Kel'Thuzad is still unmarried, and he has devoted all his life's energy to the pursuit of truth.
This is not the first time that Sharlayan has heard barrages emphasizing the excessive curiosity of mages when searching for the truth. Kel'Thuzad is the leader among these truth seekers.
Mage is a more general title.
Strictly speaking, all spellcasters can be called mages.
In order to clearly distinguish the different factions of spellcasters, those who use fel energy are named warlocks, and those who use death energy are called necromancers.
According to the customs and beliefs of each race, there are also spellcasting professions such as priests, shamans and druids.
Dalaran has been flaunting academic openness and freedom from the day it was founded, but in fact this is just a slogan used to deceive outsiders.
free?
If truly free, the Kirin Tor Council would not prohibit the study of fel, death, and the power of the void.
Admittedly, from the perspective of the lawful camp of Azeroth, the Kirin Tor Council's decision is understandable. These bans are to prevent lawless mages from causing unnecessary trouble and danger to Dalaran.
But because of this, the so-called open freedom has become a nonsense, which is nothing more than limited freedom within an established framework.
But... As the saying goes, there are policies from above and countermeasures from below.
Is it prohibited by Dalaran? Okay, then I will study secretly. As long as I am not discovered, I will still be a good mage. I will be happy to do forbidden research with royal food.
Are there many people like this in Dalaran?
So many, so many.
When the Tirisfal Council was still there, they would secretly arrest many mages from Dalaran every year who were engaged in forbidden research and had exceeded the limit.
Now that the Council of Tirisfal has passed away, the work they left behind falls on the shoulders of the Kirin Tor Council.
In the early years when the Council of Tirisfal was still there, there were people behind the scenes to help wipe the butt. The Kirin Tor councilors felt little pressure and had plenty of time to do their own research.
It was precisely because they were too busy that mages, including Modera, gathered together to engage in humanist thought.
Until the Council of Tirisfal was uprooted by Medivh, the influx of troubles would soon overwhelm the Kirin Tor councilors headed by Antonidas.
Before he was killed in battle, Dranden was specifically responsible for this kind of work. The miscellaneous dirty work kept Drandon so busy all day long that he had no time to carefully explore the actual dangers of each task.
Then of course he overturned.
Learning from Dranden's lessons, Antonidas redistributed the burdens left by the Council of Tirisfal.
He arranged for Ansrem and Carle to be alternately responsible for hunting down demons and conducting internal self-examinations. The forces of the two congressmen supervise each other and promote each other.
In barrage terms, this is involution. Whoever performs well will get more resources.
Rommath had been fishing in the name of a councilman before, and spent most of his time in Quel'Thalas doing research.
Even if Kael'thas has plans to turn Rommath's position into reality, the work he is responsible for in Dalaran is mainly diplomatic work related to Quel'Thalas, and will not be deeply involved in Dalaran's internal affairs. This is an unspoken understanding between the two parties.
Ronin, on the other hand, was busy coordinating the matter of levitating Dalaran. This was a big project, and Antonidas, as the Speaker, had to spare a lot of time to assist him.
With the Kirin Tor Council so busy, Kel'Thuzad buried his head in research alone, turning a deaf ear to everything outside, which would inevitably arouse the dissatisfaction of other colleagues.
Kel'Thuzad was Antonidas's most valued and proud apprentice. With Antonidas pressing down on him, no one would blatantly criticize him in a short period of time.
But Antonidas couldn't protect him forever.
Not to mention that Sarlayan had specially given eye drops to the old Speaker before, which made Antonidas a little more suspicious of the specific project Kel'Thuzad was researching.
But now Dalaran still has a lot of troubles to deal with. First of all, it is necessary to calm the uneasy atmosphere in the city, inform everyone that the danger inside Dalaran has been eliminated, and call on the residents who fled to Ambermere Town to return to Dalaran.
Antonidas was so busy that he had no time to verify Kel'Thuzad's research project.
