Rise of the blood elves

523【Illidan's breakfast】

The deliciousness of food depends largely on the development of society and productivity.

With the surge in iron ore production, iron pots gradually became popular, making frying, frying, stewing, and stewing popular among ordinary people.In addition, spices are also a top priority. With condiments, food can be more delicious.

The so-called "pursuing the taste of the ingredients themselves" and "pursuing the original ecology" are nothing but the natural consequences of the development of productivity to a certain extent. When people have no worries about food and clothing, their taste buds are bombarded and destroyed by various synthetic condiments. It's just a state of mind...

To put it bluntly, he was spoiled.

If we really want them to go back to the era when cooking utensils were extremely monotonous, except for using heavy kitchen utensils made of easy-to-mine bronze to cook in plain water, or lighting a fire to barbecue, and they could only sprinkle some coarse salt and a little wild honey to taste, I’m afraid no one would willing.

As a huge empire that covers most of the ancient continent of Kalimdor, the Kaldorei Empire produces a wide variety of ingredients and spices, and has relatively frequent trade with surrounding ethnic groups.Coupled with the popularity of magic, eating exotic delicacies has become a piece of cake.

When it comes to the pursuit of enjoyment, the night elves in ancient times are as good as any race 1 years later, especially the aristocratic class known as the "high elves", and the thing that best reflects this is their diet.

In the small courtyard, the chefs transferred from the palace in the capital were cooking the finest ingredients shipped from all over the empire at all costs. The aroma lingered in the entire small courtyard, making people's food cravings.The maids came and went, placing delicacies on the table under Vashchi's command.

Breakfast is supposed to be the simplest meal among the three meals a day. Just from the care with which these servants treat this matter, we can see that the Queen attaches great importance to the prophet.

After Angmar led him into the hut and sat down, looking at the delicious food on the table and smelling the fragrant aroma, Illidan felt that his saliva was secreting rapidly, almost to the point where he had to swallow it.

The Temple of the Moon is open around the clock, and today happened to coincide with Tyrande's dusk shift. Before coming, Illidan went to bring her breakfast. In order to ensure that she arrived in the western suburbs at nightfall as promised, he rushed over without even having time to eat. Came here.

He was really hungry at this time, but he didn't want to make a fool of himself in front of the prophet, until his stomach growled unsatisfactorily.

"Eat quickly, don't be formal, I don't pay attention to any complicated etiquette." Angmar said with a smile, and took the lead directly.

Illidan blushed and started eating mechanically. Although he tried his best to maintain his demeanor, it was obvious that he was still very nervous.

No matter how glorious Illidan Stormrage's life will be in the future, at this time he is just a young man born into the common people of Suramar.Not to mention that he has never seen such delicious food, and has never been exposed to exquisite aristocratic etiquette, and even his cultural level is the same as that of the lowest common people.

Facing a legendary being like Angmar, tension is inevitable.

Breakfast was exquisite.

A plate of pan-fried cod. Cod is a sea fish from the western coastal areas of the empire. It is a common food in the western metropolis Ere'Thalas, which is run by the high elf noble Prince Tortheldrin.But for Suramar City, which is located in the Eastern Great Plains, it is a very rare and expensive food.

It’s not that the common people in Suramar have never eaten cod, but even though magic preservation technology has long been popularized, most of them have at best eaten dried salted fish that has been pickled with salt to ensure that it will not spoil after long-distance transportation. The raw materials It is still the most common type of low-value cod.

Two slices of fluffy bread-like pasta serve as a main.On their respective plates, there are also a few slices of fried eggs and salads made of several local vegetables.On hand are mead and seven or eight kinds of fruit juices.

Although the food was prepared by the palace chef and was very exquisite, it seemed that the word "rich" could not be combined with it.In fact, what truly demonstrates one's status is the dazzling array of bottles and jars containing expensive spices and condiments that are difficult to find in the outside world.

