Azeroth Shadow Trail - v2 Chapter 1758

   Chapter 1758 126. Magic Apprentice An Wei Na

  As soon as the Queen finished speaking, Lilith Moonshire immediately stood up with a noble etiquette. She leaned over to Queen Azshara very sincerely and said:

   “The Kingdom of Suramar is willing to return to the territory of the Empire. My Majesty, we are willing to hand over the power of appointment and dismissal of nobles in the Kingdom of Suramar to you, and you will designate and promote the young talents of the Empire.

   I also sincerely ask you to grant me and my sister’s fiancé an imperial title to bless our marriage. “

   “Very good, I see your sincerity, Shaldorei.”

The Queen    nodded with great satisfaction, handed out a list, and said:

   “Go and seek the guardians of the Tree of Arcandor, show my will to the Fal’dorei guards, and take the first thirty fruits allotted to you.

   This is distributed in proportion to the number of subjects in the kingdom. I don’t care how you will distribute it again after you get it, but you need to let the people know that this is a favor from the queen. “

   “As you order, Your Majesty.”

  Lilith took the list with Azshara’s mark on her face with joy, and the big astrologer beside her opened her mouth to speak, and Lilith immediately noticed the nervousness.

   She asked the queen for a formal high-ranking imperial title, which made Aetaus, who came from a humble background and had always been ashamed of it, also satisfied.

The Queen    then looked towards Quel’Thalas.

  The Sun King did not say any conditions. Today, he was very relaxed. After noticing Azshara’s gaze, the Sun King gracefully stood up, saluted the Queen, and said:

   “Your Majesty, I have passed the kingship of Quel’Thalas to my son, who will be crowned in the near future, and I hope that you will come forward and put the crown of the sun on my son.

   In addition, I, who have left office, hope to inherit the title of my ancestors in the empire and join your court to serve you. “

   “Well, it really surprised me, my courtier.”

   Azshara blinked and asked:

   “So, Anastarian, my courtier, will this be the new tradition of Quel’Thalas?”

   “Yes, Your Majesty.”

  The old king said tactfully:

   “Every Sun King will ask for your favor and join your court after leaving office. Like the shameless Shaldorei, we are also willing to hand over the appointment and dismissal of the nobles of the Kingdom of Quel’Thalas to your hands.

   This will strengthen the connection between the kingdom of Quel’Thalas and the Deep Sea Empire. “

   “Well, seemingly loyal but meaningless superficial obedience, yes, that’s exactly what I need.”

   Azshara nodded and handed the second sheet with his signature to Anastarian. The number of fruits on it was marked at ninety.

   is twice as much as Surama.

   This is also normal, Quel’Thalas has a lot more people than Suramar, and the distribution of this number is just right.

   This is almost half of the fruit that the tree of Arcandor can bear at one time. The queen only keeps a small part of her empire, which may also be a sincere foundation based on the establishment of the “Elf Federation”.

   “In order to ensure the health of the Arcandor tree and not cause pressure on the magic tree itself due to over-picking, the fruit distribution time is once a year.”

  Blake held the wine cup with the fruit soaked in it, and concluded like a veteran cadre:

   “The shelf life of this fruit is three months after picking it, and it will rot if not used properly, but I don’t think you will allow this to happen, right?

   In addition, you can keep half of the core, and the remaining half will be returned to Nar’Thalas College for use as magic materials.

  You can also try this tree planting with pits, if you can plant a new tree of Arcandor, I and Her Majesty the Queen will reward you for it. “

   “Stop making such bad jokes, my favorite, and stop weaving false and vicious hopes for my subjects.”

The Queen    shook her head, she looked at the beautiful crystal tree outside the window, she said softly:

   “Arcandor’s seeds are hard to breed. You can’t grow miracles with the pits. Maybe I should send some fruits to the Kaldorei and let their druids try it.”

   “But this will be seen as a provocation by the conservative and stubborn Sisters of Elune, my lord.”

   Black said softly:

   “They are hostile to all magical creations, not to mention the Arcandol fruit, which is a perfect combination of arcane magic and life, which will be regarded as a desecration of life by them.

   This will also make them more hostile to you. “

   “My dear god, do you think I would care about these little things? Hehe.”

   Azshara gave a long laugh in the manner of a royal sister and queen. She took out the third list and handed it to the maid Vashj who appeared in the teleportation magic. She ordered:

   “Go, pick ten fruits and send them to Mount Hyjal, and tell those foolish night elves that this is a gift from their merciful queen.”