Sarlayan took the initiative to ask Ying to have academic exchanges with Kel'Thuzad. The old speaker planned to take this opportunity to test Kel'Thuzad's reaction, and then adjust the response method according to the actual situation.
Mr. Bigglesworth, this is the name of the kitten raised by Kel'Thuzad.
Kel'Thuzad, who was busy pursuing the truth, had no time to take care of personal emotional issues. He pinned all his emotions on this kitten.
During the Second Orc War, Kel'Thuzad, as the representative of Dalaran, led the mage troops to act with the Alliance army.
During this period, he witnessed the death knights of the orcs with his own eyes, and became very interested in this strange spell that can allow people to remain conscious after death.
Life is short. Human beings, the mainstream race in the Eastern Kingdom, only have a lifespan of about a hundred years. Even if arcane magic is used to extend their lifespan, they will not exceed 150 years.
Kel'Thuzad knew that he would die one day. He had no reverence for death itself, but he was unwilling to see the mystery of the truth at the moment of his death.
However, if you can transform yourself into a lich that will never die naturally, like the legendary Merry Winterwind, you will have more time to complete your lifelong pursuit.
After the war, Kel'Thuzad began to devote all his energy to the study of necromancy.
He even applied for the body of an orc death knight, and borrowed the notes left by Merry Winterwind through Antonidas's authority as the speaker.
All the efforts he made were to transform himself into an immortal lich safely and reliably.
But Kel'Thuzad's research didn't go smoothly.
Merry Winterwind's transformation was a last resort during the war years, and Merry himself knew how twisted and unnatural his form of existence was.
In the notes left by Merry, the parts related to the Lich Transformation Ceremony were artificially erased.
The early human mages were all guided and enlightened by the high elves. They found that they could not find the information they wanted from Merry Winterwind's notes. Kel'Thuzad intended to have academic exchanges with the high elves and learned about necromancy from their mouths. for more details.
But unfortunately, Quel'Thalas and Dalaran had a falling out because of the humiliation of Prince Kael'thas.
Although the two sides did not completely break up, the originally close cooperative relationship was almost completely severed.
Kel'Thuzad tried to communicate with Quel'Thalas many times in his personal capacity, but each of his applications was rejected without mercy by the Royal Arcane Society of Quel'Thalas.
The person in charge of this work happens to be Rommath, a senior archmage who appears to be a member of the Kirin Tor, but is actually the president of the Royal Arcane Society.
After Dalaran fell out with Lordaeron, Quel'Thalas' diplomatic strategy changed and it intended to re-establish diplomatic relations with Dalaran.
Kel'Thuzad, who had been studying in seclusion, didn't know anything about this matter. Antonidas just entrusted Sarlayan to tell this information to his proud apprentice who was hiding behind closed doors.
[Mr. Bigworth...I suddenly thought of Naxxramas. 】
[When the kitten standing at the door is killed, Kel'Thuzad will roar hysterically and threaten. 】
[In short, you will know whether Mr. Bigglesworth is dead or alive if you go and see for yourself. He is still a Schrödinger's kitten. 】
[Hey, Schrödinger is okay. As long as it is not observed, he is in a quantum superposition state of life and death, right? 】
[Indecisiveness, quantum mechanics. 】
Sarlayan was busy chatting with the barrage, but Valeera happened to see Lylas walking in the streets of Dalaran.
Once no one controls him, this guy is like a runaway husky, completely different from the one he had when he and Sarlayan acted together before.
"By the way..."
Valeera interrupted the exchange between Sarlayan and Danmaku: "Do you feel that Lylas seems a little restrained when we act together?"
Sarlay was stunned for a moment, recalling Lilas's behavior during this period.
"When you put it like that...it's true that when he gets along with us, he is obviously not as natural as he was a few years ago."
Valeera sighed softly: "Perhaps the gap in strength with us made him feel a sense of gap. It was obvious that we were all standing on the same starting line three years ago."
"Um……"
Sarlayan also noticed Lyras having fun in the city: "Let's write this down for now, and tell Sylvanas and Vereesa about the situation when we go back."
"I'm afraid this kid needs some psychological counseling."
