Tales of the Highborne

Darkness falls, the silver moon rises in the sky, and the world of night elves wakes up. The devout temple priestess began to pray, and the merchants also began to do business. The night elves civilians lived their ordinary lives and did not feel that tonight was any different from other nights.

But for some elves, small worries are about to invade their lives. There will also be small deviations in their daily life routines and concepts.

An elderly moon guard with long silver hair flowing behind his back. Although he is the oldest among the guards, his skills are still as good as before, so he still holds a high position. Casting spells and chanting spells is a part of his life, just like breathing, it is a natural thing to do without thinking about it. A cracking sound startled him from his seat, and he almost crushed the parchment in his hand. It turned out that a glass bottle suddenly fell to the ground. Wine and glass spilled onto the orange, jewel-encrusted rug he had recently purchased.

The old mage hissed angrily, looked at the fragments heartbrokenly and snapped his fingers. The shards of glass rose into the air, and the drink coalesced itself into the shape of the vessel that had just held it. The glass began to form around the drink, but a second later everything was spilled onto the carpet again, worse than before. 9,

Looking at this, the old mage couldn't help but frowned and snapped his fingers again.

This time, the glass and the wine moved exactly as he expected, without even the slightest misalignment. However, the objects were a bit of a grind, taking far longer than the Moon Guardians expected.

The old night elf turned back to his parchment, trying to focus his attention again on what was about to happen. But his eyes kept drifting to the bottle behind him and the wine in the bottle. He pointed at the bottle again, frowned, retracted his finger, and turned his chair away in frustration.

Yueying was meditating in his secret room at this time. Suddenly he opened his eyes suddenly and cold sweat broke out on his face. The energy of the Well of Eternity suddenly disappeared, and before that he heard a roar of consciousness from the Well of Eternity. Although he had received the news that the energy of the Well of Eternity would be cut off, the sudden shutdown of the energy of the Well of Eternity still made him very uncomfortable. In thousands of years, he has never tried without the Well of Eternity.

In a large city some distance from Aissalin's well, the mage began a nightly ritual of rearranging emeralds and crystals to delineate its borders. Under mutual instigation, there was movement between crystals, just like resisting ordinary magic attacks. To anyone's memory they have never been used, but the elves still find great comfort in their presence.

Although there are hundreds of crystals, arranging them is not particularly troublesome. All power comes directly from the Well of Eternity, so the mage does not need to use stars to adjust the line of power from one end to the other. In fact, at most, this requires simply twisting the crystals high up and placing obsidian on the highest place. In this way, local spellcasters can complete several steps in just a few minutes.

But as more than half of the crystals were placed, the crystals began to become dim, or even completely dark. Although the mages of Galhalla are not as proficient in magic as the moon guards and upper elves, they also know very well that what is happening now is unreasonable. They immediately began checking the alignment again and again, but found no problem.

"They are not effectively draining magic from the Well of Eternity," asserted a young mage. "Something is trying to cut them off energetically."

But as soon as he said this, the crystals resumed their normal activity. His older companions looked at him blankly.

The life of the night elves goes on

At the edge of each major settlement, heavily armed guards patrol back and forth to protect the night elves from any enemies. Ravencrest and his men always looked beyond the main borders of the kingdom, believing that dwarves and other races coveted the rich night elf territory. But what happened to Aissalin quickly made him nervous, and news came from his subordinates that Aissalin fell into darkness.

Three days later, Cortalus Ravencrest, the owner of Black Crow Castle, sent a letter calling on all the lords to raise troops to serve the king. He is the law enforcer of the night elves and has always been known for his fairness.

Yueying frowned slightly as she read the letter sent by Ravencrest, and An Qi couldn't help but curiously asked: "What does the letter say about the master?"

"Ravencrest said that the devil is attacking Aissalin and called on all the lords to gather in Suramar City to discuss how to attack Assaleen and rescue the mentor. He believes that Xavius ​​and the upper elves imprisoned the queen." Yueying put the letter back on the table, frowned and shook her head.

"Master, do you think the Queen is really imprisoned or controlled?" An Qi looked at Yueying and asked involuntarily. As soon as An Qi said this, everyone in the room immediately looked at Yueying, expecting his answer.

"The mentor is the most powerful magician among the elves." Yueying frowned and sounded helpless.

&n

bsp; "You mean the queen is not controlled?" Malfurion looked at Yueying. Although he also believed that the queen could not be easily controlled, as the queen's only disciple, Yueying's words were still very crucial.

