When he first settled in Dalaran, Kael'thas was always in a bad state. He was in a daze, his limbs were weak, and he couldn't even cast low-level spells well.
It took two weeks for Kael'thas to adjust. Only then did he truly realize that the Sunwell was not only a gift, but also a terrible burden.
Every elf born in Quel'Thalas has been able to draw considerable magic power from the environment to supply itself since childhood.
The Sunwell, located at the hub of the Magic Network in Quel'Thalas, can easily supply abundant magic power to every part of their land through the Magic Network extending in all directions.
Spellcasters are more likely to appear among elves, partly because of their rich heritage and good talents, but the more important reason is that the Sunwell is an almost endless source of magic, which no human mage has. Advantages comparable to law.
They enjoy the blessings of the Sunwell all the time, which makes them live longer, physically stronger, and magic is integrated into every part of their lives.
As long as the elven mage stands on the land of Quel'Thalas and casts spells, even a mage apprentice can easily use many spells that can only be used by formal mages, and the spells of formal mages will become more powerful.
There are only a handful of elves in Quel'Thalas who don't often draw magic power from the Sunwell's magic network supply-that is, the rangers who are willing to stay close to nature. They do not rely on drawing magic power to strengthen themselves and fight like mages. Skills and understanding of the wild nature are how they improve their strength. Sylvanas, Lor'themar and Halduron are one of them.
In addition to these rangers, in Quel'Thalas, even ordinary elves are freely absorbing the magic of the Sunwell. After all, this source of magic will never dry up.
But when the elves leave Quel'Thalas for too long and can no longer absorb the high-quality magic power of the Sunwell, their spirits and wills will be unbearably tortured.
This situation can only be avoided by returning to Quel'Thalas and re-absorbing the magic of the Sunwell, so few native-born elves leave Quel'Thalas for a long time.
Kael'thas also read relevant research in the library of the Sunstrider Court, a condition that Quel'dorei scholars call "demon addiction."
But the elves don't care about this. Who can break the Bandinorel barrier, break through the elves' many defenses, defeat the powerful Sun King, and threaten the foundation of their livelihood?
Even he himself originally thought that this impact was exaggerated. It wasn't until he stayed in Dalaran for a while that he realized that those records were not only not exaggerated, but were even understated!
Even ordinary mages control magic far better than ordinary elves, but as an archmage, Kael'thas, whose strength and will are far beyond ordinary people, was tortured and weakened by this strange influence for half a month.
What will happen to ordinary elves if they leave the Sunwell for a long time? He couldn't even imagine it.
Kael'thas discovered that it usually takes a month for the elf mages to get rid of this dependence on magic power, which is also related to their own willpower. On the contrary, the rangers were basically not affected, and at most they were unwell for a while. It returned to normal in two days.
Only then did Kael'thas suddenly understand why Quel'Thalas, which was clearly dominated by magic, had rangers who were almost on the same level as mages, and even had the position of Ranger General in charge of the entire southern forest military. .
This is actually a piece of insurance left by the first generation of the Sun King - if something happens to the Sunwell, Quel'Thalas will not lose all its power overnight and become a prey to others.
Magic addiction suddenly became a headache for Kael'thas. His father and his ancestors did not care about this problem because the Elf Kingdom at that time was powerful enough, and no other force on the continent could truly threaten Quel'Thala. Sri Lanka.
But the orc war a few years ago proved that they were not safe. The world was not without dangers. Coupled with the Amani trolls that had recently become more aggressive, Kael'thas suddenly discovered that the elves seemed to have One foot stepped outside the cliff.
While he was training in Dalaran, he had been thinking about how to relieve the elves from their addiction to magic. However, this was a problem that countless arcane researchers had not figured out in their entire lives. No matter how talented Kael'thas was, There is no way to bridge the gap.
Until he met Alsace's girlfriend in Dalaran.
Then he met Alsace because of this, and he was beaten up by Alsace at that time. After listening to Alsace's words, he suddenly felt that Alsace was more attractive than his girlfriend.
