Chapter 8: A Mole?

About 7,300 years ago, the philosophies of the upper elves and the night elves regarding the use of arcane became increasingly irreconcilable.

The leader of the upper elves at the time, Darth Rema Sunstrider, decided to break free from the ubiquitous supervision of the Night Elves and led his people out of Kalimdor by boat in the name of exile.

After enduring the hardships of the endless sea, the fleet of the upper elves finally reached the Eastern Kingdom, which was still a wild land at the time, and landed in the Tirisphahl Glade, where they stayed for about 500 years.

Leaving the magical supply of the Well of Eternity, the upper elves began to show symptoms of demonic addiction to varying degrees.

Elves in a state of magical hunger will gradually be swallowed up by endless hunger and thirst, and subconsciously absorb all the energy they can touch.

According to Quel'Salas's historical records, there seems to be some powerful evil buried beneath the Tirisfal Glade, and the woodland is perennially filled with dangerous energy that the upper elves of the time could not comprehend.

Ignoring Darth Rema's dissuasion, some of the upper elves, who were suffering from demonic addiction, inhaled the xenomorph energy that came to be known as the Void into their bodies in order to alleviate the torment of demonic addiction.

This energy, called the Void, is interspersed with obscure whispers.

Under the subtle influence of these whispers, the dark emotions in the hearts of the upper elves were gradually amplified.

Darth Rema, the wise leader, senses the anomaly and sets up a special task force to track down the source.

This particular team is made up of thieves who have come and gone without a trace, and they have successfully completed the mission assigned by Darth Rema, and after many investigations, they finally learned the source of the dark power.

Zakhaz.

Knowing the hidden dangers buried in this land, Darth Rema, who had long been thinking about going, finally made up her mind to lead her people to leave this woodland where they had lived for hundreds of years, and continue to advance towards the north of the continent following the traces of the flow of magical energy.

The history that follows can be memorized even by the young children of the High Elves.

Darth Rema and his followers have overcome difficulties to discover a magical web hub at the northern end of the troll-infested Amani Forest.

Darth Rema poured water from the Well of Eternity, which she had kept for a long time, into a small lake in the center of the Magic Web Hub.

According to historical records, the entire sky of Azeroth was lit up with a soaring magical glow, and the surging arcane magic made all the upper elves present ecstatic.

They have finally found their true home.

Since then, the High Elves have taken root in the Amani Forest.

Darth Rema abandoned the name of the High Elves and called himself the High Elves, and personally renamed his new home the Forest of Yongge, and the small lake full of infinite magic was also named the Well of the Sun.

After thousands of years of change, the team that assisted Darth Rema in secretly investigating the source of the Void's energy has not been disbanded.

Under the frantic counterattack of Amani trolls trying to reclaim their native sanctuary, the newborn Quel'Salas is under immense pressure, and the elite thieves are given more responsibilities in the ongoing war.

Infiltrating investigations, intelligence theft, and assassinations, the original investigation team has gradually evolved into a secret spy department exclusive to the royal family of the Sunseeker.

It's called, Backlit Blade.

The Deep Shadow family, to which Salian belongs, is one of the important backbones supporting the Backlight Blade, and the leader of the current Backlight Blade is none other than Sarren's uncle, Viscount Wellles Deep Shadow, mentioned in the previous barrage.

As well as being a Traveler, Sarjan's father, Julian, is also one of the hidden secret members of the Backlight Blade, mainly responsible for gathering information for the Sunseeker royal family.

Due to their special responsibilities, the descendants of the Deep Shadow family will basically consciously choose thieves as their main combat position.

In the last three generations, only one outlier like Salian has chosen to become a warrior.

Although Salian has no interest in political struggle, in the context of Quel'Salas and a member of the noble Deepshadow family, he will inevitably come into contact with some hidden information that is not known to the general public.

For example, the internal strife at the top of Quel'Salas has become increasingly fierce.

