Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 512 65. Come, let me tell you about the dark history of your great-grandfather

While Laike was looting air coins in the castle of the Council of Tirisfal, in the hall of Violet Castle, a banquet for the wizards of Narthalas was also going on.

The banquets of magicians have always been famous for their simplicity, and those who can become archmages are basically not people who indulge in pleasure.

Studying magic requires a pure and ascetic heart. In fact, if you look closely, Bo Laike also has this symptom now. Apart from being a drunkard, he can be called an ascetic in his private life.

I haven't had an affair with any girl so far.

Moreover, the colleagues that Dalaran entertained this time are a bit special. They are a group of elves who have been dead for 10,000 years, and naturally they can't talk about drinking and eating meat.

"We regret what happened at Amber Bluff Camp in the Northrend Borean Tundra."

Ms. Lanyue said to Archmage Antonidas beside her:

"That time, our Nazaras Academy had just come into contact with the changes in the world 10,000 years later, and the newly recruited group of warlock apprentices in the academy hadn't changed their slightly reckless style.

Thankfully there were no casualties.

Speaking of which, is that camp rebuilt now? The Kirin Tor's somewhat reckless pursuit of knowledge has compromised the privacy of the blue dragonflight, and we have done it wrong. "

"Well, we've abandoned camp at Amber Bluff."

Antonidas was a little embarrassed, he took a cup of tea to cover up, and said:

"Actually, that conflict wasn't a bad thing. If it wasn't for the entire Amber Cliff being secretly destroyed by blue dragons after your warlocks left, we still wouldn't be able to capture the true attitude of the blue dragons.

If we choose to go our own way, maybe it will lead to conflicts between human spellcasters and magic legions in the future, and that is really not worth the candle. "

"But why does Narsalas College have to set up a School of Warlocks?"

Another female archmage wearing a wizard's pointed hat beside Antonidas asked with some hesitation:

"To be honest, in the early days of Dalaran's establishment, there was a period of 'savage growth'. At that time, some spellcasters found some clues of warlock magic from ancient books.

They wantonly summon otherworldly demons.

But the characteristic of warlock magic is that every call will weaken the space system of the world. In those hundreds of years, the unfettered summons of mages made the space system near Dalaran very fragile.

Until a terrible disaster was triggered in the end, the whole of Dalaran was almost destroyed by a demon with a plague.

Since then, we have banned the research and study of warlock magic.

We can all understand the truth, as Wannian Academy, you who have experienced the battle of the ancients, it is impossible not to know. "

"That's an interesting question."

Faced with this question, Dean Lanyue explained calmly:

"I remember that at the end of the Elven Empire, there was a similar discussion in Queen Azshara's court, and I was fortunate enough to participate as a bystander.

At that time, the spell of summoning demons had just become popular in the empire, but people of insight had already foreseen the threat, and their discussion alarmed Queen Azshara, who convened a big debate about it.

At that time, the situation of the debate was tilted towards your decision, that is, to completely ban the research of warlock magic.

But my mentor, Maitri, argued hard in front of the queen.

He made a very interesting conclusion. My mentor said that demons are a special kind of life born in the twisting void. They are brutal and cold-blooded, and they are the enemy of all things.

Normally, we shouldn't actively introduce them into our world.

But the real problem is that demons also have their own organizations and forces. I think everyone present is familiar with the name Burning Legion.

My mentor believed that the world had already been noticed by the Legion when the first demons belonging to the Burning Legion were summoned to Azeroth.

Regardless of whether we want to ban the study of warlock magic or not, demons cannot give up their desire to destroy this world.

What happened later proved that my mentor's judgment was correct. "

Dean Lanyue stroked the holy staff of Aluneth in her hand, and she said to a group of human spellcasters with serious faces:

"Prohibition of warlock magic can certainly avoid the damage to the world space system caused by the frequent crossing of demons, but it also means that we voluntarily give up the most effective opportunity to understand the characteristics of the enemy.

Queen Azshara finally took my mentor's advice.

Of course, we all know now that the Queen had fallen into a cult of worshiping the God of Darkness at that time, and she became the biggest traitor in the world, and she was just following the trend.

But her decree did give birth to a group of spellcasters who knew a lot about demons. In the subsequent battle of the ancients, that group of demon researchers, including my mentor, provided precious knowledge to the anti-magic coalition .

