Jiang Jie's previous reconnaissance wasn't meaningless; he had indeed found the path to Demon Fall Canyon. Of course, that path was teeming with demons, and Jiang Jie dared not approach. Almost all the demons had been mobilized to fight the main force of the Night Elf, leaving only a small number of demons still being summoned in Demon Fall Canyon. Jiang Jie and Kael'thas quickly arrived at a hill near the canyon, where they met up with Anveena and the four minor Elemental Spirits. "They are... Strange, why do I sense the power of the Sunwell on her?" Looking at Anveena beside Jiang Jie, Kael'thas's face showed confusion; he felt that this girl seemed to have some connection to the Sunwell. "She is Anveena, formed by Krasus using the remaining energy of the Sunwell." Jiang Jie looked at Kael'thas, a half-smile on his face, "What are your thoughts?" "I..." Kael'thas glanced at Anveena, then at the four lesser Elemental Spirits Elemental Spirits, sensing the combined energy fluctuations emanating from them that were no weaker than that of the phoenix "O." Finally, he looked at Jiang Jie, thought carefully, and then gently shook his head, saying, "If I had seen her two months ago, I would have had some thoughts. But now, no!" Kael'thas understood what Jiang Jie meant. Anveena was the embodiment of the remaining essence of the Sunwell's energy, but nothing more. Isle of Quel'Danas was still occupied by the Undead. Even if all the Undead were wiped out, that place would still be contaminated by the Scourge Plague, and the Sunwell itself would be polluted. It was impossible to rebuild it in the short term, even with Anveena. Therefore, at least for the next few years, at least until Quel'Danas was purified, Anveena's existence was meaningless to the High Elf. Of course, if it were two months ago, Kael'thas would still have tried to take Anveena away, because Anveena represented the hope of rebuilding the Sunwell, and he wouldn't allow her to fall into the hands of others. But now, he has conquered Dire Maul, accepted the Shen'dralar Elves, and obtained the method to cure his magic addiction. So, for at least ten or twenty years, perhaps even a hundred or a thousand, he won't have to worry about it anymore. Anveena still doesn't mean much to him. In terms of sheer energy intensity, Anveena isn't even as powerful as him. Well, even so...
Anyone else would have taken Anveena away, but he would be facing Jiang Jie. High Elf are proud and aloof, but not indifferent; they are even more faithful to their promises and value emotions than fickle and complex humans. Since Jiang Jie has done the High Elf a great favor—even the Dire Maul was obtained thanks to Jiang Jie's guidance—and since Jiang Jie has already found another path for the High Elf to overcome their magic addiction, Kael'thas has no reason to take Anveena away from Jiang Jie. Not to mention, Krasus, the ancient red dragon mage who is even more powerful than him, is involved. " Nicholas, you've deceived me so badly!" Kael'thas shook his head, truly feeling an urge to strangle Jiang Jie. Jiang Jie chuckled. Kael'thas was just saying it casually. In reality, even if Anveena were taken away and sacrificed to rebuild the Sunwell Anveena, it would be impossible to restore its former energy and glory. The original Sunwell was formed by drawing energy from the Azeroth Ley Line over thousands of years. Do you really think that the water from Sunwell could create a Sunwell powerful enough to summon Kil'jaeden? If that were the case, how powerful would Queen Azshara, who supposedly bathed in the Well of Eternity, have been? How powerful would the Highborne of the ancient Kaldorei Empire, those who had the opportunity to access or even obtain Sunwell water, have been? Illidan, even with the Waters of the Well of Eternity, wasn't incredibly powerful. But the three Waters of the Well of Eternity created a new Well of Eternity because the location where Illidan placed it was one of the nodes where the Azeroth Ley Line's energy had converged most after the Cataclysm. The Waters of the Well of Eternity was merely a marker, a catalyst for gathering Ley Line energy. Dath'Remar Sunstrider traversed countless mountains and rivers to find Quel'Danas, the node where the Ley Line converged. He then used the Waters of the Well of Eternity to create the Sunwell, which took thousands of years to accumulate to its current size. Therefore, even if the Sunwell is rebuilt, it can never regain its former power. In the game, Anveena ultimately sacrificed herself to purify the Sunwell, but so what? Blood Elf still cannot...
