Kael 'thas readily agreed to our request, which was out of our expectations. I had originally thought that even if he agreed to our request, there would be some negotiations. After all, the Magic Net node was the most important thing to the blood elves, and it was also the only source of magic energy they relied on to survive after losing the endless energy of the Well of the Sun. However, Kael' thas actually agreed to our request so easily. This made me feel as if I had punched cotton, even though I had prepared countless reasons for doing so.
"I believe that lending this item to the Gods will definitely be rewarded handsomely."
Kael 'thas answered my doubts. It seemed that this King of the Blood Elves was truly intelligent. He had keenly grasped the greatest opportunity for the entire blood elf race, which was to tie himself to the Gods' warship. Furthermore, the prerequisite was that he didn't have to pay any price.
We were only borrowing the Magic Net node. We wouldn't and couldn't steal the Magic Net itself. The blood elves wouldn't have to pay anything, but they would receive a favor from the Gods. No matter how you looked at it, this was a huge profit.
Kael 'thas wasn't an idiot. Of course, he could see this.
Of course, this was also thanks to the title of our "Gods." This title represented too many meanings. No matter what the meaning was, as long as it wasn't a confrontation, anything related to the Gods would represent great benefits.
Although the majority of the mages in this world understood and used the Magic Net, what kind of existence it was was always debated. As far as we knew, it was an invisible and intangible energy system, just like the ubiquitous radio signals on Earth that were about to explode. It was a stable, pure magical path that contained all the magical energy in the world. However, because it was a part of the world, the existence of the Magic Net couldn't be observed by conventional means. Only the most profound Arcana Masters could resonate with it through magic rituals. It penetrated the entire world, not only in the land, but also in the ocean, the sky, and even the stars. The formless energy structure filled the universe, forming an energy form of the World of Azeroth. Schilling Technicians tried to draw out a small portion of the Magic Net that they had detected. We saw a magical scene: a silhouette of Azeroth in its original form that hadn't been altered by any external forces.
The nodes of the Magic Net were the pillars of this energy world. Just like the key points in 3D modeling, their state determined the final form of the entire Magic Net. They were also the only entrance for external forces to intervene in the Magic Net. Of course, they couldn't be observed by conventional means.
Under Kael 'thas' personal guidance, we arrived at the forbidden area at the bottom of the Tower of Sun Fury: the Great Barrier Control Circle of Quel 'Thalas.
I had to admit that the talent of the blood elves in art was unparalleled by any other race. Their long lifespan allowed them to spend more time and energy on creating art. This had even become a collective habit of the elves. In this grand tower, mysterious and beautiful runes covered almost every corner. Every item presented an exquisitely sculpted artistic feeling. Even the door handle was engraved with simple and elegant elven runes. This made me wonder if these long ears had some kind of racial symptoms of paranoia …
This fanaticism towards art was also reflected in the huge magic circle in front of us. In this spacious hall that was tens of meters underground in the Tower of Sun Fury, a large magic circle with a radius of at least 200 meters occupied the entire floor. At the edge of this extremely complicated magic circle, exquisite golden elven runes floated in the air, revolving slowly around the circle. The only use of these runes was actually for decoration!?
Only the blood elves, who were almost demonic in arcane magic, would dare to add such useless runes on the magic circle that could cause the entire force field to explode?!
So, even though the blood elves had declined, I still did not dare to underestimate the development potential of these long ears. Knowledge was a precious war asset that could not be measured by the population.
This large magic circle with a diameter of hundreds of meters was the control center of the Great Barrier that enveloped the entire Quel 'Thalas. It coordinated the energy output of all the mage towers located in Quel' Thalas, and bore the heavy responsibility of charging the final defense circle that was as large as the city beneath Silvermoon City. Of course, due to the destruction of the Crypt Demons, the latter had now fallen into a state of complete paralysis. Before Silvermoon City was rebuilt, we would not have the chance to see the largest magic circle in history.
This magic circle was also the largest intervention window of the Magic Net node in Quel 'Thalas. After activation, this magic circle would switch a part of it into a pure energy form, thereby absorbing endless magic energy from the Magic Net. This was also the reason why such a' small 'magic circle with a radius of less than 200 meters was able to support all the energy needs of the blood elves. In layman's terms, this magic circle's backing was too strong …
In order to prevent any accidents, we had already instructed Kael 'thas to stop the operation of this magic circle. Anyway, the border of Quel' Thalas was guarded by Sives and the Fortress-class battleship, so the Great Barrier could be temporarily shut down. Thus, other than the decorative magic runes at the edge, the entire magic circle was now dim and without light. Eleven blood elf magisters dressed in gorgeous mage robes stood in front of the magic circle, waiting for us. Kael 'thas must have given the relevant personnel a warning beforehand, so when they saw us, although these magisters were very excited, they did not show too obvious of it.
However, when Cirvanas appeared in front of them, there was still a small commotion.
Of course, it wasn't hostility.
In the past, the ranger general was a famous heroic figure. As nobles among the blood elves, there was no reason for these magisters to not recognize her. However, now that they met, things had changed. The once ranger general had become the fallen Undead Queen, and the glorious and majestic capital of the blood elves had become ruins. In that moment, everyone felt a little sad.
"Let's begin. What should I do?"
Finally, Cirvanas spoke calmly, as though there was no fluctuation in her heart. However, the red light in her eyes became even more intense.
The magisters looked at each other, then silently nodded and walked to their respective positions. Finally, one of the magisters in front of us bowed slightly to Cirvanas and said, "Please follow me, General Cirvanas."
Her tone was the same as when we were in the palace in Silvermoon City.
"That's why I don't like tragedies." I slightly lowered my head and said to the little loli who had the title of general.
Pandora raised her small face with a blank expression. Then, she lowered her head and continued to stare blankly. Of course, she could also be thinking of a new battle plan.
Cirvanas was arranged to be in the center of the magic circle. She stood there with an extremely calm expression. However, I could tell from her tense body that she was slightly nervous.
Standing in the center of the magic net control circle that was operating at full power was definitely the most suicidal act in history.
The eleven blood elf magisters stood precisely in their positions and started to carefully charge the entire magic circle. They would slightly modify the operation of the magic circle to form a magic vacuum in the center of the magic circle without any flow of arcane magic. This magic vacuum might not even have a diameter of three meters, but it was the only safe place after the activation of the magic circle. This small island of safety was the guarantee for Cirvanas' safety in the magic circle. Thus, every magister put in 120% of their energy to adjust their output.
Time ticked by. Finally, the enormous magic circle started to activate. The dim golden runes on the ground gradually lit up, and the powerful magic power formed a faint halo in the air. I felt the ground beneath my feet trembling slightly, and even the entire hall was shaking. However, that was probably an illusion. The true shaking wasn't in the hall, but in another energy world that the magic net had outlined that completely overlapped with this space. The trembling of that world had a slight impact on my spiritual power, giving me the illusion that the surrounding space was shaking.
As the large-scale magic circle on the floor of the hall gradually lit up, a low hum sounded from all directions. The magic net that was hidden in the non-material plane had started to merge with the material world. The ground around Cirvanas suddenly became unreal, as though it had turned into a crude oil painting. Only a small area beneath her feet remained unchanged. This proved that the magic net had already connected with the surrounding material world through this magic circle.
Immediately, I felt an enormous … No, it should be an indescribably enormous energy appearing in the hall. It even gave me the illusion that the hall had already been converted into energy.
The blood elves were truly a race of geniuses. They were actually able to use this method to extract energy from the deep layers of the world. This method was actually already at the edge of Schilling's technology. This was because the Shiring Apostles' most commonly used energy was actually extracted from another plane of the world. Of course, in order to reach that plane, the blood elves probably still had a long way to go. Perhaps they would never be able to explore that domain that already touched upon the essence of the world.
Standing in the center of the magic circle, the pressure that Cirvanas felt was unimaginable. Although the surrounding energy had completely avoided a one-meter radius around her, the pressure from directly facing the energy system of this world still made her sweat profusely — that is, if her sweat glands could still function.
Cirvanas carefully extended her spiritual power towards the boundless pressure. Even though she knew that the energy definitely wouldn't harm her, she still took every step carefully.
Then, the overwhelming energy surged towards her. It felt as though she had fallen into a bottomless abyss, and beneath the abyss was terrifying underground lava.
It's just an illusion.
Cirvanas told herself that it was an illusion caused by her spiritual power leaving her body and entering the Magic Net. In reality, the energy was still a meter away from her, but even so, her body still swayed slightly.
At this moment, a warm energy suddenly appeared beside her, allowing her to regain her clarity of mind.
Alaya spread his wings and protected the Queen of the Undead behind her.
The angel's sudden actions startled the mages who were maintaining the magic circle. However, the expected collapse of magic didn't happen. Alaya turned himself into a pure body of energy as he flew over, just like an ordinary ray of sunlight shining into the magic circle, not causing any disturbances.
If one ignored the headache-inducing personality of the silly cat, Alaya's strength was indeed not to be underestimated.
Even though the Holy Light also made Cirvanas uncomfortable, at the very least, it allowed her to regain the stability of her mind. She nodded slightly before focusing all of her attention on sensing the Magic Net. The mages immediately began expanding the connection of the Magic Net to the vicinity of the Land of the Specter.
After Cirvanas' condition stabilized, Alaya turned into a brilliant light and returned to my side. I noticed that she had a perplexed expression on her face.
"Alaya, where's the little girl?"
"She's sleeping," Alaya replied in her unique soft voice, her expression becoming even more perplexed.
