After sending Deren and Anveena away, Jaina returned to his Mage Tower. In the secret room on the top floor, Aegwynn was drinking tea under the dim light.
"Teacher, drinking tea late at night is not good for your health." Jaina advised.
"Don't worry, my body won't collapse for a while. Let the old guy enjoy it." Although Aegwynn said this, he still put down the tea cup. Then he asked tentatively, "In addition to that young man just now, oh, your Tactical Advisor. There is another strange being who is also your friend?"
"Yeah!" Jaina knew that he couldn't hide it from the teacher, "She is a magical creature."
"Humanoid magical creatures are quite rare!" Aegwynn's thoughts drifted away, and it took a while before he came back to his senses, "I'm sorry, as I get older, I can't help but recall the past. Oh, she has a good relationship with your consultant. What do you think?"
"What do you think?" Jaina was stunned by the question and did not respond.
"It's okay, your relationship is really good." Aegwynn said with some envy, then stood up, "Come on, hurry up and let us continue to study!"
"Okay, teacher!" Jaina also cheered up. A silent frost spell was cast on himself. After a chill, his mind became much clearer. Then he devoted himself to learning magic with great energy.
Even if I use a lot of sobriety potions, there are side effects. Tonight Jaina decided to use the frost spell.
In the laboratory, the beads of sweat on Jaina's forehead glistened under the magic lamp. Her fingertips were trembling as she maintained a complex rune array while being distracted by Aegwynn's teachings.
"Raise your wrist three more points," Aegwynn sipped her scented tea and leaned leisurely on the armchair, "The angle of the seventh rune is wrong, try again."
Jaina gritted his teeth, wiped away the sweat that was about to drip into his eyes, and started drawing again. Just when the runes were about to be completed, Aegwynn suddenly spoke:
"Can I meet your magical friend when you have time?" The old guardian's voice was understated, as if he was discussing today's weather. "I haven't been interested in something for a long time."
"I want to ask Deren! It should be no problem." Jaina replied with difficulty and was distracted.
"That young man who talks so much about goblins?" Aegwynn raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "Interesting." She suddenly stood up, her robe moving automatically without any wind.
"Deren is a very nice person." Although Jaina tried his best to maintain the rune, he still defended Deren. Then he added, "If you go to his house as a guest, please don't be too surprised!" The situation at Deren's home is really hard to describe.
"His home can't be as dangerous as Dragon Lair, right? I'll definitely go and take a look if I have the chance." Aegwynn showed a curious smile, flicking his fingers, and the rune array in front of Jaina suddenly became three times more complicated. "Rewrite the first chapter of <Ancient Energy Resonance Theory> tonight and give it to me before sunrise tomorrow."
Jaina Looking at the reference books that instantly piled up on the desktop, I wanted to cry without tears.
Theramore's market is as lively as ever. Jaina shuttles between the stalls with three red Dragon Maid, and the basket Misha is carrying is already filled with fresh vegetables and spices.
"Madam, look!" Luna suddenly pulled Jaina's sleeve and pointed to the dock area in the distance. There were dozens of orcs gathered there. Their green skin was particularly conspicuous in the sun, and they were excitedly making famous hand gestures to discuss something.
Jaina frowned. "The atmosphere in the orc area is not right lately."
After returning to Deren's residence, she immediately reported the situation. Deren looked thoughtfully at Chromie who was eating an apple. "Can you see what happened on Timeline?" She had just returned from a mission.
Bronze Dragon wiped his mouth, took out Hourglass of Time and shook it gently. The sand particles formed blurry pictures in the air: Orc workers lined up in front of Orgrimmar's tax office; an orc mother hid in the cargo hold with her child in her arms; Garrosh waved a tomahawk angrily at a rally
"Horde began to impose heavy taxes on families who went out to work," Chromie explained, "Some families simply fled to Theramore to settle down. They are very afraid of the future."
Deren's finger tapped on the table. "It seems that Garrosh's movements are faster than we expected."
Onyxia was lying lazily on the sofa, his head resting on Deren's thigh. "Has that green-skinned fool finally taken off his disguise?"
"I'm afraid so." Deren stroked Black Dragon Princess's long hair, "Horde's internal conflicts have reached the verge of breaking out. The conflict between the traditionalists and the reformists has become more and more intense. Thrall doesn't know what he is doing. Maybe he himself has not understood his position."
"After all, he is also an orc. While he wants to lead his tribe to create a new living space, he has grown up listening to the stories of his father's orcs since he was a child. The palms and backs of his hands are full of flesh. It is not easy to choose. Why not let Garrosh come on stage and give it a try.
"I estimate that he may no longer be in Orgrimmar, so that Garrosh can free up his hands and feet. He is most likely to sneak to Draenor Outland and recruit some traditional orcs to come back."
Chromie checked Timeline according to Deren's inference, and she said excitedly, "Deren, you are so right! Thrall is recruiting people at Outland. Now Orgrimmar is headed by Garrosh."
Deren smiled and said, "This is the case for all those who play politics. If Garrosh does a good job, he will become invisible and never come back, and no one will forget how good Thrall is."
"If Garrosh messes up, Thrall will come back quickly to clean up the mess and repair relations with all parties. You see, it's just a child who is ignorant and makes everyone angry. Seeing my face, I asked him to apologize to everyone. If it doesn't work, we will exile him and never let him come back."
As he spoke, he imitated the tone of Thrall and performed for everyone to see. There was a room full of female dragons and female wells, and the women were laughing and trembling.
Late at night, Theramore was completely silent. A dazzling Arcane flash suddenly lit up in the living room of Deren's house, and the magic energy stirred up the picture frame on the wall to buzz. It seemed that due to positioning problems, it tried to break Black Dragon's protective barrier.
Onyxia was the first to wake up, Dragon Awe exploded instantly, and black scales covered half of her face. Chromie rolled directly from the bed to the bottom of the bed, still holding the pillow tightly in her hand. Sanjohong Dragon Maid rushed out of the guest room in panic, her pajamas in a mess.
Aegwynn stepped out gracefully from Portal and looked at the sleepy "guests" with interest.
"One Black Dragon, one Bronze Dragon, and three Red Dragon," she joked, "Did I really break into Dragon Lair?"
Deren came down the stairs in her nightgown, holding Chromie in her hand. "Ms. Aegwynn? What happened?"
The old guardian's eyes suddenly locked on Anveena who had just walked out of the room. "Ah, that rare magical creature." She walked closer and observed carefully, "The energy structure is so strange, like wait." She turned to Deren suddenly, "What kind of collecting hobby is this? Do you have so many special existence females at home? Can your body still bear it?"
