Chapter 1131 29. Elisande. The Final Choice--Add More for the Magician Fengyin Brothers [4/16]
Chapter 1131 29. Elisande. The final choice-adding more for the magician Fengyin brothers [416]
During the period of the Elven Empire, the country's system was co-ruled by nobles under the queen.
In other words, the elven kingdom under the rule of Queen Azshara is a real feudal lordship system, and the high elves of Quel'Thalas also inherited this system. Finally, the aristocratic system of the human empire, in most cases, In fact, it is also modeled on this system.
The entire country is managed by a large number of lords, and power is divided by blood.
As the most orthodox successor to the elven empire, the civilization system of the Nightborne elves almost completely extended the aristocratic system of Queen Azshara.
Among the Nightborne, Grand Magister Elisande is the undoubted ruler, because before the outbreak of the War of the Ancients, she was the governor of Suramar City appointed by Queen Azshara herself, and Elisande's family Although it has disappeared in time, the blood in her body is one of the most noble blood in the elf empire period.
Extending downwards, every lord and elder who is qualified to participate in the future discussion of the Nightborne is from a noble family, and even the chief arcanist Talisa, who cares most about the people, was born in a family of minor nobles It can be said that in the culture of the Nightborne, although the oppression of the common people by the nobles is not as naked as that of the nobles of the human empire, the common people still cannot talk about having any power.
When Suramar City restricted the supply of magic wine to stabilize the situation in the city, the lower class civilians could not get enough magic wine and lived in pain and weakness every day. Ms. Lilith Yuejun also held a In the grand banquet of the nobles, the best magic wine can be freely drunk, and even the lowest-ranking servants of her family don't need to worry about the control of magic wine falling on their heads.
Mrs. Avasta said frankly that the Syndra elves of the Federation might be the best choice for the Nightborne Civilization, but to be honest, if there were other options, she would never say this.
Because once the Children of the Night are included in the federal system, hundreds of thousands of civilians will indeed get a perfect future, but the price is... They nobles will be completely stripped of all their power, the inheritance, blood and glory they insist on , will become worthless.
These abstract things are worth maintaining for short-lived human nobles, let alone these real long-lived species. The concept of bloodline glory is a part of their souls, and it is difficult to be separated.
Although the federal government welcomes the races that are willing to join the federation, they absolutely do not allow the races to have complete autonomy. Even in the city of Lordaeron of the Syndra elves, it is not Syndra's 13 The Lord of Blood is the governor sent by the federal government. Although most of the people living in that city are Syndra elves, the city's management system was personally appointed by the Supreme Council of the Federation.
When the governor selects officials, he will not be influenced by factors such as "nobility" and "blood".
In other words, Modant Yongying and his brothers are just the spokesmen of racial civilization, not the rulers of the people.
And once the Nightborne enters that land, this will also be a problem that Grand Magister Elisande and other Nightborne lords will have to face. Should they sacrifice their own glory and bloodline in exchange for the future of the people? Or stick to the inheritance and sit back and watch the disaster of genocide continue?
This choice, for the rulers on this tower, can be said to be very difficult.
The seriousness and importance of this issue related to bloodline and inheritance made Miss Talisa, the chief arcanist who is the spokesperson for the common people, dare not speak easily. This wise lady knows very well that once she pierces through this Layers of window paper, the contradiction between survivalists and conservatives will become extremely sharp, and if this matter is not handled properly, the children of the night, who are already facing the final choice, will be destroyed in an instant at this critical moment of life and death. Usher in a civil unrest.
On the entire tower, there was silence, no one spoke, everyone was communicating with each other, the atmosphere became more and more tense, even like a battlefield full of murderous intent, and after several minutes, the great magister who had been silent Elisande sighed suddenly, and the great magister whispered:
"That's really a pity. It seems that the Federation is not the home of the Nightborne..."
After saying these words, the atmosphere in the entire tower suddenly relaxed, which meant that the great magister denied the possibility of choosing a federation, which made the nobles in the tower breathe a sigh of relief.
"Yeah, although the Federation is good, they are not suitable for us."
Magic Swordsman Aluriel said in a relaxed tone:
"Our people have already adapted to our system, and rash reforms are likely to cause more trouble, and even endanger the foundation of the Nightborne civilization."
"Well, what Aluriel said makes sense!"
"I also think so."
"Maybe humans have different opinions, but at least for the Nightborne elves, the existence of nobles is still necessary."
The nobles all agreed with the choice made by Elisande, and for a moment, the atmosphere of the meeting on the whole Gaodu became weirdly relaxed.
But in fact, apart from the background of the matter itself, Elisande's choice cannot be said to be wrong.
The concepts of long-lived species and short-lived species are completely different. The existence of nobles will inevitably breed terrible corruption and waste for the system of short-lived species, blocking the development of civilization of short-lived species, but for the long-lived species, the federation In fact, there is no obvious difference between the system of the nobles and the rule of the nobles. The social form of the longevity species is a typical "low desire" society. The nobles do not desire much. so sharp.
This can be seen from the country of Quel'Thalas that has lasted for 7,000 years... For the longevity species, the co-governance of nobles is not a manifestation of backwardness, it is just a form of civilization that is more suitable for them.
Of course, for the great magister Elisande, there is another factor that dominates her decision. Of course, she cannot speak out about her deal with the great lord Tyrion in public here.
Tyrion once promised her that as long as Elisande can fulfill the orders of the high lord, then Tyrion will give the Nightborne real "freedom".
A person of Tyrion's status would not easily make promises, but since he said so, it meant that the High Lord might really be able to solve the threat of magic addiction.