Although due to the development of magical civilization, spices are not as comparable to precious metals as they once were, but because the output is very rare, their prices are still beyond the reach of the civilian class.

Angmar took a bottle of spices similar to black pepper and sprinkled some into the fried fish.He picked up the knife and fork and started eating. The tableware used by the night elves was very different from the humans in the Eastern Continent.Although they are basically the same, with knives and forks mainly used, the shape of this so-called "fork" is very slender, almost like a small branch with three branches at the top.

I don’t know if this has anything to do with the cultural heritage of their ancestors.Maybe the original dark troll of the night elves used the twigs broken off the trees as tableware?

Speaking of which, the night elf historical community has deliberately avoided discussing this period of real history.

For no other reason.

Because in the eyes of the night elves, trolls are very savage and crude low-level creatures.Although the ancestors of the night elves are called dark trolls, the word "dark" is not a prefix that represents their different biological characteristics. It is just an expression of their living habits of living in isolation and liking darkness and evil light.

In ancient times, no night elf who called himself the "Children of the Stars" and considered himself extremely noble would want to equate himself with the trolls.

Looking at the history of Azeroth from an outsider's perspective is a completely different feeling than experiencing the history of a certain race summarized by themselves.Angmar loves to read the history books of different ethnic groups.

Human beings who have cut off the inheritance of Titan creations and regard their former ancestors the Vrykul as legends; high elves who are resentful of their former compatriots the night elves because of their exile, and regard their druidic ways as rigid dogma that has not changed from the past... all of them Angmar enjoys all the historical stories and it feels refreshing.

After returning to ancient times, he searched for a long time, but could not find the night elves' records about the dark troll period 5000 years ago.After making a request to Vashchi, the head maid found him several ancient books that were sealed in the palace library.

The contents recorded in the ancient books were not much different from what he had originally guessed.The evolution of dark trolls into night elves, including social and cultural changes, took place gradually over thousands of years.

In the year 16000 of the Black Gate Calendar, during the war between the Troll Zul Empire and the Yaqir, the Dark Trolls came to settle in the Well of Eternity.Affected by the magic power of the well, the lifespan of the troll was extended from a hundred years to hundreds of years.During this period, some unique dark trolls began to learn to use the magic in the well and use some crude magic.

The new generation of dark trolls born at the well have undergone certain changes in their physical features and life essence.Their connection with the well was deeper, their magical talents were stronger, they were more intelligent, and their lifespans were longer, some even lived for 700 years.

This involves an issue that has been debated by many history enthusiasts, that is, in the process of the evolution of dark trolls into night elves, they did not lose the growth cycle advantage that the troll family is proud of.Although life span has been greatly extended, the age of maturity has not been extended proportionally. The situation of "since life is long, it should take several hundred years to reach adulthood" will not happen at all.Those history buffs have overlooked the most obvious problem. The night elves evolved from trolls and the "pan-elf race" in common literary works are not creatures of the same background at all.

The second generation of dark trolls already possess some characteristics of night elves, and their lifespans are generally as long as 1000 years.By the third and fourth generations, as the influence of the magic in the well became more and more profound, newborns could basically be called early night elves, and their physical characteristics were not much different from today's night elves.

The dark trolls born near the Well of Eternity in the fifth generation have completely become night elves.In the Kaldorei Empire today, there are still many fifth generation people still alive.Sadly, they do not have the unique magical talents like the sixth-generation newborns. They have no status at all in the magic-based social environment that is gradually taking shape at this stage, and can only engage in the lowest level of manual labor.

"Your surname is Stormrage, right? I heard that you have a twin brother." Although he had known this for a long time, in order to eliminate Illidan's nervousness, Angmar still talked about everyday things.

"Well, his name is Malfurion." Illidan put down the tableware and replied very cautiously.

"Let's talk while eating," Angmar waved his hand to indicate that he didn't have to do this, and asked the maid to pour him a glass of juice. "Where are your parents?"