  “Shu”

   Lilith Moonshire and Anastarian’s eyes lit up at the same time.

   The night elves certainly wouldn’t accept this fruit from a magic well, but the Kaldorei didn’t want it, but Quel’Thalas and Suramar needed it.

  Although there are only ten pieces, if it is extremely diluted, it means that 10,000 people will benefit from it.

   Obviously, the Queen is using this method to deliberately provoke a conflict between Quel’dorei, the Nightborne and the Kaldorei elves.

   But it is useless to realize this, they still have to try their best to win or **** the ownership of the ten fruits of freedom from the Kaldorei.

   Alas, Azshara is still the same Azshara she used to be. What is even more terrifying than this charming face is her god-given wisdom. This trick is really slippery.

   “Then, that’s it.”

  The queen satisfied her desire to control, she got up satisfied, and said to her subjects:

   “See you at this time next year, my ministers, serve wholeheartedly for the glory and rise of the empire.”

   After finishing speaking, the queen showed a charming smile to Blake, turned around and dissipated her illusion of power and left here, and the night children also quickly left to collect the precious fruits.

  Anastarian was not in a hurry to leave. The former Sun King who came alone sat on his chair and sighed:

   “Based on the corruption and corruption of the Shaldorei political system, I guess it would be good to have five of the thirty fruits for the commoners, and most of the rest will be monopolized and distributed by high-level elites and become a kind of scarce political capital.

   It’s just pity that the commoners of the Nightborne have to continue to rely on magic wine to survive for a long time. “

   “Well, Quel’Thalas should be better off.”

   Black, who was sitting opposite the old king with a jug in his arms, nodded solemnly, raised his fingers as if playing a game, and said:

“About 30 of your 90 fruits will fall into the hands of the royal party and be divided up by the old families, and 20 will be given to the newly rebuilt Silver Moon Council by the royal family, here to strengthen the royal family’s response to those rebellious The caster’s control.

   There are ten more to be allocated to neutral nobles and generals such as the Windrunner family and the Mingyi family, and finally set aside some potions that can be kept for a long time to deal with possible political crises.

   In this way, no more than fifteen fruits will be left to the large number of commoners. “

   Having said this, Blake laughed dumbly.

   He got up and said to the old king:

“So, big brother, don’t laugh at second brother, black skin and white skin are similar, neither can be better or worse, so I think it is better for Queen Azshara to distribute the fruit to her huge number. The subjects are more fair.

   With all due respect, Your Majesty.

   In fact, if you make full use of the value of the tree of Arcandor, all elves can get a potion to curb the addiction within ten years, but from a realistic point of view, I will tell you pessimistically.

  You never really want to get rid of the threat of magic addiction, even Kael’thas Sunstrider, who is very optimistic about me, can’t do it! For elves, the real devil is never the addiction, but the greed in your hearts.

   Of course, this is true for humans and dwarves as well.

Perhaps my Majesty Azshara saw through this, and so generously handed these God-given things to you for free distribution. She knew that as long as she and I maintained a stable ally, she could rely on this tree. control you forever. “

   “The world of elves has always been so ugly, Your Majesty Black.”

   Anastarian was not angry, he said calmly:

   “Elves are never more perfect than other races, we have our faults, even the unenchanted night elves are far from perfect, they have terrible flaws too.

   But I am not here to discuss the future of elves with you today.

  I’m here to get something very important to me and my country.”

  The old king stood up, looked at Black, and said:

   “Give us back the Holy Spirit of the Sun!”

   “Uh, your expression is so serious, it makes me suspect that in the next moment you will draw a flaming strike and strike me with a sword.”

  The pirate pouted, drank the “fruit wine” in his hand, snapped his fingers at Anastarian, and said:

   “You want to see Anveena? Well, come with me, just right, tonight is Anveena’s important moment, and she really needs a weighty witness.

  I also invited some important people from the elf world to watch the ceremony, and Ms. Tyrande was among them.

  If she wants to beat me up because of the magic well, you have to help me, this weak god. “

   After this not funny joke, Black waved and opened a door to the void that he didn’t know where, he glanced at the old king, made a “follow up” look, and then strode inside.

  The old king followed without any hesitation.

   But he didn’t like the name Blake gave to Quel’Thalas’ sun spirit, Anveena. It sounded like a human girl’s name, it didn’t fit the elves’ naming convention and didn’t even have a last name?

   This is too much!

   At least call her “Annveena Sunstrider”, right?

   With the idea of ​​”beloved things were robbed and given bad names”, the old king followed Black to a place he could not have imagined.

   A library!

