but not many people will make this decision. If it were King Aiden Pirenod of the Alterac Kingdom back then, he might have calculated and said that he would take out a tenth of his wealth, and then bargain......
The Sun King didn't.
This king of the High Elves, who has lived for more than 3,000 years, can bend and stretch, and can give up to get it, which is indeed remarkable.
This wealth would be nodded and agreed to by anyone, but Jiang Zheng still shook his head.
"You don't want to?" The Sun King frowned and was puzzled, thinking that the price he was willing to pay, even if Queen Kalia was there, would definitely agree, and if it was Antonidas or Daerin Prodmore, he would definitely agree!
"Half the wealth, enough to convince Queen Kalia and convince the entire alliance." Jiang Zheng looked at the Sun King's eyes, and the cold and piercing sea water made his face turn equally cold: "So, how much are you prepared to pay to convince me?" ”
…………
There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, and there is no one here.
He was not interested in caring about the Sun King's previous attitude towards him, because he knew very well that in this world, only absolute status, strength, and power were the strong backing of freedom and dignity, and when the status, strength, and power were inferior to the other party, he had to endure rudeness and even ignorance.
But that doesn't mean he won't be in his own interest.
He saved the Sun King, and he will make an indelible contribution to the Sun King, and even to the entire Quel'Thalas, so it is only natural for him to ask for payment.
What's more, now the initiative is in his hands.
Of course, the wise Sun King also knew this.
Obviously, he had thought about it for a long time.
So when Jiang Zai made his request, he didn't think about it at all, but a touch of determination appeared on his face that only a dying person can have: "When the High Elves reforge the Flame Strike, they will also reforge Stamma for you." 2,800 years ago, I enchanted this sword, and 2,800 years later, my son will enchant this sword again. There is no doubt that in this regard, Kael'thas is stronger than me. ”
Kael'thas is certainly stronger than the Sun King, and Jiang Zai never doubted this.
Stomka is a weapon created by humans 2,800 years ago, although it has absorbed a large amount of shadow energy and has been tempered by the blood of Zakhaz, but it is essentially a human weapon, and in terms of forging process, it is far inferior to the flame strike carefully crafted by the High Elves.
If you can go through a process with the High Elves, recast, remove the dross, keep the essence, and add some rare and precious materials, plus the legendary enchantment of Kael'thas, it will definitely be stronger than now.
The Sun King has already given a lot of compensation, and Jiang Zai is very satisfied.
Still, he underestimated the Sun King.
"Frost Grief will consume my soul, but I don't want to be a prisoner of it!" The Sun King looked at Jiang Zheng, and the determination on his face became heavier: "Sdomka has a strong shadow power, now use it to kill me and shatter my soul!" I'd rather be the stumka's nourishment and strengthen its spirituality than a prisoner of frost's sorrows! ”
…………
The Sun King's soul couldn't hold it for long, and Jiang Zheng eventually killed him with his own hands and shattered his soul with shadow energy.
A small half of the soul of the Sun King is countless times more powerful than the complete soul of ordinary people, and the soul of a high-level legendary powerhouse who has ruled the Sunchaser Dynasty for more than three thousand years is naturally very powerful. This part of the soul becomes the nourishment of the Sdomka, giving it a stronger spirituality and also giving it a lot of room to grow.
Originally, Flame Strike was a better choice.
But the Flame Strike was broken, and there was no way to counter the power of Frostmourn to recapture or even destroy the Sun King's soul, so Staymka was the only option.
This is another reward given by the Sun King to Jiang Zheng:
Not only did he strengthen Sdomka's spirituality, but he also injected the only remaining flame energy in his body into Stommka, giving Sdomka the dual ability to control shadows and flames.
The most important thing is that because it contains the remnant soul and residual energy of the Sun King, Kael'thas will definitely be willing to reforge this divine sword for Jiang Zheng, and the forging process and enchantment process of the High Elves will make this sword even stronger.
Ginger took the Sun King's body, put it in his ring, and landed on the west side of Queldanus Island.
Arthas and his Scourge have destroyed the walls and towers from the north, approaching the platform of the Well of the Sun, but there are no undead wreaking havoc elsewhere.
On top of that, to the west, on the heights of the Well of the Sun, there is an entrance.
The platform of the Well of the Sun is sealed off by a wealth of arcane energy and intricate spell runes, making it difficult to enter unless it has absolute power. With Jiang Zai's strength, it is impossible to forcibly break in, and it is not possible to go through the main gate.
However, the flaming blow was in his hand.
This Sunchaser Excalibur is itself a symbol of the successive Sun Kings, and before his death, the Sun King left a spell mark on Jiang Zai's body, so that Jiang Zai was recognized by the Flame Strike in one day, and with the identity of the Excalibur holder, it was enough to travel unhindered throughout the Well of the Sun.
A small number of the High Elves of the entire Queldanus Island are concentrated on the Sunwell platform, and together with Kael'thas and others, they will protect the Sunwell and face the Scourge Legion.
Most of them were gathered in Yangwan Harbor in the north, and the weaker High Elves were ready to escape through the ships reserved there.
Jiang Zheng traveled unhindered all the way, and with the memory in the game, he roughly figured out the structure of the Sun Well Platform, and headed towards the deepest position.
And then......
He was lost.
In order to avoid the occasional High Elf mage, he had to be careful and turn on the game inventory scanning function at all times. Although the Well of the Sun recognized him because of the Flame Strike, the High Elves may not approve of him, and may attack him immediately, believing that he killed the Sun King and stole their artifact.
Jiang Zai did this to reduce trouble.
It took a long time for Jiang Zai to find a way.
This path is very strange, it seems to be a road specially set aside by the High Elves, not only is there no mage warning along the way, even the arcane eye is rare, and it is also strangely motionless and fixed in direction.
But soon, Jiang Zai knew that it was not like that.
Because somewhere, he saw blood!
A bloodstain was nothing, after all, Darkan had slaughtered here. But if there is a blood stain every other distance along the way, and there are still a little blood stains and blood droplets along the way, it is unusual!
Jiang Zai even saw bloody footprints, and the game warehouse also scanned a faint amount of death energy.
This made him understand: I am afraid that there are many mages who have been killed silently, and then resurrected as undead, and then go all the way forward, I don't know where to go!
"Alsace...... Or Kel'thugad, already in action! Could it be that Darkan is still alive? The Sun King didn't kill him? Jiang Zheng frowned.
He knew it wasn't that simple.
In the depths of the Well of the Sun, there is likely to be unimaginable danger hidden, and he can't go on.
So, Jiang Zheng came to the eyes of a certain arcane eye, took out the flame strike, and activated it!
The next moment, he was locked!
