Rise of the blood elves

518【You are back 1 years ago (big chapter)】

Through the conversation between the two, Luo Ning finally remembered that Angmar had taken him and Krasus out of the forest yesterday.

With this in his mind, he couldn't help but wonder again. The person driving the black lightning through the sky was really Angmar.

The Angmar in his impression was not so powerful.

Luo Ning never thought that shadow could become one with lightning, so he subconsciously regarded the shadow aura surrounding lightning as some kind of shadow-like energy field. He just found it unbelievable that Angma controlled lightning.

In Dalaran's power cognitive framework, lightning can be classified in the field of wind element and is one of the four known basic elements.

In the hands of the mage, arcane energy can be woven into the four elements of "earth", "water", "fire" and "wind" through the weaving of evocation spells, using the blazing flames, the cold frost, the tenacity of the earth and the gentle breeze , and even imprisoned the water element through secret methods, turning it into a puppet to carry out its own will. From this, the school of plastic magic has derived a wide variety of branches, with more spells than all other magic schools combined.

But simulated elements do not mean equivalent elements.

The power of the elements is simply difficult to control.Compared with arcane energy, elements seem to have a certain degree of independent will. Unless they are recognized at a certain level, they cannot be controlled.

In the dozen years between the Second War and the Third War, the information collection work on the orcs in the shelter accurately proved this point.Research shows that in the long-lost tradition of the orcs, there is a group of specific people who gain the favor of the elements by being close to nature and complying with the laws, and then borrow their power. They are the elders of the orcs and are respectfully called "shamans".

At that time, the orc research work of Antonidas, the former leader of Dalaran, had not yet been published. In the eyes of the world, orcs were synonymous with savagery and vulgarity, and were basically equated with beasts with low IQs.Even the mages feel that it is impossible for orcs to control the power of the elements.

But later, people's perceptions were rewritten by a war that came and went away quickly.

In the 19th year of the Black Gate calendar, the Asylum War broke out. After regaining his new life, the former slave gladiator and current tribal chief "Thall" led his army to capture Durnholde Castle, the hub of the Asylum, liberated all the tribesmen, and then claimed The orcs had no intention of coming back and starting another war with humans, and finally crossed west.

In that final battle, Durnholde Castle was reduced to rubble overnight.

This is unbelievable, not to mention that Durnholde Castle is already well-defended. Even the dwarves' siege cannons can hardly penetrate the rock-solid city wall. What's even more frightening is that the orcs don't carry any weapons at all. A siege weapon capable of achieving this result

According to descriptions from surviving soldiers and nearby farmers, Durnholde Castle was destroyed in a shocking earthquake.When the earthquake occurred, dark clouds gathered and there was lightning in the sky.Through on-site investigation, Dalaran mages discovered a shocking fact.

The story about the "shaman" is true. "Thall" seems to be a shaman who can control the wrath of the elements in the long-lost tradition of the orcs.

The razed Durnholde Castle also made the mages, who had always stood at the commanding heights of the power system and stood proud among all living beings, discover their own powerlessness.

The destructive power of the elements is not only not inferior to arcane magic, it may even be slightly better.

Since then, no mage has ever believed that elements are inferior to arcane energy.Dalaran's research on elements is not only satisfied with the simulation of energy evocation. It has begun to launch multiple parallel research projects. On the one hand, it is to predict the enemy's plans and find the weaknesses of the magic used by potential enemies. On the other hand, it is also In order to explore the nature of the world and pursue the truth.

In the eyes of outsiders, Luo Ning's roughness makes him look less professional.

Some even believe that he only joined the Kirin Tor Council because there was no one available after the fall of Dalaran.But any mage who is exposed to the path of arcane magic can understand that Luo Ning deserves the honor.He is a truly legendary mage. Looking at the history of human arcana, there are only a few dozen people who have achieved such success.

As a legendary mage, during the flight yesterday, even if he was unconscious, Luo Ning could see at a glance how extraordinary the lightning controlled by Angmar was.

It is completely indistinguishable from elemental lightning, violent and blazing, but surprisingly emitting extreme arcane energy fluctuations.

how can that be

Luo Ning was completely confused. Could it be that this was the ultimate manifestation of the way of plastic simulation, so much so that it was enough to confuse a legendary mage with extraordinary vision like himself?

No matter what, Luo Ning knew one thing.

Angmar is no longer what it used to be.

There was a very unreal feeling in his heart.

Is this still the boy who has been with Prince Kael'thas all year round, spending time in the library every day, and who is often entrusted with heavy financial work by another of the prince's followers?

At this time, there was a rustling sound around him.

