Azeroth Shadow Trail

  Chapter 1793 19. Elune lowers authority and I will take over the audience! Now, shout out the name of Lord Moon Shadow.

   The whole of Suramar was quiet except for the noisy pacifying banquet that night, but there was also a lot going on in the city.

For example, on the high tower outside the city pier that Blake has paid attention to, a meeting initiated by the great nobles and leaders in the city has just come to an end, and the participants who are a little tired from many days of negotiation are here. Taking a short break in the outer ring of the dome of the tower.

   This meeting has been open for a long time, even for the elves, but it has not reached a conclusion that can reassure everyone.

   "The moonlight is a little strange tonight."

  The high priests of Elune gathered on a domed platform in the Tower of Darkness. They prayed to the moonlight to relieve their fatigue, but soon an old priest noticed the change of the moon tonight.

   He said to his companions around him:

   "Maybe it's my illusion, but within ten minutes just now, the phases of the moon have changed three times, which may be a warning from the moon god.

   Combined with the discussions of previous meetings, it made me feel very uneasy. "

   "If I were you, it might be a little early to feel uneasy."

   Another high priest shook his head, she retorted, but not sarcastically, this priest is Lady Diana, the administrator of the Sisterhood of Elune in Suramar.

   She did not look up at the moon, but stood by the ornate railing and looked at the night view of Suramar not far away.

  Although the city is full of prosperity, like a bright pearl reflected by the stars and moon on the earth, there is still an indescribable sadness in this priestess's eyes.

She looked out along the central axis of the gorgeous city below. Outside the main city, the small towns scattered on the Suramar Great Plain were like "star rings" guarding the city, and they also radiated in the dark night. bright light.

   But it wasn't magic light.

That is the light of the Arcandor tree planted in those towns that draws magic in the dark night, that strange tree shaped by Queen Azshara's supreme wisdom is a real miracle, its appearance makes The moon priests, who have always been wary of arcane magic, were amazed.

   "Alas, the once holy place."

   The high priestess sighed.

   The city in her eyes was far from the Holy Land of Elune in her memory. Thousands of years ago, this city was still the base for the priestesses of Elune to spread the glory of the Moon God.

   But like the blink of an eye, Suramar is now more and more magnificent in the shape of the magic casters, but also farther and farther away from the glory of Elune.

  The city is still on the land of the past, but the people here are no longer the people they used to be.

"You heard it just now, the mages are going to build a magic well here imitating the Well of Eternity, which is an order from Queen Azshara, and the great arcanists have dug the main body underground, just waiting for Elisan De put the queen's treasure into it.

   Once that magic well is established here, its resonance with the Well of Eternity and the cities where the other magic princes sit will be enough to flood the Empire with arcane light.

  The people's use of magic will reach new heights, and we will be seen as a symbol of backwardness, just as what happened in Xin Azali a hundred years ago is repeated. "

   The priestess said softly:

   "Elysander is politely urging us to leave Suramar, my brother. Val'sharah is also ready to accept us, and Luna is about to lose his dazzling pearl.

  They gave us a decent exit, and enough money to repair the ancient temple of Val'sharah, maybe it's time for us to leave too. "

   The words of the priestess silenced the surrounding comrades.

  These followers of Elune's glory are not timid, but no amount of courage at this moment can resist the torrent of the times.

The Sisters of Elune have lost Sin Azali, and now they will lose Suramar. Perhaps in hundreds of years, the faith in the moon **** will stop in areas beyond the reach of arcane magic, only in the empire's The fringes linger.

   "Don't be so pessimistic, my sister."

   The old priest who spoke first was not in despair. He patted the railing and said to the other priests:

   "Didn't the Queen allow us to keep the temple? Even in Sin Azali, who has abused magic, we still have our temple, and there are still some believers who are willing to follow Elune.

  Magic may be the main theme of this era, but I am convinced that Elune's brilliance will never dissipate from the elves.

   We should persevere.

   Having said that, I have to mention again, have you really been unable to contact the temple of Xin Azali? "

"cannot."

   The high-ranking priestess shook her head and said with a serious expression:

   "Since three days ago, we have completely cut off our contact with Xin Asari, and even Ms. Elune's magic can no longer contact the companions in the capital.

   Didn't Elisande say it just now? Their magic was also blocked.

   Now no one knows what happened to Zin Azsali, and the mages say they have detected strong fluctuations in the Well of Eternity, stronger than any magical fluctuation in the past thousands of years.