In order to show his gratitude to the elven nobles who followed him through all the hardships and dangers to establish a new nation, the first Sun King, Darth Rema Sunstrider, established the Silver Moon Council, sharing a portion of the power that belonged to the royal family with the nobles who were loyal to him.

The members of the first generation of the Silvermoon Council are all Darth Rema's fans and sisters, and Darth Rema says one, they will never say two.

However, with the death of the first Sun King and the first generation of councillors, their successors are not working together as Darth Lema expects, but are instead opposed to each other over issues of interest.

In the eyes of Deepshadow and other families who have always been loyal to the royal family of the Sunseeker, the Silvermoon Council has now become a cancer that hinders Quel'Salas's development.

Unless there is an emergency such as a tribal invasion, the Silvermoon Council is about rejecting the Sun King's decrees.

Regardless of whether the decree was correct or not, and whether it was beneficial to the people and the country, most parliamentarians voted with their feet closed, demonstrating the limits of parliamentary power on the crown.

The worst part is not this.

Whenever there is a slight voice of dissatisfaction with the national policy in the kingdom, some parliamentarians will not hesitate to throw the black pot on the head of the royal family, and stand aside and sneer and watch the excitement.

To put it simply, the current Quel'Salas leadership is clearly divided into two factions.

They are the royal party dominated by the royal family of the Sunchaser, and the Silvermoon Council...... Or rather, the republicans who represent the interests of the great aristocracy.

Darth Rema probably never dreamed that the Silver Moon Council, which he had established with his own hands to assist the royal family in governance, would form a tail-ending trend in the future.

The struggle for the supremacy of Quel'Salas is bound to be a myriad of dirty things behind it.

Backlight Blade has become more and more active in recent years, and Julian Deepshadow, who is wearing two hats, is often too busy to go home.

Regarding the tribal invasion, although some things have been kept secret, anyone who knows the inside story can see the strangeness.

Lyras: "Mother, Sylvanas, and Winlessa have always been suspicious. ”

"Why can orc warlocks easily find the Bandinorell Runestone buried in a hidden place?"

The Bandi Norrell Barrier is the barrier that protects Quel'Salas, powered by the Sunwell and extremely powerful.

As soon as they enter the enchantment, any caster will be completely muted, eliminating the possibility of the enemy using the spell.

The runestones that make up Bandinorell are very important, they are buried deep in the ground where the nodes of the magic web are located, and three strongholds have been specially built for defense.

The three strongholds are the Moon Temple, the Sun Temple, and the Tower of the Morning Star.

Corona Village was already in sight, and in order to avoid startling the snakes, Salaan and Lyras took a bird's walk some distance from the village.

"The orc warlock named Gul'dan pinpointed the Sun Sanctuary and the Moon Sanctuary and instructed the horde's army to breach the two defensive strongholds, digging up the buried runestones and corrupting them with evil spells."

"Two of the three fulcrums have been lost, and the only remaining tower of the Morning Star is unsustainable, and the Bandinorel enchantment has collapsed."

While Saljan likes to use his hands more than his brain, that doesn't mean he's stupid.

Lyras's purposeful words made Salian subconsciously follow his train of thought deeply.

"You mean, there was a traitor who revealed the weakness of Bandinoriel's enchantment to the Horde?"

Lyras nodded solemnly: "Only then can it be justified." ”

"Warlocks cast spells on a completely different principle from Arcanists, essentially using demonic powers, rather than studying the nature of things like arcane."

"It's not that I look down on Gul'dan, the magician's spell-casting profession that relies on external forces is completely incomparable to the arcane arts, at least in terms of finding the roots."

"I don't believe that Gul'dan relied on his own ability to find the rune stone, there must be something strange behind this matter."

Sarren's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked Lyras thoughtfully, "So, Winlessa went out alone not only to contact the ranger troops in the northern part of the forest, but also to find out the clues left by the traitors and the tribe?" ”

"Answer~True~Done~"

"Whew~"

"Wow!"