In addition, I also learned from my own channels that the magic system of this era is all built from the magic materials left by my mentor, Your Excellency Maitri.

I am deeply honored by this.

But guys, you may be overlooking a fact.

That is, my mentor was not just an arcane spellcaster, although he had never used fel energy in his life, but he was well-versed in the field of shadow magic.

He could actually be considered a Warlock as well.

After all, in our time, the occupational distinction between spellcasters was not as clear as it is now.

The simplest example is that although Queen Azshara is famous for her arcane power, she is actually very proficient in elemental power and natural magic, and even has a lot of research on the voodoo curse inherited by trolls.

In our time, being 'all-rounder' is regarded as an honor to be admired. "

"Are you a disciple of Master Metri?"

After Dean Lanyue finished speaking, everyone on the Kirin Tor council of six was shocked.

The reason was just mentioned, because after the War of the Ancients, the Kaldorei elves completely banned arcane arts, which led to the near extinction of the glorious magic civilization of the Elf Empire.

The magic system 10,000 years later was based on the research of the scrolls left by the "Hermit" Metri by the pioneers of the Quel'dorei elves.

That is the grandfather.

And now a direct disciple of the patriarch, at least in terms of seniority, the mages of Dalaran are suddenly so low that they don't know where to go.

The mages who had intended to come up with a few difficult questions to embarrass the upper elves before were also discouraged.

They are all people who pay attention to inheritance, and they take this kind of thing very seriously.

"Narthalas Academy is a local magic academy established by my mentor when he lived in seclusion in Azsuna, and it slowly developed later."

Dean Lanyue was very satisfied with the current effect. She reached out and took a set of ancient magic scrolls from Deliana behind her, and handed them to Antonidas with both hands, saying:

"This is a research handbook left by my mentor. Although it is all about basic spell research, I think it has special meaning to you.

Consider it a gift from our visit. "

"This is too precious. Indeed, as you said, it is of great significance to all human spellcasters."

Antonidas twisted his beard, took the set of scrolls with a solemn face, and handed it to the archmage Mo Della beside him, telling the latter to put these cultural relic-level manuscripts into the large library.

This is not a polite remark.

Human magic is learned from the Quel'dorei elves, which is equivalent to changing hands, which makes human mages always feel short when facing elves.

Now that they also have the handwritten letter written by Master Metri, they can get rid of the shadow of the Quel'dorei elves, and proudly declare that they are also followers of Metri's magic truth.

Compared with the joyful talk on the human mage's side, the Quel'dorei elf's side was very uncomfortable.

Especially Prince Kael'thas.

"Oh, the descendants of Dath'Remar have surpassed him in fire magic. When your ancestors fought me in a magic duel, they couldn't use the magical fire magic of summoning a phoenix."

Prince Farondis sincerely admired Kael'thas' fire magic attainments, but it made Kael'thas very embarrassed. The handsome prince smiled strangely and said modestly:

"This magic is also the inspiration I found in the handbook of my ancestors"

"No, he wouldn't have that kind of inspiration."

Prince Farondis corrected seriously:

"Dath'Remar is a good magic swordsman, he is about my age, and we were very good friends when we worked together at Queen Azshara's court.

He's a very, very hardworking but inflexible spellcaster.

He is very good at government affairs, he is brave in battle, he is very commanding, and he comes from a noble family, but to be honest, he is far from as good as you in magic. "

"Please don't humiliate our first Sun King!"

The archmage Rommath behind the prince really couldn't listen to it. Even though he was a member of the parliament, he would seriously protest Farondis, saying:

"In our historical records, our Sun King was a very talented spellcaster, and it was he who established the inheritance of the Phoenix Mage."

"He just took over the establishment and training methods of Queen Azshara's magic guards."

Prince Farondis corrected again:

"I realized this problem when I saw the etiquette between you Phoenix mages just now. Dath'Rema is actually a very lazy guy in private. He just changed the name of the organization of the Queen's Guard.

And if I'm not mistaken, the title of the first lesson of the learning textbook for Phoenix Mage recruits should be called 'The Essence of the Three States of Flame and Combustion', right? "

The Enchanted Prince chuckled, and said:

"I know this set of textbooks very well, because I compiled it for her magic guards at the Queen's request. In addition, about your Silvermoon Council, Dath'Remar actually got inspiration from the Queen's Magic Council.

