Chapter 201 News from Outer Lands
"Kalecgos doesn't need your help!" Jaina sensed the magic emanating from the blue dragon emissary; its power was dazzling, even in Dalaran...
In the magical crystal image of Violet Castle, the magical fluctuations in the sewers are extremely obvious...
The Violet Eye enforcers on guard duty all wore grim expressions. The sewers contained not only escaped prisoners, but also spies...
They saw Jaina's signal, but at this point they couldn't tell which node inside Dalaran was occupied by enemies or allies.
Khadgar pondered for a moment, then asked his assistant scribe, "Where is the Alliance's envoy now?"
A male civilian official on the left immediately responded: "General Marcus and the bishops of the Church of Holy Light have been led to the square. They are communicating with the Thunderpike Expeditionary Force. The misunderstanding should be cleared up!"
Just as she finished speaking, the female elf on the right reported, "Countess Liadrin from Silvermoon City has arrived. She has brought a Blood Knight and specifically requested to see the Naaru's emissary... She brings bad news... The Sunwell's avatar has been stolen..."
The Sunreaver, Aethas, was furious upon hearing this: "What? What did you say?"
"The specifics will likely have to wait for the Earl to explain in person; we've simply invited her to rest at the Sunreaver Temple..."
Khadgar nodded: "Alright. Silvermoon City would be best if they could help... Aethas, you go and talk to Sylvanas now. We don't welcome uninvited guests here... This is provocation... We've already declared neutrality! Before the Kirin Tor really loses their temper, I hope our previous discussions about the high elves returning to Dalaran... and about the Horde mages' visit you mentioned, don't let this misunderstanding turn into a joke!"
Khadgar looked at the scene of artillery fire and magic clashing overhead, and sneered: "If this can be considered a misunderstanding, then someone has to explain it clearly... The Alliance is no exception! Tell them to register at the visitor center, and if they dare to force their way in again, they'll all be treated the same at the Tower of Souls!"
As he spoke, he angrily turned to look at the archmage Anslem, who seemed to thrive on chaos...
The latter pretended not to hear his warning.
Mordra shook her head. "I'll go talk to our Lady of the City... Hopefully, Dalaran won't repeat the same mistake before she and her sister make a move. Acting Speaker, please remain calm!"
Having said that, the two High Chancellors of the Kirin Tor exchanged a silent glance, then nodded in unison. Aethas the Sunreaver and Mordra then teleported away, leaving only Khadgar and Ansrem to guard the Mage Tower...
Khadgar, with his graying hair, watched Ansrem gloating...
He chuckled softly, "What I did, though full of unexpected events, has allowed Dalaran to take off successfully! The world already knows what I said; Dalaran has declared neutrality. The guests from the Alliance and the Horde who I saw arrived uninvited; they are here to offer a congratulatory gift for Dalaran's future!"
"And you, my Master Ansrem & Ruinvivor! You keep claiming to be doing this for mortals, for humanity, for Lordaeron... yet you've caused so many vibrant lives to perish, so many meaningless battles and horrific deaths. You must take responsibility for your actions... If human arrogance originates from elves, then your arrogance is more repulsive than that damned rotting slime!"
Ansrem was shocked, his face turning red:
“Acting Speaker, I hope you will show some courtesy to the newly elected democratic representatives of the Kirin Tor, the academic elites of the traditional arcane school of the Human Alliance… Your words are extremely rude! You are slandering me! I have the right to initiate an impeachment vote in the Kirin Tor Council… You… are defaming and bullying my Protection School?”
In front of so many citizens of Dalaran, being accused and rebuked, Ansrem, who was always very concerned about his reputation, was losing face...
Khadgar ignored all of that, and his anger finally subsided considerably.
The current situation is inextricably linked to Ansrem. He hadn't cared before, but now that the situation is out of control, he feels the pressure! Originally, Dalaran was supposed to fly far away to the North Pole to recruit wise men from around the world to fight against the evil forces.