   They speculated that there was a wave in the Well of Eternity, but I doubt it.

   There were also huge energy fluctuations that came from the direction of Azsuna a few hours ago. The terrible energy fluctuations made us clergy feel trembling. "

  The priestess stopped, and she said sadly:

   "I'm upset, brothers and sisters, it seems like something terrible has happened, it's beyond our expectations, we probably should"

   "Priests! Priests! Come in!"

   Just when the priests of the moon were discussing the latest mutation, the attendant teleportation technique from the great magus appeared in the streamer. She neatly adjusted her sleeves and said to the priests of the moon:

   "The Great Magister summoned everyone to the conference hall. There is a new situation, and we have obtained important information from the Azsuna area. In addition, please be prepared to meet the nobles."

"Um?"

   This extra reminder made several high-ranking priests look at each other in surprise, and the high priest of the moon who was sitting in the local area asked back in doubt:

   "To meet the nobles? Did the Queen come in person?"

   "No, it is not our supreme light of the thousand moons, but His Majesty the Emperor from another kingdom."

  The attendant explained very seriously:

   "It is said that the emperor witnessed everything that happened in Azsuna with his own eyes, and he also brought magic items to record the incident. In short, the Grand Magister asked everyone to go to the conference room as quickly as possible."

After   , the attendant hesitated.

   She glanced at the Moon God emblem in the hands of the priests, and remembered that she and her family were also sincere believers of the Moon God a few years ago. Under some kind of guilt-like emotion, she reminded in a low voice:

   "That His Majesty has not brought good news, everyone, be prepared. In addition, the news has been sent to Lord Ravencrest, and he has already set off for Suramar."

   "The big lord was also disturbed?"

   Several moon priests looked at each other, and they all felt the seriousness of the problem.

  Lord Kutalos Ravencrest is a true vassal of Queen Azshara, and the Moon Guard and Ranger Legion under his command at Black Rook Keep are an important military force guarding the capital.

   In terms of the division of the administrative system, Lord Ravencrest is even higher than the magic princes who sit outside. No matter how smoky the queen's luxurious court is now, Ravencrest is still the same as the pillar.

   Even the newly-appointed Lord Xavius, who relied on his lip service and the favor of the Queen, did not dare to confront Lord Ravencase head-on in the courtroom.

   In addition to being the commander-in-chief of the army, that lord is also the lord of Black Rook Keep and Suramar. What happened here can alarm him, which is enough to prove the importance of the event at this time.

  The priests did not dare to delay any longer, and they quickly entered the meeting hall under the guidance of their attendants.

The conference hall of this meeting has been closed. Except for the great magister Elisande, who is in charge of Suramar's magical affairs, there are only Sir Moonshire and a few great nobles, as well as the captain of the moon guard in the local moon guard fortress. Lord Kutalos Ravencrest is represented here on behalf of his allegiance.

   After the high priests entered the chamber, the door to the building was closed immediately, and as they took their seats, Elisande, wearing a very "Highborne style" robe, rose to his feet.

   The great magus, who was trusted by the Queen, coughed, her beautiful face and fair skin shimmering under the magic light, which proved her identity.

   She is a proud member of the Highborne who follow the Queen.

   But at this moment, the high-level elf leader who had always been arrogant had a very serious expression on her face, and she said to everyone:

"The news of the pandaren Emperor Shaohao of Pandaria entering the Elf Empire has already been known to everyone. We received a message from Erethras two days ago, and Prince Torsedrin asked us to do a good job in hosting foreign countries. The emperor's preparations, and just an hour ago, the emperor appeared in a small town outside Suramar.

   He brought us terrible news. "

   Having said this, the great magus who has always imitated the queen in every way could no longer maintain her calm expression. She pursed her lips and said softly:

   "Azuna is finished.

  The city of Nar'Thalas and the magic prince Pharodis, who guarded it, were destroyed, and the Empire lost an important city and hundreds of thousands of people overnight. "

   This news shocked everyone in the entire conference hall to stand up in unison, and the noble Moon County Sir in Suramar even accidentally snapped his beautiful beard that he was proud of.

   His eyes flashed with horror, and he asked:

"What caused it? Invasion? Or. Magic out of control? I remember that the city of Nar'Thalas was built on a magic node in the Azsuna Mountains, and recently that city, like Suramar, provides Zin Azsali with magic. ."

