Chapter 9: Above the Stars, the Arcane Way (Part II)

(PS: This chapter will be different from the game in many ways, please refer to the setting of this book.) )

When it comes to the origin of magic, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is the Well of Eternity.

In ancient times, the Well of Eternity was the source of magic and natural energy for the entire world, and while drawing energy from the boundless darkness outside this world, the Well of Eternity continuously released its energy to the entire world, providing nourishment for all kinds of creatures in the world, and creating a race that used magic - Cadore (Children of the Stars), the predecessor of the Night Elves and High Elves, and the magic provided by the Well of Eternity is called Arcane.

After the disappearance of the Well of Eternity, a huge amount of energy covered all the races of the entire world. As a result, almost every race has the ability to cast magic, and magic has developed unprecedentedly.

Later, many people classified spells into fire, frost, arcane, natural, shadow, sacred, or other different divisions, but only the High Elf arcane mages never acknowledged this statement, they believed that there was only one type of magic in nature, and that was arcane.

Other fires, frosts, and all sorts of other things are just different manifestations of arcane spells. Arcane can absorb elements, manifest the appearance of elemental spells, and can also enter the body of all things, transform into natural energy, and so on......

It is the root of all magic.

And this arcane path that Kael'thas walked through seems to be to tell the High Elves this, the way of inheritance built by countless arcane mages. Kael'thas understood this, and he had always wondered why the arcane spells were so varied and mysterious, while the others were so thin. If arcane is the origin, and everything else is explained differently, then it all makes sense.

So when asked by the system for his choice, Kael'thas chose the profession of High Arcane Mage. This does not conflict with the fire mage, Kael'thas has already seen it, as long as his arcane ability is manifested as a fire spell, then, the enhancement effect brought by the Lord of Flame will not be wasted in the slightest!

"Of course, Your Highness ......"

In the roundabout hallway, Mephites heard Kael'thas and affirmed it without hesitation. While secretly impressed by Kael'thas's talent, Mephitaus suddenly felt Kael'thas breath change.

Yes... There is no more arcane energy to squeeze Kael'thas like he has melted into the arcane breath......

"Arcane Mage!!"

Mephites was stunned, he expected Kael'thas to become an arcane mage, but he didn't expect that he would be recognized and promoted before he reached the end of the arcane path.

This is unprecedented!

The Arcane Way will be awarded to the High Elves when they have completed their journey, and will eventually grant the gifted person the status of Arcane Mage. This is not a mage who uses arcane arts, a real arcane mage of the High Elves, each of them is a person who has been recognized by arcane energy, and has an advantage in using arcane arts that no one else can match!

And Kael'thas, he was recognized in advance before he finished the arcane path, so after he finished walking...... What kind of scenario would it be?

Mephites' eyes shone brightly, and she was suddenly full of anticipation for Kael'thas!!

He urged Kael'thas to go, and on the way he told Kael'thas about the Arcane.

In ancient times, the misuse of arcane magic by the upper elves led by Queen Azhara led led to disaster struck.

Eventually, the Night Elves split into two different tribes, one of which is now the Night Elves, who believed that Arcane was a natural source of chaos and forbade research, and instead studied the natural energies, allowing the Druids to grow. The second is the High Elves evolved from the expelled upper elves, who still recognize the sacred surname of the arcane and continue their research. However, compared to the previous ones, this time they have built a huge magical enchantment to shroud the kingdom and prevent the prying eyes of foreign enemies.

"Natural energy is also arcane energy?"

"It must be, but what mechanism causes the outward manifestation of natural magic, and for that, it might be better to ask the druids of the Night Elves......" Mephites showed a mocking face, and continued, "Of course I don't think they want to admit that it's ......"

"Yes......"

Kael'thas sighed, the hatred between the High Elves and the Night Elves was really great, he thought about it, and was a little confused:

"If it's still arcane energy, why would they ban arcane research?"

"Your Highness, they are not wrong about that, because Arcane is harmful...... "Mephites smiled bitterly and explained to Kael'thas "Or rather, the misuse of Arcane is harmful, and its great attraction will corrode the human body and corrupt the spirit. In any case, the Night Elves are originally a race that uses arcane arts, and if its use is allowed, it is impossible not to abuse it. So they forbade it. ”

"As for natural energy, although it is still arcane energy in nature, it is like dilution and transformation, and there is no negative effect. The same is true of other outward manifestations..."

