"No!" Brann clutched the staff tightly to his chest, stumbling back several steps, his eyes wide as he darted between Anveena and Jiang Jie, guarding against them like a thief. "You won't take it from me! It's mine! My precious treasure!"
After killing Ironaya, Brann took the " Prehistoric Staff " into his hands and never gave it up, no matter how dangerous the situation was. He clearly regarded it as a treasure second only to the Disc of Norgannon.
It is indeed a treasure, but the real treasure is Ironaya's shattered body. For Brann, the staff is mainly used to open Ironaya's room.
Since Ironaya's body cannot be moved, this staff becomes crucial.
He has made up his mind:
Once we get back, we'll bring a thousand elite soldiers from Ironforge, drive away the Dark Iron Dwarves, and sweep up all the good stuff in Uldaman, taking it all to Ironforge!
He'll fight anyone who tries to take this staff!
Prince Brann.
Jiang Jie glanced at Brann, then gave Anveena a look, and said playfully, " Anveena, take all the Earthen and Stone Giants with you, and while you're at it, take all the treasures in this dungeon, including Ironaya's shattered body. You'll definitely be able to open that room, right? Then let's go. Anyway, we don't Disc of Norgannon, right?"
" The Disc of Norgannon? That thing is actually pretty useless! Hmm, brother, let's go then."
Anveena was a very perceptive girl, and she understood Jiang Jie Jiang Jie's meaning immediately. She muttered, "How about we wake Archaedas up last? If he discovers that Uldaman has no defensive power, he might take the Disc of Norgannon to Uldum or somewhere else, and then it will be impossible to find the Disc of Norgannon again!"
"Don't want!"
Brann yelled, then saw the faint smile on Jiang Jie's face and understood what Jiang Jie meant. After hesitating for a while, he said with unwavering determination, "Consider it a loan! Pay me back when you're done!"
"We can't use it all."
Jiang Jie and Anveena were telepathically connected, and Jiang Jie already knew the importance of the staff from her. So he shook his head and said, "It was agreed before: the Disc of Norgannon is yours, everything else is ours... including this staff. Fine, you can have the staff if you want it, Disc of Norgannon is yours too, as long as you can get it... everything else is ours. Anveena, don't wait any longer, Prince Brann isn't willing!"
"Hmm, I know!" Anveena pouted, looking displeased, and loudly commanded, "In the name of the Lesser Keeper ' Anveena,' all Earthen, Stone Giants..."
No, no, no!
Brann gritted his teeth, his face full of reluctance, but in the end, his desire for the Disc of Norgannon overcame everything. With an expression that said, "Someone owes me two copper coins," he held the staff forward with both hands, turning his head away as if he couldn't bear to look. "Take it, take it! What's so great about it! It's just a broken staff, I don't want it! I know there's a much better staff, the Staff of Origination... Um, don't look at me like that, I didn't say anything!"
Jiang Jie chuckled and winked at Anveena. Anveena raised her hand, and the " Prehistoric Staff " fell into her grasp.
Then, the staff began to change.
In the hands of mortals, this staff can only be used to open Ironaya's room, because that's a pre-programmed procedure. Other than that, it's completely useless; it's too heavy and not as useful as a wooden stick.
However, in the hands of the Titan Keepers, this staff is more useful than an epic staff, because it contains a portion of the Titans's authority, and only the Titan Keepers can use it.
Ironaya had just awakened and was likely influenced by the power of the Old Gods, leaving him disoriented. Furthermore, the " Prehistoric Staff " was in Brann's hands, which explained his apparent weakness.
If she has that staff, it will probably be twice as difficult for Jiang Jie and the others to kill her.
Anveena waved her " Prehistoric Staff," just like the magical wands of the Balala the Fairies, and began to transform.
This staff comes from Ironaya and should actually be called the " Staff of Ironaya." It contains the same Titans authority as Ironaya, and the power to manipulate the earth.
Anveena grasped it, and the Lesser Keeper's authority immediately bound Anveena to the staff. The staff began to change, emitting a rich earthy yellow light. A spinning earth elemental sphere appeared in the semi-circular head of the staff. The entire staff not only looked shiny and bright, but its surface also became smooth, no longer rough, but more refined.
The entire staff was covered with dense runes, ancient Titans Runes, which granted the staff the ability to control the earth.
The density and mystery of these runes, like those on Ironaya, are far greater and more complex than those on Earthen and Stone Giants.
Anveena gripped her staff, and her entire demeanor instantly transformed.
A sudden sandstorm appeared, enveloping Anveena.
The sandstorm spun rapidly, thinning and diminishing until it finally disappeared. On Anveena's body, an exquisite stone armor appeared, just like the stone armor of Ironaya, though of a different style, and it fit her perfectly.
"Ugh, it's hideous!" Anveena grimaced, clearly unhappy. She stretched out her left hand, and the dazzling blue light of the " Apostle of Argus " appeared. Then, she nodded like a chick pecking at rice, beaming with delight, and muttered, "This staff is much prettier. The Prehistoric Staff should have been given to Xiaotu..."
"Alright, stop playing around, let's begin." Jiang Jie smiled, looking at Anveena with eyes full of doting affection, as if looking at a spoiled little girl.
"Okay, I understand, brother."
Anveena brandished her Prehistoric Staff, her voice melodious and enchanting. "In the name of the Lesser Keeper ' Anveena,' all Earthen and Stone Giants, heed my command: Awaken!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the eyes of the Earthen and the Stone Giants suddenly opened and then glowed.
A few seconds later, when their eyes shone like translucent sapphires and blue light emanated from parts of their bodies, as if they were filled with blue light, they moved.
Just like in the game where she walked into Scarlet Monastery wielding the " Corrupted Ashbringer," a continuous "thump, thump, thump" sound rang out, and all the Earthen and Stone Giants knelt on one knee, facing Anveena, uttering rough, deep, stone-like voices:
" Earthen / Stone Giants, I pledge my allegiance to the great Keeper ' Anveena '!"
The resounding, thunderous sound, powerful and resonant, was like the sound of heavy machinery at work, awe-inspiring and awe-inspiring.
Surrounded by two circles of Earthen and Stone Giants, kneeling on one knee, the scene was truly magnificent; Anveena seemed to have become the queen of the Earthen and the queen of the Stone Giants.
Especially now that she's wearing a full set of exquisite stone armor, she looks like a slender version of a female Earthen, a miniature version of Ironaya.
Looking at these Earthen and Stone Giants, Jiang Jie nodded in satisfaction.
He was overjoyed. Now he essentially possessed an army of rock warriors, whose combat power would definitely surpass that of a 500-strong pure professional army on a large battlefield!
With this force, he essentially had another directly subordinate unit besides the Fenris People's Army, another trump card, giving him greater confidence in the face of the upcoming large-scale wars.
"Huh? What's this altar for? Is it for opening the last temple door? Then we can forget about Archaedas? Hmm, Brann is the smartest! The Disc of Norgannon is mine, and the first fragment of the Staff of Origination is mine too!" Brann appeared before the Altar of the Keepers and placed his hand on it.
Then, a beam of Shadow energy shot out from the altar and struck Archaedas.
Then, Archaedas opened his eyes.
Blue and white light shone from his eyes, shining like two flashlights. This Titan Keepers, who had slumbered for countless millennia, had awakened!
