Chapter 660 The Well Of Eternity And Demonic Addiction
The raid by the priestesses went very smoothly, which relieved Levin, who was on standby, from having to be so tense and ready to take action at any time. When he is free, he will inevitably have wild imaginations.
There is actually a reason why Queen Azshara and the upper elves turned to the demons and split from the lower night elves.
Deep in the continent of Azeroth, Zin-Azshari's Well of Eternity is like a beating heart, continuously pumping out rich arcane magic.
For the Highborne who rely on its power, it is both a gift and a constraint. They must bathe in this magic regularly to maintain their strength and condition. Being away from the Well of Eternity, even for a short period of time, will make them feel an indescribable fatigue, as if their vitality has been quietly withdrawn.
Most Highborne are confused by this feeling, blaming it on various causes without ever really getting to the heart of the matter.
However, Levin, a time traveler, has a deep understanding of this. He clearly knew that that feeling of fatigue and the desire for magic was actually a disease called "magic addiction".
After living in an environment with high concentrations of magic for a long time, the upper elf's body has formed a close connection with this power. Their blood, bones, and even souls have been deeply infiltrated by the magic of the Well of Eternity. Once out of the nourishment of this power, their bodies will wither like flowers that have lost their moisture. That kind of uncontrollable withdrawal reaction will not only cause their combat effectiveness to drop significantly, but will also put their physical and mental state into a serious crisis.
Once they are separated from the magical nourishment of the Well of Eternity, they will gradually develop an uncontrollable withdrawal reaction. Not only will their combat effectiveness drop significantly, but their physical and mental states will be severely affected.
Therefore, these powerful magic sources, whether they are the Well of Eternity, the Sun Well or the Night Well, are the main culprits that corrupt the will of the elves.
In fact, throughout the history of Azeroth, these highborne elves and their descendants have been fighting against the Shadow.
Whether they are high elves or children of the night, they cannot escape the shackles of this fate. Even those Syndra who once tried to eliminate their addiction to demons by absorbing their evil energy, and the Shandara high-level elves who were tortured to madness by the demonic pain and finally provoked the blue dragon, were not spared.
After losing the source of magic from the Well of Eternity, all descendants of the Highborne were inevitably addicted to magic. This desire and dependence on magic is like a black hole that cannot be filled, constantly devouring their will and strength.
However, the high elves and the nightborne did not sit still and wait for death. After the high elves traveled east, they relied on Dath'Rema to steal the water from the Well of Eternity and create ten new sources of magic and west - the Sunwell.
The Nightborne of Suramar created a night well through the Eye of Aman'Thul by the Grand Magister Elisande. Through these new sources of magic, they temporarily maintained their power and eased their addiction to magic.
However, this approach is just drinking poison to quench thirst. Future history proves to Levin that once they lose their source of magic, both the children of the night and the high elves will fall back into an addiction that is difficult to quit. The power and glory they once had will gradually disappear with the onset of addiction.
Therefore, from a certain perspective, Guowen agrees with Malfurion's approach of destroying the Eternal Use.
He believes that this does not mean that without the Well of Eternity, it is impossible to delve into the arcane arts, and to defend family, country and all of Azeroth - the future human mages directly prove this point. However, after losing the free source of magic power, their progress will definitely be much slower than in the past. But this price is for getting rid of the shackles of addiction and for true freedom and independence.
Of course, Levin's approval of the destruction of the Well of Eternity ≠ his desire for this mysterious source of magic to cease to exist.
He knew that although the existence of this power was tempting, it also came with huge risks. It would be best if when Malfurion decided to destroy the Well of Eternity, Levin could find another way to help them solve this big trouble without causing new disasters.
Levin's eyes stared at the battle of the stable in the distance, which was gradually settling down. His thoughts kept wandering, and finally turned to the origin of the Well of Eternity, and murmured to himself: "The life essence of the Titan Star Soul...'[. .."
Tyrande next to her heard Levin's whisper, turned her head curiously and asked: "Essence of Life? What does this mean?"
Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered the jokes Levin had told her before, and punched Levin in the chest coquettishly [feigning anger: "You are not talking about the essence of life!"
Levin saw Tyrande's reaction and immediately understood that the other party had misunderstood what he meant. He quickly waved his hand and explained: "I'm not, I didn't, you're overthinking."
He regretted a little. On the way, in order to tease this simple night elf girl, he told her those harsh jokes.
