Azeroth Shadow of the Moon

Torsedrin has long silver hair that reaches his waist, and a jeweled headband representing the status of a lord on his forehead.

In order to express his welcome to the distinguished guests, he specially changed into a set of gorgeous highborne costumes, and warmly welcomed Linus and his party.

While Linus was habitually using noble etiquette to speak officialdom with Torsedrin, he took the opportunity to observe the demeanor of the high-ranking Syndra present without any trace.

Linus was very puzzled by the full state of mind of these Highborne compatriots.

‘It shouldn’t be, did Syndra find some kind of brand new energy source? '

"cough~"

A light cough from behind interrupted Linus' distraction, he hastily collected his mind, and concentrated on dealing with Torsedrin's somewhat over-enthusiastic greeting.

After a while of meaningless high-level elf-style greetings, the two finally brought the topic to serious business.

Holding the wine glass in his hand, Torsedrin looked at Linus with what seemed to be deep meaning and asked, "Mr. Starmark, since the war with the demons ended, Elesalas has not had any contact with his compatriots from the outside world for more than 200 years. I have contacted you, is there anything important for your visit this time?"

Linus subconsciously glanced sideways at Andrea, who was sitting in the far seat opposite, and Torsedrin keenly noticed his shift of sight for just a split second.

'Look at others before answering the question. Could it be that there are people with a higher status than the Xingshen family hidden in this visiting team? or……'

Torsedrin followed Linus' line of sight without any trace, but he didn't find anyone making eye contact with this descendant of the Starscar family.

'Am I overthinking? '

Andrea, who buried her head in eating, sighed silently in her heart, "Linus is still immature. This kind of performance is a lack of confidence in himself. This kid needs more experience." '

Noticing Torsedrin's gaze, Linus, who didn't get a response from Andrea, felt his heart tighten. He also realized that his subconscious behavior of asking for advice could easily arouse suspicion.

"Sorry, Prince Torsedrin, I was distracted."

Trying to maintain an elegant posture to apologize to Torsedrin, Linus explained with a smile, "After the world fell apart, we have been trying to find our compatriots scattered all over the world."

"But Azeroth has undergone tremendous changes during the disaster that swept the world. In order to get familiar with the new world and gain a firm foothold, we spent more than 200 years. It was not until recently that we cleared up many problems around the territory. Head south to find the Syndra brethren lost in the wilds of Feralas."

Torsedrin nodded noncommittally, "I see. As the leader of Syndra, I would like to express my gratitude to Mr. Starstreak again, but..."

Leaning his right hand on the armrest to prop up his side face, Torsedrin asked suspiciously, "Forgive my ignorance, as far as I know, the current High Priest of Elune is currently in charge of the highest authority of the night elves."

"And that High Priest has a deep prejudice against the Highborne. If Mr. Starmark is here to recruit us on her behalf, I advise you to give up your thoughts as soon as possible."

Torsedrin shook the wine glass in his hand, and the dark red wine swayed gently in the glass.

"Although the life of El Salas was very poor after the war, we are not willing to abandon our dignity in order to survive."

Linus raised his brows, and the other party's words concealed a sarcasm towards the Anarchis Highborne. If Linus was really visiting on behalf of Tyrande, he should have been furious by now.

Andrea, who was buried in a drink, had a flash of light in his eyes, "I didn't expect that Erezalas, who had been isolated from the world for many years, still kept paying attention to the outside world. It seems that Syndra is not completely closed off like Torsedrin's self-effacement." . '

"Haha~ The prince is right."

Contrary to Torsedrin's expectations, Linus let out a hearty laugh without hesitation.

"I don't have a good opinion of the group of Highborne compatriots who are servilely kneeling under the restriction of the High Priest of Tongue Wind. I am not here on behalf of her."

Torsedrin's face became serious, and he sat up straight again. "Oh? I would like to hear more about it."

Linus smiled lightly and said, "I represent a hero who also participated in the Battle of the Well of Eternity, the Shadow High Priest of Elune's emerging sect Darkmoonshadow—His Excellency Andrea Moonshadow."

"Moon Shadow..."

Torsedrin pondered for a moment before asking, "Is it the rumored other favored one of Elune? I have indeed heard some sporadic rumors about him, but..."

Looking at Linus with a half-smile, Torsedrin asked meaningfully, "That is to say, this shadow high priest is at odds with the ruler of Anarchis, and he left to establish a new force, and you are Come to Eresalas to recruit Syndra on his behalf?"

"Exactly."

"Heh~ Interesting."

Torsedrin chuckled and said, "Sindra has been closed in Elesalas all year round, and the changes in the outside world don't have much impact on us."

"Mr. Xinghen, if you want to persuade us to join His Excellency Moon Shadow's camp, you must at least show some decent sincerity?"

Long before entering El Salas, Linus had already received instructions from Andrea, and at this moment he smiled confidently and said, "The prince is quick to speak, and I don't want to continue beating around the bush."

"Since the collapse of the sky, only we, the Highborne, know best. Without the Well of Eternity as a source of magic power, the Highborne, who are used to absorbing high-purity arcane energy, have shown an extremely uncomfortable symptom."

"Dath'Remar Sunstrider, the leader of the high elves of Anakis, named this symptom Mana Addiction."

Linus looked at Torsedrin's gradually serious expression, and smiled calmly, "As long as Elesalas is willing to join our camp, on behalf of Lord Andrea, I promise that I can help Syndra solve the lack of energy. The symptoms of magic addiction caused by the source, what does the prince think of this condition?"

...

During the banquet, he repeatedly confirmed that Linus was not joking. After the welcome banquet, Torsedrin immediately called Syndra's senior management to discuss how to respond to the other party's solicitation.

In the early morning, the drunken upper elves of Moonlight Town who participated in the banquet were led to rest in the guest room by the waiters, and Linus, whose face was flushed from drinking, also crookedly entered the room that Syndra had arranged for him.

Just entering the house, Linus' hazy eyes suddenly became clear, and he bowed respectfully in the empty room except himself.

"Master Andrea, please give me the next step."

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

A vague shadow appeared out of nowhere in Linus' room, and Andrea nodded to him in satisfaction.

"Linus, you must be very puzzled, where did Elesalas get the magic power, and why he can maintain the magic addiction."

Linus nodded solemnly and replied, "Yes, Elesalas is just a hidden city that preserves important arcane knowledge. Simply put, it is a big library. They don't keep a large number of artifacts like Suramar, and they also It is impossible to obtain water from the Well of Eternity like Illidan."

"It stands to reason that it is impossible for them to get rid of the symptoms of magic addiction."

Andrea smiled noncommittally, "The answer will be revealed soon, so let's wait patiently for now. I don't have a good impression of Prince Torsedrin. I'm afraid that guy is not a kind person."
