641. Greetings from the Windrangers
The first place she set foot was on a small island called Assuna.
The terrain of Asuna is relatively gentle, and it is a land with a very pleasant climate. However, it is now occupied by Naga and sea giants, but there are other inhabitants of the island, the elves who died in the explosion 10,000 years ago.
But they are cursed, cursed by the power of the Tide Stone that Azhara destroyed, and can only survive in the form of ghosts for 10,000 years.
However, even if they have been dead for 10,000 years, they are elves after all, and these elves learn the power of arcane, and they were all high-level elves back then.
Since it's an upper-class elf, it's easy to do.
Entering the river from the mouth of the sea at the junction of Sulama and Assuna, Sylvanas completely covered her fleet with covert magic, not wanting to be discovered by the elves of Asuna so early.
The fleet then silently entered the river of Arsuna, killing a large number of Naga along the way, and they made their way to a ruin. The one that only exists in the history books of the Blood Elves, which I thought would never be seen again, is the Academy of Nazaras.
It was once the center of magical research for all of Azeroth, second only to Queen Azhara's palace in the magical academic world, and even higher than Azhara's palace in terms of research ability. Prince Farodis built his palace here because it was a true center for the study of magic.
Today, however, it is in ruins.
Countless naga filled the land, constantly attacking the Academy. And the spirit of the elve, has been resisting non-stop.
Because they are already souls, the elves will not die, at least Naga can't kill them, so although the war between the two sides has been going on for many years, Naga has not won, or rather, the two sides have been in a stalemate.
The arrival of Sylvanas upset the balance between the two sides. The army from the Alliance, with skillful coordination and a strong battle formation, quickly defeated the Naga. The remaining Naga fled back into the sea, while Sylvanas, walking on Naga's corpse, came to the elven ghost.
"Good day, my companion, may the light of the sun shine on you forever."
Sylvanas spoke slowly with the most standard upper-class elf etiquette.
The ghosts on the other side were stunned, and although they were ghosts, they were not without any thoughts. They can still think, and they know what their situation is at this time, and because of this, they will curse Prince Pharodis forever. However, when Sylvanas stood in front of them, there was already a lot of perception on the outside. But the vaguely familiar feeling, as well as the breath of the living beings on the other party, still made them widen their eyes one by one and walked out of the crowd in disbelief.
"You, you're ......"
"Greetings from the descendants of the Windranger family."
Sylvanas smiled gracefully.
"Windranger?"
"Yes, it's the Ranger family that has always been close to the Sunstrider!"
"Yes, is it the most important Ranger Captain that Queen Ishshara has ever had?"
"That's right, it's them, I didn't expect that she was actually a descendant of Windranger!"
"They're still alive...... Elves, still alive......"
Many of the ghosts bowed their heads and wept softly, and although they were no longer able to shed tears, that did not mean that they were not sad.
And the elf who came out, when he heard the word "Windranger", also shook his body slightly, and seemed to have signs of unsteadyness, but he quickly regained his footing.
Then return the salute with the same standard of elven etiquette, "Welcome, Windranger, welcome to the Arcane Eye." ”
At the end of the War of the Ancients, the war reached its most tragic stage, and the Elven Empire at that time was dying every day, and the once great families were destroyed one after another, and even the heirs could not be left, so they all died on the battlefield.
The Arcane Eye was once a very powerful magic family in the Elven Empire, and they had the ability to directly observe the trajectory of magic with their eyes, which was due to the power obtained from observing the magic form for many years and the eyes being soaked in magic. According to the history books, when the Arcane Eye was at its most glorious, he served as the royal mage of Aishara's court, and could enter and leave Aishara's palace at will.
However, the good times did not last long, with the arrival of the demons, this family was sent by Aishara to observe the spells of the night elves, and the arcane eye was also a family that was not blinded by Aishara, so they did not follow Aishara's orders, but helped the coalition forces to constantly see through the demon's disguise and magic array, and to a large extent, helped the coalition to tear apart the demon's battle line.