"What about us?" Kael'thas frowned, "Why are we still using arcane?" And it's everywhere you use ......"

Every corner of Quel'Salas has traces of arcane art, and this is how the High Elves revered it.

……

Mephites was silent.

After a long while, he slowly spoke: "Your Highness, when you have been eating the cake, you were suddenly asked to nibble on bread, are you willing?" ”

Kael'thas shook his head.

"That's it, we were formerly the upper nobles of the Night Elves. Arcane has always been used and studied, and it has long since become our culture, and even eroded into our bodies...... Asking us to suddenly learn a lower spell, our ancestors naturally refused. Arcane is the source of all magic, and to abandon it is not to abandon it? ”

"But it might destroy us!?" Kael'thas still didn't understand the choice of the High Elves back then, he knew that in the future, after the disappearance of the Well of the Sun, the entire High Elf race was almost wiped out in demon addiction.

"It won't ruin us, Your Highness...... Look...," Mephites held out his hand and pointed to the sky, and Kael'thas followed it, a huge and beautiful shield that surrounded the whole of Quel'Thalas.

This shield is different from what I heard in my previous life, although it cannot resist aggression, but inside the shield, the High Elves can freely use magic and get bonuses. At the same time, all enemies who enter the shield will also be weakened to a certain extent.

Only then did Kael'thas notice that the place where the Arcane Way was located was above the Eternal Song Forest. But he hadn't seen it before, and it was probably the magic that was hidden.

"This is the greatest magic of our High Elves, and as long as it is there, we High Elves are free to use their magic to protect our homes and the Well of the Sun. And the existence of the Well of the Sun will allow us High Elves to continue to study the arcane and use magic freely......"

"And, soon... Your Highness... In a thousand years, we will find a way to fight the arcane erosion, and then, we High Elves will become a unique and great magical race! ”

Mephites smiled confidently, his blue eyes full of longing, as if he had seen the future: "The ancestors have always believed that the High Elves are a great race, that they will not lose to the erosion of the arcane, and that they can one day become its master. So, we never gave up ......"

Hearing this, Kael'thas was silent, and waves set off in his heart, Mephites' words reminded him of what he knew about the blood elves in his previous life.

This is indeed an arrogant and miserable race, who think they can control the arcane, is that the truth?

Did the High Elves really come close to making it? Without Darkan's betrayal and the opening of the shield, would the High Elves really be able to take a completely different path?

Kael'thas felt a fire in his heart slowly ignite silently, he had always been very aggrieved by the blood elves in his previous life, and countless people cursed this race. But has this race ever been happier than any other? When the Scourge destroyed Quel'Thalas, ninety percent of the elves died, not to mention the number of deaths caused by the subsequent division and addiction. The High Elves changed their name to the Blood Elves, and how much damage did they suffer in the middle, from the Children of the Sun to the Children of Blood? And all it does is just want to live in its own kingdom in peace and quiet, just to study magic.

Why did the heavens treat it like that?

Is it because of its arrogance? But what about the arrogant race? Which race is perfect?

Since Kael'thas is a member of it in this life, he will definitely try to change the fate of this race...... Certain......

but also his own......

Kael'thas made up his mind, then looked up.

He took the last step......

……

No way!!

Is it so good that experience locks in benefits?!

Arcan's Ball!! Is that the name of that thing!? How do I remember that thing wasn't a piece of equipment!?

Kael'thas was startled and quickly activated, and he waited in horror, afraid that it was not the thing he thought.

Then, a blue orb that burned like a flame floated above Kael'thas's head.

Handsome... Quite handsome!!

Sure enough, it's one of the three three-ball balls in the original Kael'thas with a B artifact, but the color is a little different!?

"O... Arcan's Ball!! ”

Mephitaths behind Kael'thas had his jaw dropping. His mouth was wide open, and he felt a little dizzy.

[Your Highness, you are definitely the most wicked person ever! 】

Mephites suppressed his heartbeat and thought like this......
