It took two days for Kael'thas to break free from his studies and walk down the arcane path.

"Valella is home?"

He heard the news from Liadrin's mouth while he was eating breakfast.

"Did she say when she would be back?"

Kael'thas then asked.

"Nope."

Liadline stood beside him very honestly, shaking her head a little dimly.

"Huh?"

This made Kael'thas feel very strange, but he waited for something else, so he didn't think about it for the time being.

It's hard to worry about going home.

Kael'thas figured it wouldn't be long before Valera would walk back on her own.

After breakfast, Kael'thas took care of some business, and then attended a discussion session of the Silver Moon Council in the morning.

In the afternoon, he left all the extra work to Solan Lian, and he took Sylvanas and Lotherma to the mage section of the Tower of Wrath.

To be precise, it is also a laboratory for the research of some mages belonging to the Zhuyue family.

"Your Highness."

As soon as Kael'thas arrived, a group of mages studying the glow of light instantly poured out of it, surrounding the three of them.

"Wait."

Kael'thas frowned at the enthusiasm of these mages, then stopped them, turned to Sylvanas and said:

"Wait outside."

He commanded, and only then was he surrounded by the mages into the spacious laboratory.

The door is closed.

"So, what about the results?"

Kael'thas asked the mages if the greater reason he had left the Arcane today was because of the invitation of the old mages.

And the reason for their invitation was the Hellfire - the results of the Hellfire research that had been going on for several years.

After Kael'thas learned to summon Hellfire, the research was submitted, and after years of research, the results should now be available.

Kael'thas had some anticipation.

"Your Highness"

The old mages laughed slightly awkwardly:

"Our research failed."

Their words mercilessly shattered Kael'thas hope.

"And what did you put me here for?"

Kael'thas exhaled and asked.

Of course, he didn't think that these mages invited him over just to tell him about his failure, these mages were arrogant, and if they failed completely, they would never have allowed Kael'thas to come and tell him in person.

A failure report will do the trick.

"Your Highness, although we failed, we made a magic circle."

An old mage holding a blue staff, apparently the leader, explained with a smile.

He led Kael'thas forward and came to a dim circle.

It was a complex circular circle with a radius of five meters carved into the ground, and countless magic crystals were embedded in its patterns.

"That's it?"

Kael'thas didn't see anything special.

"Wait, it's not activated yet."

The old mage said, turning around and telling the mages to get ready.

More than a dozen mages scattered around the circle and began to chant incantations.

With the sound of a slender incantation, the crystals on the circle began to shine.

"Wow"

Suddenly, there was a soft sound, and the circle erupted with a strong golden light, and the flames burned on its pattern.

The entire laboratory instantly turned golden.

"This—This is"

Kael'thas felt his pulse beat inside him, and the golden flame felt so familiar to him that he couldn't help but want to touch it.

No one stopped him from acting.

Kael'thas placed his hand on the flames, which wrapped around his hand, but only made him feel warmth.

No stinging, no scorching burning

"It's not a flame."

The old mage stood beside Kael'thas and explained with a smile:

"It's just the embodiment of arcane."

In a way, the old mage's words were not wrong, but he was still hiding something.

The shadows of the elves swayed on the wall

"What does it do?"

Kael'thas asked, coming back to his senses.

"Transform form."

The old mage immediately replied:

"It can transform the evil flames of any demon, of course, this only works for those demons with flames on them."

"As long as the demon is brought into this circle, it will become another creature, and it can make a contract with our High Elves."

In fact, the only one who can control the demon with golden flames is the High Elves.

The magic constitution formed by the High Elves over thousands of years shows its power this time.

"Isn't that a success?"

Kael'thas was pleasantly surprised.

This obviously means that the research is going well, but why do these mages say they have failed?

"Your Highness, this is a success, but more importantly, we have not succeeded."

The old mage sighed, then explained:

"We can't summon demons."

Demons need the energy of the Shadow to summon them, something that the elves may be able to grasp through research.

But in addition to this energy, there is a more basic thing - the decoy.

Demons are greedy, and to summon them, you need something other than a mage - a soul fragment.

