Chapter 252: Reconstruction of Quel'Thalas and the Crisis of Dalaran

Richard prepared this rapid growth potion by studying the blood of the high elves, and then let the high elves use it on their own. In fact, shortening the growth period is much more important to the high elves than a longer lifespan.

Without war and world peace, the high elves can grow for 200 years without any problem, but once a war breaks out, the 200-year growth period basically locks the high elves' war potential.

Such a long growth period almost means that the high elves cannot replenish their population, and one less person will be one less person.

Richard shortened their growth period to 15-20 years, which can be said to have directly brought their war potential to the same level as humans.

Quel'Thalas has more than one million square kilometers of land and a population of more than 30,000. This is no longer a vast land with a sparse population, but a sesame seed in the sea. In Richard's opinion, such a large territory requires at least one million people.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to increase the population of the high elves to one million.

Richard plans to draw some people from the high elves of Quel'Thalas to enrich his floating city. After all, according to his design of the floating city, it can accommodate at least hundreds of thousands of people.

High-quality population such as high elves are naturally in his target.

Richard is going to completely change the social structure of Quel'Danas through three five-year plans, changing it from a lax, free and extravagant society to an orderly and hard-working society.

The magic teaching of high elves was also completely changed by Richard. He adopted the magic academy education of the Supreme Arcane Council.

The previous high elf magic was too scattered, there was no perfect training system, and the efficiency was extremely low. After the reform, high elves need to enter school at the age of six, and then learn from easy to difficult in a step-by-step manner.

After the high elves complete five years of basic education, they must reach the level of formal wizards to graduate, and they must reach the level of low-level wizards after adulthood. After adulthood, they can choose to continue studying at the Intermediate Wizard Academy, or they can learn other professions.

However, Richard feels that basically all elves will choose part-time jobs. After all, they do not have the disadvantage of not having enough time.

After the integration, the high elf kingdom can now be said to be a soldier for all. After several months of search and rescue, the high elves scattered around Eversong Forest and Windrunner Tower were basically brought to Silvermoon City, and the civilians and soldiers who fled after the defeat of Quel'Danas also returned to Silvermoon City one after another.

In the end, the number of high elves in Silvermoon City barely exceeded 40,000.

After training in the Knight's Breathing Method, basically all high elves became qualified soldiers. In order to ensure the safety of Quel'Danas, Sylvanas selected half of them to join the army. The remaining half also received military training and belonged to the militia.

Because the high elves were short of manpower, Richard gave them the technology to make clay golems and rock golems, and asked them to make clay golems and rock golems.

High golems require high-level soul crystals, which are difficult to obtain, but large soul crystals are easy to obtain, and there is a chance of dropping them when killing those undead creatures.

Clay golems and rock golems are just right.

The high elves also have their own golem technology, such as the arcane guards they made themselves. Its actual combat power is similar to that of the rock golem, but it is more expensive and has low intelligence.

Li Cha felt that if the soul of the Lich King could be extracted, it would definitely be a demigod-level soul crystal. When there is a chance in the future, he will definitely collect its soul crystal and use it to make a more advanced constructed golem.

At this time, Ner'zhul, who had been frozen into a large block of ice, suddenly felt a deep soul malice. His powerful mental power looked around, but found nothing.

Ner'zhul didn't know that he had been targeted by Richard.

The reconstruction of the High Elf Kingdom was in full swing, and Quel'Danas Island had become a large construction site. Because Richard taught the High Elves how to make clay golems and rock golems, the High Elves quickly made these golem puppets.

Then they were seen on construction sites all over Quel'Thalas. Because of the existence of the Sunwell, these golems don't have to worry about insufficient energy at all.

With the help of these golems, the progress of various projects is good. On the other side, Richard began to upgrade the rune barrier of the entire Quel'Thalas.

The high elves who were betrayed by internal personnel were very worried about the current rune barrier. Therefore, they decided to carry out a large-scale transformation of the rune barrier. Richard saw their transformation plan and said directly that since it was such a large-scale transformation, they might as well upgrade it to a puzzle lock.

The puzzle lock has all the abilities of the rune barrier, and also has the ability to strike independently and various spell blessing abilities, which is much stronger than the rune barrier.

Then Richard gave them a set of puzzle lock design drawings for these high elves to learn.

After reading the puzzle lock design drawings, all the high elves were stunned, and there was only one sentence left in their minds-can magic be played like this?

"Godfather, this puzzle lock is so exquisitely designed, it's simply a miracle!" Kael'thas excitedly grabbed Richard's arm and said.

"It's okay, is there anything unclear or difficult about the entire puzzle lock?"

"Here, energy transmission, here is the permanent effect of spells, and the control center of the puzzle lock." Kael'thas asked respectfully.

"Energy transmission uses magic crystals, and energy center control is added. The spell permanent effect requires the use of the maze weaving skill. As for the maze core, a legendary soul crystal is required."

"Godfather, the soul core still needs to be made by you personally." Kael'thas looked at the control core, and even he could only understand less than one-tenth of it. If you want to make this kind of soul core without a lot of time to study and learn, don't even think about it.

"Okay." Richard nodded.

Next, Richard split the entire maze into tens of thousands of links, large and small, and then distributed these links to the high elves to make. The entire high elf maze design blueprint is only in the hands of Kael'thas and Richard.

In this way, the confidentiality of the entire maze has been raised to an extremely high level. Those elven mages who are responsible for participating in it only know the links in their hands.

It is impossible to destroy the maze through these links. What's more, the biggest difference between the maze and the rune barrier is that the maze has a control core, while the rune barrier does not.

The control core of the maze can automatically repair some damaged loopholes. Even if some parts are damaged, the maze can still operate, and there will be no phenomenon that the rune barrier will collapse if one place is destroyed.

