"Disgusting woman! Leave this to me! I sense a powerful enemy approaching; you all go and deal with them!" Jaina's voice was icy, and the sapphire at the tip of her staff emitted waves of Arcane energy, instantly freezing all the surrounding Undead at a temperature of at least -20 degrees Celsius!
Holding a staff and accompanied by Water Elemental, she walked towards the deepest part of the room.
Jandice is Archmage, and so is Archmage.
This is the battlefield of the Archmage.
Needless to say, she knew Jandice, and she knew every Archmage in Dalaran. She had even taken Jandice's illusion magic class. Now, seeing Jandice's fate, she only wanted to personally help Jandice escape this predicament so that she could report back to her teacher, Antonidas, when she returned to Dalaran.
As a member of Dalaran, she has this responsibility.
Fenna hesitated for a moment, but Jiang Jie pulled her away.
If Jaina can't even handle a resurrected Archmage, she's not Jaina, and she wouldn't deserve her full set of purple gear. For a mage, equipment is extremely important.
Perhaps Jandice's spellcasting abilities were stronger than Jaina's in life, but she was resurrected, her soul damaged and her mind clouded. Whether she can still be considered an Archmage is debatable. Not to mention, most of her valuable possessions had already been looted by the Cult of the Damned. Apart from the clothes covering her body, all she had left was a fine blue staff...
In terms of equipment, she's far inferior to Jaina!
Most importantly, Jiang Jie did indeed "see" a large wave of zombies approaching from the 3D images, and among those zombies, there were indeed some that they should be wary of.
For example, a Lich whose energy fluctuations are even more terrifying Jandice's:
" Ras Frostwhisper!"
Breaking through the dense blockade of Undead, Ashbringer left a trail of ashes. Jiang Jie behind Fenna and finally saw the leading Lich.
Ras Frostwhisper is no nobody.
In his lifetime, he was a notorious wandering mage in Stromgarde, who never received a formal education in Dalaran. Simply put, he was an amateur, not an academic.
It's already quite remarkable for someone who didn't learn any special skills to grow into a high-level mage, let alone the fact that Ras Frostwhisper resolutely joined the Cult of the Damned and became one of its first members.
Yes, the first batch of members were Kel'Thuzad's first group of subordinates. They were highly valued by Kel'Thuzad and also received the Lich King's attention.
He is one of the very few Lich were directly transformed from the Lich King!
In other words, Ras Frostwhisper holds a very high position; otherwise, Kel'Thuzad wouldn't have ordered him to replace the Araj the Summoner in guarding Scholomance. Scans from the game pod also indicate that Ras Frostwhisper possesses more energy than the Araj the Summoner.
He was transformed into Lich in the slaughterhouse of Stratholme. The transformation probably didn't take too long, likely after Arthas's massacre of the city... most likely recently.
Otherwise, would someone really think everyone around them is blind when they transform into Lich in a bustling metropolis?
Jiang Jie discovered that the current Scholomance was different from the Scholomance in his memory. For example, there were no flesh golems, no Kirtonos the Herald, no Death Knight Darkreaver, and no Marduk Bohr in black. After all, the Scholomance in his memory was the Scholomance 25 years after the Dark Portal, while the current Scholomance was still 20 years Dark Portal.
However, some bosses still exist, such as Jandice Barov, whom we just saw, and Ras Frostwhisper, who is currently standing among a large number of Undead.
" Paladin? Thieves? How did you get in? Where's Jandice? Didn't she stop you? Huh, she was blocked by a mage? Tsk tsk, more fresh meat delivered to our doorstep? Gandling will be ecstatic! The smell of fresh flesh..."
"So delicious!" The villainous boss is always talkative, and Ras Frostwhisper is no exception. Having been banished from Stratholme by Kel'Thuzad to this place, Ras Frostwhisper is probably feeling lost and bored, with no one to talk to. Darkmaster Gandling is busy with his horrific experiments and tormenting new necromancer students, Jandice is a necrophiliac lunatic who doesn't respect anyone else, so he probably doesn't have much of a chance to speak to them.
So when they saw someone arrive, they weren't in a hurry to make a move, and instead started rambling on and on.
Fenna is different. What can Paladin do when encountering Undead? Sit down, eat some sunflower seeds, and chat?
There's not much to say, just one word: Qian (乾)!
With Ashbringer in hand, Fenna charged straight in!
Fenna's directness is manifested in her actions!
Jiang Jie understood this all too well, so just before Fenna made her move, he had already pushed out with both palms, unleashing the Proud Dragon Repents!
The dragon-shaped aura instantly cleared the area, blowing all the Undead around the Lich away by two meters, making room for Fenna to attack.
Why two meters?
Because this is a corridor, the space is limited. Want to be launched to a farther place? I can't do that!
The next moment, Ashbringer, carrying billowing Holy Fire, charged towards Ras.
Then it was immediately frozen.
The ground was frozen, but was instantly melted by the Holy Fire. However, a wall appeared between Fenna and Ras Frostwhisper, a wall of ice at least half a meter thick.
Behind them, there was also a wall of ice.
Two ice walls, one in front of the other, and they were trapped inside!
It must be said that Ras Frostwhisper is quite powerful. Most importantly, he is different from the Araj the Summoner. He is not as useless as Araj, nor as poor as Araj, who doesn't even have a single piece of purple equipment.
Ras Frostwhisper is a Lich who doesn't use a staff. His most precious piece of equipment is the purple robe that makes him look "graceful and noble" and "extraordinary"!
Yes, a purple robe, a very beautiful purple robe.
Moreover, for some reason, Jiang Jie always felt that the robe seemed more suitable for women, because the cut was a bit small and the decorations were more suited to women, which made Jiang Jie suspect:
Could it have been taken from Jandice Barov?
Possibly!
As the matriarch of the Barov Family, it's impossible that Lady Jandice wouldn't have a single piece of purple gear. Since she was killed and resurrected as Undead, her valuable items must have been taken by the Cult of the Damned, or more precisely, by Kel'Thuzad, the leader of the Cult of the Damned.
As a member of the Council of Six, Kel'Thuzad certainly didn't value Lady Jandice's equipment, seeing no use for it, so he bestowed it upon his subordinates.
And his most valued subordinate seems to be Ras Frostwhisper?
Thus, a Lich, who had no biological sex, donned a woman's robes...
