Since Rhodes has the highest authority, he's not worried about these phoenixes betraying him.
"So Rhodes, you're being so generous. How many of these phoenixes do you actually have?" Caponia asked, frowning.
The fact that Rhodes was so generous in giving each of them a phoenix this time means he might even use it as a bargaining chip when trading with Prince Kael'thas.
The female elf clearly guessed that Rhode had more than two phoenixes, but just how many of these powerful creatures did he actually possess?
Is this important?
“Of course it’s important, Rhodes. I need to know exactly how many phoenixes you have. If you want to ask Prince Kael'thas about controlling the phoenixes and enhancing their regeneration abilities, he will definitely ask you for phoenixes as payment.” Caponia’s expression was serious.
"Alright! I can't reveal the exact number because I don't know exactly how many there are, but the great Titan Guardian has given me a new mission this time."
I will save you high elves, or rather, the blood elf race. Then I will give every high-ranking mage in your race a phoenix.
"By the time we reach the Eastern Kingdom, I should be able to summon more than 10 phoenixes!" This is a conservative estimate; as time goes on, he will have more and more phoenixes at his disposal.
"This is truly terrifying. So the Titan Guardians know that something is wrong with our race. Rhodes, there are also records of Titan Guardians in your race."
"Even the Chief Guardian probably can't solve our problem; it's beyond the Guardians' capabilities," Caponia said.
"Don't worry, I told you I have a way." Rhodes revealed a mysterious smile.
"Can you tell me?" Caponia pressed.
This matter was extremely important to the blood elf race; those who had never experienced magic addiction could not understand the pain it caused.
If blood elves don't absorb magical energy for a long time, they will develop problems. High-level mages will be fine, but ordinary blood elves will turn into monsters that resemble zombies.
"Do you know about the Well of Eternity?" Rhodes asked, taking a deep breath.
“Of course I know what the Well of Eternity is. It is said that our ancestors used a bottle of water from the Well of Eternity to build the Sunwell in Quel'Thalas.”
"Rhodes, don't tell me you can get your hands on the Well of Eternity!" The female elf's expression changed drastically.
“In fact, I can get my hands on the water from the Well of Eternity.” Rhodes’ expression instantly turned serious, not at all like he was joking.
"How is this possible? The Well of Eternity exploded 1 years ago."
"No, no, no, think carefully, where did the Well of Eternity in Dath'Remar's hands come from?"
"According to our records, when the Well of Eternity exploded 1 years ago, our ancestors had the foresight to fill a bottle with the water of the Well of Eternity beforehand," the female elf said.
“I didn’t mean to humiliate Dath'Remar Sunstrider, but he was lying.”
The Well of Eternity water in his possession was actually stolen from Illidan. Before the Well of Eternity exploded, Illidan had secretly kept seven bottles of the water.
Three vials of the Well of Eternity water were poured by Illidan into a giant pit on Mount Hyjal, forming the second Well of Eternity.
However, the night elves discovered this, and it was for this reason that Illidan was imprisoned for 1 years. On top of this spring, the night elves built the World Tree as we know it today.
This is the giant tree we saw during the Battle of Mount Hyjal. Archimonde wanted to obtain it because the World Tree was born from the second Well of Eternity.
"Of the remaining four bottles of Well of Eternity water, one was stolen by the first Sun King of the Night Elves." Rhodes shrugged, revealing a secret from the War of the Ancients.
“How is this possible? Rhodes, don’t talk nonsense. How could our ancestor be a shameful thief?” Caponia said angrily.
No one could stand this kind of thing. It's like someone saying that your great-grandfather was actually a shameful thief.
“I know it’s hard for you to accept, but that’s the truth. I’ll find a way to get a bottle of Well of Eternity water from Illidan.”
"If we pour this bottle of water from the Well of Eternity into the Sunwell, all problems will be solved," Rhodes said.
In the level 70 game storyline, the opening quest for the Battle of Mount Hyjal requires obtaining the Well of Eternity from Lady Vashj and Kael'thas respectively.
Illidan still has at least three vials of water from the Well of Eternity. It wouldn't be too difficult for Rhodes to ask for one, given the debt of saving his life.
"Hmph, what if he doesn't give it to you? What are you going to do then?" Caponia asked.
