Rise of the blood elves

481 [The wisdom of the guardian of historical truth]

The essence of teleportation magic is the replacement of oneself with the material at the target location.

Teleporters often find themselves traveling through a tunnel with magnificent and fantastic scenery. Endless space fragments come towards them and fly away. Before they have time to see the contents clearly, they have disappeared.

There have always been mages trying to understand the mystery of the "space tunnel", but no one has ever succeeded.Even if you exhaust the limits of the naked eye, you can't distinguish it within a ten thousandth of a second.

A scholar once speculated that the transmission process actually occurred in high-latitude space, or that the so-called space tunnel was a high-dimensional passage.

For the three creatures, using a four-dimensional tunnel to quickly reach another point in the three-dimensional space is like folding a piece of paper representing the two-dimensional space in half so that the two points are directly connected. Every fragment in the "space tunnel" is It may be a high-dimensional representation of matter between the starting location and the target location, with infinite details that cannot be received by the limited brain capacity of three-dimensional creatures, let alone interpreted.

This scholar advised subsequent mages not to try, because the only consequence of doing so would be a stress coma due to brain overload, thus cutting off information reception channels for self-protection.Everyone knows how terrible the consequences of being comatose in the space tunnel opened by the teleportation spell are.

But as we all know, mages are extremely rational, their rationality reaches freezing point, and their rationality is almost pathological.But once they encounter an unsolved problem, they are like a group of domestic cats who eat cat food every day and suddenly smell the smell of fish. Their eyes will light up, and they will even sacrifice their precious life in order to pursue the truth and explore the inner laws of the world. life.

There is a joke that those legendary mages who are unique in their respective fields and create brand-new magic theories are actually the lucky ones among the madmen.Except for being favored by the goddess of luck, no one can figure out why they didn't die in their own magic experiment that seemed extremely dangerous and crazy to outsiders.

There is a madman who does not believe in evil.

The "space tunnel" is extremely fragile and will collapse at the slightest disturbance.Nine out of ten teleportation accidents happen to poor mages. Before entering the tunnel, they either forget to remove the persistent spells on themselves, or forget to use an equal amount of magic energy to isolate the arcane disturbance emitted by the magic artifacts they carry with them.

These unlucky guys often turn into a ball of exploded minced meat in the end, or half of their bodies stay in place, and half of their bodies appear at the target location, or even the body and the material at the target location merge into one.

Before opening the transmission channel, this madman solidified the powerful True Eye Technique in his eyes. After entering the tunnel, when the tunnel was disturbed by the magic of the Powerful True Eye Technique and was on the verge of collapse, he used the powerful visualization technique to remove Ingesting the contents of fleeting space debris

If he hadn't been lucky, this madman would have died.He paid the price of being in a coma in bed for a month, suffering from a cerebellar disorder for three consecutive years and unable to even hold a spoon to eat, but the rewards were completely proportional to the price he paid.

Based on the experimental data obtained in the "Space Tunnel", he improved the group teleportation spell.The standard for casting this advanced skill has been lowered, making it possible for all elite-level mid-level mages to perform it, and he has single-handedly advanced the research on space spells among the tribes of the Eastern Continent.

This madman is the former leader of Dalaran, Antonidas, known as the "Master of Defensive Magic", whose level is unprecedented.Even the high elves, who have always been proud and taught the secrets of magic to humans, have to admit that at least in the fields of defensive magic and teleportation magic, Antonidas has completely surpassed human teachers.

It is also sad to say that at first, the high elf mages only went to Dalaran hoping to find a place far away from the chaotic political environment in the country and where the academic atmosphere was strong enough.Sharing magic, or engaging in magic popularization and education activities is only the next best thing.

However, as the relationship between the two parties continued to deepen, many high elves discovered that their former students were not only extremely intelligent, but also had a hint of talent that surpassed others. They could even occasionally feed back the magic system of Quel'Thalas in some specific fields, at least. Due to the healthy collision of ideas between the two parties, many high elf mages who had stayed in Dalaran came up with new and good ideas.

Those first-generation human mages who founded the city-state of Dalaran and were eager to reserve their ruling seats for the high elves in exchange for the high elves' generous support probably never imagined that such a day would come.

In short, although mages have long pioneered so-called space spells, and have used them to develop functional spells such as "storage expansion magic" and "teleportation magic" that have gradually become popular, they are still far from understanding its inner laws. There is a distance of one hundred and eighty thousand miles.

Space and time are always enduring topics in arcane research.

Unlike most mages whose body parts are broken down to the smallest level, Angmar travels through the transmission channel intact.Behind him, the blazing power of thunder and lightning stretched into a long line, and the surrounding scenery continued to fly backwards, but became extremely slow due to the cover of a layer of quicksand.

You can even clearly see a large tree stretched into noodles and a caravan of land spirits walking slowly past.

The strange thing is that the head of the leading land elf is at the twelve o'clock position, but the scarf around his neck is at Angmar's feet. This dark blue scarf is obviously woven by the Pandaren, but the thick threads that make up the scarf are located at Angmar's feet. One kilometer behind Ma is like a big snake covered with fine hairs. Every hair on the thick line and every dye point are presented in infinite detail, which is messy but not messy.

