Spirit? Or the sun Trolls? - Additional update[95]
(Additional update for brother "Gervis" [4/5])
Sunwell Floating Isle returned to Quel'Thalas, which made the Sin'dorei elves extremely happy.
Although their Holy Land will be floating in a strange posture above the Silvermoon City that is waiting to be renovated, although the magic power emitted by Sunwell is less than half of what it once was, and although this Holy Land has grown legs, there is a high probability that it will suddenly disappear and run to other places.
But something is better than nothing.
According to the time of Azeroth, Sunwell has disappeared for more than a month. Such a long time is enough for Quel'Thalas to evolve from the area with the highest magic power in the world to an area with low magic power.
For humans, this doesn't matter. On the contrary, they will feel comfortable because the magic power concentration is reduced to about the same as other areas. After all, humans do not have "Magic Addiction". If they soak in a high-concentration magic environment for a long time, they will feel as uncomfortable as "drunk on oxygen".
But this is life-threatening for the Sin'dorei elf.
The low magic environment cannot satisfy their exaggerated Magic Addiction. Although these days' low magic experience has not yet led to exaggerated examples of "Wretched" appearing in Sin'dorei, a group of Arcane Mage and older elves have indeed experienced various discomfort reactions.
Their thinking becomes slow, their bodies become weak, their eyes are bloodshot, their tempers become irritable, and some cases are even bedridden in severe cases.
This symptom is spreading like a "plague" in Quel'Thalas. New "patients" appear every day, which has affected the stability of the country.
Because all elves know that if they can no longer find the source of magic, all of them will eventually become like this.
It's just a matter of time.
Kael'thas didn't even dare to stay in Lordaeron for too long. After confirming that King Terenas and Mad King had fallen, he left Farstriders to assist Lothar, and he hurried back with the Phoenix Guards just to calm people's hearts.
Kael'thas had eaten Arcan'dor Sacred Fruit before, and his Magic Addiction had been cured, but seeing the suffering of the people was like a more terrifying pressure on Sun King's shoulders. The day after returning to Quel'Thalas, he "fell ill."
Sun King's palace has not yet been restored, and the place is filled with the remnants of the shadow of the void. Therefore, Kael'thas currently lives in his original Mage Tower.
When Diakum strode into Mage Tower's rest area, he saw the haggard queen Lanathel walking out of the room carrying some untouched food.
After seeing Vigilant appear, Queen Lanathel's eyes lit up. She handed the food to the maid and stepped forward to greet her in person.
"My husband and our king clearly need your help, Saint. He is trapped in some kind of delusion from which he cannot extricate himself."
The queen said worriedly:
"We have blocked the news, but Sun King can't stay hidden from Mage Tower. The people need his leadership to dispel their uneasiness."
"Sunwell Floating Isle will temporarily stay at Quel'Thalas."
Diakum whispered:
"Its return may temporarily solve the current troubles of the Sin'dorei elf, but it cannot stay here forever, so you still need to make plans in advance.
Ms. Vilara and I have adjusted the energy radiation of Sunwell to half of its original value. The current magic release can relieve Sin'dorei's Magic Addiction, but it cannot make you feel comfortable and satisfied. It is like some kind of unbearable "withdrawal reaction".
But the best individual members among you must adapt to the low-magic environment as quickly as possible.
Otherwise, no matter how Kael'thas plans to solve the Magic Addiction problem in the future, a group of Warrior who cannot organize an expedition and cannot move freely in other environments will not be able to implement any of his plans."
"Well, we have organized the Arcane Mages to store Sunwell's precious magic power as much as possible, and like Suramar City, store a large amount of "bottled magic power" for emergencies."
Queen Lanathel replied:
"Our envoys have gone to Nexus of Blue Dragon, hoping to get help from the magic dragons. This is how the Sandar Elfs of Northland survived the Magic Addiction outbreak of the Elven Empire collapse.
They learned special techniques from Blue Dragon, which can transform everything into magic crystals and then draw energy from them.
We hope Blue Dragon can share such tips with us."
"I have seen Sandar Elf, and I know that their Magic Addiction has been reduced to an acceptable level during ten thousand years of self-restraint and spiritual practice. Blue Dragon's skills play a role in this, but it is not a necessary condition."
