"Thalissra, wake up!"
Thalyssra, who was sleeping on her desk in a daze, rubbed her eye sockets, slowly straightened her waist, and said vaguely, "What... Oculus? What's wrong?"
"Magic Network! My instrument detected that the previously abandoned ancient Magic Network has been restarted!" Oculus called Thalyssra while methodically sorting out the large amount of data streams recorded by the instrument, "This kind of use The amount... is definitely not a natural phenomenon. There are living people outside using the magic net?! So close to Suramar?!"
Oculus was shocked with a little surprise, "Thalissra, it's been ten thousand years! Those magic nets were abandoned after we created the Nightwell. They have not been activated in these ten thousand years. You know this Does it mean something?!"
Thalyssra listened to Oculus' cheerful speech and didn't quite understand what her friend was so happy about.
Compared to Oculus, she should be considered a practical magician, while Oculus is more like the previous classical academic school and is more focused on the research and exploration of topics.
Since graduating from the Magic Academy, Thalyssra no longer wants to study subjects that are obscure and most of which are of little use. Using arcane magic to protect her people is what she is more willing to do.
But she also knew that Oculus was obsessed with teleportation spells and academic research, so she wasn't too surprised by Oculus' gaffe. bladder
But she quickly captured another key point.
"You said... someone outside used the abandoned ancient magic network? Could this be the fluctuation caused by an accident after the arcane magic was leaked? As you know, there have been several similar incidents before... "
"No, this time is different from the changes in previous years. The magic network was indeed active before due to unknown reasons, but it only lasted for a short period of time," Oculus heard Thalyssra's words. In doubt, he quickly grabbed the quill and sketched something on the paper.
Half a minute later, Oculus handed the papyrus to Thalyssra, then snapped his fingers and used magic to activate the magic ink attached to the papyrus.
Seeing the familiar yet unfamiliar lines and dots connected one by one under the magic, Talisa gradually realized what it was.
"The magic network node in the area near Suramar?"
"Yes! These nodes are artificially connected, not one, but several! If it is a coincidence, such a situation is impossible."
Seeing that Thalyssra finally understood the current situation, Oculus continued to explain his new discovery, "What does this mean? It means there are living people outside! I think we should find a way to take a look outside the barrier!"
"Wait a minute, Oculus," Thalyssra interrupted Oculus in his excitement, and asked, "How are you sure that those who restart the magic network nodes are friendly? What if it is a demon who opens it? If we reach the node, won't we expose the existence of Suramar? Even if it is not a demon, our previous observers all said that our continent has been broken. Now Suramar is an isolated island floating in the ocean. It did not hide during the Great Schism. It is almost impossible for people who entered the shield to survive that disaster."
Oculus was stunned for a moment, and the joy and excitement in his heart seemed to have been poured with cold water. He calmed down instantly and returned to his usual calm appearance, "You are right... But, I think we should still go out and take a look. , we have been stagnant for ten thousand years, and our civilization has been almost stagnant for ten thousand years."
Although Suramar City was once one of the most prosperous cities in the Kaldorei Empire, it was still too small for an entire ethnic group. Thousands of years of reproduction and transformation have transformed the original Kaldorei into the Shadore today. Thunder, the Children of the Night gradually transformed into another image under the infiltration of the power of the Dark Night Well.
The Nightwell's shields prevented the city of Suramar from being destroyed by tsunamis and earthquakes like the rest of Suramar during the Great Schism, but it also prevented the Nightborne from leaving the city. Maybe it was fine in the previous thousands of years, but now the limited resources and increasing population have made the Children of the Night gradually realize how difficult life is.
After all, the Nightwell is not the Well of Eternity. It cannot inject vitality into the entire Kaldorei Empire like the well water. The power of the Nightwell is already stretched to maintain the huge shield and ensure the people's need for magic. In addition, The Children of the Night have always been worried that the outside world has been completely destroyed, so they not only dare not remove the shield, but also increase the energy supply to the shield year by year.
Thalyssra was left silent after hearing this. Every child of the night knew their plight. Even most people understood that they could not always huddle under the protection of the Nightwell shield, but no one had ever dared to step out of that shield. No one knows whether they dare not disobey the Grand Magister Elisande's orders, or whether the Nightborne themselves are afraid of facing a new fate. bladder
In the end, Thalyssra made a bold decision.
