Chapter 498 Quel’Danas Ship

“Godfather, you’re back!” Just as Richard was strolling in Silvermoon City, an excited voice suddenly came.

Richard turned around and saw Kael’thas, whom he hadn’t seen for many years.

After several years in power, Kaizi has finally matured a lot.

“Long time no see, Your Majesty!” Richard said with a smile.

“Godfather, it’s really you who are back!” Kael’thas said excitedly.

Richard smiled and touched Kaizi’s head. In the dungeon back then, he had pushed Kaizi many times just for his phoenix.

Now that I have the chance, I will naturally give him a pat on the head with a smile.

“Godfather, we have implemented the knowledge you gave us.” Kael’thas took Richard and went directly to the island of Quel’Danas through teleportation.

Quel’Danas at this time was completely different from before. As soon as he came in, Richard felt the power of the magic network that he had missed for a long time.

Although this magic web is small and only has a third-level spell, it is still a magic web.

Kael’thas and Richard appeared on a tall tower. This tower was located next to the Sunwell and was rebuilt from the former Tower of the Sun.

Coming here, Richard looked around. After being built by the high elves, this place has become an energy control center. The Sunwell below is an energy pool. The energy passing through here will be distributed to the other seventeen towers, and then the seventeen towers will work together to launch attacks or magic arrays.

“Welcome back, Your Majesty!” A cold mechanical voice sounded.

“Hello, Sunstrider One.” Kael’thas replied, “Help the Godfather enter the permissions.”

“Tower spirits produced with second-generation technology, it seems you learn very quickly!” Richard took a look at the tower spirit in front of him, then allowed his private tower spirit to contact the other party and obtained authority.

“This was accomplished by the joint efforts of all the great wizards of our elven race!” Kael’thas said proudly.

“Not bad!” Richard nodded. The challenge level of this tower spirit is 23, which is very good in this world.

The computing power of a level 23 tower spirit is enough to smoothly operate the city and control the island’s travel into the astral realm.

After Richard checked the rune array here, he found that the high elves did not learn all the knowledge Richard left behind. Instead, they combined the high elves’ spell knowledge and absorbed the knowledge he left behind, eventually forming knowledge with an elven style.

This way of learning seemed very clever to Richard. If they copied all the knowledge, although it would improve their strength in a short period of time, it would not be a good thing for the elves.

Abandoning their own magical concepts and learning a completely different magical concept will likely cause them to lose their ability to innovate.

After all, although it is faster to just follow the path that others have taken, without going through the research in between, you will only have a superficial understanding of many things, and it will be too difficult to continue to grow.

In the days of the Arcane Empire, humans created their own path based on elven magic.

Now the high elves are on a good path. They have not given up their own path and have absorbed a large amount of advanced magical knowledge, which gives them creative abilities.

The magic net, energy transmission network, and anti-gravity floating rune array in front of us were all built by integrating the two kinds of knowledge, and the elven style was very obvious.

“Godfather, what do you think of our performance?” Kael’thas looked at Richard expectantly, like a student eager to be praised by his teacher.

Richard nodded and said, “You did a great job!”

Hearing Richard’s words, Kelsas immediately smiled, his whole body filled with joy.

“But.” Richard changed the subject and said directly: “Although you have integrated the knowledge that belongs to you elves, you still make the same mistakes as before!”

“There are too many fancy things!” Richard said, pointing to some places on the rune array.

The high elves still haven’t completely changed their previous artistic, luxurious, and beautiful habits. Often, they will deliberately add more runes in order to make the rune array more gorgeous and artistic when it is running.

But in Richard’s opinion, this behavior is unnecessary and a lot of energy has been wasted.

“You elves love beautiful things, art, luxury, that’s true, but you are wrong to let magic succumb to art and beauty.”

In order to balance beauty and artistry, these elves actually made some unnecessary changes in the treatment of some parts of the rune array at the expense of reducing or damaging the power of the array.

“Magic itself is art, which is gorgeous, beautiful and full of miracles. If you want to preserve the art of elves, you should not sacrifice magic, but integrate your art into magic.” “I was wrong, Godfather.” Hearing Richard’s criticism, Kael’thas said seriously.