The female night elf who was treating him seemed to be packing her things and preparing to leave.While cleaning up, she said: "I have to go. Tomorrow, at this time, I will come again for follow-up treatment for them."

"The prophet must want to thank you in person. I will report to the prophet right away. Please wait a moment, priestess." said the female night elf standing by the door.

prophet

Ronin frowned.

After returning from the Broken Outland, he had long heard that Angmar played a vital role in the Battle of Mount Hyjal. He even used an artifact obtained from the blue dragon clan to defeat Zeng Zhi. Archimonde, who destroyed half of Dalaran, returned with this incredible heroic story, and there was also a lot of news about the "Prophet".

As far as he understood, the orcs, tauren, trolls and night elves, in short, the races on the continent of Kalimdor that had participated in the Battle of Mount Hyjal, all began to call Angmar the "Prophet".

Luo Ning couldn't understand why.

"Ah, don't disturb Angma. Isn't he giving a class? And I have something else to do. I have to go back to the Temple of the Moon to help deliver babies. Not long ago, a pregnant woman with dystocia came." In the blurred vision, the bed The female night elf next to her suddenly became embarrassed when she heard that the other party was going to call the prophet.

Okay, now I know, the prophet I just heard from is none other than Angmar.Luo Ning thought to himself.

"Well, thank you again for coming all the way, Ms. Maiev." The female night elf by the door said softly, her voice gentle and pleasant.

Maiev which Maiev

Maiev Shadowsong, the unsmiling leader of the Watch

Luo Ning couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and immediately felt that it was impossible.

Luo Ning remembered her.

After the truth of the Third War was revealed by Angmar, Ronin sent an envoy to Ashenvale on behalf of Dalaran, inviting the night elves to attend the summit of the races in Dalaran regarding the formation of a coalition.

He was met by Archdruid Malfurion Stormrage not long after he woke up. The other party seemed to have predicted the current situation. In short, the conversation went very smoothly.The Watcher Commander who came after hearing the news during the process left a deep impression on Luo Ning.

The first is the unique armor, holding the helmet in his arms, and the expression on his face is extremely cold and intimidating.But if that's all it is, it won't be "impressive".

What really made Luo Ning more interesting was the scene that happened next.

Dalaran was well aware that the relationship between the night elves and the high elves was complicated. In order to avoid a situation that no one wanted to see during the summit, they specifically asked Ronin to inform the other party in advance that the blood elves would also attend the summit.

When Ronin narrated the matter, claiming that the blood elf envoy would be fully responsible for the two advisors of His Highness Kael'thas, and after reading Rommath's name and then Angmar, the leader of the Watch did not know what happened. He crushed the cup in his hand and left the table angrily.

It was as if she held a grudge against the name.

If he hadn't known that Maiev was an old woman who had lived for 1 years, and Angmar was just a young boy from the Eastern Continent who had never traveled far, there would be no connection. Luo Ning would definitely think that Angmar This guy is so sorry.

Anyway, just because of this incident, Luo Ning had a very deep impression on Maiev.

However, Luoning didn't know much about Maiev's past. The female night elf who treated him was called a priestess. She had a gentle temperament, but she seemed to be far away from the watcher who wore armor and had a cold expression. He felt that , maybe it just happens to have the same name.

"Maev" finally stood up and walked out of the room, and the room became calm again.When Luo Ning blinked his eyes hard, trying to regain his senses, several more night elves came over. After feeding him a bitter potion, they used their soft and boneless hands to massage him.

Vereesa would be angry if she knew he allowed others to touch her.Luo Ning knew that his gentle and sensible wife would not be angry with him, but he would never do anything that might make his wife sad.

Just as he was about to think of a way to stop the other party, his thoughts were interrupted by the feeling of comfort coming from his body.

Holy light, this exquisite technique, this just right strength

Luo Ning had never experienced such service in his life. He felt like he was sitting on a cloud. Every cell in his body was moaning and the pain was being relieved. His muscles and bones were relaxed, and his whole body felt comfortable.

Drowsiness hit him again, and Luo Ning fell asleep again.

When he woke up, maybe it was due to the effect of the bitter potion that Luoning felt much better, at least his senses had recovered somewhat.

The bed was just the right amount of softness and hardness, perfectly fitting the curve of his spine.There was also a small pillow thoughtfully placed under the bent knees.

Luo Ning was not an ignorant person, but he had to say that this bed was [-] times more comfortable than any bed he had slept on in Dalaran, and he didn't know what the mattress was made of.

Taking a deep breath, he sat up from the bed.Carefully, he placed his weak palms in front of his eyes. After his eyes adapted to the light in the room, he began to carefully examine the surrounding environment.

This is an extremely simple cabin, but the furniture and small objects are contrary to its hard decoration style. They are all expensive things that are difficult to find in the outside world.

