Chapter 254 - Chapter 255: Prince Nordahid

Just how high was Tydasshid's talent?

He learned basic spell knowledge at a glance, whether it was Arcane spells, Druid spells, Holy Light spells, or Elemental spells.

Such talent, if Lunden were to train him into a fool who only cared about spell damage, would be too great a pity.

Among the mage system, Lunden's Explosive Faction was the most criticized. Unless a mage's talent was truly limited, they would not choose the Explosive Faction as their main direction.

By the time he was eight years old, he had already become a full-fledged mage.

At ten years old, he had learned all the spells in the Elemental Spell Codex.

What about the other Kaldorei? Many mages who participated in the War of the Ancients are still studying the Elemental Spell Codex, marveling at the casting ideas recorded within it.

The younger Kaldorei of his age, the slightly smarter ones, had just become spell apprentices. The foolish ones were still playing in the mud.

The world temporarily returned to peace, and the Kaldorei Empire also entered a period of rapid development. With the growth of this generation of Kaldorei, the Empire showed a flourishing trend.

Ulduar suffered too great a loss in this battle. There were too many things that Algalon needed to decide, and the other three Titan Guardians could offer very little help.

Freya had her own work; she needed to monitor the entire ecosystem of Azeroth. This matter had been shelved for thousands of years due to her previous imprisonment.

Now that she was free, Freya immediately resumed her old profession.

She first went to Sola Basin to meet her avatar and analyze the impact of the Well of Eternity's explosion on the local ecology. Then, she teleported to Un'Goro Crater via The Creation Platform.

Both of these basins were experimental grounds she established, playing an important role in transforming Azeroth's ecological environment.

Of course, there was also the Vale of Eternal Blossoms. However, because Pandaria was shrouded in Shao Hao's mists, Freya couldn't find the Vale of Eternal Blossoms for a while.

However, even just studying these two places would take her a long time.

Mimiron was restoring Ulduar's defensive capabilities. In this war, all of Ulduar's various defensive machines were destroyed by Odyn and Gale; he had to restore them all to prevent a Faceless One assault on Ulduar, which would free Yogg-Saron again.

Hodir returned to The Creation Platform; he was responsible for Ulduar's external defense.

As a Guardian, he gathered the Ice Vrykul and Frostborn Dwarves under his command. Then, he reached an offensive and defensive agreement with Adal, establishing three lines of defense.

The first line was Twin Peaks Fortress and The Creation Platform, the second was Icefort and Brendashir, and the third was to build a new fortress in the southern part of the glacier, northwest of the goblin stronghold K3 on the game map.

The Storm Temple's Dragon Knights served as support troops, providing aerial support for the three defense lines.

In return, Hodir allowed the Valkyries to take the souls of Frost Giants, Ice Vrykul, and Frostborn Dwarves after their deaths, promoting them to become Valarjar.

Under these circumstances, the task of finding Azadas and Leiden could only be done by Algalon. Fortunately, this war did not kill all of Loken's army.

Kolonthian and Auraya were still alive, and many Steel Dwarves also survived. Algalon activated the Forge of Wills, reforging all of Loken's subordinates and then sending them out.

However, their numbers were too small, and finding Azadas and Leiden might take a very long time. It was even possible they would never be found.

Odyn's death allowed the Kaldorei Empire to occupy Stormheim. The Mire Sea Port clan's long-standing strongholds all had excellent living environments. Coupled with Nordrassil's presence, the most dangerous Storm Dragons in Stormheim were directly dealt with.

Now, the entire Stormheim could be called a paradise for the Kaldorei.

Hovswald, Claw's Rest, Aggramar's Vault, Mire Sea Port, Valdisdall, Skold-Ashil, Nashal…

Appointing governors to these places, and gradually migrating Kaldorei to live there.

This work was slow, but after this generation of Kaldorei grew up, it accelerated.

The new batch of Kaldorei numbered nearly forty thousand. Although they couldn't fill Nordrassil's space, the sudden increase of forty thousand laborers immediately overwhelmed Nordrassil's employment capacity. According to Gale's calculations, at least thirty thousand people needed to be relocated to alleviate the employment pressure.

Stormheim, in its full recovery and reconstruction, could completely absorb so many laborers. With everything in ruins, more people were actually better.

However, for the next hundred years, Gale would no longer use policies to migrate Kaldorei to Stormheim.

Firstly, Stormheim was very close to Nordrassil, so Kaldorei could go there voluntarily. Secondly, other lands of the Kaldorei Empire were also vast and sparsely populated, and also needed a large number of laborers to fill the gaps.

According to Gale's calculations, the Kaldorei Empire would have at least three hundred thousand more people in the future. However, if these people were to fill other parts of the Broken Shore, Northrend, Redridge Mountain, and the Eastern Continent, it would definitely not be enough.

Let alone three hundred thousand; even three million, Gale would still consider insufficient.

Not to mention, there was still a large amount of land on the Kalimdor continent that had not been reclaimed.

The strategic direction had been set; governance would proceed methodically. During the recuperation phase, not too much policy guidance was needed; letting the Kaldorei reproduce wildly was the best strategy.

Gale had more leisure time and gradually shifted his focus to his family.

Whenever he had time, he would take Tydasshid under Teldrassil, allowing him to feel the majesty of the World Tree and how it circulated energy.

He admonished Tydasshid: "The explosion of the Well of Eternity has shaken the foundation of the world. The roots of the World Tree can penetrate deep into the ground to stabilize the continent's foundation. But beneath the surface, there are terrifying monsters that constantly seek to destroy this world. Therefore, in the future, you must pay more attention to Teldrassil, lest it be destroyed by those evil monsters. Your name comes from Teldrassil; guarding it will be your responsibility."

Gale also did not want his son to bear such a heavy burden at such a young age, but there was no other way. He was born noble, so he had to bear more than others.

To ensure Tydasshid did not forget his responsibility, at his coming-of-age ceremony, Gale conferred a title upon him in front of all his subjects.

"In the name of the monarch of the Kaldorei Empire, I hereby confer upon Tydasshid, son of Gale, the title of Prince of the Earth."

The eternal spear touched Tydasshid's shoulders twice, and a set of black armor enveloped Nordrassil.

He took out the hammer of khaz'goroth, "From now on, it will be your weapon, and it will also be your tool for forging the world."

Tydasshid excitedly took the hammer, "Father King, I will protect Nordrassil and the Kaldorei Empire!"

He raised the hammer of khaz'goroth high, and the cheering of the subjects present erupted like thunder.

On the high mountains to the northeast, countless Storm Dragons soared into the sky, letting out joyful roars, expressing their blessings for Tydasshid.

Alexstrasza, who was invited, also offered her blessing: "Child, may you always have a strong body."

Tydasshid politely returned the bow, then happily ran into the crowd to find his companions and celebrate with drinks.