In complete contrast to the majestic scene, the tunnel was completely silent, without a single sound.

Angmar has long been accustomed to this, being surrounded by a deep sense of loneliness and filled with strange feelings.

He felt that the experience of traveling back and forth to the timeline several times had damaged his memory.

I often recall the day I met Tirion Fordring, the scene where I was chased endlessly by hundreds of weak resurrected people who can now be wiped out countless times with a snap of their fingers, and the scene with Lana Thel at the gate of Silvermoon City. Even in the scenes of long conversations, he felt as if he was from another world.

He couldn't remember how long he had been away from home.

Half a year

Still a year

Or simply "1 years" beyond the ordinary meaning of time

If it's the former, it's certainly nothing.For this little time, it only takes a blink of an eye.But in the yearning for returning home, every day seems to be as long as a year.

if the latter one

Angmar couldn't imagine it.

After a moment, the sense of traveling passed away, and he appeared in the middle of the Jinxiu Valley, where birds were singing, flowers were fragrant, and the scenery was golden.

During this period of time, he was so tired that he was exhausted both physically and mentally. Sometimes he would inevitably think about rambling things.

"I didn't expect that the War of the Ancients would come soon, and I would be able to return to the main timeline immediately. After all the problems were solved, I would build a small house on the beach south of Quel'Danas Island and fish every day. At least it will be stable for a while.”

Wait, did I set up a flag?

With this thought in his mind, Angmar laughed, took a deep breath, got rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind, and stepped forward.

According to the plan, the casting of the artifact will begin at the same time as Shaohao's final training.

If there were no Angmar, Shaohao would be in the same situation. Just like in the official history, he would sit quietly on the top of the mountain in the past few years, thinking hard about the way to salvation.But until the end of the War of the Ancients, the Earthshatters came, and when he successfully transformed into the mist to protect Pandaria, he failed to eliminate the last one, the most powerful of the seven evils, the Sha of Pride.

After Shaohao transforms into the mist, the secretly dormant Evil of Proud will cause the other six evil spirits to come back one after another, resurrect from the dead, and continue to poison this land like maggots on the tarsus.

Angmar gave hope to the four supreme gods who were distressed by this.Because the casting process of the artifact requires the absorption of the power of seven kinds of demons, the first six have been sealed, and the last one is the "evil of pride" that has not been eliminated by Shaohao.They believe that Angmar's plan will help Shaohao face and get rid of the last negative thoughts in his heart, and completely become one with this land.

In front of him was the surface part of an underground passage. Several Mogu guards with brand-new bodies and expressionless faces were waiting quietly in front of the thick stone door.

During this day, High Guardian Lai restarted some ancient facilities in the Valley of Eternal Blossoms, and used the Nalak'sha engine from the Mogu Mountain treasure house to re-create dozens of Mogu servants.Angmar thought that after experiencing the betrayal of Thor, Rai would no longer trust mogu, but he did not expect that the new batch of servants he created would still be mogu.

In addition to these mogu, there are many pandaren monks of the Jinyu Waterspeaker and Mistweaver lineage who are holding various instruments with purification functions around them.

The moment the seal on the Heart of Y'Shaarj is lifted, a large amount of shadow origin energy will flow out of the underground palace.They are responsible for the purification work after that.

"Prophet." The Mogu guard bowed and opened the stone door, revealing the underground passage diagonally downwards.

Angmar descended the stairs.

Magical flames bound within the lamps emit a soft glow that illuminates the passage.A few minutes later, he finally entered the underground palace, guarded by Norush, the first giant mogu creation, and sealed by the heart of Y'Shaarj.

A large number of ancient mogu servants who had awakened from their slumber were walking through the underground palace, inspecting the energy pipelines that had been in disrepair, weaving new protective spells, shaping new energy-conducting stances, and making final preparations for the plan of High-Level Guardian Lai .

"Master, the first layer of seals has been opened." Norush stood side by side with the high-level guardian Lai, with his back to the direction of Angmar and facing the square seal that had lost its magical protection in the center of the underground palace.

"Activate all defensive fields and open the second seal."

"Master, according to the program, I must remind you. Even if the Northern Energy Center has come back online and our energy reserves have returned to a total of 32%, once the second layer of seal is opened, the existing energy will still not be enough to maintain protection. The integrity of the position. It is speculated that the erupting shadow source will corrupt a radius of 15.9."

Norush said without any emotion.Angmar couldn't understand the unit of distance he was talking about.

"A unit of land away. I suggest restarting the remaining three energy storage centers to suppress the Shadow Burst. The total energy required to suppress the Shadow Burst is estimated to be 89. The time required to recover to 89 is estimated to be approximately 3915 revolutions of the planet Azeroth. "

Lai said without any hesitation: "Follow the order. I will restart the remaining three energy storage centers, but the energy has other uses."

