Chapter 251 The Five-Year Plan of the High Elf Kingdom

The high elves are now in a state of disrepair.

Kael'thas officially ascended the throne as king in the Silvermoon Palace. Due to the simple conditions, the coronation ceremony was also very simple. After completing the coronation ceremony, Kael'thas also publicly announced that Richard was his godfather and personally announced that Richard was the founding father of Quel'Thalas.

After hearing that Richard was the founding father, all the high elves cheered. The High Elf Kingdom was destroyed overnight, which made all the high elves feel insecure. Now with Richard, many high elves feel relieved.

At least they don't have to worry about Richard leaving suddenly and Silvermoon City being attacked again.

It's not that they don't have confidence in Kael'thas, but reality simply doesn't give them confidence. At that time, Quel'Danas Island gathered 70% of the kingdom's troops and 90% of its high-end combat power. In the end, the whole army was annihilated in one battle.

They do support the Sun Court, but that doesn't mean they trust the prince.

Now, with Richard's support, the High Elf Kingdom immediately stabilized.

Then the High Elf Kingdom began to promote reconstruction work, the first thing to do was to recapture the island of Quel'Danas and purify the Sunwell. The next step was to repair the rune barrier, rescue refugees, and eliminate the undead.

Since Richard decided to become the founding father and godfather of Kael'thas, he naturally began to help the high elves complete the reconstruction work.

The first thing to be rebuilt was the High Elf Magic Academy. The High Elves were now seriously short of manpower, so they had to use magic. Richard asked the Tower Spirit to summarize a set of magic learning courses suitable for the High Elves.

The teaching materials were systematically revised and compiled. The previous loose, arbitrary, and self-conscious and hobby teaching method was changed. At the same time, the meditation method of the high elves was revised and improved. After these revisions, the number of mages among the high elves will increase greatly in a few years.

These high elves were a complete waste of talent in the past.

Next, Richard started to go to the Sunwell to purify the pollution in the Sunwell. The pollution in the Sunwell was very serious, and Arthas used the energy of the Sunwell to resurrect hundreds of undead.

The energy here has been seriously polluted. To remove the pollution, Richard has several solutions: dilution, filtration, neutralization, and purification. Dilution is to turn off the energy conversion of the Sun Well water from the void, and then drain all the well water to flush out the dirty energy.

After the Sunwell is free of pollution, it can be restored. As for the polluted well water, it will be diluted and filtered to remove the pollution.

The method of neutralization is to input other energies to allow multiple energy reactions to neutralize each other. By the way, neutralizing agents need to be added to avoid violent reactions and explosions.

Purification is to use the power of nature to purify these polluted energies. These methods are the experience of arcanists and druids in controlling pollution for thousands of years.

In the original timeline, the Sunwell used neutralization to neutralize the evil power with the holy light power of the Naaru. Richard was going to use another method - time magic.

Sunwell Plateau.

The once prosperous and beautiful highlands have become a mess, and the gray-green energy has turned the surrounding sky into a dark gray hue.

The Sunwell Plateau was the main battlefield of the original war, and it was severely damaged. Although it has been cleaned up many times, there are still a lot of undead forces entrenched here.

Ordinary high elves cannot survive here and will be eroded by these energies over time.

Richard waved his hand and used the Reality Gem to change the surrounding energy properties and clean up the place. Soon the original undead energy was cleaned up, and even the earth returned to its original state.

Richard then came to the Sunwell. Powerful magic filled his surroundings. Golden rune chains appeared in the surrounding sky, and the originally dirty energy was directly expelled.

Richard's entire body was covered in a layer of golden light, and he exuded a sacred aura. Kael'thas, Sylvanas, and many elven mages and rangers who followed behind him were directly shocked by Richard's appearance.

The golden light made their eyes hurt, and they quickly looked away.

"Time goes back!" Powerful time magic appeared, and the time of the Sunwell began to flow backwards rapidly. The originally turbid well water also quickly became clear, and even the collapsed and broken buildings began to return to their original state.

