Listening to Arthas's words, Malfurion was momentarily stunned, and then looked at his brother - coincidentally, Illidan was also looking at him, and the eyes of the two men met, and they both saw what the other had in mind......
"The Well of Eternity?"
Malfurion muttered the name in a puzzled tone.
The Well of Eternity is the sacred place in the hearts of all Night Elves - the followers of the moon god Elune firmly believe that when the day comes and the moon dims, their gods sleep in the Well of Eternity, waiting for night to fall.
The power contained in the Well of Eternity amazed even Malfurion's teacher, Cenarius, and all the mages of the Night Elves gained great mana through their connection to the Well of Eternity - which is why Illidan was not keen on learning spells from Cenarius - in his words: "Rather than practice penance in the forest, it is better to take a bath in the Well of Eternity." ”
No Night Elf, not even the most knowledgeable scholar, could tell how much power the Well of Eternity contained, and no one had ever truly mastered it.
But Malfurion had to admit that the entire civilization of the Night Elves was built on the existence of the Well of Eternity - and that without the Well of Eternity, there would be no empire of the entire Kadore.
"The Well of Eternity...... Could it be that those demons were attracted to the Well of Eternity? ”
Tyrande asked, confused.
"It's worse than that - apparently they were purposefully summoned...... I think you already have a target for suspicion, right? Can you tell me about your Empress? ”
Arthas asks Malfurion and Illidan about Malfurion's suspicions, and the role of the Night Elf Empress Azhara in that dream.
"That's just my guess. Because...... At the time of the disaster, I saw ...... in my dreams The palaces of the upper elves seemed intact, and the Empress's guards were not seen at war with those terrible demons. So ......"
Malfurion answered Arthas's question in a somewhat complicated tone - although he speculated that his empress might have played some less glamorous role in the disaster, he ...... Letting an outsider break it like this, Malfurion still felt a little embarrassed.
"It doesn't matter who it is...... If we can go inside and have a look, everything will be revealed...... I don't quite understand your system...... Isn't that the city free to come and go? ”
Arthas asked.
"It's not hard to get into Essareen, it's just the palace of Empress Essara...... None of us are high-level elves, and the only one in the entire city of Sulamar who is qualified to enter there is the owner of the Crow Castle, Lord Rafencrest...... My plan with Illidan, I think Tyrande has already told you. ”
Malfurion shook his head and said.
Arthas smiled wryly—wherever it was. There are all hierarchies, and this is true for humans, and it seems that the Night Elves are no exception...... It's just that Arthas didn't expect that the distinction between classes among the Night Elves would be so strict.
From this point of view. Arthas felt that the Night Elf Empress Azhara was not a good ruler - his father had told him that even the most powerful king could not exist alone from his subjects.
"I don't think there's any viability in your plan - the power of those demons is not to be underestimated - it's very likely that you'll never get back out once you're in."
Arthas thought for a moment and said to Malfurion.
"Do you have a better way?"
Illidan asked suddenly—he had to admit that the human stranger did know something, but ...... In addition to infiltrating Esaline's palace with an adventurous approach...... What else can be done to confirm what is happening there?
"If only you just want to see what's going on in Esaline...... There are a lot of spells that can do this...... I'm more concerned about. Once this is confirmed. What are you going to do? ”
Arthas asked, shaking his head.
"What do you mean?"
Malfurion hurriedly asked.
"That is...... If those demons do come, and your nobles act as guides in them...... So how are you going to resist? Do the Night Elves still have enough power to stop them from encroaching on the world further? ”
Arthas reminded Malfurion that the Night Elves had an important role to play in stopping the Burning Legion invasion, both 10,000 years ago and 10,000 years later, but it was clear that the Night Elves alone were not enough, and Arthas thought of some help he could use, such as ......
"Or else? If we don't stop this from happening, do we expect you humans? We don't even know where your kingdom is. ”
Illidan said in a slightly mocking tone.
"There really can't be anything my people can do...... They are too far away...... But you should look for some other help, such as...... Dragons, for example......"
Arthas explained.
"You mean dragons? But...... We don't have much to do with the dragons. My teacher was too...... I don't think the dragons will be on our side at this time. ”
Malfurion shook his head and said—he had the impression that the dragon was a powerful, noble, and proud creature. But it really doesn't have much to do with the Night Elves.
"This kind of thing can be discussed later...... If we can muster a force, we can stop what is happening in Atherine's palace...... With all due respect, you don't want to see legions of demons come into this world. ”
Arthas said, shaking his head.
"But we're not sure if it's happening there......"
Malfurion hurriedly retorted to Arthas's words, but he quickly interrupted himself and fell silent.
Malfurion didn't know why he did what he did - he was convinced of what was happening in his dreams, and with the confirmation of Mr. Human, Malfurion felt that there was little need for reconnaissance.
But as the Mr. Alsace had mentioned—and Malfurion knew that what he had thought was too simple—the point was not at all how to find out what had happened to Esaline, but ...... What happens when you know the truth?
Azhara is the Empress of the Night Elves, and her prestige among the commoners is almost equal to that of a god; The upper elves are the nobles of the Night Elves, and with the exception of a few gifted commoners like Illidan, this class includes almost all the great lords, the most powerful mages, and scholars......
