Happiness is not created, but contrasted.
If there were only humans on this small broken ball of Azeroth, Carlos's life would be a life of struggle. The fortune teller told his father when he was born that this baby has a special destiny. , is a born rebel.
If there was only the Alliance on this small broken ball of Azeroth, Carlos's life would be a tragic one. The Burning Legion would be unscrupulous, and everyone would survive and die together as a team. A man would be born in the world to kill demons with a knife. , Notes: Fighting with Tiandou, fighting with Long, and fighting with the old father-in-law in a battle of wits and courage.
If the small broken ball of Azeroth consists of only the Alliance and the Horde, Carlos's life will be a fulfilling life. He will devote his life to the greatest cause and realize the same world, one dream and one belief for the entire planet. The lofty ideals were dedicated to death.
However, Azeroth, a small broken ball, has a lot of everything except serious people, especially World of Warcraft, so it is also called World of Warcraft.
The joys and sorrows between leaders are not the same. Those who are happy have their own gains, but those who are sad cannot escape too much.
Grand Magister Elisandro's questioning was nothing more than using the home field advantage to put diplomatic pressure on Carlos.
There are so many people talking at the welcome banquet. There is no place to talk about business. Under the main theme of peace and friendship, Elisandro is just relying on the tone of "all nations come to court" to consolidate his authority. Otherwise, how could he let go? Jarod Shadowsong and his little follower Dandemar came in.
Carlos has been in the political arena for more than a day or two, so naturally he will not be careless and unable to understand the atmosphere.
"I have returned for the friendship between the Alliance and the Children of the Night. I have brought prosperity and prosperity, trade and exchanges. I would like to pay a toast to the distinguished Master Elisandro, and you will drink with me!"
The Enterprise is back on board. Carlos came to Suramar by sea ship last time. There was a martial arts competition at the banquet. The Nightborne respected human strength and recognized Carlos's personal strength. This time, the Sky Battleship faced off, and the Children of the Night finally acknowledged the fact that the Alliance was a behemoth. They respected the identity of the Alliance's Grand Marshal, and were in awe of the power behind this identity.
So Carlos's less than enthusiastic voice still received a response.
It doesn’t matter if you can’t hear clearly what the distinguished guest said, just raise your glass and that’s it.
What's this called?
Suramar hears your voice!
Just by observing something as small as toasting and drinking together at the banquet, Carlos could be sure that Elisandro was having a hard time.
It's interesting, it's really interesting. Internal fighting is the tradition of intelligent life. If you don't like it, just die. It doesn't matter if you don't play.
The Alliance is fighting among themselves, excluding the night elves whose contact is not deep enough. Not to mention the internal fighting among humans, it has never stopped. Just one chapter since Emperor Thoradin founded the human empire, this book has more than 800 chapters. The pages of the book were read carefully under the candlelight, and the words between the lines were full of the word "cannibalism"; the dwarves fought among themselves. When Anvilmar was alive, the dwarves could still lick their faces and say that there was no internal struggle, only competition, which was benign and controllable. Anvilmar After his death, the War of the Three Hammers directly shattered the warmth among the dwarves; the dwarves were also fighting among themselves, not only fighting among themselves but also becoming involved in each other. Otherwise, there is no way to explain the root cause of Gnomeregan's fall; Is that called internal fighting among the high elves? It's called moving from one internal fight to another. Don't forget why Dath'Remar. Sunstrider and his allies wandered in the Endless Sea for hundreds of years before finding their way to the east. The kingdom has found a place where it can thrive, let alone why Quel'Thalas is so weak that it cannot even withstand the undead Scourge's attack on Silvermoon City.
Well, if you just look within the alliance, it seems that humans, dwarves, dwarves, and high elves are all in ruins.
But with a wider perspective, it seems that races with a higher level of civilization and social structures all have the same virtues.
Trolls, the ancestors of internal strife, are the strongest backdrop in Azeroth. They eat, sleep, and fight trolls. We don’t even mention the troubles between the two great empires of Amani and Gurubashi. Let’s break it down a little more. In the capital, beheading is light, and the blood sacrifice is called hand gesture.
Bug people, maybe the earliest Yaqir bug people once had the highest will of the "Master Brain", but look at the three Zerg tribes that have evolved independently in the south and the north and have never interacted with each other. Easy to say.
The Nightborne are also a legacy of the Kaldorei Empire, so how can they escape the curse of racial infighting.
Elisandre's personal status is stable. She is not only the most powerful among the Nightborne, but also represents the fundamental interests of the majority of Shal'dorei elves and is universally supported.
But Elisandre's dominance is unstable, because before the catastrophe 10,000 years ago, she was only a powerful upper elf mage living in Suramar, not Queen Azshara herself. The title of "Prince".
Today's night elves rely on the blessing of immortality imposed on the world tree Nordrassil by the dragon kings to obtain the racial trait of "immortality" in disguise.
But in the Kaldorei Empire back then, the high elves only had to visit Her Majesty the Queen once every one hundred and eighty years, and experiencing the brilliance of the Well of Eternity would have the same effect.
The "princes" during the Kaldorei Empire are not comparable to the princes of the Human Empire. They are all the godsons of Queen Azshara!
The noble title of Prince corresponds to the status of the "Mother" of Azshara, the Light of Light.
Just like Ravensky Black Crow, he is actually a bandit.
