The attack on Battleaxe Ridge was undoubtedly aimed at Anveena. Anveena is the embodiment of the Sunwell, and she possesses the energy of the Sunwell. This identity indicates that such attacks will not be a one-off event, because the energy of the Sunwell has too many uses. «-(¯`v´¯)-« »-(¯`v´¯)-»

If Anveena's identity were revealed, the first to jump out would probably be the Sin'dorei of Quel'Thalas, since the Sunwell rightfully belongs to them.

Even demons would covet Anveena, because the energy of the Sunwell is enough to open a portal, a portal that could allow a demon army to enter this world.

Thinking about the things that Anveena had attracted, Zul'ra couldn't help but feel that bringing Anveena to Amani in the first place was like shooting herself in the foot.

Although Zul'ra felt a sharp pain in the back of his foot, he didn't regret it much. After all, he had gained something. Even without Anveena, the Legion and the the Scourge were still enemies he had to deal with. On the contrary, Anveena's presence allowed him to keep track of the movements of the the Scourge and the Legion. In short, he had to protect Anveena.

The first step to protecting Anveena is to find and eliminate the Elves Undead who covets her. However, finding an Undead with no known whereabouts in this Eastern Kingdoms is no easy task, but Zul'ra still has her own methods.

"By the way, what exactly is divination? Is it really accurate?" Anveena looked at the crystal ball the size of an infant's head in front of her and couldn't help but turn her head to ask Tarecgosa in a low voice.

"I don't know, I'm not good at this kind of magic." Tarecgosa looked at Zul'ra with a blank expression, then shook her head at Anveena. Blue Dragonflight are born with law magic, but in terms of knowledge, they may not be as comprehensive as mortals.

"Tch, divination is just a means of obtaining information, using the laws of time and space to find the truth of things." Valeera scratched the stubble on her head in frustration. With the help of the magic potion, her wounds had regenerated, and the newly grown skin and muscles were not as deformed as she had imagined, but the half of her face that was not burned was beginning to turn yellow.

"Valeera, are you really alright?" Anveena looked at Valeera's face and couldn't help but feel a little worried. Anveena's injuries were quite unexpected. The burned areas had regenerated completely, but the unburned parts of her face and body looked increasingly malnourished and yellow.

"Of course it's alright, don't worry." Valeera seemed a little frantic in the face of Anveena's guilty and worried gaze. For her, her face and body could always get better, but she didn't know when her full head of blonde hair would grow back.

"Don't worry, Anveena. Her skin condition is probably due to her constitution; it can be repaired later." Zul'ra couldn't concentrate fully because of the conversation between the three girls beside her.

"What about the hair?" Valeera asked frantically.

"Of course it can grow. Now, keep quiet." Zul'ra had a bit of a headache; he needed a quiet environment for casting spells.

"How long will it take?" Valeera asked, clutching the stubble on her forehead in anguish.

"I need quiet." Zul'ra took a deep breath and repeated her request. This Elves girl's obsession with her hair wasn't feigned, but why did Elves care more about her hair than her face? Was her hair her true essence?

"..." Faced with Zul'ra's words after taking a deep breath, the three girls all pursed their lips. Zul'ra finally calmed down this time, quickly focused her mind, and after her thoughts returned to silence, she began to search for the information she wanted in the air.

Just as Valeera said, divination is a means of obtaining information, and this means mainly relies on understanding the laws governing the world, thereby breaking through time and space to observe things. For example, the legendary Archmage Medivh the Guardian used divination to travel across planetary distances and observe things in Draenor from the Kingdom of Azeroth.

A mage skilled in divination is often also an excellent psychic, like Luke Abraham, the famous psychic of Lordaeron. He was also a prophet who left this theory in his divination book: human consciousness is like a small island in a deep ocean, with only a very small part showing above the surface. So-called prophecy is to let consciousness sail far and deep to see everything more widely, but not to be surprised by what you see.

Zul'ra's prophetic abilities were self-taught through magic books. He had also read Luke's theories and later combined them with his Buddhist knowledge from his previous life, thus gaining considerable insight.

Buddhism believes that the world is full of suffering, which arises from karma created by cause and effect. Suffering creates obstacles, causing people to become confused in the world. Therefore, spiritual practice aims to overcome these obstacles, see the world clearly, escape confusion, enter the state of enlightenment, and ultimately attain Nirvana, freeing oneself from suffering.

Just like time, people use years, months, and days as units to record it, believing that time is constantly flowing. But in reality, the essence of time is nothing more than the process brought about by the movement of the sun, moon, and stars. People and things are constantly changing in this process. Prophecy is about predicting things by observing the patterns of change in people or things.

Zul'ra's consciousness plunged into silence, freeing him from all obstacles. Using his past encounter with the Elves Undead, he quickly grasped the scene, abruptly opening his eyes. The crystal ball placed in front of him and the three girls suddenly lit up.

Tarecgosa, Anveena, and Valeera all stared wide-eyed as the crystal ball, the size of an infant's head, before them lit up and then dimmed, revealing a green light emanating from within. Once the light cleared, they discovered that the green light was a layer of fire.

Within the blazing green flames, a masked Trolls was charred and reduced to ashes. The green flames then dispersed, revealing a male Elves Undead dressed in black and white silk robes with an ashen face.

Faced with the Elves Undead that appeared in the crystal ball, neither Tarecgosa nor Anveena and Valeera could help but gasp. Then, they saw the Undead looking around in the crystal ball, and the scene inside the crystal ball changed as if it were a video, showing many Trolls surrounding the Undead from all sides.

The Trolls inside the crystal sphere had gray-blue skin, mostly dressed in leather and linen clothing, with straight backs and weapons in their hands. They were none other than the Amani'lai. Facing these Amani'lai surrounding them from all directions, the Elves Undead waved his hand, Tarecgosa, Anveena, and Valeera saw a layer of blue light suddenly rise from the crystal sphere in front of them.

"This is footage of his attack." Tarecgosa looked at the image in the crystal ball, then glanced at Zul'ra beside her. He was also nodding at her without saying a word, just staring at the crystal ball. Tarecgosa her gaze back to him.

The blue light on the crystal sphere lasted for more than ten seconds, then dimmed. The Elves Undead had vanished, replaced by a fortress shrouded in orange mist. Although the situation was unclear, the pyramid-shaped psychic structure that was visible was undoubtedly a the Scourge camp.

Seeing the scene inside the crystal sphere, Valeera and Anveena looked at Zul'ra, wanting to speak, but found that the crystal sphere's perspective quickly passed through the layer of orange mist, suddenly taking in the entire the Scourge camp.
