Rhonin and Antonidas talked enthusiastically until evening, while Jaina, unable to get a word in edgewise, grew increasingly grim.
Although Jaina's individual strength surpasses Rhonin's, she falls far short of Rhonin in terms of extensive knowledge and academic achievements.
Only when he realized he had been bothering her for too long did Rhonin get up to say goodbye, and it was finally Jaina's turn to perform.
Antonidas watched Jaina quietly; this was a rare moment of time for the master and apprentice to spend together.
Jaina took out what she had "stolen" from Medivh —some magic for summoning Archimonde, calculations of spatial coordinates, Demons summoning Magic Circles, and so on—and handed them to her mentor.
"Medivh's knowledge of Demons is astonishing. I suspect he knows more about the Burning Legion than anyone else. It's a pity I couldn't steal Medivh's book; it's protected by some powerful magic, which I couldn't do."
"That's not surprising."
Antonidas flipped through the valuable documents his disciple had stolen:
"The Guardians have fought against Demons, and the knowledge they've accumulated over thousands of years gives them a far greater understanding of Demons than we do. Oh, this is truly a valuable Wealth. Why didn't I notice it sooner?"
Without stealing the crucial item, the Book of Medivh, Archimonde could not be summoned.
Antonidas encouraged Jaina, "Don't be discouraged, there will always be a chance. Tell me about the magic that protects the Book of Medivh, perhaps I can find a way to break it."
Jaina's eyes were red, and she looked heartbroken, seemingly worried about the future of Azeroth.
"Mentor, I need your help."
High Archmage Antonidas has a particular area of expertise that even the Guardian Medivh admires, such as his Mass Teleport and the Water Elementals he summons.
The master leads you through the door, but the practice is up to you. Although Jaina was Antonidas's prized disciple, she unfortunately did not learn her mentor's signature skills. Antonidas also held back some of his abilities from Jaina.
Taking this opportunity, Jaina sought guidance from Antonidas in order to increase her strength.
Antonidas hesitated for a moment. This was a crucial moment, and he absolutely could not give up halfway. In the end, he still imparted this precious magical knowledge to Jaina.
Opportunity always favors the prepared mind. To succeed, one must not be afraid of failure and needs to try multiple times.
Tirisfal Glades, a land reeking of decay, where hordes of Undead are busy at work.
Crypt Fiend are digging deep underground, and hordes of Ghouls are going in and out of the caves, carrying out large amounts of soil.
The people of Lordaeron, these poor Undead, had no choice but to hide deep underground to escape the pursuit of the Silver Hand and the Orcs Legions. They inadvertently discovered an underground cave.
The cave contains a gigantic humanoid corpse. Whether it was Titan Keepers, a mysterious Demons Lord, or some Old Gods, no one knows.
Long ago, the High Elves established their home in Tirisfal Glades, but a few years later, many of them began to go mad and inexplicably lose their minds.
It is said that some evil spirits slumber beneath Tirisfal Glades, but this Legendary has never been proven, and the High Elves have not found the reason, so they had to pack up and move north.
Later, humans established the Kingdom of Lordaeron in Tirisfal Glades, and the influence of these Evil Spirits disappeared. Some analysts believe this is because humans are not sensitive to magic.
This enormous humanoid corpse is Robbie's plan; if possible, he is Archimonde.
According to the Guardians ' records, Archimonde, the second-in-command of the Burning Legion and Demons Lord second only to Sargeras, accomplished nothing when he arrived on the Azeroth Continent, and was practically just a bystander.
Look at what Archimonde did. First, he destroyed Dalaran with Demons curse, a silly spell. This was arguably his most successful feat. He was cool and domineering enough, but it didn't seem to be of much use.
Is destroying Dalaran that difficult? Even a weakened version of the Death Knight, Teron Gorefiend, could break through Dalaran's defenses back then. Why would Archimonde need to do it himself? The demolition capabilities of a large horde of Ghouls would far surpass Archimonde's magic.
Afterwards, Archimonde wandered around Lordaeron and found nothing to do. He forgot his duty as Demons Lord: conquest and destruction. Drawn by the power of the World Tree, he crossed the Great Sea to Mount Hyjal to participate in Azeroth's puzzle game: climbing the World Tree.
As a result, they were blown up by a group of Little Elf.
Comrade Archimonde led a disastrous Legion invasion; he failed to defeat any formidable opponents, nor did he have a chance to demonstrate his strength, and his death was shrouded in mystery—a true disgrace to the Legion.
According to the Guardians ' history, creating a fake Archimonde would be perfectly feasible. Robbie estimated that the fake Archimonde could do just as much as the real Archimonde.
This is Robbie's attempt; he's trying to change history.
Following the long Passageway, Robbie, Arthas, Kel'Thuzad arrived deep inside the cave.
The giant's corpse was relatively intact; the Crypt Fiend had already unearthed the giant's head.
Under the illumination of countless torches, one could see that the giant had grayish-white skin, like some kind of solid rock. His eyes were closed, his face was angular, and his features were somewhat ferocious.
"He's completely dead. I can't find his soul; he must have already entered the Shadow Realm."
Arthas frowned slightly. Helya had sent a Val'kyr to help Arthas, through Val'kyr Arthas learned of the existence of the Shadow Realm and gained more knowledge about the Undead. Helya didn't mention any reward; this could be seen as the beginning of a friendship, or a trial balloon for future cooperation.
Reviving a giant comparable in size to Archimonde is extremely difficult, especially since the giant is already dead. First, powerful magic is needed to activate the sleeping body.
Kel'Thuzad stroked his chin. "It just so happens that Antonidas needs a lot of magic to summon Archimonde, and Dalaran is an important magical node that stores a vast amount of mana. I have a good plan."
Kel'Thuzad's plan was to build a series of transit stations between Tirisfal Glades and Dalaran, and with the help of Rhonin, use the magic of summoning Archimonde to transmit the magic through the Ley Line into the giant's corpse.
Robbie thought the plan was feasible. If the real Archimonde had not entered Azeroth, the surface of history would have remained calm and seemingly unchanged, but mysterious torrents would have appeared beneath.
Kel'Thuzad and the Liches have been busy trying to activate the giant.
Meanwhile, Rhonin of Dalaran finally became Antonidas's agent, busying himself with summoning the Army of the Light.
Rhonin's reputation and status greatly helped him, and he quickly gathered a group of like-minded mages who, under Antonidas's cover, secretly set up a summoning Magic Circle in Dalaran.
The information Jaina stole proved invaluable, saving them from the most tedious exploration phase.
Preparations for summoning Archimonde are progressing smoothly, except for the Book of Medivh, which contains the key summoning rituals, and this can only be accomplished by Jaina.
Antonidas would never have imagined that his so-called secret actions were actually under the control of the Guardians.
Medivh listened to Jaina's report and showed a satisfied expression.
"Antonidas, I know what you're thinking. The Guardians ' immortality attracts you, and you hope to achieve immortality through the Legion's power. Unfortunately, you will ultimately be consumed by your own greed."
"Rhonin?"
Medivh suddenly realized that this was an unstable factor.
He needs to do something to ensure everything goes smoothly.
