In front of Jaina's Mage Tower, Kalecgos is carefully decorating his "Love Nest" - a translucent blue dome structure built with magic and crystals, covered with sparkling goblin glass products. He glances at Mage Tower affectionately from time to time, as if his sweetheart lives there.
Theramore The goblin who sold fake glass gemstones actually made a lot of money from it - Kalecgos went out without any money, but for the sake of his love, he reluctantly pulled out a few dragon scales and replaced them with a bunch of sparkling glass. It made his Love Nest look much more high-end.
"What is this?" Kael'thas stared at this scene in shock.
Deren coughed dryly. "As you can see, Blue Dragon. uh. fell in love with this Sunwell."
Kael'thas's delicate eyebrows almost flew into the hairline. "Falling in love? A well?"
"To be precise, it's the energy of the well." Jaina added weakly.
Kalecgos noticed the new elf and immediately stood up straight with vigilance. "I am Kalecgos, the guardian knight of Sunwell. Who are you?"
He was inexplicably hostile to this elf. Although it was his first meeting, he seemed to be Sworn Enemy.
Kael'thas raised his head, the majesty of the king naturally revealed. "I am Kael'thas·Sunstrider, the king of Quel'Thalas, the previous owner of Sunwell, of course now Sunwell belongs to Theramore."
"Owner?" Kalecgos's eyes narrowed, "You can't 'own' such a beautiful source of energy! She is free!"
Kael'thas was confused by this sudden hostility. "What? No, I mean."
Kalecgos was already excited, and the blue Arcane Energy was flowing around him. "I won't let you tarnish her purity! She is so perfect, so"
"Wait a minute," Kael'thas finally reacted and turned to Deren, "Is he serious?"
Deren nodded. "Very serious."
Kael'thas looked at Jaina again, who gave him a helpless look.
The Elf King took a deep breath and tried to communicate in a rational way. "Sir Kalecgos, I am here to study the Sunwell energy recovery phenomenon. This is very important to my people."
"Research?" Kalecgos's voice raised an octave, "You want to extract her energy! I will never allow it!"
Kael'thas also began to lose patience. "That's Theramore's property! It's not yours."
"She is no one's property!" Kalecgos almost shouted.
Deren quietly took a few steps back to make room for the conflict that was about to break out. Chromie appeared beside him at some point, holding a handful of melon seeds in his hand.
"Do you want it?" Bronze Dragon handed over the melon seeds, "I bet five gold coins that Kael'thas will make the first move."
Onyxia also appeared from the shadows. "I bet Kalecgos will spray Frost Breath first."
Jaina looked at the group of guys who were just watching the excitement, raised his forehead and sighed, "Can you guys be more formal?" Then he saw Deren also grabbed the melon seeds.
"I won't let you get close to her!" Kalecgos opened his arms to block Mage Tower, like a young dragon protecting food.
Kael'thas's gorgeous king's robe automatically moved without wind, and magic energy gathered at his fingertips. "I don't care what you think, Sunwell is very important to us Quel'dorei!"
"She chose me! I can feel it!"
"A well doesn't 'choose' anyone!"
Deren, Chromie and Onyxia were sitting in rows on a bench not far away, each holding a handful of melon seeds and watching with gusto.
"This is more exciting than Dalaran's drama." Chromie cracked the melon seeds, "Do you think they will fight?"
Deren shrugged. "Kael'thas actually has a good temper, but Kalecgos" he wanted to say that in his last life, no, in normal Timeline, they also fought together for Sunwell.
"It can drive a saint crazy." Onyxia answered and grabbed a few melon seeds from Deren's hand.
In the middle of the field, the quarrel between the two "heavyweights" has escalated.
"You don't understand her beauty at all!" Kalecgos said excitedly, "Her golden energy flow, her gentle magic wave"
Kael'thas had veins popping up on his forehead. "That's the source of magic that our clan has cultivated for thousands of years! It's not a date!"
"Your utilitarian attitude is what she hates the most!"
"She? A well? Disgusting?" Kael'thas's voice began to tremble, "Did you hit your head in the Nexus?"
Jaina finally couldn't bear it anymore and stood between the two of them. "That's enough!" Her staff hit the ground hard, stirring up a circle of frost, "Kael'thas, Kalecgos, please calm down."
The two parties temporarily stopped arguing, but still glared at each other.
Jaina turned to Kael'thas: "I can guarantee that Sunwell's energy has not been abused or over-extracted. In fact, since Kalecgos, uh, guarded here, the energy has become more stable."
She looked at Kalecgos again. "His Majesty Kael'thas is only concerned about his people's former sacred objects and has no ill intentions."
Kalecgos looked at the Elf King suspiciously. "Really?"
Kael'thas reluctantly nodded. "I just want to confirm Sunwell's status." He hesitated and added, "If it really likes you, I won't object."
Kalecgos's expression immediately changed from gloomy to clear. "Really?"
"Really." Kael'thas sighed, "But I need to check its status regularly."
Kalecgos thought for a while and suddenly showed a bright smile, "Deal!" He held Kael'thas's hand enthusiastically, "You are welcome to visit us at any time!"
Kael'thas was caught off guard by this sudden change and withdrew his hand in embarrassment. "Uh, thank you."
In the audience, Chromie put away the melon seeds in disappointment. "That's it? No fight?"
Onyxia curled his lips. "Waste of my time."
Deren looked thoughtfully at the two reconciled people. In his memory, Kael'thas and Kalecgos in the original Timeline were supposed to be mortal enemies - one kidnapped Sunwell's energy incarnation Anveena, and the other vowed to protect it to the death. But now.
"Maybe it's better this way." He whispered to himself, almost making him laugh.
Jaina came over and sat next to him tiredly. "Next time something like this happens again, I will just open a Portal and throw them to Dalaran. My teacher will be very interested in this and study it."
Deren smiled and hugged her shoulders, "At least Kael'thas is in a good mood now, and the trade agreement should be signed smoothly." Black Dragon rolled his eyes and said nothing.
Jaina looked at Kalecgos and Kael'thas who were talking passionately in the distance - the former was dancing and describing how "beautiful" the energy of Sunwell was, while the latter looked helpless but listened patiently - couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle:
"The world is getting weirder and weirder."
"But it's fun, isn't it?" Deren smiled.
In the sky, the sun shines through the clouds and shines on Mage Tower, reflecting warm golden light. Kalecgos looked up at this scene with an expression of extreme happiness on his face.
Kael'thas followed his gaze, and his expression gradually softened. Perhaps, in this world where the Elf Kingdom was shattered and then rebuilt, some unreasonable beauty is indeed needed.
Kael had a good meeting with Kyle's classmates and guarded Sunwell together. Under the sun, the shadows of the two standing side by side were like statues!