"But what shall we do now?"
The chief arcanist, Miss Talisa, is a practical person after all. The tone of this amazingly talented arcanist was a little anxious. She looked at those nobles who were relieved, and she was somewhat contemptuous, but to be honest, Inwardly, she also breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Talisa doesn't care about her noble status, she is even more unwilling to see the civil strife of the Nightborne at this critical moment, but the problem is that even if the federation is rejected, the troubles facing the Nightborne are still not resolved...they still At the critical moment of life and death, the rulers of these night children must also come up with a method.
"If the other elves cannot become the hope of the Nightborne, then where is our hope?"
Talisa said in a tone mixed with disappointment, pessimism and pain:
"Every day, every day, poor people are slipping towards the hell of the Withered because they can't get enough magic power. We should come up with a way... This is our duty and obligation!"
"We'll definitely find a way."
Ms. Magic Swordsman Aluriel muttered something, but Talisa immediately questioned her. Miss Arcanist asked in a stern tone:
"Then where is the method you said? Aluriel! If you have a way to save us, tell it, if not, shut up! I've had enough of your childishness!"
"What did you say?"
The young magic swordsman was irritated almost immediately by Talisa's scolding. She stood up, picked up the war blade in her hand, and glared at Talisa. The dispute was about to escalate, and a trace of disgust flashed across the face of the great magister Elisande:
"Enough! Let's fight!"
The great magister's order made the two young men who wanted to do it immediately cower.
Don't look at Ms. Elisande who hasn't fought with anyone for thousands of years, but her powerful strength is still enough to deter anyone in the Nightborne. Under her gaze, Aluriel and Talisa Obediently sat back on the chair, and after the great magister stopped the dispute, he sat there with his eyes closed, as if he was thinking about some problems.
Ten seconds later, she opened her eyes again, looked at everyone in front of her, and said:
"Thalyssa is right, we need to come up with a way to appease our people and bring them hope... But Aluriel is also right, we have not yet reached the point of despair, We haven't found all the elven inheritances in this world...we still have hope."
Elisande's voice made all the nobles present widen their eyes. Although they don't know much about the existing world form of Azeroth, the night elf Kaldorei, the highborne elf Syndra, and the high elf Quill Dolei, plus at most the blood elf Salein and the void elf Rondorei who just appeared, at most including the night son Xiadorei and those Fal'dorei nerubians who were distorted into insects by the explosion of the Well of Eternity, this is It is already all the elf factions known in Azeroth, how can there be other inheritances?
Has their great magister really hallucinated due to too much pressure?
The gazes of the elders and lords made the Grand Magister very disgusted. She flicked her fingers and said in a low voice:
"Enough, don't look at me with that look! What I said is true, have you all forgotten? The orthodox inheritance of the Elven Empire, the once supreme and noble person of the Elven Kingdom, Azshara the Light of Light Queen..."
"She established the most expansive Naga kingdom in Azeroth on the bottom of the Lightless Sea, and the Naga was born from the mutation of the Highborne, but I have never heard of it, which Naga also has difficulties. Entangled magic addiction, which means that our Queen Azshara has probably found a way to get rid of the magic addiction... At worst, given the current bad situation of the Nightborne, if we can get back the queen's grace, at least We no longer need to worry about threats from demons."
Elisande's speech made all the nobles, elders and lords present frown.
Indeed, although the highborne of Suramar did not really fall for Queen Azshara during the War of the Ancients, from another perspective, Suramar did not join the camp of the rebellious Lord Ravencrest either. Here, that is to say, the love between the Suramar elves and Queen Azshara is still there...
Maybe, this seemingly whimsical idea is really possible...success?
"But Queen Azshara hates everything that lives..."
Elder Aetaus, the astrologer, said with a tangled face:
"She was not a good person to deal with during the elf empire, and now she is dragged into the dark and twisted abyss, no one can predict her thoughts and ideas, and more importantly, Elisande, even Queen Azshara Willing to help us, we have to weigh how heavy her "goodwill" is...Don't forget, according to the information we have collected, Naga has conflicts with almost all forces in Azeroth."
"If we stand on the side of Queen Azshara, it means that we have to give up the whole world and accept the hostility from the whole world. If it is just to preserve our own existence, the price is a bit too high, and the most terrible What's more, if the news leaks out, I'm afraid the night elves will kill us before we complete the agreement with the queen. Queen Azshara launched a war against the night elves a few years ago, and it is said that she killed hundreds of thousands of elves .”
"So, this matter must be done in secret."
The Grand Magister narrowed her eyes, and she said:
"At least until we reach an agreement with Queen Azshara, this news cannot be known by any other forces. Ms. Yuejun, Mrs. Avasta, and Your Excellency Melandus, I entrust you to go to the power of the three elves again and make a decision. We are alone and desperate for help, and as for Queen Azshara, she is arrogant but traditional, so I have to meet her in person."
"It's dangerous, Grand Magister!"
The magic swordsman Aluriel gritted his teeth and said:
"At least let me go with you. Elder Etraeus is right. Ten thousand years have passed, and no one knows whether our Queen Azshara has become a real...monster!"
"No need! If Queen Azshara insists on killing me, even if you all go with me, it won't help. Ten thousand years ago, she was the most powerful woman in this world. Ten thousand years later, her power will only become more terrifying."
The great magister showed a great spirit of sacrifice at this moment. She stretched out her finger and stroked the black ring on her finger. She said:
"There is no other way, this is the price the Nightborne must pay..."
"I've made a choice!"
"So be it!"
