Chapter 107 Nightfallen Elf
Site was originally a steward of the Twilight Winery in Suramar City. His job was to manage his workers to make and provide magic wine to the residents of the entire Suramar City.
Highborne elves who have left the Well of Eternity will have a common problem, that is, their endless hunger for magic power. If they do not receive magic power for a period of time, they will show obvious symptoms of magic addiction, and will gradually be burned by magic addiction. Bad brain until you lose your mind.
Magic wine is a way of absorbing magic power researched by Elisande, the great magister who ruled Suramar. The magic power of the Nightwell is made into a drink through a series of complicated processes for the people to relieve their magic addiction.
The unlucky Seth was involved in the power struggle of the winery by mistake. The two nobles of Suramar wanted the winery to increase the rationing of magic wine to their families.
In a series of open and secret battles, the production of magic wine was greatly affected. Elisande was furious and began to investigate the matter thoroughly. At this time, a group of workers with equal names headed by Seth became the best scapegoat.
A large number of employees of the winery were jointly promoted by two nobles who wanted to appease the anger of the great magister as the main criminals to bear all the responsibilities, and they were finally sentenced to exile.
Fortunately, the skills learned will not become unfamiliar due to changes in the environment. Although Seth and the others were framed and exiled from Suramar City, although they were a little confused for a while, they came to the Meridian River and gathered a group of people who were also exiled. After fellow countryman they quickly entered the state.
Due to the influence of the huge magic barrier that enveloped the city of Suramar, many small crystals condensed by magic power appeared in the entire Suramar area. The night children who were exiled before also relied on absorbing the original magic power in these crystals. Only barely maintained his sanity.
However, as the number of people exiled increased, the number of crystals began to exceed their means. Due to insufficient mana absorption, the nightfallen elves began to appear, and even a small number of withered with their brains gradually began to appear later.
The appearance of the winery workers such as Set is undoubtedly a timely rain for these exiled nightfallen elves. Under their arrangement, the original magic power in the magic power crystal was extracted and processed by the workers to make low-quality magic power wine. .
Although the quality is far inferior to the authentic products made from Nightwell Magic, this kind of inferior magic wine is more efficient than drinking mana crystals directly. The nightfallen's hunger for magic has finally reached a certain level has been alleviated.
However, this is only temporary after all. The nobles in Suramar City don’t care about the life and death of these untouchables living outside the city. The civilians affected in the endless struggle for power are still exiled out regularly and quantitatively.
Grand Magister Elisande turned a blind eye to the actions of the nobles out of the idea of alleviating the population pressure in the city. As long as they didn't cause too much trouble, she would not personally intervene.
But these new populations have increased the pressure on Seth and others, and the supply of low-quality magic wine has become increasingly tight. Recently, even winemakers like them have to risk their lives to find mana crystals in the wild.
Seth, who was looking for crystals today, accidentally found two outsiders who had never seen them before. Judging from their appearance, they seemed to be a kind of elves. Out of vigilance, he planned to hide in the dark and observe the place temporarily. Two outsiders.
However, the ranger's perception is so keen, Charlemagne and Alleria had already noticed his movements the moment this unexpected guest arrived.
After the two exchanged a look, Charlemagne pretended to go back to the tent to rest, walked to the dark side where the fire could not shine, and quickly merged into the darkness.
Stealth, after several months of research, this real thief's stealth skill was finally used by Charlemagne, and now in this dark night where you can't see your fingers, he sneaked up to this creature who was secretly watching them like a fish in water behind.
The uninvited guest with short silver hair in front of him had an extremely thin figure, and was much taller than the high elves in height. The deep-set eye sockets and slightly purple eyes made him immediately understand the identity of this person.
‘Nightfallen…’
Originally, Charlemagne was discussing with Aurelia how to get in touch with this group of exiled people, but unexpectedly, the other party came to the door first.
Beside the fire, Alleria was still calmly roasting the hare she caught in the afternoon, and seemed to have never noticed the abnormalities around her. This situation paralyzed Seth, who was observing in the dark, and he even lost his mind and began to think about the name. The history of elves.
But just when he wondered whether the other party had a connection with the nobles in Suramar City, the sudden slap on his shoulder and the voice from behind frightened him out of his wits.
"My friend, why are you hiding here and peeping at us?"
"ah!"
Scared, Seth jumped back violently, drew out a dagger that he carried with him, and put on a posture in a panic.
Although he has undergone some training from his companions, Seth is not a professional combatant after all. In Charlemagne's eyes, his defensive posture is really full of loopholes. He is confident that he can subdue the Nightfallen in front of him in an instant.
"Hey! Don't get excited. I don't mean anything malicious. You see, I don't even have a weapon in my hand. Why don't you come over to the fire and let's have a good chat? We just want to learn about the local situation."
The other party's frightened posture made Charlemagne a little helpless. He raised his hands to indicate that he had no intention of attacking, and at the same time invited the nightfallen elf to go to the camp to get acquainted.
"Hoo..."
Seth was slightly relieved when he saw that the other party really had no intention of attacking him, but he still looked nervously at the elf he had never seen before, as if he was thinking about his proposal.
Charlemagne was not in a hurry either. He and Aurelia, who had touched him at some point, quietly waited for the nightfallen's response, trying his best to show his friendliness with a smile on his face.
"Who the **** are you two? Why did you appear in Suramar?"
After a long time, the Nightfallen, who had relieved his tension, finally asked Charlemagne.
Although his accent sounds slightly different from the Salas language used by the high elves, it is still easy for the two rangers to understand him.
Charlemagne was overjoyed when he heard that the other party was finally willing to speak and communicate. After tidying up his appearance, he smiled and replied, "We are Quel'dorei living in the kingdom of Quel'Thalas on the eastern continent. This time, we are here to contact Suramar. The Highborne came here by crossing the sea."