As a result, the demons suffered more casualties as a result, but the Arcane Eye also became one of the demons' key targets.
The arcane eye, which focuses on research and has no actual combat ability, was immediately killed and injured by demons, and the last member of this family is said to have fled to Assuna, but in the end, no one knows where he went, but unexpectedly, he met him here.
"The prestige of the Arcane Eye lives on forever, and your exploits will be engraved on the most important heroic monument in Silvermoon City."
Sylvanas said in a deep voice.
"Silvermoon City?"
"What's that?"
"A new city for elves?"
"Do we have any other cities?"
"Great, the Elven Empire will never perish!"
"Windranger, we welcome you!"
The other apparitions were discussing and cheering, and were clearly very welcoming to Sylvanas.
"Windranger, are you here to take us home? I'm sorry, but we may not be able to continue fighting now, so we may be going to disappoint you. ”
The Arcane Eye looked at Sylvanas and said with some sadness.
And his words also made the other elven ghosts show sad expressions.
Sylvanas smiled when she heard this, "All elves are family, and we welcome all family members home, so rest assured, we will not force you to fight, and you will always be welcome." ”
"Really?"
"Great!"
"I can go home, I can finally go home!"
The ghosts wept with joy, and the Arcane Eye's faces showed emotion.
"It's been 10,000 years, since ...... After being betrayed by that man, this is probably the happiest news for us. Windranger, please come with me, even if you go home, you are not in a hurry, please rest your soldiers first, and there are still many precious books and materials to take with you in Nazaras Academy, this is a very difficult task, so please don't rush. ”
"Don't worry, I'm not in a hurry. Senior, tell everyone to bury the pot and cook, set up camp, and prepare to rest. ”
"Yes!"
Seniore Chenfeng is a member of the Chenfeng family, and he can be regarded as a rather prominent family in Silvermoon City. But that was the past, not now, and now Chenfeng has only one descendant left, and the rest of the family members have all died in the previous wars.
But now that he's one of Sylvanas' squires, as long as he survives, the Chenfeng clan may not be able to rise again.
Receiving Sylvanas's orders, Chenfeng immediately went down to make arrangements, while Sylvanas led a team of guards of spellbreakers and rangers and followed the ghosts deeper into the ruins.
There are ruins everywhere, and from the dilapidated buildings, you can still vaguely see the architectural style of the upper elves of the past.
It was a different style from the current High Elves and Night Elves, more elegant, more luxurious, but these things have been lost in the past ten thousand years, and all that can be left is these dilapidated stones, and these lifeless ghosts.
The Arcane Eye has been telling Sylvanas about the ruins, and reminiscing about the time.
"Ever since that traitor to Farodis betrayed us, we have never been able to get back to the way we were. Then the explosion happened, and all of us were killed by the force of the explosion, and only a few survived, but because of this, they did not survive the serious injuries on their bodies, and all of them turned into evil spirits full of resentment. And we, because of the power of the curse, survived the Big Bang. The power of the Big Bang has allowed us to survive in ghost form without losing our way, and we don't know whether to thank that traitor or hate him outright. ”
The Arcane Eye said in a deep voice.
Sylvanas didn't answer, she really didn't have much say in the feud between these ghosts.
And she knows very well, what if she is of the same race? She and her sister are now deeply conflicted, and she also feels deep sadness that her sister actually defected to the alliance. So she couldn't make any comment on the issue, so she could only remain silent.
Following the ghosts, they walked all the way into the deepest part of Nazaras Academy, and many ghosts could be seen along the way, adding up to tens of thousands of people. The ghosts were shocked when they saw Sylvanas and them, and froze in place one by one, without moving for a long time, like stone sculptures.
Sylvanas smiled and nodded at all the ghosts, and finally, she met the dean of Nazaras College, Tirion.