The Soul Fragment can be said to be the soul crystallization of a life, and its manufacturing method can only be mastered by warlocks who come into contact with demons.

In other words, when each person was inaugurated as a warlock, he had already been sold to demons, and he could get from them the ability to extract souls and make shards.

The High Elves hate the act of killing lives, and even more so the act of playing with souls, and it is impossible for them to transform into warlocks.

For these reasons, they were destined to be unable to summon demons.

“”

Kael'thas felt a little annoyed.

The mages have come up with something amazing, and it's clear that if used well, this circle is enough to provide Quel'Thalas with a lot of power.

The Golden Demon Legion has always been huge, and its value is definitely only higher than melee value, not lower.

Because demons are summons, even if they die, they won't cause much casualties to the High Elves.

Kael'thas knew at a glance that he couldn't let go of the idea of building such an army.

It can be said that as long as there is this team, then he does not have to worry too much about any threat.

If most of the elves of Quel'Thalas could have a contract demon, then even a scourge would be a joke in front of the kingdom.

"This circle can be mass-produced, right?"

Kael'thas asked again, making a final decision.

"It's a relative hassle, but it's okay to build one in every town."

The old mage replied.

Kael'tham's eyes lit up.

"Okay, I'll figure out how to solve the problem of calling."

He said:

"You first determine the stable surname of this magic circle, and wait for me to catch a few demons and come back to test."

Kael'thas already got a clue.

He decided to get a few orc warlocks from the Alliance's shelter to study.

You can first use the orc warlock to summon a few demons to test the effect of the circle.

Then start with the Warlock and see if there is a way to summon demons without soul shards.

Kael'thas wanted to build a large team, and it was clear that he couldn't let the same number of lives die.

He doesn't have such a cold heart yet

"Then Your Highness, do you need to promote this magic circle?"

The old mage asked again.

"There's no hurry."

Kael'thas shook his head:

"I'll wait until the test is successful."

It would be ridiculous if the circle failed.

He didn't want that to happen.

Kael'thas then left the lab and returned to his office with Sylvanas and the others.

Solan Liane was working on the papers inside, and Kael'thas summoned her a few times and sat down on the throne.

His desk was quickly filled with some papers from Solan Lian.

These documents are all things that come up with a plan, but need to be confirmed by Kael'thas.

Kael'thas didn't look at it for a moment, but thought about it carefully.

He's thinking about how to get the Alliance to give Quel'Thalas some warlocks.

But he immediately realized that it was a stupid thing: the High Elves wanted warlocks, why should humans know?

This obviously won't do any good.

[I can only send someone to grab some quietly.] 】

Kael'thas thought to himself, anyway, there are still some evasive orcs scattered in the world, even if some are taken away from the shelter, it will definitely not arouse the suspicion of humans about elves.

The premise, of course, is that the soul winners must be strong and stealthy enough.

Kael'thas looked at Sylvanas and the others.

"Sylvanas, Lotherma, you do something for me."

These are the two most suitable candidates.

Aurelia is still staying home with her family, and Kael'thas doesn't want to disturb her.

As a result, the two most powerful men that Kael'thas can use now are Sylvanas and Lotherma.

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Please, Your Highness."

Sylvanas and Lotherma answered.

Kael'thas gave them the answer, and of course, he sent someone to pick them up.

The two Legendary Ranger only need to take the orcs out of the shelter, and then the others will take care of bringing them back, and it won't take long.

【Up to three days.】 】

Sylvanas thought so, and she didn't regret accepting the task.

That night, the two rangers and a group of elves left Quel'Salas by boat.

After seeing them off, Kael'thas returned to Quel'Thalas at night.

He sat in the carriage and worked on papers, then lifted the curtain and looked at the stars when he was tired.

The starry sky of Quel'Salas was dazzling, and of course, even though the Arcane Way was above the Forest of Eternal Song, Kael'thas still didn't notice its existence.

"That hidden magic is so strong."

He sighed with emotion, and was about to lower the curtain, but he was suddenly stunned.

A flash of lightning flashed as Kael'thas remembered the time when the elven mages were building the Arcane Way, and suddenly a new thought came to him.

Isn't the sky just a natural but powerful defense?