“Then I have a second way to obtain the water from the Well of Eternity,” Rhodes said.
Chapter 167 Magical Elements, Magic-Immune Creatures, Mental Magic Attacks
If I were to travel back 1 years to participate in the War of the Ancients, all I would need to do is fill the well with water from the Well of Eternity. In the era when the Well of Eternity still existed, obtaining water from the well would be much easier.
Moreover, Rhodes was confident that Illidan would provide him with the waters of the Well of Eternity, but the ultimate goal was to defeat the Burning Legion.
“Carponia, don’t forget, Rhodes went to save Illidan with that night elf leader named Tyrande.”
This is a life-saving favor, so asking that being for a bottle of water from the Well of Eternity shouldn't be a problem.
"We could even take two bottles; he won't need them anyway," Jaina said, standing to the side.
The water from the Well of Eternity is truly a treasure, something only mentioned in the history books of Dalaran, said to be an unparalleled gem.
The Blood Elves receive a bottle of water from the Well of Eternity, and the Humans also receive a bottle of water from the Well of Eternity.
Just as the Sunstriders of Dath'Remar could build the Sunwell with a bottle of water from the Well of Eternity, humanity could also use a bottle of water from the Well of Eternity to build a source of magic for humankind in the same way.
As a high mage in Dalaran, Jaina knew all too well just how significant the Sunwell's bonuses were for the high elves.
The Sunwell's magic spread throughout Quel'Thalas, forming a powerful arcane barrier that nourishes all the elves with abundant magic.
The magic of the Sunwell makes casting spells twice as effective, and it is even said that the creation of the Guardians was aided by the magic of the Sunwell.
"Rhodes, I hope it's as you say. We can't control these things, but if you really can get the water from the Well of Eternity..."
"Then it's best to use it individually. In that case, we'll accept the phoenix mount. We hope Your Highness will truly do as you say," Caponia said.
Although the name has been changed, the blood elves were originally high elves, and their race is quite proud. Getting the entire race to rejoin the Alliance and even obey orders is no easy task.
“Of course I’m confident. You’ll see when we get to the Eastern Kingdom,” Rhodes said.
Without even needing to ask, Kael'thas, for the sake of the continuation of his race, would proactively offer to join the Alliance and go serve a foolish human Grand Marshal.
Now that he, the rightful regent, has been brought here by his old friend, who has also brought a way to save his race, it's obvious who Kael'thas will listen to.
“Then I’m relieved, Rhodes.” Caponia nodded to Rhodes.
At this moment, she had to admire the prince's foresight; it was the prince who first discovered Rhodes' value and potential.
When His Highness made the deal with Rhodes, he gave him many benefits and even stood firmly on Rhodes' side during the internal meeting of the alliance.
At the time, Caponia didn't see much benefit in these matters. Rhodes was, after all, just an envoy. Who knew how much the great Titan Guardians had actually invested in him?
Now it seems that there may be more than one Titan Guardian behind him, or even a higher level being. All signs indicate that the one behind Rhodes is very powerful.
"Now you're all willing to accept this special magical pet, right? Oh, by the way, I'll give each of you another special one." Rhodes seemed to have thought of something.
He immediately summoned two creatures, each about five meters tall, wearing red hoods and red robes, radiating magical light, but with an ethereal interior.
These creatures exuded a terrifying magical aura, as if they were a combination of magical energy. The two enormous creatures caught the eyes of the two women.
These two mysterious creatures are magical elementals summoned by Rhode. They are known as exhibitionists and love to pull open their robes for others to see.
In your own Elemental City, the Basic Spirit Altar can generate 4 Spirit Elementals per week, which can then be upgraded to Magic Elementals at the Mountain Fortress.
The Magic Elemental is an extremely powerful Tier 6 unit, arguably ranking among the top Tier 6 units, with combat strength second only to the Death Knight and Naga.
The magic element has 15 points of attack, 13 points of defense, a damage rate of 15-25%, 80 health points, and 9 speed. At first glance, these attributes don't seem particularly strong.
Even in terms of attack and defense, it is not as good as the Tier 6 unit, the Iron Waste Manticore. Its health is only about the same as the opponent's. Moreover, the Manticore is a flying unit. It seems that the Magic Elemental is the worst one.