Time reversal directly rewinds the time of the Sunwell to before the use of undead magic.

Seeing such great power, all the high elves present were amazed.

“This is divine power!”

"Miracle! This is a miracle!"

"Long live His Excellency Richard! Long live the founding father!"

All the high elves present cheered. Kael'thas next to him was extremely excited, with a flushed face. As a legendary wizard, he knew too well how powerful this magic was.

Controlling time is the domain of gods. My godfather is indeed a golden thigh.

Chromie next to him was also stunned. The bronze dragon also knew the spell of time reversal, but the range of effect was very small and the time of reversal was extremely limited.

For someone like Richard, not only her, but even their Dragon King couldn't do it.

"It's over! He's so powerful, how can I run away?"

"Oh, oh, oh! Am I going to stay here forever?" Chromie, who loved to make trouble, was heartbroken.

"With such great power, is he really a god?"

Soon the power of time restored the entire Sunwell to its original state. Richard waved his hand lightly and took back his magic power. The golden runes quickly dimmed and disappeared, and all the rune chains returned to Richard's body.

Richard tapped his staff lightly, and the next second, the closed Sunwell was activated again, and pure magical energy reappeared. The originally polluted energy was quickly diluted and purified under the surging magical energy.

Three days after the Sunwell was restored, all the polluted energy in Quel'Thalas was diluted and evolved, leaving only the traces of death. The traces of death needed to be purified separately. After the Sunwell was restored, the reconstruction of Quel'Thalas became much easier. In the past, the high elves could only hide in Silvermoon City. Once they left the city, they would be eroded by the energy of the undead. Even if they resisted these energies, they would become addicted to magic if they were away for a long time.

Now that the Sunwell has been restored, they can leave Silvermoon City to carry out various tasks. At the same time, as the dead energy and dirty energy are purified, the undead creatures will be greatly suppressed. Ordinary skeleton zombies will die directly, and the stronger ones will leave because they hate the surrounding energy.

Therefore, the undead creatures in Quel'Thalas either leave or gather in the Scar of Death, making it much easier to clear them out.

Without their infinite numbers, these undead creatures are no match for the high elves, and it is only a matter of time before they are wiped out.

"Godfather, do you have any way to cure magic addiction?" Kael'thas asked worriedly after seeing the magic addiction.

Richard said, "Magic addiction is caused by your over-reliance on the Sunwell in the past. The excessive energy has made you accustomed to it, and once the energy is insufficient, you will become addicted to magic."

"Your current state is extremely dangerous, because just like a fish, you must have water to survive. Once the water is gone or there is not enough water, you will become addicted to magic. You should know the end result."

"It is not easy to cure your addiction to magic. Others cannot help you. You must persist on your own."

"Godfather, I don't know how to solve this problem?"

"First, we need to reduce the magic concentration of the entire Kingdom of Quel'Danas by at least half. Then you will become slightly addicted to magic, and then you will need to use potions to assist you."

"Then gradually reduce the pain of the magic addiction and increase your tolerance. If you can endure it, you can continue to fight the magic addiction by training your body and increasing your physical strength."

"It takes a long time to get rid of the magic addiction. If you insist on it, it will take at least two years. In addition, the magic concentration of the Sunwell must be reduced to half, otherwise newborns will still be addicted to magic."

Richard wrote down the method of curing magic addiction. At the same time, he also took the time to learn about the body structure of the high elves, and collected their body data information and blood cells into the database.

Then, based on the elves' qualifications, he found a knight's breathing method. Richard's spiritual library contained tens of thousands of different knight's breathing methods, and naturally there were some suitable for high elves.

After the system matched, Richard chose a lava knight breathing method. This knight breathing method is used to stimulate the potential of the physical body. It is very suitable for elves. The physical strength of the elves is lower than that of humans, but the potential of elves is actually higher than that of humans.

Living in a high-energy environment all year round allows them to store higher energy in their cells, which is something humans do not have.

It's just that the high elves have never developed it. Now if you want to break your magic addiction, you must have a strong enough body.

