Chapter 11 Departure
Patrick plans to leave Silvermoon City to study and travel to increase his experience, and plans to go out for a few years, mainly to get in touch with other arcane intelligence, and Patrick's concept for himself is to go out to college.
A few years is enough, if it weren't for the elves indulging in pleasure and indulgence, the development of Silvermoon City would be incredibly fast. The title of the Magic Kingdom is not for nothing, and all the living facilities in Silvermoon City are powered by arcane. Just as people rely on electricity today.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with understanding arcane as electricity, the only difference is that people on earth cannot control electricity with mental power, while people in World of Warcraft can control arcane with mental power. (It's all the same light blue, they all have the same energy field, and they can all design the same lines.) )
Before you want to go out to study, you have to discuss it with your family and ask for your family's opinion, but when your parents found out why Patrick went out, they were surprised, and both parents agreed that if you go out to study, a few years is too short.
According to the High Elves' concept of time, it takes at least ten hundred years, or more, to go from being an apprentice mage to being able to go to the mage tower on his own as a mage assistant, and then to become a mage who can study arcane arts on his own.
This almost made Patrick cry and laugh, and Patrick couldn't tell his parents that his soul was human. And it's not easy to say that there is an old antique mage in his body who has stepped into immortality in ancient times and is about to advance to demigodship.
[What is an old antique mage? 】
"Didn't you tell me last time, during the Battle of the Ancients, as the archmage of the Upper Elf Royal Magic Research Association, relying on the power of the Well of Eternity, you have been promoted to become a transcendent archmage, and you are only one step away from a demigod." Patrick's slender eyebrows furrowed.
[Yes, if it weren't for the explosion of the Well of Eternity, from 10,000 years to now, I estimate that I would have advanced to a demigod long ago. At that time, I had already gained immortal power, and I was already the so-called transcending the mundane and pursuing a higher arcane truth. You can call me the Transcendental Archmage or the Truth Archmage, not some old antique mage. 】
Putting aside Allen, who was finding fault halfway, Patrick felt that there was an absolute difference between humans and the High Elves in terms of cognitive concepts.
That's right, if the elves are as "impatient" as humans in everything, then it will be the elves who will rule the world of Azeroth, as far as their parents Phil Cabolon and mother Aina Cabolon are concerned, who have lived for nearly 3,000 years, but only have two children, himself and his brother Patterson Cabolon. This fertility, there is nothing to say, put it on human beings, and it will be able to give birth to a planet in 3,000 years.
But one conclusion can be drawn that most of the blame for the lower fertility rate of elves should be borne by men. First of all, after Luo Ning and Wen Lesa were combined, they had children in less than two years, and they were twins.
Then, the whole race of the High Elves is obsessed with the Sunwell, regardless of whether it is male or female, whether it is a spellcaster or not, almost everyone knows a few small spells, and it is the mage gate that is obsessed with the Sunwell, resulting in men not being interested in having offspring.
Finally, the social climate of the High Elves is very bad, hedonism is rampant, most High Elf parents are reluctant to have children, they only care about pleasure, having children or something is a side effect, they only care about the manufacturing process.
Leave the house and go. In front of the main gate of Silvermoon City.
The first time I came to the main gate of Silvermoon City, it was different from the game, the main gate of Silvermoon City was very grand, the sculptures on both sides of the gate were two kings, Anastarian and Dasrema, there were lawbreakers guarding the door, and the sculpture of the elf girl outside the gate surrounded the magic fountain, as if welcoming every guest to Silvermoon City, and the gate was directly connected to Salas Avenue leading to the outside of the Eternal Song Forest.
In the future, the main gate of Silvermoon City has been destroyed, and the original Salas Avenue has also become a death scar, and Silvermoon City has also been divided into two by the death scar, accompanied by endless wailing spirits and wandering ghouls, like a pain blade directly stabbed into the heart of the High Elves, it was a breathing pain.
Time is not a good medicine, it does not make the High Elves slowly forget the pain, but allows the elves to get used to the pain, a helpless habit.
Leaving Silvermoon City, Patrick's first stop is the Eastern Temple, which is directly south of Silvermoon City, a famous magical temple of Quel'Salas, which is located east of Weatherwind Town, west of the Forest of Life, and close to Salas Avenue, which is an important supply point for the Kingdom's main routes.
At the same time, the Eastern Temple also has the role of monitoring the Trolls of Sebwasa in the Forest of Life, and can also provide logistics and reinforcements for the Pharisas Rune Stone and the Sandor Rune Stone together with Sunny Breeze Town, and the significance of the Eastern Temple is self-evident.
Arriving at the Eastern Temple, this is not what I remember, now this is like a small town, but there are many more ranger troops than usual, because recently the trolls in Sebwasa have shown signs of advancement, and the sentry posts outside the town have repeatedly noticed the trolls looking at them in the distance, and the Far Travelers dare not take it lightly, and have sent many additional troops to strengthen the defense of the Eastern Temple.
The first thing Patrick did when he entered the town was to find the town's inn and plan to rest in the Eastern Temple for a few days before setting off for Taquelin in the Ghost Lands.
The attendant of the inn hurriedly came to receive Patrick, the attendant has not received the mage of the Five Rings for a long time, and the mages who usually come to the town to stay in the mage tower live in the mage tower, and the mages basically do not come to live in the hotel. Moreover, except for the mages stationed in the Eastern Temple Tower in the town, the other mages basically left with the town's supplies.
There are few mages like Patrick who are alone, very few, and the average five-ring mage has an entourage with them, at least a few apprentices. Because the five-ring mage can already be said to be the middle level of the elves, it is possible to impact the high-level arcane master in the future.
After settling in a little, Patrick made his way to the streets, which were much less lively than before due to the trolls, with few pedestrians on the streets, rangers interspersed with them, and the guards of the outer sentry posts strengthened.
Stumbled upon their Ranger Leader, Aurelia. Why is she here, isn't she directing the battle against the trolls at the Far Wanderer's dwelling? Could it be that the war at the Far Wanderer's camp is over?
Or maybe the pressure over there has been lifted, and only the trolls on the eastern side of the temple are still slowly advancing, and observing all the way from Patrick to the inside of the town, the watchtower outside the town has obviously increased the number of ranger guards. With traps and trenches made by the rangers beneath the tower, and the town's main thoroughfares cleared to keep them open, Aurelia seems to have done it all, and is the leader of the Far Travelers, well versed in the tactics of fighting trolls.