Ravensky is a very powerful family in the Kaldorei Empire, but they can't deal with Prime Minister Xavius, and they haven't caught up with the good era of fighting trolls, so they are somewhat unable to achieve high or low results.
However, when Kutalos Ravensky became the master of the family, things turned around for the Ravensky family.
Ku'taros was appointed Lord of Black Crow Keep by Queen Azshara.
The significance of this canonization is extraordinary, because Black Crow Keep is the fortress that protects Zin Azshara.
Carlos listened to Elisandro and Jarod's words and recalled the past, and he roughly understood how powerful the Kaldorei Empire was back then.
Zin Azshara, the most glorious capital of the great Kaldorei Empire, is a twin city. It is an ever-expanding super-large noble habitat with the Queen's Palace built around the Well of Eternity, all the way east from Ashenvale. Arriving at the outskirts of Azshara and carefully observing the remaining arc-shaped land base after the explosion of the Well of Eternity, one can estimate how large a city Azshara was back then.
However, Azshara's glory is mainly due to the Well of Eternity and Queen Azshara. Simply talking about prosperity, Azshara is not even a bit worse than its sister city Suramar.
After all, cities have different functional orientations.
Azshara is the private residence of the upper elf dignitaries, while Suramar is an economic and cultural center full of life.
The city of Suramar now occupied by the Children of the Night is only a small part of the city of Suramar back then. It is the palace of Queen Azshara. It was by relying on the powerful magic barrier of the palace that the ancestors of the Children of the Night survived the cataclysm that shattered the earth.
Hearing this, Carlos was a little stunned. The current Suramar City is only the queen's palace and the nearby residential areas. The current Suramar area is only a small part of the former Suramar City. The current Broken Islands are large. Part of the island itself is the remaining area of the broken cities of Azshara and Suramar.
Today's Azsuna is the academy district of Suramar City, and today's Val'sharah is part of the temple district of Suramar City.
To the north of Zin Azshara is a tall mountain range extending from Mount Hyjal. The remaining part is now the Highmountain. To the southeast is another arc-shaped mountain range, surrounding Azshara and Suramar.
Black Crow Castle is a military stronghold guarding the only land route to the west of the capital of the Kaldorei Empire.
Because Kutalos Ravensky was canonized as Lord of Black Crow Castle, according to convention, people can call him Kutalos Black Crow.
But this Ravensky, at best, is said to have worked hard to repay the kindness of the emperor. At worst, it is nepotism. He gave all important positions in the defense of Black Crow Castle to his own family members, so he was ridiculed as Ravensky. .Black Crow.
But Carlos still felt that this was too exaggerated. It would be useless to add the Beijing, Tianjin, and Tang Dynasties in his memory. The city of Suramar mentioned by these ten thousand-year-old monsters was huge in area, and its magical architecture was really terrifying. Sri Lanka.
Listening to stories and drinking wine, the banquet was full of fun. Carlos was going to find an opportunity to talk to Elisandro about the portal in private. It was obvious that Jarod and Dandema had the same plan, and no one was ready to talk about business. How could something unhappy happen at the banquet?
There is only one answer.
An unexpected guest has arrived.
Azeroth If the Demon Hunter's true vision is considered the No. 1 enemy-finding skill, then the Paladin's Holy Light Sense has the potential to compete for second place.
Carlos smelled the devil.
Alleria had been sitting where Carlos started, watching the fun and listening to the jokes, acting relaxed and content.
No way, when your relatives, friends and even your husband and son think you are sick, it is useless to say anything.
Alleria defended herself, saying that she was just a little emotional, but had actually calmed down after sleeping. She could and should stand up and do something for Elre'Thalas and the Alliance.
Carlos had only one thing to say about this.
Really? I don’t believe it.
Leaving Alleria in Lordaeron is like sitting on a powder keg and smoking. Liras is already a death knight. Regardless of whether he has escaped the control of the Lich King or not, it will be embarrassing for the Alliance's position, including Alleria. The position has also become elusive.
So it would be better to take Alleria out to sea, and it would not be too late for the Alliance spies and the Scourge boys to send in their investigation results and solve the problem.
After all, they were comrades who lived and died together back then. Carlos frowned and Ovelia understood that something was going on. As soon as they made eye contact, Alleria stood up and seemed to want to toast Jarod Shadow Song.
Using Alleria's body to block Carlos from lip-texting a word to Elisandro, the Archmage frowned and nodded.
So Carlos picked up the wine glass again and suggested that everyone toast Jarod Shadowsong.
When everyone raised their glasses, Carlos launched the Holy Storm without warning.
Although the strong light and shadow effects frightened the children of the night, the baptism of holy light that strengthened their bodies calmed everyone's nerves.
Except those possessed by the Dread Lord.
In agony, the Dreadlord escaped from the rift in the possessor's mind.
I don’t know whether the trick of transforming into a demon king scared the Night Child, but it shocked Chromie who was using his super psychological invisibility to eat and drink.
Elisandro scolded "Silence", then cast a powerful time spell to confine the open-air banquet venue, and pulled back the Dread Lord who had turned into a swarm of shadow bats and escaped.
Chromie was stunned at first, then suddenly overjoyed. When he got close to the balcony, he jumped over the railing with one arm and escaped.
Why single arm?
Because Chromie was holding a bunch of grapes in his other hand.