This is why he doesn't seem to have learned the essence of the empress controlling Wang Quan.

The development of the Silvermoon Council was too bloated, so that the organization serving Wang Quan has now affected Wang Quan in Quel'Thalas.

It's impossible to go on like this. "

Archmage Rommath wanted to refute, but Prince Farondis quoted the scriptures and was speechless, so he could only sit down with a blushing face.

Prince Kael'thas was even more embarrassed.

On this occasion, the upper elf in front of him has broken the essential contradiction between the parliamentarians and the royalists. Such a straightforward statement really makes people uncomfortable.

"Huh? The sword in your hand!"

Prince Farondis was very excited to see the descendant of his old friend today, and then he looked at an elf warrior in silver armor behind Kael'thas.

Pointing to the elegant and powerful two-handed sword on the warrior's back, he said:

"Is that supposed to be Quill Della, the Ancient Dragonforged Blade?

It was an accidental gift from the Red Dragon Queen that Dath'Remar received during an adventure some time before the War of the Ancients. He once wanted to gift me Quel'Sera, the other of the sister swords.

But I am a spellcaster, and it is inconvenient to accept such a warrior's weapon.

He gave the other sword to another friend Sim Della, but unfortunately, I heard, that sword was destroyed in the War of the Ancients.

Come, show me this old friend's weapon. "

Thalorian Dawnseeker, holding the Dragonforged Blade, glanced at Prince Kael'thas, who nodded. The legendary warrior, rare among the elves, pulled out the elegant Quell Della behind him, and handed it to Prince Farondis.

The latter took it in his hand and gently stroked the sword. Under the astonished gaze of the Quel'dorei elves, several runes on the sword were activated one by one.

The next moment, the sword let out bursts of dragon roars in Farondis' hands.

"Great, it still remembers me."

Prince Farondis laughed, returned the re-imbued Dragonforged Blade to Thalorian, looked at Kael'thas again, and asked:

"Little friend, let me ask you, have you ever touched the magic sword of Dath'Rema?"

"The Flame Strike is now in my father's hands, it is the symbol of Wang Quan."

Kael'thas replied politely.

Prince Farondis shrugged and said:

"I haven't met your father, but I think that you are the destined master of that sword, and it will definitely radiate new power in your hands. Come, let me tell you the secret of that sword.

This is a secret that only Dath'Remar and I know.

That sword is not a treasure naturally born in the flames as he claimed, and it is not a symbol of Wang Quan. Its original origin is actually just a nap of your ancestors in a certain afternoon.

He dreamed of the sword in a strange dream, and that's when the Flamestrike was forged by the best magic craftsmen under the Queen's command.

Dath'Remar, when he was young, he really had a character that was difficult to reassure.

I once made an appointment with him to set foot on the battlefield, but unfortunately, I made a mistake. Before he fought bloody battles for this world and established his own kingdom, I had already died early.

Little Kael'thas, please take my words to your ancestor's tomb, tell him my guilt, tell him I'm sorry.

When he needed it most, I couldn't help even a little bit. "

"You can go in person, Your Excellency Farondis."

Prince Kael'thas felt the sadness of the "old man" in front of him, and he said softly:

"Since Quel'Thalas is the country established by your friends, we descendants will never refuse your arrival. You will definitely become the most honored guest of the Sunstrider family."

"No."

Prince Farondis smiled, patted Kael'thas on the shoulder, and said:

"Dath'Remar saved his people, he did great things, and I, I have my people to save, and I don't want to lose to my old friend.

In addition, little Kael'thas. "

The magic prince looked at the elf prince in front of him, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, and said softly:

"If in the future, you find yourself with desperate problems that cannot be solved, please remember that Nathalas College and I will always be your Quel'dorei's most steadfast backing.

You are a very good boy.

I have also heard your story, you are simply a perfect prince out of a fairy tale, shouldering the expectations of the kingdom and the people. Dath'Remar valiantly protected his people, but it also left some difficult questions.

None of the Sun Kings could solve it, but maybe you can find a solution to that problem.

Don't hesitate to ask for help when you need it.

May you go on with your head high and your chest high, and let my old friend Dath'Rema be proud of you. "