The plan had been set for a long time, and Angmar knew that Lai would use the energy in the three facilities called the Twin Moon Palace, the Seven Star Palace, and the Terrace of Eternal Spring by the Mogu clan to ensure the smoothness of the artifact casting process.

"Yes. Start the seal removal process immediately. The source of Y'Shaarj will erupt in 5 minutes. Please be prepared for the corrosive impact."

Norush took the order and stretched out his hands to the square seal.Weird magic fluctuations spread, and the perfect square began to collapse inwards, and gradually a trace of the shadow aura of the Heart of Y'Shaarj filled the air.

Lai kept staring at the square with a solemn expression. It took him a long time to notice Angmar behind him, "Are you ready when you come?"

Angmar nodded, "Everything is ready. The four supreme gods have transferred the six evil demons and the remains of the God of Thunder to the Yongchun Terrace. What is missing is the heart of Y'Shaarj."

"Who would have thought that a mortal could actually incarnate into the will of this land? It's unimaginable, unimaginable," Lai Youyou said. She didn't know whether he was talking to himself or simply speaking out of emotion.

Angmar understood that Lai was referring to Shaohao.

Shaohao will eventually transform into the mist, and completely protect the "story" of Pandaria in the shocking catastrophe not long after, completely astonishing the high-level guardian.Not to mention him, even his colleagues couldn't do the same thing.

"Although we rely on the realm of life to survive, we are the embodiment of the power of natural life, but the origin in the body is extremely weak. But it is precisely because of this that we have the possibility to advance into other origin realms, understand and even control them. I think, high-level guardian , It is the imperfection of mortals that creates the infinite possibilities." Angmar replied softly.

Lai sighed: "If I hadn't witnessed all this, I would never have believed that mortals would one day become an indispensable force in this world. It seems that I have always underestimated you."

While the two were talking, the seal was being lifted.The Mogu servants channeled all their energy into a protective stance and raised barriers around the underground palace. Most of the remaining idle personnel evacuated the site under Norush's order.

Angmar thought for a while and suddenly said: "High Guardian, I have a request. If this matter is over and all worries have been eliminated, can you not show up immediately after you go to Uldaman?"

Lai turned his head, confusion evident in his words.

Angmar explained: "The earth spirits and mechanical gnomes there will fall into a deep sleep in thousands of years. Maybe your arrival will change their destiny. You know that they will eventually degenerate into dwarves and gnomes in their sleep, and My people live on the same land. I know this is too much to ask, but I hope that you can contact Azadas and Elonaya without the knowledge of the earth spirits and mecha gnomes, and persuade them to do what I have given them. The historical content you present generally behaves in a manner that at least appears to do so.”

According to canon history, as Azadas and Elonaya fell into a deep sleep, they no longer communicated with their followers.The earth spirits and mechanical gnomes will also lose their will to maintain the operation of Uldaman, and will fall asleep one after another as they realize that the curse of flesh and blood is getting worse.

Angmar is worried that Rai will change this history.

He doesn't know the process of change, maybe.The earth spirits and mechanical gnomes can cure themselves of the curse of flesh and blood with the help of Rai, and will no longer reincarnate as dwarves and gnomes in the next life.The Eastern Continent is missing these two races that played an important role in history. No, even if it is not important, the butterfly effect caused will inevitably rewrite the situation in the Eastern Continent, and then change the first and second wars, and even the third war, that is, the northern The specific story of the "natural disaster war" spoken by various tribes.At that time, when I return, I am afraid that what is waiting for me is a completely unfamiliar ethnic group without everything I am familiar with.

What's even more frightening is that the earth spirits and mechanical gnomes who woke up early or were not asleep at all found the Vrykul cursed with flesh and blood who were stationed in the north and guarded the Tomb of Tyr, the ancestors of mankind.If something happens to humanity again and it fails to emerge smoothly, the Kingdom of Arathor, which was formed by the alliance of major, medium and small tribes in 2800 of the Black Gate Calendar, will no longer exist. No one will help the high elves resist the army of the Amani trolls.

I'm afraid Quel'Thalas will completely disappear from history.The high elves will then become scattered individuals who are exterminated in the kingdom, wandering on the vast Azeroth.

"Are you afraid that I will rewrite this history?" Lai asked.

Angmar nodded deeply, "Please. This is very important to me."

Lai looked at him with some pity, "To be honest, you know that I will not remain indifferent. If you don't want me to change this history, why do you want to wake me up and let me continue to be depressed?"

After a pause, the high-level guardian said rationally: "You have to convince me, Angmar. You have your choice, and I have mine. You know, beings like me are mostly stubborn, and you and I need to reach a consensus. , I believe it is not difficult to innovate my cognition and values ​​with your vision."

After saying that, Lai knelt down on one knee, tried to close the distance between himself and Angmar, and assumed a posture of listening.To this day, he no longer looks down upon Angmar.Not only because Angmar in future generations will eventually become a figure leading the world, but also because Angmar today has an overall vision that even he cannot match.

But Angmar has no ideas.

"Guardian, I haven't figured out the root cause of this yet. I'm afraid my logic is untenable."

"Tell me."