Diakum shook his head and said:
"What you should learn is the spirit and will of others to restrain their "inner demons", not just the skills."
He didn't say too much. Sin'dorei is a tough race. They experienced many hardships in the official history and finally washed away their pride and were reborn from the ashes.
Now Kael'thas has become Sun King, Dick believes that Sin'dorei's "hard journey" will be much easier than before.
He walked into the room with magic silk as a curtain. Ms. Vilara and several Sin'dorei Priest were treating Sun King here. The old elf at the head is Vondelor, the adoptive father of Ms. Liadrin. He is the Holy Light leader of Quel'Thalas and has a close relationship with the human church.
At this time, the Holy Light priest looked sad.
Obviously, he is helpless about Sun King's "disease".
"He is very healthy, Dick. His spirit has encountered some kind of illusion, and he is trapped in it just like you before, unable to extricate himself."
Veilara said in a serious tone:
"I am certain that this is related to the "Path of the Sun" he embarked on under your leadership. Considering that the two of you fell into the illusion at about the same time, this may be a "collective outbreak" inherited by An'she?"
"Indeed, I was led to "High Heaven" made of light, so where was Kael'thas led by An'she?"
Diakum reached out and held Kael'thas's hot wrist. This was not due to an increase in body temperature caused by the disease, but because the Arcane Energy in Kael'thas's body was transforming into a flame.
If Diakum has both the power concepts of "light" and "fire" in the inheritance of Sun God, then the power concept that Kael'thas will acquire in the future will focus on "fire".
This has something to do with the path of power he walks.
The concept of power can be understood by many people at the same time, but only one person can reach the end of each path and become a god and become part of the path of the Force.
Diakum's power focuses more on light, so there is no actual conflict of power between him and Kael'thas.
He activated Heart Power and let himself merge into the mental predicament of Kael'thas at this time.
And he did not enjoy this "revelation" exclusively, letting Heart Power spread, bringing in several Holy Light priests and Ms. Vilara, as well as the worried Queen Lanathel and several loyal ministers.
Kael'thas has made up his mind to create "Sun State Religion". Let Sin'dorei executives see with their own eyes the connection between their ancestors and Sun God, which will help the development of this system.
They stepped into the spiritual illusion, and with Diakum leading the way, they quickly reached the depths of the illusion that trapped Sun King.
Then, they saw a scene that made all the elves feel uncomfortable.
A large group of Dark Troll are kneeling and worshiping near the "Well of Eternity" flowing with holy energy. This seems to be the era when Elven Empire was not established more than 10,000 years ago, and it was also the era when the Dark Trolls just migrated to the vicinity of Well of Eternity.
Diakum noticed that the Trolls leaders who knelt down to worship Well of Eternity showed signs of "appearance changes".
They have whiter skin and slimmer bodies than other Dark Troll.
After kneeling down devoutly in this ancient sacrifice, priests wearing animal skins fished the pure water from outside Well of Eternity and gave it to their people to drink. They regarded it as a sacred ceremony to serve a "Loa".
During the entire ceremony, there was a bright moon shrouding this sacred place, which may be the source of the elves' Moon Goddess worship.
Thinking further, maybe they were chasing the holy moonlight and were guided to the vicinity of the sacred Well of Eternity.
However, among these Dark Troll who worship Well of Eternity and the moon, there are a few who seem out of place. They also drink the water from the Well of Eternity well, but they do not kneel down to the moon.
The animal skins of these peculiar Dark Troll outline the lines of the sun. They did not disturb the prayers of the tribe, but quietly left and moved along the forest illuminated by the moonlight, just like a pilgrim.
Under the watchful eyes of Diakum and other elves, they reached a high ground when dawn came, took out the scrolls and bathed in the sunshine, singing and calling.
Then, as everyone watched in surprise, the wind in the forest turned into the illusion of a huge golden Devilsaur under the sunlight. It stood in front of these Dark Troll who worshiped the sun, accepted their praises, and enjoyed the sacrifices and Consecration they brought.
Before Devilsaur, who was obviously a Loa, left, it roared loudly, calling for the hot sunshine to shine down, sharing it with its believers like a blessing.
