According to Mordent, although the energy provided by Immol'thar is increasingly insufficient to meet the needs of all the elves in Eldre'Thalas, the Fel provided by this giant demon is still the main source of energy for Shen'dralar Ancients.
Now that Immol'thar is dead, Shen'dralar Ancients really can't find a suitable energy source for a while. In the short term, it can still rely on the previously stored energy for emergencies, but as time goes by, I'm afraid it won't be able to hold on anymore.
Aaron asked, "How long can you hold on?"
Aaron has a deep understanding of the time concept of immortal species such as elf dragons. Although Mordent said that they can not persist for a long time, Aaron is not sure how long this short time is. If it is For a year and a half, Aaron just thought of going to Broken Isles to ask Farodin if Arcan'dor could solve this problem. If so, then things would be simple.
"In terms of time..." Mordent lowered his head and thought for a while, then gave an answer, "If you save a little, it should still last half a month."
"Half a month..." Aaron frowned. This time is indeed not long, even from the perspective of ordinary people like Aaron, it is too short.
"At present, there are two ways to solve your problem." Aaron thought for a while and said to Mordent, "The fastest way to get the best results is to find an energy source similar to Immol'thar or more powerful, but sooner or later you will not be able to hold on. The most fundamental solution is to eliminate your dependence on external energy."
"Do you have a way to solve our magic addiction?" Mordent looked at Aaron in surprise. The elves of Eldre'Thalas have all experienced the difficult years of losing the blessing of Well of Eternity, and are very aware of the dangers of their own magic addiction. If this problem can be solved from the root, it would be great, "What should we do?"
"This method has nothing to do with you," Aaron briefly said about Arcan'dor, and finally pointed out the problems that Arcan'dor may cause. "The key is that tree The technology of trees is not yet mature. If used rashly, there will be very serious sequelae, and it will take a long time for the trees to grow. The most important thing at the moment is to find a usable energy source. If you can't find it, you can only..."
"What can we do?" Mordent asked urgently.
"You can only overcome it with your will." Aaron spread his hands, "In the final analysis, addiction is a psychological problem. If you can rely on your will to overcome it, then there will be no problems."
According to the experience of High Elf in "Official History", after they lost the protection of Sunwell and before Kael'thas brought back the method of absorbing energy from demons, the High Elf persisted for a long time. I am afraid there was nothing but willpower to support them through this period of time.
However, some High Elf failed to survive. After the onset of addiction, their entire thinking was eroded by the desire for energy, and they eventually became Wretched who lost their minds.
"What if they can't survive?" Mordent also thought of this question. If they could survive the torture of addiction, why would they absorb Fel from Immol'thar?
"If you can't survive it, you will become a walking zombie who only knows how to find energy to satisfy your thirst for energy."
Vereesa said from the side, "We have seen elves in Broken Isles whose minds are taken over by magic addiction. It is really scary."
Then Vereesa gave Mordent a good description of the appearance of Withered transformed from Nightborne, especially describing the almost beastly behavior of Withered. For Highborne, who was from a noble family, it would be better to die directly if he became like that.
Mordent was frightened by the singing of Aaron and Vereesa, and hurriedly asked Aaron to come up with a solution as soon as possible.
"I'm also thinking about ways." Aaron does have several plans in his mind, but each of them has some problems. The most important thing at the moment is to find a source of energy that can continue to provide Shen'dralar Ancients as soon as possible.
The method of Nightfallen, who was exiled by Suramar, is very useful. They built corresponding facilities on the node of Ley Line to absorb the energy of Ley Line, and then According to Mordent's estimation, this method is time-consuming and labor-intensive but cannot be used on a large scale for the elves. The original Prince Farondis of Night Elf almost failed the old Blue Dragonflight Senegos's magic pool has been drained, which only solved the magic addiction problem for himself and a few of his cronies.
That is based on the fact that Broken Isles is close to Well of Eternity and Ley Line has relatively abundant energy. If this is done at Eldre'Thalas, the effect will definitely be worse.
"What other energy sources are available?" Aaron scratched his head in distress. If it were before Theradras was sent back to Elemental Plane, Aaron might have made an idea to From Princess Earth Elemental, the other party absorbed the vitality of a vast land, which would definitely be enough to provide energy for Shen'dralar Ancients for a long time. Unfortunately, now that energy can only be used to repair the damage suffered by Desolace.
Repeat Kalimdor, and the only energy source that is large enough is Night Elf, which World Tree people rely on for their livelihood. Nordrassil and the fake version Well of Eternity under the tree. Of course, with the blessing of the Dragon King above Nordrassil, as long as Shen'dralar Ancientss enter the range that Nordrassil can protect, this problem will be solved.
However, due to the grievances between Night Elf and Highborne, Night Elf may not welcome these Highborne compatriots, and Aaron can also lead Shen'dralar Ancients quietly went to that area and found a secret place to place these elves. However, as soon as the matter was exposed, Aaron was worried that he and these Shen'dralar Ancients would be killed by the angry Night Elf.
"I'd better go find a reliable person for consultation." Aaron ran through various ideas in his mind, but felt that none of them were very reliable. After thinking about it, he thought of a person who could be consulted. "I'm going to be away for a few days. When I come back, I may be able to give you a solution. But if there is no other way, then I have to see if your relatives are willing to accept you."
"How many days?" Mordent was skeptical of Aaron's statement. Although Prince Tortheldrin had previously told Aaron that Aaron could be trusted, but Mordent himself was not familiar with Aaron, and he was a little worried that this guy would just leave and never come back, but he didn't say it out loud, he just made up his mind that if Aaron didn't come back after a week, he would start to think of a solution on his own.
As for the plan proposed by Aaron to bow to Night Elf, Mordent subconsciously did not want to do it, but if it was absolutely necessary, he could only do it.
After discussing with Mordent what to do if he couldn't come back on time, Aaron took Vereesa and flew straight to the south on his mount.
