Chapter 301: High Elves
As a demon lord, Kil'Gardan himself cannot enter Azeroth in its entirety. Because of the guardianship of the Pantheon, he can only enter in the form of a doppelganger, or directly use the body of a believer to carry his will. Just like Gul'dan before it.
But it's not impossible to actually enter Azeroth. After all, the original Sargeras had almost entered. It's just that it takes a lot of energy. There used to be that level of energy in Azeroth. That is the Well of Eternity. The Well of Eternity is the root of Azeroth's arcane. Since the War of Antiquity, the Well of Eternity has been shattered. The energy it emitted was so strong that it split the whole of Azeroth into four continents.
However, in that war, an extremely complex figure emerged, Illidan. Raging winds. Against the Burning Legion, Illidan always believed that the elves could not win. As the leader of the Elven Mage Legion, he finally collapsed in a war that was gradually suppressed. He tried to use some dangerous way to defeat the Burning Legion.
If you want to defeat demons, you must first understand them. And probably the best way to learn about demons is to become a demon. Illidan chose to accept the power of the Demon King. Interestingly, Illidan is an absolute racist. In his bones, he never thought of really taking refuge in the devil. But in the face of Sargeras, he still looked too tender. Even though he tried his best, in the end what he did hurt his race. As such, he is also known as a traitor by the Night Elves. He was even hunted down by his own people.
The war ended eventually, under the alliance of countless races. Eventually, he destroyed the Well of Eternity and succeeded in preventing Sargeras from entering. As a result, the world was split into four pieces, and the history of Warcraft officially began.
But long before the Well of Eternity exploded, Illidan made a special move. He quietly extracted a portion of the holy water from the Well of Eternity and poured it into another lake, making it a new source of magic. The power of magic was preserved for the later Night Elves. This became the Well of the Sun.
The Well of the Sun is nowhere near as powerful as the Well of Eternity. But the power contained in it was enough to bring the full form of a demon lord to descend. Lin Xuan knew that Kil'Gardan must have run out of patience, and the next wave of offensive might be in person. Therefore, taking the lead in controlling the sunwell has become the core of this battle.
Silvermoon City, the capital of Quel'Salas. It is also a gathering place for the High Elves. And with the power of the Well of the Sun, almost every one of them is a natural spellcaster.
At the border of Silver Moon City, Lin Xuan stopped.
"What's wrong, teacher?"
"Close your eyes and feel it carefully." Lin Xuan didn't explain, he just let his students observe carefully.
"This is ......," Hermione said, using her mental power to perceive.
"What a strong guardian enchantment. It covers the entire city and even the forest. ”
"This is supposed to be a defensive barrier they built thousands of years ago to fight the trolls. The former Night Elves' excessive use of magic has attracted the Burning Legion's prying eyes. The current High Elves think they have been taught their lesson. They use enchantments to seal off their cities and then use magic inside. Thought that this would avoid the negative effects of overusing magic. ”
"But this enchantment itself is also a type of magic."
"No, it's not the saddest. The real sad thing is that whether they overuse magic or not, the Burning Legion will come. And when that happens, they hate that their magic is not strong enough. ”
"A race where all the people are spellcasters can rule the world if they are in other worlds."
"The High Elves are not mere spellcasters by nature. They are just users of spells. They don't even need to use their psychic power to gather their mana, as all of their mana comes from the Well of the Sun. This makes it easy for them to cast their spells to breathe. And things that are too simple will always make people lose interest in R&D. So I'm sure the strongest mage out there won't be able to beat Medivan. Even if they are immortals, even if they are born with a magical constitution. But their innovation in magic is just too bad. ”
"So what are we going to do, this barrier is obviously repulsive to humans. Are we going to break through? Hermione said, even with a sense of urgency. Lin Xuan couldn't help but pause, in this world full of endless crises, this little girl not only did not fear, but became belligerent. This made Lin Xuan feel weird.
“...... Not everything has to be solved by fighting. Let's say this time, for example. Lin Xuan said, taking out an official visit document from the Storm Kingdom. It shows that Lin Xuan will have a formal magical exchange with Quel'Salas as a magical advisor to the royal family in the Stormwind Kingdom.
Hermione: "......"
The two of them successfully entered Silvermoon City. The city of the High Elves has a strong natural atmosphere. But if you look closely, you can see that there is already a clear sense of human culture in many buildings. Those buildings, in the flavor of nature, have a certain gorgeous color. After all, the human race is not strong in anything. There is no special talent. But there is one thing that cannot be denied, and that is that the contagion of human culture is probably the strongest of all races. That innate inclusiveness is like a country on earth.
"To be honest, we don't have much communication with the Stormwind Kingdom. But King Lane is a very benevolent monarch who deserves our respect. So, welcome to you. ”
Darth Rema, the leader of Silvermoon City, received them warmly. The High Elves are all seekers of magic. After the War of the Ancients, the Night Elves decided not to use magic anymore. But some of them don't want to lose their magical powers. They tried to unrestrict magic, but failed. It is for this reason that they were exiled by the Night Elves. and became a High Elf.
As the leader of the High Elves, Darth Rema must maintain the usual coldness of the Elven Clan. Absolutely will not take the initiative to show favor to humans. But he also knows that isolated communities can't go far. Therefore, he will have a welcoming attitude towards the human forces that come to establish relationships. Obviously, Lin Xuan and the others were also taken as a signal that the Stormwind Kingdom wanted to establish diplomatic relations with Quel'Salas.
Lin Xuan just thought about it and understood the whole story. But he didn't break it. On the contrary, a real magic exchange meeting came first.
Hermione, as her own disciple, took to the stage to show off her unique magic. Some of the world's unique magics, such as apparition shifting and invoking the gods, have aroused great enthusiasm among the High Elves. After all, of these two kinds of magic, one is a teleportation magic that is extremely practical. The other is the standard light magic. Create a magical guardian beast based on your own heart, the essence of this magic is very much in line with the temperament of the elves.
