"He has the water of the Well of Eternity in his hands, and he is willing to give it to us in the form of a trade."

In the court gardens of the 10,000-year-old city of Erezaras in the wilderness of Ferras, Kael'thas and his henchmen are walking the grassy paths, and the heavily armed Phoenix Guardians are on guard around the garden to ensure that the Sun King's chats with the Interior Ministers are not leaked out.

The young and handsome Sun King frowned, and the faces of the palace ministers who followed him were not very good-looking, obviously because of the news that the Sun King had just brought back, a piece of news that was difficult to choose.

"Can you be sure of the authenticity? Your Majesty? ”

The Minister of National Affairs, Romans, asked softly, the gray-haired old elf's cheeks were fuller than before, and it seemed that he had adapted to the magical environment of Eresaras, but the minister's face was becoming more and more wrinkled, apparently due to the complicated affairs of the High Elves.

"I'm not suspicious of your sources, but Illidan. Fury, this is a dangerous man, and we don't know all the things he did in the Ancient Wars, but based on what we know, this guy is a complete thug, and the most troublesome thing is that he is a typical, extreme idealist who deals with this kind of person... We need to be in good spirits. ”

"Yes!"

In the face of Romans's questioning, the Sun King nodded without hesitation, he looked at the rare plants in the palace garden, and he whispered:

"At the invitation of Lady Tyrande, I went to Mount Hyjal the other day, and I saw with my own eyes the water in the pool beneath the World Tree... Although the Night Elves are silent about this, I can be sure that the small lake under the World Tree is a liquid mixed with the water of the Eternal Well, and even after 10,000 years, it still contains the ultimate pure magic... The Luna priests sealed the magic with their magic, but I could feel it. ”

The Sun King sighed, handed the golden, staff-like scepter in his hand to the guards beside him, and then sat down on a chair in the garden, and said to the three men in front of him:

"And that pool of water was made by Illidan himself after the end of the Ancient War 10,000 years ago... That's why he was imprisoned for 10,000 years, so I'm pretty sure he still has the water of the Well of Eternity in his hands, probably not as much as he claims, but it's definitely enough for us to rebuild the Well of the Sun. ”

"After all, my grandfather used less than a third of the water of the Well of Eternity to complete the main part of the Well of the Sun."

Speaking of this, the Sun King sighed a little abruptly:

"It's a pity that before the outbreak of the War of the Ancients, my grandfather was not able to get more well water... After all, it was a treasure for Empress Aishara and the entire Elven Empire. ”

"Hmm"

Archmage Romans nodded, the old elf lost his mind, he stopped talking, and the general of the defense of Erezaras and the head of the guard of the Sunchaser Court, Lothama. Theron looked left and right, and the war-torn Legendary Ranger lowered his voice and asked softly:

"So, can we plan an armed operation... to force him to hand over what we need? ”

"It's difficult, Theron."

In the setting sun that enveloped the entire 10,000-year-old ancient city, the Sun King brushed his long golden hair, narrowed his eyes, and said to his defense general:

"In the few minutes I talked to Fury, I could probably tell his strength, although he was imprisoned for 10,000 years, he was probably really as tricky as recorded in my grandfather's codex, although I didn't see him personally deal with demons, but just from the strength of his followers, it was a very powerful being... In a real battle of life and death, I am not his opponent. ”

Kaelsa calmly admitted his weakness, and said to Lotherma:

"And the Night Elves official doesn't trust Illidan, the tricky Warden Warden, Lady Mavi is guarding him, Illidan's range of activities is on the battlefield of Mount Hyjal and Felwood Forest, which are the core areas of the Night Elves, even if the force operation is successful, it is difficult for us to guarantee that we will not be detected by the Night Elf official."

The Sun King shook his head:

"It's a last resort, and we can only consider intervening by force when we have absolutely no choice but to do so."

Speaking of this, Kael'thas hesitated for a moment, narrowed his eyes, and said to his subordinates:

"And I don't know if it's a delusion... I always feel that the Night Elf officials seem to be trying to interfere with Illidan's idea and get him to hand over the Eternal Well Water in his hand, maybe their idea is to destroy that thing, but if my guess is correct, it means that all of Illidan's activities may be under the attention of the Night Elf officials..."

"Then we'll promise him!"

The last military minister who did not speak, the High Elf Ranger General, the indifferent Windranger Sylvanas, said in a deep voice:

"Since we can't fight, and we can't resort to official channels, then let's let this deal go ahead, anyway, all we need is eternal well water, and to be honest, I hate dealing with our closed distant relatives too... Their devotion to the moon god clearly influenced their way of thinking, just like a bunch of fanatics. ”

"We can't promise him, General Sylvanas!"

General Lothema retorted:

"We can't send our people away because of a vague hope! This is not what a day-chaser should do! ”

"Wait! Theron! ”

The Sun King turned his head to look at Sylvanas, he gestured to Lotherma not to speak first, and the Sun King's green eyes stared at his Ranger General, and he asked softly:

"I know better than anyone how General Sylvanas protects our people, and her will to protect them, and I don't believe that General Sylvanas would sacrifice people's lives so easily, so I guess... You should already have the best of both worlds in mind, right? Shiva? ”

The Ranger General smiled when she heard this, and the iceberg-like beauty General shook her long hair, and under the halo of the setting sun all over the sky, she looked at the two companions beside her, and the Majesty to whom she was allegiated, and she whispered:

"Of course I wouldn't send 50,000 of my compatriots to that Night Elf madman as a test subject, but I captured a very crucial point from your description, Illidan told you that the demon addiction in the High Elves will make us more tolerant of evil energy, and it will be easier for us to pass the trials of demon hunters, and he himself only needs soldiers, and he doesn't care about the origin of the soldiers under his command..."

The Ranger General paused, a chilling glint flashing in her beautiful eyes, and she lowered her voice again, as if whispering:

"Your Majesty, Lotherma, and Master Romans, you must not have forgotten the people who live on the edge of the city of Eresaras... Sindra remnants, right? ”

"This..."

Lotherma. Theron's eyes widened, he wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say it, and Archmage Roman and the Sun King looked at each other, and after a moment, the dying elven archmage glanced at General Sylvanas, who was in his hands, and asked in a low voice:

"Is it possible?"

"Why not?"

Sylvanas stood on the grass, playing with her long smooth hair a little boredly, and she said in a way that she evaluated the object:

"The upper elves' addiction is worse than that of the high elves, and the main body of Sindra's civilization has been transferred to the side of the Federation of the Eastern Continents. The upper elves of the Eternal Shadow have all left Eresaras, leaving behind these poor exiles who are not accepted by both sides, and no one will make a fuss about their disappearance, and no one will support them. ”

"They are the best victims... Or to put it another way in a less cold word, they are the best "martyrs" of the High Elf civilization! ”

The Ranger General narrowed his eyes, and his eyes as sharp as arrows were placed on the Sun King, she was obviously waiting for the Sun King's decision, and Kael'thas didn't hesitate for too long, he raised his head, and a smile appeared on his handsome face:

"Then do it, Shiva, do it cleanly, our people have already suffered too much, let us carry these dark things, don't let the people suffer from it... Count Lothama, you come to the aid of General Khiva! ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! ”

Lotherma. Theron and Sylvanas. The Windranger straightened up at the same time and took the order as a soldier, but Archmage Manrose asked another question.

"General Sylvanas, as far as I know, the number of Sindra remnants who remain in Eresaras is less than 30,000, which is not enough to complete the deal between His Majesty and Furywind, what about the vacant part?"

"This..."

