Chapter 258: Lamppost No. 1, please
When Kael'thas, who had just fallen asleep, heard the news and rushed to the lower level of Shar Alan, he immediately saw a humanoid phantom made of arcane energy.
Due to the enchantment, the outline of this phantom is very blurred.
In the words of the barrage, it is like the picture presented by an old TV, not only is the definition extremely low, but there will also be a similar picture flickering with a poor signal at any time.
"It's an honor to meet for the first time...... Zi ...... I am...... Zi ...... Talisa. β
The self-proclaimed Talisa's phantom is badly distorted, and it is difficult to communicate with her fluently in this state.
SalΓ©an looked at Valtoi, who was struggling to keep in touch, and then turned his gaze to Stellagosa.
"Stella, can you improve the communication?"
Little Star raised her eyebrows slightly, and glanced at Valeera, whose face was not very good-looking, as if unintentionally.
"I'll try...... Tina, come and help me. β
"Okay~"
Blue Dragon is an expert at adjusting the net, but Stella Gossa and Tina Gosa are still too young to transform the web with the same ease as Senagoss, the old fritter.
With the cooperation of Valtoy, the two blue dragons spent about 5 minutes adjusting the frequency, and finally stabilized the picture and sound transmission.
As the prince of the High Elves, Shar Aylan is the undisputed man of the word, and Kael'thas stands up for it.
"I'm glad to hear from you, Chief Arcanist Lady Talisa, I'm Prince Quel'Thalas, Kael'thas Sunstrider, and perhaps you've heard the name of my ancestor, Darth Rema."
After the arcane projection stabilized, Salian and the others were finally able to see the details of Talisa's face.
There was a clear look of surprise and nostalgia on her delicate and beautiful mature countenance: "Darth Rema, I haven't heard this name in over 10,000 years. β
"As you say, Your Royal Highness the Young Prince."
Talisa quickly came to her senses and politely saluted Kael'thas with the unique etiquette of the Children of the Night.
"I do know Darthrema Sunstrider, with whom I had some scholarly exchanges with Sin'aisari before the Battle of the Ancients began."
Talisa had thought that this contact was just Valtoi's last struggle, but she unexpectedly met Darthrema's descendants.
Since she was secretly intercepting the magic net for her own use, Talisa could not maintain the projection for a long time, otherwise she would inevitably be discovered by those "good colleagues" who had been watching her every move.
Kael'thas was also aware of the problem, and after settling the stiff atmosphere between the two parties through the name of the ancestor, he quickly cut to the chase.
Recounting the accident that occurred during the exile in the shortest possible sentences, Kael'thas stepped aside and motioned for Valtoi to step forward.
"Miss Valtoi's condition deteriorated quickly, leaving the magic nourishment of the Night Well, the arcane energy in her body quickly became unbalanced, coupled with the large amount of magic output before, she lost a lot of weight in just a few hours."
At this time, Valtoy no longer had the same radiant appearance as before.
Her body and cheeks had become very thin, and her eyes were deep-set, a bit of a wither, but they hadn't deteriorated to that extent.
Shar Alan's magic has stabilized her state for the time being, and once her mana is cut off, she will continue to accelerate her transformation into a wither.
Valtoy's body was a little rickety, his arms were folded together, and his whole body trembled a little.
Since birth, Valtoi has never been out of the magic of the Night Well, and the double changes in her body and spirit have filled her eyes with uneasiness and horror, and the little arrogance that was still left before can no longer be seen.
Valtoi's drastic change in form irritated Talisa, and Sarean noticed a noticeable twitch in her cheeks.
Nervously and expectantly, Valtoy said to Talisa, "Chief Arcanist, can you ...... Can you bring me back to Sulama City? I feel...... Not so good. β
Talisa was silent for a few seconds before she said in a bitter tone, "Unfortunately, my proposal was not approved by more than half of the members of the advisory board. β
"Yes...... ? β
Valtoi had a premonition of the situation, but hearing the results with her own ears made her mood a little low.
Kael'thas stepped forward again to pick up the subject, "Lady Talisa, you also see how miserable the Children of the Night will be if they are out of the reach of the Night Well. β
"I want to tell you that this isn't their worst state."