This scene made Vigilant blink in surprise.
That end is Devilsaur. Is it Rezan?
No!
At this point in time, Rezan is just a cub, right?
Zandalari Troll calls it the "Dragon Mother and Son" in Rezan's Loa Holy Song. So, this giant Devilsaur bathed in the sun should be Rezan's mother "Sun Dragon Mother Xibala"?
Indeed, the legendary Zandalari paladins who use Holy Light energy all worship Rezan. They are Divine Warrior of Rezan, and can naturally use the "sun" power of Rezan.
Ah, he should have thought of it earlier!
Diakum moved his fingers,
Zandalari Troll has always had a belief in the "sun", but before Rezan officially became the royal family Loa, this belief was no different from other Loa beliefs, so it was ignored.
Dark Troll comes from the Troll Empire. It is not surprising that there are followers of mother Rezan among them. As we all know, Loa Priest are of noble status, and Sunstrider family had great influence at the beginning of the establishment of the Elven Empire.
Origin These events happened at exactly the same time period, and the Sunstrider elves' belief in the sun comes from Dark Troll's worship of the "Sun Dragon Mother".
Although it is not certain whether Rezan and its mother, who has long since fallen and whose bones formed a huge island, know the existence of "An'she", they do control the power of the sun, just like Sun God Rukhmar of Arakkoa!
Therefore, Kael'thas and his ancestors were actually believers of An'she, the Sun God from the beginning.
It is only because of the hostility between the elves and Trolls that they can no longer worship Loa God, which symbolizes the sun. Therefore, they only retain the tradition of worshiping the sun, which prevents the sun belief from spreading among the elves.
But they are indeed "seeds".
If you think about it carefully, the Quel'dorei elves' love and respect for the sun really permeates every corner of their tribe. Even when Dath'Remar Sunstrider creates magical wonders, they have to name them "Sunwell".
Thinking further, considering the elves' "Ibu Constitution", the iconic long golden hair among Sin'dorei and their brighter skin than other elves, perhaps it is not just the influence of Sunwell's magic power.
Perhaps this change in appearance is also related to their "belief".
Quel'dorei people claim that they do not believe in gods, but they do worship the sun.
Even if it is only among the "pan-believers", this long-lasting worship that has lasted for more than 10,000 years has still brought them a unique evolution.
"They are Children of the Sun!"
Ms. Vilara exclaimed:
"They were, Dick, from the very beginning. You did not bring Kael'thas to Path of the Sun. This is a "return" for Sunstrider, a return to the roots!
They are a group of children who have been lost for more than 10,000 years and have finally returned to the embrace of their original faith."
"No, it's not!"
The devout Lord Holy Light Follower Vondelor sounded excited and even jumped on his feet and shouted:
"We are elves! We have been elves from the beginning! How could our ancestor be Trolls. God, this is so blasphemous! This must be some kind of vicious illusion. I know, this must be a vicious dream compiled by the evil Old God!
The purpose is to crush the proud spirit of the Sin'dorei elf with his vicious thoughts.
We have nothing to do with Trolls!"
"You can fool other people, they are just too lazy to expose it, but don't fool yourself, elf!"
Ms. Vilara As an older educator, she despises this kind of "self-deception". She scolded:
"Although I haven't been in Azeroth for a long time, I have also read the research of dwarven archaeologists on this, and even personally checked the ancient inscriptions preserved by Trolls. The fact that Dark Troll is the predecessor of elves is correct history, and even your World Mother admits this.
And please be sober, the fact of faith revealed by this illusion is very important to Sin'dorei who is currently in the "Magic Addiction quagmire"!
Not only must you admit this illusion, but you must also study Origin among Trolls in your belief in the sun. This can better help you establish "Sun State Religion"."
"But this is a vicious statement!"
Vondelor Your Excellency still accepted it somewhat, he covered his eyes and scolded:
"I firmly do not admit it! We can always find other ways to solve Magic Addiction, yes, I do not admit these. If the people know this, then what will happen to our thousands of years of struggle with Amani Troll?
Barbaric Trolls is a ridiculous civil war to grab territory?
No!
Not so.
You can't do this, it will shake the foundation of civilization."