   This question did not get an immediate answer. The Great Magister looked at everyone's eyes. She was mulling words. After a few seconds, she shook her head, feeling that she still couldn't tell the terrible truth.

   She sat back in her luxurious chair a little tired and uneasy, waved her hand, and said to the others:

   "Let Your Majesty Shaohao tell everyone in person, but I would like to remind everyone that tonight's events, whether true or false, must be shut up!

   No one is allowed to discuss this privately with anyone else until High Lord Ravencrest arrives and makes a decision!

   I have ordered the Tower of Night to enter martial law.

   No one is allowed to leave until the matter is resolved! "

   This order made the others look at each other in dismay, and the high-ranking priests of the Moon God were even more fluctuated in their hearts. They thought of the strangely changing moon phase tonight, and an even more terrifying ominous premonition rose in their hearts.

   In such mood swings, Emperor Shaohao, who was escorted by a team of magic swordsmen, walked into the hall with his ruthless demigod guard, the Monkey King.

   The young emperor was amazed at the construction art of the elves. The city of Suramar was almost the most gorgeous and prosperous city he had ever seen, but at this moment Shaohao was no longer in the mood to savor the beauty of this city.

   There was a rage in his heart that could not be dissipated, which filled him with the icy majesty that an emperor should have.

   "Are the people here credible? Your Excellency the Great Magister."

  Emperor Shaohao asked a question in standard Sarasian language, the Great Magister nodded and promised:

   "I can assure you, Your Majesty, that no one here will divulge what they are about to hear."

   "Very well, then I'll stop talking politely."

The    Pandaren Emperor turned his head and said to everyone who was staring at him:

"Your Empress, Her Majesty Azshara, known as the Light of the Thousand Moons and the Light of Light, destroyed Azsuna and the city of Nar'Thalas tonight, she used the power of the Well of Eternity to destroy the Pillar of Creation, the Tide Stone, and cursed the land with the titan energy escaping from it.

   She personally killed hundreds of thousands of people who were loyal to her just because those people wanted to save her.

   Your queen has gone mad.

   She has been engulfed in a dark fantasy, and a prophetic friend I met on the journey told me that there was a terrible massacre in your capital, Zin Azsali.

  The demons from the Twisting Nether, on the orders of Queen Azshara, slaughtered all the night elves in the city who were not high elves!

   That's why you can't get in touch with Asari Shin!

   Your queen condoned and led that carnage. "

   "Shut up! Pandaren!"

Sir    Moonshire abruptly stood up, and he yelled loudly:

   "How dare you slander our supreme queen in front of a high-level elf noble! How dare you! Great Magister, this is not an emperor of a foreign race at all.

this is a.

   This is a shameful beast with a mane, he's deceiving us! "

"Ha ha"

  Emperor Shaohao didn't explain anything at all. He threw a Philosopher's Stone that recorded Azsuna's tragic situation to Sir Moon County, and turned to look at the whispering Moon Priests.

He says:

   "Pray to the moon gods, priests, the moonlight will let you see the truth. Lady Elune witnessed the tragedy, and I am sure your gods will tell you the truth."

   Several high priests look at me, I look at you, and finally, under the leadership of the high priest of the moon, who sits in the local area, they began to silently pray to Elune.

   At the same time, Blake, who was quietly telling Maiev the story in the Moon Temple, blinked.

   He heard the prayers of the priests of the moon, he smiled, and conveyed everything he had seen to them in the form of an "oracle".

   The next moment, in the meeting room of the Tower of Darkness, several priests of the moon who received a clear oracle stood up instantly, and they were all horrified.

  God projected everything that happened in Azsuna into the minds of the priests from his perspective, as well as the brief but incomparable dialogue between Queen Azshara and Prince Farodis.

   All this sent a terrible message to the priests.

   The Pandaren Emperor in front of her is telling the truth, the supreme Queen Azshara has gone mad, and she has reached an agreement with the dark power of destruction, and she will clean up all rebels who disobey her.

   She only wants to keep the "high elves" she thinks perfect in the "New World", and the followers of Luna who have been resisting magic are also the targets for Queen Azshara and her dark allies to clear.

   "Prepare for battle, followers of the moon."

   Black's voice echoed in the ears of these sincere priests, like the dark phases of the moon shining brightly, he said:

   "The war has begun."

   "In the name of Elune and the Shadow of the Moon, you will fight for yourselves."