"No, I just said that no one among the elves can do it, but as for the devil..." Yueying shook his head. The sword spirit Yue Yin introduced him to the horror of the Burning Legion, and he is still There is lingering fear in my heart.

"Although I don't know how powerful your queen is." Brox paused and said slowly: "But the Burning Legion is definitely more terrifying than you imagine. Convincing people's hearts and controlling people's thoughts are what they are best at. "Ronin also nodded. The scene of Dalaran being destroyed by Archimonde in an instant was still vivid in his mind. The leader of the Kirin Tor, the great archmage Antonidas, died in that battle.

Everyone was silent, obviously frustrated by Brooks' words.

"No matter what, we must go to Azshara to fight this battle, not only for my mentor Queen Azshara, but also for all the elves on the Black Coast. Otherwise, we must wait until the demons have completely mastered it. Aissalin, if their armies are continuously sent over, our entire world will be destroyed." Yueying patted the table and said solemnly.

"However, we have all started to feel the energy of the Well of Eternity recently. As a mage, how should you fight?" Lisa looked at Yueying with worry in her eyes. The magic power of the Well of Eternity completely disappeared two days ago. After hundreds of years of serving Yueying, she has fallen in love with this land. She regards Yueying as a relative and her only support. She doesn't want anything to happen to her master.

"I have known about this for a long time. I still have some magic power in my body. Besides, don't forget that I am still a warrior." Yueying smiled slightly and told them not to worry. In fact, things were not as easy as he said. When the magic power of the Well of Eternity was completely cut off, he was in great pain. This pain was not physical but mental. He must turn on the "Mage Armor" all day long and carve a large number of energy runes on the magic robe to absorb the meager magic power in the air to make him feel better.

"When will we start dispatching troops for urgent training as the newly replenished troops have not yet arrived? If we send them directly to the battlefield..." Rocky couldn't help but ask.

"Ravencrest informed us to gather in Suramar City in one month." Yueying frowned, and he also felt that time was a little tight. But he estimated that this was the maximum deadline given by Ravencrest, after all, the situation was urgent.

"Yes, but they were all adventurers and hunters before serving in the army and have a lot of survival experience. I think they can still be put to use." Shizhi said slowly.

"I won't lead my soldiers to die. Let's leave a group of people in the city to defend the city and let the weak and inexperienced ones come down to protect the territory. How many high-level professionals will we fight?" Yueying touched her chin and considered After pausing for a moment, he asked.

"Only about one-third, most of them are veterans. Some of them participated in the Troll War with you at that time." Rocky replied calmly.

"I will take away 30,000 high-level professionals and give them the best weapons and equipment, and the rest will stay in the territory. We are not sure whether the devil only appears in Aissalin. We must have enough power to protect the territory. Blockade. The docks and all trade exchanges are fully prepared for war. I hope Elune will bless us." Moon Shadow said and shook his head. "I will set off tomorrow, Stonetoe will follow me. Rocky Lisa and Angel, you two can stay behind."

"But master, I want to go with you." An Qi pouted, and Shana immediately came over, hugged Yueying's arm and said coquettishly: "Take me with you too, teacher."

"You all should stop messing around. The mages can't fight without the energy of the Well of Eternity to support them. What's the use of you going?" Yueying said sternly, looking at Shana and An Qi. These two girls have always been like him. Like a sister, he loves her very much. Naturally, he doesn't want them to be harmed.

Lisa also touched the little heads of An Qi and Shana obnoxiously, signaling them not to mess around.

The bright full moon slowly rose over Felwood in the east. The outgoing legions knelt neatly in front of the Moon Temple, and sacred hymns rang out in the temple. This ancient ritual reminded Yueying of Aissalin when she went out to fight the trolls, and the civilians who saw her off met each other ten miles away. Maiev was also by his side at that time, but it was a pity that she would not be able to see her during this expedition. He doesn't know where she was transferred. He has been too busy these days and has never been able to find time to find out about it. I can only hope that Elune can keep her followers safe.

The expedition ceremony was finally over, and the neat troops began to march into Yueying City. All the soldiers were wearing neat dark blue shirts. The shirt is embroidered with mountains, coasts and a full moon. This kind of blue is like the deep and distant sky and sea on the Black Coast. In fact, the attention of this shirt came from Yue Yin, but it is true that this shirt can enhance the soldiers' sense of belonging and let them know who they are fighting for. Therefore, all the military equipment in Moon Shadow City are engraved with the logo of Dark Coast.