Such an argument quickly turned into a quarrel, and even Queen Lanathel got involved, which made Ms. Vilara completely blind. She felt that the "problems" of these elves really needed to be cured.
After seeing the truth more than 10,000 years ago, why are you still covering your eyes and refusing to admit your biological relationship with Trolls?
Trolls What happened?
Trolls is World's Eldest Child!
They have done much better than you elves over the years. Even Supreme Star Soul has acknowledged Trolls's achievements. You elves really are.
"Kael'thas, your people are arguing over the "Illusion of the Sun Origin" you saw."
Diakum stepped forward, calling out to the spirit of Sun King who was "lost" here.
Kael'thas looked back at Saint, his eyes full of helplessness and exhaustion, and he said softly:
"I don't know what to do anymore, Diakum the Saint, I witnessed Origin of our sun faith, but I can't persuade myself to accept this truth.
I know that Zandalari Tribe still worships Rezan and Divine Warrior. Do we have to regain our old beliefs and lead the elves to worship the "Sun Devilsaur"?
This is too.
No!
I can't do this."
"You're just stuck in the formalism Mental Attrition."
Dick said with some irony:
"So what if your ancestors were Loa Priest who worshiped the Dragon Mother Shibala? More than ten thousand years of evolution and hostility have already made you and Trolls two lives. All you have to do is to regain your ancestors' will to worship the sun, but it does not mean that you really have to bring Sin'dorei back to the Trolls people's way of life.
Besides, Zandalari Troll worship Rezan, they don't worship the sun directly.
Those are some "second-hand believers" whose understanding of Sun Doctrine is not as good as yours.
In this regard, you are the pioneers.
These histories may not be made public, but it is a good thing for the Sin'dorei elves to understand their own Origin, which will help the establishment of Sun State Religion."
"That's all it can do."
Kael'thas looked sadly at those Dark Trolls who were kneeling before the Sun Dragon Mother in the illusion.
He knew that it was the ancestor of Sunstrider family, but at this moment he really couldn't complain.
Ancestors, look at your Trolls faces. How can I engage in diplomacy with Zandalari Trolls in the future? Aren't you born to be dwarfs?
But Kael'thas cares about the people after all. When following Diakum away from this illusion that made him "Mental Attrition", he asked:
"When Lordaeron saw you using "Anse's Solar Fist" to gather the light and heat of Mortal realm, I have been thinking about a question. In fact, being trapped in this illusion is not that I cannot leave, but that I need to calm down to get an answer."
"Huh?"
Diakum looked back at Kael'thas, Sun King asked softly:
"If the symbol of the sun differentiates the concepts of light and fire, does it prove that "sunlight", which is full of light and heat at the same time, is also a kind of energy?
If sunlight is also a kind of energy that can be manipulated, can my people's Magic Addiction be alleviated by directly absorbing sunlight?
That obsession is essentially just a desire for energy, right?"
This question made Vigilant stop and made Ms. Vilara turn around in surprise. The other elves looked at Sun King with dumbfounded eyes.
They wondered if Sun King was driven crazy by the pressure?
Directly draw sunlight to relieve Magic Addiction?
Aren't you just letting the people drink from the northwest wind?
Hey, everyone was praising you as a virtuous king just now! But then you turn around and do this?
But Vigilant didn't think this was a fantasy. He thought seriously for a moment, nodded and said:
"Maybe, but just sunlight won't work. You have to use some medium."
"Faith?"
Kael'thas rubbed his eyes and said:
"Use some kind of magic to turn sunlight into "Solar Energy" that can be absorbed. Well, let's consider this as Sun State Religion's first priority to study. This is destined to take a long time. In order to ensure that the people can survive the moment of hope brought by Solar Divine Arts, we have to use some more immediate methods.
Perhaps, it is time to contact other elves to solve the problem of Suramar.
I don't care if Elisande continues her miserable dictatorship, but Arcandor Holy Tree belongs to all elves, and she is not qualified to exclusively enjoy the sacred object of Queen Azshara.
We want to get back our share of Legacy from the ruins of the Elven Empire.
Even if I have to fight "Holy Tree War" for this!"

The sun Devilsaur is as follows:
