Chapter 245: Receiving Benefits from the Sunwell

After being knocked out, Arthas immediately got up and prepared to rush forward to fight Richard again. But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Arthas! Run, run! Get out of here immediately if you don't want to die!"

Just as the Death Knight Arthas was thinking about how to deal with this magic circle, a voice quickly came from the urn of Kel'Thuzad in his backpack. It was the voice of Kel'Thuzad.

"why?"

"He is a god! A real god, he has divine power! Run!" Kel'Thuzad's voice shouted wildly in Arthas' mind.

When Arthas heard the word "god", his face changed drastically. He was no longer stubborn and dared not say a word. He turned around and ran, fearing that if he ran too slowly, he would be killed by the god.

As Arthas escaped, the undead army also retreated like the tide, quickly withdrawing, not daring to stay for even a moment.

This time Arthas failed miserably, not only was his armor shattered, comparable to beggar's clothing, but his mount Invincible was also burned to ashes in the rain of fire and meteors. Even the undead army suffered heavy casualties.

Although the rain of fire and meteors from Silvermoon City behind had gradually calmed down, Arthas still did not dare to stop attacking.

On the battlefield outside Silvermoon City, a large number of undead have been burned to ashes by flames, and even crystals have appeared in many places. I don’t know if Arthas’s invincible horse has also turned into glass. Will he have to ride a glass horse in the future?

If Arthas really releases a glass horse, he will probably suffer a lot in the book in the future.

Silvermoon City has become more and more prosperous over the past tens of thousands of years since the high elves built this city. A large number of high elves live here. Over the past thousands of years, due to the abundant magic power and magical transformation, the natural environment has been completely changed and turned into a beautiful magical city.

The trees in the city also turned golden because of the Sunwell. Normally, Silvermoon City would be bustling at this time of the year, but today it was in a mess.

The people coming and going were hurried soldiers and citizens of Silvermoon City transporting supplies.

After seeing the undead army retreat, Richard did not pursue them. The high elves were a race that only cared about eating and not fighting. They had almost infinite arcane energy like the Sunwell and a long life span. Instead of studying magic and arcane seriously, they indulged in enjoyment.

As a result, the magic of the high elves was caught up by humans, and the country was directly destroyed by the attack of the Scourge. Looking at their arcane magic skills, after tens of thousands of years, they are still standing still, and are not as innovative as Dalaran.

After tens of thousands of years of peaceful development, these high elves have not even developed arcane technology, are unable to perform interstellar travel, and do not even have astral magic ships.

The high elves of Quel'Danas are simply a disgrace to the high elves in the multiverse.

If it weren't for the Sunwell water, he wouldn't bother to help these idiots who had completely lost their sense of crisis.

When Richard arrived in Silvermoon City, Sylvanas stepped forward to thank him immediately. After all, if Richard hadn't appeared, no one in Silvermoon City would have been able to escape today. If they didn't work hard in their daily training, they would have to become brothers in the Sea of ​​the Undead.

"Thank you, respected Archmage. We don't know your name yet." Sylvanas said respectfully.

"My name is Richard. I happened to be here, facing these evil undead spirits. I think anyone who is capable would be happy to help." Richard said with a smile.

"The battle has just ended. You should deal with the wounded first and don't worry about me."

Sylvanas was also worried about the wounded, so after a brief chat, she hurriedly began to deal with the affairs of Silvermoon City.

"Lor'themar! Where are the reinforcements? And how many people are there in Silvermoon City now? How many soldiers? How many civilians?"

Sylvanas, who escaped death, immediately got into work mode. Although the undead army retreated, it was only a temporary retreat. Who knows if they will come back again, so they must use the current time to make active preparations.

"Also, didn't the royal family send anyone? Where are the elders? Where is the parliament? Didn't any of them come?"

"General, there are still 2,000 rangers and more than 100 mages in the city. Apart from that, there are no other troops. There are still more than 33,000 civilians. The rest have already evacuated."

"As for the parliament and the royal family, they are still discussing it. They think the undead's target is the Sunwell, which is more important. So, you know." Lor'themar hesitated to speak.

As a ranger general, Sylvanas has a high reputation among the rangers. Lor'themar used to be her adjutant, so naturally she dared not hide it.

"So they just abandoned Silvermoon City? They thought that the undead couldn't get to Quel'Thalas because it was surrounded by water, right?"

"Don't they know that without Silvermoon City blocking the way, under the influence of magic, Quel'Thalas, surrounded by sea water, is truly indefensible?"

Arthas became a full-time Death Knight and seemed to have no spellcasting ability, but the Frostmourne in his hand was a divine weapon and also had spellcasting ability. Besides, the undead did not need food or air. Even the strait between Quel'Thalas and Silvermoon City could be waded across by the sea.

Sylvanas was going crazy at the stupidity of the council and the nobles. The population of this high elf kingdom was less than 100,000. If they lost Silvermoon City, they would not be able to defend the remaining Quel'Thalas.

She no longer had any hope for the high elves' rune barrier. If Arthas could break through the rune barrier of Eversong Woods, he could naturally break through the rune barrier of Quel'Thalas.

She now suspected that someone had betrayed the high elves and secretly destroyed the barrier.

"General, the council members and elders have discussed and believe that with Silvermoon City's barrier and the endless energy of the Sunwell, the undead will not be able to break through Silvermoon City."

"So in their opinion, two thousand ranger troops are enough to defend the city."

Lor'themar argued that this was actually the idea of ​​many high elves. After all, ever since they built the barrier covering the entire territory of the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, the high elves had never been invaded by other races.

"Stupid! If the magic barrier worked, how could the Elf Gate be broken through like paper? Doesn't the Elf Gate have a barrier? As a result, the team stationed at the Elf Gate didn't even send back any news."

