645, Dragon Sleep
As Tyrion said, he went to Sulama for help, but was rebuffed.
The other party didn't mean to talk to him at all, as long as he dared to get close to Sulama's enchantment, he would be hit mercilessly by the other party. Spectres are immune to physical attacks, but are much less resistant to magical strikes than normal mobs. However, Surama was the second largest city in the Elven Empire after Xin Aisaline, and there were countless magic masters in it, so it was not too easy to deal with these ghosts.
Even if the ghosts could use magic, what good was it? The two sides are hard-hitting, they are not each other's opponents, once the magic shield is broken by the other party, what awaits them may be an instant death, and the elves on the opposite side, as living beings, will not die easily unless they are really subjected to too powerful magic.
In ancient times, the city of Surama was an important city and the core of civilization and religion of the Night Elves, and heroes such as Tyrande, Malfurion, Illidan, Garrod, Mavi, and Ravenketh were all from the city, and the city was also an important fortress for civilians against the capital of the upper elves in the Battle of the Ancients, and finally sank to the bottom of the sea with Asaline. However, a portion of the city has survived the magical shields of the previous generations of the Night Children, who are now the masters of the city.
Unlike the Night Elves and the Upper Elves, they call themselves the Children of the Night and are the third type of Elves.
Of course, in essence, they are no different from the upper elves, that is, the blood elves today, everyone studies arcane and relies on magic. But over the course of 10,000 years, the Children of the Night shielded Sulama from the demons with a magical shield. They couldn't see the sunlight or the moonlight, and the magic made them change, no longer the handsome appearance of the elves, but into emaciated and withered "monsters".
This is also the reason why Sylvanas used a magic shield to completely hide his fleet when she approached Sulama, and before she set off, Duten had already informed her of some information about Sulama, and made it clear that the elves in Sulama might not welcome their arrival. If you don't want an indifferent war to break out, avoiding it is the best option.
Originally, Sylvanas thought that the elves here just didn't welcome outsiders, but they didn't expect that they didn't even want to accept these ghosts who had been living next door, and the degree of closure of the Children of the Night was beyond Sylvanas's expectations.
If that's the case, the Children of the Night are dangerous, because they hide behind a magical shield that no one can see, and no one knows what they're doing, let alone what they're thinking. What was the situation 10,000 years ago is long lost to the world. So was there a demon entering the city at that time? If so, were these demons really killed? If not, why would they lock themselves in forever? Protect yourself? Please, even if the Elven Empire has been destroyed, it doesn't mean that the Burning Legion is invincible.
Wasn't it repulsed back then? It can only be said that the sudden Burning Legion is indeed terrifying, but it is not so powerful that the elves are so complacent.
But if there really is a demon in this city...... First of all, let's not consider the possibility of why these elves will turn to the demons, and say that if there really is, if the elves really take refuge in the demons. So if there is such a huge amount of magical energy in this city, and there is also a powerful source of magical power, why don't these demons summon the Burning Legion to descend? Why would they use other means to open the portal?
Judging from here, there are no demons in Sulamar City, at least not now, otherwise the Burning Legion would have relied on this place to enter Azeroth in a steady stream, and they could still wait? However, the truth is that no demons have emerged from here, so the elves here have not yet taken root with demons. However, since they didn't take refuge in the demons, it's strange why they locked themselves up.
Although the Blood Elves have also used a magic shroud to cover Quel'Thalas, the Blood Elves still have a relationship with the outside world, and they create a magical barrier just to cover the fluctuations of the arcane.
If the elves of Surama thought the same way, then they wouldn't have to lock themselves down completely.
In short, there are too many unknowns, and Sylvanas has the heart to investigate, but thinking of the task given to her by Duten, in the end, this idea is still left behind her. Without a doubt, the most important thing now is to collect all the Pillars of Creation.
The shield of Agrama is not a big problem, after all, in Odin's hands, no one should be able to disturb the life of this big brother for the time being.
The Tide Stone has been acquired, and protected by layers of magic, and has been sent to Du Teng through remote teleportation magic, with Du Teng, no one in the world can threaten the safety of the Tide Stone.
The most troublesome of them are the Tears of Elune and the Hammer of Kazgros, the former of which is now protected in the Emerald Dream and the latter, which is currently stored in the treasury of Nesario.
As we all know, the Emerald Dream is the chassis of the druids, and in other words, this is equivalent to the chassis of the Night Elves. Although with the personality of Ysera, the Queen of the Green Dragon, she probably wouldn't exclude all other races because of her proximity to the Night Elves, it would be a fool's dream to expect to be able to get the Tears of Elune under the protection of Ysera, the Green Dragon Legion, and countless druids.
So if you want to get Elune's Tears, you have to find a way. Or can you try it at the Temple of the Moon? In the original book, Elune's Tears first appeared in the Moon Temple, but at that time, several versions had already passed, and how could Elune's Tears appear there is now how it is possible to know. Even if Elune's Tears are now stored in the Emerald Dream, that is just Du Teng's speculation.
So Sylvanas still had to go to Valsara, and she had to go and see for herself anyway, and it would be best if she could find Elune's Tears, and if she couldn't find it, she would be able to rest as soon as possible. As for the hammer of Kazgros, if nothing else, it should still be in the treasure house of Nesario, and the Golem is invading the treasure house, once they really rush into it and let them capture this sledgehammer, it will not be so easy to get it back.
At the end of the day, it's still time rush!
Sylvanas sighed, there was no way, she could only pass the news to Duten first, and then lead her men to divide into three ways. One of them set sail with a ghost elf on the way back. They will first return to Kultiras, then land in Gilneth to be picked up by Lothima, and finally return to Quel'Thalas.