"Excuse me, have you ever heard of the Withered?"
β¦β¦
The exchange between Kael'thas and Talisa lasted only half an hour, but within half an hour, the two parties, who had intended to borrow each other's strength, quickly finalized their cooperation.
Night Elves and Withered, these two terms and examples stung Talisa deeply.
Due to Elisander's strict ban, Talisa had never visited the field, and this was the first time she had really seen what would happen to the exiles of the Nightchildren.
Compared to Elisunde's other advisors, Talisa has a strong sense of responsibility to her own people.
Before she saw it with her own eyes, she could still lie to herself, maybe those who were exiled from the city had been freed from their addiction and lived a peaceful and peaceful life.
The harsh reality shattered her last illusions and strengthened Talisa's belief in convincing Elisandr to open up Sulama.
Akandor's miraculous effects made Talisa's eyes very hot, and after many years, she finally saw hope for a cure for the demonic addiction of her people, which undoubtedly made her ecstatic.
But in order to reap the fruits of Akandol, Surama must first open the barrier and reconnect with the outside world.
Talisa promised that she would use Akandol as bait and do her best to convince Elisandr to open the enchantment.
Kael'thas also pledged that Quel'Thalas would be a guide to their reintegration into Azeroth, and that he would share the precious fruit of Akandol with the Children of the Night, as long as Sulamar was willing to open up.
After the communication ended, Kael'thas breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Voletar, Serana, do you think Talisa will be able to convince Elisander?"
The old and solemn Volretal and Serana glanced at each other, and they both shook their heads with a wry smile at the same time.
"To be honest, I'm afraid it's hard."
"According to Valtoy, Elisandr has not been in charge for a thousand years, and has spent his days in the Night Fortress studying the Eye of Almansur, assigning many of the powers necessary to run the city to his advisory group."
"No matter how tempting the bait Talisa throws, it would be for nothing to see Elisander himself."
"As for the other consultants......"
Serana sneered and hooked the corners of her mouth: "They may enjoy the appearance of the poor people of Sulama giving up their dignity and wagging their tails to themselves, I don't think the advisors, who have vested interests, will agree to break the status quo." β
Kael'thas asked with a solemn expression, "In other words, we still have to prepare for the worst according to the plan?" β
The so-called worst-case scenario was proposed by Sarean, and it was a last resort.
Saryan spread his hands and said, "So didn't I say it a long time ago, just let the Talisa quickly cut through the mess, and forcibly open the enchantment to let us enter the city 'King Qin'." β
"What nonsense do you talk about with those wine bags and rice bags who only know how to consolidate power and don't care about the lives of the people?"
Vorretal said with a wry smile: "Although it sounds too simple and crude, it is very likely that the subsequent development will really move in this direction." β
Having witnessed what happened to Valtoy not long ago, Salayen has no good feelings for the higher-ups of the Night's Children who are in his position but do not seek political power.
In barrage parlance, these guys should all be hanging from Sulama's lampposts.
That night, despite the displeasure of the other advisers, Talisa called everyone for a second meeting at short notice, and resolutely stated that she would meet with Alisand himself.
Van Dos, the advisor in charge of the archmage's internal affairs, sneered at Elisander's proposal on the grounds that she was in retreat and penance.
According to past experience, Talisa will give in when she touches a nail.
But this time was different, Talisa still insisted on her opinion, and vowed not to give up until she saw Elisandr.
Van Dos was forced to step down on the spot, and the other advisers also had a lot of dirt with each other, and they didn't mean to help at all, but instead watched the hilarious banter, sitting back and watching Talisa and Van Dos clash head-on.
Far away outside the city, Sarian and the others didn't know what had happened that night, and when they contacted Talisa again the next day through the magic web communication, the chief arcanist with dark circles had a murderous look on his face.
"My colleagues are hopeless, while they are sleeping during the day, I will force the enchantment to be opened to a limited extent, you guys are ready, and carry out the final preparation plan."
"Surama needs a fire to wake up the commoners and nobles who have gone with the flow, so that they can realize first-hand that times have changed."
