Jiang Jie looked at Anveena.
Anveena possessed all the virtues of a human girl; her appearance was simply beyond human capabilities. If one had to choose, she was more beautiful than Fenna or Calia— far more beautiful...
She's so beautiful she doesn't look human!
Of course, she wasn't actually human at all.
"And what about you? Will you come with me?" Anveena was truly like a blank sheet of paper. She had only been in this world for a little over a month, and although she possessed a high IQ, she hadn't learned much yet, just like an infant.
"Just like I told you before, we don't exist, Anveena. He will take care of you. You are an independent life now, and you should live like a real human girl. This divine bow from the Sunwell will give you the power to protect yourself, and he will protect you too," Krasus said.
"Okay, Krasus... Uncle." Anveena lowered her head, somewhat dejected.
Krasus just spent half an hour calmly explaining the whole story.
Anveena was incredibly intelligent and quickly understood everything, but she still had the heart of a little girl and cried like a baby.
This made Jiang Jie realize that Anveena was indeed a truly independent being.
This certainly demonstrates Krasus's immense power, but it is likely also related to Anveena's background.
She is, after all, the embodiment of the Sunwell's energy, originating from the Well of Eternity. She is, in essence, the blood and soul of the Titans Azeroth, intimately connected to the planet beneath her feet and the Titans it nurtured...
"Take good care of her, otherwise, Aegwynn won't be able to withstand the red dragon's wrath. You should know that she no longer possesses the same power as Alexstrasza!" Krasus waved his hand, and a teleportation circle appeared on the ground. "Then, let's go!"
The next moment, Jiang Jie and Anveena arrived at a certain place on the Fenris Isles.
Krasus's teleportation spell is that powerful.
"From today onwards, you will live here." Jiang Jie led Anveena to Fenris Keep and settled Anveena near his room.
"Oh, she's Anveena Tigo, the niece of an elder. That elder asked me to take care of her," Jiang Jie quickly explained, looking at the little maid whose face was burning with curiosity and Eight Trigrams.
He didn't want any rumors to reach Fenna's ears; that would be bad.
" Daphne, tidy up her room, make it as comfortable as possible." Jiang Jie smiled, then turned and left.
Cheers erupted from the maids behind me, followed by hushed whispers.
Jiang Jie shook his head.
Krasus has already explained that Anveena is clever and won't reveal her background. A little girl appearing in Fenris Keep might arouse the Eight Trigrams of some people, but it's not enough to attract too much attention.
With the orange bow " Thori'dal " around, there are really not many people in this world who are qualified to take Anveena seriously.
Dar'Khan certainly had the ability to find Anveena again, but Fenris Isle was not entirely unprepared.
Jiang Jie was not someone to be easily manipulated, and besides, he had other preparations.
"Go to Lordaeron and tell the High Elf ambassador in the mage district that I need the best High Elf spellbooks," Jiang Jie said softly.
"Hmm." A voice sounded in the darkness, Ivan vanished.
Jiang Jie gently shook his head.
This student has been Stealth following me ever since the moment they saw me. Did they really think they wouldn't notice?
That said, his Stealth ability is getting stronger and stronger. No wonder he's a genius who ran 60 meters in the Thief Apprentice Trial!
" Nicholas, are you really not one of my people?" In Jiang Jie's own room, the soul of Patriarch Alexei floated out from the family sword, looking at Jiang Jie with a complicated expression.
"By chance, I inherited his body and a part of his soul. Therefore, I am not Nicholas, yet I am also Nicholas," Jiang Jie said calmly.
His conversation with Medivh in Silvermoon City was not kept secret from Patriarch Alexei, so Alexei knew everything.
"So, you're not going to revive the Barov Family, are you?" Alexei asked.
"I can't guarantee you anything, and I've never guaranteed you anything. I can only say that if circumstances allow, I will. But asking me to do everything in my power to revive the Barov Family, I'm sorry, I can't." Jiang Jie didn't hide his thoughts, because in front of such an old fox, he couldn't hide his true feelings.
"Then let me do it myself." Alexei was silent for a moment, then said, "Let me leave. I'll find a way to rebuild the Barov Family myself. There are still many family members scattered far and wide..."
"Then leave, Alexei." Jiang Jie glanced at Alexei and said calmly.
"You... aren't you going to stop me? I know a lot of your secrets." Alexei stared intently at Jiang Jie, as if trying to see into Jiang Jie's heart.
"The secret you know is known to many, such as the Medivh the Astral Mage... Compared to him, what are you?" Jiang Jie shook his head and said, " Caer Darrow Island is now a wasteland. The Order of the Silver Hand simply don't have the resources to purify it. I've heard that many Undead have appeared again. If you can truly rebuild the Barov Family and completely purify that area, it will be a good thing for Lordaeron. At that time, I will propose to Her Majesty the Queen that Caer Darrow Island will still belong to you, and the Barov Family will become a member of Lordaeron."
"Then... what are your conditions?" Alexei suppressed his excitement.
At his age, he clearly understands that there's no such thing as a free lunch.
Given Jiang Jie's current status and power, if he really wanted to deal with him, the Barov Family would never be able to recover. For him, that would be more painful than his soul disappearing into thin air.
" The Barov Family, serve me," Jiang Jie said. "You should understand that I'm the only one in all of Lordaeron willing and able to help you. The Order of the Silver Hand, and many others whose families were destroyed by the Undead Plague, probably wish you and all the Barov people would die immediately!"
"I understand." Patriarch Alexei was clearly prepared; Jiang Jie's request was not beyond his expectations. "Give me six months... I will report my every move to you! After six months, the Barov Family will serve you!"
It's a deal.
Alexei's soul drifted out, took the family sword that represented the patriarch, and quietly left Fenris Keep without alerting anyone.
He is now a ghost, and although his combat strength is questionable, Jiang Jie knows very well that the most powerful thing about this clan leader is not his martial prowess, but his wisdom.
With his abilities and the secrets he holds in his mind, rebuilding the Barov Family would be no difficult task.
The Barov Family will become Jiang Jie's most powerful force in the shadows, and Jiang Jie is not worried about them betraying him.
Jiang Jie was well aware of Patriarch Alexei's obsession with those fiefdoms belonging to the Barov Family. As long as the Lordaeron regime existed, the only way for him to regain those fiefdoms was through Jiang Jie.
He has the ability to rebuild the Barov Family, but only Jiang Jie can restore the Barov Family to its former glory.
It's that simple.
