The first batch of trade goods promised by Kael'thas arrived quickly. The reason was that he carried ten bottles of Sunwell water. As the prince of Quel'Thalas, it was also appropriate to carry some well water with him for emergencies. Very necessary.
When the level of magic reaches a certain level, the role of the Sunwell water for magicians is not limited to an energy source. A qualified magic master can use this precious material to do many tricks.
However, Kael'thas will stay in Dalaran for a while recently and will not worry about supplies and the like. Moreover, he has never encountered a time when he needed to use the Sunwell water for emergency, so he proudly gave it to him. All the inventory he had on him was given to Alsace.
But despite this, in order to transport the well water, Kael'thas personally went to Lordaeron and handed over ten bottles of Sunwell water to Arthas as the first installment of deposit.
Arthas' promise was that he would share the possible wealth and knowledge of Elre'Thalas with the high elves.
After asking his father, Kael'thas was particularly confident in doing things, and the price Quel'Thalas finally offered was also completely sincere.
For these elves who have almost no material burdens, rediscovering the knowledge and sacred objects they lost in ancient times is far more important than the magic items and gold jewelry that are accumulated in the treasure house and can only be used to eat ashes.
However, in Alsace's eyes, the value of those gold, jewelry and expensive magic props was far less than those ten bottles of Sunwell water.
The Sunwell is a weakened version of the Well of Eternity created by Dath'Rema using the water from the Well of Eternity and ancient magic. Although the water from the well can no longer be used to create another Sunwell, there are still countless usefulness.
Even if you pour a bottle of Sunwell water into an ordinary spring, you can create a short-term magic spring that can provide dozens of mages with magic.
This kind of power that transforms decay into magic is just the echo of the mysterious source of arcane "well of eternity" that was weakened countless times in ancient times.
After obtaining the necessary materials, Arthas took the well water and tore open the shadow passage leading to Northrend.
"Alex."
The voice of the Lich King's soul quickly reached the minds of the dead elves and Archmage Alex. He quickly put down his research and replied, "Your Majesty, do you need anything?"
"Come to the ritual hall, it's time to prepare for the Lich's transformation ceremony." Alsace stood alone in the ritual hall. He threw the black iron box containing Kel'Thuzad's skull in the center of the magic circle.
The skull bound Kel'Thuzad's soul, which was sufficient for the ritual, as the Lich's body was not transformed from the body before him.
Alex's figure soon appeared in the ceremony hall, and he bowed to Alsace, "Your Majesty, the materials are ready."
Just as the elf mage finished speaking, a young dragon skeleton appeared in the center of the magic circle, and necromancers also appeared in the accompanying magic circles around them. More detailed materials were activated and strengthened by magic in their hands.
The skeleton of this young dragon was one of the bone dragons that Alsace shot down when he attacked the Icecrown Glacier.
Its injury was so serious that it was difficult to even reshape the soul fire, so it was simply turned into a material for shaping the archlich's body.
Although it is only a young dragon, the dragon bones were strengthened with magic by Alex and his mages. In addition, when they were resurrected into bone dragons, they were washed by the soul flames. The strength and toughness of these bones are compared to those of adult dragons. Not to mention too much.
When everything was ready, Alsace took out several crystal bottles containing Sunwell water. The golden liquid flowing in the crystal clear bottles exuded rich arcane energy.
Alex's expression became a little excited - after the destruction of the Well of Eternity, how long had it been since he had seen such a pure and thick source of arcane magic?
"This! The quality of this well water is higher than I imagined. Maybe I only need two or three bottles to complete this ritual!" Alex took the crystal bottle from Alsace's hand and regarded it as a treasure. He looked at it carefully.
"Only two or three bottles?" Alsace was also a little surprised. He immediately thought that maybe the well water could really recreate a new source of energy?
Arthas asked Alex, "Can we use this well water to create a permanent source of magic?"
The expression on Alex's transparent face froze. He seemed to be thinking about the feasibility of this plan. After a few minutes, the archmage shook his head with a little regret.
"Although the energy purity contained in this well water is not much worse than that of the Well of Eternity, it seems to have lost the ability to assimilate other water sources. It is basically impossible to create a new Well of Eternity using the old method."
Alex pinched the neck of the bottle with his fingers, raised the crystal bottle, and stared at the golden liquid, "And the magic of these high elves also affects the well water... Sigh... It's still the same, if there is eternity Maybe I can figure out the true principle of this phenomenon."
Hearing Archmage Alex's complaint, Arthas asked again, "If there is another spring water that is also transformed from the water of the Well of Eternity as a sample, can you get the result?"
"Another 'Well of Eternity'?" Alex's expression became quite strange, "There are so many wells?! Dear Elune, what happened after my death? !”
After sighing with emotion, Alex also realized his gaffe. He coughed twice and said seriously:
"Ahem, sorry, Your Majesty, I mean, if there really is another source of magic created by the original well water, maybe it is not impossible to create a magic source."
"After all, this shows that the Sunwell is not a special case, but an experiment that can be repeated."
"Use these bottles of well water to complete the ceremony first. Of course there is another well, but getting the water in it... is more troublesome."
Arthas handed him all the well water that Alex needed. It was useless to talk about the details of this matter now, because the other well was strictly guarded by the night elves.
But Arthas was not satisfied with just obtaining some secondary generation of eternal well water. He knew where he might be able to get the original, most original true thing.
During the time he was thinking, Alex had already poured the well water in his hand into the magic lines engraved on the ground. The golden liquid carried a massive amount of magic power and flowed through the magic circle, quickly filling the lines. .
Alex saw the opportunity and quickly aroused the power of the magic circle, chanting complex incantations; the necromancers standing in other accompanying magic circles also followed Alex's actions and strictly executed things you should do.
Under the guidance of Alex, the majestic magic power formed a series of light golden shock waves, and under the transformation of the necromancer, these golden magic powers were dyed with an evil light of black or green.
The color of the well water is getting lighter and lighter, and gradually turns into transparent ordinary spring water. You can clearly see through the well water. Green lines spread out from the magic circle under the keel, and soon light up the entire Magic circle.
The fierce magic storm began to entangle the cold wind and snow of Icecrown Glacier and the lost souls gathered in the center of the ceremony hall.
The wail of the soul mixed with the whistling of the wind and snow, creating a strange soul concerto. The original location of the keel was also obscured by a huge snow tornado.
The friction and collision sounds of "click" and "click" gradually sounded, and a faint blue light flashed in the wind and snow.
The sharp, white finger bones penetrated the barrier of wind and snow, and several dark chains formed a ring and began to rotate slowly.