The other team is trying to get close to Surama and investigate what is going on with the elves of Surama.
Sylvanas herself led her team toward Valsara, and she was to first look for Elune's Tears, whether she could find it or not, and then turn around and head towards the High Ridge.
After going to the High Ridge, and finally to Stormfjord, and set up a stable camp there to wait for Duten to arrive.
So now, where has Duten gone?
He finally met the Duke of Ravenhold at Ravenhold Manor and explained his intentions.
And Duke Ravenhold, who really deserves to be a man who can live in such a world for so long, agreed to Duten's request without thinking about it, and is willing to join the Gilneth Intelligence Army, and is currently tentatively appointed as deputy director. The director's words are still led by Du Teng himself for the time being. If Duke Ravenhold could prove his loyalty, Duten would not have been able to give him the position. But for now...... It's not very likely.
With the addition of Ravenhold Manor, the strength of the Gilneth Intelligence Service has increased dramatically. Duten finally saw the full strength of Ravenhold Manor, and a list of all the thieves who had joined Ravenhold Manor was placed on his desk that only Duke Ravenhold himself could see.
There are 313 people in total, of which 100 are based in Ravenhold Manor, and the remaining 200 are hidden around the world under various guises. As long as you have this list in hand and the token of Duke Ravenhold, you can easily find any of the thieves on it and let them do their own thing.
Although this list is up-to-date, it was last updated two years ago, and no one knows if anyone has died in the events of the past two years. Only next year, the third year, when it is renewed, will it be clear that the above personnel changes will be clear.
But it doesn't matter, Du Teng doesn't need them to do anything alone, what he needs is all these thieves, one or two he doesn't care.
And Garona also successfully became Vanessa's teacher.
Vanessa's talent for thieves is wonderful, and her future with Garona will definitely exceed everyone's imagination. And Lanny, because of her talent for holy light, Du Teng specially asked Lady Liadrin, and the other party gladly accepted this apprentice. Although they are human, the humans of Gilneth are different from the humans of Stormwind.
After doing all this, Du Teng seemed to have nothing to do, he thought about it, and finally found something for himself to do.
"Let's go to the Temple of Dragon's Sleep."
He thought so.
The main purpose of going to the Temple of Dragon's Sleep is to find Alexstrasza, and the fundamental purpose of looking for Alexstrasza is because of Sylvanas's news.
Elune's Tears...... If you want to find this green dragon queen, Du Teng alone may be completely helpless, although he is powerful, he is not arrogant enough to think that he can break the barrier between the real world and the dream world. So he needs the help of the Red Dragon Queen, and the eldest sister of the Dragon King around him, if he wants to find his little sister, of course there is no problem.
And the Temple of Dragon's Sleep, the temple of all dragons, is located on the Dragonbone Wasteland of Northrend, the Arctic continent.
Through the teleportation spell, Du Teng appeared here in an instant.
However, as soon as he appeared, a powerful magic force locked him, and Du Teng could feel his body subconsciously tense. But immediately after, he controlled his body and relaxed instantly.
"Relax, I'm not here to fight."
Du Teng smiled and said to the dragons around him.
He looked around, except for the bronze dragon and the black dragon, there were all kinds of dragons, of course, the red dragon was the most. And here, it is also the base camp of the Red Dragon Legion.
"I'm here to find the guardian dragon, guys, can you pass it on to me?"
Du Teng is invincible in the human world, and with his current reputation, if he does not interfere with specific interests, there will hardly be anyone in the human world who will refuse some of his small requests.
But alas, just as humans can't tell the difference between dragons when they look at them, so dragons look at humans.
He asks the dragons for help, but according to the dragons, they don't know who he is.
A guy who looked like one of the biggest dragons in the room slowly landed in front of Du Teng, his huge head leaning over and breathing hot breath.
"Mortal, the Queen is not something you can see, hurry away, the dragon can forgive you for your offense."
"I said, if you want to talk, you can stay away from me. To be honest, you have bad breath, and I don't want to talk to you so closely. ”
Du Teng said with a frown.
Although the dragon is very strong, its strength is actually average. The so-called strong, it depends on who it is for. If it's for ordinary people, it's no problem for an adult dragon to casually sweep away a small army, but what if it's a strong one? Figures such as Khadgar, Sal, and Malfurion, not to mention ordinary adult dragons, even some old dragons of some age, may not be their opponents.
It has to be at the level of the guardian dragon, or slightly worse, such as the heir of the guardian dragon, and the spouse, etc., about the same level as Khadgar.
So, what if it's someone even stronger than Khadgar and them?
If, is it someone much stronger than Khadgar?
Du Teng looked at the dragon who was close to him, and when he heard his words, his fists clenched unconsciously.
"Mortal! How dare you be so rude to a dragon! ”
As if feeling insulted, the dragon who took the initiative to talk to Du Teng roared angrily, opened its mouth wide, and spewed out a little spark from its mouth.
These sparks fall on Duten, although they can't burn him, but how to say it? Human spitting and red dragons spitting Mars are exactly the same thing. Although the other party may not have intended to smack him, there is nothing to justify this behavior.
Du Teng's face instantly turned cold.
"You don't have to talk nonsense with me, help me get the word out, I want to see Alexstrasza, she will naturally come out when she hears my name. Otherwise, well, you're just a big lizard, and you're a little bit of a reptile compared to your queen! ”
The power of blood qi in Du Teng's body spurted out violently, forming a huge air vortex at the top of the Dragon Sleep Tower.