"From the time the Undead Army appeared until now, their army has hardly stopped all the way. They are overwhelming us. Now you tell me to rely on magic barriers to resist the Undead Army?" Sylvanas' words hit Lor'themar's heart heavily.

He suddenly realized that the situation was not good. Under normal circumstances, the magic barrier of the Elf Gate was no weaker than that of Silvermoon City, but it was directly broken through by the Undead Army. Then it was very likely that the same would happen to Silvermoon City.

"There is a traitor among us. This traitor must be very familiar with the rune barrier and the rune stone protection spell! Otherwise, it cannot explain why the spell barrier has no effect at all!"

"No, I have to think of a way. I can't let the barrier have any problems again." Sylvanas thought for a while and said. Soon, Sylvanas once again came to the door of the villa where Silvermoon City received VIPs. Currently, only one person can solve the defense barrier of the entire Silvermoon City. It was Richard who had just saved them.

Not everyone can create a magic barrier. The magic barriers of the elves are also created by a large number of high-level wizards and legendary wizards. Now there is no high-level wizard in Silver Moon City, so we can only turn to Richard for help.

But it was difficult to ask for help again, as she had not yet repaid him for saving her life last time. He helped repel the undead army and bought them time. But for the sake of Silvermoon City and Quel'Thalas, Sylvanas finally decided to ask Richard for help. At worst, she would repay Richard's kindness later.

Thinking of this, Sylvanas had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk into the villa.

The elf waiter who stayed here saw Sylvanas coming and hurried forward and said, "General, Sir Richard is reading in the study."

"Take me there." Sylvanas followed the waiter to the study.

At this time, Richard was reading a chronicle of the High Elf Kingdom. In this study, most of the books were poetry, music, drama, novels, and some history books.

Richard flipped through it out of boredom.

"Sir Richard, may I bother you for a moment?" Sylvanas knocked on the door.

"Come in." Richard put down the chronicle and said.

"Good day, sir." Sylvanas said.

"Good day, please sit down." Richard said with a smile.

"General, is there anything you want to talk to me about?" Richard asked directly after Sylvanas sat down.

"Your Excellency, thank you for helping us fight the undead army." Sylvanas said hesitantly.

"Anything else?" Richard waited for a while, didn't hear any further words, and urged.

"Well, we would like to ask you for help." Sylvanas said.

"You can help me, but you can't just say thank you verbally without saying anything?" Richard tapped the table with his fingers rhythmically.

"You high elves are so stingy!"

"No, no, we are willing to give you money, jewelry or other treasures, as long as we have them." Hearing that Richard was willing to help and just asked for some benefits, Sylvanas immediately relaxed.

The high elves may not have much other things, but they have a lot of money, gems, and various treasures. You know, the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas is famous for its wealth.

"That's easy to say." Richard said with a smile, "I don't want your treasures, money, and various gems."

"Then what do you want?" Sylvanas asked curiously.

"I need water from the Sunwell, not much, maybe a hundred liters. Also, let me go to your high elf library to look at the books on magic." Richard said.

The water of the Sunwell is actually the water of the Well of Eternity. As one of the most famous treasures in World of Warcraft, the Well of Eternity can be said to run through the entire history of World of Warcraft.

The Well of Eternity can naturally draw energy from the void, and then convert the energy in the void into magical energy and spread it throughout Azeroth.

The energy of the Well of Eternity is almost infinite. If the Arcane Empire had such a Well of Eternity, it would have solved the energy problem instantly. There would be so many floating cities that they would have conquered the multiverse long ago.

After the Well of Eternity exploded in ancient times, Illidan once collected some of the Well of Eternity's water. The high elves stole a bottle when they were exiled, and then used this bottle of water to create the Sunwell.

However, the magic power of the Sunwell is not as great as that of the Well of Eternity. After all, the Well of Eternity has existed for too long.

Richard wanted one hundred liters of the Sunwell's water in order to create a small Sunwell in his demiplane.

If there is a Sunwell at the center of his demiplane, it means that there is endless energy, and as the energy increases, the demiplane will grow little by little.

If the demiplane is not destroyed in the middle, sooner or later, his demiplane will become a real main material plane, and the creator of this plane will also get feedback.

By then, he would at least be a powerful god, and it would not be impossible for him to become a great god. Of course, if he wanted to wait for the demiplane to mature, it would take at least tens of thousands of years or even longer.

However, even if it is not used to make the demiplane grow, it can be placed in the floating city. Such abundant energy will make the floating city not have to worry about energy shortages.

At the same time, this well water can also be used to make magic potions, which will definitely have magical effects.

After hearing that Richard only wanted the Sunwell water and reading books, Sylvanas's heart was relieved. Although the Sunwell water was precious, she still had the authority to get 100 liters. As for the library, she could just apply to His Majesty the King when the time came.

"Sir, I will send people to handle your two requests immediately. The water from the Sunwell will be delivered soon, but the library must wait until the undead army retreats." Sylvanas said.

"No problem." Richard nodded.

In comparison, he valued the water of the Sunwell more. As for the library, the elves' magic is now being caught up by humans, so you can imagine how lazy they are.

Besides, if he didn't get the well water quickly, if Arthas broke through Quel'Thalas and polluted the Sunwell, it would be difficult for him to get the Sunwell water again.

"What do you want me to do to help you?" After the terms were agreed upon, Richard began to ask.

"I suspect there is a traitor in our group. He was the one who destroyed the magic barrier and allowed the undead army to march straight in. So I would like to ask you to help modify the spell of the rune stone and change the authority of the magic barrier." Sylvanas said.

"Well, I don't know the layout of your high elves' barrier. I need a design drawing of your barrier and the production principle."
