"This is to get them closer and get them to recognize me—at least to some extent as their own."
However, this explanation puzzled Alleria even more.
"This is about their psychological changes. My acquaintance with these elves wants them to approve of my magical skills, but in the same way, my higher than their magical skills will make these elven nobles and wizards face me unconsciously. I will be lower in my heart. Although this emotion may give birth to worship, due to the innate arrogance of elves towards humans, such emotions are more likely to become alienated or even hostile." Ye Ting analyzed.
"Excessive alienation and rejection are not good for my plan, so I need to compensate them appropriately in other ways-art is my choice. Because high elves generally love art, I can express This interest allows them to have a place where they can be'higher self', at least equal to me."
"And accepting gifts appropriately is even more so: First of all, I want to emphasize that most of the gifts I receive are the works of these elves themselves. Such works are not too expensive, but also represent recognition of the art level of the other party. The last reason is It is that the act of accepting a gift will make the gift-giver feel that the gift-receiver is owed to him, which will make the gift-giver feel the psychological advantage of the gift-receiver, so that he is happy to face the gift-receiver-relationship It's so close."
"Sure enough, your mage has a lot of colorful intestines," Alleria curled her lips to Ye Ting, but her eyes were full of smiles, "Forget it, as long as you know it in your heart, it seems that you can indeed I'm going to face those masters of the Silvermoon Council."
Seeing Alleria like this, Ye Ting felt speechless.
This is the so-called love house and Wu, the value of face is justice, and Alleria, who has always been scornful of this kind of political favoritism, not only did not dislike him after Ye Ting showed her complicated side, she was thankful that he had mastered it. The trick.
——Well, please give me two more sisters like this!
Ye Ting thought happily.
Item 0453
As Ye Ting said, the next day, he officially visited the High Elf King Court as a messenger.
If he only relied on the identity of Lordaeron's messenger, perhaps he could only see King Anastrian or certain lords in the Silvermoon Council.
However, the identity represented by Ye Ting can be unusual at this time.
He is the representative of the Alliance of the Seven Nations of Mankind, and can be regarded as the spokesperson of the entire race of mankind.
Such an identity could not help but the elves didn't take it seriously.
After all, the arrogance of the elves towards the human kingdoms is mostly based on the idea of looking at each other. In the eyes of the elves, humans and elves are equal races, while the kings of humans feel that they and Quel'Thalas are equal Countries are equal to each other.
The high elves cannot understand the division of humans, but how can humans understand the racial view of the high elves?
In the court of the Sunstrider King, after the delegation represented by Ye Ting met with the monarchs of Quel'Thalas, they made a straightforward statement about the establishment of the alliance and issued an invitation to the high elves to join the alliance and fight the orcs.
After understanding the demands of the human side, the Silvermoon Council launched a fierce discussion under the auspices of the king. The discussion did not last long, and the results soon came out.
It was King Anastarian who announced the parliamentary decision to Ye Ting.
This is an elderly elder with long white hair and pale complexion. He has a kind face and a gentle voice. Even so, Ye Ting can still feel the pride and majesty of the ruler in his tone and eyes.
"I'm sorry, Archmage Liver," Anastarian said in a regretful tone, "I disappointed you. Quel'Thalas could not accept the invitation to join the Alliance. In your description, the orcs are indeed Very powerful enemies, but they are still far away in the southern continent. We don’t think they can threaten Quel'Thalas by virtue of their power. You should understand that even if they are really close to the city, Quel'Thalas can only Rely on the magic barrier to keep them out of the country. In this case, as the ruler of the country, I can't let my people get involved in conflicts that have nothing to do with us. I hope you can understand."
Although he had long thought that Silvermoon Council would give such a response, when he really heard Anastrian's answer, Ye Ting couldn't help but sigh: The high elves are indeed quite arrogant and xenophobic.
In other words, they are confident that they can solve all problems on their own.
This also destined them to be strong because of pride, and ultimately decline because of arrogance.
However, Ye Ting still did not give up lobbying, he had anticipated such a situation a long time ago.
"His Majesty Anastrian, I can understand your concerns. You really love your people like rumors." Ye Ting did not act aggressively. Facing rejection, his tone remained unchanged. It was as if it was not himself who was rejected. "However, you should consider the covenant between the high elves and humans. Here I want to ask whether the covenant between the high elves and the kingdom of Arathor is still in effect for thousands of years?"
"Of course," Anastrian said in a proud voice, "The high elves will do what they say. We will never betray our allies. However, this covenant was established by us and Thoradin the Great. Knowing that after the split of the Kingdom of Arathor, Thoradin’s descendants are no longer the kings of any of your nations. Therefore, the high elves are not obliged to fulfill this covenant with an alliance that has nothing to do with Thoradin the Great."