The bright moonlight spilled in through the window and illuminated the crystal medicine bottle on the table.Next to them were several open books written in foreign words that looked like Night Elf language.Next to it is an ink pen with a gemstone pen inserted in an ink bottle, and a notebook.

Luo Ning recognized the words on the notebook.It is the text of the high elves, and it is most likely written by Angmar.

Looking to the side, there are bookshelves filled with books.

Beside the door, several fiery red robes were hung on elegant clothes racks, exuding a magical aura that was very similar to Angmar.

"That kid is living a good life here, so did he give up his bedroom to me?" Luo Ning thought to himself.

Moving his eyes to the side, a pale face came into view, which almost scared Luo Ning out of his soul.

"Krasustian, you're scaring me to death," Luo Ning said, patting his chest. Only then did he realize that he had regained his ability to speak and his tongue was no longer tied.

It turned out that Crassus was on the bed next to him.

The youngest mate of the Red Dragon Queen, after transforming into a high elf, her skin color was lighter than that of most high elves.Since he was in coma, he has become extremely sick, and he is looking out the window with blank eyes.

Withered face, unfocused eyes, dark circles under the eyes that looked like they hadn’t slept in several days, and messy light-colored long hair.

Like a ghost

"You're awake," Krasus said weakly after coming back to his senses.

Luo Ning had never seen Krasus like this before and couldn't help but become worried and asked: "How do you feel?"

"I can't tell. After falling into the rift of time and space, I was clearly not injured, but I seemed to have lost some memory. I became more confused, confused, and weirdly weak than ever before. Can you understand this feeling?" Krasus He leaned heavily against the wall next to the bed, making a muffled sound.

Now Luo Ning was even more worried. He carefully propped himself up, moved to the bedside, crossed half a meter away from the ground, and sat on Krasus' bed, observing his mentor and friend from a close distance.

Krasus is a red dragon, and the red dragon is one of the most powerful creatures in Azeroth. If Krasus himself said so, it means that he really feels uncomfortable.

"It seems that the potion is very effective, and so are those night elf massages." Krasus pointed out.

Luo Ning blushed, but was still completely relieved.If Crassus still had time to joke, that meant it was nothing serious.He sneered and said: "You have seen it, don't tell Vereesa. How long did I sleep?"

"Not long, just an hour."

"Okay, I thought I slept all day again," Luo Ning sighed, and his expression immediately became serious, "What happened? I only remember that we were swallowed by a space-time rift, and then I passed out. By the way, how long have you been awake? Have you asked Angmar about the situation?"

"Only a few hours before you," Crassus shook his head, "If you ask me, I can't give you an answer. For a few hours, I have been thinking about the strange changes that have happened to me. I guess, that The time and space rift was intentional by Nozdormu. He sent us to different timelines, but I don’t know exactly what year we are at now."

"What?" Luo Ning took a breath, "How could this happen?"

It was supposed to be a favor to Krasus, but ended up running to other timelines.Luo Ning is a mage and knows what the timeline means. At least he also knows the mystery and mystery of the word "time".

The first thing he thought of was that Veresa was going to give birth in a few months, and he would probably not be able to accompany his wife when she was giving birth. If something happened to him and he couldn't go back, not only that, Wen Lei The adorable twins in Sa's belly will grow up without a father.

Luo Ning didn't dare to think about the worst.

These were the only things he thought of immediately.To him, Vereesa really meant too much.

After calming down, he suddenly thought of the different Angmar. He briefly told Crassus everything he saw during the flight, and then asked: "Is it the future? We are in the future." At a certain point in time, I happened to meet the growing Angmar."

Krasus thought for a while, then shook his head, "The possibility is very small. As far as I know, the timeline is full of uncertainty, and even Nozdormu can't send us to a future time that is easily destroyed. In the line we will only be in the past.

"Impossible." Luo Ning picked up the water cup on the low cabinet beside the bed and handed it to Krasus. It was not bad, the water in the cup was still warm. "How could Angmar be so young and exist in the past time? . Besides, he is far more powerful and mature than I know him. He will definitely be Angmar many years later, unless wait."

Luo Ning was suddenly stunned. Hearing this, Krasus was also stunned and couldn't help but look at each other.The two people who have a tacit understanding know that the other party has the same thought as themselves.

"Unless Angmar is also sent back by Nozdormu" Krasus asked.

Luo Ning blinked and nodded while thinking about the probability of such a thing happening.

Krasus looked up at the ceiling and said with a wry smile: "That makes sense. No wonder he disappeared for so long."

"Can you stand up and go out for a walk to find Angmar?" Ronin suggested.

"I'm not sure."