Richard nodded slightly. What he said just now was actually what the elves in the world of Motela did. They honored art to magic, instead of letting magic succumb to art. This was a fundamental difference.

Next, Richard marked all the problematic areas and asked the elves to modify them themselves, while he observed the problems with the magic particle railgun matrix.

The magic particle railgun has been the killer weapon of arcanists for a long time. After all, the attack speed is about half the speed of light, and the powerful magic particle cannon is still very useful.

Richard discovered through his research on these rune matrices that the energy loss here is very high, at least half of the energy is wasted.

Richard gave a copy of his improved blueprint to Kael’thas, asking him to lead the elven wizards to continue researching and improving it.

After carefully inspecting the entire Quel’Danas Island, Richard had to say that these elves were really bold. They directly made such a large island into a floating island.

It was a bold idea, and it actually worked.

Such a floating island is enough for the high elves to wander into the star realm. As long as they find a suitable place, they can land directly and develop immediately relying on this island.

The island of Quel’Danas is actually a doomsday ship built by the high elves.

Once they are in danger of genocide and cannot defeat the enemy, the high elves can take this spaceship to escape.

It has to be said that the last time they were almost in danger of genocide, they learned a profound lesson for the high elves, and they even built a doomsday spaceship.

Richard deduced that under extreme conditions, the island of Quel’Danas could easily meet the needs of 500,000 high elves for survival and training.

The high elves also used some space extension technology to open up a space on this island. With the abundant energy of the Sunwell, these spaces can produce various magical creatures and can serve as resource points for the high elves.

“The high elves actually moved all the workshops and botanical gardens in Silvermoon City here.” Richard said in surprise.

Everything that Silvermoon City has is available here, and everything that Silvermoon City doesn’t have is also available here.

“It seems that the elves are still afraid in their hearts.” Richard said secretly, “But this is also good, at least the elves will no longer be decadent, lazy, and waste time like before.”

Richard knew a lot about the elves. Compared to humans, elves were the chosen ones of heaven, born with excellent magical affinity, mental strength, and a long lifespan. If it were humans, they would almost certainly become legends.

But how many legendary mages are there among the high elves?
Before the Scourge, the number of legendary wizards of the High Elves was surpassed by humans.
The prince of the high elves actually wants to go to Dalaran, the magic capital of humans, to learn magic.

The elves completely wasted their talents, and only after experiencing the pain of their country being destroyed did these elves begin to work hard.

Richard walked around the island of Quel’Danas again, spending several days recording the entire island, and then asked the tower spirit to optimize the island as a whole.

The high elves still had some gaps in technology, so Richard gave the optimized drawings to Kael’thas and asked them to study and modify them on their own.

On the front line between the Stormwind Alliance and the Quel’Thalas Alliance, the armies of the two alliances are confronting each other. The Stormwind Alliance was very angry after learning that Quel’Danas in the north actually supported Vanessa in making trouble in the Western Wasteland.

To this end, they prepared to launch an attack, wanting to defeat the Kingdom of Lordaeron as soon as possible and end the war.

Because of the problem of the Scourge, the population of the northern countries is no longer as large as that of the Stormwind Alliance. If it weren’t for the Golem Legion and the Mage Corps of Quel’Thalas, Lordaeron would have been occupied by Stormwind by now.

On the battlefield, soldiers wearing thick silver steel plate armor, blue fur helmets on their heads, blue cloaks, holding sharp spears and large shields were lined up in war formation.

In the narrow gaps of their armor, pairs of cold eyes appeared. They had been preparing for today’s war for a long time.

Behind the Stormwind heavy-armored soldier phalanxes were teams of dwarf musketeers, as well as mortar phalanxes, siege artillery, and even a number of roaring steam tanks.

In addition to these, there are a small number of night elf archers, as well as draenei paladins and draenei priests on both sides of the central army.

Although the high elves and night elves are from the same race, they do not get along well with each other.

However, although a large army was formed, both humans and elves deliberately isolated themselves from the steam tank troops and left a large gap.

Obviously, both humans and night elves should have experienced the problems of goblin machinery during this period. After all, the slogan of “goblin technology shocking” is not for nothing.

The performance of those steam tanks is not stable, they might explode at any time.