"You are right, Your Majesty, the Alliance really cannot ask you to fulfill the covenant. This is our human error." Ye Ting's answer made the Elf King quite satisfied, but soon his satisfaction turned into surprise, "Now, What I want to tell you is that the descendants of Thoradin the Great still exist in the world, and Sir Anduin Lothar from the Kingdom of Stormwind is his direct descendant. I believe you can find this for yourself. Now, The alliance of the nations of mankind enshrined him as the supreme commander, in order to reproduce the great cause of the Great Thoradin back then, to fight against the threat of the orcs."
"So that's it," Anastrian nodded thoughtfully, "Since it is after Thoradin the Great, then we elves must also fulfill our promise."
After that, he looked at the military commanders under the head, Alleria Windrunner was among them, and besides that, Ye Ting also saw a female ranger who was somewhat similar to her.
Even among the outstanding high elves, this female ranger is a beauty without exception.
Like Alleria, she has waist-length golden hair, which is as crystal clear as a wave under the sun, but her hair color is lighter than Alleria, and the color of her pupils is not Alleria’s. Blue, but more gray. At the same time, compared to Alleria, she appeared more arrogant and active.
Ye Ting immediately guessed her identity-the second sister of the three Windrunner sisters, the famous Sylvanas Windrunner.
Ye Ting deeply hoped that his existence would make this beautiful woman stop dyeing her blonde hair black and make her pupils covered with blood red.
While Ye Ting was observing Sylvanas, the female ranger also looked at him with interest.
Sylvanas has long been concerned about Ye Ting. In fact, she is concerned about why her sister cares about a human being so much that she even gave up her patrol mission to return to Silvermoon City and intervened in the most disgusting politics of the past. , Sylvanas was quite curious. You know, in the past, Alleria was opposed to Sylvanas allowing a human to join the ranger team of Farstriders. Isn't the sister's actions now slap her in the face?
Then, after seeing Ye Ting, Sylvanas instantly understood the reasons for everything-she knew her sister too well.
This human being is indeed different from others. He does not have the roughness and rudeness that Sylvanas thinks of human males. On the contrary, he is even more delicate and elegant than many elves. The lips are red and the teeth are white, and the appearance of a handsome young man has changed.
"It's all sister's nemesis!" Sylvanas smiled bitterly, but at the same time, she also developed a keen interest in this young human.
In a sense, the aesthetics of her and her sister are somewhat similar.
For the time being, Sylvanas' thoughts and thoughts are aside, Anastrian has already arranged tasks for these military commanders.
He asked one of them to lead several squads of the Farstriders as reinforcements for the high elves, fulfilling the pledge of allies to support the human side.
Of course, since they have not formally joined the alliance, the number of so-called reinforcements is not large, only a hundred people. Although the average level of elves is much higher than that of humans, this number of reinforcements is still far from Quel'Thalas' military strength. Far from it.
Of course, the same result as the original book did not satisfy Ye Ting. He decided to take out more hole cards, not only to supplement the power of the alliance, but also to draw the connection between the high elves and humans.
In the original book, the humans allowed the high elves to leave the alliance and forced them into the tribe after they called themselves blood elves. It was a rather stupid decision in Ye Ting's eyes.
After he came to Azeroth in this life, both his identity and his innate conditions allowed him to stand on the side of the alliance. In this case, he must maximize his influence while expanding the power of the alliance as much as possible. Moreover, if he wanted the Three Windrunner sisters, he couldn't let the elves leave.
As for the tribe, I will let them die!
Item 0454
As Anastrian expressed, the high elven kingdom has always pursued an isolated and conservative policy, and often will not take the initiative to respond to external threats before it actually reaches its eyes.
The sun well energy source and powerful arcane magic give them enough confidence to uphold such a choice. After all, so far, even in the face of a dragon attack, the arcane barrier of the high elves can firmly protect the inside of the barrier. Nationals.
However, who would have thought that after the opening of the Dark Portal, the entire Azeroth would face such terrible waves of disaster after another?
Therefore, if you want to convince the high elves to join the alliance, you must make these arrogant long ears realize that the existence of the orcs can pose a real threat to them.
In this respect, it is different from persuading the human nations. It is not a good way to simply emphasize the powerful fighting power of the tribe to the Silvermoon Council, the continuous number of orcs, and the existence of Draenor.
For humans, an opponent with a large population and strong military strength is quite worthy of attention, but for high elves, no matter how many orcs there are, no matter how strong the orcs are, how bloodthirsty and aggressive they are. ?
In the face of the powerful arcane enchantment and the continuous arcane energy of the Sunwell, the orcs' combat effectiveness is all paper tigers.
In the face of ruthless magic, the flesh and blood body is powerless after all.
I think that when the high elves were fighting against the forest trolls from Amani, if the trolls hadn't been able to summon the **** Loa, it would be impossible to attack Quel'Thalas only by relying on the army of the trolls.
In the future in the original book, in the face of a steady stream of undead natural disasters that swept through the entire continent of Lordaeron and destroyed the kingdom of Lordaeron, if it were not for the existence of a rape, Quel'Thalas could still rely on the magic enchantment. Move, retreat from the undead natural disasters.
