"I want to save the people, but the people are not worth saving. What they need is a dictator, a master, a king."
The great revolutionary Sora Starbreaker finally revealed his true thoughts under the constant provocation of Alleria Windrunner, the ranger lord of Silvermoon City.
A story that is not surprising, a child’s growth history.
As a child, Sora showed extraordinary magical talent and excellent learning ability. So of course she went to Quel'Danas, bathed in the light of the Sunwell, learned the best magic of the high elves, and received the title of Grand Magister at the age of less than a hundred years old. If he follows the visions of others, young Sora should continue to advance rapidly on the path of magic, becoming the defender of Silvermoon City and a solid supporter of the Sunstrider dynasty.
Sora used to think so too.
Until she fell into a philosophical dilemma——What is nobility?
Why are nobles noble, why are high elves superior to others, and why are kings kings?
Originally it was just a philosophical question, so Sora asked all the elders he could for advice. But the more I heard the elders' answers, the more confused I became, and the more I tried to figure it out, the less I understood.
Until one day, when the great mage Biluohua sighed to Sola, "Maybe only the gods can answer your confusion," the female elf gave up her identity as a great mage without hesitation and became a priest.
Sola does not regret the change in status, because during the days of practicing in the temple, she understood the value of tolerance and redemption, and the charm of equality among all living beings.
However, this was also the beginning of the suffering in her inner world.
If divided by hundreds of years, her generation can be regarded as witnesses of the last pioneering era of Silver Moon City.
Sora Starbreaker witnessed the decay of Silvermoon City...
Insufficiency and the depravity of outsiders.
The royal family is caught in a power struggle with the Parliament. The people are unwilling to make progress and are content with the superior life brought by magic technology. Knowledge and channels for advancement are monopolized, and racial classes are gradually solidified.
What is the difference between this and the night elf Kaldorei dynasty, which was criticized and despised?
During the days when he was a priest in the temple, the leisurely life gave Sora a lot of time to think about life and read the classics.
Reflecting on history, Sora fell into confusion in life.
Therefore, her teacher suggested that she return to the Sunstrider Court and the center of power of the high elves.
It is useless to think too much. Only practice is the only criterion for testing truth.
If you don't do it, nothing can be changed.
That year, Alleria was promoted to Ranger Lord for slaying the trolls.
So the talented girl Sora Starbreaker decided to change jobs again and join the Farstriders.
The arduous training did not faze Sora, but because of the unremitting efforts of Alleria and her generation, by the time Sora obtained the title of ranger, Zul'Aman's troll remnants could no longer even compete with him.
Suppressing trolls has become a means for noble children to accumulate merit and seek promotion.
Silver Moon City's army is still strong, but under such strength is the growth of corruption and crime.
In another hundred years, Sora worked almost every profession he could think of and traveled all over Quel'Thalas.
An inexplicable sadness and anger swelled in her chest.
She finally understood the meaning of Bi Luohua's words back then.
The Grand Magister didn't really want her to seek advice from the gods, but was sighing at her own powerlessness.
She, Sora Starbreaker, was not the only smart person who saw the clues, but the other smart people chose to remain silent.
If you don't want to, I will.
What you don't want to do, I will do.
With such emotions, Sora stepped into the political whirlpool of Silvermoon City.
In the struggle between the Sunstriders and the Silvermoon City Council, countless good proposals were shelved, countless good people were deposed, and the starting point for everything was politics, politics! politics! ! !
And what about the people of Silver Moon City?
All he cares about is money, clothes, and food.
Everything he saw and heard told Sola this truth - the reason why a noble is a noble has nothing to do with being noble, but because his/her father is a noble. Why are high elves superior to others? Because the magical attainments of high elves are higher than that of humans.
This is not the Quel'dorei I am proud of, this is not the homeland I love!
Sora, who couldn't find a way out in confusion and anger, was easily exploited like a fly in a glass jar, becoming a sharp knife in the hands of the parliamentary faction.
But truly wise people never forget to reflect and introspect.
After recognizing the true nature of the parliamentary faction, Sora determined to fight for the rights of all high elves.
Then she was thrown into a magical prison by the angry Sun King and Silvermoon City councilors.
"Aren't you ignoring the interests of the people? Then let your crimes be judged by the people."
Sora didn't understand, what had he done wrong?
You shouldn't have done anything at all, so why should you be judged?
Isn’t it sinful just to think about it?
Fortunately, she was given the right to defend herself at the public trial.
However, her impassioned and emotional voice seemed to everyone in the audience to be nothing more than a comedy that was not exciting.
In the end, there was insufficient evidence for Sola's crime of conspiracy to commit a coup, and he was found guilty of obstructing public order.
The penalty is imprisonment for a hundred years.
With the joint efforts of his family and teachers, the Sun King pardoned Sora.
But hatred and anger inevitably grew crazily, especially when Sora learned that in the previous trial meeting, it only cost one gold coin and thirty-five silver coins to vote for his guilt.
Don’t you have insufficient evidence?
I'll do it for you!
Sora wandered around the city and countryside, lamenting the inaction of the nobles and calling on the people of Quel'Thalas to unite for their own rights.
The final result was that it was blocked by the law breakers.
"Look at yourself, a great magister, a high-ranking priest, and a ranger. You are born on the aristocratic side, but you persuade a group of beneficiaries to start a revolution. Who will believe you?"
Betrayed.
Sora was betrayed by the very person she was trying to help.
The punishment this time was not clear whether it was light or heavy. Sora was exiled and was never allowed to set foot in Quel'Thalas.
"A girl who is over three hundred years old is still so extreme in her ideas. Without the Sun King and the Sunstrider Court, how can we unite the Quel'dorei."
Alleria couldn't help but shake her head after hearing the words that the people were not worth saving.
She is obsessed with Sora only because Sora is indeed a slightly talented person among the high elves.
But Sola had been unwilling to talk to her before, so Alleria didn't expect that Sola would be so extreme after being exiled.
"Yes, the high elves do need a king, and I think I am qualified."
Sora raised his head proudly.
"Do you want to be the queen of Silvermoon City?"
Alleria asked in a funny tone.
"No, I want to be the queen of all Quel'dorei elves."
Sora calmed down his serious expression and answered.
"Are you sure you can do better than the Sun King?"
Alleria asked rhetorically.
"Yes, at least I can confirm that the Alliance is the future of Quel'Thalas. Times have changed, and seclusion is tantamount to seeking death. Magic cannot save the high elves."
After Sora finished, he ignored Alleria, ended the conversation forcefully, and continued his hunting.
No one else would know that in this primeval forest, two high elves had such a conversation.