However, simple ideas are often thwarted by selfishness and the interests of small groups, causing Khadgar's desire to unite the elites of Azeroth and other major factions in battle to vanish...
It seems that those who are on your own side are always the most dangerous...
Right now, something seems to be going wrong in Silvermoon City... The Sunwell was built by the Blood Elf prince who defected to Illidan using the last remaining bottle of water from the Well of Eternity... Demon Hunter Illidan has usurped Outland, occupying the Black Temple, a former Draenei temple, and is preparing for war, training Death Hunters...
Kael'thas, accompanied by his loyal blood elf followers, joined forces with the Naga Queen to assist Illidan...
However, Kael'thas gradually discovered that Illidan, the former night elf mage, disciple of the demigod Cenarius, and younger brother of the archdruid Malfurion & Stormrage, did not seem to genuinely want to fight the Scourge army for power.
They wouldn't care about the future of a blood elf suffering from magic addiction...
Indeed, the Night Elves and High Elves were already distinct races, splitting into two factions from their initial exile: the Children of the Sun and the Children of the Night. One worshipped the sun, the other the moon. The Darkmoon Elves, protected by the moon goddess Elune, and their priestesses continued to safeguard the forests and nature, seeking peace, perpetuity, and immortality. The High Elves, however, were consumed by the pursuit of power, like a raging fire!
Different beliefs, different outcomes... or perhaps the blood elves have lost their faith.
Kael'thas, the last of the Blood Elf royal bloodline, not only couldn't defeat the once insignificant human Arthas... couldn't compete with Jaina... and couldn't fight against the army of the dead...
Now even Illidan, whom he has allied with, is no match for the Lich King...
He witnessed firsthand the arrival of Illidan's master, the third-in-command of the Burning Legion, the Deceiver Kil'jaeden! Illidan easily yielded... his mind had changed... it turned out that the source of Illidan's demon hunter power was the Burning Legion...
For the sake of the Sin'dorei, Kael'thas decisively switched sides, directly pledging allegiance to Illidan's master... and joining the Burning Legion...
Sure enough, he then gained a new source of power, captured one of the Naaru, and extracted his power. This revitalized the blood elves, who had lost their source of magic. He even seized the Naaru's spaceship and transformed it into the new Storm Fortress!
The prince once returned to Silvermoon City, but the Sunwell was no longer pure because Arthas had resurrected the great lich Kel'Thuzad... its remaining energy was extremely fragile... The prince was unable to restore the Sunwell, unable to save his people, and even attempted to abduct the Sunwell's avatar to escape. The people felt betrayed...
Prince Kael'thas has abandoned the traditional aspects of Silvermoon City... His vision has shifted... His ambitions have grown, for he has mastered the magic of draining others' energy!
Fel magic!
In Outland, the shattered world beyond the Dark Portal, the Blood Elf prince prepares to build a new elven empire on his own! He needs no one else, only the Sin'dorei...
After his failed assassination attempt on the Lich King, Illidan hid in the Black Temple to heal his wounds...
Khadgar and the Naaru of the Light in Shattrath City knew all this.
They are plotting to reclaim Outland one by one, drive out the Burning Legion... and now they have several lackeys, including the demon hunter Illidan, Lady Nagavashki, and Kael'thas & Sunstrider, the former princes of the Quel'Thalas High Elf Empire!
Khadgar did all this, summoning everyone to witness the Holy Light, also to gather more power... to fight against those who betrayed their people, such as the Lich King, Illidan, and Kael'thas...
Why is it always impossible to get what you want?
Khadgar, barely in his forties, already had graying hair, making him appear increasingly颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it conveys a sense of listlessness, apathy, and a lack of ambition).
He ignored Ansrem's grumbling and the strange expressions of the Kirin Tor battlemages around him... He gazed at the starry sky above, where there seemed to be two moons... He knew that beyond the stars, Turalyon and the warriors of the Light were fighting the demonic armies in Outland, or even further...
In contrast, in the mortal realm here, people are still fighting tooth and nail for their own interests and territory, even going so far as to involve Dalaran.