"You ......"
"Greetings to the Windranger, honorable Dean Tirion."
Sylvanas saluted again.
"Windranger...... You're the ...... of Grilos."
"Fifth generation."
Sylvanas said.
"Already, the fifth generation?"
Tyrion's eyes widened in disbelief.
"That's right, since the explosion of the Well of Eternity, we have lost our eternal life, and five generations have passed since the Windranger family era was inherited, starting with the ancestors of Grilos and coming to me."
Sylvanas said with a smile.
"I see, it seems that you are not much better than us, you have lost eternal life......"
"That's right, all the elves can't get eternal life now."
"Wait, all the elves, you mean, besides you, there are other elves alive?"
Tyrion deserves to be the dean, and instantly grasps the essence of the problem.
"That's right, as you can see, I'm a descendant of Windrunner, and now I run Silvermoon City, and I'm the leader of all the Blood Elves. Of course, you may not know the relationship, but I can tell you about it. ”
Immediately afterwards, Sylvanas told the elf in front of her how the upper elves were imprisoned and expelled by the Night Elves after the end of the Ancient War, how Quel'Salas was founded under the leadership of Darth Rema, and how to establish Silvermoon City.
Including orc wars, including undead invasions, including fighting demons, including alliances and tribes and the establishment of alliances, and more.
All these things he said were beyond the cognition of all the elves present, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time after listening to them.
Tyrion was the first to wake up, and when he sobered up, he shook his head gently.
"I didn't expect that the Night Elves would actually expel their own people, what difference did they do with Azhara. The essence of arcane is only power, and after all, it is only everyone who does bad things, what does it have to do with arcane. Darth Rema, when he was still very young, showed extraordinary qualities, but he didn't expect him to eventually become the king of the upper elves.
Tyrande, Malfurion, Illidan...... It's all familiar names, these little guys, and now they've grown up.
By the way, you call yourself a blood elf, why is that? ”
"Because of hatred!"
Sylvanas said without hesitation, "After being banished by the Night Elves, we began to call ourselves High Elves, but with the invasion of the undead, too many of our clansmen were killed, and we suffered great losses, and finally Prince Kael'thas announced that we would call ourselves Blood Elves from now on...... Although he is now a prisoner, we still like the name he gave us. So from today on, there are no upper elves in the world, and there are no higher elves, and we are only blood elves. ”
"Hate?" Tirion closed his eyes, "A fitting name, the blood of the elves, must be repaid with the same blood, this prince of Kael'thas would be a worthy ruler if he had not gone down the wrong path." Then the alliances and tribes you are talking about and the alliances ......"
"There are now the three camps above Azeroth. The alliance includes the human kingdom of Stormwind, the dwarven kingdom of Ironforge, the gnomes, and the Night Elves. The leader of the tribe is the orc Thrall, who also has the Darkspear, the Minotaur, and the Boar Man under his command. Today's blood elves have joined the alliance led by the human kingdom Gilneth, in addition to Silvermoon City, there are also Kul Tiras, one of the human kingdoms, panda people of Pandaria, dwarves of Brute Hammer Mountain, and green-skinned goblins. The idea of our alliance is to end the strife in this world, if there is only the alliance and the tribe, the battle between them will be endless, the alliance is willing to be a third party, balance the power of the alliance and the tribe, and keep the world as far away from war as possible.
So, we need more allies. Join us, Tyrion, welcome to Silvermoon City, welcome to the Alliance, and be my aid for the peace of Azeroth and for the common defense against a more powerful enemy. ”
Sylvanas finished speaking, as if Tyrion had reached out his hand. She could see that no matter how many elven ghosts existed in the land of Asuna, here at Nazaras Academy, Tyrion was absolutely able to have the final say, as long as he could join him, she would be able to have this group of knowledgeable and research-ready ghost scholars, which would be a great help to the Alliance and Silvermoon City.
