"Um?"
Jaina's delicate hand shook, and the quill fell on the parchment scroll, making the scroll stained with stains.
"Lady Proudmoore?"
The assistant on the side heard Jaina's voice and thought she was greeting her, but Jaina waved her hand, threw the dirty scroll aside, picked up the quill again, and inserted it into the ink bottle.
She frowned slightly, what was going on with that strange pressure just now? As the archmage, Jaina suddenly felt as if something had fiddled with the magic network of the entire world just now, and she reacted in a way she had never done before.
In connection with the huge changes that have taken place in the entire world, Jaina also thought that this must be related to the "Burning Legion" that Arthas mentioned.
only……
What did the other party do to cause the entire Magic Network of Azeroth to react?
Such a sudden change in the Magic Network caused Jaina to have many bad suspicions. Perhaps except for Arthas, everyone had not yet realized what kind of enemy they were dealing with.
At this moment, far away in Quel'Thalas on the other side of the ocean, beside the Sunwell, which carries the sacred symbol and foundation of the high elves, there is a man with an old face, but his eyes still exude the soul-stirring arcana. The glorious old elf gazed at the Sunwell with equal concern.
When the magic network had just changed, the well water of the Sunwell, which had been stable for thousands of years as a node of the magic network, actually erupted with a terrifying tide.
Fortunately, the mage and old elf guarding the Sunwell Temple, the Sun King Anastarian, reacted quickly and prevented the Sunwell from being damaged.
The Sun King held the golden scepter that symbolized Quel'dorei's power and stared at the well water that had returned to calm, but his heart could not calm down at all.
"Has the disaster from thousands of years ago... finally come again?"
The Sunstrider family is a family that has existed since the ancient Night Elf Empire. Since they left Kalimdor and found a place to settle in the current continent of Lordaeron, they still retain a lot of history and history from the ancient times. Record.
Therefore, Anastarian is very clear that the threats that the ancestors once faced were caused by the abuse of the Well of Eternity, and today, thousands of years later, the high elves are almost exactly walking the same path that Kaldorei once walked. old road.
However, there is nothing that can be done about it. Magic is already imprinted in their blood. As the Quel'dorei who have inherited part of the Highborne's heritage, it is almost impossible to give up the "temptation" of magic.
One thousand or two thousand years later, when the Sunwell has not brought them any danger for thousands of years, the elves have forgotten what happened in the past. Although they have built a strong barrier of Bandine Norel, The fact that the barrier was destroyed during the orc war proved that they were not safe and sound.
However, the parliament and citizens of this country are still immersed in the dream of the Magic Kingdom of Quel'dorei and have not recognized the reality.
The Sun King raised his hand and summoned a ray of water from the Sun Well to flow around his arm. He could clearly feel the magical power contained in the well water, but he did not feel any obsession. Instead, he sighed. With a sound, the well water was sent back.
How long can I help the Queldorei guard this well? Although the Sunwell is powerful, it is still just an imitation of the Well of Eternity. Without the real Well of Eternity, Quel'dorei's lifespan is no longer as long as it was in ancient times.
Anastarian already knew that his time was running out and he could not last forever like magic. Therefore, he deliberately let Kael'thas see the true face of the Council and the kingdom, making his only son furious. Go to the kingdom of mankind.
The elves have always been arrogant. Even though he was aware of the corruption within Quel'Thalas, Anastarian was unwilling to ask for help from humans who were regarded as juniors and apprentices by the elves.
But he hoped that his children could gain some of the vitality of the new race from the thriving humans, instead of being lifeless like the elves.
The existence of the Well of Eternity and the Well of the Sun has made the civilization of the elves flourish, but without the well water, they are nothing, not even as good as the humans they look down upon, and are just a flash in the pan in the long history. Just brilliant.
Thinking of this, the Sun King lightly tapped his scepter and disappeared into the temple.
Although his body was already on the verge of decay, the magic power in his body was still as deep as the abyss.
…
"Did Quel'Thalas only send ranger troops?"
Kael'thas was talking to Sylvanas, and he looked a little embarrassed, because he had promised Arthas that he would strongly assist the alliance and jointly fight against foreign enemies, but now Quel'Thalas' performance is worse than that of other alliance members. , it really stretched my hips a bit.
Sylvanas was also helpless, "I have no choice. This is an order issued by His Majesty himself. In fact, I thought that even the Far Travelers would not be sent."
It has become a habit for the elves to keep to themselves. If they are not forced to do so, they will hardly take the initiative to join any alliance actions. Most of the time, the titles of alliance members are just names. In a real fight, they have nothing to do with them. .
Their principle is: We don't cause trouble, but if you humans cause trouble, don't expect us to help.
Kael'thas sighed, "Those congressmen always think highly of themselves. If there is no help from humans in the second war, we will probably pay an even more painful price."
"Hmph, they are no longer the Silver Moon Council that makes Quel'dorei proud. The current council is either cowards who are greedy for life or afraid of death, or they are short-sighted fools who don't know how to adapt." Sylvana Si has a higher prejudice against the Silvermoon City Councilors than Kael'thas. After all, it is because of those Councilors that the ranger force is so tight every year.
"Fortunately, we have the help of Farstrider, otherwise we might not be able to stand in the Alliance in the future," Kael'thas smiled bitterly. In recent years, Quel'Thalas has indeed provided too little help to the Alliance.
While Sylvanas and Kael'thas were talking, an elf came over and said to the two senior leaders of Quel'Thalas, "The meeting is about to begin."
Sylvanas and Kael'thas looked at each other, stopped talking about the situation in Quel'Thalas, and headed towards the conference hall.
When they arrived at the conference hall, they found that the other members of the pre-war meeting had almost arrived. The two smiled apologetically and found their respective seats.
After waiting for a while, when all the participants were almost there, Uther walked to the front and coughed slightly, and the originally noisy conference hall immediately became quiet.
"Everyone is here, let's get started."