Sylvanas glanced at Lotherma, who nodded slightly at her, and the Ranger General shrugged:

"As far as we know, the main stronghold of the Sindra Elves in the Federation is located in the former northern city of Lordaeron, which is very close to the Dalaran Strait, maybe we can plan a raid operation, not for the purpose of killing, a quick raid and plunder, according to the speed of the Sunsail fleet, as long as we are not bad enough to be blocked in the strait by the Federation's Black Ark fleet or the Dark Blade's Dead Sea Fleet, we can leave quickly."

Lotherma, who knows more about the Sunsail Fleet, adds:

"General Sylvanas's proposal can be considered, Your Majesty, and Master Manrose, the sailing speed of the Sunsail fleet is currently the fastest of all fleets in Azeroth, as long as the planning is perfect, we can..."

"No!"

This suggestion was vetoed by the Sun King before it could be discussed in depth, and Kael'thas shook his head:

"We have signed an alliance agreement with the Human Empire and the orcs, and we all advance and retreat together, in this political environment, once there is a problem with the raid, it is easy to directly trigger a full-scale war between the Kalimdor camp and the Eastern Federation, which is a fatal blow to our current situation, this plan is too threatening, I don't agree!"

"But the proposal of the two generals reminds me of another thing..."

The Sun King turned his head to look at his Minister of National Affairs, and he asked:

"Romans, do you remember the news that the Human Empire informed us about a year ago?"

"Well, of course I do, Your Majesty."

The gray-haired archmage Romans explained to the two generals:

"His Majesty Darth Rema, the ancestor of the High Elves and the ancestor of the Sunstriders, was born in the upper elf class, so even after the Night Elves took power, his connection with other upper elf forces was not severed, and as we know, the Sindra Elves are the last upper elves that are still active in Azeroth, but it does not mean that after the destruction of Sindra, the upper elves will be extinct."

Master Romans was a little worried, he glanced at the Sun King, who nodded at him, so the archmage coughed lightly, and said to the two generals beside him with a serious face:

"Sylvanas, and Lotherma, what you're going to hear next is top-secret information shared between the Human Empire and the High Elves! I hope you will keep it a secret. ”

"One year ago, during a pirate expulsion activity of the Third Fleet of the Kurtilas Navy, the human navy was hit by a storm in the waters of the Broken Isles, and they broke into the foggy waters of the northernmost sea of the Broken Islands in a panic, and several warships lost contact with the fleet for 4 days, no one knows what happened to those ships, but the point is that after they successfully joined the fleet, a shocking news was transmitted back to the Kul Tiras Admiralty."

Archmage Romans glanced at the two generals, and he whispered:

"Those human sailors claim that in the southernmost fog of the Broken Isles, there is a purple elven city hidden, and the entire city is protected by a large range of mana barriers, and they have collected some specimens in the maple leaf wilderness outside the city, and after the research of the mages of Dalaran, the civilization represented by those specimens is the civilization of the Elven Empire 10,000 years ago, that is..."

"Another city from 10,000 years ago appeared... That's another Sindra! ”

The Sun King saw the surprise in Sylvanas and Lotherma's eyes, and he answered:

"The Human Empire sent scouts to inspect that city, unfortunately, the scouts were raided by the sudden appearance of the Darkblade Legion while operating on the Broken Beach, but according to the news sent back by the scouts, the existence of that city is real, and based on the words left by my grandfather's codex, I have already judged the origin of that city!"

Kael'thas pursed his lips, and he whispered:

"That's Sulama... The "pearl" of the Elven Empire, but at the moment we know too little about that place to make substantive strategic decisions, but Illidan is a patient man, and I believe that 30,000 Sindra will be able to satisfy his appetite for a while, and the remaining time is enough for us to slowly explore the city in the mist. ”

The Sun King closed his eyes, and he leaned back in his chair, letting the blood-like remnant sun shine on his body, and he whispered:

"I have every reason to believe that we can definitely find enough in that city that has been closed for 10,000 years... Martyrs! ”
