Compared with the last time Aaron came to Dalaran, this magical city is still the same as before. Various magical objects created by magic can be seen everywhere. From time to time, you can also see some mages discussing Arcane knowledge passing by.

When passing Wishing Well, Aaron couldn't help but move his eyes over. Rhonin, who noticed the changes in Aaron, seemed to remember the other party's behavior when he brought Aaron here to make a wish last time. He smiled and said, "Aaron, are you still thinking about fishing for coins in the pool?"

Aaron shook his head, saying that he had no such idea, but his eyes would still drift in that direction from time to time, looking particularly reluctant to leave.

After noticing the abnormality of Aaron, Vereesa approached Aaron and asked in a low voice, "Is there anything special about this fountain?"

Aaron's eyes wandered for a moment, and seeing that Rhonin was not paying attention at this time, he whispered, "Remember that we made a wish here before, right?"

Vereesa nodded, the expression on his face was still confused. "So what?"

Aaron lowered his voice again and said, "I remembered later that anyone who makes a wish in this Wishing Well will basically have misfortune."

"Is... is that so?" Vereesa originally wanted to say that Aaron was just a random thought, but when she thought about Aaron's identity as a prophet, she was a little unsure whether she should believe it or not.

Aaron sighed lightly and said, "Forget it, this story is actually not reliable, just treat it as a lie."

What Aaron is thinking is that Dalaran will be destroyed by Archimonde in the future. By then, this Wishing Well will definitely no longer exist. Then there will be no need to consider the curse of this evil Wishing Well.

"What wish did you make in this unlucky pool?" At this moment, Xal'atath suddenly said.

Aaron then told Xal'atath about his wish. Xal'atath was silent for a long time before suddenly laughing wildly. After laughing for a while, he mocked. "Are you still a child? You actually wish for world peace. It's so funny, hahahaha."

Aaron's face became a little ugly, and he retorted, "Can't I have the world in my heart?"

"Hahaha, okay, okay, it's you who has the world in mind, it's your noble character... Hahaha, no, I still have to laugh for a while." Xal'atath just didn't project her body, otherwise she would probably be rolling on the ground laughing wildly at this moment.

"Aaron, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so ugly?" At this time, we happened to reach an intersection. Rhonin, who was leading the way, just turned around and wanted to remind the two people behind to follow him. However, he saw that Aaron's face became extremely ugly, and he hurriedly asked him if something was wrong.

Aaron waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, I just remembered something. Rhonin please continue to lead the way."

Rhonin glanced at Aaron suspiciously. Seeing that Aaron had no intention of explaining, he suppressed his doubts and continued to lead the way.

"Actually, I don't think you need to worry about this at all." Xal'atath and Aaron seemed to have finally laughed enough.

Aaron responded with a dull sound and motioned to Xal'atath to explain it carefully.

Xal'atath thought for a while and said, "Think about it, when did you enter Dalaran in... that game, and when did you put the coins in it?"

Aaron was startled when he heard this, and then reacted, "What do you mean..."

Xal'atath reminded Aaron that he also reacted. The Dalaran he saw in the game was rebuilt after being destroyed by Archimonde. So where did the coins in this Wishing Well come from? This question is worth pondering.

"Perhaps it's the evil intention of a mage responsible for rebuilding Wishing Well?" Xal'atath said.

Aaron nodded slightly, and the expression on his face improved a lot. However, this matter was originally a psychological problem. After all, not everyone who dropped coins in Wishing Well encountered misfortune, but many people did.

"Okay, this is the residence of Master Antonidas." Rhonin pointed at a small complex building on the edge of the square in front of him. There are mostly similar buildings near this small building, presumably the residences of mages with relatively high status in Dalaran.

"Excuse me, is Master at home now?" Rhonin opened the door below and walked in, followed by Aaron and Vereesa.

Antonidas's residence is not very big. Behind the door is a very ordinary hall. Except for the many books on the bookshelves standing on one wall, this room is no different from the residence of an ordinary wealthy family. Not to mention Lordaeron's palace, even Sylvanas's mansion is much better than this.

Aaron As soon as they approached the hall, they heard a girl's voice coming down from the stairs. The three of them looked up and saw a blond girl coming down from the stairs. Jaina said as he went downstairs, "Sorry, Master Rhonin, the teacher is doing a key experiment, please wait a moment."

However, Jaina quickly noticed the other two people. "Mr. Aaron and Miss Vereesa? Long time no see." With that, Jaina bowed to the three of them, invited them to sit down, then went to the shelf on the side and took down a set of exquisite tea sets, and began to make tea for the three of them.

"Hey, show off." Rhonin sat next to Aaron and whispered. I don't know if it was Aaron's illusion, but there was a hint of jealousy and sourness in Rhonin's tone.

"Show off?" Aaron was a little confused at first, but when he took a closer look at the way Jaina made tea, he was shocked: Jaina actually summoned a ball of fire to make tea.

Aaron vaguely understood why Rhonin was jealous. As far as he knew, Jaina came to Dalaran to study only in the past few years, and she was already able to use magic so skillfully. This girl's attainments in magic were indeed extraordinary.

"Ah, this is what the teacher told me. He said that this will help improve the ability to control magic." Jaina noticed Aaron's surprised look and hurriedly explained.

"Miss Jaina's magic is really amazing." Aaron looked away awkwardly and praised Jaina.

"Mr. Aaron is so complimentary." Jaina thanked him and continued to concentrate on making tea, and soon served a cup of black tea to each of the three of them.

Aaron was sipping her tea, but she was sighing in her heart, Dalaran's mages are indeed very hierarchical. Even a lady like Jaina, who comes from a royal family, has to do these tasks while studying. Should she be said to be a proud wizard?

"Haha, Jaina, you don't have to be so polite. Your talent is definitely the best among Dalaran." At this moment, an old voice came from upstairs, and Antonidas walked down from above.

"Aaron, are you here for that thing at your feet?" Antonidas didn't have to be polite. After sitting down on a chair, Aaron said straight to the point.

Aaron couldn't help but look at Antonidas with wide eyes. He hadn't said a word yet. Did this old mage even guess his purpose?

Noticing Aaron's doubts, Antonidas explained, "I just sensed strong magic fluctuations upstairs."

Aaron suddenly realized it, so he took out the core of the structure below and showed it to everyone. Not only Antonidas, but also Jaina and Rhonin also came up. Rhonin was busy leading the way just now and didn't have time to take a closer look at the core of the structure. But then again, he didn't study structures himself, so even if he looked carefully, he couldn't see anything.

After Antonidas walked around the structure, his face became serious, and he turned to look at Rhonin: "Rhonin, go and ask Master Kael'thas to come."

Rhonin hurriedly agreed and left the room in a hurry.

"Before Prince Kael'thas arrives, we can talk about something else first." Antonidas motioned Aaron and Vereesa to sit back and said, "I'm very curious about what Kel'Thuzad found in Broken Isles. Can Mr. Aaron help me answer this question?"

A drop of cold sweat broke out on Aaron's forehead at that time. Could it be that Antonidas planned to settle the score with himself for coaxing Kel'Thuzad into Broken Isles?
