The high elven kingdom of Quel'Thalas is also known as the"Land of Eternal Spring". Its political system is very different from that of human kingdoms.
Like human nations, Quel'Thalas also has a king. Due to their contribution to leading the people to reforge the"Sunwell" and establish Quel'Thalas, the Sunstrider family became the royal family of Quel'Thalas. They were called the"Sun Kings" by the high elves and ruled for generations. This country.
However, it is not the king who holds the highest power in Quel'Thalas, but a group called the Council of Silvermoon. The Council is composed of the seven greatest noble lords of the high elves. Due to the high elves' high utilization of arcane magic, these seven noble lords are all mages without exception.
This system, in which the two contradictory political systems of feudal dictatorship and aristocratic republic coexist, is almost impossible to exist in the human kingdom. However, perhaps due to the long lifespan of the high elves, their deep-rooted traditions, and their purer and more arrogant character than humans, this political system has continued in Quel'Thalas.
For Ye Ting, Silver Moon City should be very familiar. After all, in his previous life, he had browsed the scenery of this elf capital in the game.
However, when he actually arrived in the city, he discovered that the miniature area and rudimentary textures in the game could not describe the style of the city at all.
Ye Ting has never seen such a gorgeous city. Even Lordaeron, Stormwind City and Dalaran are inferior to Silvermoon City in this regard.
In this luxurious city, magic and nature blend into one, dotted with expensive arcane crystals and all kinds of gorgeous and magnificent buildings. There are lawn-paved open-air courtyards and ornamental flower bushes everywhere (much of which are magically shaped into impossible shapes). Huge arcane constructs ensure that the residents of Silvermoon City abide by order, and magic brooms The streets are kept spotless - no city can surpass Silvermoon City in its use of arcane magic. The city’s favorite colors are gold, white and red, which have not changed in 700 years.
The mission entered this great city from the main entrance. Under the leadership of the guards, they crossed the city's main road and headed north. Their final destination was the Sunstrider King's Court.
Although high elves always looked down upon humans, when Ye Ting announced his name, he still received a warm welcome.
Not as an envoy, but as a mage.
The high elves' enthusiasm for arcane magic is not unfounded.
After Ye Ting came to the Sun Chaser Court, he received invitations from various high elf lords and mages every day for three or four days, including many members of the Silver Moon Council.
They frequently invited Ye Ting to attend various events, and in order to build a good relationship with the powerful people in Silver Moon City and facilitate the completion of the mission, even Ye Ting, who hated socializing, did not invite most of them.
What made him feel gratified was that, at least under normal circumstances, the middle and high-ranking elves among the high elves were all wizards with superb magic power, and there were very few people who were ignorant or only interested in power. This prevented him from getting into trouble when attending the banquet. The owner is awkward to deal with.
At the banquet, the elves chatted with him enthusiastically, humbly asked him about transformation magic, and admired his theories and magical attainments. At the same time, they also showed Ye Ting their collection of art and various elves' arts. When Ye Ting relied on the insights he learned about art on Earth, he put forward some novel but to-the-point artistic views. At this time, these elves obviously took a higher look at this human visitor.
For three or four days, Ye Ting had a rough understanding of the characteristics of the elves.
This is indeed a race that is different from humans. The way they think about problems is in many cases different from short-lived humans.
Perhaps because their lifespans are long enough, elves usually do not have the same desires and pursuits as humans who want to develop, become stronger, want money, and want power. Their pace of life is quite slow and they spend a lot of time in aspects such as music, poetry, painting, dancing, etc.
However, magic is an exception. Elves are generally keen on magic and worship those with superb magical attainments. However, unlike humans, elves have more sophisticated control over magic and are more focused on it. Although as descendants of Titans, human mages often advance faster than elves in magical attainments, the ones who can make the most of magic are still high elves.
Through a comprehensive understanding of the elves, Ye Ting finally understood why the kingdom of high elves, which was obviously quite powerful, declined rapidly in the decades after the opening of the Dark Portal, experienced countless sufferings, and finally had to take shelter from the orcs. Under his command, all of their royal family died.
It needs to be emphasized that the average quality of the people of high elves in a single round is generally higher than that of humans in this world. If the living standards of human beings in this world are equivalent to those in third world countries, then the high elves are just like the citizens of Western Europe on earth, or even worse. They have generally received all kinds of education, and any one of them will be a high-quality talent who understands art, has skills, and has independent thinking.
At the same time, the various traditions of the High Elf Kingdom are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and they tend to be conservative in politics without the motivation to expand. The quality of the citizens and nobles also ensures that the so-called corruption and oppression do not exist at all. If they are added With sufficiently advanced ideas, high elves could even run into communism - the arcane energy and powerful magic derived from the Sunwell are enough to ensure sufficient productivity.
If Azeroth can remain peaceful, such a kingdom can almost exist like this forever. On the contrary, human society may embark on the road of self-destruction due to a series of internal troubles such as wanton expansion, mutual strife, and conflicts between the people and the nobility.
However, there is no if.
Although human beings are full of desires, suspicious and fickle, and like to fight among themselves, this kind of internal competition and fighting spirit also allows them to respond quickly when facing sudden external dangers, so as not to be swallowed up by disasters. This is what makes them in the dark. The fundamental reason why Azeroth survived and even re-emerged from a series of natural and man-made disasters after the door was opened.
On the contrary, Quel'Thalas, a kingdom that could theoretically survive forever, eventually met a tragic fate due to a series of reasons such as conservatism, slow response, too slow population growth, and overreliance on the Sunwell.
After understanding the information about the elves and building a close relationship with the elves' top leaders, Ye Ting regained confidence in his mission as an envoy.
However, the night before he was about to formally meet with the King of Anasteria and the Silver Moon Council as an envoy, Alleria Windrunner rashly broke into his room. _To read the ununderlined version of the novel, please download Feilu Novel A
