"It is indeed Eldre'Thalas." Aaron said with emotion after seeing the familiar building.
Compared with ten thousand years later, the environment around Eldre'Thalas is more vibrant. This change should have a lot to do with Princess Earth Elemental. In addition, Night Elf has not planted World Tree here at this time, so Aaron really didn't realize that he was heading to Eldre'Thalas along the way.
Different from the original environment, Eldre'Thalas is currently in its most prosperous state. Although this city is essentially just Azshara's private library, the advanced Arcane level of the Kaldorei Empire still gives this city an extraordinary scale and magnificent architecture.
Aaron Only then did he realize that the ruins of Eldre'Thalas ten thousand years later were only a part of the city. In fact, the city was much larger. Moreover, he also realized that this city originally had many magic-made miracles as decorations, but the decline of ten thousand years had caused these landscapes to be washed away by time.
"In comparison, the atmosphere of this city is quite good. It reminds me of Nar'thalas, but the academic atmosphere there is stronger. As for here..." Azuregos seems to be very professional. He gave his own opinion. This Blue Dragonflight has traveled to several Night Elf cities, so he naturally has a say in this. After thinking for a while, he said, "This city is more bookish."
Aaron looked at Azuregos in surprise, as if he had met him on the first day. Thinking about it carefully, as a Blue Dragonflight, it is normal for Azuregos to have this kind of knowledge, but his endless behavior along the way greatly lowered his impression in Aaron's mind.
Vereesa didn't think much about it. Like Aaron, she had seen Eldre'Thalas ten thousand years later with her own eyes. She was filled with wonder at the comparison, "Eldre'Thalas shouldn't be the most prosperous city, right? I don't know what Zin-Azshari will be like."
As a descendant of the Kaldorei Empire, Vereesa is still very interested in the cities built by the ancestors of this era. At least the Eldre'Thalas in front of him is not smaller than Silvermoon City in terms of scale. As for the specific differences, given the completely different styles of the two cities, Vereesa cannot tell the difference for a while.
"This city is far behind Zin-Azshari." Azuregos probably wanted to show off his knowledge, "Even I have to admit that the speed of development of your mortal race, although it borrows the power of Well of Eternity, is still worthy of praise."
After finishing speaking, he seemed to still have some unfinished thoughts. Azuregos added, "If you want to go to Zin-Azshari, you can use the teleportation gate here. Although the teleportation technology you have developed is still a bit rudimentary, it can at least save you from the hardship of trekking."
Aaron rolled his eyes and thought there was no need to say this kind of thing again. Of course they had to use the portal when they chose to come here. Azuregos just wanted to take the opportunity to say a few more words, right?
However, when Aaron and the others inquired about the location of the teleportation gate from the residents in the city, they received unexpected news: not long ago, Prince Tortheldrin ordered the temporary closure of the teleportation gate, cutting off the communication between Eldre'Thalas and Zin-Azshari.
"What is going on?" Aaron scratched his head. His first reaction was that Burning Legion had already called, so Prince Tortheldrin gave this order. However, according to the residents in the city, the portal is still there, but ordinary people are not allowed to use it.
"Maybe it's maintenance. It's normal for your simple technology to have problems." Azuregos had an expression on his face that I had seen many times before, and he was not surprised.
What Aaron was thinking was, could this be the influence of Infinite Dragonflight? Normally speaking, this kind of decision is probably the decision of Zin-Azshari, but why would the good Zin-Azshari cut off the connection with here? It would make sense if Infinite Dragonflight had mixed into the upper level of Night Elf.
According to Chromie, Infinite Dragonflight is trying to change the historical direction of this time and space. The protagonists of this time and space are of course Night Elf. If they want to change history, the easiest way is to let other cities not know what happened to Zin-Azshari, so that they can wait until the leader of the Burning Legion falls to Titans Sargeras arrived successfully instead of being stopped midway.
Aaron The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this was possible. After thinking for a long time, I decided to find the person in charge of Eldre'Thalas, that is, Prince Tortheldrin. It would be fine if the other party could be persuaded. I couldn't say If you accept it, Aaron decided that even if you hold the other party hostage, you still have to go to Zin-Azshari. What if Sargeras has already arrived at this time? You must go and confirm the situation.
The process of finding Prince Tortheldrin was simpler than Aaron expected. This has something to do with Eldre'Thalas's positioning. Whose librarian would not allow people to meet him?
However, when they met, Prince Tortheldrin's performance was beyond Aaron's expectations. Prince Tortheldrin, who was still dressed as a serious mage, even had his eyes flashing when he saw Aaron and his party.
"He is looking at Azuregos." Vereesa's observation ability is still better than Aaron's, and he whispered to Aaron.
"What's going on? Could it be..." Aaron had a guess in his mind, and Prince Tortheldrin's performance also confirmed this. He said that you want to investigate Zin-Azshari's anomalies. It seems that this guy actually knows that Azuregos is Blue Dragonflight, and he also has a certain understanding of Blue Dragonflight's responsibilities.
But think about Shandaral and those Night Elf who once asked Blue Dragonflight for help when they couldn't resist the addiction. Maybe this kind of knowledge is considered common sense among the Kaldorei Empire in this era, or at least among the upper classes?
The existence of Azuregos caused Prince Tortheldrin to misunderstand the intentions of Aaron and his party. Aaron had no intention of explaining it here. He felt that this misunderstanding would be conducive to the next step of the plan.
More importantly, Prince Tortheldrin himself also noticed that Zin-Azshari's situation was abnormal. It seemed that if Aaron and the others arrived later, he would go to Zin-Azshari first. After some misunderstandings occurred, he even tried his best to invite Aaron and the others to go with them.
"So, Prince Tortheldrin also noticed this?" Aaron rubbed his chin, thoughtfully. It seems that Farondis is not the only one who noticed Azshara's abnormality, but there is really only one person as reckless as him.
"You want to investigate the anomalies in the Queen's palace, for example, if you want to find a way to enter the palace, follow me and you will be able to enter naturally." Prince Tortheldrin didn't know what Aaron was thinking, so he just pretended that he was still hesitant and continued to persuade.
Aaron and the three of them briefly discussed and decided to agree. By the way, Azuregos also realized that something was wrong with the situation at this time. As a member of Blue Dragonflight, he was definitely going to Zin-Azshari to have a look. Prince Tortheldrin's idea was no longer a complete misunderstanding.