The former glory has been restored, and the ancient Runestone Barrier is no more. That's all. Of course, Jiang Jie chose this moment to let Kael'thas know of Anveena's existence not only because he genuinely needed Kael'thas's help, but also because he wasn't afraid Kael'thas might have malicious intentions. During this time, Anveena had been studying High Elf magic, and even human magic from Dalaran. Jiang Jie had obtained many copies of Dalaran spellbooks from his master, Ansirem. Humans were much more open in this regard than High Elf; Jiang Jie had acquired over a thousand spellbooks, ranging from apprentice to master, filling the spatial ring he had given Anveena. Anveena's learning progress was rapid; Arcane energy was practically her own, and she was already learning some high-level mage knowledge. This was a remarkable achievement for a beginner, and perhaps in the entire history of magic in Azeroth, there was no precedent for Anveena to be faster. Neither Aegwynn nor Medivh could have done it. Anveena could already use many powerful spells, and with the four minor Elemental Spirits, the combined energy intensity was actually no weaker than Kael'thas after losing the Sunwell. Add Jiang Jie to the mix, and she truly wasn't afraid of Kael'thas. This was Jiang Jie's confidence. He now possessed the confidence to converse with Legendary!... Continuing onward, about ten minutes later, in a secluded cave, Jiang Jie found Thrall and Grom. " High Elf!" " Orcs!" The meeting between the heroes of the two factions was not pleasant, but thanks to the efforts of Jiang Jie and Thrall, and Kael'thas's own restraint, the anger subsided, and no conflict erupted. "We're here to slay demons, not to fight amongst ourselves!" Thrall seemed to still have control over Grom, reprimanding him before glancing at Kael'thas and then turning his gaze to Jiang Jie: "This is the reinforcement you brought? The High Elf Prince Kael'thas? I've heard of him; he's a member of the Kirin Tor Council!"
In fact, he had certainly heard of it, because during the Second War, Kael'thas's wrath swept through the Orcs army, and countless Orcs died at his hands. The wounds and hatred the Orcs inflicted on the Eastern Kingdoms would probably never be erased. He had only heard about it, but Grom had witnessed it all firsthand. Kael'thas's spellcasting abilities and magical power made him extremely wary, knowing that if this man really went berserk, he probably wouldn't be able to defeat him. "Let's go. The Night Elf have already tied down the main force of the demon army; we'll take care of the decapitation strike!" Jiang Jie said, "I've already spoken with Cenarius. As long as you can kill Mannoroth, then the past grievances can be put aside, as long as you stop indiscriminate logging!" Night Elf also cut down trees to build houses. When the Orcs first arrived in Ashenvale Forest, Cenarius and the Night Elf had been observing them, without any direct confrontation. It was only after witnessing the Warsong Clan's genocidal logging that they finally became enraged. Cenarius didn't care about the death of a few dozen or a few hundred trees; what he cared about was the ecology of Ashenvale Forest, and he would not allow such genocidal destruction. " The Orcs agreed!" Thrall was wise; he didn't object at this crucial moment but readily agreed. He had also heard Medivh's warning and admonition. He and Jaina had found Medivh in an ancient cave ruin in the Stonetalon Mountains. To completely rid themselves of the demonic influence, simply killing Mannoroth probably wouldn't be enough; they would at least have to eliminate Archimonde and annihilate the Burning Legion's main force that had come to this world. Before that, they shouldn't clash with the Night Elf again. Having arrived here, they no longer concealed their tracks but proceeded directly along the road towards the canyon.