This is certainly not to say that Kael'thas's hobbies suddenly changed, but that he discovered a temperament in Alsace that he did not possess - the self-confidence of a king.
Is Kael'thas confident? Of course, he is the best and most talented mage in Quel'Thalas for hundreds of years. He is the Sun King's biological son and the future Sun King. But Kael'thas lacked the self-confidence to become the Sun King from beginning to end. He always believed that he was not enough to bear such a heavy responsibility.
But Alsace was different. His determination and decisiveness reminded Kael'thas of his father's demeanor in his prime.
Also as a prince, Kael'thas was not as good as Alsace, so he immediately gave up on the optional issue of pursuing love, and became friends with Alsace, just to learn from Alsace's attitude. things, solving all aspects of things.
The important information that Arthas possesses is far beyond what Kael'thas can match. After all, Kael'thas only knows the secrets of ancient times, but Arthas also knows all the major turning points of fate in this world. The two of them Judgments about the future are immediately on a different level.
During the time Arthas stayed in Dalaran, Kael'thas learned a lot from this friend who was younger than him by who knows how many years. And Arthas, before returning to Lordaeron, revealed something to Kael'thas in a very subtle way.
——He knows the solution to Kael'thas' demonic addiction.
Kael'thas almost wanted to detain Alsace on the spot and force him to find out the result, but fortunately he resisted the urge to take action.
"Finding enough pure energy to replace the magic power of the Sunwell is one of the ways."
After finishing speaking, Arthas mounted the gryphon and left, leaving Kael'thas alone to savor: One of the ways? In other words, Alsace knows other ways?
This method is of course useful. The best example is the human mages. They use the purest magic network energy. Although it is difficult to absorb, it is like dew compared to the lake compared to the Sun Well, but it is basically not heard by human mages. Said who is troubled by addiction.
Do you want the elves to abandon the lakes around them and eat dew instead?
Kael'thas understood on his knees that this was basically impossible to do, not to mention that almost all the magic in Quel'Thalas was affected by the power of the Sunwell. It was impossible to find the pure magic network outside.
Moreover, elves need a lot of magic power every day to avoid the influence of magic addiction. It is impossible to achieve this by just relying on the little accumulation of human mages.
Kael'thas was upset when Arthas left mid-sentence, but he realized it after he calmed down - Arthas was his friend, but there was no need to care about all the elves, so he told himself A single way to avoid addiction…
Alsace's meaning is very clear when you look at it this way: You and I are friends, and I will help you, but if you want to know how to free the whole family from the trouble of magic addiction, then you must understand that nothing is free in the world. For lunch.
Thus, Alsace's best friend Kael'thas appeared.
The elf prince would definitely not do anything out of the ordinary to "please" Arthas in his own right, but he knew that what Arthas needed was for him to be on his side, because he was the sole heir to the Sun King.
Today, when Kael'thas came to express his gratitude to Alsace, he also wanted to tie Alsace and himself to the same chariot of interests. If Alsace didn't already have a fiancée, he would even want to tie some elf to it. The lady was introduced to Alsace.
Kael'thas pretended to glance at Sylvanas casually. He was very respectful and grateful to the ranger general, but he always felt that Sylvanas' performance today was not quite right.
You must know that although Sylvanas does not show her hatred for humans, Kael'thas knows that she has no good impression of humans.
But her attitude when facing the prince of Lordaeron shocked Kael'thas: Is this the all-powerful ranger general, not the second young lady from a big family?
Is this like her elder sister and younger sister, who fell into a trap immediately? Is it true that the Windrunner family is actually a good human being?
Should I tell Alsace's fiancée? Or should we simply bring these two together?
If Sylvanas knew what Kael'thas was thinking, she would definitely teach this overthinking elf prince a lesson regardless of his status as a prince - she was obviously doing this for the sake of Quel'Thalas' diplomatic face, wasn't she? So casual, but you are already planning to sell me?
It can be said that in this semi-secret meeting, apart from the fact that the Archmage Romans had no other intentions than to complete the mission of his own prince, the other three people all had their own agendas.