Having said that, the weak Krasus stood up with the help of Ronin.The two of you helped me, and I helped you, and walked to the window.

"Where is this?" After seeing the scene outside the window clearly, Luo Ning couldn't help but sigh.

The bright moonlight added a layer of whiteness to the wilderness.This is a small courtyard, with several magic puppets walking through it to take care of the flowers and plants; in the distance, a forest of towering ancient trees stretches to both ends of the horizon, endless as far as the eye can see.

"The trees in Ash Valley don't seem to be from the Eastern Continent." Luo Ning said uncertainly.

Looking at the scene outside the window, Crassus fell into confusion, "I seem to recognize this forest."

"Do you remember?" Ronin asked, but after asking several questions, Krasus didn't reply and became distracted again.

He could only continue to ponder his previous guesses.

With the tone in mind, Luo Ning is not a dull-minded person. He can easily use this as a benchmark to make further guesses: "What I care about now is how long Angmar has been here and what he has experienced. . God, you don’t know how strong he has become. I’m afraid even you can’t compare to him. But”

As he spoke, Luo Ning frowned again.

"As for the prophet, you know that after the Battle of Mount Hyjal, the races on the Kalimdor side began to call Angmar the prophet. Let's not discuss the story behind this title, just talk about the matter itself. We are at a point in time in the past, right, but I just heard clearly that the night elf who took care of us also called him a prophet. After all, he had done a different kind of feat, so that everyone in the main timeline invariably said It's still wrong to call him this. I seem to have entered a logical misunderstanding, which seems to involve the theory of time unity. If Dalaran's understanding of time is correct, then Angmar has changed history in the past, and it will also change history in the future. It will be affected. It seems to explain why the night elves admired him so much before he became famous. Krasus, we may have discovered something extraordinary."

Ronin said thoughtfully, and when he heard Krasus' cry of pain, he realized that while he was speaking, the red dragon, who had transformed into a high elf, had arched his body and covered his head in pain, as if he was suffering from a severe headache.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Ronin hurriedly shook Krasus's shoulder and asked anxiously.

"Don't," Crassus reluctantly replied, "don't mention that word. It seems to be related to my lost memory."

"That word" Luo Ning blinked and said in confusion, "prophet"

"uh"

Crassus immediately fell to the ground.

Luo Ning hurriedly went to help him, and after a long time, Krasus got slightly better.After feeding him some water, Luo Ning was about to help him back to bed when someone knocked on the door gently and then pushed the door open.

The two of them looked over at the same time.

"Angema, you're here. I have many questions to ask you." Facing Angma who walked into the hut, Ronin smiled bitterly.

Angmar did not reply immediately, but looked at Ronin and Krasus quietly for a while.

After staying in ancient times for a long time, I always feel that I am getting further and further away from home.When I met Brooks, after all, the two parties were not familiar with each other before. The joy of finally seeing an old acquaintance after being away from home for a long time was not that strong.

But the two people in front of him were different.

Ronin's wife is a high elf from Quel'Thalas. After the two got married, due to the special nature of this rare marriage and the fact that both parties were relatively well-known heroes in their respective tribes, and because they had rescued the red dragon, The Queen's experience, and her close relationship with the Wildhammer dwarves of Eyrie Mountain, led her to continue to serve as a diplomat until the Third War.

As the prince's advisor, Angmar often had various contacts with Ronin when he accompanied Prince Kael'thas to live in Dalaran.When he accompanied the prince to visit Krasus, who was also a member of the Kirin Tor Council of Six, he often saw this red dragon mage.

So when he saw these two people, he just felt extremely friendly.But in the kindness, there was also anxiety. I just wanted to hold the two of them and ask carefully, what happened to the blood elves after I "disappeared", what happened to Prince Kael'thas, what was the situation in the north, and the Northern Expedition of the Allied Forces. What stage has the preparations reached?

But Angmar understood that the doubts in the two people's hearts were only a lot more than his own.Before he even entered the room, he listened clearly to the doubtful conversation between the two.

"Master Ronin, Master Krasus," Angmar bowed sincerely to the two of them as he always did, "You are right, Nozdormu sent you to the past. Now is the ancient times."

Angmar took a deep breath and continued: "In terms of the Black Gate Calendar that became popular after the Third War, this is the year 10002 of the Black Gate Calendar. That war caused the ancient continent of Kalimdor to be torn apart. , the catastrophe that will divide into many lands in later generations, the ancient war, is about to come."

"You mean, we went back 1 years ago?" Luo Ning opened his mouth in disbelief.

He let go of his hand, and Krasus, who had an unbearable headache again after hearing the word "ancient", fell heavily to the ground.

Gudong.Rise of the Blood Elves