Now it seems that these jokes have left her with a misunderstanding.
This is thanks to the fact that the atmosphere of the night elves still contains some of the simplicity and toughness of the troll era. If placed in a more civilized society, his behavior of telling dirty jokes to a girl he has only known for a few days would definitely be regarded as a hooligan. .
But in Tyrande's case, it just caused the opponent's jealousy.
Of course, the charm of Chinese language also allowed him to avoid the bad impression caused by talking nonsense to a certain extent.
There is a saying that goes well, beautiful women are right in everything they do - this principle is the same for handsome men.
Levin shook his head slightly and brought his thoughts back to the situation at hand. He sighed and changed the subject: "Now is not the time to think about other things. The moon guards outside the city should have heightened their vigilance. We must also make all preparations to meet the next challenge."
As Maiev roamed the stable to support her, her elite combat priests quickly and decisively cleared the scene.
Their movements were quick and orderly, showing extremely high combat literacy and tacit cooperation.
After the battle, High Priest Dejana led a group of priests to the animal pen and began to treat the injuries of Maiev and others. Maiev frowned and looked at the blood stain on her left shoulder scratched by the arcane missile, feeling the healing power of the high priest slowly flow into her body.
"They are indeed the most elite battle mage unit under Queen Azshara," Maiev sighed. "In such a desperate situation of being attacked by a sneak attack, they can still show such a tenacious fighting will."
Levin nodded in agreement. If it weren't for Maiev's initial surprise attack and subsequent mysterious support on the battlefield, it would have been hard to predict the outcome of the head-on confrontation.
"Gugu~"
At this moment, a gray owl descended from the sky and landed lightly on Nasa's outstretched left arm.
After observing the situation outside the city through the eyes of the beast, Nasa frowned and said: "Your Excellency the High Priest, Lord Maiev, the moon guards outside the city have begun to gather at the mountain pass. Do we really want to break through from the front? In that case, this battle may not be as easy as before."
After Dejana bandaged her wound, Maiev nodded firmly: "...If you want to leave Lasalle Raza, there is only one way to go. We have been mentally prepared, no matter what we will face next, No matter what the challenge, we must move forward bravely.”
"Then," Levin volunteered, "let me help join the fight this time."
"Then me too..." Seeing Levin standing up so decisively, Tyrande didn't trust him to go alone. She took a step forward, straightened her back, and was ready to express her wish. Determination to join the fight together:
"No." However, Levin raised his head and stopped her from speaking: "Tylande, you stay and act with the high priest."
Seeing the girl puffing up her mouth and showing an unconvinced expression, Levin couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He walked up to Tyrande and said softly: "Do you still remember our previous reconnaissance of Lasallaza? You are the only person besides me who understands the terrain and conditions there. Your mission is very important. You have to lead Let the ordinary priests of the sisterhood stay away from the battlefield and find a safe place to hide temporarily. Only in this way can we break through with all our strength without worries. Once we successfully break through, we will meet you immediately."
Listening to Levin's explanation, Tyrande gradually understood his intentions. Although she wanted to fight side by side with Levin, she also knew that in the current situation, following Levin's arrangements was the best choice.
"But..." Tyrande couldn't help but hesitate after hearing Levin's arrangement. She had obviously been very eloquent when discussing countermeasures before, but now she seemed a little unconfident. She looked at Nasa next to her and said with some hesitation: "Can I really do it? How about letting sister Nasa lead the team..."
When Nasa heard Tyrande's words, she smiled and shook her head. [013503111 Feilu 211271071]
She walked up to Tyrande, patted her shoulder gently, and encouraged: "Tylander, you have to believe in yourself. As Mr. Levin said, you are the most suitable candidate. You have excellent leadership skills. And familiarity with the terrain, these are all we need.
High Priest Dejana also came over. She touched Tyrande's hair kindly and said softly: "My child, you have already experienced something like this once in Suramar, haven't you? At that time, you did Very good, I have led everyone to a safe place. Now, you must be able to do it. Treat us as civilians of Suramar, and use your wisdom and courage to protect us. Don't live up to your potential, and don't live up to... ……………”
She did not continue, but Caiwen knew what the high priest wanted to say.
Dejana's affirmative words gave Tyrande courage again.
She nodded heavily, straightened her back, and nodded firmly: "I understand, thank you to the high priest for your enlightenment. I will try my best to do it."