"Find a time, let's bring some people and go to the place where you found the magic network node is connected."
…
Outside the city of Suramar, there is the long-abandoned elven town of Shal'Alan. The ruins here still tell the story of the glory and prosperity of the ancient elven empire.
It's just that this town, which has been sleeping in the dense forest for thousands of years, has welcomed a group of new "residents" in the past few days.
"You stupid ogre! I asked you to pull the car to the left, why did you hit the pillar on the right!" Orgrim had a splitting headache. He couldn't figure out why the ogre was resurrected. After becoming an undead, he still looks hopelessly stupid.
Even brainless skeletons and zombies are easier to control than ogre undead, because those low-level brainless undead will at least obey your instructions completely, while the ogre's bad thing is that he has a brain, but not much. Many times, ogres can "understand" the commander's intentions perfectly and incorrectly, and then make completely unexpected actions. bladder
"I'm really crazy...to follow His Majesty's orders to come here."
Lannathel, the holder of the holy sword Quel'Delar and Kael'thas' confidant, was standing in the high elf camp on the high ground with a look of despair.
She was assigned by Kael'thas to complete an important task. Since this task was likely to be related to the fate of the entire high elves, Lannathel accepted the assignment without even thinking about it and was prepared to contribute to the future of the high elves. everything.
But when she set sail from Quel'Thalas with great ambitions and full of encouragement, she never imagined that what greeted her would not be an adventure of stormy waves and turbulent waves, but a natural disaster floating city that would suppress all living beings to the extreme.
From the moment they landed on the coast of Suramar, the high elves were "surrounded" by the Scourge and entered the hinterland of the former elven empire. Those terrifying two-headed mountain monsters and some creepy-looking elven "mummy" After being cleared by the undead, they set up camp in Shal Ellan.
Looking at the trembling scholars and mages under her command when they were surrounded by the undead, Lana Thel could only sigh - she was not a character entrusted with important tasks at all, she was the only one who appeared here. The reason is that holding Quel'Delar, she is probably the most popular character besides the Sun King and the former Ranger General.
Now that the ranger general is missing, the Sun King will not leave Quel'Thalas easily, but isn't she the only one left to stabilize the mages and scholars sent to perform investigation and research tasks? bladder
Along with Lana'thel came another of Kael'thas's deputies, the astromancer Solanlian. This woman was also sent to perform this task because she was good at divination and stargazing.
"Lanna Thel, are you okay?" Solanlian held a magic book that was bigger than her face and walked to Lana Thel who was sighing. "You don't look very happy." high."
"I'm quite worried that those fragile scholars and academic mages will be eaten alive by the undead. Nothing else." Lannathel looked at the dead fish eyes, but she was not as defenseless as she appeared on the inside. On the contrary, she She kept staring at the high-level undead that made her feel terrified.
Among them, the one that made her most nervous was Orgrim, who was wearing heavy black armor without even showing his face. His tall and muscular body like an iron tower and the exaggerated Saronite rune sledgehammer on his back. The aura she consciously revealed made Lana Thel feel extremely stressed.
"I always feel that guy looks familiar." Lannathel held Quel'Delar on her waist. Orgrim gave her an inexplicable sense of sight, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.
Solanlian had no choice but to comfort the somewhat nervous Holy Sword user, "His Majesty said that we only need to focus on investigation and research, and there is no need to worry about safety."
"How can I feel at ease... You should know better than me how evil necromancy is." Lana Thel sighed and was full of doubts, "Where did these terrifying undead come from? , and why are they not hostile to us and seem to be our allies? Ever since the door of darkness opened, this world has become more and more difficult for me to understand."
Solanlian pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and then told Lana Seel some of the things she had divined, which could make her feel more at ease.
"Do you remember that human prince, the one from Lordaeron, Arthas Menethil?"
A handsome paladin with blond hair appeared in Lannasel's mind, so she nodded, "Of course, I have to say, every move he makes is impressive."
"The stars tell me... these undead souls may have a very close relationship with him."