   Looking at the structure of the building, you can see that this is still somewhere in Narthalas College, and it is the most concise and atmospheric temple-style building.

  A dozen columns hold up the white dome. There are no extra decorations here except for stained glass. Rows of books are displayed on the polished marble floor.

  The entire library is divided into three floors, which are connected to each other by a rotating staircase. According to the ratio of bookshelves and books, it is conservatively estimated that there are at least 100,000 books hidden here.

   “No, there are more than two million books here.”

  Black easily felt the thoughts in the old king’s heart. He led the way and explained:

   “The first floor is a general education book, including a detailed explanation of the primary knowledge of all power systems and paths that exist in Azeroth and Draenor.

  The students of the college can enter and exit freely by relying on their student ID cards. Of course, the books here are not allowed to be taken away, and they can only transcribe by themselves.

   The second layer is the secret books of various schools of high-level power.

  The magic of space expansion is applied there. The area is ten times that of the first floor. Only students who have obtained high-level certificates can enter. It is completely open to tutors.

   A batch of Argus magic books from the Palace of Mysteries will soon be sent to the second-floor library, which will have to undergo another expansion.

   As for the third floor.

   Well, only the deputy dean and tutors above the backbone of education can enter, so the students should not think about it.

All the taboo knowledge above the legendary level is stored there. In some corners, you can even find the knowledge of the demigods. Even if the students go in, don’t even try to understand it. Maybe they will be stunned by those powerful words. Fool.

   Oh, by the way, your silly son is also a frequent visitor to the library on the third floor. He has his own reading room there, and he has to pay a rental fee of 100,000 gold coins to the library every year. “

   “I just said why Kael’thas didn’t finish his magic in the palace laboratory for so long, so he found a better place.”

  The old king smiled, and gracefully handed out a gold goblin card, saying:

   “Then, please, Lord Black, please leave a quiet study room for me here. As a spellcaster, I also hope to taste the valuable knowledge of Nar’Thalas Academy.”

   “You? You want to add money!”

  Black said angrily:

   “I can’t trust your conduct!

   You will surely bring back to Quel’Thalas the precious knowledge we have spent so much to gather, though we advocate the dissemination of knowledge, which is priceless.

   But at least you have to pay the price of renting knowledge.

  Look, Anvena is reading books there. What a good child, she is still here diligently absorbing knowledge when other students are running to see the wonders of the magic well.

   She will definitely become the beloved disciple of Dean Lanyue.

   I heard that she is about to prepare for the entrance exam for the elite class, I think she will pass easily. “

   Following Blake’s gaze, the old king trembled when he saw the familiar back that haunted him.

  The Holy Spirit of the Sun was wearing the uniform of an ordinary student of the Arcane School of Nar’Thalas Academy. He was sitting on the desk by the window and writing quickly. On the table in front of her were stacks of books that could easily smash a dwarf to death.

   Judging from the several notebooks she has on hand, she must have been here for a long time.

   “Shhh!”

  Blake stopped Anastarian who wanted to step forward, and pointed to the slogan “No noise, keep quiet” hanging on the wall. He and the old king strolled towards the girl who was studying hard in the sunlight in front of him.

   She has long blond hair that is tied up, revealing the sharp ears that are characteristic of the Quel’dorei elves, a phoenix earring tied under her left ear, and a Quel’Thalas-style gemstone pendant around her neck.

   She also wears a pair of large black-rimmed glasses to hide her peculiar golden pupils, so as not to be discovered by her classmates in daily studies.

   The fact that she is a spirit body is not that important.

   There are too many spiritual body students at Narthas College, and she is not missing one.

Under Blake’s gaze, the tearful old king tried his best to maintain his demeanor. He wiped his red eyes with a handkerchief, nodded to Blake and thanked him, then walked slowly and stood beside Anveena. .

   Anveena was too immersed in her studies to discover the people around her for the first time, until the old king said in a gentle voice:

   “The answer to this question can be revised, Anveena. Although the standard answer can solve the escape of this magic flow, if you fine-tune the order of the runes, you can increase the efficiency of this magic by one-fifth.”

   “Huh? Is that so?”

   The Sun Holy Spirit with black-rimmed glasses exclaimed.

   She pushed up her glasses and politely thanked the people beside her who offered help, but when she saw the old king’s face full of tears, Anveena also showed a big smile in surprise.

   She cheered, jumped up from her chair and threw herself into the arms of the old king.

   she cried:

   “Little Anastarian! You finally came to pick me up, I miss you so much, have you ever thought about my sister? If not, I will be very sad.”