But if you think that way, you're sorely mistaken. First of all, magical elements are immune to all magic. Like the black dragon, they are the only two creatures in the game that are immune to all magic.
Moreover, his attack method, like that of the black dragon and the phoenix, is also area-of-effect. In addition, this guy has an even more abnormal skill, which is that his attacks are not countered.
These special abilities combined make the magic elementalist a top-tier unit among level 6 soldiers.
Its price is also the cheapest among all Tier 6 units. In fact, when this race was first released, players jokingly said that the designer set the price with their feet.
The upgraded unit only costs 800 gold coins to summon. It only costs 800 gold coins! Designer, why don't you just die?
The Dread Knight costs 1500, but you can buy two for an additional 100. It's the cheapest of all level 6 units, but its combat power is extremely strong.
“What kind of creature is this? How strange, Rhodes, I sense a very powerful magical aura emanating from this creature,” Jaina said, looking at the energy creature in front of her.
Although it was wearing a red hat and a red robe, she could tell that this creature was not a physical life form, but rather an elemental life form.
However, it is not any known element, but a completely unknown elemental entity.
"His magical aura is so strong. I can sense that he is an extremely powerful elemental being. Rhodes, don't tell me that this was also given to you by the Guardian," the female elf asked.
"That's right, just as you guessed, his name is Magic Element, a very powerful elemental entity."
Its combat power far surpasses that of earth, water, ice, and fire elements, and it also possesses a special ability. "You two, try using your attack magic," Rhodes said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the two women exchanged a glance, then separated. Caponia cast a fireball, while Jaina fired an ice spear.
The two magical attacks vanished instantly upon approaching the magical element, as if they were completely unaffected, as if the magic was neutralized by some mysterious force field the instant it got close.
Undeterred, the adopted daughter tried other spells, such as blizzard, flame storm, fire spear, dragon breath, and ice arrow. The two of them used almost every type of attack magic they knew, but none of them had any effect on the mysterious creature in front of them.
The two exchanged a glance, then took a deep breath and used the magical arrow taught to them by Rhodes.
Deep blue magical energy condensed in the two women's hands and was then released, but strangely, even the Titanic magic taught by Rhodes had no effect on the creature in front of them.
They truly achieved magic immunity.
"No need to waste your energy. His name is Magic Element, a very powerful elemental life form. As for their origin..."
"You can only ask the great Titans, perhaps from the Astral Plane. They possess a very special ability: magic immunity. All magic has no effect on them." Rhode explained the terrifying power of magical elements to the two of them.
In terms of magic resistance, even the Phoenix, the leader of the level 7 units, cannot compare to the magic elementals.
“What a joke? How is this possible? Your amazing abilities and the diamond man’s only provide resistance to magic, not immunity, but this guy is completely immune to magic,” Caponia said.
Moreover, Rhodes' astonishing abilities, if they were physical effects produced by magic, such as high temperatures or extreme cold, could cause harm, but this kind of energy-based creature is clearly not susceptible to them.
In other words, the only way to deal with this kind of life form is for a physical melee class to go up and cut it down. But its 5-meter height and the aura it exudes make it look like a dangerous creature.
"Rhodes, our mages' spells are unaffected, so are you also immune to druid nature spells, or orc warlock fel spells, shaman elemental spells, or even the faceless ones' shadow spells?" Jaina asked.
“I said they are immune to all magical attacks; energy magic attacks will have no effect on them.” Rhodes smiled slightly.
He had previously tested attacking magical elements with Chaos Arrow (an evil spell), Fire Arrow, and Shadow Arrow (a shadow spell), but all of them were completely ineffective. Even Holy Light was ineffective; they could neither harm nor heal.
Magical elements are naturally immune to all kinds of energy, but the entanglement of vines in nature magic can capture them because this kind of attack is physical.
However, physical effects like high temperatures or extreme cold have no effect on them. Of course, Rhodes wouldn't dare to guarantee that these creatures' magic would be completely immune to everything when facing Titans or even god-level Sargeras, which would be a bit of a bug.
"Wow, that's amazing. How strong are their attacks?" Caponia asked.
“Their attacks are a combination of mental attacks and primal magical power; they are not purely physical, but rather magical damage,” Rhodes said.
“In other words, your diamond and gold figures can restrain them,” Jaina said.