At the same time, when there is a problem with the maze, it will be discovered by the maze tower spirit at the first time, and the maze tower spirit will notify the person with the highest authority. The maze is arranged with cross-fishing net rune chains, and the maze is not a net, but a network of layers.

Because of the existence of the Sunwell, the high elves are very suitable for building mazes. The range of the maze weaving is very limited. Before the Silver Age, the range of human mazes was usually only 500 meters.

The main reason is the problem of energy radiation. When the floating city appeared, the range of the maze instantly expanded to several kilometers. In the era of the Arcane Empire, it expanded to dozens or hundreds of kilometers, even covering a half plane.

In the era of the Supreme Arcane Council, the maze merged with the magic network, and its ability became stronger and stronger.

The high elves have the Sunwell. As an infinite energy source, the Sunwell can cover the largest range of the Sunwell.

The maze designed by Richard this time is designed and built around the Sunwell. The energy radiation range of the Sunwell is the range of the maze.

Now the radiation range of the Quel'Thalas Sunwell is very large, and the range covered by this maze is also extremely amazing. The complete version of the puzzle lock needs to cover the entire Kingdom of Quel'Thalas.

However, it is impossible to complete such a large and magnificent project in a short time. It took the high elves hundreds of years to build the rune array barrier.

It will take a lot of time to build the puzzle lock now, so Richard and Kael'thas decided to protect Silvermoon City and Quel'Danas Island with puzzle locks first, and the rest will still use rune barriers.

However, even the rune barrier has been revised by Richard, and the upgrade of the puzzle lock in the future only needs to be added on this basis.

The treasury of the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas is in Silvermoon City. In fact, Silvermoon City is the capital of Quel'Thalas, and Quel'Danas Island is the back garden of the royal nobles.

So although Quel'Danas was breached, the treasury was not looted.

The high elves have accumulated a lot of good things for thousands of years, and Kael'thas soon prepared three legendary soul crystals.

"Godfather, these three are the best soul crystals in the treasure house."

Richard took the three soul crystals and checked them. The best soul crystal was a high-level legendary soul crystal, and the remaining two were also at the bottom line of the high-level legendary soul crystal.

It is unknown where the high elves got these three high-level legendary soul crystals. High-level legends are not so easy to kill. Richard suspected that they were probably left by the Azuman Troll King who was killed when the high elves founded the country.

Richard put away the three soul crystals and went to the tower to start engraving the soul crystals, while Kael'thas watched from the side.

This soul core production technology is very demanding, and the control of mental power must be extremely subtle. After all, this carving technique is very difficult. If you make a mistake in carving, the entire soul crystal will be useless. If you are lucky, you can modify it and downgrade it. If you are unlucky, it will be directly scrapped.

So if you are not 100% sure of the soul core, it is best not to do it.

Because of its vast area, the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas uses legendary high-level soul crystals. The control center of the maze needs to build a tower independently, and a separate energy supply will be drawn from the Sunwell.

Richard controlled his mental power to etch the soul crystal, and tiny runes were engraved in it by Richard's mental power. Richard's powerful mental power can already be used for distracted control.

When all the runes were engraved, a rune chain was formed, and these rune chains formed a new rune array. After completing the rune engraving, Richard began to load various abilities to the tower spirit. A high-level maze control center took two days to complete.

Next, Richard loaded the design of the entire maze into the maze center, and then used the soul creation spell to give it life. Finally, the maze control center was installed on the maze tower and it was completed.

The next maze construction can be built according to each link, and after the construction is completed, they can be linked together.

Richard also connected the modified rune barrier to the control center of the maze, allowing it to control the rune barrier and monitor the High Elf Kingdom through the barrier.

While the High Elf Kingdom was rebuilding, Arthas, after being frustrated under Silvermoon City, immediately returned to Lordaeron with a huge army of undead. Then he began to gather troops to prepare to deal with Dalaran.

As a human magic kingdom, Dalaran gathers a large number of mages, and the Council of Tirisfal is also here. It can be said that this is the most powerful country for human magic.

Arthas attacked here with all his strength, and his main target was the Book of Medivh hidden here. This book was actually made by the dark titan Sargeras. It records a large number of high-end space arrays, contains powerful space power, and can open a portal to the outside world.

Under the order of Ner'zhul, Arthas wanted to snatch this spell, open the portal, and then teleport the Burning Legion.

Therefore, after resurrecting Kel'Thuzad, Arthas led a mighty army of undead to Dalaran. At this time, the undead army resurrected a large number of elven mages, and its strength was very strong. The endless undead army was invincible and invincible, like a snowball, rolling bigger and bigger.

Arthas also completely forgot about being defeated in front of Silvermoon City again, and was full of energy again, ready to sweep Dalaran.

The achievements of the Undead Scourge quickly spread across the continent, and the entire eastern continent was in danger. Lordaeron, the most powerful of the human kingdoms, had been breached, and millions of people had become undead.

A large number of undead were wreaking havoc on the land of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, and other human kingdoms were not much better. Stormwind had not recovered after the last orc war.

At this time, no human kingdom could stop the undead army that was in full swing.

Arthas gathered the elite of the undead army, and at the same time made a large number of meat grinders. After all the preparations, he began to advance towards Dalaran. Hundreds of thousands of undead troops headed for Dalaran, and the Frostmourne in Arthas's hand was invincible. All the rivers and lakes along the way were directly frozen by him with Frostmourne.

The army did not take a detour, but went straight to Dalaran.

In Dalaran, on the tallest mage tower, Archmage Antonidas had just read the news from the scouts, and immediately sent people to ask for help from other kingdoms.

At this time, the great wizards no longer dared to underestimate the army of the undead. After all, the last elven kingdom that underestimated them had been conquered and the king had died in battle.