After some discussion, all the officials and nobles of the high elves finally unanimously decided to follow Richard's method to quit their magic addiction.

Richard prepared a five-year development plan for Quel'Thalas, which detailed the various things the high elves needed to do in the next five years. After the purification of the Sunwell was completed, the magic addiction treatment officially began.

After the purification of the Sunwell was completed, Richard rearranged the rune array to store most of the Sunwell's energy in the Sunwell, reducing the mana concentration of the entire Quel'Thalas to its original level.

The sudden reduction in magic power concentration made all the high elves feel uncomfortable, but it was necessary to break their magic addiction. After experiencing the destruction of their country, the loss of their families, and the death of two-thirds of their relatives and friends in battle, the will of the high elves was also aroused.

There are no more elves in Silvermoon City who have nothing to do and enjoy strolling around. Even the opera, music, drama, etc. that the elves like have all been stopped.

According to Sylvanas' military order, the entire elven kingdom implemented militarized management and set time limits for everyone.

At the beginning, this strict control made many people uncomfortable, so Richard directly used the Mind Stone to give these people a powerful psychological hint.

Even if they were unwilling in their hearts, under the powerful power of the Mind Gem, they would force themselves to change their habits. Sylvanas's militarized management made the work of the High Elf Kingdom progress quickly.

At the same time, the magic addiction withdrawal has also begun to show results. The breathing method is very effective. The high elves' bodies already contain abundant magic power. The role of the breathing method is to continuously squeeze the potential, energy, etc. in the body.

As a result, the physical strength of the high elves increased rapidly. The physical fitness of the original high elves civilians is now comparable to that of human recruits who have completed training.

The initial strength attribute of humans is much higher than that of high elves, and it becomes even stronger after the recruit training. But now, after the Knight Breathing Technique, the physical fitness of the elves has been comprehensively improved.

After training, these originally slender elves have gained a circle of muscles and look a bit like muscular men.

The Knight's Breathing Technique is to activate the energy of the body and condense one's own life seed. Because the energy in the body of the high elves is far greater than that of humans, the practice should not be too simple.

Ordinary people who practice the Knight's Breathing Technique must have various foods and potions to replenish the deficiency. The principle is to squeeze the body's potential and condense the seeds of life. Before the seeds of life are condensed, people who practice the Knight's Breathing Technique will have a shorter life than normal people.

Only after condensing into a seed of life did it return to normal. The following knights, great knights, earth knights, sky knights and the final legendary knights lived all the way to the end with a maximum lifespan of two hundred years.

But for the high elves, this Knight's Breathing Technique was like something tailor-made for them. Similarly, because the Knight's Breathing Technique squeezed the physical strength, it did not affect their learning of spells.

So in theory, all high elves are proficient in both magic and martial arts. After all, the high elves' long lifespan allows them to have enough time to practice knight breathing and magic.

The first five-year plan of Quel'Thalas contains a wide range of contents. In addition to magic addiction, there are also city reconstruction, rune barrier reconstruction, etc., and a very important one is production.

The total population of the high elves in Quel'Thalas is only a little over 30,000, which is simply not enough. Nowadays, every human kingdom has a population of at least several million, and some even have a population of tens of millions.

What can these 30,000 high elves do? So Richard proposed a birth plan in the 15-year plan. All adult high elves must get married as soon as possible, and each couple must have at least three children.

It was stipulated that within ten years, the population of the high elves would double. After thirty years, the high elves would have a population of at least 200,000. The previous laissez-faire situation was completely eliminated. The birth rate among the high elves was shockingly low. There were more than 100,000 high elves, but no more than ten newborns were born each year.
A hundred years is too long for high elves to reach adulthood. Richard has some ways to allow high elves to reach adulthood in fifteen to twenty years, but doing so will shorten the lifespan of the high elves.

The lifespan of high elves is five thousand years. If they use Richard's method, their lifespan will be shortened to four thousand years. Regarding this matter, Richard gave the choice to the high elves, and they can choose whether to accept it.

The result surprised Richard. More than 90% of the high elves agreed.
