"Is there anything to make a fuss about?" Arthas glanced at Kael'thas, "The elf civilization was so prosperous back then, and the magic system had developed to its peak level. Even though the Well of Eternity was lost, those inheritances have been The long-lasting knowledge is still there.”
"But...how did they manage to survive in an abandoned city for ten thousand years?" Jaina could not hide the surprise on her face. She had previously thought that the "residents" mentioned by Arthas meant the remnants of the dead. The ghost.
"I don't know about that. You mages should know those weird magic tricks better than me."
Arthas smiled and shook his head, but did not reveal the dark truth hidden within Elrethalas.
The Highborne's magical skills were indeed unparalleled in the world. After losing the Well of Eternity, they were inevitably affected by something similar to "magic addiction". This terrible sequelae of lack of magic can easily destroy a person's life. Spiritual and physical.
The high elves of Elrethalas naturally encountered such a situation, and they were also affected by extremely severe magic addiction at the beginning.
In order to prevent the residents who survived the disaster from being killed by this ridiculous and tragic sequelae, the mages of Elrethalas made a very bold decision.
Extracting energy from the magic network is not enough for the daily consumption of the high-level elves. Even for most high-level elves, it is better to simply die than to linger on eating the weak magic power.
Naturally, the elven mages could not accept this situation. The knowledgeable mages quickly found a bold, dangerous but very effective solution.
The magic network is spread throughout the universe - what mages often call the void, and those creatures that can rely on their bodies to survive in the void undoubtedly absorb the energy of the magic network with extremely high efficiency.
A crazy idea naturally appeared in the minds of the mages. Although the situation of the upper elves was caused by demons, these elven mages no longer cared about it. They just wanted to live a normal life.
Would the Highborne, who were already madly hungry for magic, still care about these little things? What they need is an urgent energy source that can relieve the symptoms of their addiction. Even if it means drinking poison to quench their thirst, it doesn't matter to them.
In the end, the remaining elven mages used the only materials left in the city to build a tight cage that could almost control most of the demons. In this cage, they once again used the evil summoning circle, from the twisted A powerful demonic creature was summoned from the void.
After this demon was summoned to reality, he immediately began to go crazy. He roared and hit the cage arranged by the upper elves, trying to break free from the shackles of magic.
The mages were frightened by the demon's roar and the massive resistance. Once the monster broke through the cage, they no longer had enough power to capture him. By then, all the living people in Elrethalas would be slaughtered. All.
Fortunately, luck was on the side of Elrethalas this time. The preparations of the mages were quite complete. The demon finally failed to break through the cage they prepared. After the demon gradually exhausted its strength and calmed down, the mages Start trying to extract the magic power from the demon.
Although the magic power contaminated by evil energy will affect people's minds, they try their best to minimize this negative impact and make it bearable. It only makes people's personalities become more irritable.
After imprisoning the demon and extracting his energy to supply daily life, the residents of Elrethalas seem to have returned to the days when they didn't worry about magic power, but in fact everyone knows that this is just an illusion. Just an illusion.
The survivors of Elre'Thalas retreated to the core area of the city, where Queen Azshara's library and treasure house are located, while other places were completely deserted, and the corrupted aura of the powerful demon that was summoned also disappeared. It gradually began to corrupt other areas and attracted many other corrupted creatures.
They settled in the abandoned area of Elre'Thalas, and the elemental creatures in the uncleaned greenhouses and pools were also activated by the increasingly active energy of Elre'Thalas, but because they were all contaminated Without excessive magic power, most of these elemental creatures cannot escape the fate of being corrupted.
Coupled with the fact that the upper elves stayed behind closed doors and paid no attention to the situation in other areas, Elrethalas was now in chaos, filled with low-level demons, satyrs, and corrupted elemental creatures.
Ordinary adventurers entering such a complex terrain and extremely dangerous city would probably not be able to find a body in a matter of minutes. It was only this luxurious expedition team led by Alsace that dared to step into this forgotten city. city of.
Moreover, the expedition team coming to Feralas is not all members. When Brian heard that Alsace was going to lead a team to explore an ancient elven city, he immediately offered to come over and provide free help.
Of course, he used the name of the Explorers Association rather than the name of the Ironforge dwarves, which Kael'thas did not refuse, because he originally wanted to gain more trust in the alliance and let Brian Coming over is also a sign of goodwill.
Besides, the Explorers Association is only interested in ancient cultural relics and strange tools. Magical artifacts and knowledge that may have been lost in the outside world are not that attractive to the dwarves.
The only thing I have to worry about is whether Brian will cause any trouble to the expedition team - I hope so.
More than a week later, the alliance's flag and camp were erected in front of the towering city walls of Elre'Thalas. Kael'thas and several mages had begun to crack the magic seal of Elre'Thalas, trying to open it. long door.
But it seems that they encountered some technical troubles. The magic seal of Elre'Thalas is a method that has never been recorded in the history of the high elves. Kael'thas and the others will need a certain amount of time and energy to crack the seal.
"Why don't you go and see the magic seal there?"
Arthas asked Jaina.
"Why should I go?" Jaina felt strange. "Kael'thas and those elf mages have been working on magic for at least hundreds of years. If they have more knowledge... I may not be able to match it. One-tenth of them.
Not to mention that what they are trying to break is the magic ban of the elves, which is really different from the magic ban I have learned. After humans learned magic from the high elves, they almost derived a completely different method. Same road. "
She felt that if she went there to interfere, not only would she not be able to provide any constructive suggestions, but it would be counterproductive - the high elves still kept their special skills very tightly hidden. If Jaina was there, they might still be Can linger longer.
