NO.0634 A GATE OF THE LUNA
A few days later, Kalimdor, northwest sea.
Located in the canopy of the second World Tree, "Tedashir", Darnassus, as the capital of the Night Elf race, has been an ancient and mysterious place for tens of thousands of years, and even many Night Elf professionals have not had the opportunity to set foot here.
Until a few years ago, Darnassus was completely open.
The interior of the main city, which was originally empty and secluded, is now full of dense people, and even most of the area outside Darnassus has a large number of Night Elves encamped, including many creatures close to the Night Elf race.
Such as the Guardian of the Jungle, the Daughter of Nature, the Woodthroat Bear Monster, and many more.
An area with a population of less than a million has been squeezed into close to 20 million people, making it difficult for Dalarsus to move forward over the years, and the graceful and luxurious living conditions of the Night Elves have plummeted, much worse than many human civilians.
Only the center of Darnassus, the area where the chiefs of the various clans live, can still maintain their original level.
"We can't go on like this! hundreds of our compatriots are dying every day from hunger and panic, and we must make a decision as soon as possible!" said Tyrande, dressed in a beautiful robe, in a heavy tone.
The meeting, located in the Temple of the Moon of Darnassus, had been going on for a whole day.
The four existing Moon Emissaries, the Night Elves' Priestess of the Moon, the Jungle Guardians, the Woodthroat Bears, and several demigods all gathered here to argue about how to continue the survival of the race.
After some deliberation, two plans were formulated.
The first option is to choose to hold on.
Gather the key members in Teldashir. and the two World Trees of Nodashir in the Holy Mountain of Hyjal, under the premise of protecting themselves, seeking a chance to fight back or survive.
However, such a choice means giving up many people.
Although the Night Elves have the lowest fertility rate among the various races in Azeroth, and it takes a long time to reproduce and grow, they still have a large population base of hundreds of millions.
More than half of them are Night Elf civilians.
Tedashir is currently at full capacity, and although the Sacred Mountain of Hyjal is vast, it can only hold less than 60 million living beings at most. And if you add other creatures that are friendly with the Night Elf race. This population will also need to be at least tripled or quadrupled.
That is to say, if you choose the first option, you have to abandon four-fifths of the people.
This is not simply left to fend for itself, but completely a dead end, judging from a series of events in the past few years. People who have not been granted asylum. It's the blood food that will definitely become a powerful being.
The second option is to choose to leave.
When a few years ago the Risfal Glades was defeated in a war. After the news spread throughout the world of Azeroth, there was no race protected by a powerful holy place like the World Tree, and the forces led by humans, blood elves, and dwarves. A way out has been found.
That is to pass through the Dark Portal and travel to the ruined world of Draenor, the Outlands.
As early as hundreds of years ago, the alliance of humans, dwarves, and night elves in the world of Azeroth contacted Muru, who represented the power of light in the outer regions, and after a bloody battle, they expelled the Burning Legion and controlled most of the area.
At the same time, many areas of the outer regions have also been developed because of their abundant resources.
However, compared to Azeroth, which has a world barrier, the shattered former world of Draenor, now known as the Outlands, is invaded by small groups of the Burning Legion all the time, and maybe one day it will be devastated.
Therefore, most of the people who are active in the Outlands are adventurers.
But now that the world of Azeroth has Yang Long, the terrifying threat of the ancient gods, the kingdoms of the eastern continent that have no strength to resist regard the outer regions as the last straw, and began to migrate a few years ago.
As kingdoms that once fought together, the forces of humans and dwarves welcome the Night Elves to evacuate as well.
But unlike humans and dwarves, who are born with lifespans, the Night Elves have always had an almost infinite life because of the images of the two World Trees, and the sacred places that sheltered them became their shackles.
If they leave the world of Azeroth, they will quickly age and die.
This is also the fundamental reason why the Night Elf army was wiped out after participating in the Outland War, only a small part of them died at the hands of the enemy, and most of them died of rapid aging after the war, even if they returned to the world of Azeroth.
Even Mavi Shadowsong, who killed Illidan Fury, lost his life for this reason.
Of course, not all Night Elves are unable to survive, after several years of repeated attempts, it has been found that as long as the Night Elves are not more than a thousand years old, they will gradually adapt to the environment after entering the outer realm, and degenerate into half-elves with an average lifespan of 800 years.
The half-elf has shrunk a lot from most of the Night Elves' appearance.
In fact, compared to humans and dwarves, or blood elves with the same greatly reduced lifespan, the degraded half-elves of the night elves are still the longest-lived race, and theoretically the reproduction cycle and growth rate of the half-elves will also change to a certain extent, and they still have an advantage over other races.
But it doesn't mean anything to the Night Elves as a whole.
According to the current growth cycle of the Night Elves, the Night Elves with a thousand years of life, but the children who have just reached adulthood, look no different from those Night Elves who have been tens of thousands of years old, but their strength level and mental maturity are day by day.
On the contrary, it only takes a hundred years for humans, dwarves and other races to grow into pseudo-super-level powerhouses.
That is to say, if all the Night Elves enter the outer realm, it will not take a few years to save one, and although the rest can be stocked, the mind is only a few children, and the strongest strength is only the top level, and the entire race is equivalent to having no power to protect itself.
If you don't have the strength, you will be enslaved, and then you will just become a vassal of other races.
Although the Night Elves and the friendly race have also sent many of their fellow clans into the Dark Gate in the past few years as a precaution, the second plan was immediately rejected as soon as it was proposed.
"Every second we delay, some of our compatriots will die, and we can't afford to delay. Malfurion-Fury, who was sitting not far away, said the same thing, but no one agreed.
The leaders of the Night Elves' goodwill forces were all puzzled.
At present, there is only one way to go in front of everyone, that is, to stick to the two world trees and give up the vast majority of compatriots, which is not a choice at all, it is just who proposes to bear the infamy.
On the contrary, several moon god messengers, as well as the spirit of the natural demigods, had a somewhat complicated complexion.
Finally, after more than ten minutes of cold play, the most powerful existence among the spirit of nature, the legendary "God of Nature" who gave birth to the Guardian Race of the Jungle with the Moon God, Malorn sighed and said, "It's time to open that door." ”
All the leaders present were shocked in unison, and their eyes were focused on Malone's illusory soul.
The door that Malonen is talking about is the root of the plan that has not been finalized after various discussions since this day, and it is the last retreat left to the creatures of this world when the legendary moon god Elune left.
It is equivalent to the Noah's Ark in the legend of the earth in Yang Long's previous life.
This secret has been passed down among the creatures of nature, but not many people take it seriously, and only the five messengers of the moon gods, as well as the demigods of nature such as Malonen, know exactly the existence of the door.
But to open this door, it will cost a lot.
First of all, it is necessary to have the ancient spirits sacrifice themselves as a medium, and after using the energy of a world tree as the basis, and then tens of thousands of ancient souls can balance the fluctuations of space, before they can open the way to another world.
As for what is on the other side of the pathway, no one knows at all.
"A few old friends and I, the reason why we can still exist in a soul state after dying in battle is also because of the world of Azeroth, rather than being buried in the hands of the Elder Gods in the end, let's do something for everyone!"
Malone, in the form of an elk's soul, expressed his thoughts of self-sacrifice with gentle words
